Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 664: Stability of Triangle

If Perfect knew what those old aides said to Princess Anne, he would probably laugh out loud.

She didn't really think about it that much.

The reason why she implemented the prime minister cabinet system in the empire was simply because she thought the administrative efficiency of the empire was too low, and the aristocratic parliament really disgusted her.

Of course, there are certainly considerations of political balance, but they are not as in-depth as the old staff think.

For Perfecto, she prefers the political structure of the original world, which is composed of restricted power.

As for the centralized monarchy? If it were her, that would be fine. It would even be great!
Is there anyone more suitable to be a dictator than the philosopher king who is known for his perfection?
The biggest problem with dictatorship is that there is no guarantee that the dictator is a qualified monarch. If the person sitting in that position is a wise king, the dictatorship can maximize his abilities and achieve extremely high administrative efficiency.

Just like Perfecto herself, as a dictator, she has a vision that transcends her time, talents that far surpass those of mediocre people, and skills that would impress even geniuses.

A time traveler who possesses a magical weapon and is also an alchemical life form that is approaching perfection. If the Philosopher King has standards, then Perfecto must meet all the requirements perfectly.

But if the one sitting on top is a tyrant? Sorry, the whole country will be ruined by him.

Therefore, the upper limit of dictatorship is very high, but the lower limit is also very low, and mediocre people cannot control dictatorship at all.

Their talents are not enough for their positions, and supreme power often makes them inflated and think themselves great.

But the fact is that they are just mediocre and have no self-awareness.

Dictatorship has so many problems, so does democracy have no problems?
The answer is obviously no. Just take a look at what kind of abstract things those so-called democratic countries in the original world can come up with, and you will know how devastating democracy is.

But democracy has an advantage that dictatorship cannot match, which is that at least it can ensure that the person sitting on the stage is not a fool who holds enormous power.

The advantage of democratic elections is that those who are elected have some ability and brains. Although there are many anthropomorphic and abstract things, at least a lower limit can be guaranteed.

Perhaps some people would think that the abstract politicians in the original world can be called the lowest level? They are even worse than a dictatorial king!
But in fact, one of the main reasons why those abstract things in the original world came to power was the end of the Cold War.

Although there were some more abstract things that could be selected during the Cold War, overall everyone remained above a relatively capable baseline.

After all, in an era of confrontation between two major camps, if you are not good enough, you will really be ridden on the face and beaten by the other side.

So this brings up another key point, which is competition.

Ancient Eastern wisdom says: If you have no rules at home and no rules for your people, and no enemies outside and no external enemies, your country will always perish. Then you will know that we are born in sorrow and die in comfort.

Having a competitor who can be regarded as a strong enemy is the key to your continuous improvement and strengthening.

If your competitor is too weak and cannot bring you enough threat and tension, you obviously won't be motivated to constantly improve yourself. So for Perfect, she prefers someone who can compete with her or bring enough pressure to herself so that she can constantly improve herself.

Otherwise, even she would gradually become lazy in an environment without rivals and competitive pressure.

Of course, if there is only competition between the Northern Faction and the Royalists, it will gradually turn into a situation of competition for worse, like the battle between the beautiful donkeys and elephants in the original world.

However, Perfect was not worried about this, because the existence of the dominion happened to be an additional factor to stimulate positive growth for both sides.

Even though the Dominion and the North are united now, it's just that the Dominion's political capital is not strong enough, and the representative they put forward, Kallen, is too young and does not have enough qualifications.

When this prime minister's term ends, Kallen, who has already served as deputy prime minister, and the politicians trained in the dominions will become a new political force.

Moreover, with the Dominion as its base and the natural support it can gain from the working class, it is conceivable that the Workers' Union will grow quickly and become a political force that can confront the North.

Yes, according to Perfectoct's prediction, the Northerners and the Workers' Union were the real opponents, while the Royalists were the weakest of the three forces.

Although she has also considered strengthening this force, at present the opposition formed by the royalists and some forces against the North is still strong enough. At least in the cabinet, they can still fight back against the alliance between the North and the Dominions.

This made Perfecto hesitate whether to strengthen the power of the royalists. After all, it would be troublesome if the royalists became too powerful or dominated by one party.

However, after careful consideration, Perfect felt that it was still necessary to provide the royalists with a solid foundation. After all, the nobles and the royalists were so powerful now because they still had the support of the family assets brought from Langton and the empire.

Once the foundation of these nobles is exhausted, they will also decline.

If there is not enough interest support at this time to allow them to develop as a force, then there will be no place for them in Victoria's political landscape in the future.

Therefore, Perfect left enough space for them in the first phase of economic development plan.

As for whether they can seize the opportunity, Perfect doesn't care. In her plans for the future, there is no place for waste.

And to be honest, Perfect felt that he had already fed them.

Before she had the idea of ​​formulating an economic development plan, she had already revealed the news about the construction of supporting projects for flying battleships to the nobles of Beloberg, and she also went to great lengths to open up connections for them within the empire and obtain policies and orders.

If those useless guys can't handle all this and build a base for themselves, then Perfect thinks they should stay out of politics. Such useless guys can easily be played to death.

Of course, judging from the current feedback, they are not really that wasteful.

Many nobles have already begun to use various means to find connections, collude, and even formed interest groups, trying to get a piece of the pie from the entire airship project.
