Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 161, It's Not a Fuel-Efficient Lamp

? Under the guidance of William, the Kazahi cabinet took the first step of reform, and the situation in the German-Russian United Kingdom began to question.

After the stock market was closed, the number of people who committed suicide by jumping off the building was greatly reduced. As long as there is a glimmer of life, who really wants to die?

However, the government's direct intervention in the financial market has also made many capitalists very dissatisfied, especially the bankers.

Originally, they wanted to cut their tails off to survive, preserve their vitality as much as possible, or even take advantage of the fire, but now they can't do it.

Due to the government's intervention, it is too late for capitalists to transfer assets at this time, and the bank's money must prioritize the deposit safety of small depositors, and their funds are equivalent to being frozen.

There is no way, the harm of both is the lesser. At this time, Prime Minister Kadasi still has a responsibility. In order to prevent the new regime from collapsing, he stood on the opposite side of the capitalists.

"Your Majesty, with the strength of the current government, I am afraid that they are not yet the opponents of the capitalists. If we want them to suppress the bourgeoisie, we have to increase their hands!" the staff member Farr suggested.

William nodded. This is North America. Before the split, a large country with a population of over 100 million actually only needed less than 100,000 standing troops, which is not as good as the armed forces controlled by the consortium!

After the split, not to mention, the army of the United Kingdom of Germany and Russia came directly from the state militia professionally, and the number was only one infantry division that was not full.

There is only such a small amount of troops in total. Once the poor plan is seen, even if the Kazaxi cabinet wants to use violence to control violence, it will not have the strength?

The most powerful force in the German-Russian United Kingdom at present is the 10,000 Janissaries in the hands of William, who can wipe out all these enemies at any time. This is the confidence he has been pushing behind the scenes.

Without this guard, who would care about him, an outsider king?

Second, is the kingdom's army. This pocket version of the army is not monolithic. After William ascended the throne, he bought people's hearts inside. Many people's allegiance object has become the king.

Without William's support, once the situation changed, it would be very difficult for the cabinet government to mobilize this army.

This is all self-inflicted by the Kazahi cabinet. They are used to party politics, and they don't attach importance to the army at all.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you want to pay attention to it. The cabinet government changes every few years, and the cronies have not been cultivated before they change.

Usually the army remains neutral in cabinet elections.

There are no such troubles when you get closer to the king. Even a short king has a lot of resources in his hands, let alone William?

These resources are definitely not comparable to the government, but if you want to promote a few people in the army, you can still do it easily.

Including the high-level military, who wants to be suppressed by the cabinet all the time? They are not reconciled to the fact that the highest military officer is actually a civil servant?

Once William is in power, they must be reused. Without them, who will check and balance the cabinet?

Everyone knows that as long as the command of the army is stripped from the government, the restrictions on the royal power of the constitutional monarchy will be greatly reduced.

In addition to the army, there is the police, and the elements here are even more complicated. The police forces of the German-Russian United Kingdom are not directly under the Yu cabinet government, and of course they also have command power.

For example: The police in the small town are hired by the town finance. Although they also obey the orders of the higher-level police station, it is the local government of the small town that pays them.

And the congressmen who decide their wages are basically put forward by local capitalists. When the government confronts the funders, we can't expect their position.

In comparison, the thugs in the hands of the capitalists are actually more powerful in combat, otherwise they would not be able to suppress the strikes of the workers, but because they served under different capitalists, they did not become a military force.

There are also many contradictions between capitalists and capitalists. Without the coordination of large financial groups, don't expect them to work together.

Now that the Khadashi cabinet has moved their cheese, who knows what the capitalists will do? Assassinating the Prime Minister is just one of the options!

It is more likely to prop up the opposition party and let them get out of power. This is the routine operation.

Playing assassination, in fact, is breaking the rules of the game, usually for the losers.

Capitalists themselves are members of the rule system, and they are all vested interests. If they break the rules, they will actually harm their interests.

"Let our people side with the Khadashi government when necessary, but we still have to stir up conflicts between them before doing so.

In the end, if the two sides can fight, it will be even more perfect. We can use the knives of the Kazahi government to eliminate some hidden dangers! "William said harshly.

When he said this, he saw that the Kazaxi cabinet still had a bit of hatred for iron and steel. The fighting power of their current cabinet was too weak, and they were restrained by the scattered capitalists.

If it is in several eastern countries, where big conglomerates gather, then the government will become a rubber stamp in the hands of capitalists?

"Your Majesty, we are already making arrangements. It won't be long before they will face each other directly, but if this happens, civil war is likely to break out!" Farr reminded

"It doesn't matter, this is just a rebellion. Even if the situation gets out of control, the government will take the blame. When the matter is over, let them go!" William said indifferently

As long as the speed of action is a little faster, it will not cause too much impact. At that time, as long as the government is changed, these things will be taken over.

Anyway, everyone now knows that the ruling Khadashi cabinet, the king, has no rights at all and never attends government meetings, which is the best proof.

Khadashi's cabinet excluded him from the scope of power, but he didn't know that this was exactly what he needed?

William has seen too many cases of this kind of power seizure. His father is the best example. He wiped out all the powerful factions in the country and threw all the scapegoats to the cabinet.

After all the people were killed, finally he, the king, came belatedly, dismissed the cabinet in the Congress, sent them out of the country, and then the world was peaceful.

This operation has become a compulsory course for European kings. There are already many imitators. Anyway, if you succeed, you will make a lot of money. If you fail, you can come back next time.

On the surface, the king did nothing. During the entire process of seizing power, the king only played once when the overall situation was determined, and spent the rest of the time playing soy sauce.

This is a classic case of complete safety and no side effects. There is only one prerequisite, find a cabinet that is willing to be a bad guy, and resist everything!

"Your Majesty, the Kazashi cabinet is too weak. I am afraid that even if we provoke a conflict between the two sides, they will not dare to raise the butcher's knife!" The intelligence chief Monas said with a frown

This is the most critical part. Few people in political struggles go to such extremes. Khadashi's cabinet was elected, not through a military coup. How could they have the courage?

If the cabinet refuses to raise the butcher's knife, then all these efforts are useless, hidden dangers still cannot be cleared up, and there will be another outbreak in the future.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the conflict between the two sides breaks out, we can force them to make this decision. If it doesn't work, we can just fake their order.

Everyone is dead, and they can't deny it if they want to. If they are too stubborn, the remnants of the capitalists can also assassinate the prime minister! "William said indifferently.

Anyway, everyone knows that Kazahi's cabinet is his political opponents, and they are not heroes. William does not need to spend a lot of money to keep them.

The capitalists were almost dead, and the culprit's cabinet was killed by their revenge. No matter how much hatred the remaining people had in their hearts, it was almost dissipated.

Of course, the existence of a prime minister who is alive and attracts hatred is more valuable to William. How can his greatness be highlighted without comparison?

Happiness is all about comparison. There are no negative examples. How can the public know that a happy life is hard-won?

...

I don’t know William alone in taking action. Peter in Alaska, George in Hawaii, and Caesar in the South Pacific Kingdom are all like him, and they are hurrying to make plans.

alaska

The southeast and south-central regions have a temperate climate, while the interior has a continental climate. The west and southwest are affected by the ocean, with strong cold winds. The Arctic Circle has a polar climate, and the temperature is below zero throughout the year.

In this mining kingdom, there is basically no industry at all. Although the economic crisis has also affected here, but here are all mine bosses, so the impact is not great.

In a truly sparsely populated land, even if you are unemployed, you can go hunting, or you can go fishing. The local population is only 500,000 to 600,000, how can it be possible to starve to death?

The status of workers here is estimated to be the highest in America, and a lot of mine bosses are vying for important people. If one is unhappy, he will go out and do it alone, and he will not die of hunger anyway.

Forced suppression? People who can hang out in this place, who is afraid of whom? Don't even dare to fight for your life, are you still an Alaskan?

The most chaotic state in the United States, the state with the largest number of accidental deaths every year, and the state with the lowest detection rate in the United States.

Now that we are independent, this situation has not changed, and it has even become more chaotic. If you find that two groups of people are fighting, don't be surprised, this is normal operation.

Most of the conflicts occurred over the issue of mines. After Alaska became independent, the local power faction directly hacked the industry of the American consortium, and changed from migrant workers to mine owners.

Naturally, the consortium, which suffered heavy losses, was not reconciled. After all these years, the conflicts between the two sides have never stopped.

In this small kingdom, there is only one regular army regiment, and the rest are armed by mine bosses. It can be said that since the founding of the country, it has been in chaos.

The government army can only maintain the safety of the city, and the affairs outside the city have nothing to do with them, and they can't control it if they want to.

The arrival of Peter, the king, pinned the hope of the local people who longed for peace. Many people hoped that he, the king, could restrain the chaos in the country.

In terms of the beginning, Peter is the best of all the brothers, and there is no need to play any falsehoods. The government of the Kingdom of Alaska is a puppet government, and he can directly bully it.

Of course, Peter is not that superficial, and their political grades are still good.

Ferdinand often educated them:

Don't just play politics with politicians, you can't fight a group of them alone.

The next sentence is: Don't simply play military with reckless men, they will splatter blood five steps in a rage.

Therefore, when William dealt with the government, he provoked internal conflicts, and then used force to break the situation violently and establish his own general trend.

Now Peter chooses to play politics with these slag mine bosses who have exploded in combat effectiveness and failed in politics.

"Your Majesty, the plan to expand the army has been completed, and now a division of the National Defense Forces has been fully staffed, but the government's finances may not last long!" Prime Minister Vidin said in embarrassment

Before Peter came, he was a puppet of the mine bosses. After Peter came, he decisively changed his employer.

No matter what his ability is, this reaction and judgment are destined to prevent him from doing too badly.

"Don't worry, after the new tax law is implemented, we don't have to worry about money!" Peter said calmly

Is the government of the Kingdom of Alaska short of money?

Lack, really lack!

However, this is all based on the premise that taxes cannot be paid in place. Once the tax system returns to normal, the kingdom will immediately transition to a developed level.

Peter's behavior now seems to many people to be militaristic. With the current financial revenue of the kingdom, it is too difficult to support an army of one division.

The infantry division of the Kingdom of Alaska is not a small establishment, but a large establishment of up to 27,000 people, which accounts for almost 5% of the local population.

If it weren't for the outbreak of the economic crisis, he might not even be satisfied with recruiting people. The locals don't have a glorious tradition of joining the army and the whole family.

Everyone was waiting to see his jokes, and some people had even set up a handicap, betting when he would not be able to hold out and go bankrupt!

As for solving domestic problems by force? His 10,000 imperial guards were enough to sweep the country, and adding so many troops would be a waste!

Many mine owners are ready to fight a protracted war. If the king wants their lives, they will fight a protracted war with the king outside and form an armed alliance.

It's a pity that Peter ignored them at all. Apart from some small reforms since he succeeded to the throne, they did not harm their interests too much.

That being the case, everyone is out to make money, so of course there is no need to fight against the king. There is no external pressure, because the internal conflict alliance is now torn apart.

So far, all of Peter's reforms have been aimed at the city, such as strengthening public security management, re-planning the city, and adjusting the taxation of some industries.

Anyway, there are no confiscated mines, nor are they prohibited from mining, including mining taxation.

Before starting to act, Peter had already used his nails in the alliance to disintegrate the armed alliance from within.

Many smart people have already chosen to serve the king. It can be said that if Peter wants to use force now, these people can be dealt with without any effort.

However, King Peter still did not take action. There is no other reason, the main reason is that the threat of these people is too small, don't look like these people are powerful.

In essence, does the largest local faction in Alaska have a thousand armed forces?

The answer is: no!

Raising soldiers is very expensive, especially for private troops of this nature, the cost is several times higher than that of national troops, otherwise their loyalty cannot be guaranteed!

For no reason, who wants to spend so much money on this?

The original minerals in Alaska were all owned by the American consortium. After independence, they were divided up by these people. They are all a group of upstarts. There are no so-called big names in the local area.

Usually, a mine boss only has a thug team of one hundred and eighty people, and it is enough to be able to form a deterrent to the workers.

Their biggest enemy is the Soviet Union next door. In order not to be revolutionized, they do not squeeze the workers seriously, and they often come out to put on a show to buy people's hearts.

Peter, the king, was chosen by them to resist the invasion of Soviet Russia, and of course he also meant to guard against the Japanese.

With external threats, internal conflicts were suppressed, and Peter's reforms proceeded smoothly.

Cutting flesh with a blunt knife is painful, but after a while, it is not fatal, is it?

Everyone is not a fool, everyone knows Peter's conspiracy, but they have no choice?

If the government's strength is not strengthened, they will not be able to face external threats. Whether it is the Japanese or Soviet Russia, they are the ones who will kill them.

And King Peter was much more merciful, he just wanted to take away a small part of their money, which was still within their tolerance.

"Your Majesty, do you want to suspend the implementation of this new tax law? If it is implemented now, I am afraid it will cause a backlash from the people!" Prime Minister Vidin suggested

"It will be before this, and it will not be soon! We throw out all these evidences, and most of the people will be on our side!" Peter said with a smile, pointing to the two documents on the table

Prime Minister Vidin looked at the past, and then thought about it.

As early as the division of the United States, Alaska has been circulating the theory of the Japanese threat and the Soviet Russian threat, but the situation at that time was not as serious as it is now.

The Russian Civil War is over, and Soviet Russia has the ability to attack them. Now that the economic crisis has broken out, the Japanese radicals have come to power.

In fact, until now, there are not a few spies from the two countries captured by the Kingdom of Alaska.

At this time, Peter throws out the American strategy of the Japanese and the American strategy of the Soviet Union, which will definitely arouse everyone's sense of crisis.

So many years of public opinion guidance are not in vain. As long as most people accept this theory and are willing to cooperate with the government's actions, the remaining little rubbish will be the target.

At this time, Peter will not be merciful. Once he makes a move, it will be the end of these people.

Whether the Japanese government or the Soviet Union will really attack them at this time is not important anymore. The most important thing is that these two documents are true.

It’s just that this is only an alternative plan for the two countries. It is not easy to search for the Soviet Union, but it is easy to search for the Japanese one. These are not top-secret information. There are many similar internal plans in the Japanese Army University.

However, it is enough to fool people. Not to mention ordinary people, even experts and scholars who specialize in international relations cannot judge whether it is true or false.

First of all, Soviet Russia is a scourge. It is the target of being hacked every day. It cannot be judged by common sense. What is their internal situation is also a mystery!

Japan is not much better. They don’t need to do too many things without going through the brain. Now everyone is numb.
