Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

That is to say, taking into account the personal lower limit, at least the legislative power should be removed from his hands... and even better, the judicial power should be removed, which would be safer.

In this case, the monarch should also have a special advisory group around him to help him handle government affairs, in order to cater to the previous idea of ​​​​professional personnel handling professional matters (you can understand the early constitutional monarchy in modern Britain, when the monarch There is still considerable power to dismiss the prime minister at will.) - Well, some people may think that the Supreme Council is no different, but in fact, because these think tanks do not have the power to participate in politics and make decisions like the parliament, they only serve as the monarch. A team of assistants who prefer privacy can sometimes avoid the expansion of many problems caused by power.

In a sense, the methods Cromwell and the others were discussing had some similarities with the structure of the future British system that Oswald had actually planned in his mind.It's just that his plan will be more suitable for the first 200 or even 400 years of Britain's founding (depending on the life span). After that, this approach may be more appropriate... Well, let's include this in the filling first, and then we can Keep adjusting.Ozwald thought so.

——By the way, Miss Charlotte denies Terra’s relatively traditional blood-based monarchy, and supports the relatively more progressive monarchy, civil authority.

In Cambridge, the forefront of Victoria's cultural and ideological trends.Her thoughts oscillate between enlightened despotism and republicanism; just like her previous "Bobo Killing" declaration that almost frightened Ozwald, Charlotte was once a rather radical holder of republican ideas. , for this reason, the relationship with his father and Victoria's leading knight brother was very bad.

However, after being severely beaten by reality, she had no choice but to give up that slightly unrealistic idea and changed to a monarchy that was somewhat similar to Cromwell.

Because complete republican freedom can also lead to complete mobs, just like what the Victorians did to the people of Tara in Hill County, in order to prevent this situation from happening again, a king is still needed to act as a brake and make Sometimes, although it is not in line with the wishes of the people, it is a correct and wise decision for the situation at that time.Although we follow the will of the people...but sometimes the general public who have never participated in management experience and have the skills to govern are not correct on specific issues. The increase in the number of people will only lead to blind obedience. effect.

Perhaps people's standards of justice will be skewed to a certain extent due to changes in the times and growth of thought.

But truth, after all, is something that can only be grasped by a few people who are willing to put in the effort and effort.

.................

Great value for money and lots of benefits.

This was the very real feeling that Ozwald had in his heart after attending the salon.

And through this "noisy" academic salon, he realized one thing clearly.

In a sense, these young people, who represent the future of Victoria, can even be said to be elites, are thinking about the current situation and future of a country from their perspective, which is different from the old and conservative old people. view

[In this precarious situation, Victoria is filled with voices seeking change]

ps: By the way, readers and book friends who are not in the group may not know it well, but in fact, I have always positioned Tracy in this book as a bald person (), and he is in the group. Sometimes I always directly become the special committee member or the special committee chairman (Hey), and then there are several times when I compare the life practices of the special committee member and the bald head, such as the bald head digging the garden entrance, the special committee member destroying cards in the civil war. Zdel, this... actually looks quite similar!

So, I have actually thought about it, so that when Tracys is in the decisive battle, he will give an opening meeting to the kings of the royal court and say something, "You Ran remember ↑! I just came to Victoria~" , that realm where all things are vibrant and prosperous is right in front of you; you never thought that after so many years, this place would become our burial place!" "In any case, the Military Commission's response to the Knights of the Round Table, the monarch-level combat effectiveness It’s eight versus six, the advantage is mine!”

he he he he he.

Victoria seeks voice for change: 7 Lords

This academic salon, which had a very intense ideological collision, finally came to an end at nearly [-] o'clock in the evening.

However, after walking out of the banquet hall, Ozwald saw an unexpected acquaintance outside, which made the red dragon who was chatting and laughing with Miss Charlotte about Leitanian music and culture couldn't help but stop. Take your own steps.

It was a blond Felin with a rapier hanging on his left waist.

This time he did not wear the Victorian military uniform that showed his status, but wore light clothing that was more convenient for movement and military life, and had metal protective gear on his shoulder blades and hands; apart from that, he looked like he had just experienced a period of It was because he had traveled a long distance under a tight schedule, and he probably didn't even have enough time to rest and he came here so quickly, he still had the feeling of having traveled a long way, and he lost a lot of weight because of it. They were far less calm and free-spirited than when they first met in Casimir.Of course, overall the spirit is okay.

Needless to say, this is the "owner" who invited the red dragon Ozwald to this place, Alex, the eldest son of the Earl of Cambridge.

"Good evening, Principal Alex."

Although like the red dragon, they didn't expect to see each other here, Charlotte, who came back to her senses, quickly greeted her.

——As the lord of the mobile city of Cambridge, the Earls of Cambridge in the past basically held a part-time job, which can now be regarded as the signature of the territory, as the president of the University of Cambridge.In this way, while having the honor of "all the outstanding students of all generations are my disciples", it will also be more convenient to remit funds to better build Cambridge University, which can be a mutually beneficial thing for both parties.

As for Alex, who has not yet become an earl but is already called a principal, the main reason is because his father is old and he really can't do as many things as he used to do by himself, so he has already put aside the complicated work of managing the school. The work was transferred to his eldest son; on the one hand, it was to share the workload so that the father could devote more energy to the more important and sensitive current situation; on the other hand, it was to allow him to become familiar with the process and gain experience in advance, and wait until he officially After succeeding as the Earl of Cambridge, he will be more at ease and will not be in a hurry.

Therefore, most of the old students from the third year of Cambridge University and up knew Alex, the acting principal, and Charlotte was no exception.

But what caught the imagination was Alex's inadvertent attitude at this moment.

When he saw Oswald coming out of the banquet hall, it could have been said that Alex, who came because of him, was enthusiastic and humble. Alex's face clearly showed surprise when he saw Charlotte smiling beside him.

And when Charlotte took the initiative to greet her; the acting president of the University of Cambridge and the future owner of the mobile city Cambridge... Alex, who theoretically had a higher status, actually cautiously greeted Charlotte, who was just a student. Miss Te returned the greeting, and her handling attitude was not even half-hearted. She regarded both parties as equals... and even preferred to put herself in the inferior position.

Similarly, after the two parties had a brief exchange of greetings, Alex took Lord Drak away, who was invited to Cambridge but had been idle for a long time due to unexpected issues and was finally about to enter the formal body.

After the two of them walked away, she suppressed the polite smile on her face. Miss Charlotte did not immediately walk to her dormitory, but still stood there with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she had witnessed Alex. The earl's son receives Ozwald and is thinking about something.

However, in the end, her frown quickly relaxed, she shook her head with a smile, and walked towards the dormitory with her long legs.

Staying up late is a girl's biggest enemy, isn't it?

"So, based on your observations over the past few days, how do you feel about Kangqiao? Especially after participating in an ideological debate among young people."

While leading the red dragon towards his father's mansion, Alex took the initiative to start a few simple topics to chat with him in order to prevent the red dragon from getting bored while waiting. .

"It's good. It really allowed me to see the part of Cambridge that is worthy of its name as an academic city. Although they are not very old, these young people are really thinking about the future of the country in their own way, and their abilities are quite good. I want to be in the future They will all become good political officers.

In particular, there is a young man among them, whose ideas are very similar to mine, so I may not wait until the Londinium incident stabilizes a little, and I will send him a special OF; I hope that by then Alex The principal can make it happen. "

"You are joking, Your Highness. Cambridge is a place that cultivates and delivers capable talents to the country. Therefore, if you really have this intention, we will only feel that we are asking for it and feel extremely honored. How can we dare to refuse? Where is your intention?" Alex replied righteously: "Your Highness, please tell me the name of that person so that our school can focus on cultivating him in the future so that all his potential can be maximized. He has failed to live up to His Highness’s current respect for him.”

"Haha, let's talk about it then."

Ozwald smiled and left the topic at that.

But then, as he followed Alex down the stairs to the third floor where the servants were no longer visible, the red dragon spoke again.

"Speaking of which, Miss Charlotte, Mr. Alex, she is not an ordinary student."

"Although I don't know her real name, your previous attitude towards her shows that she is special... Is she the child of any duke?"

After all, considering that the Earl of Cambridge holds considerable real power, and that Alex, as the principal and heir, can bow his head and give a half salute in their territory like Cambridge, then probably only the children of the dukes can do it. Come on--of course, this is most likely not because Alex feels inferior to the other party, but more out of respect for the grand dukes.

Unfortunately, Ozwald has been away from Victoria for too many years, and a long period of time will inevitably lead to changes in interpersonal relationships based on personnel; in addition, the last Lion King was pushed to the guillotine, and Tracys became the president of the Supreme Council. Identity and power... After experiencing these two huge political reshuffles, Ozward now really doesn't understand the factions within Victoria and the relationships between various nobles; otherwise he should have started from Cambridge. The earl's past interpersonal relationships deduced which duke's daughter this was, and based on the fact that he could put his daughter in Cambridge to learn this kind of political affinity, he also judged the camp the earl of Cambridge might be in.

If the answer can be obtained, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to the future direction of Britain to a certain extent.

But again - an annoying pity.

"Drake has been out of Victoria's political circles for nearly 30 years, and still has such a keen sense of smell. This makes me marvel at the cultivation of the royal family, or should I think it is because of your outstanding personal ability?"

While feeling slightly emotional, Alex also took this opportunity to compliment Ozwald.

In fact, just before he went to the banquet hall to wait for the red dragon, he and his father were discussing issues in this regard.

Regarding some of the camps that Cambridge belongs to, it can even be said that things will be launched and established starting from Charlotte, which will greatly change the current situation in Victoria.

But that is not something that Alex, who is just the son of a count, can talk about it at will based on his status.

"So, [Your Majesty Ozwald], please wait patiently for the arrival of the rightful master. It won't take you long."

Standing in front of the door, the blond Feilin said to the red dragon behind him, and changed the previous address.

"Before that, it is us, Kangqiao, who have to respond to your appointment."

Victoria seeks voice for change: 8 Earl of Cambridge

"Um....."

The red dragon standing in the room pondered slightly.

It's not like he hasn't imagined in his mind what kind of person the Earl of Cambridge might be.

A person with a sense of oppression who has been in a high position for a long time and has real power, or a politician who is mercurial and diversified... These are the appearances of the Earl of Cambridge that Ozwald himself had imagined.

but it is not the truth.

The man lying in a pile of books or documents used to analyze the current turbulent undercurrent of information in Victoria, with his head lowered and wearing glasses, looks very similar to Alex, but his blond hair has changed. The old film, all gray, does not look like a powerful earl who has been in charge of the mobile city of Cambridge for decades and has left a prominent reputation in the Victorian political arena. He gives people more of an ordinary academic talent. He is excellent but never complacent, and he looks like an old scholar who will answer questions with a smile.The bookishness that emanates from the inside out in his words and deeds is really quite strong.

But then I thought about it, this was actually normal.

After all, Cambridge is the most famous academic city in Victoria, and the Earl, as the lord, also has the responsibility of the president of the University of Cambridge; under the long-term influence of the environment and what he has done in the past, this image is more appropriate. .

"I heard that you just participated in the students' salon, so you must have had a preliminary experience of the energetic appearance of the young people in our school; I hope their performance tonight will satisfy your Majesty and be satisfactory."

It can only be said that they are indeed father and son, and the way and tone of speaking are really very similar; in this regard alone, Ozwald believes that Alex can perfectly inherit his father's legacy.

However, probably due to the decline in energy as an old man, and the fact that he has been tired of the tedious and lengthy preparations after many years of political service; the Earl of Cambridge, who was in his study, was very candid at the moment, and he got to the point when he spoke. .

"Because I have wasted many days of His Majesty Ozwald's time, I will not waste any more words now; the main reason why I sent the dog to Casimir to invite you to talk to me six months ago is because there are some problems. I want to ask you for confirmation.

——As the future Victoria, or the monarch of Britain, after defeating the ambitious Sarkazis and calming the turmoil led by the eight great dukes; His Majesty Ozward Artoris, what kind of strategy do you plan to use? How to govern your country? "

"Depending on whether your words can satisfy an old man like me, Kangqiao will decide whether to support you who will definitely fight against Tracy... Of course, even if you can't convince me , as long as you send troops, as a territory and vassal of Victoria, Cambridge will still follow Drake's banner and provide assistance within its capabilities."

But only there.

Whether it is victory or defeat.After that, Cambridge will not stay, let alone accept Ozwald's management and surrender to him; if he must be persistent, then he can conquer it by force.

After all, it is still the same sentence; although Drake has the only legal principle of royal power to inherit Victoria, that does not mean that Ozwald Artolis has inherited it.

Not to mention that you, Oswald, are now the Dragon Emperor of Britain, not the King of Victoria, you've already done everything, haven't you?

"So, tell me, [His Majesty Ozwald of Britain], how do you plan to govern your country?"

With anticipation, the Earl of Cambridge quietly waited for the answer from the red dragon in front of him.

After a while, Ozwald spoke.

"I have no idea!"

?

? ?

???

I do not know what that means?What does it mean not to know? !

"...You want to say that you don't know how to govern the country? Or that you don't know how to govern the country? However, your Britain is indeed on an upward trend with good prospects under your rule, isn't it?"

"Yes, so if you want to know something, just go and see it yourself. Xiaoqiu County, the Main City of Britain... I don't prohibit others from entering. Of course, I control it according to my own ideas and strategies. and jurisdiction.”

Ozwald rolled his eyes and snorted angrily: "But Earl, if you directly ask me how to rule Britain, then I don't know how to say it for a while? People's livelihood? Law? Military? Business direction? What should I do? Know which one you are more inclined to understand. What do you already know, and what are you tired of? You have to give me an entry point, right?"

"Indeed... Coming up directly and rashly asking about a general outline of integration will indeed make you feel that you have nothing to talk about. I apologize to you for my previous mistakes, Your Majesty. I didn't ask clearly enough."

After being in a daze for a moment, the Earl of Cambridge came back to his senses and hit his head several times with his hand. He smiled and apologized: "People are old and wise, and coupled with the fatigue of many days of hard work, they accidentally uttered nonsense." , I hope you can forgive me."

The red dragon let out a soft snort that couldn't be said to be angry or understanding, and it was considered that this trivial issue was dismissed.

The Earl of Cambridge also rearranged his thoughts, picked a convenient starting point for the topic, and asked again.

"I heard that the salon you attended tonight involved the issue of the abolition of the power of those who manage the country. At this point, how does Britain plan to deal with it? Your Majesty Ozwald."

ps: I’ll stop here today. Tomorrow I’ll start to talk about Britain and some of Ozwald’s policy methods in a relatively systematic way. Continue to focus on politics! (Of course, for some reasons that everyone knows, I would not dare to write in too detail)

ps2: Wo Ri, you can’t cite it any more. The old guy can’t sleep. He gets up and wanders around before five o’clock, and then he takes his gadget that I don’t know what it is compared to a radio. I have forgotten the scientific name. , exert all your strength.

Victoria seeks the voice of change: 9 Confused, after killing you, won’t they all still be mine? !

The issue of the abolition of insurance policies for those in power...

Hearing the Earl of Cambridge's question after searching for an entry point, Ozwald thought for a moment and replied: "At this point, I can be considered a member of the old faction.

To borrow what I heard in today's salon, the young man named Cromwell summarized it as follows: I support the abolition of the hereditary inheritance system of the administrative power of the nobility, but they can be allowed to continue to retain their nobility titles. "

In other words, in the future Britain, although there will still be some nobles such as dukes and counts, they will only be the honorary class titles they received after establishing meritorious services at that time, and they now control a mobile city. Even the nobility of several mobile cities and self-respecting "fief kings" have fundamental differences.

In this regard, Ozwald can be said to have made reference to part of the British system in the 21st century mentioned in last week's article.

Well, after all, it is still the same sentence; as the king and supreme ruler, the Red Dragon must of course manage and manage his territory with a "long-term" vision like the traditional nobles with hereditary power, and avoid the breeding of evil as much as possible. There are blood-sucking ticks or lice! (convinced)

At this point, the Earl of Cambridge also admitted that what Red Dragon did was not a wrong solution; but at the same time, he did not forget to point out some of the explosive points that would inevitably result from the latter's decision.

"You should not ignore that as the nobles who are about to be deprived of their power by you, these future victims will inevitably join forces before the danger arrives to obstruct or even resist your strategy."

"It doesn't matter."

Ozwald answered thus; and followed it up with another sentence.

"And this is the reason why until now, I have not used the legal principles of royal power possessed by Drak to declare that I will be the heir and establish Britain."

Just like those relatives and aristocratic families in ancient China were often able to control the government to a great extent in the later stages, one of the several possibilities for this happening is because they received help from them at the beginning, and they had no choice but to do so. Not giving back power to them based on this help will eventually make it easy for subsequent rulers to have their say taken away by these guys when something unexpected happens as time goes by.

In the same way, if Oswald chooses to play Drac's legal doctrine and declare his identity as heir to inherit Victoria, then considering the current situation of Tracy occupying the capital, there will definitely be quite a few dukes, counts and other nobles coming to respond. The legal principles of the red dragon and provide support... but after expelling Sakaz, it will be very troublesome to expel these old nobles who have done the work of supporting the dragon.After all, you can't just say and kill them all without even making an excuse, right?And even if you can find an opportunity, taking away the power of the hero will definitely chill some people's hearts.

Therefore, from the beginning, Ozwald never thought about winning the support from the nobles in Victoria - it was not a total resistance, but the premise was that they must agree with what he was going to do, otherwise he would rather You don’t need any of them.

So this is why he took a long way to establish a new political system such as Britain, and made as much separation as possible from the easier and more accessible Victoria.

As the first monarch who was able to successfully create a country in "troubled times", he will naturally have the right to make decisions that no one can question - this has nothing to do with any bloodline; even if the red dragon hands over the consulship to him many years later Others, but as long as he has a need and shows up to lend a helping hand, he will still get a huge response when the time comes.
