Chapter 290: The Führer System
So, all the people didn't dare to persuade anymore, this matter hit Yuan Shikai a lot, and it happened that Li Hui couldn't find a more suitable candidate and sent him to help the North Korean government reform and restoration, he thought that he was idle and very depressed, if it weren't for the strict discipline of the Datong Party and the pervasiveness of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and didn't dare to mess around, it would be a broken jar. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Yuan Shikai and others didn't know that the so-called Momen was a big lie at all, and the real reason why Li Hui refused to be the emperor was actually that he didn't want to be the emperor, to put it more clearly, he didn't think that being the emperor would do him any good.
Li Hui's power and prestige now surpassed that of almost all ancient emperors, and the emperor's extravagant pleasures were not attractive to Li Hui. Although Li Hui is leading an unprecedented great change, he himself is actually very nostalgic, when he was in high school, it was not uncommon for boarders to eat a bag of instant noodles as a supper at night, but like Li Hui, after finding a suitable taste, there are really few people who have never changed, for more than two years, unless he goes home on holidays, he eats the same brand of the same flavor of instant noodles every night, and he has never been tired of eating......
In addition, Li Hui has always done his own thing in his personal life without vanity, the national goddess may not be pleasing to the eye in his eyes, and the big red robe is not better than Longjing, and the three palaces and six courtyards and the Manchu and Han banquets are not attractive to him, but they make him feel annoying, not to mention those extremely cumbersome court etiquette. Li Hui, who has always preferred a simple life, feels big when he thinks about it......
Since the enjoyment that Li Hui wants is nothing more than this, and he can get it even if he is not an emperor, why bother to suffer and be an emperor who is tied to everything? And what, the throne can be passed on to future generations? Li Hui didn't want to harm them, the longest lifespan of the hereditary dynasty was only a few hundred years, and after entering modern times, it was generally short-lived, and sooner or later the dynasty would change, and at that time, what would happen to his descendants?
Moreover, there is a natural flaw in the monarchy, that is, the state is the private property of the monarch de jure law, including the ministers, and the patriotism and ownership of the people are often difficult to compare with the republican state, especially when the country is in danger. And the ancient Chinese emperor had the greatest power in law, this problem is naturally the most serious, the Qin Dynasty looks so powerful, but when it perished, even the old Qin people in Guanzhong abandoned it, why? In fact, it's very simple, the country belongs to the emperor, and he is just a wage earner, so why work hard for it? When the imperial dynasty was strong, it was okay to have the deterrence of the law, but once the authority of the imperial court was shaken and the law was difficult to be effectively enforced, it would be difficult to avoid the end of "its death was also sudden" in history.
Worse still, the emperor's unlimited power was de jure and practically impossible, because the emperor could not be omniscient and omniscient, and would have to rely on the bureaucracy after all. As a result, a situation has been formed in which the bureaucracy, whose identity is only wage earners, controls the country in fact, and once the country has problems, it is still the emperor who bears the blame, but the bureaucrats only need to change their doors in time. Such a big wrongdoer, Li Hui is not right!
Due to the absolute loyalty of the biochemical soldiers, Li Hui can ensure a firm grip on the regime even if he does not have much power in name, but Li Hui, who prefers "big government", still gives the head of state when designing the structure of the new regime (Li Hui still thinks that "head" is the best after comparing various titles such as chairman, president, president, etc., this word actually existed in ancient China, referring to the monarch, and it was not newly coined when translating Western terms in modern times, so there is no need to explain the origin. Enormous power.
Like the president of the United States, the head of state of the Chinese Republic is also the supreme commander of the entire army, and the entire military system bypasses the government and is directly accountable to the head of state, which alone eliminates the possibility of second-in-command vying for dominance. In addition to the military, a number of key departments, such as the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Propaganda, the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of Intelligence, were also under the direct authority of the Führer, further consolidating the Führer's supremacy in the country.
In addition, the Führer can theoretically be re-elected indefinitely, and as long as he does a good job, the longer he serves, the higher the prestige of the Führer, and the more stable his position will naturally be. Li Hui actually considered this for a long time, but in the end he chose not to impose a rigid limit on the number of terms, so as not to fall short due to the short term of office when major reforms were needed in the future, and anyway, it was not without other restrictions to avoid the emergence of a lifetime head of state......
The constitution of the Chinese Republic stipulates that candidates for the head of state must have a military experience no less than the brigade level and a political experience no less than that of a provincial governor, and has developed a special training mechanism for this purpose (otherwise it was easy to do in the early days of the founding of the country, and no one could meet the conditions in peacetime. )。
To put it simply, when an officer of the republic is promoted to the brigade level, he will be given a chance to choose organizationally, and if he is interested in competing for the throne of the head of state, he will arrange for him to be transferred to a poor county to become a county magistrate after the necessary short-term training, and if he does a good job and has made political achievements, he will be transferred to an advanced and developed county (equivalent to the current "region", that is, a provincial municipality including the counties and cities under its jurisdiction). If he is still doing well, he will be transferred to an important province to become a governor and become a candidate for the next head of state.
Even with such a set of processes, it is by no means easy to stand out, and those who can pass the test must be outstanding talents with all-round military and political powers, and the future head of state comes from these elites, and naturally the difference is not far behind. However, there is also an obvious loophole in this system: what if the head of state in power does not fall in love with the stack and tries to make it difficult for those who are on the training list in order to reduce competition?
Li Hui also took precautions against this, first of all, although the head of state has a lot of power, there is no trivial matter when it comes to organization and personnel, and it must go through the organizational procedures of the Datong Party. More importantly, if you want to run for the head of state, you must publicly complete the 12-minute run and meet the standards, and the incumbent head of state must be in the prime of life if he can pass this hurdle, and he can survive until the next election without being impeached and removed from office in the middle of the election, which shows that he has done a good job, and the possibility of losing to his juniors is very small, so why be a villain in vain? As for the competitors of the same generation, they must all be high-powered feudal officials at this time, unless they can catch the handle, the incumbent head of state can't do anything about them......
