Eight hundred and sixty-eighth chapter monarch's shield(1/2)
The easternmost part of the Old World, adjacent to the "Wall of the World", is the desert kingdom Heymar that guards the passage between the western countries and the Peacock Islands.
The ancient city of Medina, the royal capital, and the Dune Palace.
In the vast palace complex, the huge white circular dome, pointed arched doors and windows, and exquisite decorations with complex patterns make this palace complex solemn and varied, powerful and elegant.
Compared with the architectural art of Western countries, it is full of exotic customs.
The current king, Merwan II, who wears a golden crown, is sitting high on the throne that although it is luxurious, looks a bit old, holding a jar of black liquid and looking at it intently.
With that serious look, he seemed to be trying to show off this dark and smelly thing.
Even though the prime minister was standing in front of the throne, bowing and reporting to him, he didn't even let him raise his eyelids:
"Your Majesty, although the situation in the country is relatively stable, many countries of the same sect within the surrounding Diocese of the Most Holy 'Bright Starry Night' have been in turmoil.
And after winter, the bewitched civilians not only did not calm down, but became more and more violent, you see"
Speaking of this, the prime minister's face couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment.
Two hundred years ago.
At that time, the Kingdom of Heymar was undoubtedly in its historical heyday and was also the most powerful country in the Origin Continent.
Because it controls the only road trade route with the Peacock Islands in the East, many mainland countries further to the west depend on it for daily necessities such as tea, spices, and porcelain.
Both its territory and cultural influence will be much stronger than they are now.
But today, that originally vast territory has formed 22 relatively independent countries and regions.
Only influenced by the beliefs of the "Starry Night Order", they have a unified language, unified culture and customs, and also have close political, economic, cultural, and religious ties.
In this "democratic torrent", this area that has received a lot of assistance from the lowlands has also become the hardest hit area. Royal families from many countries have sent help to the Kingdom of Heimaar, the center of the "Bright Starry Night" diocese.
letter.
After listening to the prime minister's report, the old king said "hmm" and turned to look at a young man behind the prime minister.
The young man is as handsome as a woman, with long golden hair, a pair of crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose, diamond earrings, shiny lip rings, gemstone armbands, and gold anklets, all on his ten fingers.
Full of rings.
Such a distinctive decoration is actually the pinnacle official wizard responsible for international docking affairs, Prince Aliyi.
“Your Majesty, through the ‘Gold Pound Bundling Agreement’ signed previously, the high-pressure steam guns that His Majesty Garriott gave us in advance are enough to complete the replacement of the ‘Hump Knights’ guarding the royal capital.
At least it won't be a problem for the kingdom's stability.
However, those subsequent package agreements that are said to be able to cure the root cause still need to be signed by you. Even if necessary, His Majesty Garriott is willing to come and negotiate with you in person."
Merwan II did not reply directly to him, but first glanced at the beautiful dancers around him who were responsible for dressing him.
They all have good looks, graceful figures, and cool and sexy clothes.
A short red top with a patchwork, and a red dance skirt made of light and transparent gauze. The waist of the gauze skirt with extremely high slits falls below the belly button and above the hips, just revealing the soft and slender waist.
certainly.
Although the costumes of these dancers are beautiful, they are in traditional desert style and cannot attract people's attention.
It's just that each dancer's slender and straight legs are covered with a layer of shiny fabric to cover up minor flaws and highlight the perfect curves of the legs.
Seeing such wonderful things, the old king, who had only the strength of a formal knight and was "working hard" all year round, could not help but feel warm in his heart.
Slowly he raised the jar of viscous black liquid in his hand.
“It’s a magical technology that can turn stone into gold.
Although the huge benefits of the 'Peacock Islands' are gone forever, the 'black gold' like the night sky beneath most of the 'Brilliant Starry Night' parish is a new gift from the goddess and a new future for the kingdom!
Ariyi, my son, replied to His Majesty Garriott, I agree to the "Monarch's Shield Plan."
In winter, sporadic snowflakes are already floating in the north of the New World, but it is as warm as spring in the beautiful White Swan Castle.
"Giggle, wake up!"
"It's you who should wake up, take the move!"
Phew! Phew! Phew!
After taking a hot spring bath together in the luxurious bathroom of White Swan Castle, Levina, Anita, and Olivia wore the same thin white nightgown and had a pillow fight on the luxurious bed in Anita's room.
It seemed that all the turmoil and turmoil in the old continent had nothing to do with them.
Of course, it’s not that they are heartless and unaware of the hidden dangers behind the continued expansion of democratic influence.
It's because the sense of crisis, like the sense of happiness, is a result of comparison. Even ten thousand words of earnest persuasion are not as good as letting them suffer a miserable loss.
This trick was used once during the "Spiritual Tide" period. Based on the comparison between the safe zone and the areas where the "Spiritual Tide" was raging, the people's sense of belonging was greatly enhanced, and it was easier to attract outsiders.
so.
Although the monarchs of several countries have been driven out of office in despair, this situation is not only for the "eyes of wealth", but also for them, the monarchs or members of the royal family, who are happy to see the results.
Such a disturbance in the lowlands will be more conducive to them exploring potential allies.
"Merwan II agreed? Yes, yes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. There is no problem that Heymar's overall strength ranks among the top six in the world.
The gold pound is linked to their oil. I can lie at home and have an endless supply of small money. I’m happy! Giggle.”
While Levina was fooling around with Anita and Olivia, she was chatting in private messages with Ai, who was still in the study criticizing overtime work.
Previously, in order to cope with the destined "democratic flood".
After discussing with the goddess, the two of them launched the "Monarch's Shield Plan", also called the "Kingdom Reform Plan".
Nowadays, facing the "torrent of democracy" that is getting more and more intense and seems to be changing overnight, everyone in the world's major feudal monarchy countries is in danger.
The time has come when the time is right to implement the plan.
For those feudal dynasties, re-designing the top level of the country like the Tulip Kingdoms is difficult, but it is not impossible.
Because in "Kingdom and the Goddess of Navigation", "royal power" does not mean "totalitarian", not in the past, not now, and not in the future.
Take the most typical representative, the Kingdom of Phaletis.
After hundreds of years of active and passive adjustments and adaptive reforms.
The ruling class of this country has become the queen and a large group of interest groups who share the same ideals and goals with her.
It's just that the Queen controls most of the armed forces and uses human rights, rewards and punishments as the de facto head of state.
Contrast this with the "democratic state" established by bourgeois and bankers.
The reformed "Tulip Alliance" countries currently adopt a "big government, small society" model.
As the agent of the royal power, the government manages more, but also bears more responsibilities, especially in the field of people's livelihood, which is obviously opposed to all the money-oriented capital in the country.
In a country established by bourgeois, which adopts the "small government, big society" model, the government's power is relatively weak. It is more accurate to say that the big capitalists, the "eyes of wealth", are the masters of the country.
The people are like leeks that keep cutting off one crop after another. If they cannot create value for the capitalists, they have no meaning in existence!
Therefore, if you want to fight against the absolutely self-interested capital and the "tide of democracy", reasoning is useless.
If you reason with him, he will act like a hooligan with you; if you act like a hooligan with him, he will talk about politics with you; if you talk to him about politics, he will talk about politics with you.
It is in line with the saying, "If you are successful, then there is a golden rule; if you are poor, don't force yourself!"
Currently, in the entire material world, there are only two reigning monarchs with the fourth level, Ai and Levina. With the royal power and the goddess of navigation on their backs, they are the natural flags of the royal power.
They have long lifespans and have already transcended mortal things. They have enough mind and courage to not care about worldly wealth. They understand the relationship between the redistribution of social wealth and long-term peace and stability.
He was also a well-deserved leader among many feudal dynasties.
And those monarchs who everyone is in danger of are their potential allies.
The "Monarch's Shield Plan" proposed by the two people is not complicated but hits the key points of "democracy".
By establishing the "mutually beneficial and win-win" Monarch Shield of the World Federation of Monarchs, it provides protection for many monarchy countries and turns them into "stabilizing anchors" in the "democratic whirlpool".
Then, the three aspects of religion (divinely granted royal power), economic methods (redistribution of social wealth), and strength (extraordinary ones) are used to fight against the "flood of democracy" to ensure the continued rule of the royal power.
The politicization of the "order of respecting God and loyalty to the emperor" has always been the mainstream value of monarchy countries.
at the same time.
In terms of economy, take the Kingdom of Heimaar as an example.
With the rise of the oil industry and the internal combustion engine in the New World, the Principality also gave them huge oil orders.
Rental income is generated through a large number of large enterprises, mines, land and other state-owned assets related to people's livelihood to maintain national expenditures.
It's just like a certain big industrial country no longer cares about agricultural taxes.
Some people are already preparing to propose not to tax citizens, or even to have no tax department at all, creating a situation of "no taxation, no representation" and completely destroying the so-called "democracy" foundation.
Of course, there are rewards for what you put in, and joining the international gold pound system dominated by Tulip is just one of the thresholds.
"To be honest, we have to thank Lowland for the assist."
"Well, indeed, at least Vulkan's arms are selling well now!"
"It's the same thing from the Kingdom, gurgling"
but.
