Chapter 476: General Election [Three Watches]
At the end of May, An Feng finished handling the matter in the United States.
Next month is the parliamentary elections in Sardinia, and they will have a lot to do, so take all their luggage and happy children who don't have to go to school, and say goodbye to California.
"Let's go to the beach!" Alice runs on the grass with a toy airplane.
Joanna extinguished the little girl's joy: "When you get there, hurry up and ask the governess for advice, and master the trick of being a princess." ”
"Oh no!" Alice pouted, the princess's addiction had passed, and in the face of that complicated etiquette, her cute little brow kept wrinkling.
"Mom." Fred met his mother's smile, "Am I a prince?" ”
"Of course you are, dear." Joanna crouched in front of him - her squats were also exquisite, and anti-walking was naturally a must for any woman, except that she could not bend over, and the queen's waist pole had to be straight, especially in public.
She helped Fred fix his hair, and the child's hair was longer, which was a bad taste of his father, he had seen Roger's son Edward before, and the little guy's big back was too handsome, and he also asked the designer to make a long hair specifically for Fred, and his hair color was lighter, which was very suitable.
An Feng grabbed two ropes and came over, and the two Welsh corgis were very noisy: "Alice, come and take care of your pet!" ”
"Got it!" Alice ran to get the rope.
"What else is left, boys?" An Feng looked at the two children, "After the plane takes off, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back until next year." ”
"It's gone!" Alice didn't want to.
"Okay, let's go!" An Feng touched the heads of the two guys, said goodbye to the little friends who came to see them off, and left them some time.
Finally, at Santa Barbara Airport, the cargo is delivered to the transport plane, and the people and pets are put on the business jet. Fly to Los Angeles. After landing, I transferred to the "Queen's plane" that had been waiting for a long time, and the specially customized Boeing 747 livery had already been completed, and it was very beautiful when viewed from a distance.
Stepping on the stairs to the cabin, the two children quickly forgot the sadness of Jì and their friends, and ran around the plane curiously. Finally grabbed the most lively Alice, pressed her to the seat, buckled the seat belt, An Feng said to her: "Play after takeoff!" ”
"Yes, Daddy!" Alice learned the soldier's tone.
……
Arrived in Sardinia in the evening, ready to land at the military airfield.
The local airport in Cagliari could theoretically land a Boeing 747, but if you want to take off, the safe distance is not enough. The airport designers did not consider large passenger aircraft, so they had to turn to the runway of Ann Industries. Dezimomanu is a former air base, and the runway is naturally long enough.
When the plane landed, An Feng and Joanna were discussing the construction of an international airport in the suburbs, with a runway of at least 3.5 kilometers or more, and the construction of one and the reservation of open space to meet future development needs. They are confident about the future. Sardinia must be the most developed country.
……
As we approach June, newspapers, television and the Internet are discussing the election.
It was the country's first parliamentary election. The first real government will be formed, and there will be discussions about their governing program, the direction of their future development, the question of national defense, or issues concerning the vital interests of the masses. This is also the focus of parliamentarians to win the hearts and minds of the people.
There are a total of eight constituencies in Sardinia. According to the bill signed by the Queen, there will be 35 senators and 50 members of the House of Representatives, which is a bit small, but relatively suitable for a population of 1.5 million. The party with the majority in the House of Representatives will be the ruling party. The head of the party becomes the prime minister of the government.
This is similar to other constitutional monarchies.
The Queen was also concerned about the current situation of the country's two political parties and knew about the country's politics, but she herself did not have time to collect it slowly, and this was done by Ms. Roberts in her place. For now, Roberts feels like the first squire by the queen's side, sharing a lot of work.
An Feng was more leisurely, and he went to check all kinds of plans.
A month ago, two 200,000-ton cargo ships from Australia had docked, several major overseas bases had been largely emptied, and the number of various aircraft in Ann's Industries reached 42,000, with 2,000 units in human form, and the rest for specialized purposes.
Hal IV has modified the program to update the information on industrial buildings.
This group of Jiqì people, who were originally used in the military, are now part-time "construction workers". There are many places where they need to be started, such as the large nuclear power plant on the southern peninsula, the Moncalieri Palace in Cagliari, the new parliament building, the school, and another royal residence on the eastern coast.
There are also construction projects in the north, which require office buildings, but they are the work of construction companies.
In order to harmonize with the overall style of the city, the building does not take the skyscrapers of the New York metropolis, but has a similar style, in a baroque, neoclassical mood, usually not high, but wide. An Feng has seen the architectural renderings, which are very close to the original city.
The current shortage of materials is also being signed with new suppliers.
The first to start construction were the nuclear power plant and the Imperial Palace, where machines and printers were started at the same time, and buildings were not all printed by machines, and flexible machines and people could replace human work, or even better, because they could have many hands, while humans had only two hands; They can work 24 hours a day, tirelessly, and at best recharge, while humans obviously can't do a never-ending job.
Eve promised that as long as there were enough building materials, she would be able to exert more than ten times more efficiency than humans, and nearly 10,000 people of various purpose machines would start working according to the designer's ideas, which is indeed not comparable to human efficiency. And it's almost no worse than cuò, down to the micron level.
Twenty thousand units of machines are in operation.
An Feng can rest assured that he is a supervisor, and like the designer, he will take a few glances on time to ensure the correct progress of the project.
In early June, the Queen announced the start of the parliamentary elections.
Residents around the world have also begun to vote according to their constituencies and choose their favorite councillors. Senators and House of Representatives are elected in the same way, and it is estimated that the selection of senators will have to be rectified in the future, but for now, it is simple and the easiest way to do it. The voting period is seven days.
After a week, it began to enter the busy statistical phase.
The results are available at the end of the month. The House of Representatives, which received the most attention, turned out to be 40 seats for the Liberal Party and 10 seats for the People's Party. The Liberal Party was undoubtedly elected to the current ruling party. Mancini became prime minister for a five-year term. After the fourth year, there is the right to apply to the Queen for the dissolution of Parliament.
How to understand it? In fact, it is to look at the political performance in four years, if the political performance is very good and the timing is right. The prime minister will certainly take the opportunity to dissolve parliament and call for a popular vote. Therefore, this model will keep the political party in a state of conscientiousness and maintain a good performance at all times.
In the Senate, the Liberal Party also has the upper hand.
It can be said that the original party has accumulated a lot of prestige in the hearts of the local people.
The TV interview gave the reason that the residents believed that the promotion of independence, the acceptance of a constitutional monarchy, and the recognition of Joanna's monarchy were the credit of the Liberal Party.
The result was that the Liberals stained the Queen's light.
After the election results are in. The Queen will first appoint the Prime Minister and the list of Cabinet Ministers submitted by her, and then set for the opening of Parliament on July 10, when the Queen will preside over the meeting and read out the new Government's governing programme, legislation and work direction.
There are quite a lot of things, and before the queen appointed the prime minister and his cabinet, An Feng found time to talk to Mancini.
Obviously, this kind of heart-to-heart conversation is not a matter of course.
Let An Feng come forward. There is also exquisiteness. When the queen comes forward, the conversation is more inclined to ...... Command. Although it is a constitutional monarchy. But looking at the Queen's popularity now, her words are more effective than anyone else, and the voters almost listen to her. So she came to talk, and the current environment was not suitable.
When An Feng comes to talk, he is more inclined to be informal.
In fact, the royal family is also quite tired...... An Feng and Mancini walked on the lawn outside the hotel, talking about political parties and the party.
Mancini was also clear about An Feng's purpose. He represents the royal family and the consortium that supports Sardinia behind the scenes.
Mancini greeted: "How are the two children doing, Your Highness?" ”
"It's okay, it's very adaptable to the environment here." An Feng put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sea, "This is a good place." They all love it. ”
"The climate on the island is very pleasant, it's very livable, and the economy is perfect again," Mancini said. ”
"You're right." An Feng nodded, "From the moment I chose it, I regarded it as an ideal place to shelter and enjoy a long time. I myself have high expectations for this place, and I want to build it into a rich country that meets my ideals, can you understand this mentality? ”
"It's like watching your own child grow up in the direction you want it to be." "As a parent, you have to put a lot of effort into it. I can understand His Highness's ideals, I also had a young moment, but the environment is limited and does not allow this. ”
An Feng looked at him: "It seems that we have the same opinion." ”
"From the moment I swore allegiance to the Queen, there was a consensus of opinion from the point of view of serving the country," Mancini said. ”
An Feng nodded: "I hope that we can reach a consensus on important matters in the future." I admit that I am a bit of a perfectionist and like things to go in the desired direction, and I will inevitably get incomprehension and even opposition to opinions, and I hope my husband will understand. ”
"Contributing to the country is admirable, and we embrace it," Mancini said. ”
An Feng stopped and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Mancini, I find it easy and pleasant to talk to you, bless the country!" ”
"Bless the Queen!" Mancini shook hands with him.
The two of them continued to talk and laugh, but the conversation had shifted to a more relaxed aspect.
An Feng's interview with Mancini is nothing more than a test of the other party's bottom line. In the future, it is impossible for the royal family not to interfere, after all, this is the key first step, if you meet a stubborn guy who adheres to the principle of obsolescence, the royal family will also establish its own attitude and support.
Now the prestige of the government in the hearts of the masses is not as good as the queen, she is the core of the whole country, once she is dissatisfied with the government, judging by the support of the people, even if she recalls the prime minister and dissolves the parliament, she will not be opposed. But it was smooth, and Mancini's choice was wise.
In his opinion, there is no choice here, if you want to develop, apart from the royal family, what else is there to have this ability?
Therefore, cooperating with the actions of the royal family is the key link for them to achieve political achievements and the good development of the country, and no one will be unable to get along with the queen on this point. (To be continued......)
