Chapter 537 Reform
Emerald Palace, Hudson, who arrived in the royal capital with the investigation team, had not had time to make a summary report on the issue of "Ten Thousand Years Calamity", and received the news that the investigation team of the Avalarat Kingdom was coming.

Reform has never been a new term.

Not to mention those far away, but in recent years, many countries have carried out internal reforms, some of which were successful, but more of them failed.

For example: the extinct Warhammer Kingdom is the best negative teaching material.

Because of the political reforms induced by the internal power struggle, it directly led to the division of the country, and then perished in the alien invasion.

A group of small countries in the Northern Continent are also representatives, but the reason for their failure is not reform, but their own size is too small and the time for reform is too short.

He just decided to learn from the Alpha Kingdom and carry out military system reforms, but he ended up in the continental war only halfway through.

If they had reformed ten or eight years earlier, the current mainland situation would have changed drastically.Maybe they still can't stop the coalition forces of the Elf Race and the Ancient Remnant Race Alliance, at least they can hold on for a little longer.

It's a pity that there is no if in reality. The reforms that were hastily launched in the crisis, only the Principality of Moxi succeeded.

However, the situation of the Principality of Moxi is special. They were able to complete the internal reforms, thanks to the help of the orcs.

The original political and military systems were all destroyed during the orc invasion.

During the war, the army was handed over to Hudson again, deeply influenced by the Kingdom of Alpha.

The subsequent reforms were entirely military reforms, which led to political changes.

In fact, the Alpha Kingdom is not very advanced in terms of political system, it is only because of external oppression that the administrative efficiency has been passively improved.

At the core, it is still the same as all countries, and they are all playing with the enfeoffment system.The difference is limited to stricter regulations on military mobilization.

The remaining political structures and local management models are almost the same as those of mainland countries.

The difference is not very big, and the vested interest groups have suffered heavy losses, so the Principality of Moxi was able to complete its internal reforms.

Behind this is George's crazy money-gathering. Only by relying on strong financial resources can he pave the way for reform.

Similar operations cannot be replicated by other countries.

Even if the nobles in the country are willing to support the reform, how can everyone make up for the damaged interests?

The Principality of Moxi relied on inheriting the legacy of the Warhammer Kingdom, and the Kingdom government sprinkled a lot of money to calm down the voice of opposition.

The reforms of the three countries in mainland China are currently progressing very unsmoothly.Including the advancement of military reform, there are also many difficulties.

This is not a question of whether the nobles support it, but it involves vital interests, and no one wants to suffer for themselves.

There was no grand scene of reformers and conservatives hacking each other, it was all because there was an alliance of alien races around.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Avalat is too good at making excuses, right?"

Hudson said helplessly.

With one more high-level reason, the nature is completely different.

At the very least, if the Kingdom of Avalat wants to investigate, all countries must cooperate.The specific cooperation strength depends on the situation, but on the bright side, the relevant work must be done beautifully.

"The catastrophe of ten thousand years is about to erupt" was spread by the Alpha Kingdom.When encountering this kind of thing that involves human safety, more needs to be done.

This is the power of righteousness!

"Marshal, perhaps the Kingdom of Avalat is just the beginning, and more countries will join in the future.

Whether the reform can be promoted is not important, and the truth or falsehood of the news is not important to them.

As long as the banner of righteousness is raised, those evil neighbors who are peeping at them must restrain their minions now.

If it is done out of line, the criticism within the human race can make a big force mess up.

Of course, the Kingdom of Avalat should really want to reform.I met Elton VIII when he traveled across the continent during the Crown Prince's time.

This person became famous at a young age, and he did several major things in the time of the crown prince. He has a very high reputation in the noble circle of the Avalat Kingdom.

This reform has been brewing for a long time within the Kingdom of Avalat, and most nobles support it.

I don't know if it will be successful in the end, but it will definitely cause quite a lot of fluctuations anyway.

If they are lucky enough to succeed, the situation in the southern continent will also be affected, which is also a good thing for the kingdom.

As for the political investigation, I will work hard for you to cooperate fully, and it will be regarded as paying off old debts.

In the past hundreds of years, the kingdom has repeatedly encountered orc crises, and all countries in the mainland have contributed! "

Caesar IV spoke soothingly.

It's not that Hudson is petty, it's mainly because the Kingdom of Avalat came to visit this time and directly requested to communicate with him.

In name, communication is actually asking him to do the reception.

The reason is very realistic. The continent of Aslante is dominated by the military system, supplemented by the political system.

The core of reform in various countries is often military rather than politics.Generally speaking, as long as the military strength is strong enough, it is a sign of a strong country.

In this regard, the Alpha Kingdom is one of the best, and it is famous in the mainland for its militarism.

As the founder of the new military system of the Alpha Kingdom, Hudson is undoubtedly a favorite.

If it weren't for his huge foundation in the Alpha Kingdom, everyone really couldn't ask for a price, and the people who came to poach the wall would fill the palace.

If you can't dig people, it's good to communicate.

"Celebrity effect" is applicable everywhere.

Especially when it comes to this kind of major reform, how can we persuade the opposition if we don't get a few big figures to endorse it and go back?

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the reform of the Kingdom of Avalat will not go smoothly.

In addition to our willing support, it is estimated that the Holy See hopes that they can be reborn from the ashes and muddy the waters of the southern continent.

The Kingdom of Iberia, which had been eyeing them for a long time, would definitely jump out and make trouble.If this reform is not done well, it may accelerate their decline! "

The prime minister, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, said worriedly.

If the reforms of the Avalarat Kingdom backfire, then the annexation wave in the southern continent will further intensify.

This kind of pattern where the strong are always strong is not what the Alpha Kingdom wants to see.

The human nations annexed each other, and the increase in strength was immediate, but it was not as hard as the Alpha Kingdom.

Even if the Near East strategy advances smoothly and the kingdom's overall national strength grows, it will take a lot of time to accumulate.

"Prime Minister, in fact, there is nothing wrong with reforming. The Avalarat Kingdom has fallen to where it is today because of internal conservatism.

If we don't carry out comprehensive reforms, we will just stand still and wait for death.Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to give it a go while there are still chips in hand.

There is no need for thorough reforms, as long as the administrative efficiency and military system are reformed, they will be able to protect themselves in troubled times! "

Marquis Delgado immediately retorted.

The success or failure of the Avalarat kingdom's reform has little to do with him, but as the kingdom's finance minister, Marquis Delgado has passively become a reformer.

Everything is driven by money.To reverse the financial predicament, fiscal and tax revenue reform is imperative.

It's just that this is very difficult. The Alpha Kingdom is playing a tax system, and any move will inevitably affect the interests of a large number of nobles. It is simply not something that he, the Minister of Finance, can promote.

If you can't handle it yourself, you must build momentum.No matter which country wants reform, he now supports it.

As long as the spring breeze of reform is blown, the Alpha Kingdom will inevitably be affected.

Other countries are making drastic and comprehensive reforms. He just wants to reform the tax collection model, which is not worth mentioning at all.

In this regard, Caesar IV was his greatest supporter.

It's a pity that apart from the king, there are not many ministers in the court who support him.

It's not that everyone doesn't know that direct tax collection can greatly increase the government's fiscal revenue and increase the central government's control over local governments.

The problem was that the knife was cut on himself!
The important ministers of the court are also great nobles, all of whom are beneficiaries of the tax package system.Once the tax reform is carried out, the families behind everyone will be slaughtered.

This kind of unforgettable pain is not something ordinary people can bear.If the kingdom is in a critical moment, for the sake of the overall situation, maybe everyone will grit their teeth and agree.

The current Alpha Kingdom is obviously not at that level. Except for the relatively poor government, the whole kingdom is booming.

Even the orc, the old enemy, was trampled underfoot at this moment.It can be said that the current Alpha Kingdom is in the most beautiful time since the founding of the country.

It is not that there is insufficient motivation for reform, but that there is no motivation for reform at all.

Knowing it with reason and moving it with emotion is useless.

It's just that the government is a little poor, and everyone doesn't take it seriously.

On the issue of fiscal and tax reform in the Kingdom, Hudson chose to be neutral.

If everyone agrees, he can also give up the benefit of the tax package. Anyway, Xueyue Territory is currently in a tax-free state, and most of the mountain territories are not on the kingdom map.

All parties insist on opposition, and Hudson will not choose to be a retrograde.

In the thinking of the nobility, the first choice is to protect themselves, rather than placing themselves on the opposite side of interest groups for the benefit of the kingdom.

Of course, he didn't do nothing.At least he stood up and spoke out when the finance ministers from all sides made troubles.

This kind of implicit support also plays a big role.

In addition, Marquis Delgado's reform is indeed out of public interest, and it is only a political idea, which has not been implemented, and has not yet reached the point of immortality.

This saved the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Otherwise, with the support of the king alone, Marquis Delgado might have been driven home long ago.

After all, Caesar IV was not a strong monarch.Almost every time the ministers agreed, he made concessions.

"Everyone, there is no need to get entangled in this issue. The affairs of the Avalat kingdom are decided by the Avalat people themselves.

Even if we want to interfere, we are beyond our reach.

Rather than being a thankless villain, you might as well choose to sit on the sidelines and wait for the situation to develop! "

Hudson said with a smile.

In order to maintain the stability of the court, he also tried his best.

He also felt very powerless against the political sensitivities of the Marquis Delgado.Can't say none at all, but really not many.

If he hadn't been good at financial management and could fool the kingdom's financial black hole, he would have been kicked out long ago.

Make no mistake, this is not what Hudson wants to see.Once the Chancellor of the Exchequer resigns, a gap in the court opens.

As the king, Caesar IV, it is impossible to let this group of old guys be active in front of him all the time.Once the opportunity is seized, he will definitely install his own people.

The old and new factions directly enter the court, and party struggle will become the main theme in the future.

For the thriving Alpha Kingdom, this is an absolute disaster.

Deep down, Hudson also knows very well that this kind of thing will happen sooner or later.

"One emperor and one courtier!"

No matter how much Caesar IV could endure, there was a limit.As a monarch, how can he tolerate the fall of power for a long time.

Perhaps the performance of all the ministers in the court is good, and their loyalty is not bad, but these are secondary factors in the face of power.

The gap between "auxiliary ministers" and "power ministers" is often at the moment when the monarch grows up.

However, a group of ministers also had no choice. They climbed to their current positions, and they didn't just live for themselves.

The interest groups behind them will not allow them to back down, even in the face of the king.

Hudson insisted not to enter the court, just because he didn't want to be swayed by interest groups.Even though he is far away in the frontier, there are still a large group of people around him, pushing him to "move forward".

Vaguely, Hudson had some doubts that Caesar IV supported the reformists not to promote reforms, but to open a hole in the court.

The end of one topic often marks the beginning of another topic.

It's a pity that Hudson guessed wrong this time. Everyone's curiosity about the Ten Thousand Years Calamity was not as strong as he expected.

Maybe it feels too far away from life, and everyone's attention is very limited.

After briefly describing the basic situation, the reply I got was: That's it!
Then there is no more.On this issue, all politicians are very flexible.

The countries on the mainland are staring at the reaction of the Alpha Kingdom, while the high-level officials of the kingdom choose to watch the reaction of the elves.

One link after another, all of them are smart people.

It's fine if you don't know, everyone knows the existence of the "Ten Thousand Years Calamity", so naturally they can't sit still.

If you don't have coping experience, then learn from experienced ones.Even if the judgment is wrong, it will be unlucky for everyone.

After leaving the palace, Hudson's mind was buzzing.

What happened today taught him a lesson.Indigenous political wisdom should not be underestimated either.

Especially when it comes to experience, the performance is even better.

If you don't know the situation, then don't go into it, just follow the experienced ones and copy the homework.

Regardless of how the foreign race blocks the news, just follow their example.Anyway, large-scale preparations for war cannot be hidden at all.

……

The Alpha Kingdom was beyond its reach, and chose to sit on the sidelines, but the situation on the mainland was still detonated.

The country that is also in decline and needs to rely on reforms to continue its life is not just the Avalat Kingdom.

In the past, no one moved, it was because there were too many worries, and the failure of the reform would make the situation worse.

Some of these countries have even reformed once, but it ended in failure.

Now being so stimulated, people of insight from all over the world have taken action again.

Reform may not be able to reverse the country's destiny, but without reform, it will definitely be over.

Although the nobles may not be finished when the dynasty changes, the original benefits will most likely shrink.

The older generation seeks stability, but the younger generation has long been unable to bear it, and they are clamoring for reform.

For a time, the whole continent was full of voices for reform, including those in several major human countries clamoring for reform of domestic injustice.

Kingdom of Libya.

The neighbors who they regard as their lunch suddenly want to reform, and even sent a delegation with great fanfare. Naturally, Bordeaux VIII must pay close attention.

"What's going on?

The new king has just succeeded to the throne, how dare the Avalat Kingdom reform at this time? "

Bordeaux VIII asked concerned.

"Reform" is no small matter in any country.

Under normal circumstances, when power changes, the first thing the new monarch should do is to stabilize power, not so-called reforms.

If the reform is frustrated, it will be a political accident for the new monarch whose power has not yet been stabilized.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Avalat actually has no choice. It's not that the new king chose to reform, but their internal problems can no longer be suppressed.

At this moment, there is still a glimmer of hope for the reform. If it continues to drag on, and when all parties are in balance again, there will be no room for reform in the future. "

Earl Midford, Minister of Foreign Affairs, explained.

The political reforms in various countries are similar, and they are usually "forced", and the Kingdom of Avalat is no exception.

The young and strong faction who supported the new king were eager to change the status quo, and they couldn't bear it long ago.As a king, you can't do it alone.

Simply take the reform as an opportunity to directly exchange blood for the court.

After all, Xinjun is also in his 40s, and his team has long been stable.

"Um!

Looking at it this way, it makes sense.

Neither Elton VIII nor the Duke of Grenafein are idle people, and if the two of them join forces, they may really be able to achieve some results.

His hero, my enemy.

Although we and the Kingdom of Avalat cannot be called life and death, the conflict between the two sides has long been buried.For the sake of the kingdom's strategy, it's better not to revive the kingdom of Avalat! "

Bordeaux VIII said murderously.

Geopolitics is often the most unsolvable problem.The strategic conflict determined that the Kingdom of Libya must prevent the rise of its neighbors.

"Your Majesty, all eyes are on Avalat Kingdom right now, we should not act rashly for the time being.

If something happens, it will be discussed in the Terran Alliance Parliament, which will be very detrimental to our international image.

What's more, in this kind of political reform, too much external force intervention may lead to rebellious psychology, which in turn promotes the internal unity of the Avalat Kingdom.

Might as well wait and see their reforms first, find a suitable entry point, and then give them a fatal blow.

Maybe we don't have to do anything, they have brought themselves into a point of no return in the process of reform! "

Prime Minister Olmos Marquis said with a sneer.
