Chapter 857: Fuming ……
Chapter 840 Fuming ……
As a series of problems came to light, the colonial bureaucrats panicked. Even though the Emperor did not have a fit on the spot, everyone was good at reading people, and they knew from their facial expressions that Napoleon IV was angry.
Inside the Governor’s residence in Algiers, a group of colonial bureaucrats were having their daily meeting. From the demeanor of the crowd, one could tell that this meeting was not that ordinary.
A plump middle-aged man said anxiously, ”His Excellency the Governor, the Emperor has already refused us to accompany him, what should we do now?
You know, whether it’s the current big farm plan or the previous African development plan, we have left too many hidden dangers.
These problems are now exposed to the Emperor. If we are to be held accountable, none of us sitting here can escape.”
Governor Ablimiti did not answer immediately, instead, he picked up a cup of thick, smoky coffee and took a small sip before slowly saying, “What’s the point of panicking, the sky hasn’t collapsed yet!
Since His Majesty, the Emperor, didn’t dispose of us on the spot, that means there is still room for things to maneuver.
By the way, Buy Buy Ming, what did you just say? The African Development Program has been over for so many years, could it be that you still haven’t done a good job on the aftermath?”
The law is not responsible for the people, this special French national condition decided, has been passed down for many years.
If the law is completely in accordance with the law, the Parisian public is estimated to have gone in seven or eight out of ten, after all, the parade participated in a lot of activities, it is inevitable to do something out of the ordinary.
Can’t punish people, then we can only change the law. Even if the text of the law has not been changed, the law enforcement process has been artificially altered.
Money is not swallowed by one or two people, the people involved this time, not only the colonial officials are trapped in a lot, the local people involved in the same also have a lot.
If we really dig all the way down, not only the presence of all in, but the colony but any official, will be implicated, even the local bureaucrats will be implicated in a large number.
If really disposed of down, the rule of law can be changed is not yet known, France’s colonial system first to collapse.
Buy Buytiming replied awkwardly, “Governor Sir, you know the situation over here is special, and the funds allocated by the government are insufficient, so we took the liberty of cutting some unimportant projects and focusing the funds on the important ones.”
Insufficient funding is inevitable, all the way down the layers of deductions, to the hands of the project leader can get half, are handled by the bureaucrats have integrity.
The following people also have to eat, and then drift part of the foam, to the higher officials to give away part of the money that can be used to do things is even less.
Self-initiated cut a part of the project, it seems to be a great sin, in fact, there is also its inevitability.
If you don’t do this, you can’t even get a face-saving project to support the scene. Of course, it would be more convincing if these guys weren’t raking in money into their own pockets.
Abulimiti pointed to buy buy buy Ming hate iron said: “You guys la! Algeria’s conditions are difficult, the domestic consideration is not sufficient, this is also excusable, we should sympathize.
Insufficient funds, can not think of another way? To give full play to their own initiative, even if the money is not enough to cancel the project.
What happened this time is a lesson. If everyone had been prepared, even if the tasks set out from above had not been completed and a discount had been given, even if only four or five points had been achieved, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor would have sympathized with our painstaking efforts.”
This was from the bottom of his heart, doing and not doing were two completely different concepts.
Even if only a scaled down version of the project was completed, then there were physical objects placed there to prove that money was being spent.
If nothing has been done and the project is directly axed, and the funds are still spent, that would be an insult to the intelligence of the top echelon of the Government.
Buy Buyimin nodded awkwardly, ”Yes Your Excellency the Governor, we will pay attention later. But it’s imperative that we get through this immediate hurdle, or there will be no future.”
Losing one’s head was not so bad, Napoleon IV was not a master of killing, the guys who revolted were able to be forgiven, these embezzlers of theirs were even less of a big deal.
Abulimiti asked rhetorically, “How do you want to dare? The initiative now, is no longer on us, the one who can make the decision is His Majesty the Emperor.”
At this point, the topic was singled out, Buimin said slowly, “The Emperor has delayed a clear attitude, and everyone is very worried.
It is best to find a way to figure out what His Majesty the Emperor has in mind. If it can be uncovered, of course it would be the best.
If it’s really not possible, then we can only take the risk of robbing the king ……”
……
A dozen or so projects were sampled in a row, all of which had serious problems, Napoleon IV directly despaired, and even the heart of accountability faded.
There is no way, there are too many people involved, but instead, they can’t act rashly.
You have to know that this is a colony, and if you really turn the other cheek, who knows if these bold guys will stage a coup to detain the emperor?
Perhaps because of the talent, after sensing that the atmosphere is not right, Napoleon IV does not know how to change the inspection route, to Wahlan directly take a boat to leave, completely do not give these people to leave the opportunity.
In his own colony, the emperor ran away because of the fear of interest groups turn over, have to say this is an irony.
……
In the temporary palace in Paris, hastily ended the trip to Algeria, Napoleon IV’s whole person is quite depressed.
At this moment he suddenly understood why Austria had to execute tens of thousands of people at once.
That was entirely because the bureaucrats below were too capable of making a demon, not killing is not enough to shock the people, not killing is not a good idea.
Knowing that, Napoleon IV still only envy the part, really if he let him order a one-time execution of tens of thousands of people, he still want to goat.
In this regard, France and Austria are very different, Austria dares to follow the law of public affairs, that is the Vienna government for many years to fight corruption, the people and bureaucrats are adapted.
France will not be able to, not to mention the impact of civil society, the light of this extensive involvement, so that Napoleon IV to shy away.
“I’ve just been out, and what I’ve seen is unbelievable, as I’m sure you more or less know.
The problem is right in front of everyone’s eyes, so let’s discuss what the government should do next!”
Unsure of how to end the situation, Napoleon IV did not hesitate to kick the ball to the cabinet.
Under the mutual humility of his colleagues, the highly respected Prime Minister Terence Burgin was forced to step forward.
“Your Majesty, the corruption in the colonies is beyond imagination. The situation we are facing now is just like a patient with a weak body, once the medicine is used aggressively, it is likely that he or she will die, and can only be tempered slowly.
For the corruption problems exposed now, it is best for us to pick a few typical ones to make an example of, and keep the rest for now to see their subsequent performance.”
Hearing this disposition, Napoleon IV’s mind directly collapsed.
“Killing chickens to warn monkeys” seems to be good, in fact, it is to catch a few scapegoats that are pushed to the surface to open the knife, and the deeper problems are directly uncovered.
Knowing that there are problems with the officials, but also must remain in office, accountability is a joke.
It can be imagined that after this battle, the central government’s deterrent effect on the colonies will drop to an all-time low.
Especially the royal power will also be impacted, residual in the hearts of many of the last reverence, will also be buried with it.
But for the sake of domestic stability, this is the price that must be paid.
If the investigation to the end, not to mention whether it can be investigated. Even if it is really found out, the Paris government has lifted the table of the bottom of the gas?
Napoleon IV had already felt that the government’s control over the colonies was not as tight as he had imagined.
The officials of the colony are starting to move towards the direction of sitting on the ground, forming a big net in the area.
After hesitating for a few moments, Napoleon IV shook his head: ”No way! If we let it go on like this and let them see the weakness of the central government, I’m afraid that it won’t be long before those guys are going to become independent.
Even if we can’t dispose of all of them, we must take out a few of the main officials and slowly settle the scores with the rest.”
