Eventually, Fern Hansa managed to find four MPs to petition Parliament to revoke the status of Bloemfontein and Cape Town, bypassing Barker.

On February 1, the National Assembly held a public debate on the bill.

"Three capitals in one country, this is ridiculous, the last country to do this was the Ottoman Empire, which has already fallen, the Ottoman Empire is still a dual system, there are only two capitals, we have three, three-legged? Therefore, we must change the status quo, when the three capitals were determined, there were special historical conditions at that time, and the current situation is completely different from the beginning, and the authority of the federal government is unshakable, so it is imperative to cancel the status of Bloemfontein and Cape Town as capitals! With the gradual popularity of Han culture, the parliamentarians of southern Africa are more and more aware of the allusions to Chinese history.

As Fern Hansa's speech ended, the parliamentary hall burst into warm applause, and it seemed that Fern Hansa's proposal had indeed won the approval of the majority of parliamentarians.

Of course, there was certainly booing, but it was mostly concentrated in the areas where the Orange and Cape MPs were located, and the opposition was clearly isolated compared to the enthusiastic applause.

Fern Hansa didn't care about the sporadic boos, and left the podium with a gentlemanly bow that matched the reserved smile on his face.

Buck was not in a hurry, and waited for the applause to fade before striking the gavel in his hand.

"Is anyone against it?" Buck is routine, and opponents don't have to ask.

"I'm against it!"

"That's nonsense!"

"This is a gross disrespect to Bloemfontein and Cape Town—"

There were still many voices of opposition, and more than a dozen congressmen raised their hands at the same time to ask for a speech.

"Shut up, you're not in a position to object—"

"Do you still have the face to object? See what you've done over the years? ”

"Forget about Cape Town, what qualifies Bloemfontein to be the legislative capital?"

Not to be outdone, the supporting parliamentarians focused on Bloemfontein, which was originally made the legislative capital to appease the Boers, but now that the Boers have largely digested it, Bloemfontein has lost its qualifications as the capital.

At least on the surface.

"Bloemfontein's status as the legislative capital is a decision of the Federal Government and is as immutable as the Constitution—"

"Nonsense, the constitution can also be amended-"

The congressmen quarreled, in fact, not much stronger than the vegetable market aunt, sometimes even more than the vegetable market aunt, at least the vegetable market aunt only quarreled and did not move, and several congressmen with fierce attitudes have begun to roll up their arms and sleeves, ready to convince people with "reason".

The truth is only within the range of artillery.

"Quiet, please be quiet—" Buck hadn't yet built up enough prestige, and the sound of the gavel had little effect.

Then Buck took a deep breath, his face sank like water, his palms were raised high, his big arm led his small arm, and he slammed it on the table: "Shut up!" ”

Heck, is it really good to be so rude in such a solemn occasion as Congress.

It doesn't matter if it's a gaffe or not, the effect is still there.

Buck can become the speaker, not all rely on Roque's support, at least the members of Congress in the three northern states still have to give face.

Then the situation is effectively controlled.

Yes, the most in favor are the legislators of the three northern states, and the opposition is the parliamentarians of Cape and Orange, and the other states such as Bechuana, Lorenzo Marques, Basutoland, and Eswatini have almost no presence, and they usually do not express their opinions.

Of course, there are still the most basic positions, and most of the time, the parliamentarians of Bechuaner and Lorenço Marques will take the same position with the three northern states.

Parliamentarians from Basutoland and Eswatini wavered in their positions.

This situation is likely to change in the coming years, and now that the population of Basutoland and Eswatini is predominantly Chinese, it will not be long before the number of Chinese parliamentarians increases significantly.

"Councillor Jameson, the rest of the time is yours—" Buck waited a full ten seconds before calling a roll call for Dr. Starr Jameson of Cape.

Dr. Starr Jameson is definitely a legend in southern Africa, it was rumored twenty years ago that Dr. Starr Jameson was terminally ill, but he is still not dead, and last year he wanted to compete with Philip for prime minister, this guy is estimated to have nine lives.

"The dualism of the Ottoman Empire was two capitals, two governments, and even two systems, which is different from our situation, although we have three capitals, but they are all under the leadership of the federal government, and the chaos of the Ottoman Empire does not happen in our southern Africa-" Dr. Starr Jameson first refuted the dualism of Fern Hansea, and then began his speech: "—When the federal government was formed, there were indeed special reasons for establishing Bloemfontein and Cape Town and Pretoria as capitals, But it's not like the Hanseatic MP said, and now that the situation has changed – Bloemfontein and Cape Town, as legislative and judicial capitals respectively, have played an important role over the years, our laws are improving, our judiciary is fair and impartial, and southern Africa is thriving – is it really necessary to change the current situation? Removing Bloemfontein and Cape Town from capital status is simple, but what the consequences will be if we do so is something that we have to consider. ”

Dr. Starr Jameson will always be that sickly, very deceptive.

When he spoke, he was also intermittent, his movements trembled, and he felt that he would have to take oxygen in the next moment.

However, as a veteran politician in southern Africa, Dr. Starr Jameson still carries a lot of weight, and he is right that the removal of Bloemfontein and Cape Town as capitals could provoke serious resentment in the states of Orange and Cape, and that something could not be said to be.

If this affects the development of southern Africa, whether it is worth it is a question worth considering.

As Dr. Starr Jameson's remarks ended, there was a brief silence in the council hall.

Then there was a constant buzz of noise, with members of Congress arguing in favor, against, neutral, and fanning the flames.

"The fact that the existence of three capitals has had a huge impact on the efficiency of the federal government, Bloemfontein makes the law, Pretoria enforces it, and finally the trial in Cape Town. We can't just let this happen because we're worried about the consequences, and I admit that it does and will always exist, so what are we prepared to do? Whether to put up with waste of time and money forever, and low efficiency, or to take a certain risk and solve the problem forever - I don't think it needs to be considered. "Fern Hansa is also well prepared.

Fern Hansa is right when he says that there is danger, but just because there is a danger does not mean that nothing can be done.

"Councillor Fern Hansea, I have to remind you that whatever decision we make, we need to think carefully about every possibility that will arise, and not act recklessly without thinking-" Buck's position is clear, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility, and the phrase "no need to think about it" is irresponsible.

Even if something is right, it needs to be fully demonstrated, and then the most appropriate solution can be found.

Maybe it doesn't have to be the most suitable, it's relatively suitable.

But in any case, you can't pat your head to decide.

"Your Excellency, the bill proposed by the five members of the National Assembly is definitely not a wanton act without thinking, but a joint decision after careful consideration." Fern Hansa is still a gentleman, and whether this bill passes or not, Fern Hansa has already made a name for himself.

Buck didn't engage in these verbal battles, saw that the heat was almost there, and then began to vote.

Raise your hand if you agree with the motion, and raise your hand if you disagree or are neutral, and if two-thirds of the members agree, the motion will be passed.

Fern Hansa was the first to raise his hand.

Then the atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

In the entire council hall, hundreds of congressmen, for a full ten seconds, there was no second person who raised his hand.

Fern Hansa's expression was like a ghost.

His proposal was able to bypass Buck and was co-signed by the other four legislators, so even if the other legislators didn't approve of it, the co-signed congressmen should always approve of it.

But now, the other four co-signed lawmakers did not raise their hands.

Fern Hansa looked at a familiar councillor who had also signed the proposal.

The parliamentarian's gaze was evasive, not daring to look into the gaze of Fern Hansa.

Fern Hansa looked at another member of parliament who had also signed his name.

This time it was a good one, and the councillor, also from the Transvaal, reluctantly raised his hand under the angry and expectant gaze of Fern Hansea.

Then, as if an appointment had been made, another member of parliament finally raised his hand in favor, but it was sparse like a seedling in a natural disaster.

There is no need to count, obviously less than two-thirds, not even one-third.

Buck was still expressionless, but his frown was quietly stretched.

Sure enough, Congress was never the Congress of the Speaker, but the Congress of some Marquis who had never been to the halls of Parliament.

What is this?

You are not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes have your legends!

"There weren't enough people in favor of it, and the bill didn't pass." Buck finally banged on the gavel in his hand.

The council hall erupted in whistles and applause.

From those legislators from Orange and Cape.

The other parliamentarians looked at the applauding and whistling parliamentarians with the eyes of fools.

The bill didn't pass, and it doesn't have anything to do with these people, if this Nima hadn't been greeted by someone, you guys would have been mourning now.
