Just because a group of outsiders overthrew the existing rule, they had to recognize them?
It had to be said that the Federation government was still lacking in shamelessness. Fortunately, Lynch corrected this mistake in time.
However, the emergence of the Congress party had actually solved a lot of problems for the Federation government. The most important problem was that the old king had committed suicide under their coercion. Whether it was really suicide or not, the most troublesome person was dead.
When the old king was alive, whether he was respected by everyone or not, he was the king of the country. He was the recognized ruler. If in subsequent political actions, such as the process of changing the country's ruling structure, the old king expressed a different view and did not agree to change the country's ruling structure, then it would be a big problem.
The first thing that the people realized was that the old king was being oppressed by foreigners. Coupled with the fact that the idea of "driving away foreigners" had not been completely extinguished, it was very likely that this would lead to a wave of xenophobia.
In the boiling state of national thought, there were times when the capitalists were powerless. Not only would they drive away foreigners, but they would also destroy the investments of foreigners, snatch these assets, and achieve the goal of destroying the traces of foreigners.
This would seriously affect the interests of Lynch, the Joint Development Company, and more people of the Federation in Nagalir. But now the good news was that the old king and his wife were killed by the Nagalir Congress party.
The most troublesome thing was solved, and this was the best contribution that the Nagalir Congress party had made.
"What do you suggest next?"
Mr. Trumann gathered his men while taking notes seriously.
For the current Federation, all external politics were still in the exploration stage. The former president and the Federation before that were relatively isolated, and because of technology and other reasons, there was very little communication between the worlds. Their external policies were not as good as the Gefra's.
Lynch's ideas made up for this problem very well. From the "financial war" he proposed and the current situation of Nagalir, it could be seen that his suggestions were forward-looking and constructive.
Even if the president privately revealed to Trumann that he intended to remove the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and turn it into a comprehensive agency, and let Mr. Trumann be the first highest official to take advantage of his foreign policy advantages, Mr. Trumann did not forget Lynch's contributions.
Many of his theories were built on Lynch's theories, so he cared a lot about Lynch's ideas, especially in the field of foreign policy.
"I heard that the old king's eldest son has been studying abroad and has not returned?"
Lynch suddenly talked about a key role, the old king's eldest son.
This was not a secret. The old king had always claimed that after he sent his eldest son abroad, the eldest son refused to return because he was greedy for the kingdom's prosperity.
As a result, the eldest son of the old king was not welcomed by the people of a certain social class. After all, a person who was unwilling to return to his own country and always lingered on the beautiful scenery abroad could not be a qualified ruler.
So the eldest son was gradually forgotten, and the old king's second son replaced the eldest son's political position to a certain extent.
This was not a secret. Many people knew about it, including Mr. Trumann. "Indeed."
"We can make use of this guy!"
Lynch's fingers tapped on the armrest twice. He crossed his legs, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one himself. "This is also why I suggested the joint parliamentary system. Most of the provincial governors are on our side, and the royal family is a puppet."
There was a kind and beautiful smile on his face. "This way, we can firmly control the decision-making power of the entire parliament. More importantly, the members of the parliament are the rulers of various regions. We have not touched the interests of the original rulers."
"But a multi-party election system will not work. You said that there are so many provincial governors divided into three parties. Who will be the leader, who will run, and who will win? We will touch the interests of these people, and they will also pose a threat to our control."
"But the joint parliamentary system is different. Whether it is to protect their own interests or to pursue more interests, they have the need and obligation to maintain the ruling system that we have chosen for them."
"They will take the initiative to help us control the direction of society and avoid the emergence of forces that can shake their rule."
"If our interests are damaged, it means that their interests are damaged. This is very important!"
Mr. Trumann wrote furiously. After more than ten seconds, he stopped writing. Just as he was about to ask something, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in …" Following his greeting, some people came in. He took the initiative to stand up and introduce these people to Lynch.
These people were all his subordinates, and they could be considered as his confidants. After getting to know these people, these people took the initiative to sit against the wall so that they would not disturb the conversation between the two most important people in the room.
"Back to the conversation just now, I also have a question …" Mr. Trumann looked down at the things he had recorded again and asked, "If we use the joint parliamentary system as the ruling structure of Najalil, what will happen if these rulers unite?"
"Is there a possibility that they will ignore other factors and unite to fight against our control? I think it is possible."
The joint parliamentary system did solve some of the institutional problems, reducing the power of the royal family in the country, but it also gave the power of the provincial governors an unprecedented increase.
Although the increase was not great in some aspects, they could only go from being the default local tyrant to being the rightful ruler. It was precisely this rightness that sometimes brought about some new problems.
Mr. Trumann's consideration was correct, but Lynch had a different opinion.
"This is why I am not optimistic about the multi-party electoral system. In the multi-party electoral system, we need a party to release the pressure from the bottom of society. This party is uncontrolled, dangerous, and will affect the main social class."
"But after using the joint parliamentary system, the public will be in our hands. If you haven't forgotten, you should remember that the workers' union is in the midst of preparation!"
Previously, Lynch proposed to introduce the workers' union and women's rights organization into Najalil. On one hand, it could release more social labor, and on the other hand, it could form an effective and efficient labor management system.
"We control the public through the workers' union. In a barbaric and backward society, anything can happen. A group of people came out of nowhere and killed their king."
"If they can do it once, they can do it a second time, a third time …"
Lynch's words did not need to be too detailed. Everyone already understood. There was no news of the Najalil Congress party before this. This group of people seemed to have suddenly jumped out of nowhere, rushed into the palace, and killed the king.
Yes, from this moment on, the king was deliberately killed by them. This kind of thing was unlikely to happen in an advanced and developed country. It could only happen in a backward place like Najalil.
The people were ignorant and did not know how to express their demands peacefully. They often expressed some of their demands in violent ways. If they could kill a king, they could kill a provincial governor, or a future member of parliament.
It was just that in the past, the public was controlled by a minority of the people. Now, the public was in the hands of the Federation.
It was safer, more reliable, and more efficient.
"We need to discuss it again …" Mr. Trumann gave the final decision. This was not something that could be decided with a few words from one or two people.
He also had to consider some of the views of the international community towards Najalil. He also had to consider the bottom line of the president's cabinet's acceptance of this matter. After all … cough, the Federation had never interfered in the internal affairs of other countries.
"But there is one thing we can do first!"
He put down his pen and looked at his men sitting by the wall. "First, find the eldest son of the royal family. If we want to promote the reform of the political system in Najalil and use the joint parliament system, we cannot do without our first speaker!"
From this sentence, it was clear that Mr. Trumann had been convinced by Lynch. He also thought that this was a good idea. Taking over the members of the joint parliament and controlling the public at the same time, the society of Najalil would become very stable and orderly.
"Find him and talk to him. It's best to tell him the benefits and value of cooperating with us. Doesn't he like to live abroad?"
"Tell him that we will give him the identity of a citizen of the Federation and give him more benefits. We only have one request for him, and that is to finish the job of the first speaker!"
Someone asked a question. "Mr. Trumann, what if our target does not agree with our plan?"
Before Mr. Trumann could answer, Lynch interrupted. "There will always be someone who is willing to cooperate with us, right?"
Mr. Trumann smiled and nodded. "Yes, there will always be someone who is willing to cooperate with us!"
At this time, the eldest prince and the old king would never have thought that things would be so bizarre. Their every plan was coincidentally completely different from the Federation's plan.
From the beginning, they had let the Najalil Youth Party stand in the open, hoping to attract the attention of the Federation and then be hired by the Federation.
Now, they had changed their identities and attacked the palace in an attempt to appear in front of the stage as the "heroes who overthrew the brutal rule."
They had almost perfectly missed every plan of the Federation. If they did not do that, there might be some possibility. For example, if the eldest prince was really studying abroad.
Now, it was all too late.
On the third morning of Lynch's return to the Federation, the Federation government denied to the world that the Najalil Congress had the right to rule the kingdom. They believed that the Najalil Congress had conspired to overthrow the Najalil regime and killed the king and queen of the United Kingdom of Najalil. It was a shameless and despicable act.
This heinous act should not be forgiven. This was not a battle of justice. After the final discussion in the Federation Congress, the president decided to launch a military operation against the Najalil Congress …
When the eldest prince received the news and read the newspaper, he could not close his mouth. How did things turn out like this?
