Chapter 350 The establishment of a pirate nation

After five days. The turmoil caused by the destruction of the three major pirate groups within the Shadow Island organization has been largely calmed down. The parliament held many emergency meetings to discuss the next step of the organization.

The tone of the truce with the Sea Clan was first set. The first exposure of the hidden strength of the Sea Clan resulted in the destruction of the three major pirate groups. This changed the attitude of the pirates towards the war after a month and a half of thankless fighting. support.

Pirates are not an army that likes to engage in serious wars. They are better at robbing fleets, harassing coastal villages and ports, and even collecting protection fees. The pirates who had always been highly flexible at sea and fought openly and secretly with the enemy were extremely frustrated when fighting the Sea Clan because the Sea Clan were more flexible and fought openly and secretly.

It was already difficult to fight, but they suddenly discovered that the Sea Clan was not as easy to deal with as they had imagined. The pirates began to unanimously oppose the war with the Sea Clan. In the eyes of the pirates below, Yorick was the anti-war speaker, so he naturally made decisions that conformed to the people's wishes.

Although Yorick proposed various benefits of fighting the Sea Tribe at that time, the decision was made by the three major speakers. At that time, due to his lack of prestige and Yorick's deliberate separation from the decision to start the war, except for the congressmen present at the meeting, the other pirates had always seen Yorick's anti-war face.

Yorick, who catered to the public's taste and received the support of more than half of the members of the Shadow Island Parliament, suddenly became the only highest authority in the Shadow Island organization. In order to consolidate Yorick's position, Yu Fei even personally helped Yorick control the most prestigious senior members of the parliament.

Under the control of the Parliament, all pirate fleets left the Eastern Theater Zone east of Shadow Island, which was regarded as directly abandoning the large area of ​​​​sea where the Sea Tribe most frequently visited. Anyway, it is considered to be far away from the sea area of ​​​​Eslaze continent, and the main area where pirates do "business" is not there.

Within the Shadow Island organization, the current mainstream opinion is to leave the Sea Clan alone first and then settle down internally. Of course, this is also a manifestation of the influence of the principle of "reconciling the internal situation first" put forward by our great Speaker Yorick - Yu Fei uses all means to focus on consolidating and improving Yorick's status.

The destruction of the three major pirate groups meant that the power structure of the Shadow Island organization was greatly disrupted. The only remaining Speaker, Yorick, relied on the reputation he had cultivated over the past two months and the support of most members, and used special means in special times to temporarily implement a dictatorial rule.

Although a small number of members were dissatisfied with the rule of Yorick, a member who had just taken office not long ago, this group of opposition forces was quickly wiped out in the face of the general trend. The part of the pirate group that finds it most difficult to recognize Yorick's status has actually been eliminated by the Sea Tribe under Yorick's internal and external cooperation.

In this way, in the following month when Yorick took charge, the Shadow Island organization gradually stabilized. Most of the pirate group is back on track and starting to resume their old business. A part of the large pirate group that has been completely controlled by Yorick secretly remains around the Shadow Island in the name of preventing the Sea Tribe's counterattack.

One month of being in charge has allowed Yorick to greatly improve his prestige. Most pirates believe that Speaker Yorick is a very good decision-maker. Especially in the eyes of the middle and lower class pirates, Yorick is simply the savior who rescues them from the whirlpool of fighting the Sea Tribe.

Just when Yorick's reputation was growing, under the covert operation, a voice became louder and louder in the Shadow Island Council. Some congressmen pointed out that although they failed in the battle with the Sea Tribe, the previous proposal for the establishment of a pirate nation was a very good idea.

Now the Shadow Island organization has reached a turning point and must change the way it exists in order to better survive the changes. Jianguo is a very good choice. This is the argument of those MPs who put forward the proposal to continue the establishment of the country.

Strangely, as soon as this argument was put forward, it was supported by several veteran members of the parliament. It was quickly recognized by the majority of members and the news was passed down below. In this process, Yu Fei's mental control is naturally indispensable.

When the news reached the bottom, most of the pirates' reaction was that they were shocked for a while, and then became excited. Before the war with the Sea Tribe, only a few people in the parliament knew about the pirate nation-building proposal. This was the first time for the middle- and lower-class pirates to hear about this proposal.

For ordinary pirates, the establishment of a pirate nation is an exciting proposal. No one is born willing to be a pirate, and even the capable pirates at the top actually have a clear identity on the coast. Having a pirate's own country is a dream that ordinary pirates long for.

Founding! Support the founding of the country! For a long time, the call for establishing a pirate country of their own has been getting louder and louder in the Shadow Island organization, forming a wave.

After just five days of discussion and solicitation of opinions, the Shadow Island organization unanimously determined its opinions on the establishment of a pirate nation. It’s time for the Shadow Island organization to change its organizational structure!

As for the new organizational structure, it was finalized after some discussions.

Because the members of the Shadow Island organization are all pirates or their families, the general highly centralized state organization method is naturally impossible. The parliament finally decided to establish a federal state similar to the Candela Commercial United Kingdom.

Of course, federal countries also need a king. As the only remaining Speaker and Pirate King, Yorick naturally takes up the position of King as he is expected to do. Under the king, the Shadow Isles Council was retained, but was divided into two parts.

After the establishment of the pirate nation, the Shadow Island Parliament will be divided into the Federal Parliament and the People's Assembly, which can also be said to be the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Most of the members of the Federal Parliament were members of the original Shadow Island Parliament, representing various large pirate groups and states after the founding of the country.

The newly emerged People's Assembly is composed of people's representatives elected by middle- and lower-class pirates, even pirate rangers, and maritime adventurers, and exercises some power.

The king, the federal parliament and the popular assembly are the power structure of the pirate country after the establishment of the pirate country. The specific distribution of power is still under discussion.

As for the country's management method, it is reflected in the word "federal". The Shadow Island organization is not a strict organization to begin with, and even if the pirates establish a nation, centralized management will not be easy - the vastness of the sea area and the scarcity of islands also determine that the new country cannot be managed like on land.

According to the original division of forces, the sea area covered by the Shadow Island organization was divided into thirty-four states. Each state is composed of a considerable number of small and medium-sized pirate groups and a large pirate group. When dividing the islands, we tried our best to take balance into consideration and put the domains and forces of the thirty-four states on the same level.

Unlike the commercial kingdom of Candela, which they imitated, the country the pirates planned to establish had a more vague hierarchy and did not even have a noble class. This is because most pirates became pirates because they were oppressed or even framed by the nobles, so Yorick did not establish a noble class after carefully considering everyone's opinions.

The actual reason is that the existence of the aristocracy will reduce the king's dominance, which is not what Yu Fei wants to see. What he needs is a country where Yorick can make decisions with one word, at least in the military aspect.

In addition to the changes in the power structure and management structure, the biggest change was that the pirates no longer practiced pillage. To be honest, not many people are willing to live a life of licking blood with a knife. There are not a few pirates killed by regular troops or even caravan guards of coastal countries every year.

After the pirate nation was established, if ordinary pirates did not want to join the army, they would be assigned to various states and some areas along the coast that were occupied by pirates and become common people in the kingdom. They would have their own kingdom to deal with daily necessities and so on.

As for the kingdom’s source of income, it naturally comes from protection fees. Pirates who are unwilling to disarm and return to their fields will be incorporated into the kingdom's army and become a tool to protect the kingdom and "suck blood" from other human countries.
