Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

With the disappearance of the Kingdom of Fathira, the Great Alexandros Empire has gained almost all of the former Grand Flam Kingdom. Band ド ゥ and its surroundings remain, but are only marginal land in the former Grand Flam Kingdom. The Great Alexandros Empire has won Grand Flam.

However, the end of the domination of the former Fathira kingdom and the southern part has become quite rough.

The popular revolt was more widespread than the Great Alexandrus Empire had imagined, and it was ineffective. The slogan for overthrowing the privileged class was, as it were, likely to be directed to the ruling class of the Great Alexandros Empire.

In response, the Great Alexandros Empire dispatched troops to crush the rebellion. It is the name of defeating his country's rebels without acknowledging the achievement of defeating Fathiras Kingdom.

Suppression forces were formed primarily by fifth-class citizens. The ranks of the Great Alexandros Empire have risen to fifth class. It is supposed that the higher the achievement, the higher the grade. However, in the third grade, it is possible to escape from the class where hard work is imposed with one achievement. This is because it will not be possible to secure sufficient labor and the country will not be able to turn around.

Many rebels were indignant at the response of the empire, but could not keep up with the overwhelming force and the rebellion was suppressed. Those who were captured for the reconstruction of the devastated lands and made the fifth nation were to be overworked.

It is an outrageous measure, but it is not completely wrong in the sense of collecting events early. However, the Great Alexandros Empire was concerned about the reputation of the people. The Great Alexandros empire was arguing why the popular rebellion appealed to such a forcing, which was due to the overkill of the former Grand Flam.

Originally, the former Grand Flam kingdom adopted a method in which central politics was performed by a civilian government organization and local politics was left to the nobility. Not just the Grand Flam Kingdom. Every country of some size has the same political posture.

However, many aristocrats have disappeared during the war. The Great Alexandros Empire was intended. Destroy old nobles and create a new governance system. While this is not a bad choice, the Great Alexandros Empire, which suddenly took over the vast territory of the former Grand Flam Kingdom, did not have the manpower and organization to govern it.

It is impossible for a poor local organization to rule the conflict. The empire decided in this way, decided to forcibly hold down with the power of the center, and dispatched an administrator when it had subsided, in order to stabilize it.

As a result, the struggle has been suppressed, so it may not be a bad idea. But again this is only because there are human resources.

Many local government officials were selected by first-class citizens. Most of them were nothing but the nobles. They have no idea of serving the nation, but on the contrary, they privatize state sovereignty in their dispatched territories, treat their nations as their own slaves, and spend every day merely immersing themselves in luxury life. Spent.

The privileged class, the worst privileged class with no sense of responsibility. The dissatisfaction of the people, which should have been suppressed, has swelled again.

The Great Alexandros Empire is doing well in the military but has shown a major stumbling block in politics. The central government is worried about this turnaround.

"The reorganization plan for the administrative district has been finalized"

"So please explain"

In response to Lancelot, Bordeaux began to explain what he had been thinking about.

"The entire empire is divided into nine administrative districts. The imperial capital and its surroundings are the central ward. The central government is also responsible for local administration. The other eight administrative districts are the northern district, the northeastern district, and the eastern district. We divide it into eight wards, like a ward, and have an executive branch for each.

"... So what's the difference?"

Bordeaux's explanation simply summarized the finely divided territories into nine territories. It doesn't seem to help solve the civil deficiency of the Great Alexandros Empire.

"The Executive Secretary has eight people. Eight people will have the right people, and then we will concentrate the people who perform the actual work in eight administrative districts to improve management efficiency."

Someone misunderstands because he thinks he is the greatest. If so, put a decent person at the top. If the range to be managed becomes larger, the problem can be solved by increasing the number of subordinates. It does not mean that the jobs of the first-class people will be lost.

It seems to be considered as such, but it is not new in form. The only difference is whether the top is noble or civilian.

"Who is the Secretary of State for the Executive? Who are the candidates?"

"We are going to select from the SS, and we are in the process of selecting people."

"The SS? ..."

It is clear that it is a non-government affair, and there is no doubt that Maria's intention is working. There is no complaint about it. The SS members have contributed significantly to the founding of the Great Alexandros Empire. It is only natural to reward them.

The only concern with Lancelot is whether they have the ability to see the vast administrative districts. Those who stand on top of a person need different abilities to do their job. It is something that makes people obey, whether it's power or ambition.

Lancelot, who grew up as a Hou's child, knows this.

"Do you have a problem?"

"Do you need an assistant?"

"Aide ... Deputy Secretary?"

"Any title is fine. Can you choose some of the former nobles who are above the Earl rank? It's more of a role than an administrative skill."

The aristocrats, their heads and heirs, are used to standing on people. I have learned how to do that since I was young. Of course, there are individual differences, but Lancelot thinks it's much better than coming from a commoner.

"... Is it difficult?"

Bordeaux has denied Lancelot's instructions.

"Why is it so?"

"No such person"

"If you are a former aristocrat, are there any people?"

A good number of subordinate aristocrats of the former Axmia and former Winheal princes follow the Great Alexandros Empire. Some of Lancelot's heads were recognizing excellence.

"Yes, many of the former nobles are in the process of interrogation."

"What did you say!?"

Lancelot heard this fact for the first time.

"Because of the suspicion of rebellion, I thought it would be better to report to His Majesty after the facts became clear."

"rebellion?"

"Yes. It looks like they're likely to be connected to the Grand Flam Kingdom."

"... what evidence?"

"A number of letters have been sent from the Kingdom of Granfram."

You can find as many of these things as you want. The letters that the Lancelots also betrayed were sent with or without a response. Suspicious, but not conclusive, evidence.

"aside from that?"

"I'm investigating it right now. I think we need more time to make things clear, so it's difficult to promote at this time."

"Really……"

And they will not be innocent. In Lancelot some aristocrats were vigorously suggesting to keep Mary away. It was known to Maria and it was to be purged.

Lancelot knows this. I don't say anything even if I know. What matters to Lancelot is Maria. I don't want to help those who want to tear them apart.

"I'll think a bit more about civilian control, but is this the right policy?"

"I do not care"

Emperor Lancelot's justification has given the Great Alexandros Empire a move to improve its administrative structure. But whether the result is an improvement is another story.

◇◇◇

The administrative divisions were rushed, and each district had a secretary general. All are former SS members. They did not become kings, but they gained the same power as the former three princes. Former members of the SS are enjoying the night of spring.

However, it cannot be said that it is luxurious. You can luxury, but you need to take your job seriously and get results. If they don't make a difference, they are waiting. It was clearly shown that the former SS was no exception.

The way Bordeaux's government enforces civilian control is to take the initiative. The look-ahead seemed soft, but it was an organization that further strengthened the audit department of the Knights Corps in the Kingdom of Granfram. In essence, it is a police organization, and the name is still the police squad. Naturally, what Maria thought.

But the police squad extends its authority without the central government's knowledge. The cause was that the upper ranks of the police were also former guards. The former former SSs thought they would do well, but this worked in the opposite direction.

Those who became commanders of the police squad were, in other words, those who were not elected secretaries of office. Not all, they were jealous of those who became secretaries. Without cooperation, he seeks the secretary of the Executive Secretary, and if that is not possible, tries to uncover the crimes of his subordinates. At the same time, in order to strengthen his own authority, he will extend his hand to maintaining security in territories that are not originally related. Maria thought it was natural because he was a police organization, and instead of blaming it, she praised the police. Maria's instructions further boosted the police runaway.

The police squad was turned into a public security police, and even an unknown organization beyond the police.

Severe security operations will create public opposition. Positively, if their actions were justice, it would not have been a problem, but the police had abused their authority and began to act on their own terms.

This is a ridiculous result that a check-in organization set up for fear of corruption in an administrative organization will be corrupted.

By the time this fact was heard by the central government, the reputation of the police was widespread among the public.

"Why is such a situation !?"

Reform of the administrative organization for local stability has the opposite effect. Lancelot was told that he couldn't control his anger.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think that the lookkeeper would be rotten."

The apologizing Prime Minister Bordeaux is also outraged on the matter. The Great Alexandros Empire is still a new country. It is impossible that corruption will not stop in the future countries. Bordeaux is seriously thinking that there is an empire to make this world better.

"No excuse is needed. How will you deal with this?"

"We will promptly disband the police and capture all members."

"Can you do it?"

Bordeaux said he would apprehend, but police had continued to expand, with more than 5,000 already scattered throughout the country. It cannot be easily caught. I don't even know who goes to capture in the first place.

"I will dispatch the Central Army."

"Move the army ..."

Lancelot knows that this is the only option. However, it is unreasonable to leave time and cost without permission.

"Or you can just capture the chief person and give them a sentence of imprisonment to show off."

Prime Minister Bordeaux has also shown realistic plans. This is your favorite.

"I will miss my sins ...

"No, that's not the end, I'm thinking about putting the police in war."

"Where is that war?"

There are only two options. Either the Grand Flam Kingdom or the Merika Kingdom.

"I'm thinking of the Kingdom of Merica"

"... Why do you put the Grand Flam kingdom behind?"

The battle against the Kingdom of the United States is the first step in continental domination and the final battle. Lancelot doesn't know why to put off the Grand Flam Kingdom.

"The Grand Flam Kingdom will be stuck if left alone. I think we should hurry the invasion of the Merika Kingdom, which is expected to have a long battle."

"Do not be long ..."

The translation is different between civil war and battle between countries. Betrayal and other conspiracies rarely apply to the Kingdom of Merica. Lancelot believes he must defeat his opponent in a head-to-head battle.

With guns and artillery, I don't think I'll lose to the Kingdom of Merica, but it will definitely take a lot of time to rob the entire Kingdom of Merica.

"There is another reason to invade the United Kingdom first. The United Kingdom seems to be in a state of war with other nations, with troops leaning south."

"Do you have that gap?"

"Yes. We want to get an early invasion base in the Kingdom of Merica. We want to focus on it first, and think that it's only good to respond to the Grand Flam after its success. I'm sorry. "

"... Hmm. But is the Grand Flam Kingdom really quiet?"

Despite being pushed into Bandeau, it doesn't seem like a Lancelot to give up on the Grand Flam Kingdom. I don't want Arnold to be that good.

"Of course we will have a holding army, and we will send ambassadors for surrender."

"What did you say?"

"It is dangerous to underestimate the strength of the Grand Flam kingdom. I think it would be better if we could decide without fighting."

"That's right."

Lancelot also wants to settle with Arnold on the battlefield. I know it is not allowed now, but with equal strength.

"And if we could make it our own, we would have more advantage in fighting with the Kingdom of Merika. If we could go down not only to the kingdom of Granfram, but also to our allies Ox and Hashiu, an invasion from both sides would be possible. It will be possible. ''

"Yes ..."

Bordeaux's explanation is not undeniable. The Grand Flam Kingdom has few territories but possesses a considerable amount of strength. If it can be absorbed, the battle against the Kingdom of the United States can be said to have been won.

Lancelot was compelled to accept and the Great Alexandros Empire set to prepare for a war with the Kingdom of Merica.

It is merely an excuse to rush the war in the United Kingdom, such as punishing the police. It has been practiced in various countries in the past to turn people's eyes to conflicts with other countries in order to control domestic dissatisfaction. The Great Alexandros Empire is trying to do that.

But the upper reaches of the Great Alexandros Empire do not know that domestic dissatisfaction is so high that it cannot be deceived.

◇◇◇

Southern part of the Great Alexandros Empire. A man shouted in a city that was formerly the Kingdom of Fatiras.

"What is a privileged class! A person with special rights that are different from others!"

Out of the street where shops are connected. He puts a wooden box on the slightly enlarged place, and the man screams on it.

"So are they all evil !? No! Evil are those who abuse their rights!"

Few people listen to the voice of a man seriously. Even if you are wondering what you started, the question of the man is somewhat difficult and the ordinary people do not understand the meaning well.

"Is a noble evil ?? No! Evil is the one who has forgotten noble responsibilities!"

A man complains about the man who has begun to defend the aristocracy. Many people of the former Fathiras kingdom have risen to anti-nobility. The result was the worst, but the opposition to the aristocracy did not disappear.

"Ask those who are complaining now! Isn't you evil Vincent Woodville?"

Here the unexpected name popped out of the man's mouth. The people of the city know Vincent. I heard it in a bard song.

"Why did he refuse to help Rion !? Do you know the reason for it?"

Many people said they knew. Vincent chose death in order to remain loyal to the kingdom as a noble. The conversation between Vincent and Rion at the execution site is one of the most exciting of the bard's songs.

"Vincent once said: Nobles must do their best to be nobles! It's a noble duty!"

The man begins a story that does not appear in the bard's song.

"I say that the pride of a noble is not in his status! He is in his heart!"

To be precise, this is Rion's word. But Vincent certainly had the same thoughts.

"Aristocrats are there to protect the lives of the people! The people are there to support them. The aristocracy and the people work together, not hostile!"

The rise of Vincent and Lion names has increased the number of people who listen seriously.

"Is it easier to live by defeating the nobles !? I don't think so!"

This man's words also resonate with the audience. If this were done in the west, many people might have rebounded. But in the south, the ranks of most people were low, and the recovery from the war was still in the process, leaving only those who had a hard time living.

"There are nobles, there are folks! If you fulfill each other's responsibilities, your life will be better! No aristocrats will be bad!

The audience knew what the man wanted to sue. Those who have no status as nobles but have not fulfilled their responsibilities. It's officials from the center of the Great Alexandros kingdom.

"I will not give up! Save this life, saved by Vincent! だ I am prepared to use it to defeat the real evil! あ る Have a heart, get up! "

The voice of a man shook the hearts of some. Those who have lost hope in the last mistake.

"Police! Escape!"

A voice shouting at a man. One voice moved by a man's appeal. The moment of the birth of a true popular revolution in the Kingdom of Great Alexandros. It's still a small little bud, but it's certainly trying to take root in the people.
