Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 663 - 621: Parliamentary Public Opinion Battle

The matter of the National Assembly swept through the Northern Territory like a gust of wind, with Perfikot's intentional or inadvertent indulgence and instigation, quickly becoming a hot topic among the people of the Northern Territory.

The Noble Council and the elected assembly are not unfamiliar to the citizens of Victory, the former is considered the highest power institution of the Empire.

And these two in large degree are the influence brought by the industrial revolution back then, only Victory did not spark a revolution like France to overthrow aristocratic rule.

This is considered the brilliance of Victory's Royal Family and nobility back then, as well as the result of the efforts of Perfikot's parents' generation. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Feudal nobles ceded power to the emerging bourgeoisie, and the assembly is its most important embodiment.

Although the Noble Council still holds great power, the elected assembly actually doesn't hold much power, but this is still seen as a symbol of social progress.

Even though to both sides, this is actually a product of political compromise.

And now, someone is finally going to break this old compromise product, truly realizing 'democracy,' how could this not make some people feel excited and inspired?

"This is absolutely wonderful!"

"Those noble lords should see now who is truly in charge! Their era has passed!"

"It is undeniable that some nobles have indeed received elite education, possessing sufficient knowledge and ability, but this is only a part of them, more nobles are ignorant and inept wastrels. The Empire should appoint talents based on everyone's ability, not because of their bloodline and pedigree!"

"Not only the nobles, the days of capitalists imposing their will should also come to an end! We need deputies who can represent ordinary people!"

Seeing various opinions in the newspaper, Perfikot shook her head, put down the newspaper, and resumed eating her breakfast.

"It seems today's news doesn't have anything to interest you, miss." The old butler watched Perfikot put down the newspaper and thus reached out to organize it neatly and placed it aside, lest it interfere with Perfikot's breakfast.

To this, Perfikot merely shrugged and smiled saying: "It's all stuff I already know, naturally it doesn't attract me."

A considerable part of these comments are actually ordered by her to be circulated, and the remaining part basically has her approval to be published.

After all, all newspapers and other media in the Northern Territory are under the control of the Lord of the Northern Territory's mansion, wanting to bypass her voice? One can only say it's wishful thinking.

However, it's not that no one realized this point, thus attempting to establish their own newspaper to publish newspapers, or trying to self-publish pamphlets and booklets, but without reporting, it is considered illegal, most of those attempting to do this fail to gain momentum.

Only some with legitimate background or deemed by Perfikot as suitable to stir the Northern Territory's public opinion environment like catfish can obtain official approval, gaining a legal license to issue newspapers.

But even so, the voice of the Northern Territory is still held by Perfikot.

After all, the logistics of the Northern Territory relies entirely on official controlled merchant caravans for transport, and all merchant caravans belong to the Lord's mansion, under such circumstances, the delivery of news newspapers depends on Perfikot's mood.

If she doesn't mind, all newspapers can be delivered on time, and if she wants to interfere, it only takes delaying the delivery time of the newspapers she doesn't like for a day or two, and things will become completely different.

News is time-sensitive, some things you're aware of immediately and things you know after a few days have entirely different effects.

And the logistics controlled by Perfikot can ensure the message she desires to reach promptly is delivered within the time limit, while the message she dislikes might be delayed.

After all, with the current environment in the Northern Territory, a merchant caravan encountering wind and snow on the road being delayed for a day or two is too normal.

It's not that there's no smart person who thought of this point, but before the doomsday winter someone could resort to smuggling using their controlled channels, after the doomsday, in the snowstorm blockade, except for the Northern Territory caravans equipped with robots controlled by Perfikot, others wanting to establish a stable logistics channel is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Although not impossible, it requires a massive input of cost and resources, simultaneously needing transportation tools that can maintain normal traffic even in snowstorms.

And currently in the Northern Territory, except for robots made by Perfikot, only the Flying Airship can accomplish such things.

But the use of the Flying Airship requires coordination with an airport, it's not possible to just airdrop goods directly, or for the Flying Airship to land in the wild, right?

Some have indeed tried, but transporting a small amount of supplies, maintaining an unstable smuggling route is feasible, but establishing a stable logistics channel using this method is very challenging.

Therefore with Perfikot's dual strategy, it's not to say the entire Northern Territory's news media is completely under her control, but it can be said she can freely sway the news people can receive.

As for contents like "Social elites are more capable for deputy positions" "The wealthy bear more responsibilities and also should enjoy more power", newspapers do have them, but mostly not in prominent positions, and the proportion of content on newspapers isn't large, making them not easy to spot at a glance.
