Citizens of the Republic, as your Prime Minister I have introduced to Parliament the Republic Defence Force Act. This bill will establish a national armed forces, for the protection of the people of the Republic. The bill is below:
"The Prime Minister shall on behalf of the Federal Government establish, command, and maintain a national armed forces to defend, maintain, and secure the safety of the citizens of the Republic."
There are some executives in this nation - even from my own party - who strongly oppose having a Republic Defence Force. Why is this so?
Is it, perhaps, because they like wearing military attire? Is it, perhaps, because they do not respect the authority of Parliament, the Great Forum of universal political representation?
Maybe those executives would rather their province was not a part of the Republic at all? If so, they have every right to hold a referendum and leave.
However.
If those people want their province to enjoy the benefits of being in a federation such as ours - not a confederation, not a unitary state - they must respect the will of the people, expressed through Parliament, and respect the Federal Government's constitutional responsibility to provide for the defence of the Republic.
There is no need for provincial militaries. How can we call ourselves a federation if we are constantly on the brink of internal war? At most, the provinces should have provincial guards (militias reserved for states of emergency).
In the end, the constitutional convention widely agreed that it was in the Federal Government's power to maintain a military, and it was in the provinces' powers to maintain Provincial Guards.
A final message to the wannabe military generals - stop. Tens of millions have died from this militarism, and we cannot keep the nation together in this state.
I remember in Rising Storm a senator was pushing for this RDFP, and Chancellor Soh was shooting him down.
I kinda agree with his points, and I’m wondering what happened to the bill. What story does it get resolved in?
Arms manufacturers and paramilitaries DM me to express your interest.
I am a proud man on this day, having seen the results of the hard work myself and my fellow Patriots have done to get the Republic Defence Force Act passed.
With this authority, enshrined in the Constitution and granted by Parliament to the Federal Government, I hereby announce the creation of the Republic Defence Force (RDF).
It will comprise of the:
-
Republic Army (RA)
-
Republic Navy (RN)
-
Republic Airforce (RAF)
-
Republic Space Force (RSF)
-
Republic Cyberforce (RCF)
The Defence Minister is u/Ben_mgsp and he will in turn report to the Prime Minister.
Long Live the Republic!
