It has to be said that the concept of the United Kingdom is very suitable for Xiao Letian's current ocean strategy. The deep blue ocean divides human beings on islands. Autonomy actually represents the faster and more convenient handling of civil affairs.
Moreover, once the Pacific Rim Chinese United Kingdom is formed, the span from north to south and east to west will be very large, and there will be a very large gap in humanities, geography, climate, and ecology.
The United Kingdom only unites the military and diplomatic powers of various regions. Each state can formulate some laws and regulations suitable for its region without violating the basic constitution, including decentralizing fiscal power to each locality. The United Kingdom only controls the central bank. It is the right to mint money.
This is a very liberal political form that not only maintains the unity of the Chinese ethnic group but also maintains the differences among regions. Moreover, due to the transitional link of local states, it provides an additional layer of buffer between the people and the highest government. sponge, so that there will not be a very strong confrontation.
According to Xiao Letian's plan, if any country causes anger and resentment, just remove the king of that country and replace it with another person to govern. The hatred of the people will only be concentrated on the local country, while the United Kingdom has always maintained The detached status has become the final arbiter of conflicts.
Sometimes giving up some power can actually make people love you more!
However, this system has a fatal weakness, that is, it cannot be promoted in the Qing Dynasty! This is the unified understanding of the Four Heavenly Kings and all core staff, including Xiao Letian himself.
China is very big, and China has a long history. Starting from Qin Shihuang, the mark of great unification has been imprinted on the genes of the Chinese people, and no one can erase it.
This is a curse. On the one hand, when the nation is in crisis, this curse will suddenly activate and unite the power of all people to save the nation from danger.
But once the external threat is removed, this curse will activate the backlash mode, causing the Chinese to begin endless internal fighting.
China's land area is really too large, and this land is not a country of a single ethnic group. Customs and customs vary from mile to mile, and sometimes two villages separated by a stream have different accents.
China will never lack people who can master the map. Henan looks down on Hebei, and Hebei looks down on Shanxi. The South calls the North a quarrel, and the North calls the South a barbarian!
It’s endless and never-ending. This kind of attachment and separation is the source of internal friction!
Once the central government is weak, local forces will immediately rise. Once local forces cannot be suppressed, and there are any natural or man-made disasters, civil war will immediately occur.
No one will be convinced by anyone. The Chinese people, who are bound by the curse of unification, will fight to the last drop of their blood to achieve the final centralization of power.
Thousands of years of reincarnation have never stopped. This has become a cultural gene and cannot be changed by Xiao Letian alone.
The system of the United Kingdom is definitely not suitable for that continent. Once it is forcibly promoted, the final result will be civil war! The king does not see the king, the king does not obey the king! The kings are fighting against each other!
Countless important ministers looked at Xiao Letian with doubtful eyes. They expected Hua Ling to give the answer in the end, but it was a pity that when Sima Yun finished reading the last line, the question was not mentioned at all.
It was very quiet in the hall. A gust of night wind blew away the thick smoke. Only then did people realize that the sky was filled with stars outside. Looking at the hands on their pocket watches, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
For twelve hours, people did not eat anything. They only relied on wine, strong tea, coffee and tobacco to stimulate people's nerves. This Chinese order made everyone forget the time.
"Prime Minister..." Luo Huo hesitated, but Xiao Letian raised his hand to stop him. Xiao Hexin, who was behind Luo Huo, also secretly tugged on Luo Huo's skirt, obviously not letting him mention that sensitive thing. The problem.
What kind of person is the Prime Minister? How could he ignore such a major issue? If he doesn't say it now, it must be kept secret! After all, Zai Chun is still sitting aside.
Thinking of Zai Chun, people glanced at him one after another. Only then did everyone realize that Zai Chun's face was no longer lonely as in the morning, and his expression became calm.
The shadow of Er Mao appeared behind Zai Chun. Emperor Tongzhi's best friend was whispering something. People couldn't hear but could feel the changes in Zai Chun.
"Give me strong coffee!" Xiao Letian whispered, and then Master Long ran over quickly and handed him a cup of bitter coffee without any sugar or milk. Xiao Letian felt refreshed after taking two sips.
"Time waits for no one, we cannot postpone the problem until next year! Everyone here is an important minister of Ryukyu, and you can already represent the entire Ryukyu!"
"Now, I formally propose to implement the Chinese Ordinance in the Ryukyu Kingdom. If you agree, please press your hands on this original document and swear an oath! If the Chinese Ordinance is passed tonight, tomorrow this document can be named the "Chinese Code"!"
"More than 60% of all officials present must agree to this document before the Chinese order can officially take effect! Cough cough cough..."
"Ah?" the crowd exclaimed, "a vote? an oath? Prime Minister, what do you mean? What you just said for a long time is not an order? Is it just propaganda!"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Letian was furious. "This is a major event that changes history. Am I, Xiao Letian, that domineering? I am not a god. I cannot bear the responsibility of the entire Chinese nation! Everyone must be responsible for themselves. How can you Why rely on me?"
"Even if I'm a walking stick, you still have to walk on your own feet! The Chinese Order is just a proposal of mine. Whether it can become a Chinese Code ultimately depends on what you want!"
This is really an unexpected situation. After Xiao Letian spent so much thought, he only made a proposal, and it was not a direct order. Normally, with his prestige, there would be no resistance at all to implement such a bill in Ryukyu. .
There are tens of thousands of new troops waiting in formation outside the Prime Minister's Palace. The light of torches shines on the whole city. As long as Xiao Letian gives an order, these tiger warriors can tear apart all opponents.
Xiao Letian coughed with a sad face and said, "Ahem... don't look at me like this, and don't think of me as so dirty! I am not a dictator, and I will not force you with bayonets and bullets! You are not My enemies, you are members of the Chinese race like me!"
"The voting must be carried out. I, Xiao Letian, cannot bear such a heavy historical responsibility alone! The cause and effect of hundreds of millions of Chinese people will fall on me. If I go wrong, I will probably fall into hell and never recover!" "
Xiao Letian suddenly shouted, "After all, shouldn't everyone decide their own destiny? Can you change your mentality of relying on strong men and wise kings?"
"The Chinese are obviously the most diligent nation in the world, but why do they choose to be lazy in their thinking? Why do you want to pin your happiness on the so-called wise kings and wise ministers?"
The hoarse roar of the Hidden Dragon shocked everyone present and turned their faces as white as snow!
