Qin Zheng turned around and said to Qiu Fengjia again: "Mr. Qiu has heard it, Mr. Jingfang's family is high-minded, and he doesn't plan to ask us to return the bonds, but not everyone has Mr. Jingfang's mind, not to mention that this also involves the faith of our **, so the bonds we issue must be repaid on time, and even the interest cannot be less." ”

Li Jingfang said: "Mr. Qiu is the first time to deal with East China, if you grow up, you will know that East China is indeed a letter of righteousness, and he must do what he says." ”

Qin Zheng said: "People do not stand without trust, the country should be based on faith, bonds are guaranteed by the credit of the first, how can we lose faith in the people." But without Japan's reparations, what are we going to do to pay these debts?"

After a pause, Qin Zheng said again: "Of course, we have received a large amount of compensation from Britain, France and the Netherlands, although it is not enough to repay all the debts, it can also cover most of it, and the rest can be paid off as scheduled by our annual financial revenue, but now it is not that it has been peaceful, the northern Tsarist Russia has not yet yielded, and is still deploying troops to try to reverse the defeat, and although Britain and France have been defeated, their national strength has not been greatly damaged, and they can make a comeback at any time, we cannot take it lightly." What's more, it is within the Xiao wall, and there is no internal trouble. Just when we were at war with Japan and Russia, the Qing court sent troops to attack our territory in Henan, although the Qing army was repelled by us, but this internal trouble should not be underestimated, so we can only end the war with Japan as soon as possible, and get as much compensation funds as possible from Japan to ensure that we still have the ability to continue fighting, and to recover Taiwan, this time we can only give up. ”

Qiu Fengjia is not a person who is messing around, and he also knows that he has no reason to ask East China to recover Taiwan, and this time he came to see Qin Zheng, only with the mentality of doing his best and obeying the destiny of heaven, but after listening to Qin Zheng's words, he still couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, from his heart, he would rather hope that East China ** would give up recovering Taiwan for other reasons, because that shows that East China ** can still recover Taiwan, as long as he works hard, and then persuades him in the name of national righteousness, it is still possible to move East China** changed the strategy, or went out to recover Taiwan in 1 or 2 years, but after listening to Qin Zheng's words, Qiu Fengjia realized that this time East China ** really has no spare strength to recover Taiwan. Since it is Qin Zheng's mention of internal troubles, it shows that it is possible to develop outward only after the internal troubles are eliminated, so this also means that it is impossible for East China to send troops to recover Taiwan for a considerable period of time in the future. He could only sigh and said, "In this way, Taiwan will never return to China." ”

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Qiu don't have to be disappointed, although we have not been able to recover Taiwan this time, we will recover Taiwan sooner or later, I just ask Mr. Qiu to wait patiently." ”

Qiu Fengjia bowed to Qin Zheng again and said, "I don't know if Speaker Qin can tell him when you will be able to take back Taiwan to comfort Fengjia's heart." ”

Qin Zheng thought for a while and said, "In 10 years at least, or 15 years at most, we will be able to recover Taiwan." ”

Qiu Fengjia was also silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, it's not too late for ten years to take revenge, so what's the matter if Fengjia waits for another 10." ”

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "But to recover Taiwan, you still need the help of people with lofty ideals like Mr. Qiu." ”

Qiu Fengjia hurriedly said: "As long as it is a place where you have useful students, you will go to the soup and fight the fire, and you will never be the same." ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "I don't know if Mr. Qiu has the intention, come with me to Qingdao and my party, first, to see our weather, and second, to discuss the recovery of Taiwan in the long run." ”

In fact, Qiu Fengjia did want to Qingdao to see the customs of East China, and he also had an idea in his heart, now East China wants to replace the Qing court, and it is not a secret to change the dynasty, and Qiu Fengjia basically does not have any hope for the Qing court, so if you see it in Qingdao, East China ** really has the gas image of opening the dynasty and building the foundation, then take refuge in the door of East China**, see Qin Zheng's invitation, naturally he will not refuse, and said: "Thanks to the invitation, Fengjia should accept his life." ”

Qin Zheng said: "That's it, Mr. Qiu will prepare for the day today, pack his luggage and belongings, and we will set off by boat early tomorrow morning." ”

So on the second day, Qiu Fengjia led his children to board a passenger ship with Qin Zheng, left Shanghai, and arrived in Qingdao after a one-and-a-half-day voyage.

Now the institutions in East China are basically perfect, and there are also special people to receive visiting guests, and the social status, level, and fame of the visitors are different, and they all have their own standards for reception, Qin Zheng positioned Qiu Fengjia as a second-class celebrity, and naturally there are relevant personnel to arrange the accommodation of a cadre according to this standard, and take him to visit the cityscape of Qingdao, factories, schools, and nearby farms, villages and other places, so that Qin Zheng does not have to worry about it.

And back in Qingdao, Qin Zheng has more important things, that is, the election of the new leader.

In fact, there is not much suspense in the election, although on the whole, East China is still generally implemented in the collective leadership system, and in the past five years since the establishment of East China, on the basis of poverty and whiteness, the current achievements can basically be attributed to the joint efforts of the 5-member group and all members of the Executive Yuan, and it is by no means the credit of 1 or 2 people. But Xia Bohai still showed the qualities that a qualified leader should have, and made correct and important decisions at several Guan Jian moments, and the other 4 members of the 5-member group had no intention of challenging Xia Bohai's position, and the others were not able to shake Xia Bohai's position, so it can also be said that Xia Bohai's re-election is basically no suspense.

And the real trouble is the election process, according to the regulations of East China, the election of leaders should be participated by all legal age travelers, but now the stalls in East China are too large, and the personnel are scattered very open, so it is impossible to gather everyone to Qingdao to vote as it was 5 years ago, even if it is to set up polling points in other regions, it is not possible to ensure that all travelers participate in voting, after all, the current transportation and communication are not as developed as before the crossing, East China ** It is also impossible to set up a poll wherever there are travelers, and there are also some travelers who are not interested in politics and do not have a strong intention to vote.

So before this election, a resolution was also passed in the Senate that as long as the number of people participating in the vote reaches 80% of the legal age, it can be counted as a vote, but in order to be elected, it must obtain 50% of the legal age crosser, and if this number of votes is not reached, a second election will be held in the first and second votes, and the person with the most votes will be elected.

A week later, the ballot boxes at all polling stations were returned to Qingdao, where they were inspected by all the senators in the Senate House and the total number of votes was counted.

In the end, the number of participants in this vote reached 5918, reaching more than 90% of the legal age traverser, and the vote was determined to be valid, and Xia Bohai won 4927 votes, reaching the absolute advantage of about 80% of the legal age traverser, and was successfully re-elected, and Qin Zheng also received 661 votes, Wang Yunpeng won 183 votes, and Xu Jichao won 147 votes.

After Xia Bohai was re-elected, he nominated candidates for various committees of the Executive Yuan, and basically retained the personnel of the previous term, because on the whole, the work of the members of the Executive Yuan of this session is very effective, and they have not established a relatively perfect national political system, and their achievements in all aspects of internal affairs and foreign affairs are also remarkable, so they won the war in the Far East and created a good situation for the next development of East China. At the same time, it also provides a good development platform for all traversers.

It can be said that now East China** Even if they are not enterprising, they are all arranged to a certain position, even if it is just an idle position, but whether it is a position or social status, it is much stronger than in the old time and space, and the traversers who have the intention to do a career in this era, whether they are independent entrepreneurs, or in politics, or in public enterprises, have also made achievements of different sizes, so on the whole, the vast majority of the travelers are still quite recognized by the work of the Executive Yuan.

Of course, not all the traversers recognize the work of the Executive Yuan, some people think that the work of the Executive Yuan is not done well, and the support and help for the traversers is not enough, and the traversers should be provided with greater and more support; some people think that the work of the Executive Yuan is very easy, and anyone can do it at the current level, and it is not worth boasting about, if it is on their own, they must be able to do better than them, but such voices are not mainstream after all, and the work of the Executive Yuan cannot be done to everyone's satisfaction, so it can also be ignored。

On the other hand, there are not many people available in East China, the vast majority of the traversers are ordinary people in the old time and space, although there are a small number of ** officials, but the administrative level is not high, lack of governing experience, everyone, including the five-person group, actually has a little bit of the meaning of crossing the river by feeling the stones, fortunately, the territory of East China ** at the beginning of its establishment is not large, only one province in Shandong, everyone is groping while doing, learning on the job, and this is how it comes.

However, in the past five years, the members of the Executive Yuan have gone from immature to mature, and have accumulated a lot of experience, so that they are not as uncertain as they have been in the past five years, and in line with the principle of using practice instead of birth, it is natural that all these personnel should be retained.

After nomination, the nominees are consulted in the Senate and then voted on by the MPs. Among the original ** high-level leaders, only Qin Zheng does not have to worry about his position, because the speaker of the Senate House is elected in the Senate House of Ministers, and there is no need for Xia Bohai to nominate him, and the election cycle of the Senate House is different from the ** election cycle, and it is not yet time for the election, Qin Zheng is still quite stable.

After more than 10 days of consultation and voting, all the nominees were approved by the Senate and could officially take office. However, the new ** top official took office after New Year's Day in 1907, and there are still about 20 days to go.
