For China, the government building located on the east side of the palace gate is to some extent a real national decision-making organ, although it is not the official residence of the prime minister, but in fact, the government building is the real national policy decision-making, but in order to highlight China's "constitutional", the prime minister's office is the decision-making body of the cabinet, and the government building is where the emperor handles government affairs, however, under normal circumstances, the prime minister must make a final decision on some domestic and foreign affairs before making a final decision. Come to the government affairs building to personally greet Your Majesty.

The appearance of the constitution and the essence of the monarch's power are vividly reflected in this government affairs building, but for the Chinese, they have long been accustomed to this, and they don't feel anything strange, they even feel that the Ming monarch and the virtuous minister should be like this, as for the so-called constitution, most people do not know what it is, and they only have a stable life under the governance of the "Ming monarch and virtuous minister" in their eyes.

In the long history of China, the so-called prosperous era is only a few hundred years, and the rest of the time is either corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, or there are frequent civil strife, warlord scuffles, or foreign invasions, and the people are worse than death.

For the vast majority of the Chinese people, the present era is undoubtedly the best in history, the vast majority of peasants have no worries about food and clothing for the first time, they no longer have to endure the extortion of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the newspaper reporters are staring at those officials with their eyes open, ready to expose the "dark side of society" at any time, and their children receive education provided by the state for the first time. And this prosperous era is naturally inseparable from the Ming monarch, and of course it is inseparable from the virtuous minister, so for China's political system, the vast majority of the people will not blame, since it is a prosperous era, what else is there to blame, so picky?

As for the Constitutionalists, Democrats, and extreme Republicans, their accusations, well, are simply fed up, based on public opinion, and the minds of monarchs and ministers, and naturally this Oriental-style constitution will continue, at least for now. For the emperors and ministers who wield the power of the country, the fact that the country is big enough to live forever is a fact that is clearer than anything else.

"As soon as the lower house of the Diet passes the relevant resolution, the cabinet will immediately require Japan to expand ten divisions to participate in the European war, of which the first batch of five divisions will be dispatched in April this year, and the second batch of five divisions will be sent in June, and at the same time as the second batch of troops, the military will propose that the Japanese army further expand the number of divisions and regiments by 40, according to the plan, before the end of the year, the Japanese army will send at least 30 divisions and regiments, and next year will send no less than 30 divisions and regiments to ensure that its strength in the European theater is not less than 60 divisions and regiments. That's 1.3 million people! ”

Facing His Majesty, Guan Mingtang, as the prime minister, further added while reporting on the plan to send troops to the Japanese army.

"The Army plans to help the Japanese Army expand its military strength in the form of military loans to Japan, and the military loans will be deducted directly from the regular loans by the State Department as part of China's economic aid plan for Japan."

Guan Mingtang is not very interested in arming Japan, not only because of arming a powerful neighbor, but more importantly, the expenditure of arming Japan is borne by China, and Guan Mingtang can even be said to be very resistant to this, although it only takes three million yuan to arm a division, although it only takes 200 million yuan, but the most important thing is the political influence. …,

"Your Majesty, arming Japan, and the Japanese Army assuming the obligations of the Entente is certainly the choice to get rid of the obligations of the Entente, Your Majesty, this is undoubtedly after announcing that the Sino-Japanese security treaty has become a piece of waste paper, and the Japanese Army has been expanded tenfold, for China, it seems to solve the trouble of soldier casualties and the obligations of the Entente countries, danshi With the breakthrough of the Sino-Japanese security treaty, we will have to face a rearmed Japan again in the future!"

After expressing his worries, Guan Mingtang looked at His Majesty thoughtfully, and said solemnly.

"This will definitely affect the order and stability of the East in the future! Please think again, Your Majesty! ”

Guan Mingtang's opposition only made Chen Moran sigh secretly in his heart, on the issue of Japan's military expansion, in fact, whether it is the cabinet, the Congress, or the General Staff Headquarters, they have not been able to reach a real consensus, the reason for the supporters' support is very simple, the Japanese army's participation in the war can fulfill the obligations of the Chinese Entente at the same time, minimize the casualties of the squadron, of course, the Cadets in the Congress, who are fully promoting this matter, support Japan's military expansion The reason is very simple, they received the Japanese silver. The reason for the opposition is very simple: they fear that Japan's rearmament will cause the Sino-Japanese security treaty that 300,000 soldiers have paid for with their lives and blood to be broken by Japan, so that China can no longer form an effective deterrent to Japan.

Opponents certainly have reasons for their opposition, but they don't see the direction of history at all.

"Zheqin, there are some things that you don't understand!"

I don't understand, how can this be that Guan Mingtang doesn't understand, in fact, too many people don't understand why Chen Moran insisted on Japan's military expansion, the reason why he insisted on Japan's military expansion is very simple, taking the opportunity to consume Japan's manpower is only a superficial reason, the real reason is that after sending the Japanese army to Russia to participate in the war, in the next two years, the impact of the Russian Revolution on the Japanese army.

In history, Japan has sent troops to intervene in the Russian Revolution, Danshi in the Russian Revolution at the same time, many troops were affected by the idea of redness, and even had army defections, in Vladivostok, the sailors on a Japanese warship even wore red scarves, if it were not for the army's counter-emergency, emergency suppression of disobedient sailors, those sailors might even start a riot.

Now, if millions of Japanese troops are sent to Europe, they will fight in concert with the Russian army, and while fighting under the command of the Russian General Staff, they will naturally be influenced by the Red Ideology, and when the Russian army mutinies, how can the Japanese army, which has served as cannon fodder for two years, be stable, and what China needs to do at that time is to do everything possible to transfer the Japanese army back to Japan while preparing for full intervention in the Russian Revolution on the one hand.

At that time, after the Japanese troops returned to China, what the intelligence department needed was to constantly incite those red troops to launch a revolution in Japan, a red revolution was enough to destroy all the old order in Japan, in this revolution, all China needed was to sit idly by, and when the revolution broke off and the counter-revolutionaries were almost executed, the troops stationed in Japan could enter Japan in full force as liberators, and at the same time as suppressing the Japanese Red Revolution, a new Japanese government would be built with the support of China. And this Japanese government will no longer have any old-fashioned colors, it will be a Japanese imperial government composed entirely of pro-Chinese factions, after that revolution, the army as the "center of the outbreak of the revolution" officers will be purged by the revolutionaries, and the remaining troops will be executed as rebels, as for the so-called Japanese army, after that revolution is suppressed, it will cease to exist, the security of the whole of Japan will be the responsibility of China, and the old "Sino-Japanese Security Treaty" will be replaced by the new "Sino-Japanese Security Treaty", China will, like the United States, set up a large number of military bases on Japan's four islands, and the squadron will be fully responsible for Japan's security. …,

And more importantly, unlike the last time it entered Japan as an "aggressor", when that day comes, China will enter Japan as a "savior", and China will save the whole of Japan, save Japan from sliding into the red abyss, and prevent Japanese culture from being destroyed by the Red Movement.

Although all of this will be very complicated to operate, if Danshi succeeds, it will be extremely beneficial for China, which can not only completely solve the threat from Japan, but also take full control of the country, so as to establish a chain of security defense islands in the Pacific Ocean that belongs to China, and take advantage of the future Sino-American relations.

In order to achieve this plan, it is necessary to expand Japan's military liliang. Maybe there are too many uncertainties in this plan, Danshi, some risks are always worth taking, especially the ones that are very rewarding!

Seeing Guan Mingtang throwing a puzzled look at him, Chen Moran smiled.

"Tetsuqin, sometimes we have to make some choices for the future, maybe these choices are in front of us, full of uncertain crises, in addition to the danger in the Danshi crisis, there are also unprecedented opportunities, in the past ten years, we have been in a seemingly dangerous situation, and every time in the unprecedented danger, there are always unprecedented opportunities, so, I xiwang you can support this decision, support the expansion of the Japanese Army!"

"Your Majesty, if you insist, I won't object, Danshi, the Japanese Army has expanded, but what about the Japanese Navy?"

Guan Mingtang then asked rhetorically.

"You must know that in addition to the army xiwang let the Japanese take on combat missions, the navy is also xiwang Japan can take on escort missions! Thus freeing the Guards Navy from heavy escort tasks! ”

The Navy does not build a large number of light cruisers and small destroyers that do not have much significance in the decisive battle of the fleet, which will occupy a lot of naval military spending and occupy a lot of resources, in contrast, the escort task is "contracted" out, it has become the most beneficial choice for the Navy, not to mention that as the Navy regards the United States as an imaginary enemy, there has always been the idea of "Sino-Japanese cooperation and confrontation with the West" in the Navy Staff, the Japanese Army may not be very good, and the quality of the Japanese Navy is even until now, In this case, the navy will naturally be able to "appropriately" undertake future tasks in the Japanese navy, of course, within a certain "acceptable range", after all, the navy will not fight another naval battle in the South China Sea.

"Navy, no ocean is no Japan, no navy is no ocean!"

Reciting a sentence he saw in the newspaper, Chen Moran shook his head.

"This question, let's think about it later! However, the Navy's proposal to relax the tonnage of 20,000 tons is acceptable, and we still need escort fleets in the Mediterranean and Atlantic directions, but even so, Japan's escort warships should be designed by the Ship Administration Department of the Konoe Navy, not by the Ship Administration Headquarters of the Japanese Navy. ”

In the past few years, the navy has been making sacrifices for the overall situation on the issue of building ships, and now it is finally relaxed, they want to build ships, and they do not want to waste resources to build ships, which is also understandable, and it is necessary to make appropriate compromises on this issue.

"And there should be a limit to the relaxation of 20,000 tons, well, limited to escort ships, look at the Ministry of Ships to design a kind of escort ship with a tonnage of about 1,000 tons and an artillery caliber of no more than 105 mm, well, the speed should also be limited to 20 knots, and also, the service life of these warships must be stipulated, twenty years, and they must not be decommissioned within twenty years, anyway, some restrictive clauses are added, as for the light cruisers and destroyers mentioned by the Navy, I think the coast guard needs to be expanded, After all, now that our coast guard extends to the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the cabinet will allocate a sum of money to the coast guard to build ships in addition to the navy's military spending. ”…,

Seeing that His Majesty came up with such a way to take care of the emotions of the navy, Guan Mingtang couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, although His Majesty is known as the "Emperor of Soldiers", Danshi is between the army and the navy, His Majesty is always inclined to the navy in the tangible and invisible, but also, in this era of sea power, any big country, a strong country, if it wants to protect itself, must build a strong navy, not to mention that deep in His Majesty's heart, there is also the ambition of "raising the prestige of China in the vastness of thousands of miles", and it is naturally not difficult to understand that he is inclined to the navyIf it weren't for the strong opposition of the Army, the crown prince would have entered the army in a few years, and it was very likely that he would have entered the navy, not as it is now, as a compromise, the crown prince entered the army officer school at the age of sixteen for two years, served in the army for one year, and then entered the naval officer school for two years, and then entered the navy for one year.

Under this premise, His Majesty's preference for the Navy is naturally understandable.

"As you wish, Your Majesty!"

After Guan Mingtang retired, Chen Moran, who was sitting alone in the office, smiled and sighed helplessly, some things, it is always difficult for outsiders to understand, when he made his own decision before, Guan Mingtang thought that he was biased towards the navy, but he didn't know, perhaps, in the next war, it was the navy that decided the fate of China, in this case, how could he not be biased?

Who knows the future?

In the future, Chen Moran remembered another thing, a small thing, today is the day of the palace visit, a group of primary school students were invited to visit the palace, perhaps, he should go to meet these primary school students, twenty-five years later, they will become the backbone of the country.

Thinking to himself, Chen Moran walked out of the office and walked down the stairs towards the garden behind.

"My name is Liu Zinian, and I am in the fifth grade at the National Primary School in Xinxing District, Nanjing, Your Royal Highness the Princess!"

In front of her, Liu Zinian, who was about the same age as her younger brother, was neither humble nor arrogant when answering herself, but it made her feel a little good about this little boy, even in the school of the Royal Palace, those classmates would always involuntarily show a humble side in front of her.

When the princess looked at herself, Liu Zinian also looked at the princess, well, the clothes on her body looked no different from ordinary rich children, and then looked at the crown prince who was talking with her classmates in the distance, but the prince was wearing a military uniform, looking like a little adult, some pretenses, the two were dwarfed, he felt that the princess in front of him was closer.

"You don't seem to be interested in the palace?"

Perhaps it was because he had noticed that he was rarely as curious about every place in the palace as everyone else, so Chen Qin asked tentatively.

"It's nothing more than a house where people live, but this house has a "royal" ...... hanging on it."

Listening to the words of the young man who was talking to his daughter from a distance, Chen Moran was happy in his heart, this kid, not very old, talked about it, and signaled the female officials and attendants on the side not to report, Chen Moran walked straight over.

Although it was a child's heart, Liu Zinian knew that the person in front of him was also a princess no matter what, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"As the book says, the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual! So ,......"

"So it's the people here that are worth seeing?"

When handing over the words, how did Chen Qin think about how she felt awkward, if so, then what is the difference between this palace and the zoo, just when she was about to open her mouth to refute, she heard a panicked salute around her, and when she looked back, she saw her father walking over with a smile on his face, different from usual, today his father was wearing a suit.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

Most of the young men who were visiting the palace could not suppress the excitement on their faces at this time, and in their opinion, being able to see His Majesty the Emperor himself during their visit to the palace was enough for them to show off to others for the rest of their lives.

"Excuse me!"

After a brief chat with a few teenagers, Chen Moran walked towards the teenager who had talked to his daughter before.

"What's your name!"

When looking at this young man, looking at his somewhat familiar appearance, Chen Moran's heart moved.

"Back to Your Majesty, my name is Liu Zinian!"

Liu Zinian!
