After every general election in the Lion City, the leader who takes office will give a speech.
Although there have been three different leaders in total, the speeches given by the leaders after each election are a routine part.
Lee Hsien Loong especially likes to give speeches. Not only after elections, he will give nationwide speeches during National Day, Spring Festival and other important occasions.
For example, during the National Day celebrations in the Lion City, Lee Hsien Loong gave speeches in three different languages to express his concerns about war.
Although Merlin is a mage, from serving as the leader of the People's Action Party to taking over the position of leader of the Lion City, everything is step by step according to the procedures of the Lion City.
This means that Merlin's subsequent procedures will still follow the traditions of the Lion City.
And before today, there was a rumor from the Lion City Congress that Merlin's speech would be held in front of the Parliament Building after the issue review.
That's why so many international media are here.
Just ten minutes, when you are looking forward to something so much, these ten minutes seem extremely long.
When Zheng Li and the congressmen filed out of the Capitol, all the photography equipment present were aimed at Zheng Li and the congressmen behind him.
The scene of Zheng Li walking at the front and Lee Hsien Loong following behind him was recorded by reporters from various angles.
The next day's Sin Chew Daily directly titled the end of an era and put this scene on the front page.
The general meaning is that the era when the Li family ruled the Lion City has passed, and the Lion City will usher in a new ruler in the future.
The scene was very noisy and almost everyone was talking.
"Mr. Merlin, why are you willing to serve as the leader of Lion City? What are your plans for the future development of Lion City?"
"Mr. Merlin, what kind of deal did you reach in private with Mr. Lee Hsien Loong? Please answer this question head-on."
Changxiang Chinese website
"Mr. Merlin, have you controlled the ruling class of Lion City through magic? And used this to achieve your goal of colonizing Blue Star?"
The reporters used loudspeaker equipment to make the empty grassland feel like it was not outdoors at all. The noise level was comparable to that of a vegetable market.
As America's strategic fulcrum in Asia, the Lion City is also a member of the Commonwealth. The Lion City has been greatly influenced by Western culture.
All members of Congress were wearing suits and ties, except Zheng Li who was wearing the mage robe unique to the Mage Alliance.
And the difference from others is that it uses light and shadow effects.
Although the light and shadow effects achieved by Zheng Li through magic are very realistic, they are still fundamentally different from real people.
This made Zheng Li feel like he stood out among the members of Congress.
But even his appearance was different from that of humans. The all-round difference allowed everyone present to recognize who Merlin was at a glance.
"Is this the real image of Merlin? It's a light and shadow effect, but his real body and this virtual image are consistent in appearance?"
The big shots in Amerikan were also watching the live broadcast, and they were also paying close attention to Merlin.
After all, Merlin holds the secret to eternal life, at least part of it.
"Mr. Morgan, we have just mobilized tens of billions of face data in the database, and we have not found any face that is more than 50% similar to the three-dimensional image of Merlin's face."
Amerikan suspected that Merlin's avatar was magically modified based on the image of a certain Homo sapiens from Blue Star.
"Okay, let's go ahead and see what he has to say."
Originally, I had no hope of finding the connection between Merlin and the Blue Star people through this method.
"How do you think he transmits his voice?
According to the memoirs of people who were present at the Stockholm Concert Hall, everyone's unanimous memory is that Merlin's voice seemed to ring in their ears. "
“This should be a unique vibration method, and the vibration points should also be arranged in a certain way to give people the feeling of sound ringing in their ears.
Didn’t the reporters we sent there this time specially bring relevant testing equipment?
We'll be able to find out once they send the data back. "
Just the arrangement of this sound source can take Blue Star's audio industry a big step forward.
The moment Zheng Li walked out of the Capitol, he took a step forward and appeared in front of the podium specially prepared for him.
The feeling of walking out of nowhere.
This scene was so magical that the reporters present asked less questions.
After all, it has been many years since magic came to Blue Star, and only a few of the reporters present have seen magic in real life.
Except for journalists in England.
Journalists in England are accustomed to reporting on magical events.
The English reporters present were also the ones shouting the loudest. They were eager to know whether Merlin had anything to do with the magic incident in London.
Instead of solving magical events in London.
London has become accustomed to coexisting with magic. If Merlin solves the magic anomaly in London, London will become an ordinary city again. Ordinaryness here is the phenomenon of losing super powers.
Then England will lose even its last point of economic growth.
In recent years, London has created a large number of related industries around magic and magic ecology.
London's tourism revenue has increased more than ten times compared to before the magical event.
Moreover, more than half of London's financial industry has gone away. Even if London becomes normal again, finance will not come back.
Due to the existence of magic, Londoners have an inexplicable sense of superiority when they quarrel with Berliners and Parisians on social media.
One sentence: Can you do magic? You can easily win this keyboard warrior war.
After Zheng Li waited for the congressmen to sit on the lawn chairs in front of him, he pressed down with both hands, and the entire space instantly became silent.
"WoW"
"Silent Jutsu?"
"As expected of Merlin!"
“I wonder if the attendees will get the same treatment as in Stockholm and be healed by the Voice Guard.”
The God-calling Guard that Zheng Li performed at the Stockholm Concert Hall is still the coolest scene of magic in the real world for many people to this day.
So much so that Rowling later changed the setting of Harry Potter and proposed that the Calling Guards can not only fight against Dementors, but also some wizards who have mastered the Calling Guards to a high level can use the Calling Guards to treat some special injuries. .
This setting was applied in "The Archmage Merlin", and Merlin is regarded as the discoverer of the function of the God-calling Guard.
“Good afternoon everyone from Blue Star.
In the past ten years since I came to Blue Star, many changes have taken place in Blue Star. Life is not easy for everyone. Some of these changes were caused by me, some were brought about by Blue Star itself, and some were caused by my relationship with Blue Star after I came to Blue Star. generated after interaction.
I hope that in the coming days, I can use the Lion City as a pilot to explore a different path for Blue Star, which will continue to affect the economic and social development of the Lion City and bring great benefits to the surrounding countries and people of Blue Star. Some inspiration.
This time I successfully took over the authority handed over to me by Mr. Lee Hsien Loong. This authority was also handed over to me by all the people of the Lion City.
We will go all out to exercise our entrusted power responsibly, help all people in Lion City solve their life difficulties, create new opportunities, and make Lion City the most influential city in the entire Blue Star.
The most important thing is to improve social welfare benefits so that all people in Lion City can not worry about daily survival.
Everyone can meet basic survival needs without having to work, while at the same time enhancing the international competitiveness of the Lion City through cutting-edge technology.
Employment has never been in my consideration range. Employment is a benefit rather than a burden. Only by realizing this can intelligent life burst out with unimaginable creativity and vitality.
In the past, the lack of productivity in the Lion City, including the entire Blue Star, made it impossible for everyone to obtain basic security without having to work.
I will work hard in this direction in the future.
Starting with the Lion City, everyone will gradually realize this in the future - employment is a benefit rather than a burden.
Therefore, we must be prepared that some industries will never be the same as before, and it is even less likely that this government will support them.
However, the improvement of welfare benefits can provide survival guarantee for everyone. Even if your industry disappears without a trace overnight, you don't have to worry about your livelihood.
For the long-term development of the Lion City, I think a better strategy is to put resources into establishing truly valuable areas and directions, while appropriately exploring new areas and creating new competitive opportunities to help even under such social conditions. Individuals who are still willing to work and want to work move to new fields.
They will also be assisted in training for these new jobs.
Social prosperity and progress depend on the development of productive forces, and human survival cannot be separated from energy and food.
Regarding energy, I will launch biophotovoltaic technology. In the future, the energy in the entire Lion City will be truly 100% clean energy. "
When Zheng Li said this, Li Xianlong was already a little stupid.
What he wants is the Lion City's water and electricity company, which relies on biophotovoltaic power. Zheng Li also said that it would provide basic living security for the people of the entire Lion City.
Then giving his electric power company is no different from bankruptcy.
Even worse than bankruptcy, it instantly turns into pure negative equity.
Li Xianlong felt a little uneasy.
When Zheng Li talked about biophotovoltaics, a 3D image of cells appeared out of thin air in front of him. There was also a penetration effect, and the structure of the cells could be clearly seen.
"This is one of the cellular structures we will use in biophotovoltaics."
Journalists frantically took photos, trying to bring some help to the country behind them.
You must know that the European Union is most eager for clean energy, and Russia has been stuck in energy for many years.
Even OPEC can threaten the Europa Union with energy.
The largest buyer of clean energy is the Europa Union.
Zheng Li continued: "As for food, we adopt a strategy of importing large quantities of food. After all, in this era, food is more than enough to supply the world's seven billion people.
Our goal is not only to achieve the most basic survival guarantee, but also to plan for the long term.
In my future plan, the Lion City will become a city of research, a city full of creativity and imagination.
In the future, the Lion City will only provide research-oriented jobs, and individuals who are not qualified for research-oriented positions will continue to use their talents in the virtual world.
Keeping yourself happy is also a form of intelligence.
The success of a collective must be based on individual happiness.
Rather than sacrificing individual happiness for the sake of collective strength.
Therefore, we must further promote technological research and development and scientific and technological progress, explore the boundaries of science, and discover or create more valuable results based on the technology I provide.
For talented individuals, I will give them the opportunity to become a mage. The ability of a mage in research will far exceed that of ordinary people. This is both ability and responsibility.
While it is important to develop science and technology, we must also build a fair, equal and inclusive society so that people in Singapore, regardless of race, language, religion, or family background, can enjoy the same opportunities to succeed and realize their ideals. .
The past prosperity and progress of the Lion City society are indispensable to this fair, equal and inclusive social environment.
But I think it’s not enough. Privilege still exists, and people in Lion City have always longed for a more equitable voice.
I will make radical changes on this, and in the future society of Lion City, all people will be equal.
Each person's social status depends on his own contribution to the Lion City and human society, and has nothing to do with any other innate factors.
The Chinese people will be fully involved in every decision, not only understanding the various choices faced by each policy and the pros and cons involved. At the same time, the decision-making power of every policy lies in the hands of everyone.
Next, I will start a series of work to let the people of Lion City experience a better tomorrow. "
After Zheng Li finished speaking, Li Xianlong knew that his plan was likely to fail.
As a political animal through and through, Li Xianlong heard too many factors that were not conducive to him from Zheng Li's speech.
Just fairer.
Was the Lion City fair before? It is obviously fair in all countries, but it is still far from true fairness.
Because the Li family has great privileges, other wealthy classes also have privileges, but under the Li family, everyone is basically equal.
Then, in terms of inheritance tax and so on, it can be seen that the Lion City is a country that takes special care of the capitalist class.
It is becoming more and more difficult for the poor to achieve class crossing, but it is more difficult for the rich to achieve class slippage.
Assets grow faster than labor income.
The employment proposed by Zheng Li is a welfare that provides protection to everyone.
In Lee Hsien Loong's view, it is a Nordic-style society, and the Lion City has actually been able to achieve this for a long time.
But if you want to do that, you have to tax the rich, and tax the rich to support the poor.
If the Lion City does this, it is equivalent to extinguishing its status as Asia's financial center.
Of course, as Zheng Li is the leader of the Lion City, there are other ways, such as through new technologies.
Biophotovoltaic technology alone is more than enough to support the entire population of Lion City.
But Li Xianlong felt that Zheng Li would not do this.
He had a very bad premonition that everything he had in the Lion City would be lost.
