204 Caprice by the window

Early spring in Paris is not as cold as expected, and in fact the climate in Europe is sometimes even better than the warmer and wetter south of East Asia. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info many places in the south will be cold and damp in this season, and the cold air has to drill into people's bones, not to mention the north, if the wind does not blow until the beginning of April, it will definitely not stop. Then summer came, and when people took off their padded jackets, they immediately realized that it was time to wear short clothes.

In comparison, the temperature difference in Europe is not so large, after December and January, although there is often a light rain, but the temperature is generally good, the body is stronger, you don't have to wear too thick, you can live comfortably. Probably the westerly wind blowing from the sea is always warmer than the northwesterly wind blowing from the depths of Eurasia.

Although Chu Bai is not in bad health, he is still greedy for warmth, half leaning on the window of the small building where he lives, and there is still a fire burning in the room, the poor family has long extinguished this welfare, after all, the current temperature is not difficult, but Chu Bai would rather light the fire in the house, and wear a light linen shirt and suspenders than extinguish it.

As the first diplomat of Datang stationed abroad, with a senior title at the level of vice minister, Chu Bai, who is in his early thirties, is proud of his career. The good salary of Datang civil servants and the high subsidies and travel expenses abroad, plus Chu Bai does not need any additional expenses to be an older single, so the money for burning the stove is really nothing to Chu Bai.

It's like this residence provided to him by the French government, which was a down-and-out baron's mansion before, and it was not particularly luxurious, but it was never shabby, and Chu Bai trembled his purse. Almost two months' salary can buy this property. Simply his income. Even Bai Nan, who is higher in the hierarchy than him, can't be compared. At least Bai Nam has slowly faded out of his role in the National Council since last year. This is not because Bai Nan's status has declined and is not reused, but Bai Nan's next focus will be on the Cuckoo Project, and the National Council has been established for many years, and the administrative capacity of each ministry has almost been built, and there is no need for a special miscellaneous counselor's office to subsidize everywhere. As soon as Paiknam steps on a warship bound for East Asia, the Counsellor's Office will be formally abolished from the National Council, and the original personnel will be transferred to other ministries and commissions, as well as the internal institutions such as the Secretariat, the Finance Department, and the Personnel Department, which will be completely regularized.

Chu Bai and Bai Nan are not particularly familiar. However, I am still envious and jealous of Bai Nan. Bai Nan himself has a good background, and he has a high IQ and ability, so he has a very high starting point, and in their age group, regardless of military or political, Bai Nan's status is the first. Moreover, people are accustomed to calling Bai Nan a petty president in private, after all, President Zhao Daling is a soldier, and he has a standard of war training and management, but he is really a matter of governance and strategy. There are no particular advantages. And everyone knows that a lot of things have been tossed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and eighty or ninety percent of them were made up by Bai Nan. The president has the greatest say in the cabinet. And Bai Nam has the most influence in the president, so there is really no one who can compare with Bai Nam.

Even if Bai Nan is about to step down from the post of General Counselor and be the director of the State Strategy Office, Chu Bai knows very well that if the Du Juan plan succeeds and the Tang Dynasty establishes a new territory in East Asia, Bai Nan's position as a governor is no longer running. If you think about it, becoming the governor of China, or the governor of the Far East, or the governor of the Western Pacific, is no longer a matter of being a little bit stronger than Hu Fakui, the governor of Borneo. At that time, Bai Nan was injured and took control of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, deciding the fate of 300 million people or more.

Chu Bai himself is a diplomat, and he has seen these things very thoroughly. The Tang Dynasty will never use the word colony on China, the homeland of all Tang people, and everyone seems to feel very rusty with the overseas consulates, and Chu Bai himself prefers the "Great China Administrative Region of the Tang Republic" or something. Chu Bai felt that if the Tang Dynasty could really successfully take over this region, there might even be a situation in the future where the power of the East Asian Governor was greater than that of the president, and at worst, it might even be possible that the East Asian Governor would be directly elected as the president after his term of office expired, which would become the only way in his political career.

At the very least, Chu Bai believes that Bai Nan's political trajectory is already determined. Zhao Daling's term of office as a president has expired this year (five years), and he is still in the prime of life, and he has a lot of prestige in the country, and he can at least do two more worlds. At that time, Bai Nan was only in his early forties, but all kinds of prestige and achievements were almost finished, and he was directly appointed president, and others didn't need to think about it, because in the political genealogy of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Daling's generation was in the right years, and Bai Nan and Chu Bai's generation were growing rapidly, but they were about forty years old but had no qualifications and ability to take on heavy responsibilities, so it was a state of discontinuity. So it is most likely that Zhao Daling will serve three years, or resign voluntarily in the fourth term, and Bai Nan, who is in his forties, will take over.

The powerful Bai Nan has no problem in terms of military and political connections or personal ability, and he can sit on the presidential throne for 20 years, that is, four terms.

Although the current situation of the Tang regime does not clearly have a confirmed upper and lower mechanism, in fact, the prototype has been revealed. It is still a typical one, with full consideration of the opinions of all parties, to ensure concentration as much as possible. Complete internal fragmentation is not allowed, but disagreement and competition do not hinder health. Obviously, the newcomers after Bai Nan must be recognized by the public on the basis of their personal qualifications and abilities, and they also need to be recognized by the current generation, that is, the generation of Bai Nan and Chu Bai. Although it has a strong sense of designated inheritance, this group of people who are accustomed to efficiency and uniqueness can just laugh when they hear something like universal/elective/elective.

When a system claims to be "probably not the best, but it's not the worst", there is nothing progressive about it. When the times have exhausted all their advancedness, it is natural that all sorts of things will torment the system. In Europe it may be called the budget, in the United States it may be called the financial crisis, in Japan it may be called extreme rightism, in some islands it may be called populism, well, in some deserts it may be called "anla-ahm-akbar", anyway, every country has its own painful things, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the Great Hope Country hoped to unify the martial arts with a nine-yin scripture, which was just a joke.

In short, half a century is too long to think about this kind of thing, almost 30 years, and after 30 years, some people will naturally start to come up with solutions to the new form. Chu Bai felt that at that time, they, the "ancients", should not think that they have newer wisdom than future people, and once saw through the future, just let them solve these problems.
