Thank you for coming. We welcome your investment. Your people will receive the best treatment in this world. Of course, in terms of safety, you still need to be more careful."
At the New National Assembly, after the Speaker finished his speech, the audience applauded.
On the conference table next to it was the contract that had just been signed.
The "Package Agreement on Progressive Cooperation between the Eastern Kingdom and the Land of Dawn" includes a series of contents such as "tourism", "investment", and "national treatment".
The most core thing is probably the so-called open tourism content, or the "comprador contract" in this name.
“If the borders are opened to an unlimited extent, and you can obtain national status when you come in, you can have free currency exchange, and unlimited investment liberalization, then it’s clear that you don’t care about anything and give up most of your sovereignty, can it be counted as a ‘tourist’?”
It was an eye-opener for Lu Ping'an. These professional political officers indeed have two skills.
When a very sensitive and important matter must be passed through legislation, but as low-key as possible, how should we deal with it?
"Create a new title, use a hot spot to stun everyone, and then use the key content and sensitive content as additional regulations, and the supplementary provisions will be passed quickly."
Most people only read the introduction when reading news or commenting on articles. They don’t need to read more of the text. In this era, it is impossible to access the full text online. You can only apply to the professional department to view it.
Unless you have the ability and leisure to directly request the original documents from the parliament, it is impossible to see those supplementary clauses. Even if news breaks out, most of the world's first-line news media are in the hands of people from the East.
Dongguo people have suffered too much in this regard and have learned this trick. As far as Lu Ping'an knows, some scattered media are now being acquired by Dongguo people.
"Tens of millions of tourist visas, it's a shame they can think of it"
In fact, even this tourist visa (ID card) was issued by the official side of East China, and it was not even kept on file in New Zealand.
Once you land, you will have the status of a citizen of the new country, and you will have all the benefits you deserve. This was what Ms. Lin had negotiated with the new country before, and now it has only been further implemented. The original negotiators never expected that they would suddenly go from tens of thousands to
When the scale reaches tens of millions, the nature has completely changed.
But with the scale reaching this point, it would be unjustifiable to introduce a large-scale tax exemption, so this aspect was discussed again.
The tax system is the same as that of ordinary citizens here. It is not a good thing to have double standards here. It is equivalent to planting a bomb of racial conflicts but you can get tax exemptions and tax reductions.
Some lords still enjoy substantial tax reductions within a certain period of time. Of course, that is not what the document says. What the document says is that "the tax amount can be deducted by investing in national infrastructure construction and national welfare."
To put it simply, the lord can build bridges, roads, power plants, and schools in his territory, and the investment amount will be treated as taxes.
Sound familiar? This is really not Lu’s original creation. Many people on Earth do this, but they do it even more excessively.
This means that as long as the lords continue to invest in the construction of their territories, they can not pay taxes to the capital. The reason why the capital does not object is that they could not collect taxes in the first place, but now they can pay more or less.
"Let's go."
Lu Pingan chose to leave. With his current status, he no longer had much need to interfere in these specific matters.
He just came over to take a look at the situation and confirm the work ability of these people. As long as they don't do too badly, Lu Ping An will not say anything. Judging from the current results, these outsiders are the experts in administration, and Lu Ping An will not do anything.
Feel at ease.
He also has some more important things. Now that he has learned about the "future", he naturally has to make arrangements in advance.
"Lulu, be prepared, you will be in charge within half a year."
The process of going to the military academy again was quite smooth. Those students would even take the initiative to say hello when they saw Lu Ping'an. After all, this "specially hired teacher" not only came more frequently, but also the open class on the introduction to the battlefield that he occasionally attended was full every time.
.
"I see."
"Uh, why don't you ask?"
"I'm not blind. People in the council have told me, and Lin Nu's allies have also urged me several times. The front line is too bad and we can't continue to waste it like this."
Lu Lu put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her eyebrows. In the past six months since she became the principal, she felt like she had aged ten years.
The expected counterattack has already happened, and the worst thing about a counterattack is that no one can feel its existence.
Counterattack? If so.
The current military minister is already pretty good. He has absorbed the experience of his predecessors. Although his position is high, the people he can dispatch are actually his own people, and what he can actually do is quite limited.
The New Kingdom has always been a shell. Warlords in various places still control their own power. All tributaries of the Salvation Army are seizing time to develop. They lack the motivation to counterattack and fill in the lines.
This does not mean that they refuse the call of the military headquarters to form a frontline brigade, which can be fully or even overstretched and fully armed, or it can be half a battalion of slave soldiers.
These days, there is no shortage of labor force. As long as you have money to buy some cannon fodder, you can imagine the power those "warlords" can use.
It's not that there is no way to break it, it's still quite "feudal" here. When the "royal power" has enough reputation and has achieved enough achievements, the "knights and lords" will naturally be obedient, otherwise they will have to bear the consequences of being disloyal.
cost.
But now, successive military ministers are trapped in this endless cycle. He needs performance and reputation to gain the obedience of his subordinates, and only by winning the front line can he obtain these. The problem is that the front line cannot win now, and there must be something else.
Only the obedience and dedication of subordinates can turn things around.
This is not without a way to break the situation. The military minister personally leads the team or his close associates to fight and win some battles in a row. Then he can snowball victory and get more support and reinforcements. As he fights, he will naturally become a winner.
De facto military controller.
It's not that there is absolutely no way out, but the prerequisite is that he is strong enough and dares to risk his life. And in the past six months, all parties have been restrained, so the ability of the military minister who came to power is quite subtle.
It is a taboo for generals to be greedy for merit and cherish life for small gains. They may be strong or excellent battlefield commanders, but they are obviously not qualified to be commanders.
On the contrary, the reputation of Lu Lu, who had retired at the beginning, has become more and more high and has produced four military academy committee members. Those high-quality grassroots and middle-level commanders have indeed changed the situation on the battlefield. When all parties are sluggish, she is always there.
Doing your own contribution is strengthening the strength of the entire army.
And this comparison has not been buried.
In the media controlled by the Dongguo people, her contribution is expanding day by day, and people have long called for her to return to power (Lu really has no money in this regard, and he feels that it is not time).
"Is it time?" Lulu was still a little hesitant and opened the bow without turning back.
"Of course. Help has arrived, and it's time to launch a real major counterattack." It would be really difficult to miss this opportunity. It is impossible for the Dongguo people to give this "credit" to outsiders.
"They can still do well even if I'm not here." This step was still difficult for Lulu to take.
It's not that she doesn't dare to fight anymore, or that she's satisfied with the situation on the front line, but she's not willing to give up casually on the military academy side.
"Then, this achievement may belong to him. If he secures his position with this achievement, are you sure you will let a mediocre and coward become the top military commander and let him control the life and death of frontline soldiers?"
"Okay, give me some time to handle the school work."
"Don't worry, a group of active-duty officers from the Eastern Kingdom will come over to serve as instructors. They will greatly enhance the quality of grassroots commanders."
"I'm getting more and more uneasy."
Lulu sighed, she seemed to have no other choice.
I hope your choice will not be wrong.
The next day, all major media simultaneously reported the frontline defeat, "corruption," "logistical inadequacy," and "no rescue for injuries and illnesses" with overwhelming negative news. All contradictions were ultimately directed at the military.
