Mage Joan

Joan stood very close to William Nichols, and he inadvertently heard the Governor’s self-satisfied complaint, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled, so he lowered his voice and asked the old Franklin for advice.

"Mr. Dean, the imperial authorities issued a decree approving the demarcation agreement signed between Governor Nichols and the aborigines. This is clearly supporting the Governor and endorsing him, but why Governor Nichols seems very frustrated and seems right Disappointed with the position taken by the imperial authorities?"

"Joan, you have such doubts because you are too young and lack social experience. You are deceived by William Nichols, an old official in the officialdom, who has been tricked by a set of political skills." The old Franklin chuckled. There was a touch of sarcasm in his eyes.

"You mean that although Governor Nichols advocated the signing of a demarcation agreement with the Asa people, in fact he did not really oppose the Westward Colonial Movement, but just pretended to fight for the assistance of the Asa people in the war. From the beginning Didn't you intend to fulfill the agreement?" Joan guessed.

The old man Franklin nodded his head softly, explaining the doorway to the young man in a low voice.

"Joan, do you remember the strongest basis given when the colonial council overturned the demarcation agreement signed by Governor Nichols and the Walsinger tribe?"

"Of course I remember that the legislators pointed out that the head of the colonial government, Governor Nichols, did not enjoy arbitrary diplomatic power. The demarcation agreement he signed with the Assa people was not authorized by the imperial government, so it was illegal and invalid. "Joan answered.

"Such obvious violations are clearly seen by lawmakers. William Nichols, as Governor, didn't know how he felt when he signed the agreement with the Walsinger tribe?" The old Franklin asked with a sneer. " Nichols claimed at the hearing that he was negligent. Do you believe this?"

Joan hesitated and shook his head.

Compared with the so-called "temporary negligence", he is more inclined to think that Governor Nichols has long been aware of this, but is just confused.

"This guy Nichols is very good at acting. On the surface, he is committed to maintaining the coexistence of the colonists and the aborigines, signing the demarcation agreement, and claiming to abandon the westward colonial movement, which won him praise among the aboriginal ethnic groups and established The public image, until today, the vast majority of the Assa people still think that the Governor is a good person, but unfortunately all the villains in the parliament blame the Parliament for overthrowing the agreement signed by the Governor and the aborigines."

"William Nichols has been the governor of Midgard for so many years. How could he not have his cronies in the parliament? He had long known that the parliament would overturn the agreement he had concluded and pretend to be aggrieved to appease the Assa people, Let the parliament act as a wicked villain, and his reputation will not be damaged in the least by betrayal."

"As for the parliament, I don't mind playing the role of a wicked person. Anyway, there are hundreds of parliamentarians in the parliament, and the vote is secret. The Assa people resent the parliament as an authority. What hinders the individual parliamentarians? The old saying is good, the Fa does not blame the people!"

"In fact, the parliamentarians are happy to publicly perform this double reed with Lord Governor. It seems that they are not afraid of power, brave to defend the interests of the colonial people, create a bright public image, and accumulate political capital for themselves."

"The governor and the parliament are unspoken, and each of his duties has the benefit he wants. Only the silly Aboriginal people are kept in the dark and sold to pay for the number of people. This is political wisdom. gap."

Franklin's understatement, falling into Joan's ear, only felt a chill burst from the soles of his feet.

Winning the "Alberton Award" can prove that a person is superior in wisdom, but Joan found that the "wisdom" used to engage in academic research is not the same thing as the "wisdom" that competes with the officialdom for power and profit!

The "genius" recognized by his own world, if he is not capable, is involved in political struggle, I am afraid that he will be turned around by those politicians who are more cunning than foxes.

The old man Franklin smiled, and then said: "Governor Nichols has a very good calculation, but unfortunately, after all, he is only the head of the colonial government. He has been far away from the political center of the empire for a long time. His vision and pattern are still lacking. There are fundamental differences in the treatment of indigenous peoples. Starting from the interests of the empire, it is a good move to abandon westward colonial expansion."

"The order just announced by Mr. Raul was like giving the Governor Nichols a shot, making him realize that he had made a big mistake. However, the delimitation agreement was signed by him, and the public image of peace and kindness to the indigenous people was also his own. If you stand up, you can’t destroy your personal settings by yourself, and reveal the true face that is different, so now he can’t tell the bitterness, and can only smile.”

"Regardless of whether the Governor Nichols and the parliamentarians are willing, once the emperor's decree was promulgated and the cross-border agreement came into force in accordance with the law, the dispute will be settled. In the future, Midgard's colonists and indigenous peoples can finally be at peace Nothing happened."

Joan said with emotion.

The old man Franklin stopped talking, finally sighed and said thoughtfully: "I hope so."

...

The decree publicly read by John Raul quickly spread to all parts of Midgard and caused heated debate in all walks of life.

The colonists had reason to resent the position of the imperial authorities, and even publicly declared that the decree was nothing more than a piece of paper. Neither the majesty of the emperor nor his cabinet ministers could prevent the colonists of the new continent from continuing to expand their land and build their homes westward.

As the Enlightenment thinkers declared, everyone has the right to seek a happy life.

The poor came to the New World in order to occupy a large area of ​​fertile land and live a happy life like the landlord.

Colonial pioneering is a necessary means for the pursuit of happiness, and the aborigines are just a group of beasts walking upright. It is an obstacle for the colonists to pursue happiness and realize their dreams. It should be cleared with "iron and fire"-just like the elimination of cultivated land Weeds and pests.

His Majesty the Emperor and his government should defend the interests of their subjects and strongly support colonial expansion. However, a ridiculous decree was issued, which instead took the aboriginal side, which is simply a stupid act of intimacy.

Since the imperial government first betrayed the subjects of the New World, why should the Midgard be loyal to their country and monarch?

Pay taxes?

Pay Nima's tax!

Lao Tzu is justified in resisting taxes. !

There are not a few colonists who harbor such radical ideas, and they will continue to grow with time. The “separatist” forces represented by the “Association of Freedom” will also usher in historical opportunities for development and growth.
