I Will Be The Crowned King

Although he was absolutely certain of the result, when the gloomy Harold announced unanimous approval, Anson couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Not to mention that there are no opponents, even if the members who support the reorganization of the parliament have an absolute majority, Anson must be ready to fight a war against rebellion.

In his eyes, the entire colony is already in his pocket; no matter how much damage is done, the one who ultimately bears the cost is himself, so of course, the less damage, the better.

Winning is only the first step. The real difficulty is how to end after victory. To end, both parties need to show enough sincerity, which means a certain degree of concessions and compromises.

The best counter-example in this regard is the war between the Empire and Clovis; the Empire launched a surprise attack in order to tear up the agreement, trying to destroy the rise of Clovis at one time; and Clovis is ready to come back with a Jedi counterattack, completely "piercing the Empire is a The truth about paper tigers.

As a result, the empire lost its credibility, and still failed to defeat Clovis' defense line in one breath; and Clovis suddenly realized that the paper tiger in front of him might be a little thick, and if he wanted to "completely penetrate", he might have to put himself in and die.

Neither side can get what they want most, but neither side is willing to make concessions or make compromises, so they can only be embarrassed and delay the war that could have ended in three months for a year.

A splendid hegemony battle between an established powerhouse and a young rookie eventually dragged on and refused to end; it turned into an infinitely extended overtime game, and it was basically a turn-based sit-in. garbage time.

Precisely because of this comparison, the Council did not persevere to the end and broke the net, and did not need to blow up half of the Beluga Harbor, which is really a fortunate thing.

The reorganization proposal was unanimously passed, and Mason Weizler, eager to show his loyalty, forced the members not to leave the seat and continued to vote to determine the specific links and measures between the various steps of the entire reform.

The first thing that was put forward was how to determine the status of members and the selection criteria.

After a brief quarrel, the standard was tentatively defined as "any person, other than pagans, natives, native pagans, immigrant natives, and women, possessing wealth or fixed assets of not less than a thousand gold coins, living in a colony Adult male immigrants who have been in the country for more than ten years” are eligible to be elected as MPs.

Basically, this is the "biggest common ground" that these congressmen can find in each other.

The electoral model is a differential election - as long as there are vacancies in the seats of 500 people, all the remaining members are eligible to elect new members, and finally a temporary "election committee" is responsible for voting.

The biggest effect of this rule is to deprive Harold of the most important means of controlling the parliament before—personnel power, making elections and identity public, and it is no longer possible to secretly insert his cronies into the parliament.

And with clear rules, members of parliament who relied on Harold to enter the parliament can also get rid of his imprint. After all, whoever is deprived or elected as a member of parliament in the future is the decision of the entire parliament, and it has nothing to do with Harold.

The second step of cooperating with this is to determine several positions in the parliament.

Doing so is also dividing up Harold's power-in order to beat the underdog, Mason Weizler first passed the definition of the position of "speaker": the foreign negotiator of the parliament, responsible for organizing, holding meetings, and maintaining the parliament. order, and is responsible for calling the votes every time the motion is voted on.

Basically, Harold was cut down to the point where only the "Foreign Secretary", "Disciplinary Committee" and "Ticket Teller" were left with three powers, and nothing left.

Of course, he did not forget that Harold was able to become the speaker because of the support of many farms outside Beluga Harbour; in order to make up for their "loss of influence" in the parliament, Mason made one of the two powers of the parliament. property rights were distributed to them.

In this way, even in order to maintain the power of "taxation", these farms must unswervingly abandon Harold and stand on the side of the "reformers".

As the leader of the Beluga Harbor Chamber of Commerce and the "first person to rebel against Harold", Mason Weizler also unceremoniously appointed himself the "Chief Chairman of the Council", holding the executive power of the Council.

At the same time, the Faithful Alliance has also been identified as "the only official belief organization in the Ice Dragon Fjord". Any new immigrants must register information with the Alliance, otherwise they will be regarded as heretics not protected by colonial laws, donations to the Alliance and Any fixed assets in his name do not need to pay taxes to the parliament... It is a return to Bishop Ripper and his fanatics.

After dividing the cake, Mason successively passed the "Committee Establishment Act", "Fishery Resources Development Act", "Garrison Legion Farm Reclamation Act", "Colonial Road Construction Act", "City Planning Act"...

The lawmakers, who had not slept all day and night, were drowsy and tried to pass these motions one by one; at first, some people would raise a few objections or ideas, but soon everyone lost their minds, and only Hands up and clapping all the time.

Harold on the stage was also energetic, mechanically announcing the passage of bills one by one.

Mason Weizler's purpose was simple: to bind interests with a slew of bills, to make parliamentary reorganization a given, so that even if someone - like Harold - wanted to do anything, or who - like Harold - If you want to overthrow, the resistance will be much greater.

By this moment, Mason had completely figured out what the "surprise" Anson was referring to in the letter.

He deliberately pretended not to expose the fact that he had assassinated him, and made everyone believe that Harold wanted to kill both of them at the same time; in this way, in order to clear the responsibility, he must betray Harold, and he must sell it thoroughly-because this Only then can everyone believe that he is the one who was betrayed.

In the eyes of others, they were betrayed by Harold before turning to Anson Bach to take revenge, but in fact they both knew that Harold had nothing to do with this matter.

Anson Bach... He doesn't need to be hard at all, he has to do everything he can to do all the dirty work for him, so that he can take over the entire Beluga Harbor Council easily and cleanly.

Even if Harold's own supporters wanted to hate, they would not hate Ansen Bach first - because he was an outsider - but himself as a traitor.

So the surprise is that he doesn't have to say a word, he has to control the Beluga Harbor Council for him in order to survive, and at the same time bear all the blame.

This is what he calls "surprise"!

This is the surprise he left for himself!

………………

At four twenty-five in the afternoon, outside the parliament gate.

The meeting to decide the future of the Beluga Harbor Council finally came to an end before dark. With the cheers of victory, the protesters left in an orderly manner under the guidance of the soldiers of the Storm Division and returned to their respective communities.

Although they failed to overthrow the parliament and hang the infidels, they got more in return!

First and foremost, everyone is finally able to run for election.

Although there must be proof of property and the premise is that there are vacancies in the parliament and the election of a certain member of the parliament, the success rate of ordinary immigrants in practice is still infinitely close to zero.

But that's not the point! The point is equality of opportunity and everyone can be a human being.

Of course, this "person" refers to a very rich adult man who has lived in Beluga Port for more than ten years.

The belief in the Ring of Order has finally been publicly recognized, which is definitely a great thing for the devout people who occupy the absolute majority in Beluga Harbor - of course, it is definitely a great disaster for pagans and indigenous people.

The exhausted lawmakers also left, and the moment they walked out of the gate, they were greeted by waves of cheers from the protesters.

The people who gnashed their teeth and wanted to hang them before, now hold them up like heroes, and praise their contributions to Beluga Harbor, which makes the members excited and scared, and there are not a few people who fainted directly.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Anson Bach."

In front of the parliament gate, Harold, whose face was extremely ugly, had bloodshot eyes, and said coldly to An Sen, who was surrounded by guards: "From now on, Beluga Harbor... No, the entire Ice Dragon Fjord colony is yours."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Faced with the resentment of the Reservoir Dogs, An Sen calmly acted as if nothing had happened:

"As you can see, I'm just the garrison commander of Beluga Harbor; the reorganization and reform of the parliament have nothing to do with me, I just hope that the colony can continue to be prosperous and stable."

"Yes, prosperity and stability..."

Harold sneered, his eyes gradually darkened: "And this prosperity and stability must be under the supervision of Your Excellency Anson Bach and the rule of the Rune family... Right?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Anson blinked, neither admitting nor denying.

"No, that's great!" Harold laughed instead of getting angry:

"I just blame myself a little for not seeing what you really think at first, thinking you are someone to work with; obviously, I was so wrong!"

"The day you arrived at Beluga Port, if I didn't greet you with the garrison commander, but with the governor's specifications, would the outcome of things be a little different?"

"I don't know, maybe yes." Anson chuckled: "But I'm really just a garrison commander, and I'm very happy to cooperate with the Beluga Harbor Council - provided it can fulfill its responsibilities."

"Exactly!"

Mason Weizler, who was beside him, suddenly spoke, and looked at Harold without showing weakness.

"The long-term inaction of the White Whale Harbor Council in the past led to the continuous outbreak of various problems during the previous period, which has evolved into what it is now!" Mason said solemnly:

"But now that it has been restructured, the parliament has been reborn from the ashes and is ready to contribute to the prosperity and stability of Beluga Port."

"Yeah, under the leadership of Chairman Mason Weizler, Beluga Port will be safe and prosperous for a long time." Harold seemed to not care, and even reluctantly squeezed a smile at him:

"I can't wait to cooperate with your work and contribute my share to the future Beluga Harbor Council."

Without waiting for the other party to respond, Harold turned around calmly and left the Beluga Harbor Council in full view of the crowd.

The soldiers on both sides and the legislators who had not gone far watched him leave without anyone obstructing him. Some members even took off their hats to salute him.

Mason, who was still complacent just now, distorted his expression when he saw this scene.

"This is just the beginning. It will take time for you to completely control the Council." Anson watched Harold's back and whispered to Mason beside him:

"Set up several new committees as soon as possible to divide the forces in the parliament that still secretly support Harold; don't forget, the farms outside the city are his real basics."

"Understood, I'll put the settlement of Legion Farm on the agenda." Mason took a deep breath and said with trepidation, "Ten days, at most ten days, I can convince them."

The most powerful means for the Beluga Harbor Council to threaten the Storm Division is logistics, and most of these rely on the farms outside the city to provide; once the Legion Farms are completed, the influence of these farms on the Storm Division will be greatly weakened.

"Very good, I'll leave it all to you, Chairman Mason Weitzler." Anson patted him on the shoulder and said:

"There is also the 'that' thing, which must be implemented as soon as possible."

"Definitely!" Mason trembled, and didn't even dare to look up and look at Anson:

"Soon, it won't last long!"

He is very clear that Anson is talking about pagan armed things~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Raising mercenary groups, loner adventurers, indigenous people, talents who conceal their identities, and even the old gods... This is in vain It's not even a secret within the Whale Harbor Council; almost all of the councillors do this except for Bishop Ripper and his fanatical followers.

And Ansen Bach doesn't even need him to actually disband these people, all he wants is a list.

Saying goodbye to the terrified Mason, Anson boarded the carriage that Talia prepared for him, and returned to the headquarters accompanied by Fabian and the soldiers of the guard company.

Lying comfortably on the seat in the carriage, Anson, who was completely relaxed, straightened his legs, took out a bottle of rum from the drawer of the wine cabinet, "Bang!" and bit off the cork, ready to drink a few glasses first Celebrate and then...

"Um?"

Looking at the wine bottle in his hand, An Sen, who reached out to the wine glass with the other hand, was suddenly stunned.

He pretended to look at the wine bottle in his hand to hide his surprise.

Besides myself... there was a second person in the carriage.

And it still is!

Although I can't feel any breath or even any trace, the "power" that has been activated is still reminding myself - there is another person sitting opposite!

After hesitating for a few seconds, he sighed softly, took out two glasses from the wine cabinet and placed them on the small table in front of the seat. seat:

"Rum, Tirpitz—would you like a drink?"
