super energy power

Western observers in 1993 were generally optimistic about the results of countries changing their flags after the collapse of the Soviet Union.Although observers from Western countries do not expect to see hundreds of years of elected politics in Europe and the United States, they always report the illusion of "at least get by".

The young people of Azerbaijan, and Aliyev taught them a lesson.

Who cares who is elected if the candidates for the general election are not fundamentally different?

How different can Aliyev and Husseinov be?Political commentators at the time couldn't tell.People in the capital Baku may actively participate in the election because of their high enthusiasm for political participation and the infiltration of Western media. Azerbaijanis in other regions don't care much about the general election.

In a city like Sickey, it has no geographical kinship with any candidate, and city residents have no incentive to vote.It was a nice dinner, well worth tasting.

Henkel and others cannot interfere with the election, they can only hold up cameras and huge video cameras to film and interview local residents.

After a while, someone came out from the polling station and wanted to drive them away.

The menacing Azerbaijanis did not deter Henkel. Under the protection of several companions, he raised his voice and said in Russian: "We are election observers, and we have the right to record and film..."

The guy who came out of the polling station said impatiently, "Stand farther away!"

"You guys are cheating."

"What?" The staff at the polling station showed a puzzled expression.

Seeing that he really didn't understand, Henkel suddenly had hope, and hurriedly said: "Dinner, it's wrong for you to invite voters to dinner. This is election fraud."

"Cheated?"

"Cheated."

"How did you cheat?" The man at the polling station suddenly made a detour.

The hopeful Henkel was stunned for a while, put down the camera in his hand, and said seriously: "During the general election, the choices of many voters are uncertain. At this time, the most important thing is to maintain fairness..."

"What does that have to do with eating?"

"You feed voters, which is suspected of bribing them with food."

"What do you mean to say. Let everyone come here without food, and rush back when it gets dark?"

Henkel definitely didn't think about it, hesitantly said: "It's okay to let them pay for the food themselves, free dinner, it's not appropriate."

The big man at the polling station laughed and pointed at Heinkel.Like pointing at a white-haired giant panda in a zoo, in fast-paced Russian.Pili said with a crackling voice, "The food in the city is so much more expensive than the food at home. If you don't come to vote, why do you need to come here to eat? Besides, what's wrong with spending so much money to vote for everyone. "

"Only those who voted for Aliyev can eat here for free, right? Isn't that just bribery!"

"We don't care what the person who pays for the meal says."

"Aren't you in charge of polling stations?"

"We are all temporary workers." The big man at the polling station said proudly: "We were elected by each city. After the voting is over, I will go home."

The big man answered every question, but there was not a word that the national observers wanted to hear.

Heinkel, fed and clothed.How can we keep up with the thinking mode of Azerbaijanis.

Su Cheng laughed tremblingly.

He knew it would be such a result.

Let alone Azerbaijan in 1993, more than ten years later in Russia, there will still be 10 demonstrations demanding punishment for election corruption.

As for the fact that Aliyev and his son have been able to control the country for more than ten years or even decades, elections are always impossible to be like those in European and American countries.

Han Chenghang and Minister Zheng were also speechless for a while.

If a Chinese official doesn't know the poverty of a mountain village or small town, he can still be labeled as ignorant of the people's sentiments.But it was the turn of the US imperialist officials.It is perfectly normal not to understand poverty in underdeveloped countries.

Most of the gentlemen and ladies in European and American countries don’t care much about other countries in the world. Those who do care feel polarized.

Although people like Henkel are a little normal, they can't grasp the pulse of the Azerbaijanis.

The men at the polls were already getting impatient.Seeing that they were silent, they waved their hands like chasing flies, and said, "Hurry up, there are so many of you around here, it will affect the vote."

"Are we influencing the vote?" A red-haired Nordic woman stood up screaming, with the corners of her mouth slanted, looking very angry.

The other party looked at him with obvious eyes.Pointing to the electronic devices around him, he said, "You take pictures everywhere, who is going to vote, and who is even voting for, isn't it all leaked? What if they are retaliated against?"

"Revenge? How?" The Nordic people, who have not experienced war for many years, are not familiar with the business of revenge.

Su Cheng was behind, and said softly in English: "Husseinov is still in control of the army."

Given the current situation in Azerbaijan, it is extremely difficult for the military government to survive. This is why Husseinov did not directly come to power. He is unable to afford military pay and government expenditure at the same time.However, this does not mean that Husseinov does not have the ability to overthrow the general election by force.

Among the three parties in Azerbaijan, Husseinov is the only one who is qualified to turn the table.

Whether it will be done is one thing, and whether it can be done is another.

It is not surprising that voters are puzzled by this.

The members of the international observation team really stopped taking unscrupulous photos, and the polling stations slowly returned to normal.People still eat free dinners and vote for Aliyev.

Democracy fighters looked at the scene in front of them and wanted to cry.

After a long time, Han Chenghang asked in a low voice, "Won't Husseinov and Mamedov object to it being so obvious?"

Su Cheng said simply: "It's beyond the reach of the whip."

"It's still very close to Baku."

"So this polling station is more disciplined." Su Cheng's words stunned Han Chenghang for a while.

He really wanted to ask what an unruly polling place was like, but refrained.

It is rare to be an official to be confused, but it is better to be a diplomat if you are at home.

On the way back, everyone became much more silent.

Han Chenghang surrounded Sioux City, chatting with nothing to say, and became indifferent to Minister Zheng.After today's observation, if he can no longer judge the fact that Aliyev is going to take office, his level is too poor.

Minister Zheng also realized this, his face was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Henkel and others wrote hard and prepared to report to the higher authorities.

However, the counting of votes in the presidential election was not affected by the observers and started on time without stopping.

This is still a highly skilled job, with countless tricks.

Almost all democratically elected countries have had disputes requiring recounts, and the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on the results of election counts more than once.

In the new "democracies," the potential for disputes is even greater.

All those involved in this matter began to work nervously. Boxes of ballots were dumped on the table, counted and recorded manually.All the scenes look right, except for the people involved.

When a group of Azerbaijanis want to cheat, a few foreigners can't stand it.

Repeated counting and missed votes are just the beginning, and situations such as directly modifying numbers will inevitably happen.

Of course, this time it wasn't just Aliyev who was cheating, Mamedov and Husseinov were also cheating.

This is also a game, just not as aboveboard as it seems.

On the last day, the situation became tense.

The army controlled by Husseinov is, after all, a fearsome existence.Western society is even more worried that the democratically elected government will turn into a military government. Ambassadors shuttle back and forth, warning Husseinov not to use force, and Aliyev not to use the people.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After finally staying up until night, the vote counting work was officially completed.

Husseinov, Aliyev and Mamedov sat under the stage with their wives and subordinates, waiting for the moment when the cup was opened.

Everyone stared nervously at the host.

The same is true for Su Cheng and others.

Everyone is like a cheating gambler. Even if they know the dice points in the cup, they will be nervous at the moment of opening the cup.

for a moment.An envelope was handed to the host.

He opened, read, confirmed, and after reading again, raised the microphone and shouted: "The president of Azerbaijan is..."

After a short pause, the host raised the volume again: "It's... Heydar Aliyevich Aliyev!"

Cheers erupted.

Su Cheng didn't understand Russian, but he was familiar with the pronunciation of "Aliyev", so he shook his arms fiercely and stood up.

Wang Guan and other Dahua people cried out excitedly.

Aliyev smiled like Santa Claus.He didn't immediately go up to the high platform, but stood with Husseinov, talking softly.

The two had communicated earlier, and Husseinov actually expected this result.He did not show obvious disappointment, but after a few simple words, he and Aliyev walked towards the high platform arm in arm.

The eyes of the Europeans and Americans present suddenly lit up, including Henkel, they all applauded desperately.

In Western elections, winning an election is important, but it is equally important for the loser to admit defeat.

It can be said that the end of an election should be marked by the speech of the loser, not the speech of the winner.

It is also the trait that failed democracies lack the most.

Han Chenghang also couldn't help but praised: "Husseinov is a soldier who can pick it up and put it down."

"I will never treat him badly." Su Cheng said in a low voice.Husseinov had already obtained the promise of the prime minister, but it was very tempting to be one level lower than the president.

However, Husseinov and Aliyev will part ways sooner or later, which is also destined for Azerbaijan.

Han Chenghang asked curiously, "Where will Director Su get if you reward for meritorious deeds?"

Su Cheng shook his head slightly, he really couldn't tell.
