Chapter 635 Disagreement
For Albion, although it won the Continental War in name and said that there were still post-war dividends waiting to be eaten, the actual bleeding was still quite serious, and anti-war ideas were always on the rise. It was actually a very lucky thing to be able to end the war decently.
The previous cabinet retired after accomplishing its mission and left.
The next cabinet and the military full of contradictions that remained really annoyed the new Prime Minister Arnold. It is said that the Prime Minister once cursed privately without regard for gentlemanly manners, saying that the officials of the previous government were all dung-making machines, leaving them with a lot of troubles that they could not deal with, and then directly enjoyed a wealthy life.
Well, Mr. Lynn particularly agrees with this point.
Judging from the annual salary of 80,000 gold pounds revealed by a certain lower-level permanent secretary, the pensions of those retired former cabinet members and the money they made from various positions are really shocking. This kind of straightforward power-for-money transaction does not need to be concealed in this world, and it is being legalized.
This is why so many people are at a loss when facing the glass ceiling.
The richer the richer.
And money can make money, and money and power are intertwined to weave a stronger network. In this industrial age, when the threshold is raised to the point where you need to look up, it is easy for the son of a farmer to always be a farmer, and the son of a congressman to always be a congressman.
Many people in Albion hope to change this situation.
This is not because they have noble personalities.
But if the society is completely solidified, for the rulers, when there are strong enemies outside, the ruled will lose all initiative, and all operations will have big problems. 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 are all full of food grabbing and flattering, and the operation of this organization may collapse directly in a short time.
The same is true at the national level. Officials and civil servants can't all make manure, not even make cakes, or even plunder, right?
What's the point 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 an oligarchic centralized system is not changed, the environment of Albion may gradually rot. Facts have proved that this change was possible before the industrial age, and the speed of eliminating a group of people could keep up with the speed of overall metabolism. However, once the steam age came, such metabolism could not keep up, and the contradictions became increasingly acute.
The first way that the knowledgeable people in the country tried to save the country was to start a war.
It just so happened that Hops was courting death, and such a large country could give Albion a big break. The planning of these knowledgeable people can be said to be very successful in the early stage, but what made them feel cerebral congestion was that Hops fell and the share that could feed the entire continent, it seemed that it could be expected that 99.9% would fall into the pockets of a few people...
Isn't this completely unchanged? It's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause!
How many Hops can be eaten in the entire continent? !
According to the future trend, it seems that the only one worth betting on is the military. A government controlled by soldiers? Just thinking about the character of the soldiers, they can't help but get drunk. It's like a train without brakes rolling forward, roaring and galloping, and the end of the railroad track is an abyss that can't be seen.
The war is over, and the military is not returning with a victorious attitude. It is not difficult to imagine that the new cabinet will cut down the military. If you contact the military at this time, you have to give in politically. After all, the oligarchs have never been too close to the military. This is also a tacit understanding of the royal family before handing over power. In fact, the oligarchs are also afraid of being directly kidnapped by the military's war profiteers and uncontrolled on the chariot. They hope that the reins can firmly control the military beast.
What should we do in the future?
It seems that there is no way anyway. This part of the group has fallen into, point body question, I think deeply about the doubt. In the post-war thinking, different people in this group chose different directions, and the specifics will not be discussed for the time being. 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 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 right to speak in the south. Most of the military giants are in the North County, and they are the army. The south is mainly composed of port cities and the navy. Relatively speaking, for a period of time, the cooperation between [Liaoyuan Commune] and related parties can be carried out in an equal manner, rather than 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 sighed in a tone as if she saw food being wasted.
"There won't be too few people who died after the war." Lin En stood by her like a guardian knight, raised his hand to hold the Countess's soft hand, and said something meaningful.
Now Hops is like an orphan in the mysterious world, abandoned. Well, this world is not only capital without borders, but also extraordinary people without borders.
Well, I have another source of information in Hops, that is Dr. Ziegler.
Since they established a mysterious connection, they would contact each other every once in a while. Dr. Ziegler would basically call Lynn in a prayer-like way. Although Lynn appeared in the mysterious space as the Black Holy Grail, Dr. Ziegler, who was smart and had been touched by divinity, seemed to have vaguely guessed Lynn's identity.
From the several contacts, her attitude was obviously more intimate and trusting. Except for not breaking the window paper, the others basically regarded the Black Holy Grail as Lynn.
The little gentleman was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know how to explain the Black Holy Grail and the strange mysterious space connecting each other to Ziegler, so he never told Ziegler directly that he was Lynn. Well, considering that Ziegler was still a gem of the [Gem Society], with her beliefs and personality, some things could still be said.
Because Ziegler was in Hops, Lynn felt that she had always had a hidden chess piece.
It's just that this chess piece is not so easy to fall, but if it is really well placed, it may be an unintentional masterstroke.
