"This concludes all the expenditures of France for the fiscal year 1849-1850!"
Prime Minister Opler, with a calm tone, reported all the expenditures and then stood at the podium in a standard military posture, waiting for the Republican Faction members to question the parliamentary expenditures.
Below the stage, "Social Democratic Faction" members whispered to each other, and the once silent Legislative Assembly became noisy again.
Standing on the stage, Opler looked down at the "Social Democratic Faction" members with a complex expression. Having served as Prime Minister for almost a year, he had not truly faced the national assembly. This was his first battle, and it would also be his last; he had to bring his term as Prime Minister to a satisfactory end.
However, the "Social Democratic Faction" members below did not seem eager to rush and question Opler until Speaker Du Ban struck his gavel and cleared his throat to remind, "Gentlemen, please keep track of the time!"
