Part 4 Chapter 214: Eight Faces of the Enemy (12)
"You want to ask me, why do you want to release Liu Bailiang and them? Still entrusted with important tasks? β
Liu Qianhua asked indifferently, and the fan in his hand was blocked in front of his chest.
Pan Guochen gritted his teeth and simply let go: "No, it's more than that. With all due respect, the emperor has been just a phoenix body lately, and he has already caused people's hearts to fluctuate and rumors are spreading, if there are really three longs and two shorts, I am afraid that there will be another bloody storm......"
Liu Qianhua put down the fan, sat up with her hands on the pillow, her eyes were as bright as the moon, and her heart was thorough.
"What do you mean, not only did I not arrange what happened after my death, but I let the tiger return to the mountain, one day I am suddenly gone, if the other party counterattacks, the first to suffer is you henchmen - right?"
Pan Guochen bowed his head and was silent, and he should acquiesce.
Liu Qianhua stretched out her hand and put her head together, her long silk hair slid over her ears, and spread it on the soft couch embroidered with gold on the plain bottom.
"This summer has gone by so fast, and it's almost August in the blink of an eye."
Pan Guochen replied with a confused face: "Yes, it will be the first anniversary of the '82 coup' soon." β
Liu Qianhua smiled faintly: "Do you think that in fact, in the past year, we have not been able to change anything." β
Pan Guochen was puzzled: "How can nothing change?" In the past year, the emperor has overthrown the extremist faction in the military department headed by Liu and Zhang, liquidated the small private clique of Liu and Zhang, and also controlled the General Staff in terms of personnel, politically limited the influence of the military department, and assimilated most of the group members ideologically. β
Liu Qianhua tilted his head and asked: "Pan Guochen, let me ask you, if you give a public speech to your subordinates and say that it is time to make peace, how do you think they will react?" β
Pan Guochen paused for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "I may not say anything in person, I can't say anything behind my back, it's good to scold my country's thief JiΔn, it's hard to guarantee that there are not one or two 'righteous people' who are too deeply poisoned, I don't know when I wave a knife and rush into my office, come to a 'heavenly thief'." β
"Then what do you think are the subordinates of the other members of the group. Will it make any difference? Liu Qianhua asked.
Pan Guochen shrugged: "The military department has always fanned the flames, and the 'righteous soldiers' are all over the place; as for the civilian officials, there may not be righteous people who cut people with knives, and there is no shortage of 'public knowledge' who punishes people with a pen." Moreover, the 'righteous man' is sanctioned by the law of the country for cutting people, but the 'public knowledge' is incurable, so it seems that the angry youth on the civilian side are more harmful. β
"You said that the 'righteous people' and 'public knowledge' of those 'heavenly thieves' were poisoned too deeply. What is this 'poison'? And who ordered it when? β
Liu Qianhua continued to ask questions.
"This poison is the militaristic ideology of the old rìben empire in another time and space."
Pan Guochen lowered his head and thought about it. He continued: "The huge military-political bureaucracy led by the Future People clique and the cultural industry monopolized by the bureaucracy, business, and chaebol have packaged this ideology into night school literacy books, school textbooks, news reviews, novels, plays, movies, songs, and even children's games, and have repeatedly instilled and edified the entire nation for 20 years. As a result, there are the 'righteous people' and 'public knowledge' who wield knives and pens around us, and the 'new people' who are excited on the streetsβthe latter is responsible for coaxing, and the former is responsible for execution, and that's probably it. β
Liu Qianhua sneered: "Whether it is a 'righteous man', a 'public knowledge', or a 'new national', in fact, from an overall point of view. These people are only a minority of the few, but they dominate the whole of public opinion, and naturally represent the other 'silent majority' β why is this so? β
This time, Pan Guochen couldn't answer, so he had to shake his head honestly.
Liu Qianhua picked up the fan, got up, and looked at the moon by the railing.
"Because that's common sense."
"Common sense?"
Pan Guochen couldn't turn around for a while.
Liu Qianhua smiled sideways: "Do you want to know what I'm worried about?" I'm worried that even if I convince all the group members. The clique is also unable to carry out our strategy, because the power base of each of its members is the thousands of 'righteous men', 'public knowledge' and 'new people' - as you say, they are too poisoned, and the victories of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Eurasian and Russian Empires have not only given them the faith of the invincibility of the empire, but also made them extremely proud and fanatical of the eye-popping results since the beginning of the war. It is simply impossible to understand our painstaking efforts at this time. β
Pan Guochen clenched his fists and was a little excited: "But they can't represent the broad masses of the working class and the petty bourgeoisie, especially the 40,000,000 peasants!" It is the peasants who suffer the most from this war, not these rich and idle pretending criminals! β
Liu Qianhua turned around, her eyes as warm as water.
"But they can't make a sound, and even if they do, they can't get to the point. It is not formed, noisy and chaotic, and it is a rabble. Moreover, even the strata whose interests have been damaged have also been indoctrinated by militarism for 20 years, and sacrificing one's life for the country or something is not the root of it? The reason why the silent majority is silent is not because they have no ideas, but because they have no ideas, the key is the gain or loss, and going with the flow may not bring additional benefits, but confrontation with the mainstream is very likely to bring unimaginable troubles - without strong external interference, most people will make a rational economic choice. β
"Then enlighten them, mobilize them, and let them take charge of their own destiny."
The top of Pan Guochen's head did not appear with holy light, nor did he shine with the red star of the sickle and axe.
Liu Qianhua couldn't laugh: "Do you want me, as the emperor of the empire, to mobilize the workers and peasants to reform the life of my empire?" β
"Without this kind of awareness, what is the difference between you and Liu Bailiang?"
Pan Guochen took a lot of effort, and finally suppressed this cruel sentence in his heart.
Seeing Pan Guochen's face blushing there, Liu Qianhua sighed slightly, shook the fan lightly, and his tone suddenly changed: "Back to your original question, why do I want to pardon Liu Bailiang?" For unity. Regardless of whether our new strategy can be truly implemented, at least we must first do a good job of unity and unity of thought within the group. How can a ruling clique of dozens of people with different aspirations lead tens of millions of fanatical militarists to make the right choice with tens of millions of silent majority? β
"As for my condition, I have my own proportions, and the relevant arrangements are underway, so you don't have to worry too much. Even if something unexpected really happens, please don't act rashly, and be sure to follow the instructions of Lady Ye at that time......"
When Pan Guochen heard this, he was suddenly surprised: "Your Majesty...... Don't you ......?"
"Since you've asked, if I have three longs and two shorts or something, then I can't help but give you an explanation, that's all, don't think too much - you forget, I'm immortal."
Liu Qianhua squinted and smiled, waved the fan lightly with one hand, and clenched his fist in a "come on" posture.
At this second, Pan Guochen hardened.
In the next second, footsteps came from behind the two.
"Your Majesty, Chief of General Staff Gu has arrived."
β¦β¦ (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
PS: In the next second, there was footsteps behind the two of them.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is also hardened."
"Zhilu Dao, come by rank."
