Chapter 692 Announcement of Retirement
National development needs enemies and competitors. This may sound very strange, even outrageous.
But if you study it carefully, you will find that this is actually very scientific.
In biology, this is called the catfish effect.
In the original world, during the Cold War, the greatest competition in human history, the ideological struggle between the two camps can be said to be the fastest-growing era in human history.
The red camp built a space station in space, and the Western camp sent people to the moon.
Both sides have achieved unprecedented achievements in the fields of science and technology, economy, culture and military. They have dismantled the colonial system of the old era and set off a vigorous wave of resistance in countless colonies around the world.
At that time, no matter which one of the two camps belonged to, it was an era when the gap between the rich and the poor was the smallest, the unemployment rate was the lowest, and people's lives were the most comfortable.
With his own salary, a worker can support a family of four and a dog, afford a house and drive a car, and still have money to buy the latest technological products that improve life.
The firm implementation of the eight-hour work system allows working people to cultivate a series of hobbies such as skiing, skydiving, ballet, etc. after work, and national recuperation has even become a way of life.
Art, culture and other fields also flourished during this period, ushering in a glorious era.
It can be said that this period of fierce competition between the two camps and the years when humans sat on nuclear bombs can really be called the golden years of the development of human civilization.
In just a few decades, mankind has achieved tremendous development and progress unprecedented in the past thousand years.
However, the moment the red flag fell to the ground, one of the two former camps fell, and the other quickly degenerated. The whole world seemed to suddenly become worse.
The rapidly widening gap between rich and poor, the sudden increase in unemployment, and even mankind have been unable to make any breakthroughs or achievements worth mentioning in the aerospace industry for half a century.
This is really a huge irony.
It was not until the new century that the rise of another country suddenly woke up the world hegemon who had been sleeping on his laurels for thirty years.
In the past thirty years, this rising competitor has always regarded one of the overlords as an enemy, constantly improving and motivating itself, so that it can continue to progress and develop.
Only in this way can we catch up with and even surpass ourselves in some fields in just a few decades.
Perfect personally experienced the thirty years of drastic changes when she was in the original world. She saw with her own eyes how the whole world was moving towards the abyss step by step, and the country that came from history was How to wash away a hundred years of humiliation step by step and return to the previous position.
She appreciates what a great man once said: Struggle with heaven and you will have endless joy; struggle with earth and you will have endless joy; struggle with people and you will have endless joy.
People need competitors, and so do countries.
As long as we fight without defeat, seeking development in competition is the most effective way to promote people's continuous progress.
However, through this incident, Purficott, who recycled and looked at it again, felt that she had arranged everything so well that some people had misunderstandings.
The reason why I say this is because in Purficott’s view, the impeachment case should not happen at all.
The country is far from the stage where it can engage in internal competition and seek so-called freedom and democracy. External crises are still approaching. This is the time to unite and pursue development. But this group of people who pursue so-called democracy and freedom seem to have completely ignored the crisis.
This made Purficott clearly realize that he seemed to have gone too far in some things, causing them to lose their sense of crisis.
"Should they let them face the crisis on their own?" Purficott fell into thinking, because for her, this was an issue worth considering.
She has been the one to solve all problems for a long time, making many people dependent on her existence and losing their ability to deal with crises.
It seemed that as long as she was there, no problem would be a problem.
This made Purficott feel that he should have protected these people so well that they would not have experienced any survival crisis, material shortages or sudden disasters at the end of the world. Problem, so that they have this idea of overeating.
I actually think that we can start practicing democracy and freedom now!
Thinking of this, Purficott felt that he should really let go and let them experience the cruelty of the world for themselves.
And it’s time for her to think about herself and pursue the city in the sky in her dreams.
------------------- When he heard the news, he almost dropped his jaw and even dropped his glasses to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a soft carpet on the floor, so I didn’t break my glasses.
He quickly picked it up and put it on again, and then asked the secretary who reported the matter: "What happened? Why did Earl Brandlis do this suddenly?"
"Sorry, Mr. Prime Minister, we were unable to obtain more information! This notification was issued by the Northern Lords' Mansion earlier today. Earl Brandlis announced that he would resign from all public offices and only retain his position in the Northern Territory. of Territory." The secretary explained to Wellington. He was also confused about the matter and didn't understand anything, but he still told him all the information he knew dutifully: "Earl Brandlis did not do anything. Without any explanation, the notice issued by the Lord's Mansion only mentioned that in view of the recent situation, she resigned from all government positions after careful consideration, including the important position of Guardian of the North."
"Crazy! All crazy!" Wellington cursed and shouted at his secretary: "Why are you still standing here? Go and notify the cabinet members and convene an emergency cabinet meeting!"
The secretary was shouted at After making a sound, he hurriedly rushed out of the Prime Minister's Office to inform others.
After the secretary left, the anxious expression on Wellington's face turned into a solemn one.
What he is worried about is not whether he can secure the position of prime minister. Although he was single-handedly elected by Purficott, he is a legitimate prime minister who has passed the formal election anyway.
At this time, no one would deliberately want to make things difficult for him, unless the other party is a political opponent of Perfectcott and wants to take this opportunity to cut off her power and put her to death.
But this is unrealistic. After all, Perficott still retains the right to rule his own territory and still controls the army in the north.
So what really worries Wellington is not this, but where the Victoria Empire will go next.
The loss of Perfectikt will have a huge impact on the Victoria Empire, and the entire country will soon fall into turmoil.
