Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

"It's a good thing that the people are full of patriotism, but anyone should have a degree. Is the lesson of the old kingdom still not deep enough? Now it's hard to fight the empire to death!"

Minerva resisted anger and repeatedly pressed his fingers against the painful forehead. If it weren't for the second half of the hearing to be present, she was worried that excessive fanfare would make her makeup go away. She really wanted to turn off the table directly at the House of Representatives hearing, and then scolded out some swear words that were not suitable for ladies.

The flower praying mantis on the side-the senator who has changed the name of "Astorford" now also feels the same.

"Everyone knows clearly that this is not the time to turn over with the empire. It is only a temporary rebound after a long period of emotional depression, and it will naturally subside after a while. The problem is..."

"The problem is that some **** want to succumb to the flames by inciting anti-imperialism."

Minerva seemed to spit out saliva and said with disgust:

"The general election is coming, and the more extreme the voice, the more eye-catching. Anyway, they don’t have to face all kinds of problems and pressures. Speaking boldly can attract votes. If you are lucky, you can become a majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives, or even further. Achieve party rotation. Even if they fail to achieve these goals, they will not lose anything. There is no more profitable business than this."

"From the old kingdom to the republic, although the country name and system have been changed, some things are still familiar recipes and familiar flavors."

The speaker was the larvae who changed her name to Anne, and the identity of the House of Representatives did not allow her to change her usual sharp way of speaking. Surprisingly, this strong posture made her quite popular among male voters (Li Lin: Charlemagne really swayed masochism, and did not listen to what they said, and it was necessary for the whip to drop wax to communicate normally... …).

In the House of Representatives for a long time to deal with the scumbags that are full of waves, Anne is very clear what the guys who are singing "freedom, equality, fraternity, patriotism, self-discipline, dedication" are all.

Ambitious young politicians, frustrated political speculators, outdated actors, compradors, corporate brokers, senior lawyers, secretaries of former politicians, political practitioners transitioning from doctors,'revolutionary youths' from various countries...

The vast majority in the House of Representatives are of this sort.

The emergence of the republic was a clear stream with a wonderful "chemical reaction" to the old world under the **** of kingship or monarchy. The pursuit of freedom and fairness in various countries has been suppressed for a long time. While the empire was born, bringing the old world a "new order", some people were thinking and groping for another path. Under the high pressure of the conservative authorities, any form of thinking and exploration are expressly prohibited. The emergence of the Republic is an "unexpected joy" for the governments of various countries and the "revolutionary masses". The government celebrates the discovery of an ideal garbage dump for young people who are full of enthusiasm and oppression (they ask for it). It is a joy to discover the ideal concrete form. So after the Dunkirk retreat, the second wave of immigrants arrived.

As young people who are dissatisfied due to unsatisfactory lives or hopes for a better life step on the territory of the Republic, various political associations have sprung up in every corner of the Republic. In a republic that guarantees freedom of expression and allows people to speak freely, these associations provide a safe haven for people who hold various views and positions and can freely discuss and instigate political issues. It can be said that it is in the Republic that the broad masses of democratic reformists have given full play to the value of political associations and raised the public's enthusiasm and willingness to participate in politics.

However, speaking freely is essentially the same as its opposite, belly-smashing. From the perspective of an empire that considers administrative efficiency to be an overwhelming priority, many political societies have no practical significance, whether it be an empire or a republic, but simply provide a place for people to complain and blame. Satisfy the people's "participation in politics". Using a relatively easy-to-understand analogy, that is, these societies are no different from bbs and forums in the Internet era. The value to society is limited to these organizations and facilities to accommodate a large number of idlers and idlers, avoiding these people from running on the streets to play ancient Confusion, causing real harm to public order.

This is the original intention of the existence of political associations. However, the founders of the Republic overestimated the qualities of the people, underestimated the lower moral limits of senior members of the political associations and the ability to pursue power, so they learned a solid lesson.

The people are always forgetful. Even though the emperor’s terror remains in their memory, the devastating force that swept all over is still a lingering nightmare, but it may be too far away from the empire, or it may be suppressed for too long. After the emotional rebound. In short, the "Rhineland" incident successfully detonated the people's hatred of the empire. Many citizens of the Republic who were enthusiastic about politics but lacked common sense were stirred up. Ignorant and fearless, they are enthusiastically involved in various political associations and salon activities, and based on this, they also believe that they have also contributed to the progress of the country. In this process, what the leaders of various associations do is not to inculcate the facts and correct ideas to the people, but to promote and inflame the flames.

Usually, the leaders of the association are people with higher education, such as doctors or lawyers. The grassroots participants are mostly the bottom-level workers—handicraftsmen, small farmers, and proletarians who do odd jobs everywhere. They organized rallies, held demonstrations, gave speeches, sent Chen love letters across the republic, sharply protested the empire’s “arrogant and impudent acts of imperialism”, and criticized the republic’s government for “cowardly pleasing dictatorship. There is nothing constitutional at all. "Empire" and "increasingly serious monarchization tendency". Then it was proposed that the current government of the Republic is no longer competent and can not effectively guarantee the dignity and security of the people and the country. It is necessary for the people to use the votes in their hands to teach the arrogant and arrogant government to entrust the country to "true patriots" ". In short, it requires political parties to rotate and seize power.

Anyone who is sensible and neutral can point out that these fanatics' ridicule of the government and their willingness to go to war are clearly the arrogance of the ignorant and fearless based on ignorance. Just like the ancient sages said-Well, scars forget the pain. To this end, the government also debated through newspapers, political brokers, and Sharon, noting that the current government of the Republic has no strength and empire, and that being tough will only lead to the danger of dying. But as we all know, war of words will never have results. Anyway, the government has a newspaper, and the people have a mouth. For those who are convinced that "the Congresses stood up for the Republic, the authoritarian empire attacked the democratic republic, which was nothing short of challenging the world. At that time, the Congresses attacked the empire. The end of the war must be divided by the defeat of the empire. And for the paranoid who ended up (this argument is really a kind of black humor), newspapers are full of nonsense, and the only truth is what the street politicians tell and think (brain-fill) themselves.

However, some people are not satisfied with the war of words. With the escalation of the battle of words, some people become more and more courageous and start to try to put language into action.

"On the way I arrived, a group of guys who called themselves the'Republican Democratic Association' threw eggs and rotten tomatoes at my carriage. They held up a slogan and shouted,'The South Ocean is not covered. Swim over and lick the soles of the Empire!' ,'Tell the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the traitor!','Send Ames to the guillotine!'. My driver tried to speed up, and someone threw a burning flask at him, but fortunately he blocked the thing with a whip..."

It was Edmund de Ames, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic. Speaking of appropriate atrocities, Mr. Minister is still uneasy.

As a systematically educated gentleman with good self-control, his bad words should end there. But when he thought of the increasing chaos and the future and destiny of the country, Ames could not hide his anger and disappointment.

"Those societies are a gathering place for all people, and they contain a lot of hateful anarchists. They are creating terrible chaos everywhere, clamoring for combative murmurs. It is an altar like a purgatory and an altar for cults. All normal order and balanced power institutions!"

Based on the knowledge of Charlemagne, it is not difficult to see the full of maliciousness in the use of adjectives in these words.

"You can't let them go on fooling around anymore, even if you are tough, it doesn't matter. You must stop the chaos before the empire takes the next step."

"Your Highness..."

As an old nobleman, Ames eagerly used the honorary title. He certainly did not like the restlessness of the people and the community, but he never wanted the Republic that was hard to establish because of the temporary contradiction. If the Republic Like the empire, the physical means used to "correct the mind", then the republic that departed from the idea of ​​nation-building was dead at that moment.

The saying that human beings are still alive and their spirits are dead is the same as a country that is a group of people. The concept of founding the nation is dead, although it still lives.

"I'm not going to learn Empire."

Minerva took out a small ppk pistol and put it on the table, making a narrow smile~www.readwn.com~ I just responded to the request of the community and the people, and promoted the expansion of the army. I would like to invite the members of the parliament and the patriotic people to join the barracks with me and use blood And sweat to practice your ideals. "

After a pause, a hearty laugh broke out in the meeting room.

Speaking of which, this is the trick that the emperor used to deal with the main battle of his own parliament. Every time the crows fighting crows have a mouth, the small officers and military doctors of the conscription office silently set up a booth at the door, waiting for the grandpas to come out and report themselves I have recently been unwell, and the place on my body is wrong, it is really not suitable for barracks life...

For those who have not experienced it but like to clamor for war, there is no more suitable solution than this.

"We can also arrange a live broadcast to let everyone see the courage of the'Patriots' together."

"Hope they won't leak urine."

Minerva smiled and waved his hand, preventing Astorfo and Anne from making excessive jokes. Then he smiled and turned his serious, slightly apologetic face to the Supreme Court Chief Officer John Jay sitting on the opposite sofa.

"After the coordination of Serres, the empire has agreed to exclude the diplomatic team headed by Baron Constantine von Niuwright to negotiate on the territories of third parties... You can only work hard."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. At least the other party sent an aristocrat to come over, and it's not too shabby."

"I'm not talking about this..."

"Your Highness."

The chief officer also smiled and replied with consciousness and open-minded tone:

"I know what the consequences of this trip are, and I know what will be waiting for me after returning to China. But what is more important than anything at the moment is to ensure the survival of the Republic and allow the seeds of the Republic and Charlemagne to survive. If so If a sacrifice is needed, I will gladly stand on the altar." 8)
