The so-called position is never static, especially the position of politicians. As we all know, the chameleon is the emblem of politics, language is nothing more than a tool used to conceal ideas, and political positions are only a means to serve political goals.

Needless to say, Li Lin behaved like a dictator many times. The Council, which was originally like the Senate of the Roman Republic, has almost become a stamping machine in the face of all kinds of fait accompli in the face of Li Lin's strength and ability. However, it is too much to think that Li Lin intends to establish an empire of dictatorship and autocracy.

What Li Lin wanted, or rather, took into account the international realities, the feelings of the people of the occupied territories and dependent territories, and the strength of Alfheim himself, that the most correct and safest path chosen for the new empire was a federal empire. Only in this way can the internal and external contradictions be alleviated to the greatest extent, and the buffer period used to digest the results of the battle and boil the frog in warm water can be fought as much as possible.

Therefore, the newly born Holy Gilmania Empire must also be a central, central, and centralized federal empire, through the representative body under the constitutional system, the Imperial Parliament, political groups representing different social interests or economic forces can speak in the Imperial Parliament and submit bills to the Council for review. As a result, although the political status of the fourth class citizens, who constitute the vast majority of the population, has not been fundamentally improved, they are clearly superior to the people of other countries in terms of their access to political discourse and their ability to participate in a certain degree of political activity.

Of course, this does not mean that Charlemagne's people will let go of their hatred, have a good impression of the empire, and even have a sense of belonging, and it cannot be ruled out that Charlemagne's people will think of using parliaments and political parties to change the power structure of the empire, or even subvert the empire. But as long as Li Lin is still sitting on the throne, all these ideas are not worth mentioning.

Li Lin is not particularly inclined to a certain ideology or a certain class. Freedom and **, democracy and royal power, parliament and emperor - Li Lin did not care about the merits of these struggles. He will support whichever side is conducive to the achievement of the ultimate goal. The military, the capitalists, the aristocracy, the middle class, and even the working class are all pawns and tools at his disposal. He is like a vessel full of wishes, and every subject of the empire can see in him what they want to see, and see their prayers come true. As long as he continues to bring victories, his subjects will continue to show loyalty.

In contrast, the title of "Emperor of the Empire" may not be emotionally acceptable to the majority of the elven public, but as long as they try to convince everyone that this is the result of Li Lin's careful deliberation and judgment based on national interests, the elves can accept it. After all, the war has been won anyway, and one or two temporary, small concessions will go with him, as long as they are harmless.

As for the military, which is supposed to be a natural ally of conservatives and the right, the military is reluctant to get involved with politicians, and even if it has to get involved in politics, it prefers to intervene as independent and independent of party power. In the final analysis, this is a contradiction between the military and politicians. That is, politicians want to use the military to achieve strategic goals, and the military is often not happy to be interfered with by politicians. When there is a confrontation between politics and the military, which side has the final say will directly determine the fate and future of the country. In order to compete for the right to speak and dominate, the two sides are bound to quarrel endlessly.

Basically, this is the case, and the final ending is mostly bloody and tragic. Either the young generals couldn't bear it anymore and went to the homes of important ministers to "punish the country," or the politicians tried their best to suppress the soldiers, and came up with a bunch of moths and institutions that weakened national defense and restricted the army, and were finally taken advantage of by foreign enemies. The contradiction between the two can be resolved by either a sophisticated communication and coordination mechanism, or a supreme leader who has both leadership and military talent. Judging by known historical common sense, those who possess both military command and political coordination will end up with emperors, though most emperors do not possess both. However, Li Lin did not have this problem, and with his prestige and control of the army and the loyalty of the army, there was no need to worry that the army would express opinions contrary to him in the dispute over the emperor's title.

After all, the only people who will really be entangled in the issue of the emperor are the conservatives led by Speaker Wiesbach, and except for the speaker, the determination of the other members is not very strong. Most of the parliamentarians have already approved of Li Lin's plan after Li Lin's communication and tandem, and some of them have even begun to persuade the speaker not to live up to the expectations of the people and let the emperor's crowning ceremony be held smoothly, and they have also dragged a bunch of jurists and lawyers to assure the speaker that the crown of the "imperial emperor" is a genuine product with real power and majesty, and is not a scare shelf.

Poor Speaker, he is destined to become a praying mantis with open arms trying to stop the chariot from advancing, and being run over by the will of the Emperor and the tide of history is his only end. The only thing to be thankful for is that the emperor has chosen a less ugly pose to crush the stubborn old man.

The 72-meter-long Hall of Mirrors is imposing, with 17 huge mirrors wiped spotlessly, faithfully reflecting the well-dressed delegation of the Council, the military delegates draped in medals, and the foreign guests dressed in costumes. After the fall of the old kingdom of Gilmania, the top figures of elves, humans, and orcs gathered for the first time to witness the historical moment of the birth of a new empire.

After the priest gave a speech praising Alfheim to heaven and earth, the chief official began to read the "Letter to the People of the Empire":

"In the name of the Mother Goddess, the dictator of Alfheim, in response to the unanimous appeal of Charlemagne's circles and the people of the land, to rebuild and administer the empire that had been interrupted for a thousand years. I hereby inform you that the Dictator has taken this matter as a duty to the whole Fatherland, and has accepted the petition to accept the title of Emperor. ”

After the official finished reading, there was silence in the hall, with neither cheers nor applause.

Just as the guests looked at each other and Speaker Wiesbach clenched his fists, the captain of the Guards stepped out of the crowd.

I saw him raise his clenched fist and shout:

"Long live His Majesty Emperor Li Lin (. Majest?t，）！”

- Neither "Emperor of the Empire" nor "Emperor of the Empire", but "His Majesty Emperor Li Lin", the cunning captain of the personal guard thus confused the question.

The guests and most of the attendees did not notice this detail, and the officers drew their swords in unison and shouted "Long live" three times. The orchestra conductor, who had been waiting for a long time, waved his baton vigorously, and the majestic and solemn "Hooray! Victor's Crown" suddenly resounded throughout Versailles and Lüddes.

Hooray! Winner's Crown!

Lord of the Fatherland!

Hooray!

Feel the glory of being on the throne

In the light of the light, the passion is high

You're people's favorite!

Long live my emperor!

Whether it's a horse or a knight,

I can protect the peak

Where the prince is located:

It is the passion of loving the motherland,

It is the freedom of the people,

Create a ruler's throne

Like a boulder on the sea

Sacred Flame,

Glow,

Never extinguished,

For the sake of the dear Motherland!

Fought and bloodied with honor

For the Emperor and the Empire!

The majestic and loud singing resounded across the earth, and the big bell in the church rang at the same time, and the Holy Gilmanian Empire was born in this instant. 8)
