At 8:30 a.m. on October 10, 1936, the Empire's first atomic bomb, Pangu, was test-detonated.

Song Biao hardly slept last night, and after a simple meal in the morning, he waited for news in the study until 8:42, when Defense Minister Chen Qicai personally walked into the imperial study with a top-secret telegram, presented the report to Song Biao, and announced: "Your Majesty, the test explosion has been successful." ”

Hearing this, Song Biao couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Honestly, the scale of the Empire's investment in nuclear weapons is definitely not as large as the United States' original spending, after all, there are successful models to follow, and it takes longer and the preparation period is longer.

Since the opening of the Department of Nuclear Physics at Aurora University, the Empire has been preparing for this for 25 years.

Chen continued: "Some of the more specific data reports may have to wait two hours for them to arrive, and it will not be until the end of the month that the CNNC will give a more comprehensive estimate and research report. ”

Song Biao was very satisfied and said: "It's already very good to be successful, and every researcher who participates in the project must be rewarded, but for the sake of secrecy, these things still have to be handled secretly." Submit the preliminary assessment report as soon as possible, and in addition, you go and inform the cabinet to allow Premier Gu to come to the audience. ”

Chen Qicai nodded silently, and then withdrew from the imperial study.

After he left, Song Biao asked Chen Jiayou to sort out the brief introduction information of the 201S02 project, make a preliminary briefing, and stamp it with a top-secret seal.

In less than two hours, the Central Secret Bureau submitted the latest emergency statistics of the test data, and at this time, Gu Weijun temporarily postponed the two schedules and meeting work, and hurriedly arrived at the Central Palace Xuanzheng Garden for an audience.

After summoning him into the imperial study, Song Biao did not rush to tell him the news, because the cabinet did not know many things about it until now.

After asking Gu Weijun to sit down, Song Biao said to him: "Coming to you today is actually a very important thing, and it is also a good thing to say, a very good thing." ”

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "Now the good news of the empire is continuous, every day and every day, but it really makes Your Majesty call it a very good thing, Your Majesty really can't think of it, it must be a real good thing, a grand event for the whole country, it should be gratifying, and Your Majesty should congratulate the emperor first." ”

Song Biao said: "Whether it is you, or the former Premier Ouyang Geng, including the first Premier Tang Shaoyi, you all know that the Imperial 201 Project has a special top-secret branch project directly under the jurisdiction of the Secret Bureau, and these projects are generally related to the military. In this series of special projects numbered with the S number, Project 201S02 and the other three projects supporting it spanned as long as fifteen years, since the existence of Project 201, and now this project is a preliminary success, in these fifteen years, the cabinet has paid a total of more than 700 million yuan for this purpose, and the total amount of funds allocated by the military department and the Inner Court has also exceeded 1 billion yuan, such a huge expenditure is enough for us to build more than a dozen emperor-class high-speed battleships. In fact, these are only part of it, in the past ten years, a lot of political axe infrastructure investment is also around this project and operation, such as Liujiaxia Hydropower Station, Longyangxia Hydropower Station, Shenmu County Thermal Power Station, etc., if these projects are added, our total expenditure for this is estimated to exceed 5 billion, it is really terrible to think about it, but this is the truth in this world, there is a return to pay, and now this plan finally has the success of the first step, since it is a success in your tenure, you will also leave a name in history. ”

Gu Weijun was both surprised and puzzled, and couldn't think of what kind of project required such a huge expense, so he continued to ask: "I don't know what kind of project the 201S02 project the emperor said?" ”

Song Biao said: "To put it simply, it's a bomb, but it's more powerful. If we take the TNT explosives commonly used in the army as the calculation unit, such a bomb is about 600 kilograms, and the actual power is equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT. This means that even one of our very conventional bombers can fly over the enemy and wipe out hundreds of thousands of troops at a time. ”

Gu Weijun was shocked, he was so surprised that he was almost speechless, of course he couldn't believe what the emperor said, but he couldn't figure it out anyway.

Song Biao knew that he couldn't figure it out, so he handed him a briefing compiled by Chen Jiayou, and said: "You will understand after reading it, this information can only be read here, and after reading it, it will continue to be handed over to the Secret Bureau for safekeeping, and not a word is allowed to be leaked." ”

Gu Weijun naturally understood the importance of this intelligence, and cautiously said yes, and carefully read the report on the introduction of nuclear weapons, and then he roughly understood what the secret weapon the emperor was talking about.

After he finished reading it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Majesty, since this thing is here, why should the country worry about the world as an enemy?" ”

Song Biao bowed slightly, and sighed approvingly: "Yes, this matter has always been personally responsible for me, and you don't know about it as the prime minister, but now that you succeed, you will naturally report it to you, so that you also have a confidence in your heart, don't worry too much about the threat of war from Su Yue and other countries, of course, it is not suitable for too urgent toughness, the scale in this, you can naturally grasp it very well as a foreign minister." According to the current total expenditure scale of the central government and the military department, about six to ten such nuclear bombs can be produced per year. If necessary, an overall increase in expenditures during the war period is expected to reach about 20 per year. ”

Only then did Gu Weijun understand that although the nuclear bomb was good, the cost was very high.

He thought about it for a while, and asked Song Biao: "Your Majesty, can you urgently increase the expenditure budget and increase the scale of nuclear bombs to about 100 first?" ”

Song Biao waved his hand and said: "This thing has its own objective laws, we currently have a reactor for power generation, as long as there are industrial raw materials, we can basically produce bomb-level special materials, the cost of making about six per year is not high, the main expenditure is to continue to use new research, as well as regular maintenance." The maintenance cost of nuclear bombs is very high, so it is not a very good thing to increase too much, so it will slowly accumulate at the current rate, about 30 pieces, which is basically enough to destroy any opponent's will to fight. ”

Gu Weijun felt that it was better not to ask about this matter, because the cabinet did not know what the specific situation of the 201s series of projects was, and the annual fixed appropriation added up to 300 million yuan, and this amount was usually paid equally by the investment income of the four major political axe trust companies and foreign bonds, and the impact on the central finance was very small, plus military spending, the total cost of the 201s project was only 400 million yuan per year, and the imperial cabinet could still bear it.

Since it can withstand it, it is naturally impossible for the cabinet to collide with the emperor because of this, after all, these are the things that the emperor is personally responsible for, and it is definitely not their turn to take care of it.

Gu Weijun nodded silently yes, and said: "All these matters are personally judged by the emperor, but whatever is needed, the subordinates should be loyal and never dare to have any negligence." ”

Song Biao didn't care very much, and said: "Anyway, it's a happy thing, you just pay attention to secrecy, the weapon of the country, not to be shown lightly, if Su said that my country has developed such a weapon, the same project has been stepped up to develop it, and it will be successful in three or four years, and it may be us who will suffer in the end, so you don't need to tell others anymore." ”

Gu Weijun nodded again.

At this time, Gu Weijun's cabinet was already very stable, and Song Biao also personally came forward to persuade Chen Qicai, Yang Zhaolin and others, who had competed with Gu Weijun for prime minister, to persuade them to continue to serve in the cabinet as the political elite of the domestic and Guangfu Party, while Song Jiaoren continued his journey of forming a party, trying to further integrate small parties and local parties, and truly form an opposition party that could compete with the Guangfu Party.

Compared with the economic conflict and instability in 1935, since the second half of last year, the impact of the exchange rate increase on the short-term conflict of the economy has gradually weakened, and the role of the "Shanghai International Trade Convention" signed by more than 60 countries and regions of China, the United States, Britain and France has begun to appear, after a lapse of six years, China's exports to Britain and the United States and other countries have begun to grow by a large margin again, and the empire's huge international trade surplus is still a situation that is difficult to reverse in the short term in Europe and the United States.

With regard to some of the corruption problems caused by the large-scale increase in central investment projects in the later period of Ouyang Geng's cabinet, Gu Weijun also promised to promote the revision of the "National Integrity Act", continue to strengthen anti-corruption treatment, and adopt the principle of two-way punishment, not only to charge more than 10 times the punishment for corrupt officials and public officials, but also to charge more than 20 times the punishment for bribes, and to initiate higher criminal trials for cases that cause losses to the state and national interests.

This is an era of isms.

Germany has National Socialism, the Soviet Union has [***], France has leftism, the United States has conservatism and liberal capitalism, and China has liberal nationalism.

The orientation of the Liberation Party is liberal nationalism, but it has absorbed the ideas and policies of the left and right wings, and belongs to the liberal nationalism of the middle political party, while the national policy belongs to the typical utilitarianism, with some conservative policies, some free policies, and everything is utilitarian.

Before Gu Weijun came to power, in order to win the vote of 24.77 million voters across the country, he made many promises, including further increasing the welfare system, before the growth of per capita income and minimum income was not demanding, Gu Weijun absorbed leftist ideas, proposed to establish a national surname of workers and peasants social pension insurance during his term of office, and the next term of office will establish a national surname of public medical institutions and national medical insurance.

Song Biao is still very satisfied with his policy orientation, China's development to today's situation, indeed need to establish a preliminary social security system like Britain, the United States, Germany and France, after all, the central government has money, China's labor force is also young, and the education level of the young population is gradually improving, fully able to support such a long-term burden.

At this time, Lieutenant General Chen Jiayou, a first-class chamberlain in the inner court, walked into the imperial study again and told Song Biao: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jun has flown back to the central airport in advance, because there is an urgent report, he hopes to meet the emperor in advance." ”

"Oh?"

Song Biao was quite strange, Zhang Jun originally sent a telegram to report that he would not be able to return to China in two days, he glanced at the desk calendar records on the desk, confirmed that there was nothing else special today, and instructed Chen Jiayou: "Then meet in the morning, you also inform Jiang Yanxing and let him come over in the afternoon." ”

Chen Jiayou nodded yes.

Waiting for Chen Jiayou to leave the imperial study, Song Biao continued to ask Gu Weijun, "Do you have any urgent itinerary today?" ”

Gu Weijun replied: "In the afternoon, the central bank and the Central Research Bureau will hold a demonstration meeting on whether the recent real estate price increase is too fast. ”

Song Biao bowed his head, but said, "Do you still need to discuss this kind of thing?" Apparently it has risen too fast, nearly doubling last year. Even I know this kind of thing very well, the inner court also has some properties in Shanghai, the average price has nearly doubled, and it has risen so much in one year, which is obviously very abnormal, how do you want the people to live and work in peace and contentment? China is not Europe and the United States, what foreign countries can allow, we may not be able to allow, thousands of years of inheritance, a country of virtue and benevolence, how can we sit idly by and watch the people homeless? The price of houses can be regulated and controlled, and the supply of housing for residents can also be increased, at least so that ordinary people can have houses to live in, is this the truth? ”

Gu Weijun replied cautiously: "What the emperor said is very true. ”

There happened to be nothing else to do for the time being, and since Gu Weijun didn't have too much to do today, Song Biao asked him to accompany him to the Cizheng Garden on the west side of the imperial study to take a turn, take a walk, and take a walk.

Xuanzheng Garden is the main palace of the Central Palace, located on the west side of the Imperial Palace of the Main Palace, and is also the square where the emperor often works and lives, Xuanzheng Garden continues to the west is the Cizheng Garden, which is a traditional Jiangnan garden, artificially piled up a winding mountain stream of a large-scale rockery, also known as the Creek Garden.

Song Biaoping said that if he was tired of reading or working, he would go to the Cizheng Garden for a walk, and sometimes if it was a less formal gathering, he would also buy it here.

After taking a walk by the stream for a while, Song Biao sorted out his thoughts in his heart, and then told Gu Weijun beside him: "China is different from other countries in the world, we can't simply develop capitalism, nor can we simply develop socialism, which means that we must take a middle line, so we are now advocating the liberal nationalist line." We want freedom and nationality, and China's national spirit and political tradition are consistent, and this is the idea of benevolent government. We must give our people a richer life, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, and we must make everyone rich. Rising housing prices are certainly conducive to economic growth and employment, but it is not right to leave people without a permanent place to live and a piece of home. The essence of Chinese culture lies in the moderation and benevolence, which is the golden mean. Those who are benevolent will help the world. Both the central and local governments must implement this idea, show compassion to the people, take care of the poor, support the rich and the good, uphold the principle of justice, treat all countries well, and make no distinction between the weak and the rich and the strong. As for housing prices, I think we must balance and regulate them as soon as possible, so that housing prices can return to good growth, but relying on the political axe to introduce policies to curb housing prices can only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, what the political axe should do is to provide more public housing, rent it to the people cheaply, so that the people can live in a better environment, in the countryside, in the city, the political axe should be paid. However, we should also limit the power and responsibility of the political axe, too large the political axe is not easy to manage, and corruption and fraud will emerge in an endless stream, so in the matter of public housing, the political axe should be responsible for donating funds to social institutions, rather than directly responsible for the political axe, and at the same time, we should also call on all sectors of society to jointly build office housing. ”

Gu Weijun has been thinking very carefully, and only after Song Biao finished saying these words did he reply: "What the emperor said is very true, after the ministers go back, they will definitely step up the argumentation of this matter, and after the cabinet is determined and the parliament approves, the political axe must go all out to supervise this matter, and take benevolent government as the center of the political axe to govern and love the people." ”

Song Biao nodded, and did not continue to discuss the issue of public housing and housing prices.

Real estate investment is always a major channel for market investment, and this is normal.

There are a group of special rich people in every era, the rich people in this era of the empire first came from the soybean era, that was before the First World War, there were countless people who got rich by planting soybeans in the eastern part of the country, and there were more people who got rich by reselling soybeans, coal, iron ore, and silk in the northeast.

Another turbulent stage after that was the Empire's 175 Industrial Programs, in which a large number of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs and technical engineers were selected by the 175 Projects, and a large number of new enterprises were founded with the support of the political axe, thus opening the curtain of the Empire's modern industry.

In the past 30 years, there have been many people who have accumulated huge amounts of money, whether they are speculating in stocks or reselling coal and soybeans.

In the process of social development, the country's economy is open, and there will always be more and more wealthy citizens, and their funds need to find investment channels, and the number of the middle class in the whole country has begun to increase to a higher level and become the pillar of the country, and their wealth also needs a more reasonable investment channel.

The simplest of this channel is real estate, especially in big cities like Shanghai, Yanjing, Guangzhou, and Shenyang, where the price of houses is always rising, and to alleviate this rise, in addition to introducing some tax policies that restrict the surname, the most fundamental way is to create good investment channels for the people, such as the stable development of the securities and corporate bond markets.

An appropriate increase in the interest rate on treasury bonds is itself the simplest way to manage money.

In addition to putting forward a series of policy proposals to Gu Weijun's cabinet during the period of exchange rate increase, Song Biao has not had too many discussions with Gu Weijun on the work of the cabinet in the past two years, nor have he had too many suggestions and requirements.

This is not that Song Biao is very satisfied with the work of Gu Weijun's cabinet, but he hopes that China's constitutional monarchy can continue to move forward steadily, and the central cabinet should be responsible for political axes, and if there are mistakes, they must bear mistakes.

Today is just such an opportunity, Song Biao still decided to discuss internal affairs with Gu Weijun, whether to adopt it or not depends on Gu Weijun's own ideas, he did not force the cabinet's ideas.

The two of them walked by the stream of Nianci Garden, talked while walking, and would also find a place to sit down and talk.

In particular, in the two years since the establishment of the Asian League, the Gu Weijun cabinet has done a very good job in its external work, and has also begun to gradually strengthen its infiltration and influence on Nepal, Sikkim, and other countries on the Sino-Indian border, and has continued to adopt a policy of division in the plateau areas of Shan State in northern Myanmar.

The empire focused central foreign aid on Iran, while demanding that Iran assume more of the Asian League's military responsibility in the Middle East.

It's just that in domestic affairs, Gu Weijun's cabinet basically continued the general policy of his predecessor Ouyang Geng, and did not promote new ideas according to the development of the empire.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Biao also criticized it.

The empire has developed to today's level and international status, and it is difficult for the past planning to adapt to today's situation, for example, in terms of the gap between the rich and the poor, it is definitely worse than before, and with the gradual recovery of the economic situation of the countries in the world, if you want to continue to maintain the leading position of the empire in science and technology, you must have a larger scale of investment and policy guidance.

Education, security, economy, medical ...... In all respects, the empire is actually facing an emerging major change, if the reform in this area is done well in advance, the empire can still develop steadily, if it cannot do these things well in advance, social contradictions will intensify, and the country's development will also encounter obstacles.

Song Biao has some views on this, first of all, he advocated the establishment of three middle countries with "medium tax, middle income, and medium welfare", and continued to promote the popularization of secondary and higher vocational education, so that the empire is more biased towards industrial countries than financial countries, China's population is too large, and financial service countries cannot really solve most of the employment problems, even Britain can't do it.

Therefore, China's goal is to become a leading industrial power in the world, to be a developed country with "medium taxation, middle income, and medium welfare", and this three-medium policy is also the most conducive to industrial development, the higher the tax, income, and welfare, the greater the obstacles to industrial development, and on the contrary, it is easy to make the overall level of national industry too concentrated in the field of low-level industry and basic light industry.

Around this goal, the empire must have a national public housing plan and national health insurance, pension insurance, the characteristics of national welfare are not high, but comprehensive, equal and comprehensive for all, but not too high, so as not to exert too much pressure on the political axe's finances, but drag down the long-term competitiveness of the national economy, so that the political axe can remain in the national economic environment with medium taxes for a long time.

The 175 industrial plans and the 1540 education plan that began in the era of Tang Shaoyi's cabinet are obviously very inappropriate now, and the industrial plan must be adjusted, and a new 10-year long-term industrial development program must be formulated, and the development of enterprises should be supported through market policies, rather than direct investment by political axes.

With the development of colleges and vocational schools across the country, the empire now needs to establish a number of world-class institutions of higher learning and a large number of more rigorous, efficient and excellent vocational colleges.

In particular, in terms of high-tech and high-quality personnel training, the empire should establish a more comprehensive national elite talent strategy.

In the past, China pursued the growth of overseas public-funded, self-funded and socially funded study abroad, requiring 10,000 people to be sent every year, but now it is pursuing a new level of 10,000 doctoral students, and continues to select thousands of doctoral students overseas every year through public-funded, self-funded and social funds, and maintains the plan of 10,000 doctoral students studying abroad.

Song Biao's idea is to launch a "Wan Hai Bo" plan, whether it is to send foreign students abroad, or to invite foreign doctors to work and start businesses in China, the overall range of 10,000 overseas doctors entering China to work in China should be maintained, and the doctoral education in China should be further strengthened, the funds for studying for doctoral studies should still be half funded by the state and half of the loans, undergraduate and college education needs to ensure that all students can get enough student loans, and secondary colleges will continue to maintain compulsory free education.

In the field of scientific research, the 201 Project should continue to expand its scale, give tax support and policy support to enterprise scientific research, give special fund loans, and closely cooperate with the 201 Project through the establishment of new industrial plans to ensure the common progress of industry and science and technology.

Song Biao's idea is more romantic, not necessarily really feasible, even if his plan is passed, how the cabinet plans and implements it is very difficult, so he does not require Premier Gu Weijun to advance according to his vision.

Of course, he also made a proposal after careful consideration of the existing problems in the country, not to mention that he was the emperor after all, and he could abolish the current cabinet at any time if he wished.

Gu Weijun has been listening carefully very carefully, in fact, these suggestions have inspired him a lot, and they seem to have pointed out the direction for him, he must be a very good diplomat, but as the prime minister, he still lacks his own unique way of thinking.

He just felt that the emperor's suggestion was too grandiose, and it was too difficult to do everything in every detail, thinking back to the past, it seemed that Tang Shaoyi's cabinet had opened such a magnificent situation, but it was a time when everything was in ruins, and he had to do it, and the country was working together from top to bottom.

At this time, Zhang Jun, the chief of the Central Military Intelligence Department, had already arrived at Xuanzheng Garden and was waiting for the emperor's reception, and Jiang Yanxing, who lived in Tongzhou, was also on the way, and he would arrive in half an hour.

Song Biao got up and made a final exhortation to Gu Weijun: "Weijun, as the prime minister of the empire, you should have the courage to open up thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. You are the prime minister of China, not the prime minister of a small country like France and Ben, and you have to govern not only one China, but also half of Asia, or even one Asia and half of the world. ”

Gu Weijun nodded silently yes, and kept thinking about all this that the emperor said in his heart.

He also knew in his heart that although the big plans mentioned by the emperor were difficult to handle, they would basically represent everything that he needed to handle in the past ten or even fifteen years of his tenure as prime minister.

If he can do it and do it brilliantly, not only will the empire really become the hegemon of the world since then, but his status as the premier of the empire in history will also surpass the previous two terms, surpass his father-in-law Tang Shaoyi, and become the most famous and highly meritorious minister since the founding of the empire.

Speaking of which, Gu Weijun was able to defeat Chen Qicai and Wang Zhaoming in the party election, in addition to being born as the chief of the emperor's inner court, and belonging to the backbone of the imperial faction together with Chen Qicai and Wang Zhaoming, and dispersing the support of the imperial faction, he was also born as a foreign minister and controlled his own foreign affairs faction, and Tang Shaoyi's residual power in the empire and the Guangfu Party was also a very important support.

After saying the last advice, Song Biao asked Gu Weijun to accompany him to see Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun.

This is a character worth talking about.

This intelligence chief, who started from the Second Staff Bureau of the Northeast Military Department, has basically never fought a real big battle, and has been working in the intelligence agency since he entered the army, and has now been immersed in silver in the intelligence world for nearly 30 years.

To a certain extent, it also represents a characteristic of Zhang Jun and the Central Military Intelligence Department, that is, the intelligence network is accessible and concealed.

The intelligence work of the empire has always been highly valued, and every year thousands of people are recruited from the army and colleges and universities to conduct secret training at the Zhongtiao Mountain base in Shanxi.

In various countries and regions around the world, the empire's intelligence agencies can recruit foreign staff and double agents, even in countries like Su Deyue, the imperial intelligence agencies have dragged a group of important personnel into the water, always keeping an eye on the military, science and technology, politics, espionage and other information of various countries.

Among the three major intelligence agencies and leaders of the Central Military Intelligence Department, the General Intelligence Bureau, and the Central Secret Service of the Empire, Zhang Jun has the deepest qualifications, and he is also a staff officer and an intelligence officer in the Inner Court during the Northeast Army era, and is known for being the most trusted by the emperor.

Of course, he is indeed worthy of the emperor's trust.

This man is extremely forbidden to women, not greedy for money, not good at gambling, has no bad character, and spends 20 of the 24 hours a day in the Ministry of Military Intelligence.

Song Biao returned to the imperial study in Xuanzheng Garden, and after seeing Zhang Jun, he asked him to sit down with Gu Weijun, Song Biao himself sat on the soft floor very casually, and asked Zhang Jun: "Why did you come back early?" ”

Zhang Jun replied: "I originally planned to take time to go to Yemen in the middle, but I canceled this plan temporarily. ”

Song Biao sighed: "The situation in Yemen is also chaotic, and it is not a good thing on the Ethiopian side, but the most worrying thing in front of us is Spain." Therefore, the country of France is not sober-minded, whether it is the Soviet Union or Germany controlling Spain, it is not beneficial to him, only harmful, and he should make every effort to prevent this, but they are good, they are the hands of the master, and any Soviet Union will send people and weapons to Spain. ”

Zhang Jun was also quite dissatisfied, and said: "We have twice advised France and our country to maintain a unified position, but Alp. President Lebrun believed that the Spanish left-wing parties had an alliance with them, ostensibly agreeing to align themselves with our country, but in fact secretly opening a route to the Soviet Union. ”

Song Biao sneered: "Now even France is starting to have a black belly." ”

Zhang Jun thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, France is originally a very black-bellied country, but the black-bellied tricks are just a little too crude, and now this situation can't count on France." Before I returned to Japan, I had reached an agreement with General Franco, the commander of the military forces of Spain's overseas colonies, that he would be willing to maintain extremely close relations with us for a long time, and that he would guarantee all our special interests in Spain and its colonies, provided that we fully supported him in the elimination of the ultra-leftist forces. ”

Song Biao thought for a moment, and emphasized together with Zhang Jun and Gu Weijun: "The relationship between China and Spain can still be further developed, if we want to contain the Monroe Doctrine of the United States, we must join forces with Spain, and if we want to contain Britain's hegemony in Africa, we must join forces with France to contain them, so that we can develop more easily." There are more and more problems between China and France, especially after the continuous improvement of Sino-British and Franco-British relations, as well as the increase in Sino-French economic disputes, the contradictions between China and France have been greater than cooperation, in this case, we should actively strengthen cooperation with Spain, and it is precisely for this reason that we must give strong intervention in the current situation in Spain, I propose that retired officers and soldiers be transferred within the Asian League, and a free coalition army should be formed to fight in Spain, and support the political axe that is completely inclined to our country to come to power, Prevent Spain from drifting to the far left or the far right. ”

Gu Weijun thought cautiously for a while, and replied to Song Biao: "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that this matter will thoroughly plan the contradictions between our country and the Soviet Union and Germany. ”

Song Biao said: "In the past, we were still more worried about intensifying the contradictions between China and the Soviet Union and China and Germany, but now there is no need for this, and the problem of the Soviet Union will be solved sooner or later. Considering that we may also intervene in the Ethiopian issue, then the contradiction between us and Italy will also be completely intensified, and the contradiction with the German-Italian fascist alliance will intensify sooner or later. ”

Zhang Jun replied first: "The emperor is sage." ”

Gu Weijun didn't know how to answer for the time being, and after thinking about it, he replied: "What the emperor said is very true. ”

Song Biao was still thinking about some other questions in his heart, and after a while, he asked the two of them: "Do you think you should break the alliance with France now?" ”

These words surprised Zhang Jun and Gu Weijun. Since Lebrun and the French Radical Republican Party came to power, Sino-French relations have been reversing, but they have really not reached the point where they want to break the alliance.

The two were silent, staring at each other, neither of them knowing how to answer.

In fact, it is not a matter of a day or two that Song Biao is thinking about ending the Sino-French alliance, but now there is just such an opportunity, and once China ends the Sino-French alliance, it will actually have the opportunity to completely get rid of the threat of World War II.

China could even maintain a policy of riding the wall throughout World War II as long as it wanted to, unaffected by the war.

Even if it had to go to war against the war, China could continue to watch the war after the battle, instead of sending troops to participate in the war in Europe, unless Britain and France continued to make great concessions to China.

This is clearly the most favorable situation for China.

Since China's development, there is no need to prove its value and strength through the strong performance of World War II, and it is the royal choice to continue to make a fortune in World War II and become the strongest empire in the world.

(To be continued)
