ALL NOVEL Chapter 207 Political Disaster
It didn't take long for the news of Wang Ziming's establishment of the Han Empire to be passed back by federal spies lurking in Portugal.
Although the Federation no longer has a stronghold on the mainland of Obaro, it still has temporary ports on some small islands outside, and has also obtained a good military port on the British Isles under lease to support the Obaro fleet.
Therefore, the Obaro fleet of the federal government has been active along the coast of Portugal.
Since Wang Ziming has no navy under his command, the coastline is completely undefended.
The Purple Dragon Federation dared not send troops ashore, but the business of smuggling and transporting spies was booming.
When Wang Ziming established the Han Empire, the way of governing the local area did not change much, but the names of the officials were changed, and the original military government system was still used.
But politically it has huge implications.
This means that Wang Ziming publicly slaps Zilong Federation in the face!
You know, all the people who rebelled and became kings from the Zilong Federation before did not end well!
Unsurprisingly, when the news was sent back to the mainland of the Federation, it immediately caused an uproar. The first to suffer was the members of the Wang Ziming family who had been placed under house arrest.
Since Wang Ziming proclaimed himself emperor, Wang Ziming's father and all relatives and friends were all sent to the guillotine by the Supreme Council!
This is a death penalty worse than hanging!
No matter how serious it is, it will be killed by a thousand knives!
Because people in the Zilong Federation have a tradition of keeping the whole body, the general death penalty is hanging. After the appearance of muskets, they were replaced by shooting, which is at the same level as hanging.
But going to the guillotine is a more serious death penalty than hanging and shooting. This method of death means that the whole body can no longer be kept!
The most serious death penalty is naturally the death penalty, which is commonly known as a thousand cuts, and the number of cuts depends on the severity of the crime.
Up to ten thousand knives, at least a thousand knives...
Those who perform thousands of cuts are professionals. Generally, the prisoners who are cut will not die early. There are even medical staff to stop the bleeding while cutting alive, so as to prevent the prisoner from dying before the number of cuts is fixed!
It is conceivable how miserable the prisoner who was cut ten thousand knives was...
The penalty of cutting alive is only when the last knife is stabbed into the heart and fatal.
This has become a folk craft in the Federation, and because the technical requirements are too high, the income of the successful executioners is very high, even if they don't work on weekdays, they still receive a high basic salary.
The work is easy and the salary is high. What a great job!
It's just that this kind of work is easy to be hated by people. There have been more than one cases in the Federation where executioners were killed by murderers hired by relatives and friends of prisoners!
After all, death by a thousand cuts is really too painful!
However, it is this painful death that can effectively deter Xiaoxiao, and the Zilong Federation under the rule of the powerful will naturally not remove this penalty.
All of Wang Ziming's family members were beheaded. If it was Wang Ziming himself, it would be cut into pieces!
The premise is that Zilong Federation can catch Wang Ziming...
The killing of Wang Ziming's family was not actually in the interests of the Zilong Federation, but Zilong Federation had no choice but to do this after Wang Ziming proclaimed emperor, otherwise, where would the Zilong Federation put its face?
In this way, Zilong Federation lost a bargaining chip to threaten Wang Ziming, and pushed the two sides into an endless situation!
Originally, the Zilong Federation didn't care about it, but after losing the colonial area in Porto City, the Zilong Federation found that the price they had to pay to conquer Wang Ziming on Obalo Continent was too high, and the gain outweighed the loss!
Therefore, I can only watch helplessly as the Han Empire is established and the prince proclaims himself emperor!
Of course, the price is high, but compared to the current Zilong Federation, the impact of Wang Ziming's founding of the country and proclaiming himself emperor is far beyond Wang Ziming's expectation!
In the Supreme Council of the Zilong Federation, several meetings have been held in succession regarding the establishment of the Han Empire!
I propose to fully install five-link rifles, water-cooled heavy machine guns, wooden handle grenades, and revolvers that have been developed by the Academy of Sciences to the federal army in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the federal army.
At the same time, start the construction plan of the steel-framed ironclad ship, and increase the navy's land artillery support!
The breech-loading gun should also establish a complete production line and install it in the army!
chanted a bearded MP for the 18th time in parliament.
This time the voice of opposition is far less than before, because the political pressure in the Federation is increasing. With the establishment of the Han Empire and the inaction of the Zilong Federation, the feudal nobles and ambitious high-level professionals below have become eager to move. .
Wang Ziming's Han Empire became the beginning of Zilong Federation's decline!
You must know that many 7th- and 8th-level human professionals are not alone, and have already established their own forces. In the past, the authority of the Zilong Federation dared not take any action, let alone be the leader.
But now that a mere son of a down-and-out nobleman can rebel and proclaim himself emperor, and live leisurely overseas, and remove the colony of the Obaro Continent, which is one of the important sources of magic stones for the federal government, what will others think?
Those feudal nobles had ulterior motives not because they wanted to rebel, but because they felt that the Zilong Federation was about to fail, and they were planning to seek more political interests in the chaotic world that may arise in the future.
If most nobles feel that the Zilong Federation is about to collapse, the hearts of the nobles will be scattered!
As for the Revolutionary Party, they took the example of the Great Han Empire as a typical teaching material. Many radical revolutionary parties have publicly called out to learn from Wang Ziming's revolutionary policy and completely overthrow the decadent Zilong Federation!
Build a beautiful world where everyone is equal, free, united, and friendly!
As soon as the domestic undercurrent of the Zilong Federation appeared, the Charles Empire, which had been suppressed for a long time, was not willing to show weakness. In private, it began to frequently contact representatives of various revolutionary parties, ready to add fire when necessary!
The Charles Empire has been suppressed by the Zilong Federation for hundreds of years. It doesn't feel good to be a younger brother...
Therefore, everyone in the Charles Empire is eager to get rid of the control of the Zilong Federation, but the Zilong Federation is too powerful, so powerful that the Charles Empire has no chance of winning!
Therefore, only when the Zilong Federation itself disintegrates, can the Charles Empire hope to break free from its shackles!
The root of all these turmoil comes from the rise of the Han Empire!
Therefore, the members of the Supreme Council no longer oppose this proposal with all their strength, but have begun to think carefully about it.
Compared with the political disaster brought about by the Han Empire, the future hidden dangers brought about by the full deployment of advanced weapons seem to be nothing.
If the Han Empire is allowed to hang freely overseas and the supply of magic stones is cut off, the Zilong Federation will not only lose face, but also suffer a great loss of interests!
From Wang Ziming's rebellion to the present, in just a few months, the price of magic stones in Zilong Federation has tripled!
