"Has Dad forgotten the great cause we've been looking forward to?" Little Victor said to Victor with expectant eyes.

"Now that the empire is weak and the inheritance status of the royal family of Yongdalim has been lost, it is a good time for us to establish ourselves as emperors. What a great opportunity this is, you should cherish it, Dad! Now you just need to raise your arms, the southeast Officials big and small, bourgeois factions and warlords, will definitely support you to achieve your great cause and divide the south into dynasties." Little Victor said with a big pie.

"At that time, you will not only be No. 1 in the history of the Democratic Republic, but you will appear as the founding emperor of the country, and your biography will be written for you alone, and it will be passed down for thousands of years. Dad, you can't give up easily."

"Your statement is also very good." Marshal Victor sighed again.

"Son, let me ask you, would you still support me if I became the supreme emperor but didn't make you a prince?" Victor asked solemnly.

"Father, are you kidding me? Are you the only son of mine? If you don't pass it on to me, who else will you pass it on to?" Little Victor asked, pointing at himself in astonishment.

"Pass it to Sun Boyang." Victor also said seriously.

"If you don't do this, the empire will be fleeting and dissipate like dew. Only by naming your uncle as the successor, will the empire exist for a long time, and I will not be criticized as the king of the dynasty."

"Son, if this is the case, can you still support it?"

Incompatible within 299

"But, but in that case, how can you guarantee that Uncle will pass on the throne to me?" Little Victor asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Pass it to you? Why did you pass it on to you?" Victor asked with a strange look on his face.

"I am your son, the royal inheritance, if not passed on to me, who else can I give it to?" Little Victor hurriedly explained.

"If you pass it on to you, you will be able to defend the world?" Victor asked coldly.

"If you have an idea at this time, what about the Northern Expeditionary Army? What about the Central South? What about the many democrats in the country? At this time, if the empire decides to go down in one go and attack while in chaos. Who's going to defend against this?" Victor continued.

"If you really want to, there is only one way. Control the power internally, contact Zhongnan externally, and promise Sun Boyang as the successor. Otherwise, how can you become the Supreme?" Victor said disdainfully.

"Walk to the left, and the warlords and officials will be in turmoil, and the landlords will oppose it. If you walk to the right, the Central South and Northern Expeditions we rely on will oppose us again."

"It's a dilemma." Victor sighed.

"Dad, since we got the news from Zhongnan that they decided to focus on the Southwest, what is our plan?" Little Victor asked, changing the subject.

"They are mainly attacking the southwest, and the journey is too far for us. And when the Northern Expeditionary Army will fight away on their territory, I'm afraid there will be accidents." Victor replied after thinking for a while while holding his crutches.

"Then, we will split up a road to hold the line of defense against the center. The other road is to attack the north with all our strength and take the two northern provinces, so as to plot the northwest and west, and grab those places before the central and southern regions."

"Then Central Province, shall we not consider attacking?"

"The brave men in the center are too strong. With the current 15 troops, it is simply nonsense to compete with his seven legions and [-] troops." Victor shook his head and said.

"15 troops, in addition to the Shivanov Kraken Legion guarding the imperial capital. If it is said to be dispatched in full force, it is not difficult for the brave to send 20 troops to attack."

"He doesn't dare to do this now. One is that there is war in the west and he needs troops to guard against it. The other is that he has to beware of the central and southern regions, and the third is that he has to allocate one to guard against the north. The actual troops he can use now are only four legions, of course not Dare to fight me easily."

"However, if our army makes a large-scale attack on the north, if he is in a hurry, he may transfer all the troops from the west, north, and central south to attack our part. At that time, the central south will be busy attacking the southwest, and the rescue will not be timely. Those officials and warlords can surrender. , but what about you and my father and son? Can he accommodate us?" Victor sighed.

"Then we are going to attack the northern front line and compete with the Earl of Windsor and Marshal Ben Shaming?" Little Victor asked again.

"If you can solve it diplomatically, don't really fight. Wars serve the government. Marshal Ben Shamin and I are old friends, and our army has no enmity with the Earl of Windsor. It must be the best to win over first."

"If the north is fixed, then the three sides encircle and attack the central province, and the situation will be reversed."

......

"In the southeast, there have been conflicts for a long time. The warlords and officials just want to promote the marshal as the leader of the alliance, and they don't want to fundamentally reform. Whether it is in politics or people's livelihood. But if there is no reform, how can we talk about a democratic republic? If the local countryside remains the same It is controlled by the landlords, and the workers in the city are also squeezed by the factory owners, so what is the point of our existence?" Weiss said to Sun Boyang and Mao Qi with a helpless expression.

"Actually, you should take advantage of this time to integrate." Sun Boyang nodded.

"Because Zhongnan has been set up and the brave are busy with other things, you should carry out some consolidation. Carry out rent reduction and interest rate reduction, and implement the factory working system. These are all things you should do. Even if you can't implement it in the warlord's territory, you should It must be carried out in a place that you can control." Sun Boyang said.

"Marshal Victor, he is timid. He wants to support us, but he is afraid that the old forces are too strong. Therefore, he has been unable to carry it out firmly. Mr. Sun Boyang, please persuade Marshal Victor to strengthen his confidence." Weiss requested.

"His idea is nothing more than two plans. Weiss, you should control the right to speak, control the newspapers, and be wary of all the arguments that advocate the old forces and ascend to the top. If you can stabilize the right to speak, you will spare no effort Marshal Victor will believe him if he preaches a democratic republic." Sun Boyang said with a smile.

"Is this, using rumors to overwhelm the other party?" Xiyes asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's the truth." Sun Boyang nodded and said.

"At present, the democratic republic is being implemented more and more, science is changing with each passing day, and machines are updated every day. Our newspapers, information transmission is also faster and faster. There are more and more literate people, and more and more people will read newspapers to learn about the latest news in the future. Many. Therefore, it is extremely important to control the right to speak, and he will bring the situation to a favorable range." Sun Boyang said while riding a horse.

"Marshal Victor, I know him better. He is not a very stubborn type of person. He has ideas and ambitions. Rather than saying that he wants to be a king, he wants to be famous forever. He is now facing The situation is nothing more than this, to the right is the supreme supreme, and to the left is the democratic republic No. 1. In this case, you must spare no effort to preach to him, and don't give the enemy and the old forces a chance. Don't I feel that this is a shameless act, and for the sake of the general public, using propaganda offensive is also one of the ways." Sun Boyang reminded.

"I'm afraid that those old forces will do whatever they can." Weiss said with a heavy heart.

"You still have the Northern Expeditionary Army." Sun Boyang said with a smile.

"The Northern Expedition is an important pillar for carrying out reforms. Your Demercotte must confirm the political loyalty of the Northern Expedition, confirm that they support the revolution, and support reform. As long as you hold the gun tightly, then hold the pen tightly, the so-called The old forces are just a bunch of local dogs and chickens."

"We're here." Xiyes pointed to the front and said.

......

"Mr. Sun Boyang."

Ticheren and several well-dressed young men rode over to salute and greet each other, followed by several generals in military uniforms and officials in black suits.The reception standard this time is still very high. After all, the important inviter of the Progress Conference, or the number one inviter is Sun Boyang. Even if Demercotte has much opinion on this Central South leader, he must receive it in an unconventional way.

"Thank you comrades for your reception, why don't you see Marshal Victor?" Sun Boyang also saluted and greeted.

"Marshal Victor is just recovering from a serious illness, so it is inconvenient to go out of the city to receive him. The Marshal is waiting in the city, and you will see him later." A very low-ranking officer said salutingly.

"Oh, that's right." Sun Boyang nodded.

"Marshal Victor's recovery from illness is really a blessing for the revolution. With him able to preside over the work himself, both the Northern Expedition and the revolution will be back on track."

"What you said is very true. Marshal Victor is back to health, and my burden is much lighter. I finally had some rest time during these days, and I can really focus on the reform. Now the generation of Guangming City Nine out of ten reforms related to farmers have been completed. Rent and interest reductions have been implemented, and a lot of land has been redistributed. In factories, wages have also been raised to help workers. In addition, a lot of infrastructure has been done. A lot of public construction has been done." Ticheren and Sun Boyang said while riding horses side by side into the city.

"This is a very good thing. Farmers must be helped. Please continue to implement the reduction of rent and interest rate and promote it to the outside world." Sun Boyang agreed.

"Workers and peasants are the foundation of a country. If you ignore their wishes and demands and oppress them, it is absolutely against the rule. You Demercotte are doing very well now, step by step Improve the living standards of workers and farmers, and formulate a series of human rights and democracy bills. Although our directions are different, it is also a very impressive result.”

"As long as it is for the people, people with different ideas can unite. For example, we, in the final analysis, can always be united."

"That's right, we must build a democratic republic in the future and separate it from the old era." Ticheren also said with a smile.

"Hmph, look at their appearance." A general said dissatisfiedly to the people around him.

"Look, it's just a gang. What a democratic republic, for the sake of workers and peasants, they are all the same peasant bandits. I think Ticheren has lost his mind. He is already wearing the same trousers as Zhongnan." The general said dissatisfied.

"I'll meet them." Another general with a mustache rode forward and said.

"Mr. Sun Boyang, I am one of the generals in the southeast. I am very glad to meet you today." The general with the mustache and Sun Boyang shook hands with a smile.

"I don't know your name." Sun Boyang asked with a smile.

"Gordon, Lu. Gordon." The general with two mustaches replied.

"Sir, your concept of a democratic republic is very progressive and advanced. I am a rough man who only knows how to fight, and I don't understand these concepts very well. But if the tax on food is lowered, where should the country collect taxes and food? ?” Gordon asked.

"As for the reduction of rent and interest, I'm not saying it's not good, but for those sincere farmers, the loans they have already given out have been reduced for no reason? I think it's still a bit inappropriate. It's not appropriate to be so radical, right?" Ge said. Take the stand.

"Mr. Ticheren always said that we generals do not support his reforms, but I am afraid that Mr. Ticheren is not clear about the situation in the countryside. It doesn't mean that reforms can be reformed there, and there are many things. For example Speaking of which, if we generals reform, where will we collect food for the Northern Expeditionary Army?"

300 Hidden dangers

"Oh? The general really thinks so?" After hearing this, Sun Boyang looked at Mao Qi and other comrades behind him and asked with a smile.

"It's a general, but it's just a group of warlord leaders." Ticheren reminded Sun Boyang in a low voice.

"I can see it. Obviously, all warlords are like this." Sun Boyang waved his hand with a chuckle to indicate that there is no need to be nervous.

"That's what I think. Once our honest and honest farmers reduce their rent, it must be an act of reducing their property for no reason. Doesn't this violate our Demercotte ideas? Private property is sacred and inviolable .In addition, if we talk about lowering the grain tax, where will so many Northern Expeditionary troops get food? There are so many people up and down, all with their mouths open. So much food, can’t be created out of thin air?” Gordon said again.

"Well, what you said does have its own reasons." Sun Boyang deliberately pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded in praise.

"Look, even Mr. Sun Boyang has the same meaning." Gordon said proudly as he was overjoyed.

"What do you think of workers' benefits, wage increases, work-related injuries and other things?" Sun Boyang asked again.

"It's still the same view. In the old days, with that little money, the work was more tiring. Aren't workers able to live? If you give them too many benefits, they will be lazy and don't work hard. Now It's the time of war, so this is absolutely impossible." Gordon also seemed to be very smart and wise to answer.

"Oh, that's the point of view." Sun Boyang looked at the looming figure in front of him and said sideways.

"General, what was your background before you became a soldier?" Sun Boyang asked.

"Before I joined the army, I was also a military family of the era. My father was a soldier, and so was my grandfather." Gordon said proudly.

"It means that you have never suffered, nor have you ever farmed or worked?" Sun Boyang asked casually.

"No, I have been a soldier since I was an adult, and it has never changed." Gordon said again.

"If you ask me, even those farmers and workers are by no means as miserable as our soldiers. I have suffered a lot more than them." Gordon continued.

"Did you climb up step by step from soldier? From light infantry? Armored infantry?"

"No, I've always been an officer..."

"Alright then, General, we can talk about this issue." Sun Boyang nodded and said.

"General, you said that the reduction of rent and interest is harmful to the interests of the landlords. Then I have another way of saying that the loans issued by the landlords are usually far beyond the repayment range of the poor peasants, like a mountain." , heavy, on the shoulders of the peasants." Sun Boyang asked, gesturing with both hands.

"I mean honest farmers..."

"Ah yes, honest farmer." Sun Boyang also nodded.

"Then the landlords, um, the honest farmers, they give out high loans and interest, forcing the farmers to turn around them and have to rack their brains to repay the debts. Even so many farmers still can't pay the debts, It can only be delayed again and again. But if the interest rate is lowered spontaneously, the other landlords will quit, and the big landlords will quit, because this is a regulation that they made together. Whatever the moneylenders, they just need the rules not to be broken."

"Our reduction of rent and interest rate is enforced through coercion. It not only helps the farmers, but also protects the interests of those moneylenders. From this aspect, we have broken the curse of high interest rates. Isn't it helping people? Is it really harming their interests? I don’t think so.” Sun Boyang shook his head and said.

"Your words are far-fetched." Gordon said unconvinced.

"You feel far-fetched, but this is exactly the purpose of our actions, which is to fundamentally liberate production and liberate from the old production relations. In this way, those moneylenders can really collect rent and interest without being punished by big landlords. After the suppression, the poor peasants will have the money to do other things, isn’t this a happy ending?” Sun Boyang said with a smile.

"Then you said, what's the matter with reducing the food tax?" Gordon asked a little anxiously.

"The reduction of grain tax is the same. Farmers can't afford such a high grain tax. It's better to lower it directly to give farmers a rest time. After farmers get a rest, their remaining money will also be circulated to In society, to buy industrial products and others. Ultimately, this will also generate income for the country, which is a matter of mutual benefit.”

"Moreover, the reduction of food tax is bound to be accompanied by reforms within the government. The reforms within the government are carried out together with the reduction of food tax. The previous dynasties and kingdoms formulated it well, but once it is implemented below, there will be problems. The amount of grain harvested far exceeds the requirements. As long as these two points can be done well, the reduction can be truly reduced to give the farmers time to breathe and adjust, and the government is clean and efficient, then the Northern Expeditionary Army will not be short of grain.”

"Reducing, sometimes it can promote the development of food. Moreover, there are many paddy fields in the southeast, and the climate is pleasant. The rivers are criss-crossed and the water network is intertwined. There is absolutely no problem in supplying food to the Northern Expedition. The self-respect of the soldiers everywhere is also one of the main reasons, right?" Sun Boyang said coldly.

"You!" Gordon glared.

"What do you want to do?" Felicia asked as he rode up to them, his eyes burning with orange-red light.

"General Gordon, as long as you have been in contact with the sufferings of the world and understand the situation at the bottom, you will never speak for the conservatives today. You have held important positions as an officer since you were an adult, and you don't even understand the life of the light infantry. , I don’t even know the hardships of the soldiers at the bottom in the old society. Let alone understand the sufferings of the poor peasants, how the blood and sweat of the workers are squeezed out.” Sun Boyang waved his hand to signal Felicia to step back and didn’t care He also stared at Gordon and said.

"The purpose of Demercotte is to implement democracy and republic, and to untie the chains for farmers, workers, businessmen, and soldiers. General Gordon, you should have understood everything we did today when you took the oath." While secretly admiring Sun Boyang's sharp words, Cheren also stood up and spoke righteously.

"We must not tolerate the various situations of the old society being brought into a democratic society. General Gordon, you'd better understand the righteousness, accept Xie's assignment, obey Xie's arrangement, and stop calling yourself a warlord. " Ticheren said sternly.

"You!" General Gordon said angrily, blushing.

"Hmph, Ticheren, look at you, it's really hard to tell, are you a Leszek member or a Demercott member! Let me tell you, since you are so enthusiastic, why don't you just go to Zhongnan? Why are you still making compromises with people like us who you don't like?" Another general also stood up and said tearfully.

"I'm not going because my theory is somewhat different from that of Mr. Sun Boyang. I want to implement my ideas in the southeast to prove that there is another way for a democratic republic." Ticheren glanced at Sun Boyang and said to the two warlords.

"What's more, I want to rescue the workers, peasants, merchants and soldiers in the southeast province and implement democracy. You warlords must be wiped out." Ticheren pointed at Gordon and said.

"Zhuzi Angan!" Gordon wanted to draw his gun angrily, but Felicia was faster. She jumped off the horse and jumped to Gordon's back, grabbed Gordon's hand with one hand and twisted it gently. He disarmed.Then her eyes widened again, and she opened her mouth to gather magical elemental energy, about to spit towards Gordon.

"Felicia, stop!" Sun Boyang shouted hastily.

"Total!" The light in Felicia's eyes went out, and she looked at Sun Boyang with aggrieved eyes, but her hands kept moving, and she pressed Gordon on the horse's back to prevent him from getting up.

"We are here as guests. Even if General Gordon has objections, we must not be violent." Sun Boyang waved his hand with a smile.

"But he drew the gun," Felicia argued.

"Nothing." Sun Boyang said calmly.

"Yes, yes, nothing." Another warlord also quickly smoothed things over.

"Hmph." Felicia snorted dissatisfiedly and jumped back on the horse again, rode back to Sun Boyang's side and stared at Gordon silently, staring like a poisonous snake, making Gordon's back chill.It's not that Gordon didn't intend to resist just now. He tried his best to resist the first moment Felicia grabbed his wrist, but Felicia's strength is like the sea, and his little stream strength can't shake Fei. Licia, she can only obediently let her go.

"General Gordon was also confused for a while, Mr. Sun Boyang, don't be angry, everything is in the overall situation." The warlord said with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"I think it's true. The general's gun just fell because the holster was loose. Just now, Felicia just prevented the general from falling." Sun Boyang also shook hands with the warlord with a smile.

"We won't accompany you, we'll go see the Marshal first." The warlord and several officials saluted disheartenedly and said.

"A bunch of bastards, they are lawless!" Ticheren said to Sun Boyang with an ugly expression.

"Warlords, it's like this. Once their interests are damaged, they will naturally be angry." Sun Boyang looked at the backs of those people and smiled lightly.

"In short, we might as well go back." Felicia tugged at Sun Boyang's sleeve and asked.

"No, Felicia, you don't have to worry, nothing will happen." Sun Boyang and the others dismounted one after another, and approached with the gentleman in the marshal uniform in front.

"The incident this time is not a big deal. But it is also for us and for you. Comrade Ticheren, if your internal problems are not resolved early, in the end, it is very likely to lead to division and catastrophe .”
