035 Inefficient parliamentary system

The Kingdom of France, in the municipal building of Rennes, the capital of the Brittany region, is currently conducting a final decision-making meeting on the "bad" situation in the province of Morbien.

It has been more than two months since Levi captured Vanne and robbed the entire city. Since the news came, the regional councils in the Brittany region have been arguing about this issue.

On the one hand, it was pressure from the Paris government, and on the other hand, the existence of Levi's rebels made it difficult for the Brittany region to collect sufficient taxes from the province of Morbien!

After the French Revolution, the Paris Constitutional Assembly adopted a hierarchical parliamentary system in various places, and the autonomy of local regions and even provinces has been greatly enhanced, but this does not mean that local governments do not need to pay taxes to the central government!

In fact, after the Paris Revolution, the autonomy of local governments increased, but the Paris government's control over local areas did not weaken at all!

There is no other reason. All local committees and parliaments, and the legal basis come from the Constitutional Assembly.

The committee is actually the permanent office elected by the parliament, and parliaments at all levels are the highest administrative and judicial institutions of local governments at all levels.

Of course, the speakers of the parliament often serve as the chairman of the committee. There is little difference between the two, and the permanent members of the committee are selected from the members of the parliament.

The reason why one more committee was created is mainly because there are too many members of parliament and it is impossible to gather together for a long time. This will not only be a huge burden to local governments, but it will also cause serious waste of human resources at the upper level of the government.

After all, those members of parliament are not just professions like members. They have very prominent identities and their own industries in society.

They can't sit in the offices of municipal buildings all day long to handle government affairs.

Only a streamlined, permanent rotating committee composed of several people can maintain the management of local governments. After all, each government still has a large number of officials.

The local parliamentary system of the Kingdom of France today is actually modeled on the British parliamentary system and the state parliamentary system of the United States of America.

There are many shortcomings.

The most serious thing is that the local councils and parliament elect committees, lack of strong regulatory agencies. It is no exaggeration to say that local councils are native emperors, and whatever they say is what they say is. In this era of underdeveloped communications, it is not difficult to deceive the Paris government!

For example, those who are doing it are doing it, and even the provincial parliament sometimes reports directly to the Paris government instead of reporting to the Brittany Regional Council, the immediate boss.

After all, the political philosophy of the Paris Revolution is equality. Different levels of parliament only have different positions, not that you are a regional councillor who is born nobler than a provincial councillor!

This actually completely breaks the inherent political hierarchy of the French Kingdom tradition.

Even an ordinary city councillor, as long as he has connections and money, he can fight the lawsuit all the way to the Paris government!

Therefore, the political situation in the Kingdom of France has become more open-minded, but also more chaotic.

It was like the rebellion of Li Wei. More than two months passed. Under the pressure of the Paris government, the Brittany region held a final decision-making meeting instead of sending troops to encircle Li Wei.

This efficiency is even slower than that of Louis XVI.

After all, Rennes, the capital of the Brittany region, is not far from the province of Morbien.

If it was an era of French monarchy, if there was a rebellion in the area, you only need to report to the king. The king nodded, and the troops from various provinces immediately gathered together to encircle and suppress the rebels.

No, like now, with pressure from the Paris government, the parliament has been arguing all day long, just for the proportion of troops distributed by a province, all parties have quarreled many times, and no one is willing to pay more money to send more troops!

After all, once the army comes out, it will be ten thousand taels of gold!

The greater autonomy also means that local governments spend more money, so there are constant quarrels in parliament.

Fortunately, the authority of the Constitutional Assembly of the Paris government is still there, and everyone dare not delay it for too long. The troops from various provinces have gathered, and it is almost impossible for the superiors to issue orders.

"Everyone, there has been news from the city of Paris that the father of the rebel leader Levi Charles, who is also the leader of the Charles family, has been hanged in Paris.

The Paris government's attitude became increasingly severe. To deal with this traditional feudal aristocratic reactionary force, we should unite all forces and suppress them with thunder.

We have been wasting more than two months. Now Levi is constantly training the army to prepare for war in the traditional territory of the Charles family. Today we will assign combat tasks to the armies of each province."

The speaker of the Brittany Regional Speaker Wallace Hall made a statement in righteous and righteous manner.

In fact, before the decision-making meeting was held, everyone had already discussed their respective proportions of troops and attack directions, and even the areas they were responsible for occupying, etc.

This meeting was just to make the countermeasures discussed privately at the meeting, and it was also to formally issue military orders to the troops gathered in the border province of Morbiang Province.

There are four provinces in the Brittany region, except for the Morbiang province, which are the Phoenix-Stair to the west of Morbiang province, the Amor Coastal Province to the north of Morbiang province and the Ile-Villenne province to the east of Morbiang province.

The city of Rennes is located in the province of Ile-Villenne, which is both the capital of the province and the capital of the region.

The three provinces gathered heavily in three directions of the Morbiang Province, and the total force in each direction was no less than 10,000!

Of course, the quality of the army is hard to say...

The troops gathered in the three provinces were mainly local garrison troops reorganized from local public security centers, some urban guards drawn, and militias in towns.

There are also regular troops, but the number is small and the proportion is very low. They are also scattered among various troops as grassroots to enhance the combat effectiveness of those "parallel goods".

The long-standing Kingdom of France also faces the problem of low combat effectiveness of local troops.

The regular army has strong combat effectiveness, but the regular army is rarely scattered everywhere, and most of them are deployed on national borders and capitals.

Paris alone gathered more than half of the regular troops in the French Kingdom today!

As for the strength of the Levi rebels, due to the imperfect intelligence system in this era and the exaggeration of Yoshimoto and his group, the Brittany District Council generally believed that Levi had nearly 10,000 rebels.

Well, the 30,000 Black Dragon Legion reported by Yoshimoto before was wiped out by more than 20,000 under the courageous resistance of Yoshimoto and his group!

Thank you for the reward of 500 starting coins in Xifeng Rixia.
