Earth Era - v2 Chapter 429

“Protests, popular riots, and even armed resistance are all superficial. At a deeper level, these economic reform policies will seriously divide our society, recreate different classes, and because the tax is too heavy, the people In addition to three meals a day, and the most basic leisure and entertainment, they will not have the rest of the energy to create more value, which also means that the channel for the rise of the class will be blocked. Wu Wei, you know that this means what?”

“Of course I know, but I don’t think it’s set in stone. You should also know that the policy tilt is just a stopgap measure, and once this crisis is over, everything will return to the way it was. I’d like to ask you, Minister Han, If our civilization were to die out right here, what’s the value of your high welfare, high mobility, and everything you think is good?”

“Taking more moderate means to reform the economy does not mean that our civilization will be extinct here, you are confusing concepts. I have specially convened scientists to discuss this, and they concluded that 40% of the investment will certainly Accelerate the emergence of scientific breakthroughs, but 20 percent, or less, doesn’t mean we can’t have breakthroughs before extinction.”

“It’s really just a matter of probability. I agree with you. So, do you think it’s a good deal to trade a higher risk of civilization extinction for economic and social stability?”

“Yes or not, this requires another discussion, but do you know that once the stratum is locked and vested interest groups appear, they will inevitably gradually erode the government and eventually seize the power, thus becoming the most staunch supporters of the current system? Do you mean that changing the system can change it? Your so-called economic reform plan will inevitably be poisonous, and even our civilization may not be destroyed by natural disasters, but may be destroyed by civil strife.”

“Minister Han, I don’t think alarmism and grandstanding have any value here.”

…

A serious meeting attended by all the high-level human government officials almost became a debate between Han Luochang and Wu Wei. It seems that not only Wu Wei, but also Han Luochang have been fully prepared for this.

Wu Wei was the figure that Shen Qingyuan pushed to the front, but Shen Qingyuan didn’t know whether there were other forces behind Han Luochang.

It seems that because Han Luo often listed all the reasons that can be refuted, no one else in the conference room came to speak again. People just followed the ideas of Han Luochang and Wu Wei, constantly thinking and recording.

The debate between the pros and cons was doomed to be lengthy and cumbersome, and no one could convince the other until more than an hour later. The scene seemed to be evenly matched, but Shen Qingyuan knew that the situation had begun to turn against him.

The reason is very simple, he is the head of state. And people are well aware of their inclinations. Under such circumstances, being silent and refusing to express a position is actually already expressing a position.

“Maybe I was too impatient. I didn’t get enough supporters and power, so I took the initiative to raise this issue.” Shen Qingyuan sighed secretly in his heart: “But I don’t have time to wait anymore.”

If in normal times, such a significant reform will be slowly brewing, with a lot of propaganda and adjustments, it will not be proposed until there is a certain basis for public opinion. And this time is very likely to be as long as thirty years, or even fifty years. And now, it has only been less than half a month since the idea appeared and was actually discussed at the meeting.

The fact that the current stalemate can occur is actually due to his long-standing prestige. If the other heads of state are changed, I am afraid that the proposal will be rejected by unanimous voices.

Shen Qingyuan knew that the longer he dragged on, the worse the situation would be for him. Now, it’s time to decide.

“Let’s start voting.”

Under normal circumstances, meetings of this level would last anywhere from a few hours to several days. Various opinions will be fully put forward, various characters will take turns to speak, supplemented by various private communication, coordination, compromise, etc., and finally a decision will be made at the meeting. But Shen Qingyuan has the power to break or change the agenda of the meeting. Because he is the head of state.

People looked at Shen Qingyuan in amazement, and even Wu Wei was puzzled. In the original plan, after Wu Wei, there were several other heavyweights who supported his side to appear, but now it seems that they may not have the chance to appear.

The results of the vote will be forthcoming. There were 169 votes against, 129 supporters, and 8 abstentions. No votes were in the majority.

Shen Qingyuan slowly raised his head, his eyes full of irresistible majesty.

“The votes in favor are 42.15%. The votes against are 55.22%. The votes against are the majority. But the votes in favor have exceeded 40%. According to the government regulations, As head of government, I have the power to force an agenda through when it has more than 40 percent support.”

The huge conference room was immediately so quiet that a needle could be heard falling. At this moment, both supporters and opponents looked at Shen Qingyuan in shock, as if they were looking at a lunatic.

It is indeed stipulated in the government charter, and this is indeed the power possessed by the head of state. However, which head of state will really use this power? Doesn’t he know what that means?

After the establishment of the existing system, in history, no head of state has used this power.

When the opponents occupy the majority, it must mean that different stakeholders have not yet reached a compromise. Even if such a policy is promulgated, it will almost certainly not be implemented. Moreover, once the head of state uses the power of forcible passage, it obviously means that the head of state has no other way to solve the matter, which will not only make people doubt the head of state’s ability to control, but also a huge blow to his prestige.

Moreover, this situation often does not mean the implementation of policies, but the intensification of contradictions. This is simply being reckless, and as the head of the government, you don’t have enough power and tactics to solve the problem.

Shen Qingyuan knew these things very well, but Shen Qingyuan didn’t care. Shen Qingyuan only hopes to send a signal through these actions, so that people can understand that their determination has been made. In any case, I will carry out this policy myself. If anyone wants to stand in your way, be prepared to suffer your own wrath.

There was a buzzing discussion in the venue, and the host of the meeting had to stop it loudly: “Silence, silence!”

The people finally quieted down, and Shen Qingyuan stood up directly, glanced at the audience again, and then coldly spit out two words: “The meeting is over.”

Shen Qingyuan knew that this night was destined to be a sleepless night for many people. It may be time for people to make a final choice, and it is time for them to plan carefully for the implementation of policies in the next period of time.

Zhao Yang, the top leader of the intelligence agency, and General Lei Zhen, the top leader of the military, had already arrived in his office one step ahead of Shen Qingyuan and waited. In the face of these two absolute confidants and most loyal supporters, Shen Qingyuan also did not polite, but directly ordered: “Lei Zhen, order the entire army to enter the second-level alert state. Every building with more than 100,000 people living in it, No matter whether it is a spaceship, a factory or a space base, a military team of no less than ten people must be stationed. Zhao Yang, you should immediately collect the list and information of the opponents in the government, and you can take surveillance measures if necessary. “

There are some unusual meanings in this order, but it did not exceed the expectations of the two. The two took their orders and left, but after a while, the secretary brought some unexpected news to Shen Qingyuan.

“Head of State, Minister Han would like to have a talk with you.”

Shen Qingyuan was silent for a moment and said, “Let him in.”

Han Luochang walked into Shen Qingyuan’s office after half a minute~www.mtlnovel.com~ and said directly: “Führer, I oppose your decision. I think you should think about it again.”

Shen Qingyuan said lightly: “No one can resist what is determined by the plenary meeting. As a senior government official, what you need to do is not to question the decision of the meeting, but to think about how to implement it.”

“Führer, why are you so eager to implement this policy? Even if the content of the policy remains unchanged, it would be good to suspend its implementation and give it more time. I don’t understand the reason.”

Han Luo is often a stubborn person. Shen Qingyuan knew that if he didn’t give him a reason, he might actually resist his orders. Although he could be removed, Shen Qingyuan was not willing to do that.

However, can he really tell him about his physical condition and tell him that he is so anxious because he is worried that the next head of state will not have the courage like himself?

Shen Qingyuan knew that he couldn’t do that.

With a sigh in his heart, Shen Qingyuan did not answer, but said, “Luo Chang, do you know about Han Yue and Fu Sheng? I think they are a good match.”

There was a flash of struggle in Han Luochang’s eyes, but he still said: “Führer, I also think they are a good match. But I also think that private affairs have nothing to do with public affairs.”

Shen Qingyuan looked at Han Luochang deeply, and Han Luochang also looked at Shen Qingyuan calmly, without looking away.

Shen Qingyuan knew that there was no force behind Han Luochang to oppose him. The reason why Han Luochang did this was that he really believed that doing so would bring disaster to civilization.

But Shen Qingyuan also knew that no matter whether there were forces behind him or not, since Han Luochang had become a banner against his own policies, those opposing forces would inevitably begin to gather under Han Luochang’s banner.
