Chapter 232 Alliance
On the seventh day before Li Litian said, Li Litian met the US President on TV on behalf of the government and gave an official explanation of this "Fleet Incident":
The United States will temporarily reserve the right to use force to exert influence on the Chadian coup. Regarding the matter of consciousness network, the United States will focus on handling it through public opinion, diplomacy, and other more moderate attitudes. When making this conversation, the president also warned about the matter. If the so-called "Karmel Kingdom" continues to illegally spread the consciousness network within its territory, or continues to use "magic" to do things that are not allowed by US law in the United States, the U.S. government will consider using extreme means...
This statement from the US government can be regarded as a reasonable retreat. It not only expresses the United States' temporary surrender, but also fails to say anything completely, leaving room for words between words.
This statement was just aired, but it caused an uproar in international public opinion. Many media have speculated about the US government's attitude towards this matter. Although domestic public opinion is raging, many people still believe that the foundation of the United States' world's first hegemony is still there and it shouldn't be so easy to admit defeat...
But the emergence of this statement made everyone realize that this newly emerged so-called Carmel country is rising silently as a new force.
...
In late January, Chad.
The January period that Li Litian said was coming soon, and the Chadian referendum he had promised had officially begun. In order to show his openness, he also invited officials from the United States and France to attend the scene a few days in advance to conduct full-process supervision.
The U.S. representative did not attend.
The entire referendum process lasted only three days. Compared with this country with a total population of more than 10 million, it is incredible to complete such a large overall action in three days.
The French ambassador did not know that if Li Litian had not deliberately asked all magical processes not to be used, this magical process could be completed in three hours.
Because Chad's current awareness network penetration rate has reached more than 98%.
In just three days, the French ambassador was surprised to find that this was almost not the Chad I had originally thought.
After Li Litian announced the official start of the referendum, at a *** point in the center of the capital Njamena, the French ambassador saw a phenomenon that shocked him at first sight: Chads actually lined up spontaneously!
In front of each box, Chadians who spontaneously walked on the streets took the blank hard cardboard ballots with one hand, and blue light flashed on the other hand. Under the scorching sun, they formed a straight team like ants, and could hardly hear complaints in the crowd, and the noise was fast and efficient. The people at the top quickly filled in personal information and information at the door of the *** station, then outlined the options on the ballots, or wrote the options in their minds in the bottom other options, and finally threw the ballots into the box.
The ballot is real-name, and personal detailed information must be filled in on it, including address, family members, work, or other contact information. There are three options on the ballot, 1, return to the political state one month ago. 2, freely form a government. 3, and let Chad join the Consciousness Network Alliance.
As for what is the Conscious Network Alliance, Li Litian also personally gave a detailed explanation to the French: that is, an alliance between countries. Every country in the alliance enjoys a considerable degree of autonomy in politics and law, but cannot hold a military force, which is more similar to the relationship between states in the United States...
Li Litian had previously promised to the French ambassador: If they can find more than five percent of the invalid votes in these ballots, including false identity information, forced nature, bribery of votes, etc., all votes on the ballot that choose the third option can be regarded as invalid.
To ensure fairness, the key staff on some key *** stations were screened by the French ambassador himself from the locals, and some were French residents in Chad. Before coming to Chad, the French ambassador thought he would meet a farce, but he had even made plans for diplomatic disputes. Although France could not be as radical as Americans, it was still possible to exert influence through public opinion.
But his ideas seemed to be about to fail.
The French ambassador was on the side of the *** station, and incredibly checked the votes one by one, verified the above information from the *** ***, and even arranged for French reporters from domestic TV stations to randomly interview the crowd in the queue. However, it had been a morning and more than three hours, and they even changed several *** points in the city, but so far, there have been no new discoveries.
All of them are sure to be local residents, and almost all the voters asked have very reliable backgrounds. Before Li Litian came, they were merchants, workers, technicians, civil servants, soldiers, teachers, and even beggars in the city, but the votes in their hands are now checked without exception.
The vote rate is almost 100%.
The country is facing earth-shaking changes, and the root of this change may not only be the "Camel's gift" that appears outside cities, but also the bigger reason may be from every inhabitant of the city and from the communicator flashing with blue light in their hands.
The garbage that could be seen everywhere on the streets in the past, the beggar children who were not used to holding empty bowls on both sides of the street, and the trash cans that were sour and smelly, the numbness and indifference in the eyes of peacekeeping troops, government soldiers, policemen, and pedestrians, are now completely gone, as if it was happening in another plane.
The police stations and military bases in the past have now been uniformly labeled with red crosses and converted into hospitals. The halls of these hospitals are now lined up every day. They will be treated here with a series of free physical examinations and vaccine injections, such as cholera, yellow fever, meningitis, and some common infectious diseases in Africa... Some simple diseases can also be treated here, such as the most common malaria.
In the medical field, Li Litian has invested nearly 300 million US dollars, which is more than the large geothermal power station planned by Feng Jingting.
Now all the street children across the country are uniformly housed in the "National Children's Relief Center". The provisional government will provide them with the most basic food and clothing guarantee. In contrast, they will be subject to more than six hours of compulsive consciousness network teaching every day, as well as one or two hours of real physical exercise.
The word forced sounds a bit ugly. Perhaps, if it is replaced by compulsory consciousness network education, it may be easier to accept. Although these children may be lying on the fictional classroom of the consciousness network every day, they are almost unwilling to come out. Compared with the relief center, there are only simple steel beds and canteens. The fictional classroom in the consciousness network is simply a paradise. More than 6 hours of education per day will be the most memorable childhood in these children's lives.
A childhood that is more beautiful than a dream.
In the name of the Provisional Government, a large number of Chadians are being organized to build preliminary reservoirs around the emerging "water sources" in various cities. A large number of land that was abandoned due to drought have now been built with the most basic water conservancy facilities. Li Litian plans to try to grow wheat in these newly opened "state-owned farms". In the past, this land may not have survived even drought-tolerant plants such as cassava and corn.
Li Litian has reached a medium-term, totaling hundreds of thousands of tons of grain import plans with some large grain exporters in traditional agricultural producers such as Canada, France and Argentina. He is planning to use this grain as "reform capital" and carry out large-scale reforms and construction in the entire Chad with the unprecedented reputation he has now won in Chad.
The contents of these reforms and construction mainly include the construction of basic water conservancy facilities in the country, the opening of a large amount of cultivated land in the country with new water sources, Feng Jingting's super-large geothermal power generation, a large number of unified planned simple housing, simple industrial zone hardware facilities, power architecture, and popularization awareness network education. Li Litian plans to establish a preliminary self-sufficiency economic system in Chad within two years. On this basis, the simple heavy industry required for the space station is the production of materials and alloy steel.
Originally, the pillar industries in Chad were mainly oil extraction, animal husbandry, and the cultivation of cash crops. There is no need to say that oil extraction does not require too much cost and can continue to be carried out. However, the other two industries that belong to the category of agriculture can be said to be fundamentally contrary to Li Litian's original intention. In Li Litian's view, relying on agriculture as the pillar in such a country with an ecologically fragile environment is not a long-term solution. Animal husbandry leads to grassland degradation. In addition to exporting cash crops to developed countries, it is almost no benefit to the people of their own people. It will also make Chad economically dependent on other countries. If Chad people want to win, Carmel must abandon these two sweet-looking candies.
A country cannot make money for money, and Carmel must have his own goals. Ivan's words have always been relatively marketable among several spellcasters.
According to the resolution of the Spellcaster Council, in the next few years, only two industries will be vigorously developed in Chad: a basic heavy industry with steelmaking and space station construction as its core, and a large area of cultivated land that might have been close to being abandoned, which has just been opened up, and plans to increase soil fertility in one year and then plant all rations.
Li Litian has already visited France, Canada, and Argentina, countries with large-scale agricultural experience, and has invited a group of expert consultants to Germany to help design industrial areas. Of course, as these people come in batches, the little money in Li Litian's pocket flows out like flowing water.
Although these lands have just been reclaimed and some "pure natural organic fertilizers" have been applied, and they may not try to formally plant them in the coming year, but now some large agricultural machinery has been bought. A group of new employees from the "state-owned farm" are now learning to drive combine harvesters on a stinky land. During this year, they will be arranged to train a complete set of modern agricultural technologies as employees, some of whom may have to learn to fly small aircraft...
The planned industrial zone may still be a piece of sand and gravel covered with weeds or stones, but the corresponding workers have organized them. They will be asked to start from basic mathematics in the consciousness network, and in the process of this year, learn the most basic knowledge they need in their work in the future. These knowledge may be basic electrical, welding, boiler workers, fitters...
Modernization is actually not mysterious in Feng Jingting's eyes. For a country, effective education is always a good investment method. Now Carmel pays more than a year of internship fees for half a person in the entire country. If everything goes well, it will gain millions of modern workers in a year.
Of course, if there is no ultra-efficient ruling tool like the consciousness network, it may take more than ten times, or even dozens of times, to achieve this in ordinary backward countries. Most of the time is wasted on the internal consumption between people. The upper will must be transformed into the driving force for each individual's actions. There is no idea how many twists and turns it takes to go through. It requires reasonable economic means to induce and balance it with exquisite policies. Especially in countries like Chad, you must also pay attention to domestic and foreign opposition forces at any time. The people will always fall into panic of hunger or disease...
Not to mention a country, a company, or a professional technical school, it is not possible to train thousands of qualified workers overnight. People who come out of those technical schools basically have to stand the test of the actual situation of the factory again to their jobs. No matter how good you are in paper, it is normal to catch blindly in actual production.
However, these problems almost do not exist in front of the consciousness network.
The consciousness network now has nearly seven million adult users, and more than five million children under the age of 16. In such a huge network where people influence each other anytime and anywhere, once a certain idea becomes a consensus, it means that this consensus will become everyone's understanding.
In the consciousness network, the country is an individual, and individuals truly form a country. It can be said that when Li Litian announced the decision to adjust the Chadian industry in the consciousness network, this decision has become the heartfelt consensus of every Chadian.
Maybe everyone will have their own reason to resist in their hearts. The hands that hold chalk are definitely not used to getting wrenches. The driver who is used to holding the steering wheel will have difficulties in asking him to change to drive the tractor immediately. The merchant who is used to purchasing and settle accounts suddenly asked him to go to the power plant to learn basic electrical science, and his mind may be just a piece of paste...
If it is an ordinary earth government and when the national station is still unstable, it makes such a request for "running forward" to all citizens, it will only lead to a miserable fall, but Carmel has never been an ordinary country.
In fact, the "two-year construction program" originally proposed by several spellcasters was actually quite relaxed, and the content was also taken step by step. Everything was mainly voluntary by local residents. The so-called recruitment was nothing more than raising wages to attract people to work, etc. However, no one expected that just when they handed over this routine program to Ivan for review, he put forward a clear-cut opposition for the first time.
"You are blindly accommodating to the common people!" Ivan used the word "civilian" at the meeting without any hesitation. "Just like the welfare countries in the Nordic areas of yours, you will keep your people alive and live well, and let them rot themselves in their own little world until they enter the coffin, for fear of touching their little rights. As spell casters, you must have your ideas and the courage to impose your will on them. You are the managers of the country. This is your duty and obligation. Each of you is authorized by me personally, not the representative of the public opinion they have chosen."
"If they can be satisfied, or if their original life has become a serious person, you can ignore it for the time being, but now they obviously do not have such consciousness. I know that one of the important reasons why they support the consciousness network is because they know that with us, they will have no worries about eating and drinking. Some time ago, Lin Quan told me that many people in Chad joined the consciousness network and even wanted to stop doing their original work. Many people eat UN or Carmel's relief food, but they fight in the consciousness network games all day..."
"In my opinion, they have lost the minimum self-esteem of being a human being. Indulging them in such behavior is the greatest harm to them. In my opinion, the means of education need to be retained forever. Since their own reason cannot make them awake, we should take the means that can make them awake."
After Yifan's words, Li Litian, Feng Jingting and Lin Quan immediately significantly revised this construction program, from the original gradual influence to the current drastic moves.
According to this new program, it is also equivalent to the laws within the consciousness network. At present, all members of the consciousness network alliance, namely those in Chad and Carmel, who have no jobs and refuse to participate in any work, have the right to review him. If his reasons cannot convince the inspection department, Lin Quan has the right to cut off the connection of his consciousness network. If the situation has not improved, one month later, this person will be identified as a person who "needs to strengthen education". When he is given monthly relief, he can be whipped, twice, and four times in another month... until he feels that the cost of enjoying this kind of life is much higher than the pain caused to him by the caning and is willing to make changes.
In the eyes of Ivan and most spellcasters, most people will not actually go this far, because the pressure brought by the public consciousness of the consciousness network can make more than 80% of people unconsciously do things according to the collective interests. The objects involved in this law are mainly those who are particularly lazy or addicted to something, which may be negative like drugs, and of course, they may also be particularly specialized in some positive things. The specific judgment actually depends on the Supervision Department.
According to the working ideas set by Lin Quan for the Supervision Department, the following series of reasons are currently allowed:
1. Don’t have any work skills, but are willing to take the initiative to learn.
2. There are people who want to do what they want and really take action to do it.
3. Those who are over 60 years old or are considered to have basically lost their working skills and lack the possibility of continuing to learn. (Generally, they refer to middle-aged and elderly people who are relatively rigid in thinking, have been unemployed for a long time, and are difficult to be "educated well").
4. People who rely on legal income to support themselves, without receiving relief food or unemployed living allowances.
5. People who have special emotional bonds and are not suitable for working in a short period of time. (Marriage, funeral, birth, old age, sickness and death)
6. Other situations recognized by the Spellcaster Council.
