While Elvin and the others were busy climbing up the technology tree, on the other side of the Black Sea, the "Low Countries Republic" was busy with the most important event after the establishment of the country — the election.
After a huge amount of money was spent, the capital, Antwerp, was restored at an astonishing speed.
Even though it was the cold winter of November, the voting stations were still crowded with people. The long line was almost a hundred meters long, as if all the residents of the city had rushed to the streets.
Everyone's face was filled with joy that even the cold wind couldn't hide.
A few young people who looked like newspaper reporters surrounded a middle-aged voter who came to vote. They didn't forget to take notes on their notebooks.
"Sir, do you have anything to say about the current election system of the Republic?"
"Today's scene is something I never imagined in my 40 years of life. The person who can decide who will become the head of state is actually every citizen of the Republic?
The purpose of the government isn't to exploit but to serve its people. This is the beautiful life that Mr. Orange has brought to us. "
“.....”
"Then, which candidate are you going to support to become the first Prime Minister today?"
"Hahaha, of course, I'm going to support Mr. Constance Harlan who promised to provide loans to small workshops to purchase steam engines for industrial transformation.
Actually, I'd like to vote for Mr. William Orange, but unfortunately, he didn't participate. "
After the interview, he didn't forget to clench his fist and shout at the reporters.
"We've chased away the dictator of Shilius. The great people of the Republic are the masters of the country!"
Although half of Antwerp was destroyed by the [Ocean's Fury Horn], due to the blessing of the "Angel of Prosperity", the city's wealth, reputation, reputation, and status as a cultural center were further consolidated.
As the city was rebuilt, the lost population was quickly replenished, and it even became more prosperous.
In the process of the birth of this new country, one of the greatest innovations was made by the "Republic's Bill of Rights".
All citizens of the Republic who were 25 years old and registered in the tax register had the right to vote. Even those who had reached a certain level of economic strength and reached 35 years old could also obtain the right to vote!
This bill, proposed by William Orange, Speaker of the House of Lords, soon captured the hearts of every citizen.
We can decide who will be the ruler ourselves, and there's such a good thing?!
Ding!
"Mr. Saint William, everything here is developing in a good direction. The Low Countries Republic will definitely become the" Beacon of Democracy "of the entire human world.
From today on, all the newspapers, poets, and singers under our control will sing the praises of 'democracy' for us all over the world. Countless people who have been oppressed by the feudal monarchy will look forward to our liberation! "
In the Congress building not far from the voting station, a gold-robed clergyman retracted his gaze and clinked his glass with another middle-aged gentleman.
"It's all for God's cause, Archbishop Barrett!"
William Orange smiled. He had gotten what he wanted. The clergyman who was responsible for persuading the Nederland banking group to join the great plan had obviously gotten what he wanted as well (Chapter 634).
The Republic of the Republic Republic Republic Republic of Parliament, the Republic Republic Republic Republic House of Parliament, the House of Upper and the House of House of the House of legislative and House of house of House of Parliament legislative and supervising legislative and of the system system system system system.
However, the position of the House of Lords was the most special. Not only was it the legislative body, but it was also the highest judicial body for civil and criminal cases.
Its decisions were binding on all lower courts.
Democratically elected? Since all the candidates were on the same side, what difference did it make who was elected?
The Eye of Wealth was committed to uniting the big capitalists and big bankers from all over the world. It wasn't just the Old Continent that was the center of human civilization. The Confederation of Golden Palm in the New Continent would also be their experimental country.
In their system design, they might gradually withdraw from the state of fighting with bare hands in the future. They would only control the country's political power as an agent.
After all, their vision wasn't limited to the Low Countries Republic. Their future conquest was the entire world!
"Your Excellency Saint William, the Holy Angel of Prosperity's oracle has been issued. We will fully cooperate with the Eye of Wealth's plan."
Orange's eyes lit up.
"Is the new armed force, the Democracy Fighters, ready?"
"Of course! If you're interested, it won't be a problem for them to jump to Rank-3! "
At this moment.
The Church of Wealth had completely given up its privileges in the Low Countries. It had abandoned all influence of religious authority on the secular world, allowing the big capitalists of the Eye of Wealth to be able to do whatever they wanted.
The Hapsburg family that originally ruled here had also been expelled at the beginning of the war.
Now, in the face of the power of capital, religion, imperial power, and all other authoritarian forces could no longer compete with it.
And what was money? Money was the most powerful right in the world! The world was bustling, and everyone came for profit. The world was bustling, and everyone came and went for profit.
Who in the world didn't love money? The Eye of Wealth could fund it!
Who in the world didn't love power? The Eye of Wealth could support it!
This was an unstoppable trend.
In the past, although the bank group was very powerful, they didn't have a strong backer.
They could only hide abroad and use the checks and balances between different countries to ensure their own safety. Now that they had a true god backing them, it was as if they had obtained the protection of a golden body.
They couldn't wait to spread the glory of capital and democracy to the entire world.
If there was a 10% profit, the capital was guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there was a 20% profit, the capital could be completely active;
If there was a 50% profit, the capital would take risks; if there was a 100% profit, the capital dared to trample on all human laws;
For a profit of more than 300%, the capital dared to commit any crime, even risking the danger of hanging.
Conquering their citizens, occupying their countries, plundering their wealth, harvesting their faith …
At this moment, the big capitalists were so bold that there was nothing they didn't dare to do!
And the essence of "democracy" was the will of the majority, or directly satisfying the selfish desires of the majority. It coincided with "money is supreme", and it was also the supreme weapon that the super capitalists needed.
As long as they experienced this system, "We want democracy too!", "Parasites feel good!", "No one can make me go back to the past!" would become the voice of all the people.
After the trend was set off, the feudal autocracy of a country would be shaken from the bottom.
Then, they would turn into the vanguard of resisting the autocracy of the monarchy. Whether it was providing faith or driving the trend, they were excellent carriers.
On the surface, everyone had a sacred vote. They could choose the democratic leader they liked and then decide the fate of the country.
And for votes, the democratic leaders naturally had to work hard to improve national welfare after they came to power and seek the well-being of every voter.
In fact, from the voters to the head of state, they were just marionettes of the "Eye of Wealth".
On the other side.
Like Elvin and Levina, the ruling class who had self-restraint and knew how to implement "wealth redistribution" to ease social conflicts were in the minority after all.
Most of the royal families were better at using violence than benefits to rule the people. When the time came, even if the ruling class wanted to use violence to suppress, could they still slaughter all their own people?
What was even worse was that the extraordinary profession [Democracy Fighter] that was branded in the material world by the "Angel of Prosperity" had been released.
Promotion requirements: Believe in the "Angel of Prosperity" and obtain the support of a hundred people to be promoted to the first level of [Democracy Fighter]. Obtain extraordinary abilities such as [Bewitchment], [Surge of Public Opinion], and so on.
The more people there were, the greater the influence, and the faster the promotion.
Once it was established, it was very likely that it would no longer be a scourge that traditional Extraordinaries could contain.
Then.
The democratic election mechanism of one person, one vote meant that capital could influence or buy every vote. If all the countries in the world implemented this system, the international transnational capital "Eye of Wealth" would be able to control the politics of any country.
Within the same country, it could also support multiple opposing factions. It was enough to ensure that no matter which candidate came to power, they would have to take care of the interests of the "Eye of Wealth".
In such a political environment, the more populism prevailed, the better. The more anti-intellectual the people were, the better. The more "independent thinking" they had, the smoother this wave of leeks would be.
So.
Turbulence warning.
He's here, he's here, he's here with democracy!
.....
For the time being, the human world's flies and dogs did not affect Elvin and the other wizards' journey to explore the world above the sky.
Whoosh!
A sparkling light spot waved eight light ribbons. With the help of the powerful propulsion system from the [Life Magnetic Field], it broke through the shackles of the planet and rushed all the way into deep space.
The projection inside the bridge of the [Jewel Creek] showed that the surrounding scenery was retreating rapidly.
For aerospace, whether it was the first cosmic speed or the second cosmic speed, it referred to the speed under the condition of no power.
If there was continuous power, even if the speed of the aircraft was very slow and did not reach the standard of the first cosmic speed, as long as it could overcome the gravity, it could fly around the planet.
Even if there was an infinitely long ladder, they could climb all the way up along the ladder and go directly to the extragalactic star system a million light-years away without any problems.
The [Jewel Creek] broke through the troposphere and stratosphere like lightning.
Without the obstruction of atmospheric matter, the vision was clear. Even the most inconspicuous stars were so dazzling.
Sitting on a chair extended from the bridge, Elvin held Olivia's hand. The two looked at each other and smiled. They felt that just this beautiful scenery alone was worth the ticket price.
However, under the leadership of Milan and Calvin, a group of disciples wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves.
"Aha, the world beyond the planet, we're here!"
