Chapter 1857 - 1857:
Indeed, the road ahead is long and arduous!
A good start does not guarantee the future!
A prosperous future always requires staying true to one's original aspiration and commitment to the end, a principle Liu Zhizhong deeply understands.
After breakfast, for the future, for the peace of the Valle, let's move on!
Liu Zhizhong's presidential helicopter took off!
His helicopter is also a super large customized model, purely luxurious for private enjoyment. Naturally, it has office space, comprehensive communication signals, and radar escort functions.
Once airborne, the radar must be activated. If locked onto by a missile, it will automatically alert, instructing the crew to take evasive action. Of course, there are two basic maneuvers if a missile locks onto a helicopter: one, deploy decoys—spectacular and quite effective; two, evacuate with parachutes, though this scenario only occurs in a dire situation.
Of course, around the Valle Republic, there really isn't any force capable of launching the second kind of attack!
Liu Zhizhong's presidential helicopter is not just limited to one.
Accompanying it are two identical helicopters serving as decoys for his protection. Isn't that sophisticated? If someone wants to target his helicopter, they'd have to put in a lot of effort.
However, who among the Valleans or the major nations maintaining good international relations with the Valle Republic would consent to harm a young leader like Liu Zhizhong?
Besides the three presidential helicopters, six top-tier armed helicopters are circling around as escorts, equipped with a counter-radar short-range missile defense system. It's indeed formidable.
The total cost of this powerful presidential helicopter flight squadron exceeds 3 billion US dollars. The regular maintenance is also staggering.
But such customized helicopters have the support of global arms giants. Once activated, the manufacturers' backends also implement corresponding monitoring measures to ensure everything is foolproof.
The usual maintenance team is also from the helicopter manufacturers, absolutely giant arms suppliers. They are stationed long-term to serve these helicopters, handling daily maintenance.
At 7:15 in the morning, Liu Zhizhong's presidential fleet took off vertically from Kachin City, heading straight over 200 kilometers to Liangjia Chong Town.
Returning to Liangjia Chong, Liu Zhizhong certainly felt nostalgic, but he was even more confident about the future.
He rose from Liangjia Chong, struggled, fought, and quickly achieved groundbreaking miracles, hoping to maintain these miraculous achievements in the future!
Liangjia Chong Town has now undergone significant changes!
The infrastructure is complete, the streets broad and beautiful.
The residential renovations are complete, with beautiful homes that are even more comfortable.
The town's hospital, schools, and town office buildings have all been renovated or newly built, looking brand new.
Liu Zhizhong's fleet circled the town twice, akin to a presidential inspection.
Seeing the once ramshackle but large town now with a new look, Liu Zhizhong felt immensely gratified.
Not long after, the fleet slowly landed on the square in front of the town's office building in Liangjia Chong. The surrounding helicopters provided a formidable guard for the three central presidential helicopters.
The newly built square has ample space for aircraft. Today, it was cleared to accommodate the president's arrival.
On the ground, security was directly handled by the police from Liangjia Chong, and on high ground surrounding the area, there were snipers from the Goa People's Army ensuring safety beyond doubt.
In the sky, it was the drones from the Valle Republic's National Security Department on duty, ensuring absolute security.
Of course, the president's visit here is different from other places, as there are special regulations.
The regulation is: When the president visits a place, there is no announcement, no prior notice, except for security, it doesn't affect the daily operations of the local Party and government; everyone continues with their work, no need for receptions or flattery!
Therefore, when Liu Zhizhong arrived here and got off the helicopter, not even the town mayor came out to greet him.
The presidential service team had arrived the night before, already setting up the venue for negotiations with Myanmar's Prime Minister, with reception arrangements in place.
Even when negotiating with a foreign head of state, the meeting room in the town government used by Liu Zhizhong as president is not free. It is accounted for in the state expenses of the President's Mansion and is part of the official expenditure.
The president cannot use local office resources for free since those resources are merely for serving local citizens.
The president also cannot indulge in local expenditures for meals and drinks; local funds are taxpayers' money, destined only to serve the local citizens.
The president's expenses have their own financial allocations; this is the regulation, which no one can violate.
Of course, though Liangjia Chong is a town of tens of thousands, its mayor, according to constitutional requirements, is only accountable to the city mayor above him and to local citizens, not necessarily to the president.
Why?
Because the mayor is elected by local citizens, appointed by the superior city mayor, having no direct ties to the president!
Is this logical relationship clear? Do you understand?
If Liu Zhizhong asked the mayor to do something which the mayor deemed inappropriate, against regulations, or unreasonable, he could refuse!
Of course, Liangjia Chong indeed has a People's Party branch, which is part of the organizational structure, without any issues.
The secretary of the Party branch can only handle Party matters, manage Party members, and cooperate with government work. He can receive management and task assignments from Liu Zhizhong, but if Liu Zhizhong, the Party head, makes unreasonable management decisions or assignments, the local secretary can also refuse and submit it to the Central Committee of the People's Party as evidence of the Party head's performance evaluation.
Can you believe such Party management? Are you convinced?
Meanwhile, the local Party secretary will certainly not serve as the primary decision-maker in local administration, even though these primary leaders are often members of the People's Party, the secretary cannot interfere with administrative management, cannot meddle in many significant administrative and construction projects, and definitely cannot interfere recklessly and submit unsubstantiated complaints.
The Valle Republic's Party controls everything, indeed it governs all Party members and all military forces, which is quite characteristic and without flaw. However, the Party absolutely does not meddle in economic livelihoods or misdirect the army of civil servants, ha-ha…
The organizations within the Party, administration, judiciary, and armed forces, essentially these four driving forces, all perform their respective duties without overstepping—the Valle Republic, this is how splendid it is!
Once Liu Zhizhong arrived, the presidential service team promptly escorted them into the negotiation meeting room.
Along the way, there were certainly town government staff warmly greeting him, calling him President, referring to him as Mr. Zhongshui, exchanging greetings, shaking hands briefly, and everyone continued with their work.
After Liu Zhizhong was seated, the Vice President in charge of receiving Myanmar's Prime Minister also set off…
