690 The World of Blood and Fire XVI Breakthrough

As an American diplomat who believed in God, Mr. Jensen was certainly not tempted by beauty, he just smiled at the girl slightly, did not ask the other party's name, and followed him to the headquarters of the Gongei Society on the 8th floor.

Unlike the last time Yasuo Yasuda visited, it has been carefully decorated as a reception venue. Although the election year will not be until next year, it is clear that the pre-election campaign for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association has already begun. Today's event is a fundraising and autograph party, inviting people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the He chaebol or well-known people of the He clan, the scene is also a strong Japanese style of food and snacks, a gramophone placed in the corner is playing melodious Japanese classical music, and some kimono beautiful girls shuttle back and forth, some are also carefully carrying various brands of Japanese sake on a tray, and when they see whose cup is empty, they will go over to fill it up diligently.

Many of the guests had already arrived, all whispering and laughing, some dressed in traditional kimonos, others wearing Chinese robes or cheongsams, and most of them speaking Chinese not very fluently. The girl who had accompanied Jensen in smiled and nodded at Jensen, and walked to an office with a "President" sign on it. Jensen stretched out his ears and acted as a listener, his Chinese language was very good, better than most of the citizens of the Chinese Federation in this room!

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ After the French War, there was already a trend of integration in Europe, and German Chancellor Adolf Hitler publicly mentioned the concept of the 'European Community under German leadership' for the first time in a speech in Berlin a few days ago. In the New World, the United States was the absolute leader, and it is said that President Roosevelt also intended to establish the 'Community of American States'. This shows that there is already a trend of unification in the world, and although the final reunification is still far away, it is certain that several super-large countries will appear in the future. Under these circumstances, the Sino-Japanese alliance has become inevitable, otherwise how can the divided East Asian nations confront a unified Europe and the Americas? Ladies and gentlemen, we at the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Association very much hope to ...... I very much hope to play the role of a promoter of China-Japan integration and greater East Asian integration. In addition to raising funds for next year's election, we hope that you will sign a petition to abolish the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty. โ€

Good! This damn peace treaty must be abolished, but considering the relationship between the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association and Chang Ruiqing, I am afraid that behind this wishing event is the meaning of this Prime Minister Chang Da! But I've never heard of the Community of American States or anything. Jensen took a long sip of sake and thought with a smile.

"Did you hear that? Our Wehrmacht has won another great victory in Central Asia. It is said that it was still decisive, and a large Soviet stronghold called the Ferghana Basin was defeated, and two army groups were completely annihilated. Now Central Asia is ours! I heard that His Excellency the Prime Minister also planned to organize the Mslin of Central Asia to go to India to help the Mslin there fight the world, and he will not come back after he goes...... In the future, Central Asia will become another key point of immigration, which is a great victory for the East Asian nation to expand its production space to the west, and another great achievement of His Excellency the Prime Minister! Mr. Parliamentarian. Do you think our consortium should contribute to the development of Central Asia? โ€

"Of course, Miss Sun will definitely speak for you in front of the Prime Minister, with Miss Sun here, the share we and the clan consortium will not get too little in Central Asia."

"That's, that's, Miss Sun is our protector, but it's a pity that she's not Mrs. Chang......"

"So what? She has already given birth to four children for His Excellency the Prime Minister! โ€

Oh. It seems that Central Asia is really already in the pocket of the Chinese, and the Chinese chaebols are ready to compete for the huge market in Central Asia. I heard that Chang Ruiqing himself was a member of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, and one of his fathers-in-law, Pan Yucheng, had a close relationship with the Nanyang chaebol, while his teacher Xu Shuzheng was the representative of the Beiyang chaebol, and the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Association controlled the Hezu chaebol...... So the four major chaebols have been pinched by him! It seems that China's Changruiqing era will last for quite a long time, and it is a pity that Jiang Jshi, a fighter for democracy, will not be able to remain in the opposition for life.

"Mr. Jensen, I'm glad you accepted my invitation." A very pleasant-sounding female voice interrupted Jensen's thoughts. He turned his head and saw that it was Sun Yuexun, the new president of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, who had already greeted him.

Sun Yuexun is also a figure that Jensen and the U.S. Embassy pay attention to, in the eyes of Americans, this Miss Sun San is really interesting, as Sun Yat-sen's daughter, but Chang Ruiqing's crazy admirer, and she just pays wholeheartedly, and she has never even asked for the title of Mrs. Chang. For this reason, she was also ridiculed by the Kuomintang as "Chang Ruiqing's slave girl". However, looking at the fact that she now holds the fourth largest political party in China and has a huge amount of political funds, you can see that her efforts are definitely rewarding. If nothing else, it is very likely that the future prime minister of the Republic of Japan will be a member of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, either herself or her confidant.

This is also the reason why Jensen left the Kuomintang that had always been pro-American to get close to the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association. In the case of Germany's quick victory over France and the Second Hawaiian Campaign, it was already certain that it would end in the defeat of the United States. Washington no longer expects the United States to dominate the world. Germany, which dominates Central and Western Europe, surpasses the United States in both population and industrial power! Only natural resources are inferior to those of the United States, but after the Soviet Union was defeated by China and Germany, Germany's last shortcomings were no longer there. Germany will then be the most powerful country in the world! The United States can only be second, and Roosevelt could not be more aware of the reason why this second is not good. Therefore, there are only two paths in front of the United States: one is to unite with the Soviet Union to wage war with China, Britain and Germany, and strive to seize world hegemony by military means; The second is to try to break up the Sino-British-German alliance so that the United States can confront Germany after the war.

Roosevelt actually preferred the first option, but anti-Soviet sentiment in the United States did not allow Roosevelt to do so, and the Triple Alliance of China, Britain, and Germany seemed too strong for the United States to win even if it united with the Soviet Union -- the two defeats at the Battle of Hawaii had already severely undermined America's confidence in the war.

In the latter option, there are two alternatives. One is to win over the British; The second is to win over China. Roosevelt, of course, favored the former, but his American generals were unanimously opposed to the United Kingdom. The simple reason is that Britain is an empire on the verge of collapse, and if the United States unites with Britain, it will inevitably find ways to help Britain maintain its empire, while Germany and China will go all out to overthrow the British Empire. By any measure, it was much easier to overthrow the British Empire than to maintain it. So the United States must not co-opt the UK, China is the only option! And as long as it succeeds in winning over China, Japan will have no choice but to lose. After Japan's defeat, the Pacific Ocean became an inland lake between China and the United States, so that the United States could focus all its forces on maintaining the Atlantic defense line. In addition, compared with the small size of the United Kingdom, China is undoubtedly a very large market, and this market is also necessary for American capital and industry, so the American monopoly consortium is also inclined to unite with China.

Of course, winning over China is a long-term and arduous task. Because the friendship between China and Germany is quite strong, and there is a common enemy between them, the Soviet Union, it is impossible for anyone to divide the Sino-German alliance, at least until the fall of the Soviet Union.

However, Jensen decided to start the campaign immediately, and regarded Sun Yuexun and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association as the first breakthrough.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"The Americans want to invite you to visit Wรจn?"

In Nanjing's Tangshan Mansion, Chang Ruiqing, who had been busy all day, was lying on a recliner on the edge of a white-filled hot spring pool. While enjoying the massage of the opposite sex of President Sun Yuexun, I listened to her report on the meeting with US Ambassador Jensen during the day.

"Yes, he extended an invitation on behalf of the U.S. State Department to visit the United States as a member of the Council of the Great Chinese Federation."

"Hehe, Roosevelt seems to have been hurt by the Japanese GCD." As soon as Sun Yuexun finished speaking, Chang Ruiqing, who squinted his eyes as if he was recuperating, laughed: "Your Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association advocates Japan-China cooperation, and Americans have always opposed Japan-China cooperation in the past. By inviting you to the United States now, the free Japan that supports Saionji Konobo is a hint that they are ready to abandon their past positions in favor of Japan-China cooperation. โ€

Sun Yuexun's beautiful eyes turned, put the ** breast enhancement on Chang Ruiqing's sturdy back, and said softly: "Sir, this is a good thing, should I accept the invitation?" โ€

Chang Ruiqing smiled: "Then you can go to the United States for a trip, it's not a big deal anyway." You are just a member of the Senate, not a minister of the federal government, and what you say in the United States only represents the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Association, not the federal government. โ€

Although Sun Yuexun is not very old, she has been in the political arena for many years, so she can naturally understand Chang Ruiqing's words. The federal government still has to maintain its stance of "aiding Japan and resisting the United States", and at least nothing will change until the Soviet Union is defeated. But Sun Yuexun can talk about Japan-China cooperation in the United States. Everyone knows that she is Chang Ruiqing's person, and what she says in the United States must be Chang Ruiqing's meaning. If the Americans are really sincere, they will definitely take the opportunity to contact Sun Yuexun and Chang Ruiqing, although the matter of the United States may not be feasible for the time being. However, it is still necessary to understand the price code of the Americans, and it is difficult to say what the future world will look like, and there is no need to block the road of the United States now.

"Sir, when I get to the United States, do you want to contact Xiyuan Temple Gongwang?"

Chang Ruiqing squinted his eyes and smiled, Sun Yuexun has really grown a lot, and he can actually think of this layer, it seems that the evaluation of being big-chested and brainless is a little inappropriate. He thought for a while and said: "Don't take the initiative to contact them, if they can see the current general trend, it is estimated that they will come to the door by themselves, this is also an opportunity for them, if they grasp it, they will become a member of the political stage of the Great China Federation in the future, otherwise they can only be eliminated by history." โ€

Sun Yuexun nodded, and asked again: "So how should the Japanese GCD deal with it?" In case the conditions of the Americans are suitable, will they not ...... after the defeat of the USSR"

"Just tell them that if the Soviet Union is finished, how can the rule of the Japanese GCD in Japan be maintained? There is only one way out in front of them, merging with Zhongg, so that they can not only save their lives and property, but also retain a certain political future.

Takeda is not a fool, he will understand this. If he does not completely surrender to us, even if we do not join forces with the Americans, he will not be able to defeat the Yankees, and when the United States occupies Japan, they will have no place to die. And I guess his Japanese GCD won't last at all, and then it will be overthrown by the Japanese themselves...... But Xiaomei (referring to Sun Yuexun), so you don't have to worry about not being able to elect GCD in the Republic of Japan in the future, and then your Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association will be the third largest party in the parliament. โ€

Sun Yuexun shook her head and said solemnly: "Sir, it's not my Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association, it's your Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association." You are the sole leader of the Co-Prosperity Society, if you can become the President of the Co-Prosperity Society......"

"Don't talk about it again!" Chang Ruiqing waved his hand impatiently, squinted his eyes again and began to enjoy the massage. Of course, Sun Yuexun understands his thoughts, and of course he has to find a way to strengthen his party when he sits in the position of chairman of the Gongrong Association. And making yourself the chairman of the Co-Prosperity Association is of course the quickest way, and the same request was also put forward by Zhang Junmai and Zeng Qi. However, Chang Ruiqing is unwilling to break the political pattern of the now stereotyped federation and the respective territories of the four major political parties.

Now the GCD represents the interests of the left and the center-left, the Kuomintang is the spokesperson of the center-right, the National Socialist Party is the right, and the Co-Prosperity Association represents the various nationalities newly integrated into the federation (although assimilation is the general direction, but someone still needs to speak for them in the process), as for the Progressive Party, they are just a bunch of Beiyang bureaucrats who have no mass base, and I am afraid that they will bubble. For such a pattern, Chang Ruiqing is very satisfied. Because in his view, political parties are agents elected by certain interest groups, and each political party should serve its own supporters and speak for them in parliament. Rather than dreaming of being a person who represents the interests of both the working class and the bourgeoisie; Or the All-People's Party, which represents both the citizens of the new federation and the interests of the Han Chinese, although he himself is now a leader who represents the interests of the whole people.

Because in Chang Ruiqing's opinion. All-people leadership is feasible, and there are precedents for success. There are many leaders like Chang Ruiqing who rely on the military to seize power, then use state power to mediate between various classes, implement personal dictatorship in the name of democracy, and then restrict political freedom to ensure social stability and achieve rapid economic development. In Europe, this approach was known as "Bonapartism" and first appeared in France. Its representatives are Napoleon I and Napoleon III. According to the comments of later non-Marxist sociologists and historians, this kind of Bonapartism is likely to be a transitional stage that many countries with strong traditions have not been able to bypass in the process of modernization. Therefore, it is very suitable for China's national conditions, in fact, what I have done over the years is secretly in line with the principles of Bonapartism, but ...... You can be the Napoleon Bonaparte of China, but you can't let a certain party become Napoleon Bonaparte! Because the power of the individual can never be compared with the political party, no matter how high his prestige is, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot defeat death, and the day has finally passed away of the Bonapartist dictator. But a Bonapartist party would hold power for a long time in the name of the people.

Moreover, it is unrealistic for this Bonapartist party to represent several classes with conflicting interests for a long time, after all, the party is still composed of people, and people always have a selfish nature...... Unless the party is made up of saints who are not self-interested and exclusively interested in others, in the end the party will inevitably evolve into representing the special interests of one of the classes which is most beneficial to the majority of its members.

The so-called all-people party will be reduced to an instrument of dictatorship on behalf of one class, while the other classes of the country will be reduced to the object of the oppressed dictatorship, with no political rights and their economic interests will sooner or later be deprived. In the end, the only way to fight is through a violent revolution!

Therefore, while Chang Ruiqing became a Bonapartist leader, he has always avoided the emergence of a Bonapartist party, and has not adopted a severe suppressive attitude towards the Kuomintang that has left opinions on politics with him. At the same time, it also fostered two new small parties, the National Socialist Party and the Co-Prosperity Association, so that all strata could have their own spokespersons in politics. In this way, any conflicts of interest and contradictions between the various classes can be brought to parliament for discussion. It is even possible to engage in street protests, rather than slowly accumulating the momentum to erupt like a volcano that has been forcefully suppressed......

Just when Chang Ruiqing was complacent about his political arrangement, the door of this open-air hot spring bath was suddenly pushed open, and then there was a rush of footsteps.

"Sir, urgent report from the General Staff and the National Intelligence Service!" It was Adjutant Chen Xinrui who broke in, she smiled apologetically at Sun Yuexun, who was wearing a bathrobe, and handed a stack of Wen Jiร n to Chang Ruiqing. "The General Staff received a report from the Siberian Front that air force reconnaissance had detected that the Soviet army cluster in Krasnoyarsk was moving eastward, most likely to launch a major counteroffensive.

The National Intelligence Agency has detected the latest conscription and expansion plan of the Soviet Union, and the age of conscription has been relaxed to under 45 years old and over 16 years old, and at the same time, female soldiers between the ages of 18 and 22 have been recruited! The National Intelligence Service estimates that after this round of mobilization, the total strength of the Soviet Red Army is likely to reach more than 22 million.

In addition, the British ambassador, Sir Judkan, and the head of the British delegation, Major General Mountbatten, had already arrived at the official residence, and they said that the Soviet Indian Front and the Indian Red Army would soon launch a large-scale military offensive, and that the Indian battlefield had reached the most dangerous moment. โ€
