The first target plane is Chongqing, Sichuan Province.

At the beginning of January 1944, at this time, the Democratic League, a very famous democratic party in later generations, was still called the Yanhuang Democratic Political League. According to the normal development of the history of the main plane, until September 19, 1944, the national representative meeting of the Yanhuang Democratic Political League was held in the "Special Garden" of Shangqing Temple in Chongqing. The meeting decided to abolish the group membership system of the Democratic League, and all members of the league joined in their individual names, and the name was changed from the Yanhuang Democratic Political League to the "Yanhuang Democratic League", that is to say, it was not until September 1944 that the word "Democratic League" was born.

At this time, the Yanhuang Democratic Political League was composed of the Yanhuang Youth Party, the National Socialist Party, the Yanhuang National Liberation Action Committee, the Yanhuang Vocational Education Society, the Rural Construction Association, and the National Salvation Association. In order to make their stand clear, make their voices heard, and exert their own strength in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, after the establishment of the Yanhuang Democratic Political League, they did several things:

In October 1941, he entrusted Liang Shuming to publish the Guangming Daily in Hong Kong (Liang Shuming was the president, Sa Kongli was the manager, and Yu Songhua was the editor-in-chief), publicly announcing his political program and making his voice heard;

In November 1941, the day before the Second Session of the Second Session of the Bald Party Political Participation Conference was held in Chongqing, the Democratic Political League held a tea party in the Chongqing Russian Restaurant in the name of Chairman Zhang Lan, General Secretary Zuo Shunsheng, Organization Minister Zhang Bojun, and Propaganda Minister Luo Longji.

On September 18, 1943, Zhang Lan published an article entitled "Yan Huang Needs True Democratic Politics", bombarding the slogan of "constitutionalism" put forward by the bald party, and at the same time, many periodicals and monthly magazines such as "Constitutionalism", "Minxian", and "Freedom Review" began to be published.

As a result, the influence of the Democratic Political League has become greater and greater, and its proposals of "respecting the people's freedom of speech," "personal freedom," "freedom of thought, belief, and all assembly and association," and "giving necessary powers to public opinion organs at all levels" have won the support and approval of more and more people from all walks of life in Yan and Huang China.

Somewhere in Chongqing, in a relatively remote private residence, where the Democratic Political League is meeting.

"Elder Zhang, the Red Party has already crossed the Yangtze River, and according to the news sent back by Wu Yuzhang of the Red Party Representative Office and our comrades stationed in Hong Kong, not only has Shanghai and Nanjing been recovered, but also the original central Soviet region, that is, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, and other provinces, have also been basically liberated by it, and their forward troops should have arrived at the junction of Guangdong and Jiangxi, and are accumulating troops and preparing to march to Fujian and Guangdong." Democratic Political League, Organization Minister Zhang Bojun said in a low voice.

"Hey~~ Unexpectedly, in less than a year, the Shaanxi Yanhuang Red Party swept the entire Yanhuang land like a storm." Chairman Zhang Lan said with emotion.

"So what are we going to do?" Propaganda Minister Luo Longji asked.

"How are the Bald Heads spying on us now?" Zhang Lan did not answer immediately, but asked another question.

"It's tight, it should be said it's getting stricter." Li Huang, who was born in the Youth Party and is mainly responsible for the Democratic Political League, replied.

"And now the bald party is censoring and searching our publications such as the Constitution of the People's Republic of China and the Liberty Review more and more frequently. Sometimes they even send people directly to snatch and burn our magazines. Zhou Xinmin, who is in charge of publishing part of the business, replied.

"This is conceivable and certain. The more apocalyptic some people are, the more crazy they become. Zhang Lan stomped the cane in his hand and said loudly.

"The biggest problem we face now is the restriction of personal freedom." General Secretary Zuo Shunsheng replied at this time: "Judging from the news gathered from Wu Yuzhang's mouth and from newspapers and telegrams, the Red Party will establish itself in March this year at the earliest, and in the second half of this year at the latest. But so many of us are trapped in the southwest corner, and it is not a big problem for a few people to leave, and it is very difficult to leave all of them. It would be a great loss if we could not participate in the future of the Red Party. ”

"Let's take a look at this first, this is the latest issue of the Yanhuanghong Party's "People's Daily" that I can get, judging from the time, it should be their publication half a month ago." Propaganda Minister Luo Longji carefully took out a stack of boxy newspapers from his coat and showed them to everyone.

"On the necessity of centrist parties -- a democratic dictatorship needs to have a mirror to dress up at all times." Zhang Lan was very surprised when he saw the title.

"I looked at it, and there are several points in the central idea of the article: first, they insisted on one-party dictatorship, which they did not relax or back down in the slightest; Second, the independence of the democratic parties must be guaranteed, and the democratic parties need to put forward thoughtful and insightful opinions to the main party, which is a good remedy to prevent absolute power from bringing absolute power. Third, in order to maintain the relative independence of the democratic parties, it is necessary to ensure in the form of law that the democratic parties have certain financial powers, personnel appointment and dismissal powers, and administrative powers. Fourth, the democratic parties themselves should not put forward opinions for the sake of putting forward opinions, and engage in the banner for personal gain; Fifth, we must go down to the grassroots level, don't just ask questions, but not solve them, that is, don't just sit and talk about the Tao, but unite knowledge and action. Propaganda Minister Luo Longji introduced.

"Pulling the banner for selfish gain? Will only ask questions, will not solve problems? General Secretary Zuo Shunsheng didn't understand.

"Regarding this, my own understanding after reading it is this, the meaning of the Red Party article is that a small number of literati are actually fighting for their own interests in their hearts, fighting for the 'superior', and this interest not only refers to money but also fame, power, and the future of their protΓ©gΓ©s, etc., and the struggle for it has become a completely black and white absolutism, without considering the gray area that objectively exists in society. The article also puts forward a point of view, whether leftist, centrist, or rightist, in fact, all of them are deeply influenced by the residual consciousness and culture of the feudal culture of Yanhuang for thousands of years, and there are actually common problems such as sectarian sentiment (mountaineering), paternalism, seniority, jealousy, and bureaucratic color, and because of historical reasons, there is a very large inertia of the continuation of 'the people are afraid of officials'. ”

"What do you say about 'only asking questions, not solving them'?" Zhang Bojun, the head of the organization, interjected because he hadn't seen the newspaper yet.

The meaning between the lines is that since ancient times, every intellectual has longed for an inner commitment. This kind of commitment is not only an individual's responsibility to society, but also a need for self-worth and self-validation. However, this kind of commitment is often very vague in terms of specific performance, and many people are only willing to give directions, but are unwilling to bow down to work. It cites a few examples: for example, during the reign of the Beiyang warlords, there was an extreme imbalance in the ratio of liberal arts and science students in the universities of Yan and Huang - liberal arts students who studied grammar and art accounted for more than 90% of the total number of students; For example, since ancient times, Yan Huang literati read the books of sages, and they must talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, claiming to take the common people in the world as their own responsibility, but in fact, they have been far away from the actual production of society for many years. Intellectuals like to stay in their study to do their studies, and although they advocate democracy in people's livelihood, they instinctively despise manual labor and the construction of social reality. ”

"Ahem~~" Hearing such a sharp comment, someone in the room coughed unnaturally a few times.

"It's okay, keep talking!" Zhang Lan looked at Luo Longji and encouraged him.

He also mentioned that in the past twenty or thirty years of turmoil in the Republic of China, on the one hand, there were illiterate and out-of-school children everywhere in the country, and the whole blank national industry, on the other hand, many professors spent a little education money to study history, philosophy, calligraphy and painting art and other "traditional Chinese studies" that lacked practical significance, or translated some Western masterpieces, but turned a blind eye to the backward and ignorant people of the Republic of China. I didn't go down to the grassroots level, I didn't think of a way, I only knew how to publish two articles in the newspaper, exposing them, appealing for them, and being heartbroken. As a result, in the past twenty or thirty years, there have been a bunch of masters of liberal arts and sinology in major schools in China, and there are very few engineering and technical experts who are most urgently needed for social construction. ”

"It's too much! What about the Dingxian experiment at the beginning of Yan Yang? What about Tao Xingzhi's body? Does this affirm us, or does it deny us entirely? Since the vast majority of the people in the house were from liberal arts, some of them had very unsightly faces, and retorted and ridiculed.

"The language is really sharp!"

"That's it!"

"Is this a complete denial of the value of our existence?"

"Do they really want to sow 'democracy', or do they just want to impose a dictatorial 'dictatorship'?"

"After talking for a long time, what is the attitude of the Red Party? He said that the masters were 'immoral, incompetent, and productive', but what about themselves? Aren't you also engaged in bureaucracy? Is there no distinction of status and class within the party? ”

"This~~" Luo Longji felt as if he had suddenly been attacked by crossfire, and he felt alone for a while.

"Longi, if you have any ideas, speak up boldly, everyone is not to you, you don't have to take it to heart." General Secretary Zuo Shunsheng comforted.

"Yes, General Secretary, I understand. In this way, I will finish the whole article. Luo Longji took a deep breath and continued: "At the end of the article, some long-term plans are listed, and I think the more important ones are as follows: first, the establishment of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, for corruption and bribery, as long as the party who gives or accepts bribes provides evidence to prove that the other party accepted or offered bribes, and the other party cannot provide evidence to the contrary, the fact of bribery and bribery can be established, and the "benefit" is not cashed in as the determination standard, and a heavy sentence is directly imposed; Second, it is planned to implement an annual publicity system for the private property of officials and their immediate family members, which must be publicized at the department level and above, including the president, and will be supervised and reported by the public; Third, there is no lifelong leadership system, and a retirement period is established, with the deputy ministerial level and below, retiring at the age of 60, the upper limit at the ministerial level at 65 years old, and the upper limit at the national level at 75 years old, and even the top leader can only be re-elected for two consecutive terms. Fourth, establish a reasonable and perfect government management system, and do not engage in a single word and a pen; Fifth, the court will relinquish its power to adjudicate and retain the government's power to enforce the law. In the future, the legislative power will be in the people's congress, the law enforcement will be in the national government, and the judicial power of the courts will be handed over to the democratic parties and personages without party affiliation, of course, the premise must be to pass the judicial examination, and they will retain the right of the procuratorate; Sixth, set a time limit for the realization of universal suffrage, about 50 years later (two generations of educated people have grown up successively), to achieve universal suffrage nationwide; Seventh, we should truly improve the level of people's livelihood, average social resources, and realize the overall management of the people's medical care, housing, education, etc., which are the most expensive for the people, so that there is not much difference in living standards, there is not much difference in treatment, and there are no privileges for officials, and the people do not attach much importance to the official standard. ”

"Humph! It's just on paper. There is nothing else, as long as the local governments are in tandem with each other, deceiving the upper and lower levels, so that these policies are ineffective or the people do not know, and those corrupt officials can continue to fish and meat in the township. A member of the Democratic Political League, who sat in the back row, commented disdainfully.

Because everyone here at this time did not know that there was such a thing as the Internet in later generations, there was a monitoring system such as the bank's electronic network, and there was a policy propaganda means such as satellite television, so many people felt that there were many loopholes in these ideas, and for a while, there was a rumbling of discussion and criticism in the room.

In fact, in Wang Fan's heart, in fact, as long as he made a big determination after the founding of the People's Republic of China (especially when the founding of the People's Republic of China had almost no property, and the whole society was more like a blank sheet of paper), the establishment of an economic ID card, a personal ID card into one credit system network management system, can still achieve most of the above ideas and goals.

"Elder Zhang, what do you think we should do? How exactly to position, contact with the Red Party. Zhang Bojun, the head of the organization, asked with a wry smile after seeing the hype of those who agreed and refuted, and the trend of changing to the vegetable market in the house.

"My opinion is that, no matter what, it is a historical trend for the Red Party to unify the Yanhuang Continent, and there is basically no suspense about their founding of the country. In order for 'democracy' to truly take root and sprout in Yanhuang, we must do our best. Bojun, you and LONGi take a few people to contact first. Shun Sheng and I had too big a goal, and it was inconvenient and unrealistic to leave Chongqing together. ”

"Yes, I see!"
