Chapter 1436: Chapter 1436
1436: Chapter 1432: Frenzy 1436: Chapter 1432: Frenzy “Really carefree….”
Lu Ping’an was starting to enjoy life in the Mingxi Archipelago.
From the second floor of an inn, he sipped tea while watching the busy crowd below.
There were people of various races and statuses, including the Saphire people from the Exotic Realm….
He even spotted Wang Xier’s eighth-tier relative, who, of course, also saw him.
No matter the group of followers and the Long Hand Clan officials accompanying the other party, they merely nodded at each other.
Lu was genuinely idle now…
In fact, if he were not idle, some people would really not be able to settle down.
“How about coming over for a cup of tea?
He smiled and extended an invitation to the tables on either side of him.
“Please enjoy, take your time.”
The Watcher and spy hastily refused…
Being spotted at first glance was embarrassing enough, actually getting invited for tea would probably turn into a legendary tale.
“Heh, remember to pay the bill when you leave and casually order some pastries for me.”
Lu Ping’an didn’t care, treating his own Watcher as if they were a servant was not the first or second time.
Time wouldn’t stop for anyone, and nation-building was still underway, with rather delicate progress.
The ideal nation-building ceremony: A leading figure predominantly orchestrating the establishment of the country, declaring the constitution, objectives, and responsibilities of various departments amidst parades and cheers, getting the entire country up and running.
The reality of the nation-building ceremony: Still unable to finalize leader candidates, department heads still contending for positions, and a constitution that had been revised fifteen times (with civil and criminal laws still absent).
It wasn’t just the “candidates” being disputed but also the responsibilities and authorities of various departments and units.
This was not merely a issue of job content; rather, it was about those who held positions striving for more authority.
When a bunch of temporary leaders met together, when dozens of Stray Soldiers, strived to consolidate into an organization…
from all aspects, it was a disaster.
The first to be established was the military department because everyone needed it.
The frontline warfare never ceased; to be precise, parties were willing to unite for the Plane War, hoping to quickly progress to a Great Counteroffensive.
“It really is ‘the will of the people can be utilized’, how does it feel to be grilled over a hotpot, Minister Hua…”
From morning to noon, Lu Ping’an, who was wasting time at the teahouse, saw at least three batches of demonstrators waving various slogans passing by.
“It’s natural for young people to be spirited and optimistic; in their eyes, the whole world is developing for the better.
Perhaps, in their expectation, once the New Kingdom is established, the Exotic Realm Invaders will immediately crumble…”
Sipping his tea, Lu Ping’an smiled and waved at the demonstrators holding “Reclaim Our Homeland” signs below, even giving a thumbs up, causing a round of cheers.
They didn’t know who Lu Ping’an was, but receiving “support” from an Easterner delighted them greatly.
Lu Ping’an politely declined their invitation to “join the demonstration”…
When those youths invited him, Lu Ping’an sensed that some peoples’ heartbeats were about to explode.
If Lu really casually agreed and joined them, the spies would probably go mad.
Lu’s identity, whatever he truly did, would likely attract accusations of incitement…
Especially since, as a “mentor,” Lu really seemed like an “invincible person” in the eyes of some.
Such an identity with a delicate existence, not only powerful and hard to assassinate but also of a special status that could not be touched…
Thus, they could only watch him more, hoping that he was genuinely just passing by and took the opportunity for a vacation.
And as time went by, some “legends” turned into reality, the local decision-makers at the high level, seeing the increase in the number of professionals, were loath to see him leave.
Lu Ping’an counted the four exposed spies again and shook his head…
“You’re really idle, during such a busy nation-building phase, why don’t you share some of these burdens instead of wasting time here?”
“Although I’ve long known that this world is simply a big makeshift troupe, but this ‘Dawnlight Nation’ is not even a platform anymore, it’s just grass….”
To this day, the main achievement of nation-building was just setting a name….
A normal nation-building ceremony is just a formality, but here it was truly a constant quarrel from dawn to dusk, failing to reach a consensus in all aspects.
The only thing that could be done, was perhaps just to start with a “work” and skip over the responsibilities like wars.
“Even the national leaders and the government systems are undecided…..”
The demands of Lin Nu’s Church could naturally not be met, after all, this was a nation that existed in name only, no one could make any promises.
This was also the fundamental reason why Lu was so idle, he was waiting, waiting for more pressure, waiting for the inevitable failure.
Only when he felt the pressure, when he felt the possibility of “failure”, the nearly infinite disputes and bickering in front would really accelerate.
If they actually won easily, that would actually be a good thing…
uh, but it seems like the nation would instantly disintegrate, there’s absolutely no need for it to continue, transitioning directly to a warlord’s free-for-all scenario would be more realistic.
In Lu Ping’an’s view, not only the citizens…
but the leaders and decision-makers were too young, their approaches too simplistic, lacking “historical depth,” only focusing on the present.
“There are parades everywhere, so fanatic Meow!
Lu Ping’an’s spy, also fulfilled his duty successfully returned.
Lu Ping’an nodded and also stuffed some treats into Meow.
It was something he had anticipated, the mortals of this world had suffered too much, they could no longer repress it…
“Relax, I am doing nothing, tell your masters not to focus their energies on me…..”
Lu Ping’an said to those spies, but whether they listened, that was another matter.
“Parliamentary systems are better!
The Eastern Country is just a union of states, it can better unite all of us.”
“In Eastern Culture, there is a tradition of using harsh laws in chaotic times, at this point, we need a higher level of unity, an empire is the best choice…”
Well, due to differing “philosophies”, the parading groups, while shouting, ended up fighting.
“Even the nation’s system remains undecided…”
If it had been Lu’s own nation, he would now have sent spies and secret police to interrogate the leaders of the disturbance thoroughly to find out who was truly behind them.
In Lu’s view, this was not merely a difference in philosophies…
some people probably had the upper hand in the struggle, starting to look forward to centralization, while the losers naturally hoped for a more “dispersed” parliamentary representation.
Everyone considered their own interests, even if they reluctantly came together, the power remained fragmented, and thus the war was naturally doomed to fail.
Because they couldn’t settle on a “national body”, they naturally couldn’t appoint a national leader, couldn’t assign responsibilities to government agencies, and naturally couldn’t start any specific tasks…
on this huge stage, there was probably really only grass left.
Lu Ping’an was unable to act, unable to change, not only because he was still an “outsider,” but more so because this was “historical development,” a result of countless individuals making choices based on their personal interests.
Perhaps, only the pressure from a frontline disaster would truly provoke some changes.
And this day, it came quicker than anyone expected.
“West Hill Mountain front collapsed, eleven cities consecutively conquered, possibly slaughtered.”
