Volume 13 The Moral Struggle Chapter 75 The Will of the State
Jia Ran no matter what. It is said that the year is a "critical year". Because in the tenth of the world. Not only will the United States have a presidential election, but the republic will also have a general election. However, due to the influence of the basic policies of the two countries, especially the judgment of the national decision-makers on the future situation, the general elections of the two major countries have not been shocked.
The Republican Party once again entered the White House and won the congressional election, beating the Democratic Party and the Democratic New Party to maintain its position as the largest party in Congress. There was no thrill in the general election of the republic, and Yan Jingyu was re-elected as the head of the state without any suspense with a sloppy support rate, and several national leaders nominated by him also received the support of the plenary congress.
The general elections of the two countries can basically be regarded as preparations for war.
In any case, in the event of imminent war, unless there is infighting between the interest groups of the two countries, they will try to avoid political turmoil and do everything in their power to maintain policy coherence and consistency. For example, the Republican Party in the United States was able to win the general election again, and an extremely key reason was that many interest groups that originally supported the Democratic Party turned to support the Republican Party, represented by the Iron and Steel Federation and the Bar Federation. If it's still like the year of the United Nations, that is, the Democrats are fighting with the Republicans. Then it will certainly not be the Republicans or the Democratic Party that will win the election, but the Democratic New Party, which is eyeing it from the sidelines. In fact, before the election, when the Republican Party had formed an alliance with the Democratic Party, in order to maintain the unity of American society, Duchway also publicly expressed his support for the Republican Party, so that the Republican president won the fourth consecutive election without any suspense, setting a new record since World War II. Of course. The current U.S. federal government, which was sworn in at the beginning of the year, can be seen as a "multipartisan coalition government." "Although neither the leaders of the Democratic Party nor the Democratic New Party have accepted the invitation of the Republican president to hold important positions in the federal government, some important positions that have special requirements for each other's professional ability, such as the Secretary of Defense and the Director of the Fourth Bureau, are all nominated by the Democratic Party and the Democratic New Party. As a result, opposition leaders like Duchway have a great say in this US administration.
If nothing else, Stark will be the Secretary of Defense. It will ensure that Du Qiwei has the right to speak on US national defense security and military construction.
Compared to the United States, the general elections of the republic are not so complicated.
Although in the eyes of many, Yan Jingyu's performance in the first term of office was worthy of the people's expectations of him, but when the general election approached, almost no one doubted that Yan Jingyu would once again become the head of the republic, because no one posed a threat to Yan Jingyu at that time.
In fact, Yan Jingyu's performance in the first term was not bad.
According to the evaluation of later generations, Yan Jingyu's greatest contribution was to create a foundation for the Republic to win in the war. During his first term. There are two main things that have been done, one is to finish Gu Weimin's "legacy project", and the other is to complete the political reform that Wang Yuanqing was not able to complete, to be precise, the second round of political reform. Of course. What Yan Jingyu really did well was only the first thing. As for the second round of political reforms, even the most optimistic people cannot expect to see results in the short term. Don't say anything else. In order to implement direct elections in the republic, that is, the citizens vote directly to elect the president, it will take at least two general elections, which is why it will take many years.
Of course, there is no doubt about Yan Jingyu's contribution.
According to the information released by the authorities of the Republic, the gross national product of the year of the year is the year of the smelting! irrigation, which is equivalent to an average annual growth rate of both or so. You must know that this degree is already the fastest increase in the annual cycle after the soup year. If inflation and other factors are taken into account, then the economic efficiency of the year, that is, the actual effect of economic growth, is enough to compare with the year of the strength of the mouth, and it is the most successful year of economic development in the beginning of the century.
Corresponding to the economic exhibition. It is the thriving national status and international prestige.
Although in the eyes of many people, Ji Youguo brought the republic into the "era of external expansion", and Wang Yuanqing brought the republic's external expansion to its peak, but after the recuperation of the Gu Weimin period. It wasn't until the time of Yan Jingyu that the Republic truly had global influence.
Among other things, at the end of the year, the Republic was not only known as "a major stakeholder." He also used his influence to help Nigeria become the chair of the African Union, which was also contested by the United States-backed Comeron and the European Union-backed Côte d'Ivoire South Africa because it was the previous AU chairmanship. You must know that this is the first time that the Republic has relied entirely on influence to win the number one voice in major international organizations for friendly countries. Prior to this, even in the Islamic State Organization in the Year of Medicine, the republic had not been able to help Pakistan become the most influential member state.
It can be said that this kind of benefit, which is completely dependent on influence, is the direct manifestation of national strength.
Of course, in the eyes of more people, Yan Jingyu is actually a leader who enjoys the results.
Although from an objective point of view, Yan Jingyu's greatest achievement in the year before he took office was to prepare for "direct election" and to make most citizens of the republic realize that only genuine election can make the political system of the republic more perfect, and only direct election can return power to the people. But only the female sail well political reform. It must be Wang Yuanqing who thinks of him, not Yan Jing... Ding Jingyu's contribution is no worse than Wang Yuanqing's.
In the general elections of the republic, a "mock direct election" was held. ”
According to the arrangements of the Republican authorities, the list of candidates for the President of State is determined before the general election of the General Assembly, and the general election of the General Assembly is held at the beginning of the year, and the election of the State President is held in the middle of the year, so that the name of the State is held. Citizens are voting for representatives of the regions at the same time. The national dollar will also be selected in a simulated manner. Although the results of such mock elections have no legal force and the authorities of the Republic have not announced their results, the significance of this mock election is extraordinary.
Judging from the situation at that time, because of the lack of competitors, Yan Jingyu's vote rate must have been very high.
More importantly, this mock election has determined the method of direct election, and has given the citizens of the Republic a deeper understanding of direct election.
Needless to say, this is definitely a major event in the political history of the republic.
However, what attracted more attention at that time was the results of the general election of the plenary congress.
When the election results were announced before the Spring Festival in Meng's 2nd year, even Yan Jingyu couldn't believe it. Among the seven deputies elected from all over the country, there were Feinuo's active or retired soldiers. If you count the sword-named soldiers in the central delegation. At the current plenary session, the proportion of military deputies was as high as Qi, the highest in the past. What's more, although the vast majority of these representatives are retired soldiers, their real identities are related to the military, or the military industry. And many of them were once highly decorated soldiers, such as Zhu Ronghui, who became an ace pilot as early as the East China Sea War and later retired as a naval aviation admiral, his real identity is the honorary director of AVIC Group and an honorary researcher of the Aviation Technology Research Center.
Undoubtedly, this is a very abnormal phenomenon.
Of course, there is a reasonable explanation for this. In any case, from the beginning of the field, the basic national strategy of giving priority to military construction has determined the social status of military personnel and the influence of the military industry.
Although there were still many citizens of the republic who believed that the contradictions between the republic and the United States would not rise to the level of war before the end of the year, that is, before all nuclear weapons were reduced, when the general election approached, many citizens of the republic recognized that a tough national leader and moderate foreign expansion would be more beneficial to the republic.
In terms of abundance, this also reflects the values and self-confidence of the citizens of the Republic from one side.
In any case, since the beginning of the year, the majority of the population of the republic has tasted the benefits of foreign expansion. One could even say. If there had been no external expansion between the years of occupation and the year of the code, even if the Republic had mastered the world's most advanced normal temperature conduction technology, it would have also led to an electric revolution. Nor is it possible for the republic to become a nation, and it will even be crushed apart by the growing problem of aging. In fact, even if more resources and more markets have been gained through external expansion. Between the Year of Liwu and the Year of Lishu, the economic exhibition of the Republic was not smooth, otherwise Wang Yuanqing would not have pushed Gu Weimin to the stage and let the ambitious Yan Jingyu stay in the audience for the old year. If there were still many citizens of the republic who did not understand the seriousness of the aging problem in the year of the blade stone, then in the year of Likou, when Yan Jingyu was successfully elected as the head of the country, basically all citizens of the republic knew that the real threat did not come from across the Pacific Ocean, but from within the country.
The point is that aging can make a country lose its vitality, so what kind of impact will it have on the country when the baby boom arrives one after another?
In fact, the baby boom is also part of the aging problem, or rather, there is no aging problem. There will be no baby boomers.
As with the aging period, the baby boom period is a time when the country faces a problem of making ends meet. That is, the overall burden of social support is excessive. There is only one solution to this problem, and that is to fill the gap in domestic productivity by plundering other countries by extraordinary means. In other words. It's external expansion. Not to mention the republic. Take the United States, for example. Historically, several periods of high population growth in the United States, the so-called baby boomer, have engaged in foreign wars, and all of them have won foreign wars and reaped benefits, such as the Mexican-American War, and the United States gained the current states of Southern California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. Another example is the Spanish-American War, in which the United States gained the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Guam, and established its hegemony in the Americas. The First World War, the Second World War. As well as the Vietnam War in the century of blades, the United States used foreign wars at a time of high population growth, plundering the resources and markets of other countries through external expansion, so as to maintain domestic stability.
Of course, there is a fundamental difference between baby boomers and aging.
To put it figuratively, the aging problem is like a social "demographic crisis", and the whole crisis is actually a process, that is, at the beginning of the crisis, that is, when the aging problem explodes, the social labor force shows a sharp decline, and the aging reaches the maximum when it bottoms out. With the arrival of the baby boomer. The population began to grow, and the social labor force gradually recovered, and when a reasonable structure was reached, it returned to normal. In other words, aging is the bad side of the demographic problem, and the baby boom is
In any case, the demographic situation of the republic can be restored to a reasonable state only if the baby boom is successfully passed.
As we all know, between the calendar year and the advent year. The ageing of the republic is at its peak, and with the arrival of the baby boom, social problems will ease after the new year. According to the calculation of the force year generation, before 2 years. The authorities of the republic will definitely not focus on internal reforms, but at least for a round of expansion. Because before that. The republic's status as a global power has been recognized, so according to common people's understanding, the second round of the republic's external expansion is to take away the throne of the number one hegemon from the United States.
It is precisely for this reason that, when faced with a choice, the vast majority of the republics have chosen the hard line.
The most direct manifestation of this choice was the presence of a large number of delegates with military backgrounds at the plenary congress.
Of course, the direct result of this is that Yan Jingyu was re-elected with no suspense votes in the general election last year.
At the top of the matter, Yan Jingyu was able to be elected with a high support rate, which has a lot to do with the partner he chose.
Like the comments of the Liejie, if it weren't for Yan Jingyu's choice to form a running mate with Bae Chengyi in the year, this election is likely to be a different result.
You know, given the situation at that time, the first thing that all the delegates had to consider was whether the head of the country could lead the republic to victory in the next war. Although no one doubted Yan Jingyu's tough stance, no one believed in his military talents. In any case, Yan Jingyu was not born in the military, and he did not lead the republic to a very beautiful military victory after coming to power like Wang Yuanqing, so when Yan Jingyu was chosen. On behalf of us, we will definitely consider whether Yan Jingyu's partner, that is, the vice president of the country who assists Yan Jingyu, has enough military talent. After all, before 2 four. Wang Yuanqing also assisted Zhao Rundong as the vice minister of the country and achieved a major military victory for the country.
Of course, it is not the representative who should consider this issue the most, but Yan Jingyu.
Although Yan Jingyu has enough reason to believe that in the years to come, even during the Occupy years, the initiative in the international struggle will still be in the hands of the Republic, that is, it is not up to the United States to decide when and how to go to war. It is up to the republic to have the final say, so on the question of when the world war will break out, Yan Jingyu's decision-making power must be greater than that of the President of the United States. In other words, as long as he wants, he can delay the outbreak of the Great War until after the next year, and let the next national leader deal with the United States. But for the successor cultivated by Wang Yuanqing himself. If Yan Jingyu didn't even have such a sense of responsibility. He is not eligible to become a republican yuan. In other words, as long as he wants to lead the Republic to defeat the United States during his tenure, he must choose someone who can help him command the Republican ** team to fight. And there is enough ability to lead the republican ** team to victory.
There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi is the best choice.
In the words of some Western news media. Pei Chengyi's appointment as Minister of National Defense in 2 Zhao and his appointment as Deputy Prime Minister for Security in Daokou Year are all related to Yan Jingyu. In other words, as early as the four, Yan Jingyu regarded Pei Chengyi as the most important partner, so no one would be surprised when Pei Chengyi participated in the campaign with Yan Jingyu as a partner in the mouth year.
The appointment of Pei Chengyi as vice president of the state does not mean that the republic will take the initiative to provoke war.
Not to mention Yan Jingyu, even Du Qiwei knew that on the day Pei Chengyi lived in the Vice Yuan's mansion. The chances of the republic initiating war on its own initiative have been reduced by at least half. The reason is very simple, real soldiers will cherish the lives of soldiers. There will never be a war provoked without preparation, or if it is not well prepared. There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi is a real soldier, and he is the best soldier in the world. If it is said that as long as the stakes are large enough, politicians will take risks. Then in the absence of the dawn of victory, the military commander-in-chief will certainly not take risks.
In other words, Pei Chengyi's appointment as vice minister of state in the year of his mouth and in charge of the national defense and military work of the republic is very likely to delay the outbreak of the war by several years.
At that time, even the American news media believed that there was still a chance for reconciliation between the Republic and the United States.
Of course, this perception was quickly shattered by the Republic's huge defense budget in the fiscal year, as well as the actual defense expenditure in the fiscal year.
Pei Chengyi is a real soldier. It's just that when facing the enemy, his choice is not to spend more time on preparation, but to spend more effort to complete the preparation work in advance.
It is precisely because of this that many people believe that Pei Chengyi is one of the culprits of the Third World War.
Of course, because Pei Chengyi is in charge of the national defense and military work of the republic, it is also up to him to decide whether or not the republic will accept the "Stockholm Agreement" in the next year. Although according to later declassified information, on the question of whether to sign this agreement, Yan Jingyu has long stated that the republic should not be signed before the United States. is the post-control, but judging from the situation at the time, Pei Chengyi's right to speak in this matter is likely to exceed Yan Jingyu. Of course. Pei Chengyi's choice is similar to Yan Jingyu's, and he also looks at the United States' measures first......
