Chapter 840 The Madness...

Colonial bureaucrats panicked as a series of problems came to light. Although the emperor did not attack on the spot, everyone was good at observing words and expressions, and we knew from the facial expressions that Napoleon IV was angry.

Inside the Governor's Palace in Algiers, a gang of colonial bureaucrats are having daily meetings. It can be seen from the expressions of everyone that this meeting is not so ordinary.

A plump middle-aged man said anxiously: "Your Excellency Governor, the emperor has refused us to accompany us, what should we do now?

You know, whether it is 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 want to be held accountable, none of us sitting here can run away. "

Governor Ablimiti didn't answer immediately, instead he picked up a cup of smoky coffee, took a small sip, and said slowly, "What are you panicking, the sky hasn't fallen yet!

Since His Majesty the Emperor did not deal with us on the spot, it means that there is still room for manoeuvre.

By the way, Maimai Timing, what did you just say? The African development plan has passed for so many years, haven't you done a good job in the aftermath? "

The law does not blame the public. This is determined by the special national conditions of France, which has been passed down for many years.

If it was done in accordance with the law, Parisians would probably go in seven or eight out of ten. After all, there were so many parades that they had to do something out of the ordinary.

If you can't punish people, you can only change the law. Even if the legal provisions have not been revised, they have also been artificially changed in the process of law enforcement.

The money was not swallowed by one or two people. The people involved this time were not only colonial officials, but also many local people involved.

If you really dig all the way down, not only will everyone present go in, but any official in the colony will be involved, and even the local bureaucrats will be involved in a large area.

If it is really dealt with, it is not known whether the official governance can be changed, and the French colonial system will collapse first.

Maima Timing replied embarrassedly: "Your Excellency Governor, you know that the situation here is special, and the funds allocated by the government are insufficient, so we decided to cut off some unimportant projects without permission, and concentrated the funds on important projects."

Insufficient funding is inevitable. It is deducted layer by layer all the way, and the project leader can get half of it. It is all the bureaucrats who handle it.

The people below also have to eat, and then float a part, and give a part to the higher-level officials, and the money that can be used for work is even less.

It may seem like a heinous crime to cut off some projects on your own accord, but it is actually inevitable.

If you don't do this, you won't even be able to come up with a face-saving project to support the scene. Of course, it would be more convincing if these guys didn't put money in their pockets.

Abu Limiti pointed to Maimaiti, who clearly hated iron and steel, and said, "You guys! Algeria's conditions are difficult, and domestic consideration is not sufficient. This is also excusable, and everyone should be considerate.

If the funds are insufficient, can't we think of a solution? To give full play to their own initiative, even if the money is not enough, you can't cancel the project directly.

This time is a lesson. If everyone has prepared well, even if the tasks set out above are not completed, and a discount is given, even if only four or five points are achieved, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will understand our painstaking efforts. "

This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. Doing and not doing are two completely different concepts.

Even if only the scaled-down version of the project is completed, there are physical objects there to prove that the money was spent.

Nothing is done, the project is directly cut off, and the funds are still spent. That is to insult the intelligence quotient of the top government officials.

Maima Timing nodded embarrassedly: "Okay, Your Excellency Governor, we will pay attention to it later. But the most urgent task is to pass the current hurdle, otherwise there will be no future."

To the extent that Napoleon IV is not the master of decisive killings, the rebels can be forgiven, and they are nothing more than corrupt criminals.

Abu Limiti asked back: "How dare you? The initiative is no longer on us. The one who can make the decision is His Majesty the Emperor."

At this point, the topic was clarified, and Maimai Timing said slowly: "The emperor has not had a clear attitude for a long time, and everyone is very worried.

It is best to find a way to find out the intention of His Majesty the Emperor. It would be best if it could be uncovered.

If it really doesn't work, then we can only take the risk, the king of robbery..."

...

In a series of random checks on more than a dozen projects, serious problems occurred. Napoleon IV was directly desperate, and even the heart of accountability was weakened.

There is no way, there are too many people involved, but it is impossible to act rashly.

You must know that this is a colony. If you really turn your face, who knows if these daring guys will stage a coup to detain the emperor?

Perhaps because of his talent, after realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Napoleon IV changed the inspection route indifferently, and left directly by boat when he arrived at Wachland, leaving no chance for these people at all.

In his own colony, the emperor ran away because he was worried that interest groups would turn his face. It has to be said that this is an irony.

...

In the temporary palace in Paris, the trip to Algeria ended in a hurry, and Napoleon IV was depressed a lot.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Austria had to execute tens of thousands of people at one time.

That's completely because the bureaucrats below are too capable of being demons. If you don't kill them, it's not enough to shock people's hearts.

up.

Knowing that, Napoleon IV is still only envious. If he were to order the execution of tens of thousands of people at one time, he would still be cowardly.

In this respect, Fao is completely different. Austria dares to act in accordance with the law. It is the Vienna government that has been fighting corruption for many years, and the people and bureaucrats have adapted.

France will not be able to do it, not to mention the influence of the people, this alone is very involved, which makes Napoleon IV timid.

"I just went out the door, and what I saw is unbelievable, you must know more or less.

The problem is in front of everyone. How should the government respond next? Let's discuss it together! "

Not knowing how to end it, Napoleon IV kicked the ball to the cabinet without hesitation.

Under the mutual humility of his colleagues, the respected Prime Minister Terence Bulkin was forced to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the corruption in the colony is beyond imagination. The situation we are facing now is like a weak patient. Once the medicine is used violently, it is very likely that he will die, and he can only take care of it slowly.

Regarding the corruption issues that are exposed now, we'd better pick a few typical examples and keep the rest for the time being to see their follow-up performance. "

Hearing this disposition method, Napoleon IV's mentality collapsed directly.

"Killing chickens to warn monkeys" seems good, but in fact it is to catch a few scapegoats that are pushed to the bright side, and the deeper problems are directly exposed.

Officials who know there are problems must also stay in office, and it is a joke to hold them accountable.

It is conceivable that after this battle, the deterrent power of the central government to the colonies will drop to the lowest point in history.

In particular, the imperial power will be impacted, and the last reverence that remains in many hearts will also be buried.

But for domestic stability, this is a price that must be paid.

If it is checked to the end, let alone whether it can be checked. Even if it is really found out, does the Paris government have the confidence to open the table?

Napoleon IV had already felt that the government's control over the colonies was not as tight as imagined.

Officials in the colony are beginning to move in the direction of the tigers, forming a large local network.

After hesitating for a while, Napoleon IV shook his head: "No! If we let them go like this, they will see the weakness of the central government. I'm afraid it won't be long before those guys become independent.

Even if it can't be disposed of completely, a few chief officials must be removed, and the rest will be settled slowly in the autumn. "
