Chapter VII

The term of office of the head of the empire was ten years, and although the head of state could theoretically be re-elected indefinitely, the good start of the founding emperor Emperor Wenhuang's only three consecutive terms made a term of office no more than three a dead rule by default.

In the year 213 of the Imperial Calendar, the first National Assembly was convened, which formally recognized the legitimacy of the National Assembly as the supreme authority of checks and balances, and the term of office of the head of state was reduced to two terms.

Although it is said that the head of state can still hold the supreme power for a maximum of 20 years, since ancient times, the back waves of the Yangtze River have pushed the front waves, and the descendants of the supreme power have always been able to turn the term of office of the head of state into a term of ten years - the wind is always beaten away by the rain, as has been the case since ancient times.

This year's head of state, from the moment he took office, has vigorously developed the imperial economy, and has also maintained the same foreign policy as the National Assembly, which many believe is the only head of state from the Long family to restrain military power in a century.

After all, although the National Assembly represents all the citizens of the empire, there is no shortage of support behind the parliamentarians - the military wants to have more say, and the chaebols want to take in more profits, and the war has blocked their way to prosperity.

Therefore, the Führer, who is in line with the National Assembly, has been criticized by the military.

But who can understand the real face under the political mask?

Ye Xiao, who was in his "previous life", once despised the head of state named Long Xiaotian, but when the head of state stepped down from the throne of supreme power and took charge of the expanded Black Flag Army, he knew what an iron-blooded lord this head of state who was bent on developing the empire's economy!

……

It was a top-secret meeting at the highest levels of the Empire.

There were only seven participants, namely Long Xiaotian, the head of state, Borui, the prime minister, Qin Liangyu, chairman of the Supervisory Commission, Feng Lin, the speaker of the National Assembly, Zhao Zuoming, the standing committee member of the Military Affairs Yuan, Najie, the supreme judge of the Law Yuan, and He Wangyang, the first veteran of the House of Lords.

The biggest reliance on the power of the He clan is Bo Rui and He Wangyang, Bo Rui was born in an ordinary background, but it is precisely because of the He clan that he can take charge of the imperial civil rights and serve as the prime minister of the Government Council, and the first patriarch of the House of Lords, who represents the right to speak of the meritorious aristocracy, is also ranked high in the imperial leadership.

Seven imperial giants, two of them belong to the same clan, and their power can be imagined - but the prosperity is bound to decline, and the recent Southeast Secret Theft Incident has caused a great contradiction between Borui and the He clan.

Bo Rui is a giant of the political forces of the He clan, but as the prime minister of the empire, his own ethics must be flawless, otherwise he will not be able to control the civil rights of the empire, high-level politics sometimes does not need evidence, and the suspicion that the He clan cannot be cleared in the theft of secrets makes Bo Rui and this political group go further and further away - now it is a self-contained system!

Although He Wangyang has always wanted to make up for the crack, since the crack has been generated, how can it be easily repaired?

After several failures, the He clan finally recognized the facts and cut off the dream of being promoted to the royal family, and the first patriarch also became more consciously a rare mud bodhisattva at the meeting of the Central Bureau.

But today, this mud bodhisattva was stunned by the document engraved with the word top secret in front of him!

"It can't be!"

Even though Bo Rui was independent from the political forces of the He clan, He Wangyang had never lost his temper, but now, he was shocked and shouted out in discoloration!

Of course it's impossible!

How could the Ho people betray the Empire?

"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds!" Admiral Zhao Zuoming sneered.

He Wangyang didn't care about Zhao Zuoming's sneer, and after quickly calming down, he said: "Mingyuan was grown up by me, if you want to say that he is selfish, I believe it!" But if you want to say that he betrayed the empire, I firmly don't believe it! ”

"Keep reading below!" Zhao Zuoming was angry with He Wangyang, the old fox, so he said a word without yin or yang, seeing Zhao Zuoming's attitude, He Wangyang was shocked in his heart, and patiently began to flip through this thick stack of top-secret documents.

"Nonsense! Myths confuse the public! Damn it! How can a dignified imperial soldier be reduced to a god? After patiently reading the document, He Wangyang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then roared with an angry face.

To his surprise, none of the other six imperial bigwigs spoke, and no one even moved, He Wangyang couldn't help but be shocked, things were beyond his imagination! It's ......

"Let me explain......" After the Supreme Judge Najie coughed, he said slowly: "The project of the spiritual world, the empire has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and it can even be called the most important national weapon of the empire, so the relevant information is absolutely confidential. ”

"This lucky person has been monitored by the special forces of the Court of Justice, and combined with all kinds of deductions and speculations, I can guarantee that he is indeed the only lucky person who learned about the future in the predicted event last year!"

"This has been confirmed by several mentor-level masters of the Imperial Demon Research Academy!"

The full name of the Imperial Magic Research Institute is the Imperial Academy of Magic, and it is also the top in-law of the Magician Association, and all the most high-end magical talents in the empire are gathered in it, and there are only a few people who can be called mentor-level masters, and their deterrent power is not necessarily weaker than that of the Standing Committee of the Central Bureau-although they are only honorary members of the Central Bureau.

But their influence is unparalleled!

Since Najie proved that the lucky person of the Ye clan was the one who truly understood the future, and had the Da Na of the Demon Research Academy to endorse him, there was no doubt about the identity of this person.

"But no one can guarantee that what he says is not selfish!" After He Wangyang was initially frightened, he returned to the true colors of an old fox, and his words went straight to the core - which made Admiral Zhao Zuoming very disappointed.

"Let me sum up, well, his name is Ye Xiao, right, Ye Xiao is currently focusing on the major events, first, He Mingyuan's treason, second, the war will break out in 662, and third, the empire will lose the war and lose the imperial hegemony!" He Wangyang summed up the core of the document and couldn't help sneering: "What is the war potential of the empire, you all have the bottom in your hearts, Mingyuan's treason case, not to mention, there are still three years before the outbreak of the war, and we can't find out, but the third point, this alone, I am full of doubts about his words!" ”

"I don't think so!" Admiral Zhao Zuoming retorted: "Ye Xiao's child's story, the empire was besieged by the whole world, first lost the first hand in the land bridge, and then was stabbed by Amethyst and the Japanese Alliance and lost the land bridge, resulting in the war burning in the homeland, which lasted for ten years and was finally defeated. ”

"In response to Ye Xiao's intelligence that the Japanese League is trying to reform new tactics, the Ministry of Intelligence immediately sent a commissioner to form an investigation team, and it has now been confirmed that there are at least three divisions of the Japanese League army, which is conducting training in the no-man's land as a reserve, although it has not stolen the training lesson plan of the Japanese League, but according to the pictures taken secretly by the unmanned puppet machine, it is very similar to the synthesis mode and precision warfare proposed by Ye Xiao!"

"For this, the Empire has lost thirteen excellent agents!"

Thinking that the Japanese army of at least three divisions was quietly carrying out military reform, General Zhao Zuoming had a fiery urgency - on the road to strengthening the army, the empire must not be thrown away by the enemy!

Precision Warfare!

After proposing the theory and synthetic mode of precision warfare in the Western Theater, General Zhao Zuoming was keenly aware of the innovative significance of this new type of tactics, and while rejoicing that there were talented people in the empire who were sharp-eyed and open-minded, the general also quietly ordered the internal security system to check the scrapped manuscripts of the imperial military journals.

The conclusion made Admiral Zhao Zuoming shudder - the precision warfare mode had been proposed by the officers of the empire a long time ago, and the synthetic mode was also suggested to be tried, but these manuscripts were all identified as scrapped!

There are all kinds of signs that someone is secretly dragging the empire back!

The general couldn't help but put the object of suspicion on the head of the He clan.

"In terms of military reform, we can't come up with an idea, but if it's convenient, I want to meet this lucky man who can be called the prophet of the empire!" Speaker Feng Lin, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

"I want to see it too!" He Wangyang said.

"Yes!" Long Xiaotian said indifferently.
