From the end of 2020 to the beginning of 2021, the most important news in the northern part of Jili Kingdom is that Princess Ketia, on behalf of the Beli royal family, awarded honors to three respectable philanthropists.
After Berkeley heard about it, he sighed again and again, why didn't such a person appear in Mowang City?Now that the Beli royal family has done this, he also intends to reward and commend these three lords separately in the name of the central government of Jili Kingdom, and confer the highest honorary title on Jili Kingdom.
The matter was arranged, but the official who handled it replied to him-several lords could not be contacted.It was true that Feng Zibin and Mr. Fogan could not be contacted, but the phone call to Rochester's office was still connected.Rothschild himself did not answer, but his staff politely and tactfully refused.
Later, when he was busy with many things, Berkeley could no longer take care of them.
In the first half of 2021, the new alliance liberated the city of Banda and completely cleared the guard front.Berkeley heard about this situation, but didn't pay much attention to it.The Guard Front was originally an armed force farthest from the central government's control area and under the weakest control. It seems that there has been an internal power change, with a change of leader and a change of name.
Why did Berkeley judge that this was an internal change of power?Because the information he saw showed that this change did not cause large-scale riots, the time was short, and the casualties were negligible.
It wasn't until August 2021 that the New Alliance Army suddenly crossed the Madarabi River and the Wago Desert and liberated the city of Wago controlled by the Lion Organization, which attracted Berkeley's attention and vigilance.He mobilized military and police forces to deploy defenses on the northern border, and made a special trip to collect various intelligence on the new alliance for analysis.
But he never expected that just three months after the new alliance captured Wage City, it would go south again in a big way. The defense troops he organized were almost collapsed at the first touch, and the opponent actually directly entered the capital during the light rainy season.
At that time, the main force of the Hope Front could no longer be contacted. I don't know if most of them were captured or fled in all directions.Seeing that the general situation was over, many high-level officials in the government persuaded Berkeley to quickly retreat to Diga City, where they started their business and traditional sphere of influence, and retreated first in order to make a comeback.
They all came to a wrong judgment, thinking that the new coalition wanted to launch a military coup, seize the central government and hold another election, so that its leader Charles would ascend to the presidency.
They thought they could still keep their territory in Diga City, as long as they were willing to submit to the jurisdiction of the central government in name.This is what the Hope Front did in the past. Since the establishment of Jili Kingdom, everyone has come here for so many years.
Berkeley was unwilling to leave, his self-esteem and pride did not allow him to leave as a loser.He is the most outstanding president in the history of Jili Kingdom, and he has to organize the most elite and loyal guards to fight a battle to defend the capital.
But many of my father's old subordinates back then fled to Tiga City in a hurry.In fact, the new alliance is that the east and west armies go south at the same time, and it is easier to liberate Diga City than Mowang City.Those people were captured before they could escape to the place, and they are being screened by the new alliance.
The defense of the capital organized by Berkeley was also very unsuccessful. The New Alliance Army advanced block by block, and the political management cadres followed up with the reorganization of the grassroots order. There were not many decent battles.
Knowing that the general situation was over, Berkeley was persuaded by those around him to rush to an airport that had not yet been captured, and temporarily go overseas, such as the country of Yin.But Berkeley also refused, and he decided to stay here and talk to Charles face to face.
In fact, if he really wants to run, whether he can run away depends on the thoughts of the decision-makers of the new alliance.
The Jili State military has several fighter jets, but after the war, there is no chance to take off. The reason is the same as the group of wheeled armored vehicles organized by the Lions.At that time, the new coalition forces had not yet captured the airport, but the special service team had already sneaked into the airport, but they did not prevent the passenger planes carrying evacuees or fugitives from taking off and landing.
At the last moment, Berkeley specially hired the military chief adviser from Yin Country with a high salary, and gave him an idea of turning the tables or taking revenge.
At that time, Berkeley had hundreds of presidential guards left, which were the most elite and loyal troops under his command.The reason why these troops are still there is because they did not go to the front line, they guarded the most core blocks of Mowang City to deal with emergencies, and they didn't even know the specific situation on the front line.
The military adviser made two suggestions.He first advised Berkeley to leave Guliguo as soon as possible with the evacuation flight, and then he could return to Tiga City from overseas afterwards.At that time, they didn't know that the city of Diga was not saved.
The second suggestion is very vicious. It is to let the presidential guard disguise as the New Alliance Army and attack the embassies of various countries in Guli, preferably causing heavy casualties.
In this way, an internal coup can turn into a terrorist attack or even a massacre that shocked the world, involving external forces, leading to the intervention of the international community, and thus destroying the new alliance by false hands.
Because if the Hope Front wants to make a comeback, even with the old territory of Diga City, it will be difficult to confront the new alliance militarily. Only by using this trick can the situation be reversed.
Berkeley in the presidential palace broke out in a cold sweat. Not only did he reject the proposal, he also ordered the arrest of the military adviser for interrogation on the spot, and learned that some of the presidential guard had already gone to "perform" this "mission".It was the "advice" privately given by the military general adviser, and several officers were more than willing to lead teams to do so themselves.
It was only then that Berkeley realized that not only was the country under his rule completely out of control, he could not completely control even the most trusted presidential guard.
The last order he urgently issued was to order the last guard that could be mobilized around the presidential palace to rush to the embassy area to stop the incident and protect the safety of each embassy until the new alliance army took over, at which time they could choose to surrender.
Berkeley cannot accept such a suggestion, and must try his best to prevent such a thing from happening. Such a vicious strategy is too appalling and has broken through conscience and the bottom line.Even if his regime is overthrown, he still has to protect the reputation of himself and Jili Kingdom.
Berkeley ordered the last remaining guards to protect the embassy area. In fact, there was no time, but the embassies of various countries were not captured by the rebels.Out of nowhere, another group of armed men with godly marksmanship appeared, defeated and cleaned up the disorderly army, and then the vanguard of the New Alliance Army also arrived.
It was the special service infiltration teams sent by the New Alliance to protect the embassy area in time.They had sneaked into Mowang City long ago, and then gathered in the embassy area and acted in unison. They gathered about 200 people. This was Wang Fengshou's order in advance.
There are more than 100 countries that have recognized Guli State internationally and have nominally established diplomatic relations with it.However, due to frequent coups and wars, more than 50 embassies have been established in Mowang City and have long-term diplomatic personnel stationed there.
When the New Alliance Army launched its southward operation, many countries evacuated their diplomats and organized emergency evacuation of overseas Chinese. Anyway, there were not many serious expatriates here, and the agents of the New Alliance Army did not hinder the take-off and landing of passenger planes at Mowan Airport.
By the time the New Alliance Army captured the main city of Mowang, there were only a dozen or so embassies still stationed by diplomats, and the diplomatic personnel of the rest of the embassies had already evacuated, leaving only local staff to guard them.
When the military adviser privately gave "suggestions, why would there be an officer in the guard leading his men to do it? Chaos will release the evil of human nature, and more importantly, it is profitable to attack and loot those embassies. There should be a lot of value in it." It’s a good thing! You don’t need to be responsible afterwards, and you can push all the crimes to the new alliance.
Wang Fengshou did not expect this incident, but he was only instinctively worried that as the New Alliance Army advanced block by block, the chaos in the unliberated blocks would spread to the embassy district.
Therefore, when formulating the military plan, he suggested sending a vanguard force directly into the embassy area, and at the same time send a special service infiltration team to gather in the embassy area to maintain order and protect the embassies, especially those with diplomatic envoys left behind. It's the embassy of the Eastern Kingdom, so we can't let people take the opportunity to create chaos.
The last place the New Alliance Army captured was the presidential palace, and it could not be regarded as an occupation, but took over directly. Berkeley became a prisoner of war sitting in his office.He never left, tried his best to maintain his dignity, and made a request to the staff of the new alliance that he would meet with Charles to discuss state affairs.
Chapter 346 A Long Letter From Dunche
Why didn't Berkeley escape?On the one hand, it was because of pride and dignity, on the other hand, he thought he understood the new alliance and Shire.
Since August last year, he has ordered to collect intelligence on the new alliance through various channels, and then made a lot of analysis. He has even carefully studied the twelve speeches of Charles.
In Charles, he can find some shadow of himself, calm, rational, full of enthusiasm and vitality at the same time, he should also be an idealist.
The new alliance should be an organization that steals from the rich and gives to the poor, although they don't seem to have chanted such a slogan yet.After the new alliance occupied the city, a large number of rich people's assets were confiscated and became a source of financial funds.
But they showed restraint and did not plunder or destroy, but wanted to occupy the new territory for a long time, so the social order was quickly restored.This is a group that tends to be lawful, as can be seen from the public speeches given by their leader, the Shire.
Their military strength is very strong, their troops are well-trained and well-equipped, and their commanders are especially capable. Therefore, there is almost no loss in the process of expansion and advancement, and the battles end quickly.
Although they also suppressed a group of people, the number was very limited, and they did not retaliate against the rebels on a large scale.
But probably because its main members are all from the lower classes and have received little education, they seem to know little about safeguarding and respecting human rights.Many of the captured people were sent to reformation camps for so-called reformation, requiring them to obey the rules set by the new alliance.
The New Alliance has launched a campaign to organize public gatherings before punishing the enemy, allowing people to accuse and humiliate the enemy in public, to arouse their hatred and recall their trauma, instead of teaching the public to learn to forgive and heal the trauma.
In Berkeley's view, even criminals have human dignity, and it is enough for the courts to try and convict them.The new alliance undoubtedly used the method of personality humiliation to stir up public hatred, which would intensify social conflicts.
Many of the people who were humiliated were respectable social elites, and they were usually the most hated people at the bottom of society.The new alliance may do this to prove the justice of its own actions, and it is also a means of coercing the people.
But from a higher level, doing so will only spread hatred and not solve the real problem.If the country and society want to develop, they still need to rely on the elites who have mastered knowledge and wealth and know how to use this knowledge and wealth to promote it.
But in any case, the new alliance is also a military and political organization that emphasizes order, and there are indications that they also have the will to build this country well.
The assets confiscated and confiscated by the new alliance were not destroyed or looted, but were taken over and continued to maintain and operate. Although they still lack knowledge in economics, they are working hard after all.
When suppressing the enemy, although there are deviations of humiliating personality and provoking conflicts, the new alliance generally follows the principle of procedural justice.Berkeley appreciated most that the few repressed had established crimes and charges.
So he feels that Shire can communicate, and he can sit down and have a good talk to find the best result for both parties and the country.
Berkeley believes that since he took office, he has always been clean and upright, and he is more clean and upright than almost all officials in this country. After he has a deep understanding of the new alliance's behavior style, he also has a little confidence to stay.
Of course, he still has another confidence coming from Tiga City, which is his sphere of influence. Even if others are here, they still have a strong enough force behind them.
The new coalition has seized the capital, but the Front for Hope can still negotiate with it to form a more cohesive government and bring the fragmented country together.
The weakest control of the original central government is the three states in the north of Jili Kingdom, and the new alliance has already occupied these three states.If they want to integrate this country, they still need more experienced and knowledgeable people to help. At least at the level of governing the country, Berkeley still has a lot to teach Shire.
After the presidential palace was controlled by the new alliance, Berkeley didn't even know whether he was a prisoner of war, because he still lived here, and no one restricted his freedom of movement except for his weapons being searched and his former service personnel withdrawn. , he just couldn't get out of the presidential palace.
Although the living conditions have become much more difficult, at least three meals a day are still provided, so he has plenty of time to sort out his thoughts and think about various issues.Many times when he thinks about it, he is almost moved by his noble feelings.
He is now unable to communicate with the outside world and has been cut off from news. The computer in the presidential palace has been removed, and his mobile phone has also been taken away. He can only read some books and magazines on weekdays.
After requesting an interview with Charles, he waited a long time without hearing back.He didn't understand what was going on. Could it be that Charles was so inexperienced in politics? Since he had captured his own president, didn't he understand the political value of it?Whatever he wanted to do, it should have been done long ago!
There is another thing that is even more strange. Why didn't Charles himself stay in the presidential palace, but continued to put him under house arrest?Do you think this presidential palace is not good and want to build another presidential palace?But this presidential palace is already magnificent and majestic enough, even if another building is built, it will be impossible in a short time!
Could it be that something happened to the new alliance? The armed forces in the south saw the turmoil in the capital and seized the opportunity to go north to fight for the central government. So far, no decision has been made?
Or maybe the new alliance is organizing a new presidential election, and after everything is done, push itself out for a seemingly smooth transition of power?
It would be wrong if this is the case, it lacks political wisdom too much, Berkeley even wants to tell Charles in person, how to better control the process of power transfer, he is the most experienced in this matter...
When people have nothing to do, it is inevitable that they will have all kinds of cranky thoughts, but Berkeley really thinks too much. The reason why Charles didn't come to see him was because he couldn't take care of him at all.
The new alliance not only captured the main city of Mowang City, but also liberated the entire Mowangbang District. Another army liberated the Digabang District, and then continued to liberate the entire Jili Kingdom southward.
During this period of time, Charles was almost as busy as an octopus, eating and lodging in the office building of the new alliance's temporary command headquarters. If he didn't have a strong physique and extraordinary energy, he might not be able to sustain this kind of work intensity.As for President Berkeley, he has always been an insignificant figure, let him stay for now, and deal with it when he is free.
Always unable to wait for Shire, Berkeley asked the service chief sent by the new alliance.As a result, the other party told him very seriously that he was not the person serving him, but the person in charge of taking over the presidential palace, and any information related to military operations could not be disclosed to Berkeley according to discipline.
But anyway, these days have become familiar, Berkeley asked some of the circumstances that should not violate discipline, and only then learned that Charles did not announce his inauguration as interim president, and the new alliance did not announce to "take over" the central government.
In other words, during the current period of time, Jili Kingdom is actually in a state without a central government.But the actual situation cannot be said to be anarchy here. The new alliance has already controlled the order and initially achieved effective management of various regions.
However, the influence of not having a nominal central government is still great. For example, if diplomatic envoys from various countries want to submit their credentials, who should they turn to?In another sense, Berkeley still seems to be the president of Jiliguo, because no one announced his resignation, and he himself did not announce his resignation. Which drama is this singing?The new coalition is the work of political idiots!
Perplexed, Berkeley then wrote Charles a long letter with tens of thousands of words in it.
He first introduced his resume and life in detail, mainly the experience of studying abroad and working after returning to China, focusing on his ideals, ambitions and aspirations, as well as the many efforts he has made for this.
He analyzed the situation of Jili State, including history and current situation, and then talked about the ideas and methods of building and developing the country.The most space in the letter is used to introduce his governance experience and philosophy of governing the country.
In his letter, he admitted that the new coalition had gained central power, and as the previous president, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with Charles in a smooth transfer of power, which was at least nominally stable and in line with legal principles, so that it was not procedurally correct. A military coup.
He also represents the Hope Front and the local government of Digabang District, hoping to establish a closer cooperative relationship with the new alliance, or to unite to build this country.
He also provided suggestions on policies in various aspects such as government organization, appointment of officials, central and local relations, etc. after Charles succeeded as president, from the political, economic, and military perspectives.
He expressed very implicitly that he hoped that his successful strategy of governing the country would not be wasted. Although he is no longer the president, he is still willing to use his knowledge and experience to help the new president govern the country well.
The more Berkeley writes, the more he feels that the time given to him by the gods is too short, only three and a half years, and he has too many things to do, and the country has not been saved. Borrow 500 years!
Of course, he couldn't write such words in the letter. He just wanted Charles to accept his suggestion, so that even if he temporarily left the position of president, his political wisdom and philosophy of governing the country could continue to benefit the country.
His letter was written in Yin language, so Xia should be able to understand it, right?Even if you don't understand some places, there should be professional translators around.
In this long letter, there were indeed some words that Charles didn’t know, but Charles didn’t find a translator. He took out his mobile phone and used the translation software to scan and search, and he figured it out. There was nothing too complicated.
However, after reading it, Charles was completely stunned!
What shocked him was that, no matter in name or in essence, as the former supreme leader of the Jili Kingdom, the President Berkeley, had been separated from the people of this country and the real status quo. degree yet?
There is a survey report by the United Nations, which is based on the data of 2019. Among the economies composed of more than 200 countries and regions in the world, the level of development of the country ranks second to last!In the 80s and [-]s, Jili Kingdom was still ranked in the bottom [-].
Berkeley can't be blamed for all of this. It was such a country that he took over in the first place.But what did Berkeley do after he became president, and what was Jiliguo like under his administration?
Shire has lived in the most common and representative neighborhood in Jili Kingdom since he was a child.He himself is not considered the lowest level of the people, because his uncle was once the number two figure in the Big Head Gang, and he himself became the backbone of the Big Head Gang later.
Charles has never been malnourished since he was a child, and his body is not as big as 1.9 meters long.He also owns a banana plantation, a brewery, and a liquor store, so he can be regarded as a "neighborhood bourgeoisie".
But Shire also knows what kind of scene the world he lives in is a purgatory on earth!So full of despair that many people don't realize hope at all, they have long been numb to many pains, and their lives and wealth are not guaranteed in any way.
The gangsters around him all claimed that they were not afraid of death, how sad this so-called declaration of bravery seemed.Indeed, is it useful to be afraid of death in a place where dead bodies can be found on the streets at any time?
If Shire’s childhood experience only represents the port of Fiso, then during the process of the New Alliance Army’s liberation of Jili Kingdom, Shire also followed the military and political cadres’ actions, not only studied the materials of various places, but also witnessed the scenes of various places with his own eyes.
Doesn't Berkeley know what kind of country the Jili Kingdom he governs is like?If he knew it clearly, how could he still have the face to call himself "remarkable achievements" and "the best in history"?
Full of unfulfilled sighs, all because of the new alliance popping up to make trouble?
The bewildered Charles read the long letter for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that Berkeley should really not know the situation, at least the tone and attitude in this letter were serious, which made Charles even more serious. Confused.
The new alliance has long been collecting various intelligence materials of the Guliguo government, not just military ones. Charles is actually very familiar with the various policies and measures of the president during his tenure.
Berkeley should be more familiar with the operation of the modern Western financial system, so after taking office, he took control of the financial system of Jiliguo in a timely manner, focusing on data exchange and settlement centers, thereby stabilizing the central finance and also controlling some customs and taxation.
This is the first thing a central government should do. If it is evaluated on a 45-point system, Berkeley can score [-] points. Although it is still not up to the passing line, it can be fooled by the current situation of Jili Kingdom.
But other than that, the president doesn't seem to have any other achievements to talk about. It is better not to do some things.
For example, the president mentioned in his letter that he is well aware of the importance of talents, and only by cultivating more talents can the country be built well, so since he took office, he has devoted himself to building the best university on the east coast of the Black Desolation Continent—— Jiliguo Public University.
When he saw this, Charles was so shocked that he almost kicked the table in front of him.Because he has known the situation of this university for a long time, what kind of weird president is it that he invests half of the national education funds in a university?He actually did this for credit!
Jili State Public University is referred to as Jili University for short. In the past, only a few hundred freshmen were admitted each year. After Berkeley became president, the scale of enrollment has been expanded. Currently, it enrolls 210 freshmen every year. It is said that the plan will reach two in the future. More than [-], currently according to the roster of students, there are [-] students in total.
After Berkeley took office, he not only expanded the scale of teaching, but also exempted all expenses such as accommodation, tuition, and teaching materials. Even the restaurant was free, which greatly improved the living and teaching environment.
As far as Shire knows, those who can enter this university are the second generation with the cheapest money in the country.To be more precise, there is a garden of Eden specially built for the second generation of gangsters, a training base for the next generation of group crime bosses.
It is impossible for a "community property class" like Shire to enter this kind of university.Port Fiso was originally located in the southern coastal area, and there was one and only elite school, Newmoo School, and only a few of its graduates with the best or the most background had the opportunity to study at Jili University.
In the past few years, the university has become more filthy under the devoted care of President Berkeley.According to the latest survey report of the community cadres, people in the neighborhoods around Jili University, when referring to this university, especially the students there, "everything does not change color"!
This university actually has a heavily armed security team with guns. They protect the "freedom of academic research" in the university. If students commit any crimes outside, the local police have no right to enter the campus to enforce the law.
There is a group of lawless second-generation ancestors living in the campus, and no one dares or can control what they do.Compared with most of the current school students, Dong Zegang, his early graduate, is already a white lotus with a noble character!
The only thing Charles envied about these students was that they were all in their twenties, and they all had fathers.In Jili Country, this is a group that has lived to adulthood and has a father, and the father is still alive, how lucky it is.
I heard that more than three quarters of the graduates of this university have managed to go overseas after graduation, which is really thankful!
The working group of the new alliance also entered the university, but was actually stopped by the school's security forces.The other party claimed that he was free from the interference of the government police department and was exercising completely independent duties.
The working group of the new alliance didn't take this approach, and notified the army to come and disarm the armed forces.
The disarming process went smoothly and no casualties occurred.However, when the working group was about to enter the campus, someone actually fired a submachine gun on a certain building not far from the campus, resulting in the death of five cadres on the spot!For the new alliance, this was a major casualty event.
The angry accompanying troops almost didn't ask the demolition team to demolish the building. Fortunately, they were stopped by the calm commander, who only ordered the bombardiers to throw grenades into the room from the window, and then sent the combat team to rush into the building. ...
Of course all the people in the room were shot to death, but the scene was shocking.There were twelve corpses of four men and eight women, all naked.
After the investigation, it turned out that a group of students got a few girls, sucked D and Y to add to the fun, and finally X became high.What they smoke is also status, and many of the D products are high-end products that ordinary people in Jili Kingdom have never seen or even heard of.
Before Charles read Berkeley's long letter, he had just received a report on the working group's entry into Jili University, and had just signed an order to temporarily control all the teachers and students of the school, conduct a comprehensive screening review, and search for drugs in the school at the same time. and weapons.
Who should be suppressed, who should be re-educated, and who should be re-educated must be clearly identified.If all these people were sent to be shot, maybe they would be wronged, and the new alliance could not wrong the innocent.
To look at this phenomenon, we should not only emphasize the identity of the students at school, everyone has multiple identities.
