I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Of course, this is calculated based on real bullets. She is not really a spendthrift. She just wants to practice firing some bullets for fun.

Playing with big toys, taking a bath, changing clothes, drinking a cup of tea in the pavilion in the back garden of the palace, and feeding the pigron in the fish pond can help Medea adjust her mental state well.

Just as Medea was drinking tea in the garden, the maid walked up to Medea with light steps, leaned over and whispered in her ear, saying that Prime Minister Golitsyn was outside asking to see her.

Medea patted the other's thigh wrapped in white silk to show her understanding.

Why are you slapping your thighs? Do you know how difficult it is to make white silk? Well, it’s not that difficult, she just wants to touch it~

When she had stayed there long enough and got up to see him, Golitsyn, wearing an old Astar military uniform with all kinds of medals hanging on his chest, knelt down in front of her with tears streaming down his face.

Medea bent down and reached out to help him up. She straightened his collar and smoothed out the wrinkles on his military uniform. Her actions were very gentle, but her words were cold: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not helping you. You are you, and they are them."

Golitsyn trembled when he heard this and said quickly: "Your Majesty! I was wrong! I shouldn't have done something wrong because of my momentary obsession. Your Majesty, please consider my military exploits and hard work for you and the country over the years..."

Medea raised her hand to stop him from speaking, and waved to Anna who was rushing over: "Get a box over here."

When Anna saw Golitsyn's attire, she immediately understood what Medea meant, and quickly found a medal box and walked to Medea's side with it.

She reached out to the topmost medal that Golitsyn was wearing and took it off:

"This is the People's Medal. It's the highest honor you've ever received since you followed me as the Meat Grinder in Hal Town until the founding of the Seris Federation. I've given you five of these medals, corresponding to the heads of the five major departments today."

"This is the People's Meritorious Service Gold Star Medal, which is awarded for your outstanding contribution to the people in commanding the battle. I have issued 12 medals in total, to generals."

"This one is a first-class Vatican medal, awarded during the Battle of Hendak. There are only two of them, one for you and one for Lawrence."

"This is the First Class Medal of Freedom. It is awarded to you for your outstanding performance in capturing nobles and manor owners and rescuing a large number of tenants and serfs."

Medea gently took off the medals from his body and put them back on the tray.

Golitsyn's body was shaking more and more violently until all the medals on his uniform were removed by Medea. The guards holding him from behind finally let go of his hands and let him fall to the ground.

After finishing all this slowly, Medea looked down at him and said, "Golitsyn, do you find anything in common?"

"You have forgotten who you used to be. You are weak now, because only the weak will reach out to the weaker. It was you who returned these honors with your own hands."

"Military achievements? Hardworking? What achievements do you have now? All your achievements are just earthen forts on the beach. Nothing will be left after the sea water washes away."

"All your merits and honors are built on the fact that the people are not oppressed. If you betray the people, you are nothing!"

Chapter 171 Raise your hands!

Golitsyn, who was slumped on the ground, looked up at her, knelt down again, and took out an inconspicuous silver medal from his jacket pocket with trembling hands. Perhaps this was the most insignificant honor he had ever received in all these years.

At the last moment, Golitsyn took it back, covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly. A complex expression flashed across Medea's face, and she walked around him and walked out:

"Explain clearly, I will let you die with dignity...according to the customs of Uruk. You should understand that I have always restricted myself, not you. I have been kind enough to you."

Golitsyn spread out his hands, staring at the medal in his palms, which had an eagle with flapping wings engraved on the front and the Young Army Hal Second Class Meritorious Medal, and the date 3233 engraved on the back.

Hal Meat Grinder was the recipient of the first-class gold medal after no one was left alive, but he was awarded a silver medal because of his injuries and his outstanding achievements.

They were all carved by Medea herself using magic, and each one has slight differences. This is also the only time she has made a medal of honor using the family crest.

The country was founded in 3249, and now it is 3262, 13 years after its founding, and 29 years have passed since the war.

When he was 12 years old, he almost starved to death on the roadside because his parents had both died and he could not get any food. He was chosen by Marquis Ackerman who was passing by and was raised in the Uruk Youth Army, while at the same time accepting the leadership of the Marquis's son.

When he was 14 years old, Ackerman's granddaughter Medea took over the military power. Five years later, Astar declared independence and launched the Hal defensive counterattack.

From the age of 12 to the current age of 48, he has been a follower of three generations of Astar.

He knew very well that if this medal was handed to Medea, there was a chance that the other party would let him go out of their friendship.

But at the last moment he couldn't stretch out his hand, as if an invisible, young hand was holding him down tightly.

The Uruk Youth Army was fierce, united and had high morale. It was the first legion to be reorganized into qualified volunteers by Media, and was also the source of frontline commanders and fighters for all subsequent legions.

The front-line commanders and fighters are the ones who lead the charge every time the charge is sounded, and the casualty rate has remained high.

The so-called comrades-in-arms are those who, when you see him fall down with your own eyes and there is no time to rescue him or to feel sad, you will step on his shoulders to complete what he wants to do and stand upright on the battlefield for him.

The reason he was able to survive and live to this day is that he was younger at the time and was the younger brother who grew up under the care of other older brothers in the army. He was cared for and protected from bullets countless times during the war.

The Uruk army has always had the tradition of keeping young people. Smallness represents youth and vigorous vitality, and is also a way to continue the inheritance.

It was because his comrades in the Young Army passed on their lives in the flames of war and left behind their youngest comrades, which gave Golitsyn the opportunity to step by step reach his current position.

If he really put this medal in front of Medea, he would not only be ashamed of the people, but also let down the expectations of his comrades before their death.

I can't face the younger me I used to be.

It will be just as Medea said, without honor, without belonging, everything in the past will be denied by himself, and he will be nothing.

Anna, with her hands folded on her abdomen, watched the scene coldly. If Golitsyn really dared not to leave her the last bit of dignity, she would not mind asking real Uruk veterans to come and clean up the mess.

There were many veterans who were disabled in the line of duty and were living out their lives in their hometowns. Who could be less honorable than him? Many of them were Golitsyn's former superiors.

According to Golitsyn's own confession after he surrendered himself, he and his wife adopted two children from Ankergas after he lost his fertility due to injuries.

At the request of his children, Golitsyn took care of the other party's relatives and stuffed them into the system to work. Later, such relatives gathered in the same area like the division of cancer cells.

The clan itself is composed of various bloodlines of relatives, and the relatives themselves have bloodlines of collateral relatives. In this way, local groups are naturally formed by one person pulling another.

With the remote command of Golitsyn who was in charge of the central government, the two most important positions in Xinzhou were replaced by their own people, forming a large organization that had roots in all departments and civilian industries from bottom to top.

There are over ten thousand senior officials, hundreds of thousands of middle and senior officials, and millions of lower-level civil servants. It is difficult to review this situation using normal methods.

But this is normal. What is abnormal is what Anna is doing now.

"Integrity agents! Put your hands up!"

"Don't try to resist!"

Soon, Minister Lawrence was also arrested by the Integrity Supervision Department in the Ministry of Justice’s office. In front of many leaders and staff of the judicial department, Lawrence was taken away in a very embarrassing manner.

The signal sent out is very clear. If an important senior official is treated like this, it proves that the chain of evidence is absolutely sufficient and there is no way he can overturn the verdict.

The Integrity Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who were fully armed with mechas, attacked together, following the clues given by Golitsyn and Lawrence all the way down, and a large number of officials and businessmen in the capital were arrested.

At the same time, more related personnel were taken away for unconditional investigation. All those with connections within the ten clans were caught in one fell swoop, arrested first and then tried, with cross-testimony.

Evidence? What evidence is needed?

Questioning his betrayal of the people and his loyalty to the Queen.

These two sentences are enough to make all citizens of the alliance accept investigation unconditionally, and anyone who dares to resist will be immediately socially killed on the spot.

Power was originally delegated by the Queen as a representative of the public authority, and taking it back is just a matter of a word.

In the aristocratic era, they still had private armies and could speak out against the central government. But in this era, having lost the public power granted to them, they are nothing.

Even as the train to Ankergas was on its way, the purge movement in the core area of ​​the entire alliance expanded rapidly at an extremely exaggerated speed.

Black buses with surveillance logos painted on them, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' White Star explosion-proof wheeled armored vehicles, and special service mecha soldiers were traveling all over the alliance. From time to time, figures wearing black hoods were carried and thrown onto the buses.

'Let me go! I am a hero who has been commended by Her Majesty herself! I have fought for Seris! I have shed blood for Her Majesty! I want to see Her Majesty!'

"Shut up! This is what your majesty meant!"

The older man's legs suddenly went weak and he stopped talking, but the guy next to him, who looked like a young man, was shouting loudly.

'Let me go! Why did you arrest me? Do you know who I am? My father is...'

Seeing this, the special police officer on the side turned his gun around and hit the man hard in the mouth with the butt of the gun. The man fell silent immediately and was thrown onto the bus like a dead dog.

There was not even a trace of the special police in the newly incorporated Xinzhou. All of them were notified to take leave at home. The army directly entered the city to take over the affairs of various continents, waiting for the arrival of the Black and White Devils.

Anna's secret intelligence department has always been lurking behind the two departments. Once someone tries to reach out to the two departments at work, she will immediately trace them back and uproot them.

Anyone who dares to take action at this juncture must have done something wrong, even if there is no serious problem, and he will be subject to any form of interrogation.

Many politicians who had not yet been arrested were in a state of panic, and even more people simply chose to turn themselves in in the hope of receiving a lighter sentence.

No one can tell exactly how much corruption there is. To many people, it cannot be considered corruption at all. At most, it is just a return to the Ovinia period.

Chapter 172 Public Service Collective Responsibility System

[There are always people who try to go back to the past, thinking that they can then transform from a brave warrior into a new evil dragon. ]

[But they didn’t seem to think that it was me, not them, who decided whether to turn into a dragon.]

[Even if they really become evil dragons, they are at best just decorations next to the snacks. So who gave them the illusion? ]

[Sorry, it seems like it’s me too...]

Mitia gave the above evaluation after looking at the cases in the report where many officials were identified as corrupt officials by the public early on and were beaten to death by angry citizens who rushed into their homes when the storm started.

In fact, she has always tried her best to avoid the tragedy of having the bow put away after all the birds are killed, and she has tried her best to ensure that the heroes and martyrs can receive relatively appropriate treatment.

Luxury-oriented state-owned enterprises that guarantee stable income regardless of drought or flood, extra points in national exams, rent and tax exemptions, and medical, educational and living security.

In all aspects, she believed that she had fulfilled the famous saying in the novel "The Story of Boss Cao": "I will take care of your wife and children, so don't worry about them."

But for some people their needs for being corrupted are different.

Does Golitsyn need money? He won't have to worry about money in his next life.

Is he lacking power? The power of the speaker has reached its ceiling. The next step is for Medea to go down and for him to come up.

After retiring, he is only in his early 50s, so there is no problem for him to go into education and become a university president.

He has no shortage of money or power, and can retire safely and enjoy his old age. He has followed the Astar family for three generations in power. Based on this bond, as long as the Astar family is not exterminated, his family will always have a share of food.

In the future, when he dies, the family tree will have to start from him, so why would he be corrupted? In order for the two adopted sons to have many children, so that they can dominate a state, and let his name be worshipped by the adopted sons' families for generations?

This reason was very abstract, but it was the confession given by Golitsyn. He said that he had obtained everything in this life, except for the fate of having descendants. He wanted to give the other party the greatest convenience while he was still in power, and make the other party as powerful as possible.

And that silver medal was his trump card. In case of failure, he could use it as a get-out-of-jail-free ticket. The Queen would never kill him.

Medea really wouldn't kill him, and she accepted him as a get-out-of-jail-free card, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to get over it in the end, nor did he think that just as he had the get-out-of-jail-free card, so did other people, and there would always be someone who could deal with him.

And he really has no descendants.

Because of him, a future key figure of the alliance was forced to death.

When Thatcher's secretary handed over the evidence he had left behind, the joint investigation team successfully exonerated him.

Mrs. Thatcher, with her big belly, was holding her son and a group of victims' families, and under the escort of the Special Intelligence Department and the army, she held her husband in her arms. The portraits of her family members were paraded around the city, and the whole of New South Wales became a powder keg.

As the military police and central government staff looked on coldly, the big net they had worked so hard to weave was torn to pieces by the angry citizens.

Don't doubt the ordinary people's network of relationships. In their daily conversations, many people will unconsciously reveal their secrets.
