Chapter 1853 - 1853: 1853
This kind of political innovation is indeed extremely creative.
Moreover, in the eyes of some Great Countries, this is simply dangerous behavior.
To use a foreigner to serve one's own country's politics, especially for major matters like diplomacy, is absolutely taboo!
However, Liu Zhizhong doesn't think so, nor does Chi Zhongshui, haha...
Liu Zhizhong's idea is very simple, yet quite advanced. At least, as a national president and the founder of the Wale Republic, he believes that as long as he can lead the entire Party and government personnel to become a service-oriented group, focusing on citizens, on their sense of security and happiness, and significantly improving the security of their work, education, healthcare, pension, and personal safety, thus enhancing their sense of living satisfaction, isn't that enough?
In the philosophy of modern civilization, I am a nation, but I am also a world citizen, entitled to the rights that citizens should have. Interestingly, the Valle people have enjoyed it.
So, what grievances do the people of the Wale Republic have? The many years of hardships are gone, they are on the road to happiness, who cares who the president is, or who the government officials and clerks are, even if it's a foreigner, why not? Foreigners are people too, not monsters.
The people trust the government's selection mechanism and the government's actions, isn't that the best foundation for governance?
When a government loses the trust of its people, how far can that government go? Liu Zhizhong has experienced a lot, seen a lot, so he understands a lot.
Governing the Wale Republic is like cooking a small fresh fish, he knows how to do it!
Returning to the temporary President's Mansion, Liu Zhizhong simply took a shower, had a quick meal, and immediately dove into intense work.
As for Evil Luo Shi's Puerjing request, whether he is satisfied with the reply or not, let him be! Agreeing to meet you via video is already a huge kindness. If he is unwilling and insists on tonight, sorry, the old man doesn't serve, go fall into a ditch!
Next, within seven hours, nearly until after nine in the evening, Liu Zhizhong held six departmental meetings, all very brief and powerful, directly addressing the crux of the issues, focusing on constructively resolving problems, to effectively defuse crises.
The first one, Liu Zhizhong decided, at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, in the small town of Liangjia Chong on the eastern border of the Wale Republic, to discuss border issues with the Myanmar Government.
Liangjia Chong?
My goodness...
Am I seeing it right, it's Liangjia Chong—this town closely related to Liu Zhizhong's narrow escape, of course, it is also a big local town, haha...
The invitation to negotiate on territorial disputes from the Myanmar Government was responded to by the Wale Republic like this.
We will be waiting for you to negotiate in a small town less than 80 kilometers from the border, it doesn't matter if you come or not, we will go and wait there. If you come, we will talk properly; if you don't come, we will have something to say!
The second issue involves the project plan by the Eastern Pot to build a total of ten cascade power stations upstream on the East and West Pa Rivers, for which Liu Zhizhong's government has devised several protest and counterattack plans.
The first plan: Appeal the environmental assessment report to the United Nations World Environment Agency and UNESCO, protest, and apply for an arbitration plan, allowing Eastern Pot a maximum of just two power stations. Appeal materials will be developed by our nation's Ministry of Environmental Development in conjunction with renowned global environmental and geology experts, forming a scientific report.
The second plan: Organize the Valle people to conduct nationwide demonstrations and strikes against the construction of the Eastern Pot's large-scale project, defending the right to survival, and lift corresponding media controls to broadcast live to the world, escalating the public opinion to a global level!
The third plan: On the cascade hydropower group issue, send a diplomatic note to the Eastern Pot requesting a meeting and negotiation at the border town of Qu Dong Town on the border between Changnan State and Wabei Province.
Yes, you read it right, it's another border town!
We'll wait for you there, if you come, we'll talk; if you don't come, we'll have more to say!
The fourth plan: A backup plan! If the appeal plan fails, we need a ruthless backup, how ruthless is this ruthless move? Hehe...
Through the decision of a full meeting, if the first three responses fail and Eastern Pot insists on constructing the hydropower group, the Wale Republic will commence the construction of a grand diversion canal, because with you building power stations upstream, blocking the water, and releasing the flood, we can't guarantee safety for agriculture and habitation downstream, thus we must construct this diversion canal.
This water diversion canal, from the northwest border corner of Wabei, will excavate a canal up to 1500 meters wide at its widest, and about 200 meters at its narrowest, channeling the middle and upper reaches of Southeast Asia's largest Meimu River, forming three-tier hydraulic buffered artificial lakes.
This water diversion canal is not long, only 120 kilometers, but the investment will reach 30 billion US dollars, boosting the GDP of the Wale Republic with a new contribution, isn't that right? The Wale Republic is not short of money, what it lacks is the dignity of a small country!
Where does the dignity of a small country come from?
It does not come from considerable military strength, but from economic prosperity and vibrancy, from the sense of well-being of the citizens!
This water diversion canal's entrance is naturally small enough to allow control of water intake during the rainy season when Meimu River water surges in.
It will directly be connected with East and West Pa Rivers at the entry point in Wabei and then flow down south to the sea.
Once the dry season arrives, with the upstream East Pot hydropower group closing gates to reserve water and the downstream suffering severe drought, the role of the water diversion canal will become apparent, safeguarding the ecology and agricultural production along both East and West Pa Rivers.
Once the rainy season comes, with upstream power stations wildly discharging floods, won't it cause ecological disasters along the Pajiang coasts of the Wale Republic?
It won't!
According to the Wale Republic's Ministry of Water Resources' design plan, on the right bank of the grand canal, that is to the north side, a flood discharge outlet will be opened. Once the flood in East and West Pa Rivers exceeds historic water levels and flows into the last reservoir dam of the canal, this outlet will open, part of the flood will flow downstream but the other part will backflow into Changnan State.
The backflow overflow area in Changnan State is a vast plain region, very fertile, it has always been a population, agriculture, and industry hub. Such backflow flooding losses, let's see if the Eastern Pot can bear it?
More intriguingly, the site for the production and recycling of that new energy battery is also selected in the backflow overflow zone, notably at a low valley mountainous area, ask it if it can bear such losses? Haha...
