Chapter 429
"Protests, popular uprisings, and even armed resistance are just scratching the surface. At a deeper level, these economic reform policies will severely divide our society, recreate different classes, and because taxes are too heavy, people will not have the energy to create more value than three meals a day and the most basic leisure and entertainment, which also means that the channel for class rise will be blocked. Wu Wei, do you know what this means? ”
"Of course I do, but I don't think it's set in stone. You should also be aware that policy tilt is only a stopgap measure, and once you get through this crisis, everything will return to the way it was. I would like to ask you, Minister Han, if our civilization is extinct here, what is the value of the high welfare, the high mobility, and everything that you think is good? ”
"Taking a more moderate approach to reforming the economy doesn't mean that our civilization will be extinct here, you're confusing concepts. I've convened scientists to discuss this, and they've come to the conclusion that 40 percent of the investment will certainly accelerate the emergence of scientific breakthroughs, but 20 percent, or less, does not mean that we will not be able to achieve breakthroughs before extinction. ”
"It's really just a matter of probability, and I agree with you, so do you think it's a good deal to trade a higher risk of civilization extinction for economic and social stability?"
"Yes or no, this needs to be discussed separately, but do you know that once the class is locked up and vested interests emerge, they will inevitably gradually erode the government and eventually take power, thus becoming the staunchest supporters of the current system? Your so-called plan of economic reform will be so poisonous that our civilization will not necessarily be destroyed by natural catastrophe, but by civil strife. ”
"Minister Han, I don't think alarmism, grandstanding has any value here."
……
A serious meeting, attended by all the high-level human governments, almost became a debate between Han Luochang and Wu Wei. It seems that not only Wu Wei, but also Han Luochang has made full preparations for this.
Wu Wei was the figure that Shen Qingyuan pushed to the forefront, but Shen Qingyuan didn't know if there were other forces behind Han Luochang who were pushing.
It seems that because Han Luo often listed all the reasons that can be refuted, there were no other people in the conference room to speak. People just followed the train of thought of Han Luochang and Wu Wei, constantly thinking and recording.
The debate between the pros and cons was bound to be long and cumbersome, and no one could convince the other side until more than an hour later. The scene seemed to be evenly matched, but Shen Qingyuan knew that the situation had begun to turn unfavorable to him.
The reason is simple, he is the Führer. And people are well aware of their tendencies. In this case, silence and refusal to express one's position are actually expressing one's position.
"Maybe I'm in too much of a hurry. Before he could win enough supporters and influence, he took the liberty of raising this issue. Shen Qingyuan sighed secretly in his heart: "But I don't have time to wait." ”
In normal times, if a reform of such great significance is to be slowly brewed, with a lot of propaganda and many adjustments, it will not be proposed until it has a certain public opinion base. And this time is very likely to be as long as 30 years, or even 50 years. Now, less than half a month has passed from the emergence of this idea to the actual discussion at the meeting.
The current stalemate is actually due to his long-standing prestige. If the rest of the heads of state are replaced, I am afraid that they will be rejected by the public as soon as they are proposed.
Shen Qingyuan knew that the more it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for him. Now, it's time to decide.
"Let's start voting."
Under normal circumstances, meetings at this level would last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. A variety of different points of view will be fully presented, and a variety of different personalities will take turns to speak, supplemented by various private communication, coordination, compromise, etc., before finally a decision is made at the meeting. But Shen Qingyuan has the power to break or change the agenda of the meeting. Because he is the Führer.
People looked at Shen Qingyuan in amazement, and even Wu Wei was puzzled. In the original plan, after Wu Wei, there were several other heavyweights who supported their own side, but now it seems that they may not have a chance to play.
The results of the vote were not long in coming. One hundred and sixty-nine votes were against, 129 were in favor and eight abstained. The negative votes were in the majority.
Shen Qingyuan slowly raised his head, his eyes full of irresistible majesty.
"42.15 percent of the votes were in favor. 55.22 per cent of the votes were against. The negative vote was in the majority. But the votes have already exceeded 40 percent, and according to the government's constitution, as head of government, I have the power to force the adoption of an agenda item when it has more than 40 percent support. ”
The huge conference room was immediately so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and at this moment, both supporters and opponents all looked at Shen Qingyuan with shock, and their eyes looked like they were looking at a madman.
It is true that the statutes of government stipulate this, and this is indeed the power of the Führer, but which Führer would really use it? Didn't he know what that meant?
After the establishment of the current system, no Führer in history has ever used this power.
When the opposition is in the majority, it must mean that the different stakeholders have not yet reached a compromise, and such a policy, even if enacted, will almost certainly not be enforced. Moreover, if the Führer uses the power of forcible passage, it is clear that the Führer has no other means to resolve the matter, which not only raises doubts about the Führer's ability to control, but also undermines his prestige.
Moreover, this situation often does not mean the implementation of policies, but the intensification of contradictions. This is simply brute force, and as the head of government, it is just that he does not have enough power to solve the problem, like a child who is angry, is this what the head of state should do?
Shen Qingyuan knew these things very clearly, but Shen Qingyuan didn't care. Shen Qingyuan only hopes to send a signal through these behaviors, so that people can understand that they have made up their minds. In any case, I will continue this policy. If anyone wants to stand in the way, be prepared to bear their wrath.
There was a buzz in the room, and the presiding officer had to shout: "Silence, silence!" ”
When the people finally quieted down, Shen Qingyuan stood up directly, glanced at the audience again, and then coldly spit out two words: "The meeting is dismissed." ”
Shen Qingyuan knew that this night was destined to be a sleepless night for many people. It may be time for people to make the final choice, and it is time for them to carefully plan for the implementation of policies in the coming period.
Zhao Yang, the supreme head of the intelligence agency, and General Lei Zhen, the supreme head of the military, had already arrived in his office one step ahead of Shen Qingyuan to wait. In the face of these two absolute henchmen and the most loyal supporters, Shen Qingyuan also did not be polite, but directly ordered: "Lei Zhen, order the whole army to enter the second-level alert state." Every building with more than 100,000 inhabitants, whether a spaceship, a factory, or a space base, must have a military team of no less than 10 people stationed. Zhao Yang, you immediately collect the list of opponents in the government and the information, and if necessary, you can take surveillance measures. ”
There was something unusual about this order, but it did not surprise the two men. The two took the order and left, but a moment later, the secretary brought a piece of news that surprised Shen Qingyuan.
"Führer, Minister Han would like to talk to you."
Shen Qingyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Let him in." ”
Han Luo Chang walked into Shen Qingyuan's office after half a minute, and said directly: "Führer, I oppose your decision. I think you should think again. ”
Shen Qingyuan said lightly: "No one can resist the things determined by the plenary meeting. As a senior government official, what you need to do is not to question the decisions of the meeting, but to think about how to implement them. ”
"Führer, why are you so eager to pursue this policy? Even if the content of the policy remains unchanged, it is good to suspend the implementation and have more buffer time. I don't understand why. ”
Han Luo was often a stubborn person, and Shen Qingyuan knew that if he didn't give him a reason, he might really be able to resist his orders. Although he could be removed, Shen Qingyuan was not willing to do that.
However, can I really tell him about my physical condition, and tell him that I am so anxious because I am worried that the next Führer will not have the courage of myself?
Shen Qingyuan knew that he couldn't do that.
With a sigh in his heart, Shen Qingyuan didn't answer, but said, "Luo Chang, do you know about Han Yue and resurrection?" I think the two of them are a good match. ”
Han Luochang's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, but he still said, "Führer, I also think they are a good match. But I also think that private affairs have nothing to do with official affairs. ”
Shen Qingyuan looked at Han Luochang deeply, and Han Luochang also looked at Shen Qingyuan calmly, his eyes did not evade in the slightest.
Shen Qingyuan knew that there was no force behind Han Luochang to oppose him, and the reason why Han Luochang did this was because he really thought that doing so would bring disaster to civilization.
But Shen Qingyuan also knew that no matter whether there were forces behind it or not, since Han Luochang had become a banner against his own policies, those opposing forces would inevitably begin to converge under Han Luochang's banner.
