C1083 United Kingdom (2/2)
But that was no longer important, and all attention was drawn to the word United Kingdom.
No matter what kind of country the United Kingdom was crowned with, it was all fake. Only these four words were true, and it could be said that this was the structure of a government that was closest to the Chinese people in the nineteenth century.
First of all, at that time, the people still accepted the concept of hierarchy. The proletarian revolution didn't engulf the entire world, the people accepted the rule of hierarchy from the bottom of their hearts, the commoners bowed to the nobles, and the nobles had a certain amount of privileges, which wouldn't arouse the displeasure of society.
On the contrary, it was an effective promotion mechanism that allowed everyone to clearly see the path upwards. People knew what they had to do to raise their status to that noble class. That was the most important!
A kingdom is a kingdom. If you really make a system of complete equality, the Chinese of the class will lose their way and become confused.
If the Prime Minister had already abolished the title of Emperor, then what was the difference between a king and a king? If the kings did not recognize the alliance, if the Eastern King insisted on ruling the Western King, and if the Southern King did not agree with the Northern King, wouldn't society return to the old path of centralization?
The Ryukyu who was gradually opening up his mind had already realized the harm done to the Emperor's centralized state like the Great Qing. This was because the ruler, in order to gain power over his country, could very possibly suppress the increase in his productivity.
This was not a joke. For the sake of their own stability, the Manchu emperors could outlaw the manufacture of firearms. Even within the army of the Qing Dynasty, the use of crossbows was prohibited.
Because muskets and crossbows were the nemesis of the cavalry, the most fearsome weapon for rebellion.
If we do not want a centralized power, and an absolutely equal society is unrealistic, then the concept of the United Kingdom is also very good! Especially now, in England. Wasn't that the United Kingdom? Look at how well they did it!
The absolute higher-ups around Xiao Letian had their minds in turmoil, thinking, ”Sooner or later, the Far East will be established, and the brave army led by the Dragon Lord will be the rudiments of the future army of the Far East … A migration tide has already appeared in Tahiti, that huge group of islands spans across the South Pacific, and there is no problem at all in forming three or four archipelago kingdoms! ”
”There is also the Ikek region of the South America. Although it was initially an autonomous territory of the Chinese people, there is still a possibility for it to become independent in the future! When the future Chinese population of the Ikek exceeds a million, anything will be possible! ”
Xiao Letian's four great heavenly kings thought even further. They were Xiao Letian's absolute trusted aides, and knew even more secret information. They were very clear about Xiao Letian's position in the Southern Ocean.
What was CIA doing in Brunei? Why did the Boss Mi s risk their lives to buy land and expand their farms? Was the land really for the crops?
The most resource-rich areas of Southeast Asia in the future would definitely be independent from the European colonists. Of course, the sovereignty of the country would not be given to the indigenous people after independence.
Xiao Hexin's heart suddenly thumped, ”I understand, the Prime Minister wants to establish a Chinese United Kingdom around the Pacific Ocean! ”Amazing, truly amazing, no wonder the Prime Minister has always given his military spending to the navy, no wonder the number of troops has always been suppressed, so this is where the root of all this lies …”
”But what about the continent opposite us? ~ Does Great Qing want to give up? This system in the United Kingdom cannot be applied to the mainland! ”
Doubt was brewing in many people's hearts.
