Doomsday rat

Chapter 901
To say that the council has the greatest power, it cannot interfere with the work of the government, that is to say, as long as the government does things within the scope of the rules, no one has the right to dictate.Only on major issues can all directors vote to call a hearing to question whether the practices of government officials are in compliance with regulations.

Originally, Chu Qiu thought that he could do whatever he wanted by controlling most of the directors in the council, but after trying a few times, he couldn't say he gave up completely, and he no longer held this illusion, because there was no hope at all.

There are a total of 63 directors, all from the general election of the official residents of the alliance, which is really won by one vote.Behind them are workers, farmers, soldiers, and small traders from all walks of life, and they represent the interests of those people.

The directors have power in their hands, but those powers are entrusted by others, or borrowed temporarily. If you can't speak out for the creditors to fight for the interests, I'm sorry, you can go out next time.Not only is the power gone, even the groups that originally supported and protected themselves cannot go back, and they leave the house empty-handed.

You said that I will take advantage of the power and not waste it, and take the opportunity to exchange some benefits quickly, so that I can become a rich man even if I lose the next election.Sorry, I thought too much, no one can do this.

Not to mention whether the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who stare at officials like thieves all day long will arrest people. Even if they escape by chance, where can they go with the wealth exchanged for power?

It’s not the old world now, where you can go to the other side of the world with just an air ticket, and there are no Swiss banks or offshore companies to help transfer money and launder money.Zombie control areas are everywhere, there is no place to stay, and even a few people can't survive if they run out.

If you want to balance dozens of directors from different groups and ethnic groups, you must satisfy their different interests.The problem is that if human beings were so satisfied and so easy to negotiate, wouldn't there be no wars at all.

Every resolution in the council has never been unanimously passed.No matter what you want to do or what you want to change, as long as someone benefits, someone must suffer.When it comes to benefits, those guys are as if they have been beaten, and there is no need to discuss it when their own father comes.

What the chairman can do is to determine which vote is valid according to the rules, and whether it reaches the number of passing votes, at most, he can act as a middleman in private to protect the media and mediate between several directors whose opinions are to the left.Try to balance the interests as much as possible, no amount of influence is really enough.

In order to maintain power, the government and the council not only check each other but also cooperate with each other, not daring to make too much trouble, which will affect the development of the alliance, and the next term will have to leave and be scolded.

What about the army?If the army has any ideas, wouldn't it be a coup that overturns all the rules!The answer is still no, the training and command of the alliance army are completely two systems.

For example, in Niu Dafu's first brigade, he is usually only in charge of training and has no command.If he can't get an order from the Ministry of Armed Forces, he will be an empty brigade commander. Except for a few guard troops, he will never be able to transfer a company.

This time he was transferred to command the first brigade of the reserve service is a living example. After receiving the transfer order, he could only take the post with the guard company alone.When you reach the first brigade, you have to be under the control of the deputy brigade commander and the brigade chief of staff. Apart from implementing the combat orders of the Ministry of Armed Forces, you can't do anything extra.

Even when I took office, I didn't know who the deputy brigade commander and the brigade chief of staff were.

The most troublesome thing is the promotion, transfer, appointment and removal of officers, which are not within the scope of the commander's authority.If there is a violation of discipline on the battlefield, the commander can temporarily arrest and send it to a military court for the deputy to replace.But if you are arrested wrongly, or if the evidence is insufficient, I’m sorry, let’s go to the military court together. This is called false accusation, a felony!
When the commander cannot control the promotion, salary and treatment of his subordinates, and cannot establish prestige and develop cronies in an army for a long time, launching a military coup becomes a very unreliable extravagant hope.It is possible that before the coup was launched, you would be controlled by your subordinates first.It is also a felony to move troops without an order from the Ministry of Armed Forces.

In fact, even if someone follows you and takes the risk, the chances of a military coup's success are still slim.The modern army relies too much on logistical supplies, there is not enough ammunition reserves, and it is useless to rely on numbers alone.

Unless you can also collude with the logistics department of the staff department, but in this way, the suddenness will be lost.The ubiquitous spies and agents in the Ministry of Internal Affairs do this job all day long, and as soon as they find any clues, they will start an investigation immediately.

If you switch to the old world, this kind of investigation may be much more troublesome. After all, people have circles, relatives and friends, and interpersonal relationships are intricate.

But for now, it will be easy to investigate.Not to mention relatives and friends, if you have known each other for four or five years, you are old acquaintances. Even if you have children, they are at most teenagers, and they can't help you at all.

Who would entrust their wealth and life to so-called acquaintances who have only known each other for a few years?It is more likely to be reported and then become a stepping stone for others to make meritorious deeds and promotions.

Some people may have said that Hong Tao is fooling around. How could he use the weak Song's useless routines of soldiers who don't know the generals and soldiers? It will greatly affect the combat effectiveness and harm the country and the people!
In fact, it is not the case. Discussion and analysis of anything cannot be evaluated in isolation. It must be prefixed with a time.Some methods may have been a stroke of genius in ancient times, but they may become failures in a few hundred years.

The soldiers in the Song Dynasty did not know their generals, and the generals did not know their soldiers. It was not that the method was wrong. On the contrary, this military system was more advanced, so that in modern times, many countries began to adopt it.

During World War II, European and American countries participating in the war, including Japan, basically separated training and combat command.Each base and military region is responsible for the training of an army. When a battle is needed, a commander will be appointed, and more often it will be a command team.

For example, Patton, Montgomery, MacArthur, Zhukov, etc., before the war, they were not commanding the same unit. They were transferred around, and even had to receive defeated troops. After a short period of supplementary adjustments, they had to go to the battlefield immediately.

Then why didn't they say that soldiers don't know generals, and generals don't know soldiers?It's very simple, the troops they took over were all trained in the same training system, and the basic tactics, tactics, weapon configuration, etc. were all exactly the same.

The commander does not need to know every soldier, not even the middle and lower ranks.He only needs to issue instructions according to the internal rules of the system, and the officers and soldiers can understand them, and there is no problem of incompatibility or ignorance.

So why did this problem exist in the Song Dynasty, and it was a big problem?The reason is simple. The level of science and technology in the Song Dynasty could not achieve a consistent training system.The generals at that time did not have a complete set of military theories. The southern army and the northern army were very different in tactics, weapon equipment, and combat habits.

Therefore, advanced things must be supported by a matching system and environment, otherwise not only will they not reflect advanced, but it will easily backfire.When discussing whether something is advanced or not, we must fully consider the conditions at that time, and we cannot talk about it alone.

Does the East Asian Union have supporting conditions?The answer is must drop!No matter the troops stationed in Chang'an, Changchun, or the reserve army, they adopt the same training system, use the same set of weapons, and have the same logistics system.

If there is a difference, it is the level of the commander, the number of times the unit has participated in battles, and whether the experience of the middle and lower-level officers is sufficient.

Well, the government, the council, and the army can't exist alone, let alone the situation where one crushes the other. Is power locked in a cage?In fact, it is far from enough. This is just a big framework, and there are still many details to be perfected.

It's a pity that Hong Tao didn't have time to do more detailed steps, so he ran away in a hurry, leaving behind a semi-finished product.At present, the reason why the East Asian Alliance has become a situation full of factions and constant internal friction is directly related to his failure to complete the work.

When he was in charge of the league, this set of rules ran smoothly. It's not that the rules are perfect, but he is special.Being both the chairman and the secretary-general of the alliance, and also the minister of armed forces, the power is too great, which seriously disrupts the balance and restricts others' coveting of power.
