Chapter 20: Chaotic Tech Scuffle VII
When humanity was on the verge of extinction on the Arabian continent, the fighting in the European theater of operations was also at its climax!
The German Confederation, which had a peasant uprising inside and was besieged externally by the armies of the three powers, finally collapsed after resisting for a year!
However, during this period, as the lethality of weapons on both sides became stronger and stronger, and the army lost more and more, resulting in heavy losses to the front-line main army of the three countries, and the death rate of veterans remained high!
In order to maintain the order of the newly occupied land, the three countries had to continuously transfer their domestic second-line troops to the newly occupied German Confederation to replenish the first-line main army, which caused a significant decline in the combat effectiveness of the first-line main army and greatly weakened the domestic defense force!
Of course, there is no war at home, and the weakening of the guard force is really not a big deal on weekdays, it's just that a Prussia, which was raised by the three countries, stood on the corpse of the German Confederation, causing a huge crisis to the three countries that were busy grabbing territory!
The Prussian peasant rebel leader had an interesting experience, he enlisted in the German Confederation's colonial expeditionary force as a teenager, participated in the brutal colonial expansion war in Canada, and fully learned and understood the war model of the contemporary army!
During the year, the leader of the rebel army performed very well in battle, and got the opportunity to return to China to study and be promoted to the military academy, but the leader of the rebel army, who was born in the bottom of the poor, was very sympathetic to the common people who were oppressed by the nobility and monarchy of the German Confederation, and during his studies at the military academy, he studied the works on the freedom of the proletariat written by a native scholar of the trial of civilization who were strictly confiscated at that time, and was deeply inspired!
In fact, the pioneers and conquerors of the European theater of operations ruled and oppressed the people for a much longer time than the trial continent and the Arabian continent, because the European theater of operations had achieved the establishment and unification of the great powers earlier, and those pioneers and conquerors naturally put the target of oppression on the low-level civilians after establishing a covenant with each other!
These pioneers and conquerors from later generations, because of the help of the system's auxiliary interface, many people regard the population and lords that can be replenished out of thin air as NPCs!
When their own power is not guaranteed, they are willing to fight for themselves in order to rely on those civilians, and they will also pay attention to the livelihood and production, but after reaching a consensus with the lords and kings of the same status around them and temporarily eliminating the external crisis, these pioneers and conquerors, who did not treat the people as human beings at all, are becoming more and more impatient with the practice of currying favor with the people below!
After a few years of the establishment of the European theater of operations as a major power and a few years of peace, the investment in people's livelihood became less and less, on the contrary, the high pioneers and conquerors, in the form of law, constantly oppressed and exploited the fruits of the people's labor, and blindly expanded their armies and lived a luxurious life!
Those pioneers and conquerors who came from later generations naturally understood the truth that when there is oppression, there is resistance, and in order to maintain their own rule, they made an implicit division of the people under their command!
Moreover, this division is not absolute, they will keep an upward channel that looks very promising, but in fact has a very serious insider operation, which is even darker and hypocritical than the ancient imperial examinations!
In this way, they take the rich class and the military class as their own support points, and the majority of other civilians as the object of oppression!
They will control a certain degree, let those civilians sway around the food and clothing line, prevent the civilians from starving to death on a large scale and become unstable, and they can openly take the excess resources in the hands of the civilians through taxes and some coercive means!
On the surface, there is no hierarchy, but the status of the people within the territory will be treated differently and obviously!
To put it bluntly, the descendants of the pioneers will always be nobles, even if he is an idiot, he can have no worries about food and clothing!
And the descendants of civilians, unless you are a genius, maybe you can get out of the stage of food and clothing through your own efforts, barely a little stronger than other civilians, to act as a dog in power, if your descendants are still the same genius, maybe you can continue to climb a little bit, theoretically speaking, a commoner appears 5 or 6 generations of geniuses, or can climb to the aristocratic level, this is the way out left by the pioneers and conquerors to the commoners at that time!
It's not completely sealed, but if you want to enter the core of power, it's basically a fool's dream, unless the descendants of the head and brain above are all Shabi one by one!
And the immortal emperor of the Russian Empire, after grasping the absolute power, even more naked tore open the disguise of this layer of democracy, and derogated those civilians to serfs, and the only way for these serfs to rise was to join the army and establish military merits!
Although the Emperor of the Russian Empire was called the most undemocratic country by the other countries of the European theater of operations, in fact, the serfs of the Russian Empire could have risen more easily!
Because military merit is open and transparent, if a soldier really makes meritorious service repeatedly and does not die, he can completely enter the core level!
That Russian emperor needs this kind of talent who can fight, so naturally he will not block this path!
Compared to the French Republic, which is full of people's democracy, there are so many examples of serfs in the Russian Empire turning to power!
In the French Republic, which has the cloak of democracy, bureaucracy is the most serious!
Their army and upper-level figures are basically the first generation of people who made revolutionaries, and their promotion and review are completely internal operations, to put it bluntly, the rise of an official does not depend on his ability, but on whether the above characters are optimistic!
The same was true of the Roman Empire, and the German Confederation was even more serious!
It was in this environment that many educated low-level civilians saw through the government's disguised democracy and began to look for their own way out, calling themselves the proletariat, meaning people without any property!
And with the efforts of several scholars, he compiled many books that were very reactionary in the eyes of the government at the time!
However, those pioneers and conquerors were after all people who came from later generations, and knew very well the means of controlling public opinion, and although there were many reactionary books, the country had always been relatively stable, and these were only theories, and it was difficult for the common people to succeed under the strict control and suppression of the state apparatus!
Until, the leader of the Prussian rebel army, nominally overthrew the German Confederation and put an end to the rule of those in the upper echelons!
The civilians will not see how much effort the three powers have exerted, they only know that the theory can really succeed! (To be continued.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info)
