Supreme
authority
and
legislative
power
is
vested
in
the
Council
.
It
will
rule
.
It
will
also
control
the
armed
forces
.
"
"
Aimed
forces
!
"
I
repeated
blankly
.
"
Certainly
.
The
forces
will
be
raised
,
as
and
when
necessary
,
by
levies
on
what
you
called
the
seigneuries
.
In
return
,
you
will
have
the
right
to
call
on
the
Council
in
cases
of
attack
from
outside
or
unrest
within
.
"
I
was
beginning
to
feel
a
bit
winded
.
"
An
army
!
Surely
a
small
mobile
squad
of
police
—
"
"
I
see
you
haven
’
t
grasped
the
wider
aspect
of
the
situation
,
Mr
.
Masen
.
This
affliction
we
have
had
was
not
confined
to
these
islands
,
you
know
.
It
was
world
-
wide
.
Everywhere
there
is
the
same
sort
of
chaos
—
that
must
be
so
,
or
we
should
have
heard
differently
by
now
—
and
in
every
country
there
are
probably
a
few
survivors
.
Now
it
stands
to
reason
,
doesn
’
t
it
,
that
the
first
country
to
get
on
its
feet
again
and
put
itself
in
order
is
also
going
to
be
the
country
to
have
the
chance
of
bringing
order
elsewhere
?
Do
you
suggest
that
we
should
leave
it
for
some
other
country
to
do
this
,
and
so
make
itself
the
new
dominant
power
in
Europe
—
and
possibly
farther
afield
?
Obviously
not
.
Clearly
,
it
is
our
national
duty
to
get
ourselves
back
on
our
feet
as
soon
as
possible
and
assume
the
dominant
status
,
so
that
we
can
prevent
dangerous
opposition
from
organizing
against
us
.
Therefore
,
the
sooner
we
can
raise
a
force
adequate
to
discourage
any
likely
aggressors
,
the
better
.
"
For
some
moments
silence
lay
on
the
room
.
Then
Dennis
laughed
unnaturally
:
"
Great
God
almighty
!
We
’
ve
lived
through
all
this
-
—
and
now
the
man
proposes
to
start
a
wan
"
Torrence
said
shortly
:
"
I
don
’
t
seem
to
have
made
myself
clear
.
The
word
‘
war
’
is
an
unjustifiable
exaggeration
.
It
will
be
simply
a
matter
of
pacifying
and
administering
tribes
that
have
reverted
to
primitive
lawlessness
.
