Chapter 671: Between Light and Light (X)

In fact, Rod's sentence is both right and wrong. Because the people of the Land of Light can laugh at them as well——— at least we have the right to choose stupidity, and you don't even have the right to choose stupidity.

There is nothing wrong with either side, and this is also clear to Rhodes. The original intention of the establishment of the electoral parliamentary system of the country of light was to avoid the emergence of a "dictator" with a monopoly of power like the dragon soul of light, if they worked hard to become independent from the dragon of light, but came up with another dictator with great power, then it is better to continue to accept the leadership of the dragon soul of light——— or the creation dragon soul, it is better than humans.

And the situation of the Duchy of Moon is roughly the same, and a big reason why the Duchy of Moon has been able to survive for generations is also that the ruler is not a human, but an archangel. Angels' naturally orderly, kind-hearted stance dooms them to be as cruel as tyrants (though with the appearance of Lydia as an outlier, this concept seems to be changing). But human beings are different, Rhodes has also read history, not to mention the Dragon Soul Continent, just on the earth, there are many precedents of many Ming monarchs creating a powerful and rich empire, only to be destroyed by their own mediocre children and grandchildren. And the election came about to change the existence that there is no longer a world, but competition for office, and whoever has the support of the people has the right to rule the country. This sounds ideal, but it's just idealism.

The reality is brutal.

There are differences in class, race, gender, etc., which determine that they cannot abandon their differences with each other at all, which is also because of the fact that wise monarchs and leaders always appear in times of war, because only the threat of war can make people temporarily abandon their differences between their class positions and strive for a common goal. But after the war is over and the country enters a process of prosperity, peace and prosperity. They will once again confront each other for their own interests——— so in Hollywood movies, alien invasions are the most important role in promoting human peace.

In a country with an electoral system, it is impossible for one candidate to support both the poor and the rich, the nobles and the commoners, the businessmen and the workers. Because it is very difficult to find a balance between the two sides, even with the wealth that is unparalleled in the world, it is impossible for him to satisfy the interests of every class. And because of that. Each candidate will choose a class that he or she likes to strongly support. Just like the man Rhodes and others saw before, he clearly stated that he would create more jobs and increase the wages of everyone's labor. But where do these salary increases come from? If the workers' remuneration increases, the chamber's earnings decrease. The merchants are certainly not happy, and of course you can appease the merchants with tax cuts, but the money has to be filled, and no matter how it is filled, there will always be a class that suffers from it. And they certainly don't want to be shot while lying innocent. The poor don't have enough assets to fill the hole, and the rich don't want to suffer losses to fill the hole. But if this hole is not filled, there will be a shortfall, and eventually it will collapse like a hole in a dam.

There is no perfect way to do this, the merchants want more profits, the workers want better pay, the poor want better benefits, and the rich want more resources. The cake is that big. The more you have, the less I have, so they will choose candidates who can achieve their expectations on their behalf. At the same time, oppose candidates who will harm their own interests. As a result, the contradictions and antagonisms between the various classes have become more and more distinct. The workers scolded the businessmen for being black-hearted and doing so much work for only such a small amount of money, and the businessmen complained that the workers were a bunch of lazy people, working less than five hours a day and greedily hungry for more pay. The poor thought that the rich should give more money to help themselves, and they wore their clothes on the streets, while the nobles wore mink coats in and out of the palatial occasions. They rightfully should help themselves. The rich, on the other hand, think that the poor should work harder to find work, not sit on the ground and live on their own handouts like a slacker——— and their money does not fall from the sky!

Because of this, the contradictions between the various classes in the Land of Light are very obvious, and the people of each class are doing everything they can to protect or obtain more benefits. At the same time, there is a strong resistance and protest against other classes, because they are likely to be the main culprits of encroaching on their own interests. Although it is said that this situation is more or less present in every country. But it is even more prominent in the Land of Light, because those who support the class are likely to become the real rulers of the country as a result.

In a country with a strong ruling power, it is difficult for this contradiction between classes to be so sharp and sharp, because whether you are a merchant or a worker, a commoner or a nobleman, you have no advantage in the face of the most absolute power. It's like the malicious price increase in the Pafield area before, Lydia lowered it with a word, and all the people who didn't drop it were pulled out and hanged. She didn't need to be as concerned about the interests of the merchant class as the Land of Light, and perhaps they would have opinions and grievances about it, but for Lydia, the stability and peace of the Duchy of Moon itself far outweighed the small profits of the merchants——— and she didn't need to wag her tail at them in order to gain their support.

However, Lydia's laissez-faire policy is not without flaws, otherwise, the Duchy of Moon would not be so disgraced in the game. But............ The world can't always be as you wish.

After experiencing the scene in Freedom Square, many people were a little absent-minded, although they had more or less heard about the situation in the Land of Light, but they were still surprised to see it with their own eyes. Because there is no such thing in the Duchy of Moon, maybe those commoners will go to the tavern to brag and chat, but they will never say such powerful statements in front of everyone. The nobles, on the other hand, were more cautious in their words and deeds, maintaining their majesty in front of the commoners, and at the same time beware of the snooping of their political opponents.

However, as a qualified "tour guide", of course, Rhodes could not let the crowd be depressed, and soon, he led the crowd to another lively venue——— Glory Theater.

"Here it is............ Theater? ”

Looking at the buildings in front of them, many people's eyes were a little surprised. Derak turned his head to look at Rhodes with some curiosity.

"Count Rhodes, are you going to invite us to a play?"

"Of course. Mr. Frank. ”

Hearing Derrank's inquiry, Rod smiled slightly, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"I promise you'll get a lot out of it."

Drama is a very popular entertainment activity in the Dragon Soul Continent, and it is naturally the same in the Land of Light, but this time, what everyone wants to watch is a drama called "Sword of Justice". The content of the story is very simple. It tells the story of the people who live in a place called Anas in the Land of Light. The protagonist of the story is an ordinary man who lives an ordinary life in the small town of Anas. And one day, their peaceful life is shattered, and a group of red-skinned devils suddenly break into their town, killing not only the protagonist's lover, but also setting fire to their home. Many people died in the fire, but the protagonist and his friends fought back and repelled the attacks of the red-skinned devils. But soon. They learned that there was an even more powerful clan of these red-skinned devils who would return and destroy the town once again. Upon learning of this fact, the people of the town are united, and they abandon their contradictions and conflicts to fight to protect their homeland. Ultimately, under the leadership of the protagonist. The crowd repelled the red-skinned devils, killing their leader. And protected their homeland.

The play itself is very engaging. And everyone in the delegation also watched it with relish, and Anne was even more excited, the original girl was a lively character, and when she saw this wonderful drama at this moment, she couldn't help but scream and jump. Rod, on the other hand, huddled in the corner, smiling indifferently. Look at it all.

At the end of the day, the story ends with the protagonist and his companions winning.

"It's amazing!"

Walking out of the theater, Anne was jumping and waving her fists, and she could see that she was indeed very engrossed.

"Anne has never seen such an interesting play, facing the devils. The people in that town were so brave. They actually really protected their homeland. Commander, is this true? ”

"It's true."

Hearing Anne's inquiry, Rhodes, who was walking behind, shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth to reply, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, but no one paid attention.

"There is indeed an area of Annas in the Land of Light, and this thing is also real, which is why the Land of Light will adapt it into a play and perform it."

"I really didn't expect that there are such brave people in this country......... Anne thought the country was all bad guys. Now it looks like they're going to fight to protect everything they have. ”

"That's right, but I want to correct one thing, that is, in this story, the inhabitants of the small town of Annas are the invaders, and the red-skinned devils are the real owners of the land."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Anne, who was dancing happily before, looked at Rhodes blankly as if she was frozen by a freezing spell at the moment. And feeling everyone's gaze, Rod shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"The story itself is true, but they ignore the premise——— those red-skinned devils are the natives of Anas, and when the Land of Light sent people to Anas, it was these natives who helped them through the turbulence of chaos and finally succeeded in awakening the dragon spirit of light. But after that, everything changed. The Land of Light sent an army to attack and slaughter the natives of Anas, and sent civilians to settle in Anas and build their homes. But for the native Anas, they are certainly not willing to accept their land being usurped by outsiders, and besides, the Land of Light has sent well-equipped armies to slaughter and sweep away the red-skinned Anas. Most of them were killed, and the rest either escaped or were taken into slavery. And those who escaped attacked them in order to reclaim their land from the invaders, and as a result you also saw ..............."

Saying this, Rod spread his hands.

"They failed."

"It's so damnable!"

Anne gritted her teeth and shook her fist in indignation.

"These people are liars, they dare to deceive Anne, it's too much!"

"They didn't lie to you, miss."

Frank smiled and shook his head.

"They just selectively told you the truth, and it's all true, isn't it?"

"Hmph, anyway, Anne just can't get used to it, I really hate ..............."

Anne was still indignant in the face of Derrank's answer, and at this moment, suddenly, a sharp voice came from behind everyone.

"Yo, isn't this the bitch angel's lackey? What are you doing here? (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
