Chapter 1474: Chapter 1472: Who Are You Like?

"Recently, you need to keep a low profile."

In the room, the chairman of the People’s Assistance Party committee and the President were chatting, and the conversation gradually turned to the current dissatisfaction within the Lemar Islands towards the President.

From a certain perspective, what the media and the Autonomous Party people are saying is actually not incorrect, and indeed it’s due to the Grand President’s mistaken decisions that a series of subsequent events occurred.

But from another viewpoint, the Grand President isn’t wrong either. If one doesn’t show their stance on such major issues concerning territorial security, the Federation won’t proactively consider the Lemar people’s needs.

Although the Grand President’s actions have led to some unfriendly subsequent issues, at the same time, they have at least resolved a portion of the problems.

For instance, the Federation and Peng Jieao people have recently ceased contacting him, interfering with his ideas, as if everything has returned to how it was before.

Except for the rapid economic downturn.

But if economic downturn can be exchanged for stable security, the Grand President thinks it’s still worthwhile.

Before humans could easily cross oceans, Lemar was always in a state of "solitude."

At that time, in the eyes of the Lemar people, the Lemar Islands were the entire world!

Without external contacts, they could live well on their own, except for the difficult winters, and during other times, fishing could meet their basic survival needs.

The People’s Assistance Party chairman’s words brought the Grand President back to his senses; he nodded, "I will pay attention."

His words were unfinished, leaving an echo, making others realize he had more to say.

Sure enough, after waiting three, four, or five seconds, he continued, "I’m considering completely cutting off contact with the outside world, at least until the end of this world war."

"Just as this retreat of international capital gives us the possibility to implement this idea, what do you all think?"

Cutting off contact with the outside world means completely severing communication and connections, and from policy implementation onwards, receiving no information from outside and allowing no one to land on the Lemar Islands.

Establishing windowless city walls from the perspective of future generations does seem very foolish.

But looking at the current international societal trends, it’s not so foolish.

We are completely not participating in the world’s process, and everything is irrelevant to us!

It might be one of the few ways for a weak nation to preserve its strength against the current tide of the times; after all, no one should make moves against such a totally submissive country.

Moreover, this situation is different from isolationism; it’s not neutrality, but cutting off completely from the world.

The People’s Assistance Party chairman paused for a moment, and the next second thought of the money in his overseas bank accounts, then chuckled, "It’s impossible, at least not now."

His brain quickly found a fitting reason, "That Federation merchant is heavily investing, and if we do this, it may very likely trigger a second uncontrollable consequence for us!"

Lemar needs foreign capital to help revive the local economic market, and this cannot progress without Lynch bringing large sums of money.

Refusing investment from foreigners like Lynch, the closed policy isn’t feasible.

The Grand President understood this point, knowing that when he said these words, it wasn’t possible, just a bit emotional.

The topic quickly returned to the current mainstream social ideology, dissatisfaction with the Grand President naturally also led to dissatisfaction with the People’s Assistance Party.

Facing such a situation, the People’s Assistance Party indeed doesn’t have a very good way.

If you argue with those opinions, debate, it will lead to bigger unpredictable consequences; rather, after simply explaining the situation, handle it low-key for a while.

When the emotions concentrated in this period are over and people return to reason, they will know who truly cares for them.

People will always have many simple yet foolish, yet quite beautiful ideas.

It’s like those seniors in high school busy exploring the mysteries of human anatomy and New World with their boyfriends or girlfriends, some naively believe they will find a good job after leaving school.

At the very least, earning four or five hundred bucks a month, and after working hard for a few years, the salary will be higher, then save up money to buy a house in a middle-class community, marry a woman of the same class, and create a family together.

But most high school graduates ultimately face reality.

Boys go to factories for the most exhausting and dirty work, working for ten or eleven or twelve hours a day, then getting around three hundred bucks a month.

After subtracting various expenses, only about a hundred bucks remain, and if slightly extravagant, it might not last until the end of the month.

Walking half a lifetime, they realize the dream is increasingly distant, that they’ve been treading in place for half their life, and all beautiful pursuits for the future are just methods of escaping their inability to change reality.

At midnight, lying on the bed or sofa, a half-tear hangs from the corner of one’s eye, remembering once themselves and their dreams.

Girls often marry a man they’ve perhaps never even seen for a stable life; he may be older and not as interesting or humorous as her high school boyfriend.

But this man can provide the stability she desires, and what she needs to do is marry him, have children, and live her life, just like her parents.

Rebellion, discontent with reality, in the face of truly harsh reality, girls’ pride is worth nothing; no matter how they struggle, most ultimately return here.

Allowing a man equally devoid of sensitivity, only seeking a good-looking body to fulfill his physiological desires, to roam on her.

Having children, spending days in the kitchen and family chores...

People will always have such simple yet heartbreaking and foolish "terrifying" ideas.

At this moment, the people of Lemar will give the dreaming President a slap from "reality!"

In early May, the Lemar Parliament was suddenly initiated by the Autonomous Party with an impeachment motion against the Grand President, a sudden political event that immediately attracted attention from the Lemar Islands and even worldwide.

During this increasingly tense atmosphere, the Lemar Islands have almost been seen as a rehearsal before war breaks out.

Every competent politician believes the Federation and Peng Jieao are still at odds!

Just their confrontation now is invisible!

Up until now, the Grand President hasn’t realized that his silence and the People’s Assistance Party’s low response have not brought about the return of reason they hoped for but instead intensified the downfall turmoil!

Silence doesn’t necessarily make people think you have reason, only that you have nothing to say.

In this world advocating expressing oneself, silence is the most foolish method, even in court.

The lawyer you hire is more adept at using the art of language to guide the judge and jury, even if you’re guilty, you can be judged innocent.

But if you don’t advocate for your point of view, your ideas, your stance, everything about you, even if you’re actually not guilty, the court can still send you to jail.

This isn’t a good choice for a low response, even though from the People’s Assistance Party’s perspective, arguing with the emotionally explosive masses isn’t a smart decision.

But now, silence doesn’t seem like a smart decision either, especially as there’s support behind everything!

The day the Autonomous Party initiated the impeachment motion in Parliament, it was accepted, but such cases aren’t concluded in a day, they need time.

Investigation, evidence gathering, voting, none of these are done in three or five days, so there were no results on that day.

Upon learning of this news, the President was stunned; he might be the first President in Lemar history to be impeached!

Before forming a republic, Lemar’s societal structure was primitive, resembling a large tribe, humans scattered across different islands, spontaneously forming tribes.

Later, these tribes unified after wars and contact, adopting the world’s mainstream political system.

This ensured the Grand Presidents of Lemar were chosen by the people, given that here, they play presidential direct elections.

This also meant people had high tolerance for the President; even when he made mistakes, considerable patience was granted, so until now, no one has been impeached.

This law was akin to a supplement, not truly intended for use.

But once it’s used, the Grand President finds everything suddenly bleak!

Undoubtedly, no matter the outcome, he will surely leave a rather unpleasant page in Lemar’s history as the first impeached President, definitely a disgrace.

The People’s Assistance Party chairman promptly called the Grand President, explaining that the proposal in Parliament wouldn’t pass; the People’s Assistance Party holds the advantage in seats, and they can recruit more people to their side, ensuring the impeachment will be rejected.

You know it as one thing; emotions are another.

After thanking the People’s Assistance Party chairman, the Grand President decided to leave work early and go home; he needed to sort out his emotions.

After dinner, just as he was about to rest, the phone suddenly rang.

After comforting his wife, he draped his coat and went into the study and answered the call.

"Mr. President, all of this is the Federation’s conspiracy!"

An unfamiliar voice transmitted through, and the Grand President slightly frowned, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about!"

His reply was conservative, but the person on the other end of the call didn’t give him an opportunity to remain conservative.

"The Federation is controlling the Autonomous Party to launch an attack on you; once you’re impeached, the Autonomous Party will come to power, they will align with the Federation, destroying Lemar’s peace..."

The Grand President’s frown deepened, "Who are you?"
