In July 1946, when the news of the great victory in the Far East reached the Republic, the whole world rejoiced.

“…… In the early battles for the liberation of the Far East, our brave Wehrmacht soldiers fought bravely without fear of sacrifice and hardship, and won a great victory in the campaign with the momentum of devastating and decaying.

According to the authoritative news released by the Ministry of Defense earlier, our army captured hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops and recaptured millions of square kilometers of land in the Battle of Iron Hoof, and the huge Far East has become the second region with the ability to establish a province after Beihai Province.

At present, our army is stepping up its offensive in the Far East to encircle the Japanese army......"

After the news came back, Wei Sancai, Minister of Propaganda of the Republic, personally attended the press conference of the base camp to the outside world, and then the Ministry of National Defense also held a press conference.

After the launch, the top brass of the Republic gave a detailed account of the current great victories of the Wehrmacht in the Far East and gave the highest level of praise to some advanced individual events.

With the voices from the highest echelons of the republic, all major television stations, major newspapers and periodicals, and major radio stations in China made a series of reports on this unprecedented victory.

Millions of troops were concentrated, and a large-scale foreign war was carried out since the Republic entered the war, capturing hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, defeating millions of Soviet troops, and driving the American army all the way to the northeast of the Far East.

Since China entered the war, it has won many victories, but it is not as big as this victory, especially the first time that the Wehrmacht has confronted millions of allied troops on the frontal battlefield, although there are many unknown accidental and unexpected factors, and there are also factors that say that I do not cooperate with the allies, but in short, the collision of millions of armies on both sides finally ended in a step-by-step victory for the Wehrmacht.

Although the Far Eastern armies are still fighting the trapped beasts, in the face of the millions of Wehrmacht troops concentrating their forces to besiege them, it will be very fast to be divided and surrounded.

The concentration of air forces to bomb the strait and bomb the Wehrmacht air force units in the country has even lowered the hope of the Wehrmacht army returning from crossing the sea to the minimum.

Every day, the army faced seemingly endless shelling and air raids, supplies began to run short, ammunition, food, and medicine were particularly insufficient, and the encirclement of the Wehrmacht was getting smaller and smaller.

Against this background, the prestige of the Baath Party and the National Defense Forces has risen to an unprecedented height, and since the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have finally reached the top after being repeatedly promoted, and the prestige of Zhang Shusheng, the founder of all this, the head of the republic, who is still young in the eyes of the people, and Zhang Shusheng, chairman of the Supreme Power Committee of the Republic, has rushed all the way to the peak.

An atmosphere of deification of the Führer is unstoppably unstoppable.

Since the early years of the school hung Zhang Shusheng's personal portrait, and repeatedly banned, this kind of extreme worship of Zhang Shusheng began to spread to all levels of society, every household has a portrait of Zhang Shusheng's head of state, and Zhang Shusheng's personal portrait is also hung on the tower of the People's Square in Hanjing...... The people spontaneously worshiped and pledged allegiance to the greatest Führer, the greatest Chinese leader of all time.

Zhang Shusheng himself does not recognize this extreme worship, after all, there are many histories to learn from in the original history.

However, this era is completely different from the lessons of history that he knew.

First of all, the Republic has achieved far more than any other period, reaching the pinnacle of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and will continue to do so. The people have developed an unprecedented sense of pride in the tremendous achievements made by the Chinese nation at all levels, from social economy, to culture and education, to politics and war.

Secondly, the people believed that the great Führer had brought all this, and that in Chinese history, the highest worship was nothing more than the manifestation of imperial power. After hundreds of years of Manchu slavery and then the fall of the whole country, today's new republic gives people the greatest hope and the greatest satisfaction.

Discussions of the restoration of the monarchy began in small newspapers, then spread to some of the larger newspapers, and then began to publish such free discussions in many official newspapers, even Baath Party newspapers.

Most people believe that the monarchy should be restored, and some enlightened people believe that it would be better to be able to implement a new monarchy that is different from the traditional monarchy and the Western constitutional monarchy.

Especially when the Far East won a great victory, the situation in the republic was unprecedentedly good, and Zhang Shusheng's prestige finally reached the top, this call for the implementation of the imperial system reached the highest.

"Chairman of the National Committee, the people very much hope that the new China will have an emperor who can be compared with the ancestors of the Tang and Song dynasties, and for the restoration of the imperial system, the current mainstream voice is that they hope that there will be an imperial system that conforms to the characteristics of our republic, and that there is a certain difference from the traditional imperial system.

Now the whole country is desperate for their voices to be heard, and everyone is hoping that the political axe will take a stand this morning. Some non-governmental petition organizations even stayed in Hanjing and did not leave......"

Sun Changqing, vice chairman of the Supreme Power Committee, Wei Sancai, director of the Propaganda Department, Zhou Guolai, premier of the Government Council, and Luo Feng, the head teacher, were specially invited to Zhang Shusheng's office, bringing a lot of materials, and preparing to persuade Zhang Shusheng again.

It was Wei Sancai who spoke, he was engaged in political propaganda work, and he also knew the current situation best.

Sun Changqing is the highest status among these people, and he is Zhang Shusheng's godfather, he didn't speak from beginning to end, just listened quietly.

Zhang Shusheng was smoking a cigarette while thinking about something, but he was not in a hurry to express his position. As a matter of fact, he has made such statements many times, from the initial opposition, to the later disapproval and non-opposition, and then to the fact that he really couldn't bear the high-level military and political leaders every once in a while, and all kinds of euphemisms openly and secretly asked for instructions, and he had to say that the time was not ripe.

He was not absolutely opposed to the restoration of the imperial system.

Judging from the situation of the republic, as long as he Zhang Shu survives for one day and reigns for one day, the entire Chinese nation will not move towards the evil surname incident caused by the cult of personality.

As a person who has stepped from a small person in the market to the pinnacle of the highest power, Zhang Shusheng has in mind the future development path of the entire Chinese nation, the entire earth civilization, and the entire Greater Chinese civilization.

In the face of absolute power, he is not afraid of conspiracy, does not worry about others subverting, and does not want to be hot-headed to burn books and pit Confucianism, he is a civilization leader who has worked hard to develop the Chinese nation and develop Chinese civilization step by step.

Therefore, whether it is an emperor or a head of state, it is all a title.

And the so-called imperial system cannot return to the previous era of seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courts, pedantic, decadent, degenerate, and conservative.

Compared with the scattered republic system and the federation and alliance system, the imperial system can concentrate more on the development of civilization, especially in foreign wars to expand the territory, and to reform and develop the economy internally to improve people's livelihood.

In particular, Zhang Shusheng has a long life, unlimited potential, almost invincible strength in the open and in the dark, and a determination to develop civilization.

And for people, there is a sense of uneasiness in this kind of good momentum, and they are desperate to grasp something, to reassure themselves, to let themselves see hope.

Believing and worshiping a person is because he feels that he can do it, and what he can't do can be pinned on him.

At this point, Zhang Shusheng can understand the people's thoughts.

An ordinary person who envies and worships a martial artist is because he is powerful and has superhuman strength. An ordinary person envies and admires a star because he has a beautiful appearance, a temperament that looks comfortable, or a beautiful singing voice or acting skills.

As hundreds of millions of people, they worship a leader to the extreme, hoping that he can become a king of God, in the final analysis, they are frightened by hundreds of years of poor history, and they are afraid that one day the world they live in will return to the way it was.

They didn't think that there was anyone else besides Zhang Shusheng who could lead them to strength, and they didn't think that the chairmanship of a supreme power committee could reward this great man.

They believe that only the position of the emperor who is the highest and above hundreds of millions of people can be worthy of him, can he be constantly spurred on, and can he continue to lead the nation forward.

"Godfather, what do you think!"

Zhang Shusheng turned his head to look at Sun Changqing, although he had faded out of the political level of the republic and no longer held his actual position, he still retained the deputy position of vice chairman of the Supreme Power Committee.

Zhang Shusheng doesn't see him outside in peace, even if it is this kind of private military and political meeting, he is still called a godfather, which is frank and unrestrained.

"As long as you have the whole nation in your heart, whether you are an emperor or a head of state, it is the same. I think that the imperial system, if implemented properly, is stronger than other systems. ”

Sun Changqing simply said that this time they invited the old man to finally convince Zhang Shusheng and let him come up with an accurate statement.

"Chairman, I also support it, a Chinese empire should not just shout on the slogan, but also have an actual system, the modern imperial system is different from the ancient times, we should not be afraid of it."

Premier Zhou Guolai also expressed his position, and in the previous repeated 'petitions' of military and political dignitaries, Sun Changqing and Zhou Guolai were the only two people who did not express their stance for a long time. It's not because they don't support the restoration of the imperial system, but because the positions of the two are too critical to be taken back once they express themselves easily.

Luo Feng opened his mouth, but he didn't speak in the end, he was one of the first people to express his position, and he was there in almost every 'petition and persuasion'.

Zhang Shusheng sighed lightly and said, "Since this is the case, I will not continue to shirk it." We will first set up an imperial investigation committee to conduct a nationwide survey on the restoration of the imperial system, taking into account all aspects, focusing on the people's livelihood and the voice of the people.

There is no need to be particularly anxious about the time, when the war in the Far East is over and the final results are in place for the entire Far East, it is enough for the committee to draw a final conclusion, and remember that it is necessary to accept the supervision of the people, to embody the will of the people, and not to engage in conspiracy.

As for the framework of this imperial system, I have a preliminary idea, the imperial system cannot follow the old system, the existing military and political departments at all levels under the imperial system will not change, and a supreme civilization council will be retained above the imperial system.

If a new imperial system is introduced, this supreme civilization committee will be the absolute guarantee of checking and balancing imperial power. ”
