MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 439 November 1st
Chapter 439 November 1st
Things finally come to a successful conclusion.
The seemingly short time from the outside world, from the beginning of August to the end of October, determines the birth of a new sovereign, but for An Feng and Joanna, too much time and energy have been spent on preparations. They had discussed repeatedly before, listing the reasons why they could and could not do it.
They also discussed frequently with the consortium to decide where the bottom line of the negotiation was, and they also consulted Bazel and other experienced people in society on how to consolidate authority and create a positive image—more specifically, how to control a government quietly. Just like they once affected America.
They discussed it with their relatives and friends, especially Joanna's mother. She supported her daughter in this decision. From her point of view, with Joanna's current prestige, instead of staying ordinary, it would be better to spread her wings and soar into the sky... Their big help came from Kelly.
There are also some relatives and friends who find it unbelievable, but they have no strong objection—if before the disease disaster, he would have received a lot of dissuasion and compliments, but now, this couple has reached the top of the legend, and as ordinary citizens, they really cannot support the savior and spirit The aura of the leader.
Finally, they have to rush to study the etiquette necessary for the head of state. Although the monarch is symbolic, they are used for important occasions, foreign visits and other occasions. Former President Anderson specially taught them the tricks. The housekeeper Brandon also Specially prepared royal etiquette.
After a series of complicated preparations, this day ushered in.
The night before the agreement was signed, Joanna asked An Feng: "Do you think I can do well?"
"Don't worry, you will!" An Feng said, "Just like before you encouraged everyone to stand up and lead them to fight against the disease!"
"Yes!" She said firmly.
…
After the agreement on the 30th is signed, it will be officially announced at 0:00 on the 31st.
All over the world heard this shocking news one after another, and countless media broadcast and commented on it, and everyone’s friends were stunned!
Unparalleled generosity—the buyer is private! If it was a country, it would be surprising at best, but now it is a private purchase of a country!
People read yesterday's Forbes list, the richest man in the world has assets worth 80 billion U.S. dollars, some people think that the wealthiest person is more than that, and may have hundreds of billions of assets—and for the transaction amount of 420 billion, this stuff It's cash!
With hundreds of billions of assets, how much cash can you have? And 420 billion cash, how many assets are needed? Definitely have more than one trillion assets!
Who is this man! Still let people live?
Countless people all over the world have this kind of thought in their hearts, and they no longer have any idea of comparing and surpassing, which is simply impossible.
From Europe to Asia, and from Asia to America... people are stunned.
There was gossip on the Internet before, and people also guessed a little bit in reality. The assets of the An family may be very terrifying, but the imagination of the head is still not enough. No one dares to think about it. More than 100 million cash! Even if it's not a one-time payment, it's scary enough.
China's domestic media directly gave the headline: "Top rich people are now buying countries"!
The popular discussion among the people is non-stop. Netizens think that their hero An is already invincible, and the whole universe can't stop him from burning money.
Some people even wrote comments about recognizing him as a godfather, looking for opportunities to hook up with his daughter, presenting chrysanthemums to his son, etc. They all marveled at this horrible wealth, showing off their wealth in any form in the past, posting deposits and Airplanes are all weak, and now people are showing the country!
American society is also extremely shocked, but people's emotions are obviously calmer, because too many miracles and successes have been staged in the United States, envy is inevitable, but it also proves that there is a chance to achieve the same success here, and then countless people squeeze their heads Come find the "American Dream".
As for the U.S. government, it vaguely feels that they have made a fool of themselves.
But it's too late to do anything now, An Feng's important assets are all in the name of Joanna, she is British—and she is about to become a monarch with absolute immunity. An Feng's economic activities in the United States are all legal and reasonable, and he contributes a huge amount of taxes every year, so there is no way to investigate him.
And with his network, even if you check it, you can't go deep.
It is certain that the world was in shock on this day. The legendary figure not long ago has now created an unsurpassable legend.
…
The first day of November was established as the National Day of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
They got up early in the morning, and at the local parliament building in Cagliari, Joanna watched the first meeting of the country as an uncrowned queen. The provisional government officially discussed and issued the new country’s constitution and the latest bills. Determine the foundation of the entire kingdom.
The name of the country is the Kingdom of Sardinia; the system is a constitutional monarchy, specifically a parliamentary constitutional monarchy; the king (queen) is the head of state and the supreme commander of the armed forces, and the parliament represents the will of the people and is divided into two chambers, the Senate and the Parliament, to exercise legislative power ; The Prime Minister is the head of government.
A lot of content, absorbing the characteristics of other constitutional monarchy countries.
The national flag of the country is also established, with a white cross, a red background and a blue border. This aspect is greatly influenced by the Sardinian dynasty, but after all, it is an innovation on the original basis. The national anthem is currently established as "Long Live Sardinia".
There are many more details, and the meeting lasted three and a half hours.
All in all, the parliament gave An Feng the desired result, the monarch enjoys a lot of relief privileges, and these privileges also allow her to hand over the land rights, which belong to her in name in 999, and the actual manager is the national government , the queen has the right to supervise and advise.
An Feng doesn't care about land rights, and he doesn't care about taxes. The most important thing is the overseas tax exemption. Several companies are registered in the offshore financial zone. The royal family holds the shares, and the members of the consortium participate in proportion. would be a scary number.
The queen still has a lot of rights. The constitution clearly stipulates that she is a landowner, and she is only entrusted to the government to manage in exchange for corresponding privileges. Once the number is passed, the parliament is dissolved and elections are held. The newly elected two chambers approved the amendments and began to develop a new constitution. At the same time, a referendum was held to determine the result.
It is very difficult to amend the constitution involving the rights of the queen. After the parliament proposes, the queen must dissolve the parliament and let the next new parliament decide, and a referendum must be passed. As long as the queen is not making a grave mistake—and the constitutional monarchy dictates that she is almost incapable of doing so—her rights are unlikely to be violated.
Furthermore, An Feng has the help of a consortium of think tanks. The royal family controls the country's major economic lifelines and at the same time controls the politicians. With two-pronged control, even the first step proposed by the parliament will be an impossible hypothesis—let alone the queen Angrily dissolved parliament.
This law is actually considered to protect the rights of future generations.
In addition to the privileges that Anfeng and the consortium most hope to grasp, the queen's rights include: signing and promulgating laws; convening and dissolving parliament; nominating candidates for the prime minister, appointing the prime minister, and removing the prime minister according to the constitution; Member; publishes decrees passed by the Council of Ministers, confers civil and military titles, honors in accordance with constitutional provisions; hears reports on state affairs...
These are also the same as the general parliamentary monarchy. Many people think that the king (queen) of the constitutional monarchy is a display. The Sword of Damocles hanging overhead.
It is prudent that this kind of right cannot be used frequently, such as the Queen of England, but you cannot deny that she can use it—the only worry is that the prestige is not enough, which will make the public psychologically resistant. Under the premise of sufficient prestige, the queen can domineeringly exercise her privileges as the king of a country.
But the concept of privilege is useless. In 1975, the Communist Party ordered the Governor-General to dismiss the Prime Minister of the Australian Government, dissolved the upper and lower houses, and fired everyone. A month later, the new government was in the Governor-General reorganized under supervision.
(PS: Specific content Wikipedia '1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis')
The standard rights of a constitutional monarchy, plus a little bit of land management in exchange for privileges that are not claimed, the nature of the kingdom is more inclined to a dual constitutional monarchy (dual monarchy has great rights), specifically the queen's rights between parliamentary and dualist systems.
The reason for this decision is that the royal family has too much influence.
People all over the world respect them. Most of the residents of Sardinia were encouraged by Joanna and rescued by the antibody developed by An Feng at the darkest time of their lives. These two alone are enough to make everyone support them. There is a saying that it is difficult to remember the people who flatter you when you are in the sky, but when you are most lost and desperate, you will be grateful to those who give you a helping hand.
In general, prestige gives the queen great power.
The last item is closely related to the queen: the coronation ceremony. Because this is the first time that the country was founded, there is no previous example. Although the history of the monarchy of Sardinia can be traced back to the Sardinian Dynasty, or the earliest time when it was inhabited by the Phoenicians, this is not the same history.
After considering various factors and the queen's attitude, she decided to hold the coronation after October next year.
The current conditions are not suitable, the queen does not have a palace, Cagliari does have some legacy palaces, but they are from the Garibaldi era, with a strong Catholic atmosphere, and Joanna is from the Anglican Church, although in An Feng's view, they are all beliefs Same Lord, but it would be painful to convert her.
However, Protestants on the island account for 40% of the population (fictional), which is on par with Catholicism. The coronation ceremony a year later can be held in a Protestant church. It doesn't feel good, and everyone can understand religious issues.
It was almost noon after the meeting.
There were crowds of people on both sides of the street outside the parliament building. Countless residents gathered here spontaneously to celebrate and plan to see for themselves the real face of the queen they unanimously elected. Some people came to occupy their seats before dawn. An Feng arrived by car in the morning At that time, I thought it was a tent against demolition...
When they were about to leave, the bodyguard informed them of the grand occasion outside.
Joanna looked at An Feng, but An Feng's face was calm, and she didn't have any intention to speak. She was smart and immediately realized that she is now the real head of state and a noble queen. She said: "Communicate with the police to maintain order, I will appear in front of the people."
"Yes." The bodyguard left immediately, and the sheriff waiting outside also received the news. He immediately issued an order, and the police stood in front of the crowd to maintain order.
Soon, in the expectation of everyone, Joanna came out accompanied by her husband. She stood on the steps of the parliament, and the crowd around burst into cheers and applause. She raised her hand and waved. This action has gone through many times The training was very standard, An Feng glanced around.
The street was crowded with people, and there was almost no room to put their feet. Joanna walked down the steps slowly and came to the crowd, smiling and waving amidst the cheers. A month ago, she had established her public image problem, less serious and more smiling.
But the queen's majesty still has to be there, and the degree of smile must be grasped. She practiced in front of the mirror for a while, and seeing the enthusiastic response of the people now, Queen Elizabeth, who cheered in broken English, knew that her efforts were not in vain. This image is very good.
But the queen's name is different.
Her full name is: Elizabeth Joanna Circe Stanwell-Ann, consisting of her Christian name, two self-named names, and a combined surname. The combination of surnames was suggested by An Feng. He doesn't mind the surnames of the child and the parents... but it is obviously more suitable to spell them together.
Queen Elizabeth, in fact, this is the correct name in English. The Christian name is the most common in foreign countries, but Joanna prefers the name given by her parents, including the two children in the family who are also called by their first names instead of their Christian names. In the end, she decided on a unified address and called her own name.
Correspondingly, the two children were also able to notify the public in writing that Claire Alice Kelly Stanwell-Ann is not Princess Claire but Princess Alice; Alexander Fred James. Stanwell-Ann is called Prince Fred.
The order of English names has been messed up. Fortunately, it is Sardinia here, and what is even better is that she is the queen and she decides.
Accompanying Joanna to walk forward, the surrounding crowd was enthusiastic, and they stretched out their hands, wanting to shake hands with Joanna, but she smiled and kept a certain distance from them. An Feng next to him was very low-key, but someone called his name, but the Italian pronunciation was very strange.
And Joanna got the wrong name too...
An Feng was thinking about whether to change his name to something that was easier to pronounce.
According to European practice, he is the queen's husband, and he will generally be awarded the title of "Duke". News should never be random.
