Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 123:
Among the heads of state, there are also more than one applauding the new policy of the Northwestern Republic.
For example, the chief executive officer of the Dhaka Business League was applauded in the conference hall.
“Good! Good! Good! Good! What a good idea!” He laughed, happily as he did when he first took the stage, “Why didn’t I think of this good idea! It really deserves to be your Majesty the Void Mask.” , The wisdom is far-reaching, beyond imagination!”
Another great consul asked wonderingly: “Your Excellency, what is so good about this policy?”
“Yes, then, what is the difference between aristocrats and common people?”
“I think there is something wrong with this policy.”
“I also think…”
The Chief Executive sighed and looked at your colleagues: “Do you really think there is a problem with this policy?”
His face looked like a smile but not a smile. There was a cunning with insight into human nature: “Here are all his own people, and there is no need to pretend or anything. Everyone said in conscience, do you really think this policy is bad?”
The great consuls were silent. They looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them put away the look of wondering, doubting, or grinning.
“Actually… there is nothing wrong with it.”
“Yeah, if I had encountered this kind of thing when I hadn’t made a lot of money back then…”
“It’s too late!”
These elders who have relied on their own efforts or the progress of history to step into the circle of the supreme ruler of a country have uttered such sighs.
The Dhaka Merchant League is a pure merchant country. It does not have a strong noble power like the Gold Coin Federation, but almost completely follows the commercial route. Because it was defeated by the Secret Fata Federation in the early days of the founding of the country, and even destroyed its national defense force, this country is a bit deformed and has not been able to develop a traditional rule of lordship. All regions are governed by a combination of small nobles and merchants. As for the great nobles…The Secret Tower Federation itself has only Marquis, and the only one who can entrust the Dakar Merchant League is the Earl.
In the beginning, the nobleman who relied on various methods to become an earl wanted to flex his muscles, and even took the entire country into his own hands, like the Duke of Thunder. But he obviously thought too much. It didn’t take long for him to die in a “little accident” and his whole family died. Even the illegitimate child with the maid did not escape.
The death of Lord Earl was naturally a big case and many people were involved. Since then, there have been several earls in the Dhaka Merchant League, but without exception, all of them died shortly after being canonized, and no one could keep them.
Even, as long as it is a nobleman who wants to consolidate his rule and build his territory into a traditional model, no one can survive for a year.
In the end, the nobles of this country gave up the idea of continuous improvement and turned to compromise with the merchants.
The nobles do not seek a powerful rule, and the merchants respect the privileges of the nobles. Everyone must restrain their own impulse to control everything in order to form a delicate balance.
Yes, balance.
Balance based on two powerful external forces.
An external force is naturally the Secret Tower Federation. As the overlord of the Dhaka Merchant League, it is a great backer for all the nobles. Whenever a noble is attacked, the Secret Tower Federation will come forward to support the nobles.
Another external force comes from a certain existence-or a certain group of people that everyone has not figured out for hundreds of years. They have a deep hatred of noble rule, or instinctive antipathy, so whether they want to become a great noble or want to consolidate their rule, they will be brutally attacked by him or them.
Under the mutual influence of these two forces, the current Dhaka Merchant League was formed.
The country with the weakest aristocratic rule in the world—of course, that was before the establishment of the Northwest Republic.
The establishment of the Northwest Republic made the rulers of the Dhaka Merchant League shine. They discovered for the first time that the original state can still be republic, and the nobles can be completely deprived of their power, and a thorough merchant state can be established.
However, the nobles of the Dhaka Business League are canonized by the Secret Tower Federation, and no one dares to do this at the risk of angering the powerful Secret Tower Federation.
However, the civil turmoil in the Mita Federation of the past few years has given the chief consuls of the Dhaka Commercial League a little opportunity, or a hint of “opportunity”.
The strength of the Secret Tower Federation originates from three parts.
First of all, it is the mystery **** system with the master of mysteries as the core. In this world, only if you have a big boss over your head, you can talk about being powerful. Otherwise, no matter how powerful it is in the world of mortals, facing those higher levels of existence, it is nothing more than a group of ants who are self-defeating.
Secondly, there is a group of legendary wizards with the core of “the Supreme Mage” Master Imia Lamperus. This is almost the most powerful high-end force in the human world, which is comparable to the sanctuary of the orc empire. The north and the south reflect each other, and it also has the status of a hegemon.
Finally, it is an organization of wizards with the 28 magic towers of the Secret Tower Federation as its core. This organization has a strong dominance and mobilization power, and it has continuously cultivated a large number of outstanding young mages. Faced with it, even if it can temporarily gain the upper hand, it will surely slowly lose out over time.
In the face of such a powerful Secret Tower Federation, the chief consuls of the Dhaka Merchant League have never dared to raise the slightest idea of confrontation.
But… the mystery **** system has collapsed, Master Lamperus is dead, and the mage organization is also showing a tendency to disintegrate as the legendary mages become more and more alienated.
Not long ago, even in the Twenty-Eight Tower of the Secret Method, several declared independence, or at least they were in fact independent although they were not announced.
Located in the border, the four-city alliance based on Grey Tower City, the holy city of the Church of the God of Scholars; located in the main traffic road, Jinta City, a commercial center in the north-central part of the Federation; and although the place is nothing special, there are two The legendary magic tower and the Mill City of three legendary wizards~IndoMTL.com~ These three places are more important than one, but they all broke away from the rule system of the Secret Tower Federation. In response to this, the Secret Tower Federation either pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not respond, or it failed to get results after tossing with great fanfare.
The overlord who ruled the south of the main plane is indeed weakened.
Because of the obvious weakness of the Mystic Tower Federation, its two vassal states, the Principality of Thunder and the Dhaka Merchant League, have developed the idea of self-reliance.
We will not mention the matter of the Thunder Principality for the time being. Here in the Dhaka Business League, the chief consul has discussed this topic more than once.
But they came to the conclusion that unless the Church of the Goddess of Fortune can move its headquarters from the Gold Coin Federation to the Card Merchant League, it will probably not work.
Of course, there are legendary powerhouses in the Dhaka Business League, but they are not many. If you face the Secret Tower Federation, you will definitely not be able to win.
…Even if you win, you can’t fight! Merchants are seeking wealth and destroying their country in ruins. What is the point of being independent?
So even if they are not reconciled, they can only let go of the idea of independence for the time being.
But… This time the Northwest Republic gave the civilians surnames, the chief consul was a little moved.
Through this policy, let’s test the current strength of the Secret Fata Federation to the nobles. How about?
After some discussions, these old and cunning business leaders finally reached a consensus.
Wait a little longer, as long as other countries follow up, they will follow up immediately.
In short, the early bird can’t do it, the second place is not good, and the third place is very appropriate.
If Professor Cheng was here when Sui Xiong was in college, he would sneer and criticize him when he heard their discussion: “Scheming for big things and cherishing your life, you are talking about this kind of person!”
