The sin of wearing a crown

For Albion, although they nominally won the Continental War and said there were still post-war dividends waiting to be reaped, the actual bloodletting was quite serious and anti-war ideas had been on the rise. The end of the war was actually a very lucky thing.

The previous cabinet retired with great success and left with a pat on the back.

The next cabinet and the contradictory military left behind really made the new Prime Minister Arnold very angry. It is said that Mr. Prime Minister once cursed in private without regard to gentlemanly manners. He bluntly said that the important officials of the previous government were excrement machines, leaving them with a lot of troubles that they had no way to deal with, and then went straight to enjoy a wealthy life. .

Well, Mr. Linn particularly agrees with this.

Judging from the annual salary of 80,000 gold pounds revealed by a certain lower-level permanent secretary and under-secretary, the pensions and various positions of retired former cabinet members are really shocking. This kind of straightforward power-money transaction does not need to be concealed in this world, and it is being legalized.

This is why so many people are helpless when facing the glass ceiling.

Rich people get richer.

Moreover, money can beget money, and money and power are intertwined with each other, weaving a stronger web. In this industrial age, when the threshold has been raised to the point where people need to look up to others, it is easy for a farmer's son to always be a farmer, and a congressman's son to always be a congressman.

There are many at Albion hoping that this can change.

This is not because they have noble personalities.

But if society continues to be completely solidified like this, for the rulers, when there is a confrontation between powerful enemies outside, the ruled will lose all initiative, and then there will be big problems in the operation of everything. It's very simple. Every organization must have people who do practical things and maintain the interests of those who do practical things. Otherwise, they will be full of people who want to grab food and flatter people, and the operation of this organization may not be long before it collapses.

The same is true when it is enlarged to the national level. Officials and civil servants cannot all make shit, not even cakes, or even plunder, right?

What's the use of raising such a group of blood-sucking worms? It's better to choose some people who are willing to do things.

This is why Albion is gradually moving away from a centralized system. If the current trend of oligarchic centralized system does not change in this way, Albion's overall environment may gradually become rotten. Facts have proved that this change was possible before the industrial era, and the speed of eliminating a group of people could keep up with the overall metabolic rate. However, once we entered the steam era, this metabolism could not keep up, and the contradiction became increasingly acute.

The first time the wise people in the country tried to save the country was to launch a war.

It just so happened that Hopps wanted to die, so a country of such a size could give Albion a big break. It can be said that the planning of these insightful people was very successful in the early stage, but what made them feel brain congestion was that the share of Hopps that could feed the entire continent seemed to be expected to be 99.9% All fell into the pockets of a few people...

Hasn’t this thing not changed at all? Treating the symptoms but not the root cause!

How many hops are there in the whole continent that can be eaten? !

Based on the future trend, it seems that the only one worth betting on is the military. A government controlled by the Qiu Ba people? Just thinking about Qiu Ba's character made them drunk. It was like a train without brakes roaring forward, and at the end of the track was an abyss with no bottom.

The war is over, and the military has not returned with a victorious attitude. It is not difficult to imagine that the new cabinet will reduce the military. If you contact the military at this time, you have to make some political concessions. After all, the military is like this Things, the oligarchs never get too close to each other, this can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the royal family before handing over power. In fact, the oligarchs are also afraid of being directly kidnapped by the military warmongers and put into chariots and driven forward uncontrollably. What they hope is that the reins can firmly control the military beast.

So what should we do in the future?

It seems that there is no way to go about it. This group of people has fallen into deep doubts. In their postwar thinking, different groups of people chose different directions, but I won’t go into details for now. This different direction actually has an impact on the local area.

For example, Amiste, according to her own words, tries not to be involved with the military.

This is a rule of the game that she has to abide by.

If Lin En reaches a deeper cooperation with the military, then she may have to make some concessions in her voice in the South. Most of the military giants are North County, and they are the Army. The South is dominated by port cities and has a stronger navy. Most, relatively speaking, within a period of time, the cooperation between [Liaoyuan Commune] and relevant parties can be based on an equal attitude, rather than being in a passive position.

"...Too many people died in this war."

Walking along the edge of the indoor hot spring bath with Lin En, Amiste said with emotion as if she saw food being wasted.

"There won't be too many people who died after the war." Linn stood beside her like a guardian knight, raising his hand to hold the Countess' catkins, and said something pointedly.

Nowadays, Hope is like an orphan in the mysterious world, abandoned. Well, in this world, not only capital has no borders, extraordinary people also have no borders.

Well, I have another intelligence source in Hopes, and that is Dr. Ziegler.

Ever since they established a mysterious connection, they would contact each other every once in a while. It's basically Dr. Ziegler, calling out to Lynn like a prayer. Although it was said that Linn appeared in the form of the Black Holy Grail in that mysterious space, Dr. Ziegler, who was intelligent and had been tainted with divinity, seemed to have vaguely guessed Linn's identity.

Judging from several interactions with each other, her attitude was obviously more affectionate and trusting. Except for not breaking the window paper, she basically regarded the Black Holy Grail as Lin En.

The young gentleman was a little embarrassed.

He didn't know how to explain the Black Holy Grail to Ziegler and the strange mysterious space that connected each other, so he never told Ziegler that he was Linn. Well, considering that Ziegler is still a gem in the [Gem Club], with her beliefs and character, some things can still be said.

Because Ziegler was in Hopps, Linn felt that he had always had a secret move.

It's just that this chess piece is not so easy to fall, but if it is really placed, it may be an unintentional and magical move.
