Chapter 561 Black Gold Alliance Established
After the whole incident was dealt with, the Blackstone Kingdom and the Aocheng Group established a joint foundation to help the people affected by the riots and rebuild their houses.
One day near the end of the year, King Wu Sheng invited Song Ziming, Liu Cheng, Augustine and others to his palace as guests.
Liu Cheng was also specifically asked to bring along some core personnel of the Aocheng Group.
After the dinner, Wu Sheng went straight to the point. He said:
“I’ve been thinking about a question for the past few years, and now I have a concrete answer.
That is that I am indeed not suitable to be the king of the Blackstone Kingdom.
Whether it's resisting alien creatures or dealing with political crises.
Even this riot would have happened if there were not the Aocheng Group and the Veterans Association.
I'm afraid I will all let my people down.
Without the help of the Veterans Association and the Aocheng Group, our Blackstone Kingdom would have perished a year ago.
After careful consideration and discussions with ministers, I decided to step aside.
The position of king of the Blackstone Kingdom will be handed over to the Veterans Association and the Aocheng Group.
The interests of both of you are bound to the Blackstone Kingdom, and the character of everyone here has also passed the test of time.
As long as you are willing to lead the people of the Blackstone Kingdom forward, I hope you can take over this important task! "
When Liu Cheng, Song Ziming and others heard this, they were all a little surprised by Wu Sheng's decision.
They didn't expect that Wu Sheng was actually talking about this kind of thing when he invited them here this time.
However, this incident was both unexpected and reasonable.
Wu Sheng is indeed not the material to be a king.
He has a kind heart and is too soft-hearted towards his enemies.
He has neither outstanding military talents nor strong business skills.
The only thing worth mentioning is that he has a heart that loves the people.
He was indeed better suited to be an archbishop than a king.
Song Ziming laughed at himself and said:
“If that’s the case, I have nothing worth saying.
My Veterans Association has become a tool used by the senior officials of the United Government to recruit private soldiers.
I used to be full of passion, always thinking about fighting alien creatures and protecting all mankind.
In the end, it was myself who needed the most protection from others.
I understand that what I thought before was wrong, and very wrong.
Although humans are a lower-level civilized species in the entire universe, just like the Terra Zerg.
But it is a creature that is more greedy and cunning than the Terra Zerg.
Some people, for their own selfish desires and intrigues, can ruin the lives of all compatriots in the entire star field.
Some people are short-sighted, incompetent, and fail to see how important it is for others to strive for.
And I am the latter.
I used to only want to protect everyone and be a hero among humans.
Only now do I understand that not all humans are worthy of our protection.
Sometimes, I asked my old comrades who followed me to sacrifice their lives in exchange for the benefits of even more evil people.
In this way, I am not as good as King Wu Sheng in your achievements.
How can I be worthy of the important task of leading the people of the Blackstone Kingdom forward? "
Immediately, Wu Sheng, Song Ziming and others all turned their eyes towards Liu Cheng and the others.
Augustine waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about this matter and that it had nothing to do with him.
All the pressure was put on Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng said quickly:
“If it’s a fight, I have the confidence and courage.
However, when it comes to managing a country, I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications.
I can't even manage the Aocheng Group well, so I rely on the help of people around me..."
Upon seeing this, Ryan quickly spoke:
"I think everyone's thinking is somewhat limited."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Ryan.
Wu Sheng asked:
"How do you say this?"
Ryan said:
“Why does the person who leads the people of a country forward have to be a king?
Why can't the country be restructured so that it can be decided by many people together?
No matter how strong a person's ability is, it is impossible to perform well in all aspects.
Chairman Song's ideals are indeed somewhat naive, but who can completely deny the value of his military qualities and enthusiasm for defending mankind?
King Wu Sheng may not be suitable to supervise the country, but who can deny that he thinks about his people?
Even the Ao Cheng Group cannot be managed by one person. Why must the Blackstone Kingdom be managed by only one person? "
After hearing this, everyone agreed with Ryan's statement.
"I think Manager Ryan is right."
"Yes, the current national strength of the Blackstone Kingdom is far more than just a planet of immigrants.
We must reform! "
"Yes, we support restructuring!"
The reason why Ryan spoke like this was entirely from the perspective of the Aocheng Group.
In his opinion, if Liu Cheng could take over the entire Blackstone Kingdom.
Then Aocheng Group, and all employees of Aocheng Group, will follow the rising tide.
This result is in the interest of everyone around Ryan.
Therefore, as the ultimate representative of the employees of Aocheng Group, he must push Liu Cheng and Augustine when they are unwilling to express their stance!
So Ryan said:
“In this case, I propose to change the Blackstone Kingdom to a joint parliamentary system.
King Wu Sheng became an honorary archbishop, in charge of religion and people's livelihood.
Song Ziming can take over the military duties and improve the current situation of the King's Army.
Chairman Tu Cheng of our Aocheng Group can serve as the president of the Blackstone Kingdom and be responsible for politics, business and other affairs.
As long as we unite as one, we will surely make the Blackstone Kingdom more prosperous! "
Not only the core executives of the Aocheng Group, but also the ministers of the Blackstone Kingdom were very excited when they heard this.
These ministers are the most loyal to the Blackstone Kingdom. They have suffered from the weakness of the Blackstone Kingdom for a long time!
They hope that the Blackstone Kingdom will become richer and stronger than anyone else.
The atmosphere has been set here, and everyone said to Liu Cheng:
"President Tu Cheng, for the future of the Blackstone Kingdom and for all the people of the Blackstone Kingdom, please don't refuse it anymore!"
Liu Cheng looked at Wu Sheng, Song Ziming, Augustine, and Ryan.
Everyone could see the color of hope in their eyes.
So Liu Cheng plucked up the courage, stood up and said:
"In this case, I am willing to take on this arduous responsibility with everyone present.
Lead the people of Black Stone Kingdom and move forward together!"
Three days later, after days of discussion between Aocheng Group and Black Stone Kingdom, Black Stone Kingdom was reformed into a parliamentary system.
While retaining the membership of the United Government, Tu Cheng, the chairman of Aocheng Group, was appointed as the first president.
Wu Sheng, the former king of Black Stone Kingdom, became an honorary bishop.
In front of all the people of Black Stone City, a popular drama of voluntarily giving up his position was staged.
On the same day of the same year, Black Stone Kingdom was renamed Black Gold Alliance, foreshadowing a brand new future for Black Stone Kingdom.
(End of Volume 3.)
(PS: The following is a summary of Volume 3.)
Volume 3 mainly describes the initial process of Liu Cheng's personal power establishment, but I found that the I prefer to watch battles with alien creatures and superpowers rather than farming.
Therefore, in the fourth volume, I will directly open the main plot of the later part of the novel, and introduce alien creatures and other enemies I arranged one by one.
The pace of the novel will gradually become faster, and it may be completed in one or two volumes.
Although the third volume has improved some of the mistakes made in the first two volumes, I am also taking time to slowly modify the poisonous content of the first two volumes.
But I found that my typos have not decreased at all, and there are still so many.
I try to check and modify as soon as possible after writing the update every day, sorry!
At the same time, thank you all for your continued support.
The author thanks everyone again!
