In fact, after the revolutionary wave of the Xinhai years, China's new political elite had several thoughts about the political system of the new China that would be established. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSun Wen hoped that after the revolution, the Kuomintang would seize power and rule the country. Soong Jiaoren's ideal was to immediately enter into a democratic constitutional government, implement parliamentary elections, change political parties, and take charge of the cabinet. Yang Du, Liang Qichao, and the constitutionalists hoped for a strong figure to establish a strong government and lead the country out of the crisis. The Communist Progressive Party led by Xiao Mubai, on the other hand, has blazed a new trail, advocated one-party governance, innovated and practiced democratic centralism, and formed a collective leadership system with its own characteristics.
At that time, no one was sure which was superior or inferior, but judging from the development of various forces two years later, it seemed that the Communist Progressive Party was superior.
In fact, it is no wonder that the political elites of this era have the limitations of the times. You must know that the political system advocated by the Communist Progressive Party has been tested by "history" in light of China's basic national conditions and cultural background, and is a system and model that is very suitable for China's development stage and social conditions in the midst of suffering. It not only adapts to the tests and challenges from all aspects at home and abroad, but also helps China to create a miracle of development and governance at this stage. The good and rapid development under the rule of the autonomous government undoubtedly illustrates this point even better.
Although the Western powers have always advocated their so-called "two-party rule" and "separation of powers" very well, they also do not allow the tentacles of other power organs to enter the scope of their legal rights for any of their countries' power organs. Although it is said that it is due to the consideration of mutual checks and balances and constraints between powers, in the decision-making process in reality, while different power organs are unified and cooperative, they still exist more on the side of mutual antagonism, checks and balances, and constraints. Looking at the politics of various countries, in fact, it is not uncommon for them to confront each other, tear each other apart, and tear each other down.
For China, which is under the pressure of the world's largest population and facing the most complicated national conditions in the world, the system and model advocated by the Communist Progressive Party are undoubtedly the best if it wants to truly achieve independence and rapid development. Compared with the political system commonly practiced in Western powers, the model advocated by the Communist Progressive Party is a system innovation and governance reform of profound significance for this era. It not only broke the so-called "institutional superiority" of the West, but also further strengthened China's political self-confidence.
In the course of the development of human civilization, there has never been an absolutely "best", "best" or "optimal" system and model, nor has there been a system or model that has remained unchanged since ancient times. In the real world, those "most suitable" and "most adaptable" systems and models are also constantly adjusting, adapting, and changing. Naturally, the system and model advocated by the Communist Progressive Party are not perfect, and they still need to be constantly improved, perfected, and improved.
In the context of the early 20 th century, because of the limitations of history and other aspects, Song Jiaoren and other Chinese political elites naturally did not know the twists and turns in this.
At this time, Song Jiaoren, who was facing the cold wind and strolling on the riverside avenue, had a bitter taste on his face after thinking of the previous conversation with Xiong Kewu. With the implementation of the responsible cabinet system, can it really be democratic? Can it make China rich and strong? Xiong Kewu didn't dare to ask himself for this answer, so why did he dare to ask himself now.
"Hey" A long sigh came out in Song Jiaoren's throat.
Standing on the riverside, looking at the surging Yangtze River, and looking at the cloud-like white sails on the river, the deepest trace of softness in Song Jiaoren's heart seemed to be touched at this time. The beautiful scenery in front of him, the infinitely beautiful rivers and mountains, made his whole person's expression become a little trance.
"A big river with wide waves
The wind blows the rice and flowers on both sides
My family lives right on the shore
I'm used to hearing the captain's horn
I'm used to seeing the white sails on the ship..."
The faint singing woke up Song Jiaoren, who was in a short trance, the lyrics were very unfamiliar, and the tone was a little unfamiliar, but the melody was very attractive. Although he only heard a few short sentences, for some reason, it made Song Jiaoren feel that this song fully expressed his state of mind at this time, that is, the meaning and mood of this song, and it seemed to have an inexplicable resonance with the scenery by the river at this time. Looking up, Song Jiaoren realized that it was at the embankment not far from him, and at some point, a few young men and women dressed as students and full of youthful atmosphere came. And this song was obviously sung by them.
"This is the beautiful motherland
It's where I grew up
In this vast land
There is a bright scenery everywhere..."
The passionate melody that suddenly turned into a chorus was not in the way in Song Jiaoren's ears, as if it should be like this. Song Jiaoren stopped and listened to the song, which he had never heard before.
"The girl is like a flower
How broad-minded the young man is
In order to break new ground
Awakens the sleeping mountains
Let the river change its appearance..."
The tune that suddenly became gentle, and the sincere, simple, cordial and vivid lyrics made Song Jiaoren so fascinated at this time. Although he has not studied music, he can still feel the infinite love of the author of this song for the motherland and hometown.
"This is the homeland of heroes
It's where I grew up
In this ancient land
There is the power of youth everywhere..."
When the passionate tune came again, in Song Jiaoren's ears, it seemed to be taken for granted, and it was no longer strange. His eyes opened suddenly, and while he couldn't help but applaud this song, Song Jiaoren found that his eyes were full of tears in this short moment.
"Good mountains, good water, good place
All the roads are spacious
Friends came and had good wine
If the jackal comes
It was greeted with a shotgun..."
"This is a strong Motherland
It's where I grew up
In this warm land
There was sunshine of peace everywhere."
For Song Jiaoren, who is worried about the country and the people, and has made countless trips for the fate of this nation, deep in his heart, he naturally does not lack the kind of love for the land under his feet. After the song was sung, Song Jiaoren was already in tears, why did these tears flow? Nature is for the sake of this country, for the suffering that this country has suffered for thousands of years! Finally, after wiping away the tears from his face, Song Jiaoren walked towards the embankment. At this time, he had an urgent hope in his heart that he would know as soon as possible what the name of this song that made him cry after listening to it.
"Hello classmates, I don't know which school you are from?"
The students were very enthusiastic about Song Jiaoren, and they quickly gave answers to his questions, only to hear a round-faced girl say: "Hello, this gentleman, we are all students of Southwestern Polytechnical University. ā
Southwestern Polytechnical University? Song Jiaoren had naturally heard of this engineering university, which was established by the Communist Party of China two years ago and is now famous throughout China, and he nodded and then asked, "Then may I ask, what song did you just sing?" I don't seem to hear it anywhere else in the country. ā
"That's the case, sir, what we just sang is a song called "My Motherland" composed by an artist from the Art Troupe of the General Political Department of the People's Army, although this song has not been written for a long time, but it can be heard on the radio, and we learned it from it not long ago."
Radio? Yes, it seems that I still ignore a lot of things, the self-government has set up a radio station, and it is said that there is a lot of content on the radio. After thanking several students, Song Jiaoren said goodbye and left. At this time, he suddenly felt that whether it was for the sake of the country or the Kuomintang, it was necessary for him to go to Chengdu and have a long talk with Xiao Mubai, the young chairman of the Communist Party.
Fate is so fond of playing tricks, just when Song Jiaoren made up his mind to rush to Chengdu and prepare to have a long talk with Xiao Mubai, Xiao Mubai was hanging a special train, carrying a group of senior generals of the People's Army, along the newly built railway, rushed to Fangcheng Military Port in Guangxi to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the new navy warship.
Compared with the navy of the former Qing Dynasty, the navy of the People's Army today cannot be said to be proud, but the changes that have taken place in this short period of two years are still described by the word earth-shaking.
Since the end of the war in Burma, the People's Army Navy, with the support of the development of the "12.8" plan, has already possessed the battleships "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan", the battlecruiser "Huashan", the heavy cruisers "Chengdu", "Kunming", "Xi'an" and "Nanning", the destroyers "Lancangjiang", "Jinshajiang", "Jialingjiang", "Wujiang" and "Minjiang", the supply ships "Qinghai Lake" and "Dongting Lake", plus the "Xia" and "Shang" class submarines, and several torpedo boats. Including several auxiliary ships, the navy now has a total of more than 50 large and small ships, and the total tonnage has jumped from more than 40,000 tons in the past to more than 200,000 tons now. What the navy is even more looking forward to is another batch of warships that entered service in August, including battleships named "Zhiyuan" and "Jingyuan" and battlecruisers named "Hengshan."
In this way, although the real combat power of the navy is not very good, at least on the surface, its tonnage has directly caught up with the navies of the great powers, and it also has the strength to fight the Japanese navy, a naval power in East Asia.
