The situation in China is changing rapidly, Xue Xiyue's recall case has been approved by the emperor, and two justices who have been inactive have left the Supreme Court in disgrace, and then the emperor appoints two judges directly nominated by Xue Xiyue as justices of the imperial supreme court. The next day, less than four hours after the two new justices were sworn in, Xue Xiyue formally submitted the State-owned Assets Law to the Supreme Court for deliberation.

This was just the beginning, and two days later, another wartime law, the Personal Assets Act, was sent to the rotating justices of the Supreme Court of the Reich. This is a film dedicated to government officials, members of parliament, who collude with or speak for the oligarchic family; As well as a series of wartime laws set up by oligarchic family members, big capitalists, and a series of illegal income, either through monopoly or group monopoly, to make huge profits in the war and make the country difficult to make money!

Wartime bills still had general legal efficiency, differing only from the official acts of the Reich in that after the end of the war, the Reichstag only needed a simple majority vote to veto any wartime bill, whereas formal bills required a two-thirds majority to veto. Thus, as long as wartime bills are not vetoed, there is general legal efficiency at all times. In fact, most of the laws of the empire were made during wartime, initially in wartime, and after the war, the party that was in power during the wartime would win the post-war elections, and the party would make the wartime bills regular by means of a parliamentary vote to ensure that the laws it established during the war could still be guaranteed.

The two shells fired by Xue Xiyue in the first round directly hit the dead spots of all the opposition. The State-Owned Assets Act allowed the imperial government to nationalize more important industries and directly intervene in the production activities of enterprises, thus effectively controlling the cost of government procurement (which itself is government procurement). The Personal Assets Law can fundamentally check the assets of the oligarchic family, and at the same time prevent the oligarchic family from installing its own spokesperson in important state institutions such as parliament, so that the oligarchic family will lose its most important protective umbrella.

Political struggle is a war without gunpowder and without the shadow of swords, but it is also a bloodshed war. A war in which people will lose their lives. The prime minister's weapon is the law, and perhaps the State-owned Assets Law does not pose a threat to individuals, but to a large extent, the Personal Assets Law is directly aimed at individuals. Of course, as all aspects of legislation are carried out one after another, the spearhead will also be more and more aimed at the moths that feed on the blood of the Empire. This struggle does not end with the end of the war, it lasts even much longer than the war!

Tan Renhao has not been very enthusiastic about the domestic political struggle. He felt like a bystander, and in fact, he was a bystander. In this struggle, although both the navy and the army sided with the Prime Minister of the Empire, according to the Imperial Constitution, soldiers could not interfere in government affairs until they had taken off their uniforms. At best, the army is a big stick in the hands of the prime minister, and in most cases, the prime minister does not use the thickest stick, often the police, the gendarmerie. Agents and other thinner sticks will suffice.

At the same time, Tan Renhao also noticed that some cases that had been hastily understood before had been re-opened. For example, the case of the first assassination was reopened and solved again, and as the investigation deepened, the truth of the first assassination case will gradually surface. However, until the end of the war, Xue Xiyue did not announce the results of the investigation, and did not even mention any relevant trial. As for why the prime minister did this, perhaps only the prime minister himself knows.

Most of these are later stories. For Tan Renhao in October, his most important task is to negotiate a 27-year procurement contract with several airports such as Hafei, Shenfei, and Nanfei. The draft of the military budget for 27 years is in mid-October. That is, it was determined soon after the prime minister submitted two wartime bills, and to Tan Renhao's surprise, the military spending of the imperial navy in 27 years was not the 38 billion that Nie Renfeng initially expected, nor the 42 billion that Gan Yongxing hoped to get, but 55 billion, which was much more than everyone expected. Similarly, the army's military budget is much larger than Yan Dingyu expected, reaching 58 billion. Because the appropriation for some secret projects is directly allocated to the army's military expenses, the army's actual military expenses are similar to those of the navy.

In Nie Renfeng's words. The increase in military spending does not mean that the navy's arduous and simple style of work will continue to be maintained. And now it is not the Navy that asks manufacturers to reduce the price of weapons and ammunition, but the manufacturer has taken the initiative to reduce the ex-factory price. Tan Renhao couldn't understand, when did "hard and simple" become a tradition in the navy? This has always been a tradition of the Imperial Army, and for hundreds of years, anyone knows that the Imperial Navy has been almost always an aristocratic army. As for the latter, Tan Renhao still agreed very much, because when he and Gan Yongxing were not in a hurry to negotiate with those manufacturers, almost all the suppliers of the Imperial Navy took the initiative to send people to contact them, hoping to negotiate with the Navy on further reducing the manufacturing and procurement costs of weapons and ammunition.

On October 23, Tan Renhao took the special plane arranged for him by the principal to Harbin. Originally, the meeting was held in Shenyang, but this time it was not only a matter of negotiating with Hafei, but also with representatives of the three major suppliers and hundreds of downstream manufacturers to reduce the cost of naval aircraft. But Tan Renhao finally determined the location in Harbin, which can be regarded as giving Feng Xiangchu face, as far as Tan Renhao's personal feelings are concerned, he feels that Feng Xiangchu is an admirable patriotic businessman, but Shen Fei and Nan Fei do not have a businessman worthy of his admiration.

"General Tan, welcome to you again!" This time, Feng Xiangchu personally came to the airport to greet Tan Renhao.

"Mr. Feng, you are too polite, why do you need to move Mr. Feng in the end?" Tan Renhao also pretended to be polite, he really didn't adapt to this kind of communication between businessmen.

"General Tan is too modest." Feng Xiangchu's gaze fell on the plane behind Tan Renhao, and then showed a look of surprise. "This plane is ......"

Tan Renhao was sure that Feng Xiangchu's surprise was faked. "Mr. Feng is not surprised, this is the marshal's new special plane, but it has not been officially used yet, I will test the plane first, and then let the marshal take it after confirming the safety, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything. I heard that this aircraft is where you made it? ”

"Yes, yes. It is produced by the transport aircraft production line that we only started operating last month, and the marshal can use our aircraft to make special planes, which is the honor of all of us Hafei people! ”

"Mr. Feng, this is that you are too humble, if it weren't for the quality of Hafei's aircraft, would the marshal purchase your aircraft?" Tan Renhao is a pun. At the same time, he laughed, "The marshal also liked this plane very much after seeing it, and said that if the performance is good and safe enough, when the navy has surplus funds, it will replace all our current special aircraft fleet with your Hafei aircraft, which is a big order!" ”

"Of course. Of course, our principle is to produce the best and safest aircraft in the world! Feng Xiangchu also laughed, and at the same time opened the car door, "General Talk, please." Today we have set up a small table, and representatives of several other major manufacturers are also coming. ”

"Don't bother, right?" Tan Renhao had a bit of a headache, as far as he knew, the representatives of those manufacturers were all masters of drinking, and the principle was to make the guests drunk.

"General Tan, don't worry, I have prepared a few bottles of wine for you not to get drunk, but, don't say it!"

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed. He and Feng Xiangchu only had a few meals, and Feng Xiangchu wrote down the "shortcoming" of Tan Renhao's poor drinking. And he also made careful arrangements, obviously, this is an important reason why Feng Xiangchu can succeed.

That night, Shen Fei, Nanfei, and several of the most important downstream manufacturers. and representatives elected by other downstream manufacturers participated in Tan Renhao's reception banquet. Twelve people filled the table. The wine and food are much richer than the last reception banquet, I heard that for this table of wine, Feng Xiangchu also made a special trip to Songjiang to invite two chefs, and they all made Tan Renhao's favorite Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes. As for whether the money for this banquet will be included in the procurement cost of the navy, Tan Renhao doesn't know, if he will, then he is really a little heartbroken, this is eating the navy's military expenses!

At the dinner table, there was still no mention of business. But Tan Renhao obviously felt that the atmosphere this time was completely different from the last time. Even the attitude of the representatives of those manufacturers is completely different. If those people treated Tan Renhao as a stunned young man who could be easily fooled last time, then this time they simply gave him expert-level treatment. At the wine table, Tan Renhao didn't drink much, or even drink, Feng Xiangchu specially ordered the waiter, and all the boiled water poured into Tan Renhao's cup was boiled water. Tan Renhao has also kept a clear head, and at the same time carefully observed the expressions and eyes of those manufacturer representatives, and listened to their conversations. After a few hours, Tan Renhao found some very important things, such as which manufacturers are closer to each other, which people are alienated, and which ones are more honest and those are more treacherous. Anyway, in Tan Renhao's view, these can be used, at least in the next negotiations.

After the dinner, someone suggested going to drink tea and continue chatting, Tan Renhao didn't have such good energy, he had been on the plane for several hours, and he didn't rest during the trip, he had been reading the information of the manufacturers that Gan Yongxing had given him, he just wanted to go back to the Navy Office and get a good night's sleep.

"Talking about the general's tired journey, we don't bother talking about the general." Feng Xiangchu also saw Tan Renhao's tiredness, "I'll send General Tan back to his residence first, you can go to the hotel to continue your entertainment, and the account will be counted on me!" ”

Tan Renhao admired Feng Xiangchu's sleek attitude and insight ability to see through other people's minds, he didn't even say that he wanted to refuse to participate in the "tea party", Feng Xiangchu saw his thoughts, obviously, a businessman who has been in the mall for decades is much more clever in some aspects than Tan Renhao, a general who has been in the army for several years.

"General Tan, are you going back to the Navy Office?"

"Yes, there's a bit of an army smell over there, and it's a habit to live." Tan Renhao nodded, "I'm used to living in the army, and I don't feel comfortable asking us soldiers with thick flesh to sleep on soft beds!" ”

Feng Xiangchu immediately ordered the driver, and then said with a smile: "It's funny to talk about the general, then rest early today, and we will officially start tomorrow." ”

Tan Renhao didn't joke anymore, at least from Feng Xiangchu's words, he knew that those manufacturers were in a hurry.

In the past, the Navy would roughly determine the budget for the next year at the beginning of October each year, which was one month before the official submission of the military budget. After the military budget has been roughly determined, the manufacturer will be contacted to start finalizing the procurement list for the next year. This work will probably continue until the end of October, and sometimes the results will not be available until early November. Then, each manufacturer will arrange the production plan for the next year according to the general procurement list of the Navy, the quantity of raw materials to be purchased, and contact the raw material supplier to prepare for production. It takes a month and a half to two months for all of these things to be arranged. It is also completed at the end of the year, so that in the new year, production can continue without stopping production due to lack of orders or insufficient raw materials.

For large factories such as Hafei, they have a certain reserve of raw materials, which can probably maintain the production needs of about a month. But for the vast majority of downstream manufacturers, especially those who are small in scale and mainly focus on parts supply, they do not have such strong strength and can reserve a large number of raw materials. In addition, almost all of these manufacturers rely on the Navy's orders to start work, and every year, a number of downstream manufacturers with poor production performance, high scrap rate, or expensive are excluded from the Navy's supplier list, thus losing the Navy's orders, and the result is bankruptcy and bankruptcy. Therefore, for these downstream manufacturers, they need the Navy to finalize the purchase order as soon as possible.

These things were told to Tan Renhao by Gan Yongxing, and when he understood why those manufacturers were in such a hurry, Tan Renhao also knew that this was the weight he used to negotiate, and it was the weight to bargain with those manufacturers, and finally get a satisfactory result!
