Chapter 153 Two of the trilogy
"No vision, not a mistake that Goliaths would make. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" - Meng Bi Jiuma, an army captain, a poet of the Republic, a controversial scholar in the intellectual circles, and the proposer of the idea of birth restrictions.
The Goliaths are a strict people, perhaps the obsessive-compulsive disorder of doing everything according to the inheritance, which makes them seem strictly forbidden.
Unwritten ancient laws, of course, are not written down, but they can be enforced.
You can't do what you don't allow, you can't do what you want to do, that's what Goliath is.
For example, according to the ancient law, the infertile were criminals, and until now the Goliaths are debating the legality of abortion, but the overall view of fertility is absolutely consistent.
That is, it is necessary to meet the requirements of the state, and the statistics of the income of each profession and each family in the legal documents of the republic set the number of children that should be born, that is, whether it is an abortion or not, if the minimum number of births is not reached, it is guilty,
Whether abortion is sinful or not, the parliament is still debating, and in Goliath, the unspoken rule, the controversial law must not be enforced, so it is possible to have an abortion, and no one will enforce the law, at most it is a nosy person in the military department to warn:
"Abortion is the murder of the nation, and for the sake of a war that will not stop, any abortion is a soldier who seeks to kill the future of the country."
But the premise is that the number of children has reached the minimum standard, and whether or not to have more children is a matter for the citizens themselves.
Abortion, or other contraceptive measures, if the number of births is insufficient, is itself illegal, and even though the law prohibiting abortion is controversial, it is already regulated by ancient unwritten law.
"Those who cannot have children will be equated with waste."
The charges against homosexuals, **, liberals, anarchists, will be punished harshly, and they will go to jail.
This ancient unwritten law can be compared to the current Basic Law, which shows its power and influence, and it is also due to the Goliaths' adherence to tradition, although it is not worth it.
Unfortunately, the ancient laws were the only ones that did not restrict crime, on the contrary, in the eyes of the ancient Goliaths, rape was justified, murder was not guilty, and those who harbored universal mercy were guilty.
As a result, the social climate has been unstable, and crime has always been an unsolvable problem in the republic.
It is also an unavoidable reality that there are many criminals, vicious methods, bad influence, and great destructive power.
The problem was reversed for a time during the extremely strict laws of the Sura Abi era, which was a militaristic system with martial law and cruel laws in place throughout the country.
All laws are prescribed as the death penalty, which is strictly enforced by the army.
During that time, the whole country was silent in terror, the harsh criminal law, the terrible political atmosphere, the slightest carelessness would cause the whole family to encounter an unfortunate and uncertain crisis, so that the society was oppressed, crime was curbed for a while, but the number of deaths every year was greater than at any time,
The brutality and cruelty of the army were vividly displayed in front of the Goliaths, who had previously relished the slaughter of other peoples by their armies, but now they had tasted the bitterness.
The brutality of the Boyue people, the brutality of the Europa mercenary workers, the brutality of the Apollo slaves, the brutality of the rebel armies throughout the republic,
Now come the imperial period, the time of the great Sura Abi the Great.
"It's time for the Goliaths to suffer, they're used to being pampered."
The then Minister of Politics, who was also the chief aide-de-camp of Sura Abi, said at a meeting in the "Palace of the Emperor".
But fickleness is also the character of the Goliaths,
The cruelty law was abolished after some time, by order of Sura Abi.
When Sura Abi was traveling, he saw the poor law and order in various places, and he thought that under his empire, everything should be perfect, so he gave more power to the police stations in various places, that is, the management department of the Holy City at that time, referred to as the 'chengguan' (vssusb), they were the secret agencies that had existed for a long time, and they were established by order of a grand consul in order to maintain law and order from the day Abiwei was built, but the era of the most power was given by Sura Abi.
Specializing in assassination and surveillance of bad speakers, liberals, and rebels, against foreign spies, but also for foreign infiltration, and responsible for national security.
At first, however, they ignored criminals because they couldn't tell who were criminals, and these people had gone through the civil war of the Sura Abi period, and their roles had changed, and they were no longer more like a spy agency and a killer agency hired by the government.
The interior is full of all sorts of people, but most of them are spies and killers in the army rather than law-savvy police officers, and even those officers are currently more focused on dealing with the xenos who have crossed the ocean to lurk in the Republic, the vampires and witches of Europa.
Because they are not familiar with the law or simply do not engage in this work, they are never the enforcers of the law, but the ones who defend the imperial power and destroy the monsters.
The chengguan institutions had long since lost the brutality and harshness and efficiency of their heyday, because the republic could not tolerate their brutality, so it gradually lost its network branches throughout the country, and by the time of Sura Abi, it was a period of their decline.
What's more, they were not interested in Sura Abi and his regime, and their allegiance was to the prisoners at that time, and until the end of the Sura Abi era, they were no longer glorious, and they were later outlawed by the parliament, ending this special institution full of historical missions and special characteristics of the times.
Sura Abi's ambiguity about the usefulness of this institution at the time, on the one hand, was suspicious, and on the other hand, it was not disbanded, perhaps a historical mystery.
But he obviously can't stand the internal security, at this time, the almighty army was the first to think, since it can be fought externally and suppressed internally, then why can't it act as a defender of law and order?
Sura Abi established the first military and police system, and he established it in the whole country step by step, an institution called the Imperial Guard Inspectorate, although it was later banned by the parliament, but at that time he was a great name, and to the surprise of the people of the Republic, he was different from what he imagined.
That's really what it looks like, why do you say that, because all the soldiers who have fallen into this institution, from the officers, down to every soldier, will receive rigorous legal training, and the adjutant of Sura Abi requires them,
"It is necessary to strictly enforce the law, to enforce the law in full accordance with the requirements of every letter of the law, not to abuse it, not to enforce the law in the slightest inappropriate and weak force, and to the extent that it can deter people's hearts, but not to make the citizens feel too painful."
This is a contradictory command.
The Goliaths are a strict and obedient people, the Goliath army is an army that strictly forbids and obeys orders, and the Goliath police officers are no exception.
In order to carry out this requirement higher, the police officers brought their own parchment books to remember things, which was very painful when the East India Company's paper technology was promoted at that time, and the price of a parchment was enough to plunge a police officer's family into an economic crisis, because more people bought it, and the price also rose.
Why is sheepskin so expensive? Because it is a magical parchment book, Goliath's laws are very delicate, and if it is an ordinary book, it is enough to record the parchment of a large warehouse.
But for the sake of higher execution orders, they are desperate.
In the parchment, all the laws were clearly written, each of which was written by themselves, and the distance of punctuation was not far from that inscribed on the stone slab of the huge statue of the "Imperial Court", which they climbed ladders, measured with rulers, and then recorded by hand according to the same standard.
Why can't you fly and have to climb the ladder hard, because the Minister of Propaganda said, "To fly before the law is contempt, that is blasphemy, that is the depravity of the soul like a black man." ”
This group of people is rigorous, but also rigid, and the enforcement of the law is very harsh and literal.
In their opinion, what is the law, the law is not a brothel, there is no difference between people and people,
The law is detailed, neat, and tabulated, and it is indistinguishable from people, but it must be accurate enough to distinguish the differences between different laws themselves in different fonts and colors.
They will judge the other party because the sound of the carriage is too loud, they will judge the violation according to the walking speed of the pedestrian, and rape, murder, property annexation, they will judge the crime according to the age and gender of the victim, this is the difference between the law itself, why should it be, because it is prescribed by law,
For example, according to the law, a person who commits an evil deed against an underage girl commits a greater sin than the original sin.
And there can be no difference between what people treat people, that is, nobles who break the law cannot be forgiven, which is well enforced, originally according to the unspoken rule, nobles who violate the law should not be punished too heavily,
But the soldiers and policemen of the imperial era did not pay attention to the privileges that the noble were born with from the blood, and it was not like what the Golions should do, and the Goliaths should have an order of absolute obedience to the nobles.
But the uniforms believed that they were right to enforce the law, in keeping with the traditional recognition of the supremacy of tribal law.
Because of this, the nobles hated Sura Abi even more, and the commoners hated him, because the law was too strict, and when he worked, he would take a little rest, and he would be sentenced because it was not the right time.
There was a Goliath craftsman, because he made a carriage for people, originally according to the requirements of the military police, from the fourth street to the third street of Abivi, the carriage must be completed between 10 and 11 minutes and 23 seconds, but because the craftsman's carriage was a little heavier in terms of protection in order to be safer, the time was wrong.
In the end, the military and police were accused of "extremely poor workmanship, cunning, untrustworthy and moral, and dishonest in business." "Considering that he was guilty of breaching the good faith of the commercial law, because the craftsman had boasted that his carriage was of absolutely superior quality,
But the result was that the speed was not superior, and the person who bought the car would be misunderstood, so he had to be put to death, because at that time, dishonesty was a crime punishable by death in Goliath.
With the death of Sura Abi and the coming to power of his descendants, who continued to do all sorts of perverse acts, the Goliaths reached the limit of their patience, and finally took the title of Emperor and brought the era to an end in a mixture of fanaticism and hatred and all sorts of intrigues.
The era is over, but the experience cannot be forgotten, history cannot be like it never happened, whether the parliament outlawed the military and police, but their influence will not disappear, because the country has changed, from the empire to the people's republic again, but the people have not changed, they are still the same people.
As in a Goliath proverb,
"A woman argues with her husband about patriarchy or femininity, and the husband says, "You have my surname, but the woman does not want it, and thinks it is unjust," and the husband says, "Your surname is derived from your father, and your father is also a man, and that surname is a man's.
Maybe you want to say, that's from the mother,
But it's from your mother, but your mother's surname comes from your grandfather, and it's also a man's surname, and your justice doesn't exist in the first place.
The woman is not happy, your offspring is my next life, you are too disrespectful, why should I bow your head
The man said indifferently, you should go to the source of the matter, go to the sky to find the origin, complain about me, I will only insist on patriarchy, because all men are insisting, since I was born. ”
Maybe Sura Abi is not the object of complaining, but the original one who made the law is,
"That damn Abiway."
The people of the republic found that their situation had not changed at all, whether the country was an empire or a republic, and they were deceived by the parliamentarians, and when the grievances of venting came together and suddenly exploded,
Hell and earth, it is impossible to distinguish.
The legislators abolished the military police, but suddenly found that there were no law enforcers.
Crime is everywhere, and all kinds of black societies have sprung up, disrupting order and threatening lives.
The parliamentarians were furious, the republic reverted to the old system, no, it was harsher than that, the cruel criminal law was all restored, after repeated persuasions were ineffective, after the patience was destroyed, the parliamentarians let go of the military department.
Originally, they had already tied the iron chain to the head of the military department, and the military department was not like today, when they nodded their heads and bowed their waists, walked down the street, and after being reprimanded loudly, they would also salute the initiative,
The bigwigs of the military department are extremely respectful to the parliamentarians, of course, the navy is not counted, the military department here refers to the army,
However, the navy itself has not committed any crimes, they are usually stationed on certain islands, receive cruel training, all materials are transported from land, and there is no dispute with the world, in fact, they are not qualified to share power with the army, and it is not welcome to join the navy at that time, and it is not welcome to participate in the military academy.
Because they had no power, they had no sense of existence until the Sura Abi era, and naturally they were not attacked by the Parliament, and because of their allegiance to His Majesty, their status was greatly improved after the end of the Sura Abi era, and their reputation was good.
The military headquarters because of the Sura Abi era, everyone shouted and beaten, the soldiers were killed by the criminals in the streets, and the bodies were divided in the alleys, no one cared about them, no one sympathized, because people remembered the brutality of this group of soldiers,
The Goliaths no longer spoke of their valiant imperial army, no longer with pride, but with disgust, "The bunch of guys who eat white rice should all be dead." ”
"What army? That's a criminal! What military department? That's where the butchers gather! ”
As the society no longer respected the military, the status of the military declined, and the Sulla period blindly expanded the army, and the two sides desperately frantically expanded the army during the civil war, and when all the fanaticism subsided, the parliament was horrified to discover a terrible fact.
There are more than 10 million soldiers to support in the country, and the country's economy will definitely collapse.
And the stock market has collapsed, only for the time being unnoticed by the cover of the war, and the collapse of finance is a threat to the destruction of the republic,
The reason for the reunification of the republic is the economic ties, once the economic independence of all localities, the consequences will definitely make the country's vitality greatly damaged, although you can rely on the army to maintain unity, but then the military will not be empty again?
Great disarmament, pushing all hatred on the military department,
Passing on contradictions, which is what the parliament is good at, and the parliamentarians swear to rebuild the country while criticizing the army,
Call them do, "Fallen Spartan fascist psychopaths, a bunch of criminals of ** nation." ”
The effect was there, and indeed the anger of the people, mainly Goliath, was successfully transferred to the soldiers, and the parliamentarians could sleep soundly at night without worrying about anything.
The military was hated, but the navy, which was also a soldier, was favored, and people admired them, believing that they were the real royal soldiers, not the scum of the army, and the royal title of the army was deposed, and many people joined the clubs of the navy.
But the navy doesn't care about land, in the civil war, the navy can compete with the army, that is, because in the name of His Majesty, many people were called to join the army, and they were all incorporated into the naval camp at that time.
So as soon as the civil war was won, a large part of them were kicked out or quit on their own, because they were actually the army, and it was not the army that was opposed in the first place, but the descendants of Sula.
As a result, the navy was simply unable to exert tight repression and control throughout the country, and their numbers were small, and even if most of them joined the army, there were not many more veterans of the Civil War who left.
What's even more ridiculous is that those veterans who withdrew from the navy, of course, came together with the army that had killed red-eyed,
Originally, they were all armies, and the two sides understood each other,
The veterans of the Civil War were so disillusioned with the Parliament that when the Parliament began to make a decision to cut all the land forces that sided with the Sulla faction in the Civil War, those who were in the Navy were actually worried about their fate when they were on the side of the Parliament and were incorporated into the Navy.
Sure enough, they were then kicked out,
They were depressed when they watched their brothers who had fought together being cut out of the army, and when they were not cut out of the army like other brothers, but were asked to be completely integrated into the navy, in the end, they also angrily refused and then voluntarily withdrew.
"We are the descendants of the ancient Simbuyi warriors, we will never accept shame, we are land people, and the navy is not in the same direction after all, long live the army, long live Your Majesty!"
"Exit!"
"Exit!"
"Exit!"
This event was called: "The Great Rebellion, the Mutiny of the Sailors"
Those who withdrew, summarily punished by the parliament, never to join the army again, deprived of all honor, besieged and chased as they walked through the streets, and insulted by some criminal scoundrels from Central Asia,
The difference between them and the vanquished is that they still have dignity, they killed those provocateurs, and they sent a team of people to the provinces of Central Asia to slaughter those peoples.
They believed that the Goliaths should never be insulted by those who were not Goliaths.
For this reason, they went to the army headquarters, demanded justice, and instigated the army to overthrow the parliament and establish a royal government, and they planned to capture the palace and win His Majesty's control.
to build a true state that is neither Sura Abi, nor parliament,
As in the ancient Roman fascist royal system, in which His Majesty was in charge of all internal and external powers, the army was auxiliary, the noble council was excluded, the imperial council composed of commoners under the direct command of His Majesty was established, political parties were abolished, and all trade unions were removed and declared illegal.
The new Declaration of the Second Reich was announced, which was improvised by them:
One: The state is a holy state ruled by His Majesty the Emperor, and everything should be subject to the arrangements of His Majesty the Emperor, who is the commander of the army, the law-maker, the protector of the state, and the owner of property
2. Establish a joint command of the Army and the Navy, under the direction of the Army, and eventually under the direct leadership of His Majesty
3. Declare the parliament a traitor, immediately recognize them as "enemies of the people," and judge them according to the article of the law that "enemies of the people" are put to death
Fourth: Everything in the new empire must be subject to the central jurisdiction, and with the help of the next civil war, the forces of the governors in various places will be eliminated, and they will be set up as army provinces, which will be directly governed by the army, and finally all power will be under your majesty
Five: We will not allow other peoples to enjoy absolute equality of power with the Goliath nation, and demand the systematic extermination of the most despicable people in the empire, homosexuals, the disabled, the mentally ill, anarchists, ultra-liberals
Six: The name of the new empire should be national, we don't want religion, Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, and the Supreme is too vain
Seventh: All the territories of the empire are subject to the general order of the empire, abolishing all regional slavery, all ganzanke systems, and blood tax systems, and implementing the system of direct administration of the provinces of the central empire
Eight: Our empire should be the empire of all the Goliaths, all titles of nobility should be abolished, and under Your Majesty we must all be equal
Nine: All subjects in the empire are the subjects of His Majesty, regardless of nationality, male or female, and they must receive compulsory education in the academy, and we have a six-year system of education
10: All subjects of the empire must receive military training in order to meet the possibility of war at any time, they must become samurai, and those who have the potential of mages must go to the military headquarters to receive special training, and anyone who hides the potential of mages due to national problems, or escapes military training, will definitely end the most cruel punishment
11. All resources belong to the state, all metals and minerals, all water sources, all arable land, and all forests belong to the state
They are asking for the establishment of such a royal system by fighting a civil war and amending the existing laws.
They called it the "whole nation" or "collective state" and claimed that it was the hope of the whole Goliaths.
Everyone in the military department is terrified because of them.
The bigwigs of the military department severely rebuked them for blatant treason, and the craziest people in the military department were also shocked by the plan of this group of lower-level soldiers, and even demanded the killing of the parliament, which was extremely crazy.
"You are crazy, this is naked treason."
"No, it's the only way out to save our fallen nation."
"Banning parliament and removing party unions is subverting our country, and Sura Abi would not dare to do that."
"So he failed, all our land forces are united, the navy cannot hold out, we must defeat them!"
The military department is in chaos, there are people for it, more people are against, they are crazy, but they have not yet been turned into fools by the blood in the brain.
In the end, it was not carried out, and the officers and soldiers involved were secretly executed by the military department, and a possible riot was also persuaded by the military department bosses to stop.
When the parliament learned about this, it felt that the military department had been tamed, and the opposition in the country was too loud, and the actions of the criminal forces in various places were transmitted by those who had a good heart, and the noise almost deafened the ears of the councillors.
In the midst of the uproar of the imperial era and the post-republican era, the parliamentarians reconciled with the command of the army again, like a quarrelling husband and wife, but the other lover of the parliament, the members of the navy, were suddenly resentful.
A long-running plan for the Navy began here,
Is it true that the navy can't control all kinds of crimes in the country? Or is it deliberately indulgent, using them as a cover?
I only know that the navy has been indissolubly linked to "poison" since then.
The plants brought from the Apollo continent were made into a medicine called the "Paradise Elixir", which became addictive to the users, and the navy sold it to a wide range of peoples other than the Goliaths of the Republic for a profit.
They also opened the era of corporate plutocracy, the era of big capital, the age of steam, and the era of magic and civilians, and their unremitting participation penetrated into various industries related to making money, and did not give the navy participation, no matter how deep the background was, the senior naval officers who would be almost covered by the sun of the republic with one hand,
Blows, even bizarre closures, and even assassinations, lives are not guaranteed.
All this for enjoyment? It is too underestimated to look down on the navy, at the time of the great material development of the republic, the sailors still believed that enjoyment should be punished by death under the ideas of Spartan militarism,
The real Goliaths should fight for His Majesty, and that is a blessing.
That's for military spending? Just for military spending?
It's also not right, the Navy is not much, and now it is also in the number of half a million, and the Army is three million,
The council also takes care of the navy, and most of the annual budget is allocated to the navy, and the navy soldiers take more than the army generals!
Compared with the army, it is a poor ghost, and it is normal for the military department to often default on military spending.
whether there are larger expenses,
For example, secretly researching something, like the Sky Dragon Knights,
Charanti searched for clues in the Great Library,
A plan that could be called crazy to the extreme, and it seemed unbelievable to her.
"Hooray! Kaleya's final plan, the future of all Goliaths! ”
This is a dark text, translated into a meaning that is hidden deep in history.
In ancient texts, a gas is described,
It was a battle against Rome, but it was strange,
The death of 100,000 Roman troops in a single day was thought to be a plague, especially according to the leading scholars of the Republic.
But ······, Charanti is not an ordinary person, she clearly finds out all kinds of details that are ambiguous, and even logically incomprehensible.
It may not be as simple as a plague, but it is also not forbidden spell magic, forbidden spells are powerful, but the price is not bearable.
Man-made, not magic,
On the day of the union, the butler said Ms. Ashibeya.
Could it be that the Navy is really secretly studying some kind of poison gas, but how can such an important thing be easily revealed, how can it be hidden for a long time,
Or is it? There's something deeper······
In any case, it is better to solve the current commission first, and after a joint investigation with the local police station, the source of the poison gas matter has been clarified, but about the most important certification issue,
This is obviously not the handiwork of the Admiralty, it is just the illusion of the housekeeper, and the local police station has not been bought.
However, it is still necessary to solve the case carefully, sometimes it is easy to solve the case, but it is troublesome afterwards.
"All roads lead to Rome, but there is only one Rome!"
Charanti smiled easily.
She recalled the days since she was far away from the politically charged Abiway, in these days of quiet and fun, manor-like days in remote provinces.
Not bad.
