Chapter 223: The Beginning of Infighting
The Ministry of Foreign Trade, the most special department of the Republic of Australia, has been decentralised again and again, and its power is not as strong as it was before the founding of the country, but if you really ignore its existence so much, then you are very wrong.
Although the Department of Foreign Affairs has been officially spun off from the Ministry of Foreign Trade to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the same level, in the traditional field, even in foreign exchanges, whether it is the Dutch or the Spanish, even the Zheng family, which has a close cooperative relationship, trusts the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
As a result, the two major departments work in the same building, and the personnel of various countries who come to work will selectively enter the door of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and it can be said that the actual role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been completely replaced.
Even though it has a partial decentralization of foreign trade, and half of the annual right to adjust the trade in import and export goods is allocated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it still has not been able to control the situation well.
In the face of such a situation, the conservatives who thought they had received great benefits a long time ago have now seen clearly that they have taken a title in vain, and in fact, the power and influence of the Ministry of Foreign Trade have not weakened, and even through the new construction of the concession area in Hong Kong, some businessmen of the Ming Dynasty have been entrapped.
Now the conservatives have regretted it very much, and the original decision had been made if they had joined forces with the radicals at that time, instead of being compromised by a piece of cake alone, the situation would have been very different.
The Ministry of Foreign Trade, represented by the conservatives, is now gradually and steadily advancing its influence in China, not only absorbing some undesirable crossings, but also absorbing the potential stocks of immigrants for the first time, and even several grassroots political stars have now become centrist forces.
By the time the other two factions came to their senses, they found that those who had the potential to be representative had become centrists.
Not long ago, Zhao Shijie submitted a proposal to redraft the diplomatic power and the right to send troops to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
Because it was approaching New Year's Day and the Chinese New Year, there was no response to the report, and it was not until yesterday that Congress approved the report.
The centrists are the first to stand up against it, if you agree, what do you need the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense to do, you have directly exercised the rights of the two departments, and simply merge these two departments into your Ministry of Foreign Trade.
However, the centrist people stood up slowly and slowly, and said with a smile, don't get me wrong, the Ministry of Foreign Trade is only proposing to exercise part of the rights, and everyone also knows that the current situation is not ordinary, and many times some privileges are needed, especially for foreign units like the Ministry of Foreign Trade, it is very inconvenient to do things without certain rights.
As soon as the word privilege came out, it was quickly seized on by the conservatives, who believed that the centrists wanted to create a privileged class, that they were following the line of the privileged class, and that they were standing on the opposite side of the people, which was very dangerous and that it had to be corrected, and even proposed ideological education for them.
We all know that conservatives are staunch supporters of Marxism-Leninism, but it doesn't seem good to make such a statement in Congress, and even radicals don't support it much.
Australia is taking the capitalist line, you take a small thing and go online, you have to educate yourself at every turn, and it is strange that others are not scared to death.
Although the proposal of the centrists is somewhat bad, the radicals will not agree to any ideological and political education you do.
Sure enough, before the centrist could come up with a rebuttal, the representatives of the radical faction stood up and objected, arguing that the conservatives were undermining democracy and freedom, that they had made a serious mistake and that they had made a serious mistake and that they had to be corrected.
Looking at the crooked ability of the two factions, the representatives of the centrist faction were also drunk, is it okay to discuss the bill on the Ministry of Foreign Trade to obtain special powers, you can be serious, don't discuss whether democracy and ideological education are good.
Regardless of the kind of eyes from the centrists, the representatives of the two factions began to argue over their own ideas as if they had not seen them. In the end, even Huang Lao's couldn't stand it anymore, and he had to announce that it would be held for the time being, which ended the ideological and political education controversy between the two factions about what had nothing to do with the bill.
After the parcel ticket ended, the private discussion continued, the radicals and the conservatives were two gangs of people who did not deal with each other, and they had a history of cooperation and finally being pitted before, and now they have a deep resentment against them.
They have decided to wait until the next time to continue the offensive against the ideological education of the conservatives, and to make sure that they know what will happen to the betrayers.
Even the bill of rights of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which should have been seriously discussed, was ignored by them, and the conservatives were also radicals who were speechless in doing so, just an analogy, who is biting now, and whether there is a little freedom of speech.
Is it too much to say the wrong thing that has not caused losses, is it too much, and the radicals are not crazy to bite this way?
The bickering seems to have diverted the centrist narrative, but this shift is not a good thing, and the Ministry of Foreign Trade is already desperate for the bill to be passed to implement its next steps.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, there have been multiple forces targeting the Australian cargo ships, and they seem to be deciding to loot the Australians' finances and cargo.
These pirates include the Ming Dynasty from the East, the ronin from Japan, and the British from the West, and it will take a long time to rely on domestic military forces to protect the merchant ships of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and according to the Constitution, the approval procedures for dispatching troops in non-emergency situations are very complicated.
If the Ministry of Foreign Trade can directly obtain the right to mobilize troops, it will be able to dispense with the complicated approvals of the Ministry of Defense and the Congress, so they will pay more attention to this, and the reason why the Ministry of Foreign Trade can make foreigners pay so much attention is that it has the right to directly declare war and transfer troops.
It's a bit like the Dutch East India Company, which has a lot of autonomy, but from another point of view, it will significantly reduce the influence of the Australian government. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be passed, and even if there is a disagreement between the two factions, at least they will definitely maintain a relatively calm thinking on this matter.
Although the jury is still inconclusive, it is certain that a new internal struggle will begin as a result.
