Chapter five hundred and forty-two on meritorious deeds

Western observers in 1993 were generally optimistic about the achievements of countries changing their banners after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Although observers from the West did not expect to see hundreds of years of elected politics in Europe and the United States, they always had the fantasy of "at least it can be done."

The young people of Azerbaijani and Aliyev taught them a lesson.

If there is no essential difference between candidates participating in the general election, who cares who is elected?

How big is the difference between Aliyev and Husseinnov? Political commentators at this time cannot explain it clearly. The people in the capital Baku may actively participate in the election because of their extremely high enthusiasm for political participation and the infiltration of Western media. Not many Azerbaijanis in other regions care about the election.

For cities like Siki, they have no regional blood relationship with no candidate, so urban residents do not have the desire to vote. However, a good dinner is worth tasting.

Henkel and others could not interfere with the election, so they could only lift up cameras and huge cameras to photograph and interview local residents.

After a while, someone came out of the polling station and wanted to drive them away.

The aggressive Azerbaijanis did not intimidate Henkel. Under the protection of several companions, he spoke in Russian: "We are election observers, we have the power to record and shoot..."

The guy who came out of the polling station said impatiently: "What are you taking a meal? Stand farther away!"

"You guys are cheating."

"What?" The staff at the polling station showed a puzzled look.

Seeing that he really didn't understand, Henkel suddenly had hope. He hurriedly said, "It's wrong for you to invite the voters to dinner. This is election fraud."

"Checked?"

“Checked.”

"Why did you cheat?" The man at the polling station instantly got around again.

The hopeful Henkel was stunned for a while. He put down the camera in his hand and said seriously: "During the election, many voters' choices are uncertain. At this time, the most important thing is to maintain fairness and fairness..."

"What does that have to do with eating?"

"You give the voters food, which is suspected of bribing them with food."

"What you mean is to let everyone walk so far and not give them food. When it gets dark, they will rush back?"

Henkel had absolutely never thought about this and hesitated: "It is OK to let them pay for food themselves, and it is not suitable for free."

The big man at the polling station laughed and pointed at Henkel, like a white-haired giant panda in the zoo, in fast-paced Russian. He said with a crackling sound: "The food in the city is so much more expensive than that in the family. If you don't want to come to vote, why do you need to come here to eat? Besides, what's wrong with giving everyone a meal to spend so much money to vote?"

"Only those who vote for Aliyev can eat here for free, right? Isn't this a bribery election!"

"We don't care about the people who pay for the food."

“Aren’t you responsible for the polling station?”

"We are all temporary workers." The man at the polling station said proudly: "We were elected by each city. After the vote was over, I went home."

The big man answered questions and answered questions, but none of them wanted to hear.

Henkel, who is well-fed and well-dressed, can keep up with the Azerbaijani thinking patterns?

But Su Cheng was trembling with laughter.

He had known that this would be the result.

Not to mention Azerbaijan in 1993, Russia has still had 100,000 protests, demanding punishment for election corruption.

As for Aliyev and his son who can control this country for more than ten or even decades, the election cannot be like European and American countries.

Han Chenghang and Minister Zheng were also speechless.

If a Chinese official does not know the poverty of mountain villages and towns, he can be labeled as ignorant of the people's sentiment. But it would be normal for the US imperialist officials to not understand the poverty of underdeveloped countries when it is the turn of American imperialists to not understand the poverty of underdeveloped countries.

Most gentlemen and ladies from European and American countries are not very concerned about other countries in the world, and they feel polarized.

Although Henkel and others are a little normal, they cannot figure out the pulse of the Azerbaijanis.

The men at the polling station had long been impatient. Seeing that they were silent, they shook their hands like flying, and said, "Go away quickly, so many of you are surrounded here to affect the voting."

"We influence voting?" A red-haired Nordic woman stood up screaming, her lips tilted, and she looked very angry.

The other party looked at him with obvious eyes, pointed to the electronic devices around him, and said, "Whoever will vote or even vote for you will leak? What if they are retaliated?"

"Revenge? How could it be?" Nordic people who had not experienced war for many years were no longer familiar with the business of revenge.

Su Cheng was behind and said softly in English: "Husseinnov still controls the army."

Given the current situation in Azerbaijan, it is extremely difficult for the military government to survive, which is also the reason why Husseinnov did not come to power directly. He did not have the ability to bear military pay and government expenses at the same time. However, this does not mean that Husseinnov does not have the ability to overthrow the election by force.

Among the tripartite forces in Azerbaijan, Husseinnov is the only one who is qualified to turn the table up.

Whether you can do it is one thing, and whether you can do it is another.

It is not surprising to say that voters have some doubts about this.

The members of the International Observatory Team did not take photos unscrupulously, and the polling stations slowly returned to normal. People were still eating free dinners and voting for Aliyev.

The democratic fighters looked at the scene in front of them and cried without tears.

After a long time, Han Chenghang asked in a low voice: "Is it so obvious that Husseinnov and Mamedov will not object?"

Su Cheng said simply: "It's beyond reach."

“It’s still very close to Baku.”

"So this polling station is still relatively rules." Su Cheng's words made Han Chenghang stunned.

He really wanted to ask what a non-rules polling station looks like, but he finally held it back.

Being an official is rare to be confused, but being a diplomat is better to be confused.

On the way back, everyone became much silent.

Han Chenghang surrounded Sucheng and chatted with nothing to say, and became cold to Minister Zheng. After today's observation, he could no longer judge the fact that Aliyev was about to come to power, so his level was too poor.

Minister Zheng also realized this and his face was so gloomy that he didn't know what he was thinking.

Henkel and others wrote quickly and prepared to report to the upwards.

However, the vote counting work of the presidential election was not affected by the observers and started on time without stopping.

This is still a very skillful job, and there are countless tricks.

Almost all elected countries have had disputes asking for a recount, and the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled more than once the election counting results.

In the new "democratic countries", the possibility of disputes is even greater.

All those involved in this matter started their work in a nervous mood, boxes of votes were dumped on the table, counted and recorded manually. All the scenes looked right except those involved.

When a group of Azerbaijanis want to cheat, several foreigners can't take care of it.

Repeated counting of votes and missing votes is just the beginning, and direct modification of numbers is inevitable.

Of course, this time it was not only Aliyev who was cheating, but Mamedov and Husseinnov were also cheating.

It's also a game, but it's not as open and upright as it seems.

On the last day, the situation began to become tense.

The army controlled by Husseinnov is a fearful existence after all. Western society is even more worried that the elected government will become a military government, and the ambassadors shuttle back and forth, warning Husseinnov not to use force, and warned Aliyev not to use the people.

Time passes by minute by minute.

It was finally easy to get through the evening and the counting work was officially completed.

Husseinov, Aliyev and Mamedov sat down in the audience with their wives and subordinates, waiting for the moment of the cupping.

Everyone stared at the host nervously.

The same is true for Su Cheng and others.

Everyone is like cheating gamblers. Even if they know the number of dice points on the cup, they will be nervous when they open the cup.

In a moment, an envelope was handed to the host.

He opened, read, confirmed, and read again, raised the microphone and shouted: "The President of Azerbaijan is..."

After a moment of pause, the host raised the volume again: "Yes... Geedar Alievich Aliyev!"

Cheers suddenly started.

Su Cheng didn't understand Russian, but he was familiar with the pronunciation of "Aliyev", so he shook his arm hard and stood up.

Wang Guan and other great Chinese people shouted even more excitedly.

Aliyev smiled like a Santa Claus. He did not immediately walk up the platform, but stood with Husseinov and said something softly.

The two had communicated earlier, and Husseinov actually expected this result. He did not show any obvious disappointment. After a few simple words, he held hands with Aliyev and walked towards the high platform together.

The eyes of the European and Americans present suddenly lit up, and Henkel, all applauded desperately.

In Western elections, election victory is important, but the loser admits failure is equally important.

It can be said that the end of an election should be marked by the speech of the loser, not the speech of the winner.

This is also the most lacking characteristic of failed democracies.

Han Chenghang couldn't help but praise: "Husseinnov picked up and put down, he was a soldier."

"I will never treat him badly." Su Cheng said in a low voice. Husseinnov had already received the Prime Minister's promise, but the position at a level lower than the president is also very tempting.

However, Husseinov and Aliyev will part ways sooner or later, which is also destined by Azerbaijan.

Han Chenghang asked curiously: "If you reward merits and do you think of merit, where will the Director Su get?"

Su Cheng shook his head slightly, he really couldn't explain it clearly.
