Durin had been talking to the four Bundestitians for a long time, and he had changed the situation in the Empire a little and used it in his own conversation strategy.

"You must know the Empire very well, after all, we have been with each other for a long time, going back hundreds of years. Durin's words were recognized by everyone, and they all nodded.

The Commonwealth was not short-lived, but for many years it had not yet developed a concept of a "state", more like a large group of merchants living together and building some bazaars in convenient places. Gradually, these places became more and more prosperous because of the presence of merchants, and finally changed from bazaars to towns and then to cities, and after a long time of existence without a sense of statehood, these speakers, that is, the ancestors of the founding families, thought why not unite and turn the loose business alliance into a state?

The state has the advantages of the state, the regulation and utilization and management of commodities are more convenient, and it is also of great help to the management of the entire business alliance, so in the end, the commercial federation is formed, which is a different country. In some policies and systems, the federation also directly copied the imperial system, but not all, they think it is good to use it, and if they think it is bad, they don't use it, after all, there is still a big gap between the federation and the empire, whether it is the system of the state or the composition of social classes, they are almost completely different.

Now Dührin is asking this question to tell them that they have actually gone astray.

"Excessive decentralization of power carries a lot of dangers, people do not fear authority, they become free and loose, and even breed a dangerous thought. ”

"Both the empire and the federation have some of the same problems, such as the erosion of capital power and interference in political power, and many big business groups and capitalists in the empire are looking for to cultivate their own political spokesmen, and by helping these political spokesmen to continuously improve their political status, and finally profit from policy tilts. But all this is different from the federation, no matter how powerful these big conglomerates and capitalists are, and what kind of social influence they have, they must 'play' within the framework set by the cabinet. If they cross the line, they will suffer serious consequences. ”

"People are always in awe of those in power, and they are fully aware of the great power of power. This does not seem to be evident in the Federation. ”

Durin leaned back on the couch and sat down, "I have looked up some information since I went back last time, and I learned that there have been two very serious movements in the history of the Union that can be called 'rebellion'. The first was the 'retro movement' launched by a few big capitalists more than 70 years ago, and the 'parliamentary reform movement' more than 30 years ago. ”

The previous "retro movement" was initiated by several big capitalists, who believed that the founding family was plundering the interests of all the merchants, and that the country did not exist in the form of a state at the beginning, but a loosely structured union, where each big merchant had a piece of his own territory, and they circulated trade in their own territory, and there was no act or nature of any state. The alliance gradually became more and more prosperous, and more and more merchants appeared here to trade, so that these so-called "founding families" felt a great crisis.

So, they used their unprecedented influence and power from others to forcibly turn this loose alliance into a state, and to consolidate their power and wealth by controlling and plundering the interests of other merchants. This kind of behavior is as shameless as that of robbers and thieves, and what is even more shameless is that they have developed a rotten feudal and similar way of ruling for the sake of their own status, and persecuted the merchants in the Federation. For the sake of the future of the Federation, for the benefit of all businessmen, these big capitalists launched what was known as the "Retro Movement".

They advocated a federal referendum and privately linked up the big business groups and big capitalists in the federation, hoping to fundamentally dismantle the system of the speaker for life and liberate these powers from the hands of the founding family. Of course, they needed some justifiable excuse for this, such as the slogan of restoring the country to its true form, liberating power from the hands of a few, and so on, which is why it is called the "retro movement".

The consequence of this movement was that the ruling system was completely divided into two systems, and a large number of government officials joined the movement at that time, especially those who were second only to the Speaker, who could never reach the highest position of power, so some people were more willing to try to break through this shackle, and maybe they could reach the pinnacle of power in their lifetime. These people have been completely corrupted by the forces of capital, and some of them are capitalists themselves.

In that movement, the United Parliament and the Founding Families were almost overthrown, but they survived with the resources and strength in their hands, and the federal system of rule changed. The big capitalists who started this movement have fled abroad, and of course this is the official version, and they will not admit that they are brutal and do not accept the corrupt rulers who oppose them.

The second movement was the "Parliamentary Reform Movement", which was initiated by several large conglomerates in the federation at the same time, who believed that the lifetime system of the Bundestag Speaker would bring about the decay of power, and that the uncompetitive federal top would be like a pool of stagnant water, and would gradually lose its vitality until it became like some decadent feudal dynasties, and finally a little bit of erosion, making the federation a third-rate country.

After the last movement, the United Council has been firmly in control of its own power, they have begun to transform from a large family of half business and half power to a family of power, money is no longer tempting to them, all they want is to permanently consolidate the power in their hands.

The consequences of this campaign were not as serious as the last one, and of course it may have something to do with the fact that they were always vigilant that some people wanted to stab themselves, and in the end these initiators fled and died, but it also brought different changes to the Federation. That is, in addition to the United Parliament, the Federation established a new body called the Federal Parliament, and began to include the capitalists, the heads of the consortia and some other people in the society to become members of this new body. The Union Parliament delegated power to the Federal Parliament and then brought in representatives of the capitalists to compromise, reconciling the sharpened contradictions.

When Du Lin said this, the expressions on the faces of the four gentlemen changed slightly, which was not very good-looking, but Du Lin continued unconcernedly, "In addition to these two movements, there are other large and small movements, but the momentum is not huge enough, and the follow-up influence is not serious enough, so I didn't mention it." He smiled faintly, "Gentlemen, if these things happen in the federal ......," his tone suddenly strengthened, "No, it may happen the first time, but everything will not happen after that, because people don't dare and won't do that." ”

"The more dangerous something is, the more it should be in the hands of a few!"

"When people have enough wealth but don't know how to fear power, the first thing they think of is to break the rules and challenge power. ”

"There are people who have inflated their foolish ambitions because they have acquired wealth that ordinary people cannot have, and they mistakenly believe that power comes from wealth, but they do not know that wealth is really just an extension of power. ”

"Now, what we need to do is to correct their misconceptions and let them understand the world as it really is!"
