Europe is undoubtedly dominated by monarchies, but this does not mean that there is no market for republics.
Although there are only two republican countries in Europe, France and Switzerland, republican ideas have influence in any European monarchy country in Europe, and Republican parties such as capital, society, and communism are widely spread.
As long as there is turmoil in the European monarchies that shakes Europe and changes the situation, it is time for the republicans to come to power.
The reason why the monarchy dominates Europe now is not because there has not been much subversive chaos in Europe recently. In addition, the most important European royal family does not want the republicans to come to power, so the European monarchy can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Spain's Bourbon royal family was beaten by Portugal into the Castilian royal family. In this case, the Communists should come to power.
It is a pity that this is not the case. After World War I, the European monarchies were depleted and weakened, and the republicans were still tightly guarded.
Pedro broke Spain into four parts, and the three independent parts were still European monarchies. He also helped the turbulent Castile stabilize the situation and actively helped to strangle anti-European monarchists.
However, the European royal power is very stable now, but it does not mean that it will still be like this in the future. Therefore, the royal family still needs to actively shape its own image and value so that the people can tie the royal family to the country.
The Netherlands has a long history of royal power, but it also has a long history of republican rule.
The Orange family is the founder of the Netherlands and is considered the father of the country. However, it was suppressed by the Republicans for a long time and deprived of its ruling position. If the Dutch-French War had not broken out and the Republicans had repeatedly lost the war, they would have needed to ask the Austrians. If the Orange family takes action, Orange has no chance to turn around.
The current influence of the Dutch royal family among the people is not very high, but this influence can be deepened.
Although the Dutch royal family does not have much real power, to be honest, this is also an advantage. If something happens to the country, the royal family can completely pass the responsibility to the parliament and cabinet.
This kind of shirking of responsibility is reasonable, because the royal family does not hold power and has no arbitrary power, so why should it be responsible.
Although the Dutch royal family currently has no real power, it does not mean that there are no ways to strengthen it. It can also be done through economy, public opinion, and charity.
The Thai royal family is an excellent example of turning a false call into a real king.
When King Rama IX of Thailand came to power, his previous predecessors had almost lost the power of the royal family. The capitalist republicans controlled the real power. King Rama VII was abroad all year round and refused to return to the country.
King Rama IX, Bhumibol Adulyadej, was a complete mascot when he came to power. However, later on, he took advantage of the contradiction between the military and civilian officials, and actively created the importance of himself and the royal family to Thailand, and gradually became a neutral arbiter.
“If the royal family wants to stay firmly in Diaoyutai, it must increase its influence and make politicians and the public feel the indispensability of the royal family.
Charity and public opinion should be combined. The royal family should have its own wealth, give less advice on government opinions, and let the cabinet run it. It only needs to control the military and supervisory powers. "
The royal family always adds its own influence in the operation of policies. This is undoubtedly wrong. If there are problems with these policies, the king will definitely be the target of criticism, and the royal family's influence will also be damaged.
If you want to guide policy, just use your shadow members in the cabinet and parliament to do so, and don't stand on the stage.
Standing on the stage will attract attention. No matter what you do, good or bad, you will always offend people. If you offend too many people, you will be attacked by public opinion. This is definitely very bad for the royal family.
"Perrod, you said that the royal family should stay behind the scenes and not stand in the front to hold power."
Combining Pedro's ideas and the current situation in Portugal, Wilhelmina has a vague feeling that he will hide behind the scenes and end his current personal governance.
"You are now standing on the table, directly planning and designing Portugal, and operating every step with your own hands. Will you guide the Braganza royal family to hide behind the scenes in the future?"
"Yes, I had a plan a long time ago. Once the ten years of military rule and training are up, I will start constitutional rule and hide behind the scenes."
If the foundations of Portugal and Brazil weren't so dilapidated, there would be no need for Tangning Pedro to stand at the front desk and work hard for the development of the country as he is now.
Portugal's education is considered to be the worst in Europe. Without enough talent accumulation, it would be difficult for Pedro to hide behind the scenes.
The implementation of constitutional government still requires talents. Without enough talents, it is unreliable to think about a group of poorly educated rabble in the parliament.
Ten years later, Portugal has also accumulated a lot of college students, and the number of talents has also greatly increased. This can make Pedro feel at ease.
Because, in order to ensure the quality of the post-constitutional government, Pedro made many regulations for the Parliament and the Cabinet.
The parliament has an entry criterion, which is that members must have a university degree, while the cabinet's entry criterion is that they need majors or experience that match the position they hold.
In fact, compared to the nature of politicians destined to be born in parliament and cabinet, Tang Ning actually believes more in the civil service system.
The civil service system has been assessed. Under the control of the Ministry of Supervision, if the civil servants and professionals born in the system do professional things, I will undoubtedly be more reliable than the parliament.
That's right, Portugal's civil service system is based on the British Whitehall. Their duty is to maintain the operation of the Portuguese government, assist the left and contain the cabinet.
The civil service system has great autonomy. They are independent of the parliament and cabinet and are supervised by the king, not by the parliament and the cabinet.
The upper and lower parliaments, the cabinet and the civil servants, the independent Grand Court, and the Control Council that supervises all parties. This is the government system designed by Downing Pedro for Portugal.
"Wilhelmina, what you have to do now is to form a Control Council that is independent of various government agencies and control the military. If you do these two steps, you will truly control the country."
Pedro taught Wilhelmina: "The Dutch monarchy cannot do this now, but you can implement it step by step.
You can make plans now, organize the royalist parties you can influence to gain parliamentary leadership, organize a shadow cabinet, and establish the Oversight Council. As for the army, which is simpler, you can start from the military academy and instill the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism into the army. "
"There is actually a prerequisite for doing these things, that is, you, the Orange royal family, need enough financial resources. Only when you have enough money can all parties take you seriously." Pedro mentioned the key point of financial resources. out.
“The Orange royal family still has some wealth, and no one stipulates that the royal family cannot do business.
As long as it is legal and compliant, you will have no problem managing the royal family's property, and compared to ordinary businessmen and those big chaebols, the businesses run by the royal family are more trustworthy.
The royal family has more connections than ordinary businessmen. As long as they are managed properly, Orange's enterprises will only grow bigger and bigger and provide more jobs. By then, your royal family will have an increasing influence on the Netherlands. "
