    A mighty era has begun.  The Xipang Empire assembled an army of 2.4 million people and fifteen "Holy Elephant-class" fleets with the highest combat strength. The Xipang Empire's brave and capable prince, Wang Jiaide, served as the commander. They invaded the empire through the Weimar space channel.  Eagle Empire.  The Weimar Space Channel is one of several important large-scale space channels connecting the Xipang Empire and the Great Eagle Empire on the other side of the galaxy.  When the Xipang Empire launched a war announcement, alarming the Human Covenant Alliance and the Great Eagle Empire, the Xipang army, which was originally expected to take a month to completely transport through the Weimar space channel, actually took less than a week to invade with all its strength.  Ruhuo had to cross this passage.  Approaching the Cangzhou Star District where the Great Eagle Empire was defenseless.  The people of Xia Sanyan Galaxy are on the way to retreat.  I saw the airport and defense ships over the planet burning with fire one after another and falling, and Xipang's fleet and locusts descended overwhelmingly.  We learned that the three main stars in the Cangzhou star area had fallen.  The Great Eagle Empire's Second Fleet led by veteran Phoebus, the Fourth Fleet led by Admiral Li Qinghe, and millions of soldiers rushed to the Cangzhou Star District to stop the enemy.  This prevented the expansion of corruption in the Cangzhou Star District.  In August, the fleets of both sides opened a battle line in the universe.  In September, after the two armies led by Phibes and Li Qinghe initially slowed down Wangxiade's advance, they made a detailed plan and decided to launch the "Lower Three Extensions" with the goal of attacking the supply line of Wangxiade's army.  The Battle for the Retake of the Galaxy.¡±  In this battle that will last for several months in the future, 300,000 officers from the Second Fleet and the Fourth Fleet of the five major fleets of the empire, and more than 30 mechanics units will be engaged in the landing and replacement operation of the three main stars of the Lower Sanyan System.  Middle In history, this fierce battle was called the "Autumn Offensive" by both sides. This is also the autumn of the Empire's capital star circle.  The influence of the war has not yet penetrated into this vast land of the capital star.  It is still business as usual here. On the road to the countryside and mountains, you can always see leisurely people driving with their families and children. The commercial streets are still as prosperous as before. The huge city can be seen from a distance as countless flying spaceships.  So when Lin Hai walked out of the ground airport, he looked up and saw dozens of various spaceships flying through the sky.  In the distant sky, aircraft are as dense as dust clouds.  It is indeed the grandeur of the Capital Star Circle. I have heard rumors for a long time that the Capital Star is a hundred times larger than the Riverside Star, and ten times larger than the Milan Star, the premier capital of the Milan Star District. It is even more prosperous and politically and economically influential.  Although the Capital Star is so large, it meets all the environments for human settlement. For example, the water and soil here are softer and the light is abundant. Under a larger volume than the Riverside Star, the density of the planet is relatively small, so the gravity Gf is still  Stablize.  Meets all the conditions required by human beings.  At the same time, princes, nobles, and wealthy families gather here.  In the past, parliamentarian-level officials from planets like Riverside could be seen everywhere here.  So much so that the mayor of a city on a third-level planet like Riverside is at the same level as the street officials.  The planetary councilors of Milan, the secondary capital, are not even as good as the district-level chief executive of a city here.  Star district councilors may be barely qualified.  In the aristocratic world, there are earl-level nobles in the starry sky by the river, and in three out of ten of the speeding luxury land and aviation cars in the capital star, or outside the airport, there are earl-level nobles sitting in them.  There are only a handful of marquis nobles in the capital of a star region. Perhaps finding a professor from one of the famous schools in the capital star can establish a relationship with the marquis family.  According to preliminary estimates, there are thousands of marquises in the capital star.  Only the district-level members and speaker of one district can be considered as members of the House of Commons and qualified to sit in the House of Commons.  The four major non-capital star districts of the empire only have a dozen speakers and several hundred district councilors, accounting for less than half of the seats in the House of Commons.  And most of the remaining seats in the House of Commons are members of the huge capital sector political circle.  Not only is the capital star ten times larger than the Milan star, but even the vast star field of the capital star circle is larger than the total interstellar territory of the other four star areas combined.  You can imagine the complexity and vastness of the capital star circle.  In the capital star with such a majestic atmosphere, the war on the front line is just a topic of interest that people discuss after dinner. It is just the battle news reports transmitted from the big screen in the commercial street, the frustration of the planet's fall and the exciting cheers after the small victory.  On the day they first arrived at Capital Star, Lin Hai, Lin Wei, and the family went to see the family¡¯s settlement address.  The person who came to receive him was Frank, a member of the House of Commons.  Frank ranks in the second tier of the House of Commons.  Even before coming to Capital Star, the Lin family had already collected various intelligence information on this trip from many aspects. The House of Commons has a mysterious and unannounced ranking, which means that the thousands of members of the House of Commons are ranked according to their political influence.  Administrative levels and authority from top to bottom.?? is five levels.  These five levels correspond to the five administrative levels of parliament.  That is, "minister", "shangguan", "participating in politics", "consulting" and "informing knowledge".  This is just a difference in the administrative level of the position held. As a "member of the House of Commons", he has the same voting rights on state affairs.  But the actual power is determined by these administrative levels.  The first level is naturally the highest level, which means that the most powerful figures in the empire are all the highest officials in the cabinet.  They are all energetic sects who can make waves in the empire with just a few gestures.  For such a person, the administrative level is usually "minister".  "The second level has a relatively small impact, but its ability to indirectly affect the empire is not bad. If it wants to stir up trouble, it will be very destructive, and not many people can stand it.  There is even a group of powerful party members on hand for such people. If there is a slight chance, they can replace the superiors in one fell swoop and become the candidate of the first political group in the House of Commons.  The administrative level of such people is usually "Shangguan".  Responsible for the important tasks of some important departments.  And Lin Hai¡¯s family has just reached the fifth level of the House of Commons.  It means that he only has a seat in Congress, but his political energy and influence are completely insignificant.  The positions corresponding to the administrative level of "Informer" are nothing more than district councilors or speaker, or regional governors in the capital star circle.  Some people compare the arm wrestling of the Imperial Congress to the fighting of sharks in the ocean. Low-level members are like soldiers and crab generals following the giant sharks.  If one of the whale sharks he follows declines, the whale shark boss may be bitten hard enough to tear his skin and flesh.  Jumping downstream to hibernate and rest, most of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals will have to be devoured by the victor and cleaned.  Since ancient times, there have been countless lower-level congressmen who have been purged due to changes in high-level trends.  The empire even has a famous saying - "The iron parliament, the running water members." It refers to the cruelty of bloodbath in this fierce struggle.  Frank is the leader of the Linhai family in Congress.  The so-called "picking up people" is just a common name.  In fact, they are the people appointed by the Congress to help settle the new members. It stands to reason that people like Frank belong to the second "Shangguan" group in the Congress and have many gang members. Such matters can be handled by just finding a third- or fourth-level political or council member.  It's okay, but you have to come in person.  Naturally, there is an intention to solicit.  For the recruitment of the new councilor, of course, there is a good opportunity to show the first month of the water tower. If you do not want to make a promise, you can get it.  However, this is also an extremely dangerous moment, which is called climbing backstage.  However, having a background means having enemies that you can confront.  It is easy for high-level officials of Congress to fight against each other and gain and lose power, causing disaster to a whole family of fish.  When the time comes, these big guys can get up on their own and make a comeback, the so-called reshuffle.  But the young congressman cannot afford to play this feng shui game.  Often, once you subvert something, it will cause lifelong harm, so don¡¯t expect your ex-employee, who has too much to take care of himself, to help you out.  Even if a forbearing big man grits his teeth and works hard to gain power again, he may not be able to use you again when you have fallen into the mud.  It would be better to directly recruit more new people who are willing to come over and don't have much ascites to use.  But it¡¯s just such a risky game that can last for thousands of years.  Fortunately, the political circle has developed to this day and is quite mature.  At least the arrival of a character like Frank as an introduction does not necessarily make you brand a faction.  Others may not recognize you as an enemy and flog you.  Generally speaking, no one will push each other too hard.  After all, you are all members of Congress, and you always need to consider your own interests when deciding where to stand.  People will also examine you to see if you are in line with the style and future interests of their respective parties, and whether it is worth recruiting, is another matter later.  The risk of being drawn into a faction is not terrible. The greatest risk is to live alone.  No one can stand alone in Parliament.  Some minor characters who just entered the House of Commons and thought they were jumping up and down would soon disappear.  It¡¯s also possible that someone may be interested in you at first, but then their interest wanes, which means you don¡¯t even have the qualifications to impress others.  When rumors spread, rare talents were snatched up and incompetent people were discarded. It was just a matter of impressions.  And impressions are often the things that delay people the most Some people will rise to the top in one step because of impressions.  Some people will be trapped in the abyss of purgatory.  Frank is friendly and gives the impression of being a good person.  The five arranged Army Air Vehicles carried everyone in the Lin family to an old-looking building on Junzheng Street.  Most of the houses in this administrative area are hundreds of years old, and even the antique wooden floors on the stairs raise a faint dust when you step on them.  The office building where Gunzheng Street is located can be regarded as entering the heart of the capital's politics. From the moment you enter this block, you are blocked by black electronic fences and military police stand guard.  Less than ten minutes' walk from County Hall Street is Downing Street.    The heart of the House of Commons.  Number 10 Downing Street is where the Prime Minister works.  Number 11 is the office of the First Group of the House of Commons at the ministerial level.  Going down in order, the building at No. 12 houses the Prime Minister's Press Office, the Policy Liaison Group and the Information and Research Group.  Secondly, many members of the House of Commons are assigned to the County Government Street office building across the street.  Lin Wei¡¯s office space here is almost 100 square meters, but in addition to wallpaper and basic intelligent systems, the furniture layout also needs to be designed by himself.  For example, you can open up a special office area and meeting place, and you can arrange it however you like.  After all, as a member of the parliament, this is a one-third of an acre of land to enter the capital's politics, with absolute dominance.  Lin Wei looked out through the window and sighed slightly. Whether his family purchased a manor in the capital or Wayne Company built it here, in general, only by owning this acre of land here can he truly have a foothold.  At this moment, the sound of moving things came from the door.  I saw a staff-like figure, leading a few cronies, carrying a vintage piano in.  Frank¡¯s voice, who was introducing the surroundings, disappeared.  When the staff member entered the door, he was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw someone inside, and then frowned, "Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Wei and others were also surprised by this scene, and then quickly packed up.  It looks like the other party moved the items to the wrong office Although he thought so, Lin Wei glanced at Frank inadvertently. At this moment, the "Shangguan" high-ranking congressman was just looking out the window, seemingly turning a blind eye to the scene.  Lin Wei nodded gently and said, "I am Lin Wei, the new Councilor to the House of Commons, Earl of Riverside Star. I have been ordered to take up my post. This office No. 301 is the administrative office location where I received the notification from the Congress.  "The staff member was a little wary at first, but when he heard that he was just a fifth-level counselor at the lowest level of the congress food chain, he seemed to stiffen a lot and said in a calm voice, "What happened to me when?  I don¡¯t knowthat¡¯s because you¡¯re late. Senator Chen has applied for this vacant room as his piano room two days ago. You can go apply for other vacant rooms.¡± Then he instructed the person at the door to move the piano in without any explanation.  Room, "Come, put it this way, be careful." The staff member's tone was calm, but it was this calmness that revealed an awe-inspiring arrogance.  It is the embodiment of a strict top-down system.  He is a confidant of a fourth-level senator in Congress.  Although he does not have the status of a senator, he has always been difficult to deal with. What he can do with the energy of a fourth-level senator is not only the energy of a fifth-level counselor?  Often when you meet a close confidant of a senator or a close confidant involved in politics, even if he is a congressman, you have to be careful and accompany him well.  Not easily offended.  "You should take a look at our documents" Lin Nan on the side handed over the text.  The staff just glanced at it, and then said, "Apply again, I can't control this." Lin Wei said, "Then you should at least show us your usage documents" The staff seemed to finally be a little angry.  , his brows furrowed, "There are more than a thousand houses here, and there are still many vacant ones. Do I have to take those fate books and act with them every time? There are still many rooms, you just need to reapply." Lin Wei  The faces of the family members showed hidden anger and dark expressions.  They had thought of the strict hierarchy in the capital's political circles, but they had not thought that even a staff member around a senator would dare to behave like this to him, a member of the House of Commons.  The reserved office space was occupied as soon as it was said to be occupied.  If word gets out that this happened to Lin Wei on the first day he arrived, in a parliament where everyone is eager to accumulate their own prestige and influence, who will take him seriously?  Isn't it a major setback when we cannot have a deep understanding of him as a person and can only rely on first impressions to understand him as a new congressman?  It's like falling down for the first time on stage. If you want to make up for this loss in the future, you have to work hard several times.  Lin Wei was at a loss as to what to do, but Frank, who was eager to seek justice, only looked out the window and frowned, seemingly not paying attention.  Lin Hai suddenly stood up, stopped Lin Wei who seemed to be about to get angry, and smiled at him, "Sir, it seems we made a mistake. Let's apply again and find another office." Earl, family  Even Lin Wei looked at Lin Hai in disbelief. If it was a misunderstanding, that would be fine. It was clear that the other party could not produce documents and was using power to bully others and would not give in. You must not retreat at this time, otherwise the Lin family's flag will be destroyed.  It's hard to stand up.  Lin Hai actually apologized to the other party?  What's going on? Isn't this a fall from grace?  Little did he know how many people were waiting to see how the Lin family would march into the House of Commons.  I don¡¯t know if this is a test. If I show weakness, how can I survive in the future?  Lin Hai ignored the family members' astonishment. After saying this, making the other party's eyebrows slightly raised, Lin Hai smiled at Frank, who was carrying his back, "Mr. Frank, let's go. It seems that as the host, you can take us here."  Wrong?Where's the room?  " Frank turned around like a whirlwind and looked at Lin Hai. There was a glimmer of light in his eyes, but it was only for a short moment. Then he put on a peaceful smile, turned his head to look at the senator's staff, and said coldly, "County  Although the office resources of Zhengjie Street are abundantbut this is not a reason for you to show off your powerget out.  " Along with Frank's words, several men in black clothes appeared at the door. They grabbed the piano that the staff had moved in, opened the balcony, and smashed it down with a "boom", causing many office windows to open and look at the people.  Looking down, everyone was in awe. They saw that the collection of vintage pianos, which was more expensive than an Army Aviation sports car, had become a pile of broken wood on the ground. The most important thing was that there was an unknown car underneath that was also smashed.  , but at this time, no car owner came out to criticize. The staff member first didn't believe that someone was so arrogant, and his eyes were splitting. After realizing that the person in front of him was not someone he could mess with, he hurriedly ran away and waited for this sudden incident.  After the interlude, Frank reassured everyone a few more words, joking that there are people who use public power for private purposes everywhere, and they must be taught a lesson. After that, he signaled to see Lin Wei until he completed his employment, and said a few gentle words before leaving.  After Frank left, Lin Wei looked at Lin Hai with understanding, "This person is very cunning." Everyone in the Lin family is an old noble. They have been deceived for a while after going through intrigues. It was only then that Lin Nan nodded and figured out the problem.  , "Perhaps it was him who set up a trap. As the "Shang Guan" of the House of Commons, even if he is a staff member with no open eyes, even if he is standing by the window with his back turned, the chance of not being recognized is too small.  And the possibility of us not fighting back after being provoked is too small He seems to be waiting for us to fight back, and then take advantage of the trend. This is equivalent to us borrowing his "power", and it is also equivalent to announcing to the House of Commons that  We are his people." Lin Wei glanced at Lin Hai, "What he didn't expect was that Lin Hai actually chose to retreat, and took the initiative to reveal his identity and throw him out.  He even blamed him for taking him to the wrong room.  If he doesn't have an attack at this time, it will appear to be his problem.  " "However, no matter what, his move more or less achieved the effect he wanted.  At least it can throw out smoke screens and targets. Maybe someone will really regard us as his followers.  It seems that it is really difficult to protect yourself wisely" Lin Wei nodded thoughtfully, "I don't know who Frank's opponent is in the parliament But seeing how he behaves, his opponent will not be a fuel saver.  lights.  We must act more carefully in the future." On this first day, the Lin family truly felt the sharpness and strictness of the capital's star circle political fame and fortune circle. Everyone looked at Lin Hai again. They had almost been deceived by Frank before.  , but only Lin Hai could see through it at a glance. "He could have continued to pretend to be a gentle person, but this mask was broken by you" Lin Wei muttered, "Be careful, he will include you.  The key "care" list.  " Lin Hai raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was in the Young Knights, which was a different system from the Parliament. So no matter what Frank did, he expected that he would not be able to reach out to the Young Knights.
