Chapter 376: Stepping down
Integration of Europe.
This is a huge difficulty for Britain and France.
Because since the financial crisis, the European Union has been torn apart, and even Britain has broken away...... Are you going to eat back grass now?
Will the UK be embarrassed?
There are currently 26 EU member states, and is it possible for so many countries to unify their positions, eliminate internal differences, and speak with one voice?
If Britain and France can really do this, and maintain no division, it will be difficult for the EU as a whole to not give a 'veto'.
There is also Mao Zi and the third brother, the sum of the populations of the two countries is completely sufficient, but the total GDP is less than 8 trillion dollars, which is still 12 trillion yuan away from 20 trillion.
In order to form a "voting coalition", at least all the countries ranked 20th to 120th in terms of global GDP must be brought together to constitute a 'veto'...... That is, they need to reach hundreds of countries.
Of course, if we co-opt the medium-sized countries of Japan, the Cold Kingdom, the Hatuci Kingdom, and Brazil, and bring about 20 smaller countries with us, it can also constitute a 'veto power'...... Similar to another form of the European Union.
But it is still the same sentence that "the three monks have no water to drink", too many people can not do great things, even if the two groups make up the 'veto power', internal differences will sooner or later prevail and overwhelm the overall interests.
In addition, countries with veto power can pay 1% of a country's GDP to the Earth Federation, and ordinary member states can pay 0.5% of it...... That's twice as much.
It's not a little bit of money.
Therefore, countries that want to join the "voting coalition" must think clearly, whether it is necessary to pay double the amount of money to enjoy the "one-vote veto".
Not to mention, it is too difficult to get more than 30 countries to agree, and if one of them is bought by a big country and becomes a backbone, then don't think about doing big things.
In short, there are countless dead holes.
Ying, French, Maozi, and the third brother of course also saw the "routine" hidden inside.
Even so.
The four countries eventually agreed to such a solution and joined the Earth Federation...... In the past few months, they have been gritting their teeth and holding on, and once the comprehensive sanctions fall, they will not be able to bear it, so it is better to accept it when it is good.
In this way, all countries and regions on the earth are included in the "Earth Federation".
A new era of federation has arrived.
Even the year 20X1 is called the "first year of the federation".
And in June of the following year 20X2.
That is, June of the 2nd year of the Federation.
Longfrall stepped down from office and stepped down from the presidency of country M.
The president, who has been in office for eight years, has done countless things that no other president has been able to do.
He led country M out of the debt crisis and reduced its debt of more than 28 trillion yuan to 15 trillion yuan.
He completed health care reforms that reduced the cost of medical care by at least 70 percent.
He achieved a total ban on guns, confiscated more than 300 million guns, and reduced gun violence by 99 percent.
Drug crime has been basically eliminated and a drug-free country has been created.
The refugee problem has been resolved, and 5 million people have been transferred to Desert Free City.
In the last year of his term, he initiated the establishment of the "Earth Federation" and led the earth into a new era.
A few of the above events.
An ordinary president can do a good job! It's all commendable.
But Longfro's did it all in just eight years!
This is no longer the ability of ordinary people, and it seems thin to describe it as a genius, and it is simply a "god man".
So he had a very high reputation.
and more than 95% public support.
There are even countless people who have launched a petition to amend the constitution, extend the presidential term, and let Longfro stay in office for a few more years...... More than 50 million petitioners signed the petition.
"To be honest, it takes a thousand years for a president like Longfro's to come across one."
"I'm 100 percent bet that the next president to come to power, whoever he is, won't be able to do Longfro's 1 percent."
"I used to be fiercely against Longfro, but now I am a fanatical advocate for him, because everything he does is for our good."
"Eight more years, Mr. Longfro, we need you to continue to lead us."
"If he can move, I hope he will continue to be in power, for another ten or twenty years, as long as he is on stage, I feel at ease."
"I used to believe in the ballot, now I only believe in Longfrew."
But Longfro still left the stage of power without any nostalgia...... Even if he can easily amend the constitution, he can choose to serve two more terms.
But he didn't.
As he said: "There are times when saints make mistakes, I am not a saint, and I have to leave when I have the best memory for the people, and not to step down in a lonely position in the midst of complaints and anger...... It was the perfect curtain call I longed for. ”
The words were so moving that even the two new candidates reverently stated: "We want to be presidents like Longfrew, and if he is considered for re-election, we are willing to give up the race and vote for him." ”
It can be said that Longfrew has become a benchmark, a benchmark that can only be admired and difficult to surpass.
After Longfrew stepped down, within a few months, one day he suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the entire country M could not be searched, causing a panic.
But no matter how much they dig into the ground and issue a global "missing person notice", they can't find any trace of it.
Many people in country M wept bitterly: where did their respected president go?
After a few years in the past, the longing of the people of country M for Longfro is still not diminished, but more intense, and they miss that era very much.
Some Hollywood companies seized this business opportunity and launched a series of film and television works such as "Assassination of Longfrew" and "Longfreo Must Die", the main content of which is to adapt Longfrew's 1487 assassinations into movies and television, telling how Longfrew fought with the assassins and wittily avoided assassination after assassination.
After the launch of these types of film and television works, almost all of them have exploded in ratings, won countless box offices, and even become a super IP, with countless works derived, even if there are some brain-opening dramas, the market performance is still strong.
Many killers who participated in the assassination of Longfreo have written a series of memoir-like books such as "I Killed Longfro", "Fire at Longfrew", "The 1888th Way to Kill Longfrew", etc., vividly telling their respective assassination processes, which actually sold quite well, and even gave birth to several best-selling authors, not to mention film and television adaptations.
It can be said that Longfrew has become a legend, a pop culture phenomenon, a hero and saint in the minds of many.
Even his disappearance has left people with a lot of beautiful imagination.
"Only the somewhat cruel truth is in the hands of a few people, right?"
Chen Jin shook his head, he is also a person who yearns for beauty, the so-called truth is still rotten in his heart.
