Chapter 324: Prerequisites for Socialism

In the military offensive of modern warfare, it is necessary to adhere to two principles first: first, to maintain a reliable and effective surname for rear supplies, that is, to annihilate enemy military units that can threaten one's own logistical supply, so as to ensure that one's own side can effectively control and occupy them in real time; The second is to annihilate the enemy army.

The Soviet Union retained three fronts on the Eastern Front, namely the Ural Front, the Kazan Front and the Kazakh Front, and the Ural Front was stationed in the Yekaterinburg to Chelyabinsk region, which belonged to the main elite units of the Soviet Red Army, well-equipped, and relied on the entire Ural Mountains to build huge and strong Ural fortifications, claiming to be able to resist the attack of millions of troops.

The Kazan Front is deployed in the region from Kazan, Ufa to Samara, which is the most important military industrial manufacturing area of the Soviet Union at this stage, such as the famous Ufa Artillery Arsenal, the Kazan Aircraft Complex, and the Samara Red Star Machinery Complex, especially the truck and artillery manufacturing industry in the Ufa region, which is extremely crucial for the Soviet Union.

The Kazakh Front had the largest garrison area, from Tyumen to Kostanay, and the southernmost garrison area reached the Balkhash region, and its main role was to protect the Soviet supply in Central Asia, where the Soviet Union had a large number of mineral resources, including tungsten ore, manganese ore, and oil.

According to the thunderous battle plan planned by Wei Lihuang, the imperial northern coalition army was divided into two parts, the main force was concentrated in the north, and the southern front troops were organized into the Central Asian Army and the Northwest Army, which entered the Kazakhstan region from Tashkent and Almaty.

In fact, the main force of the Central Asian Group Army is the Iranian Central Group Army that Chen Wu has prepared in Iran as the main body, and the rest has transferred a number of Chinese garrison divisions and brigades from the Central Asian region of the Asian League, and the Northwest Group Army has been formed with a number of main forces of the Almaty Military Region and the Lanzhou Military Region, with a total strength of about 750,000 troops, which is the main force for the liberation of Kazakhstan and is responsible for annihilating the Kazakh Front.

The main forces of the Northern Coalition Army are the Novosibirsk Army, the Kyzyl Army, the Mongolian-Altai Army, the Central Second Army, the Central Fifth Army, the Central Sixth Army, the Central Seventh Army, and the Central Eighth Army, with a total strength of 2.8 million men.

The Mongol-Altai Army Group was deployed in the Seguin area north of Balkhash and was not immediately dispatched as a support force, and the deployment of the army group was seriously behind the entire battle plan, which meant that the main force of the Northern Coalition Army was seven army groups with a total strength of 2.2 million.

When the Central Second Army was transferred from the Korean battlefield to the Novosibirsk Military District, the group army once created a crazy speed of more than 200 kilometers per march on average, and it was this astonishing marching speed that enabled Wei Lihuang's Thunder Plan to be effectively implemented.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Soviet Red Army did not have a short time to launch a counterattack on the Eastern Front, Wei Lihuang first took advantage of his speed advantage to dispatch a number of group armies to contain the Zhukov Army, the Kazakh Front, and the Ural Front of the Soviet Red Army, and concentrated elite forces to annihilate the Kazan Front in the rear of the Soviet Eastern Front with lightning speed.

The law on which it succeeded was an unconventional pace of advance that was unimaginable to the Soviet Red Army, and an unconventional way of warfare.

Wei Lihuang used the Novosibirsk Army and the Kyzyl Army of the Northern Coalition Army to drag the rear to contain the Soviet Kazan Front, the Sixth and Seventh Armies to contain the Soviet Zhukov's three front armies, and the Eighth Army to seize the area from Orenburg to Kostanay and the area north of the Caspian Sea, which could not only prevent the Soviet Kazakh Front from retreating, but also have the role of supporting the northern and western fronts, and the Central Second Army and the Fifth Army as the main force to attack the defenseless Soviet Kazan Front.

In this series of military deployments and operational plans, Wei Lihuang has a great abnormality, that is, he does not strictly guarantee his logistical supply routes, and his troop dispatch looks like a three-headed snake; once a famous commander of the Soviet Red Army such as Zhukov decides to counterattack, as long as the two front armies are concentrated to annihilate Zhao Tingzhu and Wei Lihuang's Eighth Group Army, the four group armies of the Northern Coalition Army will be in a state of dispersion and isolation, which will be like drowning in themselves.

This involves a new revolution in military affairs, that is, air warfare.

Although 1/3 of the main force of the Imperial Air Force failed to arrive at the Northern Coalition before the war as planned, Wei Lihuang still had air supremacy in the eastern theater of the Soviet Union, and at the beginning of the Thunder Plan, the Imperial Missile Strategic Army cooperated with the Imperial Air Force and the Army Rocket Artillery Brigade to carry out a comprehensive attack on the Soviet air bases, airfields, and radar stations on the Eastern Front to contain the Soviet Air Force. Each squadron maintains at least 4-6 transport aircraft, which is four to six times larger than in peacetime.

On average, Wei Lihuang can deliver more than 20,000 tons of supplies to the front line through the Air Force Transport Division every day.

This unprecedentedly strong figure made Wei Lihuang dare to make a crazy decision, that is, to ignore the problem of transportation support on the middle line, and directly send the main force deep behind enemy lines to annihilate the rear forces of the Soviet Red Army, and within a week after the occupation of Kazan by the Central Second Army, the empire sent 3 regular infantry divisions and 1400 light howitzers to Kazan to reinforce the front-line troops through more than 1,150 military transport aircraft of 4 air transport divisions.

For such an offensive of the Northern Alliance, the Soviet Red Army has about a month to implement countermeasures, if the Soviet Union has enough reserves, it will be able to encircle and annihilate Wei Lihuang's Second Army within this month, but the Soviet Red Army does not have such military strength, with the defeat of the Soviet Union in Kazakhstan, before the arrival of December, the empire quickly captured the entire Kazakh region with large-scale mechanized operations, except for the Ural Front, which was finally surrounded by layers, The Soviet Red Army's forces on the eastern side of the Volga had been routed by the Imperial Army.

Sudden war, bizarre and unconventional strategic offensive deployments, lightning-fast advances of massive mechanized troops, massive air transports and air raids...... The Soviets lost half of their territory in the east within a month, losing more than 1.4 million troops, while more than 80 divisions of about 770,000 troops were besieged on the Ural Line.

When the news reached home, the whole country rejoiced.

The "Far East Daily" and other national media outlets have published news reports under the headline "Annihilating Millions of Enemies and Expanding Territory of 17 Million Square Kilometers", and the entire empire is naturally boiling over it, and the crisis of confidence in Gu Weijun's cabinet has also been resolved, and the support rate of the central cabinet has reached a new peak.

The 35th Mountain Division of the Imperial Army stationed in the Lhasa area took the opportunity to move south to Sikkim and Boudan areas, and the British did not raise any objection to this.

Compared to Nazi Germany, China posed a more serious threat to the British Empire, and Britain could not fight back at all, because China was too strong, and in the event of a war between China and Britain, China could easily take the British colonies on the South Asian continent and expel Britain from Asia completely.

To put it mildly, China can get Britain out of Africa and anywhere in the world.

In the face of aggressive China, the British Empire has no choice but to endure and strive for more peace talks, and if it does not hesitate to tear its face and finally fight, it will definitely suffer in the end.

On December 15, the Reich launched a general offensive against the Soviet Ural Front, and after four days of decisive battle, destroyed the only remaining Soviet forces in the eastern Volga River, and at the same time deployed three army groups in the eastern Volga River.

The Soviet Union was only one step away from its demise, and if Moscow was lost, the Soviet empire, which had been briefly glorious, would disappear from the history of mankind completely.

The Reich sent a special envoy to Berlin to have close consultations with Nazi Germany, to reach an agreement on the spheres of influence and occupied areas of the two sides, and to make a final effort for the Sino-German joint attack on the Soviet Union, Stalin and Zhukov knew very well that the time for China and Germany to reach an agreement on a secret treaty would be very short, and once this secret agreement was reached, under the joint attack of China and Germany, the Soviet Union would be completely destroyed, and it was under this premise that Stalin continued to hope that Germany would secretly negotiate an armistice treaty, and hoped to use the assistance of Britain, Germany, France and other countries to resist China's westward advance. At the same time, let Zhukov withdraw the three front armies from the Stalingrad direction, withdraw to Tambov and join the Moscow Front.

Once the negotiations broke down, all the Soviet Union could do was to use the last of these forces to fight the final decisive battle with China and Germany.

…… When the news of the victory in the Great War was transmitted back to China, Emperor Song Biao was not particularly happy about this, unlike others, with his understanding of modern warfare, he believed from the beginning that there was basically no possibility of defeat in this war, and there was only a complete victory.

During this time, he devoted all his energies to the study of Edward. Bernstein's "The Prerequisites for Socialism" studied the ideological system of socialism, and met with Chen Henian, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, very confidentially, to discuss and study the theory of socialism.

Chen Henian mentioned the Mohist spirit of "love and love" in the Warring States Period in the process of explaining the sinicization of socialism, which attracted the attention of Song Biao, and specially arranged for the Central Academy of Social Sciences to make a systematic research report on this.

On this afternoon, Emperor Song Biao invited Gu Weijun, Wang Zhaoming, and Chen Jin to the Xuanzheng Garden of the Central Palace, along with Cai Yuanpei and Tang Shaoyi, who have been retired for many years.

These five people are representatives of the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people in the Guangfu Party, except for Cai Yuanpei, the other four people's factions are very strong, especially the infighting between the two factions of Gu and Wang in these years is very exciting.

It's cold.

There was a light snow in Yanjing City yesterday, and there was still snow left in the rockery maple forest of Xuanzheng Garden, and a thin layer was hidden on the earth and the eaves of the buildings.

Xuanzheng Garden has a floor heating system, and it is still warm as spring.

Emperor Song Biao still wore a bright yellow dress, sat at the desk in the Xuanzheng Garden, and Cai Yuanpei and Tang Shaoyi, who arrived one step earlier, chatted about their many years of interesting things after retirement.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for some years, and Song Biao put down other affairs in the morning, and the three of them plus Crown Prince Yuhua, who had just returned to Beijing, had a light meal together and accompanied Tang Shaoyi to have two drinks.

After the luncheon, Song Biao talked with them for about half an hour, and Gu Weijun, Wang Zhaoming and Chen Jin also went to the Xuanzheng Garden to ask for a meeting.

Song Biao glanced at the three of them, then at Cai Yuanpei and Tang Shaoyi, and felt quite emotional, and then asked people to sit and sit with him in the study of Xuanzheng Garden.

At this moment, these five people still did not know why the emperor had invited them over.

After they sat down, Song Biao sighed with them: "You just represent the three generations of the old, middle and young people of the Guangfu Party, and represent the past, present and future of the Guangfu Party. However, as many people say now, the Liberation Party is indeed dying, and the Liberation Revolution advocated in the past has gradually become the yellow light of yesterday, so I think you can't lie on the merits and wait to be buried in history. During this time, I have been researching Edward. Bernstein's "The Prerequisites for Socialism", which studies the ideas and policies of socialism, generally speaking, I think that this road is still very close to the national policy of our Liberation Party in recent years, and it is also more suitable for our national conditions. Some time ago, I also met and talked with Chen Henian, chairman of the SPD, and it stands to reason that in the political activities of the empire, as the emperor, I am neutral from the outside world, but for the sake of the long-term stability and prosperity of the empire, as well as my personal relations with all of you, I propose that the Liberation Party merge with the Chinese Socialist Party and work together to implement a clearer line of Chinese-style socialism that is more suitable for China after reform and reform. ”

Yes!

The five people present were in such a surprised mood at the moment, how could they have thought that the emperor had arranged for them to meet together to discuss this matter.

For a moment, Tang Shaoyi and the five of them couldn't come back to their senses, and they didn't know how to answer the emperor.

Emperor Song Biao had long expected them to do this, and he was very patient to wait for their reply, but he had already made up his mind, and there was no room for maneuver in this matter, and after a long period of consideration, he had already decided that this was the only strategy to stabilize the internal affairs of the empire for a long time.

If a country wants to be stable, the prime minister must achieve political stability, and the Liberation Party is currently gradually degenerating from a reformist to a conservative, and it is normal to become a conservative, in the political arena of any developed country, the conservative is the most common party of public opinion, but the problem of the Liberation Party is that it has also lost a clear policy direction.

Now, the empire needs a solid political direction that will solidify the majority of its citizens in the long term.

This is Song Biao's judgment.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Weijun replied to the emperor on behalf of the others: "Your Majesty, can I wait until I go back and discuss this matter in the Central Executive Committee of the Party?" ”

Emperor Song Biao replied simply: "Let's reach a consensus here first, right?" ”

Gu Weijun and the others looked embarrassed, Chen Jin obviously didn't think this matter was very difficult, he was the person who knew the most about the theory of social righteousness among the five people, relatively speaking, he was still relatively supportive of this matter.

A closer look at the pan-policy systems of the Liberation Party and the SPD shows that the two are basically the same, and relatively speaking, the Liberation Party is more centrist in terms of dominant policies, but in principle it can be regarded as a coalition of center-left parties.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Jin first expressed his support: "I think this thing is feasible, we and the SPD itself have been in the ruling coalition for a long time, and the two sides basically have the same understanding of the dominant policy, and further integration is feasible and effective." ”

Emperor Song Biao followed Chen Jin's statement and reminded you: "The biggest problem of the Restoration Party now is the lack of an overall ruling theory system, and the Restoration Doctrine and reformism that we advocated in the past have actually become the present and the past with the development of the empire, to be precise, the theories and goals that the Restoration Party adhered to in the past have now been basically realized, and in the next 10, 20, 50, or even 100 years, what kind of theories will the Restoration Party use to guide the ruling and policy formulation? What principles should we adhere to? These are very important issues, you can't always live in the past achievements, late reform is better than early reform, late reform is better than quick change, if you want to govern in my empire and lead the progress of the people, then do not drag the mud and water, look ahead and look backward, you must have the courage to revolution, use it to reform yourself, bring forth the new, and attract new young people with new ideas and theories. As the old saying goes, people are divided by groups, and things are gathered by like, and if you cannot adhere to an effective theoretical system to absorb young talents, and if you cannot maintain the mainstream political direction of the country's long-term stability, my support for you will be reserved, or more precisely, from this election, out of the interests of the country and the people, I will support the SPD even more. ”

Hearing such words, Tang Shaoyi's heart was really cold.

In any case, everyone has feelings for the Guangfu Party, and everyone also feels that the Chinese nation and the Chinese people should feel the rejuvenation of the Party and should continue to believe in the Guangfu Party, but as Chen Jin said, no political party is immortal, it has a lifespan, and any political party that wants to sleep on the merit book, sit back and enjoy its achievements, and bend the law for bribes will eventually be abandoned by the people.

In China, a political party is a more advantageous choice to stay in power for a long time, of course, there is still a big difference between long-term power and dictatorship, as the people, we can allow you to govern for a long time, but we will never allow you to be a dictatorship, do whatever you want, and fool the people as mentally retarded.

What Song Biao wants to do now is to build a new centrist party for the empire that can govern for a long time, with a clearer theoretical thinking and policy system than the Guangfu Party in the past, and can form a more general social consensus.

The liberation of the Chinese nation is still the most common consensus of the Chinese nation, but this is not what distinguishes the Liberation Party from other political parties, whether it is the ** party, the Social Democratic Party, or the Chinese Youth Party, or the Restoration and Progressive Party, everyone has no objection to this.

This is where the Liberation Party has both advantages and losses.

The emperor's will is an irresistible force in this empire, and the five people present are well aware of this, and at such a moment, whether it is Gu Weijun or Wang Zhaoming, they are very clear that the matter of the merger of parties proposed by the emperor is something that cannot be resisted at all, and they have no other choice but to agree.

Even so, the five of them could only use this silent attitude to implore the emperor to be more cautious and deliberate.

Emperor Song Biao confronted them in silence.

After the two sides were silent for more than ten minutes, Cai Yuanpei broke the silence and said to Song Biao: "Your Majesty, I think that the word socialism is certainly quite influential at this stage, but whether the future of our country can be described by the word socialism may still need to be considered. ”

Song Biao agreed: "You are right, so we can't blindly believe in Marx or Edward. The two different kinds of socialism advocated by Bernstein should be built as socialism in China, a special Chinese-style socialism that conforms to our national conditions and characteristics, it should be a combination of the liberationism of the Chinese nation and socialism, it should be a China in which everyone is happy, the society is fair and just, and even everyone is prosperous. ”

At this time, Cai Yuanpei replied appropriately: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and it is really a clear strategy. ”

Song Biao asked the others again: "What do you think!" ”

Gu Weijun and the four of them could only reply together: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Song Biao knew that they were still unhappy in their hearts, so he said: "Don't perfunctory me, I'm not a hot head, from the long-term goal of building a socialist country with a Chinese model, so that everyone is equal, everyone is rich, everyone is free, social justice, and national fairness, this is my lifelong wish, and I have been thinking about it for a long time." In the past, my biggest concern has always been that the construction of a socialist society that we advocate is likely to be used by the Soviet Union, resulting in the redness movement of our country, all efforts and achievements will be ruined, controlled by the Soviet Union, and reduced to a vassal of the Soviet Union. What I am talking about here is socialism, not socialism, there is a difference, and it is based on socialism, not the struggle between capitalism and socialism. I ask you to merge with the SPD precisely to justifiably create a socialist theoretical program that meets China's future needs and ideals, and on the basis of restorationism and socialism, we will establish a new framework of socialism, and under the Confucian culture and Legalist social spirit, we will continue to build a Chinese-style socialist state. ”

Song Biao said a lot at once, and finally emphasized: "Strictly speaking, you are not going to merge with the SPD, but to work together with the SPD to create a new party that can be in power for a long time in the next few decades, or even a hundred years, with new ideas, new frameworks, new systems, more perfect, better, more self-disciplined, more perfect, and better talent training models." Now, what I ask of you is that you work together to unite more people and create a perfect new party. If you don't break it, you won't stand up, and you have to have the courage to take on such a responsibility for the country. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone finally understood what he meant, and their hearts could not help but feel relieved, and they began to accept the challenge that the emperor had said.

If it is not broken, it will not stand.

It is true that there are many problems at the present stage, and it is better to take advantage of the current peak stage of political prestige to carry out comprehensive and large-scale changes and make more long-term preparations for the future.

At this time, Wang Zhaoming took the initiative to stand up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take on this heavy responsibility." ”

As soon as he said this, the others could not be left behind, and they all vowed to do their part.

Since they all agreed, Song Biao asked them to sit down again and have a more in-depth discussion on the issue of the new political party, and there are basically only three models of political parties in the world, one is the cell model, the other is the branch model, and finally the club model.

The Kuomintang and the Liberal Democratic Party belong to the branch model, with branches in all counties and cities, while the Soviet political parties belong to the cell model, which penetrates into all social organizations, institutions, and all localities must have party branches.

The Guangfu Party belongs to the branch model, with the central party department and the central executive committee in the country, the provincial party department and the provincial executive committee at the provincial level, and the county party department and county committee at the county level.

Song Biao's meaning is to establish a brand-new more detailed and more infiltrated branch model, the lowest level of party committees should penetrate into the town level, universities and enterprises should have branches, actively develop members, and at the same time have some characteristics of the club model, widely set up clubs affiliated to local branches throughout the country, recruit members of the pan-supporter camp, and engage in larger-scale campaign campaigns and social propaganda and services.

In fact, the development of this new party will have a more Soviet-style religious character, and it will emphasize more on the unity of willpower, on the collective consciousness, on a unified goal.

In addition, the most important thing for a new political party is the structure of the ideological and theoretical system, the Liberation Party is the ruling party, the advantage in this point is obvious, the theoretical experts in the party are not only numerous, but also the level is extremely high, at this time it is necessary to initiate these forces to jointly discuss, on the basis of various theoretical systems, especially on the basis of liberalism and socialism, to build a new theory of Chinese socialism that meets the needs of the interests of the empire and the national conditions.

To put it simply, it is to create a beautiful ideal, and the path to realize it.

This is actually a religious party system.

Finally, how to merge the two parties, how to create a new party, and how to have a stricter talent absorption after the establishment of the new party, as well as an internal self-inspection system, and so on.

Gu Weijun proposed a more reasonable method, first emphasizing the ruling alliance between the Liberation Party and the SPD, the two parties first unify the pace, and then gradually transfer some important party members to advanced such as the SPD, to hold important posts in the central cabinet, step by step through a few years to achieve the merger, the merger of the time cycle is certainly longer and stricter, the better, at the same time as the merger to carry out a large-scale self-purge, and to absorb a large number of outstanding young talents, to give young talents more opportunities.

Obviously, Gu Weijun has always been dissatisfied with the Liberation Party, and wants to purge and rectify the considerations, and Wang Zhaoming and Tang Shaoyi are the main forces blocking him, and now, the emperor is obviously going to support Gu Weijun to do this.

Emperor Song Biao did invite these five people over, in fact, there may not be too many unknowns of Wang Zhaoming and Tang Shaoyi in the new party, Song Biao is already disgusted with this kind of infighting in the Guangfu Party, he has never expressed his position on this, nor has he said anything, but he has decided to dismantle the influence of Wang Zhaoming and Tang Shaoyi in this merger.

(To be continued)
