3. Even if Heaven Falls (14)
Some call it a "pacifist constitution" by its nature.
Some call it the "MacArthur Constitution" or the "Occupier's Constitution" according to the name of the legislator.
Others simply call it the "bayonet constitution" or the "penicillin constitution" based on personal emotional preference.
In any case, the "Constitution of Japan" formulated by Douglas MacArthur, a five-star general of the Micelli Ghost, has cleaned up the neon for nearly a hundred years.
Showa twenty years. In August, there was a loud bang in Hiroshima, and the ghost animals of the United States sent a total of ...... to the neon prostitutes. No, it's MacArthur.
When he was young, this handsome man took Eisenhower and Patton and others, cut veterans on Pennsylvania Avenue who wanted to be severed, and served as the governor of the Philippines...... Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, who attacked the Philippines, and Admiral Yamashita Fumi, who defended the Philippines, are specimens.
Of course, Mai Dashuai will not just be cool, in the days when he was the leader of the occupation army, Da Shuai left a lot of "legacy" to Neon, the most important and the most painful for Neon people, is the Constitution.
The core of this constitution, which was pieced together by four qualified lawyers in the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the occupying army over the course of a week, consists of three articles:
1. Retain the emperor, but only as a symbolic existence;
2. Give up war and not have a standing army;
3. Abolish the feudal system such as the "Chinese";
All three of these articles were enforced, and the second of them became Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, which is the core of the constitution known as the "Peace Constitution."
Here's what it reads:
1. The citizens of Japan sincerely pursue international peace based on justice and order and forever renounce the right of the State to use force or the threat of force in the settlement of international disputes.
2. In order to achieve the purposes set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Army, Navy, Air Force and other combat effectiveness shall not be maintained, and the right of belligerency of the State shall not be recognized.
Just from the point of view of law and the progress of human civilization. That's a big step forward. But for the Japanese, it is really quite aggrieved. Beginning with Shigeru Yoshida, the first prime minister after the war, Japanese prime ministers began to ponder and change this article one after another. Among them, Shinzo Abe was still alive and was tossed out of colorectal cancer and vomited blood, but it is estimated that Mr. Abe will not be able to see the successful revision of the constitution in his lifetime.
Why? The reason is simple. I don't know whether intentionally or not, the Mics who wrote the Constitution wrote the following paragraph in Article 96, Paragraph 1 of the Constitution: "After two-thirds of the total number of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate are in favor, the Congress begins to deliberate." Proposals are submitted and recognized by the people. Recognition of the people means that a majority of the votes must be approved to hold a special national referendum or a vote at the time of the Diet election. ”
Anyone who knows a little bit about political science knows that there is hardly any party in a parliamentary system that has a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and even if the Prime Minister can dissolve the House of Representatives and re-elect, the House of Councillors cannot be dissolved, and the elections for the two houses are split, and only half of the seats are re-elected at a time, so it is impossible to hold two-thirds of the seats in the Senate. Because no matter how popular a political party or a candidate. After 3 years, the popularity will definitely wither.
That alone is enough, not to mention that there is a restriction on referendum voting. Why? Wouldn't it be enough to amend this article? Yes, we should first decide step by step in accordance with the procedure set forth in this article whether or not to amend this article of the Constitution.
Some people may say, that's okay, can't Qi Neon become the unanimous of the whole country again, and everyone will work together to fight Mi Ying's ghost animal or the sworn enemy on the other side of the sea to the end, and abolish this broken constitution?
To be honest, it's still not possible. Because the Mic, who belongs to the same Anglo-Saxon clan as the British, also dug another pit for Neon called the "Basic Law of Education".
In addition to the army, navy, and imperial parliament in terms of hardware, the lifeblood of the Bigfoot Basin Empire was also the "Constitution of the Empire of Japan" and the "Edict on Education" in terms of software. It can be said that it has become the "Yamato soul" of the text. The Imperial Constitution enshrined the sanctity of the Emperor, and absolute loyalty to the Emperor was achieved through the Edict of Education.
Since they went to school, the Japanese have memorized things like "loyalty to the monarch and patriotism" in the "Edict of Education" every day, and over the past few decades, it has really penetrated into their bones, and those devil soldiers who often "shatter jade" or shout "the sky is dark and the card is loaded" and carry bayonets and 38 big covers to launch a long-live charge against the ghost animal position blessed by machine guns and cannons are the products of the "Edict on Education".
The Japanese knew exactly what this educational edict meant, and on August 18, after the defeat of the war, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture issued a statement saying that it was inconceivable that post-war reconstruction would be done without the edict of education.
Things that devils think of. The ghosts also thought that in order to completely cut off the influence of the "Edict on Education" and stop the Japanese education system from teaching brain-dead soldiers who can shout "the locust army will never be slaves", they not only exported the American-style education system to Japan, but also gave a copy of the "Basic Law on Education" that can be called the "Constitution of Education".
Back in July 1945. The U.S. Department of State has set up a special committee to study how to re-educate Japan. The experts have come to the conclusion that it is not only the system that needs to be reformed in Japanese education, and if we do not reform the ideology of Japanese education, Japan will once again embark on the road of militarism, and in order to reform educational thinking, we must first abolish the edict on education and find something to replace it, and this thing is the "Basic Law on Education."
The "Basic Law on Education" came into effect on March 31, 1947, one month earlier than the "Constitution of Japan," and its essence is very simple -- it is forbidden to mention "morality" and "patriotism," because "morality" is equivalent to "loyalty to the monarch and patriotism," and "patriotism" means "loving the imperial country" and "loving the military state." With these two items, the education of the Edict and the values of old Japan are completely finished.
Not only that, but the textbooks "war", "bushido", and "seppuku" have all become coded words, and military physical education such as bomb throwing, creeping forward, and assassination have all been canceled, and kendo and judo have also been banned for a time, until a certain ghost animal who burned Tokyo to the ground fell in love with judo, and the ban on kendo was even further back, and the bayonet was simply restored in a middle school in September 2015 (the neon high school students of the 21st century spell bayonets, this style of painting is obviously wrong.) What about the giant robots?).
The consequences of this education system over the decades are illustrated by the Fukushima nuclear power plant after the March 11, 2013 earthquake, where the Self-Defense Forces who were supposed to learn from Maoko, who was supposed to shout "Long live the Motherland" and stormed Chernobyl, refused to carry out the order, citing that "nuclear radiation is harmful to health." The reaction of ordinary people was "the country that wants the people to die for it will perish", and the reactor was disposed of by a group of widowed and lonely grandfathers......
There was no Japan after Showa. The ancients did not deceive me. The declining birthrate of the Hei adult is inevitable, because the Japanese have been psychologically emasculated by the rice country, and no matter how to launch welfare policies. How to promote the 18X culture, how can a group of spiritual fathers-in-law increase production and serve the country?
Now Li Lin intends to apply these two laws to Charlemagne after the defeat.
MacArthur had an interesting remark about Japan after the defeat of the war, saying:
"There is no precedent in history for a country and its people to be completely subjugated like the Japanese at the end of World War II. What the Japanese experienced was not just a military defeat, the destruction of their armed forces, the loss of their industrial base, or the occupation of their territory by the bayonets of foreign soldiers, but the Japanese way of life, which had been held on to by the Japanese for centuries, was uprooted because of this defeat. ”
"There is no precedent in the whole of modern history that has been so devastated. The inhabitants of this island nation have always believed that their soldiers are invincible and that the culture is remarkable...... But all of this was turned upside down in an instant, and they suffered unimaginable disasters. At this time, like all human beings, they would turn to religion, but even religion in Japan had been absorbed by the state and became an indispensable part of the fascist system. ”
Charlemagne was similar after the defeat, and the experience that had been proven by "history" could not be applied to them.
According to Li Lin's plan, any post-war indemnity, trial of war criminals, land and land splitting, garrison bases, extraterritoriality, and division of spheres of influence can all be put aside. But the Peace Constitution and the Basic Law on Education must be ensured as a matter of priority, in parallel with the post-war Charlemagne regime. At the same time, it was necessary to ensure that the new regime was established by the pure Charlemagne royal family.
The reason why the above three conditions must be met is that Albion, which has a long tradition of stirring, is still fearful.
Between countries. There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests - no one in Albion has said this yet, but this highly realist country does put this theory of interest into practice.
Don't look at them fighting Charlemagne today, after the rise of the elven camp, it won't take a few days for them to be with Charlemagne, and when the time comes, they will get a down-and-out prince and a wandering nobleman to set up a government in exile or a "second Charlemagne" or something like that in Rundinium. It's a sure thing to go and disgust the other side from time to time. While this is not a tragedy for the elven camp and the new government that has been fostered, it is indeed disgusting, and it would be a real problem to create an association like "Free Charlemagne" and stir up resistance everywhere in the occupied territories.
In order to avoid the above. Charlemagne's rearmament and the formation of military blocs with other countries must be isolated by a pacifist constitution and a basic law on education, and the new Charlemagne's government must be fairly legitimate, and a royal family of pure blood must be enough to turn a government in exile into a farce.
The first person to take on this important role is none other than Minerva.
"What we need is security, as long as we can ensure security, we can talk about the garrison, the territory and so on. Conversely, Charlemagne was the same after the war, what was needed was not to re-fight the army as a whole, but to recuperate. If this can be guaranteed in the form of law, both you and I will reap substantial benefits. ”
Li Lin still stared intently ahead.
Even if the war is over, the competition between countries will continue, and after the reshuffle, a new round of competition will begin. At that time, the three camps of elves, humans, and orcs will be formed, and Charlemagne, who can contain Alfheim from the side, will definitely become the object of all parties. If Alfheim, who confronts Charlemagne, cannot be adequately secured, then the only way to stop this threat is to use force. On the other hand, Charlemagne, who had bled after the Great War, had no spare energy to participate in the international game, and he had to pay a considerable price, although the conditions offered by Alfheim were harsh, and they were better than ceding land and paying reparations, or even swallowing the whole of Charlemagne.
It is better to say that the conditions offered by Li Lin are the most favorable to Charlemagne.
Now Charlemagne, with the strength of one nation against the whole world, has little chance of victory, and if defeated, he is likely to be divided and dismembered - the woolly bears who have never forgotten the "warm deep-water port of the South" will obviously not miss this wonderful opportunity. The old rival Albion will definitely make Charlemagne pay the price, Castile is a little weaker, and probably has no chance to expand the territory, but they will definitely be happy to see Charlemagne divided, and the security threat in the north can be regarded as lifted...... If you think about it, Charlemagne is watching the rhythm of the end.
In contrast, Li Lin's proposal was already the best result that could be obtained.
Listening to the demonic voice that makes people think that deduction is real, the fist on his knee trembles slightly, and he wants to say something, but he doesn't know where to start. Is it because I haven't understood the other person's intentions? No. More than the proposal itself, the voice that spoke of it frightened Minerva and even chilled it. This tone that seems to not exist in the human world, and is too detached.
"We have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of your country, and we understand the royal family's reluctance to allow outsiders to interfere in the struggle for the throne. But we hope that when the dust settles, the future Charlemagne will be friendly to us, and that the leader will be a wise man who can judge the situation and understand us well. If His Highness is the sovereign, then it would be better, take a step back, if His Highness is the regent, we are willing to accept it. ”
After saying it without hindrance, the almost empty pupils turned slightly, reflecting the girl who barely kept sitting.
He was not at all worried about whether Minerva would accept it, she was too young, inexperienced, impulsive, and far from a qualified politician.
If it were Richelieu, he would have noticed Albion's-stirring tradition of balancing the continent, as well as the fears of the nations about the expansion of the United Rus' principality and the latent fear of the rise of the elven camp, and made the most of these factors to induce the direction of the post-war international conference. If you're lucky, it could make it another Vienna conference, a classic example of a defeated country becoming a post-war power and forging the international order.
But Minerva was only a 16-year-old girl, and her education and mindset taught her that in the current environment, accepting the other party's proposal was the only logical option. It's just that I can't accept this conclusion for the time being, and there is no other reason, it's just that I can't accept it emotionally.
Feelings are always a rather complex and inefficient issue. Sometimes it's so slight that it's not worth mentioning, and sometimes it's so important that it affects one's judgment. But no matter how much they struggle and resist, in the end, everyone can only face reality.
It's just a matter of time. (To be continued......)
