The bus of the observation group drove from inside the city to outside the city, and you could see several voting points along the way. They were all standard, beautiful and solemn, and there were orderly Azerbaijani people queuing. [This article comes from]

Western representatives watched the seeds of democracy germinate happily, and even Han Chenghang said in a daze: "It is not easy for Azerbaijan to do this for the first time. Maybe the election can really be a benchmark?"

Su Cheng sat in front of him, and when he heard his words, he did not look back, and smiled and said, "This is the concession in Azerbaijan. Outside and here are two worlds."

"You mean, it will be much worse outside?" Although Han Chenghang was a diplomatic ambassador, he had no direct understanding of the former Soviet Union's franchisors after the disintegration. He had just arrived in Baku and was building an understanding of Azerbaijan.

Since Sucheng is preparing to acquire oil fields in Azerbaijan, it is inevitable to contact Han Chenghang. So, following the topic he is interested in, he said: "Azerbaijan is a mountainous country, but it is also a major development area for heavy industry in the Soviet Union. Coupled with the gap in industry and agriculture, the income gap between farmers and workers in this country is probably even greater than that in China. The more remote the place is, the lower the level of concern for politics, and the scenario of queuing up to vote will probably become another form."

Han Chenghang recalled the information he had read before and said: "In the Soviet era, Azerbaijan and Russia were the only two franchise republics that did not require subsidies. Their oil income was very prominent and the education system for the whole nation was not very different."

Chinese believe in the equality of basic rights in Soviet society, to some extent, it is true. But the Azerbaijanis who were in contact with Suzhou City were busy with livelihoods all day long, and it is unlikely that it would be difficult for them to focus on political elections. In fact, fighting for more voters who do not care about politics is the core of the election of a small country.

Su Cheng didn't say in detail, smiled slightly, and said, "Education is education, but with Azerbaijan's current economic conditions, those who are focused on politics must at least be people who are not hungry."

Han Chenghang nodded in a vague way and looked out the window. It was the first time he had left Baku these days when he came to Azerbaijan.

Minister Zheng sat next to Su Cheng. But he held his own identity and took the initiative to talk to Su Cheng once, but he would never start talking again. The place where the three Chinese sat suddenly became quiet.

Europeans and Americans in the same car were all excited. They were media workers. They kept recording and writing manuscripts, and they would never stop talking, and they often used English.

Su Cheng and others listened like radio.

After a while, the first town outside Baku arrived.

The bus in front stopped and the bus in the back also pulled over. Henkel, who is very organized, led the crowd to get off, and as usual, he went for the voting site.

You can still see the Azerbaijanis queuing up to vote here, except that they are dressed more simple than in the city. There is no big difference.

Su Cheng was too lazy to get out of the car, so he looked through the window, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Han Chenghang observed his expression and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"I just left the city. The ticket office is old. The provisional government is short of money than I imagined." Su Cheng said and laughed, "I was talking about it on paper and didn't run outside much. Now I think about it, Azerbaijan probably bought the old goods from Eastern Europeans."

There were only Minister Zheng, Su Cheng and Han Chenghang. Han Chenghang didn't need to pretend to understand. He asked curiously: "What does it matter if the old goods save money?"

"This is Azerbaijan's face, and the United Nations and Western countries have sponsored it. Azerbaijan is doing this, and you will know how poor the various places are." Seeing that Han Chenghang didn't understand, Su Cheng explained: "Everywhere to make up for the polling stations, the less the funds are, the worse the polling stations will be built."

"Didn't it meant to be unified?"

"How can it be really unified?" Su Cheng said disdainfully: "Who will build a good and large polling station in the other party's voter's voting warehouse? They wish that the other party's voters would be annoyed in a long queue and then stop voting."

Han Chenghang was silent. Those who had never experienced Western elections would really not think about these things.

After a short stop, the convoy continued to move forward. At a fork in the road, several cars parted ways and visited another area. Other buses continued to move along the widest road. International observers who took the bus came to see the situation of the grassroots election. Tens of thousands of ordinary observers were responsible for the situation of the grassroots election.

However, even if it was a quick look, Azerbaijan's first election was soon revealed.

At the second polling site outside the city, observers saw a huge portrait of Aliyev and propaganda pictures.

This is not allowed. Because for many voters who do not have clear goals, pictures outside the polling station have psychological suggestive effects.

However, observers are only qualified to observe and do not interfere with the elections of other countries. At this point, observers from European and American countries did a great job. Henkel used his carry-on camera to take pictures from all angles, and then got into the car indignantly, and finally said a word.

This is not the first set of photos he took.

The next few polling stations also had various problems that were very unpretentious. The atmosphere of joy and excitement in the bus became much less quiet.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost time for dinner, and the bus stopped in Siki City, 400 kilometers away from Baku.

Most people got out of the car, shook their legs, ate something, and then slowly watched around a polling station.

Su Cheng and Han Chenghang walked together, with Minister Zheng behind him.

Minister Zheng could not find his presence in a convoy of foreigners, and it was difficult to find the glory of the deputy minister in Sucheng. He simply found a shop that looked like a fast food restaurant and sat down, waved and called, gestured and shouted in Russian: "Give me a meal."

It was the time for dinner, and there were many people eating. The owner of the fast food restaurant was so busy that he looked up and asked in Russian: "Are you a foreigner?"

"Chinese." Minister Zheng smiled kindly, as if he was the director of the meteorological department who was visiting the primary school.

"Chinese? Can you vote?" The owner of the fast food restaurant asked in a hurry, but his hands didn't stop.

Minister Zheng said in surprise: "Of course I can't vote anymore."

"There is no food for you, and the food here is only for those who can vote."

"It's not okay to give money?" Minister Zheng took out a green dollar.

The boss glanced at it, lowered his head quickly, and said, "If you want to eat, you have to wait for the voter to finish eating."

"Okay, let's wait." Minister Zheng put the money on the table and then asked curiously: "Why are you only selling food to voters?"

"They packed my shop." The boss put the burrito on a plate and handed it to a guest, saying, "All those who voted for Aliyev can eat for free, and I can only sell it to those who voted for Aliyev today."

"A man who only sells it to Aliyev? What if the other party lies with you?"

"I can't cheat, someone is watching." The boss pointed.

It turned out that every voting room was not sealed, and someone could see it and stamp the arms of those who voted for Aliyev.

The people with Zhang can not only eat for free at the boss, but also eat for free at several other shops.

Even if he doesn't understand the Western electoral system, Minister Zheng knows that this is a bribery... The only problem is that the cost of such bribery is too low.

It turned out to be just a dinner.

The shocked were international observers and their friends.

Although they knew that Azerbaijan's election could not be as light as water, they did not expect that such a place close to Baku would be so turbid.

Not every Azerbaijani exchanges votes for dinner, but it has to be admitted that those who are willing to exchange for dinner are still young and old.

Henkel couldn't help but stop a young man who had finished his vote and asked about his nearby propaganda policies. He only learned that the mobilization for dinner to vote for votes was released a week ago.

Moreover, not only for dinner, the vehicles transporting voters also require voting for Aliyev, otherwise they will have to find a car by themselves.

Only then did Han Chenghang know where Su Cheng's confidence came from and asked deliberately: "The practices of these polling stations will not be related to Director Su, right?"

Su Cheng showed an innocent expression: "I have never heard of these things, and I probably haven't heard of them either. Maybe... they were temporarily hired, so they did it themselves."
