Chapter 329: It's a Systemic Problem
The new world, which has a slightly sluggish social development rate, is far less ever-changing than the old world, and has bred extremely complex political patterns in thousands of years, but these tens of thousands of years have not been wasted after all, and the new world also has a large number of intelligent races and historical accumulation, which has prompted the birth of a variety of political models in this world.
Whether it is the extremely ancient matriarchal clan city-state, the collegial system of tribal elders, the dictatorship of the military aristocracy, the oligarchy tyrant system, and then the monarchy, representative system, and republican system that people in the old world are relatively familiar with, all kinds of state polities compete with each other for their superiority and disadvantage in the land of the new world. The Chinese version of the Old World Theory of Evolution opens with a sentence that is particularly suitable to describe this fierce competitive process, natural selection, survival of the fittest. Under the whirlpool of extremely fierce and cruel competition, in the face of the cruel elimination of the strife among nations, countries that lack endogenous competitiveness and self-healing and corrective functions are destined to be eliminated by the enemy, almost without exception, even if there is a god on the top, it is not foolproof.
Under such a premise, praising the institutional perfection of the Bright Dynasty is simply a disgusting flattering act.
The lessons from the past are not far away, of course Luo Zhengdao's subordinates will not want to repeat the mistakes of the past and fall twice in the same pit, it is not a matter of route, this is purely a matter of intelligence, okay! The medicine can't be stopped!
Sensei said that Luo Zhengdao had no intention of restoring the strange state system of the Guangming Dynasty, which mixed the cultures of the two worlds, even if he was willing to do so, his subordinates would never agree with it, Nima, this is nothing to bring people into the ditch, cheat daddy!
“…… The Prime Minister is the highest executive of the government, and the rank of Prime Minister is called Prime Minister. ”
Listening to Drake King slowly read the draft constitution word by word, Luo Zhengdao, who had been tilting his head and listening carefully, immediately sat up straight, glanced at the subordinates present, and said:
"Well, it should be possible, let's use this for the time being!"
Hearing this, the stocky Drake laughed and said:
"Also...... Your Highness, when will we be able to recover Qiongzhou? ”
In recent days, this kind of voice from the bottom of society has indeed reached Luo Zhengdao's ears, and the strong desire of the Qiongzhou department to recover his hometown is also difficult to suppress. Earlier, it was a lack of strength, and everyone would not expect too much, but now that they feel that they are plump, of course they have to pursue more things.
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao touched his chin and thought about it for a while, nodded and said:
"Well, that makes sense, it's time to fix that. Now that the fall of the main continent has been able to confirm that it is not a rumor, the goblins do not value territorial gains and losses as much as they used to, and we can take this opportunity to retake Qiongzhou. ”
Goblins have always been masters who only take advantage of them and refuse to suffer, grabbing their territory is no different from pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, but since everyone knows that the fall of the main continent to the lower plane is a high probability event, goblins. The original ambitious plan to dominate the world had to be revised. In order to cope with the complex shape of the mutation, the first step taken by the goblins is to continue to migrate from the main continent to disperse the systemic risks in the future.
The focus of the migration is on the numerous desert islands of the Stellar Sea, although the enclave islands that are already colonized and developed are more popular.
In today's chaotic times, land resources alone are of little value, not to mention the fact that undeveloped desert islands are worthless and cheap resources as far as the eye can see, compared to the total population of the poor Baba Baba.
Most sapient races either exploit entrenches with special resource value, such as spices and minerals, or simply occupy strategically located islands as trade transit ports and make a fortune by controlling the shipping routes. There is no precedent for a war to get land, and there is no wasteland to be developed, which is not worth grabbing!
Within the scope of the sea of stars, more than seventy percent of the island enclaves with fixed inhabitants are the property of small and medium-sized countries, and the remaining two and a half are overseas colonies of Yaling and elves, and the last remaining half is the product of the overseas colonization policy implemented by the Bright Dynasty in the past, and now of course, it is all owned by the goblins along with the main continent.
The biggest obstacle to the recovery of Qiongzhou is not the strength of the force, but whether the island can be kept under the counterattack of the goblins, which is the core element of whether it is worth the effort.
As we all know, Qiongzhou is only a one-day voyage away from the nearest point of the main continent, and God knows if these adjacent islands will also sink together when the main continent falls, in case this answer is as conjecture, it will be too pitiful.
In view of this, the Second Goblin Empire directly put Qiongzhou Island on the abandoned list, and the future immigration plan was not considered, and the Goblin Army even withdrew to the main continent in batches with the Redstone Brigade originally stationed on the island, and those human slaves and plantations were temporarily handed over to the puppet army. As long as the goblins can receive the materials handed over in full when they are due, they don't care about anything else, as if they are completely free-range. Now, the island is being attacked by a group of unruly human careerists and Qiongzhou resistance, tossing back and forth.
One of the biggest reasons why Luo Zhengdao didn't think much about Qiongzhou before was that the Chuanshan Islands and Qiongzhou were more than half a month away, and if they occupied two lands so far apart, they would only meaninglessly disperse their own living forces, which was by no means a wise move militarily. The second reason is that the Second Goblin Empire has shrunk its strength, which does not mean that they have abandoned their plans to deal with human exiles, but on the contrary, considering that the main continent is in a long-term downward trend of value, the two sides are entangled in the direction of the sea of stars, which will undoubtedly lead to a more violent armed conflict. This time, Luo Zhengdao accepted the construction of his subordinates and tried to take Qiongzhou, and Luo Zhengdao was completely out of strategic passive adjustment.
The Chuanshan Islands have a limited land area, mostly wasteland, and rely on fish catches as the main source of food, while Qiongzhou, which is much more extensive, has large tracts of developed land and plantations. Not to mention the rolling rainforests located inland, the land in the coastal area of Qiongzhou alone can easily support millions of people, and it is definitely a treasure land.
Earlier, the Chuanshan Islands were enough to contain the attention of the goblin navy as a sharp knife that threatened Dongning and the mouth of the Great River, but now they don't care much about land gains and losses, and the strategic value of this forward base is greatly reduced.
In contrast, sending troops to seize Qiongzhou is not only the best means to expand the living space, but also to supplement the manpower of the Qiongzhou system, from the personal emotional level of Luo Zhengdao, after receiving the benefits of Will Needham and Cheap Daddy, psychologically he can't help but feel that he owes something to the people of Qiongzhou, this is Will Needham's lordship obligation, and now that he is dead, Luo Zhengdao, who has inherited this responsibility, can save the people of Qiongzhou from the sea of suffering as soon as possible, it is a self-comforting remedy.
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Zhengdao decided to make his own decision, got up and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a new idea before agreeing on the question of the national system......
At the meeting to discuss the constitution, Luo Zhengdao gave a brief account of the plan for the Qiongzhou raiders, and as soon as he finished speaking, sharp opposition immediately appeared on the spot. Needless to say, the Qiongzhou clan rejoiced at this, and was eager to liberate Qiongzhou Island immediately after a charge, while those who came from the pirate system held a relatively conservative view, believing that it was a joke on their own brains to start a war without sufficient preparation and intelligence support in advance, and this kind of behavior was absolutely undesirable.
“…… We have resistance groups in Qiongzhou to cooperate, and intelligence support is not too much of a problem, and the materials needed for the war are well stocked. Your Highness, the difficulty is what to do on the Chuanshan Islands when we dispatch the main force of the fleet and the Marine Corps to attack Qiongzhou? ”
After arguing with each other, Brando Scarlet, the leader of the Qiongzhou department, finally suppressed the opposition with reasoned arguments, and then he kicked the ball to Luo Zhengdao. In a decision similar to this kind of strategic direction, subordinates must not overstep their bounds, otherwise they will find their own death.
The Chuanshan Islands off the eastern coast of the main continent are only a few days away from Dongning, and the seemingly honest goblin fleet is very safe in the harbor at the moment, and they can kill the Chuanshan Islands at the gate with their words. This situation really occurs, without the fleet and army to sit on the defense, leaving only part of the air force and artillery battery support, under the superior strength of the goblin, how long can the Chuanshan Islands last, this cliff is as inexhaustible as pi classic problem!
Luo Zhengdao didn't hesitate, he couldn't think of this kind of problem, he had already killed the goblin, and immediately sneered and said:
"Little thing, let's find something to do for the goblins, haven't we already contacted the resistance army in the interior? Ask them to cooperate, and the plan should work. ”
It is true that Brando Scarlet is the backbone of the Qiongzhou faction, but because of this, he can't dig a hole for his faction, so he hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, don't forget that the goblin standing fleet will not be held back by land war."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao smiled slightly and said:
"We can invite the Yaling Empire to send a fleet to assist in the defense of the Chuanshan Islands, and after we capture Qiongzhou, we don't want this place, and give it to Yaling as a thank you gift."
"Ahh For Yaling? ”
"Are you really going to give the Funayama Islands to Yaling?"
"Your Highness, you're not kidding, are you?"
At some point, the real world can also find a little bit of fairness, such as mortals eventually die, which is of course a joke.
It was determined that the fall of the main continent was almost a foregone conclusion, and the value of the Chuanshan Islands, which was an advance base that blocked the goblins, had greatly shrunk to Luo Zhengdao. Now that it's waste, why not squeeze the surplus value? He has no psychological burden to give up what he doesn't need, unlike those subordinates who have put in a lot of effort and sweat to abandon the Funayama Islands. All right! In fact, this is the reaction that normal people should have, making a difficult choice in endless entanglement and wandering, Luo Zhengdao threw the territory out as an outcast so lightly. I have to say that the loser realm of the traverser is so high that it is basically the same level as the local tyrants of the old world who rely on smashing and helping the old lady to show off their wealth.
"If everyone has no opinion, the matter is settled. Well, Brando, remember to make an appointment with Diplomat Yaling for me. ”
Facing Luo Zhengdao, whose tone was unquestionable, what could Brando Scarlet Yan say, he had to bow his head and say:
"Yes, Your Highness, I will do my best to arrange a meeting and consultation."
