If anyone else had done this, none of the people present would have been afraid. But it was Yunyi did it, and he had a criminal record.
That time, if Shen Yi's phone call hadn't stopped him, and if they hadn't compromised and agreed to his conditions, that "sun" would have truly fallen on their heads.
This lightning bolt, though not as intimidating as the previous "sun," still didn't want any of these high-ranking officials to die here meaninglessly. Forget about factional harmony!
Upon considering this, many people immediately raised their hands to indicate their support for Yunyi's proposal.
People have a herd mentality; once the first person raises their hand, a second and a third will soon follow. In no time, politicians and officials who were just silent have raised their hands to approve the punishment of the " Stick Faction " official.
"Very good, it seems everyone is quite righteous!" Yunyi smiled, waved his hand, and dispelled the lightning that was swirling around his fingertips.
"Since everyone is so reasonable, let's move on to the second agenda item. These ' Stick Faction ' figures also hold high positions, and it's not good for the country if their posts remain unfilled for too long. I think it would be better if you all nominated these positions and then discussed it further," Yunyi asked.
"Um?"
"This!?"
Many people were taken aback by Yunyi's second proposal. It's worth noting that the " Stick Faction " held numerous high-ranking positions, and according to Yunyi's suggestion, those below them would likely also need to be reassigned. This would create a large number of vacant positions in the executive government!
"I support Second Lieutenant Yun's suggestion. These people hold very important positions and cannot remain unmanaged indefinitely."
"Yes, I support Second Lieutenant Yun's suggestion."
Soon, a chorus of support erupted in the meeting room.
Just then, Yunyi raised a finger and placed it in front of him, making a silencing gesture.
In an instant, the conference room fell silent. Of course, this wasn't because the politicians were insightful, but because Yunyi had used Kotodama Curse.
"I won't interfere with who you nominate or how you negotiate the allocation of positions, since I'm not a politician and I'm not experienced in government. However, I have one condition! I don't want to see any more ' Stick Faction members holding these positions in the future. I hope you can 'consider' my suggestion. What do you all think?"
Yunyi chuckled as he looked at the politicians in front of him, their faces flushed. At this moment, even their breathing was suppressed by the Kotodama Curse, so how could they possibly answer Yunyi's question?
"Silence means acquiescence, right? That's what everyone means, isn't it? Then I'm relieved," Yunyi said with a light laugh.
As he finished Kanon, the Kotodama Curse on those people was lifted. The next moment, rapid breathing filled the conference room.
Yunyi looked at their disheveled appearance and sneered inwardly.
"Now, this is my final proposal." Yunyi's voice rang out again, causing the politicians, who were still catching their breath, to stop abruptly. Of course, this time it wasn't Yunyi's Kotodama Curse, but rather their attention that was focused.
"With the ' Stick Faction ' members in the executive government out of power, unrest in the military is inevitable. Therefore, I've taken precautions and removed all officers under their Stick Faction. I'll have the evidence submitted to the military headquarters as soon as possible, so you don't need to worry about that. However, I want to warn you all that the military, controlled by the Stick Faction,' has been under their control for a long time, and managing it might be difficult. Therefore, I plan to have my people take over, completely Regrowth the existing structure, and then train them. Once all this is done, I will transfer command to Liu Yunde. I think you all have no objections, right?"
Yunyi's proposal sent a chill down the spines of the politicians present. If the positions in the executive branch were like cakes Yunyi had offered them, then the arrangements for the military were like knives Yunyi had handed them.
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun—this is an age-old truth. How could they sit comfortably in their positions in the executive government without some kind of military backing? Yunyi's actions are tantamount to uprooting them.
This made many people uneasy. Especially those " Military Faction " members, who were the ones who needed the army's support the most!
Just as one of the " Military Faction " members stood up, Yunyi's fingertip was already pointed at him.
Seeing the electric sparks dancing on Yunyi's fingertips and the faint smile on his lips, the man stiffly shifted his body a few times, then casually sat back down.
Deterrence, still just deterrence! Yunyi's behavior of talking about democracy while actually intimidating them from beginning to end makes these politicians feel like they've swallowed a fly.
Unfortunately, Yunyi is too powerful, and they are basically powerless against him. In the past, there was the Yun Family patriarch, Yun Zhan, and his mother, Shen Yi, who could keep him in check. But since Shen Yi went abroad, she has had less and less contact with the country, and now she has almost completely severed ties with the Shen Family. As for patriarch Yun Zhan, his absence from today's meeting is already a statement to them.
Faced with Yunyi like this, what could they do? Confront him? Seize military power? Those were foolish things only the " Stick Faction " would do. They preferred to endure it for now and deal with it slowly later.
With the politicians' tacit approval, Yunyi led Xiaoxue and the others out of the conference room. As he left, Chen Mufeng looked at him with a puzzled expression.
At first, he guessed that Yunyi would resign from his military post and leave the military at today's meeting, and that he would also speak out for those mages who were forced to join the army. However, Yunyi did not do either of these things until he left, which made him suspicious.
"Lieutenant, Elder Chen seems quite puzzled by your actions," Xiaoxue reminded Yunyi after they left the conference room.
"Don't worry about it, old man. His thinking and vision are already fixed," Yunyi said.
Although the military system for mages in the Great Asian Alliance was not implemented from the beginning, it has accumulated considerable resentment among the mages who were forcibly conscripted over the years. In this situation, it is naturally impossible to simply release them back into civilian life. Some preparations are needed before adjusting the military system.
"I'll leave the matter of the military organization to you and the Celestial Master's Mansion's Mansion, Xiaoxue," Yunyi instructed.
Xiaoxue responded and looked at Yunyi: "So what are you planning to do next?"
" Sister Yi Yi's research is almost finished. Before that system is completed, I need to hurry up and find Gu Jie."
"Oh, right, there's a guy named Chen something-or-other in the Special Operations Team, he's a captain. Find him for me and have someone bring him to see me."
