April 16, 1891

The king issued consecutive decrees;

The wartime system will be lifted, the wartime mobilization policy will be abolished, the wartime emergency committee will be dissolved from now on, and peacetime policies will be restored in various places.

From now on, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania will implement military control systems to maintain social stability and rebuild social order.

The Ocean Kingdom implemented government institutional reforms, imitating the British government, parliament and courts, and King Li Fushou appointed Xin Changjun as prime minister to be responsible for organizing the first government cabinet.

The parliament is divided into the House of Nobles (i.e., the House of Commoners) and the House of Commoners (i.e., the House of Lower), with elected at an elected period.

The courts are divided into three-level systems: the Supreme Court of the Kingdom, the State Court, and the Municipal Court. The system of independent prosecutors is implemented, and independent prosecutors are elected.

At the same time, the king's edict;

All the bills for discrimination against Chinese inequality in southern states will be abolished, and the Queensland policy will be implemented nationwide, which will encourage business and business operations, and will encourage the development of agricultural, animal husbandry and fishery industries according to local conditions, which will clearly make private property rights sacred and inviolable.

The civil service system is implemented, and civil servants are evaluated and selected every year. Those participating in civil servant selection are given priority to military experience. They are required to be proficient in both Chinese and English language, meet the assessment standards, be loyal to the king, be loyal to the country, have no bad habits and criminal records, and have good character assessment.

After a long period of preparation

The title ceremony was held in the beautiful Dragon Shou Hall of the fantasy castle. King Li Fushou, Queen Gu Liuyan, Lady Xiang, Nicole, Fiona, Lady Tian, ​​Lady Qin and other princes and princess attended.

In a sacred and grand atmosphere, in accordance with the rigorous aristocratic etiquette, King Li Fushou personally awarded the titles of the top ten earls, the titles of the thirty-six viscounts and the titles of the 108 barons. All the above aristocrats had noble fiefs, and they were inherited from generation to generation and retired with the country.

The top ten counts and nobles have plans;

Earl of Kaiyuan Xin Changjun

Wu Mozhou, Earl of Fuyuan

Zhu Wei, Earl of Mingyuan

Wu Xuewen, Earl of Guangyuan

Earl of Zhongyuan Fan Asheng

General Conrad Adenauer, Earl of Weiyuan

Admiral He Fang, Count of Zhenyuan

Admiral Geng Baogui, Earl of Deyuan

Fuyuan Earl Yuchi Shouzhuo Army General

Earl of Zhaoyuan Morufeng Army General

Among the 10 major count nobles, there are five civil and five military officials, and the military and political parties are evenly divided. Each of the superior count nobles is an important minister with extraordinary talents and excellent abilities. They can be said to be the pillars of the kingdom, and they deserve this honor.

Needless to say, Prime Minister Earl Xin Changjun, Count Wu Mozhou, who served as the chief executive of the African camp, took on African colonial affairs alone, and his civil and military achievements were both outstanding. Mozambique and Somalia flourished under his governance and made great contributions.

As a senator and director of immigration affairs, and president of Normandy Import and Export Company, Earl Zhu Wei, has been rooted in mainland China for more than ten years. He worked hard to establish the "Guangji Hall" in 17 provinces in China, and established hundreds of eagle schools to continuously provide the Australian continent with knowledge, ability and culture. He has laid a solid foundation for the kingdom step by step and made great contributions to the country and the people.

at the same time

Normandy Import and Export Company has developed into a giant that communicates foreign economic and trade channels in the three continents of Europe, Asia and the United States in more than ten years. It is a world-class large foreign economic and trade company. It has established an Export-Import Bank of Foreign Exchange to further facilitate import and export trade, occupying an indispensable and important position in the national economic life and has a great influence.

It was awarded the high position of Count Zhu Wei, and it deserves its reputation.

Wu Xuewen, Earl of Guangyuan, stood out because of his brilliant achievements in developing Shangri-La Island, and made a new world. Therefore, he was among the top nobles. He was the lucky one who came first.

This is another example of the Earl of Zhongyuan Fan Asheng. He is the longest dog of King Li Fushou. He has followed His Majesty for the longest time. Although he is not the best in his ability, he has the advantage of being loyal and doing things in a stable manner. He will never be wrong with what he has assigned to Earl Fan Asheng. He can rest assured to put them anywhere.

Earl Fan Asheng has served as director of the Red River Valley Management Committee, mayor of Brisbane, Prime Minister Lan Fangguo and other important positions. He is qualified and has rich resumes. More importantly, he is deeply trusted by King Li Fushou. It is natural for such a loyal dog to throw a piece of meat bone, which is something that others cannot envy.

As for the five important military officials, I will not repeat themselves. They are the ministers of the military pillars of the Ocean Kingdom and the only five generals in the kingdom. Each of them deserves this honor with the great victory of the Civil War. They are worthy of this title and are indisputable.

Among the 36 viscount nobles awarded by King Li Fushou, military officials accounted for more than half. Basically, senior officers above major general in the army received the viscount, and the remaining were some civil officials who gathered together to shine with the stars.

Most of the 108 baron nobles are soldiers. The most worth mentioning is... Duan Qirui finally caught up with this wave of rewards from founding nobles, ranking 101st among the 108 baron nobles awarded, which was considered to have caught the last train.

April 27, 1891

The list of cabinet members of the first government of the Ocean Kingdom has been released. This cabinet has a term of five years. National elections will be held in five years to elect a new cabinet.

Prime Minister Xin Changjun

Count Connor Adenauer, Secretary of the Army

Earl He Fang, Minister of the Admiralty

Viscount Kesterner, Minister of Finance

Minister of the Interior Virgin Dai Yingcai

Viscount Hu Chaoshan, Minister of Economic Affairs

Earl Zhu Wei, Minister of the Colonial Ministry

Minister of Justice Vixen Tamayama

He Shoutian, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites

Virgin Shoudao, Minister of Culture, Education and Health and Medical Department

Viscount Hou Guangde, Minister of Industry

Vixen Zhang Li, Minister of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry

Viscount Jia Donghe, Minister of Transport

Viscount Fan Zhongzhai served as the secretary-general of the royal family, Baron Li Sixian served as the deputy secretary-general, and Major General Li Jie (the viscount) served as the director of the military officer waiting for seclusion.

The first half of 1891 was spent in a busy and chaotic state. After experiencing the victory of the War of Unification of the North and South, the initial establishment of the kingdom's ruling system, a new round of institutional reorganization and running-in, many profound and profound restructurings, the Ocean Empire was initially established as a feudal kingdom under the constitutional monarchy. The kingdom implemented capitalist policies, vigorously supported the development of workers, peasants and commerce, and showed vitality after social stability, and economic development continued to advance rapidly on the fast lane.

Entering July

After experiencing the initial chaos, the kingdom government agencies quickly entered an orderly and smooth track. The cabinet took on all the government affairs of the kingdom, and the army also entered the post-war adjustment stage, restoring up to more than 200,000 soldiers in batches.

Except for a small number of people returning to their hometowns, most of the re-transferred soldiers chose to stay in southern states with better conditions, mainly New South Wales and Victoria.

After a brief climax, the Ocean Empire army is beginning to lay off employees significantly.

The number of Army troops has gone from a peak of more than 630,000 (350,000 were recruited in the third phase of mobilization) to more than 320,000 people today, and has experienced a great cycle of reincarnation from climbing to falling.

The existing military posts have been reduced by the number of casualties in the war, and the number of soldiers who were disabled and retired in the early stages has basically remained at a relatively reasonable level.

Next three years

The army will take measures to retreat but not recruit, and continue to reduce the existing military posts by half, about 130,000 to 180,000. The specific number of them can be left depends on His Majesty the King's final ruling and the military's efforts.

As the military, of course I hope that the stronger the power in my hands, the better.

A powerful army is not only conducive to maintaining the territorial security of Australia and overseas provinces, but also has the ability to further expand and meet the ambitions of military generals to make achievements.

However, for the cabinet government, an excessive number of troops is undoubtedly a huge burden. There is a voice in the cabinet, hoping that the military scale will be further reduced on this basis and it is most appropriate to maintain 70,000 to 80,000 people.

Isn’t it beautiful to improve infrastructure construction that the large amount of military expenditure saved will be used for national economy and people’s livelihood!

This opinion is believed;

Australia's local location advantage is similar to that of the United States. Because the vast Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea are blocked, there are basically no rivals in this region. Maintaining an excessively large military scale is not beneficial, and it will consume limited financial funds.

The military was actively angry at this argument and sued His Holiness in anger and excitedly, demanding that this irresponsible argument that hurts the feelings of the soldiers be stopped.

On the Hall of Supreme Harmony

Li Fushou wore a crown on his head and stood high above the throne. In front of him were civil and military ministers sitting on both sides and left and right, and they fought for the issue of disarmament.

"Your Majesty, you are so deceptive." General Conrad Adenauer, Minister of the Army, said with anger to the civil servants. "Hundreds of thousands of army soldiers sacrificed their lives and died to bring about a comprehensive peace in Australia today. Now that the corpses of heroes are not safe, these thieves have begun to make the idea of ​​disarmament. This is not a disarmament, it is simply a one-sword. Many troops with glorious history of war will disappear from now on, and it will really make the relatives hurt and the enemy happy!"

Conrad Adenauer speaks Chinese very fluently, and he quotes classics in a very good manner. It can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort on weekdays and his Chinese level is quite high.

The courts in the Ocean Kingdom use Chinese to discuss matters. If any minister is not proficient in Chinese, he can't even figure out what others say, let alone protect his own interests?

"Lord Conrad's words are bad. Disarmament is not simply about attacking the army. It takes into account the overall interests of social development, not just the narrow interests of a certain military department." Brisbane Mayor Viscount Wu Xuewen was displeased and retorted;

"Before the North-South War, the size of the army hovered between 50,000 and 60,000 for many years.

Thanks to the good military mobilization system established by studying under Germany, we have the ability to increase the size of our troops to more than 650,000 within three months, and to more than one million within half a year. Who else can we look around the South Pacific?

Now Australia is unified in the north and south, with no internal strife and no external troubles. In order to develop international livelihood, the cabinet intends to further adjust the size of the military and free up limited funds to use it on the edge. What's wrong with this?

Nowadays, there are many major livelihood projects that need to be launched. The cities that have been destroyed by war in the southern states are in ruins. The soldiers who have experienced bloody battles also hope to get rid of their troops as soon as possible, enjoy a peaceful and stable pastoral pastoral life, and maintain a large-scale active army, which is unnecessary and cost nothing.

Taking the British Empire as an example, its colonies are spread all over the world. This year, the total number of British Army personnel is only more than 276,000, and we have maintained a military scale of 320,000. This is simply outrageous."

"Hey... Sir Wu, you are wrong. Our military has not strongly demanded that the size of the army be maintained at 320,000 people. However, small-scale security wars in the south are still in progress. It is not a matter of thoroughly eliminating the insults and bandits overnight. In addition, the implementation of military control requires maintaining the size of the army above a certain number. This is just a temporary measure."

"Yes, we are now discussing how much organization the army will retain in the end. Please do not take it out of context, Lord Conrad."

"What is the military taking it out of context? In fact, we have been forced to have no way out. In the end, the size of the army of 180,000 to 200,000 was achieved through rigorous sand table deduction. In addition, we must also consider that many meritorious troops with glorious history, the inheritance of honor tempered in the war cannot be broken. This is the soul of an army. If we do not want the army's combat effectiveness to decline sharply, retaining the size of the army is almost the lowest limit."

"This is impossible. After a look at the 200,000 troops, how much military expenditure will be spent in a year including 5 cavalry divisions and 3 artillery divisions? Who should such a huge army deal with?"

"What does it mean to deal with whom? His Majesty the King ordered us to deal with whom. Even when facing the French, we dare to start a war..."

"Ahem... OK, okay, don't argue." Seeing the old man Conrad Adenauer becoming less and less sensible, Li Fushou coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention to himself, interrupting the argument between civil and military ministers, and then saying to the mud; "There was no hurry to do this, well, everyone go back and consider whether there is a compromise plan, and it's not too late to talk about it."

The cabinet shared all the livelihood affairs of all sizes and big, and Li Fushou suddenly became idle. He was still a little uncomfortable and needed to slowly adjust to a new rhythm.

As a superior, he is happy to see the debates between subordinates.

The Ocean Kingdom is a new feudal kingdom. It does not have the old bureaucratic habits. The government agencies are full of high vitality from top to bottom. Everyone is dedicated to making a career to live up to their lives.

In this environment, it is normal to argue about the differences in the angles of their respective positions. There is no need to mark right or wrong, just follow the trend.

Since His Majesty the King has spoken, he looked at each other with a cross-eyed look, and turned his head back to his seat.

Admiral Conrad Adenauer's luck in sitting in his seat "huffing" seemed to be really angry.

Now the issue of disarmament is the Army’s sensitive point. Whoever wants to raise it? The three generals of the Army are like cats with tails stomping on their teeth and clapping, sticking to the bottom line of 180,000 will never waver.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has another matter..." General Conrad Adenner glared at several ministers in the cabinet and said with resentment; "The cabinet not only stopped the equipment plan of the Wild Wolf Light Tank Division, but also stopped the light tank production line, and significantly reduced the R&D funds of the Leopard Medium Tank. This is the ace project of our army. Such a self-destructive act of destroying the Great Wall is heartbreaking. You must know that this is the Army R&D project that Your Majesty personally inquired about, which is simply outrageous."
