Chapter 125 Tianjin Conference

Two days later, the first enlarged meeting of the Provisional Executive Committee was officially held at the Gordon Hall in the former Tianjin Concession.

In the later history of the crossing group, the Tianjin meeting was used as the name of this meeting, and together with the Dagukou meeting that was previously opened, it was called one of the three most important meetings after the landing of the crossing group. The series of small meetings held before the Tianjin Conference were collectively referred to as the preparatory meetings of the Tianjin Conference.

Originally, before the Tianjin meeting was held, the focus of the meeting was to improve the organizational structure of the Provisional Executive Committee and to establish administrative departments at all levels, but in fact, the candidates for the heads of various departments had basically already been determined at the previous preparatory meetings.

The biggest role of the Tianjin meeting is to clarify the current organizational structure system of the group. The meeting first formally determined that the Interim Executive Committee is the highest leadership body of the Group, and five permanent executive members are responsible for leading all the work of the Group, and the five people are ranked in order of Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun, Wang Yunpeng, and Xu Jichao.

This has straightened out the relationship between the Interim Executive Council and the Military Council, avoided organizational confusion and, as the entire Crossing Group has demonstrated, the Interim Executive Council is not a military junta.

Then, below the Provisional Executive Committee, two main organs, the Military Committee of the Provisional Executive Committee and the Administrative Department of the Provisional Executive Committee, were set up, which were respectively the highest military organs and the highest administrative body of the Crossing Group, and Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, and Xiao Jianjun naturally served as members of the Military Committee, while Wang Yunpeng served as the head of the Administration Department and Xu Jichao served as the deputy minister to manage administrative affairs. Two systems of separation of military and political affairs were formed, and at the same time under the leadership of the Provisional Executive Committee. At the same time, the Tianjin meeting also passed that after the end of the meeting, the whole country will be officially electrified, announcing the arrival of the crossing group.

Under the Ministry of Administration, nine departments will be set up for the time being: the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Auditing, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Technology, and the Ministry of Justice, and seven departments will be set up, including the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Resources.

The general structure of each department is that there is a director and one or three deputy ministers, and if there is a sub-office, the highest position of the sub-department is called the director, and each sub-department has a section and a number of staff.

Although, in principle, the ministers of the departments are nominated by the Minister of Administration and then submitted to the Interim Executive Committee for approval, while the Deputy Ministers and other staff are nominated by the Minister and approved by the Ministry of Administration, in practice the Ministers of the various departments, including most of the Deputy Ministers, have been selected in a series of previous preparatory meetings. Of course, this situation is also a normal phenomenon in the politics of various countries in the old time and space. The revocation of dismissal by the ministers of various departments is also in accordance with this procedure.

The Ministers of the Departments are:

The Minister of Finance was appointed by Jia Zhenzhao, he was originally responsible for the work of the Ministry of Technology, before the Tianjin Conference, has been active, hoping to transfer to a more important department, because he was originally from a financial background, so Wang Yunpeng installed him to the Ministry of Finance as a minister, the two vice ministers are Zhao Rui, Zhu Nanzhen, both of whom have the title of national certified public accountant in the old time and space, before the crossing, have been responsible for the financial affairs of their respective construction units, it can be said that they are experienced, proficient in business, and can be called professional talents. In addition, in the future, the establishment of banks and tax departments will also be temporarily subordinated to the Ministry of Finance.

The Ministry of Personnel is a department that was established a long time ago, and the Minister Zhang Yuming has basically established and maintained the organization. However, the function of the personnel department is not only to establish a personnel file database, but also to establish a personnel management system, which is responsible for personnel assessment and examination. As well as standardizing personnel training, examination and selection procedures, and labor management systems, etc.

The minister of the Ministry of Public Security is Zhang Lichen, the former deputy captain of the Taihu ship, and the deputy minister is Li Ya, the former deputy political commissar of the Taihu ship. The rest of the staff is basically selected from the reserves, and the job system is basically the same as that of the old time and space.

The head of the audit department is Zhang Zichen, the former deputy captain of the Changbaishan ship, and the deputy minister is Xie Zhihuan, the former quartermaster of the Changbaishan ship.

The minister of the Ministry of Construction is You Mingqian, who was originally the person in charge of the construction of the shipyard, and is no stranger to construction projects, and Vice Ministers Xu Dingsheng and Jiang Zhiyuan also have the titles of senior engineers. In addition, the departments of water conservancy, electric power, transportation, and railways are all under the Ministry of Construction for the time being.

The Minister of Education is Jia Wenbo, and the vice ministers are Fang Bin and Fang Guizhi, of course, Fang Bin is still concurrent.

Li Songchen is the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Zeng Dong and Wang Sheng, vice ministers, all three of whom have participated in the agricultural inspection of Tianjin and have a certain understanding of the agricultural situation in this era.

Wang Jun, the minister of the technical department, and Zhang Bohao, the deputy minister, was the technical director of the oil project, and he was the most educated person in the entire crossing group, with a doctorate degree, and a doctor of physics, which is a typical technical talent.

The Minister of Justice is served by Gu Ruipeng, and he is also the only minister in various departments other than the military, who is not an executive member or alternate executive member, and the reason is very simple, Gu Ruipeng studied law, and he also studied [international law], and before the crossing, he was the top legal adviser for several engineering construction. Vice Ministers Xu Wenjun and Liu Yinglin are both lawyers and have been studying [international law] for many years.

Because in the old time and space, with the increase of China's national strength, coupled with the construction of the AIIB and the Belt and Road Economic Belt, the number of foreign trade projects is also increasing, and at the same time, there are more foreign-related legal entanglements, so it requires a large number of professionals to study and study [international law].

In addition, the candidates for the seven departments to be established have also been determined, including Minister of Security Shang Qisong, Vice Minister Jiang Shiwei, Minister of Health Ren Wendian, Minister of Health Wang Jun, Minister of Supervision Ding Xinghua, Minister of Foreign Affairs Li Sanjie, Minister of Industry Lu Hong, and Minister of Resources An Xiangui. Except for Ding Xinghua, who was the political commissar of the former Taihu ship, the others were all executive members and alternate executive members.

On the whole, although not all the ministers of every department were professionals, at least the deputy positions were professionals, and all parties were basically satisfied with this result, and in the following month, each department carried out its work while further improving the structure and personnel of its own department, and the administrative organs at all levels were basically established.

However, after the nomination and deliberation of routine business were completed, the Tianjin Conference entered the formal agenda, and of course, compared with the original intention of the Tianjin Conference, it was actually off topic.

There were two topics formally discussed at the Tianjin meeting, and both of them were derived from Li Songchen's report. The first report is that Li Songchen proposed to formulate an internal system similar to a provisional covenant or a basic law, so as to determine the various institutional laws of the crossing group, as well as the rights and obligations of each crosser, and the establishment of the country in the future, the special status of the crossing group, and so on.

Although the structure of the Interim Executive Committee has been gradually improved, the system construction has not yet been fundamental, the terms of reference of various departments, institutions at all levels, and the mode of operation have not been determined, and the laws and regulations of the entire crossing group are also blank, and now the code of conduct of the crossing group is mainly based on the laws, regulations, habits, and self-discipline of people in the old time and space.

However, relying on the customs, systems, and laws of the old time and space is not a long-term solution, because these systems are theoretically invalid, after all, any system and law rely on the sovereign state to exist, but the country in the old time and space did not exist at this time, and the Provisional Executive Committee did not officially recognize the validity of the laws of the old time and space.

Therefore, it is of course necessary to formulate a set of laws and systems that belong to this time and space, and in a large way, it can allow the power struggle to be carried out within an appropriate range, and will not consume the power of the traversing group because of infighting, and in a small aspect, it is to fully guarantee the rights and obligations and interests of each traverser.

And if we think a little further, if a new country is really established in the future, how to determine the special status of the crossing group in the new country, and ensure the privileges and interests of every traveler and the descendants of their children in the new country. However, it is necessary to control these privileges and interests within a certain range, so that first, they will not go against the tide of history and allow the crossing group to rule the new country permanently; second, they will not threaten the normal development and operation of the entire country and reach a balance point, which is also related to the vital interests of every traverser. Therefore, Li Songchen's proposal naturally won the unanimous approval of the participants.

However, at the Tianjin Conference, only a major principle for formulating a legal system could be determined, and the detailed system provisions, judicial interpretations, etc., still needed corresponding time and personnel to complete.

Therefore, at the meeting, it was decided to name this law as the "Provisional Covenant Law", and after the completion of the compilation, it will be implemented as the supreme law of the crossing group, and the principle of compilation is fairness and justice, and the principle of democracy is full of embodiment within the group, and the interests of each person who crosses will be safeguarded.

At the same time, a drafting committee for the [Provisional Constitution] was set up, headed by Li Songchen, who submitted the report, bringing together ministers from other departments and military representatives, and composed mainly of personnel from the Ministry of Justice, a total of 26 people, and directly responsible for the five permanent executive members. Strive to come up with a preliminary plan within three to five months.
