Chapter 121: The Real Cabinet
After explaining the situation in the military hall clearly, Wang Jundao began to say that the cabinet was the highest administrative organ, and due to the limitations of talent, geography, and other factors, the cabinet temporarily set up departments such as internal affairs, foreign affairs, finance, national defense, commerce, industry, agriculture, transportation, education, civil affairs, justice, public health, and the central bank. ”
At this time, Cui Jingluo asked: "Commander, since you want to separate the military and the administration, why do you want to set up a Ministry of Defense in the cabinet?" ”
Wang Jundao nodded and said, "That's a good question!" To put it simply, the Ministry of National Defense is only responsible for the military's policy, finance, military affairs, public affairs, test evaluation, and other administrative affairs in the military, as well as administrative coordination among various military departments, and does not participate in military affairs such as operational command, tactical deployment, operational planning, strategic guidance, weapons research, ordnance procurement, and military training. The separation of military power and executive power is not a complete separation, it is an organ of the same country, and they are all related to each other, so how can it be completely separated? ”
When the words fell, Cui Jingluo and everyone suddenly realized that the Ministry of National Defense under the cabinet was only a formal civilian department and did not have much real power, which was equivalent to a bridge of communication between the military hall and the cabinet.
Just as Wang Jundao owns, how can the highest organ of a country, even if it is separated, be completely separated? For example, when there is no war, the army's military expenses are basically financed, but in wartime, it is a different matter, it can be captured from other countries through war, or after victory, it can be reparated by other countries.
Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Wang Jundao continued: "The cabinet has a prime minister, a deputy prime minister, a minister and a deputy minister in each department, and the prime minister and deputy prime minister are personally appointed by me, and the ministers and deputy ministers of various departments are proposed by the prime minister and deputy prime minister, and I decide.
With the development in the future, the cabinet will also be the same as the military hall, the establishment of elders, generally seven people, collectively referred to as the cabinet seven ministers, of which the prime minister and deputy prime minister occupy two seats, the remaining five ministers are either the previous prime minister, vice ministers, or from the qualifications, ability, ability and ability of the ministers are elected, the cabinet seven ministers can jointly discuss, make decisions, and implement the country's administrative affairs.
Nowadays, there are many cabinet departments and subordinate agencies of various departments, and it is likely that they will not be able to find suitable talents to hold important positions for the time being, so I decided to nominate them by everyone, and I will finally decide that the principle of appointment is only virtue and merit, and local officials are elected by the local government and the cabinet assessment, and how to elect and evaluate them is handed over to the Ministry of the Interior. The term of office of local officials is three to five years, and after the expiration of their term of office, they cannot continue to serve as local officials, but must be transferred to other regions. ”
Everyone nodded secretly, they had no objection to doing so, it was completely acceptable, Wang Jundao paused, and began to say the legislature Legislative Yuan: "The Legislative Yuan is the highest legislative body, and its duties are to formulate laws, supervise political axes, educate the public, and represent voters. In the current situation, the powers of the Legislative Yuan cannot be excessive, so the Legislative Yuan can only be an action department, temporarily under the management of the Cabinet, but it does not belong to the Cabinet, that is to say, the Cabinet has the power to temporarily manage the Legislative Yuan, but it has no decision-making power, and the Legislative Yuan is only responsible to me. ”
Wang Jundao knows very well that now is not the time to let the Legislative Yuan have too much power, and if the Legislative Yuan is allowed to enact a constitution above all else, then his actions will also be restricted, which will not be conducive to his future development, so he must integrate all the great powers of the military, the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary.
And when the world is settled and China completely rises, the situation will change, in order to prevent future generations, you can consider making the constitution higher than the imperial power and limiting the imperial power.
That is to say, the current Wang Jundao wants to take the dual constitutional monarchy route, of course, he will not be stupid in the future to change the dual constitutional monarchy to a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, let the monarch hand over all the rights, only become a nominal symbol, at least let the monarch retain the right to make military decisions and administrative decisions, otherwise what is the difference between the monarch and the puppet? It's better not to.
After everyone recorded what Wang Jundao said, he slowly stated the functions of the Judicial Yuan: "The Judicial Yuan is the highest judicial organ, in charge of the trial of civil, criminal and administrative litigation and matters related to the punishment of civil servants, the Judicial Yuan, like the Legislative Yuan, is temporarily under the management of the Cabinet, and the specific judicial matters will be carried out by the Ministry of Justice of the Cabinet for the time being. But also directly responsible for me. ”
Wang Jundao has just said several times about unifying the world and pacifying the world, not only did not make everyone feel that he was too ambitious and unrestrained, but made everyone feel that it was taken for granted and justified.
To put it bluntly, the legislature and the judiciary at this stage are actually part of the cabinet, but nominally they are also reading power, which is convenient for separating from the cabinet in the future.
Cui Jingluo, Bai Yuncheng, and Tang Shaoyi also understood that the legislature and judiciary are not important to achieve their realization today, but the important thing is the military hall and the cabinet, for the military hall, of course they will not think about anything, because that is not their field of expertise, so there is only the cabinet.
Although there is only one prime minister, everyone knows that there are so many departments, everyone can at least hold the position of minister or above, and Wang Jundao said that in the future, the cabinet will be elected seven ministers to jointly decide on major administrative matters, which makes them both yearn for and look forward to.
Glancing at everyone, Wang Jundao said with a smile: "Let's discuss the list of cabinet members now, due to the special situation, I will directly appoint it, the first prime minister of the Chinese Imperial Political Axe Cabinet will be Cui Jingluo, due to the complicated situation at this stage, in order to facilitate the handling of affairs, there are two deputy prime ministers, namely Bai Yuncheng and Tang Shaoyi, as for the candidates for the heads of other ministries, we will discuss it again." ”
