824 League
"There are nineteen tribes that want to join the alliance, which seems like a lot of numbers, but their total strength is only fifteen thousand. This is the force they can use, and most of the tribes are weak. Now the question arises, how do we manage it when we have so many people? This is a big difficulty, and if there are a lot of difficulties in management, there will be a lot of surprises in the situation. Jia Xu said.
The intelligence department of the Republican Army is very hard, they actively contact the tribes located in the northern buffer zone, these tribes are very weak, the smallest tribe has a population of only 2,000 people, the maximum force they can dispatch, only 800 people, that means that all the old and weak have to go to the battlefield, that is the maximum mobilization.
The largest is no more than 5,000 troops, but it also requires maximum mobilization. All the available forces add up to only 15,000 troops, which is not too much, but it is not a lot. They are a military force to be reckoned with. But the problem is that they are composed of nineteen tribes, and the composition of the force is too scattered and chaotic, and there will be even greater problems in command.
"Nineteen tribes, it's quite chaotic, chaotic to the point where we can't control it. In such a situation, many of their things are difficult to control, coupled with the contradictions between the tribes, it is difficult for us to expect such an army to play a certain role. Shang Wu said.
"To be honest, I would rather them do this and that, an army that is too strong. For us, it's a big threat. However, the troops that are too chaotic are useless for us, and it seems that we are very contradictory. Jia Xu said.
"If you unite nineteen tribes." Shang Wu said.
"But I'm afraid their allies are too strong. That's not a good thing for us. Jia Xu said worriedly. It doesn't work that way, it doesn't work that way. The strategy of the Republican Army seems to be very contradictory, and the main contradiction is that the opposing army cannot be too strong. Too strong, and they will hate a strong neighbor. Any powerful country hates such a situation. The occurrence of such a situation would lead to a sad event, and that is that the IRA does not want such a state of affairs.
"However, they are too weak to form a buffer between us and the Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan. At the same time, we need to mobilize such an army and let them play some roles that we think can be played instead. Jia Xu said.
Therefore, it is necessary to control a certain degree, or rather, to alleviate a certain contradiction within them, and to form an organizational force that identifies with the alliance. Assimilating them, of course, to finally digest them, we will need some time. Shang Wu said.
"That's what I mean. What we need is to turn their tribesmen's private armies into a kind of common organized army, and to dilute their loyalty to the tribe. I think we can draw as many troops as they can accept, for example, for a team of 500 men, we can draw 200. Many tribes smoke like this. Build up the Confederate Army. This Confederate army obeys the council. The number of seats in parliament can be based on the number of people and the number of troops provided. "Sangwu offered some of his ideas, which, in fact, were not new at all. This is because many local regimes are martial in this way to achieve such goals.
"Sounds good." Jia Xu nodded in agreement with such a way, because such a way could meet some of their needs. The IRA, for example, hates the presence of a strong armed force on the border, despite a certain level of IRA support. But the problem is that the Republican Army doesn't want all this to be a big mess, because this kind of chaos will make most of the situation out of control, so the best way at the moment is to find a way to solve some of these problems, but how to achieve such a situation, which requires them to work organization and management.
The parliamentary system is very good, first of all, they bring together a large number of allied tribes, all in one place. Secondly, with the main purpose of building an allied army, the allied army is equivalent to a project jointly established by everyone, building a common army according to its own strength. In this way, certain contradictions within them can be eliminated. Mainly external factors. Finally, the internal contradictions between the tribes cannot be eradicated, but they can be resolved through parliament. And the IRA just needs to make the rules.
"My idea is that they can co-opt half of the seats in parliament to form a council, and they can control it for two years, or four years." Shang Wu said.
"I think four years is too long. Two years. Up to two years. In this way, they can't do anything. Then they are in danger of stepping down, and at the same time, controlling them from being re-elected. That way, you can get them to reorganize. In this way, they will keep tossing and tossing for a certain period of time, and as for the increase in their internal strength, they will not be able to solve it, and the things that cannot be fundamentally solved can be handed over to the parliament, or rather, to separate some powers, separate financial powers, and hand over military and management powers to **. The power used militarily is subject to parliamentary approval, and so on. Jia Xu said.
Sometimes, centralized power can solve a lot of practical problems, but decentralized power can also cause problems for some time.
Shang Wu is well aware of the principle behind this.
If the IRA wants to use its forces in the South, it will not be able to focus on the North, and the North will have to be resolved before that. It's a good question to think about and clear. And that's not all. The IRA needs to do something else, and that is that they don't want a stronger enemy in the north, for example, when they have a certain phase of strategic shift, and when they turn their attention to the north again, if there is a bigger enemy, the result is very bad. In such a situation, the Republican Army needs to use its priority in making rules, play around, and after formulating the rules, let the nineteen tribal alliances enter a state of control and expansion, so that they will not be too strong, nor too weak, and at the same time let them accept such a condition, and to achieve such a condition, they need to do a lot of things that can improve this move, this is what the Republican Army is doing at present, so that they can become much more powerful.
"We can make rules, but only if we can provide some assistance and stability. This allows the intelligence services to do just that. Jia Xu said. He already had such a plan.
"That's it for now." Shang Wu said.
"There are other things that we have to pay attention to." Jia Xu said.
"It's about the huge bail money, and the news media has noticed it. It was featured in major newspapers. I fear that it will undermine judicial fairness. Jia Xu said.
The so-called huge bail is the business of a wealthy businessman in Handan, and the republican army has no slaves. But it may be because of habitual problems. The wealthy merchant killed one of his attendants. But because it happened within his family. The police were not the first to arrive at the case. As a result, the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence, but there are many unfavorable factors against the wealthy businessman. The prosecution ordered the other party to be arrested.
Wealthy businessmen were not happy, according to the laws of the Republican Army. Local regulations. As long as you pay enough security deposit, it is usually twenty to fifty times the income on the tax bill. The fine amounted to a staggering 250,000 Republican Army dollars, which was equivalent to the annual revenue of an ordinary county town of the Republican Army. But the rich businessman took it out. He took out so much security to be released, of course, only a certain amount of freedom.
But the move annoyed the public, the newspapers, who had good reason to suspect that they were challenging the judiciary. Challenging people's fairness. But that's what the law says. Anyway, there's a bunch of troublesome things here. There are those who support it in the newspapers, and there are those who approve of it. In short, there are various views.
Jia Xu hoped that Shangwu would be able to deal with such a matter from the perspective of fairness and justice, after all, it would not be too beneficial to the justice of the Republican Army.
"No, I don't want that, what I want is that we have a sense of justice within us. After all, this is the basis for our establishment, although there are many contradictions and loopholes in the judicial provisions. But we have to make it, and we have to do it according to such a law, and if any law can be repealed because it's unfair, what do we do with justice, of course. This seems very unfair. Poor people who can't afford to pay are jailed. And the rich can get away with it, but the evidence. We need to come up with proof. There is still a judicial spirit in this. Shang Wu said.
Shang Wu did not think that the repeal of some laws could reach the level of fairness, the Republican Army was not a saint, they could not achieve absolute fairness, and it was only possible for Kim to maintain such a posture.
There are many, many mistakes and all kinds of difficulties in governing a country, and Shangwu knows this, but he can't let such ideas lead them to do nothing.
Jia Xu nodded, perhaps, he took such a thing too seriously. After all, there is too much helplessness in governing the country. If they have to do such and such things just because of this, doesn't it mean that they are still far from the saints? They are just ordinary people. Error is allowed.
