Chapter 54: 1 battle
Dongxia Empire, Imperial Capital, Congress Hall.
In the magnificent Congress Hall, on the west side of the semi-circular hall, hundreds of golden silk jade wood tables and chairs engraved with various gorgeous cloud patterns are neatly placed along the edge of the hall in a crescent shape. A five-clawed golden dragon on the wall wraps around the entire hall. The dragon head is located above the center of the hall. The lifelike dragon head holds a huge dark golden dragon flag in its mouth. This is the national flag of the Eastern Xia Empire.
To the east of the hall is a high platform made of jade. The high platform has nine steps and two floors. On both sides of the eighth step, there are 33 tables and chairs of golden thread and jade wood, which are the seats of the 32 state legislators and prime ministers of the Eastern Xia Empire.
Above them was a golden dragon chair, which the emperor sat on. In fact, only the emperor of the Congress will come here once a year to see the members and the cabinet torn apart.
Today's meeting is a bit special. The people who come to the meeting are state legislators, prime ministers, heads of major departments, and generals of military regions.
Everyone held the tablet dedicated to the Congress and quietly read all kinds of information from another world, such as monsters, gene potions, gods, magic, and so on.
Just because the mining speed continues to increase, thousands of tons of mineral resources have been shipped back, and they have seen the huge benefits brought by another world, not to mention that there are countless resources to be developed.
The development of magical mechas, the completion of genetic potions, the collection of various magical knowledge, and the various resources of the entire planet are waiting for the Eastern Xia Empire to develop.
The most important longevity! Gene potion can prolong the lifespan, even if only one tenth of the high elves have a lifespan of 1,000 years! Even if the final gene potion is further weakened for the success rate, it will have at least a few hundred years of life.
Feasting, prosperity, wealth, and power... They have enjoyed all the best material pleasures in this world. Now their first pursuit is health, and a longevity method is in front of them, how can this not make them crazy?
"Gentlemen," He Ye, the mayor of the Imperial City, stood up from his chair, and everyone's eyes focused on him, "I have a proposal."
Seeing his expression, the Workers' Party and the Democratic Party suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts. The rest of the royal party and the generals of the military region looked as usual, and some even smiled.
The next moment, the proposal of the mayor of the imperial capital He Ye was sent to everyone's tablet.
"On the Revision of the Emperor's Power"
Rule 1: The emperor is the monarch of the Eastern Xia Empire.
Article 2: The emperor has immunity from prosecution, and the emperor cannot be arrested.
Article 3: No one or any institution can ask the emperor to testify in court.
Article 4: The emperor does not need to pay taxes.
Article 5: The emperor is the commander-in-chief of the nine military regions.
People in the Workers' Party and the Democratic Party shrugged when they saw the newly added Article 5. In fact, from the very beginning, when the emperor opened the portal, they had already thought that such a day would come.
The people of the imperial party took advantage of this incident and began to seize power for the emperor.
"..." Li Zhiguo opened his mouth slightly, but the words of refusal just came to his lips, but he didn't know how to say it. The same was true for the members of the Workers' Party and the Democratic Party.
In ancient times, the emperor could guarantee the stability and unity of the country, so the emperor could have supreme rights. In modern times, the emperor can use powerful means to ensure the rapid progress of the industrial revolution, so the emperor can still hold power. After the Second World War, with the continuous improvement of the system, the role of the parliament gradually became prominent, and the rights also expanded. The modern, ever-expanding parliament has now overwhelmed the emperor.
The Eastern Xia Empire pursued obligations and responsibilities in parallel, and now the emperor has taken advantage of it. Now if they don't follow the rules, refuse the emperor to gain power through formal channels. Then these royalists and some generals in the military region will no longer tell them the rules.
At that time, the royal family did not break the rules of the game, and gradually let go of the power in their hands. Now we have come up with a huge benefit, you want to play double standard with us?
No one can be sure what will happen at that time, but the only thing that can be sure is that they will be the first to break the rules of the game, and it will not end well.
Not to mention that the cake that the emperor brought out is really too big. This cake can satisfy everyone, and even a little support.
The workers felt and the Democratic Party focused their attention on Prime Minister Li Zhiguo. Now it is time for the Prime Minister to show his due courage.
Seeing other people's eyes, Li Zhiguo twitched the corners of his mouth, these guys still want to push me out?
"Xia Hun, the "Revision of the Emperor's Powers" bill has entered the first instance." Li Zhiguo said.
As soon as he finished speaking, an electronic synthesizer sounded: "On the Revision of the Emperor's Power" entered the first trial.
Xia Soul, the national main system of weak artificial intelligence in the Eastern Xia Empire.
The legal process of the Eastern Xia Empire is relatively simple. The first step is to propose a city councillor representative or a state councillor, and then the bill enters the first instance.
In the second step, after the bill enters the first instance, the parliament must convene a meeting within 9 days. As long as one state legislator and 50 city councillors agree, the bill will enter the second instance.
In the third step, after the bill enters the second instance, the parliament must meet again within 9 days. As long as 20 state legislators and 200 city councillors agree, the bill will enter into force.
In the fourth step, the bill is promulgated nationwide, and it will become law immediately.
With the passage of time, the disturbance caused by the Dongxia Empire's series of actions has gradually subsided in the country. However, the situation in the world is getting more and more tense, and there is no tendency to calm down.
There is no international organization similar to the United Nations in this world to mediate, and no organization has this size. Unless the Eastern Xia Empire, the Southern Xia Democratic Republic and the Northern Continent Alliance are willing to act as guarantors and become one of the permanent members just like the United Nations.
The Northern Continent Alliance is willing, but unfortunately the Eastern Xia Empire and the Southern Xia Democratic Republic do not have them.
The world's major powers began to prepare for war, while the weaker countries began to stand in line and seek refuge. All countries recalled the fear of being dominated by that dynasty.
All countries have grafted their fears on the Dongxia Empire.
The Great Summer Dynasty, the real initiator of the two world wars, occupied half of the world at its peak, so over the past 500 years, no less than 200 countries have been destroyed by the Great Summer Dynasty.
In the year 5026 of the Great Summer Calendar, the Great Summer Dynasty, under the powerful means of Emperor Wenxia, quickly completed the first industrial revolution, and after digesting the productivity brought by the first industrial revolution, the first equipped firearm in history was formed. 's army. Then in 5028, he brazenly launched a war against the neighboring countries, and quickly wiped out nearly 60% of the countries in the Eastern Continent with the momentum of destroying Gu Laxiu.
The five powerful countries headed by Tianyuan Kingdom barely withstood the attack of the Great Summer Dynasty, completed the first industrial revolution, and assembled a modern army.
At that time, one third of their land had been occupied by the Great Summer Dynasty. They thought they could rely on flintlock guns and artillery to retake their land, and they began to counterattack against the Great Summer Dynasty.
But what they didn't expect was that the five-nation alliance led by the Tianyuan Kingdom had just arrived in the country they had captured, and the backhand was hit by the more advanced artillery of the Da Xiachao, pressed against the ground and rubbed them, making them suspicious of life.
Daxiachao did not pursue the victory, because he now occupies 70% of the land in the Eastern Continent, which is a bit beyond Daxiachao's control ability. If he eats it again, he may die. Now the most important thing is to carry out the assimilation exercise.
After the Five-Nation Alliance was beaten by the Great Summer Dynasty and became suspicious of life, it took half a year to get back on its feet and form an army again. Turn around and cross the Apocalypse Strait, which separates the eastern and western continents, and attack the countries in the western continent.
We can't beat the big summer, can't we beat you?
Facing the sudden attack of the Five-Nation Alliance, the countries in the Western Continent were bewildered. They, who have not completely completed the industrial revolution, are not the opponents of the Five-Power Alliance at all.
However, it turns out that war is the fastest way to promote the development of civilization. Under the death threat of the Five-Power Alliance, the countries of the Western Continent completed the industrial revolution in phase order.
The war between the two sides gradually became more intense, and the Five Kingdoms took it as soon as they saw it, and held on to the territory they had eaten.
There is no way for the countries in the Western Continent to do this Under the influence of the Eastern Continent, they also turned to fight the relatively backward Southern Continent and Northern Continent. The only difference is that they are way more bloody. They carried out large-scale killings on the southern and northern continents, seized commodity markets, seized raw material production areas, and enslaved local farmers.
The occupation of the Eastern Continent is to assimilate, expand the territory, and make the country stronger. On the other hand, the Western Continent was solely for burning, looting, and looting, and in the end, it even turned into pure killing and genocide. But they also amassed enormous resources in this way to make their country grow rapidly.
Da Xiachao saw that the Western Continent method was profitable, and joined the war of resource plundering. It's just that the Great Summer Dynasty did not plunder the southern and northern continents, but directly plundered the countries of the western continent. After all, to plunder in the way of the Western Continent, it is necessary to establish a colony, which requires time and energy management. Isn’t it more convenient to directly grab the ready-made?
In front of Da Xiachao's more advanced weapons, the Western Continent could only be beaten to the ground honestly. It even happened that Da Xia charged the navy with protection fees at their port!
In the end, the countries of the Western Continent couldn't bear it any longer. They united again and formed a huge sea fleet, intending to teach Da Xiachao a lesson.
Two months later, the countries of the Western Continent did not wait for the triumphant fleet, but waited for the imperial decree of the Great Summer Palace.
The content of the imperial decree probably means that either obediently pay tribute, or honestly be robbed.
In the year 5038 of the Great Summer Calendar, the First World War ended and the world pattern was set. The Great Summer Dynasty established its status as a world hegemon, enjoying huge amounts of resources from all over the world every year.
The world has thus formed such a food chain, the Great Summer Dynasty - the world's powerful countries - did not complete the industrial revolution and weak countries.
