The last week of July, a very special Ganchuan

Before dawn, thousands of reporters from all over the world surrounded the Xindu City Hall. This central conference hall, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people working at the same time, has a central conference hall that can accommodate thousands of delegates, and several small conference halls. The Great Hall, which was put into use at the same time as the new capital at the beginning of the year, is the new center of power in the Republic, and even in the world. After the general election in the new year, hundreds of deputies from all over the country and hundreds of deputies from the central government will work here to prepare for the general election of the government in the middle of the year.

Compared to the new General Assembly Hall and the new General Assembly, the general elections of the President of the Republic and the Central Government will be more eye-catching before July. In fact, there's nothing to worry about either. Because Pei Chengyi announced at the end of the calendar year that he would partner with Jiao Kuishan to participate in the election together, before the start of the general election. No one doubts the final outcome of the election. The actual situation is the same as the outside world predicts. In the first round of voting held at the beginning of the month, Pei Chengyi and Jiao Boshan's running mate won the election.

If the focus is on the process, then this election is really worth paying attention to.

You must know that this is the first time since the founding of the Republic that the country's supreme leader has been elected by direct election.

In accordance with the Amendment to the Mutual Constitution and the Supplementary Articles to the Electoral Law, adopted in the middle of the calendar year. Starting from next year's general election, the country's top leader will be selected by direct election. Of course. As a large country with an area of tens of millions of square kilometers and a population of more than one billion, it is impossible for the republic to follow the example of the small countries of Europe and determine the country's leaders by the number of votes, after all, in addition to the number of votes, the interests of each region are also crucial. It is for this reason that the Republic continues to promote a type of indirect election, except that the participants in the indirect elections are no longer the delegates of the General Assembly, but the citizens of the whole country.

Under the new electoral system, citizen votes can only determine the outcome of a candidate in a given province. As a matter of fact. This is a kind of "electoral vote" that is similar to the United States. Similar elections are based on the weighting of population, economic level, area, resources, and other factors in each region, but the difference is that there are a little more provisions in the elections of the republic. That is, when the candidate receives the most votes. You also need to win in more than half of the provinces to be directly elected, otherwise you will have a second round against the rival with the second largest number of votes. In this way, the victory of the electoral districts, that is, the provinces, becomes crucial. With the situation of 7 years, Pei Chengyi wants to win in the first round of the election. It is necessary to obtain at least 7 gill votes, not only a simple majority of postings. also over-irrigated the absolute majority.

Such a high demand is not intended to make the elections more difficult, but to ensure that the unity of the republic is not undermined by the elections. Obviously, this is precisely what is decided in accordance with the basic national conditions of the republic. As a large country that has initially realized a democratic system and has an extremely complex domestic environment, even the vast majority of its citizens recognize the importance of democracy and wholeheartedly support it. Fundamentally, only by seeking common ground as much as possible can we maintain national stability to the greatest extent and enable the country to smoothly pass through this transition period.

Of course, such a complex electoral process has also been criticized.

Before the start of next year's general election, many Western news media claimed that the authorities of the republic had taken the opportunity of the second round of political reform. The implementation of such a complex system of direct elections makes it clear that they do not want to implement direct elections, or they want to manipulate the elections, but they do not achieve direct elections. Although the views of the Western news media are extremely absurd, you know, fundamentally. The majority of the citizens of the republic are satisfied with the results of the first round of political reforms, there is no urgent pressure to implement direct elections in the country, the authorities of the republic can maintain the original political system, and there is no need to speed up the process of democratic politics. But from an objective standpoint, the election process is too complicated. In particular, the method of counting votes has also brought a lot of trouble to the direct election, and at least many citizens of the republic do not understand why it is so troublesome.

Fortunately, last year's general election was not a surprise.

When Bae Seung-yi announced his candidacy. It has been pointed out that there will be no second outcome in the general election.

Of course, what helped Pei Chengyi win was not the new electoral party, but the urgent international situation.

Although the world war did not break out in the fierce year, the wounded years were spent in peace, according to surveys conducted by some Western international organizations, and the calendar year was the middle of the year after the Second World War. It was the least war-torn year, but when the new US President Dudgway was sworn in at the beginning of the year, he immediately announced that he would have about four strong budgets that had not yet been approved in the fiscal year. As long as the dollar is used to subsidize the already troubled US economy, some people wonder how long peace can be maintained.

It can be said that this is precisely the question in the minds of the citizens of the republic.

The problem is that if you look at the actions of the authorities of the two tiers of great powers alone, it is simply impossible to make an accurate judgment. For for several years before that, the Republic and the United States had spent huge amounts of defense as if they were preparing for war. "Mao's preparations for several years should have been in place a long time ago, but the war has been delayed

As a result, many people have learned to look at the problem from another level, that is, when the world economy collapsed.

There is no doubt that economic exhibitions are not a thing that exists alone, and the deterioration of the economic environment is also related to the pressure of war.

Although, in essence. The economic crisis born in the era of the beginning of the century is the same as the economic crisis born in the beginning of the century and replaced by the temple cake. All of them are caused by the unfair distribution of social wealth and the excessive concentration of wealth, which leads to weak destruction and overproduction, but in the eyes of some economists, the economic crisis of the falling era is more like a crisis directed or deliberately created. It has nothing to do with the nature of the economy, because the fundamental problem of this economic crisis, in addition to the unfair distribution, is also inextricably linked to the excessively large military spending. From an economic point of view alone, military spending actually has a redistributive effect. That is, through coercive means such as policies, the transfer of social wealth. Complete the second distribution of wealth. The question is. When military spending is too large, it forces the government to raise the fiscal deficit and thus increase the amount of money in circulation, which leads to a serious depreciation of the currency.

It can be said that the economic problem that led to the fall of the century was the depreciation of the currency.

As mentioned earlier, only around the past few years, the Republic and the United States have successively reduced their support for the RMB and the US dollar, and expanded the exchange rate floating range, which has led to the rapid decline of the RMB and the US dollar, and finally forced the European Union and Russia to depreciate the euro and the ruble, which eventually led to the impact of all major economies in the world, and the circulation currencies of all major economies have begun to depreciate sharply.

Of course, there is a visible and an invisible side to monetary compilation.

You can see it. Naturally, it is a small internal inflation and external depreciation. And what you can't see. It is that the real purchasing power of money is greatly reduced. Although this is also a depreciation. But the manifestations are not exactly the same as inflation. In the final analysis, too much money is spent on the military, and military supplies do not actually enter the field of circulation. As a result, there are far fewer goods than money that actually enter the consumer market. Take the defense construction of the republic, for example. From one year to the next, the Republic's defense spending totaled more than one trillion yuan. Among them, about the package entered the circulation field in the form of personnel allowances, workers' wages, goods payments, etc., and became a currency with purchasing power. Only about the paste, in the form of corporate profits, through investment, deposits, and purchase of financial products, has not entered the circulation field. The question is. In this trillion-dollar military spending, there are very few products that have market circulation capacity that are actually produced. Other words. The trillions entering the circulation field will inevitably dilute the overall purchasing power of the renminbi. By the island year, the republic's broadly defined currency in circulation was only about one trillion yuan. of trillions account for the view of friendship. It is equivalent to devaluing the currency so much.

All these factors have combined to create a sharp contraction in the consumer market.

Although the economies of the Republic and the United States are still booming in monetary terms, and even after deducting the inflation factors announced by the authorities of both countries, the economic development of the two countries is still very impressive, but in the past few years, the economies of both countries have problems, and they are not small.

In fact, there is a way to measure the state of the economy. That's the amount of power.

As everyone knows. With the rapid spread of controlled fusion nuclear power plants, the Republic of China achieved "zero electricity price" in the form of state subsidies long before the Year of Liwu, that is, the electricity required by the people's daily life is completely borne by the state. The electricity consumption of enterprises is paid in the form of energy consumption tax, and the supply of social electricity is delivered by the state to the three power companies in the form of entrustment. Residents and businesses choose the best electricity provider. All in all. At this time, the republic's electricity supply ceased to collect money from the population. And separate the electricity consumption of residential and enterprise electricity. And so it goes. Corporate electricity consumption in the republic. In fact, it became a barometer of the economic situation of the republic. In the year of the power of the year to the year of the calendar. The electricity consumption of enterprises in the republic has been growing, and the increase has been until the sharp year, above the gills, until the year when it fell below Kan. In the year of the island, for the first time, there was a negative growth. That is, the electricity consumption of enterprises has decreased. There is no doubt that this is definitely a very abnormal thing. You must know that after the new year, the authorities of the Republic of China relaxed the restrictions on high-energy-consuming enterprises, allowing the construction of some strategically important high-energy-consuming enterprises in specific areas, such as the establishment of electrolytic aluminum plants in Guangxi, the establishment of synthetic chemical plants in Fujian, and so on. Although the main purpose of this is to strengthen the country's self-supply capacity and reduce external demand in times of war. But it also has some significance for promoting economic development, at least for the weak domestic market.

The problem is that in this case, there is still a significant decline in the electricity consumption of enterprises in the republic, which is naturally not a good thing.

Because the national power supply in the United States is provided by a federally licensed private electric company, and the public electricity bill is jointly borne by the federal government and the state government, it is a calendar year. The U.S. has not published a nationwide supply of electricity, so it is not possible to obtain information from official sources. In fact, the situation in the United States is perhaps even worse than in the Republic, because in the Year of the Cat there was a rumor that the "Minolta Group." The five major federal power companies, two serious losses, had to drastically lay off the elimination of the know, the United States spit the second publication. Jiang also has a government subsidy system similar to that of the Republic. That is, the amount of subsidy is determined according to the electric energy provided by electric energy enterprises to the society.

Because the business scope of the five major U.S. power companies is relatively fixed, and the "Minolta Group" is mainly responsible for providing electricity for the manufacturing, electronics, shipbuilding and shipping industries, the group's lower income is enough to prove that the U.S. economy is in trouble. And it's a big problem.

In the words of some Western economists, the economies of the Republic and the United States entered a strange state around the time of the day, that is, the total economic volume continued to grow, but the benefits of economic growth were not directly reflected.7 Although some people hope to explain it with theories such as "stagflation". But it couldn't be explained. There are also those who compare the economy after the West Year with the global economy in the Yo Hou and Yo Hou years, that is, the false prosperity brought about by military expansion, but they cannot explain one. The very critical issue is that the military expansion after the field years did not bring prosperity.

Only one thing is certain, and that is that the economy of the Republic and the United States is deteriorating.

The question is, how long can the Republic and the United States hold out?

In a sense, thanks. The Republic and the United States have not yet exploded into economic crises, and one of the most critical reasons is that both countries are trying to find ways to stimulate their economies. That is, to ensure that the vast majority of the people can live a normal life by various coercive means. For example, in the year of the field, the authorities of the Republic enacted a more stringent Inheritance Law, which nearly doubled the average proportion of inheritance tax. At the same time, both the central and local governments of the Republic have increased the maximum amount of social assistance, expanded the scope and intensity of social assistance, and provided skills training, for example. Promote re-employment. The U.S. authorities have adopted similar policies around the time to ensure economic stability. Exactly, many economists assert. Only when the republic was overwhelmed with the American authorities. The economic crisis will come.

Of course. No one doubts that the economic crisis will come.

No matter how strong the republics and the American authorities are. and how powerful the interest groups stand behind the two governments. They all have to obey the objective laws of the exhibition of things. From this. From a point of view, the later the economic crisis comes. The greater the damage caused by the explosion.

It can be seen that before the year of the field. The Republic and the United States are gambling on life and death.

On the side of the Republic and the United States. After the calendar year. Even if there is no world war. As long as two, the economic crisis of the major countries broke out at the same time. The second global depression of this century could even lead to a total collapse of the global economy, and the result would still be war. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the war will not break out. It will also be difficult for the Republic and the United States to regain their strength in the short term, and it will be impossible for them to continue to dominate the world. Obviously, this is an outcome that neither the Republic nor the United States can accept, so both the Republic and the United States can only give it a go.

In other words, it's up to who makes it to the end.

If it is said. There was a glimmer of hope until the end of the calendar year. It is believed that with the strong economic foundation of the Republic and the United States. It's not a problem to get drunk for another year. Then to the end of the year. Especially in the second half of the calendar year, as more and more signs of crisis surfaced, more people believed. War will soon break out.

Of course. It was certainly not the Republic and the United States that were the first to go wrong.

In the language of economics, it is only at low tide that you know who is swimming naked, and the shallower the base. Nature comes to the surface first. In countries and economic entities other than the Republic and the United States. With the exception of the European Union, no other country or economic entity is of the same size. For many small and medium-sized countries. Because of the alliance of the early leading powers. Or maintain friendly relations with major powers. It's already financially integrated, so life is a little better. For example, the member countries of the intensive group rely on the Republic to provide huge renminbi loans. The economic problems are not very serious. Some medium-sized countries that have not taken refuge in the Republic and the United States are also relying on a relatively perfect national economic system and a relatively independent way of economic development, and are struggling to move forward. The first thing to go wrong is Russia, which has great power ambitions but has never become a great power.

At the beginning of the year, when the Russian authorities used the military coup d'état in Kazakhstan to drive armored troops into Astana, almost all countries believed that the republic would intervene with troops. Although the result was the opposite, the republic not only did not send troops to get involved, but acquiesced in Russia's move to control Kazakhstan, but this result does not say anything, but rather makes many people think. The republic has bigger agendas. To know. Since the Republic drove the United States out of Afghanistan by uniting with Pakistan and defeating India. Central Asia is seen as the balance of the strategic posture of the republic and Russia. And it's a "balance that can't be easily changed." Russia is making a fuss in Kazakhstan, naturally, it is joking with the interests of the republic. With the foreign policy that the Republic has adhered to for a long time, it is natural that it will not rest on its laurels.

In fact, Gu 6 years ago in this matter. It had a direct impact on the general elections of the Republic after the year.

To be sure, it was this incident. So that Pei Chengyi finally made the decision to run. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the café. More chapters. Support the author, support genuine reading!
