Chapter 2418

Looking at the protesting people on TV, His Majesty the new emperor had a cold expression on his face.

Many people said that he became Emperor Peng Jieo because he licked the buttocks of the President of the Federation.

Because his attitude towards the federation was too "friendly", His Majesty the new emperor even issued a temporary decree prohibiting the use of humiliating methods such as burning and graffiti to treat the federal flag and portraits of the president in public.

After the defeat of the war, many people burned the federal flag in public in order to vent their emotions, and graffitied Mr. Truman's portrait as a clown or a dictator and spread it everywhere.

In fact, these actions will not have any direct negative impact on the federation or the federal people.

But it can greatly release Peng Jieao's suppressed emotions due to the defeat in the war!
But such small things that don't seem to have any impact on the world structure are banned.

For example, His Majesty the Emperor forbids people to besiege the Federals, and forbids them to abuse or attack the Federals.

Severe punishment will be imposed on those who hurt the federal people or rob the federal people of their property.

This also made many people in Peng Jieao think that he was not a competent emperor.

Some people even described him as "the most spineless emperor in a thousand years", and "soft bones" became his nickname among people!

In fact, only Peng Jieao's new ruling class understands that all this is for the sake of stability.

Stability, for weak and small countries, is too important!
Although the ministers were unwilling to admit that Peng Jieao was a "weak" country at this time, they had to admit it!
The Federals are bad and insidious.

This is completely different from their international image in the past, everyone has been deceived by them!

Now the Penteio Empire is facing several big troubles.

First of all, the dependent countries began to gradually break away from the political alliance, in other words, those former followers had begun to give up following the Penteo Empire.

Peng Jieao's rapid development in recent years has largely benefited from the practice of sucking blood from these dependent countries.

The subordinate country sells a large amount of materials to Penjiao at cost price every year, and then domestic merchants and nobles process them into goods and then sell the goods back in multiples.

They use various means to suck blood from these subordinate countries to strengthen themselves.

There was no problem with this approach before, because the authority of the empire cannot be challenged.

No one is willing to try and accept the bitter fruit of provoking the glory of the empire, destroying the country is not a joke.

The ruling class will be reduced to the inhabitants of the zoo, and the majority of the people will be reduced to half-slaves as laborers. No one wants to do this and can only let them suck blood.

But now, Penteo has lost, they are not invincible, plus the Federals are trying to intervene diplomatically in this land.

Some countries have broken away from the political alliance, and the authority and status of the Penteo Empire in the Eastern Continent are all accepting new challenges!
If these external problems are already serious, then the more serious ones are the internal problems.

With the support of the Commonwealth, many clans have begun to advocate political independence after the war.

These ruling classes who were conquered by Pengeo want to restore their country!
Moreover, the Federation is very supportive of their approach, which makes them even more unscrupulous in talking about the restoration of the country on various occasions!

The Penteos again began to suffer for their previous stupidity, if they killed these rulers instead of raising them all to prove the majesty of the empire from the side.

Now, there won't be so many things going on!
Political independence, then geographical independence, military independence.

In the end it was a complete split!

It is facing a terrible future of fragmentation. The ruling class of the empire is negotiating terms with various survivors, hoping that they will not destroy the current situation.

For this reason, the imperial family is willing to cede some power to these bereaved families, such as recognizing their rule over certain areas and giving them corresponding political power.

This is actually a kind of "enfeoffment", and they must be highly unified politically with the politics of the empire.

Many survivors are actually willing to accept such conditions, because for some of them, they have already integrated into the privileged class of Penteo.

Even if they are given a few cities now and let them become emperors or kings, they may not be able to do well.

Even if you do well, you don't know how long you can last, after all, Peng Jieao is by your side.

But there are still some people who have not been exterminated for a long time, and they still have some hatred for Peng Jieao, and they insist on restoring the country!

If this is enough to make people anxious, then the emergence of radical reformers has caused even more headaches for the current ruling class of the empire.

This group is involved from nobles to commoners, and their size is still growing!

They believe that the Federation's social system is the best in the world, and if the Penteio Empire wants to catch up with the Federation, it must abandon the current social system.

They want to completely dig out the rule of the royal family from the root!
Just look at Gafla, Her Majesty the Queen is a puppet, and the power is completely in the hands of the Prime Minister's cabinet.

This is the last thing the ruling class wants to see, and they don't want to let the common people decide their rights.

In addition to the famine, etc., the problems facing Peng Jieao are too many, too big, and the moment has come to make a certain decision!
In fact, the radical reformers are right in some views, that is, if there is no change, the empire will perish!

But how to change is a problem!
"You must not do what they say. Power is a sacred thing and should not be placed in the hands of these people. This will make the whole country mess up."

His Majesty the Emperor was eating the fresh fruit imported from Nagalil, and looked at the other ministers in the room, "We had a good talk with the Federation this time, and their delegation will come to help us complete this task soon. Painful phase."

"If a short period of pain can regenerate this country, then I think it will be worth it!"

The ministers remained silent, which was actually the result of everyone's discussions.

Didn't the group of radical reformers outside say that if there is no reform, the "decay" rule of the royal family will be overthrown?
Okay, very good, so now the royal family will take the initiative to bring the federal people over and let what they think of as the "great federation" carry out reforms.

No matter what the outcome of the reform is, they can find no other reason to continue making trouble.

Moreover, not to mention the sluggish domestic market in Peng Jieao, many companies belonging to the imperial family or nobles are almost unable to operate.

Last year, almost 100 large enterprises went bankrupt, and millions of workers lost their jobs!

If the market is not revived and the radical reformers are not exerted, these unemployed people will be the first to stand up brandishing their weapons!
So in many ways, in the talks between the Penteio Empire and the Federation, some seemingly unrealistic contents are exactly what both sides need most now!

The Federation needs to have a certain degree of control over Peng Jieao, and Peng Jieao needs the Federation to help them get out of their current predicament.

As His Majesty the Emperor said, temporary pain is always temporary.

After the pain passes, everything will become more comfortable.

"What about...the opposition?" A minister asked a new question.

Behind these opposition groups is actually the support of the federal people. They are active in various regions with the slogan "overthrow the brutal royal rule and rescue the tens of thousands of people in Penteo".

The position of the rulers in some areas has become somewhat vacillating, which is also dangerous.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't even think about it. He waved his hand and said like he was slashing, "Kill, if you kill it completely, there will be no problem."

These fleas made him very unhappy, but there was nothing very good about it.

Soon the content of everyone's discussion came to how to "cooperate" with the work of the federal people.

"If we fully liberalize the market without any reservations, we are likely to face some new challenges like some countries and regions in the southern continent."

"Should we hold back on this issue?"

Peng Jieao is in charge of economic development is the Minister of Economy, Industry and Development, which is a bit of a mouthful, and is generally referred to as "Minister of Economy" or "Minister of Economy, Industry and Commerce" in local newspapers.

The question he mentioned is indeed worth thinking about. Many countries and regions in the Southern Continent have fully opened their markets to the Federation, but what is the result?
Some regions and countries have already completed, or have already established a certain industrial base.

But with the dumping of federal goods, their industrial efforts were completely ruined!

Because if we continue to develop industrial construction, not only will we not make money, but we will also suffer huge losses!
The simplest example is the development of industrial construction in the past. For example, there have been breakthroughs in certain mechanical technologies, resulting in lower cost products and higher corporate profits.

Such healthy development can promote industrial progress from top to bottom, because progress is profitable.

But with the Federals, even if they do their best to research and develop regardless of the consequences, the economic value of the technological achievements they develop will be far inferior to "imported products".

Then such a development will completely lose its "momentum".

Coupled with the fact that the federal government has made a big deal of "federal standards", low prices everywhere, and even sold industrial machines at a loss, resulting in a terrible industrial fault in these countries!

They possess the advanced industrial machines of the Federation, but it does not mean that their industrial level has improved, but it has regressed.

Because once they lose the technical support from the Federation, they will instantly return to what they were decades ago or even longer!
Even a screw may not be able to be produced!

The worries of the Minister of Economy are not without purpose, because this scene is very likely to happen in the Penteo Empire.

With the shamelessness and cunning of the Federation people, they must have prepared many plots to deal with this great empire!
