Chapter 201: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead into the Future (10)
"We went to Japan to fight? Figure what? "Lei Hu hasn't worked in the Military Commission for a long time, so he still speaks extremely bluntly. As soon as his words fell, the other members of the Military Commission nodded one after another.
China has no special interests in Japan, and trade between China and Japan is quite normal. Perhaps the aspect that differs from the millennia-old Sino-Japanese trade is that Chinese merchants now travel on steamboats. China is now in a state of scarcity, and there are not so many things that can really be dumped on Japan. In addition, the territorial issue of the islands has been resolved, and Wei Ze has no intention of annexing Japan in his future plan, so the members of the Military Commission really do not see what the interests of killing Japan are.
"What has become of Japan is not our question in the first place." Weeser thinks so.
Seeing Wei Ze say this, Lei Hu continued, "Then let's choose at most to sell more weapons to Japan, I see that in this information, the organizational model of the Japanese shogunate is the same as that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty." The system of our Guangfu Army relies on ability to speak, and those who are selected have the ability to speak also on politics. The shogunate also engaged in some Western-style military training and shipbuilding, but the officers of the shogunate were all from old masters. Just like the officers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, without a good background, they can't be officials. On this point, I am not in favor of supporting the shogunate. ”
"And such a thing? I don't think the Sacho Alliance is much better than the shogunate. At most, one and a half pounds and eight taels. Hu Chenghe came out to refute it. If you talk about the background of an officer, there is really no difference between the two sides. The Liberation Army can pat its chest and say that we all rely on our ability to fight. However, Saigo Takamori, Okubo Ritsu, Katsura Kogoro, Takasugi Shinsaku and other core figures of the Sacho Alliance are not from poor backgrounds.
This attitude of raising the bar made the atmosphere in the Military Commission change slightly, and Ke Gongyu said slowly: "Governor, I want to ask your opinion." In the end, I don't want to make trouble, or I want to train my soldiers. If we don't want to make trouble, we don't have to care about what happens in Japan, and if we want to train our troops, then what can we do if we support the shogunate. ”
Ke Gongyu, who was born as a commander of the teaching brigade, is a famous general in the Liberation Army, and the teaching unit is not only a military unit, but also a scientific research unit. The new equipment should be implemented in the teaching brigade, the new tactics should be implemented in the teaching brigade, and the new unit organization model should be implemented in the teaching brigade. In terms of advanced nature and Wei Ze's weight, Ke Gongyu is not under the thunder tiger at all. With such an identity, Ke Gongyu belongs to the category that dares to speak.
And Ke Gongyu is a person who hates crookedness, and he came out to say this kind of thing to see if Wei Zerang didn't let everyone make this contribution. Bringing troops to Japan meant a chance to make a difference. Lei Hu's evaluation is very reasonable, so reasonable that the generals are probably just lieutenant generals. Only the Navy is likely to have a marshal in three or five years in the future. The navy is divided from the army, and it has always been regarded as the army's lineage, and the navy comes out first with the marshal, and the army certainly does not have a taste in its heart. If the army wants to produce a marshal first, then it has to fight.
Everyone is an old brother, who doesn't understand whom. Ke Gongyu picked out the words clearly, and there was no need to waste his tongue on the rest of the things. Many people looked at Wei Ze and expected Wei Ze to give a result.
Things came to this point, and Wei Ze simply talked bitterly about his philosophy again, "Fighting Japan is not a problem at all, and I don't care what kind of trouble Japan has made this time." I'm thinking about our internal problems. Comrades, I would like to talk about a question in the army, what is strong and what is weak. What is the relationship between strength and weakness and good and evil? Where is the strength of the Liberation Army, and where is this powerful truth. ”
The reason for the recovery of the strong army is actually very simple, there is Wei Ze in the system, and there is industrialization promoted by Wei Ze in the equipment. In every sense of the word, this is intrinsically powerful. There is only one question, whether the Liberation Army can recognize the real reason for such a powerful force. Wei Ze can clearly understand this, because Wei Ze has seen far more powerful than the current power, and it is a hundred times stronger. But how much the leaders of the Liberation Army have recognized, this undoubtedly does not make Wei Ze optimistic.
After talking about the material conditions and organizational model, Wei Ze expressed the biggest worry in his heart, "The most powerful thing about our Guangfu Army is that we are an army that stresses politics, and the Guangfu Army completely accepts the leadership of the Guangfu Party. And we, the Liberation Party, have our own political philosophy. I wanted to send troops to Japan, but I didn't dare to send troops to Japan. Because in Japan, everyone will see a lot of extremely feudal things, if someone thinks that feudal is good, Lao Tzu is high and respected. That's the end of it, and the traditions of our Liberation Army will be ruined! ”
"Dudu, you look down on people!" Hu Chenghe said with a smile, he originally listened to Wei Ze's preaching with a straight face, but after listening to the big truth, he finally understood that the reason why Wei Ze didn't want to send troops was that he was afraid that everyone would learn badly, and the pressure in his heart dissipated without a trace. "Governor, you talk every day, every year, our Liberation Army is the people's army. We, the Liberation Army, built roads, mines, railways, reservoirs, and embankments in the country. How many good things have been done for the benefit of the country and the people, no one has said anything. How can you go out of the country and learn badly? I don't believe it. ”
The people who can get mixed up to this level may not know much and read very little, but none of them are fools. As soon as Hu Chenghe finished speaking, Liang Changtai shouted, "Governor, going abroad to fight is going abroad to fight, and we must follow Governor Dou closely." No betrayal. ”
More than ten years ago, Liang Changtai's younger brother was a water thief, robbed the ship of the Guangfu Army who had just arrived in Wuzhou, and was killed after being caught. At that time, Liang Changtai also asked for merit in exchange for his brother's life, and was finally sent to the military academy for training. After that, Liang Changtai's attitude was only one, listen to Wei Ze's words and follow the party. Now he is in charge of artillery combat training, and he is also a well-known cadre in the technical arms of the army.
After Liang Changtai opened his mouth, everyone understood Wei Ze's thoughts, that is, Wei Ze's political concept should not be openly opposed. After all, these soldiers are soldiers, and everyone is not interested in getting involved in politics. Whatever Wei Ze said about the things on the political zhì, everyone followed along.
After this statement came out, Wei Ze was really relieved, the army is the magic weapon in his hands, if the army is unstable, the government will be unstable. No matter how you look at it, fierce class contradictions are bound to emerge in rapidly industrializing China, and if the army dares to get involved at that time, it will immediately be an uncontrollable disaster. On the other hand, as long as Wei Ze still has a firm grip on the army, no one will really dare to resist any of his political ideas. Rebels can't stand up to the army.
Now that the army has already expressed its position, Wei Ze cannot but temporarily meet the needs of the army, and fighting abroad itself means a lot of experience. This is not a bad thing for the future expansion of iron and blood.
Of course, the three sessions are about to be held at this time. In 1867, the National People's Congress officially debuted. Representatives of workers and peasants from all over the country came to Beijing one after another, and these people actually came from the Guangfu Army, or at least had a very close relationship with the Guangfu Army. Under no circumstances, the grassroots government will not select some people who have nothing to do with the Liberation Army to attend such an important meeting.
The fact is also that the NPC session is almost a sea of 65-style military uniforms. Compared with the previous military uniforms of the 65 military uniforms, the exaggerated part was canceled, and a single series of regular clothes and dresses were adopted; In response to the concept of equality between officers and soldiers, the difference between cadres and soldiers should be narrowed. The same red five-star and red hat badge are all worn in cloth military uniforms, diluting the concept of hierarchy. Army grass green; Navy dark gray.
Of course, there are also slightly modern elements to this, such as the octagonal hat, which has been retained. There are many types of military shoes, and liberation shoes that are more suitable for harsh environments are used during battles, and there are several kinds of sandals and military boots with rubber soles in them on weekdays.
Most of the deputies to the National People's Congress had never seen Wei Ze, and when Wei Ze stepped onto the rostrum, the whispers in the venue immediately disappeared, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Wei Ze, and there was silence in the venue of thousands of people.
"Hello delegates!" Wei Ze said loudly, "I think you have all seen the first discussion of the National People's Congress, right? We're going to vote here to see if you agree to this bill. ”
The first discussion bill was drafted by Wei Ze, and the people's congress, as the state power organ of the Republic of China, should cede the supreme legislative, executive, and judicial powers to Wei Ze personally. Once this resolution is passed, unless the people's congress makes a decision to overturn it, Weeser will have unshakable supreme power in legal theory. As long as Weeser wanted to, he could become a real "dictator".
Of course, the deputies were aware of the draft and had seen it before they had left for Nanjing. According to the rules, the people's congresses at the county, government, and provincial levels must vote on this. In the end, what is gathered here theoretically represents the will of all the people in the control area of the Republic of China.
As soon as Wei Ze's voice fell, a loud shout broke out from among the delegates, "Long live my emperor!" Long live our emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
The other delegates did not pause, and all of them shouted the same voice, "Long live my emperor!" Long live our emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
The voices of the delegates are full of passion, and the faces of the delegates are also full of sincerity and full affection. The peasants were given land and a supposedly permanent state ownership of land. Most of the workers' representatives were from military backgrounds, and they followed Wei Ze and the Guangfu Party to the Guangfu Army before they went from the countryside to the cities. Entered the factory.
The thirst for land has been satisfied, and the hunger in life has finally come to an end. For these people, they really couldn't find any reason to oppose Weeser becoming emperor. At this time, they didn't understand at all, if they didn't put such huge power in the hands of Wei Ze, who overthrew the Manchu Qing and founded the People's Dynasty, then who should give such power to.
"Long live our emperor! Long live our emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! The sound was like a sea tide, like a storm, coming towards Wei Ze from the audience. Wei Ze was unexpectedly calm in his heart, "I hope this is just the beginning, and I can lead China into a new era!" ”
It took a while for the excited deputies to quiet down for a while under the orders of the staff, and the first day of discussion included the constitution drafted by Weizer in addition to the motion on the transition of power. These are easy to get through. At the end of the first day, Wei Ze, who was elected president of the country, solemnly swore to thousands of delegates under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, "I, Wei Ze." Be loyal to the motherland, be loyal to the people, fulfill the obligations stipulated in the Constitution, and exercise the powers conferred by the Constitution. Serve the working people wholeheartedly! Death! ”
Simple rituals, simple vows, but with a strong sense of sacredness. The adult representatives may not care a lot, but they care very much about seeing such a high person solemnly swearing. Just after the oath was over, all the delegates who stood up broke out in an earth-shattering cheer again, "Long live my emperor!" Long live our emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
