Chapter 31: Stockholm Syndrome
In the run-up to the election, the situation was calm throughout the country, and the interim government of Donia even allowed the United Nations to send observers to monitor the situation at polling stations.
At 7 a.m. on January 3, the general election for Donia officially began, and voters in Donia lined up at about 50,000 polling stations to vote for members of the National Assembly of the Republic, local governments and local councillors.
Zhang Sheng also went to a polling station to see the excitement, after all, he had never seen the election of national leaders by the people.
At the polling station, not far from the No. 3 Public Hospital, Zhang Sheng saw a long line of voters, and after voting, the little finger of the voter's left hand was painted with a blue mark to indicate that he had cast his ballot.
Judging from the talk of voters, it seems that most of the residents of the Doniago metropolitan area are in favor of the reorganized Democratic Party.
The results announced by the National Election Commission on January 6 were not unexpected, with the Democratic Party winning 317 of the 4oo seats in the National Assembly, winning the general election by an overwhelming margin and allowing for the formation of a separate government.
According to Donia's electoral law, a new parliament will be formed within 30 days of the results of the election.
But because it was the first parliament to come to power in Donia in forty years, the parliament was formed very quickly, and the appointment of a new government was soon approved, and an economics professor at the University of Doniago was appointed prime minister of the new government.
In fact, judging from the composition of the new cabinet, the so-called democratically elected government and the previous military junta are nothing more than a change of medicine.
......
In the evening, Zhang Sheng was invited to Ambassador Sun's study again.
Ambassador Sun sighed and talked about how unpleasant it was to talk about the meeting with the new Prime Minister of Donia, Kikwete.
Zhang Sheng could tell that Prime Minister Kikwete was very scholarly and spoke of public opinion in everything, and even told Ambassador Sun that the mining project originally signed with China should be re-examined, and the consent of the local residents should be obtained, and the local residents should vote on whether the project should be carried out.
Because most of the local residents are worried that the project will cause local environmental pollution.
Zhang Sheng sipped tea, literati governance is like this, a university professor without any political experience, hot-blooded, too idealistic, although admirable, but in foreign relations do not know how to be flexible, sooner or later the head will break the bloodstream.
"This project still needs to be promoted by Mrs. Adeye, and I will strive to create an opportunity for the ambassador and Mrs. Adeye to meet again. Zhang Sheng also knew in his heart why Ambassador Sun invited him to come.
"Good, good. Ambassador Sun smiled and nodded.
......
What Zhang Sheng did not expect was that the meeting between Ambassador Sun and Mrs. Adeye was nominated by the Presidential Secretariat to hope that he would also participate.
Zhang Sheng naturally refused Mrs. Adeye's behavior of not playing cards according to the rules, but Ambassador Sun was obviously not surprised, some of the more absurd behaviors of the African dollar have been seen, what is this small request of the Donia Presidential Palace?
In this way, Zhang Sheng was fortunate to attend the meeting between Ambassador Sun and Mrs. Adeye.
The meeting between the two was held in a relatively private reception room at the president's residence, and the topic was relaxed without reporters.
Mrs. Adeye was wearing a light gray dress and skirt, clean and capable, with a different kind of bright color, but it was a surprise to Zhang Sheng, obviously the current Mrs. Adeye was by no means a black-bellied stunner when dealing with herself.
Zhang Sheng sat silent, but the discussion between Ambassador Sun and Mrs. Adeye fell on his ears.
Speaking of the Chinese-invested mine project that Prime Minister Kikwete wants to put on hold for the time being, Mrs. Adeye smiled: "We will definitely listen to the people's opinions, but please rest assured that Ambassador Sun will also do a good job of publicity work to let the local people know how important this project is to them." ”
Obviously, she was very experienced and would never override the Prime Minister's opinion, but she gave Ambassador Sun a promise that she would do her best to make it happen.
Zhang Sheng listened beside him, and sighed softly in his heart, although according to the Donia Constitution, the president is only a virtual state president, but depending on the situation, he is afraid that the military and political power of Donia will still fall into the hands of this woman in the end.
What is the constitution of such a country? It can be amended at any time to give the president more powers.
The powerful neighbor in the north of my motherland, which claims to be a democratic system and a big Eurasian country, seems to be enlightened, but doesn't it often do this? Not to mention these African countries?
At the end of the meeting, Mrs. Adeye smiled and asked Ambassador Sun if she could stay with Dr. Zhang for a while, because she was unwell and although she had taken Dr. Zhang's medicine to recuperate, she still had some questions.
Ambassador Sun naturally smiled and agreed, and several questions were answered satisfactorily, and Ambassador Sun was extremely satisfied with the results of the meeting.
After Ambassador Sun left, Mrs. Adeye said to Zhang Sheng and went for a walk in the garden.
Zhang Sheng had no choice but to agree, and said in his heart that it would be up to you to do something.
In the garden of the president's residence, the lampposts are shining, the flowers are full of flowers, and a turquoise river of flowing water winds through the garden under the street lamp, and I don't know where to go.
Walking along the river, Mrs. Adeye did not squeak for a long time.
Zhang Sheng didn't speak, just followed her.
Approaching a bench by the river, Madame Adeye sat down slowly, and made another gesture, and several maids with melons and fruit drinks behind her bowed down and retreated into the distance.
Zhang Sheng sat down beside her, there was no lamppost here, and in the dark shadow of the mansion, she could look at the starry sky.
Zhang Sheng nodded slightly and said, "The air in Africa after the rain is very good, and the stars in the sky look more than in our country, and they are brighter than in our country. ”
Mrs. Adeye was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "When you first met me, you didn't expect that I would become the president of Donia today, right?"
Zhang Sheng nodded slightly and said, "When you first saw me, you probably didn't expect today. He listened to Mrs. Adeye's words and felt that the wonder of the world was indeed unpredictable.
But his words changed in the ears of Mrs. Adeye, who bit her red lip and said, "I didn't expect you to be so bad!"
Zhang Sheng was silent, and said in his heart, can anyone be more ruthless and worse than you? But in this situation, I don't want to provoke a war again, and I will return to China in a few days, so there is no need to annoy her and cause trouble, not to mention that if you think about it, most of Mrs. Adeye's net worth has been ******** by herself, and she has actually taken a big advantage in her.
"Will you return to China at the end of this month?" asked Mrs. Adeye suddenly.
Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send the antidote on time." ”
Mrs. Adeye fell silent again, and after a while said, "I believe in you. ”
These words made Zhang Sheng stunned, and glanced sideways at Mrs. Adeye, and then he felt that his current relationship with her was so strange, he was originally a life-and-death rival, how could he sit on a bench and watch the stars? This is what only lovers do.
Moreover, Mrs. Adeye's appearance is also strange, it can't be Stockholm syndrome, right? Frightened by herself, she began to have a good impression and dependence on herself as the perpetrator.
