Episode 7 The Struggle for Power

Among the more than 30 ministers in the Kangnai government, the post of defense minister is the one that has attracted the most attention from the three major forces of the country. After all www.biquge.info the Minister of Defense can be equivalent to the Generalissimo in the old system, and once he leads the troops, "he will not be subject to military orders abroad." If he controls the Minister of Defense, he will have a certain amount of military power, which is extremely important for the Gui and the four tribes, whose military strength is seriously limited. Therefore, in order to compete for the candidate for this position, the Gui clan, the four clans and the Blue Star Autonomous Group fought for each other, openly and secretly, for several weeks.

However, it is not possible for the Minister of Defense of the Republic to serve a certain force, or to be subordinate to a certain force, and within the Republican system, as a figure in command of the three armed forces, the post of Minister of Defense must not only balance the interaction of the three major forces, but also assume the important responsibility of integrating the three armed forces.

After some fierce debate, the people of the three major forces each made certain concessions, and finally made a compromise, and none of the three sides sent someone to the post of defense minister, but chose to be in a neutral position, and Zhang Tiande, the commander of the three armed forces selected by the Shizu Alliance in the southern part of the Guizhou State, took this position.

Although Zhang Tiande's prestige and cultivation are not high, as a person independent of the three major forces, and he also has a strong ability to coordinate in the World Clan Alliance, he can be regarded as a hero in the battle against the Vietnamese army, and his prestige among the people of Gui is not low.

However, although Zhang Tiande looks quite loyal on the outside, he is very capable of action, and the first thing he did after taking office was to immediately start the reorganization and merger of the armies of the three major forces, which is the most difficult bone to gnaw in the current reform of Guiguo.

Although the merger of the armed forces of the three major forces and the establishment of a joint army have long been included in the provisions of the Founding Convention, any of the three major forces is somewhat resistant to the reorganization and integration of its own army. Whether it is the royal soldiers of the Gui clan or the children of the Four Clans Alliance, even the mortal army has many officers who oppose this.

However, under the strong pressure of the Blue Star Autonomous Regiment, the Fan Army naturally had to obey orders, and the Gui and the Four Clans finally accepted the order to accept the Ministry of Defense. The 50,000 Gui army, the 40,000 soldiers of the four tribes, and the 250,000 Fan army were reorganized into one army, and this new army was named the Republican Army.

Zhang Tiande carried out drastic reforms of the republican army, and he eliminated a large number of soldiers with low cultivation and lack of loyalty to the republic, leaving only soldiers with strong fighting will and strong obedience, which was completely different from the previous monk army. After some streamlining, the Republican Army was reduced to more than 100,000 people, and its establishment and weaponry completely referred to the formation of the ordinary army, becoming a new type of army that combines cultivation and modern weapons.

Of course, in order to balance the three major forces, the republican army also retained a large number of officers of the three major forces, Tang Long, Schroeder, Ivanov and the other three Dan Realm commanders of the Gui clan, and the two late realm commanders of the four clans were appointed as the eight generals of the republican army, each commanding a republican army corps that mixed the armies of the three major forces.

The series of reform measures initiated by the Kangnai government are unprecedented in the Gui State and even in the Terran Continent. The reform measures not only incorporated a large number of earth governance concepts, but also integrated many practices during the reign of the Gui people, but mainly based on modern management methods.

The new reform measures soon caused great discomfort among the officials of the Gui and Si ethnic groups in the government. Many of these two forces were originally only pampered monks in their clans, and they only knew how to cultivate and enjoy themselves, and rarely used their brains, and they had not thought about how to govern a country at all, and the departments that many people were in charge of had become difficult to carry out their work.

And the "incompetence" of these people in the two major forces just gave the Blue Star Autonomous Group the opportunity to control state power. Because the people of the two major forces do not know how to manage and cannot manage, they have to rely on the new officials appointed by the Blue Star Autonomous Group who know how to manage, and the power naturally falls into the hands of the Blue Star Autonomous Group. Under the covert control of the convention committee, the decision-making and implementation of almost every department came from the hands of the members of the autonomous group, and the people of the two major forces were completely set aside because they did not understand the "business".

Nominally, the Van Xiu Party is the ruling party of the country because it has won a majority in the National Assembly, and the other two major parties also have a lot of power as opposition parties and participating parties. However, because of the administrative power, under the operation of the Blue Star Autonomous Group, the power of the entire republic is in the hands of the core of the Autonomous Group, the Blue Star Autonomous Group Convention.

The people of the autonomous group know very well that although they have succeeded in establishing a republic, neither the Gui or the four ethnic groups will accept the modern system of the republic so easily, and only by firmly grasping the power of the state can they suppress these two major forces, and the republic system can be consolidated for a long time.

An important pillar to suppress the two major forces is the first person to cultivate the truth of the autonomous group, Lin Da! How to hold on to Lin Da's special status is something that the autonomous group will continue to consider.

At Kangnai's suggestion, the National Assembly soon passed a resolution to confer on Linda the honorary title of the Grand Master of the Protector of the Republic of Fanxiu! In this way, after the death of the former royal family, King Gui, the Republic finally had a first monk who could control the whole country. Lin Da's existence not only suppressed the Dan Realm monks of the two major forces in the country, but also served as an important existence to resist the high-level monks of other surrounding countries.

In addition, in order to better control the various forces in the country and detect various signs of threat to the rule of the Blue Star Autonomous Regiment, the Autonomous Group also secretly established an espionage system directly managed by them. Referring to the practices of various countries on the earth, they secretly established espionage and intelligence agencies, including the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and so on. In order to keep secrets, the Cornaic government even went so far as to bypass Congress to set up these institutions, and with the help of Arden, they raised a lot of money.

As organizations set up by the Autonomous Corps themselves, the heads of these institutions are naturally all members of the Autonomous Corps, and even the most ordinary staff members are members of the Vanxiu Party, while Danny, as the head of several agencies, naturally becomes the head of the intelligence department.

After some hard work, the Blue Star Autonomous Group has finally gained a firm foothold on the Terran continent and established a world that belongs to them, although there are still many difficulties in front of them, but this has made a good start after all. However, they are not satisfied with what they have achieved now, and in their hearts, there is another, greater purpose.
