Not only can goods from the interior of Western Xinjiang be transported through the two ports, but goods from the central and western mainland can also be landed at the two ports and then transported directly to the interior of Western Xinjiang via land transportation. This complementary relationship also provides the basis for joint cooperation between the two parties. What's more, wine, lacquer, tung oil, cotton and linen cloth, and ironware produced in the hinterland of Western Xinjiang are also in urgent need of various places along the coast of the peninsula. The positive interactive trade of such commodities will promote the further expansion of cooperation between the two parties. Of course, this is not without difficulties. That is, the road from Myanmar to the peninsula needs to be built and repaired. The amount of work is quite large. But from a long-term perspective, both the mainland of Western Xinjiang and the ports along the Atlantic Ocean should be happy to see this. Class I projects will be started as soon as possible.
Wu Feng is full of interest in Su Qin's views. If he can achieve the state that Su Qin said, that is naturally what he would like to see. The primary purpose of annexing the eastern countries of the Indo-China Peninsula Alliance is to strengthen the strategic position of his control area. , and it can also promote economic and trade exchanges between the two sides, which is the icing on the cake.
"Su Qin, how to do this?" Wu Feng looked at his diplomatic think tank with a smile. This time he chose the right person to plan the Peninsula Alliance. How to deal with the problems like Moro and Eastern Samoa? On the issue of setting up the political structure of the urban republic where the people have adapted to the parliamentary democratic system, not only Xiao Tang, Wang Liao and others are inferior, but even people like Wu Feng and Wang Zongxi who have some understanding of the Western Continent are inferior to Su Qin.
"My subordinates have not fully considered it yet, but they feel that power can be decentralized in several ways to achieve balance and compromise between the two parties. The city republic was renamed the city autonomous domain, and the military and diplomatic aspects are within the scope of sovereignty. Whether they accept it or not, they must It is firmly in the hands of the Great Protectorate of Western Xinjiang, and I believe they can also understand it; in terms of urban judicial power, it can be implemented in accordance with their current laws, and officials can also be appointed by the Grand Council, but one thing that needs to be added in terms of law is the control of incitement Punishment for secession and rebellion; the ruling government can be retained, but its power can be appropriately weakened and become an out-and-out administrative agency, just like the city guard in our western Xinjiang interior, which only implements policies."
"The last point, which is the most important, is to abolish the original councils of the two cities and merge the two city councils. If Legon or Sanbao are brought under control, we can follow suit and establish a big council. In other words, several of the original councils that have been implemented The city republics and city-states managed by the parliament have become a special region. What is the name? Or can it be called the Nanhai Autonomous Territory, the Western Territory Protectorate of the Tanghe Empire. There is still a governor, but the power of the governor is subject to certain restrictions by the Great Council. The city autonomous territory The appointment and removal of each ruling official must be nominated by the Governor, but they need to be approved by the Grand Dominion Assembly before they can take office or be removed from office; major policies and affairs in the Greater Dominion are discussed and approved by the Grand Dominion Assembly and then submitted to the Governor for approval, or the Governor proposes to be approved by the Grand Dominion. It was passed by the parliament, and both parties restrained each other. Both parties have veto power, but matters involving military and diplomatic matters are not included in this. These two powers belong to the Western Xinjiang Grand Protectorate. In this way, the original governor of the Western Xinjiang interior will be replaced. Part of the power is reduced to the parliament, which not only satisfies the wishes of these original forces, but also allows the governor's power to be effectively supervised. Since this part of the administrative power does not involve military diplomacy, it is of little importance to the Western Xinjiang Protectorate. In addition, in case of emergency or war, the governor has the right to declare the suspension of parliamentary activities with the approval of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate until the emergency or war state is lifted."
"Then who has the right to appoint and remove the governor? Does it need to be approved by this so-called big assembly?" Wu Feng became more and more interested in the principle of two-party restraint proposed by Su Qin. In his opinion, this seemed to be better than his own establishment in the mainland. The governor's responsibility system is more enlightened and advanced. At least the governor's power is well supervised and constrained, and the parliament cannot control the sky with one hand. Although there may be some loss in efficiency, it is already a quite remarkable idea. Of course, Su Qin's idea is still a bit rough and vague, and many things need to be further classified and refined, such as what are major policies and affairs, how to define them, and whether foreign affairs and policies need to be approved by the Great Council if they have a major impact on the local economy. These all need to be clearly identified, but these are all tasks that need to be done when the overall situation has been determined.
"Well, the power to appoint and remove the governor naturally belongs to the Great Protectorate of Western Xinjiang, but whether it needs to be approved by the parliament or not, this needs to be decided by Your Highness. If it needs to be approved by the big parliament, then the initiative lies in the hands of the big parliament, my subordinates Personally, I think that the right to nominate must be controlled by the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, and it can be recorded by the Great Council. Of course, the opinion of the Great Council can be symbolically solicited beforehand." On this point, Su Qin was not too sure, after all, the choice of governor was important to both parties. It is very important for both sides. It is best to choose a candidate that is acceptable to both parties. This will be more conducive to the balance of local forces.
Nodding silently, Wu Feng was still thinking about the impact of this new thing, but Su Qin thought that his boss was worried about the power being held by those industrial and commercial forces, and further explained: "Your Highness, this should be said to be a better compromise. We have a plan. Since there are more members in the Grand Council, it is less likely for forces from one party to dominate. This will make it much more maneuverable for the Governor. If Lygon or Sanbao join, it will be more beneficial for us to take the initiative, unless If the matters proposed or the policies implemented by the Governor harm the interests of the entire business class, otherwise it will be difficult for them to unite to exercise their veto power. Moreover, the power to declare a state of emergency and a state of war is still in our hands, and we can suspend the operations of the Parliament at any time. This is also our trump card. I believe that the governor appointed by His Highness will not be so bad as to arouse public anger, unless it is out of His Highness's own wishes."
Su Qin did not forget Wu Feng's little humor at the end, which made Wu Feng burst out laughing.
While Wu Feng and Su Qin were discussing how to divide and disintegrate these industrial and commercial alliances, the Medici family, as the largest industrial and commercial power in Eastern Samoa, was not idle either. Meiyun Lake, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, has always been a favorite of the rich in Eastern Samoa. It is located on the outskirts of Eastern Samoa and not far from the coastline, but it is a real freshwater lake with beautiful scenery and tree-lined shores. Those who can buy land and build houses here are either rich or noble, but there are only a handful of people who can enclose land and build manors here. Except for a few big families, I am afraid no one can have the financial resources.
Kirk Giggs glanced at the white-haired old man sitting silently in the pavilion with some dissatisfaction. This old man is still as stable as a mountain. His Medici family is calm, but his own family But he can't hold on any longer. If the Seli family takes the advantage, he may fall behind and become passive in the future.
"Kirk, don't worry too much. Strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes. Li Wufeng traveled thousands of miles south to our Peninsula Alliance just to occupy these two cities? You are too underestimated Li Wufeng's ambition." Seeing his old man The friend looked uneasy and sighed softly in his heart. The white-haired old man took off the pipe in his mouth and said thoughtfully. Having said that, he actually doesn't have much confidence in his heart, but one thing is for sure. Li Wufeng's move to the South Peninsula Alliance this time was really unexpected. Even he underestimated the other party's determination, which led to the current situation. However, it is too late to take the medicine of regret now. It is only right to carefully consider how to turn passivity into initiative.
"Then in your opinion, what is Li Wufeng's purpose of going south this time?" He glanced at the other party in surprise. Kirk Giggs really didn't understand what the other party meant. Li Wufeng, a war madman, Isn't it for wealth and land to expand everywhere? What is that for
"Huh, think about it. He left Kutdam and Legon behind and ran straight towards our Eastern Samoa and Moro. Although on the surface it seems that Kutdam is defended by our coalition forces, Legon is backed by Nanyang. Alliance, but with Li Wufeng's military strength at the time, he could completely concentrate his efforts to annihilate the pitiful strength of our alliance in one fell swoop. However, he gave up Kutdan and Legon, and instead stormed Woda, forcing Medan to surrender, and then made a surprise leap forward. Devouring us in one gulp can only mean that he is coming for coastal cities like us." His eyes were a little confused. Although the white-haired old man could roughly see Li Wufeng's intention, he was powerless. Now the seaport has been captured by Li Wufeng's army. The mercenaries who returned eastward were forced to land in Sanbao. After delaying for so many days without any expression, it seemed that the Nanyang Alliance and the Maci Khans were unreliable. Facing the strength of the Western Xinjiang Army, they were somewhat reluctant. I have the intention of giving up.
"Coming for us?" Kirk Giggs seemed to understand something. He let out a long sigh: "You mean he is planning on harboring a seaport?"
"Seaport? No, it's not just a seaport. What is a seaport used for? Isn't it just for transfer transportation? Establishing a land-sea transport channel may be one of Li Wufeng's goals, but it is definitely not the most important factor. Kirk, if you have more If you understand Li Wufeng's domineering attitude in the Tanghe Empire, you will find that this man's appetite and ambition are almost unlimited. He probably wants to turn the Southern Ocean and the Eastern Ocean into his inner lake. To achieve this Wish, it is impossible without a strong navy. I am thinking that this may be his original intention of going south to the peninsula alliance." The white-haired old man's words were still so plain, but it was like thunder in the ears of his allies.
