Chapter 691
The emergency meeting of the cabinet quickly made a resolution, calling for an investigation into the members who impeached Purficott. The charges were very straightforward: secession and treason.
The moment the resolution came out, some people protested that it was dictatorship and power, a blasphemy against democracy and freedom, and demanded that the National Assembly veto the cabinet's arbitrary order.
However, this resolution was passed by the National Assembly. Although more than one-third of the members abstained from voting during the voting process, it still passed by half.
So the cabinet resolution was implemented.
The MPs involved in the incident were taken away from the National Assembly on the spot and will be investigated by the National Intelligence Service of Victoria.
The police also directly searched their residences and seized a large amount of information and documents from the homes of these congressmen, which will become evidence.
As for Purficott herself, she just laughed it off after learning about it.
"If you need it, these congressmen will be killed directly in prison tonight." Ezio, the leader of the Assassin Brotherhood, appeared in front of Perficott for the first time in a long time, and he wanted to get rid of him as soon as he opened his mouth. reject someone's proposal.
However, Purficott just smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't make any sense. These people just don't understand the form. There is no need to kill them."
Having said this, Purficott narrowly looked at Ezio in front of him and teased him: "If I hadn't known the situation, I would have thought these people were supported by you!"
Hearing what Perficott said, Ezio shook his head seriously and said: "No, they have nothing to do with us."
Obviously, Ezio did not want Perficott to think that This matter has something to do with them.
"If it was 20 years ago, maybe there would still be such naive people in the Brotherhood." Perhaps thinking of something, Ezio sighed helplessly: "At that time, we all had They believe that a free revolution like France is the future of the country and the people!
However, reality tells us that this is not always what we think.
In particular, your appearance has proved to us that strongman politics is often the key factor that can truly guarantee the stability of a country. "
"What you say is a result-oriented theory. Strongman politics can indeed ensure stability, but only if the people who rule the country are not corrupt people who are greedy for profit, nor do they put personal interests above national interests. of rulers. "Perficott denied Ezio's statement.
There are more cases in the original world. During the Cold War, there were too many cases of strongman politics in the world. Naturally, some of these cases can be regarded as There are exemplary cases, and there are also cases that can be regarded as "exemplary"
Strong. As Ezio said, human politics can ensure the stability of a country for a period of time to a certain extent, but doing so will often accumulate a lot of public resentment
Even if people's lives really get better. , their material life has also been enriched, and the country has also achieved rapid development
But it is often difficult to satisfy people's hearts, especially when people are full, they want more. When they are not full, the only thing people think about is to eat. After they are full, they think about more things, such as better clothes, higher labor remuneration, and bigger jobs. Houses, want to express more political demands...
To apply a sentence seen by Purficott in the original world, it can be summarized that the growing needs of the people are consistent with the existing social system. contradiction between.
“What a country really needs is not immutability, nor a ruler with an iron fist to conquer everything.” Combining his own personal experience in the past few years, as well as a large number of cases in the original world as a reference, Purfe Kurt actually knows all this quite clearly. Clarity: “What the country and the people need is a system that continuously leads the progress and development of the entire country.
This system must ensure that the leaders of the entire country will not continue to do nothing, and can be long-term, high-speed and Stable maintenance of national development
To be more precise, it can provide citizens with spiritual satisfaction, so that they can even tolerate material dissatisfaction for a short or long period of time. ”
The most typical representative here is one of the two poles of the world. What the red regime was most criticized at that time and criticized by later generations was the huge gap between their light industry and heavy industry, as well as the gap in people’s living needs. Low quality.
They allocate houses to citizens for free, even though it is a Khrushchev building that is neither good-looking nor liveable. It is also an uncomfortable pigeon cage.
As for other light industrial products, it is only about whether they are available, without considering whether they are good or not.
But it is undeniable that the red regime at that time except In the years after it was first established and in the years before its final disintegration, its national living needs were met and could even be said to be very generous.
The famous kitchen debate is its most visual manifestation.
“For example, what you did in the North?” Ezio looked at Perficott, feeling that Perficott himself was the most intuitive embodiment of her theory.
“If you are referring to cheap food, housing and clothes, you can think so.” Purficott did not hide his thoughts in this regard, but frankly admitted: “There are many things we need to do first. We have to resolve the issues before we can consider the good and the bad. It is impossible to give the best to the people from the beginning. That is a fantasy story, not reality. "
“But there are always some people who will use various propaganda methods to claim that they will give the people better than the best, in order to exchange for people’s support, and drive away those who can really solve the problem for the people. Stepping down will leave the people with nothing. "Although he has always been an assassin, Ezio is not the kind of person who only thinks about force.
As one of the progressive youths in the past, Ezio also has a profound understanding of society and politics, and a deep understanding of what the people really need.
"Yes, so sometimes democracy is not as beautiful as you think. Once the democratic election system develops into a situation where politicians use all means to please voters instead of relying on their own abilities to compete for power, this system will also become a A huge cancer." Purficott felt this very deeply. This was how a country that was once one of the two poles of the world turned into a cesspool.
Thinking of this, Purficott sighed to Ezio: "No matter how talented and self-controlled a person is, he cannot always guarantee that the country will always be on the road of continuous progress. The country will not fall.
At this time, what the country needs is an enemy, an enemy who is evenly matched and no one dares to start a war. Both sides are constantly improving themselves to try to overwhelm the other."
