Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 953 - 384: Dissolution of the Parliament!

The minister named Wang heard this and looked disgruntled, so he said nothing more.

Zhou Mingyuan spoke directly at this point: "Everyone might have misunderstood my point. We are not joining the Phoenix Society, but seeking cooperation. The governance of resources should remain separate and independent, without affecting each other. However, since it is cooperation, we can make some concessions for mutual benefit. After all, it is all about human solidarity."

"Therefore, I believe that to show sincerity, first, we should proactively enter dialogue and negotiations with the Phoenix Society to express our willingness to cooperate."

"Second, regarding the Deep Red World issue—due to the Vanguard Plan, we must cooperate with these Descent Faction people as a reluctant measure for human civilization. But after this, we should sever ties with the Deep Red World and share relevant information. This is very important."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ming, sitting opposite, had a sharp look in his eyes. He thought this old fellow has done many things harmful to humanity in collusion with the Deep Red World, and now he is pushing everything onto the Vanguard Plan. The intention is clear—to suggest that Chu Zhaonan should bear the greatest responsibility.

However, Chu Zhaonan was unmoved by these words and instead spoke to Zhou Mingyuan.

"The people will not forgive us. Why do you think that the Phoenix Society will choose to cooperate with us simply because you severed ties with the Deep Red World?"

Zhou Mingyuan helplessly sighed, "So we must negotiate and see their attitude. Matters concerning the survival of human civilization have no moral distinction of good or evil. Now that we are actively seeking cooperation, if they are unwilling to accept, then we can only live and die with every resident of Dawn City. I believe, with our formidable walls and cannons, and the united effort of six million warriors, we may well fight for a break of dawn amidst the darkness!"

After these words, many people’s expressions changed. Those sitting here were not fools, and soon understood the implication in Zhou Mingyuan’s words.

Chu Zhaonan’s expression turned cold upon hearing this: "Are you suggesting to use the lives and resources of the entire city as bargaining chips in negotiations with the Phoenix Society?"

Zhou Mingyuan remained unfazed, smiling slightly: "The lives of an entire city? Chairman Chu, such a big hat I cannot wear. Right now, we are actively seeking peace; if the Phoenix Society is not willing to unite with us, do we have any other solution? As for the residents of the whole city, as a government, we must fulfill our responsibility to protect, right? Besides, the Star Abyss Movement, the acceleration of darkness, is not our original intention, right? Isn’t that so, Chairman Chu?"

For a moment, everyone felt a tense atmosphere, which was a first in the Federation Parliament. Previously, even if Zhou Mingyuan had disagreements with Chu Zhaonan, they would not be so direct.

"You are right." Chu Zhaonan looked sharply at Zhou Mingyuan, then addressed everyone: "Then I will tell all of you what the theme of this emergency meeting of the Federation is today."

The assembly hall was dead silent as Chu Zhaonan gradually walked to the forefront, stepping on and crushing a cracked Federation emblem, standing straight with a stern expression.

"Gentlemen, this meeting will be the last formal meeting of our Federation Government, and this is my last speech as Federation Chairman!"

At these words, the entire city fell silent.

Zhou Mingyuan’s gaze tightened, and his little finger trembled slightly.

"With Apocalypse Day approaching, the Federation Government, as the leader government of Blue Star humanity, has invested all known human strength in coping. Very unfortunately, the outcomes all ended in failure. As a human leader, no matter if it is a natural disaster or man-made calamity, I bear inextricable responsibility. But at the same time, my clear mind tells me that this is a war destined for human defeat, so to continue the flame of human civilization, I cannot approach with a fluke mentality. The Vanguard Plan has already commenced, and any cost and sacrifice to complete this plan are worthwhile. All blame and infamy shall be borne by me, Chu Zhaonan."

"Now the Star Abyss Movement is here, and peril is upon us. We all know that Dawn City can no longer ensure the safety of disaster victims, so I declare, effective immediately, the lifting of curfew and control on entering and exiting the city. Let those who want to leave, leave; let those who seek refuge, be given refuge. The Blazing Angel Department and United Garrison Army will pledge to defend Dawn City unto the last person, the last moment, until everyone withdraws safely or perishes."

"Lastly, as the Chairman of the Blue Star Federation Government, I declare that after the Vanguard Plan is completed, Dawn City will be handed over to Phoenix Society’s jurisdiction, and the Federation Parliament will dissolve!"

"Absolutely not!!"

As soon as Chu Zhaonan finished speaking, Zhou Mingyuan stood up with a shout, his expression livid, and the flesh on his face seemed to tremble.

"According to Federation law, the Chairman does not have the authority to dissolve the parliament!"

For a moment, the assembly hall was dead silent, all eyes focused on the two Federation Chairmen.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, if you have any objections...now shooting is still an option," Chu Zhaonan looked at Zhou Mingyuan with a piercing gaze, "Oh, by the way, where are your Night Patrol Team and City Defense Camp personnel?"

"I’ve executed them all!"

Boom!

At this moment, the door of the meeting hall was kicked open, and dozens of elite garrison troops in full Power Armor poured in, controlling the situation in an instant. Lu Tianye, clad in Steel Armor, entered with a chilling cold air, scanning his gaze over Zhou Mingyuan and the others.

"What did you say?!" Zhou Mingyuan’s expression changed drastically at this moment, panicking at the sight.

Lu Tianye slowly walked over and said in a deep voice: "Without military permission, the City Defense Camp and Night Patrol Team are not allowed to enter the administrative area unlawfully. Star Port defense is managed by the garrison. City Defense Camp Captain Wang Quan and Night Patrol Team Deputy Leader Song Ke violated military orders, forcibly entering the military restricted area with deadly weapons. I have executed them, and Night Patrol Team Leader Ji Kun is missing."
