Although the decision-making power is in the hands of the government, when it comes to war, it must be subject to the opinion of the military, and in the face of the resolute opposition of the military generals, Tigala did not force it.

The meeting ended after dawn.

Since no agreement was reached, Tigara announced that a high-level meeting would be reconvened in two days to continue discussions on sending troops into the war.

After seeing off the officials and generals attending the meeting, Tigala did not go to rest, but made more than a dozen phone calls in succession.

At this point, it is impossible to reach an agreement within the government and the army, and we can only pin our hopes on the side of parliament.

Actually, Tigara knew what the problem was.

If you want to say, the foundation of the Van Luo Kingdom is not bad.

Although the land area is not as large as that of the Liangxia Empire and other super hegemons, the Fanluo Kingdom has extremely ideal light and heat conditions, and the Gangara Plain is extremely fertile. Even natural resources are not completely absent, and some mining resources are still in the forefront, which is not considered barren.

The point is, it has the second largest population in the world.

It is a pity that after the establishment of the independent state, even after the baptism of two large-scale wars, the Van Luo Kingdom still failed to develop.

During this period, 2 prime ministers were also "sacrificed", including Tigara's father, former Prime Minister Niru?? Gambala.

If anything, it was only after the assassination of his father that Tigara entered politics.

Throughout, his goal was to accomplish an ideal that his father had not been able to achieve.

Integrate the country into a modern country in the true sense of the word.

Actually, this is the problem of the Brahma country.

Not to mention the fact that it has more than 700 million people and a land area of more than 3 million square kilometers, but historically, the southern subcontinent where the Van Luo Kingdom is located has never been unified under a single regime.

For thousands of years, the entire southern subcontinent was made up of numerous princely states, each of which was an independent kingdom.

Even during the period of several powerful imperial dynasties, such as the Mauryan Empire more than 2,000 years ago, and the Timurid Empire, founded by the lame, they did not achieve full unification, let alone a real centralized power, and the princely states under their rule remained independent kingdoms that went their own way.

If nothing else, for thousands of years, the Southern Subcontinent did not even have a unified language and script.

Almost all the princely states had their own language, and some of the powerful and populous princely states had their own scripts.

Ironically, after being colonized by the Bran Kingdom, the princely states accepted the rule of the Bran Colony under the threat of guns, and also adopted Bran as the official language, unifying the language and script for the first time, to be precise, the official language of the whole territory.

At this point, the country of Van Luo became a country in the modern sense.

From this point of view, the kingdom of Van Luo inherited the mantle of the colonial regime of the Kingdom of Bran.

In fact, this is also the "mandate of heaven" of the kingdom of Van Luo, or it is regarded as the "mandate of heaven" by politicians like Gabala.

After independence, the top brass of the Van Luo Kingdom has always regarded the unification of the southern subcontinent and the establishment of a highly centralized central power as the top priority.

The most representative of these is the Gabala family.

To Tigara?? The Gabala family has given birth to a total of 4 prime ministers, more than 20 ministers, and nearly 100 members of parliament!

In addition, for decades after the establishment of the Van Roh state, a party led by the Gabala family has been in power, and for less than 10 years, a politician from the non-Gabala family has served as prime minister, and for more than 30 years, the person who gives orders in the prime minister's office is called Gabala.

In the words of outsiders, the Prime Minister's Office has become the back garden of the Gabala family.

Tigara grew up in the Prime Minister's House.

His father, Niru, was a former prime minister, and his grandfather and uncle were also prime ministers, ruling for 20 years!

If anything, that's the problem.

In the Southern Subcontinent, in addition to the princely states that have been sustained for thousands of years, there are also social systems that complement them.

Like Tigara, because he was born in the Gabala family, he was not only able to get an education after being born, he was able to go to the Bran Kingdom for further study, but also entered the political arena smoothly after becoming an adult, and with the support of his family, he became the prime minister of the Van Luo Kingdom without any suspense.

Of course, Tigara has been to more than just the kingdom of Bran.

During his study abroad, the relationship between the Bran Kingdom and the Liangxia Empire was still very close, and the first national independence movement had passed, so he went to the Liangxia Empire as an exchange student for two years, and had a very deep understanding of this neighboring country that was so powerful that he could only look up.

The point is, in the two years of the Liangxia Empire, he majored in history!

It was through the study of the history of the Liangxia Empire that Tigara gained a deeper understanding.

It's also very simple, the Liangxia Empire had a very glorious history, but before the founding of the Shiwu Emperor, the modern history of the Liangxia Empire was also full of humiliation.

However, at the hands of Emperor Shiwu, the Liangxia Empire not only washed away its shame, but also developed into the most powerful country in the world.

The key is that not only Emperor Shiwu is powerful enough, but also has the invincible Chen Bingxun, and it is not even the Eight Great Pillars who have made outstanding contributions.

Let the Liang Xia Empire dominate the world, in fact, there is only one point.

During the decades under the command of Emperor Shiwu, the Liangxia Empire underwent a transformational upheaval, not only winning great victories in foreign wars, but also abolishing the old order that had existed for thousands of years through internal reforms, and laying the foundations for the new world through almost revolutionary reforms.

To put it more bluntly, the whole country was reshaped through revolution.

This is not a simple reform, but a revolution that requires sacrifice, bloodshed, is destined to kill many people, and is also destined to bring down many traditional elites!

In these decades, not only the foundation of industrialization was laid, but also a new class of elites, that is, the industrial capitalists of today, were born.

Of course, the cost must have been very severe.

In just a few decades, many large families that have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years have been wiped out in the wave of revolution.

According to folklore, more than 15 million people died in wars and turmoil during the reign of Emperor Shiwu of the Liang Xia Empire!

At that time, the population of the Liangxia Empire was less than 400 million.

In all future wars, the total number of dead officers and soldiers of the Liangxia Empire was less than 10 million.

From this, it can be seen how tragic the Liangxia Empire went through in order to embark on the road of industrialization.

In contrast, what the Van Luo Kingdom lacks is this kind of tragic internal change!

It was because the Van Luo Kingdom did not experience such a tragic internal change that after the founding of the country, it was not able to eliminate the old elites who depended on the land for their survival.

On the road to industrialization, we will inevitably encounter a lot of resistance.

Those elites who hold the land have been able to reap a rich harvest through the land and live a happy life far beyond the common people, and there is no need for change to improve the quality of life, so what reason is there to give up their vested interests?

Looking at the world, all industrial powers have actually completed the industrialization process through the liberation of laborers who are tied to the land through reform.

There is no exception to the "sheep eating people" enclosure movement of Bran's demise, the Civil War of Nuland, the centralization of power in the Liangxia Empire, etc.!

Crucially, these changes took place before the industrialization process began, preferably after the founding of the country.

It's a pity that Van Roe has missed the best time.

In fact, this "time" never came. Let's not forget, the kingdom of Van Luo has not yet unified the southern subcontinent, so there is no talk of land reform.

It was after seeing through this that Degara returned to the kingdom of Van Luo and joined the government led by his father.

Sadly, a few months later, Niru was shot at a campaign rally by a landowner from Madhya Pradesh.

As for the motives, Tigara is very clear.

Under his persuasion, Niru agreed to start a "New Deal" after the election, the core of which was to implement land reform throughout the country.

According to Tigara's idea, the population was liberated from the land by depriving the elite of their control over the land through reform.

This is actually imitating the Liang Xia Empire.

The difference is that Tigara opted for a milder legislative reform rather than a radical revolution.

The assassination of Niru proves that it is impossible to fundamentally solve the millennia-old ills of the Southern Subcontinent through modest reforms.

If you want to say it, this is the foundation of the ruling class, and it is strange that others do not work hard!

It's just that it's far from that simple.

It was later revealed that the Assassins were able to get close to Niru not by luck, but by the fact that the captain of the guard who was in charge of the Prime Minister's security at the time deliberately let the Assassins in.

Since then, hundreds of officers and men of the Guard, including the captain of the Guard, have been implicated.

The investigation did not proceed and was ultimately inconclusive.

It's not that there are no clues, but there is no way to investigate, because if you follow it up, I'm afraid that a military coup will happen.

To put it mildly, the captain of the guard, the officers and soldiers of the guard who were implicated, and even the assassin who committed the murder were actually tools in the hands of the real murderer.

Obviously, it was not only the big landowners who wanted to get rid of Niru, or that assassinating Niru was just the easiest way to maintain the dominance of the elite.

In fact, it is also the least costly way.

The point is that all the generals, all the senior officers, and most of the junior officers come from the elite.

If Niru wants to reclaim the land that has been controlled by the elite for thousands of years through reforms, will they agree?

From the perspective of time, if the Assassins missed, then a few months later, a military coup would inevitably break out, and it would not only be Niru who would be unlucky.

At the time, if Niru had insisted on pushing for land reform, the entire Gabala family could have been uprooted.

It was this that made Tigara depressed for a few years, and even planned to leave the country of Van Luo for a while.

What made him change his mind was not a sense of mission, but the life and death of the family.

During his depressed two years, the Gambal family was not only ostracized from politics, but their core interests were also threatened, and it was the land!

In just two years, the Gabala family's holdings of land have shrunk by a third.

According to this trend, within ten years, the Gabala family will disappear.

In addition, in the past two years, Tigara's own sister and several cousins have either died in a flying accident or disappeared suddenly.

These relatives are all candidates to support the family after Tigala, and they all have great political ambitions.

If no one comes forward, the Gabala family, who created the kingdom of Van Luo, will be completely finished!

The only one who can stand up and lead the entire family is Tigara.

After two years of depression, Tigara made a comeback and was elected prime minister with the support of his family and several large and friendly families.

In the years that followed, Tigara focused on the military.

To be precise, it should be a purge of the army.

At the beginning, all the generals involved in Niru's assassination were eliminated by Tigara one by one, and the family behind it was also hit.

What Tigara did was not only to avenge her father, but also to prepare for the implementation of land reform.

It's just that the time is not yet ripe.

In fact, this is also the key to Tigara's advocacy of entering the war as soon as possible.

Only by participating in the war can the young officers and soldiers who were personally promoted by Tigara be reused, replacing the high-ranking generals and officers from the elite class.

It was only after gaining military power that land reform could be forced.

Of course, reforms during the war can do more with less.

Only at the critical moment of life and death will the elite of the various princely states make concessions for survival, and it is possible to give up vested interests.

If anything, government officials are almost always on Tigala's side.

The reason is also very simple, most of the officials were selected by Tigara, and all of them came from enlightened families, and many of them have completed the transformation, from large landowners to big capitalists. The families represented by these officials controlled almost half of the industry in the kingdom of Van Luo.

Clearly, they also wanted to push forward with land reform and accelerate industrialization.

As for the high-ranking generals, they still represent the traditional elite class, the big landlords who dominate the local area.

The main thing is that the young officers promoted by Tigara are too young to climb up, so within the army, it is still the old-fashioned senior generals who are in power.

They opposed active participation in the war, in fact, they did not want to carry out land reform.

On the other hand, these traditional elites are also "victims" of industrialization, or have not yet tasted the sweetness of industrialization.

If anything, these generals are not even willing to get too close to the Nuland Republic, which has been helping the country to develop its industry.

To put it more bluntly, they prefer to hide behind the Nuland Republic and make a fortune.

In this way, they can not only keep their original vested interests, that is, land, but also make war windfalls, and at the same time increase the influence of their own family in the army.

If nothing else, just by exporting grain during the war, these big landowners can make a lot of money.

For this reason, it is even more necessary to wait until the Nuland Republic enters the war before declaring war on the Liangxia Empire.

Even the reasons that are put forward, even if they are reasons, are not the point.

Tigara knew about this for a long time and made second-hand preparations in advance.

Throughout the month of August, Tigara met with more than 200 influential MPs individually, and won their support through compromises and concessions.

The main compromise was to ensure that wartime mandates would not be used to advance agrarian reform in times of war.

Obviously, it is much easier to deal with parliamentarians who are greedy for small gains.

As long as the council can approve the war authorization, then even if the military generals do not agree, Tigara can bring the kingdom of Van Luo into a state of war.

Once you have a war mandate, it's much easier to deal with disobedient generals.
