Chapter 192: The First Five-Year Plan

Military is always the basis of diplomacy.

If, on the basis of first recognizing the Chinese Empire and Song Biao as the Chinese emperor, Britain contains, avoids war, and follows the talks between Song Biao and Zhu Erdian to open the beginning of the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations between China and Britain, then Britain will certainly be able to gain great benefits in China's development, and Song Biao will also give Britain more benefits.

However, Britain insisted on supporting the war in a vain attempt to force China back into a situation of ignorance, backwardness, and division, and continued to maintain the policy of containing China with the capital, and as China bravely and quickly defeated the Japanese army, the relationship between China and Britain was really awkward.

What is the UK going to do?

This question is really difficult to answer, it is impossible to maintain the privileges of the past, China has proven itself to stand up, although China is not strong enough to at least defend its own navy, but if China and Britain are at odds, will Britain still have the courage to send an army to fight China?

Which British prime minister would dare to take such a risk.

……

Back in Tongzhou, Song Biao took a temporary leave for a while, and was not in a hurry to deal with official business, besides, as the emperor of the empire, there were not many official affairs that he really needed to handle personally.

In the past few days, he has been staying in Xihai Tower Park to accompany his family, spending his time at home, and only occasionally summoning the imperial party to discuss the specific time of enthronement, roughly in mid-July, after the "Sino-Chinese Armistice Treaty" and before the first anniversary of the founding of the empire.

After a short rest for a few days, this afternoon, Song Biao recruited Zhang Kangren and Rong Xingqiao to his garden to report the account, the battle was won, and the reparations would definitely not be earned.

South Korea's financial base is not enough to support a large reparation.

It doesn't matter, Song Biao also has to think about the long term, he knows very well that there is destined to be a real larger-scale war between China and China, and this kind of thing will definitely not be able to run away, and sooner or later he will make this rogue nation pay a real painful price.

Without a suitable reparation, the huge military spending will have to be swallowed by itself.

Zhang Kangren and Rong Xingqiao came together, when they came, Song Biao was reading the editorials of the "Central Daily" and the "Northeast Daily" for a period of time, and he had been supervising the war in North Korea, and his time and energy were limited every day, he had not read the newspaper for a long time, and a lot of domestic information was streamlined and then submitted to him.

After all, when he was idle, Song Biao regarded reading newspapers as a way to familiarize himself with domestic affairs, especially the editorials of the "Central Daily", which he hadn't paid attention to for a long time.

After Zhang Kangren and Rong Xingqiao entered the study and bowed to salute, Song Biao continued to read the newspaper and roughly browsed the editorial and major news on May 3 before he let the two sit down and smiled with them: "Both of them are gods of wealth, and the two of them can have this great victory in the Korean War, and the two of them have a lot of credit." ”

Zhang Kangren was overjoyed and replied: "Your Majesty has praised it, and the ministers have just done their duty." ”

Rong Xingqiao was also very happy.

Since the First Opium War, the Sino-Chinese Xinhai War was the first great victory of the Chinese people over foreign enemy forces, and it was a great achievement that the whole country celebrated.

Without waiting for Song Biao to inquire about the financial expenditure of military spending and political axes, Zhang Kangren respectfully presented the latest financial reports of the Ministry of Finance and the Central Imperial Bank.

Song Biao took the report, and before he opened it and looked at it, he directly asked Zhang Kangren: "What is the general expenditure of military spending, and has it been counted?" ”

Zhang Kangren replied: "From August last year to this month, the total expenditure for this war has been 143 million silver yuan, which does not include ammunition consumption, because the vast majority of ammunition is stockpiled materials, and the part produced in the past six months accounts for only 1/4. ”

Song Biao nodded slightly, only then opened the report to take a general look, and emphasized to Zhang Kangren while reading: "Ammunition consumption is another account, I asked the front-line headquarters to count before returning to China, the total ammunition consumed in ten days is 7.85 million rounds of ammunition, including mortar shells, a total of 450,000 rounds of artillery shells were used, so if you continue to fight, the Northeast Army will run out of ammunition and food in two months." However, the speed of our victory was very fast, and when we arrived in Pyongyang, we counted the captured supplies of the Chinese army, and in the whole we did not suffer a big loss, and the more than 600 artillery pieces and more than 2,000 heavy machine guns of the Chinese army alone were worth a lot of money. ”

After saying this, he continued to read the report carefully, and the actual total expenditure of the entire civil war in Sichuan was only 40 million silver yuan, which was actually only a fraction of the current Sino-Chinese Xinhai War, and one of the most important problems was the difference in the number of people mobilized.

After 10 days of fighting on the front line, more than 2 million migrant workers were recruited in the rear, and the monthly expenditure was not a small amount.

The Provisional Cabinet certainly could not come up with so much money, and basically relied on the issuance of government bonds, and the main purchaser of government bonds was the Central Imperial Bank, and the central bank borrowed money from the Far Eastern Bank and foreign banks to buy silver, issued silver yuan bills on the basis of silver, and then used 120 million silver yuan bonds to purchase government bonds specially used for war purposes.

This is a formal rule of the country's political axe fiscal operation, institutionalized and regularized, while the fiscal deficit of the political axe is also very staggering.

Having said that, isn't that the case for Xiao Yue?

Both sides are borrowing money to fight.

As a constitutional monarchy, Song Biao's most relaxed thing is that he doesn't have to worry about the financial deficit of the political axe, which is Tang Shaoyi's job, and he only cares about how to spend money to ensure that he wins the battle.

After reading the report, Song Biao continued to ask Zhang Kangren: "What is the current situation of the central bank?" ”

Zhang Kangren said: "The situation of the central bank is not bad, the branches of the main provinces have been established, and now the main work is to recover the old currency of the provinces, and now the direct use of silver has been banned throughout the country, and the circulation currency can only be the central currency, and the Kanto region continues to allow the passage of tickets, which is very beneficial to the further implementation of silver yuan and silver dollar coupons throughout the country." The previous dynasty was a mixed standard of silver and copper, the main currency in circulation in the country is actually copper coins and new copper rounds, the number is amazing, after the unified change to the silver standard, the central bank bears the pressure on silver is very high, if we continue to buy silver from the international market according to the existing scale, according to China's total economic volume, the price of silver will increase by at least 20%, if international capital intervenes in speculation, it may be higher, so after discussing with the prime minister, I will consider adopting the mixed gold and silver standard as soon as possible to share the pressure on silver. The newly issued Imperial Central Bank gold yuan bonds are based on gold and foreign exchange reserves, and the gold content rate per round is 0.7535 grams, and the silver yuan bills are calculated at a floating exchange rate according to the gold and silver exchange rate in the international market, but on the whole, the market value of gold yuan bills and silver yuan is basically equal to circulation, and every 100 copper yuan continues to be exchanged for a silver yuan, and a fixed exchange rate is implemented. ”

There are no minor problems with the currency.

After Song Biao thought about it carefully, he said to Zhang Kangren: "The confrontation between Britain and Germany is getting more and more intense, and the military spending of both sides is growing very fast, I expect that it will be five or six years in short, and seven or eight years in the longest. How do you think international and domestic financial markets will fluctuate in the event of war? ”

Zhang Kangren pondered carefully for a moment and replied: "The international gold price will increase, and silver will soar with it, because international gold assets are limited, and silver assets are relatively abundant. Once the price of silver soars, the domestic currency will fluctuate sharply, causing domestic prices to skyrocket. If this is the case, it is best to speed up the shift to the gold standard in China, try every means to increase gold reserves, and issue a large number of gold yuan bills; once there is a large fluctuation in the exchange price of gold yuan bills and silver yuan bills, then directly abandon the silver standard and implement the gold standard system to avoid shocks. If this is done, the international silver price will fall, forcing the exchange rate of the gold and silver yuan bonds to stabilize temporarily. ”

Song Biao is not an expert in this area, and he still relies more on Zhang Kangren's judgment to decide his own countermeasures.

Just when Song Biao was thinking further, Rong Xingqiao said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates think that the central government should introduce a policy to forcibly control gold and silver precious metals, purchase precious metals with gold and silver coupons, and the central government will hold gold and most of the silver reserves. ”

Song Biao bowed slightly.

Although such a policy is too tough, it is actually the only way to protect the stability of the value of the country and its people's assets, otherwise, whether the price of silver rises or falls too much, it will be a serious damage to the Chinese economy.

In the long run, it is still necessary to change to the gold standard as soon as possible to cure the symptoms and cure the root cause.

The so-called limited exchange of gold standard is on the basis of the gold standard, restricting the exchange of gold yuan coupons and gold, private individuals can not hold gold, only foreign businessmen, foreign political axes can use gold yuan coupons to exchange gold from the central bank of China, and there is a limit on the amount, so as to greatly reduce the loss of national gold reserves, and gold reserves are mainly used in the field of foreign trade settlement.

It's just that China's economy is too large, and even if the gold standard is implemented, it lacks sufficient gold reserves.

Song Biao thought about it for a long time, and at this time he had to deal with the impact of the First World War in all aspects, not only to ensure that the country took the opportunity to benefit from the First World War, but also to ensure the stability of national assets and national economic development.

Only in this way will China be able to take advantage of the First World War to develop.

Because of the lack of professionalism in the financial field, Song Biao thought about it for a while, and then said to Zhang Kangren: "The probability of a full-scale war in Europe between Britain and Germany in the next five years is at least 50%, so the central bank and the Ministry of Finance must formulate absolutely reliable countermeasures and prepare in advance. As for the control of precious metals, gold must be controlled on a national scale and can only be held by the state, while silver is concentrated in the political axe reserve as much as possible. It is impossible to make the whole country accept paper money in a short period of time, and the passage of silver yuan must not be small, so we have to think of more ways to do it. ”

Zhang Kangren nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the emperor and others will do their best to deal with these things." ”

Song Biao bowed slightly, and Rong Xingqiao continued to ask, "How is the situation in the Far East?" ”

Rong Xingqiao said: "Back to the emperor, the situation on our side is fine, the cost of this war is less than expected, and the time is much shorter, and it has little impact on the domestic economy and the import and export trade of the Far East Commercial Bank." According to the current trend, it is expected that the whole year can exceed 4,000 tons, and the export of mulberry silk is also much more powerful than in previous years, and it can roughly recover to the scale of 3,000 tons. Next year, the recovery growth rate of mulberry silk exports will be even more. Last year's soybean, sugar and coal exports were also smooth. So far, the Far Eastern Bank has close to 65 million pounds in foreign exchange reserves, but to say a lot, it will be far from enough when the 175 industrial plans of the Central Government's 1st and 2nd Five-Year Plans are launched. ”

Song Biao hummed and encouraged: "The 175 plan is related to the great rejuvenation of the whole nation, it is normal for the scale of investment to be large, the Far East must be fully supported, and it is not easy for the cabinet to be politically axeful, if the country does not support it, then it will be even more difficult for them to go abroad to find assistance." ”

Rong Xingqiao said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed not easy for the cabinet to be politically axed. ”

The so-called "175 industrial plans" were originally put forward by Song Biao in the Northeast New Deal period of the 150 large industrial plans, which are to build 150 large-scale factories, industrial and mining and new enterprises nationwide, and to completely establish China's chemical industry, chemical fertilizer, energy, iron and steel, shipbuilding, metallurgy, electric power, communications, automobiles, textiles, machinery, and machine tools, power, hardware, food, glass, cement, ceramics and other industrial systems, with 150 large enterprises to drive the entire industrial development, 50 focus on the supply of basic raw materials, 50 light industry, 50 heavy industry.

At that time, the foundation of the Northeast was weak, and there was not even a match factory at first, so it was certainly impossible to build so many new industries.

After these six years of rapid development, the Northeast is now a relatively solid foundation, if there is no sudden outbreak of civil war and the overthrow of the Manchu Liberation Revolution, the Northeast Second Five-Year Plan is ready to implement the "150 large industrial plans", and after discussing with Song Biao, Premier Tang Shaoyi intends to completely absorb the "150 large industrial plans" in the empire's First Five-Year Plan, and expand to 175 plans, including electricity, communications, automobiles, these high-tech industries.

The Cabinet is also ambitious, hoping to make great progress in the entire industrial system by building 175 large factories across the country and promoting the development of 30 to 50 large companies.

According to Tang Shaoyi's vision, among the 175 large factories, 1/3 is a joint venture between the political axe and the national capital, 1/3 is the joint venture between the political axe, the national capital and foreign businessmen, and 1/3 is the national capital self-built.

The industrial base of the Northeast is good, the resources are abundant, and there are many large enterprises, among the current 175 plans, the Northeast accounts for 1/3, Zhili, Luyu, and Jin account for 1/3, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, Liangguang, and Sichuan together account for the remaining 1/3, and the overall Northeast is the most, followed by Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and followed by Zhili and Huguang.

According to the current plan, the Far Eastern Group Consortium can account for at least half of the 175 opportunities, but Tang Shaoyi has the intention of restricting the Far East, and also wants to support other business groups.

After all, Tang Shaoyi is Tang Shaoyi, and he already has anti-monopoly tendencies, but now he urgently needs the contribution of the Far East Consortium, especially considering that the Far Eastern Consortium is the emperor's private property, he is still very cautious and careful.

Rong Xingqiao is not happy, there are more projects, he is not happy, because the investment is huge, he is also worried about the risk of capital chain and operation, there are fewer projects, he is not happy, the key is that he wants several big projects, Tang Shaoyi did not give to the Far East consortium.

There are many things in this, Tang Shaoyi also talked to Song Biao twice.

Tang Shaoyi's meaning is very simple, Your Majesty, you are now sitting on the world, you should focus on the world, Song Biao didn't pay much attention to his words, of course, this is not that Tang Shaoyi wants to get along with Song Biao, he just feels that as the prime minister, he should put the country first, if there are conditions, he still has to adhere to principles.

Unless Song Biao speaks in person, or sends someone to tell him that it is not good for you to do things like this, that is, there is no condition to continue to adhere to the principle, and he will not insist on it anymore.

Regarding Tang Shaoyi's special surname, Song Biao is still very clear, this person is considered for the country in the general direction, and he is principled, but he is also a relatively flexible politician.

Many things are actually very complicated and simple, Song Biao has not said anything about this matter, which is tantamount to acquiescing in the principles that Tang Shaoyi should adhere to as the prime minister, and he has no need to use his thighs to step on the thin arm of Tang Shaoyi, the little prime minister.

Rong Xingqiao also understood the truth in this, except for scratching, he didn't dare to say too much, especially he didn't want to comment on the bad words of his old classmates in front of the emperor.

Song Biao didn't have the energy to ask about the "175 large-scale industrial plans" at this stage, and asked Rong Xingqiao, who was a member of the National Assembly, about the affairs of the Congress, and said: "How is the organization of the Congress?" ”

Rong Xingqiao said: "Back to the emperor, everything is ready on the side of the Congress, the parliamentarians of the provinces have already arrived in Beijing, among the 172 seats, half of the seats are in the Liberation Council, 24 seats are in the Constituent Assembly, about 15 seats are in the New Deal and Strong Nation Congress, the China Ming Cooking Party and the Restoration and Progress Association, 7 seats are selected by business people alone, 7 seats are occupied by the army, and 3 seats are occupied by the navy, these are all fixed seats. Premier Tang is recently negotiating with the New Deal and the Progressive Council for the Restoration of the Nation, and the Restoration Council, the New Politics Council, and the Restoration Council combined, plus some others, basically account for 70% of the seats, except for amending the constitution, the rest of the legislation and other things can be passed smoothly. At present, the matter of the first speaker of the National Assembly has not been negotiated, and Liang Qichao originally said that he sent it to the door to talk about a coalition government, but recently it is said that he is a little self-righteous, or he is taking the lead and making a lot of things, just to go to the position of the first speaker of the National Assembly, and his ambition is not small. ”

Song Biao sneered and continued to ask, "How is the situation on Yuan Shikai's side?" ”

Rong Xingqiao said: "I don't know the movement of this Minister of Transportation. ”

Zhang Kangren said: "Yuan Shikai has been running outside, there is very little time to return to Beijing, he just came back from Sichuan some time ago, he is busy with the railway and dredging the river, it is said that he proposed a new railway plan, and there are some arguments with Premier Tang. I heard Zhang Jun say some time ago that Yuan Shikai has been in contact with Liang Qichao, Zhang Jian and others during this time, but some people said that he wanted to join the Restoration Society, I don't know what Tao Chengzhang said, probably did not negotiate, did not agree to his application to join the Association. ”

Song Biao was surprised and said, "Isn't he in the New Deal Power Council?" I remember when he was still the governor of Zhili, he was in the New Deal and the National Council? ”

Zhang Kangren said: "It is said that he quit when he was ordered to resign a few years ago. ”

Song Biao was puzzled for a while.

Yuan Shikai suddenly made a comeback some time ago, Song Biao asked Duan Qirui to pass a message to Yuan Shikai at that time, the bottom line is that he is not allowed to interact with the army anymore, and the situation is stronger than others, Yuan Shikai agreed to this bottom line in a hurry to go out of the mountain.

Song Biao has been asking the Secret Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau to pay attention to the movements of the old bureaucrats of the Beiyang Army for the past year, and everyone is staring at it, including Yuan Shikai, who seems to be very quiet now, and there is no violation of the bottom line for the time being.

As for the New Deal Strong Nation Association, they are all officials from the previous dynasties, and many of them are feudal officials, such as Zhou Fu, Wei Guangtao, Zhang Renjun, Ding Zhenduo, and even Manchu ministers such as Xiliang, who are also New Deal factions among the governors of the early provinces, and later they were successively shelved by the regent Zaifeng, or hung idle, these people are naturally unwilling to continue to serve in the new imperial cabinet axe and retain their reputation as loyal ministers, but they have a great influence in the New Deal and Strong Nation Council, Most of the students selected by the New Deal Power Association in various provinces are protΓ©gΓ©s or former staff members when they served as academic politicians.

There are also a number of really usable talents in the New Deal Strong Power Association, such as Yuan Jiagu, the first champion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's special economic department, and Jin Bangping, who later studied at Waseda University, and Jin Bangping, a late Qing Dynasty study tour.

After the Xinhai Revolution, these people basically withdrew from politics and became political advisers to warlords in various places, for example, Yuan Jiagu served as a provincial political adviser in Yunnan for nearly 20 years, and no matter how the warlords changed, he still presided over the local government affairs in Yunnan.

After the success of the Liberation Revolution, Song Biao still sent people to persuade through the New Deal Strong Country Association, even if they still want to be loyal to the previous dynasty, they also hope that they will consider the country and the nation, the country's talents are withering, and there are very few people who are familiar with government affairs and know Chinese and foreign studies, Song Biao naturally hopes that they will continue to stay in the New Deal axe to work, if they can't figure it out for a while, they can't erase their feelings, such as Chen Baochen, then they will enter the National Assembly as a provincial councilor to participate in state affairs.

Following the example of Britain and the United States, the Reich Congress had various committees under it, and in addition to voting, there was some practical work to be done.

After buffering for a period of time, Song Biao still hopes that they will return to serve in the political axe and participate in the governance of the country, after all, it is very wrong to rely on revolutionaries to govern the country, they are too young and seriously lack political experience.

Song Biao is open to these people, but he does not have a good recognition of Liang Qichao's reform and progress meeting, and it is obviously impossible to agree with Liang Qichao's ambitions.

After a little thought, Song Biao said to Zhang Kangren: "This matter, I won't call Tao Chengzhang and them over to talk alone, you can just tell me, now we still have to take the liberation revolution as the banner, hold high the banner of recovering China and rejuvenating the nation, this banner is stronger and more legitimate than any Sanming boiled righteousness." For the time being, there is no rush to select the best ones to form the Chinese Revolutionary Party, and directly form the China Liberation Party. Now that I am not fit to remain in any political party as emperor, I need to maintain the principle of monarchical neutrality, and after I withdraw from the Liberation Council, Cai Yuanpei can be the chairman and the first chairman of the China Liberation Party, and he will also serve as the chairman of the National Assembly as the chairman of the largest party. In addition, he told Tang Shaoyi that there were no optional talents on the side of the Reform and Progress Association, so he should not engage in a coalition government with them. ”

Zhang Kangren said: "In fact, the prime minister has seen through the reform and progress of the society, except for Liang Qichao, there are few really suitable candidates, but the old reputation of the book on the bus is quite prestigious in the local area, so there are only a dozen seats." Now I probably didn't expect Liang Qichao to be so conceited! ”

Political things are so complicated and weird, so Song Biao doesn't want to ask, but it doesn't seem to be okay to ask.

Song Biao really doesn't have to ask about economic matters such as the "175 large-scale industrial plans"; politically, he still has to ask about who is up and down, how cabinet ministers are selected, the proportion of seats in the National Assembly, and the specific candidates for the members of the Liberation Council.

He controls the majority of the cabinet ministers, and the majority of the people in the Diet, and he, the emperor under the constitutional monarchy, can still control the general direction of the country.

After thinking about it carefully, Song Biao felt that it was unreliable to let Zhang Kangren send a message to Tang Shaoyi, so he changed his words and said: "Forget it, this Premier Tang has a lot of things to report, let him come over at this time tomorrow, and I will talk about these things when I meet him." ”

Zhang Kangren nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Your Majesty, have you received any news about the Sichuan Railway dispute?" ”

Song Biao said: "I heard that I was organizing the Yalu River Offensive at the time, and I really didn't have the energy to ask about this, isn't it that the squires of the Sichuan Railway Company refused to abstain, obviously lost three million taels of silver, and actually had to buy back the political axe at the original price, which is equivalent to their investment failure, and the result is that the political axe will pay, how is this possible?" Yuan Shikai's idea is right, no matter when this railway is built, it must first be taken back from the government, so that these stupid squires who don't understand railways at all, and don't even understand the rules of modern companies, run railways, not to benefit the people, but to harm the country. ”

Zhang Kangren said: "The method proposed by Yuan Shikai at that time was to directly and forcibly take back the right of way, but at that time there was a war, the emperor told him to seek stability in the country, Tang Shaoyi wanted to postpone it, even if it was to be done through negotiation, Yuan Shikai thought that this matter was in his charge, and his attitude was a bit tough, and the two had a lot of disputes." ”

Song Biao sighed and said: "Yuan Shikai, the old bureaucrats do new things, and it is still the old-fashioned concept of protΓ©gΓ©s who come and go, and probably think that Tang Shaoyi is the protΓ©gΓ© he picked up. If the two can get along well, that's hell. Having said that, what Yuan Shikai said is also right, this matter cannot be allowed, let it here, let it there, and China Railway will not be able to handle it properly. The matter of the right of way, I still mean to do it according to our experience in the Northeast, promulgating three business concession licenses, two private railway companies, a central national railway company, and businessmen who are unwilling to run loss-making railways, then the Central Railway Corporation is responsible for handling them, and the specific sections of the road are constantly subcontracted to joint venture companies for construction and operation. ”

Speaking of this, he clapped his hands and said: "You people, you people always think about small problems too complicated, and big problems are more complicated, Yuan Tang and the others confuse private matters in public affairs and toss together, coming and going for power, in fact, what is there to fight for, do you want to fight for power with me in the end?" ”

Rong Xingqiao thought for a while, and replied to Song Biao: "Your Majesty, isn't this how this person is alive, in fact, everyone is eating in the bowl, looking at the master in the pot, no one is worried!" ”

Song Biao nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, what you said is too right." ”

Song Biao has always been a person who can simplify all kinds of complex issues, and the matter of the Sichuan Railway is very simple in his opinion, first of all, the employees of the Sichuan Railway Company who embezzled public funds to speculate in stocks were punished in accordance with the law, and confirmed that this was a problem of the company's own operation, and the state would not compensate for it; The second is to audit the accounts and compensate the company for the expenses that have been invested in the exploration and construction of the railway; Finally, the right of way bought out by the company will be recovered at the price.

Tang Shaoyi just used his words as the emperor to suppress Yuan Shikai, why? The reason is very simple, Tang Shaoyi feels that Yuan Shikai threatens his position.

Politics is like this, many things can be handled very simply, but as a result, they are tied up by various interests and become very complex issues.

For example, why the anti-corruption and anti-monopoly reform is always thunder and not rain, that is, the interests are tied too ruthlessly, and the whole body is affected by one trigger, and when it comes to reform, these politicians who hold real power have thought of various ways to obstruct it.

Once the cabinet political axe encounters this kind of dispute, Song Biao will definitely come forward, he doesn't care what your reason, what reason, what is wrong is wrong, what is right is right, follow the principles and laws to deal with it simply, one is one, two is two, whoever fights for personal interests and power to him is bullshit, he tells you to get out, you have to get out of the cabinet political axe, whether you are the prime minister of the cabinet or the minister of transportation.

The reason why Song Biao asked Zhang Kangren and Rong Xingqiao, two unrelated people, to come over was because they were not involved in these interests and could truthfully report the situation in China during this time.

During Song Biao's trip to North Korea to supervise the war, there were really a lot of things on the side of the cabinet and the Congress, but the overall situation was important, and no one dared to really make a big fuss, and after all, there was the emperor above who Song Biao really controlled a real power, which really made Song Biao feel that you were an unworthy person, and you could get out.

That afternoon, Song Biao asked Zhang Kangren and Rong Xingqiao a lot of things, basically trivial matters on the side of the cabinet and the Congress, which sounded like big things, but no matter how big they were, they were just, and no matter how big they were, they couldn't be as big as the Sino-Chinese Xinhai War and the Sino-Chinese armistice negotiations.

(To be continued)
