1106 Are All Preparing for that Day
The day after Akumali arrived in Amelia, he delivered the speech "The World Needs Peace", which once again shocked the whole world.
And on the third day, he served as a witness to a communication meeting between Amelia’s elected representatives and the Governor and other SAR officials.
The two parties sat at two rows of tables with some distance between them. The elected representatives came from each different city. They were the most famous people in the local area. They were trusted by the local people and came here to communicate on their behalf.
Akumali sat in a chair between the two parties, but he was present throughout but did not participate in any part.
Reporters from various countries used their cameras to record this scene truthfully. Under the influence of Akumali, people resolved disputes through communication in an orderly manner.
Each problem was solved or new progress was made, which shocked everyone!
This is Akumali's spirit and his thoughts!
Yes, there are many ways to solve the problem, why must we use violence?
Why not try something other than violence?
No one thought that before, maybe it was too easy to use violence, but now people are starting to value this non-violent solution.
It looks good, at least for now, it looks good.
Even some problems that cannot be solved by violence have been solved. At this moment, everyone believes that Akumali and his thoughts will become the ideological guide that affects the world pattern.
Later, after today's negotiations, the Governor returned to the Governor's Palace, and the officials followed him closely.
The governor works in his own mansion. The entire governor's mansion is divided into five parts. The front vestibule is a garden or something, and then there is a four-story local-style office building.
Coming out of the office building is the atrium garden, and further back is where the governor lives, a noble three-story single-family house in the mobile Gavera style, and the final backyard garden.
He does not need to travel between his residence and his office, this is the prerogative of the governor, just like the emperor.
The emperor never had to leave the palace to work; he worked in the palace.
The power of the governor is very great. It can be said that he is the emperor of the province of Amelia. He controls everything here. If necessary, he can even fight against some demands from the island of Gefra.
As long as he considers those requests to be "impudent" or "unreasonable", he can refuse to implement them.
Those who could achieve the position of governor in the past were always the confidants of the royal family or very powerful nobles.
Back in the office, a group of officials gathered together and someone couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty the Governor, there are some issues that are obviously beyond the scope of our discussion. In fact, we can ignore these issues."
Some of the issues submitted for discussion by elected representatives today are not included in the solutions. For example, representatives from a certain city submitted the idea that they hope to have a certain degree of autonomy.
Because the residents of the city had a sense of fear towards the Gefra people, almost all the cities were affected when they bloodbathed the rebels.
Originally, it was absolutely impossible to agree to this kind of thing. It took the Gefra people so long and so much effort to stabilize the situation until it is now like this. If you suddenly want to be autonomous, can you be given autonomy?
Then who has the final say?
But what is unexpected is that the Governor not only listened patiently to the other party's words, but also gave them an accurate answer.
Allow local people to participate appropriately in government agencies, such as the police and other departments.
This made everyone feel the sincerity of the Governor, and various problems arose later. Except for a few local people's requests to form their own army, which were rejected, most requests that were not excessive or extreme were approved by the President. recognition, or made some slight concessions to compromise.
The Governor sat on a chair, his right thumb and index finger resting on his chin and cheek respectively, his face propped up on his hands, and his head tilted.
He didn't seem to hear what the official said. After about twenty or thirty seconds, he looked at the official. "Letting them serve as police will not affect our control over the local people, and they will be more inclined to us."
"They will hate the crimes committed by their compatriots more than we do, and their methods will be more violent. This will not have any impact on us. This matter does not need to be discussed. Let's look at the specific situation first."
The official nodded and closed his mouth. Other officials also asked some questions, and the governor patiently answered them.
Including some reductions and exemptions on some local taxes that once existed, and local people enjoy as equal treatment as possible...
When all questions were answered, the officials departed to begin work and preparations.
There were only two people left in the room.
His Excellency the Governor, and his son.
He has two sons, the eldest son is right in front of him, and the younger son is studying abroad. He is not interested in politics, which also prevents the two brothers from having conflicts over the issue of heirs.
Of course, if you don't need power, the Governor will make more compensation in terms of money, and his eldest son has no objection to this.
In Gaevra, as long as you have a title and privileges, it is very simple to make money.
"Father, I don't quite understand why we have to make so many concessions?" After everyone had left, the eldest son, who was the secretary, found a place to sit down and poured himself a glass of wine.
In the past, their attitude towards the locals was not as gentle as it is now. Although the empire and the governor also wanted to use Akumali's ideas to calm down the final aftermath here, in the eyes of the governor's eldest son, they made The concession was too great.
Some issues can be changed bit by bit, such as the local people's desire for autonomy. Obviously, you can first give them some insignificant jobs, and then let them gain some power bit by bit.
Rather than allowing them to be police officers right off the bat, it will leave them wanting more.
The governor glanced at his eldest son, who was in his twenties and looked very much in line with the imperial people's aesthetic view of aristocrats.
Handsome, handsome, with a slightly longer face, which will make him look very serious, and he will also look good in a wig.
But he still lacks some overall perspective. You can't blame him for this, he is still young.
"We have to stabilize the situation here as soon as possible."
The Governor said something incomprehensible, and even his eldest son didn’t understand, “Why?”
The governor looked through the window in the direction of the empire. There was nothing at the end of the horizon, not the island of Gefra with its flag flying, but his eyes seemed to be able to travel across countless distances, looking down at his motherland from the air.
"Because this island is going to be in chaos."
"When there is chaos over there, it becomes very important whether our side is stable."
The governor seemed a little emotional. Who would have thought that the royal family had gone through so long to regain its power, only to be snatched back by the prime minister before it could be passed on for several generations.
Not to mention taking it back, they seem to be planning to cut off the possibility of the royal family to continue to be in power at once. Once this kind of storm becomes turbulent, it will affect the entire territory of Gefra.
When the conflict between the nobility and the royal family is triggered, large-scale conflicts or even civil war are likely to break out.
Of course, he also knew very well that the prime minister and the emperor would try their best to limit the outbreak of civil war, and the fleet's departure from the port was the best proof.
Now the whole world is very quiet and peaceful. In fact, the warships have nowhere to go after leaving the port. They can only wander around in the Western Ocean.
This will last for a while, it will last about two or three years, not too long.
Everything must end before the next war breaks out. Everyone generally believes that a new round of war will break out in about seven to eight years!
This is not the speculation of scholars and experts, but a fact. Countries including the Federation are frantically promoting the advancement of military technology and upgrading military equipment.
For example, those countries that once fought against Gaevra are also frantically building various warships and military equipment.
These things are not for viewing, or for defense, their only purpose is to attack!
Judging from the current industrial standards, two rounds of military equipment innovation and installation will be completed in seven or eight years. This means that if there is no war, their efforts during this period will be in vain.
At that time, whether it is for the military equipment they have created or for the hatred they once had, they will have to launch a war!
The losers of the war will have everyone foot the bill and allow others to plunder wealth, resources, and even land from them!
The Prime Minister knows this, and His Majesty the Emperor also knows this, so they will not delay the "decisive battle" until before the war breaks out, which will not do any good to Gaevra.
It takes time for the main body of the regime to change and adapt, and many things need to be changed, which means that it will take at least four to five years for the entire Gafra to adapt.
This is true whether the prime minister wins or the emperor wins.
If the Prime Minister wins, we must build a political power structure with the Prime Minister as the new core, and the royal family will withdraw from the stage of rule.
If the emperor wins, he will definitely reform the entire political system of Gaevra to avoid the possibility of the prime minister seizing power again.
No matter who is leading these changes, it will take a long time to adapt and then prepare for war.
Not to mention... the governor himself was not optimistic about the emperor's prospects in this game. He really didn't have any bargaining chips in his hand.
Stabilizing the situation in Amelia is actually the biggest help the Governor provides to this game.
As long as there is no chaos here, His Majesty the Emperor does not need to worry about whether there may be problems here. He can concentrate on dealing with the problems on the island.
However, the Governor is not worried about whether his power will be affected, because no matter what, no one will be able to shake his position for at least three to five years.
But his son didn't understand this.
