That’s definitely not a good sign; it could symbolize a conflict arising between the two, forcing them to have an open confrontation within this typically ornantal institution.
Under normal circumstances, the two should have mutual understanding, neither exceeding what the charter stipulates. If they must exceed it, then discuss it first, and the charter, and proceed to the next step.
Of course, this thing as a supervisory institution—whether or not it will remain rely nominal in the future—it must still exist. At the very least, it should give the two Imperial leaders a place to sit down and negotiate when conflicts arise.
Besides this charter committee, there’s another one, which is probably just a formal "restriction."
The power and responsibility of the Regent King and the new Pri Minister are enormous. Therefore, the new "Charter," providing the latest legitimacy to the Regent King and Pri Minister, must be acknowledged by the Regent King and Imperial Pri Minister and signed in the presence of the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guard, Founding General of Mars, and Pontiff of the State Religion.
The sa procedure applies to future revisions.
The recognition of the dual heads of state is, of course, the most crucial. After all, the charter, in the end, is their mutual agreent on what each does, outlining their respective "spheres of influence," ensuring the unpleasant aspects are dealt with upfront for easier collaboration.
As for other so-called witnesses... well, they’re just there to witness.
When the so-called "Imperial dual leadership" becos molded, under two highly centralized tycoons, what of the Martian Sect, or the Imperial Forbidden Army, then? Aren’t they ultimately bound to obediently follow orders?
While the Imperial Guard might be fine, can Gu Hang tolerate the existence of the so-called "other head on the Imperial Double-headed Eagle emblem," like the Martian Sect?
Just look at the survival environnt of the Sect of chanics within the Alliance to understand.
Gu Hang will provide the Sect of chanics with respect, but this respect is built on the fact that the Sect of chanics integrates into the Alliance’s research and production systems.
The situation where the Sect of chanics’ fleet roams globally collecting technical data and recycling black boxes, ignoring other matters, is not allowed to happen within the Alliance. The Protection Army and chanical Sect Fleet within the Alliance have already been reorganized. Except for the fleet and army unit nas retaining their original characteristics and preserving the cultural elents symbolizing their origin—perhaps also maintaining so of their unique command systems—when it cos to overall strategic planning, they must completely follow the orders of the Alliance Supre Command.
If told to join a particular army in the Dark Side Expedition, they must go without negotiation; and upon arrival, there’s no independent command authority—they must follow orders from the army command center and complete missions effectively. Failure leads to stripping of uniforms and facing military tribunals.
Similarly, the Alliance will hand over all distinct technology acquired worldwide, technology from alien races, and technology left from the Golden Age to the Alliance’s research institutes. Once fully integrated, the Sect of chanics can naturally access them freely.
As for the National Church, it faces even more severe restrictions.
High efficiency demands a unification of national power. Gu Hang doesn’t allow a situation where multiple forces fracture, lacking affiliation, and even backstabbing and obstructing one another.
In the future, when the Alliance’s political system replaces the Empire’s old governnt, the corresponding scenario will unfold across every inch of the Empire.
Undoubtedly, it will incite considerable controversy and even struggle.
But Gu Hang is determined to eliminate these resistances.
In Gu Hang’s mind, no matter how thoroughly the reform, it’s still inadequate if aiming to save the entire Empire.
According to Gu Hang’s idea, his interest lies not in taking over Holy Terra or transforming the Empire’s old governnt.
No, there’s no such transformation.
This isn’t about transformation; it’s a revolution.
He wants to overthrow the Empire’s old regi, using his Alliance Central Governnt, with which he’s currently satisfied, to completely replace the old Empire’s governnt.
The existing system should be utterly destroyed in this war to allow new life to rise from the ruins.
When Gu Hang laid bare his thoughts on Holy Terra, even Robert, who sowhat anticipated it, felt a tinge of panic.
To him, this seed a bit too radical.
The Holy Terra Governnt isn’t quite that hopeless, is it?
Leaving nothing behind?
If there’s no transition, would it be too chaotic in the interim? Could there be issues integrating the Empire’s powers?
He harbors nurous concerns.
But Gu Hang provided a clear answer.
The Holy Terra Governnt is indeed so unsalvageable.
Moreover...
"Abandon illusions, abandon luck, Your Highness the Regent King. Now, we must have the determination to rebuild the Empire."
"Rebuilding is not just rhetoric; it’s a genuine rebirth in flas. Starting with the Alliance’s Dark Side Expedition, including when we regain control of Holy Terra in the future, we’ll launch expeditions against parts of the Empire’s Holy Territory from Holy Terra; it’s akin to fighting another grand founding expedition."
"You must be prepared for this. It’s about recreating the Empire."
"Future history might refer to the Empire from this point onward as the Third Empire, perhaps."
Upon hearing the term "Third Empire," Robert’s heart skipped a beat.
At least two things here struck him profoundly.
First, it’s Gu Hang’s ambition—or perhaps determination—of such magnitude. Completely recreating a new Empire with the Alliance replacing the Empire is imnsely significant.
Yet, before further pondering this, Robert must contemplate why Gu Hang described their rebuilt Empire as the "Third Empire?"
If the old Empire was the First Empire, then what is the "Second" Empire?
He recalled a part of deeply hidden history—buried within the Empire’s civil war—the Second Empire.
It’s a secret he never wants revealed: during a ti they thought the civil war was lost, Holy Terra had fallen to traitors, and the Golden Throne had crumbled, he and another loyal blood-relative brother, Father of Death Angel Genetics, crowned a new Emperor within the Infinite Starfield for their kin.
It was an absurd farce. Upon learning Holy Terra hadn’t fallen, nor had the Golden Throne collapsed, they proactively ended the farce, burying the Second Empire in history, rallying armies, and saving Holy Terra.
But thereafter, neither dared to publicly ntion the event.
Public exposure would raise the question of who was the true traitor?
Such overstepping and betrayal... so profane.
Were soone else to ntion it, Robert’s first act would be to draw the Emperor’s Sword, kill the person, and launch a massive, covert investigation to eliminate all who knew.
But since Gu Hang spoke...
Alright, he neither has the ans to dispose of Gu Hang nor finds it surprising that Gu Hang is aware of this matter.
...
According to Robert’s words, "This fortifies a foundation for the newborn ’Imperial dual leadership’ to withstand millennia of turmoil. The King and Pri Minister must maintain absolute mutual trust."
