Chapter 1117 Democratic Charter

Early 19

Local Australian

After the end of the world war, many disputes of interests broke out around the post-war world pattern, and the deterrent cruise outside Rome was just one of them.

It is related to the global layout strategy. The Ocean Empire cannot give in. There has never been a benefit in this world that has been given to you. We must fight for it.

Just look at the location of Libya and you will know why it is so important?

Libya is located in the southeast of the Mediterranean Sea, at the top of the Arabian Peninsula. European countries, known as the center of the world, can be easily connected through the Mediterranean Sea.

The Ocean Empire has no foothold along the Mediterranean coast, including the Crimea Republic located in the Caspian Sea, and its geographical location is not as convenient as Libya.

For more than 200 years, Britain, France and other countries have repeatedly destroyed the Tsarist Russian attempt to penetrate deep into the warm Mediterranean by wars. The closest time is the Crimean War.

Britain, France and other countries are also very cautious about the power of the Ocean Empire. They would rather let Italy obtain the Libyan region than let the Ocean Empire easily gain a foothold in North Africa.

It is not difficult to radiate influence throughout Europe through the Libya region.

Maybe, only a war can be stopped?

So why did the Ocean Empire occupy Libya and touch the sensitive nerves of Britain, France and other countries?

First, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Libya was a borderless land.

It has a vast area, sparse population, and a very good strategic location. It has a superior port in Tripoli, which is very suitable for the deep development of the Ocean Empire in the region.

Secondly, Libya, as a more sensitive region, can divert anxiety about Crimea from Britain, France and other countries, and is a good bargaining chip for bargaining.

Sure enough

After the Fourth Army of the Ocean Empire returned to occupy Libya, Britain, France and other countries focused on their attention. Instead, Crimea was no longer interested.

After all, Crimea is in the Caspian Sea region and is firmly locked by the Spruenz Strait of the Ottoman Empire. The British have enough influence here and can block the strait at critical moments, just like they did to the Tsarist Russians.

However, the British were unable to block Libya facing the Mediterranean, which was more difficult than blocking the German high seas fleet.

So after mastering Libya, the Ocean Empire can go from the initial 25,500 square kilometers to 130,000 square kilometers in Crimea, and finally the control area reaches 220,000 square kilometers, and the control area is gradually expanded.

In order to obtain concessions from the Ocean Empire on the Libya issue, Britain, France and other countries had to make significant compromises on other issues, including Crimea and the Arabian Peninsula.

Political struggle is the process of bargaining.

Libya's third major role is to strive for geostrategic interests. As long as it controls the Libyan region, Britain, France and other countries can only be led by the nose.

The so-called war is just a last resort.

Dream Castle Immortal Residence Hall

Seeing the recent summary of the situation from Europe, Li Fushou put down the file with satisfaction. Prime Minister Zhang Li and Secretary-General Gu Kaizhi both stood by the side, waiting for his inquiry.

"The construction of the new capital has been fully launched. What is the situation now?"

"Report to the emperor, the construction of the new capital will be presided over by the new Minister of Home Affairs Cai Tinggan. After soliciting opinions from all parties, it will be temporarily named "Chang'an". The final name is still to be approved by the two houses of the parliament and will be approved by the emperor." Prime Minister Zhang Li replied respectfully.

"Tinggan has worked by my side for many years, and his ability is undoubtedly enough. This new capital construction is also his work alone. He hopes to deliver an excellent answer." Li Fushou said calmly after walking behind his back with his hands on his back.

"The name Chang'an has a profound historical accumulation and represents the once glorious period of Chinese culture and the era when all nations came to worship.

Chang'an is also the unquestionable political center of the Tang Dynasty. The blessing of multiple meanings is indeed worthy of the important position of the new capital.

Since that's the case, then settle down.

The parliament will pass relevant bills as soon as possible. Today, when military demand is receding on a large scale, the construction of the new capital can be fully launched and enough jobs can be created.

This is one of them.

The second important task is the imperial constitutional reform, and it has reached an urgent time to advance.

This unprecedented world war allows us to see the biggest drawbacks of the monarchical dictatorship system. The once powerful Germany, Tsarist Russia, Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire collapsed one after another, indicating that the dictatorship system has lost its vitality in the new era.

Therefore, the parliament must review the "Democratic Charter" as soon as possible, mobilize the whole society to make suggestions, hold a major democratic discussion, and include all democratic systems and good suggestions that are conducive to social development in the scope of discussion.

Imperial constitutional reform is imperative. Towards a truly powerful prosperity, one person’s decision-making is inevitable to be biased. It requires collective efforts to give full play to the superiority of the democratic system.

At this point

Despite the ease of promotion of the cabinet, any stubborn and conservative royalist forces will ignore it. If the lawsuit comes to me, I will make the decision for you, so there is no need to worry about it."

When Li Fushou said this, Prime Minister Zhang Li and Secretary-General Gu Kaizhi beside him had already bowed to the ground and said excitedly; "I am dead, I beg the Lord to take back my orders. In my heart, as long as the Lord is in charge of the universe, the empire will be safe to develop!"

"Oh, you two don't need to persuade you. I have made up my mind to reform the imperial constitution and must be firmly promoted." Li Fushou sighed lightly and comforted him with a gentle voice;

"You are all old bureaucrats who have been in politics for a long time. You should know that there has never been a saint in all dynasties who have started well and ended well. The three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, were inevitably politically incompetent in the later periods, and this is not a violation of human power.

When people get old, they are bound to be very happy and often make mistakes.

Although Emperor Joseph of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, William II of Germany and Nicholas II of Tsarist Russia had many personal character flaws, they also had the disadvantages of being arrogant and arbitrary in the later period of their rule, which became the fundamental reasons for shaking the foundation of the empire.

Only by establishing a stable and mutually balanced democratic system can the Ocean Empire ensure clear politics and stable rule.

The dictatorship will end with me. The empire needs a more democratic way of rule and political arrangements, and that's what you need to do.

The empire actually has no real constitutional reformists, so you can only let you promote it with grievances. I believe this is a good thing for our country and nation.

If necessary, even if the monarchy is abolished..."

"Master, please don't want this. If this is true, I will only die." Prime Minister Zhang Li was already trembling and could not stand, and shouted with a hiss.

Li Fushou sighed lightly, stepped forward and helped him up, patted him gently on the shoulder and said, "I know your intentions, this is the worst-case arrangement, don't worry."

"I beg the emperor to temporarily stabilize for a period of time after promoting the "Democratic Charter", so that the people of the society will gradually accept new power arrangements and promote the "Equal Rights Law". Otherwise... I am worried that the change will be too great at once, which will make the society at a loss and become chaotic, which will backfire."

"Uh... it's really a bit too hasty, so as I said, promote the reform of the Democratic Charter during this administration, and leave the Equal Rights Law to the next cabinet to implement!"

Li Fushou's words finally gave Prime Minister Zhang Li a reassurance and his expression became more relaxed.

It is now early 19 years, and the empire will hold a national election this year, and the new cabinet will take office at the beginning of next year.

The cabinet organized by Prime Minister Zhang Li has been re-elected for two terms, each term of five years, totaling 10 years.

According to the constitutional provisions of the Ocean Empire, it is impossible to be re-elected for the third term. At that time, if you are healthy enough, it is highly likely to enter the House of Lords (Court of Nobles) to exert your remaining heat.

That is to say

It took a year to promote the reform of the Democratic Charter and promote the vote and approval of the House of Commons and the House of Nobles. Although the time is a little short of time, this arduous political reform task can still be completed.

This is a constitutional reform led by the imperial emperor Li Fushou. With his unparalleled prestige, he was able to suppress the huge opposition from the conservative royalists and promote the reform.

Just as the Lord said:

The Ocean Empire has been expanding its territory smoothly and has made many achievements, spreading the glory of the empire all over the world. It is now a prosperous scene and dazzling, and it is the period when the empire's reputation reaches its peak.

If Li Fushou had not promoted it, there would have been no constitutional reformists in the empire. Instead, the conservative royalist party had unprecedentedly strong power, and resistance from all sides would make people feel numb just thinking about it.

Don't say anything else

The two new Army Marshals Duan Qixiang and Bian Chunsong are both fanatical and conservative royalists. The older generation of Marshals Li Shuanzhu and Mo Rufeng are the same, and are loyal believers of the emperor.

The newly promoted naval marshal Zhu Qingxi and Zhang Daoru are also hard-core royalists, the kind of person who are dead and hard.

The military's attitude is like this. The government can say that the emperor's disciples are everywhere. Who would agree to constitutional reform?

Last year, the MPs who proposed the reform of the Democratic Charter in the House of Commons almost drowned, were scolded by public opinion and became rats crossing the street.

If the Empire Emperor Li Fushou had not personally come forward to protect him, this guy would have committed suicide in shame after a few days, right?

Faced with the imperial emperor's voluntary delegation of power, the public and public opinion were actually a voice of opposition. It was a strange thing that truly agreed with the reform of the "Democratic Charter".

The emperor wanted to delegate power, and there was a voice of opposition among the people. Both sides expressed their true feelings and no hypocrisy. This was rarely seen in the process of democratic system reform in other countries.

Whether in Britain or France, too much blood has flowed in order to win the democratic rights of parliament.
