Chapter 024: Dissent

Pin Qin glared at Xiao Zhen's eyes! "You little. (.) Where did you learn such a hand muscle? ”

Xiao Ding laughed: "Where is the fallacy and heresy?" Auntie, you can't overwhelm people with power

Qin Qin snorted, thought for a while, and said, "According to what you said, democracy is not as good as **?" ”

Xiao Zhen laughed, shook his head and said: "The so-called democracy is neither the embodiment of the will of the majority, nor the respect for the opinions of the minority, but the granting of equal rights to everyone. But don't worry, you know what democracy is. It does not mean that democracy can be achieved immediately, because there is a big difference between understanding something and implementing it. I ask a simple question, on what basis is democracy built?

Qin Qin pouted: "This is not possible?" Separation

Xiao Zhen continued to smile slightly: "Is this answer correct?" Yes, but incomplete, because democracy is far from simple. To illustrate this point, let's go back to the previous example

"There was a guy going on a tour. Four people want to swim "and individuals want to play. Then the democratic decision is that 4 people go swimming, and one person goes to play ball, and then one person is hired to play with that bastard kid. However, you also know that if you want to solve this problem, it is not enough to have a decision, but also someone to implement this decision, so you decided to give the money to one of the four people, assuming that it was the younger one by one, and he would hire someone

"But you see, at this time, the problem comes out, Yingran, we all understand why everyone has to pay a lot of money to hire someone to play with us, but when it comes to action, not everyone has such a high consciousness. It's not that everyone is indifferent to this money, and they may think in their hearts, okay. A few of you sit back and enjoy it. Let me run around alone, don't think, don't think. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whoever doesn't take advantage is a fool

"Experience tells us that when it comes to money, it is certainly unreliable to expect someone's morality and conscience to be like the principle of American legislation: first assume that the other party is a bad person, and if everyone gives their money to a certain person, then how can we ensure that this person will definitely hire someone to play according to everyone's requirements and not enrich his own pockets? Qin Qin frowned, but Ye Yuling chuckled and said, "It's nothing more than sending another personal overseer." ”

Xiao Zhen laughed: "Yuling, you are our Chinese characteristics." Actually, if it's the United States. There is one more formality: we unanimously agreed to give the money to Xiao and let him hire someone, but wait a minute, before giving him money, Xiao must first calculate how much he should give, and then publish the number to everyone, and then hand it over to Xiao without a penny. However, if there is any other problem in the process of hiring someone, it is up to him to take charge of the review, and no one else can interfere with his review. ”

Ye Yuling sighed and said with a smile: "It's true, I forgot to announce it."

Qin Qin didn't speak, but he was a little thoughtful.

Xiao Zhen smiled and said, "Auntie, Jade Spirit." What do you think of this approach? Not bad, right? In fact, there is a name for this method, that is, the "separation of powers" we mentioned earlier is responsible for doing things, he is responsible for calculating how much money everyone should pay on behalf of the executive branch, and finally if there is a problem, the small is responsible for reviewing, and he represents the judiciary. Maybe you guys will say. It's not easy. The problem is solved. But don't be busy, think about it, if Xiao wants to steal our money, will he be so stupid as to make everyone think that he has done something? Don't forget. When we entrust our hopes to someone, they have a certain amount of power. And to be able to wield that power at will, is a terrible thing. For example, he can use everyone's money to bribe to form a majority, or simply use the money to hire a bodyguard instead of playing with the ball, so that we no longer dare to justifiably ask for the money that belongs to everyone in the face of violence. ”

Qin Qin and Ye Yuling were stunned at the same time. Ye Yuling didn't refute anything, but Qin Qin frowned and said, "Isn't this a violation?" ”

Xiao Shang laughed: "Violation? Of course. But you see, although we seem to be the first to discuss what democracy is, it may change its flavor when it is implemented, and if you think I'm alarmist, then for example, let's take a look at how Germany after the First World War went from democracy to **

"In the old years, Germany was defeated and reduced to the point of being at the mercy of the Allies.

At this time, the attitude of the Entente to what to do with Germany was different: the French, because they were close neighbors of Germany and had been invaded by Germany many times in history, insisted on weakening Germany; The British, though not opposed to this, did not want to see a declining Germany, and their policy was to maintain the balance of power of the Great 6 in Europe; As for the Americans, they were separated from Germany by a wide Atlantic Ocean, and Britain and France were in Europe with Germany so they could not feel a real threat, but the Americans realized that a country with a country with a population of 10,000 fields and a strong industrial base could not stop its revival by land or military restrictions alone, and it would absolutely not be able to guarantee the security of Europe in the future, so US President Wilson insisted on transforming Germany into a democratic and free republic in order to prevent Germany from becoming the source of war again. ”

"Small in this context, but also in order to prevent the erosion of the **, Germany in the old years. The first democratic government in history was formed, and a democratic constitution was adopted in the subsequent parliament, the Weimar Constitution. Here I would like to emphasize that the Constitution is almost as democratic as the Constitution of the United States, drawing on the experience of the democracies of the time, dividing the power of the state into three parts: Congress, the courts, and the government, and giving the Germans all kinds of basic civil rights, according to some international commentaries: "This is the most wonderful and enviable provision of this kind ever seen in the century, and it seems sufficient to guarantee the operation of an almost perfect democracy" No one in the world could be freer than the Germans, and no national government was more democratic and liberal than the German government. At least, on paper, "So you can see that the Weimar Republic of Germany at this time was a typical type of democracy, and even a daring guy like Adolf Hitler was a small thing... Choosing to legitimately run after a failed coup d'état in the beer hall: "Why did the country of workers go to dictatorship?" And how did the Germans give up their rights? Xiao Zhen's appearance is still so gentle and elegant. It's just that Qin Qin suddenly appeared, no matter how he looks at it, his nephew has a bit of potential to be a god.

However, Ye Yuling listened to it with relish, Qin Qin naturally knew something about Nazi Germany, but she didn't pay attention to the too specific situation, after all, women are naturally more eager for military politics than men.

So Xiao Zhen continued to popularize history education: "One night in the early spring of Yo year, to be precise, the key knife was divided into the night and night, and the sky was clear in the capital of Germany. The air is fresh. There was no sign of a murder in the dark at night, even though it was destined to go down in history on this day.1 A seminary student was returning home from school and passing by the Capitol when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking glass in the building, and then saw a black shadow rushing out. Still holding a torch in his hand, he was taken aback and immediately ran to call the police. At this time, the four most powerful people in Germany were President Hindenburg, Chancellor Hitler, Vice Chancellor Papen, and Propaganda Minister Goebbels. He was having dinner at the aristocratic club opposite the Reichstag, when Goebbels first received a call from the police, saying that the building was on fire, but Goebbels thought it was a joke and didn't believe it at all, he didn't even mention a word to Hitler, but Papen saw the fire and immediately told Hindenburg, and at the same time, Goebbels also began to feel that something was wrong, because someone was shouting on the street, and then he made several phone calls to verify. Convinced that the Reichstag was indeed on fire, he and Hitler immediately rushed to the scene. As soon as you arrive at the scene. Hitler immediately announced that a fire was set off, at this time. Goering, the speaker of the German Reichstag, Papen, the deputy Chancellor, and the head of the political police of the Prussian Ministry of the Interior, Choles, were all the heads of the secret police.

Goering was a little unusually excited. The gambling swear is that this is a crime against the government. Although Papen was not a Nazi. But he did not express the slightest doubt about the conclusions of Hitler and Goering. Only Chels said honestly. The arsonist has been caught, he doesn't see any connection with **, that guy is just a madman. This was not the answer Hitler wanted, he was furious, scolded the **, and then ran to convene an emergency meeting of the Cabinet. And Goering went to the official Prussian newspaper. The reporter who wrote the story was asked to raise the fire-burning materials brought by the arsonist from the fierce pound to the loud one. But the reporter was a bit of journalistic independence, and he refused to say how a person could resist. What about Lu's stuff? He couldn't write such a joke, and Goering immediately retorted, why did he say that he did it alone? Isn't the old one enough? You must know that this is a conspiracy! The journalist asked Göring to sign the report, because it was no longer a news report but a political document. Goering was really a little empty in his heart, although he had been planning for a long time, but at this time, after all, Hitler had not yet obtained the majority of the milk in the Reichstag, nor had he been given the right to vote in the cabinet, and he could not afford to blatantly destroy the constitution, but the matter had come to this point, and it would not be possible not to sign. So he slyly drew a big word on the report, which was the first letter of Goering's name.

I said that Goering "has been planning this for a long time", what is going on? In fact, the arsonist's name is Vander, Lub, and he is a Dutch international **, but he neither likes the Nazis, nor does he have a good impression of Moscow, and he is a simple-minded "patriotic young man, who can be used in modern Chinese, and is angry." Instead of one, he felt. The German Revolution could only explode under the impetus of some astonishing historical event, and he wanted to wake up the insensitive Germans with the raging flames of the Reichstag. But. This poor unfortunate bastard didn't know that Hitler had long hoped that the **man would do something stupid so that he could find an excuse to purge dissidents, and that this brainless arsonist was simply a gift from God to the Nazis. Hitler, Goering, and perhaps Goebbels. Knowing that Luble was going to set fire to the Reichstag, they arranged for Nazi stormtroopers to quietly lurk in the Reichstag, waiting for the building to burn and then add some fuel to it. Of course, the play will be smashed.

By the time the Cabinet meeting was convened, Hitler trumpeted the seriousness of the incident. Trying their best to attack the ** people, although the Nazis did not account for the majority in the cabinet, everyone was confused by Hitler's extremely inflammatory rhetoric, both nervous and frightened, for fear of the explosion of the ** revolution, and almost without much thought, they unanimously adopted Hitler's demands, and as a result, the song of burying democracy was blown all at once.

So, what did Hitler demand? As funny as it sounds, does it seem a little ridiculous that he is asking for some kind of measure to protect the "literature of German citizens"? Don't worry. The point is that "some kind of measure" Hitler demanded. The German government has the power to restrict individual liberties and freedom of expression, including freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of association. It has the right to inspect citizens' mail, telephone, and telegram. The right to issue a permit to the police to search a citizen's home, the right to confiscate a citizen's private property, and the right to impose the death penalty on a citizen who possesses a weapon. Even the government could take over the autonomy of the German states if necessary

Looking at Qin Qin, who was a little stunned, Xiao Zhen smiled. He knows what his aunt is capable of in the financial field. But in terms of history and politics, how can my aunt be her opponent as a semi-professional? He smiled and continued, "You can't laugh now, right?" In any case, Hitler finally got the cabinet mandate he had always dreamed of, and the next step was to consider how to make it effective. According to the German Constitution. Want to pass a law or policy that contradicts the Constitution itself. A majority of votes must be obtained. But Hitler was well aware that his Nazi Party could not get 3 seats in the Reichstag. And for the other parties to approve or not. He wasn't sure at all, therefore. He slyly took a shortcut.

What is this shortcut? That is, Article 1 of the German Constitution stipulates that the president can exercise temporary dictatorship in times of national emergency. This would have been designed to cope with war or revolution. But the constitution does not explain in detail what the so-called "state of emergency should be", so Hitler made very clever use of these three "... As far as the president, he demanded that the latter exercise the dictatorship conferred by positive law. around the heart of the country" to discuss his bill. The President of Germany at this time. It was the old hero of the last war, Hindenburg, a conservative, upright old Prussian officer, who looked down on Hitler and the National Socialist Party he led, but Hindenburg also knew very well that in any case, the National Socialist Party was the largest party at that time, as president, he believed in the choice of the German people, and was obliged to support his chancellor, although he probably didn't know what he was supporting at all—Hitler said to Hindenburg, in order to prevent the revolution. The passage of the bill was necessary, and he promised not to abuse this power, so Hindenburg said nothing more and signed it. At this point, the door to dictatorship was opened. Hitler exploited a vague loophole in the German constitution. Firmly holding the president's dictatorship in his own hands, he began a brutal and bloody political purge

Qin Qin knew that Hitler was a great dictator, but he did not know the specific process of his monopoly of power. After listening to Xiao Ding's words, he sighed: "Hitler" is really powerful

Xiao Ding smiled and continued: "Hitler first took Germany **. A large number of ** people have been arrested, please note. It was "legal, and the arrests included even exempt members of Congress, groups of stormtroopers in brown shirts broke into the doors without permission, forcibly searched them, dragged innocent people out of their sleep, threw them into the barracks of the SA, tortured them, and forced them to confess their crimes against Germany." Meanwhile. Hitler for his rivals. The Social Democrats and other liberal parties showed no mercy, with rallies being stopped, newspapers and magazines banned, and civil rights revoked, giving Germany its first taste of Nazi dictatorship.

After just a few days of violent terror. German politics has changed beyond recognition, and citizens no longer dare to talk about politics casually, dare not mock the ugliness and crimes of the National Socialist Party in public, for fear that one day they will be arrested inexplicably if they go out on the street.

Hitler, however, was not satisfied with this. He didn't want to live under the temporary dictatorship granted by the president. He wanted to become Germany's veritable ruler, and because he believed that after a few days of purges, the opposition should have died down, and the time was ripe for a new general election to gain a majority in the Reichstag, so he held Germany's last national election before World War II on March of the year of the duck.

But. To Hitler's great disappointment, his National Socialist Party did not receive a sufficient majority, despite all the promises, terror and threats of violence. Although the Nazis were ahead with thousands of votes, more than twice as many as the second-largest party, the Social Democrats, they accounted for only one of the total votes. It's okay to form a coalition government, but it's still far from a 3 majority.

It is worth noting. Hitler did not intend to use illegal means to achieve his own ends, he wanted to put on a veneer of legitimacy for his dictatorship. Therefore. Hitler did not deny the election. Or just do it all over again. He acknowledged the authenticity of the election, and he wasn't going to get that damn 3 majority again. But. If there was no majority in the Fly 3, how could Hitler amend the Constitution? In desperation. He had no choice but to turn to the democratic parties, which have a majority in Congress, to trust him and give him dictatorial powers

At this point, Ye Yuling couldn't help but be stunned, and Qin Qin's eyes widened even more: "Hitler is crazy? Isn't this a game of tigers? Are those democratic parties stupid? Give him dictatorial powers? Hah".

Xiao Zhen smiled mysteriously and nodded: "Not bad." Many people who read history and see this section will think, why is Hitler so naïve that he actually wants others to approve of his dictatorship? How can those democratic parties, which have a majority of seats, be so stupid as to bury their own political lives? But Auntie. I have to tell you, things are so ridiculous, it's all true, Hitler in the new Reichstag. In perhaps the most brilliant and hypocritical speech of his life, he promised that all the old order would remain unchanged, that the dictatorship conferred upon him by the Reichstag, applied only to certain narrow and specific areas, would never lead to a change in the power structure of the state, nor would he restrict any civil rights, and that his sole purpose would be to lead Germany to re-establish its place in the world after the First World War. Hitler in his speech. It was not difficult to stir up strong nationalist sentiment among the Germans, both to Hitler and to the Germans, and he called on all Germans to "get rid of selfish partisanship." To unite in national consciousness and to build a united Germany that is proudly free"

Almost all the democratic parties were struck by Hitler's rhetoric, the characteristic bullying spirit of the Germans, and their devotion to honor, to "iron and blood." The fervent desire led them to sign their death verdict. The National Assembly unanimously agreed to transfer its legislative powers to the Government for a period of four years. These members of Congress, who have been soaked in democracy for a long time, don't seem to understand it. Once you've planted the seeds of dictatorship. It will spread uncontrolled like a terrible plague, not to mention four years, even a few days will be enough to destroy a sound democracy.

It is worth mentioning that not all parties in the Reichstag were bewitched by Hitler, and the leader of the Social Democrats, the venerable Otto Wells MP, stood up against Hitler's dictatorship with unyielding courage, and he voted against it on behalf of his party, which he solemnly declared. "At this historic moment. We, the German Social Democrats, solemnly pledge to uphold humanity and the principles of justice, freedom and socialism. No enabling law can give you the power to destroy eternal, indestructible minds! ”

Xiao Ding's voice was a little lower: "Let's remember this person, this name, and this declaration." Although the Social Democrats had only one seat in parliament, they were nowhere near as much as the number of votes cast in favour. Although their opposition is insignificant in the big picture. But even in such a dark moment, we can still see the brilliant sparks that burst into those flashes.

In March of the usual year, Adolf Hitler, a homeless man from Austria and a former corporal of the German 6th Army, followed a completely constitutional procedure. Having destroyed democracy and becoming the dictator of all Germany, with no more power to restrain his madness, Germany began history

Now, let's pause and think about why Hitler's policy of terror was supported by the Germans. yes, isn't that weird? In a democratic society, why does a great dictator like Hitler arise? I think that maybe I can find a less formal answer in the science fiction book "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes"-When the people of the Free Planets Alliance talk about Rudolph, they always describe him as "an evil dictator", and the young man listens to it, and he can't help but wonder in his heart: if Rudolph is really a heinous demon, why do people still support him and give him supreme power? "Rudolph is a real villain! The people just dare to be angry and dare not speak! "Why do the people dare to be angry and not speak out? "I told you! Because Rudolph is a big badass! ,

This answer could not convince the teenager. However, my father's opinion is a little different from that of ordinary people. His answer to his son was, "Because the people are lazy!" "Fun or bad work?" In this way, when people encounter problems, they do not want to rely on their own energy and mind to solve them, they only expect people or sages to appear and bear all the pain, difficulties and obligations for them. Rudolph seized this weakness of human nature, waited for an opportunity, and became famous in one fell swoop. You have to remember that whoever gives the dictator a chance is more responsible than the dictator himself! Although the silent bystanders did not support him, the silent bystanders were actually guilty of supporting him

I have often wondered why the Germans showed a staggering ignorance and disregard for their rights at a critical juncture in history. Didn't they know that they were helping Hitler sharpen the knife that was going to slaughter them? Are they so adoring authority that none of them are even willing to think even the simplest of Hitler's demands? Blind obedience and iron discipline were deeply embedded in the German blood. So much so that even the most perfect democracies are helpless? Maybe. For the ordinary German masses, who had an absolute majority in the elections, they chose Hitler simply because they did not want "freedom to starve", in a familiar phrase, whether he was democratic or not, and who could give us a good life. Indeed, in the first four years of Hitler's rule, the German economy miraculously revitalized, and by the end of the year, Germany's gross domestic product had increased by the European Union, with an annual growth rate of as high as double, and the national income had doubled, but the unemployment rate had shrunk to the point of not being happy. The old men of history are sitting quietly in the future, waiting to demand from them "a good life, a reward, an unprecedented huge reward."

In this regard, the famous re-historian William. Scheiler once commented: "No class, group, or party in Germany can evade its share of responsibility for the renunciation of the Democratic Republic and the rise of Adolf Hitler"

Through this example of Germany, I think we should clearly understand that democracy is absolutely not enough to be built on paper, and when people are as crazy as the German people under Hitler, they will forget everything on paper, and willingly follow an illusion that can satisfy their wishes, and even smash democracy for this purpose, and the Weimar Republic is not without "separation of powers." But the Germans ended up burying democracy with their own hands.

So, what is missing from the hapless Weimar Republic? Where is its democracy imperfect? If we don't want that little kid with a crooked head to swallow our money. What else needs to be done?

After Qi Zhen finished speaking, he didn't continue, just looked at Qin Qin with a smile.

Although Qin Qin's knowledge of political history is not as good as Xiao Yuan's, she is the leader of a consortium. At least have a deep understanding of the current political structure. She suddenly thought of the analysis of Huaxia by some American think tanks, and suddenly laughed: "Bread and free choice, right?"

Xiao Zhen took a sip of mineral water, but did not speak.

Qin Qin pursed his lips and smiled a little disdainfully: "In the world economic crisis, Germany has embarked on the road of dictatorship, but the United States has not, bread and freedom are not a single choice question." But now Huaxia is under the control of your **, "chosen, bread" Am I right?

Xiao Ding shook his head: "In this way, it is a bit extreme."

Qin Qin snorted and said, "Looking at the current political situation in China, we can see three raging fires: the bureaucratic interest groups are burning with desire, and the public is furious. Political leaders are in a hurry. The Chinese leadership that was attacked from both sides. Although he nominally holds the supreme power, he is in a dilemma and cannot find a place to focus at all. If the fire of the masses is extinguished, the fire of the bureaucracy will be even hotter. and eventually drag themselves into the water; Extinguish the fire of the bureaucracy. The big boss broke his hands and feet and cut his wings. In the face of such a predicament, the Chinese political leaders could not draw their salaries. I had to be satisfied with the constant soup to stop the boiling therapy. Aside from an "economic miracle" that is gradually changing color and may completely change color at any time, I think the only legacy that Gu Banglan can inherit from Jiang Enguo in three years is a powerful bureaucracy. Other than that, there is nothing long. The bureaucracy, as the only ruling force and governing tool of China's political leaders, must rely on it now and Gu Banglan in the future. The so-called Jiang Gui Gu Sui is not Gu to follow, but Gu has to follow. However. This bureaucratic system that once created the myth of Taguchi in China. In the transformation of the force over the years, it will gradually accumulate a huge self-destructive force. According to the view of some think tanks in the United States, China's political leaders must be highly vigilant against this ever-expanding structural self-detonation force. And quickly dismantle its fuse to avoid self-detonation. The top priority is. It is necessary to build a small firewall between the legitimacy of the bureaucracy and the legitimacy of the leaders to prevent the fire from spreading to the top and causing the entire structure of order to collapse simultaneously, and at the same time, it is necessary to rebuild the grassroots order of Chinese society through grassroots democracy and autonomy in order to dispel the bubble expansion of the power of the bureaucracy. Otherwise, once the power bubble of the bureaucracy bursts because it has expanded to the limit, it may blow up the order at the bottom and the top at the same time, and sink the whole thing

Xiao Ke's face changed slightly, but he didn't speak.

Qin Qin can't talk about Xiao Zhen on historical issues, but he is very familiar with realpolitik, and he can be described as a torch. Seeing that Xiao Zhen didn't answer, he smiled coldly: "Fortunately." There is a time lag between the full-fledged crisis of legitimacy of the Chinese bureaucracy and the crisis of legitimacy of the Chinese political leaders. In the popular political culture of China, there has always been a tradition of "anti-corrupt officials are not anti-emperor, that is, corrupt officials are bad." But the emperor was good. This political culture is embodied today. It is a well-known complaint: "If the policy at the top is good, the implementation at the bottom is out of shape", and the people treat the top and bureaucracy differently. Although not entirely true, it unexpectedly protects the legitimacy of China's political leaders. The current China. The bureaucracy is already in a full-blown crisis of legitimacy, but the protective membrane of traditional political culture still fully defends the legitimacy of the supreme power. For China's political leaders, this is an extremely precious time lag given to them by history, and the opportunity cannot be lost. The next few years or more will be a crucial period for whether the new generation of Chinese political leaders can shake off the inertia of the system and create miracles, and it will also be an important window of time for observing the trend of Chinese history

Xiao Zhen still closed his lips tightly, and he didn't mean to speak at all. Ye Yuling listened in horror, how could she have heard such a direct analysis in China, and analyzed the political pattern of China so bluntly! Regardless of right or wrong. Just such a straightforward analysis, I am afraid that at home it is a crime of "talking about state affairs in vain"! Especially with the particularity of Xiao Zhen's identity, Ye Yuling was even a little worried.

Yes, Qin Qin's analysis at least sounded reasonable, but Ye Yuling couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zhen, who seemed to be calm, and was slightly curious in his heart: What class of people is Xiao Ding? Bureaucratic interests? Public Interest Money Table? Or a political leader?

Qin Qin didn't care what Xiao Zhen thought, nor did he care that he was silent, and he wasn't worried about what Ye Yu Xiaoling would think, he just smiled and continued: Xiaoding, do you know what is the current mainstream view of the American think tank team? ”

Xiao Zhen smiled calmly. Shaking his head:. I don't know. ”

Qin Qin looked him directly into the eyes: "The mainstream view of the American think tank team is that due to historical persecution, the probability of a major turning point in China in the Gu Banglan era is quite high. But there are signs that they do worry that Chinese politics is gradually losing the conditions for a peaceful political transition. The experience of all reforms shows that when reform is forced, it is always when the leaders are most vulnerable, when the interest groups are the most frenzied, and when the people are the most violent.

All visions, blurred and clear. It's all gathered today. What kind of future will China face? ”

"China's leadership is usually not lacking in political wisdom." Xiao Zhen replied softly. It was as if he had answered something, but it was as if he had said nothing.

Qin Qin didn't take it seriously, and laughed: "Huaxia's current method is to continue to "make the cake bigger", on the one hand, the bureaucratic Ligai group can get the lion's share of this cake, and on the other hand, the general public can also eat a little, and eat more or less better than before without starving, "This is the foundation for you to maintain your rule." For the sake of this cake, what the Chinese people want to give up is freedom. However, China has had its old days since it embraced the idea of democracy. Over the years, democracy has not only become the cultural subconscious of elites. It has also become a kind of cultural subconscious of the public. This addiction must be lived. When the general public feels that democracy is a value and a kind of good, democracy becomes the so-called historical trend. The general trend of history. If we don't let people get into this addiction to democracy, they will be going against the tide of history. Economic development can delay democratization, but it can never replace democratization, because they are two completely different values. It's like stocks, "Anyone who has played with stocks knows how hard it can be to go against the trend." Regardless of whether this "potential" is rational or not, and no matter how outstanding the operator is, the contrarian operation will break the head. The "potential" of democracy has been accumulating in China for a hundred years, and its strength must be fierce. Therefore, no matter how big the risks of democracy are, in the future, you can only follow the trend and guide this, "potential," to a controllable range. Rather than delaying the opportunity for other potential power contenders to take advantage of it. The risk of going against the market can be much greater than the risk of going with the trend. In this regard, after the end of the Jiang Enguo era, the Gu Banglan era may be a critical transitional stage in which the supreme power in China approaches some kind of regular change with democratic characteristics. small

Xiao Yin smiled slightly: "It seems that we want to thank the Americans for their concern He looked straight and said: "But as we said before, no matter in any era, the smaller the government's actions, the better, and China wants to reform, this is the unswerving consensus of our party, but this reform cannot be another national movement." Because that would cause severe upheaval, and could even wipe out decades of economic development overnight. Therefore, we must reform, but we also want stability, the opportunity for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is appearing in front of us, I think that at this time, we can neither let go of the opportunity, nor can we advance lightly. The Central Committee says that "stability is the first premise", and the Americans say that this is said in order to maintain their own rule, but in fact this is a typical political slander. Stability certainly consolidates our party's leadership in China, but is it not the need of the whole Chinese nation? ”

Qin Qin smiled lightly: "Forget it." It is a question of chicken or egg, we feel that the will of the state is the will of the people first, and the will of the people is the will of the people to improve their living conditions; But Huaxia now thinks that the wealth of the country should be the first. Then there was Minqiang, "This question is still left to you politicians, what's the point of me telling you so much?" I just have to make money

Xiao Zhen laughed: "To be honest, Xinlan set up its Asian headquarters in Wucheng, I really think it's a wise choice." "Of course, do you think that because you are a secretary there, I will run to lose money and make money for you?" Qin Qin gave him a hygienic eye.

Xiao Ji and Ye Yuling laughed together.
