Chapter 864: The Beginning of Democracy


After the parents of both parties met, they were very satisfied with their children and agreed on the engagement immediately.Shi Dakai is over half a hundred years old, more than ten years older than Qiao Zhiqing.Now people are old, but the original courage has not diminished, and the bones are still very strong.Now capitalism in New China is developing rapidly, and in addition to the gold panning, animal husbandry and industry are also developing rapidly, creating a large number of bourgeoisie.The influence of New China is too great, and most of the New China are immigrants from New China.Their vision was already very broad, and they wrote letters one after another, asking Shi Da to open a parliament and implement a democratic election system.Although the new Huaxia has implemented the cabinet prime minister system in recent years, all the cabinet members are directly appointed by Shi Dakai, and there is no such thing as an election.Now Shi Dakai couldn't suppress this wave, and calmed down to ask what Qiao Zhiqing's attitude was.Qiao Zhiqing smiled and only replied with one sentence, "We are all old, the future is for young people, so it's up to them to choose" Shi Dakai weighed this sentence repeatedly in his heart, and immediately understood what Qiao Zhiqing meant.The establishment of a national parliament for democratic elections is the trend of major events.Qiao Zhiqing fully supported the bourgeoisie in this matter.Shi Dakai had to smile bitterly secretly, Qiao Zhiqing is now the emperor, no matter how he is elected, his position will not be shaken.But Shi Dakai is only a president, and if the election is opened, he is likely to be brushed down.Fortunately, this time he and Qiao Zhiqing talked about their son's marriage, and in the future, his daughter-in-law will be the king of New China.No matter how they are elected, their family's position will not be shaken.He made a promise to Qiao Zhiqing, and after returning to New China, he began to prepare for this matter, set up a parliament, and gradually open up democratic elections.This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Zhiqing had to set up a king for the state, in order to let them smoothly realize the transition to democracy and appease those old forces.If threats are directly used to force them to comply, I am afraid that it will cause a great backlash.Shi Dakai carefully inspected the capital for a month and was completely impressed by the development here.Although Australia has developed rapidly in recent years, it is almost like a small city compared to the capital.Walking on the street, people feel comfortable.Everyone lives a very free and dignified life, and a scene full of vitality."

It's changed, it's really changed" Shi Dakai sighed with emotion, his son also met, the marriage was set, and he was satisfied, so he took his wife and returned on a passenger boat.Qiao Zhiqing solved a matter on his mind, and his body was much lighter.In these states, New China is used as a breakthrough, and it will be easier to deal with other states in the future.As he said to Shi Dakai, the tide of democracy is mighty and the trend of the times.He was a dictator in New China for more than 10 years, and although he set up a cabinet, all cabinets were appointed by himself, and elections have not yet been opened.Now this general trend is sweeping in, and all kinds of contradictory plans are constantly being made.The opening of a parliament is also an urgent matter.For Parliament, he intends to follow the example of the United Kingdom, with a House of Lords and a House of Commons.The House of Lords is composed of the descendants of the nobles canonized at the time of the founding of the country, including the royal nobles, hereditary nobles, legal nobles, family nobles, life nobles, and outgoing prime ministers canonized by Qiao Zhiqing, with no term limit.The Emperor of the Federal Republic of China may temporarily add a title to the House of Lords.This was done purely to appease the meritorious generals who founded the country.Otherwise, these old brothers will work hard with you all their lives, and they will get nothing.Complaints are small, and if they are not done well, they will cause turmoil.Absolute democracy does not exist in this era, nor does it exist in Qiao Zhiqing's time, unless it is realized one day.You can't take too big a step, you have to take it one step at a time.These old brothers are in control of the military, and if the reform does not give them any benefit, it is an empty word.Although they are stuffed into the House of Lords, it does not mean that they have much power.The House of Lords only plays an auxiliary role in the parliamentary system, mainly used to supervise the work of the House of Commons, assist the House of Commons in legislating, and has a certain veto power.The lower house is the focus of Qiao Zhiqing's reforms, it is elected by the people at the lower levels and has great power.It includes legislative, financial, and supervisory powers.Moreover, the general purpose of the Cabinet is elected by the lower house, and the parliament has the right to question the work of government officials; debate on government policies; Ratify or veto treaties concluded by Governments.At the same time, Parliament has the power to raise a motion of no confidence in the Government, if this happens.The Cabinet must resign or ask the King to dissolve the House of Commons and call for an early general election.It took Qiao Zhiqing a month to sort out all the statutes for the opening of the parliament, and then ordered Premier Wei Guodong to follow them.Start with the House of Lords and let the Cabinet nominate the House of Lords list.Members of the House of Lords can be hereditary, but only one person.The Emperor of the Federal Republic of Great China has the right to confer new titles and add a new House of Lords, which is responsible to the Emperor of the Federal Republic of China.After this matter was done for the time being, Qiao Zhiqing received an invitation from the National Academy of Sciences, inviting him to attend the trial ceremony of the aircraft.After ten years of hard fighting, the world's first aircraft was finally developed.This plan has been gradually implemented from an idea, a suggestion, and finally into reality.Although ten years ago, New China had airship troops.But after all, it is greatly affected by the weather, and the wind is strong, so it is impossible to set sail normally.Qiao Zhiqing has always wanted to build an airplane, and once this overlord of the sky is born, he will be able to completely control air supremacy.At that time, the military of New China will be strong enough to lead Europe by several decades, and it will be like a tiger with wings in real combat.Now the industrial system of New China has been fully matured, and the engine technology has been quite mature after ten years of continuous improvement.The current new warships have all been replaced with diesel engines as power systems.Compared with the previous coal boiler as power, the speed has been increased by as much as half.Now the speed has reached thirty knots per hour.Qiao Zhiqing agreed to visit the ceremony of the plane's maiden flight, and the next day took Wei Ziyou to the world's first airport by car.The aircraft project has always been kept in strict secrecy, and all sappers signed non-disclosure agreements when the airfield was being built.The airfield was built at the military base in Shunyi District in the north, and after Qiao Zhiqing and Wei Ziyou arrived by car, the Beijing Janissaries under Huang Feihong had blocked the area within a radius of 50 miles.Academicians of the National Academy of Sciences involved in aircraft research, as well as representatives of various military departments and commanders and fighters of the Air Force, all arrived at the scene and took their places.As soon as Qiao Zhiqing got out of the car, everyone greeted him excitedly.Qiao Zhiqing shook hands with them one by one and saluted, praised them heavily, and promised to knight those who had made meritorious contributions.Everyone was happy when they heard it, and they all heard about Qiao Zhiqing's plan to set up an upper house.At this time, you can be knighted, then you can enter the House of Lords and hereditary to your children.Everyone's years of exhaustion were swept away, in exchange for endless motivation and gratitude
