Chapter 417 Highway Network and Big Data

Although in terms of national strength, the Britannia Empire is not currently number one in the entire continent. In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Britannia Empire is still inferior to the northern superpower, the Holy Hiran Empire. In terms of national power rankings, Britannia Empire The Ya Empire and the Frankish Empire to the east were tied for second place in the continent.

However, although the comprehensive national strength is not the first in the entire continent, the Britannia Empire has many systems that can be said to be the best in the entire continent.

For example, it has direct roads all over the country and a household registration system that covers all rural areas in the country.

The first emperor of the Britannian Empire could be said to have outstanding strategic vision. He saw the importance of transportation to a country, so he spared no effort to build straight roads that could reach all important places in the country.

With the imperial capital Pendragon as the center, there are more than a dozen straight roads extending to various important places across the country.

These straight roads can be said to be the "highways" of the Britannia Empire.

These straight roads not only made the commerce of the Britannia Empire unprecedentedly developed, but also raised the military strength of the Britannia Empire to more than one level, allowing troops and baggage to be mobilized quickly.

The speed of mobilization of troops and baggage of the Britannia Empire is beyond the reach of other countries.

This is why after the "Summer Wind" offensive, when Bancro went to the imperial capital of the Luolin Empire to negotiate with the Queen and others of the Luolin Empire, Bancro's words were able to scare the fool queen and the officials of the Luolin Empire. them.

Because even someone as stupid as Queen Bella knew that the words in Bancro's mouth were not unfounded.

The Britannia Empire was indeed able to quickly mobilize their domestic standing army.

With the help of these straight roads, the Knights of Gabriel on the Rhine Front of the Britannian Empire and the Knights of Michael on the Northern Front were indeed able to quickly mobilize southward and complete the entire country in their Rollin Empire. Before the general mobilization, the three major knights can all break into the Luolin Empire and attack the Luolin Empire, which has lost all its elites.

With this sophisticated "transportation network", the Britannia Empire can be said to be the best in the entire continent in terms of superior transportation conditions.

In addition to the traffic conditions, the household registration system of the Britannia Empire was also very strong.

The Britannia Empire is recognized as the country with the strongest centralized power in the entire continent.

There are two reasons why the Britannia Empire is recognized as the country with the strongest centralized power in the entire continent.

First, because the strength of the territorial nobles in the Britannia Empire is very poor. Not only do most of their income have to be turned over to the central government, but their military strength is also very weak. With the army, all the territorial nobles in the country can be wiped out. The local vassals are unable to compete with the central government. The central government can just stretch out its little finger and kill all these local vassals.

The second reason is that the Britannia Empire has extremely strong control over local areas.

The third-generation emperor of the Britannia Empire was also a very strategic emperor like the first-generation emperor.

He saw the importance of a complete household registration system to a country.

The third generation emperor of the Britannia Empire spent nearly his entire life establishing a household registration system that covered even the country's rural areas.

The 3rd generation emperor invented something called "photo ID card".

The "identity card" is made of wooden blocks and is treated with special techniques to make it less susceptible to mold and insects.

Each person holds a "personal ID card", which states the person's name, date of birth, place of birth, and appearance.

To put it simply, this "identity card" is similar to the "identity card" of the Britannia Empire.

People who do not have an "ID card" will be treated as refugees or even spies of the enemy country. Therefore, when the "ID card" is lost, you must immediately go to a nearby city to find someone from the government to replace it.

When Su Cheng first came to this other world, thanks to his good luck, he met Falk Windsor, a kind-hearted businessman. Falk helped him apply for his "personal ID card".

Su Cheng became a legal citizen of the Britannia Empire.

Even if you have not lost your "ID card", everyone must go to the government office in a nearby city to renew their "ID card" every five years. After all, people always grow up and their appearance changes. Every time The update of the "personal ID card" is basically to update the description of the appearance written on the ID card.

Every five years, each local government will send people to each rural area under their responsibility to inform people there that they need to renew their "ID Cards."

Thanks to this "identity card", the Britannia Empire's mobilization capabilities and local management capabilities are beyond the reach of other countries.

What is the total population of the country, how many adults are there in the country, how many men and women there are in the country, where there are more adults and where there are fewer adults... The Britannia Empire knows all these important information.

It is precisely because the central government of the Britannia Empire is very clear about how many strong men there are in the country and knows that the empire is fully capable of taking on a new knighthood, so the central government has the confidence to rebuild the Michael Knights and form a new one with 15 people. The Knights of Uriel with a strength of 10,000.

This move by the third-generation emperor helped the Empire Center establish "big population data" for the entire empire, allowing the Britannia Empire Center to have a clear understanding of its own domestic population situation.

In addition to the Britannia Empire, other countries, including the two great empires of the Holy Hiran Empire and the Frankish Empire, all have "imperial power not sent to the countryside." What is the population of each rural area in the country? They 2 The central government of the country has a black eye. In terms of the ability of centralization and local control, no country in the entire continent can compete with the Britannia Empire.

Therefore, thanks to the "big population data" established by the third generation emperor, the Britannia Empire has mobilization capabilities and centralization capabilities that far exceed those of other countries.

Therefore, knowledgeable people from all over the world can see that although the current national power of the Britannia Empire is not the first in the entire continent, in terms of potential, it is definitely the first in the entire continent, and it is still far behind the second place. That kind of first.

The Britannia Empire, which possesses these two powerful tools, the "straight line system" that has been laid out in every important place across the country and the "household registration system" that covers every rural area, has unlimited potential.

The reason why the Britannian Empire now succumbs to the Holy Hiran Empire in terms of national power is entirely because the emperors before Gozevin were all foolish kings who could do anything except good things. , the officials in the central government are also a bunch of sycophants.

Under the combined efforts of this group of foolish kings and sycophants, the national power of the Britannia Empire declined seriously, and the throne of "the world's most powerful country" was ceded to the Holy Shiran Empire.

In the Britannia Empire, many things can only be done by showing your "ID".

For example - participating in military recruitment activities.

To participate in recruitment activities, it is essential to show your "ID card" because the staff at the recruitment office will use your "ID card" to see if your age meets the requirements and to see if you meet the requirements. If you do not match the appearance described in the "ID Card", please check to see if you are the person you are.
