“Haha – why have you quieted down? Keep talking, weren’t you talking very enthusiastically just now? Why have you shut your mouth now?”

Sankara had a gloomy face, and said with a sarcasm and a sneer:

“Last year, the country produced 1.2 million tons of grain, which makes you very proud, right?”

“Snapped–”

There was a loud noise that scared everyone in the conference hall to tremble. Sankara slapped his right hand heavily on the table, and then continued:

“I’m giving you a salary increase in the hope that you can perform your duties well and better provide help and services to the people.

The results of it? I won’t say anything about the Ministry of National Defense, but you middle-level and senior-level officials in the Ministry of Agriculture don’t even know how much food is needed to feed the people of the country! I don’t even know how much cultivated land there is in the country!

Is it because I was too nice to you after I came to power and made you think that I, Sankara, was easy to bully? Do you want to wait until I put the knife on your neck?

Do you know what a good job is? Do you know that tens of millions of people across the country are hungry every day? Do you know that the annual output of 1.2 million tons cannot feed the more than 22 million people in the country? ”

“I’m sorry, President!”

Amélie quickly stood up and bowed her head to apologize.

“I’m sorry, President!”

Other officials want to follow suit, including officers in the Defense Department.

But perhaps only they and God know how many of them sincerely say I’m sorry.

Uh…well, maybe Sankara.

Although he didn’t know how much of it was sincere, he knew how much was not sincere.

For example, for those officials whose loyalty has dropped below 50, Sankara will never believe a word that comes out of these officials’ mouths.

“Excuse me, President?”

Sankara asked rhetorically:

“Are you sorry for me? What you should be sorry for is the more than 10 million people who are suffering from hunger. It is them who you are really sorry for!

Also, is there any use in saying sorry? Can saying sorry save the lives of people who have starved to death? ”

“call–”

Sankara exhaled the turbid air that had been suppressed in his chest, adjusted his emotions, waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and continued softly:

“Everyone, please sit down! Actually… the person who should be most sorry should be me. I know that the food problem is very serious, but after I came to power, I still focused on other things.

If I could have paid attention to it earlier, I might have been able to solve the food problem in a shorter time, save the people of our country from starving for one day, and save a few people, even one person, from starving to death while solving the problem. That’s fine!

Therefore, in fact, the one who should really say sorry to the people should be me as the president! The person who has the main responsibility should also be me! ”

Hearing what Sankara said, the officers of the Ministry of National Defense, who were direct descendants and had a loyalty level of over 80, couldn’t sit still. They stood up one after another and said:

“How can I blame you, President? You have only been in office for less than a month!”

“This is obviously the mess left by the previous presidents. No matter how much we count it, it can’t be blamed on you, right?”

“That’s right, you don’t need to apologize for a problem that doesn’t belong to you!”

They all expressed their incomprehension about Sankara’s apology just now.

“Everyone, sit down!”

Sankara yelled.

“…”

The increasingly noisy conference hall suddenly became quiet again.

The officers of the Ministry of National Defense felt like they had something stuck in their throats and their faces were red from suppressing it. However, they kept their mouths open for a long time, and finally they could only sit back in their seats honestly under Sankara’s eyes.

“???”

“!!!”

Seeing this scene, some officials from the Ministry of Agriculture were very shocked and surprised.

“Do these officers from the Ministry of National Defense actually defend the new president like this?”

“Hiss… Is Sankara’s prestige in the military so high? Are you yelling back at him with just one sentence?”

“It’s a bit outrageous! I have seen similar scenes when the previous presidents were here, but it is impossible for them to have such high prestige!”

The minds of these officials became active again.

In Sankara’s view, some of the officials whose loyalty had declined had become even lower., and the other part is back to above 60, or even above 70.

Sankara’s self-examination remarks just now touched only a small number of officials. Although only a small number, it was an unexpected surprise for Sankara.

That is the loyalty of these officials who were touched in their hearts. Their loyalty to Sankara went from around 70 to over 80, and several even reached 90!

Among them is Amélie, who is the Minister of Agriculture. Her loyalty to Sankara has skyrocketed from 76 to 90, to the point where it can be said that she is loyal to death, just like Mayev and others.

“I don’t care what happened in the past or what problems there were, I only know that it is me, Sankara, who is sitting in the position of president, not anyone else!

So as long as any problems occur in the Republic of Burkina, the first person responsible is me. It is pale and useless to explain these problems with any reason! ”

Sankara took a breath and continued:

“So, since I am the first person responsible, it is necessary to find a way to solve the food problem that has arisen in our country and shoulder this responsibility.

I thought about it all night last night and managed to come up with a few ideas that seemed to me to be reasonable. I will tell you about them.

If you have any opinions later, you can also put them forward. One person’s idea is imperfect and biased, and the solution that everyone comes up with together will be the most suitable for our Republic of Buginia! ”

Sankara took a sip of tea and continued:

“The first thing is that there is enough arable land, but what if the grain production is not enough? This problem is actually very simple. The most straightforward solution is to expand the grain planting area.”

“Then how to expand the area of ​​food cultivation?”

“The solution I came up with is to nationalize all the cultivated land in the country, and then distribute the cultivated land to all farmers as reasonably as possible based on the actual situation.”

“???”

Before he finished speaking, the entire conference hall was in an uproar.

Even though they were somewhat mentally prepared for this, the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture were still stunned when Sankara said these words, especially the phrase “all nationalized”.

Even the officers of the Ministry of National Defense felt that Sankara’s method was a bit too… uh… extreme?

“President, I think your method is a bit too… advanced? It may not be very suitable for the current situation in our country.”

Amélie stood up first. Halfway through her words, she hesitated, used a word that she thought was barely appropriate, and then continued:

“The bottom line is that our country is still at war and what if…”

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by another person. A middle-aged official stood up and said to Sankara with excitement and admiration:

“I firmly support the president’s idea. I believe that only the president’s idea can solve the serious food shortage problem in our country in the shortest possible time.”

Sankara looked at the middle-aged official with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
