The troops controlled by the Patriotic Front and the people of Bucharest, full of revolutionary enthusiasm, successfully occupied one government agency after another. They shouted slogans such as "Get out of office, the dictator" and "Long live the Socialist Republic of Romania", and completed the task excitedly. Something I felt I could tell future generations about.
Originally, if there were some Western spies and agents in the crowd, they would inevitably shout something like "Long live democracy and freedom", "CP step down", etc. However, the Patriotic Front immediately sent a large number of propaganda personnel and began to consciously The demonstrators were strictly guided to oppose only Ceausescu and his regime, not the Romanian republican socialist system.
¡°In fact, for ordinary demonstrators and citizens, they basically accept whatever the leader shouts, and they don¡¯t think about whether these things are what they want or whether they are beneficial to their future. One person can often achieve rationality, but a group of people can easily do stupid things when they are together. Just like the Chinese Empire in the 1960s and 1970s, people who are incited to form a settlement can do terrible things if they act inconceivably to all normal people.
The Patriotic Front, which successfully controlled the army and most important strongholds, basically controlled the situation. However, after Ceausescu discovered the changes within the party and the defection of the army, he immediately took a helicopter and prepared to flee. However, he was intercepted by the Patriotic Front on the way and was subsequently placed under house arrest in a villa.
¡°You have no right to do this to your leader,¡± Ceausescu shouted angrily to the soldiers who were guarding him. His original majestic image had become embarrassed, and his already old face looked even more haggard.
The guard didn't even look at him and said: "You have been dismissed. What awaits you will be the public trial of the people. If you have not made any mistakes, there is no need to be afraid, but if you are really a hateful executioner, then you will also will get the punishment they deserve.¡±
This speech also made Ceausescu slightly reassured. As long as those guys didn't plan to execute him without trial, then at least he still had a way to survive. After all, the people in power were still the Romanian Communist Party, even though they had been suppressed by him. There are always those who are frustrated, but intra-party struggles rarely lead to the death of the other party. He was also somewhat fortunate that it was people from the Luo Communist Party who succeeded in seizing power and not those so-called dissidents. If the opposition had taken power, there was absolutely no way he could have escaped.
Qi Yiming did not intend to kill Ceausescu just like this. Although this man made mistakes, his merits and crimes were about 50-50. It would be unfair to erase his contribution to Romania. Moreover, the so-called crime of massacre cannot be blamed on him at all. At best, he is just a political victim coupled with administrative mistakes.
Qi Yiming is not worried about what kind of trouble Ceausescu will cause. After the matter subsides, it would be a good idea to let this guy live somewhere for retirement.
On February 2, the Patriotic Front announced the reorganization of the Romanian CP and the reorganization of the government and parliament. In the end, Ion Iliescu was elected as the chairman of the new government, and Wildez was elected as the prime minister of the government. The basic tone of the Romanian Communist Party's power has not changed. After the new government was formed, it announced two major events. First, it informed the people that the former leader Ceausescu had been controlled. A special investigation team would go to Timisoara to investigate the massacre, and then Ceausescu would be tried in front of the people. Sescu and his wife; secondly, Romania will actively carry out economic and other institutional reforms, and is committed to developing a high-level socialism where people live happily, rights are protected and respected, and democracy and freedom are achieved.
No matter how you add the article adjective, Romania is still a socialist country governed by the CP, and its constitution still states that it adheres to Marxism-Leninism and CP leadership. The drastic changes that the West has pinned its hopes on have not been fully successful, which makes many people very unhappy. Some Romanian dissidents once again gathered a group of more extreme demonstrators, trying to storm the government building and refusing to recognize the continued rule of the Romanian Communist Party.
¡° Then there are the helpers of Nikolai and the Strategic Bureau, these people have no influence at all. The truly large number of demonstrators dispersed after successfully seizing power. The Patriotic Front also moved out materials urgently allocated from China to reward these "heroes". Everyone happily went to collect the "trophies" and truly participated in the second round. At most, the number of people demonstrating was just over a thousand.
Not only that, the Patriot Guards sent by the Strategic Bureau also put on complete riot control equipment. These soldiers have experience in dealing with such mass incidents. They not only guard all important entrances and roads tightly, but also have subwoofers. This professional dispersal weapon. When a large number of demonstrators gathered, the subwoofer mounted on the armored vehicle fired sound waves at the crowd, making it impossible for the demonstrators to approach the government building and making them very uncomfortable.
After several back-and-forth attempts, the dissidents finally had to accept this outcome. The Romanian Communist Party also sent negotiators to communicate with the opposition in a timely manner and reached some agreements, such as allowing the opposition to participate in political affairs to a limited extent and forming an opposition party. However, how to implement it and to what extent it is implemented still depends on the Romanian Communist Party itself. mean.
The revolution and coup d'etat are in full swing in Romania, and the country is celebrating again in China, because in accordance with the agreement between China and Portugal, Macau officially handed over sovereignty and returned to the motherland on February 2, 198. Compared with the return of Hong Kong, the influence and spectacle of Macau's return were not that great. However, Macau's return was officially agreed upon by China and Portugal, and the sovereignty handover ceremony was co-hosted by both countries. Compared with the return of Macau, it was actually conquered The situation is very different.
Macau¡¯s unified political system basically follows the model of Hong Kong, and Macau itself is also small, and the situation is much simpler than that of Hong Kong. There are not so many crooked ways to forget one¡¯s ancestors.
Qi Yiming did not participate in Macau¡¯s sovereignty handover ceremony. He still kept a low profile and tried not to appear in public. Regarding Hong Kong and Macao, he has some new ideas. At this time, Hong Kong and Macau are also considered cities with relatively high levels of development in the country, and Hong Kong also has multiple attributes such as a trading city, a consumer tourism city, and a financial city. However, Hong Kong's development has always been limited by its narrow land and dense population. Whether it is developing industry, commerce, or service industries, the land is narrow and the acquisition cost is relatively high. In later generations, Shenzhen gradually developed into a first-tier city, but due to administrative division issues, it failed to form effective complementarity and connection with Hong Kong.
There has always been a proposal similar to the merger of Hong Kong and Shenzhen in another dimension, but there were many obstacles before, making it more difficult to implement, and the problems caused are not so easy to solve. At this time, Hong Kong was basically completely in the hands of the state, and those miscellaneous people were suppressed to the point where they could not raise their heads. And for such a big thing, it is much less difficult to do it early than to do it late.
In Qi Yiming¡¯s vision, what he wants is not the merger of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, but the merger of the four cities of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Macao into a new special zone. It can give full play to its location advantages and create a new international super metropolis. Shenzhen has advantages in technological research and development, Hong Kong has advantages in trade and finance, and Macau is too small but its successful gaming industry is a model. If it is brought to Zhuhai, it will be able to develop better.
Hong Kong alone has obvious advantages but also obvious disadvantages. It lacks the potential to develop. Just like in another dimension, when the conditions for China¡¯s only window to the outside world were weakened with the reform and opening up, the brilliance of Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, It gradually dimmed, and the sinking Hong Kong Cans began to struggle and find trouble on other issues.
Connecting the four places to create a true super metropolis will undoubtedly better promote its development, and will also help expand the Pearl River Delta metropolitan area and boost its economic strength and influence.
However, Qi Yiming also knows very well that the merger of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Macao will inevitably face more troubles. The first is how to continue the "one country, two systems" thing. Even if the country is willing to make Shenzhen and Zhuhai special zones, Hong Kong and Macau people may not be happy to see it. Qi Yiming can confirm that many Hong Kong people have high aspirations and do not want the mainland's muddy legs to be identified as "Hong Kong people". Just say that the merger of Hong Kong and Shenzhen will definitely cause mainlanders to have an impact on Hong Kong itself. The issue of special zone boundaries is more difficult to resolve. Whether the Luohu Checkpoint will be canceled or not, do people from Shenzhen need a Hong Kong and Macau pass to enter Hong Kong? Many messy things need to be carefully clarified and determined, because it is very likely that one detail determines the success or failure of the matter.
Some more orthodox comrades will definitely believe that capitalizing ShenzhenØZhuhai is likely to erode the development of socialism. It will also make some people begin to question the intentions of the country and the party, and it will also easily cause those who are confused and alienated from the correct attitude. Route ideas.
Qi Yiming tentatively mentioned the merger of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Macao Special Administrative Regions, which aroused a relatively large reaction within the party, and the mainstream voice was still opposed.
"Since the four places now have relatively good development potential, why should we take such a big risk that may occur and seek a model that may not be better than the current one? This is an impulsive proposal with an emotional nature. It will not necessarily have a beneficial impact on the local economy and society, and there is no need to implement it.¡±
Another person said: "We have just launched our own new banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, but in the end we have to go backwards and let the already socialist areas retreat into capitalism. Isn't this a ridiculous thing in itself? It is true that Hong Kong and Shenzhen The merger of Zhuhai and Macao has a certain significance, but we must realize that my country's overall socialist cause is more important than the development of this place. Sooner or later, we must turn Hong Kong and Macao into socialists. How can it be the opposite? We ourselves have to go backwards to cater to their principles.¡±
"Indeed, the development of the four places has not yet faced bottlenecks, and there is a lot of room for improvement. Rushing such a policy will not have a particularly huge effect on local development, and the problems it will cause will make us more headaches. . Perhaps, after thirty or fifty years, when we have reached a certain point and there is a more obvious need, we will be more successful in promoting such things. "
Qi Yiming was not too upset after hearing the various voices, because everyone's considerations were very realistic. It was really unclear whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to be so anxious to connect the four places, so Qi Yiming temporarily put down this idea. Go take care of other things.
