Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The above only represents spiritual wealth. After the three military regions of Luoyang, Qilu, and Yanjing were united and the central government acquired all the wealth of the Kong family and the Li family of Yanjing, under Mo Mo's planning, the commercial and management systems of the three military regions were quickly revitalized. At the same time, the three military regions were able to truly communicate and trade freely.

The Luoyang Military Region had not had such a sufficient supply of civilian goods for many years. In addition, the central government, which had the power to print money, had secured the massive wealth accumulated by the two powerful families over countless years as a guarantee, allowing the printing presses to operate at full capacity.

The central government, with its abundant funds, naturally distributed them through legitimate means. As a result, the compensation for all those who served the government was quite generous, and in this way, every hardworking person in Luoyang had money in their hands.

With money comes abundant resources; with aspirations comes spiritual fulfillment; and with a strong army protecting them comes a sense of security. Given these multiple reasons, if the people of Luoyang are still unhappy, then they must be truly ill with unhappiness.

Having learned all this, the Britannian journalists set aside their prejudices and faithfully relayed it to the world. After a brief silence, the world was immediately flooded with accusations of fabrication and lies, nearly drowning out all other opinions.

However, the Britannian press corps didn't care about the world's opinions. This time they were on the orders of the First Prince, and all they had to do was report the facts. Who would dare to put pressure on them except the Emperor?

This arrogance and prejudice against the Chinese Empire did not last long, because the highly anticipated press conference, which everyone knew was about to announce something big, was soon approaching.

This was destined to be a major event, because when the journalists from Britannia entered the press conference, they immediately discovered that there were a lot of important figures in attendance.

There's no need to elaborate on the three giants of Luoyang: the old emperor, the brilliant strategist Mo Mo, and the eunuch prime minister Gao Hai. These three are undoubtedly the backbone of Luoyang.

Besides them, the current leaders of the five major military regions—Loulan Military Region, Western Region Military Region, Tubo Military Region, Inner Tatar Military Region, and Outer Tatar Military Region—also gathered at this press conference. It seems that the previous news that the five major military regions simultaneously announced their support for the central government was not false.

Several members of the press corps had some military knowledge, and the mere fact that they knew the current state of the Chinese Empire was enough to make them gasp in astonishment.

Although these five military regions are relatively backward, with small populations and weak military forces, in terms of area alone, they account for half of the current Chinese Empire, or even more.

With the addition of the three central military regions, the central government's power reached eight military regions, and the seemingly weak central government immediately turned the tide!

Even if these five military regions, where ethnic minorities live in concentrated communities, cannot provide much actual assistance, this show of force is enough to give local forces a headache.

What exactly is it, or what conditions, that have such allure that led the leaders of these five military regions to firmly stand on the side of the central government?

Soon, they found out the answer.

The first item on the agenda was the affairs of the five military regions. As the host of the press conference, Mo Mo personally announced a new national policy that he had proposed and that had impressed the leaders of the five military regions.

The system of regional ethnic autonomy in the Chinese Empire.

Momo undoubtedly stood on the shoulders of giants once again, borrowing this great system. It was this system that exerted tremendous cohesion in the new China of Momo's previous life, enabling the ethnic minority compatriots to fully identify with the new China and integrate into the big family of the new China.

In this world, what our ethnic minority brothers yearn for is actually the same: simply put, to live together in equality and to be in charge of our own destiny.

This system fully meets their needs and ensures its perpetual existence through institutional and legal means.

Currently, the ethnic regional autonomy system proposed by Mo Mo is based on maintaining the unity of the Chinese Empire, under the leadership of the central government, and on the basis of areas where ethnic minorities live in large numbers. It establishes corresponding autonomous organs, sets up autonomous organs, exercises autonomous rights, and independently manages the internal affairs of their own ethnic groups and regions, exercising the right to be masters of their own affairs.

Despite the significant weakening of their military power, Momo used his trading power to ensure that their wealth would not be shaken. At the same time, Momo revealed his future development plans for the Chinese Empire to them. As long as they could cooperate with Momo, the unprecedentedly developing Chinese Empire and countless riches awaited them.

Of course, the power of fists is also important. When Momo showed them the new armed forces that were gradually taking shape on the central side, the last bit of resistance in the hearts of these leaders disappeared.

Since some things are beyond our control, we can only put on a smile and quietly accept them.

The formal announcement of the system of regional ethnic autonomy as a system drew gasps of surprise from the Britannian press corps, who immediately recognized its value.

Currently, the two great empires in the world, the Chinese Empire and Britannia, and even the EU, share a common headache: their vast territories result in a large and complex number of ethnic groups, religions, cultures, and beliefs, some of which are even hostile to each other.

In such a situation, how to maintain order in the entire country is a difficult problem.

Britannia's direct implementation of the numbering system was essentially treating the countries and regions they invaded as colonies, using force and killing to oppress everything, and using the system of honoring Britannians and other similar systems to divide the hearts and minds of the colonies and weaken resistance.

However, such rule was bound to be unstable, as evidenced by the numerous rebellions that broke out in the Britannian colonies.

The Chinese Empire operates under a federal system, with most countries outside the Chinese Empire being largely autonomous. While this system prevents hatred between the Chinese Empire and other nations, it is too loosely structured. If the Chinese Empire were to weaken, the collective independence of the various federal states would be almost inevitable.

As for the EU, it has a grand parliament system where countless members represent the interests of countless forces. If something happens, everyone avoids war and fighting, and instead negotiates and divides the spoils at the negotiating table.

However, moving the battle from the battlefield to the conference room is not necessarily a good system. The discussion time for even the smallest matter is measured in months. Every policy of the EU is a case of predecessors digging holes and successors not filling them, leaving all sorts of messes everywhere.

First update

131 Conferring of military titles and seals

The systems of the three major powers each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and each has its own problems, which are inseparable from the respective histories and cultures of the three powers.

There has never been a perfect system that can truly resolve these conflicts.

But now, the novel system proposed by this brilliant strategist Mo Mo seems to have given the whole world a glimmer of hope.

To put it simply, this system is not hard to understand. It means that everyone is under the same framework, abides by the same fundamental law and constitution, obeys the same supreme leader, unites on major issues, handles their own affairs, and sits down to discuss matters with each other.

Seeing through everything isn't anything too mysterious, but among human beings, who can truly let go of arrogance and prejudice and treat others with an equal mindset?

Mo Mo did just that. Not only did he succeed, but the Emperor and Gao Hai also acknowledged it and agreed to the measure.

Thus, with the central government's confirmation, the Chinese Empire achieved this. The results were immediately apparent; the five military regions, unable to resist the temptation, chose to support the central government, on the condition that the system be truly implemented.

With the system pioneered by Momo, perhaps the world's future landscape will... be somewhat different?

After the reports from these journalists, the whole world immediately learned why the Central Committee of the Chinese Empire had these five military regions stand by their side. Apart from the angry young people who knew nothing and were still angrily cursing the vast imperial system of the Chinese Empire, those who understood politics had once again fallen silent because of Mo Mo's actions.

Only then did they realize the significance of this.

How many times has this happened?

Mo Mo's first appearance, as the "Kirin Talent," thwarted the Grand Eunuch's plot to rebel and protected the old emperor's ascension to the throne. Later, in Luoyang, he assisted the old emperor, preparing for over a month before defeating a coalition of 300,000 local troops. And now, with the power of his words alone, without firing a single shot, he has placed five major military regions behind the central three military regions.

Such performance and such power are already enough for the whole world to put Momo under a magnifying glass and observe him closely. Although at present, Momo is only a tutor and seems to have no real power.

However, this is not all that Momo has done.

If they knew that the previous global virus wave was caused by Momo, and that a series of new industries, technologies, and manufacturing industries in Luoyang were also brought about by Momo, they would probably be completely shocked and regard Momo as one of the most dangerous people in the world, on par with guys like Charles.

The second item was announced by Gao Hai.

Now, no one dares to mock Gao Hai's eunuch voice anymore. With immense power in his hands, Gao Hai truly controls the central administration of the Chinese Empire. The central government has now expanded to three military regions, and five more autonomous military regions will soon be added. The power Gao Hai wields is enough to make everyone in the world envious.

Furthermore, Gao Hai also controlled the secret service agency, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which was renowned for its distinctive attire and iconic red five-pointed star caps. Those who had actually dealt with the Embroidered Uniform Guard felt their fanatical loyalty and their icy killing intent.

They were all loyal to the emperor. The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was Jiang Zhong, the emperor's personal guard who was implicated in the rebellion of the powerful eunuch. The core members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were the guards who confronted Mo Mo in the emperor's palace that time.

He currently works under Gao Hai, and anyone they deem a threat to the Chinese Empire is invited to the Jinyiwei's territory for tea. However, unlike the police's unlimited refills for 24 or 48 hours, the Jinyiwei's tea is mostly the "Five Tigers Soul-Severing Tea," which kills you with just one sip.

What Gao Hai announced was a series of decrees and matters concerning the integration between various military regions, such as the issuance and use of RMB, unified jurisdiction over various regions, and the appointment of important officials at all levels.

These events naturally revealed a great deal of information, such as the reshuffling of various forces within the Chinese Empire and the emperor's control over these forces.

Unfortunately, there are very few foreigners in the world who truly understand the Chinese Empire.

After all, the Chinese Empire in this world was historically more powerful than the China in Momo's previous life, and its cultural differences with the West were greater. There were no invasions by foreign powers or reforms and opening up, so there was very little room for communication between China and the West. They were completely two different world circles.

After Gao Hai, the final big event finally arrived: the old emperor made his appearance.

The emperor's appearance meant that some things that only he could announce were about to be announced. What brought tears to the eyes of all the people of the Chinese Empire was that although the emperor was still thin and frail, his complexion was very good.

Moreover, this time, the old emperor came to the crowd alone, leaning on a cane, without anyone helping him or sitting in a wheelchair.

Anyone who can watch this live broadcast will instantly see all their doubts about the central government vanish. The Emperor's physical and mental condition is clearly improving daily, and he is gradually returning to the level of a normal person.

Faced with such facts, how could anyone still believe that the emperor was under the control of Momo and Gaohai?

After a passionate speech celebrating the blessings of the Chinese Empire and condemning the local officials for their misdeeds, treason, and betrayal of their ancestors, the old emperor began to get down to business.

The first item on the main topic is the awarding of merits for the previous battles of Luoyang and Yanjing.

In fact, the rewards had already been decided and the positions of the relevant personnel had been transferred, but it had not been officially announced to the public until now. Today's official announcement is clearly not just an announcement to the public, but also a release of a signal.

First and foremost is Artoria. As the greatest contributor to the Battle of Luoyang and the main general in the Battle of Yanjing, her achievements are beyond compare.

Now, no one questions Artoria's abilities and stance anymore. She has fully proven herself and gained the trust of everyone in the Zhu Jin Army.

Aside from Artoria's blonde hair, blue eyes, and nationality, which sometimes make people feel a little awkward, everyone else has truly submitted to Artoria's leadership.

When the world saw a female general of the Chinese Empire for the first time, and that she was actually a Western woman, almost everyone spat out what they were eating.

In their eyes, the Chinese Empire was closed, backward, and a representative of dictatorship and autocracy. However, who could have imagined that the most important general in this legendary Battle of Luoyang and the huge changes in the Central Luoyang Military Region in just a few months was actually a Western woman!

Where in such a Chinese empire was there even a trace of isolation?

Then, when the emcee announced Artoria's name, Artoria Pendragon, people all over the world threw their things out of their hands again.

Pendragon...

Don't think we don't understand!

Isn't Pendragon a surname from ancient Great Britain? Could this woman be Britannian?

Hey, what's going on here?!

The Britannian journalists responsible for reporting all of this were originally quite experienced, but when the host introduced Artoria's identity, they became incoherent, because she simply couldn't understand what all of this was all about.

Many EU members have been secretly interfering in the affairs of the Chinese Federation, and the current chaos within the Federation is inseparable from their involvement. When they suddenly saw a woman of Britannian origin become the highest-ranking military commander in the Chinese Empire, they were almost terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Could all of this be a conspiracy between the Chinese Federation and Britannia to disrupt the EU?

All the EU members who had considered all this broke out in a cold sweat. They all had the same expectation: the bill to strengthen the defense of the Chinese Federation, which was likely to be passed, was actually a bill to launch a military campaign against the Chinese Empire. It would probably be delayed because of this woman's appearance.

Artoria's subsequent bestowal of titles and honors seemed to prove that the Chinese Empire was completely unrestricted by nationality or status; anyone who served the Chinese Empire could obtain high-ranking official positions and generous salaries.

Artoria was appointed General of Chariots and Cavalry, with a gold seal and purple ribbon, ranking second only to the Grand General and the General of the Flying Cavalry, and above the General of the Guards and the Generals of the Front, Rear, Left, and Right. The General of Chariots and Cavalry was in charge of the Luoyang military guards and the Luoyang palace guards, a second-rank official, and in ancient times was the commander of chariot troops.

The General of Chariots and Cavalry wasn't the highest-ranking military officer, but the problem was that Luoyang currently had neither a Grand General nor a General of the Flying Cavalry. After all, each of these positions should theoretically command 30,000 troops; where would Luoyang find the troops to bestow such high-ranking generalships upon?

At present, the Emperor has appointed Artoria as General of Chariots and Cavalry. Anyone familiar with the military organization of the Chinese Empire will immediately understand that the central government of the Chinese Empire has expanded its army, and the expansion is complete!

These three months have given the central government ample time!

Afterwards, Jiang Shang, who was in charge of the western front of the Battle of Luoyang, was also appointed as General of the Guards, second only to Artoria.

Meanwhile, the other generals who fought in the Battle of Luoyang were also promoted.

Hong Gu was promoted to Left General for his meritorious service under Artoria, while Li Xingke was promoted to Right General thanks to Gao Hai's guarantee. The position of Rear General was awarded to a captain in charge of the overall operation of the Divine Dragon Cannon, who will continue to lead the artillery unit in the future.

Finally, there is the former general, who was another female general who had been commanding effectively in the western front, named Mo Xue.

When they saw that Mo Xue, who was also young, had obtained such a high position, many people with ambitions to make a name for themselves were envious.

Even Li Yunhu, who made great contributions, was promoted several ranks, jumping from a captain to a lieutenant. It can be said that many people in the Zhujin Army became officials.

With such a series of significant promotions in official appointments, what will happen next is almost self-evident.
