Chapter 39: Vina’s plan and resentment towards Chen Qi?
At this moment in the medical office of Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit, a veteran of Rhodes Island and the main person in charge of the medical department, was not busy in the operating room. She sat in the office for a rare time and watched the TV series called "Yes, Prime Minister".
Next to Kal'tsit, Amiya, the leader of Rhodes Island, sat like a good baby, watching this Victorian political comedy with Kal'tsit and laughing from time to time.
Soon, as the four episodes were played, Kal'tsit, who had remained calm, turned off the TV silently. She turned to look at Amiya, who was smiling and still looking unsatisfied, and asked:
"Amiya, is this the new TV series that Victoria is launching now?"
“Ah, yes.” Amiya, who had not yet completely escaped from the aftertaste of laughter, also came back to her senses immediately because of Kal’tsit’s words, and answered carefully:
"Ms. Vina said that this TV series is Victoria's new play, and it is a TV series starring Tracy herself, which is intended to undermine the confidence of the people of Londinium in Victoria."
"...The person who appeared above is undoubtedly Tracy." Kelsey did not rush to refute or agree with what he said, but just said:
"The actor who plays the role of Secretary Bernard is Manfred; and the other person, if I am not mistaken, is the Blood Demon Lord."
"They are both Theresias's right-hand men, but their attitudes towards Theresias are very subtle... Manfred supports Theresias' military strategy, but supports Theresias more in terms of policy. He is actually a supporter of the dual king rule."
"And the Blood Demon Lord is one of the Blood Demon Kings of the Royal Court. He does not support Tracys or Theresa. He is just a Sarkaz supremacist. He follows Tracys in order to restore the former glory of the Sarkaz and seek revenge."
"If they all support Tracy's idea, then there is no doubt that they see the potential of this TV series and they are trying to extract the knowledge they need from this director."
“Knowledge?” Amiya was a little nervous when she heard that, because she saw the uneasiness in Kal’tsit’s eyes, which were always calm and seemed to have everything under control. She asked quickly:
"But... this is just a comedy, Dr. Kelsey, are you being too sensitive?"
"-Amiya, any topic in this world is not simple as long as it involves politics." Kal'tsit shook her head when she heard it. She didn't think that Tracy's personal TV series was just his interest. To be able to sit in his current position, Tracy is a rational person and will never do anything impulsive.
"Amiya, you have to know that there are only a few countries in this world that are relatively tolerant of the spread of information, and when it comes to politics, no country allows ordinary people to access it."
"No country has ever offered political courses, and with the news being blocked in various cities, ordinary people have very few opportunities to learn about politics - until this TV series came out."
"Amiya, do you know what this means? This means that this TV series starring Tracy will become the only political drama on this earth. This political drama disguised as a comedy reveals the essence of politics to everyone - checks and balances."
“And for everyone to learn about politics, maybe it’s not a bad thing, but for Tracys, it’s definitely a good thing.”
"Why?" Amiya was a little confused, but Kal'tsit said word by word with a frosty face:
"Because he now occupies Londinium, exposing the darkness and loopholes of the Victorian government at this moment will certainly be of great help to his plan to take control of the entire Victoria in the future."
"Before this, no civilians knew anything about politics. They knew nothing about the government and the people who ruled them. But now, if they knew that the people who ruled them were a group of people who secretly manipulated everything and treated the lives of the people as numbers and money at will, Amiya, what do you think would happen?"
"Especially now that Tresis has taken Londinium, the capital of Victoria, without a single drop of blood, what do you think the residents of Londinium will think?"
The more Kelsey spoke, the more she felt that Tracy's move was totally unexpected. Even Kelsey began to feel that things were out of control, and said nervously:
"Besides Victoria, what kind of unrest will this TV series cause when it spreads to other countries? What will happen if the citizens of other countries also think that their leaders are like this because of this TV series?"
"This..." Amiya really didn't think of this. She vaguely felt a potential danger, but still kept a trace of naivety and said:
"But it's just a TV show. Even if it's the first political drama, it's not that bad..."
"——Amiya, people who have never received any education in this area and have just opened up a new world are all very fanatical." However, Kal'tsit had a completely different view on this. She frowned slightly and said:
"Besides, this TV series is now spreading in Victoria. This is obviously Tracy's method. He promoted this TV series to the whole of Victoria in order to spread it to all other countries through Victoria."
"Besides, banning it is useless. With the permission of the whole Victoria, people can always find a way to watch this TV series. Even we in Rhodes Island can watch it at any time, which is enough to show how widely it has been spread."
Kal'tsit said this with a frown on her face, not knowing what to do next. She had already watched the TV series "Yes, Prime Minister", and she was also keenly aware of why Tracy attached so much importance to this TV series.
I am afraid that now, the supreme rulers and civil service groups of more than one country are closely watching "Yes, Prime Minister", the only political drama on the Terra continent. The impact of this TV series will definitely be bombarding-level for all countries.
Especially some powerful countries that were once glorious but have now fallen into decline... Iberia, Lethania, Ursus, etc.... Would the residents feel that the reason their countries are no longer glorious is actually because of the corruption and incompetence of their respective civil service groups?
"Bang, bang, bang!" At this moment, a sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Kal'tsit and Amiya. Before the two women could respond, Vina walked into the office alone with a warhammer.
"Dr. Kal'tsit, I want to talk to you about..."
"——'Yes, Prime Minister', right?" Kal'tsit interrupted Vina's words. After knowing Vina's identity, she understood that Vina would definitely come to her because of this TV series.
"I know this is a serious problem. Once this news reaches Ursus and Leitania... the worst possibility is that a war over Victoria will start that will engulf half of the countries on this land. They will always use this method to divert conflicts. Whether Victoria still exists or not, many innocent people will inevitably suffer misfortune. This must be stopped."
"But the problem is that now the whole of Victoria is broadcasting this TV series, and it is difficult for us to stop it."
"——I have a plan." Vina had her own ideas and immediately said to Kal'tsit:
"The crew must be in Londinium now. As long as we can send an elite force to infiltrate Londinium, kidnap the screenwriter and director of the crew, and then blow up the Londinium TV station, Tracy will not be able to continue broadcasting "Yes, Prime Minister" with Londinium's authorization."
"And he has also lost his screenwriter and director. In this case, not only will he lose all the original material and be unable to replay it, he will also lose the people who can create it. His plan will be completely ruined."
"...I'm surprised that you don't plan to kill the screenwriter." Kal'tsit didn't reject it immediately after hearing this, but was really thinking about the feasibility. However, she deliberately asked Vina this question, and asked lightly:
"I thought you would hate the writers of this TV show."
"…I hate it, but I think it's too easy for him to die like this."
Vina was silent for a while after hearing this, then she bit the lollipop in her mouth and said calmly, "Tracy used him to ridicule Victoria, and in the future, I will need him to atone for his sins and use his talents to help me restore the confidence of the people of Victoria."
"So, I won't let him die. Moreover... I actually know that if he didn't intentionally cooperate with Tracy during this extraordinary period, everything he satirized would be the problems exposed by the Victorian government."
"I will need his wisdom and vision in the future. Anyone that Tracy can use, I can use too."
"——a wise move."
Upon hearing this, Kal'tsit nodded lightly. Then, she did not raise any objection to Vina's bold plan. On the contrary, she strongly supported Vina's opinion.
In any case, everything must be nipped in the bud before the TV series causes a greater impact. This time, Kelsey agreed with Vina's opinion. This land could not withstand greater turmoil.
"I will send an elite team to go to Londinium with you. Your mission is to sneak into Londinium and contact the crew as quietly as possible."
"Let's see their attitude first. Perhaps they were coerced by Tracy." Kal'tsit thought of this. After all, according to the current situation on Terra, the Sarkaz have a bad reputation. Few races other than the Sarkaz deal with them, let alone someone as dangerous as Tracy.
Therefore, if the crew members were willing to cooperate, perhaps the casualties could be minimized, so that their elite team would not have to take too much risk to move forward.
"I will arrange it. I just need to know who the director and screenwriter of the crew are, what they look like, and what their names are."
As a Victorian, Vina, who is very familiar with the terrain of Londinium, naturally has to lead the team herself, but she doesn't know the people who are filming this TV series. At the critical moment, if she cannot guarantee to bring all the crew members out, she will definitely only ensure the important personnel first.
"I've checked. This crew is called the Integration Art Troupe. It is a crew that was reborn from the former infected violent organization Integration Movement."
Kal'tsit had already planned this, so she immediately shared her information with Vina and said calmly:
"The screenwriter and director of this crew are the same person, a Yan countryman named 'Chen Qi'."
"I think we can discuss this news with the rulers of Longmen. Tallulah, the original leader of the Integrated Cultural Troupe where Chen Qi is, is still in the crew. Perhaps we can find more help."
"……I will remember."
Vina nodded, then wrote down the name "Chen Qi", but she already had a "way to deal with" Chen Qi in her mind.
——She wants this guy to use his ability to gradually restore the confidence that Victorians lost in "Yes, Prime Minister". Otherwise, when she regains the throne in the future, she will make that guy rack his brains and work for her country's film and television industry for the rest of his life! Until she feels that she has made up for it!
Of course, when we find him, we have to beat him up first. Vina had a plan in mind, and she couldn't help but use more force on the long-handled war hammer...
Chapter 40: Tracy's Discussion Meeting on "Yes, Prime Minister"
At the same time, what were Tresis and his group doing in Londinium? Just like last week, he summoned all the Sarkaz officers above the rank of thousand captains from the entire Sarkaz Corps in Londinium, and they occupied the parliament hall of Londinium and held a big meeting.
It can be said that if a high-intensity Originium bomb was placed in the meeting room of Londinium at this time, it would directly destroy half of the history of Kazdel.
Unfortunately, the woman who wanted to blow Tracys up the most was not in Londinium, nor did she plant a bomb here. And Tracys held such a grand meeting, but the thing to do was not to discuss future developments.
All I saw was that so many Sarkaz, no matter what factions they belonged to or which royal court's kings' clans they belonged to, were watching the same work on the screen in the conference hall - "Yes, Prime Minister".
This TV series, starred by Tracys, Manfred and Lord Blood Demon, three powerful Sarkaz in Kazdel, is of great significance to all Sarkaz.
Most of the Sarkaz were born as mercenaries or scavengers. They learned how to kill on the battlefield and in the process of survival, but they have not forgotten flattery and the ways of the world. No matter how bad the works performed by their superiors are, they must put on a shocking look and praise their superiors' acting skills.
However, since last week, the Sarkaz executives who had been watching bad movies just to see their superiors perform, after watching two episodes of "Yes, Prime Minister", these Sarkaz, whose minds were filled with nothing but war and killing, immediately opened the door to a new world...
It has to be said that there are only a few powerful countries in the Terra continent that have a complete political system. The rest either collapsed with the decline of the country, or are still in the nature of scattered families and tribes, with only their own internal rules.
Of course, the countries on the Terra continent have become like this because of a series of reasons such as frequent natural disasters, false starry sky, and closed information from various mobile cities. It can only be said that the evil spirits are great even in a small temple.
However, due to the blockage of information, the communication between various mobile cities can only be achieved through messengers. Even Chen from Longmen was able to contact Chen Qi directly because Chen Qi's mobile phone was redeemed by the system. He told Chen that his mobile phone had special technology from Columbia, so he could contact him no matter how far away he was.
Having said so much, in fact, even a country like Kazdel, which has been destroyed several times in the war, has completely collapsed their original political system. Even if Theresa and Theresis work together, they can only rebuild their homes step by step and then consider political matters.
After all, if they can’t even unite the Sarkaz and restore their homeland, how can they restore the operation of the political system step by step?
But now, Tresis saw hope! One that could help them quickly restore their own political system and provide textbook-like teaching.
And that textbook is called "Victoria"! And "Yes, Prime Minister" is the analysis of this textbook!
"Everyone, I believe everyone has already watched the third and fourth episodes."
Tracys reviewed his performance once again, then turned his gaze to the Sarkaz high-level officials and said calmly:
"What did you each see from these two episodes? Everyone can speak freely."
"You are the elite of the Sarkaz, veterans who have walked out of countless life-and-death battlefields. I believe that your insights can be more unique and professional."
"——Your Highness, I think first of all, the problems in the Ministry of Finance need our attention."
After Tracy finished speaking, the Sarkaz looked at each other, and finally the Blood Demon Lord, who also participated in "Yes, Prime Minister" and was sitting in the first row closest to Tracy, spoke first.
I only saw him elegantly holding up the wine glass filled with blood, and said slowly:
"From the TV series, it is clear that the political system of Victoria is divided into high and low departments. We may not be able to avoid this in the future. The Treasury, as the place that controls a country's taxes and money, is undoubtedly the highest in status."
"We should appoint the most trusted and capable people to serve as ministers of the most important departments, and their department secretaries must be appointed by the government."
During this period, the Blood Demon Lord suddenly found pleasure in boring politics by playing the role of "Humphrey", which was considered the pinnacle of Victorian civil servants - refuting Tracys.
Yes, this is the fun of Lord Blood Demon. In "Yes, Prime Minister", Humphrey often uses sentences with many proper nouns to prevaricate the Prime Minister, which is called "long and difficult sentences" by Chen Qi, and is also the most difficult part of the lines of the character Humphrey.
However, the Blood Demon Lord has a photographic memory, so this is not difficult for him at all. In the past, due to his current position and Tracys' identity, the Blood Demon Lord had no way to disobey Tracys. And appreciating Tracys' confused expression during the performance is the Blood Demon Lord's new pleasure.
Of course, after playing the role of Humphrey for a long time, Lord Blood Demon naturally had other feelings - that is, Humphrey's power as a cabinet secretary was too great.
In the fourth episode of Yes, Prime Minister, Humphrey's power as Cabinet Secretary gives him the responsibility and power to transfer, promote and recruit personnel, which means that he can insert people who support him into the civil service system at will.
And giving this power to a cabinet secretary is undoubtedly too great. It would be fine if the cabinet secretary was a loyal minister who was devoted to the country, but...what if it was someone like Humphrey?
"If it were today, I would like to believe that there would be people who would sacrifice themselves for the revival of the Sarkaz." The Blood Demon Lord said calmly:
"But if, one day, Kazdel is revived and their hearts are corrupted like the officials of Victoria, then what will be the fate of the Sarkaz?"
"——The power of the cabinet secretary must be reduced." Tracys nodded, but then added:
"But on the other hand, the Ministry of Finance cannot be the only one in power. Having a cabinet secretary with equal power to work with other important departments can also ensure that no one department will dominate."
"At the same time, the power of the prime minister must be consolidated, but it cannot be entirely decided by the prime minister alone. A country where one person makes all the decisions may be suitable for war, but it is not conducive to governing the country."
"We will discuss this later. Manfred, please write it down."
Tracy also nodded. What he learned from "Yes, Prime Minister" was the most critical thing about politics - that is "checks and balances". Only by balancing the distribution of various departments and powers can a political system be guaranteed to operate smoothly. No matter who is missing or what key person is missing, it can continue to operate.
Manfred, who was promoted by Theresis, is now doing secretarial work.
Manfred didn't know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that Theresis was really beginning to get used to treating him as "Bernar", his personal secretary.
Manfred now had no choice but to accept this identity. Now, he was not only a general of the Kazdel Military Committee, but also Tracy's personal secretary... because he, like Bernard, stood on Tracy's side.
With the start made by Lord Blood Demon, slowly, the Sarkaz in the parliament began to express their own insights.
"Your Highness, I think regarding the issue of the Originium Tax, we should not stop the Originium industry. On the contrary, if the Originium Tax can support so many jobs and interests in a country, then the Originium-related industries should be allowed to exist."
Tracy: "Pertinent advice. This will definitely be useful after the reconstruction of Kazdel in the future. Let's solve the problem of self-sufficiency first, and then expand the Originium trade as soon as possible. I will let you serve as the director of the Originium Industry Bureau in the future."
"Your Highness, regarding pension insurance and social security funds, I don't think we can completely deny the views in the play. Maintaining a certain mortality rate is something we must consider in the future. The lifespan and physical strength of the Sarkaz far exceed that of many races. We should set a special retirement time for the Sarkaz."
Tracy: "We also need to consider the infection rate. I don't want my people to die from the mineral disease and not even have time to retire. Next one."
"Your Highness, regarding the corruption in the civil service system, I think..."
With the speeches of the Sarkaz in the parliament, Tracy's discussions, and Manfred's records, soon, as time went by, the discussion on the third and fourth episodes of "Yes, Prime Minister" finally came to an end.
Manfred recorded half a notebook of news, but he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he said with some joy:
"Inside this... is the wisdom for the future revival of Kazdel and the reconstruction of our government."
"Manfred, you have a great responsibility. You may not continue to be a general in the future. You will become a commander in the civil service system."
Tracy replied calmly. He had always believed that Manfred was proficient in both civil and military affairs. If the Sarkaz really did not need to fight on the battlefield in the future, then Manfred would be Tracy's most trusted "cabinet secretary".
"So, after two weeks as 'prime minister', our 'prime minister' has no realizations?"
However, at this moment, the Blood Demon Lord turned to look at Tracys, and asked with a somewhat cold smile that was unique to the Blood Demon: "As the regent of Kazdel, shouldn't you give some suggestions?"
"…Then, I do have a realization."
Facing the Blood Demon Lord's barbed words, Tracys twitched his lips indifferently and said coldly:
