In the Emerald Palace, Hudson, who arrived in the royal capital with the investigation team, received the news that the Avalat Kingdom delegation was coming before he had time to make a summary report on the issue of the "Ten Thousand Years Tribulation".

Reform has never been a new term.

Far from mentioning, in recent years alone, many countries have carried out internal reforms, some of which have been successful, but many more have failed.

For example, the fallen kingdom of Warhammer is the best negative teaching material.

Because the political reforms induced by the internal power struggle led directly to the division of the country, and then perished in the alien invasion.

A group of small countries in the northern continent are also represented, but the reason for their failure is not because of reform, but because of their own small size and too short time for reform.

I just decided to learn from the Alpha Kingdom and carry out military system reform, but it ended in the continental war only halfway through the operation.

If they had reformed 10 or 8 years earlier, the current situation on the mainland would have changed dramatically. Maybe they still can't stop the alliance of the elves and the ancient relics, and at least they can hold on for a little longer.

Unfortunately, there is no what if, and only the Duchy of Moxi succeeded in the hastily launched reforms in the midst of the crisis.

However, the situation of the Duchy of Moxi is special, and they were able to complete the internal reform, and it was the orcs who helped a lot.

The original political and military systems were crippled by the orc invasion.

During the war, the army was handed over to Hudson and was heavily influenced by the Alpha Kingdom.

The subsequent reforms, which were entirely military reforms, led to political changes.

In fact, in terms of political system, the Alpha Kingdom is not very advanced, but because of external oppression, it passively improves administrative efficiency.

At the core, it is still the same as that of all countries, and it is all a playful sub-sealing system. The difference is limited to stricter regulations on military mobilization.

The rest of the political structure and local governance model are almost the same as those of the mainland countries.

The difference was not very large, and the vested interests suffered heavy blows before the Principality of Moxi was able to complete its internal reforms.

Behind this is George's crazy accumulation of money, relying on strong financial resources to pave the way for reform.

Similar operations cannot be replicated by other countries.

Even if the domestic aristocracy is willing to support the reform, what can be done to compensate for the damage to everyone's interests?

The Principality of Moxi relied on inheriting the legacy of the Warhammer Kingdom, and the royal government threw a lot of money into it, to quell the opposition.

At present, the reform of the three countries of the Central and Continental Continents is not going smoothly. There are also many difficulties in advancing military reform.

This is not a question of whether the nobles support it or not, but it involves vital interests, and no one wants to suffer for themselves.

There was no pomp and circumstance between reformers and conservatives, all because there was an interracial alliance around them.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Avalat is too good at making excuses, right?"

Hudson said helplessly.

With one more lofty reason, the nature is completely different.

At the very least, if the Kingdom of Awarat wants to investigate, all countries must cooperate. The specific cooperation depends on the situation, but on the bright side, the relevant work must be done beautifully.

"The 10,000-year catastrophe is about to break out", or the Alpha Kingdom spread it. When it comes to this kind of human security, there is much more to be done.

This is the power of righteousness!

"Marshal, perhaps the Kingdom of Awarat is just the beginning, and more countries will join in the future.

It doesn't matter whether they can push forward with reform, and it doesn't matter to them whether the news is true or not.

As long as the banner of righteousness is raised, those evil neighbors who are watching them must now rein in their minions.

If it is done out of line, the criticism within the human race can make a big force in a hurry.

Of course, the Kingdom of Avalat should really want to reform. Ayrton VIII traveled the continent during the time of the crown prince, and I met him.

This person became famous at a young age, and he did several major things during the time of the crown prince, and he had a very high reputation in the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of Avalat.

This reform has also been brewing for a long time within the Kingdom of Avalat, and most of the nobles support it.

I don't know if it will succeed in the end, but it will definitely set off a lot of fluctuations anyway.

If they are lucky enough to succeed, the situation in the southern continent will also be affected, which is also a good thing for the kingdom.

As for the political investigation, I will work hard for you to fully cooperate, and it will be regarded as paying off the old debt.

In the past few hundred years, the kingdom has repeatedly encountered orc crises, and all the countries on the continent have contributed! ”

Caesar IV spoke soothingly.

It's not that Hudson is a child, it's mainly that the Kingdom of Awarat came to investigate this time and directly asked to be able to communicate with him.

Nominally, it was an exchange that actually meant that he was asked to do the reception.

The reason is very realistic, the continent of Aslant is dominated by a military system, supplemented by a political system.

The core of reform in various countries is often more military than political. Generally speaking, as long as the military strength is strong enough, it is a sign of a strong country.

In this regard, the Alpha Kingdom is one of the best, and the continent is famous for its reckless military force.

As the founder of the new military system of the Alpha Kingdom, Hudson is undoubtedly a sweetheart.

If it weren't for the fact that his foundation in the Alpha Kingdom was too big, everyone really couldn't make a price, and anyone who came to dig the foot of the wall would be able to fill the palace.

If you can't dig people, it's good to have a conversation.

The "celebrity effect" is applicable everywhere.

Especially when it comes to such major reforms, what can you do to persuade the opposition after you don't get a few big people to endorse them?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the reform of the Kingdom of Avalat will not go well.

In addition to our willing support, it is estimated that the Holy See hopes that they can be reborn from the ashes and muddy the waters of the Southern Continent.

The Kingdom of Ibya, which has long been eyeing them, will definitely jump out and make trouble. If you don't do this reform, it may accelerate their fall! ”

The Prime Minister, the Archduke of Newfoundland, said worriedly.

If the reforms of the Kingdom of Awarat backfired, then the wave of annexation in the southern continent would further intensify.

This pattern of the strong and the strong is not what the Alpha Kingdom wants to see.

The Terran countries annexed each other, and the increase in strength was immediate, but it was not as hard as the Alpha Kingdom.

Even if the Near East strategy is advancing smoothly, it will take a lot of time for the kingdom to grow in terms of comprehensive national strength.

"Prime Minister, in fact, there is nothing wrong with reform. The fall of the Kingdom of Avalat to the point it is today is due to internal conservatism.

If we don't carry out comprehensive reforms, we will be waiting to die. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to give it a go while you still have chips in your hand.

There is no need for thorough reform, as long as the administrative efficiency and military system are reformed, they will be able to protect themselves in troubled times! ”

Marquis Delgado immediately retorted.

The success or failure of the reform of the Kingdom of Avalat has little to do with him, but as the kingdom's Minister of Finance, the Marquis of Delgado passively became a reformer.

Everything is forced by money. In order to reverse the fiscal predicament, it is imperative to carry out fiscal and tax revenue reform.

It's just that this is very difficult, the Alpha Kingdom is playing a tax system, and every move is bound to touch the interests of a number of nobles, which is not something that he can promote as a finance minister at all.

If you can't do it yourself, you have to build momentum. It doesn't matter which country wants to reform, he is now supportive.

As long as the spring breeze of reform blows, the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably be affected.

Other countries are drastic and comprehensive reforms, and he just wants to reform the fiscal and tax collection model, which is not worth mentioning at all.

In this regard, Caesar IV was his greatest supporter.

It's a pity that apart from the king, there are few ministers in the court who support it.

It's not that people don't know that direct taxation can greatly increase the government's fiscal revenue and increase the central government's control over the local governments.

The problem is that this knife is cut on oneself!

The important ministers of the court were also great nobles, and all of them were beneficiaries of the tax package system. Once the tax reform is carried out, the family behind everyone will be slaughtered.

This kind of unforgettable pain is not something that ordinary people can bear. If it was at a critical moment for the kingdom, for the sake of the overall situation, maybe everyone would grit their teeth and agree.

The current Alpha Kingdom is obviously not at that level, except for the relatively poor government, the kingdom is booming.

Even the old enemy orcs are trampled under their feet at this moment. It can be said that the current Alpha Kingdom is at its most glorious time since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

It is not that there is a lack of motivation for reform, but that there is no motivation for reform at all.

It is useless to know it with reason, and it is useless to move it with emotion.

It's just that the government is a little poorer, and everyone doesn't take it seriously.

On the issue of fiscal reform in the kingdom, Hudson chose neutrality.

If everyone agrees, he can also give up the part of the benefits of the tax package, anyway, the Snow Moon Territory is currently in a tax-free state, and most of the regional kingdoms in the Mountain Territory are not on the map.

All sides are adamant against it, and Hudson will not choose to be a retrograde.

The thinking of the aristocracy, the first choice is to preserve themselves, not to put themselves in opposition to interest groups for the sake of the interests of the kingdom.

Of course, he didn't do nothing. At least when the Chancellor of the Exchequer was in trouble, he still stood up and spoke fairly.

This kind of implicit support also plays a big role.

In addition, the reform of the Marquis delgado was indeed out of public interest, and it was only a political idea, and it was not implemented, and it did not reach the point of dying.

This kept the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Otherwise, with the support of the king alone, the Marquis del Delgado would have been driven home long ago.

After all, Caesar IV was not a powerful monarch. Almost every time the ministers agreed on the same opinion, he made a concession.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to dwell on this issue. The affairs of the kingdom of Avalat are decided by the Avalati themselves.

Even if we tried to interfere, we couldn't do it.

Instead of doing a thankless job, it is better to choose to watch and wait for the situation to develop! ”

Hudson said with a smile.

In order to maintain the stability of the court, he also tried his best.

He also felt very powerless about the political sensibilities of the Marquis delgado. I can't say that there is no at all, but there are not many sincere ones.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a good hand in financial management, he could have fooled the kingdom's financial black hole, and it is estimated that he would have been ousted from power a long time ago.

Undoubtedly, this is not what Hudson wants to see. Once the Chancellor of the Exchequer is gone, the gap in the court is opened.

As the king, Caesar IV could not always let this group of old guys in front of him be active in front of him. Once you seize the opportunity, you will definitely install your own people.

The old and new factions will go directly to the court, and party struggle will become the main theme in the future.

This is an absolute disaster for the thriving Alpha Kingdom.

Deep down, Hudson also knew very well that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later.

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier!"

No matter how much Caesar IV could endure, there was a limit. As a monarch, how can he tolerate the abduction of power for a long time?

Perhaps all the ministers in the court performed well and were not badly loyal, but these were secondary factors in the face of power.

The gap between "auxiliary ministers" and "powerful ministers" is often at the moment when the monarch grows up.

However, the ministers also had no choice and climbed to their current position, and they did not just live for themselves.

The interest groups behind them will not allow them to back down, even in the face of the king.

Hudson insisted on not entering the court because he did not want to be swayed by interest groups. Even if he is far away from the frontier, there is still a large group of people around him, pushing him behind his back to "move forward".

Vaguely, Hudson was somewhat suspicious that Caesar IV supported the reformers, not to promote reform, but to make a hole in the court.

The end of one topic often marks the beginning of another.

It's a pity that Hudson guessed wrong this time, everyone's curiosity about the 10,000-year catastrophe was not as heavy as he expected.

Maybe it's because they feel too far away from life, and everyone's attention is very limited.

After briefly describing the basic situation, the reply I got was: I see!

And then there was no then. On this issue, all politicians have shown great flexibility.

The countries of the continent stared at the reaction of the Alpha Kingdom, and the high-level of the kingdom chose to stare at the reaction of the elven race.

One ring after another, all of them are smart people.

It's okay if you don't know, you know that the "10,000-year catastrophe" exists, so naturally you can't sit still.

If you don't have experience in coping, then follow what you have. Even if the judgment is wrong, it is the bad luck of everyone.

Leaving the palace, Hudson's mind was buzzing.

Today's events have taught him a lesson. The political wisdom of the indigenous people should not be underestimated.

Especially when it comes to experience, the performance is even better.

If you don't know the situation, then don't dig deeper, just follow the experienced one and copy the homework.

It doesn't matter how the aliens block the news, just follow them behind their backs. Anyway, large-scale preparations for war can't be hidden at all.

……

The Alpha Kingdom was beyond the reach of the whip and chose to watch from the sidelines, but the situation on the mainland was still detonated.

The country that is also in the stage of decline and needs to rely on reform to survive is not only the Kingdom of Avarat.

In the past, no one moved, because there were too many concerns about the failure of the reforms to make the situation worse.

Some of these countries have even been reformed once, but in the end they have failed.

Now stimulated by this, people of insight from all over the world have taken action again.

Reform may not be able to reverse the fortunes of the country, but without reform it will be doomed.

Although the nobles may not be finished with a change of dynasty, the original interests are likely to shrink.

The older generation seeks stability, but the younger generation has long been unable to bear it and has been shouting for reform.

For a time, the whole continent was filled with the voice of reform, including several human powers, and there were also people clamoring for reform of domestic injustice.

Kingdom of Iblibya.

The neighbors, whom they regarded as a meal on the plate, suddenly wanted to reform and sent an inspection delegation with great fanfare, and Bordeaux VIII naturally had to pay close attention.

"What's going on?

The new monarch has just succeeded to the throne, how dare the Kingdom of Awarat reform at such a time? ”

Bordeaux VIII asked with concern.

"Reform" is not a trivial matter in any country.

Under normal circumstances, there is a change of power, and the first thing the new monarch needs to do is to consolidate power, not the so-called reform.

If the reform fails, it will be a political accident for the new monarch whose power has not yet been secured.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Avalat has actually run out of options. It's not that Xinjun has chosen reform, it's that their internal problems can't be suppressed.

At this moment, there is still a glimmer of life in reform, and if it continues to drag on, when all parties form a balance again, there is no room for reform in the future. ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Midofort, explained.

Political reforms are similar in all countries, often "forced to do so", and the Kingdom of Avalat is no exception.

The young Zhuang faction who supported Xinjun was eager to change the status quo, and they had long been impatient. As a king, you can't just go your own way.

simply took the reform as an opportunity to directly carry out a major blood change for the court.

After all, Xinjun is also in his forties, and his team has long been stable.

"Hmmm!

Looking at it this way, it makes sense.

Elton VIII and Duke Grenavan are not idle people, and the two of them may be able to toss some results together.

His hero, my enemy.

Although we and the Kingdom of Awarat cannot be called life and death, the contradictions between the two sides have long been buried. For the sake of the kingdom's strategy, it is better for the kingdom of Avalat not to be revived! ”

Bordeaux VIII said murderously.

Geopolitics is often the most unsolvable problem. The strategic conflict dictates that the Kingdom of Ibyabi must prevent the rise of its neighbors.

"Your Majesty, the eyes of all parties are on the Kingdom of Awarat right now, and we should not act rashly for the time being.

If something goes wrong and it is brought to the Terran Alliance Council for discussion, it will be very detrimental to our international image.

What's more, this kind of political reform, with too much external involvement, may also lead to rebellion, which in turn promotes the internal unity of the Kingdom of Avalat.

We might as well wait and see how they are reforming, find a suitable entry point, and then give them a fatal blow.

Maybe we don't have to do anything, they themselves have led themselves to the point of no return in the process of reform! ”

Prime Minister Marquis Olmos said with a sneer.
