Chapter 1762: Fifteen. Aphrodite (7)

Is it schizophrenia to provide various parties with direct or indirect support while saying no interference?
To say so, it must be someone who has a sound spirit and moral concept, and at the same time has a deep conviction in the matter of goodwill. And in terms of universal social values, this is also a widely accepted argument.
In the political world alone, this argument is hard to move.
"The so-called politics, its most basic core ideas are nothing more than two. One is to use any means to achieve the purpose. The second is to learn how to compromise."
Standing in the corridor of Sanssouci Palace, looking up at the huge portrait with the theme of his ascension, Li Lin said indifferently:
"Do not understand these two points, let alone become a politician, not even qualified to be a politician."
A politician can be said to be a collection of negative adjectives without principle, profit, profit, lying, treacherous and cunning. Politicians are relatively more principled, but when faced with various trade-offs, rational calculation is still the top priority.
In the final analysis, morality and goodwill are the products of wealth. In the field of international politics, which thoroughly implements the law of the jungle, it is necessary to fight for one’s own status and life unless one encounters a show. Does Yu Yu use normal people's moral standards to restrict his behavior?
Everyone only saw the swaying light of the gem on the top of the scepter in the hands of the power, and no one saw it—more directly—and no one cared about the bones under the throne of power.
Whether it is power or the country, it is ultimately something that must be continuously watered to maintain and thrive. Regardless of whether people like it or not, the prosperity and stability of big countries are always based on the sacrifice of small countries. It is because of turmoil and war that they can continue to generate benefits, support the development of big countries, and make their lives safe and prosperous.
Compared with these facts, just a schizophrenic hypocrisy can achieve the above purpose, which is really cheap.
"Our goal is not to seek money and kill lives, but to maintain a new order. This big goal will not change at any time, but as the international situation develops and changes, we need to follow up and adjust means at all times. To help the Principality suppress the revolution, yes In line with this principle."
The core idea of ​​the new order is to prevent any change that is not conducive to the "maintain peace and stability during the preparation period." The previous limited support for Lapland’s war against the Principality, and now the assistance to the stability of the Principality revolves around this Target unfolding action. Fundamentally speaking, the empire does not care about the sovereignty and independence of Lapland and national independence, nor does it care about the status of the Principality’s people, power, or republic. The empire intervened only because these changes would undermine the stability of the new order. In order to maintain the new order and prevent the development of the situation from getting out of order, it intervened. From the beginning to the end, it is a calm calculation based on real interests, without any moral, consciousness, form, attitude, axiom and justice. Therefore, it is strange that people do not have to support Lapland for the empire, manipulate the struggle within the Principality, and then provide support to the Principality to suppress the unrest. This is really not a double standard or schizophrenia, but it is just a manifestation of the empire's consistent reality to terrible thinking in different forms.
Of course, there are also sympathetic "moral cleansers" who feel that the protesting people in the Principality who have been bought and incited by the Imperial Intelligence Agency are now innocent and unfortunate. But the people who claim to occupy the moral high ground obviously forget that from the Principality’s point of view, these people are treasoners who were bought by foreign spies, mobs that disrupted social order, and criminals who committed crimes in the name of revolution; from the perspective of the Empire, These people have lost their value and continue to retain tools that may endanger themselves. Finally, those victims who have suffered losses and even family members because of street violence are eager to hang and burn all the involved in street violence.
In a word, everyone wants their life.
From the moment they were bought by the empire, from the moment they used and incited violence on the street, they have lost all their escape routes, waiting for their destiny to be doomed, all of these are their own choices, they are looking for themselves of. From the beginning to the end, they have no sympathy. Their encounters and endings are nothing more than a contemporary interpretation of the stories that birds have stalked bows and rabbits have cooked for thousands of years.
The tool destined to be abandoned disappeared from Li Lin's thinking in an instant, and his blood-red eyes that had no focus and seemed to cross time and space again projected onto the Principality itself.
Generally speaking from a geopolitical perspective, using the turmoil to dismember the Principality into a plurality of small countries, provoking conflicts among various ethnic groups, and making these small countries compete with each other, the empire will not only take advantage of fishing, but also solve the two-line battle once and for all. Dilemma-This should be the plan most in line with the interests of the Empire. In fact, on the contrary, this is the worst choice.
The empire opposes any kind of revolution, whether it is a revolution aimed at overthrowing the monarchy and establishing a republic, or a revolution aimed at splitting independence. It's all trouble for the empire.
Needless to say, the former is also a potential threat to the stability of the empire. You know that the empire is nominally "the emperor rules the entire territory of the empire". In fact, the entire sacred Gilmanian empire should be regarded as a federal system composed of the empire's dominion, the crown of St. Eastman, and the prince of Ostoria country. This can be fully reflected in the title of Li Lin's "empire emperor". If it is a purely unified monarchy, his title should be "Emperor of the Holy Gilmanian Empire". Symbolizes the gap in exclusive rights.
Now that the empire has been in power for nearly four years, the Crown of Saint-Estwan and the Archduke of Osttoria have maintained a considerable degree of autonomy. The laws on race and conscription in the imperial territories are not fully applicable. Some fugitives entered the above two places, and the judicial and violent institutions of the empire also had to contact their counterparts in the two places, and then arrested by the local functional department before handing over.
Under the current integrated economic structure, Li Lin does not worry about the independence of these two places. He dares to be independent. He does not even need to send troops and engage in tariff barriers. The border closure can make their economy collapse. However, the deep economic bundling does not absolutely guarantee that these two places that have had a previous history of separatism will always be able to think rationally, and in the disintegration of the Principality, the temptation of independence in various small countries can also resist the temptation of independence. In order to avoid civil unrest and unnecessary consumption, the Principality should maintain unity.
"A Principality that is unified but is always in crisis is in the best interest of the empire, so that the empire can build the most ideal relationship with the Principality."
In the face of separatism, republicanism, the gap between the rich and the poor, and social unrest, both official and opposition forces in the Principality must seek the support of the empire, and the empire will gain tremendous influence over the Principality. Thus pulling the Principality out of the alliance with Albion. On the other hand, due to the official hostility of the Principality to any revolutionary attitude, the empire was able to build a mutual aid relationship (not an ally) based on anti-republicanism, thereby cutting off the possibility of the Republic and the Principality building good relations.
From the above points, it is not difficult to see that Li Lin is actually preparing to take advantage of the current turmoil in the Principality to achieve a relationship similar to the Vienna system with the Principality.
In 1814, the undefeated French Emperor Napoleon was defeated in Waterloo, Belgium. From the peak of the French Revolution in 1794 to the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, the whole of Europe became a tossing stage for French youth. Many European countries eventually wiped out these restless youths and even teenagers by replacing their heads. This was to prevent the revolutionary plague from sweeping the European royal family into the historical garbage dump. After the war, in order to avoid the outbreak of a violent revolution similar to the French Revolution At the same time, the major European powers gathered to discuss how to account for the fall of the revolution and how to prevent it and how to deal with it after the revolution. The result is the Vienna system.
Many historians regard the Vienna system as a grip on France after the Napoleonic Wars. In fact, this system is not simple. First of all, it is the common hope of all parties ~ EbookFREE.me ~ that is, the European structure has returned to the state before the French Revolution, rebuilding a strong inter-national security system, and re-establishing the repeatedly trampled European royal authority. The second is to rebuild the balance between power and power among countries and restore the chaotic social order brought about by war. Eventually, a "sacred alliance" will be established. For any riot that threatens the political system and Christian faith of a European monarchy, the member states of the sacred alliance will not hesitate to carry out armed intervention to eliminate it to the budding state and must not condone its development into France. A disaster like the Great Revolution.
From 1820, the Holy Alliance did play a role in the initial stage, and the uprisings in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Russia were all suppressed. The monarchs in Europe waved their flags of religious beliefs and tried their best to suppress the people who were "in bad faith" with the spirit of helping each other. For a time all revolutions were at a low ebb, and the monarchs finally felt safe.
Today’s international environment is certainly not suitable and it is impossible to fully reproduce the Vienna system, and Li Lin does not intend to replace his new order with the Vienna system. But the part of the Vienna system about geo-balance and repression of revolutions can be used for reference.
Li Lin’s plan was that the Empire first tried to maintain the existence of the Principality and curb the spillover of the revolution. At the same time, because this behemoth still exists, Albion will not start the war early because of self-abandonment; then the empire maintained its assistance and influence to the Principality, making the Principality very It is difficult to maintain the close relationship with Albion before the war; in the end the empire will support the Principality in suppressing various revolutionary signs, and use this as an opportunity to deteriorate the already delicate relationship between the Principality and the Republic.
"So... what can Roland do in the face of this situation?"
Looking at the streets of the Principality through the vision below, the emperor's undulating voice dissipated and evaporated in the empty cloister.
