readx;
At 2 p.m. on November 30, the last regular meeting before the founding ceremony was held in the small conference room of the palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhang Wei spoke first: "Tomorrow there will be a founding ceremony, and there will be a military parade. “
Zheng Daoyou said: "Your Majesty, this time the country name is set as Xia, and some people reflect that it is duplicated with the previous Xia Dynasty, and they are afraid of bad luck, and hope to change the country name to Qin." “
"It doesn't matter, whatever the country name is, there will be people who oppose and support it, Xia, as the first dynasty, will also be the last dynasty, complete a cycle, very auspicious, don't scruple too much. Qin's unification of China has a very great historical achievement, if you use Qin, what will the people in Yan, Zhao, Qi, Lu, Wei, Chu, Yue and other places think? Moreover, the death of the second emperor after Qin's unification of China was even more unlucky and not conducive to unity. “
Chung continued: "Is the representative of Japan allowed to participate in the founding ceremony? “
Zhang Wei thought about it for a while and said: "I don't want to meet the Japanese at the founding ceremony, it's very unlucky, the founding ceremony does not need Japanese representatives to participate, and they can be allowed to visit the military parade." “
"Your Majesty, did you arrange for the Germans or the British to be in the front during the parade?"
Zhang Wei thought, now that he is not afraid of the Western powers, there is no need to curry favor with them, and many of the bad problems of Western countries are used to it, so he said: "The first row in the front can only be us Chinese, my left side is government personnel, and on the right side are military personnel, as for the foreign guests, all are arranged in the second row, and we can't get used to their bad problems, so let the representative of Zhao Erxun of the Great Qing Kingdom be in the center, the British and German representatives are on both sides of Zhao Erxun, and then the representatives of the United States and Russia and other countries, and the Japanese representative is at the bottom." “
"Has Your Majesty chosen your costume for tomorrow?"
"I've chosen everything, it's simple, I chose the Ming Dynasty emperor's crown uniform, and I will wear a military uniform during the military parade, so you don't have to worry about this."
Hua Guoqiang reported on the negotiations with other countries in the morning, and there was no objection to the occupied territories, and the amount of compensation had not yet been negotiated.
After hearing this, Zhang Wei said: "Let's not be in a hurry, you talk slowly, if you can't talk about it, you can drag it out for a few days, and we can achieve our goal as the principle; In addition, we should be tougher when we should be tough, as soon as our side is tough, the Russian Empire will immediately hold back, otherwise they will be annoying, now that you know his weakness, there is a chance that you can summon the representative of the Russian Empire alone, put pressure on him, and let him fully support our conditions, we can coexist peacefully with them in the Northeast, otherwise, the next step will be to take the Russian army in the Northeast; Give the Germans and Americans a little favor and let them help us talk. “
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have always adopted the method of division and disintegration to deal with the great powers, and the contradictions between them are much more serious than what the outside world sees."
Hua Guoqiang also reported on the situation of foreign guests, and many unfamiliar countries have sent representatives and expressed the idea of purchasing warships, and many individuals and organizations have also sent representatives to attend the founding ceremony and military parade.
"As long as they are guests, they must be well entertained, and in the southeast corner of the observation deck on the second floor, they will be assigned to the representatives of individuals and organizations, and they will be listed as international friends groups, so that they can watch the parade together alone; As for the representatives of other countries, it is better to treat them equally, regardless of the size of the country, to show our respect for them, and it is better to have more friends than many enemies; If they want to buy warships, after the parade they can contact the General Staff, no matter what kind of warships they want to buy, we have to meet their requirements, the price is not high, the supply is still timely, this time I hope to play our brand and influence again. When handing over the battleship, you can ask the country that is interested in buying it to participate in the handover ceremony. “
Next is the military side about the parade.
Lu Weimin said into the notebook: "Your Majesty, I want to let Long Tian and the flag bearer serve as the standard-bearer, and you need to give an order." “
"Is it too late? They haven't trained. “
"Your Majesty, it's too late, they don't need special training at all to walk well."
"Then there's no problem, you go to them after the meeting and let them act as flag bearers and flag bearers."
"Your Majesty, I hope that tomorrow the ranks of the troops will be assigned, at least the generals will be customized."
"I blame me for this matter, it has not been implemented, and now I will announce that you, Li Zhaoshui and Chen Dezhi are generals; The special staff officer is unified into the rank of lieutenant general, the senior is the rank of major general, the intermediate level is the rank of colonel, and the junior rank is the rank of major; The division commander has the rank of major general, the brigade commander has the rank of brigadier general, the regiment commander has the rank of colonel, and the battalion commander has the rank of major. In a moment, I will first give you a batch of generals' uniforms, which are divided into two categories: army and navy; The rank mark is the same as in Germany. ”
"Your Majesty, the formation designed this time is incomplete, there is no air force, no female soldiers, it is very monotonous."
"Who said we don't have female soldiers, just don't let them play, do you see these palace maids at my door? They are all good female soldiers, and tomorrow we will let you see the demeanor of our female soldiers. As for the Air Force, it can't be on it now, this can't lead the trend, there are infantry, cavalry, navy, artillery, militia is enough; This time, the main thing is to let them see the level of our troops, as for the weapons exhibition, the current people do not have this kind of awareness. ”
"Your Majesty, I have another suggestion, I feel that the regular army will be renamed the Praetorian Guard, the militia will be renamed the Wehrmacht, and the garrison and mercenaries will be combined in the future, collectively known as the garrison army, and the regular army has so many troops, and there is no name that is very unusual, and the militia is not of high grade."
"Okay, just do what you want."
"Also, Your Majesty, I am not at ease with only one regiment guarding the palace, and I feel that it is safer to guard the palace with at least one brigade or division of troops."
"Okay, tonight I will release 1 division of troops, and in the future, I will call the Royal Forest Army, which will guard the palace, can the military camp in the west live?"
"Tomorrow I will transfer the existing regiment and build a batch of dormitories, which will be enough to accommodate a division of troops."
"Okay, just do it, just let this division maintain law and order around the palace tomorrow. Is there anything else you have to do? ”
Zheng Daoyou said: "Your Majesty, everything has been prepared for a long time, and now there is no time to rectify it." “
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "This is also the truth, but I will be relieved after asking, since there is nothing to do, everyone will go to the busy first, at 7 o'clock this evening, I will have a banquet in the palace, Premier Zheng will invite other elite-level personnel and academician-level scientific research personnel in Beijing to celebrate my housewarming to a new house, after eating and drinking, I will participate in the founding ceremony and military parade tomorrow, and by the way, I will taste the craftsmanship of the palace cabinet." ”
