General Election

At the end of May, An Feng finished handling the affairs in the United States.

  Next month is the parliamentary election in Sardinia, and they will have a lot of things to do, so just bring all the luggage and children who are happy not to go to school, and say goodbye to California.

   "Let's go to the beach!" Alice ran on the grass holding the toy plane.

  Joanna extinguished the little girl's joy: "When you get there, hurry up and ask your tutor for advice, and master the tricks of being a princess."

   "Oh no!" Alice pouted, the princess's addiction was over, and her cute little brows kept frowning in the face of the complicated etiquette.

   "Mom." Fred met his mother's smile, "Am I a prince?"

"Of course you are, my dear." Joanna squatted down in front of him—her squatting is also exquisite, and it is a must for any woman to prevent exposure. The difference is that she cannot bend down, and the queen's waist must be straight Straight, especially in public.

She helped Fred tidy his hair, and the child's hair is longer. This is a bad idea of ​​​​the father. He had met Roger's son Edward before. The little guy's big back is so handsome. He also asked a designer to specialize in Fred. De got his hair long, and his lighter hair suits it well.

  An Feng came over holding two ropes, and the two Welsh corgis were very noisy: "Alice, come and take care of your pet!"

   "Got it!" Alice ran to get the rope.

   "What else is left behind, children?" An Feng looked at the two children, "After the plane takes off, I'm afraid we won't be able to return until next year."

   "Nope!" Alice didn't even think about it.

   "Okay, let's go!" An Feng touched the heads of the two guys, said goodbye to the friends who came to see them off, and gave them some time.

  Finally arrive at Santa Barbara Airport, the goods are sent to the transport plane, people and pets are boarded by the business jet, and fly to Los Angeles. After landing, transfer to the "Queen's Special Plane" that has been waiting for a long time. The specially customized Boeing 747 painting has already been completed. It looks very beautiful from a distance.

Stepping on the steps to the cabin, the two children quickly forgot the sadness of parting from their friends, and ran around curiously in the plane, and finally caught the liveliest Alice, pressed her on the seat, and buckled her. Putting on the seat belt, An Feng said to her: "Play after takeoff!"

   "Yes, Dad!" Alice imitated the soldier's tone.

  …

   Arrive in Sardinia in the evening, ready to land at the military airport.

  The local airport in Cagliari can theoretically land a Boeing 747 at risk, but the safe distance is not enough to take off. The airport designer did not consider large passenger planes, so they had to turn to the runway of Anshi Industries. Dezimomanu is a former air force base, and the runway is naturally long enough.

  When the plane landed, An Feng and Joanna were discussing the construction of an international airport in the suburbs. The runway should be at least 3.5 kilometers long, and one runway should be built, and open space should be reserved to meet future development needs. They are full of confidence in the future, and Sardinia must be the most developed country.

  …

   As June approaches, newspapers, television and the Internet are all discussing the general election.

  It is the first parliamentary election in the country, and the real first government will be formed. Their ruling program, future development direction, national defense issues, or issues related to the vital interests of the masses are all being discussed. This is also the key point for MPs to win the hearts and minds of the people.

  Sardinia has a total of eight constituencies. According to the bill signed by the Queen, there will be 35 Senators and 50 Representatives. The number is a bit small, but it is more appropriate for a population of 1.5 million. The party with the majority in the House of Representatives will be the ruling party, with the party leader becoming the prime minister.

   This set is similar to other constitutional monarchy countries.

  The Queen is also concerned about the current situation of the two political parties in the country and understands national politics, but she herself does not have time to collect slowly, and Ms. Roberts will complete this on her behalf. For now, Roberts feels a bit like the queen's first attendant, sharing a lot of work.

  An Feng was relatively leisurely, he went to check various plans.

A month ago, two 200,000-ton cargo ships from Australia had docked, and several major overseas bases were basically evacuated. The number of robots of various types in Anshi Industries reached 42,000, and humanoid ones occupied 2,000 units. Others All for special purposes.

  Hal IV modified the robot program and updated the information of the industrial building.

   These robots, originally used in the military, are now part-time "construction workers". There are many places where they need to start work, a large nuclear power plant in the southern peninsula, the Moncalieri Palace in Cagliari, the new parliament building, schools, and another royal residence on the eastern coast.

  There are also construction projects in the north, and office buildings are needed, but they are the work of construction companies.

  In order to coordinate with the overall style of the city, the building does not adopt the skyscrapers of the New York metropolis, but has a similar style, with a baroque and neoclassical atmosphere, usually not high, but very wide. An Feng has seen the architectural renderings, and it fits very well with the original city.

  The current shortage of materials is also signing agreements with new suppliers.

The first to start construction is the nuclear power plant and the imperial palace. Robots and three-dimensional printers are started at the same time. Not all buildings are printed by machines. Flexible robots can also replace humans, and even better - because they can have many hands, while humans only have two hands. ; They can work 24 hours a day without getting tired, and at most they can recharge their batteries, but humans obviously cannot do non-stop work.

  Eve promises that as long as the building materials are sufficient, she can exert more than ten times the efficiency of humans. Nearly 10,000 robots of various purposes will start working according to the designer's idea. This efficiency is indeed beyond the reach of humans. It is also almost error-free, accurate to the micron level.

   20,000 units of robots are in operation.

  An Feng can be a supervisor with peace of mind, just like a designer, he will take a few glances on time to ensure that the project is carried out correctly.

  The time came to early June, and the queen announced the start of the parliamentary election.

  Residents from all over the country also began to vote according to their constituencies to choose their favorite congressmen. Both senators and representatives are elected in the same way. It is estimated that the selection model of senators will have to be rectified in the future, but now everything is simplified and carried out in the easiest way. The voting period is seven days.

   A week later, the busy statistics phase begins.

  The results will come out at the end of the month. In the House of Representatives that has attracted the most attention, the result is that the Liberal Party has 40 seats and the People's Party has 10 seats. The Liberal Party has undoubtedly been elected as the current ruling party, and the leader of the party, Camillo Mancini, will serve as prime minister for a five-year term. After the fourth year, you have the right to apply to the Queen to dissolve Parliament.

  How to understand? In fact, it depends on the political performance after four years. If the political performance is very good and the timing is right, the prime minister will definitely take the opportunity to dissolve the parliament and call for general elections. Therefore, this model will keep the political party in a state of conscientiousness and maintain good performance at all times.

  In the Senate, the Liberal Party is also dominant.

  It can be said that the original party has accumulated a lot of prestige in the hearts of the local people.

  The interview with the TV station got the reason. The residents believed that promoting independence, accepting the constitutional monarchy, and recognizing Joanna's monarchy were the credit of the Liberal Party.

   The result is that the Liberal Party has been honored by the Queen.

After the election results come out, the queen will first appoint the prime minister and the list of cabinet ministers she submits, and then the opening ceremony of the parliament will be held on July 10, when the queen will preside over the meeting and read out the new government's ruling program, legislation and work direction.

   There are quite a lot of things. Before the queen appointed the prime minister and her cabinet, An Feng found time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mancini.

   Obviously, this kind of heart-to-heart talk is not commonplace.

   Let An Feng come forward, but also pay attention. With the Queen present, the conversation tends to be more... commanding. Although it is a constitutional monarchy, judging by the current popularity of the queen, her words are more effective than anyone else, and almost all voters listen to her. So she came to talk, the current environment is not suitable.

  When An Feng comes to talk, he tends to be more informal.

  In fact, the royal family is also quite tired... An Feng and Mancini took a walk on the lawn outside the hotel, talking about political parties and national affairs.

  Mancini is also aware of An Feng's purpose. He represents the royal family and the consortium supporting Sardinia behind the scenes.

   Mancini greeted: "How are the two children recently, Your Highness?"

   "It's not bad, I'm very used to the environment here." An Feng put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sea, "This is a good place, they all like it."

  Mancini said: "The island has a suitable climate and is very suitable for living, and it will be perfect if the economy develops again."

"You're right." An Feng nodded, "Since I chose it, I have regarded it as an ideal place to live and enjoy the long years. I have high expectations for this place, and I want to build it into an ideal place. Rich country, can you understand this mentality?"

"It's like watching your child grow up in the expected direction." Mancini said, "As a parent, it takes a lot of thought and effort. I can understand His Highness's ideals, and I have also had a young moment , it's just environmental restrictions that don't allow it."

  An Feng looked at him: "It seems that our views are the same."

  Mancini said: "From the moment I swore allegiance to the Queen, the same point of view is from the perspective of serving the country."

An Feng nodded: "I hope we can reach a consensus on important matters in the future. I am frankly pursuing perfectionism and like things to develop in an ideal direction, but there will inevitably be incomprehension and even conflicting opinions. I hope Sir can understand."

  Mancini said: "Contribution to the country is admirable, and we support this behavior."

  An Feng stopped and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Mancini, I find it easy and pleasant to talk to you, bless the country!"

   "Bless the Queen!" Mancini shook hands with him.

  The two continued to walk forward talking and laughing, but the topic has changed to a lighter aspect.

  An Feng's interview with Mancini was nothing more than testing the opponent's bottom line. In future development, it is impossible for the royal family not to intervene. After all, this is the key first step. If you encounter a stubborn guy who insists on outdated principles, the royal family will also establish its own attitude and support.

  Now the prestige of the government in the hearts of the masses is not as high as that of the queen. She is the core of the whole country. Once she is dissatisfied with the government, judging by the support of the people, even if she removes the prime minister and dissolves the parliament, she will not be opposed. But very well, Mancini's choice is very wise.

   In his opinion, there is no choice here. If you want to develop, besides the royal family has this ability, what else?

   Therefore, cooperating with the actions of the royal family is the key link for them to achieve political achievements and the country's good development. No one will have trouble with the queen on this point.
