On the outskirts of Mandalay, on the banks of the Irrawaddy River, stands a huge bronze Buddha statue with a height of 49 meters. No one knows how the Burmese Communist Party managed to acquire this huge Buddha statue of hundreds of tons in such a short period of time. In Myanmar, an underdeveloped country, it is obviously extravagant and wasteful to spend so much money to build such a giant Buddha, but as a Buddhist country, such a move will not have any negative impact, and even those activists who shout for all kinds of rights must worship this giant Buddha with reverence.

The Communist Party of Myanmar invited the most respected monks in Myanmar to consecrate the giant Buddha, and during the consecration ceremony of the giant Buddha, millions of believers came from all over the country to pay homage to the face of the giant Buddha. When thousands of monks chanted in unison, the giant Buddha shook suddenly, and the voice of Hong Zhong Dalu spread all over the wilderness, and in an instant, it seemed that the bronze Buddha was plated with a layer of gold.

All the believers thought that the Buddha had appeared, and they all bowed down and worshiped the giant Buddha. The famous Bhikku (the great master of Zen Buddhism and the living Buddha of Tantra) taught that the Buddha blesses Myanmar and that the new kingdom is blessed by the Dharma, and everything goes well.

In fact, this matter is very absurd in the eyes of outsiders, and the Communist Party of Burma, which is obviously an atheist, hurriedly declared freedom of belief within the political party after seizing power, and then cast such a large Buddha statue, some foreign analysts and commentators pointed out that this is the Communist Party of Burma selling good to people in its own religious circles, and the so-called teachings of Buddhism Bhiku are nothing more than reciprocating the favor and using their influence to pave the way for the Communist Party of Burma in the subsequent general election.

The majority of people in Myanmar believe in Theravada Buddhism, commonly known as Theravada Buddhism or Theravada Buddhism, and Buddhism and monks enjoy great influence in the country. Today, Bhikku said that the new country is blessed by the Buddha and praises the Burmese Communist Party for respecting the Buddha, so it is natural that devout Buddhists will favor the political group of the Burmese Communist Party named by the Bhikku in the future election.

Yu Shenji looked at this big Buddha from a distance, which was very different from the Buddha statue in the Central Plains, not only his face was a little strange. He didn't know why the Strategy Bureau wanted to explain what to do such a thing, in his opinion, there were many ways to buy people's hearts, and it was too unbelievable to build a big Buddha here. However, the chairman of the Communist Party of Burma, Dechinpa, was smiling when he reached the top, he was a Red Alert spy, so he naturally knew what the role of this huge Buddha statue was.

It was produced by the Red Police sub-base and then transported to Mandalay for assembly. Originally, each part of the Buddha statue alone had no meaning or value, but when assembled, this Buddha statue is a transformed spiritual beacon tower, constantly spreading spiritual power to the surrounding area. Due to the first borrowing of religious objects as sustenance, the Psychic Beacon Tower has undergone some special changes, and the Giant Buddha's influence on the minds of Buddhists has been raised to a quasi-second-level level of mind control, which has greatly enhanced the degree of recognition of the implanted concept. On the other hand, non-Buddhists do not pay attention to the Buddha statue at all, so they are not affected by mind control.

Fortunately, 90 percent of the residents of Myanmar are Buddhists, and most of the other Christians and Muslims are ethnic minority autonomous states with strong control over the Burmese Communist Party, so it is not too bad in reality.

Yu Shenji glanced at Dechenba beside him and asked, "Comrade President, do you have confidence in the upcoming general election?" In fact, the answer to this question can be guessed to some extent, and the rapid development of the Communist Party of Myanmar in Myanmar is unexpected. The announcement of a general election has given the CPM a popular base, and it has won the hearts and minds of the people by taking control of the interim government with a strong military front, and some speculators joining it. Therefore, in the absence of a strong competitor, the Communist Party of Myanmar has the best chance of winning the election.

The upcoming general elections of the Communist Party of Myanmar are to elect the head of state, also known as the federal president. According to the new constitution promulgated by the Constituent Assembly a few days ago, the presidential election in Myanmar will be more similar to the Electoral College system in the United States. Both countries share a variety of interests, but Myanmar is the ******** and the United States is an immigration issue.

According to the administrative divisions stipulated in the new Constitution, the division of provinces and states has been abolished, and all sub-administrative units have been classified as states. Mandalay Province was upgraded to the Mandalay Capital Region, and two new states were added, Kokang State (including Mongla) and Wa State, forming 15 states and one Capital Region. Each state has five electors in the Senate, and then the House of Representatives electors are elected on the basis of population, adding up to 377 electoral votes.

The so-called Electoral College is a winner-takes-all indirect election model, and of course there are democracy fighters who believe that it is a direct election. When a presidential election is held, the electors are determined by the Senate and the House of Representatives, but in reality the electors are not real people, but "virtual people" who only count the numbers. "For example, the Mandalay District has a total of 5 senators, and because of its large population, there are 18 deputies, so the capital district has a total of 23 electoral votes, and these electoral votes are not directly related to the actual senators and representatives of the SAR, and the votes cast by the senators and representatives have nothing to do with this electoral vote.

In the general election in the Mandalay Capital Region, the winner takes all 23 electoral votes in the Mandalay Capital Region and obtains a relative majority of all the votes cast in the Mandalay Capital Region. After the results of the elections in all states are summed up, the candidate who obtains a majority of all the electoral votes is elected president, and if there is no candidate with a majority of the votes, all the houses of the House of Representatives vote in a round to choose one of the top four candidates as president.

In fact, given the situation in Myanmar, it is very easy to make mistakes in conducting such a direct universal suffrage. For example, it is difficult to stop the act of "buying votes", or maliciously use violence, economic interests and other means to coerce voters to vote. Because of the high illiteracy rate in Myanmar, it is also a problem to get illiterate voters to vote. In addition, if there is a single ethnic party in a state with a single ethnic group, it is likely to receive all the electoral votes in the state, and the more this happens, it is easy to create a situation where the votes are highly similar. Naturally, the solution would be for a big party to promise a coalition to join the cabinet, or something like that, in exchange for the candidate of the small party to withdraw from the election and join the opposing party's electoral line-up.

Another problem is that it is difficult for a relatively small minority to obtain the presidency, but the position of the supreme governor can be basically locked in within the state, and then each state has a high degree of autonomy according to the federal system, and even has the military power to manage the local army of the National Guard, which is likely to cause a very serious conflict between the federal government and the state government.

From many angles, it is definitely not a smart choice for Myanmar to copy the electoral system and democratic system of the United States, and it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble in the future, but many people with lofty ideals believe that the key to solving the national problem is not only to establish a fair system, because of the entanglement of interests, it is difficult to achieve a real balance in the system, so national reconciliation and economic integration can help to eliminate the big trouble when there are some loopholes in the system.

At least, the Burmese are now more content with the new system that their country has established, and what problems arise in the future can be discussed later.

The election of the chief executive of the state and the parliament are not very recent, and each state sets a timetable for the election of the chief executive according to its own state situation, and the parliamentary election will be held in two years for the first half of the members of parliament and two years later for the other half of the members of parliament. The Constituent Assembly will be transformed into a parliament after the presidential election, with the Senate and House of Representatives, and the state governor will also be appointed by the current provisional federal government, so it will basically be up to the CPM. This in itself is a big advantage.

After the change of day, the Communist Party of Myanmar has been recognized by many countries because it has announced that it will hold a national election and actively invited the United Nations and Western countries to send election observation missions.

A White House spokesman said: "We are pleased to see the ongoing democratic process in Myanmar and are ready to help in any way we can for this big change." ”

When asked about the presidential election in Myanmar, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry replied: "We have always adhered to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and actively promoted diplomatic relations of good-neighborliness and friendship. We respect the right of the people of Myanmar to independently choose the national system and the national path, and greatly appreciate the revolutionary cause of the Myanmar people in overthrowing the country and seeking the people to be the masters of the country. China is willing to work with Myanmar to develop more constructive bilateral diplomatic relations and make positive efforts for friendly exchanges and common development between the two peoples. ”

Naturally, there were also sophisticated reporters who asked whether the sudden increase in the strength of the Communist Party of Burma was related to China, and the spokesman replied dryly: "The Chinese government has not provided any direct or indirect support or assistance to the Communist Party of Burma, let alone interfered in the internal affairs of Burma. ”

In fact, this is not a lie, because the Strategy Bureau is a hierarchical but non-establishment organization, and it is not too much of a problem to say that it is a state organ, and it is not too much of a problem to say that it is not.

In the general election in December at the end of the year, the Communist Party of Burma candidate Ba Teng Thorn overwhelmingly defeated the only candidate of the Democratic Party of Myanmar, Aung Kyi, and was successfully elected as the first democratically elected president of Myanmar.

The United States immediately announced a plan to provide $20 million in military aid to Myanmar, and Qi Yiming naturally instructed Ba Dengding and Yushen to take it as soon as possible. However, the US military aid is very directive, and this money can only be used to buy US equipment. Qi Yiming could not make Myanmar's weapons standardized in the United States, and in the future, Myanmar would definitely make it clear that the carriages and horses would join the Chinese side, so he instructed the Burmese military to use the money to purchase equipment from the United States, such as Humvees and S-70 helicopters, which have less stringent requirements for the standard.

Soon, China announced plans for larger military aid to Burma, with a total value of up to $600 million. Including 100 MBT-1000 second-generation main battle tanks, 100 VN-3 4X4 armored vehicles, a number of towed artillery guns of various calibers, anti-armor missiles and individual anti-aircraft missiles; 24 J-7M interceptors, 4 Y-8 medium transport aircraft, 24 K-8 trainers; 10 Type 021 200-ton missile boats, search and rescue vessels and a number of speedboats.

Once again, the world was amazed by China's generosity, and even the United States felt a little sour, perhaps because of the psychology of comparison, and then announced the second phase 1. $200 million in military aid to Myanmar.

In the end, it was the Myanmar military and Qi Yiming who took advantage.
