The first target plane.

This time was around mid-March 1944. In the European theater of World War II, after a relatively long period of rest and accumulation in winter, the German army and the Soviet army finally recovered some strength and prepared to carry out a new "mutual pinch", continuing the war of attrition of national strength with no end in sight.

The former, because it was more than half a year earlier than the history of the main plane, entered a state of general mobilization for the national war, which can also be said to be a state of general mobilization for the whole of Europe. In this way, although the living standards of the German people began to decline somewhat, the overall strength of the German army increased significantly. In addition, the excellent performance of the jet "six masters" made the strategic bombing plan launched by the Stars and Stripes Republic and the British Empire in the hinterland of Germany more and more ineffective, and the loss of planes and pilots became more and more large, so that although the whole Germany did not have the kind of devastation at the beginning of the war, they still had firm confidence in achieving final victory. Hitler himself continued to maintain passionate public speeches, and only the fat man looked at the list of war losses caused by the 300 "Six Masters" for various reasons in distress, and repeated German curse words such as "damned Bismarck, hateful Bismarck, Bismarck whose shit has not yet appeared" in his mouth.

On the other hand, although the total losses of the Soviet army at the beginning of 1944 had exceeded 1.8 times that of the same period in the history of the main plane, it finally survived by relying on Stalin's iron-fisted policy and the violent "elimination" of the problem by the production supervision group. Of course, I have to mention Yan Huang's great help here. Due to the smooth implementation of the exchange and supply of cultural relics, the public resentment and anger in the western European theater of the Soviet Union, as well as the central munitions production base, have suddenly eased a lot. With truckloads of grain transported from the Yanhuang Continent one after another, the workers of the large and small military factories on Lake Baikal can finally eat and drink porridge. Of course, due to the coordination of the army, there will always be a reason for some supplies to support the front line to disappear. For the first time, soldiers on the front line could smoke filter cigarettes, chew luncheon meat, drink a small amount of vodka, and leisurely discuss resonant topics such as damned deco, untrustworthy star-striped guys, and big-breasted women in rooms with kerosene lamps or closed trenches, so as to dispel the loneliness and fear brought about by the war that lasted for several years.

As for the remaining British Empire in northwestern Europe, it was now trying to explain to the Stars and Stripes the importance of the European battlefield and the high relevance of British India to the security of the global war. Roosevelt himself was hesitant whether to launch a small landing campaign in Europe first, or to rely on India to fight the Japanese in the Indian Ocean and the Indian subcontinent (by this time the African campaign was almost over, and millions of ground combat troops were resting and ready to fight).

Yanhuang Continent, Beijing.

At this time, Beijing has completely changed from half a year ago. Because Wang Fan considered that the "black technology" was best concealed for a period of time, and in addition, considering the overall protection of Beijing's "living" cultural relics, the first target plane of Beijing's city walls, archways and large roofs where the main plane disappeared was preserved as much as possible, and in accordance with the principle of repairing the old as the old, under the guidance of the expert restoration team sent from Shanxi, there was a plan and arrangement for gradual repair.

In this way, Beijing's future urban planning will be greatly transformed. In order to completely change the Beijing of the future generations, Wang Fan was a "big city disease" of congestion, traffic jams, and the concentration of all resources in the city center. According to Yadea's suggestion, the Beijing New Town was built as a whole not far from the old city of Beijing. The new city adopts a three-dimensional transportation network, with a large number of subway and intersection viaducts, supplemented by orderly building construction, making it a fully functional new capital (with subway and bus to and from the old city). Former residents in Beijing can be allocated a house of sufficient size in the new city for free on a family basis according to the standards set earlier in the northwest (only a small amount of public rent is required to pay a small monthly rent to maintain the daily maintenance of the house in the future). As for the various officials and high-ranking military officials who have moved from the border area government, in consideration of the objective existence of mountaineering and the actual cultural and national conditions of Yan and Huang, they have deliberately made arrangements in accordance with the following methods:

According to the official statistics of Yanhuang in 2012, there are 703 provincial and ministerial-level cadres in the country, and about half of them will work and live in Beijing, that is, about 350 (including the democratic parties, ministries and commissions of the State Council, and the highest levels of the military). When these people were in office, they lived in the large and small courtyards that had been recovered in the old city of Beijing (recaptured from the hands of the Japanese and the traitors). However, all of them stated in advance that this is an "official residence system", where everyone can live with their families when they are in office, and they must move out after leaving office to make room for their successors, and the media will carry out strict and effective supervision. After leaving office, ministerial-level officials can return to their respective welfare housing built according to a slightly higher standard, and from retirement until their death, they can still enjoy the welfare measures such as nannies, cooks, drivers, and guards paid by the government (the cost is announced every year), and continue until the death of their spouses. However, it is specifically proposed that his immediate children do not inherit any property and benefits themselves.

In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the future, local governments will also implement the same policy to avoid the situation of the provincial party committee compound, the provincial governor's compound, the municipal party committee compound, and the mayor's compound in later generations. After the secretary of the provincial party committee resigns, his house will not be repossessed, but will continue to live (the location environment is often the best), and after his death, the children of high-ranking officials who rely on the mountains and water often continue to occupy these properties and sell them for a profit. Due to the blind spots in the law and the sophistication of the people within the government, the courtyard houses and celebrity residences that were allocated to various leaders to live in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China have been transformed from state property into private property.

Therefore, Wang Fan set up rules from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China: Do you want to be an official? Please follow this, if you don't want to leave, then the media and newspapers that are in control of different democratic parties and snobbery will rush to report on it, forming an atmosphere of mutual supervision, and whoever is the first bird will die first!

Second, according to the official statistics of Yanhuang in 2012, there are 10,160 officials at the vice-ministerial level and below, and for such a large number, taking into account the cumulative base of future retirement, there are also bureau level, deputy bureau level, department (county) level, and deputy (county) department level. So Yan Huang can't afford it and doesn't want to raise it!

As a result, these people do not enjoy the official residence system, and all of them live in the welfare housing to which they are assigned. In fact, because the new welfare house is directly built in accordance with the standards of later generations, the lighting, comfort, rationality and ventilation designed are incomparable to the ancient houses of Yanhuang. In terms of life enjoyment alone, in addition to the so-called "official authority" and vanity brought by the official residence of the ancient house, even if it has been connected to electricity and water, living in the ancient house is really not as comfortable as the (large-area) welfare house built. In addition, from the earthen cave to the modern brand-new building, the living and office environment has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the unstable mountain, the people's hearts and internal turmoil that Wang Fan has been worried about have not appeared at all. After the first announcement of officials' property, nursing and welfare expenditures, whether officials have opinions or not, they also acquiesced to this method (or how to drip ^_^ it), and the vast majority of the people can understand after seeing it, after all, what they can enjoy are very old senior "old revolutionaries". In addition, the people themselves can live in houses with similar living standards (relatively small in size), and there is no special "envy, jealousy and hatred".

The old city of Beijing, the east auspicious alley of Di'anmen.

There is a large courtyard house with seventy-nine rooms. The quaint shape and walls of the house, the imaginable wide courtyard inside, and the few rugged branches protruding from above the courtyard wall all indicate the extraordinaryness of this place.

A car drove slowly past the neighborhood, and the secretary Chang Qian was pulling the driver Zhou Yang to choose a house for his ministerial-level chief. Although Wang Fan has standardized the general direction and details of the official residence system as much as possible. But the smart Yanhuang people can still find workarounds from it, such as: which is also the official residence of the ministerial, which alley are you in, which alley am I in; How big is your yard, how big is mine; The number of your homes, the number of my homes; The number of calligraphy and paintings of the furniture in your house, the number of calligraphy and paintings of the furniture in my house, etc. These elements, which are related to their own "face" and "status", have been integrated with the bone marrow and blood of the Yanhuang people through the influence of thousands of years of feudal culture in Yanhuang and Huang, and have become the unwritten "unspoken rules" of officialdom under the stage.

"This courtyard is good, and the chief and his wife should be very satisfied." After the car circled around the large courtyard a few times, the secretary Chang Qian saw the overall layout and appearance of the courtyard, and kept nodding and commenting. However, what made him frown a little was that several large and small, orthodox, front and rear entrances of the large quadrangle were all guarded with loaded guns, which made him very worried that Minghua already had a master.

"Zhou Yang, you ask the guards or other drivers in private to see if you can find out if there is an owner of this house, and whether it has been decided?"

"Understand, permanent secretary, you just wait for my good news."

That night.

"You said you have been decided, do you know who it is? Our chiefs are ranked very high and have a very high status. When the permanent secretary heard this, he frowned and asked. You must know that the chief's spouse and children have always hoped that they can find an official residence that matches their "status", and it is easy to find one, but it was occupied in advance.

"They only said that their surname was Tang, and they didn't know the specifics. However, they said that they could ask the Minister of Defense or Director Zhao of the Central Guard Bureau, who had always been in charge of day-to-day affairs. ”

"Minister Fang (Vice) and Director Zhao (Vice)?" Secretary Chang Qian was shocked when he heard this, knowing that the former is known as the first vice minister of the Ministry of National Defense, while the latter is directly responsible for the day-to-day security of the Politburo Standing Committee, and his rank, status, and power are very high. Although his own leader is also in a high position, he seems to be a little worse than them. After thinking about it, Chang Qian still decided to report truthfully to his leader, and as for how to choose, the leader made his own decision.

The next day, Chang Qian's chief made several phone calls.

On the third day, when the secretary Chang Qian went to find out the results. The chief spoke directly: "I think the compound in Hejiakou in the East Forty Tiao (one of the other two sets of plans proposed by the secretary Chang Qian) is very good, I heard that in summer, the elm leaves and plums there are dense like fire, thick smoke, and blooming outside the wall, Madame should also like it, you go and settle there." ”

"Yes!" Chang Qian, the secretary with high emotional intelligence, did not hesitate and immediately left the house to handle the matter, and never mentioned the house in Dongjixiang Hutong in Di'anmen from then on. It wasn't until one time that I accidentally learned that the owner of this house was surnamed Tang Mingwei, in his forties, and was born overseas Chinese. On the contribution form, only a very simple sentence was written: Tang Wei, a patriotic overseas Chinese, sold his property, supported the Anti-Japanese War, and was the founder and implementer of the modern army of the Yanhuanghong Party.
