Azeroth’s Death Track

The spy captured by Alex Farm was interrogated all night, and finally confessed his informant in the Defias Federal District under the inducement magic, and the person who cooperated with him to smuggle into the Westfall was, as expected, the Veterans Union A member of the Westfall Chapter.

This result did not surprise anyone, even the leader of the Veterans Union, Mr. Maxwell, was not surprised at all.

Although in the reorganization three months ago, a group of soldiers who were most loyal to the king had been sent to northern Xinjiang, but in just 90 days, they still could not erase the imprint of royal power in people's hearts, and the big heads who were disarmed and returned to the fields Most of the soldiers are not good at thinking. They are often fooled by the spies hiding among the civilians, and they will make wrong decisions in a flash of their heads.

But unlike the previous attempts to assassinate, this time the spies played a bit too big, poisoning the rivers in the western wilderness, which has exceeded the bottom line that civilians can bear, so after this incident was leaked out, people in the entire western The wilderness is also buzzing.

Although most civilians don't want their lives planned by a group of dead people, it doesn't mean they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the cause of those distant kings. He was hanged on the execution platform of Sentinel Hill, and there were cheers below.

Mr. Maxwell, who was watching this scene, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

The people struggled to restart their lives after the disaster, and most of them missed King Varian in their hearts, but it is a pity that if the stupid nobles continue to behave like this, it is difficult to say that a year later, Whose side will the people of Westfall be on?

Van Rikoff, who was standing beside Maxwell, pulled down his hat, and there was an extra scar on his face. It was the scar left on him by an assassin two months ago, if it wasn't for the death around him at that time The knight guards blocked two swords for him. I am afraid that Mr. Van Cleef, the speaker of the Defias Federal District, has already killed himself.

General Maxwell still wore a bandage on his arm, which was also a commemoration left to him by a failed assassination. This general who was loyal to the king knew that he had become a traitor in the hearts of the nobles who fled far to the north. synonymous, but to be honest, he doesn't really care about these false names.

Because of his efforts, the 5,500 soldiers stationed throughout the Western Wilderness survived, and under the supervision of the Veterans Federation he led, although there were still some small acts of favoritism and fraud in the newly established federal government system, But most of the time, the decisions made by the parliament are based on the starting point of allowing the people to quickly restore life order.

In these three months, he has seen the efforts of the Council led by Van Cleef. The system was better, and for that alone, General Maxwell felt he could not blame Van Cleef.

This man is a true idealist, and he will devote his life to his ideals. So far, Van Cleef's ideals and General Maxwell's ideals are consistent.

So? What do you want me to do?

The middle-aged general sighed. He looked at the soldiers under his command, that is, the informant of the secret agent, sitting tremblingly on the open-air trial seat. Amidst the shouts of angry farmers, Sentinel Ridge Township The clerk, Sardin, acted as a judge and announced the trial of the soldier who had done something wrong. He would be deprived of his civil rights and put into the mine to work for 5 years. This is already a very serious punishment.

The general doubted whether his soldiers could survive the difficult five years in the mine.

But...you have to pay the price for doing something wrong, and Maxwell himself couldn't open his mouth to intercede for him.

You might write a letter, in your own name.

Seeing that the trial was over, Van Cleef turned around and walked to his carriage. General Maxwell followed behind him, and he heard the busy Great Speaker whisper:

In your name, I would like to advise my noble friends from the past. If they want to challenge this new order, they should do so in an upright manner, and don't engage in such disgraceful little actions... One of them is loyal to their king, but Their stupid behavior will only drive the civilians to His Majesty Tyrion's side faster, which is not what you want to see, right?

The Great Speaker sat in the carriage and accompanied the coachman to drive the sluggish horses around. Before leaving, Van Cleef opened the window of the carriage and warned Maxwell:

In addition, recently let those dishonest veterans under your command be quiet. Starting tomorrow, the Federation will concentrate its efforts to hunt down and attack these spies hidden among the people. You are also one of the members, Maxwell, you have also heard The representatives of the civilian population of Red Ridge Mountain and the foreman of the Fargody Mine spoke angrily in the city hall. The rampant sabotage activities of those spies have affected the normal life and business activities of the civilian population...but seriously, I may have to Thank them.

Van Cleef smiled gently:

They're pushing us closer to civilians.

The Great Speaker's carriage slowly disappeared into the road in the middle of the newly reclaimed cultivated land in the western wilderness. General Maxwell, wearing the military uniform with the general's insignia removed, stood on the high slope of Sentinel Hill, looking at the farmland under the setting sun. The golden sun shone on the ground, and this scene brought the general back to the era when the Stormwind Kingdom was rebuilt a few years ago.

That era was also like this, full of new vitality, just like the golden age, but occasionally seeing death knights patrolling along the road, those order maintainers who were incompatible with the living, made the general's good mood disappear without a trace.

He snorted coldly, climbed into the carriage, and shouted to the driver:

Go to City Hall, and also, invite Congressman Gore and Reverend Stallman to dinner at my house tonight, and just say, I have something to discuss with them.

—————————————————

The Defias Federation Council is a complex organization. It is theoretically the supreme governing body of the Defias Federation District, which includes the four provinces of Elwynn Forest, Westfall, Duskwood, and Redridge Mountains. It has 13 permanent members. , the living occupy 7 seats, and the dead occupy 6 seats, which can ensure that there will be no such bad results as the same vote in any necessary decision-making vote.

And under the Federal Parliament, there is also a Senate, which has civilian representatives and business representatives from the newly divided 34 townships, a total of 40 people, who are collectively elected by each town and chamber of commerce, and have a fixed term. A meeting is held every half month to discuss some issues and decisions raised by members of parliament. After 40 members of parliament make a decision, the approved issues will be submitted to the Federal Assembly for voting by 13 members of parliament.

In addition to the two parliaments dubbed the upper and lower houses by the common people, there is also a complex and huge management system. Van Cleef has met Tyrion several times and discussed with him the establishment of the new system, and Tyrion also gave him I received Van Cleef's helpful constructive comments. In short, this management system is still just a show. After all, it has only existed for 3 months, and the actual administrative process is not the same as Van Cleef once imagined.

The people who chose to stay in the old place did not understand this new system, and the officials selected from the common people had never had management experience, which led to very low administrative efficiency and too many complicated affairs waiting to be dealt with. This makes Van Cleef very tired almost every day.

He had never imagined that managing the country was such a complicated matter. Of course, he could also choose the way the Wrynn royal family ruled in the past, that kind of extensive management model that only cared about taxes and food, but that Not what Van Cleef wanted.

During the three-month run-in, the problems that arose in the early stages of the establishment of the new system were solved one by one, and with the process of national land redistribution coming to an end, the most basic credibility of the new government among the people has been established. Thanks to the tax exemption policy for the first year, even though many civilians still have doubts in their hearts, the situation of fleeing from their places of residence has become less and less.

The poll just concluded this month also showed that one in five civilians are willing to continue their lives under the new system. Although this is still a minority, it is much better than the messy situation at the beginning. It also allowed Van Cleef to see hope, and at the same time, in the exhaustion, he had a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment of his own.

These are all achievements under the leadership of the Federal Parliament!

This is the summary of the situation in the Defias Federal District for three months.

Van Cleef was sitting in the Blood Raven Tavern in the Twilight Forest. He took a deep breath, closed the note in his hand, and looked at Tyrion Dawnblade opposite him. In Van Cleef's eyes, there was a bit of uneasiness, like The same is true for students who are about to be evaluated by their tutors on their test scores.

Well, it didn't go as smoothly as I expected, but it's not bad.

The Dark Blade King glanced at Van Cleef, who was not very good-looking, and there was a hint of teasing in his cold voice:

What? Mr. Great Speaker, do you still expect me to praise you? After the Stormwind Kingdom moved north, there were only 130,000 civilians left in the Federal District. In three months, you only won one-fifth of them. People’s initial recognition, including a large part of the beneficiaries of the new system, so this is not an excellent achievement, right?”

Our officials are all civilians. Just letting them learn simple writing and management within 3 months has already made my brain ache.

Van Cleef complained with a wry smile:

This is still when Congressman Maxwell and Congressman Gore took the initiative to arrange some military officers to join the management system. You told me before that education is the foundation of a stable rule. Now I finally understand. I can't let a big word Unknown soldiers become mayors, and villages in remote areas are still outside our management system...Our rule is not stable, I know that.”

The Great Speaker took a deep breath, looked up at Tyrion, his eyes sparkled with brilliance:

But at least things are getting better, not worse. We have proved that we can live well without the king.

So I'd say overall it's not that bad.

Tyrion threw the booklet in his hand on the table, looked at Van Cleef, and said:

But this is the beginning, living ones, and you have a long way to go. Your senate seems to me to be more of a symbol than a toy, and I want to remind you that as a ruler, you need to know At this point, what the people need is not only food and clothing, but also the need to be valued, and to put it more bluntly, they hope that their voices will be heard!

A House of Commons of 40?

Tyrion smiled:

I can understand that you want your parliament to be filled with people of prestige, but that's not enough! It's not enough for the people to feel that they can influence the country's policy... the pleasure, well, that's what it means, when A farmer with a humble background can one day become a member of parliament, a decent person in the eyes of others, and can pass the views of the people around him on the country to the ruling core, and thus change the entire country, the people Only then can you feel the biggest difference between your new system and the previous king's rule.

The death knight knocked on the table and said softly:

The new system will give them unlimited possibilities in life, and the foundation of the ruling parliament comes from the people, and the House of Commons directly represents the will of the people. When the majority of the people realize that they are not only the constituents of the country, but also the masters of the country. Do you think he would give back what he owns to a king he may never see in his life, just because he claims his blood is nobler?

It's hated to take something precious from someone else, Van Cleef.

Tyrion drank a glass of wine, stood up, looked at the thoughtful Great Speaker in front of him, and said in a low voice:

Since the people cannot understand the most important gift we give them, that is, freedom and dignity, then as a ruler, you must find a way to make the people understand this, the joy of freedom, and the value of dignity.

Putting his hand on VanCleef's shoulder, he lowered his voice:

You don't need to take a big step every step, as long as you can ensure that you are always walking on the right path, I didn't choose you randomly, I believe you can do this, and this will be my last time Opinion on the dominion of the living, VanCleef, my leisure time as lord of the dead is over, and I shall turn my attention to more important matters.

But I still need your help! We need your great wisdom!

Van Cleef hurriedly stood up, trying to save Tyrion, the Dark Blade King looked back at him, and shook his head:

You have your mission, and I have mine...

Go forward bravely, Van Cleef, you have surpassed your own destiny, and you have taken the most difficult step. There is nothing in this world that can stop you.
