Section 12 Political Structure
"Since adults think that the Western Continent has advantages and advantages worth learning from, and that adults have also studied in the Western Continent, can you tell us about the current development pattern of the Western Continent and what is the secret of their sudden rise in the past century?" Su Qin was obviously more concerned about reality. He had traveled to the Eastern Continent countries, but failed to travel to the Western Continent. This has always been something he regrets. Therefore, in recent years, he has also been working hard to collect information from various countries in the Western Continent, hoping to find a path suitable for the development of the Northwest while dealing with each other.
"The structure of the western continent is not much the same as that of our mid-continent. In the north, there are nomadic peoples, the Hansen Alliance and the Famini Empire are the two most powerful forces. The central part is the Augsburg Empire and the Barodz Kingdom, and the Hansen Alliance and the Famini Empire are the four. Especially the Augsburg Empire and the Famini Empire are more in a position to compete for hegemony. There are also some small principalities that are either dependent or neutral among these three major forces. The city-state is dominant in the south. The Babylonian Federation is the most powerful.
The power of the Aladdinian ship is said to be able to take more than 300 people, and the shipbuilding technology of our eastern continent is already able to catch up with the shipbuilding technology of our eastern continent. The westernmost Storm Ocean is also a huge island nation, the Kingdom of Leeds, which is particularly developed in sea transportation, which controls most of the sea power in the Storm Ocean.”
"In general, the Western Continent is a situation where countries compete for hegemony. No one can dominate, and their strength is quite close. It is difficult to achieve an overwhelming victory in any one-on-one war. Once a war breaks out, countless countries and forces will be involved, so it has always maintained a subtle but short-term balance. There is another special situation in the Western Continent that is different from our East Continent, that is, the people in the Western Continent all believe in religion, and the Holy Spirit Church is the most important one.
Religion: More than 90% of people in the Western Continent believe in this religion, but the Holy Spirit religion is divided into three major sects, including the countries along the western and northern coasts of the Babylonian Sea, as well as the fundamental sects dominated by the Famini Empire, the new sects headed by the Augsburg Empire and the Leeds Kingdom, and the Raf sects belonging to the Hansen Alliance. In addition to the frequent wars of interests, religious disputes are often also important factors that trigger wars." Wufeng briefly introduced what he knew.
"I can't explain the secret of the sudden rise of the Western Continent, but I feel that several factors played a big role. The first is that faith in religion has promoted the gradual improvement of the education system and the general improvement of the population quality; the second is that mercantilism prevailed in the Western Continent for a while, and countries in the Western Continent encouraged industry and commerce, and even used administrative means to intervene in promoting the development of industry and commerce; the third is that their shipbuilding industry has made the rapid progress in the sea transportation industry and has now become the most important transportation and exchange method for foreign trade in the Western Continent. Almost every country and city-state are building new ports and terminals. Such a huge flow industry has brought the flow of wealth, allowing more people to invest in this industry; the fourth is the most important point,
All countries in the Western Continent encourage adventure and enterprising, and encourage young people to go out to discover new wealth, new land and new things. It is said that in the south of the Babylonian Hainan, a crew member has discovered a large area of land after being lost. I don’t know whether it is a new continent or a large island, but in short, the discovery of new land has attracted the attention of the countries in the Western Continent. In contrast, our Eastern Continent seems to not pay much attention to this aspect. Perhaps these points can be considered part of the mystery of their rapid rise." Wufeng could not explain correctly why the Western Continent developed so rapidly in the past hundred years, and almost suddenly entered the era of ignorance and the era of civilization. He could only explain it vaguely from some superficial phenomena.
Of course, there is one thing that he did not say, that is, the most active and powerful countries in the Western Continent seem to be generally different from those in the Eastern Continent in terms of regime structure and political system. However, due to the huge differences in history and culture and traditional ideas, Wufeng cannot be sure that what can be used in the Western Continent can be accepted by the people of the Eastern Continent when they get it. This requires gradual exploration and adaptation and needs to be proved by practice.
"Does your opinion think that our northwest and Kansai should also follow the policies adopted by some countries in the Western Continent to transform the northwest and Kansai?" Su Qin asked in a deep voice.
"No, I don't agree with this view very much. There are many things worth learning from in the Western Continent that can only be learned from, but we can only learn from them, not copy them completely. Our country and nation have their own traditions and historical culture, so all new things must be organically combined with our own characteristics. This is my opinion." Wufeng said decisively, "So we need to understand and master the development status of the Western Continent. My old classmates who I have arranged for during my study tour to help me carry out this work. I hope he can not forget what I entrusted him when he is in the Western Continent."
The four of them had a fierce discussion on several issues, the current situation in the northwest and Kansai, the characteristics of the countries in the western continent, the development and changes of the internal situation in the empire, and the direction of the movements of the surrounding forces. At this time, there was no distinction between master and servant, nor was there any restrictions on the superiors and subordinates. They each spoke freely on the issues they were concerned about. Until the red sun set, the four of them were hungry, and then they realized that dinner had already passed. However, the four of them, including Wufeng, still felt that they were still unsatisfied, so they simply ordered their servants to deliver the food into the room and continue the unsuccessful topic while eating.
The government affairs of Kansai were also raised after the meal of four people. Although the situation in the six Kansai prefectures seems to be relatively stable from the moment, if you want to build Kansai into a base for taking over the Central Plains, especially to take on the responsibility of communicating with the east, west, south and north, you need to make a good plan.
Wufeng has been considering whether his current regime structure needs to be readjusted. Although the Northwest Administration only nominally manages the six Northwest Administrations and Northern Luzon, in fact, the important government affairs of the countries in the Western Regions also need to be reported to the Administrative Office. The Mot Autonomous and Tubu Autonomous on the Tengger Grassland and the now unknown Luobei occupied many government affairs also need to report to the Northwest Administration. The Northwest Administration has actually played the role of a small cabinet government, and now Lulong and Pinglu of Beiyuan and Tianshui of Heshuo will be included sooner or later, and Tianshui of Heshuo are actually under the control of the Northwest Administration. In fact, the Northwest Administration has greatly exceeded its nominal authority, and its jurisdiction area is equivalent to more than three counties in the empire, which has overwhelmed Xiao Tang's work.
Now the addition of Kansai has put the Northwest Administration in an embarrassing position. If the six Kansai administrations are also subject to the jurisdiction of the Northwest Administration, this is very different from the situation in Northern Luzon. Not only is it inconsistent in name but it is also too large in area and has a large population. The complexity is far better than the original Northwest Administration. The Northwest Administration has some difficulties in operating both in name and in reality. Is it time to readjust the management agency?
After Wufeng raised this question, it attracted the attention of King Xiao Su and the other two. How should Kansai County be managed? Should it continue to be managed by the Northwest Administrative Office or set up a separate Jiedushi Office? Is this Jiedushi Office just a nominal command organization like the Northern Luzon Governor's Office or set up a real Jiedushi Office? If the Jiedushi Office is set up in Kansai, which party should the adjacent Lulong, Pinglu, Tianshui Office and the Anyuan Office be managed by the adjacent Lulong, Pinglu, Tianshui Office and the Anyuan Office behind? Will the policy guidelines of the entire Kansai Six Constitution also continue the policies adopted by the Northwest and Northern Luzon? Do some adjustments need to be made? How to adjust? This series of questions made the four feel the problem was difficult.
Looking at the three people with red eyes but full of energy, Wufeng felt that it was a bit naive to think that he would come up with a solution to the Kansai problem overnight. The three people had a serious confrontation on the first issue, and even involved the current regime structure in the Northwest. Whether the Northwest Military and Political Administration Commission was still necessary has become the focus of the debate between Su Qin and Xiao Tang.
Su Qin tends to abolish the substantive management rights of the Northwest Military and Political Governor's Office, including the Governor's Office of the Northern Luzon, and also abolish the management rights of the Western Regions Government Affairs Office. Kansai County does not have a military and political Governor's Office. Instead, it establishes a unified management agency based on all areas under the jurisdiction of Wufeng. All prefectures, states (Western Regions), and national autonomous regions are directly managed by this organization. This can not only reduce the intermediate management level, improve work efficiency, but also reduce redundant staff, reduce administrative expenses, and also prevent them from being treated.
There were only factions among government officials divided by regions. Xiao Tang did not agree with this plan. He also supported the division of Wufeng's jurisdiction into several large areas, based on county-level areas, six prefectures in the northwest, six prefectures in Guanxi, five Western Regions, Tenggeri Grassland Area, three prefectures in the North Yuan (including Anyuan, which has not yet been controlled) and Tianshui Prefecture, and Northern Luzon are part of them. They each formed administrative agencies to implement management. A government affairs office was added to this level of management structure, responsible for guiding the work of six prefectures in the first-level governments.
