A morning passed amid the sound of various summary reports, and in his final speech at the meeting, Chen Shao emphasized a new task.

"The military has won a complete victory in Southeast Asia, and now the entire Southeast Asian region and the Philippines have been taken by the military. These two places are a matter of stability in the southern part of the empire, and the Prime Minister's Department must come up with a list and plan as soon as possible, and the Minister of Statistics and Planning must also carry out the latest survey of the territory and the investigation report on the situation of the civilian population as soon as possible.

Don't be stingy with the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the people of all ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, and try to satisfy the people there if they have little. At the same time, the education department should also draw up a draft as soon as possible, and at the beginning of next year, it will draw up a plan for the implementation of basic education. In accordance with tradition, the cost of education continues to be allocated by the Crown.

The most important step was to reassure the people as soon as possible, so that the people of the pilot cities could go to various regions to propagate the policies of the empire. At the same time, proclamations were to be issued to express the policy of the empire in detail. Finally, I would like to add that the Empire's policy of benefiting the people has remained unchanged for fifty years.

These things are supervised and carried out by Wei Ren himself. Whoever dares to derelict his duties and slack off will be severely punished.

Now that the meeting is adjourned, Wei Ren and Zhongli will stay, and the others can leave. ”

Soon, only Chen Shao, Weiren and Zhongli were left in the Qinzheng Palace, and even Wang Jie left. The door to the Hall of Diligence was closed once again.

"How were you resting these two days?" Seeing that the two of them were full of energy, Chen Shao still asked specially.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, we are in good spirits now." Wei Ren and Zhongli replied at the same time.

"Do you know what I left you behind?" Chen Shao took out a thick folder from the drawer of the desk, and then spoke.

"I don't know. Your Majesty, please! Zhongli and Weiren both shook their heads.

"Let me start with a question for you. Do you say, will the empire win this war? Chen Shao was not in a hurry, and asked questions slowly.

"The Empire will never be defeated!" Wei Ren was the first to speak, and as soon as he spoke, he said in a very positive tone, but this sentence was also very interesting, he only said the word undefeated, and did not say anything like victory. Because at this moment, he didn't know what Chen Shao's question meant.

"The Empire will triumph." Zhong left the mouth. Don't look at the two of them, the answers are similar, but the meaning in them is much worse. One will not lose, the other will win. These are two completely different meanings.

"Why won't you lose. Why will it win. Chen Shao's face was as usual, and he spoke again.

"Don't look at the military strength of Japan and the United States combined, it is very strong, and there is a polar bear in the north to help it. But the empire has developed a level of warfare that is higher than that of the United States and Japan. And it doesn't matter whether it's the quality of the soldiers or the advanced degree of weapons and equipment. Add to that the Empire's strong industrial potential and countless military resources. This war. We will win. Zhongli was the first to speak. There was one sentence he did not say. He knows his boss too well, and if he is not sure of winning, Chen Shao will not let China join the war.

"What the minister means. No matter what the situation is, we will not be defeated. Weren's words are simple, and they also reveal a sense of self-confidence in the country's strength. Whatever the case may be, it's not simple at all. As the saying goes, there are no absolutes in the world, and the fact that he can say such things has already explained everything.

"Huh!" Chen Shao got up, couldn't help laughing, and said, "You two have more confidence than the generals of the military!" Do you know the strength of the U.S.-Japan alliance? Do you know how many troops the USSR placed in the Far East? Do you know why the USSR did not launch a counteroffensive against Germany this year, this is because the USSR did not have the strength to counterattack? ”

The smile on Chen Shao's face, and the questions he raised, made Zhongli and Weiren wonder what medicine Chen Shao was selling in this gourd?

"Together, the United States and Japan alone can exceed 20 million in a short period of time, which is four times that of our current army. Together with the Soviet Union's more than three million troops in the Far East, we are surrounded by at least more than fifteen million troops from the Allies. Of these, there are more than 40,000 combat aircraft, 50,000 tanks in these armies.

According to intelligence, the Soviet Union originally planned to start a summer counteroffensive against Germany this year, concentrating 20,000 tanks from the United States to assist the Soviet Union and tanks of its own production, totaling 20,000 units, to carry out a large-scale and standardized ground counteroffensive against Germany. It was at that time that the Reich declared war on the Allies, leading Stalin to reject the battle plan. In addition, Stalin planned to gradually transfer 20,000 tanks from the counteroffensive forces to the Far East.

In the Far East, the number of tanks in the hands of the Japanese Soviet army has exceeded 15,000, and most of them are Soviet T-34/85s. Fifteen thousand tanks, that's a terrifying number.

On the naval side, the fleets of the United States and Japan have fully converged and are now conducting joint combat exercises in the waters around Hawaii. The purpose is self-evident. Do you know how powerful this navy is? ”

When Chen Shao said this, he glanced at Wei Ren and Zhongli, who were a little surprised, again, and saw the two of them shaking their heads at their questions again. Chen Shao smiled again and said, "This is a naval force that shocks the past and the present, and it is the most powerful war force in the history of human development.

More than one hundred and fifty aircraft carriers, sixty battleships, almost eight hundred cruisers and destroyers, and almost two hundred supply ships. This is the true strength of this navy.

And the Empire's naval strength, you are well aware of it. The gap is big enough!

So do you still have faith? ”

As Chen Shao's words ended, there was a new question in front of the two.

"Your Majesty, the minister is still very confident. The United States has begun to mobilize for all-out war, and the empire still has a strong force that has not yet broken out. Furthermore, His Majesty has often stressed that quantity is not everything. Although Chen Shao's words expressed a lot of the current situation, Zhongli was still very confident.

"Chen, like Zhongli, also has a lot of confidence in the empire." Wei Ren did not change his opinion either.

In fact, as long as they saw the smile on Chen Shao's face, the two of them understood a lot. If it really came to the time when China was in danger, Chen Shao would not have time to talk to them about this now. Rather, the all-out war order was immediately activated. Both of them know this. It's just that they don't understand, Chen Shao left the two of them and said this, what are they going to do?

"The war situation is unpredictable, and even I don't have as much confidence as the two of you. One thing is certain, though, the empire will never fail. "As Chen Shao said, China with nuclear bombs, China was invincible from the beginning of this war. But this is not the ending that Chen Shao wants, what China wants is a big victory, becoming the new world hegemon, and it is useless to be invincible.

Wei Ren and Zhong Li both had great confidence in Chen Shao, and it was not surprising to hear such an answer. But Chen Shao still didn't say the purpose of letting them stay, which made them very puzzled. Because Chen Shao is not a person who likes to talk nonsense.

"Then I don't know what Your Majesty has to tell the two of us to leave behind." In the end, Zhongli didn't hold back and spoke.

"You two take a look at this document first." Chen Shao didn't say the purpose, but put the folder without the title in his hand into Zhongli's hand.

Wei Ren and Zhongli opened the folder in confusion, and when they finished reading the first page, the confusion on their faces instantly turned into shock.

Zhongli didn't turn the second page, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, the empire cannot do without your leadership. When you decide this, you are ignoring the Imperial Society! I ask Your Majesty to retract this thought. What China needs is an emperor, not a so-called cabinet in Western countries. ”

"Your Majesty, think deeply, this is not a joke. The empire has reached this point, and if there is no Your Majesty, I really don't know what would have happened. If you do this, you will give people with ulterior motives an opportunity. Moreover, the empire is currently in a state of war, and this idea cannot be born at this juncture. Wei Ren also hurriedly said.

"Needless to say, I've been thinking about this for a long, long time. The imperial system will inevitably become obsolete, the people's hearts have not been completely enlightened, and China also needs a highly centralized political power. And I also said a long time ago that China is not the royal China, but the Chinese China. In the future, we will enter the era of information technology, and such a political system as the imperial dictatorship will not be suitable for China in the future.

Of course, this plan will not be implemented now, and after the war is over, it will be carried out step by step. Letting the two of you see this plan today is to make you mentally prepared. After the war, when the situation was fully stabilized, a constitutional monarchy was introduced. ”

In fact, it has been decided since Chen Shao became emperor that China needs a temporary emperor and faith, but it does not need a long period of imperial rule.

Especially in the high-tech information age, the dictatorial imperial system will inevitably give rise to many contradictions. This is not Chen Shao's imagination, but a problem that will inevitably occur. Chen Shao is confident that nothing will happen in the era of his existence. But what about later? It is necessary for him to think about his children and grandchildren.

And in terms of plan, Chen Shao also set a rule, the royal family will always be in charge of military power and national education.

Wei Ren and Zhong Li did not speak, and they only had a deep admiration for Chen Shao at this time. Sake red face, gold heart. Who can willingly let go of the power in his hands, and this person is still the respect of a country and has a very high prestige in the country. In the eyes of the two of them, this was a very incredible thing at first sight.

Despite this plan, the most important military power and education are still under the control of the royal family. But it is also very worthy of the admiration of the two of them.

Constitutional monarchy, to put it bluntly, means that the emperor delegates power to the cabinet, and then the power of the state will be in the hands of the cabinet.
