Alien Empire Total War

"Let's go! Erek, let's go, the National Assembly has ordered the execution of the prisoner at the Law Square!"

"Don't linger, I can't wait to see how stupid those **** corrupt officials are hanged!"

On the streets of Ankerton, countless civilians ran to tell each other, and the good news that the corrupt officials who had been brought back from the south were hanged in the Law Square spread all over the streets and alleys. Clothes, followed the crowd to the Law Square in front of the National Court not far from the Sona Palace.

The Law Square existed more than 200 years ago. Before the National Court was built, it was the place where prisoners were executed. After the National Court was located in front of the square, the status of the execution ground was determined again, and finally the building was built. A semi-permanent gallows installation.

Considering the large number of prisoners, prisoners who were tried in the national courts and sentenced to death were not dragged to parade through the streets, as is traditional, but left the courthouse under the **** of court guards and were sent directly to the gallows in front of the court gate. put to death.

Soon, the not-so-big Law Square was crowded with citizens from all over the city. The gallows are covered with traces of the years, and it is hard to imagine how many unjust souls have died on this simple killing machine.

Under people's anticipation, the first prisoner to be sentenced to death was dragged by the court guards and walked out of the court with his legs vainly.

Seeing the prisoner, the crowd cursed loudly. Those who got close smashed the prepared rotten cabbage and stones at the prisoner, and the guards who dragged the prisoner were also smashed several times. The brigade soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to scold them, preventing them from disturbing the execution ground.

At the same time, there was a carriage with no family logo standing beside the street outside the Law Square. The door of the carriage was open, and the people sitting inside watched with interest the prisoner being dragged to the stage because he was too old. So frightened and so weak that it took several guards to put the rope around his neck.

"Your Excellency, is this what you call relaxation?"

Looking at the execution process in the distance, Aurel, who was sitting in the same carriage as Charlie, asked speechlessly.

"Isn't this relaxing enough?" Charlie didn't look away, still looking at the gallows full of history, even two years after he came to this world, he hasn't seen a real gallows scene. There just happened to be an opportunity to gain knowledge, so he came.

Hmm... As for Aurel, he just came along by accident.

"Hang him! Hang him! Hang him!"

While the two were talking, the guards on the gallows were also reading out the prisoner's personal information and the crimes he had committed. The crowd then shouted various slogans and gradually unified.

In the voice of the crowd, another guard pulled the mechanism, and the wooden board under the prisoner's feet was suddenly opened, and his body also fell heavily with inertia, but after falling a certain distance, he was restrained by the snare under his neck. , only to hear a crisp sound, the prisoner suddenly stopped moving.

This crisp sound seemed so insignificant in the bursts of shouts. Seeing the prisoner was hanged in the air, the crowd cheered, as if the person who was hanged in front of them was an enemy who had a **** feud with them. Same.

Well... to a certain extent, corrupt officials and civilians are indeed enemies.

After the first prisoner was hanged, the guards turned the pulley, pulled the prisoner up again, and closed the wooden plank underneath. The body of the prisoner with a fractured vertebra was removed from the snare and set aside for the priest of the Holy Spirit He prayed.

Witnessing a life disappearing in an instant, Charlie didn't feel any discomfort in his heart, but he also lost interest in it, and ordered the coachman to turn around and close the carriage door with his own hands.

"Um... oh yes, Aurel, what are you trying to say to me?" Charlie then remembered Aurel's search for his own purpose, turned to look at the Minister of the Admiralty, and asked.

"It's about the navy..." Olaer was a little helpless, "You may not believe it, I checked, and the number of naval warships in service is only maintained at 52, of which at least 20 are only suitable for Small sailing ships for offshore operations, and the heaviest tonnage is only two Tier IV battleships."

"What are your thoughts?" Charlie asked rhetorically.

"I think it is necessary to expand the size of our navy." Aurel said solemnly, "Although I am not a graduate of naval science, I am very aware of the importance of sea control to us, so let's take our territory, the Republic of Enkelland. Let’s just say, they are just a small country with a population of no more than three million, but they have hundreds of warships of all kinds, whether they are flagships, battleships, cruisers, mortar ships and sailboats, far exceeding ours.”

"Although there is no friction between our two countries now, the country's strong naval power is always a hidden danger, so I think it should be prepared early." He added.

Charlie nodded, agreeing with his idea~www.readwn.com~ and said: "You are right, the Republic of Enkelland is indeed a target that our navy needs to chase after."

After speaking, he changed the subject and said, "However, our focus is still on land, and the Okalos, Hildi and Becky are our main enemies, so in the near future our focus will still be on the land. On the Army."

This is also impossible. Although he wants to cover everything, the national finance will not allow him to do so. At present, in addition to the training of the army across the country, it also needs money to build public works and implement the social security system, not to mention that Charlie is going to Compulsory education has been universalized nationwide.

Compulsory education is a big spender. Whether it is the construction of schools, the training and wages of teachers, the writing and ordering of textbooks, etc., it takes a lot of money, and domestic knowledge is mainly concentrated in the wealthy class, except for a few families. Except for wealthy commoner families, most people are illiterate, and being able to write their own names is a big victory.

Not only because of poverty, but the common people's thinking is still on the level that having one more child is equivalent to adding another labor force that can make money. When the children are older, they are directly asked to do odd jobs as apprentices. It is not at all to send them to study. possible. In this kind of starting from scratch, Charlie wants to promote compulsory education in the country, which shows how difficult a policy...
