Chapter 33 for the Repartition of the World 4
readx;? That's it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info to obtain the throne of the emperor of the Ostrogothic Empire, this matter seems to be the most relaxed, even logical. But in reality it is quite difficult. It is even said that the Bretons would rather occupy more territory in the Empire, give the Empire more commercial benefits, and even make some concessions in other aspects, and even that they are willing to marry a princess of the Breton royal family to come and marry.
This was when Wilhelm already had two queens as his main family - it was the royal family, not their Normandy family, who had lost face anyway - but even so, they did not want to loosen their grip on the Ostrogothic Emperor and give it to Wilhelm von Hereford, who was now the most deserving and rightful of course to become Emperor.
It is precisely for this reason that the Britons would not have won the crown of the Hereford family under any circumstances.
However.
Yes, however.
This time, however, they had no choice.
Rather than worrying about the problems that may occur in the future, it is better to think carefully about how to overcome this difficult situation in front of you. Otherwise, the kingdom of Briton would not be able to mix it up now.
If the whole old world is now annexed by the Visigothic Republic, then the Bretons don't need to think about the Russian Gothic Empire reviving the huge territory of the classical Gothic Empire, becoming the world's most powerful and unimaginably terrible country, swallowing everything up, and destroying their pathetic little kingdom by the way.
Of course, there is no shortage of far-sighted politicians in this world, nor is there a shortage of powerful rulers who have the courage to see through the future and even make decisions like a strong man breaking his wrist.
But that's the way it is. Such people are still in the minority. What's even more frustrating is that the current Breton lacks a key figure to make the final decision.
It didn't matter what the name of that person was, whether it was the Führer or the Emperor, whether it was the Consul or Diction. In short, they lack the kind of character who is a man of his word.
The system of parliamentary democracy has indeed brought a number of benefits to Britten. But at such a critical moment, in this huge war that is about to decide the course of the whole world. It is absolutely impossible to do without an iron-fisted powerful figure.
Just like in the Second World War, the leaders of the great powers were all domineering, to a certain extent, dictatorial figures. Even the United States, which claims to be the beacon of democracy, has a lame man who claims to be the most powerful of all American presidents. It is unimaginable that Churchill of Britain had more power. As for Stalin in the Soviet Union, he himself was a dictator that even Hitler was ashamed of.
In times of war, there is a need to concentrate power on powerful figures. This was known even to the city-state politicians of classical antiquity. It's like the dictator of the Roman Republic, or Dictida, as he was called. A strong, determined, determined, planned, powerful, and dominant ruler is one of the key factors in guaranteeing a fateful and crucial war.
If we talk about the same period, the same era, then it is Napoleon in William's previous life.
The essence of the Revolution, and the well-deserved leader of the French Revolution, finally became emperor.
Speaking of which, Yuan Shikai commented on the filming of the TV series that it is a great irony to be the emperor in the republic. I don't know if the guy who designed the lines of the script at that time thought about Napoleon.
However, it is a great pity that there is no such powerful figure in the Kingdom of Briton at the moment.
As I said before, the current system of parliamentary democracy is practiced in Britton. A two-tier parliamentary system consisting of the nobles of the House of Lords and the commoners of the House of Commons, mostly capitalists. and the parliament to check and balance the cabinet, and the parliament and the cabinet to check and balance the royal power.
This kind of checks and balances does ensure that there will not be a dictator who will do anything wrong, such as killing your whole family or something. But at the same time, it also led to political instability in Briton.
There are so many cakes of power, and whoever eats more will eat less. Guys who eat less will naturally be unhappy, unhappy, and unhappy. In this way, there is a conflict of interest.
Conflicts of interest naturally lead to struggles. The royal party thought that the king should have the final say. The aristocracy believed that the power of the nobility should be respected. The capitalists in the House of Commons think that the aristocratic king or something is bullshit, and that money should decide the direction of the world. Whoever has more money is the boss.
These people were divided into camps by class. Then, through interests, policies, and ideas, these camps were divided into continental and maritime factions, and for geographical reasons, because of marriages, and for other reasons, these people were divided into conservative and liberal parties. The bigwigs from the army are representatives of the military, and the military is divided into the army and the navy. Among the aristocracy, there are big nobles, local nobles and continental nobles. There are also local capitalists among the capitalists, and there are also overseas trade factions among the mainland capitalists......
It's all sorted, it's a mess and it's dazzling.
Whoever specializes in these things can spend decades and write millions of words, or even more and more, – but of course they will never be published.
Originally, before this, Briton was a relatively powerful figure.
Led by the Normandy family of the continental faction and the continental aristocracy, the "continental faction" composed of continental aristocrats, continental capitalists, the military and a large number of stakeholders at the same time, the "continental faction" was formed to control the power of the country stably.
Although it is said that they cannot be like William, they have the supreme prestige and can say anything in the territory of the Russian Gothic Empire. But through interest solicitation, intimidation, political conspiracy and some intrigues, as well as through their own strength, they can still basically do what they want to do, and they will definitely do this kind of thing.
This ensured that the big ship of Briton moved forward steadily, riding the wind and waves......
Now, however, the situation is different. A series of defeats on the mainland have reduced the strength of the mainland faction a lot. They have lost a lot of land, resources, people and money. In addition to this, there is great prestige.
As the leading figures of the continentalists, the Normandy family lost even their traditional fiefdom, Normandy.
In this case, they can only dream of being able to achieve a successful stable situation in Briton and become rulers or something.
"Ahh Come to think of it, those guys weren't easy. William thought to himself. At the same time, a little hesitant.
Yes, in such a situation, the mainlandists, the continental wing of the Briton parliament are almost in a state of disintegration. Not to mention mastering the situation, the opponents in parliament even dared to openly shout slogans, demanding that the Duke of Normandy be guillotined or something.
Naturally, their stakeholders began to waver -- after all, the interests of the mainland are gone, so the stakeholders can't be called stakeholders, can they?
At the same time that the Normandy family lost power, the royal power of Breton also began to jump.
These guys had been suppressed by the Normandy family before, and they could barely make a sound. But now, the evil Normandy family is in a state of collapse, so many royal parties. Even Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth thinks it's time for them to take action, clean up the rivers and mountains, and set things right.
During this time, William was concerned about the negotiations with the Britons, while gathering information about the Normandy family and the political changes in the Kingdom of Briton.
William felt that he had made a slight mistake before - that is, to take the opinion of the House of Normandy as the opinion of the Bretons even though they had already suffered such a crushing defeat.
This may have been true before, but now it is different. The current Normandy family is the Normandy family, and the Briton kingdom is the Briton Kingdom. The kingdom's politics are turbulent.
Although the mainland faction has lost its troops, it still has a foundation there. Even though the Normandy family has stripped many halos, it is still an important political faction in the kingdom.
At the same time, however, the parliamentary maritime faction stirred up trouble.
As a long-standing opposition party, the parliamentary ocean wing also has a full background. With the decline of the Continental faction to such an extent, the Ocean faction thought that it could rise, or at least, compete with the continental faction.
The same rise is the royal party. The royal family of Breton still has strong power and influence. What's more, the Briton royal family has the highest standing - at least in this day and age, shouting about the king, or long live the queen or something, is still a form of political correctness.
The political situation in Briton is currently showing such a three-legged situation.
In terms of absolute strength, the mainland faction still has the upper hand. However, the royal party and the maritime faction seem to have a tendency to converge.
In addition to the two largest factions in Parliament, there are many smaller factions, and small parties are constantly contending, desperately trying to make their voices heard, express their political opinions, and so on. Although these guys are a scumbag in terms of strength individually. But if there are too many of them, it's one thing to be good at all. Of course, ignoring them here for the time being is not a big deal.
That's it, William suddenly figured out one thing after understanding this matter-
Perhaps, I could have been a little more "excessive". Perhaps he could have asked the Bretons for more.
Because, perhaps, the Bretons only "compared" their need for themselves. But Victoria, the House of Normandy, and the Continental faction of Parliament needed themselves "very".
After thinking about it, William couldn't help but smile. Perhaps, things are a little better than you think. Perhaps, the ideal of unifying the whole world or something can be realized faster than you imagined.
