"No, no, no, I don't need anything. For the election supervision committee, it would be better to ask Baron Smith to be the chief and select the members!"
When the argument between the two parties was extremely intense, Lu Ming said seriously.
In fact, the situation is also very obvious. The Ongshawat family and Apaiwang family from East Ferman, the "Freedom Army" in the inner sea, the remnants of the Chachai family in central and southern Ferman, etc. all support Phaya Lee in Antioch.
Kuala plays a greater role in the new power structure.
Not to mention the Central Asian people group.
Moreover, the troops directly controlled by Phraya Lee include the original Phraya Guards, which is the current Guards Brigade.
Other factions, the Basong family are still immersed in the grief of the tragic death of their leader.
The power of Northern Ferman is represented by Speaker Pamavinai, but because of his excessive behavior that temporarily lost his mind, Northern Ferman and the Basson family became mortal enemies.
Moreover, its military strength has just suffered setbacks and weakening.
The Surya family of Sieferman was completely neutral and remained stationary even during this short and brutal war. However, this made it necessary for no matter which side gained the upper hand to seriously consider the interests of the Surya family.
The Willow family, which controls the police system, is in a similar situation.
The Imperial Bank and Western businessmen were just spectators, and they did not want to get involved in these indigenous struggles as long as it did not harm their interests.
Although Congressman Bakun sounds happy, in fact the big drug lords are indeed powerful in military power, but if they ever try to get involved in the politics of the peninsula, all the families in the Fairman Peninsula will unite to resist.
Therefore, when Phaya Lee smiled, the next thing he said was, "What does Ascendant Island think of the situation on the peninsula?"
Representative Bakun's expression could not help but change slightly.
Asentrena Island is the largest poppy island in the inland sea. There are millions of residents on it who make a living by growing poppies.
"Mr. Phraya, we still have to rely on you for fair supervision of the general election!" Speaker Pamavinai said with a smile.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "I really don't have the energy. Moreover, I think having Baron Smith from the imperial capital to set up this supervisory committee can better reflect fairness and justice."
Pamavinai was slightly shocked. This guy really wanted to refuse. He didn't want to run for governor, right?
Chen Huanxing, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said: "Lord Phaya likes the free and easy life of a god, and he definitely doesn't like to deal with specific affairs. I have the most contact with Lord Phraya, and I understand this."
Lu Ming smiled and waved his hands and said: "What you said is correct, but I have some opinions on the power system of this state."
Pamavinai smiled and said: "Mr. Phaya, it doesn't matter if you say so!"
Lu Ming nodded: "Everyone knows that I am from the Principality of Montenegro. For example, in Antiguala, all parties have been fighting each other at every turn. In fact, in the final analysis, there is just a lack of a place to quarrel. The governor has too much power, who can do it?
There are too many members, and it is difficult to represent the balance of interests of all parties. So I personally think that in Antiguala, we should establish a system similar to the House of Lords in the Principality of Montenegro. We can call it
The House of Representatives, the Senate, etc. can be named whatever you want. The main thing is the role they play. The tribes and families represented by you can each have one senator in it. As the real authority of the state, if there are real differences, everyone will quarrel.
Voting and the balance of power are obvious at a glance. Without actually using force, everyone can know what the results will be after using force to resolve these differences. You can know the outcome without actually using force!" He said with a smile: "I
It sounds vulgar, but that’s what it means!”
Everyone nodded after hearing this,
Judge Chatissa was immersed in grief and didn't care at all.
Only Speaker Pamavinai frowned slightly. In this way, the most powerful side and the Basong family would inevitably suffer.
But when he looked at Judge Chatissa, he saw that Chatissa and the others were gnashing their teeth, wondering how they wanted to retaliate against themselves.
Pamavinai couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Over there, I heard Phaya Li continue: "The Senate mainly resolves major affairs of the state, most of which are peninsular affairs. Therefore, whether it is the Free Merchant Alliance of the Inland Sea or Representative Bakun, there is no need to enter.
There are also Middle-earth people, Grifenni people, etc., who are not the majority ethnic group, and there is no need to enter the Senate." He paused and looked around, "Look now, there are six senators, Speaker Parmawinai, Chatissa
The judge, Congressman Kunpa, Congressman Sugino, Congressman Long La and Director Willow can each nominate one person, of course, it seems better for you to serve directly!"
These represent the six most powerful tribal groups on the peninsula.
The Ferman people in the north, the Basong family in the south, the Onshava family and the Apaiwan family in the east, the Surya family in the west, and the Willow family in the center.
Speaker Pamavinai felt relieved when he heard that the size of the Senate was so small, and that all external forces were blocked. No people from Central China would have a quota. It seemed that this proposal was not bad, and it was indeed better than having to be elected.
Having one governor is more conducive to stability and eliminates the need for conflicts that almost always break out on the Fairman Peninsula during the general election period every ten years, with all parties flexing their muscles and competing for status.
"I propose that Mr. Phraya serve as the permanent Senate President to coordinate the affairs of the Senate." Representative Sugino said with a smile.
Lu Ming immediately waved his hand: "I think the position of Senate President should be rotated by each senator, rotating once a year, so that the balance of power can be maintained to the maximum extent."
Director Willow said: "Sir Phraya's proposal may really solve the chronic problems of our peninsula for hundreds of years. I also support Lord Phraya as the permanent Senate President. I hope that Lord Phraya can act from a neutral and objective perspective.
Bring fresh vitality to the development of the peninsula!”
There is no doubt that the Willow family has benefited the most. Its family was originally the weakest, but now it can achieve an equal status with other families in the most important center of power.
It's not just the Willow family, in fact, four families except the Northern Fairman Group and the Basson family have benefited.
Each of the four families individually was not as good as the Northern Fairman Group and the Basson family, but now they have the same right to speak.
Therefore, except for Speaker Pamavinai who remained silent, Judge Chatisak was in a state of long-term sadness and indignation.
The remaining four families are all trying to persuade Lu Ming to serve as the permanent Senate President.
But Lu Ming's refusal was obviously not an act. In the end, everyone had no choice but to insist on Lu Ming being the "permanent first senator". This "first senator" will be held by the Phaya family for generations.
Even Pamavinai felt that it was too unreasonable for him not to speak, so he tried to persuade him a few words.
After all, this Phraya Li represents the remaining power of Chachai and the interests of the people of Zhongzhou, and even seems to have the support of the forces in the inner sea.
The war situation changed the direction of the entire peninsula, and it was obvious that Phraya Lee played a big role in it.
What's more, if you want to say that you have to thank this Phraya Lee, otherwise, the foundation of our Northern Fairman Group may be destroyed by the Southern Allied Forces organized by Mayor Basong.
Although everyone is concerned about their own interests, all parties involved in the war later do not want to see a situation where one family dominates.
After everyone's persuasion, Lu Ming reluctantly agreed to be the "permanent first senator."
Representative Bakun's face became increasingly ugly.
Seeing the matter come to an end, Chen Huanxing said from the sidelines: "This war has also had a huge economic impact on Fairman. Many investors have lost confidence and even fled to other places. From an economic point of view, I think we should launch A major measure to boost the local economy and restore investor confidence!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Tell me about it?"
"How about turning Fairman City into a free trade port? Eliminate state taxes on all foreign goods!" Chen Huanxing's words were shocking. He further explained: "Our local area has no industry to speak of. The implementation of trade protection only makes the people The burden is increased and the factories of inefficient officials, large and small, are protected. In fact, Antiguala can completely abandon the industrial development route and pursue the tertiary industry..."
Chen Huanxing explained what the tertiary industry is and talked endlessly.
Lu Ming picked up the tea cup and drank water. In fact, in his previous life, this was the proper comprador route. Moreover, from the perspective of a Mi Tai person, Chen Huanxing was a super foreign comprador.
But for Antiguala, it may not be the only way. After all, it is not an independent country, and it may not be necessary to focus on its own advantages.
Chen Huanxing even proposed to train Mi Tai servants on a large scale to work in other provinces.
However, in fact, no matter what route, it is difficult to develop according to the current political and economic model of Antiguala. Chen Huanxing’s priority is also the interests of the Central Asian people.
…
On September 25, all parties in Antiguara issued a joint statement.
The main content is that the state has formed the highest authority-the Senate.
Most of the powers of the governor and the original assembly are now exercised by the Senate.
The Senate will appoint officials at all levels of the state executive office, which is the executive agency of the state.
The new mayor of Fairman will also be appointed by the Senate.
The state's general election next month will mainly elect members of the House of Representatives.
Baron Smith from the imperial capital will organize a supervisory committee to supervise the entire election process.
Fellman City is planned as a free trade port.
etc.
…
Lu Ming received an angry phone call from Schmidt, the representative director of "Punk Trade" on the afternoon of the 25th.
If Fairman City will become a free trade port, then the Emerald Island will obviously become an abandoned island. The 100 million yuan investment in "Punk Trade" has been completely wasted, and the attempt to take the opportunity to contact Baron Smith is out of the question. rise.
In fact, Lu Ming had transferred the 100 million yuan to the Special Work Department of the Western Regions, which was used as special funds to support local friendly city-states and fight against the expansion of the city-state alliance supported by the "Punk Trade" in the Western Regions.
Under Schmidt's fierce criticism, Lu Ming just said helplessly: "I didn't expect that either, Mr. Schmidt."
Schmidt seemed to suddenly calm down, "You will pay the price! The punk trade is not something you can mock at will."
"I'm really sorry, I really didn't expect..." Before Lu Ming could finish his words, "beep beep beep", the other party had already hung up the phone.
