Chapter 667 The Prime Minister's Plan

When Ryan handed over this automated production line to Dr. Schmidt and President Irina, there was indeed the idea of ​​popularizing this new technology in the future.

After all, technological innovation is the general trend, and manpower cannot stop it. This has been proven many times by countless examples on Earth.

But even if it cannot be stopped, Ryan plans to make reasonable plans and effective guidance on the investment in this new technology, and suddenly comes to the prime minister like today and immediately promotes it vigorously... It is not his original intention.

Ryan immediately dialed Irina's dedicated Arcus number and told her all the ins and outs of the matter.

"Yeah……"

Irina sighed rare, "Sure enough, Sharon's departure still had some impact... Forget it, I probably guessed who leaked the news, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."

"Reinhardt, what are you going to do with this?"

Irina asked solemnly, "No need to say, you should also know the pros and cons of automated production lines."

"Even if it can only be used to produce mecha weapons for the time being, after the improvement of technicians, it is only a matter of time before this technology is applied to the entire industrial system."

"I know." Ryan said with a headache, "I will try my best to prevent the proposal from being passed. I have probably guessed the prime minister's plan, but whether it can be stopped... To be honest, I am not sure."

After hanging up contact with Irina, Ryan contacted the heads of the three major families Rogner, Haynes and Elbarea one after another.

All three parties expressed that they would temporarily put aside the preparations for the Territory Congress and rushed to Heimdal immediately to conduct the next discussion face to face.

Although the empire is still a monarchy now, with the reform of the prime minister, the system of Erebonia has actually been excessive towards the constitutional monarchy.

The emperor's rights are given to the Prime Minister (Prime Minister), and the Prime Minister is also subject to the simultaneous control of the four famous families, the Imperial Capital Hall (Cabinet) and the Imperial Parliament (Parliament).

Although in recent years, with the prime minister's shameless force in his possession, the power of control has become increasingly greater, but it is impossible for him to cover up the sky with one hand.

Last year, the prime minister strongly promoted parliamentary reforms, abolished the upper and lower house system, and also abolished the restrictions that the upper house must be held by nobles, attempting to take the majority of the seats in his own hands.

But in fact, under the checks and balances between Ryan and Mayor Regniz, the seats in the parliament are actually controlled by the prime minister.

As the prime minister took more and more backward policies after the civil war, the two reformists had already become apart under the instigation of Ryan and the general trend, and an irreparable rift was created between the two.

The slightly visionary politicians had long seen the real purpose of the prime minister's unlimited expansion of the army. The moderate reformists, led by Mayor Regniz, immediately changed their positions and began to put all their efforts on the rapid advance of the prime minister's faction.

The debate that occurred between the visits of Yukent III today has laid a certain extent the political tone for today and even later.

The prime minister insisted on the full popularization of automation equipment, while Mayor Regniz had a tough wording and opposed this, believing that it should be discussed in the long run.

The reformists, who were previously extremely united in the eyes of outsiders, were clearly divided into two camps. Including the aristocratic forces that may join the debate tomorrow, if we count the Speaker of the Imperial Parliament, the leaders of all forces could form a table of mahjong.

But Ryan actually expressed pessimism about the final result of this proposal. After all,... the emperor who controls the greatest voice stands on the Prime Minister's side.

Once Yukent III makes up his mind, unless he wants to provoke serious internal conflicts again, neither the moderate reformists nor the nobles will be likely to risk another civil war and completely break up with the prime minister.

Especially at the moment when the prime minister strongly exaggerated the threat of the Karwad Republic and had begun to provoke the Republic.

After all, no matter how much he tends to be a constitutional monarchy, the empire is still a monarchy to this day, and the emperor's orders are absolute. No matter how dissatisfied the people below, they can only execute the orders according to his ideas... unless a coup is launched.

After Ryan hung up all contacts, he turned to look at Olibart and Cedric and asked, "Two His Highnesses, can you really not be able to persuade His Majesty?"

The two Olibart brothers looked at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile.

Olibat first frowned and said, "When the news just came to Balfrem Palace, I visited my father and advised me once. At that time, he was a little hesitant, as if he was considering the gains and losses of this proposal."

Cedric took the speech with a bitter face, "I just rushed back from Tolz's school, and my father was still hesitating. I think he also knew how much turmoil the vigorously promoting automated production lines would bring to the empire."

"But I can't figure it out." Crown Prince Cedric clasped his hands with some anxiety and clenched his fists. "Since he knew it would cause social turmoil, why didn't his father directly reject the prime minister's proposal, but instead seemed so hesitant."

"Ha..." Ryan sneered, "Of course it's because of the prime minister's intention. The emergence of the automated production line is exactly his intention. Our beloved iron-blooded prime minister probably wanted to further liberate the labor force."

After hearing Ryan's ridicule, Olibart felt a little bad premonition in his heart, "Why?"

"It was for the source of troops at that time."

"What?!"

Cedric stood up in horror, "No way? Even if we start a war with Kalwald, is it necessary to increase the source of troops in this way? Our troops have reached 880,000."

Kalwad's total national troop strength is about 800,000, and due to the existence of mecha soldiers, the empire is undoubtedly ahead of the Eastern power Kalwad in terms of military technology.

Prince Cedric sat back on the sofa under the comfort of his brother, but his legs kept shaking, and obviously noticed something.

Ryan's eyes flashed with a cold light and calmly analyzed, "If I just want to overwhelm Kalwad in local wars, the current strength difference is enough, but... what if the Prime Minister wants to completely swallow Kalwad, or even the entire Western Continent?"

"I see……"

At this time, Dalai Pidan could no longer see his usual funny appearance. He said seriously, "Using the automated production line as an excuse to actively cause a large number of workers to lose their jobs, and then recruit these workers who have nothing to do to the army in some way."

Cedric added with a pale face, "This will achieve the goal of expanding the army in a short period of time. As long as these strong workers are trained for a period of military, they can become recruits and be sent to the front line battlefield."

After saying that, the crown prince immediately stood up from the sofa, and he said firmly, "We must stop this stupid bill from passing, so that these innocent workers cannot become victims of the prime minister's ambition."

As the prime minister's actions became more and more obvious, Prince Cedric, who admired his iron-fisted methods when he was young, gradually saw the prime minister's intentions hidden behind the scenes under the guidance of someone. Now he has firmly stood on the same line with his brother Olibart.

However……
