Chapter 31 Anger
On September 14, early in the morning, as in the morning, as in the past, I saw tens of thousands of blood-blooded young people on Guangfu Avenue, like volcanic lava, vast and surging, walking along Guangfu, shouting all the way, leaflets flying, groups of citizens joined from time to time, and the flow of people grew stronger.
"Tough punishment for giants!"
"The president of the cabinet resigned and thanked the people!"
The shocking roar echoed on the Avenue of restoration. In the parade, there were not only excited young students, but also citizens. Almost everyone was stunned by the 10,000 yuan corruption case. The money was not the taxes paid by citizens, the people's fat, and even the donations saved by hundreds of millions of citizens from their teeth. But it turned out to be nearly 10,000 yuan in kickbacks.
In the past two days, all Chinese reports have published extremely strongly worded editorials without exception:
"Angry! Shocking anger!"
"Follow down the responsibilities of the House of Lords and the Cabinets!"
"In the face of such a giant, can the citizens of the empire be silent?"
Of course, we can't be silent. In order to develop the industrial economy of the empire, 50,000 citizens were under all kinds of pressure, so they saved money to purchase foreign machinery and equipment. They asked for a rebate of 10,000 yuan when they moved their lips!
This is just a matter of nearly ten million yuan! How many will not be exposed?
It's all a group of traitors!
So, the citizens who refused to be silent and were completely shrouded in anger shouted slogans and walked into the street.
"Toughly punish the giant dragonfly!"
"Toughly investigate the technology introduction committee!"
"Cut Cao's head to thank the people!"
The slogans have converged into a boundless anger over China. If people had all kinds of questions about whether to pursue the cabinet's unconstitutionality before, then now everyone no longer considers whether the cabinet's declaration of war is unconstitutional. In their opinion, it is a small problem, and now the country's The giant scorpion is the real big problem. They scraped 20 cents from every Chinese. The giant scorpion of the country is unprecedented! How can the people not be angry? How can you not go to the street?
"Fed!"
He threw the record in his hand in front of Zha Zhiqing and stared at him angrily. The boundless anger in his heart completely controlled Chen Moran's whole mood. Although he had been in the top position for a long time, he had been used to the joys and anger, but in the face of such a huge dragonfly, he could not control his emotions.
For a long time, Chen Moran has been extremely hostile to those corrupt officials in his heart. The reason is very simple. If it hadn't been for those nationals, he would have almost gone to prison, and he would have gone as a sideline, and eventually become a counterfeit money dealer. Because of this, since the period of the ax in power, officials have been corrupt and bribery. With a zero-tolerance attitude, it can be said that I have been working hard to transform China from a decadent society to a disciplined, clean and dynamic society.
Now, the giants of these countries have slapped themselves in the face fiercely, rudely telling themselves with a fact that they have been deceiving themselves.
Two days ago, when the newspaper just poked out the news that the giant sma received huge kickbacks, it thought it was fake news and the need for political attacks. However, the investigation bureau then intervened in the investigation and clearly told itself a fact that it was not a political attack, but a fact.
From the home of a middle-level official, he was able to get 500,000 yuan of dirty money and 5 million yuan of foreign bank deposits from the person in charge's home. The subsequent investigation by the Investigation Bureau found that in the past five years, more than 40 officials emigrated abroad, and they were involved in receiving without exception. Bribery and kickbacks can be rudely said that this is the first corruption case since the founding of the empire, and what's more hateful is that there is no sign of collective corruption on this scale for five years.
In the face of His Majesty's anger, Cha Zhiqing can realize that in addition to his anger, His Majesty showed more fear or disappointment. How could he not be disappointed?
"Over the years, I have always wanted to build a clean and effective political axe!"
Disappointment, the feeling of disappointment filled Chen Moran's heart. After anger, I'm afraid it's this boundless disappointment!
"At the beginning, with noble feelings, it was not difficult to hold a strong belief and determination to crack down on corruption. However, I believe that unless as a leader, I am strong enough to be selfless and resolutely deal with all people who break the law and discipline, I will do what I want. Although it is not so easy, I have been working hard and trying, and I think it's not bad.
Not bad, yes, not bad. I haven't heard about corruption for a long time. I think I have built a clean and efficient society and rebuilt the officialdom of this country. But what is the truth? The corruption of the Technology Introduction Committee is far beyond my imagination.
In the face of His Majesty's disappointment, Zha Zhiqing, as the director of the Bureau of the Investigation, hesitated for a moment. The Bureau of Investigation also bears the responsibility of anti-corruption, and then he explained.
"...So at the beginning, we paid special attention to the areas where people used to act cheaply in the past, which strengthened the prevention. The means of discovering or stopping this kind of illegal behavior... are mainly to deal with corruption among civil servants, especially the middle and lower-level police, hawker inspectors and land managers..."
The anti-corruption of the empire is different from that of all dynasties. First of all, it is aimed at the officials who blackmailed the people in the past dynasties, not the officials. In fact, the biggest grievances of the people are often the officials. As for officials, there are also the words of incorruptible, but the officials are officials who are incorruptible officials. While cracking down on corruption investigations against the middle and lower-level civil servants, for officials It is to be restrained by a variety of detailed systems, coupled with a high salary to maintain integrity and the shooting of more than 50 yuan. It can be said that the corruption of officials has always been controlled within a very small range, and the last time the detection of group corruption was four years ago.
"...It can be said that the Bureau of Investigation's crackdown on corruption by middle and lower-class civil servants, coupled with the supervision of public opinion, has largely stopped the occurrence of corruption incidents, and local officials still need to face the supervision of local councils, so..."
In the face of Zha Zhiqing's explanation, Chen Moran knew that he was not shirking from the responsibility of the investigation bureau. The technology introduction committee involved in the case and the imperial central bidding bureau were all directly under the cabinet, specializing in the introduction of mechanical equipment and patent technology. Its special surname determined that it only dealt with foreign enterprises, and then to invest. The target person provides a message and then receives a rebate, which is naturally more secretive. In order to deal with them, those enterprises are also willing to provide rebates, even on the premise that they do not express this requirement.
Its secret special surname determines that the Bureau of Investigation will naturally not organize people to investigate the two institutions until it receives the report, which directly leads that in a few years, the responsible officials of the two institutions have received huge rebates of up to 8365 million yuan. I know.
Absolute power leads to absolute [***]!
Almost as soon as he calmed down, Chen Moran thought of why the Technology Introduction Commission and the Central Bidding Bureau could accept such a huge amount of rebates. The reason is very simple. These two institutions monopolize the introduction of technology and the introduction of machinery and equipment throughout China.
Not only foreign enterprises provide them with kickbacks, but also many domestic private enterprises also provide bribes to them in order to enable them to quickly declare through the import of machinery and equipment. It can be said without hesitation that the absolute power has made these two institutions rotten.
Chen Moran stood up and came to the window, looking at the lush trees outside the window and the leaves rustling in the wind. His heart was empty. At this time, his anger had already faded. After only nine years of the founding of the empire, there was a surge of wind and continuous disputes. In China, he thought he had established a clean and efficient political axe. However, because of their own selfish desires, they have created a ambiguous China. The local government has established a relatively clean local government axe by relying on laws, public opinion and the parliament. What about the central government?
"It seems..."
He meditated, and a trace of bitterness flashed in Chen Moran's eyes.
Absolute power leads to absolute [***], which is true, especially the kind of power without checks and balances, just like the central institutions. Does their power have checks and balances? The close relationship between the House of Lords and the ministries and bureaus of the Cabinet is necessary for each other, and the House of Commons is just a stamp tool. As for myself, is it possible for me to stare at them all day long?
It is this imbalance that causes the two institutions to rot to the root, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Who can guarantee that other institutions are clean, and other central officials are not involved? Are there only these two institutions?
Silence, hearing the song of birds outside the window, Chen Moran's face was full of disappointment. Now, this collective [***] case has pushed itself into a dilemma. Is it a compromise or... Liang Qichao! Liang Qichao!
Don't think about it. The driving behind this matter that Chen Muran knows is Liang Qichao, the person who once wanted to reuse it, but finally made other choices. Compared with Yang Du, he is more like a politician. He is more mature than Yang Du and knows where to launch a fatal blow.
It can be said that this is the last straw to crush the camel. With this straw, I'm afraid that I can only sign the order to disband Yuan Shikai's cabinet. However, according to Liang Yang's actions, this may only be the first step, and they will have the second and third steps next... But the problem is that they are from where What German telegrams did you get? Is it... a German! It was the Germans who intervened in it. Why did the Germans intervene in it... After frowning and dissipating their anger, after discovering the real behind-the-scenes pusher, Chen Moran instantly understood the reason. They hoped to see chaos in China!
"Your Majesty..."
