Chapter 661 Secret Party Registration Act
"Oh, Mr. Butler, I have admired you for a long time. Although I am a man, who says men can't like men?"
"Yes, I love you too."
"This...I'm afraid I didn't come at the right time."
"No, Sir Knight, you came at the right time."
The next second, three bloody human heads impaled on spears collided face to face. The secret party holding the spear shaft even pulled out the tongues of the three heads and swung them at each other randomly.
"Hahahahaha——"
"It's my turn, get out of the way."
Sitting next to the stove and the long chestnut table, the secret party laughed loudly, patted the greasy tabletop with their rough palms, and spilled the beer in the wine glasses all over the table.
The once quiet and elegant Knights Hall was now filled to the brim with hundreds of Secret Party members.
They were wrapped in bright robes, colorful headscarves, and bone beads around their necks. Some even took off their shirts, revealing their chests covered with tattoos.
They hugged their knees or sat cross-legged on chairs, making loud noises. The smell of bad breath, cigarette smoke, sweat and alcohol mixed together and penetrated into people's noses.
The tapestry on the wall has long been taken off and replaced with the flag of the Black Snake Bay Secret Party - a spider web-shaped hexagonal battle flag, with weird mysterious symbols next to the flag.
The crooked silver candlestick was almost broken into two pieces in the fight. The secret party leaders stepped on the table with bare feet and grabbed the bread and mutton chops with their bare hands.
Only when the etiquette officer stood at the door and shouted: "His Excellency Horn Galal, the grandson of the Salvation Army, His Excellency Joan III (Lulu Si), the leader of the Joan Party, His Excellency Jeanne, the Lightning Witch, and His Excellency Solan, the President of the Shadow Society." , Arrive!" At that time, everyone gradually became quiet.
A group of secret party members all turned their heads and stared at the door, as if they were under a stasis spell.
Horn, wearing a high-collared navy blue and black embroidered jacket, appeared at the door. He wore a gentle smile and waved to greet the secret party leaders present.
It seemed that the bombardment of Fraser Castle in the past few days was still lingering, and many people did not even dare to express their anger, but just lowered their heads and whispered.
In the calm atmosphere, Horn did not feel uncomfortable and walked naturally towards the main seat.
However, when he was halfway there, someone from the secret party suddenly shouted to Horn: "Abba!"
In this brief silence, the sudden "Abba!" was like a spark falling on a haystack, igniting the atmosphere of the whole place.
Many members of the secret party burst into laughter, and some even shouted "Abba", "Ama", "Grandpa", and the rest shouted Horn's name and cheered.
Solan couldn't help but cover his face, while Lulesi continued to smoke on the ground like an old god, fluttering her short legs and walking towards the seat.
On the contrary, Jeanne looked at these strange people with curiosity and amusement.
Walking to the main seat, Horn sat down without hesitation and raised the wine glass in his hand: "Well, I am most happy that we captured Fraser Castle today. Come on, let me get a drink first."
As he spoke, Horn raised his head and drank all the beer in the glass, and cheers immediately came from the hall.
Wiping the beer foam from the corner of his mouth, Horn filled the glass again: "Today, I would like to toast you all, because today we are no longer losers, but winners. We used our own strength to take back what belongs to us. Land belongs to our dignity.”
Horn smiled, raised his wine glass, and glanced at every secret party leader in the hall. The secret party leaders raised their wine glasses, mutton chops, and dead heads in response.
After the cheers subsided slightly, Horn continued: "However, victory does not mean the end, it is just the beginning.
We captured the fortress, but too much land in Black Snake Bay is still occupied, and the people of Black Snake Bay still live in fear. I know that the Secret Party has always been the guardian of Black Snake Bay. You have used your blood and sacrifice to protect this place, a place of freedom, but I must ask a question - have you really protected it? ”
The hall gradually became quiet, and many people lowered their heads.
"The Church and the Knights have wiped out our properties time and time again, burning our property and razing our homes to the ground. The people of Black Snake Bay are wild but hardworking. However, they are still poor and have to hover on the line of starvation." Horne Pausing for a moment, he pointed to the secret party flag in the hall, "Have you ever thought about why?"
"Because they are too strong."
"The land of Qianhe River Valley is only half of yours, and the extraordinary force you control is even less than yours. Why don't you still expel the church? This is not the reason." Horn shook his head, "It's because you are not united and your strength is always dispersed. Then the internal friction continued until the church seized the opportunity to defeat them one by one.”
"Why I came to Black Snake Bay, the main purpose is to help my former big brother and my current ally stand up." Horn's voice was sonorous and powerful in the knight hall, "Black Snake Bay needs a united federation. ! It is no longer a loose faction, no longer fighting on its own, but a union composed of everyone in Black Snake Bay! ”
The secret parties looked at each other, wondering what Horn was going to say next.
"But as the saying goes, you can't walk ten thousand miles if you don't start with small steps." At this moment, as Lulesi and Solan stood up silently, Horn finally showed his fangs, "The Salvation Army already has a relationship with the Shadow Society. The Ruan Party has reached an agreement to implement the "Secret Party Registration Bill" and the County Joint Assembly in the northern counties starting next week. ”
As soon as Horn finished speaking, the etiquette officer walked in from the door and handed documents one by one into the hands of the secret party.
The so-called "Secret Party Registration Act" means that starting next week, all secret parties must register their secret party names, locations and member lists.
Only registered secret parties can run for seats. Any secret party that cannot obtain at least one seat will either be banned, merged, or relocated.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
All secret parties that are not on the "Secret Party List" are regarded as illegal organizations and do not have any legal effect or judicial recognition.
Following the "Secret Party Registration Act" came the establishment of the Northern County Council, but all secret party members on the register could run for election.
The distribution rules given by Horn are based on townships. The Secret Party registers the population under their control, and one seat will be given to every 20,000 people and their land.
As a result, hundreds of secret parties in eight townships in the northern county were instantly reduced to less than thirty, and they all had to be bound to a certain area.
Small secret parties that cannot get seats must either join other secret parties, or they can only choose to run away.
Based on the current situation in Black Snake Bay, it is basically impossible to implement household registration like Qianhe River Valley.
The reason is very simple. Horn himself is in short supply of administrative manpower. He has to use Qianhe River Valley first, and where can he find the space for Black Snake Bay?
Horn couldn't cure it himself, so he had to let them govern themselves.
He could only rely on this method to let the secret parties register the population and land on their own initiative.
But don't think that the secret parties can falsely report the population and land to increase seats. In the future, taxes and soldiers will be apportioned based on the rosters submitted by the members.
All township councilors in a county form a county assembly, which can decide taxes, apportion levies and propose bills.
In this way, Black Snake Bay changed from secret party autonomy at the village level to regional autonomy at the township level.
The difference is that due to the urgency of the current war situation, the priority of the bill is from the center, to the county, and then to the township.
If there is a conflict between the bills, then whoever has higher priority will listen to whoever has it. There is no possibility that local laws will conflict with federal laws.
"Let me just say this." Horn snapped his fingers, "Whoever can bring a roster of 20,000 people and a land register to the Long Beach County Office will be a member."
