Chapter 588 The whole country surrenders
.
After hearing the three conditions for surrender offered by Ananda, William believed her. He thought for a moment and knew that there was no way out now and that it was a blessing to save the life of the family. He answered readily: "There is nothing to say about success, the king and the defeat of the enemy. I agree to your conditions. I will not say anything else, but An Qier..."
William had many unmarried NV in the palace, but he asked Angel alone, and he felt a little guilty about her being able to stand up today. The emperor's sons had many descendants, and some of them had not seen each other for many years. Children grew up fast, and it was not easy to recognize them all, and it was a bit extravagant to say that their relationship was a bit luxurious.
Ananda suddenly understood why Zhang Ziqiang was not in a hurry to have a child. It turned out that he was afraid that with more children in the future, he would dilute his love for Tianxi. At this time, Ananda was a little confused. In her traditional thought, she wanted the family to prosper. Zhang Ziqiang valued love, and she valued blood. Kailin, Zhang Zhong and Zhang Yan had a completely different status from Zhang Tianxi in her heart. The difference in closeness and distantness for them was far greater than that of Zhang Ziqiang himself. She either diluted her love for Tianxi, or as long as she was the only seedling, she was very hesitant.
When she remembered this, she had a headache and wanted to let the master take the initiative. Anyway, he had the cultivation level, so he could decide whether to have a child or not. He just wanted to support him! So Ananda waved impatiently and said, "An Qier is a good person. I like him. I will train her for a few years and let her serve my emperor. If the emperor doesn't like him, he will let her go back then."
After she said that, she didn't care about William who was in shock, and she told Ermao and other soldiers to take the NV people back to the inner palace. The queen was also dragged away on the spot. She cried and ignored her. She only left the second concubine to thank her. She stood up and helped William who was gritting her teeth in pain. She wanted to call the medical officer but didn't dare.
Ananda nodded to the Nascent Soul monk around her, and told her to help William deal with the injuries in her hands. When the Nascent Soul monk took action, William's pain disappeared immediately. Although the finger injury was not so easy, it was a magical skill to temporarily rectify bones and cut off the meridians without using yào objects. It made William and others wonder, and they were even more confused about the origin of Ananda and others. Why did it sound like the leader was not Kestow? And everyone had strange ways of thinking, where did these people come from?
A Nascent Soul monk asked An Qier to sort out and wash. Ananda went outside to inspect the defense capabilities. He saw that people from the Claw Base had occupied the key points and various heavy weapons were also set up. The garrison troops in the Sixth Ring City had already surrounded the palace, and the two sides formed a confrontation. However, the garrison troops did not know the situation of the palace and did not know whether William had fallen into the enemy's hands. Therefore, they were hesitant and did not dare to attack rashly.
Ananda knew that the battle could not be fought. He waited for a few words everywhere and returned to the hall. Seeing that William's injuries had been treated, she pointed outside and said, "You contact the troops outside and let them mainly enter the palace!"
William was also very bachelor. He was a little tough at first, but now he seemed to have died and saved his life again. At this time, he cherished his life more than ever and quickly took the initiative to cooperate with Ananda's large-scale surrender operation.
He immediately contacted the commander of the garrison outside. The commander of the troops stationed in the capital was equivalent to the "Admiral of the Nine Mén" in ancient China. All of them were the emperor's absolute confidants. After William explained the conditions for surrender in detail, they decided to surrender. The people who were loyal to Arika decided to surrender this time. Everyone knew about the civilized management envoy of the Sect Master Randy Boss. Now that the revenge is coming, what are you still resisting? Surrender...
At William's request, Lieutenant General Fern, commander-in-chief of the garrison, led more than a dozen generals into the palace, but his troops did not lift the alert. It was because he was afraid that Ananda would start killing. In the change of dynasties, some subordinates always took advantage of the commander who was bare.
Ananda was lying about Fern, but she could understand, who didn't want to have a good future? She didn't seize every opportunity to climb up, so how could she be today? So she comforted Fern with kind words, promised him that everything would not change, and as his commander-in-chief of the garrison, and ordered the two cats to select 50 tiger soldiers to "protect" the generals of the garrison troops, which is also the meaning of the question.
Controlling the garrison troops is equivalent to controlling the Sixth Ring Road of the Capital. Ananda immediately ordered preparations for war to prevent troops from coming from other areas. At the same time, William also asked the foreign countries to urgently release news of unconditional surrender.
During the morning news, the people of Arica saw the news of the unconditional surrender of the Empire Emperor William IX, and were in a panic.
William has several news reports to the outside world. First, he insisted on being enemies with the Sect Master, which caused this disaster. He was ashamed of the people of Arica and was willing to abdicate the new emperor appointed by the Sect Master in five days. Secondly, he dissolved the current cabinet and summoned the main administrative officials of the three major planets, the administrative officials of each state, the administrative officials of 16 space cities, the chief officials of each space station, the commanders of the five fleets, and all officers above the actual position of major generals and above entered the palace to pay homage to the new emperor.
After Ananda's inquiry and understanding, he found that the military and political system of the Arica Empire was also interesting. Since the Emperor of the Empire, there were five cabinet masters. The emperor was in charge of military affairs. The emperor did not directly handle government affairs. The imperial team was only responsible to the emperor. Every year, the empire had to set a certain proportion of taxes as military expenses and support the royal family. The empire had not fought for a long time, and only some pirates made small fuss. The annual military expenses were greatly surplus, so the royal family invested the surplus again.
The members of the imperial royal family are not permanent. Those who are more than three generations away from the current emperor can automatically leave the royal family, but they can get a lot of property when they leave the royal family. The royal princess also have a good dowry when they get married. The more they share, the less they share, are customized according to the blood relationship and the degree of favor they receive.
Therefore, although the royal family has a large industry, it seems that military expenditures are surplus every year, but many are divided. Once a foreign war occurs or internal rebellion occurs, the royal family's wealth will shrink significantly. The imperial finance will not pay for the war, but if the royal family is really short of money, the Imperial Bank and major consortiums are willing to lend to the royal family, as long as the royal family mortgages it with taxes.
The army of the empire was recruiting troops, and the soldiers' income was very high. All those who served in the army were equivalent to the white-collar class, let alone the generals. Therefore, every time they recruit soldiers, those in the empire whose families were not good or who were not satisfied with their current life would squeeze their heads and sign up for the army.
While the army is at a high salary, it also has strict requirements on soldiers. The so-called raising soldiers is spent for a thousand days, and even if you enter the army, you will have no choice but to have your own life. In the interstellar era, as long as a space war occurs, the death rate has always remained much higher. Therefore, those who joined the army earned this high income and were mentally prepared to die in the starry sky.
If you were a soldier in the empire, you would not have experienced a military rank before you retire. Except for not applying for retirement in wars, you would have to apply for retirement every year as long as you have three years of military service in other periods, and the same is true for officers.
Of course, it is okay for veterans to stay in the army to support their elderly care. There is a lot of logistics support work in the army without age. Now is not an era of physical work. The royal family also likes these veterans, at least they have enough experience and have eliminated the training time of recruits. They have been waiting for the veterans to automatically leave the army when they reach the retirement age. There is no retirement pension at all. Will they have no savings after being a soldier for so many years? Will they not buy insurance and invest in some investment? If this is true, it is no wonder that others will!
Whether it is an officer or an ordinary soldier, they only earn different incomes in the army. After they are discharged from the army, everyone is the same, all unemployed. The army does not care about the disabled, and their own insurance companies compensate for compensation. In fact, there are very few disabilities in interstellar wars. Even if they are interrupted in ground wars, the medical technology of the empire can keep you intact. There are usually only two types of compensation for soldiers by insurance companies, one is death compensation and the other is pension. In peacetime, soldiers are the best customers of insurance companies.
In the army, we have to be promoted to school officials based on military merits to have the opportunity to be loyal to the royal family. After the royal family accepted the loyalty of school officials, the salary of officers increased significantly again, and retirement and retirement were also included in the royal family. The most important thing is that we finally have the qualifications to be a captain - to choose the captain in the army, major-level officers who have been accepted by the royal family are one of the necessary conditions.
Of course, not all officers who were loyal to the royal family were really loyal, otherwise Gaston would not have surrendered. It was like the Chinese party membership, and few people were really loyal to the party. There were also many factions in Arica.
It is very difficult for an officer to advance one step further. There are only a few positions in total, and there is no saying that he enjoys the treatment of a lieutenant general or general. Only the chief officers at all levels can be generals. Military ranks change according to their position. During wars, those with high ranks can definitely command those with low ranks, and there will be no things that laymen command experts. Space battles cannot be careless, and one general is incompetent to exhaust the three armies. The loss of defeat is the royal family's money. His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to fight with his own money.
Because of this system, the royal family still has a strong control over most of Arica's army. This is why Gaston agreed to surrender and participate in the rebellion, but did not dare to announce and cooperate in the fleet, but instead temporarily locked up Hannie up - if he openly rebels, the Ministry of Military Police would dare to arrest him as the chief officer. If he arrested him as the chief officer, the Ministry of Military Police would have made great contributions and be promoted.
This is Arica's military system, and its political system is also very interesting. The cabinet and the cabinet are very democratic, and are elected by the whole nation. Technology has developed to the level of three-level civilization. The online identity is no different from the real identity. The election of the nation is similar to the voting survey on the Chinese Internet. However, each level of administration has a specific official website. As long as the public has verified their identity and voted for one vote, they will participate in the election. Most people will not miss this kind of voting opportunity because there are credit points to get!
