Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 806 806 Who is not selfish?

 In fact, Tang Mo never intended to bring any institutional changes to the world. From the beginning, he just wanted to become a businessman who could support himself.

But step by step, he reached his current position, becoming the emperor of an empire and the head of a huge financial group.

People are selfish, and Tang Mo is the same. He is not willing to instill capitalist thoughts into the world, forcefully pull the emperor off the throne, and then play with things like parliamentary elections.

He is not interested in that kind of thing at all. Even if there is a more mature system that he knows very well, he is not willing to share it with the people in this world.

Wouldn’t it be good for you to pass on your empire and wealth to your descendants? Who stipulates that a time traveler must be selfless?

 Even if his descendants cannot keep their own family property, it is still the incompetence of the descendants and has nothing to do with him, right?

Tang Mo just wants to live a good life guarding the beautiful woman next to him, dominate the world and become the person above others. As for other things, he didn't intend to consider them at all.

In this world, the implementation of more efficient monarchy and feudal centralization will encounter collective resistance from lords and nobles, not to mention the implementation of the so-called underworld system. That would bleed more and cost more.

Then what? What can Tang Mo bring to himself? At that time, the power in his hands will be constrained by the newly born ruling class, and his decisions will be vetoed by a new layer of power.

　　To implement that kind of decentralization system at this time is completely causing trouble for himself. He would rather change the dynasty after his death than hand over the power in his hands.

 Selfishness is human nature, and the same is true for Tang Mo. The founding emperors of the past dynasties had the opportunity to choose to change the system and hand over their power to the official class who relied on the selection system. Doing so would most likely preserve the eternity of wealth for future generations.

 But their ambitions did not allow them to retreat, so they were unwilling to hand over the power in their hands until their death, and still followed the tradition of Jiatianxia.

 In their view, retaining the throne and giving up imperial power was too cowardly and not in their interests. Therefore, they would rather let their children and grandchildren face the disaster of overthrowing their country than make concessions when the empire was at its peak.

 For the same purpose, or idea, Tang Mo has no intention of exporting any political ideas to the world. He rotted everything he knew in his heart, playing low-level royal power games with the natives of this world.

 He just randomly changed some systems and packaged the grassroots with modern systems, which was enough to defeat all the remaining countries in the world.

 Before World War I, the vast majority of advanced Europe was a monarchy, and most of them were not even constitutional monarchies.

At that time, Tsarist Russia had an emperor, the German Empire had an emperor, the British Empire also had an emperor, Italy also had a king, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the same...

 But this did not prevent European countries from entering modernization at all. They still completed industrialization and continued to go further and further on the road of technological development.

As for the **** so-called separation of powers system, it was a political structure drawn up in the lighthouse country when slavery was still in its primary stage, and it is far from advanced. To put it bluntly, there is no essential difference between that thing and the decentralized system of "Shang Shu Sheng, Menxia Sheng, and Zhongshu Sheng" under the imperial power.

What? You mean elections? That's even more of a huge joke. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the eldest brother Wang Mang was elected by the people. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the selection of scholars relied on recommendations from people around them. The recommended people needed to be recognized by the villagers in terms of moral character and ability...

Well, you can understand that if you wanted to be an official at that time, you had to have a good background (rich and famous or have a good father), have a good reputation in your hometown (get along well in a certain state), Then he was recommended to become an official (running for governor or president)...Does this process look familiar?

If anyone has time to compete with these nobles, lords and merchants who usually only want to exploit electoral loopholes to become superiors, then he should fight on his own. Tang Mo doesn’t think he has the time and energy to waste on this, so he We were not prepared to give these people any chance at all.

Do you think it’s unfair? Ask yourself if your neck is hard, and try to see if the bayonet blades of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty are sharp, that's all.

In Tang Mo's view, if an empire has a good emperor who can make correct decisions and allow his subordinates to run efficiently, there is actually nothing wrong with the feudal system.

The biggest problem with this system is actually that there are many good and bad heirs, and there is no guarantee that national leaders will always remain at a high level. However, this problem will not arise until Tang Mo dies, and it is no longer a problem that Tang Mo needs to consider.

To use a heart-breaking sentence to describe it is: after I die, I will not care about the flood.

 So the system currently implemented in the Tang State is a bit like the Erdezi—that is, the political system during the Second German Empire.

 One emperor had the final say, followed by the prime minister and a host of feudal departments. But further down these departments are the modern state structures, which can maximize the smoothness of the country's operations.

 The grassroots structure is a modern national system, which gives the Tang State huge mobilization capabilities and comprehensive national strength. A wise ruler is able to make correct decisions to steer the country's machine and guide the country's development direction.

 Er Dezi relied on the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck during his era. The Tang State did not have such a prime minister, but there was a cheat carrier like Tang Mo who had seen the "future development direction".

Of course, if compared with the level, Tang Mo himself may not be able to match Bismarck's scheming at the micro-management level, but Tang Mo also has his own advantages.

His advantage is Tang State's own strong national power. This is the backing for him to do whatever he wants. It ensures that even if Tang Mo makes some wrong decisions, Tang State can still rely on brute force to break the situation without causing overturning.

 This is something Bismarck could not do. Because in Bismarck's era, Britain was the world's number one power, and Germany was only the second in ten thousand years. But the Tang State is not second to none. The Tang State is truly the number one powerful country. It has the strongest industrial system, the most resources, and the most combat-effective army.

As the saying goes, Tang Mo's Caotai team may be slightly inferior in ability, but the weapons and technology they possess can help them make up for this gap.

This is a bit like the West's approach to China back then: You can use all kinds of strategies, and I just put a few cannons on the coastline to bombard them.

 …

 Feng Kezhi can already walk around, so he doesn't want to lie on the bed at all. He is now taking a train to Linshui to see the prosperity of the Tang Empire.

This is a mental journey to convince himself. He wants to take a look at the Tang country he is about to take refuge in, and think carefully about whether this Tang country is worth overturning his belief in the first half of his life.

 Everyone has his own persistence, whether he is a good person or a bad person. When the values ​​they established collapse, they will look for new values, establish new ideological support, and find a reason to live.

From this point of view, everyone has a strong ideological stamp, but everything they firmly believe in, that is, their faith, can easily collapse.

Some people's beliefs can be destroyed by huge amounts of money, and some people's beliefs can be destroyed by pornography. For masters like Feng Kezhi, their beliefs are not easily destroyed, but once they collapse, it will take longer to rebuild. .

 As Qian Jinhang said, he really saw a different scene. He stayed in Copper City for a few days, where he saw how spectacular and hot the real industrial base was.

The machines here roar every day, and the railways crisscross the city streets like fishing nets. There are chimneys everywhere, soot everywhere, and even people's clothes are covered with a layer of soot.

 But everything here is more pleasant than what he saw in the Dahua Empire. The children here are lively, the people here are smiling, and the sellers' cries are more rhythmic.

Everything in Copper City felt fresh to him. He even saw a brand-new refrigeration equipment here, which could allow the newly wealthy people in Copper City far inland to see the specialties caught in the ocean.

This was simply unimaginable in the past, but the latest technology has made the impossible possible. I heard that this kind of freezing technology can also preserve food for a long time. For a world that has not completely solved the food crisis, this is undoubtedly a technology worth promoting.

Since he had decided to stay, he was lucky enough to visit the Tang State tank production factory in Tongcheng. Even though he only visited the No. 4 tank production line, he was amazed by the advanced production technology of Tang State.

 This is no joke at all. Compared with the tank production of the Great China Empire, Tang's workshops are more standardized, the production speed is faster, and the technology is more advanced.

  It can be said responsibly that the industrial production level of the Tang State was completely superior to that of the Great China Empire, and the gap between the two sides was really as big as clouds and mud.

 Although now, this gap is not enough to widen the huge gap, and there seems to be no generational difference in the tanks used by the two countries in general. But one day, the cumulative gap will be large enough to change everything.

When Feng Kezhi was about to change trains to Linshui, he was shocked again: the speed of this section of railway had been accelerated, and the locomotive responsible for this section of railway transportation seemed to have used some brand-new technology.

 The new train is faster and has an even more amazing capacity. The entire first half of the train is composed of passenger carriages, and the second half actually has freight carriages. The long train is spectacular enough to look at.
