Chapter 422: People Respect Me One Foot, I Respect People!
Behind the nascent African Union stands the Great Donghua Empire. Not long after its establishment, the www.biquge.info was recognized by the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Japan, Germany, Britain, Free France and other major powers, which made no one in the world dare to ignore this little-known new political force that was born in Africa not long ago.
Anyone with a little bit of international political acumen can see that in the current world situation in which World War II is becoming more and more intense, the fact that the AU can be recognized by the Allies and the Axis powers and send permanent representatives for the first time is obviously because the Allies and the Axis powers are optimistic about the development potential of the AU and want to draw the AU into their camp.
As for Italy, which was driven out of Africa by the African Union, it has been largely ignored by governments except for a few occasional shouts of "protest" and "vigilance" in the international community.
As the first chairman of the African Union, Ethiopian Emperor Tafari Makonam (Haile Selassie I) also experienced how it is to be respected and sought after on the international stage as a major international political force.
Before the AU was formally established, Tafari Maconnan had no idea whether the AU would be recognized in international political circles. But now, he completely understood how influential His Majesty the Jincheng Emperor of the Great Donghua Empire was in the world.
After seeing this, he completely destroyed the only trace of thought that Tafari Maconnan had in his heart.
No matter what kind of rhetoric the government uses to lure and confuse, Tafari Makangnan always keeps a clear head. Because no matter how great the power is, if you don't have life to enjoy, you are blind!
The current African People's Liberation Army (APLA) is fundamentally different from the armed forces of African countries that Tafari Maconnan once knew.
Although this army was developed by young and strong people in Africa who were trained, reorganized, and expanded by the Rock Mercenaries, Ma Kangnan knew very well that even if he was the chairman of the African Union, his influence on the powerful military force of the African People's Liberation Army would be absolutely zero.
In the process of annexing and expanding the military armed forces of the African Union member states, the African People's Liberation Army (PLA) only accepted soldiers and some junior officers. But all the officers with backgrounds were purged by the Rock Mercenaries.
In the words of Emperor Cheng, this is to strangle all unstable factors before they are budded.
Ordinary soldiers don't have any other ideas about being a soldier and fighting. They only know who is well equipped, has a high salary, gives more benefits, and who can keep their families fed, clothed, and stable, and they will work for them.
After becoming a glorious soldier of the African People's Liberation Army, the brand-new logistics support mechanism, the all-round pension system, the world-class weapons and equipment, and the powerful firepower on the battlefield as if they did not need money have made these black buddies who only knew how to fight guerrillas in the jungles and mountains deeply experience what it means to integrate sea, land and air into modern warfare.
In the African People's Liberation Army (PLA), there is no concept of ethnic tribal distinctions for a long time. Soldiers, warriors, are their only identities in the course of their service.
For this situation, Tafari Maconnan is both admired and helpless.
Although Emperor Cheng said it on the surface that it was a beautiful one, saying that he wanted to build a pure national defense army for Africa. However, the military commanders and sergeant majors of all 18 armies of the African People's Liberation Army (PLA) are all elite African fighters from the Rock Mercenaries. It is obvious that it is a gorgeous turn for the Rock Mercenaries, putting on the new vest of the African People's Liberation Army for large-scale expansion.
Moreover, with the introduction of various advanced weapons and equipment provided by Emperor Cheng to the African People's Liberation Army and the introduction of a logistics support system, the cohesion of this army has become more and more stable.
The allure and temptation of power are sometimes beyond human control.
After Tafari Makangnan became the first chairman of the African Union, he did not have the idea of breaking free from the control of Emperor Cheng.
It's just that after seeing that all the military aid promised by the Donghua Empire was in place, especially after visiting the construction of the first phase of 156 major engineering projects aided by the Donghua Empire, the Ethiopian emperor had to secretly make up his mind to be the puppet chairman and shelter Cheng Gong, the great Donghua Emperor, from the wind and rain in Africa, so as to ensure that the Ethiopian royal family and people will always enjoy a stable life of glory, prosperity, happiness and well-being.
Today, after learning that Emperor Cheng had made an unannounced visit to 19 member states of the African Union and secretly came to Addis Ababa, Ma Kangnan immediately informed his subordinates to cancel all the entertainment originally arranged for the evening. At six o'clock in the afternoon, the lightly dressed Jian Cong appeared on time at the door of the No. 95 villa that he specially prepared for Emperor Cheng.
95 means the Ninety-Five Supreme in Chinese traditional culture.
For Tafari Makangnan to be so attentive, Cheng Gong is still quite satisfied.
Since the Ethiopian emperor was so cooperative and obedient, Cheng Gong certainly had to give the other party the respect he deserved. In any case, this Haile Selassie I is also a monarch of a country.
A sumptuous but not extravagant dinner made the two emperors eat easily and happily.
After finishing his family routine at the dinner table, Cheng Gong gradually led the topic to the ongoing economic structural reform and construction of the African Union.
The standardization of social operating mechanisms is one of the important contents and goals of the new policies currently implemented by the 19 member states of the African Union.
Bringing the AU's new policy to formalization, legalization, and order from the very beginning means that the AU's economic system is moving towards internationalization from the very beginning.
Advancing to the legal system is the main content of the AU's normative reform.
The African Union has pursued a market economic system with Donghua characteristics, thus ensuring that the legal system of the African Union has since been pushed to a new stage of development. The building of the rule of law has also entered the most prosperous golden age in Africa's history.
It can be said that the framework of the legal system with the Constitution as the center and the characteristics of the African Union has basically taken shape.
The elimination of privileges and privileged strata is a non-negotiable hard target that Cheng Gong proposed to Tafari Makangnan.
Seeking prosperity has become the spirit of the new era of the African Union, the general direction and central goal of the sustainable development of the African Union, and the spiritual force that inspires and pushes the African people forward.
How to lead the people of all ethnic groups in Africa under the rule of the AU to make a fortune and become moderately prosperous is one of the important contents of the performance evaluation criteria for all government officials at all levels of the AU.
The key to achieving a moderately prosperous society in the AU lies in the rural areas. The African Union legislation stipulates that the standard for a moderately prosperous rural area is a per capita income of 5,000 non-yuan, equivalent to 1,000 Asian dollars. According to this standard, within five years, the 19 member states of the AU must meet the standard, otherwise the current AU leadership will be held accountable.
In Cheng Gong's impression, the realization of a moderately prosperous level in rural areas generally has several universal characteristics.
The first is urban radiation, which uses the city to drive the countryside and starts the rural economy with the help of the urban market;
The second characteristic is that there is no work and no wealth, and township enterprises open up a road to prosperity;
The third characteristic is that workers and peasants are developed at the same time, and workers supplement peasants;
The fourth feature is that the transportation is convenient, and the wealth is connected to the "road".
According to the results of this field visit to 19 African Union countries, the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea in North Africa, and the Indian Ocean region in East Africa are expected to achieve their basic goals in five years because of their unique natural resources and geographical advantages. The inland central region is expected to achieve the goal of moderate prosperity after entering the fifties.
It can be said that this move by the AU is equivalent to pooling more than 80 percent of Africa's natural resources to develop and build the AU's industrial base and people's livelihood economy. The oil resources of Libya and the Gulf of Guinea will undoubtedly be a powerful catalyst for the rapid industrial and economic development of the African Union.
