When he got home, it was already the middle of the night, and Tan Renhao felt that his head hurt a lot, and he thought about too many questions, which made him feel that his head was full of questions and shock. He wanted to go to bed early, but when he noticed that the light in the study was still on, he knew that the person who was still in the study at this time must be Liao Hanxiang.

Liao Hanxiang raised his head, and he was also a little surprised when he saw Tan Renhao. "Coming back so soon?"

"I arrived in the morning, went directly to the headquarters with the chief of staff, and I didn't come back until now." Tan Renhao went to pour himself a glass of white water, he didn't make tea, he was afraid that after drinking tea, he wouldn't be able to sleep again.

"Everything is done?" Liao Hanxiang took off his glasses and walked over.

"It's early, it's tricky, it's not something we can solve, maybe the principal will hand this matter over to the prime minister and let the prime minister have a headache."

Liao Hanxiang didn't rush to ask, he sat down first, and then took out a cigarette.

"I talked to Feng Xiangchu, and Gan Yongxing is in the same situation, it is not the aircraft factory and shipyard that control the price, but other people." Tan Renhao also sat down, "After reading the materials for an afternoon, I have a preliminary understanding of the industrial situation of the empire. What I don't understand a little is, what exactly is the content of that bill that Prime Minister at the end of '21? ”

Liao Hanxiang's gaze immediately became solemn, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "You also found the crux of the problem?" ”

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, although up to now, he was still guessing, but he was sure that his guess would not be wrong.

"In the past few days, I have also been reading relevant materials. I hadn't noticed it before, but in connection with what you started talking about, I think the problem is with that bill. Liao Hanxiang picked up a cigarette, "The prime minister was assassinated less than a month before he was ready to take this wartime bill to the Supreme Court. Is this a coincidence? ”

Tan Renhao didn't say anything, he was not sluggish, and he had long realized that what he was exposed to was political struggle, and it could even be said that it was political conspiracy.

"If it's really a coincidence, then many of the policies and measures taken by the prime minister after he returned to power cannot be explained." Liao Hanxiang sneered. "At the beginning, I even doubted Zong Hanqin's internal minister, but now I feel that Zong Hanqin is actually not the key to the problem."

"Zong Hanqin?" Tan Renhao looked at his father-in-law. He hasn't connected these things to the Prime Minister yet.

"If you think about it, if the prime minister falls, who will be the direct beneficiary? Also, is it a coincidence that after the prime minister returned to power, the status of the prime minister plummeted, and even withdrew from the top decision-making circle? ”

Tan Renhao shook his head. When Liao Hanxiang said this, he also felt that there was a problem.

"If the Prime Minister is really the mastermind, will the Prime Minister have any chance of recovery? Even if there is, the Prime Minister can continue to govern. We will not return power to the Prime Minister. Liao Hanxiang lit a cigarette.

"However, the Prime Minister should reward the Prime Minister for this, rather than sending him to the cold afterwards."

"If the Prime Minister really should do this from a personal point of view, as far as we know, is the Prime Minister the kind of person who talks about personal feelings? At least when it comes to the fundamental interests of the Empire, the Prime Minister is absolutely iron-faced and selfless, otherwise, he would not have so many enemies. Liao Hanxiang slowly exhaled the tobacco. Therefore, the only explanation for the Minister of Interior being shelved is. Many of the policies he made during his reign as an agent made the prime minister feel very dissatisfied, and it can even be said that he deviated from the overall direction of the prime minister's administration. Therefore, the Prime Minister believes that the Prime Minister is no longer suitable to manage the internal affairs of the Empire, so he will be sent to the cold palace, rather than related to the assassination of the Prime Minister. ”

Tan Renhao nodded slightly, this explanation is also reasonable. At least in his understanding, the prime minister is definitely the kind of selfless person with an iron face.

"After ruling out the suspicion of internal ministers, then there is only one possibility." Liao Hanxiang did not continue, "I would also like to know the specific content of the bill that the Prime Minister prepared at the beginning. Perhaps, someone already knew, and they knew about it for a long time, and it was because of this bill that it eventually led to the things that happened later, and also caused the Prime Minister to change the direction of his administration after he returned to power. And in the end, he targeted those who wanted his life and wanted to bring it down. Or the ones who will bring down the empire! ”

"So why doesn't the Prime Minister submit this bill again?"

"The time is not ripe." Liao Hanxiang touched the corner of his forehead, "During the prime minister's departure, the Supreme Court changed two justices, and one of these two people is clearly against the prime minister, maybe a certain big family, or the spokesperson of a certain big family." And the other one is also a wall-riding faction. Any wartime bill submitted by the Prime Minister must be upheld by the Supreme Court before it can be formally implemented. At present, only four justices of the Supreme Court are staunchly supportive of the prime minister, along with three opponents and two wall-ridden. If the Prime Minister submits any bill to crack down on the oligarchic families at this time, it will be delayed for a long time, and the contents of the bill will be leaked, and the oligarchic families will have time to adjust their industries and deal with the new bill, and even if the bill is passed, it will not have much effect. Therefore, the prime minister will not rush to introduce the bill, but will first settle the Supreme Court. ”

Tan Renhao suddenly understood that the prime minister tried to change the structure of the Supreme Court, and the ultimate goal was to get his wartime bill passed, not just to put pressure on the emperor or anyone else. Nor is it to use the Supreme Court to strengthen his position.

"It's going to be an incredibly tough fight, but the prime minister doesn't have much time left." Liao Hanxiang's expression sank, "The focus now is not on the battle on the battlefield, nor on the military spending of the navy and the army, let alone the procurement of weapons and equipment. The real focus is on the Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister has to find a way to get a judge who supports him to the Supreme Court. If the Prime Minister does not complete this step by the end of this year, it will inevitably affect the entire war situation, and this is exactly what our enemies want to see. Therefore, the Prime Minister will certainly act soon, and decisively, to make a final showdown with those oligarchic families! ”

"And what will the Prime Minister do?"

"I don't know, I'm not the prime minister. And I'm not going to be prime minister. Liao Hanxiang laughed, "However, we can roughly analyze it." The Prime Minister has just experienced a crisis of mistrust, and we have won several big battles on the battlefield, which has affected the two Wall Riders in the Supreme Court, so the Prime Minister does not need to worry about his personal problems. Right now. The prime minister has to put pressure on the emperor, and then, according to the prescribed procedure, the cabinet will file a motion of no confidence in one or two justices, so the prime minister must first have the support of two-thirds of the cabinet members. The problem shouldn't be too big, at least for now. The vast majority of cabinet members are supported by the prime minister. Then it would be time to put pressure on the emperor, and if the emperor accepted the no-confidence motion, one or two justices would be removed. Subsequently. The Cabinet and the War Parliament will each propose two new candidates for justice, with the final result being one for each of the Cabinet and the War Parliament. That would ensure that at least one justice who explicitly supports the Prime Minister will enter the Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister will be able to win the fight with the support of five Supreme Justices. ”

"The key is whether the emperor will accept the no-confidence motion submitted by the cabinet."

"Yes, that's the most important thing. On this issue, the emperor would consult with the representatives of the main parties in the warriors' council, and the wartime cabinet would even propose a new list of recalls. Liao Hanxiang nodded slightly, and while thinking, he said, "Therefore." The Prime Minister is likely to propose the removal of two justices who oppose him first, and the wartime parliament will propose the removal of two justices who support the Prime Minister, and only a maximum of two justices at a time. There are two possible compromises, one for each side to remove one justice, and the other for the two wall-riding justices. The Prime Minister will have to fight for the latter, and the Warriors Council will fight for the former. As for what kind of compromise the emperor will adopt in the end. It will depend on the outcome of the struggle between the two sides. ”

"What if the wartime parliament first raises a motion of no confidence?"

"A case of no confidence in the justice?" Liao Hanxiang laughed, "Then the prime minister will undoubtedly win." If the wartime parliament first raises a motion of no confidence to remove the two justices who support the prime minister, then the prime minister has a good chance of convincing the two justices who are riding the wall, and then directly raises a motion of no confidence in the wartime parliament, and as a result, at least six justices support the prime minister, so that the wartime parliament will be collectively removed and the warriors council will be re-elected from among the members, so that the prime minister will win a big victory. In this fight. In wartime, parliament was the most disadvantageous party, and therefore would not have made a proposal to remove the justices in the first place. They can only wait for the prime minister to make the first move, and then they can barely cope with it, and fight for the other half of hope. ”

Tan Renhao thought about it carefully and understood what Liao Hanxiang meant. Because after the no-confidence in the prime minister was outlawed, the attitude of the two justices who rode the wall has been shaken. If the wartime parliament were to raise a motion of no confidence in the justices, the prime minister could use the proposal to amend the recall list as a threat, or as a bargain for cooperation, to get the two wall-riding justices to support the prime minister, and the prime minister would return for removing the wartime parliament. As long as the wartime parliament is outlawed and the wartime parliament is restructured, the prime minister will hopefully gain control of the wartime parliament, and no opposition will try to prevent the prime minister from pursuing the wartime bills.

Of course, this is in fact a struggle against the constraints of the imperial political system, where both sides are well aware of what they can do, what trouble they should avoid, and what opportunities they should strive for. Those members of the wartime parliament are not stupid people, and naturally they will not kill themselves.

"Actually, we don't have to worry about anything." Liao Hanxiang sighed, "At least the prime minister knows what he should do now." Also, when did the marshal ask you to come over and debrief the situation? ”

"Probably tomorrow, he didn't look for me today, and the chief of staff seems to be busy with his own business."

"After this is over, I will ask you to return to Guam and take command of the attack on the Hawaiian Islands." Liao Hanxiang said this very decisively, "Now the things you are exposed to are not something you can deal with, so you had better hide as far as you can." ”

"Dad, I'm just a little soldier."

"Creeps are objects that can be sacrificed." Liao Hanxiang didn't give Tan Renhao any chance to argue, "You are my son-in-law, but I have always treated you as my own son." Ren Hao, I know that you are not an ordinary general, and you will not be just an ordinary general. But how old are you? Not yet 30 years old, do you think you're mature enough? Do you think your foundation is strong enough? Do you think you'll be able to withstand those big storms? In 20 years, I will not stand in your way, but for now, I hope you will listen to my advice and don't get involved in these things, it's not something you can deal with, it's not something you can solve. ”

Tan Renhao nodded, he didn't argue anymore, in fact, he himself knew that he was not the one to participate in political activities.

"Explain what you are doing as soon as possible, and then leave Zhoushan, at least on the front line, there will be no problems to bother you." Liao Hanxiang hesitated for a moment, "Also, even if the marshal asks you to do something else, you have to think twice before you act, and don't agree easily." ”

"But ......"

"I know that you have always respected the marshal, and you have always loved the marshal, but you must be clear about one thing. On this battlefield, you can be sacrificed, but a marshal cannot be sacrificed. I don't mean anything else, I just want you to understand that you are too young now, and there are countless young generals like you who can take your place, therefore, you are not unique, and you are not irreplaceable, understand? ”

Tan Renhao nodded again, he was still very clear about this, even if he was recognized as the number one fleet commander of the navy, but now there were several fleet commanders who could replace him, he was no longer unique.

"Don't think too much about it, go to bed early." Liao Hanxiang stood up, "If it's okay, accompany me to Zhoushan tomorrow." ”

"That depends on the situation, if the principal comes to me tomorrow." Tan Renhao smiled bitterly, "Try your best, as long as I have the opportunity, I will find a way to slip away." ”

Liao Hanxiang nodded with satisfaction, at least his son-in-law is not stupid.
