Chapter 231: The Constitution and His Royal Highness the Regent
At first glance, it seems that the system of universal suffrage, which seems to be fair, fair and open, has a lot of room for maneuverability, and the rights of the general public have been reduced to a clumsy puppet show manipulated by interest groups behind the scenes. Mark Twain, a writer in the lighthouse country, once wrote vividly in a satirical novel about the farce of politics during his personal participation in the election, compared with the unscrupulous media who were good at reversing right and wrong and confusing black and white, and made insidious deeds under the instructions of the holding consortium behind them, the evil consequences caused by the manipulation of politics in the previous example can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, and the danger is not worth mentioning at all!
Luo Zhengdao is a doer, he is more willing to push things in the direction he wants than to look at the ceiling in his room, and soon, his efforts will bear fruit.
“…… At this morning's regular session, the parliamentarians went through two rounds of voting procedures, and by a two-thirds majority of votes, they formally elected Count Frügh as regent. Then I would like to congratulate you in advance, Your Excellency the Count, no, you should be called His Royal Highness the Regent. ”
For the sake of procedural justice, although all the dramas have been arranged behind the scenes, Luo Zhengdao, as a party to the incident, still has to deliberately pretend that he doesn't know what happened. It wasn't until Vena Dubov came to see him with good news that the current generation of the Earl of Froe rode in a scarlet-painted four-wheeled carriage covered with gold patterns to the Capitol Hill, where the Senate is located, to give a speech of thanks and a coronation ceremony. Although most of his subordinates thought that the ceremony should be postponed so that guests from all walks of life could be invited to watch the ceremony, this Jianyi was vetoed by Luo Zhengdao, who was reluctant to be the regent, did he have to find more audiences to watch him smear and whitewash himself on stage and play monkey, is this interesting?
"Bang Bang ......"
In the welcoming atmosphere of the parliamentarians' collective standing and thunderous applause, Luo Zhengdao slowly walked onto the podium, he raised his eyes and scanned the scene, gently put down the speech on the podium, and then said:
"Thank you for your trust and trust in me, I will fight for the recovery of the Lord 6 and the liberation of all mankind, thank you! I will redouble my efforts to serve the public and the country......"
Ten minutes later, in the noisy and jubilant atmosphere of the venue, Luo Zhengdao, who was the protagonist of this big play, had a smile on his face revealing a bit of self-deprecation.
Don't underestimate those little people, sometimes they can also decide the fate and future of the big people, which is called chasing ducks to the shelves. If it weren't for the fact that the shape was forceful, why would Luo Zhengdao stage such a self-deprecating monkey trick and show people a joke in vain. Having the title of regent on his head will not bring visible and tangible benefits to Luo Zhengdao, at most, he can mention it when he goes out to negotiate, and if people are willing to give face, it doesn't hurt to praise a few words by the way. In fact, the base area he controls is still the acre of Wake Reef, and the armed forces are just a semi-professional privateer fleet, and they will not run to him with confidence because of the so-called regent, that kind of stupid and naïve guy died early in the war years!
The hastily held coronation ceremony of the regent had a grand and warm atmosphere, but it was a pity that this scene tasted like chewing wax in Luo Zhengdao's eyes, except for an extra crown costing 3,000 gold coins on his head, which was not much different from before.
All right! The subordinates looked happy, and there were many people who were drunk and drunk, so they comforted Luo Zhengdao's heart full of grievances and unwillingness.
Even if the aftermath of the whole thing is handled smoothly, and the negative impact is pressed to a bearable range, Luo Zhengdao can't swallow the breath he is holding back. What cats and dogs dare to take Lao Tzu to steal chickens, the tiger is not powerful, you and I are he11okitty!
"Constitution? Your Highness, what is that? ”
Looking at the confused expression of Faure Chopin scratching his head, Luo Zhengdao, whose smile was full of malice, really had a sense of revenge against society, and returned to his position to prepare for a few days, preparing to settle accounts after the autumn, he turned his resentment into bad water and spewed out, and those who didn't let him get better, he didn't want to be better.
After pondering for a while, Luo Zhengdao then opened his arms, as if to hug a target that people couldn't see, and said:
"Rules, which constitute the most basic of all rules, are the cornerstone of a law."
Taking over the draft constitution from Luo Zhengdao's hand, the dense articles made Fort Chopin's head grow twice, he looked at Luo Zhengdao with a stunned expression, and said:
"Uh, Your Highness, this ...... Is the constitution to be submitted to the Senate for discussion and voting? ”
"Well, almost! It's okay to have a referendum, but I think it's better to throw it into the Senate and find something to do for those boring guys, lest they spend all day thinking about me, right? ”
Fort Chopin really couldn't understand why His Royal Highness the Prince Regent threw out such a draft constitution, but as a die-hard supporter of the Count of Furoe's family, despite his doubts, the old retainer took over the task to argue with the council, and Luo Zhengdao could wait and watch the rest of the matter.
As we all know, legislation is a necessary means to safeguard the rights and interests of vested interest groups and ensure the normal operation of society. So in order to ensure the interests of the small group they belong to, the poor and boring guys in the Senate will definitely fight chicken feathers and duck blood, similar to the scene of the whole martial arts, you can see the crooked Legislative Yuan, since Luo Zhengdao was played as a monkey, of course this tone has to find a place to vent.
If you think that Luo Zhengdao is just going to watch a monkey show, it is too underestimating his belly black Cheng dù, and the well-informed traverser will not have the kind of perverted fetish that is so dirty that he wants to hold all the power in his own hands.
The so-called unity of the majority, cracking down on a handful, this has always been the only way to stabilize the regime, no matter at what time and place to make a group of people, the final research conclusion must be that a very small number of bad people with ulterior motives instigated contradictions, blinded the majority of the masses who do not know the truth, and thus caused a strict social crisis. As a ruler, once you make your relationship with the public opposite, the end is very tragic, Silly Damu and Kadazo have already set an example, if they can really win the hearts of the people, they will have to flee for ten years like Uncle bin Laden before receiving a black shot!
Strictly speaking, the fundamental reason for the death of the above two well-known figures in the old world is that they offended the overlord of the earth, Bald Eagle, but the public opinion pressure to deal with the dictator is certainly much less than the overthrow of the democratically elected government, which is one of the main reasons why the Bald Eagle dares to kill the killer.
Chavez in South America was so openly in battle with the bald eagle, only to usher in wave after wave of assassinations and mutinies, in view of the war to invade a country, directly overthrow its government, kill the legitimate ruler, pay the huge price of this public opinion to fall into their own disadvantageous situation, even the bald eagle is not willing to bear it. Therefore, the CIA would rather use some shady tricks that are not on the table to get rid of the enemy, such as giving you some medicine to get cancer sooner rather than later. To sum up, fame is indeed a fictitious thing, but sometimes it is not an insignificant trick.
As soon as the constitutional proposal came out, it naturally stirred up a pool of spring water, and Capitol Hill, which had been staging brawls every other day, unsurprisingly turned into a pot of porridge, and this trend tossed for two months, until the proscenium approached, and the Senate was tired of tossing and turning.
Vina Dubov held a thick stack of texts on Luo Zhengdao's desk and said:
"This is a draft constitution, Will, why are you making a constitution?"
Glancing at the half-elf beauty, Luo Zhengdao quickly flipped through the text, and when he found the clause he was most concerned about, he immediately annotated it with a quill pen, and said without raising his head:
"This must be changed, human beings cannot be slaves, and free men must be forbidden to become indentured slaves because of debts."
Hearing this, Vina Dubov also forgot about her earlier question, and asked instead:
"What about those who are in debt?"
"Well, the creditor can sue in court, and if the debtor does have the ability to repay the debt, then the assets will be forcibly sold, and if the debtor is unable to repay, he will be declared bankrupt directly, and the debtor will have to serve a limited period of hard labor."
We must oppose whatever the enemy supports, and we must uphold whatever the enemy opposes. In Luo Zhengdao's view, although talking about what is correct in politics is a much-criticized cliché topic, the price of being incorrect is obviously greater. Since the Second Goblin Empire has reduced all mankind to slavery, he must clearly raise the banner of abolition, not to mention the abolition of all slaves, which is not realistic, at least to unite the common interests of all mankind, so as to ensure that his political correctness is unwavering.
At this time, Vina Dubov looked at Luo Zhengdao's expression with great interest and said:
"Will, the Senate won't approve of such a change, right?"
Luo Zhengdao sneered, waved his hand, and said with an expression as if he wanted to drive away a swarm of flies:
"I'm stating my opinion, whether they agree or disagree, that's not my problem, right?"
In this way, the items that Luo Zhengdao looked at as an eyesore were eliminated one by one, and it was not until this draft constitution generally met the moral standards of modern people that he nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Add a few articles to the back of the Constitution, no taxes, no rights, no service, no citizenship."
Vina Dubov didn't care what Luo Zhengdao did with the article, but he was interested in new terms, the New World civic noun was the earliest concept proposed by Yaling, which can be roughly equated with the meaning of a superior person or a gentleman, and it would be very novel to add a right to the end of the word citizen. The half-elf beauty played with the pen and said:
"What does citizenship mean?"
"The right to vote and to be elected, well, that is, whether or not you can participate in the election of public officials and yourself to public office."
It is quite reasonable to equate rights and obligations, Vina Dubov picked up the draft text that had been wantonly scribbled by Luo Zhengdao, and said:
"Oh, then I'll go and give the draft to the Senate."
Luo Zhengdao, who smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Okay, there's no need to urge them to vote, those guys have a lot of free time, so let them discuss it slowly."
