Chapter 1625: 8. Sightseeing trip (6)

The emperor's sudden visit brought various troubles to the republic.
There are strategic, tactical, diplomatic, and state affairs. As for all kinds of small details...it can only be said that the units responsible for foreign affairs reception, that is, various related tasks are increasingly overworked and dead. Suicide close up.
Not to mention the troubles brought to the Republic by the strategic and tactical level, how to receive the emperor alone has become an unsolvable problem.
Dignified and solemn, after the incident, the people will be scolded and flattered by the public, and it will be low-key and simple. Either the empire took the opportunity to protest the Republic’s negligence of the emperor, or the countries think that the Republic has degenerated into a group of poor ghosts and outlanders. Do not understand the way of the guest.
The pro-imperial forces within the nations, the forces that are not good at republicanism, will never miss this opportunity to influence public opinion and even influence the direction of national politics.
The foreign affairs reception department and various systems such as transportation, police, education, and community management are completely caught in the of choice. The situation they face is more than a dilemma, saying that the dilemma of life and death is similar. At the beginning, they also followed the normal administrative procedures to the House of Representatives for inquiries, trying to get a little inspirational guidance from the senators. As a result, the House of Representatives was informed that after a vote, they unanimously decided to take vacation and close the House of Representatives indefinitely. Standing in front of the door of the House of Representatives with seals and vacation notices, officials of the foreign affairs reception department were crying. Obviously, the senator masters made up their minds to take a vacation at home until the emperor left, and all the black pots generated during the emperor's visit were handed over to the department in charge of practice.
At that moment, the mood of the chief executives of various departments collapsed. The strongest ones could not conceal their frustration and disappointment. The unbearable ones burst into tears on the spot and began to think about how to write the suicide note, and how the wife and children should settle down. Which suicide method is less painful.
Probably it felt that the matter was not big enough, and the official responsible for the empire's liaison at this time actually proposed a "intimate" proposal.
The empire stated that if there are difficulties on the part of the republic, the reception can be arranged by the empire itself. Anyway, military bands, honor guards, emperor convoys, and direct guards are all ready-made. The Republic only needs to provide the emperor’s residence, a place to visit, and a venue for the signing ceremony.
This is really "intimate" that is so unsuccessful that the diplomatic liaison officer of the Republic took a lot of effort to restrain the impulse to strangle the ghost eared animal opposite.
What do you mean by arrogance? What does it mean to dig a pit to force you to jump? The one in front of you.
Arranged by the empire? Implemented by the officials of the empire? Let the emperor inspect the empire’s soldiers and guards of honor on the land of the republic and visit various facilities? What is this? The emperor inspected and investigated overseas colonies? They already regarded the republic as nothing. Is this land regarded as an imperial colony?
Each department head received the same response from this request list-anger, anger that almost burned reason. Several foolish supervisors shouted on the spot to find a retired marine with a history of mental illness, give him a sniper rifle, and let the emperor taste the headshot when the emperor's convertible passed by. . Others said that if a neuropathic gunman is not found, he can do it himself.
The atmosphere at the scene was close to being out of control. Fortunately, only a few of them were mad. Most people still have the reason to think rationally. The most important thing is that they also have a supreme leader with enough courage and ability to bear.
Minerva knew that the empire did not really want to stimulate the republic, but when the empire officials faced the special national conditions of the republic and the low administrative efficiency, they liked to use simple and crude methods to improve the work efficiency of their foreign counterparts. As for whether this method is hateful, whether there is a more tactful expression is completely beyond the scope of consideration.
Minerva did not like this kind of cold communication. Even if this method obviously improved the administrative efficiency of the government department of the Republic, and severely beat the face of the king of the mouth, she still did not like this kind of almost mechanical The communication method of the program.
However, there is not much time for her to express her thoughts and discuss the pros and cons between humanism and efficiency first, how to survive the immediate crisis, and how to preserve the dignity left by the Republic. This is the most important issue before her.
After a quick consultation and discussion between a group of think tanks and department heads, a welcoming plan called
classical emergency response
by later historians was introduced.
##########
"...Perhaps we underestimated the Republic."
"Your Excellency, it is too early to say."
"It may be a bit early in conclusion, but... look at their arrangements, even if they are placed in our country, this is enough to get a high score."
"Please don't forget, this is the result of the empire pushing them behind."
"Anyway, now the empire is now being opposed."
"Look again, look again..."
The envoys whispered around him, and the imperial officers and administrative officials on the bridge kept running around, sometimes meeting one or two stinky faces that were hard to conceal.
Justice Jay completely ignored all this. He just watched the dancing crowd in the terminal interface with great pride, and the Republic Philharmonic Orchestra struggling to play the music.
They did not play the parade march to review the guard of honor, nor the "Double Eagle march" or "Radecki march" that welcomed guests from afar. The music echoing over New Orleans is soft, soothing and magnificent, with a strong court atmosphere, and solemn yet elegant. It is reminiscent of the men who invited the ladies diligently at the court ball.
It was a waltz.
"Emperor waltz (Kaiser.Walzer)".
As the republic’s answer, nothing is more suitable.
According to common sense, when foreign leaders visit, it is the leaders who accompany the guests to review the honor guards of the three armed forces in the solemn march, play the national anthems of the two countries, and pay tribute to the salute. However, the empire and the republic had no normal diplomatic relations before. This raid visit completely broke the international practice, saying that it was a visit, which is in fact no different from forced entry by armed forces. Since the empire broke the diplomatic rules first, the republic's use of color without loss of courtesy is enough to make people speechless.
So there was this one in front of me.
Do you want to say rudeness? Sorry, the people of the Republic are simple and honest, and their own national conditions are here. Everyone is equal, and the fun of officials and the people has always been the characteristics of the Republic. What? You said it was disrespectful to the emperor? I mobilized the capital’s people and the best bands in the republic to play the waltz titled the emperor. Everyone sang and danced to greet the emperor of your country. This is not respectful enough. There was no one on the street, and the imperial army was left in the queue, playing the imperial army song, and it was regarded as a respect for the emperor if he entered the village like a devil?
With the head of the empire bureaucracy like a machine, I am afraid that in the face of the Republic’s humble and indifferent return, I am speechless.
Now it depends on how the emperor reacted. Want to be the ruler of the world's number one power, the supreme emperor, he is not so stingy that even these things must be taken care of. What's more, for the one who is "always right", things of this degree may have long been within his expectations. Everyone was waiting to see the emperor's response to this, to see how the emperor responded to the ball kicked at his feet.
Li Lin is certainly well prepared for this situation.
How much resources there are in the Republic, its mobilization ability, public opinion and public opinion and other information have been collected by Stasi and written into a report before his case. He will know exactly what kind of reaction the republic will face to the cards played by the empire and which cards they can play.
Today’s Republic may be described as
wind and rain
, but there should be no deviation in saying that it is
difficult internally and externally
.
The circulation of materials and personnel is blocked, the economy is sluggish, the employment rate is precarious, the voices of extreme political parties are accepted by more and more people, the resistance movement in the empire tends to be low, the international arms control negotiations are imminent, and the empire's trends are unknown...
By enumerating the above problems one by one, it is not difficult to find that the Republic, which has been founded for just over three years, is actually in a great crisis. However, if we trace the source, it is not difficult to find that the seeds of these crises have been planted as early as the Republic was founded.
All problems are with the Republic itself.
As the first country in the world to explicitly establish a republican system, the principle of "people, lord, righteousness" is written into the national constitution. From the beginning, the Republic was not liked by all countries. In the current world where kingship, imperialism, feudalism, and imperialism are the mainstream, countries that advocate "freedom, equality, and fraternity", and let the people have the power to participate in and discuss politics, are destined to be different. Even a threat. To know that there is no shortage of people who are dissatisfied with the status quo in the world, the success of the Republic will inevitably stimulate some of the restless and self-serving guys. They will regard the Republic as an example, and therefore they are more dissatisfied with their status quo, trying to try to His own country reproduces the success of the Republic.
Of course, the kings and nobles would not like someone trying to limit and divide their power and interests. They will definitely fight back, which in turn will increase civil dissatisfaction and attract more people to join the team that changes the status quo. Continue to accumulate and upgrade until it is radically intensified, and an inevitable violent revolution will affect these countries~EbookFREE.me~The kings, nobles, and squires will either completely suppress the revolution and put down all the "rebels" who participated in the revolution. Send it to the gallows or decapitate the public, or wait for the angry crowd to be pulled from the throne, and after being horrified and humiliated, be cut off from the ranks in the swearing and applause of the people.
No one wants to experience this kind of thing, not even the former one. Everyone knows what kind of damage a civil war will bring to the country. Even if they can suppress the revolution, they will only get a devastated country and many citizens who hide their anger and revolutionary ideas in their hearts. God knows whether this will be the fuse for the next revolution, and whether it can be suppressed smoothly next time.
It can be said that if the threat of the empire is not too great, the countries have long formed an anti-republic alliance and tried to kill this new country to prevent the possibility of the spread of the "revolutionary plague" to their own countries. It is precisely because of this kind of hatred and vigil that is buried deep in the heart that when the empire began to blockade the Republic, no matter which country reacted to it, there was neither a formal diplomatic protest document nor an active organization of the ship. The team crossed the blockade of the Imperial Navy and sent the much-needed assistance to the Republic. In addition to fearing the reaction of the empire, it is possible that there is no trace of beating the republic.
Therefore, from the beginning, the foreign aid that the republican politicians and the people counted on did not exist. When they faced the pressure of the empire, they could really rely on themselves.
