Chapter 518: The Rebirth of the Republican Regime

Just as the Asura had anticipated at the beginning, the so-called one-person-one-vote electoral system began to be practiced in a lot of chaos.

For example, because he is alone, relying on shadow clones to maintain order is ultimately inadequate, and the citizens of the new 'Republic of Goa' have burst out with extraordinary enthusiasm for the election, so the registration statistics alone have made the Asura anxious.

As a last resort, the Asura had no choice but to recruit literate and hyphenated people among the people to assist him in handling the trivial matters of the election registration stage.

And in the capital of the Republic of Goa, the highest level of education is naturally the small aristocratic group.

As a result, the former minor nobles took over the throne very smoothly and became the first group to take power in the new republic. And these people were given the title of affairs officials by him, although there is no specific rank, but until the election results are announced, these affairs officials will be below the Asura alone, and above the thousands of people.

But there is another problem that Ashu Rome needs to face, and that is the restoration of order - especially since he is directly destroying the original royal family with great force. After the complete deposition of the once rotten but at least functioning military-political bureaucracy, the capital, which had fallen into a state of complete freedom, entered a state of chaos.

In order to avoid the tragedy caused by absolute chaos, the Asura had to rebuild the 'state-owned armed institutions' once again.

A country, especially the capital city of a country, needs to have specific personnel to maintain order anyway, and this group can be a garrison army, it can be a police department, but no matter what kind of name it is, if this powerful group of people is not strongly restrained, sooner or later it will evolve into a freak who interferes with the country's trend by force, and in that case it will be out of the original intention of the Asura to establish a republic.

Therefore, the Asura decided to carry out a magic reform on the ninja army system of the Uchiha Dynasty, and established two standing armies - the National Guard and the Garrison.

The members of the so-called National Guard, which includes all citizens of appropriate age, adopts the mechanism of serving as soldiers in wartime and peasants in leisure time, and acts as the sole armed force to defend the Republic and wage war against foreign countries; The duty of the garrison is mainly to maintain order in the capital and various towns, not only does it not have enough weapons, but even its authority is strictly limited.

Since the elections have not yet officially begun, and a number of elected proxies, including the chief military officer, have not yet been put in place, the current National Guard is nothing more than an empty shelf, and the garrison is occupied by the defeated officers of the former Kingdom Garrison.

Asura saw all this, but he didn't mean to interfere.

After all, all he can do is create a new framework, and how the content will be filled and how it will develop in the future will depend on the creation of the citizens of the Republic of Goaya themselves.

"In a world where power is self-serving, having so-called power does not mean anything."

Asura said this when the nervous 'free people' outside the city elected their representatives and tactfully expressed their camp's unease when they met with Asura.

Of course, from the perspective of those freedmen outside the city, the changes are not good at all, after all, the people they used to deal with are now back to their original positions in a high-sounding manner, although not to show off their might, but to some extent show that 'we are different'.

The freedmen, on the other hand, lost the new source of 'means of production' in the garbage mountains after the fall of the royal family and the great nobles.

Although most of the freedfolk made a lot of money from the raids in High Town, these were 'unsustainable' in their eyes—everything began to cost money to buy; Coupled with the vindictive spending that began to take place, the already modest wealth shrank rapidly, and even a few freedmen returned to poverty in just a few days.

"Dear Lord, we sincerely hope that you will be able to guide us through the maze......"

The representatives of the Free Folk preached again.

“…… Say hello to your people and let them concentrate all their votes on candidates from the common group, and at least take the position of tribune. ”

The Asura was silent for a while, but still gave advice: "In this way, at least you will not return to complete poverty. ”

"But...... The positions of consuls and military officers will be ...... by those who"

The representatives of the freedmen were still somewhat dissatisfied.

Although the republican system constructed by the Asura is very simple, the specific functions and responsibilities are very clear; The freedmen, despite their humble origins and extremely limited education, at least have the wisdom to survive, so they understand the strengths and weaknesses of their group of freedmen from outside the city in the general election - but the hearts of the people are not satisfied after all.

"All you have to do and can do is to unite."

Asura frowned, a little impatient in his tone.

"Follow Your Will ......"

The representative of the free people did not dare to say more, and after thanking him again, he found a reason to resign and leave.

Asura, on the other hand, continued to write the Basic Law on the Social Structure, which he had been thinking about for a long time.

……

On April 10, the second year of the emperor's reign, that is, on the seventh day after the Asura destroyed the royal family of the former Goa Kingdom, the first election of the new republic officially began.

Although there were endless episodes and small chaos in the process, such as bribery, falsification of votes, manipulation of elections, private grants, etc., the first administrative officer system was officially born in the chaotic election under the control of the Asura and with the deterrence of quickly hanging the heads of the rebels in the voting area.

As the Asura had predicted, the alliance of the minor nobles and merchants took the majority of the military and political positions, while the majority of the civilians inside the city and the freedmen outside the city were mostly elected representatives in the seemingly useless National Assembly, except for the tribunes.

It seems that apart from the absence of a royal family, there was no difference between the nascent Republic of Goa and the period of the kingdom.

But the Asura was not surprised in the slightest and did not interfere with the outcome of the election.

Because it's also inevitable.

Even though the freedmen knew that they had to rely on their votes to maintain their own interests, they were not able to carry out military and political affairs because of their lack of knowledge, so they often became intimidated by certain high-ranking positions that required a certain amount of professional competence in the course of the election campaign, and thus gave up on the verge of defeat.

In this regard, the asura believed that only subsequent beatings would make these people learn to fight for their own rights, so they let it go.

After the administrative officer took office, the first meeting of the National Assembly was officially convened under the organization of Asura.

But the first proposal that passed was unexpected by the Asura -

"Foreign Development Act?!"

Unless the Asura had sent a shadow clone to supervise the entire process, he would not have believed that this was something that could be proposed by a new state that had just been established and had not yet had time to rebuild.

"Your Excellency, this is the common wish of all adults in the National Assembly......

Milles Buch, the new consul from a small aristocratic family, said respectfully: "After all, the Republic of Goa is now facing a chaotic situation in the East China Sea, and it must actively go out to have room for development......

Although it is only a small country, even in the era of the kingdom, there is no shortage of ambitious heroes in Goya, but due to external factors such as strength, status or status, there is no opportunity to show their talents.

"Of course, based on the balance of strength and the great spirit of the republic, we plan to reclaim and develop the western region, and the specific affairs will be carried out by the National Guard composed of free people......"

Archon Millers explained, "After all, we need enough food fields, and the freedmen need to have their own fields......"

"In that case, it's up to you."

Asura didn't bother to continue looking at this bill, "However, you must also understand that all the consequences will be shared by everyone in the Goya Republic. ”

"Thank you for the freedom you have given us, and we will never fail to live up to your expectations!"

Consul Milles immediately said: "By the unanimous decision of the National Assembly, we support you as the eternal head of the Republic of Goa, and we hope that you will be able to ......"

"I'm not going to stay in this country for long."

Asura shook his head, "The flames of revolution and republic haven't started to spread yet, I have other things to do. ”

"We want you to accept the position of Führer, even if it is ......"

Archon Millers tried to persuade him.

"I accept the false Führer, but the future of the republic is still in your hands."

Asura pondered for a moment and decided to give these people a reassurance.

"Dear Führer, we will be your eternal loyal supporters!"

Archon Millers, who managed to hug his thigh, was overjoyed.

……

Following the creation of the Republic of Goa, Ashuma continued to travel throughout the East China Sea, destroying the royal family and subverting the member states wherever he went, and establishing twelve republics one after another.

Although these small new nations are extremely vulnerable, they have a military force that is difficult to resist even the usual pirate attacks, let alone the mighty navies.

However, the attraction of the new republican regime still attracted many people, especially some of the leaders of small pirate groups with lofty ambitions who thought they had a hundred thousand strategies but had no talents.

And after being joined by the Pirates, individual coastal republics have followed the model of the Republic of Goya and released ambitious development plans, pushing the war in the East China Sea to a new peak!

……

"Alliance of the Thirteen Republics?"

The chaos in the East China Sea, especially the successive destruction of the kingdoms, also alarmed the anxious Lieutenant General Karp.

"The puppet regimes of these small countries are not a disaster, but the people who manipulate this matter cannot relax their vigilance against him!"

After reading the intelligence materials, Lieutenant General Tsuru also expressed his opinion: "This man named Asura is more dangerous than a hundred so-called republics!" ”

"Shall we launch a bounty then?"

A rear admiral asked.

"Bounties aren't enough......"

Lieutenant General Karp shook his head: "This matter requires the participation of the World Government, after all, those so-called republics were once one of the member kingdoms......"

Today's naval fleet not only has to hunt down the Fog Hidden Pirates, but also needs to clear out the endless pirate gangs that have emerged in the surrounding kingdoms of the station, and it is really impossible to spare manpower.

Moreover, Vice Admiral Karp was reluctant to take aim at these so-called republics, because he understood what it would mean for the citizens of these republics to launch an attack on the navy - especially now that the navy was beginning to show signs of recklessness.

"But we can't do nothing."

Lieutenant General Tsuru once again gave his opinion.

"For the next military affairs, please be the commander for a while......"

Lieutenant General Karp pondered for a moment and said to Lieutenant General Tsuru: "As for the so-called Thirteen Republics, I plan to go and see ...... for myself"

“…… Stand down! ”

Vice Admiral Tsuru's face changed, and then he waved away the admiral who was present.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

“…… I'll take a look. ”

Lieutenant General Karp replied.

Lieutenant General Crane looked at Lieutenant General Karp, who had a gloomy face, and stopped talking.

"I know what you're worried about, but not yet......"

Lieutenant General Karp sighed and said quietly, "However, this world cannot be changed without change. ”

"You've never been one to listen to other people's opinions, so I guess it's useless to say more......"

Lieutenant General Tsuru shook his head, "But, I hope you don't go that far!" ”

Lieutenant General Karp was about to say something, when there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Two lieutenant generals, urgent news ahead - the fourteenth republic is established!"

The admiral who rushed in hurriedly said with a heavy breath.

"What's so strange about this......"

Lieutenant General Tsuru said with some dissatisfaction.

The reason why she wanted to get those admirals out was so that she could have a good talk with her old friend Karp and let him not think too much; But the uninteresting Admiral broke in and interrupted her train of thought.

"This time, it wasn't the man who set up the ...... Asura"

The admiral handed over the information in his hand.

Lieutenant General Karp took it and looked at it, and then his face changed: "There is actually a second force!" ”

"Who is it?!"

Lieutenant General Crane was also a little surprised: "Could it be that the Fog Hidden Pirates have established an independent state?" ”

"It's not a foggy hide."

Lieutenant General Karp shook his head, and there was an inexplicable implication in his tone: "It's the ...... of the Self-Warriors."

"Dragon's ......"

When Lieutenant General Tsuru heard this, he really didn't know what to do.

"Now the dragon has also changed its power to the Revolutionary Army, claiming to completely subvert the East China Sea ......"

Lieutenant General Karp resisted the impulse in his heart, handed the information to Lieutenant General Tsuru, and at the same time got up and said, "So, I can't continue to sit idly by. ”

"I'll report to the headquarters in seven days......"

Lieutenant General Crane was silent for a while before he said quietly.

Lieutenant General Karp nodded slowly, and then strode out of his cabin. (End of chapter)
