Chapter 461: Unification! disarmament
Roin wanted the United Kingdom of Stokato to annex other countries around it, but he didn't want too many casualties.
After all, he was a businessman, and it was better to annex peacefully if it was not necessary.
So Roin came up with a vote to let the nationals of these countries choose for themselves whether they would like their countries to be incorporated into the United Kingdom of Stokato.
If, before the start of the sanctions, even if the United Kingdom of Stokato was strong, economically developed, and well-welfare. There are certainly people who are willing to incorporate their country into the United Kingdom of Stokato, but definitely not the majority.
But now, they are all under sanctions, and they can't live anymore, and at this time, when such a vote is made, fools know how to vote.
The overwhelming majority agreed to annex to the United Kingdom of Stokato.
Of course, it's just that it's useless for them to agree, after all, these countries are not up to them, the civilians. It is impossible to say that a vote sells the country.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if it is a vote, it will be the government of their country that will hold the vote, not the Tulip Group, an outsider. Therefore, this vote does not have any legal effect.
But for Luo Yin, that was enough.
Both economic and military sanctions have been launched, and now it's time to start with the political aspect.
This vote, while not legally able to annex these countries to the United Kingdom of Stokato, could undermine the confidence of the other government and the population. Give them the feeling that "the people have rebelled and there is nothing they can do".
Although according to the current situation, they are slowly powerless, but Luo Yin doesn't want to ink, and wants to solve it quickly. After all, only by integrating all the surrounding countries can he make better money.
The truth is similar to what Luo Yin thought, when the results of this vote were announced, there was a very sad atmosphere in these countries.
Anyway, you can't fight, so it's better to join others directly.
Although, they also understand that the United Kingdom of Stokato says that they can enjoy the same national welfare benefits. In fact, it is definitely different, and if they join, the benefits will definitely not be as good as those of the aborigines.
But there was no way out, and they had no chance of anything other than joining the United Kingdom of Stokato.
However, in this very sad atmosphere, their national government has been slow to take a stand.
Seeing that food and daily necessities are getting scarce, the unemployment rate is getting higher and higher, and the stock price is soaring to take off, the people can no longer live, and the country does not express its position and cannot come up with a solution...... Their citizens were reluctant, and there were more demonstrations of all kinds.
These marchers are not directly pressuring the government to agree to join the United Kingdom of Stokato, but they are asking the government to come up with a solution.
There is only one solution at the moment, which is to join the United Kingdom of Stokato, but it is certainly not good to be outright, so it is better to be tactful.
The governments of these countries are also anxious, and for ordinary citizens, it doesn't really matter which country they become nationals, as long as they can be fed. But for these governments, the impact is huge.
Government executives are certainly reluctant to join, and it is certainly better to be able to be powerful on one side than to be someone else's horseboy.
Although they have not yet found a solution, they can delay it for a while. As for these marches, just let the police and the army temporarily expel them.
As a result, less than half a day after the order was issued, the police and the army also joined the march.
When those leaders saw the news, their eyes went black. They know it's over! Their reign is over.
……
At midnight on September 15, 1028, members of the Rebel League launched a terrorist attack in the capital of the United Kingdom of Stokato, leaving five buildings in ruins, slightly damaged the royal palace, and more than 3,000 dead and wounded.
At 1 a.m. on September 15, 1028, the United Kingdom of Stokato declared war on the grounds that the Kingdom of Sote had been involved in a terrorist attack. and imposed economic sanctions on 13 other countries.
On the morning of September 18, 1028, the government of the Kingdom of Sauter announced its unconditional surrender, and the Kingdom of Sauter was annexed to the United Kingdom of Stokato.
On September 28, 1028, the army seized power in a mutiny between Bigge and Wacker, and later surrendered to the United Kingdom of Stokato on behalf of Bigg and Wacker.
On October 10, 1028, the state of Sully called a referendum on whether to join the United Kingdom of Stokato, with 97 percent of the votes cast in favor.
On October 11, 1028, the kingdoms of Bran, Chuansi, and Dan called a referendum on whether to incorporate into the United Kingdom of Stokato, with 93%, 96%, and 99% of votes in favor, respectively.
1028 ......
On October 14, 1028, the Kingdom of Nareh called a referendum on whether to join the United Kingdom of Stokato, with 100% of the votes cast in favor.
Of the 14 other countries in the land of Stokato, one was defeated head-on by the United Kingdom of Stokato and incorporated into it; 2 countries mutinied and voluntarily surrendered to the United Kingdom of Stokato; Twelve countries held a referendum and agreed to dissolve the current Government and join the United Kingdom of Stokato.
This brings all 14 countries to the United Kingdom of Stokato.
In just one month, the United Kingdom of Stokato, with the help of the Tulip Group, unified the land.
……
October 15, 1028.
The official residence of the Prime Minister, Royal Capital, United Kingdom of Stokato.
Mavis personally pasted the new map on the wall of her office.
"It's beautiful!"
Looking at this new map, Mayvis's expression was a little dazed.
She still can't believe that in just one month, she has unified all the countries on Stokato......
"It's beautiful."
Luo Yin looked at the oval map and said with a smile.
With the acquisition of the other 14 countries, the United Kingdom of Stokato has increased its land area by a factor of 20 to 2 million square kilometres. If you add the sea area, it is a total of 4 million square kilometers.
In terms of size alone, the United Kingdom of Stokato is no worse than some of the larger countries.
This is equivalent to one-fifth of the land area of the Sky Wolf Empire, which is not small.
After all, the Land Area of the Heavenly Wolf Empire ranked second in the entire Holy Dome Continent, with a full 10 million square kilometers. The largest country area is the Frost Empire, which is 13 million square kilometers.
Then there is the population, which now reaches sixty million in the entire United Kingdom of Stokato. This is not a small number of people, more than in many medium-sized countries.
However, the division of power in a country is not only based on area and population, it is a comprehensive data consideration.
The current situation in the United Kingdom of Israel is clearly not within reach of large countries. It's barely a medium-sized country.
The reason why I say reluctantly is because the other countries that have just been incorporated are dragging their feet, after all, everyone is now one.
If those countries can have the strength of the original United Kingdom of Stokato, then let alone medium-sized countries, even large countries may be able to fight for it.
Of course, if they had that strength, the United Kingdom of Stokato would not have been able to annex them anytime soon.
"Although we have annexed them, this is only the beginning, and there are many troubles to follow, so you need to be more careful."
Luo Yin hugged Mayvis's slender waist and said.
"I understand."
Mayvis nodded.
Although she promised other countries the same benefits to the new nationals as the former nationals, perhaps some business rules or something.
But it's certainly not that simple.
After all, you have to think about the feelings of the original people.
For example - it is clear that our country has won the war, why are those prisoners treated with us the same way?
She can buy or appease other new citizens, but she can't chill the hearts of the original citizens.
Therefore, we must carefully consider what kind of welfare benefits should be given to those new citizens.
Luo Yin gave her a direction - according to the time. For example, every once in a while, improve their treatment. After a certain period of time, you will be entitled to full benefits. At this time, everyone is also familiar with each other, the relationship is good, and there is no hostility.
Of course, this benefit cannot be placed on the surface, but secretly. On the surface, they must be treated equally, after all, this is what Mayvis promised.
And then there are things like the appointment of officials, the stationing of troops, the reorganization of companies, etc.
All the governments of those countries were dissolved, and many officials were imprisoned. But it also left some officials to maintain order and deal with things. These officials are all people who have been bought by the Tulip Group before and some people who are really capable.
These people are now substitute shifts, and they will be transferred to other positions. What position to give them is also a matter that needs to be studied......
After the surrender of these countries, their armies were naturally all absorbed. Together, these soldiers numbered three million. These people also have to be properly accommodated......
But to be honest, Luo Yin felt that the number of soldiers was a bit too much.
After all, the whole country has only 60 million people, and these 3 million soldiers, plus the original 500,000 soldiers of the United Kingdom of Stocato, are 3.5 million. It accounts for 5.8% of the total population, and on average, there is one soldier for every 17 people!
This ratio is somewhat exaggerated. After all, the 600 million people of the Heavenly Wolf Empire are only 5 million soldiers.
It's not that it's bad to have more soldiers, but it's that if there are more soldiers, the defense spending will be too great. After all, soldiers don't produce, they can't make profits, and they have to spend a lot of money to support them. Over the years, this is a lot of money.
The reason why there are so many soldiers is because these 15 countries competed with each other before, and they all defended each other, so naturally they needed a lot of soldiers to deter.
But now that they are all unified, everyone is a family, and there is no need to guard against their own people.
The United Kingdom of Stokato is now surrounded by natural barriers such as mountains, deserts and rivers, and does not require much military force to defend it.
Plus it's not a time of war...... Therefore, Luo Yin felt that there was no need for so many soldiers, and he had to be disarmed.
"Do you want to be disarmed...... So how much do you say is appropriate? ”
Mayvis asked.
Luo Yin thought for a moment and said a number.
"Just cut 2.5 million and leave 1 million soldiers."
"Huh? Wouldn't it be ...... to lay so much"
Mayvis frowned a little confused.
In fact, she personally hopes for disarmament, after all, it is a waste for the government to raise so many soldiers.
But if 2.5 million people are laid off at once, then she will be under a lot of pressure! After all, if you lay off someone, you have to find someone a job. Giving jobs to more than two million people at once, Mayvis really didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, work is actually very simple."
Luo Yin said suddenly.
"How?"
Mayvis was a little curious.
Luo Yin analyzed:
"It's very simple, of the 2.5 million people who have been laid off, 100,000 of them will go to work in the police - the country has increased so much, internal security must be the top priority, and there must be no sloppiness!"
"500,000 people to work as construction workers - the task after reunification is to build infrastructure, we need a lot of construction workers!"
"200,000 people enter the military manufacturing industry, and they can go to Qiongbi military industry to work - the Mandala military industry takes high-end manufacturing, mainly dwarf workers, and I will move some factories to the Toga Kingdom in the future. Some low-end munitions manufacturing tasks were handed over to Qiongbi Military Industry, which was very short of people. ”
"As for the remaining 1.7 million people...... Give it all to me. ”
Listening to Luo Yin's previous words, Mavis kept nodding, and Luo Yin said it really well. But the last sentence surprised Mayvis a little.
"You want so many people? Can you afford it? ”
It's not that Mayvis doubts Luo Yin's ability, it's really that there are too many people, 1.7 million people!
"It's not a big problem. When we go back to infrastructure construction, if we want to speed up, hundreds of thousands of workers may not be enough. I have these people to participate in the construction, and when I don't need them, I will let them work for the Rose Colony Company. ”
Luo Yin explained with a smile. These people can go to the Rose Colonization Company, or they can go to the Pothos Private Military Company. can be used.
Luo Yin thought about it, it was still appropriate for the Rose Company.
After all, the registered place and headquarters of the Pothos Company are in the Sky Wolf Empire, so if the Sky Wolf Empire knows that the Green Pothos Company has nearly two million more armed employees at once, Luo Yin is afraid that he will be invited to drink tea every day...... The Rose Colony Company doesn't have that kind of trouble.
"Rose Colonization Company ......"
Mayvis's eyes lit up.
She almost forgot that Luo Yin also had a colonial company!
This colonial company has been operating in South Simon, and Mavis subconsciously ignores it.
Nansmon has a lot of profits there, and it also needs security to protect it, and these soldiers joining the Rose Company are equivalent to going back to their old jobs. Simple training is all it takes.
Although they are all soldiers, in Luo Yin's company, they can bring profits to Luo Yin! Sustainable development is the only way to last. If the state raises them, it will not bring profits.
And more importantly, after these soldiers became Luo Yin's employees, they were still their own people. In the future, if there is a war and a large number of troops are needed, Luo Yin can just let them participate in the war. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a hole card!
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Mayvis suddenly said again, "By the way, do you want the name of the country?" Changing the name may make those new citizens feel less 'forced' and more 'merge'......"
