"I heard you've been in some trouble lately?"

Tang Ansong asked: Recently, because of the space program, there have been some turmoil in the United States, and these turmoil may not seem big, but they will have a great impact on the administration of the new president. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Stanley said bitterly: "Yes, those bigwigs in Congress are full of criticism of our plan, if it weren't for President Barack and the top brass of the Senate and House of Representatives, it is estimated that those people in Congress would have turned the sky upside down." ”

In addition to Congress, the American people also have a disapproving attitude towards the government's actions, and various "welfare, not planning" demonstrations have emerged one after another, expressing their demands in different ways.

"I need help!" Stanley revealed what he meant.

"How do you need help from the Chinese side?" Tang Ansong asked, he understood Stanley's distress, in fact, not to mention the United States, even he was facing great pressure at home.

After all, there are only a few people who know the truth, and such a large-scale space program is indeed a very big drag on the economy, even if China needs to use the space program to show its national strength, but this degree of display seems to be quite excessive, for which many party real power factions have begun to accuse him of being overjoyed, completely ignoring the domestic economy and people's livelihood, and may even provoke a conflict with the United States.

As he approached the transition year, Tang Ansong knew he had to find an ally who could help him share the pressure!

Stanley needs help, and why shouldn't he!

"Help me solve the problems in Congress, I need them to support my space program!" Stanley said categorically.

"You know, the president of the United States is not so easy to be, to put it nicely, I am the head of state of the United States, the commander-in-chief of the three armed services, but the actual situation is not so simple, when I am in line with the interests of the vast majority of domestic conglomerates, I am naturally the president of the power, but if I do not conform to the interests of those conglomerates, to put it mildly, none of my policies and decrees will be approved by Congress!"

Tang Ansong was silent, he understood Stanley's difficulty, the difference between China and the United States is not only manifested in the system, but whether or not the top leader can be directly elected is the biggest difference between China and the United States? Wildly wrong, in fact, China also has a political reform plan for direct elections, but this is not the biggest difference between China and the United States! Could it be that if the title is changed to the president, and a direct election is added, is it democratic?

The real difference lies in how the groups that hold state power are constituted.

In the United States, capital is embedded in politics, and the bigwigs in the US Congress are basically representatives of capital, and this pattern has been formed, making the country's policies more inclined to the direction of capital, and all countries have corruption, and the problem in the United States is actually the corruption of big capital, or the social contradictions brought about by the endless predatory expansion of big capital in its nature.

In their theory of social construction, the government is assumed to be the big devil at the beginning, and the government is at best a steward, a long-term worker or a eunuch, and it is better to leave nothing at all and let capital expand freely, while the real master, boss or emperor of the state is actually big capital, so there is very little corruption among their government officials, because from the beginning, the government is the executor of the grandfather of the Congress.

Those who are familiar with the history of the United States know that the 50 years after the United States experienced the War of Independence and the War of Reunification were its golden period of development, and at that stage, corruption emerged one after another in an endless stream, and it could not be stopped no matter how it was, compared with China after the reform and opening up, but after 50 years of rapid development, 90 percent of its corruption miraculously disappeared, and the remaining 10 percent simply legalized it because it could not be eliminated.

This is not because democracy has given officials greater scrutiny, which is of course one thing, but the bigger reason is that the accumulation of private capital has been completed, or in other words, the penetration of capital into politics has been basically completed. When the administrators have to obey them, do they still need to bribe them to open up the net?

In China, the situation is completely different, first of all, Chinese society has been a humane society since ancient times, although it has been advocating the so-called rule of law, but in fact, the concept of reasonable and legal law is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Chinese people have always pursued a sense of fairness, not suffering from widowhood but suffering from inequality, and attach great importance to whether a thing is fair and just, which is the embodiment of the fairness consciousness of the law of reason.

At the same time, because of the pursuit of fairness and the rebellious mentality of "my life is up to me", everyone wants to have the power to determine "whether it is fair or not", so China is a power society. Its composition makes power the highest interest, and after the growth of private capital, capital is eager to get a better soil for survival, so it will inevitably try to expand its own space by combining with power.

However, in all dynasties of China, whether it was the period of imperial power or the period of New China, they all firmly pursued a basic national policy, that is, the policy of "society first", that is, social stability as the first priority. Any move that involves subverting the country and causing social unrest is the target of its attack.

Social stability is a kind of Datong ideology based on the concept of fairness, and in the absence of supervision, the side effect is the solidification of the power class, but this power class solidification is intolerable to the imperial power and the people. The imperial power was worried about being threatened, and the civil rights were worried about being oppressed, so the civil rights believed in the imperial power, hoping that a saint would use the imperial power to suppress the solidification of the power class, but if the imperial power was powerless, the civil power would rebel, and the imperial power would be overthrown together to achieve a change of dynasty.

Different from the Datong idea that the supreme authorities hope for social stability, capital is a self-interested idea with the purpose of the individual, which makes the policies formulated at the top often contradict capital, but at the same time, due to the structure of the power society, capital cannot gain power, and a hundred capitalists can influence the US Congress, but cannot influence the Chinese Politburo, this is the reason!

Therefore, when capital cannot influence policy, then it prefers to combine with the executive layer (executor), and this process is called money and power trading in the eyes of the people, which is the most important manifestation of corruption. In this respect, the degree of corruption is, in a sense, a representation of the degree of contradiction between those in power or the interests of the state and the capitalists.

But it will be difficult to eliminate corruption unless everyone is under high surveillance, or if business owners and state officials are simply combined.

For all these reasons, Stanley's difficulty is that he is the head of the congressional election, and he has the name of the head of state, but the driving force of his power is the grandfathers in the congress. The reason why the United States chose the "electoral system" to produce a president is because they do not want an uncontrolled president! If the American people do elect a presidential candidate they don't like, they can eliminate him by producing "disloyal electors."

As mentioned above, China pursues a nationalism based on social stability, which has formed a pyramid power structure from the "county, city, and provincial local committees, **********, Politburo, and Standing Committee," with seven members in the Standing Committee, and in the absence of a "power core," it is tantamount to the ancient system of sub-feudal at the upper level.

Tang Ansong's intention to become the core and control the overall situation must be achieved by mastering the "Politburo", or even more simply abolishing the Standing Committee and implementing a "new Politburo system" headed by the chairman or the president, but these are not easy to achieve, so Tang Ansong's weakness actually lies in the incomplete control of the national political situation.

"I'm going to visit China the day after I am officially sworn in as president, and then we can talk about these issues in detail, I don't know if we can!" Stanley suggests.

"No problem at all, I'm very much looking forward to Mr. Stanley's arrival!" Tang Ansong immediately laughed.

"But now there are still about twenty days before you officially take the oath of office, and how to spend these few days needs to be weighed carefully!" As long as you don't officially take office, anything can happen.

"It's going to require some sacrifice on the part of President Barack...... Stanley said solemnly.

Tang Ansong was taken aback and reacted, "How did you arrange it?" ”

Stanley said: "China and the United States need a conflict!" ”

"U.S.-China conflict?" Tang Ansong's heart suddenly suddenly, and he had vaguely guessed Stanley's crazy thoughts.

"Yes, only if there is a conflict between China and the United States, I can be justified in Congress, and on your side, there will be a lot less pressure, and you and I, as future rulers, are not suitable to lead this conflict, so the most suitable person is President Barack."

"Before that, we need to ease the tensions that have formed between China and the United States and send a signal of peace to the outside world, so that President Tang's rule in China can bring benefits."

Tang Ansong nodded slightly, if the situation eases, it will indeed be beneficial to his administration.

"When the outside world feels that China and the United States have entered the honeymoon period again, it will be the outgoing President Barack who will make the 'wrong' decision and provoke a fierce conflict between the two countries! Of course, we need to control the level of conflict, and we must not really let the conflict turn into a war, and our goal is to fight without breaking it. ”

Tang Ansong nodded and said: "In this way, China and the United States will enter a planned 'new Cold War period', and then we will start to develop armaments and space programs under the guise of the Cold War, and there will be less resistance at home." That's a good idea! ”

"But then President Barack will have a great notoriety...... Stanley said lamentingly.

Tang Ansong also sighed: "When the dusty history is unraveled, maybe people will know the sacrifices he made for the entire human civilization at that time!" ”

"Sometimes when I think about it, I really envy the system of your country, at least the head of state has a considerable amount of power to carry out his ambitions."

Tang Ansong nodded: "Although our country also has various problems, and there will be constraints from real power figures at the same level, if it is coordinated and communicated, the implementation of the country's will does have a very obvious advantage." ”

"It's not good in our country, all kinds of systems have been fixed in the form of law, the system itself is self-interested, and it is already difficult to drive capital out of the decision-making level." Stanley said regretfully.

For some reason, Tang Ansong seemed to hear a different meaning from the young Stanley's tone.

He smiled: "Then Mr. Stanley, let's follow your plan and personally direct and act out a game that deceives the world." ”

"This requires Chairman Tang's patience and cooperation, by the way, the army must be controlled, I don't want the two countries to really break out into conflict because of misfire, after all, we are doing this now for the future of mankind!"

"Don't worry, I'm still very confident in the control of the army." Tang Ansong said confidently.

seemed to have a lot of envy for Tang Ansong's self-confidence, and Stanley laughed loudly: "Then let the world witness our superb acting skills!" ”
