Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 653 The light boat has passed Wanzhongshan

  After the dispute over tanks, the civil and military ministers were unwilling to intensify the conflict. The atmosphere in the court discussion eased a bit, and some irrelevant issues were thrown out for decision-making before the imperial government, but they were all in peace.

  After nearly two hours of discussion, a number of consensuses were reached.

   is near the end

  Tian Shan, Minister of Justice, stood up and bowed to salute, and Qi Zuo said; "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the minister has one thing to ask the holy judge."

   "I love Qing but it's okay to say."

"Your Majesty, as a large number of demobilized soldiers have returned to their hometowns or resettled in southern states recently, hundreds of vicious gun-related cases have occurred one after another. Many demobilized soldiers are accustomed to rudely speaking with guns, and often small things will happen. The consequences of bloodshed and death. In particular, the "Baron’s Massacre" in Wollongong caused a huge impact. This was caused by the chaos of gun management. Therefore, the minister requested the introduction of a gun ban bill to curb the spread of vicious gun-related cases. To fight against lawlessness and maintain social stability and peace."

  After finishing speaking, Tian Shan presented the thick memorial that he had already prepared. The royal attendant had already picked it up and presented it to the imperial court with both hands.

  Li Fushou didn't look through the memorial immediately, his slender fingers gently tapped the armrest of the throne. Those familiar with the habits of His Majesty the King knew that he was thinking.

  Wollongong’s “Baron’s Massacre” was reported in the newspapers, which had a great impact on society and gave the public a different view of the veterans.

  Dragon has nine sons, each is different.

Among the   Chinese immigrants, there are also many violent, cruel and murderous people. After experiencing an unprecedented North-South campaign, many militia-like divisions were disbanded on the spot, and officers and soldiers were sent back to their hometowns for their own resettlement.

The baronial nobleman of Wollongong was the deputy commander of the militia division. The fiefdom was divided into the Wollongong area. After retiring from active service, he was sitting on a large amount of fortune, his wife and family, because his personality was not restrained, so he was caught by a group of veterans. Stared at it.

  So tragedy happened. Late at night, this group of veterans broke into Mr. Baron’s newly-acquired mansion, killed all 17 people at the door, and plundered all the gold and silver.

  In fact, it didn’t go far. The 6 veterans who committed the murder soon were all arrested and put on the gallows.

  People are dead, but the aftermath of the bad influence caused by the "Baron Murder Case" has not dissipated for a long time.

  This is just one of many vicious cases involving guns. Li Fushou himself is also responsible. He has always advocated that the people inherit the strong heroic style of the Han and Tang dynasties, cling to the iron bones, and allow the folk propaganda to advocate the brave style, inspiring the blood of Hua Xia Erlang.

   Now that blood is enough, the society is also full of a kind of male hormonal taste around the corner, shouting and screaming at every turn.

  For example, New Zealand, not far from next door, has been living tremblingly in the shadow of Australia.

  London Cabinet Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecile therefore sent a letter to King Li Fushou, asking Li Fushou to make a solemn promise in the name of the King; he will never invade and occupy New Zealand without reason.

  Unfortunately, Li Fushou can only solemnly promise in his reply that Ocean Kingdom and New Zealand will always be good neighbors.

  Even so, it cannot dispel London’s doubts.

  Because the Chinese population in New Zealand now has a majority, how many of them are secretly instructed by the Ocean Kingdom, and no one can tell.

  When it comes to emigration, London can not keep up with the nearby Ocean Kingdom.

  King Li Fushou thought about it and said;

  "Tian Aiqing said about the ban on guns, I hope the cabinet will come up with a charter.

  Everything is too late. The tone of the propaganda should be softened. The keynote is to promote economic development, people's livelihood restoration, national integration, and harmony and co-prosperity. Today, peace is the main keynote, and there is less talk about killings.

  The Spaniards on Luzon Island in the south, and the Dutch on Java Island in the west have expressed their anxiety through various channels, oh... and New Zealand.

  The neighbors are uneasy, it seems that our image is a bit bad!

  Ask the Prime Minister of the Cabinet to take the lead and unite the various ministries to build a good image of maintaining regional peace and stability.

  As for the ban on guns, it will be discussed by the parliament. In my opinion, the safety of urban residents has sufficient guarantee. There is no need to carry guns. Pastures and farms are infringed by wild animals, so certain weapons are needed to ensure the safety of property. This has to be considered.

  As for the details of which are left to the parliament for debate, it can also mobilize the public to participate and increase the people’s sense of ownership.

  After all, this is a major event related to everyone's vital interests. Only after full discussion and full listening to the different opinions of all parties can we come up with a proper plan. "

   "Your Majesty Shengming." Prime Minister Xin Changjun, Earl Xin Changjun, quickly stood up and bowed to take his orders.

   "If there is nothing else to do, then this court meeting is over, and they should be separated."

   "The ministers will send you your majesty."

  All the ministers of civil and military affairs stood up and bowed to salute.

  Li Fushou stood up, waved his hand, walked off the high throne and left in strides, leaving only a majestic and tall back.

A total ban on guns is a big topic. Judging from the current situation in Australia, it is obviously unrealistic. The hare flooding in the entire southern region cannot be contained without guns. The hares digging holes everywhere cause great damage to the pasture. , This will definitely affect Australia's most fundamental industry-the wool industry.

  Part of the ban on guns is questionable. Most urban residents have no rigid demand for guns. Gun bans have been implemented in metropolises such as Red River Valley and Brisbane. The actual effect is quite good and can be further promoted.

The trouble is that small and medium-sized and remote towns have a certain demand for guns. How to determine the scope of the ban on guns and the standards for gun permits needs to be explored in practice and summed up a complete set of implementation experience. This is not anxious, let alone blunt. Adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.

  Xianju Temple

   took off the crown and put on light and loose clothes, Li Fushou picked up the tea cup and drank a few sips of water, and his whole body looked refreshed.

After successfully passing through the danger of the Civil War, Li Fushou seemed to be relieved of a tens of thousands of pounds, his eyebrows were no longer tightly locked, his face often showed long-lost smiles, his meal was delicious, and his former vitality was restored. .

  He can't tell people, how does it feel to be under the suffocating pressure?

  When he learned that the third battle fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire stationed in Calcutta had sent a squadron, his heart was really shrouded in great fear, and he couldn't sleep at night.

For an industrial economy like Australia, which is based on export-oriented ocean-going trade, there has never been a self-sufficient argument. Just a trade blockade is enough to plunge the Australian economy into the abyss and usher in a terrible chain reaction. .

  If this extreme situation is really encountered, Li Fushou can only break the can and order the Red Sea Tianjiao Fortress to completely cut off the European and Asian trade routes of the British Empire.

  It’s a big deal to hurt each other, who is afraid of whom!

  Now it’s all right, the light boat has passed Wanzhong Mountain, the great ship of Ocean Kingdom sailed through the turbulent waves enough to overturn it, and ushered in a calm voyage, and finally you can breathe a sigh of relief.

  Li Fushou plans to take his wife, concubine and children to the Songjiang Palace for a period of time next month, away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, the climate is cooler and more pleasant, suitable for vacation to relax and enjoy the fun of life.

There are no specific statistics on the total amount spent in this war, but Li Fushou has a spectrum in his mind. In addition to the 30 million pounds prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the bank loan more than 23 million pounds is almost used. In addition to the levied special war tax of over 5.8 million pounds, the cost of the war before and after is about 58 million to 60 million pounds.

Among them, the headcount expenditure is the largest. The huge army of more than 600,000 people has spent more than £40 million on food and clothing, weapons and equipment, military rewards, as well as medical and health expenditures and war-injury pension expenditures, which is 67 per capita. Around the pound.

In addition, there are munitions and ammunition, logistical expenses, etc. Fortunately, most of the merits of the officers and soldiers are allocated free of charge from the occupied areas of the southern state, and the nobles also grant rewards to the beneficiaries. It really saves a lot of money, or it really makes a big deficit. NS.

  The war in the feudal kingdom is like this. The monarch is the leader of the war and the biggest beneficiary. Of course, the main funds for launching the war must be paid by the royal family. This is a common practice in Europe.

The Spanish royal family was involved in the successive years of melee between the princes of the Federal Republic of Germany and spent the huge wealth acquired by the colonization of South America as a stream, but did not use it to feed back the domestic economy and the construction of people’s livelihood. Therefore, the rapid decline of the Spanish empire is the most important thing. Typical negative example.

  There are many monarchs that went bankrupt in the feudal royal family of Europe because they were involved in successive wars. The French Bourbon dynasty was among them, which eventually led to the demise of the Bourbon dynasty. The lesson is not unfathomable.

  Fortunately, the Civil War was controlled within an acceptable scale. Li Fushou did not need to worry about bankruptcy. The money would be made back within two or three years, which is not a big problem.

  The big problem is solved, but there are still some small things that annoy Li Fushou.

  One of them is that the Citi government envoy to Australia has been staring at the back of the **** and buzzing, mainly because there is no problem with Americans in Australia participating in the war, property and life safety issues are entangled, and even want to go to the southern state to go on-site inspection.

  How is that possible?

  The graves of these Americans are probably three feet tall. Not to mention that Li Fushou can’t change people now. Even if he changes people, he won’t allow the Citi State minister to make trouble.

  There is no other way, you can only use the word "drag" Dafa;

I’m very sorry, Mr. Minister, due to the chaotic public security situation in the Southern State, your personal safety cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, it is not recommended that you visit the Southern State at this time. We can arrange for you to visit Darwin and take a look at the scenery there. very beautiful.

  Sorry, dear Minister, His Majesty the King has no time to meet you recently. Please wait for the specific date to be notified.

  Sorry, dear minister, we understand your eagerness very well, but due to the large loss of relevant materials due to the war, we cannot give you accurate information. Now the social order is slowly recovering, please wait patiently.
