Zhang Shusheng has been living a very comfortable life recently, as if he has been reborn.

On the battlefield in the Far East, he showed his skills, destroyed dozens of tanks of the Japanese army, and let out a vicious breath. Strictly speaking, from Jingluo Southwest to Wending Heshan, Zhang Shusheng's road has been very smooth. Following the principle of seeking development while being steady in everything, he has achieved the highest prestige within the nation during the decades of implementing a national policy of being close to the people at home and an aggressive policy of expansion abroad, while externally, his enemies are afraid of him.

However, it is this kind of smooth life that seems to be repeated every day.

He spent most of his life confined to these places in Hanjing Mountain: the warm home of the Führer of Nanyuan—the Führer's office center of Dongyuan—the underground science and technology center—the pitiful number of inspections—the number of visits to almost zero.

It is these three places that trap Zhang Shusheng's life like a cage.

In his previous life, he was used to the life of dormitory-canteen-classroom, but he didn't expect to live such a life after being reborn, which made him feel more and more tired in his heart while the country's development was getting smoother and smoother.

Acting too rigid in secular etiquette, hindering large and small concepts, and following a traditional life, Zhang Shusheng felt very suffocated. It's not that he thought about such a thing, it's really that people can't help themselves in their position.

On this battlefield in the Far East, as the head of a country, he was able to have the opportunity to personally use weapons to deal with devils, although the results of the battle were incalculable compared to the entire blocking war, but for him, it was an unprecedented inspiration.

In the universe, some empires at the peak of the first-level civilization and the early stage of the second-level civilization, in the ground war or the battle of the landing planet, in fact, often use this kind of virtual unmanned combat vehicle, in the era of human rights and human life are frantically rendered, those soldiers can only sit in the interstellar battleship, and use one war machine after another to kill those enemies who are more backward in science and technology civilization. It wasn't until the advent of higher-tech land weapons that it became a weapon made by people themselves, because at that time, the requirements for space marines were already very high, and virtual piloting could no longer meet the needs.

Zhang Shusheng's behavior is tantamount to being a real soldier and a head of state who goes to the battlefield.

After that experience, his mind suddenly cleared up, and he rose from the confines of the micro-state on the planet to a freer and more far-sighted height. From blindly working hard for the country and the nation in the past, it has transformed into a desperate development of civilization while enjoying oneself and realizing the dual goals of oneself and civilization.

In the Far Eastern theater, the Chinese side was victorious.

With the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, he hastily launched a general offensive and mobilized two paratrooper divisions and three landing divisions, but he was still defeated in the collision with the Chinese armored cluster.

With the defeat of the air battle step by step, the defeat of the ground armored group, and finally the breakthrough plan of the ground infantry forces ended in failure.

In this general offensive that lasted only a little more than a day, the actual casualties on both sides were not large, the Chinese side suffered small losses, and the personnel losses on the army side were mainly due to the five divisions that were surrounded. In the end, only two of the five divisions were lucky enough to break through, and the other three divisions were dumplings. Of course, the responsibility does not lie with them, and a comparison with the original plan shows that they were supposed to flank and attack Upper and Lower Insk, but they were eventually surrounded by the other side.

It is said that the losses of the ground infantry in other areas were not large, and the losses of personnel were basically concentrated in the armored tank units.

The total number of tanks on both sides was more than 1,500 tanks on the Chinese side and more than 3,500 tanks on the Allied side, although the difference in contrast between this huge number was not as huge as that of a tank battle near Moscow that had just ended between the Germans and the Soviet Union, (2800:6500), but under the premise of superior air support, tank surnames can be superior, and Allied tanks can be uneven, China still won the victory. The end result was that more than 600 tanks were destroyed on the Allied side, and two more tank divisions were disembarked and surrendered. The overall losses, the losses of the Allies reached more than 900 tanks, and the rest ran fast and drove back.

However, the price paid by the Allies was that the armored tanks ran fast but left behind the two divisions of the Yue Army that were cooperating in the attack and turned them into artillery fire, and the overall losses of the Yue Army in this breakthrough battle reached five divisions. Although these divisions were not as large as they were during the war, they still numbered nearly 70,000 people.

However, after verification, except for one paratrooper division and one veteran 16th division, which are elite troops, the other divisions and regiments are all miscellaneous divisions and regiments that are not satisfied with the formation.

From this point, a very important issue is illustrated. At the same time as he was frantically expanding his army, the combat effectiveness of his troops had declined, and the new supreme commander of the Far Eastern Theater, Yamashita Fumi, was even more inclined to armored forces, and at the most critical moment of the war, he made the decision to abandon the encircled divisions and regiments, and concentrated all his efforts to provide conditions for the retreat of the armored clusters.

Of course, judging from the entire Far Eastern battlefield, the losses of the Yue army were far more than these, and at least the 80,000 square kilometers of coastal area of the Yue army were able to escape less than 100,000 people, and the vast majority of them became prisoners. China, which occupies the southern part of the Far East, is still far from recovering the lost territory of the historical Far East, but at least it is not as difficult as it was at the beginning to match one against three.

It is foreseeable that next, the Chinese side will enter a new period of offensive and defensive warfare in the Far Eastern theater and the Allied forces.

“…… Chairman, I don't think there is a need for us to rush to take over the Far Eastern hinterland at the moment.

The areas of the South-East and the region west of the Far East's belly near Siberia that we now occupy are already the main resource areas of the Far East. The Far Eastern territory retained by the Allies is currently not much in resources, sparsely populated, and there are strong fortifications and millions of Allied [***] troops left over from the Soviet War, and if they are forced to take it, the losses will be very large.

As for the concerns of some comrades, the United States will arm the Soviet armies and launch an all-out counteroffensive against us in the Far East, and this problem does exist, but we must also realize that the Americans cannot wholeheartedly support the Soviet Union in fighting a general offensive against us in the Far East, and they do not have the ability to arm an army that can completely defeat us.

Moreover, the United States has to take into account the whole world, and once something happens to India and Britain, the Americans will not hesitate to put the Far East on hold. ”

The Führer's Office has a small meeting area, which is a small internal meeting room reserved for high-ranking military and political personnel to come to the chairman's office to discuss important military and political affairs.

Zhang Shusheng is not used to going to the general assembly for everything, and if there are any important military and political affairs, he can set a direction by putting them in the office and talking with a few people.

In front of us was a small military and political meeting, with Premier Zhou Guolai, Chief of the General Staff Jiang Baili, Minister of National Defense Cai Yi, Director of the Special Intelligence Department Luo Feng, Minister of Operations Su Yuren, and Minister of Propaganda Wei Sancai.

What Jiang Baili just talked about is precisely the issue of strategic disposition in the Far Eastern Battlefield.

Everyone can understand that after all, this is not purely military, but mainly from the political level.

Zhang Shusheng, of course, is more supportive of this method, although the Allied army is now insufficient in strength and lack of supplies, but the Chinese side is also relatively large, in Central Asia, Siberia have concentrated a large number of mechanized troops. And if you concentrate your forces, it is possible to sweep across the Far East.

However, if we want to achieve a complete victory in the Far Eastern theater at present, not to mention the great sacrifices, it is better to race against time to seize the land of the Soviet Union, a large amount of land, few people, few enemies, waiting for China to absorb and occupy, and those Soviets are also waiting for the Chinese political axe to be domesticated, there are too many things to do. Among other things, the North Korean issue is much more urgent than that of the Far East.

Therefore, in a short period of time, it is impossible to decide the winner in the Far East, and on the other hand, there are variables in places such as India and Britain proper, and even in South America.

"Well, the problem of the Far East is not a matter of one or two days, there is still a long time to go, but the situation in the local area will naturally be affected by the global situation. At the moment, there is no need to rush to solve the problems of the Far East. ”

Zhang Shusheng nodded and said affirmatively.

This question was skipped, and Propaganda Minister Wei Sancai took the lead in proposing two things.

"Chairman of the National People's Congress, a number of free newspapers in China have recently once again put forward the idea of restoring the imperial system in a limited manner, and against this background of public opinion, some well-known figures without party affiliation have also jointly written a letter to the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, hoping to change the name of the country, restore the limited imperial system, and enhance the national status of the chairman."

Wei Sancai said as he noticed the demeanor of several people, including the chairman of the committee, but he could see a smile, obviously, at least a few people present supported this proposal.

"Restore the monarchy? There was a big market for this problem in 33 years, and many military and political dignitaries wanted me to be the emperor, and I also ridiculed them at the time, if I became the emperor, they would be able to be feudal courtiers, and they seemed to be ministers, but in fact they became new feudal nobles. Sancai, this proposal, I think it's better to put it away. At least for now, not very suitable. Zhang Shusheng shook his head, he didn't agree too much with this proposal, when the emperor was an emperor, before coming to this era, he might occasionally fantasize about it, but when it really came to this point, he had a different idea.

It's not the general trend of the times. If you really want to talk about the general trend of the times, among the other civilizations in the universe at present, there are the most imperial systems, followed by the federal system, the business alliance, and the republican empire.

Why? Because, when a country expands infinitely, so big that it cannot be maintained by law and party system, and when political parties and so-called Ming cooks can wantonly deceive and coax the people, the people need a strong one who regards the people as sons and regards the empire as their own, and who treats all those who are not good for the country as rebellious kings to rule the great empire.

In the face of a highly developed power system, the imperial system may not be rich in faint monarchs. In an era when civilization is less developed, material scarcity is scarce, and the entire civilization is more conservative, the emperor can't be stupid, greedy, and stupid. And in the face of a truly highly developed system of power, the imperial system will be supervised, the material is abundant, and the territory of the empire is extremely vast. At this time, the greed of the emperor is not a problem except for the greed of the enemy's territory, and the highly developed civilization is too easy to satisfy the ** of the individual.

And conversely, whether it is a partisan or a republican system, there is a fatal problem. The country is not its own, and the nation is not its own, so naturally it can be wantonly indulged. The interests of the parties, the interests of the party members, are too complicated, and it is often the interests of the state and the nation that give way to these political groups.

And the limited imperial power can do a lot of things.

At present, if we can not only exercise limited imperial power, but also serve the people to the greatest extent, in the eyes of those people, at least during the reign of Zhang Shusheng, the Chinese nation will have the strongest cohesion, the territory of civilization will continue to expand, and the people will share the fruits of victory brought about by the war to the greatest extent.

In essence, people are against tyranny, not against the person who is the emperor, and it doesn't matter what system you have, it's important to be able to live a good life. And many more people are because of the excessive worship of this god-like man, hoping that he will ascend to the peak of power.

Although Zhang Shusheng can guarantee that even if he becomes the emperor, he has absolute certainty of realizing limited imperial power and ensuring that the direction of civilization development does not deviate, after all, life span is there, and political foresight is there. However, he felt that now was not the time to talk about it.

"Chairman of the National Committee, my personal opinion is that if a limited imperial system is implemented and the imperial power is reinterpreted, it can not only maximize the cohesion of the power of civilization and the strength of the country, but also provide the strongest deterrent to the ruling class and ensure that the direction of the country's development remains unchanged." Although Wei Sancai knew that he couldn't mention this matter again, he still added it.

Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about this later." I'm not completely against it, but I don't support it either, go with the flow and let time choose. ”

In fact, he knew very well that once global unification was one day, the Baath Party would not be able to continue to exist. After all, it is impossible for everyone to serve the public, and the existence of imperial power can make the ruling class far more binding than a president, a chairman of the committee, or a president of the federation.

For a very large state, the so-called high degree of overt supervision does not exist at all, and conversely, the limited imperial power has more room to play.

Wei Sancai had no choice but to give up this proposal, and then mentioned his second question, "Chairman, next week is your birthday, what do you think the tone is this time." ”

Sheng said that Zhang Shusheng has not celebrated much about this matter, and a few relatives and friends get together.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also resolutely opposed extravagance and waste and large-scale personality cult activities, and he always opposed the celebration of the chairman's birthday. He does not advocate it, but as a propaganda minister, he keeps mentioning it every year, which is also a reason for the different angles of doing things.

"It's still the old rule, let Director Lu of the General Office decide to participate in the list, and I will personally pay for everyone to have a meal and get together. It's not that you can't, but you have to pay attention to the form. ”

This is also Zhang Shusheng's old method. At that time, Shusheng Company was very profitable, and Zhang Shusheng's habit was that he said that I had a treat, and everyone was invited to eat and drink, but not gifts.

As a result, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old people in the southwest period, some people who really can't be pushed away, still have to be invited. So, every year Zhang Shusheng's birthday, he personally paid for the wine in Xiyuan. The old habit of the southwest, swinging the dam and the feast. As a result, although it was a celebration of his birthday, it was actually a big gathering of Zhang Shusheng's family and military and political dignitaries, the Sun family, the Lu family, the He family, and many old friends, old soldiers, and personnel of Lao Shusheng's company. This gathering is not advertised to the public, and it is purely private.

And under this example, the military and political officials of the republic were strictly required from the very beginning not to accept gifts in any form under the pretext of marriage and funeral. You can put on a big show, but you have to pay for it yourself, you can't accept gifts, and you have to accept supervision.

Then there was Luo Feng, director of the Special Intelligence Department.

"Chairman, the situation in Tibet has been very bad lately. At the instigation of the British and the Americans, someone wanted to make trouble. ”

Although this sentence is short, it has released a very bad signal, making trouble, and the overall domestic politics are stable at present, not to mention the Han nationality and the vast majority of ethnic minorities, and even the problem in the northwest political region is not big. Although there are some problems, due to the adoption of the policy of large-scale migration and differentiation, full implementation of Chinese language education, and non-discrimination and non-specialization, the Uyghurs have been greatly dispersed and properly dealt with.

But in Tibet, it was very stable before. In front of Zhuge Sheng and Tie Sanqian, two people who were born as mountain bandits, a group of troublesome serf owners and opposition lamas were all properly cleaned up. The problem of excessive belief and deification of religion has also been changed by covert iron-fisted means, and even a famous palace has been turned into a tourist attraction.

"What's going on?" Zhang Shusheng asked vigilantly. The problem of Tibet has been around for a long time, and if it is not handled well, the problem is not big, but it is not conducive to the great integration of ethnic groups.

"It should be that some people, funded and instigated by the British and Americans, are wandering around the pastoral areas. Although there are no major problems at present, there are many areas involved, and I am afraid that there will be major problems in the future. Luo Feng said worriedly.

In the covert handling of the Tibetan issue after the founding of the People's Republic of China, one of the most important things was to send those important religious figures at the top of the country to 'voluntarily come to Qinghai or Mongolia to spread the teachings'. In this way, these people who have left the nest, even if they are not truly obedient to the central government, will not be able to reach them.

Now, however, some minions, instigated by foreign enemies, are trying to seize the religious power vacuum.

"Let's talk about it, too." Zhang Shusheng wanted to solve the problem once and for all this time, not necessarily by force, but it must be properly solved.

Subsequently, people, including Zhou Guolai, talked about some of their own views and suggestions, which were generally radical, but most of them were conservative.

Zhang Shusheng thought carefully about these people's proposals, but finally made a different decision.

"Well, I'll go to Tibet and see how they're doing, and if it's because of the policy mistakes of the political axe, those people have been left behind."

Zhang Shu vividly expressed the idea of going to Tibet, and he firmly believed that it would be impossible to make any decision on a matter of this level without personally inspecting it, and making any decisions about literature or martial arts.
