Melbourne

On New Year's Day of the 30th year, the emperor and his entourage spent time in what is now the Melbourne Palace, which is a typical French-style palace building, located on the banks of the beautiful Yarra River, and is a palace-like building covering an area of about 20 acres.

After all, the Ocean Empire is a country established by overseas Chinese, with a vast territory covering six continents of the world, and the deep integration of Chinese and Western cultures, gradually developing a Shanghai-style culture characterized by wealth, prosperity and freedom, leading the fashion trend in the entire Pacific Rim region.

This

It is reflected in various aspects such as urban architecture, clothing, automobile culture that emphasizes freedom and individuality, film records, and the imperial administrative system, forming a new cultural phenomenon with great vitality.

If nothing else, just take the beach culture as an example, which clearly reflects the characteristics of the blend of Chinese and Western cultures.

Ocean Empire is the country with the largest number of islands in the world, with more than 36,000 islands located on 6 continents, and is an out-and-out country of 10,000 islands, so it has extremely rich invincible seascape resources.

With the economic prosperity and development of the Ocean Empire, the wealthy middle class gradually occupied the mainstream of society, and after meeting the basic requirements of clothing, food, housing and transportation, people's daily consumption needs gradually diversified, further enriching the connotation of Shanghai-style culture.

Among them

Scenic tourism, overseas state tourism and overseas tourism, self-driving field tours have emerged, and beach tourism is an important part of the tourism industry.

Just take the example of the empire itself

From the Great Barrier Reef near Darwin in northern Queensland, Qingdao Harbour Beach, Brisbane Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Beilun and Sydney Bay, Melbourne and Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, and the beautiful island of Tasmania, thousands of kilometres of coastline are dazzling.

And these beautiful sea views attract a large number of tourists to linger, thus giving birth to the tourism industry chain.

With the integration of Western open-mindedness, there are often a large number of tourists in swimsuits frolicking in the water on the beachside, men of course swim shorts, while women mostly wear one-piece swimsuits, and the requirement is that the swim skirt should cover a punch above the knee at a minimum.

There has also been a social debate about young women wearing revealing swim dresses on the seafront, with newspapers and radio views on the ground.

For such a new thing, the imperial emperor Li Fushou had an open-minded attitude;

We should be bold in practice, argue in many ways, put issues on the surface and argue on the surface, and formulate reasonable rules on the basis of mainstream public opinion.

When women's swimsuits first appeared, they aroused strong disgust from many conservative old masters, and strongly criticized them as immoral, morally corrupt, unsightly, and unsightly.

However, the swim skirt greatly liberated the woman's nature and met the needs of young men and women in close contact with nature, and was soon loved by trendy men and women, and gradually popularized.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

The opinions of the two sides were inconsiderate in the newspapers and radio stations, and it was difficult to reach a conclusion for a while.

But as time went on, many young women in swim dresses appeared in pictorials, further sparking a beach tourism boom and more people embracing the new thing.

Synthesis of opinions from all sides

The relevant government departments stipulate that swim skirts are limited to beach wear, and no skin more than the size of a cigarette box should be exposed from the neckline down (calculated on the basis of the neckline), and the swim skirt must cover 20 cm of arms from the shoulders and a fist above the knee.

Swimsuit skirts are never seen in today's Shenzhou Continent, but they can be seen everywhere on the beaches of the Ocean Empire, which is that after the collision and integration of Eastern and Western cultures, the Ocean Empire has a more enlightened attitude towards new things, rather than being killed with a stick.

There are many other such examples, such as women's right to participate in politics, the right to vote, the education system, the replacement of traditional handicrafts by machines, the aviation club, how to position the actors, singers and movie stars, the reform of simplified Chinese characters, etc., which often cause great social discussions.

In the palace

Li Fushou was walking in the garden with his hands behind his back, and he was chatting with Lord Li Xiaozu, Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had come to report on his work, and he happened to talk about this issue.

He said;

"Since the second industrial revolution, new technological inventions have emerged one after another, and the development of aircraft, ships, automobiles, chemicals, clothing and communication industries has greatly changed the social form, and many new things, new ideas, new ideas, and new technologies have emerged, which have a profound impact on the entire empire and even everyone.

Whether those in power adopt an inclusive and open attitude or a stubborn and conservative attitude will have a huge impact on the country.

Since the end of the last century, England has entered the peak of glory, and its national policy has become increasingly conservative, and it has not been able to catch up with the second wave of industrial revolution represented by electrification, and has been overtaken by the newly industrialized countries such as the Ocean Empire, Germany and the United States, and has been left far behind.

We can see that in the world war, the old industrial countries of England and France were unable to cope with their strength, and were defeated by the emerging German Empire.

In order to win the war, it is necessary to hurt people with their own lives.

With more than 200 years of colonial world heritage, the Entente group led by Britain and France finally won the world war, but also almost exhausted its vitality.

From an international geopolitical point of view

In the past, the German Empire was in the way, and now the Soviet Union and Russia are in the way, and the forces of the old European continent represented by Britain and France could not be distracted from other things, and had to have a suspicious mentality and the empire to be hypocritical.

The rise of Soviet Russia is the greatest challenge facing Europe, and it is the basis for the compromise and cooperation between the new world forces represented by the empire and the old European forces.

Once this foundation is gone, the sharp contradiction between the old and new forces will intensify, and the competition between the white world and the Chinese world will gradually evolve into the main contradiction in the world.

The deterioration of bilateral relations comes from the evolution into a large-scale war, which is a high-probability event.

Only by clearly seeing this can we grasp the pulse of the current international situation and embark on a path of rise that is in line with the strategic interests of the empire.

There is a long way to go.

The rise of the Ocean Empire requires the efforts of several generations, sitting high in the temple, and watching the world from the sidelines requires great wisdom.

That's the only way

Only then can we be as immobile as a mountain, not confused, and make the right choice that is in line with the interests of the nation and the empire. ”

Speaking of which

Li Fushou paused, looked at the garden full of Ziyanhong and sighed lightly, and continued; "The great fortune of the empire needs to be carefully cared for by generations of far-sighted political elites, and the future is the world of your younger generation."

After speaking, he looked at Li Xiaozu with gentle eyes, and his eyes showed expectation.

At this point, there is no need to say more.

Li Xiaozu felt the warm current in his heart at this time, thousands of thoughts came to his heart, and when he looked up, he saw that the tall and upright figure of the saint had become gloomy, and the gray hair could not hide the traces of the years, and the heartfelt feelings of the curtain came out.

"Holy ......"

He choked in his throat for a while, and he couldn't even speak.

In Li Xiaozu's mind, today's saint is a loving elder like a teacher and a father, and it is also a totem of respect, a towering mountain that will never fall.

Thinking of the unbearable place, his eyes turned red.

"People can't resist the destiny of heaven......" Li Fushou shook his head gently, knowing what Li Xiaozu was thinking, he smiled and continued to move forward, saying as he walked; Xiaozu, you are the best of the younger generation, you have a broad vision, you have always been meticulous in your actions, you are the pillar of the future empire, how can you be a mere child. ”

"Wechen would rather be by the side of the saint and serve the saint for the rest of his life, in order to fulfill his filial piety, rather than be a pillar, this minister's wish is also."

"Idiot ......"

Li Fushou smiled with relief, didn't say anything more, and continued to move forward.

Time flies

Now in the 30th year, Tang Shaoyi has served as the prime minister of the cabinet for two terms, for 10 years.

After April

The new general election of the empire is about to begin, and Cai Tinggan has been nominated by the Zhi Gong Party to partner Li Xiaozu to run for the new prime minister, and the current domestic political situation has a great chance of winning.

The Zhi Gong Party is a political party established by Li Fushou, who once served as the original party leader and ran for the mayor of Queensland, and has since started an extraordinary political resume.

Today

The Zhi Gong Party has developed into the largest political party with extensive influence in the empire, with a conservative political stance, representing the interests of a wide range of nobles and big capitalists, and has important influence in the empire itself and the direct jurisdiction of the royal family such as Shangri-La and Luzon, and is also the largest political party in the Kyushu region of North America.

If nothing else

The duo of Cai Tinggan and Li Xiaozu is likely to win the election and serve two consecutive terms, becoming the main figures who will influence the situation of the empire in the next ten years.

Judging by age

Cai Tinggan, 69 years old, and Li Xiaozu, 46 years old, are typical of the old with the new, a combination of the old and the new, widely representing the political demands of the conservative forces in the empire, and leading the competition in the polls by a large margin.

Next month, the running partners of Cai Tinggan and Lee Hyo-jo will resign from their current positions and devote themselves to the upcoming domestic election.

In today's domestic political arena

A two-strong pattern has been formed, in which the Zhi Gong Party and the Democratic Liberal League take turns to come to power, supplemented by a number of local parties with less influence, forming the current political map.

The Zhi Gong Party has always regarded itself as the authentic heir of His Majesty the Emperor, and its position is conservative and tough, advocating the promotion of national prestige in foreign lands, implementing a colonial policy of active expansion, and promoting Greater Chinaism.

Therefore, it is supported by the mainstream aristocracy and big capitalists and the broad middle class, especially in North America and the southern states of the country, where the vast number of 100,000 small and medium-sized farmers and plantation owners are the iron vote of the party.

The League of Democracy, Justice and Freedom is a party that split from the Zhi Gong Party in 1896, referred to as the "Democratic Self-League", and its leader, Fan Zhongzhai, served as Prime Minister from 1901 to 1906.

The policy of the Democratic Liberal League is relatively liberal, democratic and open, neutral and left-wing, and the national policy emphasizes inclusiveness and inclusiveness, which is supported by the majority of people at the bottom and the working class and the predominantly white citizens of the empire.

The party's domestic policy attaches importance to economic development, cares about the suffering of the underclass, and emphasizes equal rights and the establishment of a fair, just, and free society under the rule of law, which is more in line with the tastes of the grassroots people.

The foreign policy attaches great importance to international cooperation, emphasizes the leading role of the ocean empire, and uses the Pacific National Security Alliance as a platform to extensively develop friendly and free trade relations with Pacific Rim countries, and has made considerable achievements in economic construction.

These two major parties make up almost the vast majority of the empire's political landscape, and they are the only ones capable of competing for the position of prime minister.

Others are mostly local, small parties or parties representing the interests of specific groups of people, such as the Textile Workers' Party, the Fairness Party (mainly white Germans), the Irish League (mainly Irish), the Chaoshan Party (mainly Chaoshan immigrants), the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Township Party (mainly Jiangsu-Zhejiang compatriots), etc., and their influence is limited to specific regions and minority groups.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two major parties, the Zhi Gong Party and the Democratic Liberal League, are actually brothers from the same family, and they are the two political agents launched by Emperor Li Fushou.

It's like a company that launches different flavors of beverages and uses two brands to meet the needs and political leanings of the vast majority of the population and dominate the political arena.

One is a die-hard royalist, the other is a tactful royalist, both of whom have vested interests and defenders of the existing political system in their bones.

It's not a brother, it's better than a brother.

However, these two major parties have also fought against each other for more than ten years in order to compete for the identity of His Majesty's authentic heir, and the war of words has been inextricably linked.

The Zhi Gong Party was founded by Emperor Li Fushou himself, and served as the leader of the largest party in the country, its political territory occupies 2/3 of the voters, the voter base is strong, the hardcore vote base is large, is all Chinese party.

The party's current leader, Cai Tinggan, once clamoured;

The Zhi Gong Party only represents the interests of Chinese citizens, and does not know about white people and other chaotic races, let alone speaks for mongrels.

Such remarks caused an uproar in society, and were strongly condemned by more than 17.9 million white-skinned citizens, causing many street demonstrations and even alarming the saints.

For this reason, the Holy Admiral summoned the leaders of the Zhi Gong Party and the Democratic Liberal League and 10 other parties to the palace to reprimand him, ordered him to reflect on his words and deeds, strictly prohibit radical political slogans that affect unity, and strictly prohibit ambiguous remarks.

Once discovered, it will not be spared.

Emperor Li Fushou publicly stated;

"The Ocean Empire is the common home of all citizens, and it needs to be carefully cared for and maintained by all in order to create a close-knit family atmosphere, to create a great power bearing that is inclusive of all rivers, and no one is allowed to destroy this atmosphere.

All political parties should take this as a warning and do not test the bottom line.

All politicians must be cautious in their words and deeds, and must not make similar remarks that undermine unity in the future.

The royal family of the Ocean Empire has been returned to the people, and major incidents that are not related to the danger of the country are handled by the government, and it is not appropriate for the royal family to intervene and disrupt the constitution."

After a burst of criticism, the wind and rain stopped, what should everyone do, find their own fathers, and go back to their own homes.

Cai Tinggan, the leader of the Zhi Gong Party, who participated in the election of the prime minister of the cabinet, received rave reviews among the Chinese ethnic community because of his outrageous remarks, and his political prestige reached an unprecedented peak for a time, and he received substantial benefits.

Because the Chinese ethnic group accounts for more than 9 percent of the total number of people in the empire, currying favor with the Chinese ethnic group, even if it offends all the others, it is blood gain.

Even at the risk of being scolded by His Majesty the Emperor, in order to win the upcoming election, Cai Ting did it anyway, and the result made him overjoyed.

Polls show;

Before making a big statement, his popular support rate has always hovered between 46%~49%, not more than half.

After these outrageous remarks, Cai Tinggan's public opinion support rate soared like a rocket, starting from 47.2%, breaking through the four marks of 55%, 60%, 65%, and 70%, and reaching a maximum of 74.3%, an astonishing surge.

Among Chinese voters, this support rate is as high as 88.72%, and among voters of other ethnic groups, the support rate has plummeted to less than 7.7%, which is a stark contrast.

Considering the overwhelming proportion of the Chinese population, this wave is still bloody, and it is only one step away from the premiership.
