After the establishment of the Australian Republic, the relevant government institutions have also been improved, especially the parliament reorganized from the Executive Committee Committee, which has changed from the original seven members to the current fifteen members.

On the first day of the Parliament's establishment, several newly elected deputies submitted a proposal to withdraw some of the rights of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

The proposal clearly mentions the right to wage war in the hands of foreign trade, and the right to negotiate with other countries on behalf of the government, the most important of which is that the Ministry of Foreign Trade monopolizes the import and export business of the entire Australia, which has seriously affected Australia's economic development.

In order for the government to have more control, the government should take back the right to wage war and deploy colonial forces from foreign trade.

In the conference room, the newly elected conservative representative of the parliament, Shi Qing, read the proposal with a righteous face.

And Zhao Shijie, who was sitting opposite him and was also a member of the parliament, his face was already dark at this time, if it wasn't for his cultivation being too good, I am afraid that he would have jumped up and argued with him a long time ago, where would it be his turn to keep talking.

For example, the Guangzhou Office in Guangdong should be legally attributed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At that time, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yi Qing knew about this and proposed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come forward to invite these people, so as to continuously increase the popularity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs abroad.

But at that time, it was directly vetoed by Zhao Shijie, on the grounds that it was too complicated, this matter was originally related to import and export trade, and it was not the establishment of diplomatic relations or anything, so there was no need for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come forward.

In fact, Zhao Shijie knows that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to replace some of the rights in the hands of foreign trade, such as the right to allocate import and export goods, which is firmly in the hands of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

For the conservative Zhiqing, he represents the conservative faction of the state-owned faction, and obviously does not want such a power to be held by one department.

Yan Qing was still standing there and talking, Zhao Shijie didn't have the heart to listen to what he said, but thought about how to deal with him.

Finally, after a few minutes, Yan Qing finally finished speaking and regained his position.

Huang Lao, who was newly elected as the speaker of the parliament, looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Shijie, obviously asking what he meant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I oppose the proposal of the parliamentarians, although I am the minister of foreign trade, but from the interests of Australia, our rights are not too big, in the view of the Ministry of Foreign Trade because some institutions have been stripped out, but there is a serious decline in efficiency, so I think that if we want to continue to expand Australia's economic influence and export trade in Daming, we must maintain the existing rights of foreign trade, otherwise a matter will be approved by multiple departments will seriously affect the success or failure of the event."

"In addition, I think that the Ministry of Foreign Trade is actually doing things that are really within its scope, everything is related to foreign trade, and there is nothing beyond its authority."

"I'm afraid that's not the case, Minister Zhao, your people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade have directly replaced the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has directly led to the fact that others abroad only know that there is a Ministry of Foreign Trade in Australia and don't know the existence of the Australian government. If this goes on for a long time, will others think that the Ministry of Foreign Trade is the Australian government? ”

Another ally of Yan Qing, Cui Fuqing and Yan Yuese, stood up and asked.

These two men are currently the targets of strong support among the state-owned conservatives, and they are also the authors of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which vigorously promotes decentralization.

But both of them are conservative radicals, and the policies they advocate are a bit different from those of the completely conservative ones.

Decentralization has become a common goal within the conservatives, and if they cannot seize a part of the rights of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, there is nothing substantial for the conservatives to obtain the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Lao Cui's words are right, the power of the Ministry of Foreign Trade is indeed too large, and it should be restricted," the other parliamentarians below have begun to whisper.

Seeing that the discussion was getting louder and louder, Huang Lao had to speak, "Let's be quiet, the theme of this council is to be decided, take a break for ten minutes, and everyone can discuss it privately." ”

With Huang Lao's permission, the parliamentarians began to discuss.

Zhao Shijie, Hu Xijing, and Liu Yun walked out of the room to the corridor.

"It seems that they are bound to win today, and if they don't give up some of their rights, I'm afraid this meeting will go on forever." Liu Yun took out a cigarette and said.

"Yes, indeed." Hu Xijing also nodded in agreement with Liu Yun's statement.

Judging from the current situation, the three of them are allies and people in both camps, and they must want a way to solve the problem at hand at this time.

After a moment of silence, Hu Xijing frowned, "I think it's better to give up part of the import and export trade allocation rights to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which can also distract some attention, and can also indirectly make the alliance between radicals and conservatives not so strong." ”

According to Hu Xijing's understanding, the purpose of the conservatives and radicals to jointly deal with the centrists is to divide a part of the import and export allocation rights of foreign trade, and if the Ministry of Foreign Trade takes out a part, there will definitely be a struggle between the two factions for this, and the final alliance can be dissolved.

However, if a part of the distribution right is taken out, it is equivalent to giving up a part of the benefits, and perhaps for a period of time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be restricted to a certain extent because of the lack of corresponding talents, and the market rules will be limited.

But the most important thing is that in the next general election, the conservatives must be able to elect a very powerful representative, and the age should not be too young, such as Zhao Shijie and others.

"In that case, let's let some of it go, but our talents must not be allowed to be cultivated, we have to let them cultivate themselves," Zhao Shijie showed a suspicious smile, and then the three of them walked towards the conference room.

Huang Lao saw that everyone had arrived, and announced that the discussion would continue.

The meeting continued, as Zhao Shijie and others imagined, conservative and radical parliamentarians stubbornly clung to the allocation power, when Hu Xijing proposed that half of the import and export foreign trade allocation rights could be given to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two factions of parliamentarians were stunned, obviously did not expect this situation to be sudden.

This time, as the spokesperson of the conservatives, he took the initiative to release half of the interests, and if they were biting to the death, it would not be easy to appease everyone, so the conservatives kept silent, seeing this situation, the radical parliamentarians knew that things might be difficult, and the radicals had to compete with the conservatives if they wanted to obtain a part of the benefits.
