Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cuba Divided Again
For the Republic of Cuba, this is almost a dead end, without a navy, they simply do not dare to transport a large army by water, as long as the land is cut off, the whole is cut off.
But instead of waiting to be destroyed, they gathered everyone who could speak to discuss what to do next.
It is a pity that the top leaders of the Republic were sugar factory owners, coffee merchants, and cigar tycoons before they became the leaders of the country...... Anyway, as long as you are willing to contribute to the cause of the republic, you can find an official position.
These people are good at business, but they don't have the ability to make strategic decisions.
In general, democracies will try to elect an experienced politician when they hold elections, and even if they accidentally elect businessmen, they also have a mature political system that has been in operation for a long time.
However, the leaders of the Republic of Cuba are laymen among laymen, and there are no reliable politicians and generals under their command, and since the founding of the country, there has been no cessation of conflicts of power and unclear jurisdiction.
Normally, it's okay, but when it comes to today's existential crisis, all kinds of shortcomings are exposed.
In particular, they also have a parliamentary system, and many people in Kamaha are either members of the upper house or the lower house, either the lower house or the city, and even other city councillors who come to work.
These legislators usually have titles such as director of the local joint defense bureau, homeland security adviser, and president of the Cuban Renaissance Association.
Even if there is no specific terms of reference, these identities alone can more or less dictate national affairs.
The most outrageous thing is that as a democracy, President De's Deses can't get rid of them, because they really gave them these posts.
The words of government officials who peddled these positions – "they have a significant impact on Cuba's future and require only a small donation" – are still ringing in the ears today.
DeSaith now just wants to go back in time and veto the plan of "making money for nothing" put forward by the chancellor.
If he could, he even felt that he shouldn't have chosen a fucked democracy in the first place, wasn't the Cuban Empire fragrant?
However, it is too late, and the need to drive people out now will only make the people lose their faith in their democracy and deprive them of their only advantage.
Not only did they not dare to drive people out, but the government even set up tables and stools in the square to provide for the councillors who had been squeezed out of the town hall.
In this way, time passed quietly in the quarrel of the people, and during this time, the Second and Fifth Armies had consolidated their defensive lines in the province of Holguin, and at any moment a large-scale war of annihilation could be launched, and a sword was already hanging over the neck of the republic......
"Enough, we have to act now!" In the conference room on the third floor of the city hall, Marceo slapped the table and shouted angrily.
This is not the first time he has slapped the table, but the first two times he was blocked by the hesitant crowd.
This time the crowd was no longer so entangled, and it was clear that they were tired of the endless bickering, and all the negotiations and efforts proved to be ineffective.
"But every general has different ideas about how to act, and we can't bypass parliament to reform the state system."
One person asked everyone's thoughts, and the confusion about the future is also one of the reasons why the republic wastes time.
If you do more wrong, do less wrong, and don't do well, you have chosen a wrong route at this time, and you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history in the future.
Do you really want to overthrow the founding spirit of the republic? No one dares to take this responsibility.
Hearing this, Marceo looked at Desais, the president, who has aged more than ten years in the past few days, is still silent.
He could only retract his gaze in disappointment and look around: "The failed strategic decisions in the past, the corpses of the rear defense personnel, I won't mention it, the past is in the past." ”
"The most important thing now is to bring the country into a wartime system, and if we do not mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, how can we use small to make a big difference, and how can we fight for national liberation?
We can no longer be constrained by Parliament, and I propose that the President introduce the Emergency Act and immediately organize the staff in the east. ”
At this time, someone weakly reminded me: "Legislation must also be passed in parliament." ”
Maceio glared at the man, do you still need to say this?
"It would be nice for the president to just enact the Emergency Law and pass it during the state of emergency."
Everyone is stupid, isn't this an egg-and-chicken operation, can you still do this.
In fact, everyone knows the importance of this bill, and democracies will basically have a similar bill.
However, the legal structure of Cuba is still far from perfect, because the main purpose of this bill is to allow the president to declare war and mobilize troops in an emergency, and the Republic of Cuba has been at war since birth, and no one has thought of this.
When the need arises, it can only be passed temporarily.
Desaith finally spoke: "Okay, after the meeting, I will send someone to draft the bill, and it can be officially put into operation tomorrow at the latest, what do you want to do specifically?" ”
Seeing the president's support, Maceo breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's where our executive orders are issued, and now it's cut off from each other, and the flow of information is extremely slow.
I plan to go through the Spanish-controlled zone and organize a confrontation there, which needs to be backed up by legitimacy. He said frankly that he would say that he would tear the country apart and weaken the current regime.
Some have already cast angry and suspicious glances.
"I agreed, go to the east, you can decide anything, and if we surrender, you can continue to resist." Unexpectedly, Desaith agreed to the idea.
He is a capitalist, he has the mindset of a businessman, and like the people below, his idea is that independence does not achieve autonomy, and autonomy does not achieve a good price.
This is also the reason why the people below oppose the secession of the country.
But Desaith believes that negotiating now and signing an alliance under the city will inevitably not lead to any good results.
Only by allowing Cuba to continue fighting will he be able to retain his value.
If the Republic of Cuba is really destroyed quickly, it will be nothing more than a prisoner awaiting trial.
In the face of colonial uprisings, European countries have always been unrelenting.
"President!" "Desaith!"
Some exclaimed, in their opinion, that rather than split the Republic of Cuba into two States, it would be better to sell it now.
This is the difference in position, now that the negotiations are made, Spain may let go of these accomplices, but it will never let go of Desais, the main culprit.
"Don't talk about it." Desaith's tough words suppressed the opposing voices: "In the east, the management between cities is extremely loose, no one can say the same, and without a unified command, the army has no combat effectiveness."
If this continues, we will collapse ourselves without Spain to fight. ”
At the end he added, "Anyone who wants to go over there can go there." ”
There was silence in the conference room, crossing the Spanish-controlled zone? If you catch it, you will die, they don't dare anyway.
