    The Chinese diplomatic mission was invited to participate in Cromwell's "enthronement" ceremony.

    According to the new and amended constitution, Cromwell served as Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland.

    In his inaugural speech, he declared: "The protector of the country serves for life, jointly holds the legislative power with the Congress, and exercises executive power with the State CouncilThe bills of the parliament must be approved by the protector of the country to take effect."

    What do you mean?

    This position is for life, will not step down, and does not need to be re-elected midway.  Legislative power and executive power still belong to the parliament in name, but any decision must be made by the protector of the country.

    The British Parliament has been preserved, but only an empty shelf remains.

    "The king was killed, so he is definitely not Yi Yin and Huo Guang. But he did not usurp the throne and become king, so he is not Wang Mang's generation," Zhang Ruifeng discussed this, "So, what is Cromwell, the protector of the country?"

    What kind of?  Similar to a dictatorial president for life.

    Pan Wei thought carefully and said: "China has not had such a political system since ancient times, and we cannot judge the present from history. A country cannot live without a king. Although this statement comes from a Taoist classic, it is also an irrefutable fact. Cromwell's most fatal weakness  , It¡¯s because he didn¡¯t establish a succession system. He¡¯s monopolizing the power right now, and of course no one dares to object, but what about after he dies?¡±

    Cai Yuncheng said: "When Cromwell dies, Britain will inevitably be in chaos. There are no more than three situations. First, his confidants support his son as the protector of the country; second, the royalists welcome back the restoration of the royal family;  The previous republic. These three situations are likely to occur at the same time, and it depends on which side wins."

    Zhang Ruifeng said: "Even if his son succeeds to the throne, it won't be possible for a long time. Because the position of protector of the country, the name is not right, the words are not right, and it is only a temporary establishment."

    In the eyes of the Chinese envoys, Cromwell is really not good at thinking.

    Now that you have mastered a country's military and political affairs, the first thing you need to establish is your own legal order and the continuation of the legal order.

    Cromwell's legislature was borrowed from Parliament, and the legitimacy itself is still in Parliament, and it is logical that he must return it after his death.  In this way, it is a one-shot deal, and I am so happy that I will die, regardless of the affairs behind me.  In China, they will be liquidated after death, and it is normal to ransack the family and exterminate the family.

    If you want to solve this problem once and for all, you must get rid of the parliament.

    Either really dissolve the parliament, or replace the parliament with your own people.  But neither of these methods is possible. Without Parliament, Cromwell's legal system is gone.  As for the members of the parliament, one radish and one pit, Cromwell can't change it even if he wants to.

    After a long time, Zhang Ruifeng made a concluding evaluation: "Cromwell is a powerful minister and warlord who is incapable of being king. What he really should do is to institutionalize the 'protector of the country' in order to save his own affairs. If the '  The protector of the country is hereditary, and will be opposed by the whole country. Therefore, the protector of the country should be elected. Doesn¡¯t the European parliament like to vote? Then let the parliament vote for the protector of the country.¡±

    Cai Yuncheng nodded and said: "That's true. Once the system of voting for the protector of the country is established, after the death of Cromwell, the goal of the British powers will become a battle for the new protector of the country. No matter who succeeds the protector of the country, they will  Support Cromwell's system and do everything possible to prevent the restoration of the British royal family. In this way, Cromwell will not be whipped to death."

    Pan Wei shook his head: "The power of the protector of the country was taken from the parliament. If one Cromwell is enough for the parliament, they will elect a second one? If the parliament is allowed to elect a new protector of the country  Lord, the first reaction of the parliament was to vote to abolish the protector system."

    A knot that cannot be untied.

    In the British revolution, too little blood was shed, and it was full of compromises. Cromwell was not qualified to be Napoleon.

    Lu Tianxiang said: "There is no need to discuss what happened to Cromwell. What does this person mean? He actually disagrees with the alliance between China and Britain to deal with the Netherlands in Asia."

    "I don't understand." Zhang Ruifeng shook his head.

    Of course normal people can't understand it, because Cromwell's idea is too weird.

    He first wanted to engage in the Anglo-Dutch Commonwealth and together dominate the world.  After the Dutch clearly refused, they wanted to form an Anglo-Dutch alliance and use the Dutch overseas power to help the British colonial expansion.

    The Dutch are not fools, I have worked so hard to break through the situation, let you British guys come to pick peaches?

    Cromwell was too conceited to think he had the Dutchman.

    In fact, the final treaty between Britain and the Netherlands only forced the Netherlands to recognize the "Navigation Regulations".  And this kind of acknowledgment is a superficial acknowledgment, and it is violated in actual operation.

    Except for reparations and an island, nothing changed for Britain.  The indemnity is not enough to make up for the war expenses, the use of Kojima; Since the envoys went to sea, Cromwell is the most hated leader of a country.

    Whether it is Mughal, Persia or France, even the king of Portugal is generous.  Delicious food and drinks are offered, and you can just say what you want. There is a valuable meeting gift when you come, and there is a farewell gift when you leave.

    But Cromwell didn't say anything, and the meeting ceremony was pitifully shabby.

    This product was at war with the Netherlands, and the British finances almost collapsed.  He spent a lot of his own savings during the uprising, so he couldn't afford to entertain the Chinese envoys.

    Even for ordinary diplomatic contracts, Cromwell is very careful, for fear of being cheated by China.

    You can see that the Queen Mother of France hardly objected to the conditions proposed by China, nor did she think about taking advantage of China through the treaty.  </div&gt
