Just now Chen Shao recalled the bits and pieces of the later generations, and in the later generations, Chen Shao disagreed with dictatorship. However, in this era, while Chen Shao has changed the face of the times, he has also been imperceptibly changed by the times, and now his thoughts are completely different from those of later generations.

"Wang Jie, how many years have you been with me?" Chen Shao suddenly asked Wang Jie beside him.

"Chairman, it's been fourteen years." Wang Jie was a little puzzled by Chen Shao's actions, he first pinched his hand just now, and now asked himself such a question. In Wang Jie's memory, this is the first time he has seen Chen Shao lose his temper like this.

"Fourteen years, you have been by my side for fourteen years, if you are the same as Wang Yunshan and Huang Bai, you will be a general now, will you blame me for always keeping you by my side." Chen Shao asked seriously.

"Chairman, I have always respected you as my own father. As long as I can be by your side, even if I am a general, I will not do it. Wang Jie replied excitedly, as if he was afraid that Chen Shao would drive him away.

"Okay, in that case, you sit down first, I'll ask you some questions, and you must answer the answers in your heart." Chen Shao sat on the sofa next to him, pointed to the sofa opposite, and said to himself with a serious face.

Wang Jie didn't hesitate, he understood Chen Shao's character, and now he didn't need to push around with Chen Shao, or look flattered. Sitting straight opposite Chen Shao, with a serious face, he didn't know what Chen Shao wanted to ask, but he never thought that he would hide anything from Chen Shao.

"What kind of image does the government have in the eyes of the people?" Chen Shao asked the first question.

"In several ways, the image of the government and the president is absolutely irreplaceable in the eyes of the people in the southwest, they will highly support us, and our policies can be implemented 100 percent. The northwest region will be relatively poor, but according to the survey, their satisfaction rate with the government has reached more than 98 percent, and except for some ulterior motives, there is basically no resistance to the implementation of our policies. As for the newly occupied areas, popular support for the government is not so high. In the past few months, we have implemented a series of policies, except for those stubborn gentry and those interest groups whose interests have been damaged, and we have basically no problem in implementing the policies, after all, those people are only a minority, not to mention that our policies are for the benefit of the country and the people. Wang Jie said a lot in one breath, these things he collected according to various reports, as Chen Shao's secretary, he touched many things, and it was not strange to know these things. In the end, Wang Jie summed it up: "Generally speaking, the image of our government among the people was very good, and the successive victories of the army greatly boosted the morale of the people. Support for our government is at an all-time high. ”

"What do you think of me being emperor? What do you want to say about the act of deifying me? Wang Jie's answer was not beyond Chen Shao's expectations, the answer to that question Chen Shao has been paying attention to, but that is only the beginning, and the answer to the later question is what Chen Shao wants to know.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with deifying the chairman, because we need someone to lead us, who not only has a patriotic heart and loves the people, but also has a far-sighted strategic vision, dares to call out to any power, and dares to lead us to get back everything that has been robbed. With such a person, it is possible to gather all the strength of this nation, and it can also make the people more reverent and loyal. Only with a highly centralized government can we make better use of this force, and when the nation has the power to gather and the people have the goal of faith, China will truly rise rapidly. The emperor is where our belief lies, if you are not the emperor, who can be the emperor. ”

Wang Jie said very excitedly, in his heart, Chen Shao has always been omnipotent. But this is what Chen Shao has always been worried about, it is easy to deify a person, but once this deified person makes something wrong, it will be a heavy blow to the country.

"Although going to the altar can bring us fanatical support, when there are mistakes and some problems in the work of our government, this kind of frenzied calm will become a deep disappointment for the common people in me. No one is perfect, and I cannot guarantee that the policies I will implement in the future will be correct, and some mistakes will be difficult to repent of once they are made. Chen Shao was silent for a long time and said: "Wang Jie, I know that you all want me to go to the altar, this country is already full of holes and a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt. I also know that as long as I walk on this altar, as long as I raise my arms, the people of the whole country will be used by me, and they will continue to devote their whole lives and everything to the rapid revival of this country. The myth of the Great Leap Forward, the Great Production, and the Great Catching up with and surpassing the world powers is not impossible. Although the imperial system can better lead the people to a better future, once it is not operated well, it is likely to bring new wounds to the country. ”

Chen Shao himself also supports the imperial system, which he made up his mind early on, and World War II is getting closer and closer, and a country that cannot be highly centralized cannot exert its own strength. Which country was not a dictatorship in World War II, even Churchill and Roosevelt were dictatorships, let alone Stalin and Hitler. Yiyantang is not good in peacetime, but in war, there must be a person who can fully call the shots. Chen Shao himself knows the direction of the world, besides him, who else can better lead China to reap the fruits of World War II?

"Chairman, I think you are too unfounded, all of us believe in you and will not hesitate to support you. If you can't do it, then I'm sure there's no one in the world who can do it better than you. Wang Jiedao said very seriously.

Hearing Wang Jie's words, Chen Shao felt that he was indeed a little sentimental today. The goal was determined by myself, and I didn't expect that I would doubt myself one day.

Chen Shao also has no confidence in himself for the first time, just like a yellow flower girl getting on a sedan chair, seeing that she is about to ascend to the altar and take charge of the artifact of the country. I have always been worried that I will one day disappoint the people, for fear of doing something sorry for the people. Chen Shao is also a human being, not really a god, and it is very simple to have such an idea. If it weren't for the edification of these years, I'm afraid Chen Shao wouldn't dare to take this step.

In Chen Shao's thinking, such things as the imperial system and the democratic republic can only adapt to the times, rather than allowing the times to adapt to the system. Just like China now, the foundation of the imperial system is very substantial, and people can accept the imperial system very well. Maybe if we talk about a republic now, there will be a counterproductive effect.

When one wants to evolve one system into another, whether from a republic to an empire, or vice versa, the effort is basically the same. And the key obstacle to the transformation of an embryonic system into another is not the absolute military power and political power in the hands, nor the so-called aristocratic interests, because although these are important, they are not fatal. The real fatal key is the human mind, and the essence of the mind that cannot be transformed is the authority of the formation of tradition created by historical conditions.

It can be said that without Cromwell's dictatorship, there would have been no Glorious Revolution and democratic reform after Britain; Without Napoleon's proclamation, there would have been no French Republic; Similarly, without Chen Shao's dictatorship, there would be no China today. They are the medium of historical change, especially in countries that have implemented republics, and this historical condition has been reached when people's minds have become disgusted with the monarchy, so that both France and the United States are democratic republics today. The historical reason why Britain in the West and Japan in the East were able to retain the imperial system was not because of the formation of so-called democracy by the empty emperor, but because of the ideology, when the majority of the people were not disgusted with the imperial system, the historical conditions could not be achieved, so the imperial system still existed rationally.

Of course, in the early period of China, due to the relationship with Yuan Shikai, people also began to dislike the imperial system, which was an inevitable product. But due to Chen Shao's strong rise, people saw hope, felt glory and self-confidence, and made them worship Chen Shao unconsciously. A series of victories hastened the transformation of people's minds, plus theocracy has never been far from the people, and the lessons of various failures of democratic regimes. At this time, people are accustomed to the existence of Chen Shao, and people are worried about whether there will be a policy in the future, now is not the era of the information explosion in the future, there are a few Chinese who know what the democratic republic means, and people have become accustomed to accepting the fact that one person will lead, and if you change one in a few years, I am afraid that many people will not be able to adapt to it. But in the matter of the imperial system, Chen Shao also made some catalysts in secret.

As time continues to advance, it can be found that the historical footprint of human development is becoming more dense and faster. If it is compared to a novel that is developing its plot, then the first part is the beginning, and the later part is the end. And the middle part is now. In the same way, the history of the whole life, and even the entire universe, can be compared to the age of human beings, and no matter what their beginning and end are, the development in between is gradual from beginning to end.

And the closer the story gets to the later stages, the more it triggers a kind of fanaticism, which will eventually lead to the reappearance of war and civilization. This is because until now, there has been no perfect system in this world.

If the Renaissance is regarded as a turning point in European history, the Middle Ages in front of it is the beginning of the Dark Ages, and the Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, and Romantic Ages are the hotbeds of various cultures and symbols of prosperity. So, what was the pre-medieval Roman Republic? And what was the earlier Athenian democracy?

In fact, republics and empires are often staggered, and the demise of a republic is likely to be followed by an empire; And when this empire falls, it may be followed by another republic. As long as we carefully trace from historical documents, we will find that whether it is a republic or an empire, it has never been interrupted from ancient times to the present.

The Gracchus brothers Tiberio and Caio in the Roman Republic are living examples of this. They were elected tribunes by the plebeians and adopted many reforms in favor of the plebeians, but after being killed by the Roman nobility, they did not gain much support from the people, and history quickly forgot that they existed.

On the contrary, the dictator who conquered Gaul and even the whole of Rome, Geryos. Julius. Caesar has become a well-known figure now, and Antony and Octavian after him can also be remembered by us. At this time, I have to ask, in the era of the Roman Republic, how many of those consuls could be remembered by us like Julius Caesar?

Of course, you can say that you know Solon of Athens, Pericles, the first president of the United States, George. Washington, the leader of the French Jacobins, Robespierre, and many more. But, what about other than that? Think about it, in your own mind, whether there are more imperial leaders or more republican leaders.

Saul, David, Solomon, Alexander the Great, Pepin the Short, Charlemagne, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Constantine the Great, Darius I, Hammurabi, Peter the Great, Ivan the Terrible, William the Conqueror, Elizabeth I, Saladin, Genghis Khan, etc., there are too many to mention, these figures are all famous in their lifetimes, and their talents can only be brought into full play in the imperial state, composing legends that have attracted the attention of the world. If we place them in the modern era of the 21st century, it is difficult to continue the glory and glory of antiquity.

A republic is the opposite of an imperial system, the former is more focused on the interests of the majority, while the latter is concentrated in the few.

Although Chen Shao did not agree with dictatorship in later generations, are there still fewer countries with dictatorships in later generations? Now Chen Shao's thinking has changed, and he has seen some things more thoroughly. In fact, many of these two systems have been merged together in later generations.

For example, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, although it has the basic nature of a republic, has implemented a quasi-imperial succession, and Kim Il Sung directly gave the position of supreme leader to his son Kim Jong Il, which is the most obvious example. Another example is the Dominion of Canada and the Commonwealth of Australia, although they only recognize Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom as the head of state (in 2005, the Queen appointed the 27th Governor General of Canada, and in August 2003, Michael Queen. Geoffrey was appointed the 24th Governor-General of Australia), but it was still an imperial state, but in fact more democratic than many republics.

Chen Shao's plan is not to continue as a long-term dictatorship, and when World War II is over, Chen Shao will let it go. By then, Chen Shao would be in his fifties, and he should enjoy the little time left in the future.
