When this idea was brought up by the people from Yi Se Lie, Liu Fu was so frightened that he quickly called the mathematician Prime Minister from Yi Se Lie. He finally persuaded them to commit suicide. If Yi Se Lie went there at this time,
If it touches the Sinai Peninsula, then the British will definitely rush over like crazy and kill the heterochromatic people, because there is another lifeline for Britain, the Suez Canal.
This sudden financial crisis not only severely hit industrially developed countries such as Britain, the United States, France and the South, but also caused some changes in the world situation that had been calm. As the country that was hardest hit, the United States gradually gave up its long-standing "
In line with the principle of "free trade", it also began to set up various trade barriers to protect its domestic factories and enterprises, and set its sights on the nearest South American countries and began to actively save itself.
In addition to strengthening trade protection, Britain and France also made full use of their vast colonial territories and began to pass on the pain caused by the economic crisis. Germany and Italy neither have the geographical advantages of the United States, nor do they have as many colonies as Britain and France.
We can only sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of the economic crisis, with no choice.
The South China Sea Federation has firmly held on to its market share in Southeast Asia, and has also used the less injured countries such as Turkey and the Soviet Union to barely maintain domestic industrial production. As these major countries have begun to look beyond
The world has received domestic help. Since 1930, the world situation has been like the world trade situation after the outbreak of the economic crisis. It has been in depression. Everyone is busy healing themselves, and no one can care about maintaining world peace.
In this case, Liu Fu was at leisure. The planning and formulation of economic policies was not his strong point, and he was unwilling to intervene. He just let each department fiddle with it according to their procedures and rules. By 1931
, Liu Fu will be 60 years old and has already entered the ranks of the elderly. Although his body is well maintained, age is not forgiving and his energy is far less than before.
Liu Fu has been in this position for 36 years since he became president in 1895. He has watched this country grow from scratch and from weak to strong. He is actually very satisfied with himself. 36 years, almost a
Half of a person's life,
Under his leadership, the Federation has become one of the top three powers in the world. Now no country dares to point fingers at the South China Sea Federation. If Liu Fu died at this time, he would not feel wronged because he worked hard. And
It's almost a success.
He doesn't feel wronged but feels regretful because the current South China Sea Federation is not the country in his mind. In Liu Fu's mind, a country is not only the land area and population, but also the gross national product, the level of scientific and technological development, and military strength.
Indicators, and a country's political system are also important criteria to measure whether a country is advanced. In Liu Fu's view, the first several items are considered the country's hardware, while the latter one is the country's software. Now the South China Sea Federation is in terms of hardware and
There are still deficiencies in the software.
From a hardware point of view, the Federation's technological development and economic status are already very good, and its military strength is also passable. However, the Federation's land area is still lacking. Liu Fu often looks at the large map hanging on the wall in his office.
, according to his instructions, the land belonging to the South China Sea Federation on this map was dyed red. Whenever he saw this fragmented red, he would inevitably feel a little regretful in his heart, because among those fragmented red fragments
Under the block, there is a large round land that has not yet turned red.
According to Liu Fu's understanding, the current territorial situation of the South China Sea Federation is not very good. Although the area is not small, it is too fragmented. They are all islands one by one. It is very troublesome to build and even more laborious to manage. Liu Fu's
The ultimate goal is to occupy the entire Australia and pull out the last big nail lying around, so that the South China Sea Federation can be called the overlord of Southeast Asia. In these years, under his leadership, the Federation has been silently moving towards
Progress towards this ultimate goal.
From a software perspective, Liu Fu's regret is greater. Although the South China Sea Federation currently advertises itself as a federal country, it is actually a dictatorship under the cloak of democracy. When the Federation was officially founded, although it was also established
He established the National Congress as a legislative body, but Liu Fu never officially opened this important institution. This was not because he wanted to continue to be a dictatorship, but because there was no such soil in the federation at that time.
At that time, the Federation had just been established, and most of the territory had just been seized from Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries. More than half of the population was from other ethnic groups, and their education levels were not high. They had a low sense of identification with the federal government. In addition,
Having been colonized for many years, they have basically no idea of demanding a fairer, more equal, and more transparent government in their minds. Their only request for the government is to hope that this new ruler can make everyone have enough to eat and live in peace and stability.
At present, this situation has changed a lot. In the past 20 years, the federal government has been committed to strengthening national education and ethnic integration. Under very strong policies, after these years of efforts, nearly 200 ethnic groups in the federal country have been basically integrated.
Integrated, and most of those ethnic groups and individuals who resisted federal policies and were eliminated in various ways. Liu Fu was not lenient at all in this regard.
20 years is basically 2 to 3 generations. If a person has been educated in Chinese and English since birth, his peers in kindergarten and school may look and be of a different ethnicity than him, but they speak the same language.
, what we eat and what we write are the same, then
After this child grows up, it will be difficult for him to identify with his original ethnic group. Moreover, the federal government has also adopted harsh methods of mixing and strictly erasing the written language, history, culture, and even clothing of each ethnic group. In addition, on the identity certificate
There is only place of residence and no ethnicity.
So now, the federal residents after the second belt are already unfamiliar with the word nation. These new generations are concerned about how to find better jobs, how to live in big houses and drive good cars, and no one anymore
To care about your original ethnic group, because this is rarely seen and used in the federation.
The only people who still retain this vocabulary and ideas are the old people, but their influence is obviously not as strong as the state machine. As the new generation grows up and the older generation dies, eventually the word nation will be in the federal government.
It has been erased from the dictionary, and there will only be one kind of South China Sea Federation person in the future: South China Sea Federation people.
Before thoroughly implementing this policy, Liu Fu could not activate the Congress as an institution because many of the policies currently adopted by the federal government are illegal. However, not activating does not mean giving up. In these years, local officials from various places to
The elections of people's representatives are going on as scheduled. All officials at county and city levels are elected by local residents, while officials in various departments of the federal government are appointed by Liu Fu himself. This kind of government is like three types of government.
The political systems are mixed together, making it very troublesome to implement.
However, troubles are troubles, and they still have to be implemented. The transition from a dictatorship to a parliamentary system cannot be completed in one step. As far as the actual situation of the South China Sea Federation is concerned, a step-by-step transition is safer. Liu Fu plans to make the transition this year.
The power to approve the fiscal budget is also returned to the Congress, but there will be a restriction, that is
It is the federal president who has the final say. That is to say, if the congress fails to pass a certain financial budget according to the procedures, Liu Fu can still make a decision and pass it if he feels it is necessary. However, Liu Fu will try to control himself and not interfere too much with the congress.
operation, allowing it to play the balancing role it should play to the greatest extent.
According to Liu Fu's own understanding, a system of separation of powers like the one in the United States in later generations is better called a compromise system than a democratic system. The essence of it is not fairness, democracy, and freedom, but compromise and the relationship between people.
Compromise, compromise between groups of people, compromise between the people and the government, political parties and political parties
Compromise between parties, in that kind of extreme decentralization of power, no one among the people, the government, and the political parties can gain an overwhelming advantage, so if you want to do anything, all stakeholders must sit together
, we slowly discussed and finally came up with a plan acceptable to everyone. (To be continued...)
