"Hey, how come this new-style warship doesn't have sails. And, look, it's still smoking, is it on fire?" A South Korean businessman asked others curiously, seeing his country. The warships of Japan are naturally very kind. After all, this kind of intimacy is a sense of security. However, this sense of security is quickly being blown up by the thick smoke that makes them feel uneasy, because there is no sail. It shows that the ship cannot be very big and smoke at the same time. Is this dangerous? The businessman was so worried.

"This is a new battleship. It has a large tonnage and is very fast, capable of carrying more powerful artillery." A young Korean man explained. He is more concerned about new content in newspapers, while businessmen are more sensitive to commercial information, and they don't know about the military.

"Oh. That's the way it is. In this way, the strength of our South Korean army must be concentrated here?" the businessman asked.

"Yes, that's it. It would be great for the army to come here. Didn't you see? Chu's army is here. It means that our government can no longer tolerate such things." The young man said.

"Okay. That's it." said the businessman. Just yesterday, a lot of Chu army landed here. It is said that this was invited by the South Korean government. After they came here, they quickly established a defensive position. Today, they dispatched two battalions of troops to advance, and then set up a forward base. Obviously, the Chu people are Do everything step by step. There is no alternative. After all, the people of Chu were all infantry, artillery, and cavalry. Yes, some bad horses were recruited locally. Such horses would not get much help at all.

Regardless of the tactics of the Chu people, in short, the government has already expressed an attitude, which is that they will never give up here. Moreover, they have to further expand the influence of things. Solve such things thoroughly.

Chu State, Pengcheng.

"If you elect Mr. Huang, you will get a barrel of oil for every vote. Use the oil well, use it quickly," a young man shouted loudly. The people in the underground are crowded with two ballots in their hands, one red and one white. The white foundation, the red one needs to be put into the ballot box, and as long as they come here with the white ballot, they can get a bucket of good cooking oil. This temptation is not small.

"Oh, you can't do this. Mr. Lee over there gave a bag of rice and a barrel of oil. If the family voted a lot, tea and silk would be returned." A man shouted loudly. Hearing this, many people quickly left here, and they ran to Mr. Lee's side.

"Hey, come back, come back. We also give it, not only for rice, for tea, but for sugar." The young man shouted loudly. However, only a few people came back in time, and the others went to vote.

This is the case of the election of the members of the Chu state. A large number of nobles in the Chu state entered the parliament. They control the legislative power of this country. With the legislative power, they can quickly change some rules that are beneficial to them, such as the use of child labor, working hours restrictions, and minimum wages. These are of great benefits to them.

For example, this Member Huang is a member of a huge family with the surname Huang. In order to keep this Member, Mr Huang had to show up to run for elections, not only that, but in order to get more votes. Because the members are directly elected. These are all ideas that Fan Zeng came up with. Because he wants the support of parliamentarians. After all, the times have changed drastically, and some members of the parliamentary family are left behind. They are unable to continue to obtain the position of members, but they need elections to get it. Their only way is to bribe, or to take some improper methods to do so.

Some members are family members, because they still have a younger generation of family interests that need to be maintained. This requires them to continue to maintain the number of family members. Many outstanding young people in the family participate in politics and they come out to run for members. Because the positions of members are very limited. It is unlikely that they will occupy all of them, and it is impossible that none of them will be elected. The number of members represents the strength of their family.

However, for members of the House of Commons, there are some people who run for it, but it is not very fierce, because the House of Commons is mainly concentrated in the hands of businessmen and entrepreneurs. They can only enter by paying a lot of taxes and generating more economic benefits, and the entry of nobles means that they have to pay more taxes. This is something they cannot tolerate, and the House of Commons does not have many jurisdictions. They have the right to make proposals, with this right, part of the veto power. In this way, it is not as important as the House of Lords.

In order to obtain the position of councillors, various families have opened up various methods, but these methods are all messed up. From the beginning of the normal elections, they kept propagating in major newspapers, and they occupied a large area of ​​the headlines of the newspapers. Later, they also learned from the people of Qin, printing and distributing a large number of leaflets, but this caused the election results. Not very good. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, in elections, they can only elect some young aristocrats. This has little direct interest in them. Newspapers are distributed free of charge. At most, some toilet paper and some parcels are left.

Seeing that the effect of such propaganda was poor, some congressmen took extreme measures to bribe the election. They threw out a large amount of money to directly buy votes, but this method was quickly reported by the newspapers. This is because some opponents think such competition is unfair. After all, there are some big bankers who are running for parliamentary support, and the Fan Zeng government is unwilling to see such a situation happen. Under such circumstances, they took another approach. The rice noodles, oil, sugar, and even the salt were sent out.

In order to get the position of councillors, the nobles went crazy and took other measures, such as giving certain shopping vouchers, as long as they elected them, they would give them shopping vouchers, buy what they need, all discounts, discounts The intensity is still very large. This time also stimulated Chu's economic production. But such an election is not justified after all.

"If this continues, our parliament might as well dissolve it altogether." Chen Ping said as he walked all the way. What he saw was that it was not just Pengcheng, but other states did the same. After all, there were also changes in local councilors.

"I can't help it. The situation is just such a situation." Fan Zeng said helplessly.

"Well, let's do it. I think we should put a large number of parliamentarians outside, if they can make a great contribution there, it will be of great benefit to us." Chen Ping at this time Put the idea on the overseas colonial states. After all, there are seats for parliamentarians. However, there are not many people competing for such positions. One is because of the small population. However, the local economic development is single, and many people are unwilling to invest there. After all, it takes a lot of money to develop a colony.

"Well. Good way, we are still not enough for the development of colonies. In many places, only agricultural economic parks have appeared, but the local mineral development and the development of various economies are not very big. The market is extremely small. This is for us. The economic development of China is also extremely unfavorable." Fan Zeng said.

"Your suggestion is very good. I think it can. In addition, we can appropriately increase the seats of some parliamentarians. After all, the number of members is too small. Our population and land base are constantly increasing. If this continues, competition will Very fierce. If we can increase such positions, it would be good, but these positions cannot be increased in vain. We need to put all these positions on overseas colonies, so that we can get more young parliamentarians in the area. Going there, they have experience in politics and can also attract investment. It is a very beneficial thing for us. I think it can be done. Let them do it." Fan Zeng said. To.

"In that case, that's great. This is great news for us, and the investment issue is solved." Chen Ping said with a smile. Chu's investment in overseas colonies is not very large, mainly because of its low interest, because even if there are mineral resources in the local area, it needs great development. Development requires investment. In addition to the long distance, many people are interested in it. Not very big because the risk is still relatively big. At this time, if investment can bring great political returns, he thinks that such conditions can still attract a considerable number of people to participate. After all, such things are not uncommon.

Dawan, in Meng Tian's headquarters. Meng Tian felt a headache. The headache is that Dawan’s domestic politics has undergone great changes, and the continuous war has severely affected the development of Dawan’s economy. Dawan’s fiscal revenue has rapidly decreased by less than 30% of the previous month. Instead of importing some slaves from the South, he thought, it is very likely that the other party will lose more. Therefore, the Dawan parliamentarians are extremely dissatisfied with the government. They believe that the government has too much power and they need to restore the economy. They have passed an emergency bill, which mainly monitors government expenditures to limit government expenditures. Happening. After all, Dawan has already faced a big deficit.

The Dawan government and the congressmen had a quarrel, but Meng Tian knew that he had to solve the situation of the rest of the people in the encirclement as soon as possible. Once an uncontrollable situation occurred, it would be a huge disaster for them.

"Sir, I think what the captive said can be believed." An intelligence officer said.

"The rest are worried about their lives, so they have to accept such things. If we can guarantee their lives, I think the situation will be extremely beneficial to us, and we can resolve the battle outside the Golden City of Rest. "The staff officer said.

"You are right, but the crux of the problem is not the military issue, but the politics, both of you and I know that political matters have become extremely unclear." Meng Tian said.

"We still need a lot of military power to do such things. Military problems are easy to solve. However, political needs, they are prisoners of rest in peace, the attitude of the Dawan people, I think you also understand that they have lost a lot, if they don’t If we agree, we won't work either." Meng Tian said.

"Sir, I think this is a political issue, and we should leave it to the Prime Minister's Office to solve it. My idea is this." The staff officer said.

"If these captives can bring great economic benefits, it may be of great help to Dawan's economy, I think they will accept it. In addition, considering that we need to expand, we need a lot of troops. If we can It is also very beneficial to us to accept these Shabbats and form a Shabbat army for external expansion." The staff member tried his best to say something.

"I understand. You draw up your ideas into a report and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see if the Prime Minister's Mansion can do such a thing." Meng Tian immediately understood the idea of ​​the staff after listening. So that's it.

"Yes, sir, I understand. I'll do it now." The other party said.

The Palace of the Prime Minister of the State of Qin. Inside Shang Wen's office.

"For my opinion on this matter, I think it is necessary to try to persuade the Dawan government to accept such a thing. After all, hatred is difficult to eliminate." Meng Yi looked at Shangwen and said.

"Yeah. My opinion is the same, but no matter how big the hatred is, if there is enough economic interest, I think the problem is not too big. After all, both sides have room for negotiation, and at present, if we and If the Shah people go to war, they will need to spend more material reserves and more soldiers. If it is consumed for a long time, it will be a big blow to the economy of the Dawan people, according to our intelligence department's estimation." Looked at Shang Wen and said.

"Only less than one-third of their economic production has recovered. Many mining areas are waiting to be developed. They need more labor. In addition, Meng Tian is also right. We need to expand abroad, maybe we need to build a sabbath army. In this case, we will not lose a lot of foreign expansion, besides, rest in peace, this country no longer exists. They have no meaning to exist. They are a group of outcasts without a country." Wei Liao said.

Shang Wen nodded. He agreed with Wei Liao's view. To be honest, Shang Wen didn't want to invest Qin's military power into too much expansion, because it would cost a lot of troops and put a heavy burden on finances. Qin's economy needs a lot of people, but the lack of labor is a problem. If more people are deployed to fight, there will only be greater losses. Anyway, there are more foreign legions in Qin, so he doesn't care about these. .

"However, if you do this, how will the Dawan government respond?" Meng Yi asked.

"Maybe we just have to convince the government or the parliament. For specific things, I think they will consider themselves. Our current strength cannot eat most of those under siege. They insist on resisting to the end. This is the point. We all have a very clear understanding. Dawan people will also realize this. In order to avoid more losses, the only acceptable way is this." Shangwen said.

"Well, we can only persuade each other as much as possible." Meng Yi nodded helplessly. For a country to give up its hatred, perhaps there is only interest. But hatred does not mean that you can give up if you give up. If the people of Dawan were very stubborn, what would happen to them, and they would have no way to solve such problems.

Love couple.
