MTL - God’s Game I Am the Great Will of the Planet-Chapter 813 : Domination of the Southern Border (39) Gods and Demons
The change of attitude of people like Shiaire towards the price limit movement has aroused extreme dissatisfaction among many parliamentarians. They claim that the mandatory price limit violates the principle of free trade, and the National Assembly is developing in the direction of dictatorship.
It was only under the decision of Shiaire and others, relying on their prestige and connections, that the price limit decree was finally passed. Price Act.
The Act stipulates that the price of local food and daily necessities will be forcibly maintained at the average market price in 2923 based on the local conditions of each main city. For the losses suffered by the trade groups due to the price limit decree, the National Assembly will give some coupons as a measure. compensation.
It can be seen from this that although this bill is a price limit bill, it has a great compromise. For example, what is the average market price? How to average which average? All of them are very general, which leaves considerable room for manipulation.
However, even such a price-limiting bill was resisted by many members of the National Assembly, and some local newspapers also severely criticized Shiaire for the first time. Therefore, a price-limiting bill of this magnitude has already been tried hard by Shiaire. The best bill that can be barely passed under the struggle.
In this bill, the "loss" caused by the price-limiting bill is compensated by referring to the trade group, which shows that Shiaire has made great efforts to the bill.
The so-called index coupons refer to the products of de-altarization a few years ago. After the National Assembly forcibly expropriated the "excess" land of the altar, these land were used as collateral to sell index coupons to deal with the economic crisis, and the subsequently forcibly expropriated noble land was also included in the In order to better maintain the index price.
With the development of the situation, the National Assembly has used the index notes more and more frequently. As a result, the actual value of the index notes has only remained at 80% of the denomination. Therefore, in some speculative markets, the denomination of the index notes is often used for speculation. One of the products, many people really made money, but more of them went bankrupt.
Although the index has already started to depreciate due to the excessive issuance, the National Assembly still has no choice, whether it is the worsening economy, or the expenditure of various expenses, training a new army, rebuilding the navy, because the price cap law has caused losses to the trade associations For compensation, more and more money is needed, and the only way for the National Assembly to deal with it is to sell more tokens.
The business group strongly supports Shiairie's behavior. It must be known that the collateral of the index is real land. The business group is not interested in the index itself, but the land behind the index. This is to maintain the index. An important lever for not collapsing in denomination value and credit value.
It is not enough to just use the land to maintain the devaluation of the index due to the continuous indiscriminate issuance, and the Standing Committee headed by Shiaire needs to come up with some other ways to do it.
What can be done? Yes, in the early days, the heads of Celiti III were printed on the tickets to show that the tickets were legal currency blessed by Celiti III, but now Celiti III was executed for treason, how can they still be used? What about the ticket with his profile picture?
Therefore, after the promulgation of the "Corn Limit Act", the Standing Committee passed the "Indication Recycling Order" in the National Assembly. Since Celiti III has become a shameful traitor, then the large-valued coupons with his head are printed on them. will be invalid, so it will be recycled to the National Assembly.
In fact, this order has little impact on the people, because small-denominated coupons are circulated at the bottom, and only the middle class and above will use large-denominated coupons in work and life.
As a very clear-headed Shiairi, he knows that the scope of policy attacks cannot be too large, and the scope of recovery of tickets does not include small-value tickets, which ensures that the interests of the bottom will not be unduly damaged. As for the class above the bottom, Shiaire adopts The argument of prior ventilation, ventilation with top business groups.
As a result, the bottom layer was not affected, and the top business groups were cloned long before the recall order appeared. Finally, the "Recall Order" evolved into a decree for the National Assembly and the top business groups to join forces to jointly slaughter the middle class. The hemiplegia hit in this storm.
This also made some newspapers that were originally inclined to reform take an even worse attitude towards the National Assembly. They claimed in their articles that the "Stock Recycling Order" was undoubtedly an ironclad proof of the National Assembly's dictatorial tendencies.
Fortunately, the business groups are profiting from it, and secondly, they are very clear that if the "interference army" comes in, the people like Kiberon will only hang all the business groups on the street lamps. Can swim in the Styx while continuing to shout for free trade.
In addition to the "Indicator Recycling Order", the second decree promulgated by the Standing Committee, called the "Fugitive Offenders Act", is still aimed at maintaining the value of the index coupons, this time targeting the land of the nobles.
During the anti-feudal decree a few years ago, it was true that some nobles were deprived of their land, but only the excess land was deprived, not all the land. Therefore, the remaining land of the nobles was still a considerable number. It is these lands that the Sub-Standing Committee is eyeing.
According to the "Fugitive Offenders Act", if the fugitive nobles did not surrender before May 1, their estates would be legally forcibly expropriated by the National Assembly and distributed freely to make up for the damage they caused to Shibo due to treason.
Aristocrats with a little IQ know that surrendering themselves is a joke, so by May 1st, the National Assembly could legally acquire a large amount of land. Anyway, since the "December Uprising" and "January Riots" , the two sides are already like water and fire, and it is not bad for this hatred.
For these lands, it is obviously impossible to use all of them to maintain the price of the index, otherwise the bill would have been rejected in the National Assembly on the grounds that it was too broad and too radical.
So why pass the Fugitive Offenders Act? Because there are other theories about the use of the land after the expropriation, maintaining the index price is naturally one of them, but it is crucial that some of the land is auctioned, and the proceeds from the auction are used to fill the national treasury.
These lands are another wave of enviable income, and those who can participate in the auction are obviously not the vast majority of civilians, but the major business groups with rich financial resources.
As for the members of Shiairie, although they did not have the financial resources to participate in the auction of land, the various business groups were quite knowledgeable and donated a lot of land to the members, which made the members' wealth even higher in this turmoil.
In fact, Shiairie put forward this proposal, not all for profit, but also has a meaning, that is, through this method, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the business group and the nobles, unless the business group is willing to spit out all that it has swallowed, Otherwise, just wait for the street lights to be hung.
In this way, Shiaire does not have to worry about the possibility of betrayal by the business group at all. There may be some individual business groups that will betray, but as a whole, the business group has been completely tied to the chariot of the National Assembly. With this chariot All the way.
Of course, the business group knew what Shiaire was doing, but those lands were living money, and who said that the National Assembly would fail? So why not do it?
Shiaire's last resort was a relatively concealed one. He did it quietly and did not announce it to the public. That is, he used the ticket to pay the soldiers. In this way, the future of these soldiers would be the same as that of the merchants, who were tied to the citizens. On the chariot of the Council, you can only follow this chariot to the unknown front.
The "Grain Price Limit Act", "The Index Recycling Order" and "The Fugitive Offenders Act", the Standing Committee made a three-pronged attack in April. Although it failed to bring prices back to normal levels immediately, at least it began to stop slowly or even slightly decrease. , so that the civil resistance has been weakened a lot, and the National Assembly can be successfully recruited.
However, after these busy work, it was already June, and the scheduled troops were in place one after another. There were a total of 40 legions with a total of 120,000 troops.
120,000 people were recruited, but the National Assembly was only willing to recruit 120,000 people, not only 120,000 people. This is mainly because in the subsequent battles, the legion battle will be attrition and need to be replenished, and because of this A few years of chaos, resulting in a sharp drop in weapons production.
This is the background of Xiebo. You must know that the corps mobilized at this time are only from Moya Province and Nolansha Province, and Xiebo Province and South Xiebo Province have not been mobilized. If After they join the war, they can bring more troops to the National Assembly - provided that the National Assembly can still recruit troops.
On the other hand, Phoebe, Quiberon just conscripted 20 legions, and almost brought Phoebe to financial collapse, and many farmers have been squeezed and left their land to flee.
The population of the two provinces is also recruited, but the situation is so different. This is the strength gap between the industrial country and the old-fashioned country. Although the main force of Xibo is the citizen army~www.novelbuddy.com~ The quality of individual soldiers will be weaker, but This is already the era of the spirit gun, and the gap is not very big.
After hearing the mobilization of Shibo, the nobles of various countries also know that this means that there is no possibility of compromise, and the civil war will only become more and more violent, because after such mobilization, even if the National Assembly wins the civil war, it will Go bankrupt because of financial problems, know that this is a civil war and not a foreign war! No matter who wins or loses, the country will be devastated.
Of course, this is the result of assuming that the old aristocracy loses in this deadly game. On the other hand, if the old aristocracy wins, they will definitely make up for the losses they suffered in the civil war by taking the business group behind the National Assembly. So after three years of this civil war, it has completely turned into a battlefield of flesh and blood.
The reason why the National Assembly mobilized 40 legions in one go is mainly for two reasons. First, most of these soldiers are from the provinces of Moya and Nolanza, and the men from these two provinces have been taken away. Now, when the enemy attacked here, they would not be able to call up many troops, and the National Assembly could also call up troops from the further rear of the province of Sidney and South Sidney.
The second is the naval factor. At present, the newly recruited navy is still in training, and the new warship has not even been launched, so it can only rely on the remaining framework to make do.
Experienced officers said that as far as the current situation is concerned, the Xibo Navy needs three months of training before it can barely have a framework, and it will take a year of running-in before it can go to sea to fight, and it will take another two years of war before it can be called a navy. It is a navy, and the resources invested during the period cannot be interrupted. This is the price of training the navy.
Therefore, under the circumstance that it takes so long for the navy to recover its combat effectiveness, the previous Xibo navy could only maintain the coastline at most, and could not support the army like Lu Pudong punished Phoebe before.
