African Nationhood

(Thanks to book friend Aki_ye for tipping, thank you puppet!)

Everyone perked up when they heard this. Only Cai Shaoji was a little anxious, but he couldn't object to the boss's words.

Shi Jintang took out a picture from his hand and motioned to Cai Shaoji, who was sitting nearest him, to show it.

Cai Shaoji took the picture, unfolded it, and hung it in front of the conference table.

"Hang it up, Mr. Shi."

Shi Jintang stood up and came to the diagram, "According to the British idea, our autonomous territory requires 'separation of three powers', that is, 'legislative power', 'executive power' and 'judicial power'.

The British have had a constitutional monarchy for hundreds of years, but what about their government? Everyone has many years of administrative experience and should have a deep understanding of this.

And we Chinese all understand that apart from objective laws, there is basically no political system that is "one size fits all" in this world.

What is suitable for Chinese people may not be suitable for white people or black people, and what is suitable for white people may not be suitable for Chinese people and black people.

Therefore, I modified the British requirements to make the future power structure of the Dominion more suitable for our Chinese-dominated political system. "

At this point, although everyone in the meeting hall was expressionless, they understood in their hearts.

Boss Shi said so many high-sounding words, but his ultimate goal was to centralize power.

The political system that the Chinese are most accustomed to is centralized power, and things like "separation of powers" are still a bit unfamiliar to them.

Tie Lan was the first person to accept Western-style democracy, and he wanted to refute Boss Shi.

But if you think about yourself, not only will it be difficult to change Boss Shi's mind, but it will also make Boss Shi even more jealous of you.

As long as Boss Shi doesn't go too far, he can still tolerate it.

The only white people present were James Lister and Sansa Bruce, a British white man and a Dutch white man. They had been obeying Boss Shi for so many years in the company, and they had long been accustomed to the centralized decision-making model.

But if you ask about their tendencies, they will still think that the "constitutional monarchy" system is the best. After all, their home countries have this system.

……

"The future organizational structure of the Dominion will be that the Parliament, the Council of State and the Judicial Council coexist. In principle, the heads of the three major institutions are independent of each other and cannot serve concurrently."

After hearing Boss Shi say this, everyone basically understood.

The heads of the three major institutions are basically equivalent to the national leaders. In this way, the principle of "separation of powers" is still adhered to.

A slight smile appeared on Tie Lan's face. He was not happy because he was about to be promoted to a high position like the head of the judicial committee, but because he felt that Boss Shi was not too exaggerated.

He didn't have any dictatorial intentions, at least he didn't want to consolidate all three important positions into one person.

……

“Parliament is the highest authority in the autonomous territory, and the parliament is divided into two systems: the central parliament and the local parliament.

The Central Council has 500 members, who are elected by each local constituency, and the local councils have 300 members, who are also elected.

The election of members of parliament requires registration and declaration of political parties before they can participate in the election.

The parliament has a standing body, which is divided into one chairman and deputy chairman and ten chairman.

In case of voting, the Speaker has two votes, and the Deputy Speaker and Chairman have one vote each.

The Parliament has the power of supervision and legislative power over the various administrative agencies of the Dominion. The supervisory power of the Parliament lies in supervising whether the measures of the administrative plan are implemented in place, and it has the right to hold the heads of various administrative agencies accountable.

Legislative power is better understood. All laws in the Dominion need to be reviewed and approved by Parliament and then have legal effect. "

After hearing this, everyone understood a little bit. If the parliament only has these two powers, what kind of highest authority is it?

What about the power of appointment and dismissal of the heads of state administrative agencies?

“The Council of State is the highest body of the administrative body. The Council is composed of the Cabinet, which is composed of:

Twelve departments including the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Animal Husbandry, Ministry of Human Resources, Ministry of Culture and Education, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Ministry of Medicine and Health, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Land and Resources, Ministry of Overseas Affairs, Ministry of Urban and Rural Development, and Ministry of Police.

The State Council shall have one chairman, one deputy secretary-general and one deputy secretary-general, and twelve members.

The Secretary-General concurrently serves as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Deputy Secretary-General is responsible for the daily administrative affairs of the State Council, and the heads of the twelve major departments automatically concurrently serve as members of the State Council.

The Chairman has the power to appoint and remove the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General and officials from subordinate departments and government agencies at all levels. "

As soon as Boss Shi said this, everyone understood that the power was still concentrated in Boss Shi's hands and was not dispersed at all.

Then everyone began to assume their future positions, only Cai Shaoji and Shi Jinyong were a little disappointed.

It was obvious that the position of prime minister was reserved for Ouyang Geng who was not present, and Cai Shaoji could only serve as the chief minister of the Ministry of Culture and Education.

Shi Jinyong was lost because the commercial department he was responsible for was actually split into two departments: industry and commerce and land and resources. His authority was weakened.

“The Judicial Committee includes a chairman and eight judicial committee members. The nine members of the Judicial Committee all hold the position of justice and can take turns running for the position of chairman of the Judicial Committee.

The Judicial Committee has the highest power of interpretation in the judicial system and has the power to nominate the presidents of the Supreme Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

The Judicial Committee consists of two systems: the Supreme Court and the Supreme Procuratorate, both of which are official systems.

At the same time, the two Supreme Courts are also affiliated with the Ministry of Justice under the National Committee, and the appointment and dismissal power of the two Supreme Court presidents lies with the National Council. "

After listening to the organizational description of the Judicial Committee, Tie Lan sighed. The chairman of the Judicial Committee was basically his final destination.

He is currently sixty years old, how many more years can he live?

Although Boss Shi is young, he has never loosened his grip on power.

This young man acts steadily and is neither impatient nor impatient. It will be a matter of course for him to ascend to the throne and become a dictator in the future.

……

Shi Jintang looked at the people in the meeting hall and smiled, "This is my initial idea. Commissioner Ouyang's negotiations with the British are still ongoing, and the final result may be different, but generally it should not change.

After you go back, you need to prepare early. The deputies of each ministry need your recommendations.

In addition, many subdivisions must be established under each department. The candidates for the chief officers and deputies of these subdivisions must be reported and temporarily handed over to Commissioner Cai Shaoji. These officials need to be screened before they can be appointed.

Now I am here to announce a position to you first, that is Commissioner Cai Shaoji.

He will be the deputy secretary-general of the National Committee. In addition to being responsible for the daily administrative affairs of the National Committee, he will also be responsible for the screening and recommendation of officials at all levels in various ministries. "

Hearing this, Cai Shaoji was so excited that his whole body was numb. This deputy secretary-general actually served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Now he was not satisfied with anything, so he nodded excitedly to Boss Shi.

"Okay, Mr. Shi, I will do a good job in screening officials at all levels."

Shi Jintang smiled and nodded to him, "Come on, come with me to greet Teacher Rong Hong." (End of Chapter)
