The reason why the military chose to visit at this time is because Wang Maoru has now been elected president, and according to the election arrangement, Wang Maoru has two days to deal with personal affairs. First, the family of the new president will move into the presidential palace within these two days, and second, these two days are the buffer time for Wang Maoru to arrange personnel appointments, and now the government is still in charge of Tang Shaoyi, and two days later, Wang Maoru will begin to formally take over the government and form his own cabinet government.

So now that the military can finally come to visit him officially, Sa Zhenbing, Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Zuolin went to the presidential palace to meet Wang Maoru. After that, Wang Maoru talked freely with the military representatives, and it was quite interesting to talk about what happened in the military in the past two months, because the rotation of military posts was being carried out in an orderly manner, no military officers expressed opposition, and the Ministry of National Defense's control over the military was deepened. What makes Wang Maoru even more pleased is that the Ministry of National Defense has finally developed its own radio station, which is smaller, more convenient to carry, and has more power. This radio station has also gradually replaced the American-made radio station and gradually popularized its use in the military. Jiang Fangzhen believed that if feasible, the radio station would be popularized to the company level, and if necessary, the Ministry of Defense could directly communicate with the troops at the company level.

Wang Maoru laughed and said: "It's feasible, it's absolutely feasible, it seems that science and technology are still the first military force." ”

There are two wars this year, one is the battle with Soviet Russia in the heart of Central Asia at the beginning of the year, and the other is the battle against the virus in the second half of the year, and these two battles are extremely expensive. Don't look at the fact that the government has recovered the lost land and the concessions now, and is actually in debt. When Finance Minister Fang Hongxin handed over the deficit report to Wang Maoru. He smiled wryly and said, "Go ahead and borrow money from the bank." Fang Hongxin could only smile bitterly.

Regarding Wang Maoru's election as president, the young people and students rejoiced. People who care about politics are also quite interested, but for more ordinary people, they don't care so much.

In a remote mountain village in Zhili Province, two policemen in cotton clothes walked into the village and beat gongs and drums, calling the whole village to gather, the old and young masters in the village, the aunts and daughters-in-law have held the children and led the dogs, the last time the police came to summon the whole village, or said to ask everyone to cut their braids.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Today, Generalissimo Wang Maoru has been officially elected as the president of the Republic of China. A fat cop said.

"What do you mean by a great president?"

"What is the Republic of China?"

It's no wonder that there isn't even a single literate person in the village. More than ten years ago, everyone was still forced to cut their braids by the Beiyang military bayonets and guns, and asked with staring eyes one by one.

"He is the most powerful person in China." The fat cop explained, "The fucking Qing Dynasty has long been over, and now it's the Republic of China." ”

"Huh? Then how can our country live without an emperor? An old man said sadly.

The fat policeman cried and laughed: "Why can't you do it without an emperor." The Republic of China has been here for more than ten years. Didn't they all come here the same way? ”

The old man sighed vigorously, and the other old man said, "Old man Sun, don't you understand? Now our emperor is called Wang ...... What's going on? ”

"Wang Maoru." Said the fat cop.

"Yes, it's Wang Maoru." The old man said, "The current emperor's surname is Wang, and I haven't heard you clearly." ”

"Huh? He's an emperor, isn't he a great president? Sun Laohan said.

The old man said, "It's all the same thing." ”

"Thank goodness there are still emperors in China. We're going to get a good deal. Sun Laohan hurriedly kowtowed to God, and the two policemen couldn't cry or laugh. It's like a small village like Yangcun, which doesn't communicate with the outside world a few times a year, and the people who go out inquire about the news of the surrounding areas for a few miles at most, and the rest don't care about anything.

"Come on, let's notify the next village." The fat policeman pulled the little policeman aside and said, the little policeman wondered: "Master, why don't the people in this village even know about the country." ”

"Hehe, little people, what they live is their own one-third of an acre." The fat policeman smiled, "Don't talk about the country, the biggest officials they have ever seen are you and me, believe it or not?" Some of these bosses have never been out of the village ten miles away in their lives, believe it or not. Let's go, go to the next village. ”

On January 2 and 3, Wang Maoru completed handling all his personal affairs in two days, and privately met with political reserve forces such as Chen Yi, Yu Guifang, Fang Hongxin, Song Ziwen, Wang Yongjiang, Pan Fu, etc., and summoned all the people in the cabinet list that had been drawn up to discuss in the palace of General Shangwu. Naturally, these people already knew their place in the new government a month ago, but Wang Maoru was only uncertain about the succession of the prime minister. Now that it has been decided, Wang Maoru no longer hesitates, and discussed his personal positioning with everyone, asking individuals to start preparing their own set of teams.

On the evening of the 3rd, Wang Maoru officially stayed in the Presidential Palace, and at that moment, Vice Minister of National Defense Zhang Zuolin personally sent Wang Maoru into the Presidential Palace, Wang Maoru appointed Wu Resong as the director of the Security Department of the Presidential Palace, and appointed Diao Delong and Zhang Delei as the deputy directors of the Security Department, responsible for the security work of the Presidential Palace, and the Ministry of National Defense specially authorized the Security Department of the Presidential Office to carry out security work in the name of military in order to protect the security of the President, and to carry out indiscriminate attacks on those involved in the life safety of the President, and the Presidential Palace Guard awarded the regimental officer establishment and strengthened the number of soldiers in the battalion. The source of recruitment is limited to the selection of soldiers from the major military academies and the military. Naturally, the first batch of members of the presidential palace guard all came from Wang Maoru's Junior Guard, and their loyalty and secrecy were not to be worried.

Zhang Zuolin looked at the presidential palace and said with disdain: "Why is this place so shabby?" Someone explained to him, it turned out that Yuan Shikai lived in the original presidential palace, and later Yuan Shikai died, and Feng Guozhang was elected president, but it was Prime Minister Duan Qirui who was in power, Duan Qirui pinched Feng Guozhang's finances and did not give him money to repair the house, and then Sun Liwen became the president, but Sun was a thrifty person, compared to the presidential palace in Guangdong, it is obvious that the Beijing presidential palace is much more upscale. So that after such a circle, the presidential palace is not as magnificent as when Yuan Shikai was in power.

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "The presidential palace emphasizes a heritage, not a new school. ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "President, when you say this, my old Zhang looks a little tasteful." ”

On January 4, Wang Maoru announced his inauguration as president of the Republic of China in the congress hall, and the whole country rejoiced, the newspapers sang praises of merit, and the comments of various experts and professors were broadcast on the radio.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Senate held a meeting, and Premier Tang Shaoyi submitted a letter of resignation to the Senate, resigning from the post of premier, and all cabinet members resigned en masse, announcing that President Wang Maoru had officially begun to form his own cabinet.

The first is the issue of the candidate for the prime minister, he recognizes Gu Weijun and communicates with others, although Tang Shaoyi did not support or oppose Gu Weijun because of avoiding suspicion, but Wang Maoru is not shy about it at all.

At the moment, he nominated Gu Weijun for the post of premier of the Republic of China, and immediately won the help of members of the Senate of the National Assembly, and then Wang Maoru nominated twelve candidates for ministers and deputy ministers.

After a brief discussion in the Senate, Wang Maoru's new government cabinet was listed, and Wang Maoru began to have his own government cabinet members.

On January 4, the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, that is, the fourth day after the successful presidential election, Wang Maoru appointed Zhang Kuian as the director of the Secretariat of the Presidential Office and the spokesman, appointed Chen Xi as the director of the Confidentiality Division, appointed Zeng Zicheng as the director of the Reception Division, appointed Chen Xunen as the director of the Logistics Division, and Wu Resong, the director of the Security Division, the Presidential Office temporarily had five offices under its jurisdiction to serve the President Wang Maoru.

Wang Maoru, who ascended to the throne of power, did not feel the slightest relief, and the next task he faced was to take over the army again and sort out the mess of the Republic of China government. But fortunately, he immediately set up a staff office, with Tang Shaoyi as the chief of staff, to help him analyze and solve the current problems.

On the evening of January 4, Wang Maoru convened the first cabinet meeting at the presidential palace, at which Wang Maoru clarified the functions and responsibilities of the president and the prime minister in order to avoid a dispute between the government and the court in China. At this meeting, Wang Maoru first named the state system of the Republic of China as the presidential election system, and the absolute power enjoyed by the president is subject to the supervision of the House of Representatives. The prime minister only needs to be accountable to the president, and the prime minister is equivalent to a big butler of the president. The decisions of all governments are final on the decisions of the President, further narrowing the functions and powers of the Prime Minister and the National Assembly.

After Wang Maoru finished speaking, others immediately expressed their support, and the dispute between the president and the prime minister is over today, and there will never be a dispute between the government and the court in China, and the prime minister will become the real second-in-command.

Then Wang Maoru really threw out the topic: "Constitution, China needs a mother law, a constitution!" It has been 13 years since the Republic of China, and the official constitution has not been promulgated, which will be a great harm to the country. "The ministers don't know why Wang Maoru told them about the Constitution, after all, the National Assembly enjoys legislative power, and they are executive personnel who only enjoy executive power, but looking at Wang Maoru's squinting and smiling appearance, everyone said that the president must be a little bitter to the Congress.
