Chapter 869: Blowing an incomprehensible
In the new era, there are many problems in the empire, social problems, and institutional problems.
This is not a problem unique to the empire, almost all countries currently have a lot of problems, the development of science and technology is too fast, so fast that in the blink of an eye, the word country has become small in the international environment, and more and more things that cannot keep up with the development of the times have begun to become burdensome, but these burdens are the most important things in every country at present.
For the Empire, class solidification is the biggest problem, not one of them. As soon as Mags came to power, he abolished classes, no longer stamped everyone with a clear label of "class", and divided people into three, six, nine, and so on. One can not call a homeless a tragabond, but does the word untouchables really disappear from the hearts of the middle and upper classes of the empire just because people don't say it?
Of course not, classes still exist, continuing to divide society into three, six, nine, and people in a more subtle way.
The Confederation has a similar problem, but their problem is strictly more serious than that of the Empire, because from the very beginning there has been a deadly law of the forest effect in this capitalist society, and if you want to grow, if you want to grow, you have to devour the weak. The brutal competitiveness of the free market has made a lot of big capitals stand out, and they have become monsters, and every time some person or company that may have the qualifications to challenge them in the future, they will start the annexation process.
Acquisition, or persecution, there is always one for them, either to become part of the body of this monster or to disappear into this forest.
What's even more troublesome is that the top of the Federation, especially the Speakers of the Coalition Parliament, each of them is a consortium, each of them represents a huge capital force, and they are doing the same thing, they are constantly swallowing up those enterprises and consortia with potential or growing rapidly to avoid risks, but in the following years, these tricks have not been so customary.
Too many young consortia have expanded rapidly, and they are connected by associations, such as the Golden Shield Society, which have fought together against the behemoths from the top of the tower, and now they have established themselves and are ready to try to attack.
The purpose of the federation to divide the entire system of government into two is to prevent the infiltration of capital forces into the government. Over the past 200 years, if it weren't for the relative absolute control of the country by the Speakers of the United Parliament, the Union would have been torn apart. The governors of each state are almost always at the head of the nascent consortium, they are all locals, they have huge industries, they employ more workers, and if they come up with independent ideas, the people below will support them.
So in response to this situation, the federal system has become two separate but overlapping systems.
Now these problems do not seem to be acute enough, and the contradictions are not fully displayed in front of people's eyes, because in this new era, there are business opportunities everywhere, and gold is everywhere. The big conglomerates in the federation focused on economic interests, temporarily avoiding collisions with traditional notification forces, and continued to accumulate strength. This is also why the unprecedented economic prosperity of the Federation over the years, beneath the surface of these prosperity, is actually full of contradictions and divisions.
The old rulers are unwilling to give up their power, and new challengers are eyeing them, ready to fight back and tear them to shreds in one fell swoop.
The sudden war against the Empire is a reconciliation of contradictions and differences between the major powers in the Federation, and these contradictions and disputes are temporarily suppressed by exporting war, but this cannot solve these problems, only to make everyone temporarily settle. In recent years, the contradictions have heated up again, and the federal government and various consortia have formulated a new plan to temporarily re-press the current contradictions in the form of exporting "economic warfare", and making the federal shield the world's settlement currency is one of the goals.
But what happens when the problem comes back and forth?
Contradictions have always existed, and they have been put aside because various policies and actions have been put aside, which does not mean that the contradictions have disappeared. In this long period of time, these contradictions have been quietly fermenting, the new capital forces are full of ambition and desire, they will not be willing to be ruled by the so-called "founding family" of the Federation all the time, as long as they have enough strength, they will definitely give the most deadly counterattack, these families who have controlled the lifeblood of the Federation one by one on the ground, and then in their softest place, tear them to pieces, and become their own nutrients!
This is the problem that the old man and his descendants need to face, urgent, and deadly. If they fail, they will never get back up, just as they did with those who tried to change the existing landscape so many years ago, and let them disappear forever!
At this point, the Empire is much better than the Federation, why say that?
Because no matter how huge the capital power of the empire is, they can only influence the trend of politics and the formulation of policies through political spokespersons, and they dare not take a clear stand to overthrow the cabinet, unless they are tired of being crooked. As long as they dare to have such thoughts, Magus will dare to send troops to send them to meet the emperors of the past, and they will definitely not be relentless.
Some people say that dictatorship is not a good thing, but sometimes being too free is also a bad thing, and the empire happens to be in it, and it is a great luck and surprise to be able to smoothly go through so many years without a large-scale civil war.
The old man's seemingly ordinary sentence hides a lot of content, if that fish is the founding family and these rulers, then those hams are the new consortium forces, they have seriously affected the interests of these rulers, and even covered the light of the rulers in some aspects.
It seems that the two are just commenting on a dish, but in fact, they have exchanged a lot of things in a sentence or two.
"Tell me about the bombs, how can we avoid the danger of the explosion without neglecting the effects of the explosion?", the old man asked the butler to take the sashimi and ham down, and now he suddenly felt a little irritated when he saw the dish. When a person reaches a certain age, he or she becomes as moody as a child.
The girl sat on one side and ate very gracefully, her eyes constantly roaming back and forth between Durin and the old man, and she felt that the two fellows were discussing something important in a way she did not understand.
For her age, the freshness and sense of mission to participate in big things surpass all other things.
She also wants to be a part of it.
