"As a whole?"
"Impossible!"
After Lynch returned to the Federation and handed over his work, Mr. Trumann brought him to his office.
As soon as they sat down, Mr. Trumann began to talk about his views on the two voices in society. One was a multi-party electoral system, and the other was a joint parliamentary system. But when he mentioned the multi-party electoral system, Lynch firmly opposed it.
Standing in front of Lynch, Mr. Trumann, who was half-sitting and half-leaning on the edge of the desk, held a cup of coffee in his hand. He looked at Lynch seriously. "I have discussed with everyone for a while. Of the two options, we are actually more inclined to the first one. I don't understand why you are so against it."
"From our discussion, we can support two or three parties that are inclined to our position, and a party developed by themselves. This not only reflects our respect for the country of Nagalee, but also allows us to control the political power of this country as much as possible."
He shrugged and took a sip of coffee. "You know …" Swallowing a mouthful of coffee, his Adam's apple bobbed. "In the Federation, the capital controls the results of the election. I believe that in Nagalee, the joint development company can control the results of every election."
"We can easily replace those who don't listen to us and it won't cause any backlash from the public. More importantly, we can do it beautifully and at the same time, we won't have any 'competitors'. You know what I mean, right?"
Lynch nodded after listening. Mr. Trumann meant that as long as the joint development company could control the election and the results of the election through various means, it did not matter which system Nagalee adopted.
Because the joint development company could control the results of the election, the multi-party electoral system was even more necessary for the Federation.
Changing a dictator or changing a party would bring a greater impact to the whole society and even the world at a glance. Changing a dictator, other than the people of the Federation, would think that this was the most powerful evidence of interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
But changing the ruling party was a lot gentler. If a party was disobedient, they would just change it. At the same time, the original party that was born freely, such as the Nagalil Congress Party, would also join the entire multi-party election system. This fully reflected the Federation's respect for the Nagalil independent system.
But Lynch had a different view.
"We all know that not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries is just a formality …" He mercilessly tore apart the 'lies' of Mr. Trumann and the entire upper class of the Federation.
Mr. Trumann was not angry. He just looked at Lynch and motioned for him to continue.
"The biggest drawback of multi-party governance for us is that we allow one or more political ideas to spread into society. This is very dangerous, and what's more dangerous is that we will provide ammunition for the enemy!"
"That …" Lynch frowned. He had forgotten the name of the party.
Mr. Trumann raised his arm and pointed at him, which was also a reminder. "The Congress."
"Yes, the Nagalee Congress. I have not seen them, but I think they are very likely to have evolved from the Nagalee Youth Party. It's just that the Youth Party has been tarnished by themselves, and now they have changed their name."
"But in any case, the Nagalee Congress will not be able to gain the right to rule in a short period of time if we implement a multi-party electoral system."
"I believe we can control all of this. We also have a lot of experience in this area …"
Lynch and the capitalists of the Federation had a lot to say when it came to how capital controlled elections and manipulated election results.
They could control their jobs and ask their employees to stand on the company's side and vote for the candidates recommended by the company. It sounded a bit unbelievable, but this was precisely the most important part of the corporate culture and election culture of the Federation.
Whenever there was a similar event, the company would use the employees' name to let the employees donate to the election office of those candidates, or provide some other convenience.
The employees only needed to obey the company's arrangements and they would receive free food, holidays, and some subsidies.
It was not that no one wanted to rebel against such an unreasonable system. For example, they had their own parties and candidates, and they did not want to vote for someone they did not like.
These people often lost their jobs and then moved to a place where the party they supported was the mainstream. Only then could they obtain "freedom".
But moving to another state and re-establishing a working life in an unfamiliar environment was not an easy thing to do. Not to mention the changes in consumption levels between the two states, just getting a job in the union was not so easy.
Moving to another place may mean three to five months or even longer without a source of income. This was devastating for the working class of the Federation, who did not have the habit of saving money. At the same time, they may miss out on their own pension insurance.
Various social systems restricted the number of times a worker could change jobs. If he changed jobs too many times, he would not be guaranteed after retirement. So whether a person was willing to vote for someone he did not like or not, he had to do so.
He had to think for his own life, for his family's life, for future generations, and for his own life after retirement. Life would make ideals simple and realistic.
With the help of the Federation's capitalists, "votes" appeared one after another. Was a one-sided situation really a reflection of freedom? Perhaps only those who had begun to get used to such a society would think so.
This was also suitable for Nagalee. In a fast-developing society, if people were not careful, they would be eliminated by the whole society. If people did not want their working life to be too far apart from others, their best choice was to obey the arrangements of the capitalists.
But this would give rise to a new problem. If the Nagalee Congress party could not fight for power for a long time, would they do something different?
"It is very likely that they will create some extreme ideas, or a variety of complicated ideas that go against the development of today's society. When these ideas capture the attention of a group of people who are not recognized by society, it will be difficult for us to control the development that follows."
"Trumann, you and I know very well that the most dangerous thing in the world is human thoughts. The things that this group has done before have proved that they are likely to do so."
"What we should do is to restrain them, not provide them with an opportunity to show their thoughts and values!"
Mr. Trumann pondered seriously. He frowned. There were some things that puzzled him. "Why don't we have a problem?"
"Because we are all on the same side. But over there, there is an enemy among us!"
Lynch had basically convinced Mr. Trumann. The slogans put forward by the Youth Party, such as making decisions for themselves, had quickly affected Nagalee society and a large number of young people.
It was a society with a secular regime and a theocracy. Once the shackles on people's minds were lifted, of course, this was an inevitable process. The Federation was considering promoting the idea of removing superstition in Nagalee. This could better liberate the labor force of Nagalee and provide more high-quality labor for the Federation enterprises.
Once the shackles on people's minds were lifted, the messy thoughts swept through all the people like a storm. Some people would stand firmly against the Federation, which was not in the interests of the Federation.
"But if we push for a joint parliamentary system, it will be difficult for you to solve this problem."
Mr. Trumann shook his head. "How do we solve this problem? The Nagalee People's Congress will become a problem. If they become the ruling class of a region, how can we ensure that their thoughts and actions will not continue to expand?"
"They have no power in their hands now. Once we recognize their status, they will become a member of the joint parliament. With power and weapons in their hands, they can do much more than what they can do now!"
Lynch looked at him strangely. His expression was a little funny. "Why should we recognize them?"
He then explained his thoughts. "Why should we recognize some bandits who killed the king as having legal political status? I think this is the biggest joke I have heard this year!"
"The king of the United Kingdom of Nagalee, the royal family, are recognized and equal rulers of the country. Now that these people have been killed by a group of thugs, why should we recognize the legal status of these thugs?"
"I think what we should do now is to eliminate these people. You know, I am very sad about the death of the king and his wife, but I heard that there are still survivors of the royal family. Maybe we can choose someone from these people who is qualified to inherit the spirit and power of the royal family. What do you think?"
Mr. Trumann's expression was also very exaggerated. He put down his coffee cup, turned around, walked to the desk, and sat down. He picked up a pen and started to write. "I have never thought of this idea. You are a f * cking genius!"
In fact, it was not that he had never thought of it, but the actions of the Nagalee People's Congress were largely in line with what the previous Federation government wanted to do — to get some people to rebel against the government and overthrow the government to establish a new regime. However, the Nagalee People's Congress had done what should have been done by those who were bought over by the Federation, so they had not changed their minds yet.
Lynch's words gave Mr. Trumann a very important reminder. If it was his own people who overthrew the royal family, it must have been caused by the tyranny of the royal family. The righteous and angry people stood on the ruins of the palace and the corpse of the royal family and gave the country a new lease of life.
If it was not his own people who overthrew the royal family, it must be the evil thugs who overthrew the righteous rule of the royal family. Eliminating these thugs to avenge the deceased royal family and selecting a successor from the royal family to inherit the power of the royal family was more in line with the international image of justice of the Federation.
