Among the officials and generals present, some were from the old ministry of Aruga, and some were chiefs of other tribes in the past.
It was because Fan Jianming supported Aruga that they united with the Aruga tribe. Until now, many people did not fear Aruga, but only admired and feared Fan Jianming.
They didn't support Aruga and Audrey's marriage, but they didn't want to say it, because they all knew that the final attitude depended on Fan Jianming. If Fan Jianming supported Aruga, what they said would be for nothing.
A general asked, "Is General Fan clear about this? What is his opinion?"
Aruga was displeased: "I am the highest official of Country S. You are all important members of Country S. I am now seeking your opinions. It does not matter whether General Fan agrees or not!"
The people present looked at each other.
A few meanings, what happened to Aruga today?
Fan Jianming always has the final say on the major and minor matters of our country S?
They didn't know, it was because of this situation that Aruga became more and more uncomfortable.
Although he is today, relying solely on Fan Jianming’s original support, he does not want to be a puppet forever, especially on the eve of reaching an agreement with the West and preparing for the establishment of diplomatic relations. He wants to let the world know that in country S, he is the highest. Sir.
He has the final say about everything in country S!
Aruga now wants to use her marriage with Audrey to test the officials and generals under her. Once she and Fan Jianming have different opinions, who will these people stand on?
At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to test his weight in the hearts of officials and generals.
After seeing everyone's expressions, Aruga suddenly felt that he was a bit too rude? Will it make everyone present feel that there is a rift between themselves and Fan Jianming?
He immediately explained: "General Fan did not join our nationality after all, and he does not believe in our religion. Regarding my personal marriage, I don't think it is necessary to seek his opinion."
"Plus he has a lot of business, so he won't let him participate in this matter."
Hearing what he said, a general said: "Your Excellency, according to our
In the religion you believe in, people of your own ethnic group cannot intermarry with foreigners, not to mention that you are the highest official and the other party is a Western white woman and a pagan. "
"If you just keep a secret relationship with her, I don't think the problem is big, but if you want her to be your own wife, I'm afraid you still have to be more cautious."
Aruga said: "In the past, our tribes did have this unwritten rule. The problem is that we are now a country, and our country has not promulgated relevant marriage laws."
"I think the rules established by the tribe in the past should not be a constraint on the people today. Moreover, there was a rule in the past that if someone in the tribe intermarries with a foreigner, it is fine as long as the chief permits it."
"Even if it is done in accordance with the conventions of the tribe, as the highest official of the S country, I should and have the right to allow every citizen to marry a foreigner, including myself."
Aruga felt that he had gained a firm foothold and did not need Fan Jianming's continued support, but he did not know that many of the former chiefs in the room had never put him in the eyes.
Seeing that he insisted on marrying Audrey and discussing the matter with Fan Jianming, many people realized that Aruga must have approached Fan Jianming before, and Fan Jianming did not agree.
Otherwise, Arugal would never discuss this matter with everyone before the meeting.
There is not a fool present here. It is clear in my heart that Aruga wants to use everyone's strength to fight Fan Jianming, at least on this marriage issue, Aruga does not want to compromise.
Another general said: "I think what your Excellency said is quite right. As the highest official of country s, he has full rights and should break some bad habits. Isn't it just marrying a white woman? I don't think there is any problem!"
Aruga was a little surprised.
Before Fan Jianming started, the general was the chief of another tribe and had always been at friction with Aruga's tribe.
Before Aruga talked about it today, what worried him most was that he would oppose it. Unexpectedly, he was the first to stand up for it, and she couldn't help but glance at him with gratitude.
Aruga didn’t know, the general was a weasel to the chicken.
Happy New Year without a good heart.
Like the other chiefs, he was completely dissatisfied with Arugal, only fearing Fan Jianming.
Now seeing that there is a rift between Aruga and Fan Jianming, he just happened to push the boat along the way and urge Aruga to go against Fan Jianming.
As long as Fan Jianming no longer supports Arugal, or even breaks with Arugal, he has a chance.
Aruga turned to other people and asked, "What's your opinion?"
Most people agreed with the first general’s opinion, but when the second general said that, Aruga was very excited again. Everyone agreed with the second general. Views.
"I don't think this is a problem. As the chief executive, you have the right to enact and promulgate new laws to change people's views on marriage."
"Yes, at present on our African continent, most countries allow intermarriage with foreigners, even country W, only country N. Since we plan to go out, we are even preparing to establish diplomatic relations with the West, the East, and another big country. Intermarriage among the people will also be normal at that time."
"Yes, your Excellency makes a good start. It will be of great benefit to the future development of our country."
The first general to speak was originally the executive officer of the Aruga tribe. In fact, he knew very well that many of the original tribal chiefs here were acting against Aruga.
Aruga now wants to use her marriage to destroy the traditions of country s, especially if it conflicts with traditional religions. She thought that everyone would agree with her.
Unexpectedly, the outcome of the matter was unexpected. Everyone except him supported this kind of marriage, so he had to sigh.
"Your Excellency," he said again: "There is no rule to make a circle. Now we are a country. If you insist on marrying Mrs. Audrey, I suggest that we first legislate."
Aruga said: "Very well, then you will draft this law, and it will be promulgated in two days. I hope to have a wedding with Mrs. Audrey within a week."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Jianming rushed in and walked in and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry! Supreme Commander, officials and generals, I'm late."
