Berkeley is thirty-nine years old this year. He is of the same age as Wallis. He was born in Diga City in the Kingdom of Kilili. He came to the Kingdom of Yin at the age of three. He received an aristocratic education since he was a child. He studied at the famous Beef Tendon University in the Kingdom of Yin.
He has degrees in law, economics and sociology. Judging from this resume alone, he is shining. He is also very diligent and studious.
He has dual nationality of Yin Kingdom and Kilili Kingdom. He could have stayed in Luoba Continent and lived a comfortable and prosperous life. However, after seeing the advanced development and prosperity of the Western Luo Kingdoms, he remembered how poor and backward his hometown was.
He has great ambitions and is determined to use what he has learned in his life to change the current situation of the country.
These ideals and aspirations of his have been written down in an autobiography published three years ago. Four years ago, Berkeley returned to Kilili Country. Half a year later, he became the twenty-fifth president of Kilili Country. Now he has
Stayed in this position for three and a half years.
How did he become the president of the Kingdom of Miles? This starts with his father, Old Berkeley.
Lao Bei is the largest manor owner in Tiga City. He almost monopolizes local agricultural and animal husbandry resources. He has also accepted many industries left over from the colonial era and set up a number of primary processing plants. He is also the leader of the Hope Front.
The armed force of the Hope Front originally developed from the security teams of the plantations. Lao Bei has money and connections, and can equip the plantation security teams with better weapons and allow them to receive better training...
Over time, this developed into an armed force, whose function was not only to protect the plantation, but also to obtain greater benefits for Lao Bei, and then controlled the entire Tiga City, just like the Lions organization once controlled
Wage City.
After Xiaobei returned to China, he reorganized the army of the Hope Front and hired military consultants from Yinguo. The Hope Front invaded Mowang City from Tiga City and launched a quick and successful military coup. The previous president of Kiriguo
The president ran away, and Berkeley became interim president, held new elections, and became official president a few months later.
Why wasn't Robert Bei the president? Beckham returned to China because Bei was seriously ill, and he had to come back to inherit the family business and take charge of the overall situation. Shortly after he officially became president, Bei died of illness in England.
Lao Bei also had other children, but those people stayed in developed Western countries and were unwilling to come back. They did not expect that Xiao Bei would make such a big fuss after returning to Jili Country, and later they also got a lot of money from Xiao Bei.
With less foreign trade, life will be more prosperous, and it will also promote the prosperity of business and trade in the country.
No president wants to be mediocre, and no president doesn't want the country he leads to be strong, and the same is certainly true for Berkeley.
It is not that the Kingdom of Kilili does not have a perfect system. It has borrowed from the systems of several previous suzerain countries since its emergence. However, the country's executive agencies are almost completely out of control, and Berkeley can only start working hard to restore the governance order.
The reason why he became the leader of the Hope Front was not only because he was Lao Bei's son, but also because he represented the interests of all aspects of the armed force. Therefore, while appeasing the leaders of the armed forces at all levels, he also tried his best to reorganize
The armed forces were strengthened and a military and police force of more than 10,000 people was expanded on the original basis.
It is called a military and police force because it is difficult to define whether it is an army or a police force. Its main task is not national defense, but the maintenance of order internally.
His governance is still very effective. At least in the main urban area of Mowang City, order has basically returned to normal, and management can be realistic and effective. Various security cases still occur frequently, but they are only security cases, not all kinds of one after another.
riots, this is already very good, where in the world is not like this?
Economically, Berkeley also has great ideas, but the results are not great, mainly because the place is too backward. Berkeley encourages the development of commerce and does everything possible to open the market, hoping to stimulate the development of local specialty industries through market prosperity.
The demand here is always strong, but the output is really limited. He also hopes to stimulate domestic production units to increase investment, but the main difficulty is the lack of funds.
In fact, he himself is the largest manor owner in Tiga and Mowang. Agriculture and animal husbandry have always been the pillar industry of Kilili Country, and it is also an important means of obtaining foreign exchange.
Berkeley has an open mind. He has tried every means to introduce foreign investment and assistance and provided various preferential conditions, but the gains have not been great.
Because there is really not much oil and water to squeeze out of this country, and the frequent turmoil in the past has also left people with lingering fears. The country's most important mineral resources and tourism resources are not in the hands of the central government.
But Berkeley's efforts are not without progress. At least he has integrated the country's financial system. Although other states are actually in a semi-independent state, whether it is domestic banks or foreign banks, their business within the country
To expand, it must also go through financial institutions with the central government.
For example, in the original Fiso Port, both the Huifeng Bank of Yinguo and the Dongguo Bank of Dongguo had business outlets. However, their branch headquarters in Kililiguo were all located in Mowang City, and their cross-border business was limited.
Under the supervision of the central government of the Kingdom of Kilin, including obtaining various legal business authorizations and official document approvals.
This is the benefit of controlling the nominal central government. The Berkeley government also controls the tax revenue of the two states of Mowang City and Tiga City, as well as the customs revenue of the Kingdom of Kilili.
Although various smuggling activities are still very serious, nominally formal import and export still require customs declaration procedures. Controlling the financial system is equivalent to controlling customs revenue.
The creditworthiness of the local currency of Kilili Country is very low. Many private transactions between big figures use foreign currencies or gold. It is also difficult to issue government bonds or obtain financing from overseas financial institutions. However, it at least ensures that ordinary people in the seven states across the country can
The currency used by people is still several kilograms generated by the central bank of the country.
This is a very remarkable achievement. At least in terms of grasping the central finance, Berkeley has done a good job, otherwise he would not be able to appease his father's old subordinates, stabilize the various military leaders in the Hope Front, and at the same time form a new
Military and police forces.
Under Berkeley's rule, the order in the main urban area of the capital city of Mowan was restored best. At least many important blocks are lively during the day, and in several key blocks it is even lively at night.
In Berkeley's long-term plan, Mowang City is to be built into a star city, a business center and even an economic center on the east coast of the Black Continent. No matter how skinny the reality is, people still have to have ideals!
He placed the focus of governance on Mowang City, which also aroused dissatisfaction among a group of old subordinates who had followed from Diga City. However, on the one hand, Berkeley gave them good treatment, and on the other hand, Berkeley established a new military police force.
The army promoted a group of new leaders, who were able to control the situation under mutual checks and balances.
Berkeley often lamented that he felt lonely and lonely, and that too many people around him could not understand his grand plan. He hoped to build a good Mowang City and attract more talents and funds, so that he could have more resources.
Use it to bring this country out of its predicament.
After taking control of the central government, Bekele did not have large-scale conflicts with the armed forces that controlled other states. They were basically in a state of peace and harmony. They could even negotiate and cooperate on many things, as long as they nominally accepted the jurisdiction of the central government.
Just fine.
The Hope Front has controlled more than half of the population, resources and economic output of the country, and can gradually reintegrate the country through development penetration, especially economic and industrial radiation.
From Berkeley's own perspective, he believes that his work in this area is quite good. The once fragmented Kingdom has gradually consolidated in his hands. Each state and region has formed a relatively stable sphere of influence and
The governance system, at least during his tenure, did not experience any more large-scale armed conflicts.
His eyes are not blindly focused on the main urban area of the capital, or the two state districts of Tiga and Mowang controlled by the Hope Front. Instead, he looks at the whole country and is also concerned about the construction and development of other states and districts.
For example, the Port of Fiso has an aid project from Donggang. Although it is a demand of the state and district local governments, the relevant official diplomatic procedures are still handled through the central government, and the Bekele government has not created any obstacles to this.
From a personal point of view, Berkeley actually did not welcome Dongguo's aid project. However, he was able to overcome his personal likes and dislikes, and based on the overall development of Kilili Country, he did not prevent such a project from being implemented, and he also accepted Dongguo's proposal.
of olive branches.
This is because the country is so short of capital, technology, and talent, and its infrastructure construction is so backward. Most of the current infrastructure is left over from the 1970s and 1980s.
On the other hand, Berkeley is also afraid that vetoing these projects will trigger conflicts between local states and the central government. More importantly, Berkeley also has his own ideas. The introduction of Dongguo-aided construction projects is also diplomatic.
Negotiation chips.
In the impoverished country of Kilili, the introduction of aid construction projects is not just as simple as a road or a power station. It also represents what kind of production system, what kind of industrial standards and technical specifications are introduced, and even what kind of cultural influence is actively accepted.
For example, in telecommunications projects, as long as there are aid projects, he can use these projects to talk about it and go to Western Roman countries such as England or even the United States to request assistance. There is such a standard rhetoric: "Now the East has said
You can assist in the construction of telecommunications projects. If you don’t provide assistance, the telecommunications system of Guiliguo will adopt Dongguo’s 5G standard in the future.”
This is a common trick in diplomacy. Berkeley learned it when he was in England. Deep down in his heart, he still recognized the Western production system and various technical standards, and hoped to introduce investment and technology from England, America and other countries for construction.
this country.
Unfortunately, such rhetoric is not always successful, but it cannot be said that it is completely unsuccessful. The answer he gets is often divided into two parts. One part is an official reply, telling him that these projects are full of hazards and unexpected risks, and he should decisively reject or break the contract.
The other part comes from various non-governmental organizations. There are always people coming to him and telling him that if these projects are rejected, he will get some benefits, such as receiving some international recognition, receiving charity or environmental assistance, and his family business will benefit.
Some aspects of care, etc. As for the construction gap left by the rejection of the project... let's talk about it later.
These promises are small profits, but they are very effective. For example, to build a power station, the total investment scale is hundreds of millions of dollars, and a lot of the funds are directly transferred in the form of export credits. It is difficult for the relevant managers to get too much
benefit.
But if you privately give someone tens of thousands of dollars in benefits and ask him to try his best to veto the project, in this country, that is a huge amount of wealth! This is a typical example of spending small money to do big things.
The price of doing big things is high, but spending a small amount of money can mess up big things.
Berkeley himself may not care about these small profits, and tens of thousands of dollars cannot buy him off. Even if the other party offers him a higher amount due to his status, or even adds one or two zeros, he may be able to endure it.
However, when doing anything, there are specific competent departments and handling officials. They form a management and decision-making group, and many of them are willing to charge tens of thousands of dollars.
In addition to giving money directly, "dissuaders" have more reasonable ways, such as inviting relevant officials to go abroad for inspections and participate in various academic seminars, which is equivalent to going overseas for vacation and consumption, and can also receive various
Subsidies such as travel expenses, lecture fees, consulting fees, etc.
The Guili Kingdom introduced a certain aspect of Dongguan's aid projects in the hope of receiving assistance from Western countries, but instead it became an opportunity to create benefits for the officials in charge of the relevant departments under its rule.
Fortunately, in places like Aiso Port, the central government cannot interfere in many matters at all. Otherwise, it is unknown whether the original aid construction projects in Aiso Port can be successfully completed.
Berkeley himself also has a strong sense of contract. He will not easily break the contract for the aid projects that have been signed and implemented. More importantly, without those East China aid projects, he would not even have a chance to attract the attention of Western developed countries.
He knows this very well, and this is also the foresight of a politician.
Therefore, there are some strange phenomena. There are Dongguan-aided construction projects in remote areas like Fiso Port, but there are no Dongguk-aided construction projects in the cities of Mowang and Tiga controlled by the central government. Even if there was an intention, later due to
Various factors were mixed up.
The most outrageous "aid alternative plan" that Berkeley has come into contact with is that a non-governmental organization expressed its willingness to provide seeds and refining technology of product D, and to be responsible for the sales in the northern Middle East region, so that the Front of Hope controlled by the Guilin government could organize production.
, in exchange for funds, weapons and various supplies.
Of course Berkeley would not agree to such a thing. Although the proposal was a non-governmental organization, he also vaguely knew that the organization was behind an intelligence agency of a major Western country.
Although Berkeley did not agree and would not admit that he had stopped this proposal, he also knew that many of his father's old subordinates also secretly did this in the Tiga City area. However, at the central government level, this kind of behavior is strictly prohibited.
Yes, you will be severely punished if discovered.
If the leader of a certain force in the Hope Front becomes ambitious and shows signs of losing control, investigation of such matters and severe punishment will also become a means to eliminate them. Berkeley masters this balancing method very well.
Berkeley officially became president at the end of 2018. By the beginning of 2020, an epidemic swept the world, and the economies and foreign exchanges of various countries were severely affected. Berkeley also often lamented that he had not encountered good times, otherwise his national plan could not be implemented
Implement more smoothly.
Even under such difficult circumstances, Berkeley still increased the revenue from the central government and continued to support and build the best university in Mowang City-Kiliguo Public University.
Not only is this university free of charge for tuition and accommodation, but students with excellent grades can also receive incentives and subsidies. Its conditions in all aspects have indeed been greatly improved during Berkeley's tenure. Even the majors and courses are set up as closely as possible.
The National Beef Tendon University model recruits students from all over the country and neighboring countries. There are currently 6,000 students enrolled.
It is a piece of pure land in this chaotic country, known as calf tendon.
This title of calf tendon was shouted out by reporters at the instruction of Berkeley himself. In his eyes, the National University of Kyri is the best university on the east coast of the Black Continent. This can be seen from the fact that its graduates have a very high reputation for studying abroad.
This can be seen from the rate and immigration rate.
Berkeley is well aware of the importance of talents. If you want to carry out construction, you must have talents. He himself is an example. However, the education system of the country is full of holes and there are too many deficiencies. Berkeley can only start with key projects.
, we must first cultivate enough high-end elite talents to lead the people forward, and then use talents to cultivate talents.
As for the high rate of studying abroad and immigration, many outstanding graduates have gone overseas and never come back. This is something that can’t be helped. Everyone knows the current situation of the country. Berkeley only hopes that the country will develop well in the future.
The talents of many people will be put to use, which can attract them to come back. And not all the elite talents are gone, after all, there are still many left.
Berkeley increased the central government's financial investment to build a public university in Kyri. In fact, the financial investment did not increase much. In the later period, it actually reduced the funding pressure. Because this university is the project for which Berkeley has obtained the most overseas donations, and even
It can be said to be the only major project, and many organizations are willing to donate to it.
During his term of office, he also planned to establish the Kyili Public University Alumni Association, and contacted many overseas alumni who graduated over the years. Many of them are already elites in various walks of life, and then established several overseas branches.
Through the alumni association, not only can they better help each other and introduce various opportunities for studying abroad, working, and business cooperation, but they can also be called upon to contribute more to the construction of their hometown. Many aids to public universities in Kiriland are
These alumni are in contact with each other.
Although Berkeley himself did not graduate from the public university of Kyri, this university is the pride of the president.
If he were asked to make a comprehensive self-evaluation, Berkeley believed that he was the best president in the history of the country.
Under his rule, although due to special historical reasons, the improvement of people's livelihood was not the fastest progress, great achievements were made. The national power was the most consolidated and the entire social order was the most stable. The government's economic, military and
Local forces also have the strongest control.
It is said that Berkeley has many fans at home and even overseas, and many people who admire him are also called "Beike fans", which makes him both gratified and proud.
But President Berkeley's confidence was shattered in just a few months.
