Chapter 1093 Earth Federation
It does sound reasonable. No matter whether the colonial people are ignorant or not, as long as they can use it well, it will be more efficient than what the Spaniards are doing now.

But it lacks humanity, just like when talking about various means of production, it is based entirely on utilization efficiency, with basically no consideration of human emotions. It sounds even colder than the Spanish.

Is it right to think and act this way? It is too hard to judge. It may be right in the short term, but what about a few years, a dozen years, or even decades later? But since we cannot see clearly what will happen in decades, is it right not to make changes now?

"Can I have one too? Mr. Kepler said it can help calm the brain quickly."

After sitting across the table from each other for several minutes, Kadir finally spoke, but it had nothing to do with the topic. His brain, which was much faster than an average person's, was not spinning fast enough and needed help.

"Go get a thin box!" Hong Tao did not open the cigar box, but asked Wang Chengen to get another one.

It's not stingy, it's thoughtful. I'm an old smoker, and the cigars I smoke are strong and powerful. Not to mention people who don't smoke much, even ordinary smokers can't stand it.

"Even if I can trust your ability and credibility, how can such a large empire be effectively managed? If you cannot rule it effectively, it is likely to fall apart like Rome did in the past. The speed of collapse will be many times faster than the speed of construction. What's the point?"

After smoking half a cigar, Descartes sorted out his thoughts. He found that instead of arguing about whether the emperor had the ability to unify the world, it would be better to discuss the management model in depth. The latter would be more difficult. If there was a solution, the former would not be a problem.

"You misunderstood me again. I don't want to be the emperor of all mankind without unifying the world. Order, what I want is to establish order and let all countries operate under the same order. I don't want to overthrow all rulers. That is indeed too arrogant.

This is how I envision it. We will first use strong military and economic power to intimidate countries into complying with the order. Then, representatives from various countries will sit together to discuss and work out a whole set of more complete new order, which will serve as the norms that all regions and countries must abide by in the future.

When these two steps are completed, we can start to establish a global institution that transcends governments and royal families, such as the Earth Federation Parliament. It does not interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, but controls the only army and arms manufacturing industry on Earth.

Yes, it is the only army. At that time, all countries will disband their armies and stop manufacturing arms, and all issues concerning their own security will be decided by the Earth Federation Parliament.

In this way, the risk of war is minimized, and countries no longer have to worry about being invaded by neighboring countries, and can devote more financial, material and human resources to production and research. "

Hong Tao spoke calmly, as if he was discussing the taste of a cigar, and there was no fanaticism in his eyes. Because there was nothing to be fanatical about. If you want to be the Earth for a lifetime, you can achieve it, which is easier. There is no need to do it again.

In previous lives, he had tried many ways to completely resolve conflicts between humans, but none of them worked. This time, he planned to do the opposite, no longer decentralizing power, but starting with centralization, first establishing a one-man rule, and see how it works.

In fact, what he was going to do was not new, and it had been done before. After the First World War, the victors established the League of Nations in order to balance the interests of all parties and reduce disputes and wars. Unfortunately, it was not very successful, and another world war broke out in less than 20 years. Therefore, after the war, the victorious countries established the United Nations, and any country that accepted the UN Charter could join.

Compared with the League of Nations, the United Nations is indeed much more mature and has played some positive roles. However, as time goes by, conflicts between countries gradually deepen, and this international cooperation organization gradually loses its due role.

Should there be an organization for all mankind? Hong Tao thinks it is definitely necessary. Aristotle said that humans are social creatures, but he was only half right. In fact, humans are flawed social creatures.

Why do I say this? It's simple. Ants, bees, and wolves are also social creatures. They have a clear division of labor and sophisticated social cooperation. From caring for young to building ant nests, they show a high degree of organization and collaboration.

In addition to possessing the same characteristics, humans are also very antisocial, the most obvious manifestation of which is the struggle for power, for which they are willing to risk the destruction of their own race.

This trait is not seen in other social biological groups, so it is very necessary to have an organization at the human level to suppress this behavior.

The reason why the League of Nations and the United Nations did not play the role they should have was not because of the wrong direction, but because of their lack of strength. Neither the League of Nations nor the United Nations had high coercive means from the day they were established.

Relying solely on the provisions of the Charter, endorsed by major powers, may be sufficient to deal with small and poor countries, but when facing major and powerful countries, this set of rules is nothing but empty talk.

Why are the police called a powerful agency? Because they have the power to enforce the law and can arrest anyone who breaks the rules, so they can play a role in maintaining social order. If the police can only educate and criticize verbally, not many people will listen.

By the same token, if the League of Nations and the United Nations had coercive means that no government could resist, no country or government would dare to challenge them.

As for whether mistakes will happen, that is for sure. No one is 100% correct as long as they are human. But we cannot abolish the police just because we are afraid of false cases. The right approach is to continuously improve the rules and supervision mechanism to reduce mistakes to the minimum. But there still have to be mistakes. It is unrealistic to completely eliminate them. This is also one of the costs.

What Hong Tao wanted to do in his life was to build a strengthened version of the United Nations. How strong should it be? According to his idea, at least it should be in a completely overwhelming position in terms of military strength.

It's not easy to do, right? It doesn't matter, he has a way. Since it's not easy to significantly increase the military power, why not change the idea and significantly reduce the military power of each country? Isn't that the same?
If this can be realized, the Earth Federation Parliament will not be a dispensable place where people curse each other. Instead, it will be the only powerful organization on Earth with an army, or the world police, who will arrest and punish anyone who breaks the rules.

By then, wars can be fundamentally eliminated, because countries do not have armies, and they cannot organize village fights. Moreover, large-scale fights are considered violations and will be punished by the Federal Parliament.
