Chapter 276: National Action, Patriotic War

After winning the war in India and recovering southern Tibet, the prestige of the party and the government reached its peak for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Xie Runze's prestige has increased greatly, and he has begun to think about carrying out some experiments in both economic and institutional reforms. He knows very well that in this era of overflowing information, the speed of the spread of all kinds of negative news is no longer something that can be completely blocked by one of the party's 'magic weapons'. The problem of officials and being unkind to the rich is becoming more and more prominent, and there are people who are immortal in their hearts and minds who are trying their best to provoke in the country, and there are even spies from other countries jumping up and down, indulging the people who are more and more stupid in opening up their wisdom. The risk of domestic unrest remains.

The changes in the Lutheran Church are all in Xie Runze's eyes, but he has more important things to do now, and he can't take care of the expansion of the Lutheran Church for the time being. Another reason why he acquiesced to the Lutheran Church's continued development was that the signs of division within the Lutheran Church were becoming increasingly apparent. The main contradiction comes from the two major organizations of the Koshin Society and the Koshin Society. Xie Runze even had the intention of waiting and seeing what happened.

In the past two years, the scale of the Gongyi Society and the Gongxin Society has become larger and stronger, and the independence has also become stronger and stronger, and if they continue to develop at this rate, ten years later, they will be the two Lutheran Churches. Ye Haodong saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

In 2016, Lin Wenzhou, a well-known scholar known as the fighter for democracy in China, published a signed article entitled "China's State of the Union Report" in the National People's Congress during the National People's Congress. This is an article that has been sent to Xie Runze and several other central leaders for review before it was published. After more than half a year of intense discussion, it was finally approved for publication.

After the Qiao family incident, Lin Wenzhou, with the support of Ye Haodong, led a group of enthusiastic young people in Peking University, which lasted several years and went through countless hardships to do research across the country and summarize the conclusions reached. It is of great scientific and practical significance. During this period, if there was no strong violent organization of the Lutheran Church to escort them, Lin Wenzhou and his party would probably not have survived. Despite the protection of Ye Daguan, several young college students were persecuted to death by some local officials. It can be said that this article of more than 20,000 words was written with the enthusiasm of young people.

The article systematically expounds the current national conditions, public conditions, official conditions, and system defects in China, and bluntly says that the current managerial government is no longer suitable for the needs of the times. In the article, Lin Wenzhou bluntly suggested that the government should start with comprehensive and thorough reform in several aspects, such as government behavior, administrative expenditure, management structure, election of people's congress deputies, and transparency of the supervision mechanism.

As soon as the article was published, it caused an uproar, and voices of opposition and overthrow came one after another. Lin Wenzhou, who teaches at Peking University, turned a deaf ear to this. Two months ago, under the joint instruction of Xie Runze and Li Yuanchao, he began to draft more than 10 new bills, such as the Southwest Special Administrative Region, the Bill on Regulating Government Behavior, the Bill on the Examination and Approval of Administrative Expenditures, and the Bill on the Adjustment of Government Agencies. Xie Runze is determined to carry out a pilot political reform in Shancheng. Efforts should be made to find ways to resolve the contradictions between the party, the government, and the civil affairs in China.

At the NPC meeting, Xie Runze vigorously announced the central resolution on the establishment of the Shancheng Special Administrative Region.

Ye Haodong looked at the ambitious old godfather on TV, and smiled with Nong Junting: "At most, two years later, there will be another war." ā€

Nong Junting asked in surprise: "What does his political reform pilot have to do with fighting a war?" ā€

Ye Haodong said: "An Indo-Pakistani war has activated the country's war machine, the surrounding environment is still bad, and the United States has even opened the ban on the sale of fifth-generation aircraft to the countries in the island chain. ā€

Nong Junting didn't believe it, and said: "You have been operating with Hong Tianming in the southwest region for so long, and the conditions in all aspects are relatively mature, and there is a great possibility of success in carrying out reforms there, how can it cause much backlash?" ā€

Ye Haodong pouted, "It is because of the high probability of success that it will cause more people to panic, and then fiercely resist." ā€

One day in March 2017, Hong Tianming, Vice President of the People's Republic of China and General Secretary of the Party of Shancheng Special Administrative Region, delivered a report to the Central Committee on Shancheng's annual financial budget. This is a scientific and rigorous report made by the Shancheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government in light of the actual situation one year after the establishment of the Special Administrative Region and the implementation of the reform measures.

In this budget report, compared with the actual expenditure in 2016, in the total city budget, the expenditure on medical security, social welfare security, education and scientific research has increased significantly, and the maintenance and construction cost of social and public infrastructure has been reduced by 23%, infrastructure construction by 7%, government administrative expenses by 58%, subsidies for public utilities by 16%, subsidies for state-owned enterprises by 72%, and additional daily administrative expenses by 88%!

When the reform achieved initial results, Hong Tianming led the cadres of the organs at all levels and the representatives of the people in the mountain city to give a detailed report to the central government on the changes in the mountain city after the reform of the political system. Long story short, the people are happy, the finances are abundant, and the government agencies are functioning well. Bottom line: reform is feasible!

After Ye Haodong saw the news, he let out a long sigh. "It's going to be fought again."

As Ye Haodong expected, Xie Runze's reform measures have met with a great backlash, although they are still only being piloted in one city. There were voices of opposition among cadres at all levels, from the central to the local, and even worse, Zhang Tianyu, then vice governor of Gui Province, actually jumped out to accuse this move of destroying the country and the party! Zhang Tianyu is Zhang Tianpeng's cousin, a typical official eunuch with vested interests. With those who took the lead, the opposition voices immediately became noisy, and these leading cadres at all levels completely ignored the achievements made in the Shancheng pilot project and simply opposed for the sake of opposition, but their energy was amazing, and their influence spread all over all fields, even including military circles. And these people are surprisingly united.

In the face of the turbulence of the crowd, Xie Runze's response attitude was very resolute, and the reform of the mountain city must be carried out! The collision of the two voices became more and more intense. The pressure on Xie Runze's shoulders is increasing. He had to set his sights on the disputed sea area in southern China. In the recent period, Chen Guanghui, chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army and leader of hawks, has been frequently entering and leaving the residence of the head of state recently.

During the war, everything is subordinated to national interests and the voice of the whole country is the only magic weapon to deal with disputes. As the world's second largest economy and an emerging country accounting for 12% of global GDP. The international environment around China obviously does not meet the needs of the country. Territorial disputes in some sensitive areas remain controversial. Whether it is out of the need to balance domestic contradictions or out of national strategic considerations, a second war within five years is inevitable!

In October 2017, when Xie Runze's first five-year term expired, Huaxia's first and second fully domestically produced medium-sized aircraft carriers, the Gonghe and Huaxia, were incorporated into the South China Sea Fleet. On the day of the official launch, Ye Haodong was invited to participate in the grand ceremony. On the deck of the new aircraft carrier, when Xie Runze was giving a speech, Li Yuanchao walked up to Ye Haodong and whispered: "In the past five years, the state has paid Xinyitang every year to the two industries of oil and mining, which is enough to maintain these two big guys for fifty years. Ye Haodong lowered his head and smiled: "Can I understand this sentence as a decision of mine, and the money saved by the country in the next few years is enough to create a few more big guys like this?" Li Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded seriously. In an instant, Ye Daguan's smiling face was as bright as sunshine.

At the end of the year, the day before New Year's Day, a fishery administration ship with Chinese characteristics encountered a Vietnamese military warship while patrolling the South China Sea. The poorly equipped fishery administration boat brazenly opened fire on the other side at sea. This move came as a surprise to the Vietnamese side, and out of a stress reaction, the Vietnamese warships immediately returned fire.

There have been a few such encounters in the past, where both sides perceived the other as encroaching on their territory, but generally exercised restraint. In particular, the fishery administration ships in China could not fight back and scolded them in the past. Today's initiative to start the war is particularly unusual. It's a pity that the Vietnamese side is so arrogant that they don't realize the hidden crisis. The fishery administration ship was quickly sunk, and the crew on board fell into the sea. The warships of the Vietnamese Navy marched away. Not far away, a huge black nuclear submarine rose up from under the water.

The next day, the incident was reported in depth and extensively by state television, and the whole country was in an uproar, and the voices of the military circles calling for war resounded. Over the next two weeks, the events drew the attention of the nation to the South China Sea. Older historical events have been excavated, the historical contradictions between Vietnam and China have been magnified under the microscope, and the hatred of the people has been completely ignited by these messages and the heroic experiences of several fishery heroes.

A month after the incident, before the traditional Chinese New Year, Xie Runze gave a speech declaring war on Vietnam. Almost less than a second after the end of Xie Runze's speech, the Huaxia military's aircraft carrier group and the land advance force brazenly launched a retaliatory attack on the Vietnamese side.

Internationally, the countries of the Western world, led by the United States, have put pressure on China through the United Nations, calling on both sides to exercise restraint and not allowing the tragedy in India to happen again, and asking the top level of China to listen to the voice of the 80 million Vietnamese people. Around this matter, the two sides launched open and secret battles at various levels. At the joint meeting of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, Chinese Foreign Minister Ke Mengguo asked Cowell Barton, the representative of the United States, in person: Did you hear the voice of the 30 million people in Vietnam in the 60s of the last century? It is the Chinese people who are shedding blood now, and the occupied area is the territory of China, unlike your behavior of traveling thousands of miles to fight against Vietnam, if we resort to force, it will also be a patriotic war!

The foreshadowing for the end is nearing its end.
