Chapter 338: Concession (Asking for Subscription)
In order to cooperate with the overseas consulate of Malacca and the Australian government, the military can be said to have made a major concession in the clearance operation, allowing the first company of the army's ace that had not yet been stationed to Malacca to serve as the main force of the clearance operation.
As far as the military is concerned, it is completely possible to act in accordance with the garrison treaty, and even the government has no right to interfere with the military's garrison and training tasks, otherwise the troops of the capital garrison will withdraw from Manchester City and enter the town of Panzhihua for training, and the government will not be so easy.
The military is a relatively independent system, and it is difficult for the government to meddle in its internal affairs, and the military bosses do not want politicians to join the army, which is not a good thing for either side.
Politicians will inevitably cultivate and co-opt those who are loyal to them, thus creating multiple hills within the army, and this consequence can be said to create an existential opportunity for politicians to carry out poisonous dishes.
Once the ambitious guys use the power of the army to fight political opponents to achieve their own poisonous goals, you can imagine what will happen later, and a bloody purge is inevitable.
Either obey your own orders or be killed, the methods used by the poisoners in history can be said to be more aware than ordinary people.
In order to appease the military, the government also made great concessions, and gave some approval to the proposal of the officers and nobles, but it was limited to the revised policy, according to the revised regulations, the children of the family who have been military for several generations will be given priority in promotion and appointment under the same circumstances.
This article can be regarded as a negation of the original direct access to the lowest rank of deputy lieutenant, but it can also be regarded as a concession, in the hands of the bigwigs who already control the internal resources of the army, whose children are given priority to be promoted, it is not up to them to have the final say.
However, in the same situation, those children born in civilian families have invisibly caused them unfairness, to say that there is never fairness, there is no real fairness in this world. Would it be fair that the Travelers relied on leading technology to become the strongest nation in the world?
Politicians rely on their own means to let their children take over their own political forces, is it fair to those civilians, so there is no absolute fairness, but at least one thing can be done, Australia can try to give every civilian child a chance to change themselves, which is not available in Daming.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty's path of taking the imperial examination, it is still very unfair to most ordinary people, because many people can't afford to read at all, and even if they have the money to study, they may not be able to get in. The unspoken rules and regulations in there are not at all lower than they are now.
What the army bosses want is that their descendants must at least have a certain degree of speaking power in this country, after all, as the crossers, they are also the builders of this country, and no one wants to see their descendants not be able to enjoy the fruits they planted back then and let others taste this kind of thing alone.
Politicians also understand the importance of this for military personnel, who can be said to serve in the military, have lost the upfront conditions for investing in many areas of the country, and are also subject to many restrictions, and they simply cannot get everything they want in exchange of interests like the political crossovers.
The people in the military just want to ensure that a small advantage exists in their own field, and if they don't have this advantage, they might as well take off their military uniforms and join the ranks of politicians early.
There is no natural ally, the Travelers, who hold power within the military, and those who are in politics will be very uneasy. Because once the power falls into the hands of those immigrants. It's hard to imagine that these people would carry out a purge of the Aboriginal Crossing Population.
Therefore, the concession is not due to the fear of the military, but also out of consideration of self-interest, and the coordination between the military and the government is very important in the current situation, because it is about to enter 1644. A major event will happen in the Ming Dynasty that will change history.
Once the relationship between the two sides becomes more and more stiff, it will inevitably affect the decision-making of Daming affairs two years later, so the cracks between the two sides need to be repaired.
Liu Dongshui and Wang Tiezhu are both representatives of the aristocracy within the army, although the army and navy do not deal with each other in peacetime. There have been quarrels between the two sides over the use of military spending, but these cannot prevent the two sides from agreeing with each other.
The army as a whole is internally a whole, and the navy and army are natural allies in addition to the garrison. They have to stand in the same camp and support each other, otherwise it will be difficult for them to make their voices heard.
"This cooperation shows the importance of solidarity, and I hope that we can have more and more opportunities for cooperation." Wang Tiehammer smiled and raised his glass to Liu Dongshui.
"Of course, there must be a lot of cooperation between us, you can rest assured of this, Lao Wang, but this time they can compromise and are forced to be helpless, I believe that it will not be long before they will introduce new countermeasures, we still have to be careful."
Liu Dongshui knows that behind the compromise is forced to be helpless, the other party will definitely not do it so easily, and will inevitably carry out a counterattack, when this counterattack will start can still be guessed, but it will definitely not be in the near future.
With the return of the garrison, the security of the capital will also be handed back to them, and the government will not do anything to damage the relationship between the two sides now, plus the Malacca clearance operation involves the construction of a cooperative steamshipyard, which is an important event related to whether Australia can become a maritime power in the future.
Even if they are angry in their hearts, they will hold back and suppress it, and wait until these things are over, they are making plans and plans, after all, they still know what is important and what is not important.
"Let's not care about this for now, at least they don't dare to do it for now, it's not an exaggeration for us to fight for a little benefit for ourselves, looking at what they do on their own, isn't it the same, compared to us." Wang Tiezhu didn't care what means the other party would use in the future, he only knew that he could pass it now, and as for the rest of the matter, it was useless to think so much now.
"It's better for you to be relieved, Lao Wang, but our army can't be so relieved, the next few tough battles will be fought, and there are things to expand the army to do, many things are in their hands, as long as a little bit of bad is enough for us to drink a pot."
"Don't worry, Lao Liu, they will give you some small troubles in the expansion of the army at most, as for those few tough battles, they will not do it at all, it is related to the future of Australia." As an outsider, Wang Tiezhu naturally sees it more clearly than Liu Dongshui, so he comforted. (To be continued......)
