Chapter 689 Impeachment

With Perfect's deliberate connivance, those who advocated limiting Perfect's power were not stopped.

They even submitted an impeachment motion to the National Assembly, demanding a vote on limiting the power of the Northern lords.

If this impeachment is passed, it means that the power of the Northern Lords will be restricted, and Perfect can no longer do anything without the permission of the National Assembly. All policies in the North must be under the supervision of the National Assembly, and the implementation of all policies must be approved by the National Assembly.

This proposal is actually a good thing from a national perspective.

Bringing local power back to the central government, enhancing the prestige and authority of the national center, and avoiding multiple policies and political struggles between the central and local governments is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

But from the perspective of the North and Perfectoct, things are not so good.

The North is Perfecto's fiefdom, and it was also a territory she opened up. She almost saved the entire country single-handedly, which resulted in the North's current transcendent status and political independence in Victoria's political arena.

Even the entire National Assembly system and the cabinet system were established under the promotion of Perfecto, but now these things she established are being used to limit her power. This has to be said to be a kind of black humor.

Of course, for Perfect herself, this was indeed seen as a joke.

Because without Perfecto's permission, there would be no proposal at all; without her permission, these people would not be able to make inflammatory speeches.

Without Perfecto's permission, these people would not have been able to enter the National Assembly building. Instead, they would have shot themselves eight times in the back and were held accountable for treason after their death.

It is so exaggerated, or rather, the support that Perfectoct receives in Victoria today is so outrageously high.

These young people who are trying to limit Perfecto's power and promote constitutional reforms in the country may think that Perfecto is a dictator, a conservative diehard of the feudal system, and the biggest enemy of freedom and progress.

However, they did not think about why Perfect had such a high support rate in the North.

They never tried to understand why Perfect had gained widespread support from the people of the North, including workers, small businessmen, big capitalists, nobles, and even the royal family itself.

These naive and simple people simply believed that as long as they replaced the constitutional system that symbolized freedom and democracy and carried out so-called progressive reforms, they would be able to make the country better and make everyone prosperous.

The reason why Perfect has such a high support rate is only because she holds power, controls the army, and oppresses the people, forcing them to support her.

As long as her power is restricted and she can no longer oppress the people, the people will inevitably stand up against her.

However, in reality, the answer is often contrary to what they think.

Because the relationship between the support of the people and the power she possessed was the opposite of what they thought. She first gained support and then power, rather than gaining support after she had power.

The reason why she gained support was not because she was a noble or had a good relationship with the royal family. Although these factors had a certain influence, the fundamental reason why Perfect was able to become the Lord of the North was that she was the only one who could save the Victoria Empire at that time.

Everyone has witnessed the power of the doomsday winter. For the people at the bottom of society, they simply realize that it is the shelter built by the northern lord Perfecto in the north that ensures their survival, allowing them to have food to eat and clothes to wear in this doomsday winter, and to have a warm home so as not to freeze to death or be treated like livestock.

It is precisely because of this that the people, nobles and capitalists in the North are so unanimous in supporting Perfectot.

Even though she adopted a high-pressure, dictatorial policy to rule the North, and even though she wantonly massacred those who opposed her, the people still supported her rule.

On the contrary, if she cannot feed the people, even if Perfect is as morally upright as a saint and firmly implements freedom and democracy, she will still not get anyone's support and may even be killed by the so-called democracy.

The reason behind this is very simple, because what the people want is not some empty and frivolous freedom and democracy, what they want is real bread and real houses.

Without bread and housing, it is empty talk about freedom and democracy. Should we also follow what some unknown person in the original world said: "Although they lost their lives and homes, they gained freedom"?
Perfect didn't think that the people in the North would listen to such nonsense, nor did he think that the members of the National Assembly who were now sitting in the National Assembly building and participating in the vote were also not in their right minds.

On the rostrum, the Duke of Gloucester patiently listened to the speech of the member of parliament who initiated the impeachment. Even though the other party extended the original five-minute speech to nearly half an hour, it was difficult for him to object since Perfecto himself was listening with gusto.

After the other party finally finished his empty speech that repeatedly emphasized "freedom and democracy", the Duke of Gloucester could not wait to announce the start of the vote: "Please vote, members of the National Assembly! Should the National Assembly pass this impeachment case against the Earl of the North?"

The congressman who initiated the impeachment looked at everyone expectantly. Even at this moment, he did not forget to incite others: "Everyone! Think about the voters who elected you! They will not want to see you succumb to dictatorship! You symbolize freedom and democracy! Please cast your sacred vote for freedom and democracy!"

Listening to this man's speech, Perfecto almost laughed out loud while sitting in the audience.

He just talks about freedom and democracy without any practical content. If these congressmen believe him and pass the impeachment bill, it may be the most entertaining thing that Perfectoct has heard today.

However, she didn't seem to want to see this kind of fun. After all, if this impeachment case really passed, it would still be troublesome to deal with.

Therefore, before the vote began, Perfect interrupted and said, "If my legal rights as a lord of the northern territory are infringed, I will revoke all my patented technology licenses within the empire."

"You are interfering with freedom and democracy! Free people will not be threatened by you! Everything you do is just a last-ditch struggle!" The other party obviously did not understand the meaning of Perfectot's words and was still shouting loudly.

"Silence! Silence!" The Duke of Gloucester, as the Speaker, knocked on the table and did not announce the start of the vote until order was restored in the meeting hall.
