916th Finale Three
On the night of September 15, 1936, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, but the square in front of the Prime Minister's Office in Tangshan, Nanjing, was still full of people. They carried torches, sang the most popular military songs, shouted all sorts of slogans, and cheered loudly in front of the Prime Minister's Office. There was no intention to disperse for a long time, and some people set off firecrackers and fireworks, and the crackling sound came to mind, and the incomparably gorgeous fireworks flew in the night sky, as if making people feel a trace of the heat of the battlefield, and as if announcing the advent of a new era.
Chang Ruiqing stood in front of the window of the banquet hall on the third floor of the Tangshan Mansion building opposite the Prime Minister's Office, quietly watching this scene. The banquet hall was also a cheerful and lively scene, with rows of long wooden tables filled with all kinds of Chinese and Western cold dishes and snacks, as well as a variety of fine wines, Dutch water, and American cola. A band in military uniforms played cheerful music, and the ballroom was brightly lit. The leading figures of the capital of the Great China Federation, as well as the Wehrmacht from the front line or representatives of various localities, stood in groups of three or five at random. Laughing and talking to each other in a low voice, the content of the conversation is everything. Some of the generals in military uniform recounted all sorts of anecdotes they had encountered on the battlefield – today was a day to celebrate victory, and the conversation should not be too bloody.
There are also businessmen in suits and leather shoes with fine cigars in their hands excitedly discussing the various business opportunities that will be brought about by the "second land reform" and ZF's promotion of urbanization - the spoils of this world war are really rich, so it is not the soldiers who have made great achievements in the war now, but the businessmen represented by the four chaebols. Land, resources, world currency, public property sales, the construction of the eight major metropolises, and the construction of Siberia in Central Asia all mean huge profits rolling in! There were so many places to make a fortune that businessmen couldn't help but drink in the banquet hall and shout long live the prime minister.
However, Chang Ruiqing didn't take a second look at these businessmen who were covered in the smell of copper. Although there are many so-called sociologists who study the Three People's Principles or the Left People's Principles, they have written articles in the large and small newspapers of the Federation to point out. If there is no restriction on the ever-expanding consortium, the future Federation of Great China is very likely to become a country under the manipulation of the consortium! At that point, politics may become a money game between conglomerates, and ordinary working people will lose their voice altogether! Chang Ruiqing didn't take such a statement to heart. Because he knew that as long as he was alive for one day, the consortium could not be the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the country. As for what happens when you die? It will be up to the working masses of the future to fight for their rights, and they now have a host of freedoms to strike, march, assembly, association, speech, and so on, and they still have ballots in their hands that can determine the ownership of power at all levels, if this does not guarantee their rights and interests from being usurped by the plutocracy. Then he, the father of the Great China Federation, really can't think of any other system that can restrain the chaebol. As for the proposal to establish a centralized dictatorship, rely on a strong political party to suppress the chaebols, protect the common people, and maintain the unity of the federation, Chang Ruiqing has no interest in a penny. Who made him still a selfish man at heart? He is not at all a great man who is selfless enough to dedicate his children and grandchildren to a happy life for the country and the nation.
As for Mao ZD, Zhou Elai, Jiang Jshi and others around him, they all seem to have the same idea, so the topics that these political leaders are talking about now are still inseparable from referendums and parliamentary votes.
“…… Ladies and gentlemen. Now that the world war has basically ended, the next major events are two, the first is to distribute the spoils; The second, of course, is to consolidate the unity of the Federation. The distribution of the spoils of war is the second land reform, and I intend to vote in Parliament in the name of the Land Distribution Law...... You already know the general policy, the bill to be voted on will be modified on the basis of the plan discussed in private, and the land holding limit will be removed.
At the same time as the Land Distribution Law is submitted to Parliament for a vote, China G will also propose an Agricultural Cooperatives Law. The purpose of this bill is to use the financial resources of the Federal ZF to foster through the Fisheries and Farmers' Association and the Ministry of Agriculture an organization called 'agricultural cooperatives', which will combine the functions of community autonomy and agricultural production and marketing of agricultural products. The specific provisions will be sent in writing to the central political parties and the members of the Federal Senate and Legislature before the bill is submitted to Parliament.
In addition, on behalf of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, Saionji Gongwang also proposed a "Federal Unification Act". The main content is to promote the unification and integration of the Great China Federation, so that the various republics and kingdoms that are currently the main body of the federation will have a way to finally and completely integrate into one. To put it simply, it is to abolish the various republics and kingdoms, and make the provincial administrative regions directly under the federal ZF. In the future, there will no longer be a country in the administrative system of the Greater China Federation, but only four levels: federation - province, provincial city - district, county - township. In rural areas, there may also be autonomous communities, mainly in the form of agricultural cooperatives. ”
Chang Ruiqing said as he looked around at the few people around him, and his expression seemed to have full confidence in the passage of these three bills related to the economic take-off and political stability of the Great Chinese Federation. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jshi of the Kuomintang sighed slightly. He frowned and said: "Prime Minister, the "Land Distribution Law" has always been supported by our Kuomintang, and the fact that the Federation can obtain land in Central Asia and Siberia is, in the final analysis, the result of the joint efforts of all the military and civilians of the Federation, and the fruits of victory should also be shared by the military and civilians of the Federation." As for the Federal Unification Act, there is no problem in passing it in both houses of the Federal Parliament, but there may be some opposition from the Republic of Indochina, the Republic of Myanmar, the Kingdom of Siam and the Republic of Malay, right? In addition, the Philippines, East Indies, Japan, and South Korea have not yet joined the federation legally, so it is probably not appropriate to turn them into provinces, right? ”
"There is no problem in Japan, and the Japanese in the East Indies will agree to join the federation as provinces." Chang Ruiqing showed a smile that could be called confident, waved his hand and said: "The Federal Unification Law was originally proposed by the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, how could the Republic of Japan not support it?" Besides, the Federal Unification Act does not mean that the Republic of China and the Kingdom will immediately become federal provinces, but there is still a referendum procedure. Saionji Konozomi proposed that there should be no referendum on the accession of the Republic of Japan to the federation, but a referendum on the accession of four provinces, including Kyushu, Honshu, Hokkai, and Shikoku, to join the federation. A referendum on the Land Allocation Act could be linked to a referendum on joining the federation and could be carried out 100 per cent. ”
Jiang Jshi smiled slightly, and couldn't help but admire Chang Ruiqing in his heart, in the eyes of the Kuomintang in the past, the enemy of Japan was so strong that it was invincible, but now it was beaten by Chang Ruiqing to the knees and prostrate.
"What about the other republics and kingdoms? How to deal with it? "Although Mao zD has heard some things about the Federal Uniform Act, he doesn't know too many details.
Chang Ruiqing said: "Our Republic of China is also going to hold a referendum on integration into the federation, the Republic of China was originally a virtual federal subject, and now it happens to be abolished together with the Republic of Japan, and the Republic of the Far East is also abolished, which is also a step down for the Japanese." As for the other republics and kingdoms of the federation, it depends on the situation, and if there is no certainty of approval, they should not immediately hold a referendum on integration into the federation, and temporarily retain their qualifications as subjects of the federation. ”
"In this case, our Kuomintang can also support the Federal Unity Act." Jiang Jshi nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "But what is the "Agricultural Cooperative Law"? Does your party want to collectivize agriculture in China? If that's the case, we Kuomintang can't support it! Saying that, he turned his gaze to Mao ZD and Zhou Elai, he knew that there were many high-level people in China and G who always couldn't forget to rely on the model of Soviet Russia, even if Soviet Russia had perished, the surviving Russians had completely abandoned the Soviet Russia's set of methods.
Mao ZD and Zhou Elai both smiled at the same time, and Zhou Elai explained: "Jiegong, you guessed right, we want to pilot collectivization in the countryside, but it is by no means the kind of collectivization in the Soviet Union and India, but the collectivization with Chinese characteristics, the basis of our collectivization is family farms, and the per capita cultivated land area under agricultural cooperatives is as high as 20 acres. In addition, the land of the farmers participating in the agricultural cooperatives is also privately owned, and the main function of our agricultural cooperatives is to serve the farmers and help them develop traditional small-scale farming into large-scale agriculture with certain economies of scale. Our party believes that this model is also a feasible way out for the development of agriculture in our country......"
Chang Ruiqing just looked at Jiang Jshi, Mao ZD and Zhou Elai, who were discussing the "Agricultural Cooperative Law", with a somewhat complicated expression. These three big figures who are currently important in China's political arena probably would never have dreamed that in another time and space, they would be discussing state affairs with guns, right? The current method of using referendums and parliamentary votes to produce ZF and formulate major national policies is probably one of the most valuable assets left to China after participating in this great era, and its value is not even under the territorial expansion of more than 20 million square kilometers.
And in his view, this political line is not only beneficial to the country and the people, but also to himself and top Chinese politicians such as Mao, Chiang, and Zhou. Because politicians have become a very safe profession in China, the rules of the game of success and defeat and power are prosperity and power are kings have completely become a thing of the past!
Not only that, but with the cloak of democratic elections, family politics is not only possible, but also open-minded. For example, the elder Chiang's eldest son, Major Chiang Ching-kuo, who served as the captain of a destroyer in the South Seas Fleet of the National Defense Navy, recently submitted a report on his discharge from the army, and is preparing to participate in the election of the Federal Council for Political Participation in the Republic of Korea with the support of the Kuomintang, thus officially marching into the political arena. In a few years, Chang Ruiqing's second son Chang Zuocheng and Mao ZD's eldest son Mao Anying will also enter the political arena and will take over Lao Tzu's class in the future. Oh, by the way, Zhou Elai also has two sons in this time and space, how Zhou Bingwen is, sooner or later he will be active on the Chinese political stage in the future......
