Chapter 9 The Sun Also Rises

"'True God'> 'Elf'> 'God of the World.'"

Needless to say, the existence of the true gods is told by the elves themselves, and there is only one message: they are created by the true God (the Creator). And the gods of the world also claim to be the supreme agents of the true gods in this land - the supremacy of actual power or fart is two theories, and the forces that can create the two "species" of elves and gods are in a category that human beings cannot understand today.

Yucrochatia's confession provides more details. In her vague memory, the distance between the stars was as easy as Vishnu's three steps, and it was even easier to make and crush the stars.

This is not surprising at all. Since the elves' methods are more advanced than those of today's humans, it is not surprising that the "true gods" who are revered by the elves as the "creator" have this power.

From the shut-in-the-ground elves stationed in Mendong City, no human being could get any further information about the gods of the world or even the true gods. The young people with the highest favorability only got the message "We won't be tied up by the kind of thing in your world that sells twenty-four dollars and nine bags and transports them to your home, yes, no amount of them."

However, just this one piece of information is enough to tilt the balance of the abilities of the gods and elves in the present world to one side. If it weren't for tradition and ease of integration with the data of the bilunar planet, researchers from China would have relegated Yucrochatia to a "divine servant" - he couldn't even break free from a piece of cloth tape, so he came out to dance the gods? Isn't it a little more patterned?

Actually, that's a bit of an exaggeration. The strength of the cloth tape would have been debatable if it weren't for the sticky foam and tasers that turned the gods into a position where the SCP team members were able to manipulate their bodies to the maximum extent that they could not exert their strength. It's not that the soldiers of the Red Dragon Nation don't have the experience of cutting the living gods into pulp, but it's a pity that they didn't have time to tie the ropes for the living gods before they were killed.

Whoever is caught or who is killed, the morning sun rises as usual in the port of Hilzi. And the lost soul can't wait for the soul of the team, the core main output is also the main T and the leader of the god-level auxiliary Ucro Shatia, Marshal Rucha and the Semibizero, the overseer of the army, had to take the last group of soldiers of the Double Moon Sect to board the ship and retreat, and even the magistrate of Hilqi didn't have time to say hello. When the magistrate put on his coat and hat and walked out of the house, he was overwhelmed to find that the grandfathers who had been entrenched here for more than half a year had run away, and in the blink of an eye, someone came to report that the advance of Elta's army was approaching again.

The Elta intervention of the Church of the Two Moons came to an end so uneventfully. Except for the port of Xierqi, the Bilunar Sect troops in the other ports were even more frantically fleeing by ship in an unorganized and undisciplined situation. They were the luckiest to be able to escape, with hundreds of thousands of free laborers waiting for their distant relatives to scrape together the money they needed to redeem themselves in prisoner camps across Elta.

A year ago, the mages and clerics of the Church of the Two Moons watched with pride as the Eltasi Army stepped through the portal, claiming the untold riches of the unknown for them. Only a year later, they were defeated and ran away without saying a word, and they also lost their strongest combat power. As for the number of battle losses and captures that people almost can't and dare not count, I'm afraid it's not a pain in the flesh compared to the loss of combat power of the gods in the present world......

After eliminating the threat of the gods of the world, the infantry units transported by ship and cart drove into Hilqi one by one. Their neat steps on the stone-brick streets of Hilzi resemble a miniature military parade, marking the end of Elta's war of liberation. At the same time, the city of Mendong set off gun salutes and rang bells in the suburbs to celebrate the defeat of the invaders and the final victory of the people of Elta.

"You'll have to attend the Victory Luncheon later, and you'll be admitted at twelve o'clock."

In the "Emperor Floor" of Mendong City, a secretary in a suit and leather shoes held a schedule and urged Doniva who was changing clothes in front of the mirror.

"Do you need to speak? I don't seem to have prepared a speech. Doniva's voice was a little unhappy—the first translation of The Count of Monte Cristo in his hand had only just been read.

"No, I don't." The secretary was originally a housekeeper in Doniva Castle, but with some clerical training. "You just have to sit in the first seat."

Doniva put on a gorgeous thin coat and shook it back and forth in front of the mirror before picking up the conversation: "It's really pleasant. So what else is there for today? ”

"In the afternoon, if you wish, attend a seminar on the establishment of the Advisory Group and the Ministers of the Ministries and the Legal Research Group, and the Magical Association."

"Then we have to go...... And what about that night? I remember arranging a date with Miss Bezesala......"

"Yes, sir."

And in the conference room a few floors downstairs on the Emperor's Floor, the sound of pages turning and passionate negotiations resounded. The general framework of the new Elta has long been delineated by the big names themselves. The details of magic, which must be adapted to local conditions and the local situation of Elta, must be discussed repeatedly in order to make appropriate decisions.

As a department that has always existed in essence in the Emperor's close staff, is it necessary to keep a place in the Elta Empire when magic is declining and science is on the rise? Or will it be merged into the Ministry of Science and Technology as an affiliate of "scientifically studying magic"? Such a problem is only one of the dozens of very common, and no wise person can conclude behind closed doors that the only way to solve this problem is to let two civilizations collide with each other.

As before, the Emperor Doniva will retain imperial power until there is a chance to hold differential parliamentary elections throughout Elta - one of the objectives of the first five-year plan, which is still in the draft stage. Until then, the Elta Imperial Government will be rebuilt. The structure of the nascent Elta Empire's government was approximately as follows:

The Imperial Family, the Supreme Court of the Elta Empire, and the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of the Elta Empire are the highest level of government organs.

Sixteen departments, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Security, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Culture and Education, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Construction, are directly subordinate departments of the Elta State Council - as many more are added in the future.

The advisory group, which plays an almost decisive role in the various affairs of Elta, will be disintegrated into various departments to serve as departmental advisers. Of course, their advice is still more than "instructive".

As for the division of the provinces, it is basically a dismemberment of the original feudal structure. Taking West El Tower as an example, in addition to the two enclaves of Qimendong City and Portal Base, it is divided into five provinces and regions: Qunling Province, South Noi Province and North Noi Province.

It's just that from Garcia to Hirzi, most of the Elta continent is still in ruins, and no matter how much the team in Mendong City divides the provinces and cities, it is useless - there is no royal law, no law and order, and there is no unified management, and there is still a long way to go before the new Elta can truly become a full-scale machine.

To re-establish order in areas that have largely withered, management and violent institutions are needed. It is clearly not feasible to directly decentralize Chinese civil servants to local areas. In the event of an incident, even the rapid reaction forces deployed at the provincial and autonomous levels will not be able to arrive immediately, with unimaginable consequences. In addition, there are still a large number of city and county-level jurisdictions with a sufficient population in Elta, and the number of Chinese civil servants who want to use key members is slightly insufficient, and there is a danger that they will be hollowed out by the local forces of Elta. As for the shortage of suitable grass-roots personnel in various departments, this point does not need to be repeated.

Since this is Elta's ball, then it is reasonable to let Elta play it on their own. The advice given by Doniva's advisory group was also that of the Chinese side, except for the areas that had suffered badly, the magistrates of the Charles period and the year of turmoil should be the same: one person was in charge of affairs, large and small, and did not levy taxes, and provided grain support when necessary, but there were random patrols of the army to check the state of administration and suppress banditry.

With the exception of military and paramilitary units patrolling the various jurisdictions, government departments are not yet established in these areas where there are no development plans, as they are not necessary. At this stage, the essence of governance in these areas beyond the reach of the central whip of Elta can be summed up in only one word: "stability".

Allowing the movement of population, allowing residents to develop their own landless land, and still allowing local enlightened forces to develop local industries on their own with the help of external forces, is fundamentally to maintain local order -- not to seek no merit, but to seek no fault. Elta had already lost a lot of blood in the previous demographic crisis and the subsequent war, but there was nothing else she could do but place it before the potional arrived.

Against this backdrop, even the economic problems of magistrates can be appropriately relaxed. The ruling magistrates should self-fertilize within reasonable limits, and if they do not step on the red line drawn by the center of Doniva, they will resolutely dispose of the oil and water that self-fertilize if they come from the people's fat and people's ointment; Second, we must resolutely carry out the tasks assigned by the Doniva Central Committee; Third, you should also consider whether you will be hung on a lamp pole in the future if you are too fattened. As for the magistrates who are properly enriching themselves within the balance and do not want to do evil and solve the problem of their own affairs, then the central government of the Elta Empire will be happy to do so.

This means that until the road network and telegraph and telephone networks are unimpeded, the new Elta is still not suitable for expanding the "Chinese experience" to the whole territory. Of course, the economic center and various industrial and agricultural industries will gradually spread outward, and they will be located in suitable locations. With the implementation of capital and labor demand, as well as the phased formation of corresponding industrial support, local transformation will also be a matter of course. The diffusion of industry and agriculture depended first and foremost on the completion and improvement of the Elta transportation system......

In short, it is still the same sentence, "If you want to be rich, build more roads".
