Lord Shadow

Chapter 1539 Leash

The Republicʼs affairs are primarily influenced by the High Chancellor, who is currently Katarina, but the day-to-day operations and decision-making are largely driven by the Right and Left Chancellors. 

Jean, serving as the Left Chancellor, has adopted a more hands-off approach compared to his past as a conqueror. 

He acts as a balancing force to the Right Chancellorʼs strategies.

On the other hand, Boris, as the Right Chancellor of the Republic, has been actively working towards the unification of Europe through various means, including military operations and diplomatic maneuvers. 

He has instigated rebellions, sowed seeds of discontent, and pursued avenues to centralize power within the Republic.

Borisʼs efforts to unite Europe are met with mixed reactions within the Senate and among other world powers. 

Some Senate members may support his vision, while others may view it as a challenge to their own autonomy and power. 

The centralization of power in the Republic raises concerns and questions about the future governance and dynamics of Europe under Borisʼs leadership.

The trend towards unifying Europe, driven by Borisʼs actions, sets the stage for complex political dynamics and potential conflicts within the Republic and among the world powers. 

However, all of his current action, this is not what Boris had promised when he first started the Republic of Earth. 

Indeed, the founding principles of the Republic of Earth, previously known as the Revolutionary Army, were rooted in being an adversary to the World Government.

  When the Republic was first established, it was formed as a contrasting alternative to the World Governmentʼs method of governance.

The World Government, led by the Quorum Council, functioned as the rule-making body for the entire World Government territory. 

Initially, the Quorum Council consisted of a small number of individuals, such as President Hirate and Sakurai Kazuyoshi, representing the administration and military respectively. 

Over time, the council expanded, with representatives from various departments within the World Government structure.

Now, there is Hirate as the representative of the President of the World Government. There is Akira as the Vice President of the World Government

There is Lucius Harrison as the representative of the Chief of Staff. 

There is Samuel Cohen as the representative of the Department of Economy. 

There is of course Raymond as the representative of the military. And there are many others. 

Most of which comes from the departments that exist in the World Government structure. 

Sometimes, some of them would be demoted or impeached. Some of them would be promoted and given more clearance. 

However, the World Government operated under a dictatorial-like system, similar to Pandemonium under Death Monarch Azief.

This centralized approach aimed to maintain strength and cohesiveness in the face of the chaotic world and rampant monster presence. 

President Hirate understood the need for unity as a source of strength, emphasizing that decentralization as weakness during those tumultuous times.

The World Governmentʼs focus was on providing strong leadership and direction to guide humanity forward. 

It operated as a unified entity, with decisions made for the greater benefit of the World Government as a whole.

  The centralized authority allowed for quick and decisive actions to be taken, ensuring the safety and stability of the world.

All for the sake of the World Government. 

After the chaotic event known as the Fall, where the Earth was bombarded with meteors and monsters started to appear, the world was in a state of disarray. 

In such a dire situation, people and nations were faced with a crucial choice: freedom or safety.

The World Government, under the leadership of President Hirate, emerged as the only organized force capable of providing protection and stability in those tumultuous times. 

While seeking help from the World Government meant surrendering a certain degree of freedom and autonomy, it offered the promise of safety and security.

In the face of widespread chaos and the constant threat of monsters, many kingdoms and governments chose to align themselves with the World Government. 

The World Government ability to offer protection and a sense of order was a compelling incentive for nations and individuals who were grappling with the challenges of survival.

The choice to prioritize safety over freedom was driven by the immediate need for security in a world overrun by monsters. 

The World Government centralized authority and unified approach provided a sense of stability and direction that was desperately sought after the catastrophic event of the Fall.

While some may have been hesitant to relinquish their independence, the prevailing circumstances and the World Governmentʼs ability to ensure safety outweighed the desire for individual freedom. 

It was a pragmatic choice made in response to the pressing need for protection in an uncertain world.

However, as time passed and the world gradually stabilized, differing opinions and perspectives emerged regarding the balance between freedom and security.

  The emergence of the Republic of Earth as an alternative governance model reflects the ongoing debate and evolution of societal structures in the post-convergence world.

The decision to align with the World Government was a reflection of the desperate circumstances and the need for immediate safety, but it also laid the groundwork for a complex interplay of power, ideology, and individual aspirations in the evolving global landscape.I think you should take a look at

Indeed, the Republic of Earth, previously known as the Revolutionary Army, adopted a different approach to governance compared to the World Government. 

Their aim was to attract and unite nations and kingdoms under their influence by offering a system that respected freedom and sovereignty.

At the core of the Republicʼs governance structure is the Senate, which serves as a platform for discussion, decision-making, and representation. 

The Senate allows member nations and kingdoms to have a voice in shaping the policies and direction of the Republic. 

This ensures that the freedom and sovereignty of allied countries are not infringed upon.

The Republic also operates under a Constitution, which serves as a guiding framework for governance. 

This document outlines the rights, responsibilities, and limitations of both the Senate and member nations. 

It provides a set of rules and principles to ensure fairness and balance within the Republic.

To maintain unity and cooperation among its members, the Republic encourages the sharing of resources. 

This includes energy mines, new discoveries, and any valuable assets that can benefit the Republic as a whole. 

The Senators, as rulers of their respective countries, are required to open up their lands and contribute their resources for the betterment of the Republic.

However, the Republic also enforces accountability and transparency. 

If any member is found to be hiding resources or violating the agreed-upon rules, they may face persecution within the Senate. 

In certain cases, military expeditions can be launched with the permission of the Chancellors, and neighbouring countries or kingdoms may have the opportunity to contest the territory.

Nonetheless, as long as member nations abide by the rules, attend Senate meetings when summoned, and fulfil their resource-sharing obligations, they are generally left to govern their own territories and make decisions for their people.

By offering a system that respects freedom, sovereignty, and shared benefits, the Republic of Earth aimed to create a united front against external threats while allowing member nations to retain a degree of autonomy and self-governance within the framework of the Republic.

While the World Government choses the path of centralization, the Republic chooses decentralization. 

While it had some drawbacks, it also has its benefit 

As the pages of history turned, Boris Ivanov, also known as the Beast King and the Iron Chancellor, embarked on a transformative path that veered from the original ideals of the Republic. 

With a vision for a unified Europe under the aegis of the Inner Council, Boris set in motion a series of calculated maneuvers to consolidate power and control.

The Inner Council, an unofficial yet influential body within the Senate, became the nexus of Borisʼs ambitions. 

Comprising a select group of powerful Senators and Boris himself, it wielded direct control over the states brought under its purview. 

What was once merely referred to as Borisʼs entourage had now evolved into a formal department, backed by individuals who shared Borisʼs vision for a centralized European authority.

While the Republic still maintained its foreign interests in Africa and remained vigilant against potential threats from Asia, Boris felt compelled to reform the foreign policy of the Republic. 

Initially, the Republic had not sought to exert control over the European states. However, a turning point had occurred, prompting Boris to enact drastic measures.

Through skilful diplomacy and strategic maneuvers, Boris succeeded in placing several dozen European states under the dominion of the Inner Council. 

In doing so, he stripped them of their military autonomy and assumed complete control over their resources. 

The once-independent states now found themselves subject to the will of the Senate, their voices muted, and their armies rendered impotent.

As Borisʼs influence grew, so did his own transformation. 

He shed the vestiges of idealism, adopting a pragmatic approach that placed the pursuit of the Republicʼs interests at the forefront. 

With unwavering determination, Boris prioritized expanding and consolidating the Republicʼs power through alliances, military might, and calculated diplomatic maneuvers.

However, the motivations behind Borisʼs drastic measures remained shrouded in mystery. 

Something had transpired, something that had spurred him to forge a path of centralization and control. 

Azief could guess what was it that spurs such changed. For someone like Boris, it is none other than probably his sister disappearance. 

From what he understood, not many people was optimistic that Katarina is still alive at that time. 

The whole world always thought that it was Boris that controls Katarina. But in his eyes, he could see that without Katarina, Boris is like a man without a leash. 

He is known as a beast king. And what an apt title that is. 

To Azief, he is like a beast that has a leash. And the one holding that leash is his sister. And once that is gone, he went ballistic.
