Catherine's speech lasted for more than ten minutes. She gave a very detailed account of the changes in the political system, the economic recovery plan, the reform of workers 'welfare, the abolition of noble privileges, and other aspects.
Among them, the most shocking was the realization of a constitution, with the Russians choosing the prime minister.
What kind of concept was this?
1. The constitution of the monarch retained the emperor but did not give him real power, making the emperor a nominal representative.
2. More democratic, more conducive to the development of capitalists.
3. Relieve class contradictions, regional contradictions, and class contradictions, and improve and maintain the moral standards of society.
4. It is beneficial to the governance of society.
Under the constitution of a monarch, the emperor was the head of the country, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the hereditary leader of the state religion.
The monarch was in a position of ruling but not governing, and his status as the symbol of the country was even more prominent.
The center of the country's power would be in the parliament, which would be the country's highest law-making body. The cabinet would control the executive power and be responsible to the parliament. The power given to the emperor by law would be exercised by the cabinet and the parliament.
But was it that simple?
No!
The Qin Emperor only wanted to use the constitution to deceive the world and let the Russians support Catherine to ascend the throne and become the new Empress of Russia.
As for how to implement the constitution, that was a matter for the future.
Who said that the emperor must have no power under a constitution?
……
Smoke filled Moscow.
Catherine's magnetic and dignified voice came from the loudspeaker. The workers and soldiers who were killing with bloodshot eyes stopped and pricked up their ears to listen to the queen's speech.
The Privy Council and the military joined forces to depose the Tsar!
Cancel the breach of contract order and continue to fulfill the basic project contracting contract signed between Queen Elizabeth and the Qin Group.
The Constitution of the Monarchies! Give power back to the people!
Business law reform!
Reforming the labor law and improving the welfare system for workers!
Abolish the privileges of nobles!
After the ten-minute speech, Catherine sincerely requested,"Russian citizens, please put down your weapons and go home to reunite with your families. The government will send people to treat the injured!”
"Please give the government some time. We won't let the citizens down!”
This was because Catherine had a good reputation among the people. Everyone in Russia knew that this queen from Germany was highly valued by Queen Elizabeth. She often fought for the interests of the people at the bottom of the Privy Council. For example, the provisions on maternity leave in the labor law were implemented by Catherine after persuading the Queen.
Not only that, she also proposed that the government invest in infrastructure projects to create jobs and reduce the employment rate.
However, because the government did not have the money to invest, they had to outsource the infrastructure project to the Qin's Group.
It was also Catherine who persuaded her old friend and fellow countryman, Mr. Qin, to persuade the Qin Group to invest. In the end, it was decided. It solved the employment problem of millions of people and pulled the economy to gradually recover.
Now that Empress Catherine had taken over and promised so many policies that would benefit the country and the people, 90% of the Russians chose to believe her.
The workers who participated in the riot put down their weapons and went home to wait to see if the Empress would fulfill her promise.
The crisis was resolved!
However, this time, it affected all the major cities in the country. The strike, riot, and armed conflict lasted for 20 hours. The total number of workers destroyed tens of thousands of shops, killed more than 100,000 people, and injured 300,000 to 400,000 people. It shocked the world.
Fortunately, Catherine made a timely move to turn the tide, and the economic losses were not affected much!
However, if the policy promised to the people could not be fulfilled, the consequences would be serious.
Peter had been taken away and placed under house arrest. Catherine was discussing how to deal with the nobles with Oravec and other ministers.
Abolishing the privileges of the aristocrats and returning power to the people would completely subvert the political system of the Russian Empire that had lasted for hundreds of years. It would definitely cause opposition from the aristocrats.
How could he disintegrate the deep-rooted aristocratic class?
Orawec, who was internally appointed as the new prime minister, made a suggestion!
The suggestion was given by Qin Jun, and the purpose was to increase Oravec's political capital so that he could win the support of the Russian people in the upcoming election.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we take back the land in the hands of the noble landowners. If they are unwilling, then let the people decide their fate.”
Catherine, who knew Qin Jun's plan, didn't say anything.
The ministers and generals were speechless.
Oravec continued to explain his plan.
"With His Majesty's promise, the workers and soldiers should obey the orders of the new government. The original local government agencies have been paralyzed, and the police agencies have run away.”
" The next step should be to call on the workers to take action and let the factory capitalists in the country be supervised and managed by the workers, uprooting the old system and rule.”
" Also, since we have chosen to fall out with the nobles and the capitalists, we must start the land reform. We must encourage the workers and soldiers to go to the countryside, and let the returning workers and soldiers lead the peasants to participate in the reform. We will continue to deprive the landlords of their property and land, and we will demand a thorough land reform.”
" With the support of the government, the farmers should have tried carefully at the beginning, and then they will take collective action. In the end, they will complete the land reform on their own. In the end, the government will take action and nationalize the factories and banks in the city.”
Qin Jun's thoughts were very simple!
Instead of letting others reform, it was better to do it himself.
By expelling the old bureaucrats, nobles, capitalists, and landlords from the government and establishing a new government dominated by workers, farmers, and soldiers, while stabilizing the status of the royal family, it could also win the hearts of the people. It was killing two birds with one stone.
However, this very radical plan made everyone feel that it was unreliable.
Voroshilov frowned." Mr. Prime Minister, the abolition of the privileges of the nobles has touched the bottom line of the nobles. If we implement the agrarian revolution and take back all their assets, many noble generals and officers in the army will definitely rebel!”
"Impossible. So what if the noble officers rebelled? Can they command the soldiers?"
"Among the 1.8 million soldiers of the Imperium, almost all the bottom-level soldiers are from the bottom. The agrarian revolution is beneficial to them.”
"Since it's beneficial, why do you still work for the nobles?”
Faced with Oravec's rhetorical question, Voroshilov had nothing to say.
It was indeed the case. It was unlikely that the soldiers would join the rebellion.
"On behalf of the military, I agree with the Prime Minister's suggestion!”
