Obviously, such a mobile capital requires relocation costs. There are simpler methods, such as establishing a mobile city and moving the capital around to wherever the economy is weak. However, regardless of the method, costs must be considered. After all, this is the capital of a major country. No matter where it is, it needs supporting facilities to function properly, and these facilities must be able to seamlessly connect with the reserve capital region.
If it were just this problem, it would be easy to resolve. The costs could be shared and managed. However, as time goes on, it's hard to say whether the successors will be able to keep the system running. After all, the capital city itself represents a kind of exchange of interests, and many things can be exchanged for it.
However, using a mobile capital still has many advantages at this stage, especially in avoiding the solidification of local interests and the emergence of new political interest groups around the capital.
The mobile capital represents the interests of the mobile world and is a crusher of the old forces. Coupled with a five- to ten-year relocation cycle and the relocation to relatively underdeveloped areas, it can make the community's economic development healthier and ensure that no one is left behind in the pursuit of a better life.
Most importantly, a high-quality transportation system can be built along the roads that move the capital, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
After the introduction of the mobile capital policy, many people expressed their incomprehension, after all, this is the first time that such a policy has been introduced. Moving cities and mobile capitals are two different concepts. The former involves the entire city moving around, while the latter only involves the relocation of government offices.
In other words, it is impossible for any group to take root in the capital, because they will relocate in ten years. At that time, all the networks of relationships will be broken, and traditional means of connecting interests will be useless. Everyone understands the principle that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and the same applies to political relationships.
"Precisely because this is the first time, we must do it even more; we are making history! History that belongs to us proletarians!"
These words are indeed quite inspiring, especially coming from Liu Jiuli.
Yes, our community is a nation that has created history, and we are all people who create history. Since we are people who create history, we should dare to be pioneers. Is there anything more romantic in the world than this?
The bill was thus passed unanimously at the assembly, and the mobile capital system was established.
Next, it's time to prepare a brand new capital city.
Chapter 360: Unification of the East
(Fun fact: The so-called British prime minister of Indian descent is actually from Pakistan. India lost its permanent seat on the UN Security Council. Haha~)
"Shoot him immediately!"
"Let me go! Let me go! My family has been passed down for eight generations and twenty-seven generations of ancestors. How can you treat me like this!"
"I know someone in the community, let me make a phone call, let me make a phone call!"
"Heavens above, earth below, why have you allowed a tyrant to rule the land!"
"I have money! I have money! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"shooting!"
Amidst the continuous gunfire, all the noise vanished without a trace.
This is a process that all countries inevitably go through after liberation: a complete revolution.
"Letting them go is a crime against faith, a disguised betrayal. Only death can bring them justice!"
Before being executed, these people were all publicly tried. Those with murder cases on their hands were executed on the spot, while those with heinous crimes were handed over to the local people to carry out their own executions, so that grievances could be settled and grudges could be settled.
The rest, even pregnant women, must die; we must not give the enemy any reason to compromise or negotiate.
Even if we were to consider it, it would be for an evenly matched opponent. A mere five million soldiers who let the sheep graze for three days are not worthy of special consideration. Besides, the former people of Yan Kingdom also needed this method to fully awaken.
The most effective way to overcome fear is to trample it underfoot.
The sight of once high and mighty men crying and begging for mercy, or even losing control of their bladders on the spot, is more effective than dry preaching.
These people didn't even have the chance to be buried; they were burned to ashes and thrown into a septic tank. Thousands of people watched the scene, and it was broadcast live nationwide, completely sweeping the powerful and wealthy of the old era into the garbage heap.
Next came the purge of the old intellectuals of Yan State.
These scholars are also a potential problem, but Liu Jiuli has a better use for them. He will give them a chance to understand the hardships of ordinary people. There is a Siberian farm in the vast Far East that is in dire need of manpower. You should consider it.
Don't want to go? There's another prison called Sun Prison, would you like to go there?
No matter what method you use, drive these people there, then put them through labor reform. If they reform well, release them; if they don't, then let them reform for life. If they pass away, it will be considered a successful reform. If there are stubborn elements, the Siberian farm is very dangerous in winter, so it's normal for a few people to be missing.
In short, the fate of the upper and middle classes of the entire Yan Kingdom was sealed, and this number was over one million.
Compared to the well-being of 400 million people, the cost of this one million people is extremely low, achieving great things at low cost.
However, this also means that the number of intellectuals left in Yan State is very small, and most positions need to be filled. Liu Jiuli directly transferred civil servants from other provinces and all over the country to serve in Yan State, while civil servants trained by Yan State went to serve in other provinces, and re-planned each region within the community.
To put it bluntly, it was a further administrative division of a province. Taking advantage of the fact that his reputation was still somewhat effective, Liu Jiuli directly convened a conference and then redefined the province, city, county, district, and village of the community. People from each country were now replaced by people from "which province are you from?" and no country maintained its traditional territory.
The Ursus Empire became 22 provinces, Yan Kingdom became 24, Letania became 2, Syracuse became 2, and Kazdel became 7. Furthermore, the provinces in the border regions all included the territories of at least two former countries, directly erasing the traces of each country geographically. The next step was to cultivate a sense of cultural identity.
Liu Jiuli drew a circle in the middle of the community's territory. This circle will become the community's new economic center. At the same time, the population here will come from various former countries. After being completely mixed, integrated, and adapted, they will spread outwards from this center and completely assimilate into a new country.
That's what they say, but in reality, the community's cultural system still has a central ideology, which is based on self-interest and uses it for its own purposes.
With Chinese civilization as its bones, other civilizations as its flesh, and shared ideas as its blood, it will eventually become a new unified nation.
Multi-ethnic? Not at all. The ethnicity and race section on our ID cards both read "Terra Peoples Community." If you really want to say something, we're all Terrans. Are you satisfied now?
From this perspective, the Community is the nation that best represents Terran civilization.
The same applies to their strength.
"Finally, it's all coming to an end."
Raiden stood under the cherry blossom tree, having just learned of the complete liberation of Yan Kingdom.
It was a complete liberation. The Yan Kingdom no longer exists; there are only 24 provinces under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth.
Only the Eastern Kingdom remains an independent nation on the Eastern Continent. The Northern Shogunate is still on the side of the Commonwealth, so the fate of the Eastern Kingdom is already sealed: it can either join the Commonwealth, be forced to join the Commonwealth, or have both options.
The North can join voluntarily, while the South can only join passively.
They really don't want to join. Their actions will definitely be investigated and punished by the community, without exception.
Look at the piles of heads of the powerful and wealthy in Yan Kingdom being killed; that is their future. The only difference is the methods and the process.
"General, will the future of the Eastern Kingdom be better?" Hojo asked somewhat nervously.
"It will at least be better than it is now, but it will be better for more people, not just for a small number of people."
"So many people will die."
"At least it's less dead and injured than natural disasters and man-made calamities. I've witnessed countless tragedies firsthand. Compared to that, the insects the community dealt with are nothing. Besides, they deserved to die anyway. Trading those who deserve to die for a bright future is the most worthwhile political deal in the world."
Raiden glanced at Hojo. There were three hundred daimyo from the East with family crests like her, and they were equivalent to three hundred small vassal states. Although they were not large, they were enough to show the essence of the East – feudalism.
Liu Jiuli would never allow them to live. The centralized power he wanted meant that the local areas would unconditionally obey the central government. Anyone who dared to bargain was courting death. These powerful families of the vassal states would either give up everything and become ordinary people, or they would become corpses and have the community take everything away.
Given what these people have done, it would be an act of mercy for the community to offer them a way out.
That's what they say, but the nobles of the Eastern Kingdom certainly don't want to lose their wealth and power. Now that they can't keep their power and status, they will do everything they can to keep their wealth. They even escaped from the dangerous sea, risking their lives to seek refuge in other countries. Little do they know that all their glory comes from the Eastern Kingdom. This land is where their connections, economy, power, and status are. Once they leave the Eastern Kingdom, they are just fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. When those wolves outside make their move, they won't consider the feelings of their prey.
How did Liu Jiuli evaluate these people again? Oh, they were consumables, pathetic consumables who didn't even realize it.
Being robbed is considered lucky; what's worse is being exploited, used like toilet paper.
Well, the opportunity has been given. If they don't accept it, that's their own business. We're all adults, and we have to bear the consequences of our decisions.
Lightning's final act of kindness towards them was his wish that they could die without pain when they were murdered and robbed.
"Prepare to usher in a new era."
On October 31, 1108, as the reactionary forces within Yan Kingdom were gradually eliminated, the Northern Front Army of the Community marched eastward, aiming directly at Dong Kingdom.
This is not a battle at all; it's an armed march.
Faced with a powerful enemy that even Yan Kingdom could not resist, the entire Southern Shogunate of the Eastern Kingdom was basically subdued by issuing a proclamation. Those who did not escape and believed that they were doomed either tried to disguise themselves and escape, hiding their identities, or simply committed suicide with their families. On the same day that the community announced its advance, the Northern Shogunate had already announced its joining the community.
Thus, the history of the Eastern Kingdom came to a complete end, and the entire Eastern continent of Terra was united under one nation.
On November 3, 1108, a modified Kunpeng transport plane slowly landed at a training ground in the territory of the Northern Shogunate's Jiang army. Raiden Shin, along with a group of civil and military officials of the Northern Shogunate, came to greet it personally.
Liu Jiuli is here in person, so we can't be negligent.
Although Liu Jiuli and Lei Dian had never met or communicated with each other, they chatted happily like old friends who had known each other for a long time. If it weren't for the other people around, they could have started talking right there in the training ground.
For Lei Dianzhen, this was securing a better future for Dongguo; for Liu Jiuli, this was an outstanding revolutionary comrade, and the two had a lot in common.
The two decided to go to the living room to eat hot pot and chat about future plans, the current situation, and the development of the community.
Chapter 361: Unification of the East
(What should I write for my next book? Do you guys want some suggestions? (?ω?))
Kazdel border city, Unity City
“I never expected to meet you this way, Theresis.”
"There are many unexpected things in the world, and they will happen frequently in the future."
W received Theresis here. The latter's purpose in coming this time was very simple: to formally join the community, to grant Liu Jiuli the absolute status of Demon King, and then to issue a rallying order to all the Sarkaz people in Terra.
They can go home now.
In the past, W would definitely have greeted Theresis with several kilograms of explosives, but she wouldn't now.
Both she and Therese have changed a lot, and even if they are unwilling and resentful, they have to learn to let go.
“Theresia’s dream has come true, and that’s more important than anything else,” Theresis said slowly.
W: "It seems you don't care about your identity."
Theresis smiled slightly: "If a mere identity can bring prosperity and peace to Sarkaz, I am willing to be a sacrifice on the altar. In this respect, Theresa and I are the same."
W was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Even now, I am still deeply saddened by His Highness's death, but now it seems that I am not the one who is suffering the most."
Therese simply shook her head and said nothing more.
W understood what he meant. Back then, neither of them had any better options. If the Sarkaz had even half the strength of the community back then, the brother and sister wouldn't have ended up fighting each other because of their differing paths.
Reality is such a cruel thing; it won't present you with tests when you're ready, nor will it care whether you pass them or not. Even if you do pass, what you gain may not outweigh what you get.
But you have no choice but to accept it, because reality is reality, and it happens only once and cannot be changed.
Therese looked up at the latest version of the community map hanging on the wall and exclaimed, "What a powerful country."
For him, power is more important than anything else; as long as he is powerful enough, he will never lack praise and admiration.
Theresis's visit this time included not only members of the Sarkaz royal court, but also their personal guards and over two hundred thousand Sarkaz people, all of whom had returned to Kazdel, their long-awaited homeland.
Everything will start anew, and the community has extensive experience in integrating 200,000 people.
No matter how difficult things are, they can't be more difficult than the Yan Kingdom's founding war.
In any case, it feels so good to see hope again after all the waiting is over.
At the same time, in the residence of the Northern Shogun in the Eastern Kingdom, Liu Jiuli was chatting with Raiden Shin while eating hot pot.
To be precise, this shouldn't be called hot pot; it should be called Oden, or something similar. Back when Chinese people migrated to Northeast China... of course, this didn't exist. This food is actually from Japan; you could call it boiled skewers.
