"Let's get down to business, guys. On the Labour side, Labour is not stupid, and the reason why they have been pandering to your plans now is because it is in their favor. Seeing that they were all thinking in silence, Valerian pulled the topic back, "President Black's plan, even if it is to be carried out, will not happen anytime soon. What we need to focus on is the issue of the Labour Party. ”

"Your plan is good, but you have overlooked a serious problem. You are hoping that Labour's response will go beyond everybody's bottom line and force everyone in the republic to take sides against Labour, but Labour has another option – in fact, as you are doing now, one step back and two steps forward. ”

"Take a step back...... Will they be able to get back? ”

"They can't, but they can pretend they're going to quit, you know?" Valerian explained, "Let me say this, don't you think the current plan is going too well? Think about it, the first resolution of the special committee, with the Labour Party in the upper hand, was a death sentence that was almost unanimously passed, as well as the instigation of the Labour Party newspaper and the debate of the Labour MPs...... The plan went so perfectly that the Labour Party was like—"

"—it's like walking into a pit according to a pit." Yang Han then said what the little prince wanted to say, and he said thoughtfully, "It is indeed this problem, and the Labor Party is too cooperative. But what you said was one step back, two steps forward......"

"Let's assume so, assuming we don't have this conversation, I'm still on the council, and everything goes according to your plan. Then soon, the special commission will receive sufficient powers. It stands to reason that this would be followed by the uncontrollable purge that you expected, but Labour will not do that, and they will directly propose a more radical bill, one that will directly break the bottom line of you, mind you, not everyone. I'm not a member of the Labour Party, so I can only speculate that it might be to take over the government, or it could be just for the Labour Party to grab more parliamentary power, and so on. And, if the Labour committee is really ruthless enough, they can even create events of their own to stir up popular sentiment. ”

"You are not the only ones who can stir up the people. Then you will be forced to make a choice, or you will agree with them, but in that case, believe me, the situation will be completely out of control, and you will know how big the Labour Party will be without thinking; Either you will refuse, but that will be exactly what Labour wants. Labour will be going to make a big deal about the defeat, so guess what Labour voters will think? What will the already wavering populace think? ”

"That's what it means to take one step back and take two steps forward. They are sure that you will not agree to such a proposal, and thus create a suitable environment for public opinion to use the conditions you have created for them to attack you. You only have two choices, either you are forced to agree under the pressure of public opinion, or you will go back to the time when you agreed at the beginning, but if you agree at this time, it will only make the people turn more towards the Labour Party; Either you have to be tough to the end, and then the time will come for a second civil war, but this one will not be as easy as you think, because Labour has not yet started the purge you expected, and his voters are still in the majority, and it is even possible that the civil war was not started by them, but by the pressure that you started first. ”

"I understand you have the military to deal with Labour, but the question is, what are you going to do with those Labour voters?" Valerian threw the question at him, "You're trying to prop up a minority regime, and the majority is a group of far-left radicals, which is bound to lead to extreme turmoil in the nascent republic even if the civil war is won." What's more, I don't believe you didn't see it, Yang Yi. ”

This time, Valerian directly called Yang Yi's full name, and his voice gradually became serious: "That peasant alliance, do you really plan to play with fire?" ”

"Of course." When Yang Yi heard this, he suddenly smiled, "What? Doesn't His Royal Highness the Prince even have the courage to do so? ”

"Courage and arrogance are two different things, Captain Yang." Valerian stared at Yang Yi's eyes tightly, "If the civil war really starts, it will only make them reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Of course I understand, Your Highness Valenrian." Yang Yi took a sip of the half-cooled coffee on the table, and said while frowning, "But we have to release enough bait to get the big fish to take the bait, right?" ”

"But you're not going to catch a fish, you're going to catch a Leviathan." Valerian shook his head and expressed concern about his plan, "And I don't understand, what do you need them for?" I don't see the benefits of working with them yet. ”

"May I interrupt, what are you talking about?" Lin Wujun interrupted the conversation between the two, and neither he nor Yang Han could understand what Yang Yi was saying.

"We were talking about the Yumayan Peasant Union, the party that suddenly came to the door to cooperate." Yang Yi replied, "We believe that the party should be supported by the UED behind the scenes. Because our Speaker Black had been a member of a party called the 'Batanian Peasants' Union' when he was still in Badania, and the other party suddenly came to the door without warning...... I know it's ridiculous, but because the other party is too abrupt, I have to guess in that direction. ”

“UED？！ Do you know it's them? Why ......"

"Because I want to take this opportunity to dig something out." Yang Yi's expression became a little cloudy, "UED is too cautious, and it is too well hidden. Not to mention rounding them up, I don't even know the name of one of their members right now, but I've found a lot of messy organization names. I'm tired of this cat-and-mouse game, and I'm going to try something a little bolder. ”

"It just so happens that everyone is here, Sakiya, tell me what you've dug up lately." Yang Yi waved his hand, and Sakiya, who was standing behind him, immediately stepped forward and stood in the middle of the side.

"Yes. Most of the information collected so far is rumored in the market and is not of reference value. The Yumayan Peasants' Union was founded about three months ago in a tavern in the capital of the republic by a group of peasants who had failed to appeal to the government, but the organization soon spread throughout the country and quickly became the main political party of the peasants of the republic in just a week, giving the peasants a voice to the government. Although there have been many cases of disputes with other parties due to misorganized management because of the fact that they had just been established, on the whole the party has not yet expressed any ideological stance, and has only demanded that the government establish a regular and neutral grain management body, rationally regulate grain prices according to market demand, and establish a "peasant guard" similar to the form of the Republican Guard or SS to protect the peasants' farms and grain transportation, and to stop all wanton encroachment on grain and other peasant property, and so on. ”

"It doesn't sound very left, isn't this a left-wing republic?" Christina was a little curious.

"The only reason the government allowed them to exist was that the government had to put the initiative on hold for the time being when the government tried to disband the ban party, and as a result the peasants everywhere threatened to strike. However, as the government was mainly controlled by three left-wing parties, the Peasants' Union was never able to convince the government and parliament to establish a rational food distribution system, and finally about a month ago the Peasants' Union's internal committee passed a resolution to establish its own SS. But because the vast majority of the members of the Peasants' Union were farmers, although they could come to help the Union at meetings or votes, they could not train daily as members of the Guard and serve the League, because they still had their own farms to take care of. So the League had no choice but to hire a group of mercenaries and some Yumayan natives who were willing to work for the peasant union to form their own SS, and soon distributed these SS units to various places to protect the peasants. ”

"The peasants are too weak to force the government to allow them to form their own party through the famine that a strike might trigger, but they are not strong enough to threaten the government into passing the bills they need, because there are far more workers in the cities than they are, and therefore they cannot launch a large-scale rebellion." Yang Han added, "It is precisely because of this that the Farmers' Alliance will find us and join our program." ”

"But the only problem at the moment is the group of mercenaries recruited by the peasant union. There were too many of them, and they were scattered all over the republic. In the event of an incident, they could almost directly control more than half of the rural and small towns in the republic - if they were indeed people sent by the UED, as we guessed. ”
