"If this goes on, maybe in twenty years, the East African administrative region can challenge European countries."
"Relying on this group of black brothers?"
"Relying on this group of black brothers is probably enough!"
When the cruise ship sailed through the Suez Canal, the agricultural technicians traveling with Wei Kun couldn't help but argue. On the way back from Denmark to Sudan, this group of people visited countries along the way. Since they were agricultural technicians, everyone naturally hoped to catch a glimpse of the agricultural situation of European countries.
As a result, only in France. The Foreign Affairs Department asked the French government for help, and the French government really helped to contact several farms for this group of people to visit. Other countries, especially those with royal power, did not get a good result from this request. The organized tours were all for the local small farms, and some of them were even for ordinary farmers. Large farms were strictly controlled, and the local officials of those countries did not even dare to provoke them.
Local tyrants? At this point, the young people of the Min dynasty were really not optimistic about the future of Europe. Africa also had relatively large and fierce tribes, which could probably achieve this in East Africa at this stage. But it was not normal to compare these savages with the tyrants of European countries.
"Twenty years later, East Africa will probably be able to fight against the invading European countries on its own." Wei Kun was not so optimistic. Two thousand years ago, the Romans ruled the Mediterranean, and the level of the black brothers in East Africa was limited. In other words, the black brothers' progress in two thousand years was very limited. Even though Europe experienced the collapse of Rome, the invasion of barbarians, and the dark age of religious theocracy. But Europe accumulated civilization and made progress in the two thousand years. It was obviously impossible to expect East Africa to walk the road of Europe in two thousand years in twenty years.
The ship sailed at a turtle speed in the Suez Canal. This speed made the young people who were about to return to Sudan more anxious. If it wasn't because the turtle speed was too slow, everyone would not talk about such an emotional topic.
"Why don't the British dredge the canal? If it's still at this speed, our alfalfa probably can't be transported to the Mediterranean smoothly. "Finally, someone began to ask this key question.
"The British are afraid that the Suez Canal can accommodate warships that are too big and will be taken away by our China warships." Wei Kun smiled and told the truth.
Hearing this truth, the comrades became even more agitated, and their tough attitude immediately came out. "Look at the current state of the UK. Can't we deal with them? East Africa has the ability to deal with England alone! "
"Hehehe!" Wei Kun did not want to laugh at his comrades, because he knew that their anxiety at this time was not because they were hostile to the United Kingdom, but because they were extremely unhappy that the British-controlled Suez Canal was so crowded. After thinking about it, Wei Kun said, "Let's make a report to the central government and hope that they can consider the issue of the export channel for East African agricultural products."
After Wei Kun's report was approved by Wang Mingshan, it was forwarded to the central government. Because it was a report submitted by a high-ranking party organization, it was sent directly to Vézé, the president of the Restoration Party. When the secretary brought in the report, he saw Shen Xin, the newly appointed president of the Min dynasty, standing in front of Vézé, the president of the Restoration Party, and saying something agitatedly.
The secretary wanted to go over and listen, but the guards blocked him outside. After handing the report to Vézé's office director, the secretary left with great curiosity. The power of the party, government and army was once in the hands of Vézé. The law of the Min dynasty stipulated that the president's term was five years, and he could serve a maximum of two consecutive terms. However, this thing was useless to Vézé, because the National People's Congress, the authority of the Min dynasty, transferred the public power that belonged to the state to Vézé. In other words, the law determined that Vézé was not bound by the law. Or more accurately, the state unconditionally endorsed Vézé. Of course, the situation in China determined that Vézé did not use the power of the state to serve himself, but used such power to serve the people. This was in line with the cultural tradition of China, which meant that the highest power served the people, and the people supported the highest power. This cultural concept was setting off a frenzy in Europe with the new China craze. Whether it was the left or the right in Europe, whether it was the bourgeoisie or the proletariat, they all praised this political ethic.
Of course, Vézé's term as president was not limited, but Shen Xin's term was not. But for the secretary, ten years as the highest leader of the state was like ten years as an emperor, an unattainable position, a position that was extremely enviable. The secretary was very jealous of Shen Xin's "good luck."
Even with the high position of the state president, Shen Xin still stood in front of Vézé like a primary school student. He was a little emotional at this time, so he did not sit down. Vézé originally wanted to let Shen Xin sit down and talk.
"Commander-in-chief, I think Qi Rui should be promoted to lieutenant general. You may have other ideas, but I think the army is the army, and it must be rewarded according to merit. With Qi Rui's merit, it is not surprising that he will be promoted to general. This time, ten generals were promoted at once, making it twelve. I think it is very suitable. "Shen Xin was very emotional.
Vézé frowned slightly. It was not very advantageous for Qi Rui to be his son. Therefore, Vézé would rather let Qi Rui suffer a little in order to avoid other people's jealousy. Jealousy was an instinctive reaction of humans, born with such brain regions and neuronal connections. Vézé thought that Qi Rui's excessive exposure was not a good thing. But Shen Xin's view was obviously different. Shen Xin's reason was very simple: discipline and order could not be unfair. It was unfair to force people who were incapable to a high position, and it was also unfair to prevent people who were capable from climbing to a high position.
There was nothing wrong with this view, but Vézé's attitude towards Qi Rui was that of a father to his son, not that of a superior to a subordinate. From a simple point of view, Shen Xin was right. Those who were capable should go up, and those who were incapable should get lost. Moreover, those who were capable when they were regimental commanders could get lost when they were promoted to division commanders. But Vézé thought that Qi Rui was not capable enough to take on a higher position. Or it should be said that with Qi Rui's current ability to take on a higher position, the possibility of failure was quite high. As a father, he would definitely not let his son take such a big risk.
Shen Xin continued, "I am now a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission. It is fine if I don't know about this. But since I know, I will speak. "
Vézé was not shaken by Shen Xin's tough stance. At his position, there was no need to be shaken. Everyone would have thousands of speculations about Vézé's choice, and Vézé no longer made any personal explanations for his thoughts. If explaining was worse than not explaining, then there would be nothing to explain.
But Vézé also felt that Shen Xin's philosophy had some value, and it might not be a good thing to suppress Qi Rui too much. If even Shen Xin could not stand it, then the people below would probably spread even more rumors. Since there would be all kinds of over-interpretation of everything, the most convincing approach was to follow the basic principles.
"Okay. I will issue a promotion order for Qi Rui to a lieutenant general. But I want him to retire and work in North America, "replied Vézé. After saying this, Vézé saw that Chairman Shen Xin's face finally relaxed a little, so he pointed to the sofa and asked Shen Xin to sit down. After Shen Xin sat down, Vézé asked, "Will Qi Rui's promotion help your work?"
Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then an uncomfortable expression appeared on his face. It was not that Vézé said anything wrong, but that Vézé had pointed out what Shen Xin was thinking. He did this not for Qi Rui, but for Shen Xin's own work. If the country's president was just a vase, then such a high position would be meaningless. Shen Xin's loyalty to Vézé was naturally full, but loyalty and servility were never the same thing. Not to mention, Shen Xin was an old brother. This group of old brothers had a characteristic. Although they had the mentality of loyalty from the old era, their biggest motivation for following Vézé was to agree with the ideals Vézé had described to them. Although Shen Xin admitted that he was far inferior to Vézé, Shen Xin was also a person with ideals.
"Commander-in-chief, I hope to strengthen social management. I think it would be a big failure if such a large piece of land in North America was turned into a small-scale peasant economy. "Shen Xin expressed his thoughts." So I think a strong industrial system is the key. It would be good if this industrial system could reach the level of the army. "
Vézé felt a burst of disappointment in his heart. People who came from a military background were like this. They believed that the command-type model of the army was the best. From a pure theoretical point of view, detailed research, training, preparation, and choosing the best time to implement powerful actions. In terms of management, the idea was unified from top to bottom. This thing looked beautiful in theory. It was really beautiful. But it was really not suitable for national governance.
"I don't think you should confuse the discipline of the system with the discipline of the party," Vézé replied. After saying this, Vézé was a little disappointed. He felt that he was actually finding excuses for Shen Xin.
Sure enough, Shen Xin's eyes lit up. He was immediately energized. Vézé sighed in his heart, but said calmly, "Shen Xin. I don't think you can change your mind. It's very difficult for you to do this job. The gap between the expectations in your heart and the reality is too big. I also know that. At this time, what you need is to be calm. Carry out the remaining three years of the five-year plan first. "
"Isn't the five-year plan controlled by you, Commander-in-chief?" Shen Xin asked.
Vézé couldn't help but exhale heavily. But after only a moment of dissatisfaction, Vézé still controlled his emotions. The party system had also gone through decades of development before it gradually became a system. The development of the Americans' country was based on a firm "constitutional foundation." No matter how many amendments were made to the US Constitution, how many patches were added to the original Constitution, and how many roundabout words were said. But the US at least emphasized that they had a constitution. If it was only twenty years, it was really a very outrageous wish to let the current Min dynasty have the system and level of the second decade of the 21st century.
The unhappy mood was swept away from Vézé's heart. Many years of tempering made Vézé calmly say, "Every term of president has to complete the five-year plan set by the previous term. Why is the five-year plan not completed in the same term? The term of the president is five years, and the five-year plan is also five years. Why can't it be done when you come into power and finished when you step down? Shen Xin, have you thought about it? "
Of course, Shen Xin had considered this problem, but at that time, the basis of consideration was that 'Vézé would always be in power.' Now that Shen Xin had become the president of the country, the original basis of consideration had changed. Shen Xin found that he had to consider this problem comprehensively. So Shen Xin simply shook his head. "Commander-in-chief, I have never considered this problem."
"Changes in the morning, the death of the people, this is the normal state of history. You have read a lot of books, so you must know how many things have been corrupted in this way. When a ruling system can't effectively implement the policy, the next thing to do is to patch it up and then die. Do you agree with this? "Vézé asked Shen Xin.
Shen Xin nodded repeatedly. "I agree."
"So, the emphasis on the reliability of the system is that even if the person is changed, the policy can continue to be implemented. And the comrades behind can continue to complete this policy, and in the process of implementation, connect the previous and the following. Every five-year plan has to span two terms, that is the case. The failure of the five-year plan is not terrible, what is terrible is that the implementation team has no ability to carry it out, or can't be realistic in the implementation, "Vézé said. Later, he remembered many things he hated, and his face became more serious.
Shen Xin did not notice Vézé's expression at this time. Vézé's description was very simple. But for Shen Xin, it was complicated enough. Even without Vézé's ability, Shen Xin was still one of the leaders of this era. From the implementation of the country's policy, the policy-making level, there was no pressure on Shen Xin. This was because he was one of the implementers and policy-makers. However, from the perspective of the continuity of the system, from the perspective of the vitality of the system itself, Shen Xin had never tried to dabble in this level before.
After a while, Shen Xin said, "Commander-in-chief, what you said … is very difficult!"
"Shen Xin, I will definitely die. I think it is unlikely that you will live for thousands of years … "Vézé laughed.
Shen Xin immediately interrupted Vézé's words. "Commander-in-chief, I want to enjoy my money after I retire. Don't talk about thousands of years, I will retire when I reach the age. "
Ignoring Shen Xin's words of loyalty, Vézé continued, "This era is always for young people. I think that as a high-ranking official and have their own ideals, we should properly solve the problems we face at work. At the same time, we should lay the foundation for the children and leave them as much as possible with a more scientific system. Of course, after the children are in power, they will deal with it themselves. The children will have their own blessings. I am going to be 60 soon. I found that most of the misfortune in the world is the result of thinking that there is a 'definite step by step inevitability' in the world. Those smart children who are good at imitating are the most likely to suffer from this. "
Shen Xin suspected that the 'smart children who are good at imitating' Vézé was actually referring to Qi Rui. At least, Shen Xin felt that Qi Rui could indeed be described with this phrase. With such a feeling, Shen Xin decided not to touch on this issue. He replied knowingly, "Commander-in-chief, I will adjust my thinking and work hard to complete the five-year plan."
Vézé nodded. "Sitting in the position of the president, this is the work of the president. Under the president, there is the prime minister and a lot of departments. With such great power, it is to allow the president to complete the work in this area. This is our system. "
Shen Xin was very moved, but also had a funny feeling. The person with the most power in the Min dynasty was not Shen Xin, nor was it the person who had the position of the president of the country. The person with the most power in the Min dynasty was actually Vézé. As long as Vézé said a word, Shen Xin believed that countless people would immediately rush to drag Shen Xin down from the position of president. Of course, Shen Xin would never say this out loud.
After Shen Xin left, the confidential secretary gave a document with Wang Mingshan's name on the cover to Vézé. Wang Mingshan and Shen Xin were good friends. Vézé could not help but smile bitterly when he saw the envelope. Although it was not a deliberate decision by Vézé, his two sons worked under the good brothers Wang Mingshan and Shen Xin. This coincidence was too interesting.
He opened the envelope and took out the document. Wang Mingshan, the secretary of the East African administrative region, forwarded a report written by Wei Kun, the secretary of the three counties of Sudan. The report described the visit to Europe and then made three requests. First, using the geographical proximity of East Africa to Europe to establish a European research center in the East African administrative region. Second, requesting the central government to pressure the United Kingdom to dredge the Suez Canal. Third, requesting the central government to give some theoretical guidance on the development of East Africa so that the comrades in East Africa could see the past, present and future of Sudan more clearly, in order to gain the stability of the comrades.
Vézé could not help but smile. He did not expect his son to recognize the problem of the system. If a regime did not have ideas and systems, if it could not point out a clear future for everyone, it would naturally cause chaos. Any regime faced the same problem. If it was a backward system, it would be enough to have bloodline inheritance and divine authority. If it was slightly better, it would be a hypocritical idea based on 'public opinion', and the election from citizens to the people could also be carried through. But when it came to a socialist system, these fake things could not be implemented. Like countless young people in China who despised European and American democracy in the 21st century, what moved Vézé was' scientific socialism '. If something was scientific, it would naturally be different.
Therefore, Vézé did not immediately approve this document, but ran to find Uncle En. Uncle En had been in China for a few years, and after getting used to the lifestyle and eating habits of the East, he looked hale and hearty. After reading Wei Kun's document, Uncle En put down his glasses. "Sir, do you want me to help write a theoretical guidance?"
"Yes." Vézé replied. Uncle En's' Anti-Durin 'was written very well, and the other articles were also very exquisite. Vézé wanted to see Uncle En's evaluation of this' new historical era '.
"Sir. Although you are a republican, why do you want your son to inherit power? "Uncle En changed the subject.
Vézé showed a regretful expression. "It's not inheritance. I also have to prepare for the worst. If before I die, the Min dynasty cannot fully support the republic, if between continuing the socialist system and holding some bullshit election. I can only let my son be the chairman. Many times, we can only give in to reality. "
