Chapter 397: Why Don't You Fight the British
Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info European kings have naturally long been aware of the threat of education and industrialization to their domination, but unfortunately, there is not only one country in this world, if you do not move forward, you will be overtaken by others, and then it will be annexed, so look at it, choose to rest on your laurels and maintain your rule and wait for the future failures that will inevitably occur, it is better to choose to keep pace with the times, open to work, and in the future when encountering a revolutionary crisis, and then try to make up for it, maybe you can find a way out, and besides, who can be sure that you will lose in foreign wars?
As long as the victory continues along the way, even the monarchy representing backwardness and power can continue, and it is a big deal to change its meaning to be closer to the people and divide some less important interests, so the constitutional monarchy was born......
This is the way out that those ancient monarchies have found, if they do not move forward, they will perish, and if they move forward, they will easily self-destruct, and the way of compromise will naturally become more and more popular!
Britain has survived two world wars and is dying, but they can still maintain their political system, which is inseparable from their lack of defeat!
However, these are all later words, and now the wave of revolution has just broken out, and the monarchs are still trying to control the democratic trend of thought and spare no effort to strike at the revolutionary forces!
However, when Britain and Russia secretly colluded with the revolutionary forces, it was proved that the monarchy had begun to compromise with the revolution, because they found that when the revolutionary fervor had dissipated, these revolutionary armies that claimed to be democratic were not fundamentally different from the original monarchy!
In the republic, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, but the rank has changed, and those founding generals and leaders have become the original emperors and nobles, but due to the rules of correctness of the political line, they have canceled the name of the king and nobles among the commoners, and replaced them with very new consuls and revolutionary armies!
It is a pity that the outward reform does not mean the difference on the inside, democracy can only be a utopian dream after all, and the newly appointed consuls and generals, like the monarch and the nobility, can enjoy the glory and wealth, while the commoners below are still as tired as before, running around for three meals a day!
The only difference is that the consuls and generals are smarter than the monarchs and nobles, and they do not define themselves as an oppressive class in the open, but as leaders of the people!
All actions must be preceded by the general interests of the state and the people, but unfortunately, the majority of the people themselves do not feel that they need those interests, and of course, it is impossible for a civilian to shout the word 'no' to the leaders, because those who do so will not see the sun tomorrow......
Although the essence remains the same, it is absolutely necessary to whitewash the appearance, and with such a cloak of democracy, those common people will not find an excuse to continue the revolution, can it be said that it is still for freedom and democracy?
But isn't the current government priding itself on freedom and democracy?
Besides, with a new leader, who can guarantee that it will not be the same as the current leader?
This is the 'correct political line', the class still exists, but the people can no longer find a reason to fight and fight for it, so the country is stable, and the government can basically be maintained as long as it does not become so stupid that it makes the majority of people hungry!
It is precisely the correctness of this political line that has allowed this political model to spread rapidly under the guise of democracy, and even in the 21st century, most of the countries in the world have become 'democratic' countries!
Zhao Dutian naturally understands this truth, but unfortunately, he can't learn like the so-called correct political line, the reason is very simple, because he has the hope of immortality!
As a symbol of dictatorship, the king will give the people many reasons to rebel, but he has a very good advantage, unlimited power and 'Chrysostom'!
It is true that the apparent absolute monarchy is not as deceptive as the cloak of 'democracy', but the apparent monarch can make the dictatorship unshakable and become justified, as long as the revolution at the lower level cannot succeed, this title of king is not deprived, and Zhao Dutian can enjoy it forever!
And 'democratic' politics cannot do this, the people are not fools, what is the difference between a person sitting in the highest position of power all day long and the emperor?
Therefore, the above position needs to be constantly replaced, and the ruling class is not just one seat anyway, there are many seats above, and everyone can take turns to maintain the power of this circle!
What's more, there are also people who secretly control the power of the state!
As a result, when the common people saw that the boss above would change after a while, it seemed to be much fairer than an emperor, and naturally, the people could better accept this kind of rule in their hearts, even if the class was still the same, as long as there was something to eat, most people were still afraid of death!
However, Zhao Dutian knows very well what he relies on, he can't afford to play the kind of political game that takes turns to do the world, he doesn't have a huge family force behind him, once he leaves that position, there will be too many uncertainties, so he must maintain this kind of superficial absolute monarchy system!
Zhao Dutian wants to maintain this system, and at the same time understands the biggest nemesis of this system, so naturally he cannot allow the revolutionary form to expand!
As long as this world is not unified by a single state, the absolute monarchy is likely to collapse in a foreign war!
This is the reason why Zhao Dutian did not wage war against the most powerful British Empire, but allied with it!
The English Empire has a vast colony, human resources are not a problem at all, the economy has the pearl of India and the gold of South Africa, and the industrial strength is one of the best in Europe......
Perhaps, Zhao Dutian can use his scientific and technological advantages to drain Britain's blood little by little, and take advantage of the European revolution to pull Britain to kill this old world power, but!
When Zhao Dutian defeated the British, the revolutionary civil war in Europe would inevitably subside, and the defeat of the losing British Empire in the foreign war was likely to be turned into a 'democratic' republic with advanced significance by Zhao Dutian!
In the political game, a veil of cloak is a rather lethal weapon, and the oppressed people, who cannot find a reason for revolution, can easily be led to anger by the introduction of foreign wars, and then explode into higher combat effectiveness!
This is the biggest reason why the republic is stronger than the monarchy!
Therefore, Zhao Dutian would rather face a monarchy with limited potential in the future than a republic system with strong diffusion capacity in the future!
The experience of the 21st century is enough for Zhao Dutian to see through the terrible agitation of the system!
