"Wu Tingyan, right?" Of course, Chang Thanh Thanh had heard the name of this unfortunate South Vietnamese president, and Chang Thanh Thanh also knew that several brothers of Ngo Dinh Diem's family were devout Catholics, and that his eldest brother Ngo Dinh Thanh had also been a cardinal archbishop, and Ngo Dinh Thanh had himself entered a seminary. Historically, Ngo Dinh Diem offended Buddhists because he favored Vietnamese Catholics too much in land reform, which led to conflicts between two sects in South Vietnam, and there were several monk incidents, and finally even the Americans lost confidence in his regime and acquiesced to the military coup d'état of South Vietnamese army chief Duong Van Minh to get rid of him.

Although the president of South Vietnam was basically degraded to nothing in the history books of New China in later generations, Chang Ruiqing did not think that this person must have some talents, otherwise he would not have climbed to such a high position. In addition, Wu Tingyan's experience also reminded Chang Ruiqing that the natives of Nanyang are far more serious about religion than the Han people, so if you want to firmly control Nanyang, you can't ignore religious issues.

Thinking of this, he said to Sun Yuexun again: "Xiaomei, you help me tell Wu Tingyan that the Great Chinese Federation is discussing with the Vatican the appointment of the Catholic priesthood in China, and Pius XI is ready to refer to the precedent of the "Edict of the State of Burge" to entrust the appointment and removal of the Catholic priesthood in the Great China Federation to the Federal President. ”

Mao ZD's brows furrowed again when he heard this, he had already "decided" the next president of the Federation, as an atheist, how could he appoint and dismiss the Catholic priesthood with atheism? And he never seemed to have heard of the federal government discussing such issues with the Vatican. He looked at Chang Ruiqing and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister." When did we start negotiations with the Vatican? How did I not know? ”

"We haven't started talking yet, but it's a trivial matter, and I'll ask Mussolini to come forward and talk about it." Chang Ruiqing was not worried that the Pope would object. In fact, he himself is a Catholic, and because he claims that he foresaw the Tokyo earthquake because he was inspired by God to benefit the Holy See, the Holy See has a very good relationship with him, and it is estimated that it will not refute his face. However, it didn't seem safe to just get the right to appoint the Catholic priesthood, he thought about it and said, "There is also the right to appoint and remove the priesthood of the Hyslans, and I will ask Lin Zuoda to discuss with Caliph Hussein and ask him to issue an edict." Later, the Catholic bishops and the Grand Imam of the Hyslanc Church in our country were appointed by the President...... Chairman, do you think we should set up a few more positions of great monks, real people in charge of teaching, and great priests, so as to control Buddhism, Taoism, and Shintoism? ”

"Yes. Yes," Mao Zd didn't answer, and Sun Yuexun interjected: "In the past, the Japanese emperor was the supreme leader of Shintoism, and the leaders of several of Japan's largest Buddhist sects also had the title of chief monk issued by the imperial court. ”

Mao ZD sat there silent. Judging by his expression, he seemed to be very disgusted by dealing with the same group of god sticks. Seeing this, Chang Ruiqing said again: "Chairman." The issue of religious belief is not a trivial matter, and in many countries, people's identification with religious belief is still higher than that of the ethnic group, so we cannot look at other ethnic groups with the religious outlook of the Han nationality, let alone hope to replace religious belief with political beliefs. ”

Mao ZD said lightly: "Oh, since you think so, then it's done." High quality updates"

Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly: "We are a huge country in China, and we are now seeking to establish an even larger federation. Therefore, we must go all out to promote anything that may promote the unity of the federation and the integration of all nationalities, and we must do our best to suppress anything that is not conducive to reunification and national integration. For example, this religion. Don't think that a simple religious freedom is enough to withdraw from things, let alone that all religions are spiritual opium, and spare no effort to suppress them...... In fact, if the religious issue is properly handled, it can become a favorable tool for the rulers, but if it is not handled well, it will become a hidden danger of subversion and separatism! At this point, his tone was already softened: "So the principle of our treatment of religion is to control zhì!" We will allow the development of all sects that can be controlled by us, and we must find a way to eliminate all sects that are not accused by us! ”

"I still believe that science will eventually triumph over ignorance." Mao ZD looked at Chang Ruiqing: "Prime Minister, let's continue to talk about the arrangements of the Indochinese government, how does Ruan Aiguo arrange them?" The prime minister and the deputy prime minister don't have his share, I'm afraid it's not big, right? ”

Chang Ruiqing waved his hand: "He is now the interim prime minister of the Indochinese Republic and the secretary of the Sino-G Indian Branch, and if the Sino-G loses the election in the Indochinese Republic this time, he, the secretary of the Indochinese Branch, should be responsible." When the election results came out, he removed his secretary of the Indian branch and gave him a non-district legislator (the latest system in the third federal election to suppress the small local parties) and let him take up office in Nanjing. ”

"Okay, when the election is over, I will personally go to Hue to discuss with Nguyen Aiguo." Mao Zd nodded helplessly: "Then who is the secretary of the Indian branch office for?" ”

This is an issue within the party, and it seems a little inappropriate to discuss it at today's meeting. So Chang Ruiqing shook his head and said: "The candidate is still the chairman, and I will discuss it later in the Central Government Bureau." Later, he said to Shao Piaoping, Minister of Propaganda and National Education: "Comrade Piaoping, if there is anything more important than the control of religion to maintain the unity of the Federation, it is only the issue of national education." Is the national education plan of the Indochinese Republic done? ”

"Not yet, there are still some disagreements on all sides." Shao Piaoping hesitated, and then said: "The main issue is the education of national language, national culture and history, all ethnic groups in the Indochinese Republic have their own language, culture and history, should we respect and protect it?" In particular, what language should be used in the future when compulsory education is implemented in the Indochinese Republic? Is it just one Chinese language or is it a combination of Chinese and indigenous languages? In addition, the education level of the indigenous peoples of the Indochinese Republic is relatively backward, should we take care of it in the joint university examination......"

"The Wanderer! What are you thinking about in the Ministry of Propaganda and the Ministry of National Education! Chang Ruiqing suddenly waved his hand impatiently when he heard this, and interrupted: "The federal citizen ID card and passport do not indicate ethnic and religious beliefs, so no one knows who is Han and who is the indigenous people of Southeast Asia. How do you think we take care of the JAE?

Besides, after joining the federation, the indigenous peoples of Nanyang should receive the same compulsory education as the Han people. High-quality updates are in the same textbooks, the same teachers, and the same years of compulsory education...... On what basis do you say that their level of education will lag behind? Do you mean that their brains are dumber than those of the Han Chinese? This is racism! We, the Great Chinese Federation, will never allow racial discrimination to exist! Therefore, the national education of the Indochinese Republic should be the same as that of the rest of the Federation, without care, and without discrimination! ”

Shao Piaoping's face turned blue and white for a while, but when she saw Chang Ruiqing losing her temper, she didn't dare to speak up. He just reminded him: "Prime Minister, but most of them don't speak Chinese......

Chang Ruiqing tapped the table with his fingers lightly, and said in an accentuated tone: "In 1924. The vast majority of the He people also don't speak Chinese, but now, who can still distinguish the Han and the Han from the language? And the performance of He students in the joint entrance examination does not seem to be worse than that of Han students, right? ”

He stood up and glanced at the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that many of you think that some special preferential policies should be adopted for the new peoples who have joined the Federation. Think that this can buy people's hearts. Accelerate their integration into the Commonwealth. But have you ever thought that the existence of this preferential policy is itself the biggest obstacle to their integration into the Federation.

If we teach in the national language in the schools of these ethnic areas, then why should they make the effort to learn Chinese? Man is inert after all! If an indigenous student can have priority over Han students in the joint entrance examination, can they have any other priority in their future business, work and life? If these indigenous peoples have priority wherever they are, then why should they integrate with the main peoples of the Federation? Today, I would like to emphasize one more point to you. Our federation belongs to all the nations of Greater East Asia, and all nationalities have a completely equal status in the federation. No one is given preferential treatment, and no one is discriminated against. And in order to avoid racial discrimination, there will be no nationality on the identity certificate of our federal citizens, on all the dossiers that need to be filled in by individual citizens! Also, what I just said is not only the policy of the federal government, but also the policy of our five major political parties! Do you understand? ”

"I see, what Sir is talking about is the policy of our Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association." The first to express his stance is, of course, Sun Yuexun, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association has always been the first to look forward, which is also the way of survival of the Japanese chaebol behind this political organization, if those billionaires who fled from Japan think of themselves as Japanese all day long, how can they have the current wealth and status?

"Prime Minister, our National Socialist Party has always been in favor of treating all nationalities equally." Zhang Junmai also followed suit. The National Socialist Party is saying that the state is above the first qiē, and the unity of the country is of course above the language and culture of the indigenous peoples, there is no doubt about it!

Chairman Mao Zd seemed to still have some doubts, he shook his head slightly and said, "Prime Minister, if that's the case...... Now that Le Duan, a former member of the Indochinese GCD, has rebuilt the Indochinese GCD in India, Dechen Thonshwe, Dechen Tenchang, and Dechen Padang of the Burmese Association, they have maintained secret contacts with Delhi, and they have also made it clear that if real autonomy cannot be achieved after the general elections in Myanmar, they will not rule out launching a non-violent non-cooperation movement. ”

"Hmph," Jiang Jshi on the side suddenly snorted contemptuously: "Runzhi, what is this, my Burmese Association is a master who doesn't know what to do, I think when we didn't occupy Burma, they engaged in non-violence against the British, and they didn't use less violence against our overseas Chinese!" In my opinion, it's better to ban it directly, so as to save them from buzzing and screaming, and it is annoying to listen to. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded noncommittally, what Lao Jiang said about the use of violence by our Burmese Association against overseas Chinese, in fact, it was a group fight between our Burmese Association and the Burmese Kuomintang established by overseas Chinese in Myanmar supported by the Kuomintang, which was not anti-Chinese in the real sense. After all, China's rise is not a day or two, and the British Empire, which rules Burma, has been an ally of China for the past 10 years, so naturally it will not allow the Burmese to engage in anti-Chinese to undermine Sino-British relations. However, Chiang's Kuomintang has a lot of contradictions with the Burmese Association, and it is the main opponent in the future Burmese general election, so of course he wants to find an opportunity to eradicate them.

"Yichen, Kaiyin, what do you think?" Chang Ruiqing blamed the problem on the two spy leaders under him. Originally, Myanmar's intelligence work was the responsibility of the National Intelligence Service, but now Myanmar has been controlled by China. And there will be a referendum to join the federation soon, so for the time being, it will be jointly managed by the Intelligence Bureau and the Secret Service.

"Prime Minister, the Ministry thinks that our Burmese Association can still be observed." The National Intelligence Agency led by Zhang Guotao has long begun to deploy in Myanmar. The infiltration of various political forces in Myanmar is very deep, including of course this Association of Burmese People, many of which have received funding from the National Intelligence Service. Moreover, Zhang Guotao also knows that the Sino-G Nanyang Bureau and the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Association are also infiltrating and wooing important members of the Chinese Burmese Association.

He pondered for a moment, then continued: "According to the information available to the Intelligence Bureau, the Association of Burmese is not composed of a group of staunch Burmese nationalists, and opportunists make up the vast majority of them. Before the British left Burma. They have pinned their hopes for national independence on us, have secret contacts with the Intelligence Service and the main political parties of the Federation, and have received funding from us. And now. They also pinned their hopes on the Indian GCD, but at the same time they were afraid of the Indian GCD, because the vast majority of them were the elite of the Burmese and owned a lot of property. So scared GC.

Furthermore. Buddhism in Myanmar is very strong, almost 100 percent of the Burmese people practice Buddhism, and their men enter monasteries for a short period of time when they are 14 or 5 years old. The three major Buddhist monastic groups in Myanmar, Dordharma, Shwe King, and Dabrahlo, are very closely related to us and the Gongrong Society, and those great monks have little interest in Burma's independence, they only care about the interests of the temples, so they are very disgusted with the GCISM of eliminating the Yiqiē religion. The activities of the Burmese Association are inseparable from the support of the Burmese Buddhist Sangha, so the association is now in a very contradictory state. On the one hand, they pinned their hopes on the Indian GCD, and on the other hand, they were afraid of Soviet-style GCD. Grade estimates. It is simply impossible for this group to incite a nonviolent movement throughout Burma. In the end, they have only one ending, which is splitting. There may be a small group of particularly radical members who form the Burmese GCD with the support of the Indian GCD, but most of them will eventually join the KMT and the Co-Prosperity Society. ”

"When will this finally appear?" Chang Ruiqing asked.

"After the referendum on joining the Greater Chinese Federation, most of the members of the Burmese Association will completely lose confidence in Myanmar's independence because of the results of this referendum."

"Director Zhang, are you so confident in the outcome of the referendum in Myanmar? The proportion of Chinese in Myanmar is not very large! Mao ZD asked coldly. Of course, he and Zhang Guotao are rivals, but the current domestic situation does not allow the two of them to publicly stage a dragon and tiger fight, but every time they meet, they will not give each other any good faces.

Zhang Guotao also snorted coldly and replied: "When will I, Zhang Guotao, open my mouth?" When I say that I am sure, of course, I have done so after careful investigation and research. There are not many Chinese in Myanmar, accounting for about 2% of the total population of Myanmar, but the Shan people, who account for more than 10% of the population of Myanmar, are actually the Dai people, and they now also regard themselves as Chinese, and the middle and upper classes of them are all supporters of the Kuomintang like the Chinese in Myanmar. In addition, during the period of British rule in Burma, the emphasis was on supporting the Christian Karen and Kachin ethnic groups, and most of the indigenous civil servants in Burma and the indigenous officers and soldiers of the Anglo-Burmese army came from these two ethnic groups, which accounted for about 11% of the total population of Burma. ”

"That's only 23%!" Mao Zd said.

"But the level of education of the Chinese, Karen, Kachin and Dai is significantly higher than that of the Burmese." Jiang Jshi interjected: "There is no compulsory education in Myanmar, and their schools are mainly of three categories: first, the church schools opened by the British colonialists, the students are mainly Karen and Kachin in addition to the children of the British colonialists, and there are also a large number of church schools in the Karen and Kachin settlements; The second is the Chinese schools funded by the Federal Government Propaganda and the Ministry of National Education, not only in southern and central Myanmar, but also in the Dai areas in northern Myanmar. The third category is Burmese schools, and the total number of such schools is not small, but the total number of students and graduates is still not as large as that of Chinese schools. In addition, the Burmese are an oppressed ethnic group in Myanmar, so their economic status is relatively low, and the number of people who can meet the property standards required for suffrage is also not as large as that of the Chinese, Dai, Karen and Kachin combined. Therefore, although the Burmese are the largest ethnic group in Myanmar, they do not have a majority of voters in future elections and referendums in Myanmar. ”

Mao ZD sighed lightly and looked at Chang Ruiqing: "Prime Minister, our method may be able to pull the Nanyang countries into the federation in the short term, but in the long run, it ......."

"The long-term policy of maintaining federal unity is to dilute ethnic groups, suppress and integrate local political forces, control religion, and implement compulsory education in the Chinese language!" Chang Ruiqing was confident, and he reiterated again: "This is the principle that we must implement after entering the Nanyang region!" All parties must implement it as one, so as to ensure that all regions of Nanyang can be integrated into the Federation of Greater China in the shortest possible time. ”
