Chapter 149: Merger Procedure: Reincarnation (9)
Procedure of amalgamation, a term that exists almost exclusively in history books. Moreover, these history books do not exist in the textbooks of any one power, they only stay in the most unpopular corners of the big libraries, in the dusty piles of books.
More than 20 years ago, it was one of the most critical words in politics. At that time, the remnant war ended, and the forces were rising, and the global human alliance that still existed naturally made every effort to resist this act of independence in the essence of the word.
The power to dispatch leaders has expired, and the rotten alliance only wants to continue to control its influence on Green Island, hoping that one day glory will return. Through this expectation, the alliance resorted to bribery, assassination, military threats, and everything was done, and it was a short but dark time, especially against the weak.
Until the social activist Fitz. Radrian famously proposed the principle of reversion. Proceeding from the spirit of the Charter, he proposed three principles:
First, the alliance should allow its subordinate Green Island to form alliances spontaneously and voluntarily, which is a special embodiment of the principle of Green Island autonomy.
Second, the product of such an alliance is a second-class alliance, which shall embody democratic principles, shall not dissolve parliament at will, shall inherit and recognize the ownership of the alliance over the green islands, and shall not be independent without authorization;
Third, when such an alliance deems it unable to protect the charter rights of its members, it has the right to initiate the annexation procedure, which is under the control of the Union Parliament and the government shall not interfere.
Hence the name of the merger procedure.
In the circumstances, the merger process was a welcome proposal. Most of the Green Islands wanted to get rid of the rotten alliance and establish a new, politically clear alliance, and the alliance got what it wanted most. Therefore, under the mediation of the Ark and the Huaxia Green Island Group, the principle of reversion, dissolution and merger procedures were accepted by all parties in an underground agreement, which became the biggest booster for the subsequent establishment of the Green Island forces.
However, Radrian didn't get what he wanted. The Global Human Alliance blindly advocates the reform of the prosperous era, and the Green Island Alliance only cares about improving the organizational structure, and in their own ghosts, all forces invariably choose to downplay his achievements.
As a social activist, Radrian spent his last years in a bleak life, placed under residential surveillance for half his life, denied access to the media, refused to participate in politics, and his 300,000-word work on the annexation process was restricted from circulation, and all 30 copies were printed, 20 sets were given free to various forces, and the remaining 10 sets were locked in the house as secrets. In the fall of IC52, the 47-year-old Radrian died of poverty in Calcutta without even a decent funeral.
The merger process is such a great but sensitive bill, like the reverse scales of the dragon, and those who do not reach a certain status are not even qualified to hear about it. It is not difficult to imagine how much the whole world shook when the Parliament of the Union of the Caucasus suddenly announced the start of the procedure.
On September 26, IC64, the parliament hall in Warsaw was packed, with 112 senators and 862 deputies all absent, and people seized the short time before the start of the meeting to communicate, and countless whispers gathered together, forming a huge buzz.
Last night, when the invitation letter from the head of the Caucasian Union parliament, Ekalov, arrived at the residence of the parliamentarians, it was accompanied by a temporary print signed by Fitz. Radrian's work. In fact, it was only last night that most of the legislators learned for the first time that they still had the power in their hands, known as the merger process.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Yekarov took his seat on time, and the plenary session of the Provisional Parliament of the Caucasian Union began on time.
"In accordance with the Treaty signed in June of IC48, the Parliament has the only right of the Union to initiate the merger process, which is supported by all the laws in force in the Union. Today's topic is whether the alliance will initiate the relevant procedures. Yekarov's words were concise and his voice was full of power, but the whole parliament exploded in an instant.
And that's where it begins? No reason, no explanation, straight to the point?
The speaker, who was known for his decisiveness and ability, ignored the requests from the audience to speak, which almost pierced his eyes, and did not even tremble in his voice as if he had read from the script.
"In turn, each member has one vote, and the statement rate exceeds 75%, and the vote is valid; The support rate exceeded 66%, the bill passed, and the voting began. โ
Deathly silence. This scene is beyond the imagination of all parliamentarians, Yekalov, what made him dare to initiate a bill in such a way that completely violates the rules of politics? There was no lobbying, no communication, not even the most basic speeches. Even though he has won absolute support from the party, this is a plenary meeting, and the Conservative Party he represents only has 57% of the seats.
"Yes." Ignoring the surprise of the crowd, after more than ten seconds of silence, it was Yekarov who was the first to stand up and express his undoubted support.
"Speaker's seat, support." The teller's voice repeated, like an electronic voice, false and empty.
"Abstain."
"Deputy Speaker Seat 1, abstain." The white light that symbolizes abstention is lit.
"Yes." The leader of the reform party and Yekalov's biggest opponent, Deputy Speaker Solo. Lesko stated.
"Vice-Speaker Seat 2, anti-...... In the tank! The green light came on, and the room was in an uproar.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Against."
"Yes."
The green lights were lit one after another, and the white and red colors mixed in between them were like candles burning to the end, crumbling, and the parliamentarians suddenly understood that they did not need to know the inside story, they just needed to know that the Caucasus Union had reached a turning point in history.

Greenwich, Prodi's former home.
It's been cleaned up back to what Prodi used to look like, and there's nothing else but the group photo on the wall and the heavy carpet.
Since Prodi's departure, Angel has devoted herself almost entirely to the affairs of the kingdom. In her spare time, she would take Hood here, sit cross-legged in the middle of the living room, and rest, only here could she unload the burden of the dictatorship queen and get a rest for her soul.
Yisi. Hood is already the queen's well-deserved number one minister. The young man wore a simple handmade white shirt and black trousers, with a beard, and silver thin-rimmed glasses that slightly obscured his still immature face.
Hood was an extremely bright young man, otherwise he would not have made that bold but feasible plan under the deliberate guidance of Mirรณ. In the past, he may still have a little inferiority complex and youthfulness, but his youth gave him self-confidence, and he grew up instantly after destroying the door overnight, so to speak, Fanol and Miro single-handedly created him, which may not have been thought of by Fanor.
However, Hood was still too young, and he was not even born when Prody, Tang Ju, and the two Queen Elizabeth daughters formed their friendship, so naturally he couldn't understand Angel's approach. The queen sat cross-legged in the dilapidated hut with her eyes closed, and it seemed to him that it was the queen who was asking the elusive master.
Someday, I'll take your place, Prodi. Ethel.
The secretary trotted over and handed Hood a piece of paper, and the young man glanced at him and turned to enter the door.
He walked lightly, but Angel was the first to notice him coming in.
"The results are in?" Open her eyes, and she becomes the authoritarian queen who rules the kingdom of Greenwich again.
"With 772 votes in favor, 164 against, and 38 abstentions, the Caucasus Union has officially launched the merger process." Hood replied softly.
"Expected, isn't it?" A mocking smile slipped into Angel's mouth, "Democracy, hypocritical democracy." โ
This result was indeed expected by Hood, who knew that the annexation of the Caucasian Union was irreversible from the time he had read through that legendary program from the Grand Library of the Royal Library last night.
"If Yekalov did not have the certainty of passing a motion of this magnitude, he would not have put it forward at all, not only the initiation motion, but also the annexation motion, the Caucasus Union, only the last 5 days of life remained."
"If you have anything to say, just say it." The queen stared at the young man she relied on the most, Angel could feel in him that he was not inferior to Prodi's intelligence, if there was a difference, it was probably that Hood would never be as direct as Prodi, he could debunk the conspiracy, but he could not ignore the conspiracy like Prodi.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hood stroked his chest and bowed, and when he got up, Angel saw the young man again, "Anaheim annexed the Mediterranean Alliance, not only because of the superiority of our allies, but also because of the strategic choice, the skill of the host, and the unavoidable fact that 10,000 of the most elite Mediterranean troops are on vacation in Shangri-La. โ
"Go on."
"The problem with the Caucasian Union is also this. Eroul's first battle did come at a huge cost, and because of his own stupidity, he lost absolute control of the Alliance of the Americas at this critical moment, and also lost 2 second-order abilities and endless military support, and his losses were not insignificant. But even so, with the help of Lord Adranor and Zulu Oba, two third-order abilities, the Alliance of the Americas still has an absolute advantage in the comparison of forces. The situation on the American continent was now obscure, but it was by no means to the point where Ellul had to withdraw his troops, and he was reluctant to get his hands on McRovo. Once the Americas are calm, the Caucasians will be defeated. Hood spoke eloquently.
"You forget the Allied forces that are being formed, they won't stay in Shangri-La forever."
"We're not going to stay in Greenwich forever." Hood smiled confidently and straightened his back in front of the queen, "What's more, sooner or later we will go to the Caucasus, on the other hand, the Allies, will they really appear in Warsaw before the Caucasus Union falls?" โ
Angel stood up, her pupils almost constricted to the tip of a needle: "You mean ......"
"I spent the night reading through the annexation motion and the principle of reversion, and I happened to understand a fact." Walking across from Angel, Hood raised his index finger, "The goal of the Global Human Alliance may have been us while the war was still brewing, but as our response and the situation expanded, their appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Attacking the Alliance would cost too many political points, but winning the war, and then receiving the Alliance's government-in-exile with all its might, would not condemn the Alliance, and at that point, they would combine with the Ark into a huge force covering 7 percent of the Green Island. In a few years, a new global alliance of humanity will achieve true unity and become the unique hegemon of mankind. โ
"It seems that the Caucasians also understood." Angel struggled to calm herself down, she closed her eyes again, not looking, just listening.
"Yes. Not only did they understand Shangri-La's purpose, but they also responded in the best way. โ
"Do you want to merge?"
"As soon as the annexation process began, the Allies had to support the Caucasian Alliance, and the Allied presence in Warsaw would completely change the balance of power in the Caucasus theater, and we would have to go ahead of schedule. The collapse of the Caucasian Union was inevitable, but Yekalov put himself in the most advantageous position with this hand by retreating, and if he won, the politicians of the Caucasus will have the greatest say in the subsequent distribution of power. โ
"Looks like you've figured it out." Angel was completely calm, and her eyes opened again, calm as water.
"Your Majesty, it is obvious that the final decisive battle will definitely take place in Warsaw, and whoever can occupy it one step earlier will have the initiative in the decisive battle."
"Then let's set it up. I'll leave tomorrow...... Royal Driver's Expedition. โ
