Chapter 350 Pirates Found a Nation

Five days later. The turmoil in the Shadow Island Organization caused by the destruction of the three major pirate groups was roughly quelled, and the parliament held many urgent meetings to discuss the next direction of the organization.

The tone of the truce with the sea tribe was set first. The hidden strength of the sea tribe was exposed at the beginning, which led to the destruction of the three major pirate groups. This made the pirates who had been fighting for a month and a half with no effort change their attitude towards the war.

Pirates are not an army that likes to start a war seriously. They are better at looting fleets, harassing coastal villages and ports, and even collecting protection fees. Pirates who have always been highly flexible and fighting in the dark at sea are extremely frustrated when fighting with the sea tribe because the sea tribe is more flexible and has become the enemy in the dark and I am in the light.

The battle was already difficult, and suddenly found that the sea tribe was not as easy to deal with as imagined, so the pirates began to unanimously oppose the war with the sea tribe. In the eyes of the pirates below, Yorick was originally an anti-war speaker, so he naturally made a decision that conformed to the will of the people.

Although Yorick proposed the various benefits of fighting the sea tribe at that time, the decision was made by the three speakers. At that time, due to the lack of prestige and Yorick's deliberate separation from the decision to start the war, except for the parliamentarians attending the meeting, other pirates always saw Yorick's anti-war face.

Yorick, who catered to the public taste and won the support of more than half of the members of the Shadow Island Parliament, became the only supreme authority in the Shadow Island Organization. In order to consolidate Yorick's position, Yu Fei even personally helped Yorick control the most prestigious veteran members of the parliament.

Under the control of the parliament, all pirate fleets left the eastern war zone east of Shadow Island, which was regarded as directly abandoning the large sea area where the sea tribe most often appeared. Anyway, it was far away from the sea area of ​​​​Eslaze Continent, and the main area where the pirates did "business" was not there.

The mainstream opinion within the Shadow Island Organization is to leave the sea tribe alone first and settle down internally. Of course, this is also a manifestation of the influence of the principle of "pacifying the country before resisting foreign aggression" proposed by our great Speaker Yorick - Yu Fei used all means to focus on consolidating and improving Yorick's status.

The demise of the three major pirate groups means that the power structure of the Shadow Island organization has been greatly disordered. The only remaining Speaker Yorick, relying on the reputation he has cultivated in the past two months and the support of most members, has temporarily implemented a dictatorial rule by special means in special times.

Although a small number of members were dissatisfied with the rule of Yorick, who had just taken office, this group of opposition forces was quickly wiped out in the face of the general trend. The part of the pirate group that was most difficult to recognize Yorick's status had actually been cleared out by the sea clan under Yorick's internal and external cooperation.

In this way, in the following month when Yorick was in power, the Shadow Island organization gradually stabilized. Most of the pirate groups returned to the right track and began to resume their old business. Some large pirate groups that were already completely controlled by Yorick in secret still stayed around the Shadow Island in the name of guarding against the counterattack of the sea clan.

One month in office greatly improved Yorick's prestige. Most pirates thought that Speaker Yorick was a very good decision maker. Especially in the eyes of the middle and lower pirates, Yorick was simply a savior who rescued them from the vortex of fighting with the sea tribe.

Just as Yorick's reputation was rising, under the covert operation, a voice was getting higher and higher in the Shadow Island Parliament. Some members proposed that although the battle with the sea tribe failed, the previous proposal of the pirates to establish a nation was a very good idea.

Now the Shadow Island organization has reached a turning point, and it must change the way of existence in order to better continue in the changing situation. Establishing a nation is a very good choice. This is the argument of those members who proposed to continue to implement the proposal to establish a nation.

Very strangely, this argument was supported by several veteran members of the parliament as soon as it was proposed, and it was quickly recognized by the majority of members, and the news was passed down. In the middle, of course, Yu Fei's mental control played an indispensable role.

When the news reached the bottom, most of the pirates reacted by being shocked for a while, and then became excited. Before the battle with the sea tribe, the proposal to establish a pirate nation was only known to a few people in the parliament. It was the first time for the middle and lower pirates to hear about this proposal.

For ordinary pirates, the proposal to establish a pirate nation was very exciting to them. No one is born to be a pirate. Even the capable pirates in the upper class actually have an open identity on the coast. Having a country that belongs to pirates is something that ordinary pirates dream of.

Establish a nation! Support the establishment of a nation! For a long time, the call to establish a pirate nation has been getting higher and higher in the Shadow Island Organization, forming a wave.

After just five days of discussion and soliciting opinions, the Shadow Island Organization unanimously determined the opinion on the establishment of a pirate nation. It is time for the Shadow Island Organization to change its organizational structure!

As for the new organizational structure, it was also determined after some discussion.

Because the personnel in the Shadow Island Organization are all pirates or pirate families, the general highly centralized national structure is naturally unsuccessful. The parliament finally decided to establish a federal country similar to the United Kingdom of Candela Business.

Of course, a federal state also needs a king. As the only remaining speaker and pirate king, Yorick is naturally the king who is expected by everyone. Under the king, the Shadow Island Parliament was retained, but it was divided into two parts.

After the establishment of the pirate nation, the Shadow Island Parliament will be divided into the Federal Parliament and the People's Parliament, which can also be said to be the upper house and the lower house. Most of the members of the Federal Parliament are members of the original Shadow Island Parliament, representing various large pirate groups and states after the establishment of the nation.

The newly emerged People's Parliament is composed of people's representatives elected by middle and lower-level pirates and even pirate rangers and sea adventurers, and exercises some power.

The king, the Federal Parliament and the People's Parliament are the power structure of the pirate country after the establishment of the pirate nation. The specific distribution of power is still under discussion.

As for the management method of the country, it is reflected in the two words "federation". The Shadow Island Organization was not a strict organization, and even if the pirates established a country, it would not be easy to centrally manage it. The vast sea area and the scarcity of islands also determined that the new country could not be managed like on land.

According to the original division of power, the sea area covered by the Shadow Island Organization was divided into 34 states, each of which was composed of a considerable number of small and medium-sized pirate groups and a large pirate group. When dividing the islands, they also tried to take into account the balance, and put the areas and forces of the 34 states on the same level.

Unlike the modeled Candela Commercial United Kingdom, the national class that the pirates were going to establish was more vague, and there was even no aristocracy. This was because most of the pirates became pirates because they were oppressed or even framed by the nobles, so after Yorick carefully considered and considered everyone's opinions, he did not establish an aristocracy.

The actual reason was that the existence of the aristocracy would reduce the king's ruling power, which was not what Yu Fei wanted to see. What he needed was a country where Yorick could make a decision, at least in terms of military affairs.

In addition to the changes in power and management institutions, the biggest change was that the pirates no longer plundered. To be honest, not many people are willing to live a life of blood and knife. Every year, there are not a few pirates killed by the regular army of coastal countries or even the caravan guards.

After the pirates established their country, if the general pirates did not want to join the army, they would be assigned to various states and some coastal areas occupied by pirates to become citizens of the kingdom, and the kingdom would solve their living materials.

As for the economic source of the kingdom, it is naturally to collect protection fees. Pirates who are unwilling to retire will be incorporated into the kingdom and army, becoming a tool to protect the kingdom and "suck blood" from other human countries.
