The Minister of Homeland Security felt utterly refreshed when he saw the expressions on those legislators' faces!
I can't be the only one getting threatened!
Now let's see what choice you legislators make.
The legislators in Parliament were cursing Li John inwardly as well!
Shouldn't rescuing hostages be the government's responsibility? Why had it been shoved onto Parliament?
Wasn't this supposed to be the President, Vice President, and all those government officials' business?
Weren't legislators like them only supposed to sit here and supervise those people?
Why had the responsibility landed on Parliament now?
Li John was nothing but a shameless opportunist!
"I don't think we can sell A-Class Battleships to Li John, because there is no precedent for this in the Alliance," one legislator said.
"I agree with this honorable legislator. I also oppose military sales!"
"I agree with this honorable legislator as well!"
"I agree too!" The opposition legislators all voiced their agreement upon hearing that.
Because the opposition wanted the hostage rescue to fail so badly that they could impeach both the President and Vice President, then kick out the Minister of Homeland Security, the Minister of Defense, and all the rest of them!
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not finished yet." Seeing so many people agree with his proposal, the legislator who had spoken earlier hurriedly added.
If the hostage rescue failed, these people would definitely pin the black pot on him, saying that he had opposed military sales and that Li John had therefore not taken part in the rescue.
"I abstain! I abstain!" the legislator shouted.
"Honorable Legislator, this is neither a market nor a supermarket, much less a bar!"
"You must take responsibility for your words. Are you sure you oppose military sales?" Other legislators immediately tried to force the man into a corner.
