4.1 Confused factions of interest

At this time, the capital of the Oka Empire.

Imperial House of Lords

The Imperial War Department, at this time the map of the Western Continent was hung on the map, and the entire country of the northern road of the Mediterranean was on the map. Bianoca, Seaman, Roland, Hella, and the westernmost and northwestern corners of the Mediterranean, St. Sauce.

The knights, holding wooden rulers for military surveying, were constantly marking something on the map, while the general was explaining the plans for the army, and at this time in front of the circle of mahogany tables, it was relatively calm.

However, on the side of the naval faction, deliberately holding cigars in their mouths, hanging on their heads, and not looking serious, they have already let everyone see that the storm of struggle that may appear soon.

Now many of the national policies of the Oka Empire now have signs of schizophrenia.

The parliamentary system was considered by the countries of the continent to be the root of the Oka Empire. And it has been taken as a warning by the countries of the mainland and is deeply vigilant.

#

Seven hundred years ago.

At that time, the royal family of the Oka Empire, in order to allow the royal family to better coordinate domestic contradictions, formed a domestic parliament.

At that time, the industrial revolution of the Oka Empire induced a large number of conflicts of interest between the old and new aristocracy, well, the situation at that time was the same as the conflict of interests between the old and new nobles of St. Sauc today, and it was a hundred times more contradictory.

And today's Emperor Saint Thoke uses the use of authority to play a balancing act among all parties in the country to forcefully suppress the contradictions.

At that time, the Oka royal family took advantage of the position of standing at the highest point of the parliament, and in the process of parliamentary discussions, they clearly saw the balance of power of various interest factions in the country, and they stood on the winning side and successfully led as the new nobles. This ensured that the Oka royal family still retained its dominant authority in the midst of change. (The great feudal emperors seized the fruits of the victory of the bourgeoisie.) )

The Oka Empire, which adopted the parliamentary system, had the same authority as other feudal royal families on the continent at least six hundred years ago. Although the parliament has established itself in the political arena, it has ultimately assisted the Oka royal family in ruling the country.

But in the war three hundred years ago, four of the generals of the Oka royal family in the Far East were killed and six of their prisoners were missing. And on the sea, as the fortress profession of the captain of the battleship, the seven fortresses of the royal family of the Oka Empire were wiped out by the sea humans in the sea Armageddon, and the Oka royal family collapsed.

In terms of authority and strength, the royal family of the Oka Empire is not enough to continue to lead. The House of Lords, which was originally used as an auxiliary, began to ascend to the throne. Become the de facto controller of the rights of this country.

#

However, this kind of House of Lords is, after all, a country inherited from the monarch after the decline of the royal family, not a country rebuilt after the great bourgeois revolution, baptism of blood and fire. So when I inherited power, I also inherited the faults.

Monarch = power balancing technique, always leave room for the operation of power checks and balances in some places, so that the monarch has the right to speak in the balance hand.

These places, in order to show the role of the monarch's ruling, became a serious historical problem when the monarch stepped down from the position of power. The strategy between the navy and the army in each region, in which one should be the main one and who should be secondary, was very vague in those years.

There is no doubt about it: the Oka Empire is a great power on land and sea, and there is a lot of uncertainty between the navy and the army at the beginning, and the pros and cons must be explained in front of the monarch.

When the monarch now loses control, there is no room for reasonable debate between the navy and the army, and under today's parliamentary system, there is no reasonable discussion mechanism for solving problems, and it often turns into quarrels.

#

At this time, the Upper House of the Oka Empire discussed a very long historical issue.

Four thousand years ago. At that time, when the family of Saint-Heman was still alive, the central part of the Western Continent was a unified empire.

At that time, the family of St. He-Man assembled the three major inheritances of fortress, authority, and general.

But after hundreds of years of early power, the Saint-Heman family was deeply divided and the schism began. Then the centralization of the imperial center began to compromise with the local princes, and evolved into a loose alliance. Then the empire implemented the electoral system, electing princes who could represent the empire.

From the very beginning, the system of the elector was judged solely by the strength of the family.

But 2,000 years ago it became a regular ritual.

For example, the current countries must elect a king who is not more than 20 years old.

The apparent reason is that young people can lead the coalition for a long time. In fact, several Grand Duchyes did not want and did not want a skillful authority, a general, to ascend to the throne of the Alliance. Therefore, the eligibility for the king election will be weakened to under the age of twenty.

#

The last Elector was the Archduke of Oakleigh, with the exception of that, who was elected leader and rose to authority at the age of twenty-five.

After this grand duke became an authority, he was also in the era when the times made heroes. At that time, after the defeat and decline of the Oka Empire in the Eastern Continent,

The Grand Duke was in the middle of the continent. At that time, the Western Continent was uniting against the Oka Empire, and this Grand Duke was the key figure. The tooth-tickling guy who made the Oka people hate at the time. Of course, later on, the anti-Oka alliance was in turmoil because of interests. The alliance collapsed. The Oka Empire only got a critical respite.

The Oka Empire began to suppress the Archduke of Oakley for a long time, and the only thing the Archduke of Oakley could do in the second half of his life was to call for a reduction in the competition between the alliances, and became a role with the mud.

But it is undeniable that the Archduke of Oakley was a ruthless character, and during his time the wars of the families were rampant, because each family was afraid of the wrath of the people, and finally the other families found this respected leader to form an alliance and directly join the war.

And a few months ago, the Archduke of Oakley, who had survived for nearly three hundred years, died, so in theory, the election of the emperor was about to start again.

Though enough strength is a burden. The Elector has died in name only, but the name of the Elector is still there. Some powerful forces will not give up easily. The elected emperor began to hang in the air, and those upper echelons on the mainland began to act.

Oakley, Pratt & Whit, West, and Bickley, all of which were principalities of the Hemans, were now at odds with each other. And there are external forces intervening.

The careerists of the Oka Empire naturally wanted to plan something in this.

#

In the Ring Hall of the Imperial House of Lords of the Oka Empire.

When the army side will compare the countries of the continent and the land military forces, after the meeting will be completed.

Prime Minister of the Empire: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think the Empire should support Bix's candidate. ”

"What about our ally (Pratt & Whit)," an Imperial admiral asked, holding a black teacup, casually interjecting. -- On land, the policy is dominated by the army faction, and the navy is focused on the adversary at sea. It is very half-hearted for hegemony on land.

The Imperial Prime Minister explained: "Pratt & Whitney is our ally, and Bickers is also our ally. For Whipps to be the ideal ally of our country, he had to give up something. ”

The Prime Minister spoke in all seriousness about political hooligans. It caused a knowing smile from the gentlemen in the venue.

Note: "Now of the He-Mans, Pratt & Whitney is the most militarily strong. They were the key to the Oka Empire's policy on the mainland. However, for the sake of inter-state considerations, the Oka Empire does not want Pratt & Whitney to lose control. Although the Duchy of Bix is a principality, its territory is only one-twentieth of that of Whipps, and it is next to the Oka Empire, and it is completely dependent on the Oka Empire militarily

#

After the House of Lords made a decision to intervene in the political changes in the central part of the continent.

The upper echelons began a detailed discussion for the rest of the content.

The Elector is a title, and this title requires a luxurious guard configuration that requires six median classes. Two hundred professionals will guard the candidates who will participate in the election of the king. The duration of the guard is up to ten years.

Of the six median classes, Knight, Medic, and Archer were the markers, and the candidates were quickly determined.

The selection of the captain of the ship was selected by the Navy after internal discussion.

As for the median profession of animal trainer, there are three families in the Oka Empire, and these three families quarreled for a long time at the meeting, and no one was willing to come up with this candidate, and finally the prime minister relied on his authority to determine this candidate from these three families. The Prime Minister compensated the chosen families.

#

As for the last mid-class class,—— the mechanical controller, the entire council became quiet, as if the rain was coming.

Several senior admirals of the Navy closed their eyes and looked like they had nothing to do with themselves. The generals of the army faction are staring at the prime minister and trying to get the prime minister to speak. But the prime minister looked down at the information and seemed to have forgotten something. And the members of parliament were silent, everyone was waiting for something.

If the previous occupations only involve the distribution of military personnel, and the distribution of mechanical controllers has always been the focus of contradictions between the land and sea sides of the empire, the transfer of a mechanical controller is equivalent to the abolition of an important factory.

The profession of machine controller was not important two thousand years ago, but after the Industrial Revolution, it became the core of a large number of contradictions.

#

It seems that the venue has been cold for too long, which makes the atmosphere a little inappropriate.

"Ahem" the prime minister said: "The army has only divided one-third of the mechanics allocation this year"

Pack ice. Hood (rank Admiral, Occupation Fortress. He also coughed and said: "In the past few years, we have not been short of mechanics, and this year's extra quota is to make up for our previous years." ”

Field Marshal, Lin Yin Kusa (rank general, career general) immediately confronted each other and said: "Before discussing the topic of mechanic allocation, let's discuss the allocation of machine controllers this year!" The army general smelled of gunpowder coming out of his mouth.

The prime minister picked up his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, the two military veterans within the empire are going to quarrel again today.

As if insulted, Hood also slapped the table: "Is there a problem with the distribution of mechanical controllers?" In the past twenty years, the Imperial Imperial Capital Celestial Tower University, the birth of ten mechanical controllers, sea and land are five or five points. Do you want to get an inch? ”

When he was angry, the fortress deliberately dusted off the royal badge on his chest with a handkerchief.

Lin Yin Kusa ignored the royal status of the navy. He smiled angrily and said, "Since you want to say it, then talk about it, the mechanical controller of the Imperial Capital Lighthouse Factory Area." In the past twenty years, there have been six mechanics who dropped out of school on their own accord before they were about to be promoted to mechanical controllers, and then reported to your Admiralty. When we don't know? Hood, you are too ugly to eat for a few more battleships at sea. The graduate agreement signed by the land and sea parties does not include students who have not graduated.

Hood: "General Kusa, you haven't done this kind of thing to let the excellent mechanic quit early?" How many battleships are we for? Aren't you for a couple of mechanized brigades. ”

#

PS: One mechanized brigade of the Oka Empire, one armored company of twenty bipedal main battle mechs (37 mm guns), fifteen anti-infantry mechs (two water-cooled machine guns). Fifteen mortar mechs of 120 meter caliber. Fifteen howitzer trucks. Thirty tracked armored infantry # transports. The main thing is the number of mechanical transport vehicles. Such a troop numbered three thousand people and was led by three (knight marksmen). The mechanical maintenance team, led by a machine controller, is responsible for the maintenance of the machine unit and provides vehicle logistics.

#

There is an agreement on the division of the graduates, but it is clear that both sides have used small means to circumvent the agreement.

They are not only robbing mechanical controllers, but all kinds of industrial resources. From steel to nitric acid plant output. The contradictions between the two sides have been going on for a long time.

Of course, the fuse of the contradiction is that the army has heard that the navy has a very young mechanical controller (Binghe), and the navy is ready to happily open a large warship shipyard. The Army's eyes were red.

Binghe is the mechanical controller, and the army is an afterthought. By the time they found a way to dig people, the Navy had already lost a lot of production tasks to the mechanical controller. can't dig it up with normal procedures, the army is very unwilling,

But they have the means. And now, they forcibly transfer people from the naval system directly through the political mission of the Elector's escort.

The Army plans to move the young mechanical controller out of the Navy's control first. Then slowly concoct the operation.

#

The people in the Navy have also been fighting with the Army for hundreds of years, and when this meeting first started, they knew what the Army wanted to do.

In order to defend the interests of the Navy, several admirals of the Navy refused to give up an inch of land. When the Army mentions the matter of Bingnu

Lan Tao, Kexun (Admiral, Career Fortress): "Ten years? Ten years of transfer, idle that mechanical controller! Don't you want our factory to be paralyzed, are you trying to get rid of the young mechanical controller? ”

Grand Duke Lin Yin: "What is the waste?" That boy is now only thirteen years old, a minor, and you have given him such a heavy task, where is your conscience? What are you doing at your age, writing love letters to girls at school? Ten years later, at the age of twenty-three, he was in the service of the Empire. Now he's just a child laborer, and you're trampling on the laws of the Empire. ”

When the Grand Duke said the law, the knight next to him spread out the imperial code on the side, and the army was fully prepared for this controversy.

The sound of "dangdangdang" echoed in the venue.

The prime minister picked up the hammer and struck it in an attempt to end the war of words. But it doesn't stop. Instead, it stimulates the conflict like a trumpet

However, the Imperial Navy slammed the inkwell on the table: "Codex, you tell Lao Tzu about the Codex, and your army's blackheart factory will investigate carefully, and you will know what child labor is." ”

After dodging, the army man looked at the messy ink on the table, and his face was blue. With the order of the Field Marshal, the men of the War Department rushed forward.

#

Things were very chaotic after the meeting, and there were all sides to say about it.

In the words of the person concerned in the War Department, Duke Lin Yin stood up like a mountain peak, stretched out his hand to point at the navy in white uniform opposite: "Made these salted fish!" "The knights of the army formed a warband and swept the navy into pieces.

In the words of the Admiralty parties, when Duke Hood threw out the inkwell with aristocratic grace, the head of the army jumped out like a fried wild dog, and fell right in front of the navy. Then he was beaten and scurried

In the eyes of the rest of the House of Lords, after the two groups of people finished scolding, in the "urging" of the prime minister, they immediately began to fight and exchange feelings in a "hurry".

led to the disruption of the Upper Council. The parliamentarians evacuated 'in a hurry'. These bastards stage an all-out military parade in parliament and are part of almost every discussion of vital interests.

A few unconscionable ones gathered in the corner of the meeting to quietly bet on whether the brawl would be won by the navy or the army.
