Chapter 832: 4. Opening Magic (1)

Hot recommendations:,,,,,,,
"Really? That guy Roland still did this..."
"You are not surprised at all."
Major Tristan von Wittelsbach in the communication interface of the camouflage supply ship "Rida" was serious and upright, and he did not seem to see a reaction similar to "surprise".
Half of it stems from the strict self-discipline of Major Tristan, who is the captain of the floating destroyer "Royan Tar", and the other half is-
"That kind of thing has been known for a long time. After all, we are the buddies. To be surprised, Caspar will be repaired so completely that surprised me a bit."
The Captain Parsifal of the Logistics Department took off his military cap and scratched his hair. With this action, some messy hearts were also combed.
"Considering from various angles, it is inevitable that this step will appear today."
"Yes, we all know the guy's temper."
"No."
Parsifal interrupted with a wave of his hand, and his lazy face rarely became serious.
"The conflict between Roland and the consul is not so much that character determines fate, but that it is the collision of two ideas that triggers the opposite result."
"..."
Tristan said nothing, and it was taboo for soldiers to talk about politics openly in the Defence Forces. There were fresh cases of Charlemagne soldiers doing politics, and the speeches of hot-minded far-right elements in this regard had to be low-key. Tristan, the longest, can only choose to remain silent in the face of fundamental ideological issues involving the highest leaders and national politics.
"Don’t be overkill among old friends. It’s right for soldiers not to intervene in politics, but it’s not necessarily a good thing if soldiers don’t understand politics."
Parsifal smiled and continued:
"It is generally believed that Roland is leaning towards liberalism in thought, and in fact it is, but Roland went further than the liberal republican idea of ​​"elite governance". He expects that "ethnic coexistence and the public enjoy supervision and criticism The rights of the power class', it is better that national leaders can also be born from the people, rather than being monopolized by the nobility."
Straightforward point. It is "democracy".
"Isn't our new order the same?"
Tristan asked back.
As the eldest grandson of Wittersbach's family, he can achieve today's achievements, not relying on his background, but entirely on his own talents and hard work. same. For example, Casper can enter the Guard without being an elf. All of this proves that Alfheim is not a social structure controlled by power.
"The power of the state is monopolized by the aristocracy", which is not seen in Alfheim, at least Tristan has not seen it.
"What about changing the gate valve to race?"
"..."
Facing the sharp questions of friends, Tristan's silence was a little guilty.
Citizens of Alfheim are divided into five classes based on race: the management class is basically dominated by the first-level elves and the second-level mixed-blood elves, and the third-level dwarves, gnomes, and fourth-level orcs Can obtain some positions, the fifth class of human beings basically missed public office. Joining the army is their only chance to get ahead.
In the foreseeable future, this system will not be shaken, and after the war with Charlemagne, even after stepping on the whole world, this system will continue to be implemented for a long period of time.
The reason for this situation is not that some self-intoxicated people hang on their lips. "We are God-selected people, and the of other races is our inherent sacred mission"-so simple and never Beautiful fantasy is so simple. In the final analysis, this method is necessary when a small ethnic group dictates the territory where the majority of other ethnic groups occupy the majority, and sometimes it is forced to be implemented with a massacre.
No need to cite past history. Looking at what the countries are doing in the colonies today, it is also clear what is going on.
"The more fundamental problem is that our family has been suppressed for too long, and the unpleasant memories of 10 centuries will not simply disappear. No matter what the propaganda agency said,'Forgiveness is the privilege of the strong,' and the dominance of the race is a virtue. , The effect will not meet expectations. The public only knows'we won, now it's up to us to say.'
Parsifal smiled a little bit more bitterly, and his argument simply portrayed his countrymen as vile beings like thieves, but as far as he knows, in the history so far, the winner of the war has done to the defeated Things are thousands of times worse than thieves.
"Considering the patience that the people have made so far for the war. The resulting ‘compensation needs must be at least partially met, and it’s inevitable to implement a ‘fair but differentiated system.’

"It turns out that Roland, who advocates'equality, cannot accept this."
"If this is okay, social inequality has existed for thousands of years. It will continue to exist in the future. Roland, who is an idealist but does not lack realism, will not see this, so he is governing The Salbadu District did not adopt a radical reform policy, but adjusted the distribution of benefits as gently as possible, bridging the conflicts between the parties at the smallest possible cost. I am afraid that he wanted to verify him based on Salbadu 'S proposition to prepare for the future march into Parliament. Take the parliamentary route to change the country's system.
"In this case, then he acted rashly just for some ‘unpleasant things. It’s too emotional. He has already done so. Why not patience?

Tristan caressed his chin, his face unclear. Looking at an old friend who lacked a keen and flexible mind about things outside the army, Parsifal shrugged and sighed.
"Because he has discovered that the biggest obstacle in front of his claim is nothing else, but the consul himself."
"How is it possible, the demeanor of the adult..."
"It's just trouble because of its generosity."
Parsifal came closer, and the slightly gloomy expression said verbatim:
"Do you know? Tristan. For democracy, the idea of ​​pursuing all equality and setting limits on power, a virtuous monarch and his virtuous politician are more powerful than the ten thousand tyrants and their sins Lethality."
"..."
"The massacres and sins of the tyrants will only arouse the hatred of the people. Maybe they seem to be suppressed by blood for a while, but the smooth surface is filled with angry and defiant fuel. As long as a certain time is put into a spark, A violent explosion will smash everything. From this point of view, the establishment of democracy just needs tyrants. What about Mingjun? The people find that they don’t need to care about politics, they don’t need demonstrations or even sacrifices to get a good life. When they are free I can still complain a few words. When I push some unsatisfactory things to the prince without paying a price for it. Who cares whether he can speak to the country and whether the power of the superior is restricted? I am afraid that most people will Cheers and hugs. Those who advocate democracy will naturally stand against the majority of people, because they deny the happiness of the people and the side that most people choose. For democracy that promotes respect for the majority opinion. This is no exception. The biggest nightmare."
"That means the parliamentary route will not work from the beginning?"
"The probability of failure is at least 80%."
Parsifal smiled and brought back some other ideas to his heart.
In his view, Li Lin's positioning of the parliament is not so much a legislative body that restricts the monarch, but rather an adjustment body that responds to the state of society and accepts various opinions through the parliament. Make appropriate adjustments to the system through legislation and bills when appropriate. So as to maintain the efficiency of national operations.
Judging by the principle of action that the adult has always allowed to give opinions but never allowed to resist, the possibility of this becoming true is around 90%.
Take a step back and say that the adult really allowed Roland's small moves, and it was also an extremely difficult trial for democratic thought. After all, the biggest and most obvious problem with democratic republic is "slow decision-making". Due to the many opinions, in order to balance the interests and responsibilities of all parties, the discussion will inevitably take a lot of time. More serious is the people's side, they are concerned about the impact of decision-making results on themselves, rather than the big people's ideas and decision-making process. When they have the right to choose representatives, they will certainly not hesitate to use their votes to punish politicians who deviate from their own interests-regardless of whether the interest claims are reasonable, they do not care whether they will cause other people to rebound, whether they will tear Society, bringing the country into internal turmoil.
Eventually democracy became a populist society, and the entire society became a giant mental hospital accommodating extremists and mental patients. Social development stalled, and civil unrest spread to every corner. At this time when the ruling officer comes out to clean up the mess and announces the restoration of order and economy, the lovely people will definitely cheer and hug.
It can be said that the parliamentary route is destined to end in failure.
The other cannot be said. Within the system, the existence of the "second person" is subtle and dangerous. It involves power struggles, but the water inside can drown people.
"What's more terrible is that our lifespan is very long. That adult is even more immortal."
The average lifespan of the elves is 300 years. In the time of a generation of elves, humans have changed for several generations. As for Li Lin, which is beyond the species... I am afraid that dozens of generations of humans will not be seen in their lifetime, nor can they wait for the news that his grandson burned him down. It's underground.
"The weakness of the original monarchs was that the degree of good functioning depended on the monarch’s personal ability. The founding monarchs were talented, and their successors continued to deteriorate. Examples of the terrible monarchs in the last dynasty were not uncommon. Democrats and republicans were originally There is also the option of "reserving seeds and waiting for the opportunity", as long as they do not allow the inheritance of ideas, they can always wait for the opportunity to unravel when the dynasty is down. But this will not work in the era of New Gilmania’s rule, not to say that An adult, our own longevity alone is enough to make them disappear in the long river of history. In the face of the strongest poison of time, any thoughts and ideas will gradually fade away from the glory like beautiful women, and ultimately from people's perspective disappear."
"So, Roland is actually..."
"He probably realized this too. When our army boots stepped on the Champs Elysées, the people and soldiers burst into tears and cheered'Long live my emperor (!ser!)' All worlds will follow an irreversible fatal track. For him, this is not something to be encouraged. Because of his childhood experience, Roland hates the most unreasonable, forcibly imposes results on others' fatalism."
Fate will stop people from thinking, and it will turn free will into worthless waste, and the "irresistible" trait is precisely the biggest feature of Li Lin's new order.
"Roland..."
Parsifal hesitated and lowered his voice to say his conjecture.
"Mostly after he realized this, he wanted to cast a wave before the world entered stability. In the worst case, he would also find ways to keep the seeds of his thoughts and hope that people would take care and germinate in the distant future. I believe people Believe in the remote and small possibility, and stand up for it."
"It's... a magnificent and stupid idea. This romantic idea is very suitable for an idealist like him."
"He is this kind of person. Next, he will try to help Charlemagne and prevent our army from winning a glorious victory, so as to plan negotiations; in the worst case, he will find a solid facility like the Fortress of Isherlen as a base. It may be possible to form a'Republican government of Isherlen and fight against the consul, and rely on the complete defense facilities and the Thor's hammer, maybe it will be successful."
"This kind of joke that makes you misunderstand is not funny at all."
Tristan lowered his voice and warned that after sighing for a particularly dull friend in some places, he asked again:
"how about you?"
"how?"
"Roland and Kaspar have made choices about the differences in life. I have long decided to dedicate everything to the country as a soldier, and the only one who has not yet decided where to go is only you. Wouldn’t the brain of value still be a salary thief until he retired? After retirement, he spent his remaining days with his pension?"
"It's really Tristan. Really know me."
Scratching his head in embarrassment, always lazy and childish Parcifal showed a yearning and happy expression on his face.
"Well, the pension and pension of the captain class should be enough for me and another person to live a simple life. If I want to live a better life...I can also use the relationship between the status of a retired soldier and the logistics department to check the army. History archives, being an amateur history writer earns a little extra money, and then has a son who is as beautiful as a unicorn and makes good black tea...I can drink black tea with brandy every day. I think this kind of life is probably the best for me Yes."
"Before that, do the work within the salary."
Controlling the urge to hold his forehead, Tristan learned:
"I'm too lazy to discuss whether your personal style is in line with military discipline~EbookFREE.me~ But I hope you at least know that the army who pays your salary, pension and pension is at least worthy of the taxpayer's blood and sweat. ."
"Understood, understand, Master. If you can't survive in Alfheim, who would you ask for a hard-earned pension? So, I joined the army for the sake of stability in old age. As an officer with a beginning and end, I will definitely work well."
"That's good."
Tristan's stomach-stricken face disappeared from the communication interface, Parsifal sighed, and the whole person was lying on the table like mud.
The four-man team that was inseparable in the military school now splits into the hostile sides. Even if they are psychologically prepared, the shock and pain when they received this news will not be reduced. The only thing to be thankful is that Parsifal didn’t have to go to war. It was basically impossible to fight Roland head-on, but he could stand by and watch his old friends fight each other, but might it be more sad?
"I want to retire soon..."
The discouraged words leaked out unconsciously, waiting for him to continue to be sentimental, the harsh alarm tore the peaceful air. (To be continued.)
