Chapter 288: A New Era in the Democratic Federal Republic of China

Spring 1918.

After the domestic situation gradually stabilized, Hu Chuyuan and Emperor Guangxu reached an agreement, and finally let Emperor Guangxu abdicate voluntarily during his tenure.

From the time when Qu Hongji was prime minister, although Qu Hongji himself said that he did not want to end the imperial era during his tenure, he still did a very important thing, that is, he banned the normal activities of the Guangxu Emperor.

During Hu Chuyuan's first term as prime minister, the Guangxu Emperor also often appeared in the Chinese's field of vision, providing disaster relief and sacrificial poverty alleviation, and during Qu Hongji's cabinet, these activities were banned.

Since then, the Guangxu Emperor has basically stayed away from the vision of the Chinese.

After so many years, Guangxu's era name is still in use, but few people really see Guangxu, or see Guangxu's news in the newspaper.

According to the secret agreement between Hu Chuyuan and Guangxu, the central government once compensated Guangxu and Aixin Jueluo royal families with 200 million yuan, and invested 500 million yuan to buy the Forbidden City and other royal court gardens, as well as all the antique cultural relics inside.

The Qing imperial mausoleum is a state property, which is maintained by the central government every year, and allows the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family to worship every year, and Guangxu and his imperial concubine are still buried in the imperial mausoleum after their death.

After the abdication, the Guangxu family lived in the Chengde Summer Resort, and the establishment of the Internal Affairs Office was still retained, and the Chengde Summer Resort would continue to belong to the property of the Aixin Jueluo family.

In addition, Guangxu demanded that each cabinet must have a Manchu cabinet minister, and the three northeastern provinces were assigned to autonomous provinces.

Hu Chuyuan rejected both of these requests.

Although the cabinet has set up ministers of nationalities, they are usually held by Hui and Mongols, and there is certainly nothing to do with the Manchus, and the proportion of Han people in the three northeastern provinces has exceeded 85 percent, while the proportion of Manchu people is less than 10 percent, and it is impossible to establish an autonomous province, let alone a Manchu autonomous province.

In response, Hu promised to set up at least three Manchu autonomous counties and not to do anything more repressive against the Manchus.

On April 7, 1918, Hu Chuyuan and Guangxu reached a secret agreement, and after discussions within the Grand Communal Party, the cabinet and the Congress, it was finally officially announced on May 1, 1918, and Guangxu's abdication ceremony was held.

On May 10, 1918, the National Assembly passed a new bill to officially proclaim the establishment of the Federal Republic of China, collectively referred to as China, taking the Gregorian calendar year, May 10 is the founding commemoration of the founding of the country, the national flag is red, yellow, blue and white, similar to the Spanish flag, the flag is composed of three parallel rectangles, the top and bottom are red, accounting for 1/4 of the flag, the middle is bright yellow, there is a dark blue circle at the golden section point on the left side of the bright yellow rectangle, and nine white seven-pointed stars are printed in the center, and the red and yellow colors symbolize Yan Huang, Yellow also symbolizes the yellow race, blue symbolizes the sea and sky, the nine stars symbolize the land of Kyushu, and the seven-pointed star symbolizes the formation of a multi-ethnic state and the unity of the nation.

Guangxu's abdication and the official end of the Qing Dynasty will inevitably cause great waves in China, and the opposition of the Conservative Party is very strong, but everything is still within the scope of Hu Chuyuan's control.

Without a single Conservative backbone within the army, it would be difficult to guarantee the situation of the National Guard and the governors of the provinces, but the Wehrmacht was almost completely returned to the defense zone, and no one dared to move in disorder.

To be honest, if Hu Chuyuan dies, it will be the biggest thing in China.

As long as he didn't die, the country would not be in chaos, and no one would dare to cause trouble.

On May 25, the National Assembly adopted a new constitution of the republic, which determined that the Federal Republic of China will adopt a parliamentary system of dual heads of state, that is, there are two heads of state at the same time, the president and the prime minister, and the term of office of the head of state is five years, the maximum term of office of the president is three terms, and the maximum term of office of the prime minister is two terms.

The supreme regional leader of the autonomous states of the Federal Republic of China is the Chief Executive, and the supreme regional leader of the overseas provinces is the Governor-General.

The presidential election was held for the first time in 1918 and was voted on by members of Parliament, and the election of the prime minister was held two years after the presidential election, and was voted on by the state legislators, who were in effect the leaders of the majority party and the ruling coalition.

The President is the supreme nominal head of state and has the command of the Navy, Army and Air Force, and the Prime Minister is the supreme leader of the Central Political Cabinet and is responsible for managing the Prime Minister's Office and the country's administrative and foreign affairs.

The state adopts a system of separation of powers, and establishes a central court, which is a lifelong system and is nominated and appointed by the president.

This system is basically the result of mutual consultation between Hu Chuyuan, Lu Guangquan, Liang Qichao, and others; compared with the common parliamentary open cooking system, in China's parliamentary open cooking system, the president holds two very crucial powers -- the right to lead the military and the power to make judicial appointments.

However, the president still does not have the right to veto the legal surname of the prime minister, but the members of parliament vote for no confidence, and when the number of votes of no confidence reaches two-thirds, the prime minister must step down and make a new choice of prime minister.

In addition, China does not adopt a system of direct suffrage and universal suffrage, but promotes the process of boiling and state management in the mode of majority party governance.

In this case, there will be no national elections in China, and the largest elections will be the provincial senator elections, because the situation in China is more complicated, and there is a possibility of division in many regions, and the parliamentary system can very well contain this power.

Even if the elected senator is a representative of the separatist forces, he is unlikely to be a member of the majority of the ruling party and has little influence on the political axe.

As long as the prime minister himself does not have a moral problem, and the country does not encounter a special crisis, there is usually no incentive to surrender in distrust.

After the adoption of the new constitution, Hu Chuyuan officially became the new president, and Lu Guangquan, who was second only to Hu Chuyuan in the Dagong Party, became the premier, while Lu Guangquan gave up his rank of army general.

According to the Constitution, the prime minister is usually elected after two years, and in the case of a provisional election, the interim term must also end two years after the presidential election.

At this time, many things are no longer something that Hu Chuyuan can say alone, and he also doubts whether Lu Guangquan has the ability to be a prime minister, although he still has the ability to let Lu Guangquan fall off the horse and make himself more important Wang Chaoqing and Yang Shijiao take office, but in order to ensure the unity within the Grand Duke Party, he did not do so.

His task has been completed, and for Lu Guangquan, it may be regarded as a ...... It's finally going to be over.

Fortunately, Lu Guangquan still respects Hu Chuyuan very much.

It is his business to formulate the matter of cabinet members, but he still consults with Hu Chuyuan one by one, which may also be no way, more than half of the main military officers who really have the ability to govern in China are still Hu Chuyuan's descendants.

Lu Guangquan's connections are the second, and he is still far from being comparable to Hu Chuyuan.

Hu Chuyuan recommended a large number of new candidates to Lu Guangquan, but the backbone is still the old batch of cabinet ministers, and stability is still the top priority at this time.

After Lu Guangquan re-established the government, Hu Chuyuan, who continued to serve as chairman of the Tagong Party, focused on the training and education of new party members, promoted Qiu Jin to one of the three vice chairmen, and made her the head of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly's Women's Rights Committee.

Through his own strong connections in the Grand Ducal Party, he also arranged more young talents to serve in local positions and train them well, and he also watched these young people.

The key to why China has been so stable for so many years and has not been shocked lies in Hu Chuyuan.

Over the years, he, the helmsman, has cultivated too many talents for China, including administrative, military, economic, scientific and technological ...... In all aspects, he has constantly innovated, allowing groups of young people to emerge in the tide of the times.

He's the pusher.

The driving force behind countless successful people.

Although he was reluctant, he could stay by his side for so long, and Liang Qichao, who had already cultivated a very pure one, was also elected as the mayor of Shanghai this time and started a new journey.

The second eldest of the Hu family, Hu Pinyuan, did not get a good seat, but he was still a senator, serving as the director of the Standing Committee of the Chinese Studies Committee, which was better than nothing, and most of his energy was on collecting antiques.

After playing for so many years, Hu Chuyuan is a little enough, and he basically doesn't play much, only when Hu Pinyuan finds him, he will play it seriously, keep it if he likes it, and continue to let Hu Pinyuan take it back if he doesn't like it.

Hu Weizhong did a very good job in Novosibirsk City, and in order to temper him, Hu Chuyuan used some methods to transfer him to the Warsaw Pact as a special observer for China.

After he has worked for five years, if his results are still very good, Hu Chuyuan wants him to participate in the election of mayor of Shanghai.

China does not have the word congressman, senators are congressmen, China also has representatives, each city is eligible to elect one, and the House of Representatives and the Senate together are the Congress.

However, the House of Representatives has less power and participates only in the legislative process of the National Assembly, and the review of the state budget is held only in the Senate.

Provincial councillors are elected by each prefecture, and because it is a centralized parliamentary system, the governor must be approved by the National Assembly after being elected by the provincial councillors, and if the National Assembly does not approve it, the provincial council must be re-elected, and if it still cannot be passed, the provincial council must be elected.

This procedure is designed to prevent provinces from electing governors with obvious reading propensity.

For a huge country like China, the "National Anti-Secession Law" is definitely the most important, so as soon as Lu Guangquan took office, the first thing he did was to promote the "Anti-Secession Law" to be approved by the National Assembly.

Little by little, little by little, time just slipped by.

For Hu Chuyuan, almost all the things he wants to do in his life have been done.

Of course, there is one thing that he has not yet done.

That's the atomic bomb.

Hu Chuyuan firmly believed that the best way to protect the huge Chinese Mingzhuo Republic that he had worked so hard to establish was force, and the most powerful force was the atomic bomb.

Previously, he had begun to carefully accumulate and at Aurora University, he had been seeking to establish the best physics research center in the world.

During the First World War, he took the opportunity to invite Marie Curie to come to Aurora University to teach and engage in scientific research, and before that, he invited Einstein, Max Planck, the father of quantum mechanics, and Ernest Rutherford, the father of modern nuclear physics, to Aurora University to establish the Planck Institute for Physics.

With the attraction of Max Planck, Albert Einstein and Rutherford, especially during the First World War, Aurora University attracted almost the best physicists in Europe, and with the defeat of Germany, Aurora University continued to absorb the best German chemists on the basis of its original advantages in chemical research.

Now, a large number of the most famous or gifted physicists in the world, such as Bohr, Capitsa, Hertz, Laue, and Lang Zhiwan, are concentrated in Aurora University.

Similarly, among the Chinese, especially among the Chinese researchers at Aurora University, there are many physicists with special talents, among which the most popular ones are Pang Zongming, who proposed quantum field theory and established a quantum field theory model, and Li Ruhua, who proposed the surname of quantum uncertainty and wrote the book "Physical Principles of Quantum Theory".

Proposal for an atomic bomb right now...... It's early.

Hu Chuyuan hopes that the Planck Institute of Physics and Tesla Labs can continue to operate and train enough talents for China to create more technologies.

Ernest Rutherford and Max Planck have trained a large number of physicists and chemists for China and the world at Aurora University, while Tesla Labs is even more peculiar, it is difficult to produce a Nobel Prize winner here, but here, a large number of new technologies appear almost every day.

Almost more than 90% of the key technologies in the world's power industry were born in Tesla Labs, not only high-voltage technology, but also low-voltage electricity and micro-electric technology such as refrigerators, induction cookers, nickel lithium batteries, as well as radio technologies such as radar systems and radios.

Even the microwave oven, Tesla Lab has a model, and the technology that emerges from Tesla Lab is widely used in China and the United States, and the International General Motors Group, Shanghai Yinghua Group, China Power Investment Corporation, and Siemens Group have all relied on this laboratory to quickly rise to become the world's most powerful electrical industry giant.

Corresponding to Tesla Labs is the Marconi Laboratory, which is a laboratory dedicated to the research of communication technology, and Bell Labs in the United States.

The world is changing dramatically, and all change comes from technology.

Technology is changing China, and China is changing the world.

Nikola Tesla's energy is still strong, as the world's most famous expert in science and technology, he is also the richest scientist in the world, but he has long ignored wealth, and continues to use the endless resources of the laboratory to develop a variety of technologies.

In the field of ballistics and communications, he also made a lot of achievements, and the missile project secretly carried out in China was carried out on the basis of the theory he proposed; in atomic physics, he also had a number of research results related to electronics, he was also engaged in the research of wireless telephones, and he was also conducting theoretical research on plasma, and he even put forward the idea of carrier rockets and satellites, and built a design model of the satellite.

There is a kind of person in this world, and he is called a genius.

This kind of person is a genius.

It is difficult for the average person to understand what exactly is going on in their minds.
