Looking at the demonstrators on TV, His Majesty the Emperor, who had just come to power, had a somewhat cold expression.

Many people say that he became Emperor Pengeo after licking the federal president's buttocks.

Because his attitude towards the Federation was too "friendly", His Majesty the new Emperor even issued a temporary decree prohibiting the use of humiliating methods such as burning and graffiti in public to treat the Federation's flag and presidential portraits.

After the defeat of the war, many people burned the Confederate flag in public places to vent their emotions, and graffitied Mr. Trueman's image as a clown or dictator and spread it everywhere.

In fact, these actions will not have any direct negative impact on the Federation and its people.

But it can greatly release Peng Jieao's suppressed emotions due to the failure of the war!

But even such small things that don't seem to have any impact on the world structure are banned.

That's not all that's prohibited. For example, His Majesty the Emperor forbids people from surrounding the Federals, or from abusing or attacking the Federals.

Those who harm federal people or rob federal people's property will be severely punished.

This also made many people in Pengeo think that he was not a competent emperor.

Some people even described him as "the most spineless emperor in thousands of years", and "Skeleton Man" also became his nickname among people!

In fact, only Peng Jie'ao's new ruling class understands that all this is for the sake of stability.

Stability is so important for a weak country!

Although the ministers were unwilling to admit that Pengeo was a "weak" country at this time, they had to admit it!

The Federation people are bad and insidious.

This is completely different from their past international image. Everyone has been deceived by them!

Now the Pengeo Empire is facing several big troubles.

First of all, the subordinate countries began to gradually break away from the political alliance. In other words, the former followers had begun to give up following the Pengeo Empire.

Pengeo's rapid development in recent years has largely benefited from the practice of sucking blood from these subordinate countries.

The subordinate country sells a large amount of materials to Penjiao at cost price every year, and then domestic merchants and nobles process them into goods and then sell the goods back in multiples.

They use various means to suck blood from these subordinate countries to strengthen themselves.

There was no problem with this approach in the past, because the empire's authority could not be challenged.

No one is willing to try and accept the bitter consequences of defying the glory of the empire. Destruction of the country is not a joke.

The ruling class will be reduced to the inhabitants of a zoo, and the majority of the people will be reduced to semi-slave laborers. No one is willing to do this and can only let them suck blood.

But now, Pengeo has lost, they are not invincible, and the Federation is trying to intervene diplomatically in this land.

Some countries have broken away from the political alliance, and the Pengeo Empire's authority and status in the Eastern Continent are accepting new challenges!

If these external problems are already serious, then what is even more serious are the internal problems.

With the support of the Federals, many survivors began to advocate political independence after the war.

These ruling classes who were conquered by Pengeo want to restore their country!

Moreover, the Federation is very supportive of their actions, which makes them even more unscrupulous in talking about the issue of national restoration on various occasions!

The Pengeos once again began to suffer the consequences of their previous foolishness, if they destroyed these rulers instead of raising them to prove the majesty of the empire from the side.

Now, there won't be so many things!

Political independence, then regional independence, military independence.

In the end it was a complete split!

It is facing a terrible future of fragmentation. The ruling class of the empire is negotiating terms with various survivors, hoping that they will not destroy the current situation.

To this end, the imperial royal family is willing to cede some power to these survivors, such as recognizing their rule over certain areas and giving them corresponding political power.

This is actually a kind of "enfeoffment", and they must be highly unified politically with the politics of the empire.

Many survivors are actually willing to accept such conditions, because for some of them, they have already integrated into Pengeo's privileged class.

Even if you give them a few cities now and let them become emperors, kings, etc., they may not be able to do well.

Even if you do well, you don't know how long you can last, after all, Peng Jie'ao is by your side.

But there are still some people who have not been destroyed for a long time and still have some hatred for Peng Jieao, but they insist on restoring the country!

If this is enough to make people anxious, then the emergence of radical reformers has given the current empire's ruling class even more headaches.

This group includes everyone from nobles to commoners, and their size is still growing!

They believe that the Federation's social system is the best in the world. If the Pengeo Empire wants to catch up with the Federation, it must abandon its current social system.

They want to completely break the royal family's rule from the root!

Just look at Gaevra and you will know that Her Majesty the Queen is a puppet and her power is completely in the hands of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

This is what the ruling class least wants to see. They are unwilling to let the civilians determine their own rights.

Coupled with famine and so on, Pengeo now faces too many problems, too big, and it has reached a moment when some kind of decision must be made!

In fact, some of the views of the radical reformers are correct, that is, if they do not change, the empire will perish!

But how to change it is a question!

"We must not do what they say. Power is a sacred thing and should not be placed in the hands of these people. This will cause the entire country to be in chaos."

His Majesty the Emperor ate the fresh fruits imported from Nagaril and looked at the other ministers in the room. "We had a pretty good time talking to the Federation this time. Their delegation will come over soon to help us complete this task." Painful stage.”

"If the short-term pain can give this country a new life, then I think it is all worth it!"

The ministers remained silent, which was actually the result of everyone's discussion.

Aren’t those radical reformers outside saying that if they don’t reform, they will overthrow the “rotten” rule of the royal family?

Okay, great, then now the royal family will take the initiative to bring the federal people over and let what they consider the "great federation" carry out reforms.

No matter what the outcome of the reform is, they can find no other reason to continue making trouble.

Moreover, not to mention the sluggish domestic market in Pengjiao, many companies belonging to the imperial family or nobles are almost unable to operate.

Nearly a hundred large companies went bankrupt last year, and millions of workers lost their jobs!

If the market is not revitalized and radical reformers are not used, these unemployed people will be the first to stand up brandishing weapons!

So from many aspects, some seemingly unrealistic contents in the talks between the Pengeo Empire and the Federation are exactly what both sides need most now!

The federation needs to have some control over Pengeo, and Pengeo needs the federation to help them get out of their current predicament.

As His Majesty the Emperor said, temporary pain is always temporary.

Once the pain passes, everything will feel better.

"What about those...opposition parties?" A minister asked a new question.

Behind these opposition forces are actually the support of the federal people. They are active in various regions with the slogan "Overthrow the brutal royal rule and save the tens of thousands of people in Pengeo".

The positions of the rulers in some areas have become somewhat vacillating, which is also dangerous.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't even think about it. He waved his hand and said as if he was slashing, "Kill. If you kill them all, there will be no problem."

These fleas made him very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Soon everyone was discussing how to "cooperate" with the federal people's work next.

"If we fully liberalize the market without any reservations, we are likely to face some new challenges like some countries and regions in the southern continent."

"Should we hold back on this issue?"

Pengeo is responsible for economic development as the Minister of Economy, Industry and Development, which is a bit difficult to pronounce. He is generally referred to as the "Minister of Economy" or "Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry" in local newspapers.

The question he mentioned is indeed worth thinking about. Many countries and regions in the Southern Continent have fully liberalized their markets to the Federation, but what is the result?

Some regions and countries have already completed or already have a certain industrial base.

But with the dumping of federal goods, their industrial efforts were completely ruined!

Because if we continue to develop industrial construction, not only will we not make money, we will also suffer huge losses!

The simplest example is that when industrial construction was developed in the past, for example, there were breakthroughs in certain mechanical technologies, the products produced were lower in cost and the profits of the enterprises were higher.

Such healthy development can promote industrial progress from top to bottom, because progress is profitable.

But with the Federation, even if they desperately research and develop regardless of the consequences, the economic value of the technological achievements they develop in the end is far less than that of "imported products".

Then such development will completely lose its "power".

In addition, the federal government is vigorously promoting "federal standards", offering low prices everywhere, and even selling industrial machines at a loss, which has caused extremely terrible industrial faults in these countries!

The fact that they have the federation's advanced industrial machines does not mean that their industrial level has improved, but that it has regressed.

Because once they lose the technical support from the federal side, they will instantly return to the way they were decades ago or even longer!

Even a screw may not be able to be produced!

The Minister of Economy's concerns are not without purpose, because this scene is very likely to happen in the Pengeo Empire.

With the shamelessness and cunningness of the Federation people, they must have prepared many conspiracies to deal with this great empire!
