Chapter 239 Royal Faction and Parliament Faction
Jacob shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I'm talking about that fat-haired, pink-faced boy who talks about saving the country and the people every day, but spends the whole winter hanging out in various clubs and parties every day."
Of course Jacob was talking about the leader of the Liberation Party, Geer, who had never had a good impression of this talk party.
"You, do you know that Senior Geer is also working hard to raise donations for the poor?" Theresa tried to retort.
"Then how much did he raise?"
"This, should, should be dozens of marks."
When Jacob heard this, his expression became even more disdainful.
"I thought he could raise a lot of money in one winter, but it turned out that he slept with so many rich women to get such a small amount of money."
Theresa blushed in anger and continued, "You, you."
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Martin stopped and said: "Okay, I have another bad thing to do. You know that in the Kingdom of Leaf next door, their civil war broke out." New
Seeing that his superior and boss were speaking, Jacob changed the subject in time.
"I know, what does their fight to the death have to do with us?"
When Teresa heard the news, she immediately knew what the bishop was worried about. By the way, she despised Jacob's political sensitivity, and then she spoke.
"Idiot, don't you know that when a neighboring country goes to war, a large number of refugees will naturally flow to us? Just like if your neighbor's house is on fire, your own home will also suffer."
Jacob replied carelessly: "Refugees have nothing to do with us. Let's not mention that we are not on the border with the Kingdom of Leaf. Besides, what does Mrs. Leaf's life and death have to do with us Dunlanders?"
"That's enough, Jacob, shut up now. The core group of miners in our mine are descendants of Leaf. Their close and distant neighbors are coming to join us. How can they ignore it?"
Martin was a little angry. Although he was not a holy father and a kind father, he still couldn't bear to watch people with whom he had some contact live and die.
Temesha flipped through the ledger at this time and showed it to him.
"But winter has passed. No matter how high the output of our coal mine is, if we can't sell it, we can't hire more people."
"So this is a headache for me and I don't know how to solve this problem."
Martin made a sad face, maybe he should ask for help from his friends in the Classical Literature Club.
After sending away the two idiots, Annick looked at the remaining three people, picked up the chalk and wrote two words on the blackboard.
Royal faction and parliamentary faction.
"Is there any connection between the mastermind behind this and the army? Do you have any guesses?"
Nolbe raised his hand, then pointed at the blackboard and asked.
"Section Chief, what does this have to do with the royal family and the parliament?"
"Huh? Don't you know that the army is also divided into two factions? The royal faction and the parliamentary faction." Annick asked curiously.
"I don't know, why don't you tell us?"
"You probably fell asleep during the history class. Do you think that the royal family's current situation of not intervening in politics on the surface means that His Majesty the King is a false king? Could it be that the royal family did this voluntarily?"
Merlin shook his head and said.
"The history books only write about the Glorious Revolution, and the details are not written so carefully, but it is obvious that the current situation of the royal family was caused by force."
Annick smiled and nodded, and then wrote the word "Physical Virtual Master" on the blackboard.
"More than two hundred years ago, we had a tyrant. He raised taxes across the country and wanted to take back the rights and land of the great nobles for the Thousand Years War. In the end, he was overthrown by the nobles collectively, and his head was chopped off, right?"
Norbert answered matter-of-factly: "Yes, that's why there is a parliament."
"Later, the Lord Protector could not control the country. In the end, the royal family and the Parliament reached a compromise. The royal family continued to be the head of state, while the head of government was handed over to the Parliament. In this way, the governing power and legislation were controlled by the Parliament.
Naturally, the royal family had to add sand to the army. In this way, the army that was loyal to the royal family in the previous civil wars formed today's royal faction, which advocates loyalty to the king.
First, loyalty to the king comes before the country.”
Annick continued to draw an arrow on the blackboard for the royal family, with the words "King" underneath, and then continued to write "conservatism and morale".
"The views of the royalists are naturally consistent with those of the conservatives. They believe that the outcome of the war depends on the quality of the people. They maintain high morale and are not afraid of sacrifice. They believe that spiritual strength is the outcome of the war. They advocate the establishment of a military force with the number of people comparable to the Kingdom of Biff.
A standing army of millions, relying on sheer numbers to overwhelm the opponent."
When Norbert heard this, he looked disdainfully.
"What kind of bullshit theory is this? No matter how strong your mental strength is, how can you withstand a bomb? When I create super powerful rune bombs, one of which can wipe out an entire army, I don't believe the opponent can still collapse."
Your idea of requiring nuclear deterrence and nuclear balance is out of line for this era. Annick complained inwardly, and then ignored him.
"Putting aside whether it is true or not, the morale of the army is indeed very important. The leader of the royal family is naturally the nominal supreme leader of the army, the Commander-in-Chief, our king's younger brother, Prince Ryan. But this Commander-in-Chief is just a false position, commanding
He is not involved in the army. His other position is that the King is the President of the Senate, and he can command the Internal Guards and the Guards. Therefore, most of the officers sent by the royal family serve in this system."
Matthew felt a little dizzy and asked.
"Senior, can you give me a simple example? Those are members of the royal family. I don't quite understand what you are saying."
"It's very simple. Our local garrison, including the city defense army, the Royal Guard, and the field troops with the title of Guards, are mostly led by royalists. The royalist officer we are most familiar with is General Granger."
After Annick finished speaking, he wrote the composition next to the royal faction, marking the city defense army, royal guard, and personal guard.
"Then the rest are all parliamentarians?" Norbert asked.
"Naturally, after all, the troops that supported the parliament were not eliminated. After the parliament and the royal family reached an agreement, they were restructured into colonial dispatch troops, including our colonies in the north and south continents, as well as the sheltered islands that have been turned into mainland
The city defense troops in the city are all of the parliamentary faction. As well as the field troops stationed in the mainland, there are no guards titles. As for the parliamentary faction, I think about it, before my father transferred to the navy in his early years, based on the troops he served, he should be classified as
Parliamentary faction."
"The parliamentary faction is opposed to the royal faction. They advocate military innovation and advanced weapons are the speed of sound that determines the outcome of a war. They hope to build a small and powerful force. They directly use cannons before the handover between the two sides.
, fry the other side into powder."
When Norbert heard this, he continued his speech.
"I think the parliamentarians are a little ahead, but it still doesn't work. They should use airships to drop bombs directly on the enemy's capital, industrial areas, roads and bridges, blow up their kings and factories, and then they can naturally win."
