Face Slapping the General

For the next six months, the situation is still relatively difficult.

However, compared to when Sean just died, there has been a very big improvement.

Relying on several elite troops borrowed from Tan Yanna, as well as further adaptation to the new role, Dai Lun's winning rate was not a little bit higher than at the beginning, and his victory and defeat were almost equally divided.

Tan Yan also won and lost.

Wuqiao's reputation is getting bigger and bigger.

He is the only commander who has never lost.

All of the regional battles he was responsible for successfully achieved the original goals. More and more people are looking forward to him. Some guys who claim to be military skills have deified her.

At the same time, Ya Jiu has also become a miracle mech. It is getting more and more powerful. Many people regret that Ya Jiu was stupid and rejected it when he was looking for a driver.

"You have won 29 consecutive games since you were promoted to brigadier general." Tan Yan said to Wu Qiao in the newsletter.

"Huh?" Wu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, "There are so many?"

"Correct."

"How did you know?" Wu Qiao didn't know it himself.

Tan Yan said: "I will count for you-I will keep in mind the process and the outcome of each time for you."

"Tan Yan..."

"My highest winning streak is only half of yours."

"That," Wu Qiao didn't think he was better than the general, "I'm just lucky."

Tan Yan smiled: "You are indeed lucky."

"..."

Tan Yan said over there again: "I have waited for you for ten years, and as soon as you entered your genes, you were worthy of me."

"Hey..." Wu Qiao thought: But you rejected me!

"Wu Qiao," Tan Yan said again, "Let's exchange diaries."

"Hey?" Wu Qiao was surprised, "Do you also have a diary?"

"No."

Wu Qiao: "..." Isn't this handing over the diary unilaterally? Wu Qiao felt that he was not that easy to deceive.

"But," Tan Yan said again, "I have an album."

"Everyone has an album."

"No," Tan Yan said, "It's an album that I will leave specifically for the other half in the future."

"...?" Who is this thing for? Wu Qiao imagined the naming of albums in Tan Yan's computer: "For father", "For mother", "For future lovers", "For superiors", "For subordinates" ...Suddenly felt a little messy.

"Yes." Tan Yan explained a bit awkwardly, "I...in the past ten years, whenever I went to a place, I would take a photo, save it in the album, and plan to show it to that person in the future. Let him know, because He hasn’t appeared yet. I’ve been alone for ten years, went to these places alone, and experienced these things alone. I also want to let him know how I was before he appeared. I’m not the beginning of the fight. It’s like this, because many, many things have made me who I am now, so I think he will want to understand my past and what it is that makes me gradually become his favorite now. Looks like."

"I..." Wu Qiao was a little guilty, because he hadn't asked. However, there is a reason for this... Wu Qiao said, "I'm not sure you want me to see you in a young period." After all, Tan Yan is a very proud person.

"will not."

"I..." Wu Qiao said, "After we were together, I searched for news about you everywhere, and kept them carefully in chronological order." He used to work hard to check his experiences and anecdotes, which is definitely not limited. In the famous game on the battlefield, I hope that I can feel the traces of Tan Yan's journey along the way.

"Then I will show you more things now." After speaking, Tan Yan shared an album with him.

Wu Qiao looked at them one by one. In these photos, sometimes Tan Yan is alone, and sometimes there are friends around him. When I was in the military school, I took a little bit more photos, and then there were fewer and fewer photos. I think as the war progressed, I didn't have time to visit many places. In Tan Yan ten years ago, his eyes were shining, and he was less stable and more arrogant than he is now.

"..." Wu Qiao sighed and said, "Tan Yan."

"Ok?"

"When the war is over, I will accompany you again."

"..."

"In every same place, I will accompany you and take another photo with the same pose, okay?"

"..."

"Even the distance and angle are all the same."

Tan Yan smiled at this moment: "Of course it's good." He didn't expect that Wu Qiao would suddenly have some romantic cells.

"Should I share my diary too?" Wu Qiao asked.

"whatever."

Wu Qiao thought for a while: "Then I will show it to you, but only for you." His diaries are full of rhetoric, and there is really one thing...not suitable for being published.

However, there are no secrets in front of the other party, and there is nothing that the other party cannot know.

"Speaking of photos," Tan Yan said again, "When I cleared Long Yuan's data on a regular basis yesterday, I found that Ya Jiu had sent a lot of photos to him."

"... Ya Jiu gave Long Yuan his own picture?"

"Correct."

"..." A mecha, take pictures too?

"Moreover, the photos have all been repaired."

"what?"

"Fix it to sparkle and wipe away all the scratches."

"..."

"I also added a few special fake reflections on the metal edge, the kind in the advertisement."

"..."

"It can be bright like that, it's not metal at all, it can only be a mirror."

"Hey……"

"Long Yuan didn't satirize it, I really don't understand Long Yuan."

"You don't care about the two of them."

"Why is it so like a girl?"

"..." Thinking of the conversation just now, Wu Qiao wanted to say "the girl without you", but he still held back abruptly.

"That's right..." Wu Qiao asked Tan Yan again, "I heard people say that the anti-government forces in various places are becoming more and more powerful. In the end, what will happen to...?"

The situation is deteriorating. Many people believe that the emperor is incompetent. Coupled with a series of new government policies, such as forced conscription, such as the punishment of family members of captured soldiers, many people are increasingly disgusted with such arbitrary actions. In fact, since the establishment of the monarchy, the voice of opposition has never ceased, but the past situation is not enough to make many people determined to overthrow the monarchy. Now, organizations that promise to make people’s lives better and religions that promote freedom have gained a lot of attention and support.

Tan Yan smiled helplessly: "I can't predict, I can only wait for development." In his opinion, the empire has gradually begun to collapse from within, and Xiao En's death has only accelerated this process at best. That's it.

The result of "waiting" can be said to be good.

Four months later, under the impetus of the emperor's two counsellors, the emperor made a compromise and decided to establish a parliament and conduct a nationwide election of members. Since then, the parliament has the legislative power, but the emperor has the power to decide whether to legislate. The main decrees must be signed by it, and the imperial power is still maintained.

Most anti-government forces accepted this effort made by the emperor and put forward a list of candidates who will participate in the competition for parliamentary seats.

Another two weeks later, the candidate list was announced.

The people discovered that this was actually a competition between the old and new forces.

The list of candidates for the assembly can be roughly divided into two factions-the imperial nobles and party members representing the imperial power and the current government, as well as their advisers, and the educated, critical and rebellious spirits who want to make changes fiercely. The intellectual world.

Because things were relatively sudden, the election of members of this session did not adopt universal suffrage, but made some restrictions. For example, the election site only included the top ten planets in the empire, and the age range and jobs of voters were delineated in detail. The number of years, and if you want to become a voter to participate in the election, you must pay a relatively high fee.

In fact, this move excluded the most difficult people in the empire.

But anyway, this is always a good thing.

In those two months, people's eyes seemed to have shifted to this matter, and even the situation of the battle was somewhat ignored.

Everyone is waiting to witness an unprecedented change-this is the first time a parliament has been formed since the establishment of the empire's monarchy.

Everyone is thinking: what will change after the establishment of the parliament?

"The emperor will no longer be dictatorial." Wu Qiao heard someone say this, "Major events must go through the parliament."

However, reality gave the imperial people a resounding slap.

In Ji Yao's words, "it was completely manipulated by the emperor."

One and a half months after the announcement of the candidate list, under strict supervision, all votes were counted.

Due to the high threshold set for voters, voters present three distinct factions-aristocrats who try to protect vested interests, intellectuals who are concerned about the country and the people, and economically high-yielding intellectuals, and wealthy business circles.

In this election, the performance of the business community was disappointing.

The high-ranking intellectuals failed to catch them, but were completely used by the old bureaucrats.

Governments and businessmen have always been entangled with each other. Before this election, the relationship between the nobility and the business community was also intertwined. Many nobles have invested in businessmen's companies, and many businessmen are being sheltered by nobles. "Relying on officials" seems to be a deeply rooted concept in many businessmen's hearts. In addition, many aristocrats brazenly bribed or lured voters from the business community with generous benefits, promising to take care of them as long as they are elected, and some businessmen, just like the "silent spiral" said, Originally, I wanted to vote for candidates from the intellectual field, but because I believed that the nobility would undoubtedly win, I chose to follow the crowd and hid my views.

In the end, the vote, which was supposed to be full of suspense, collapsed like an avalanche.

There are a total of 293 seats in the parliament. The nobles representing the imperial power have 210 seats, the intellectuals have 48 seats, and other factions have 35 seats.

The parliament was firmly in the hands of the nobility.

At this point, a reform that could change the fate of the empire officially came to a close.

In terms of numbers, if the business community can form an alliance with the intellectual world, it may be able to compete desperately against the aristocracy.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

Soon, the business community paid a heavy price for their short-sightedness.
