Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 516 - 485 Banquet_2

Thus, she turned to Kallen to discuss the matter at hand, "Now, the Revolutionary Army has transformed into an autonomous territory, there are many things you need to do next, I think you’ve already prepared."

"I know, I have all the things you taught me memorized in my mind!" Kallen took out a small notebook from her body, opened it, and said to Po Diekate, "Form a government led by workers, keep the revolutionary army firmly in hand, reorganize the Workers’ Federation into a true political party, propose clear long-term and short-term goals, and formulate a program aimed at achieving long-term goals..."

"These are the things you need to do as the leader of the Workers’ Federation. Besides, as the leader of the autonomous territory, there are some things you need to pay attention to, such as the construction of shelters and Energy Towers in the autonomous territory." Perfikot felt very satisfied with Kallen’s ability to remember what she had taught her, but also did not forget to remind her what her current urgent task was, "I’m temporarily suppressing things over here in the New Continent colony, nothing major will happen. Send people over to negotiate cooperation issues with the colony government as much as possible, then go back and start building shelters and Energy Towers in major cities.

The related technical information and construction requirements, I will give you a copy later. If there’s any problem, you can directly contact me. Now your identity is the leader of the autonomous territory, you can directly talk to me, so if you have requests, just speak up."

"Understood!" Kallen solemnly noted all these down, her expression very serious.

Before being chosen by Perfikot, Kallen had not truly managed anything, she had neither experience leading others nor the ability to manage an organization.

But after Perfikot pushed her into the position of workers’ leader, she also had no choice but to force herself to grow and become a competent leader.

Although indeed lacking sufficient experience, Kallen believes that as long as she strives to do and seriously learns, she can always get things done well.

Seeing Kallen’s correct attitude, Perfikot nodded contently but still was not at ease and reminded Kallen, "Additionally, I know you’ve established an autonomous territory, which is a stage victory. Many people might relax mentally, this is what you need to be vigilant about.

You’ve only achieved a stage victory, which can even be said to be the victory I ceded to you. You haven’t undergone a harsh test, so many people’s will might not be firm, and their revolutionary beliefs might not withstand the test.

So Kallen, you need to pay special attention to this issue later on. Once a team’s ideology is problematic, the team is doomed.

Moreover, a more critical point, you guys used to be workers and proletarians, but now suddenly acting as managers of the autonomous territory, many might not adapt to the change in identity.

Like we said earlier, the human heart is greedy. For the sake of revolution and ideals, they might not hesitate to sacrifice their lives, but when sitting in the current position, can you ensure their ideology remains as steadfast as before, able to withstand various material and spiritual temptations?"

This issue had previously ruined many revolutionaries in the original world. Some were once passionate and vigorous youths, but once they sat in high positions, they quickly got eroded by sugar-coated shells, and lost their original ideals.

Just like the most famous traitor during the Anti-Japanese War period, who in his youth was also a passionate revolutionary, singing fearlessly in the marketplace and calmly being imprisoned, making a clean break with the knife and never betraying his youthful head, once assassinated the father of the last emperor.

Someone who should have been recorded in green history as a passionate youth, but later gradually degenerated on the road to power, eventually becoming a traitor and sellout despised by all, because of his failure to resist various temptations.

Perfikot didn’t know if such people existed within Kallen’s Revolutionary Army, nor would she gamble that these people could resist temptation.

So she reminded Kallen from the outset, hoping she could notice this issue and timely nip any bad signs in the bud.

The Revolutionary Army’s affairs were always within controllable range with Perfikot’s intervention, even though wars brought many issues, but they were timely stopped, avoiding bad outcomes.

After all, she indeed possesses the ability to stop this war anytime, controlling the scale of the war.

But if the problem arises internally in the now autonomous territory’s Revolutionary Army, even Perfikot would find it challenging to handle such matters.

Ultimately, the military might of the Steam Knight can prevent wars but cannot prevent the decay, corruption, and degeneration of human hearts.

This is something Kallen and the Revolutionary Army must face themselves, she can no longer help them.

"Rest assured, I will not let your efforts be in vain! We’ve agreed, when the day of revolution victory arrives, we will welcome the dawn together!" Kallen was filled with energy, speaking to Perfikot about her most beautiful vision.

Perfikot merely smiled at this, not saying much.

Kallen’s vision is beautiful. If all goes well, she might indeed have the chance to see the morning light on the day of revolution victory.

But the premise of fulfilling this vision is that they must safely get through this doomsday disaster.

"It’s good you have this confidence; later I will hold a banquet in New Shaker City to celebrate my seventeenth coming-of-age ceremony, then I will return to the Northern Territory, and we don’t know when we will meet again. I hope by then you can bring me good news." Perfikot said to Kallen with a smile.

——————————————

According to the Victor Empire’s customs, a noble lady would typically hold a coming-of-age ceremony on her sixteenth birthday to announce her adulthood to the entire aristocratic circle, as well as signal her family’s social circle.

In other words, this lady has come of age and is ready for marriage engagement.

For nobility, a marriageable child’s matrimonial affairs are a huge political bargaining chip, which can be used for various exchanges of interests or alliances with other families, even attaching to higher-level dignitaries.

Hence usually a Victor Empire noble lady’s coming-of-age ceremony is incredibly luxurious and decent because it’s showing her most beautiful side to the outside world.

What could be more enticing than a freshly adult delicate flower?

Of course, when male nobles come of age, they too have such a banquet, aiming to find a suitable marriage partner.

This is also a very important social occasion for the entire aristocratic circle.

Many political alliances, interest exchanges, or other matters are often reached at such banquets.

Originally, Perfikot was supposed to have her coming-of-age banquet last year, but she refused Eldest Princess Annie’s proposal to host the banquet, citing her hectic affairs, making the old butler quite disappointed.

This year, Perfikot also didn’t plan to host such a banquet, as she was truly unwilling to entertain those gluttonous nobles, nor did she like being entangled by those noble youths like flies.

In her heart, she had none of the thoughts a lovesick girl should have, nor any interest in men.

Really holding such a banquet, perhaps the fathers of those noble youths could speak in front of Perfikot, but those noble youths themselves? The Northern Territory Count really didn’t think much of them.

However, considering the current situation of the New Continent colony, Perfikot felt hosting such a banquet might help stabilize people’s hearts.

Moreover, on the other hand, the nobles migrating from the Empire mainland to the Northern Territory also require appeasement; her coming-of-age banquet will be a good occasion to release signals, both to appease the nobles’ emotions and convey her will and thoughts to them, to avoid these nobles giving her trouble.

So even if she dislikes such banquets and socializing, Perfikot still seriously prepares to hold her coming-of-age banquet.
