"Sir, this is the government report sent by Vice Premier Zhang." Secretary-General Gao Xiaowen walked into the dining room of Tangshan Mansion with a large briefcase, handed the briefcase to Chang Ruiqing, and then nodded to several Mrs. Chang who were eating breakfast around the table.

Sitting opposite Chang Ruiqing is the prime minister's wife, Chang Wang Ruonan, who is now a plump and mature woman in her thirties, and a mother of four children - fortunately, the Great Chinese Federation of this time and space does not have the Family Planning Commission, otherwise the fine for overbirth alone would make Premier Chang Da bankrupt. Chang Wang Ruonan is still the chairman of the Iron and Blood Comrades Association, but he has resigned as a director of Bank of China, China National Petroleum and China Iron and Steel and other joint-stock companies. The reason for this is the recent decree of the Federal Parliament on the prevention of collusion between officials and businessmen, which prohibits the spouses of the spouses of the officials of the federal government at all levels (i.e. the officials elected to power through the guò, but also the cabinet and staff, as well as ambassadors and consuls in foreign countries) from engaging in any business activity, and also requires the disclosure of the professional and business investment activities of the main relatives of the federal officials. As for the disclosure of family assets of federal civil servants (including officers), the system has been in place for more than a decade. Therefore, Chang Ruiqing's four registered wives have now resigned from their positions in business organizations, except for Chang Wang Ruonan, all of whom have become housewives with husbands and children.

Of course, this is not to say that these officials of the Great Chinese Federation are now unable to seek benefits for their children, spouses and lovers. In fact, this bourgeois democratic constitutional system itself is the biggest **, and the appointment and dismissal of administrative officials and the election of parliamentarians in the federal federation have always been full of all kinds of behind-the-scenes transactions and transfer of interests! For example, Chang Ruiqing's favorite mistress, Sun Yuexun, was supported as the chairman of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association. He has been elected as a member of the Federal Council for several consecutive terms, and now he has become the Minister of National Education of the Federation, and let a second wife become the Minister of National Education! The impact is understandably bad. However, such behavior is completely in line with the rules of the game of democratic constitutionalism. Since the central government did not receive more than half of the votes in the last general election, the current federal government is a coalition government, and as the leader of the third largest parliamentary party participating in the coalition government, it is natural for him to become a minister. And Chang Ruiqing's other mistress, the killer-turned-Zhen Xiaoru, has now also left the National Intelligence Agency to represent the National Socialist Party in the Shanghai constituency, and has also been successfully elected as a federal legislator! As for the Secretary-General and the Adjutant General of the Prime Minister's Office, two positions that also fall under the purview of the Parliamentary Officer. was also arranged by Chang Ruiqing to his mistresses Gao Xiaowen and Chen Xinrui! And Chang Ruiqing also plans to arrange for Gao Xiaowen to participate in the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association in the next parliamentary election, and take over Sun Yuexun's constituency (Chang Ruiqing estimates that the Japanese mainland will be occupied by then. Sun Yuexun will go to fight in the constituency of Japan), and Chen Xinrui will also retire from active service and join the National Socialist Party to run for federal parliamentarians in Nanyang......

However, Chang Ruiqing's arrangement of these four lovers who have followed him for many years to the throne of parliament is not a whim, he is actually seizing the "territory" for his sons in advance. The current democratic constitutionalism of the Federation of Great China follows the line of the family government, similar to Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand in another time and space. Although it is also a democratic government. But there is still a strong feudal tradition. The vast majority of "directly elected" legislators run their constituencies as private territory, and leave the "territory" to their children as the basis for their political careers after they retire. Even the Party Central Committee will find it difficult to force them to "give up" a constituency that has been in operation for many years.

Therefore, Chang Ruiqing arranged for his most confidant lover to seize a few more pieces of territory in the initial stage of China's democratic constitutionalism, so that he could arrange his sons to take over in the future! In order to build the Chang family into a political family that can dominate the political arena of the Federation of Great China for a long time -- including one member of the political council and one legislator in the Xuzhou constituency controlled by Chang Ruiqing and Chang Ruiyuan's brothers, the future Chang family can firmly hold at least six seats in the direct election of the federal government.

Therefore, from this point of view, democratic constitutionalism is indeed much more important than the people's democratic dictatorship! It's just that there is one more voter voting procedure, and this blatant ** can be put directly into the sun. Because there is no one who can question whether the voters voted for the most suitable candidate, let alone question the plain feelings of the voters of the Great China Federation.

Compared with. The officials of the Great Chinese Federal Government are much more pitiful, and on the one hand, there is limited room for promotion. On the one hand, the high-ranking political officials will not seek any benefits for them (after all, they are not the basis for the political officials to come to power), and they are also stared at by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the parliament and the media, and the space is really limited. Chang Ruiqing imitated the "Li Jiapo" of another time and space in this regard, on the one hand, he engaged in the family affairs of giving and receiving private affairs, and on the other hand, he used severe punishment and harsh laws to crack down on the corruption of petty civil servants in order to curry favor with the voters, which is really reactionary! Therefore, the citizens of the Great China Federation were not very willing to serve the "imperial court", and no one took the civil service examination of the Federation, and there was absolutely no grand occasion for thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge. In the same way, it also blocked the road for the children of the poor family to climb to the high position of the political arena through their personal struggle. Therefore, although the Great China Federation has implemented democratic constitutionalism in this time and space, the phenomenon of political government seems to be stricter and more blatant!

In fact, democratic voting itself is also a special relationship of interest transfer, to put it bluntly, politicians seek benefits for voters in exchange for votes. Therefore, democracies, especially those with more developed economies or more abundant resources, tend to have more or less "high welfare" and tend to distribute social wealth in favor of the largest class of voters - the middle and lower classes of society. At present, such signs have begun to appear in the Federation of Great China, and major political parties and high-ranking politicians have organized or co-opted trade unions and peasant associations of various names, and have taken the initiative to act as their political umbrellas.

As a result, the trade unions and peasant associations in the Federation of Great China were extremely arrogant. Strikes and protests against the capitalists were often launched, and although the federal politicians also accepted donations from the big capitalists, no one dared to stand on the side of the capitalists in the event of a labor dispute. At most, we will carry out some mediation work from the left and right. As more and more citizens of the Federation with compulsory education grow up to become voters, this situation becomes more and more serious, and even begins to affect the international competitiveness of the Federation of Greater China...... It seems unlikely that the future Federation of Greater China will become some kind of "international factory". It is also impossible to use cheap and high-quality industrial products to impact the European and American markets, resulting in the hollowing out of the economies of developed countries in Europe and the United States!

So, in a sense, democracy is not only imperfect, it's a double-edged sword. And whether Chang Ruiqing's introduction of this system into China is a blessing or a curse, and whether it is a pros or cons to the future development of the country, even he himself is difficult to figure out. He can do it now. It is only to use this world war to fight for China's living space and resources as much as possible. At the same time, it will also try to suppress the Red India under the leadership of the GCD, which is most likely to replace China as the world's factory, and the wages and benefits of American and European workers will certainly not be much lower, and the theocratic Arab empire will not be able to become the world's factory, and the Indian GCD will embark on the path of reform and opening up. Maybe it can become the Celestial Empire of this plane!

Just as Chang Ruiqing hurriedly finished breakfast and was about to start reading Zhang Junmao's government affairs report, he saw Chang Ruiqing's adjutant Chen Xinrui hurriedly appear at the door: "Sir, Chief of Staff Pan of the East India Front asks to see you." ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded. smiled at Pan Xiaoqian next to him: "Xiaoqian." I told you last night that your brother has come back from India, so you can ask him to prepare, and invite him and Pan Gong to the official residence for a light meal tonight. As he spoke, he closed the text in his hand, handed it to Gao Xiaowen, and then strode out with Chen Xinrui.

Pan Wenzhao flew to Nanjing after a night of flight, so what Chang Ruiqing saw was a dusty second son of Pan, and his eyes were bloodshot. Although he was fighting hard, he still looked very tired. saw Chang Ruiqing coming in a hurry. He hurriedly stood up and saluted. Chang Ruiqing smiled: "Wen Zhao, don't be polite to me." Come in and say, what's the situation in India? Is it time for Armageddon? ”

Pan Wenzhao nodded, handed a bulging briefcase to Chen Xinrui, and then entered the prime minister's office with Chang Ruiqing. Inside the briefcase was a plan for the decisive battle of the East Indies, Chen Xinrui opened the briefcase and checked it, and walked into the office without finding any problems, and put the text in the briefcase on the desk in front of Chang Ruiqing.

Chang Ruiqing and Pan Wenzhao sat down face to face, but he wouldn't look at the battle plan. Although his own military qualities were quite good, he had a lot of official duties and did not have much time to ask specific operational questions. Under normal circumstances, the battle plans handed in by the following armies will be finally checked by the General Staff, and sent to Chang Ruiqing here is only a formality.

"Wen Zhao, does the East India Front need to increase its troops?" Chang Ruiqing glanced at the thick battle plan and asked.

Pan Wenzhao nodded, and replied in a calm tone that only the most professional senior staff officers have: "The determination of the Indians is very great, and the air force's reconnaissance and decipherment of the Indian army's cipher code show that they have not only put the general reserves of the five group armies around Delhi into the northeast battlefield, but also transferred the troops of the Northwest Front...... It seems that our offensive in Central Asia and Siberia has already played a role in confusing the Indian army. The Front Command estimates that the Indian Army may eventually send 800,000 to 1 million reinforcements to the Northeast Front. If we want to secure a total victory, we have to commit 1.5 million men to the northeastern Indian theater. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded, and from his expression, he couldn't tell whether he agreed or disagreed, but asked lightly: "Does it include the army of Allah?" ”

Pan Wenzhao shook his head and said, "No, the Allah army is now dismantled to control the place, this work is very important, if we can't grasp the local power in Northeast India, sooner or later we will fall into the quagmire." ”

Chang Ruiqing muttered: "1.5 million people is not a small number, although the pressure on the battlefields in Central Asia and Siberia is not great now, but the Japanese still have to guard against it." They are now gathering naval and army forces, and on the surface they seem to be preparing to go south to Australia, but it is difficult to say whether they will attack the north in the south. ”

Now Yasuda Yasuo is a member of the Red Navy's Combined Fleet Political Committee, staying on the Akagi, the flagship of the Combined Fleet, all day long, and his contact with Zhang Guotao has almost been cut off, so Chang Ruiqing's grasp of Japan's movements is not as good as before.

Pan Wenzhao shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, it is precisely because of Japan's ill intentions. It is only in India that we should show the greatest strength and break the main force of the Indian Red Army with a thunderous force. Only in this way can Japan be deterred from having the heart of a northern attack. If the war in India is at a stalemate. Japan's actions will be even more unpredictable! ”

Chang Ruiqing was silent for a while before nodding with a smile: "Wen Zhao, you put these Wen Jiàn here, and I will ask the people from the General Staff to come and pick them up." As long as Zhao Youlin nodded, I have no problem here. Well...... If there's nothing to do, you can go home and have a look first, and let's have a light meal with Ling Zun at the mansion tonight. ”

……

Tokyo, Japan.

The capital of red Japan. Something has been quietly happening lately. The spring breeze of "revisionism" has blown from the Nanyang Federation to the Japanese mainland! Private business activities that have disappeared for many years have reappeared on the streets of Tokyo! But after all, it was still a time of war, and the camp in which Japan was located was a little bit of a bad thing. As a result, the market in Tokyo is still very depressed. There is almost no capital from abroad. There is still a shortage of goods available for sale, with only a small number of light industrial goods from China being sold in the "Friendship Shops" that specialize in high-end imports. However, it is not enough to buy these goods in Japanese yen, but you need a special currency called "foreign exchange huàn coupons".

There are two ways to obtain this currency, one is for Japanese in China or the Nanyang Federation to send Chinese dollars (Chinese dollars can be freely bought and sold in the Nanyang Federation) to their Japanese relatives. The Bank of Japan will use the official exchange rate to force the exchange of these Chinese dollars. Of course, the Bank of Japan does not pay Japanese yen, but this kind of "foreign exchange huàn coupon" that can be used in the friendship shop; Another way, of course, is to buy through the black market. In Japan today, the black market is rampant, and any kind of planned supply can be bought on the black market at a higher price.

Along with imported goods and foreign exchange coupons, there is one other thing that has entered Japan, and that is the two very dangerous ideas of "bourgeois liberalization" and "greater East Asian integration" from China! Because a large number of He people who work and live in China often attach letters when they send money to China. Tell their Japanese relatives about their living conditions in the Great China Federation, although most of the Chinese people are not wealthy, but in the eyes of their poor Japanese relatives, it is as if they are living in paradise! Other than that. The bits and pieces about the Great China Federation that came back from the Nanyang Federation have also shocked the current Japanese...... One before the Sino-Japanese War in 1923. A country that is significantly lagging behind Japan in terms of social economy is now developed like this! Well, it's not that China is too developed, it's that Japan has declined greatly after the revolution!

All of a sudden, this feeling of loss began to sweep through Japan, and the dissatisfaction with Japanese GCD that countless people had suppressed in their hearts gradually began to show signs of exploding.

However, Yasuo Yasuda, who rushed back to Japan from the Hawaiian front, does not feel the dissatisfaction of the Japanese people. Because he was being troubled by the unfavorable shape of the Pacific War...... After entering the third year of this war with the United States, Japan finally began to lose the upper hand because of its industrial disadvantage! In particular, after the "Third Hawaiian Campaign" in June, the Japanese army was no longer able to capture Oahu, which had been reinforced by air forces. Therefore, abandoning the Hawaiian war and implementing the southward policy has become the only way out for Japan now.

Yasuda's car was parked at the gates of the Akasaka Imperial Palace, the center of power in red Japan that was now filled with cars with Navy and Army license plates. It seems that Takeda Heng is rallying his generals to find a way out for the future of Red Japan, right? Thinking of this great Japanese leader who treated him well, Yasuda Yasuo could only let out the heaviest sighs from his chest, as a "quasi-bystander", he already saw the bleak future of red Japan. No matter how hard Takeda and others try, the country will inevitably slide into the deepest abyss!

"Yasuda-kun, I want you to be my special envoy and make another secret visit to China."

In a Japanese-style room in the Akasaka Imperial Palace, Yasuda Yasuo meets the great leader of Japan, who has seen a rather ugly appearance, and two women that Yasuda has never seen before are waiting for Takeda. Yasuda knew that they were Takeda's mistresses, and in terms of lust, Takeda was comparable to the Chinese premier, but Takeda's body was far worse than Chang Ruiqing's.

"Do you want to negotiate secretly with Chang Ruiqing?" Yasuo Yasuda looked at Takeda and asked in a low voice.

Takeda shook his head with a wry smile and waved his hand, allowing the two favorite concubines to retire temporarily. "Nominally, of course, I'm going to see Chang Ruiqing, but in fact, the people you're going to meet are Toddman and Jensen."

"Toddman? Jason? Who are they? "Yasuo Yasuda has not heard of this name.

"Oscar. Paul. Toddmann was Ambassador of the German Empire to the Greater Chinese Federation. Nelson. Janssen, U.S. Ambassador to China," Takeda Heng, sighed: "Recently, the Indian Red Army has been defeated by the Chinese, and the Soviet Red Army has been defeated on the Western Front, and Chinese resumed the offensive on the Eastern Front a few days ago, and the situation in the Middle East is not good...... China and Germany were massively increasing their troops there, and the armies of the Arab Empire were rapidly expanding. It seems that the war will be decided next year, and the future world is likely to be a triumvirate between China, the United States, and Germany, and it is time for us in Japan to consider a change of court......"
