Chapter 15: I Want to Collect the Southwest (2)
The series of questions raised by Liu Yuan did make Chiang Kai-shek very uncomfortable, but he could not refute that the Southwest Special Administrative Region has now grown into a giant, or rather, they have grown into a country.
There are two forms of structure of the state, one is a unitary system and the other is a composite system, and now with multiple special zones, China has clearly become a composite state.
It's a bit like the states in the United States, which have their own governing bodies, their own bills, and their own troops, and the central government's ability to control the localities is much lower.
Chiang Kai-shek knew that it was a little early to bring the Southwest Special Administrative Region into the central government at this time, but Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to do his best.
"I also know what you are worried about, to be honest, there are indeed some officials in the organization at present, who are very greedy for ink, and if so many projects fall into their hands, they will definitely pull out a layer of skin, this kind of bureaucratic habit is very serious, mainly because of the legacy of the Great Revolution, which has not yet been solved." Chiang Kai-shek said to Liu Yuan that it was not that he did not want to solve these problems, but that if he forcibly solved them, then he would suffer the heaviest loss.
"That can't allow the officials of the central government and the southwest SAR to convection. Lushan and Nanchang civil servant training groups, training department a lot of new civil servants, they have to work for the people sooner or later, I want to implement the southwest model in the country, the southwest is a good place for them to practice, and there are many officials in the southwest who are too good, it is really a pity to be limited to the southwest. Chiang Kai-shek said with a sigh.
This sentence is not really for himself, but he feels that many people are really a pity in the southwest, Chen Yun, Li Zhilong, Chen Yannian, Li An, Song Ziwen, who are not the pillars of a country, but they are stuck in a province by Liu Yuan, which is really a pity.
"The economic base determines the superstructure, the southwest you see today is the result of the change of his economic base, my officials bring it to your center, they will naturally become bad, this is the root of the ground is not right, and the flowers on it will not look good, if the principal wants to really make a difference, then he will learn from the Red Party and attack himself, men must be ruthless to themselves, in order to really grow, sometimes a compromise is a crime." Liu Yuan reminded him.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded very seriously, there was another person who told him these words, that is, his own Mr. Kong Ming Yang Yongtai, and only Liu Yuan and Yang Yongtai dared to say this to him, if the others said this, they would have been shot by him a long time ago.
And these two people persuaded him like this, but he listened to it, and did not even refute it, he knew who supported him, the big landlords and the big bourgeoisie, their existence is to oppress the people, and his own officials are also for those big landlords and big bourgeoisie, and this will not be changed for a while.
And Chiang Kai-shek also knew very well that the times had changed, this was no longer an era of relying on landlords to become kings, this era needed the people to support themselves, because there was a personality factor The existence of the Red Party, whether true or not, was good for the people, but one thing was true, as long as it did not stand on the same front with the people, the Kuomintang would one day perish.
"Principal, it is inevitable that the Southwest Special Administrative Region will accept the central government, I will not let the southwest be divided forever, if it is divided, the country will not agree, and the people will not agree." Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's thoughtful appearance, Liu Yuan didn't want Chiang Kai-shek to be too embarrassed, so he changed his tone and said to Chiang Kai-shek, "But the steps must be taken step by step, the Southwest Special Economic Zone can accept trained party members, members of the Three Youth League, and civil servants to go to the southwest for internships, and if they perform well, they can stay in the central government, and if there are civil servants and party members in the southwest who are interested in the Southwest Special Economic Zone, we can also give the green light." If this continues, the ties between the central authorities and the Southwest Special Economic Zone will be strengthened, and within 10 years, the central authorities will have sufficient influence over the Southwest Special Economic Zone, and there will be no need for the Southwest Special Economic Zone to exist for a maximum of 20 years. Liu Yuan said with a smile.
"And where are you going?" Chiang Kai-shek asked suddenly.
Liu Yuan made a grimace with a smile, "I, of course I want to rest, I have been fighting all these years, but my body has been hurt thoroughly, and when the time comes, I will ask the central government for a long vacation, take my wife, and walk around the place where my ancestors stayed." ”
Chiang Kai-shek was also amused by Liu Yuan, he and Kong Xiangxi calculated that Liu Yuan and the Elite Alliance of Strong Powers invested a total of 30 billion US dollars in the development of the Southwest Special Economic Zone, and this is a conservative figure, and a man who has made such a big investment is still willing to give up these hands, how much determination is needed, Chiang Kai-shek thinks that he will never be able to do it.
"Okay, I promise you, just do what you do." Chiang Kai-shek made a choice in his heart, "At most, eight years later, he will hold the Southwest Special Zone in his hands." ”
"Fuguo, there is one more thing, that is, the matter of the weapons produced by our Southwest Special Economic Zone, you better pay attention." Chiang Kai-shek reminded Liu Yuandao.
"Is the headmaster referring to the batches of weapons that Zeng Guangqing took away from me?" Liu Yuan responded.
"That's not the case, the Red Party took our weapons, then they were going to fight the devils, and they had extremely heavy losses in a head-on confrontation with the devils, which I would like to see, I mean Germany, the United States and Britain have a big opinion of us, they don't want us to transport supplies to Germany."
"Has the principal ever heard of such a saying, distant friends and close attacks." Liu Yuan looked at Chiang Kai-shek calmly.
"Now that the world is becoming more globalized, and the speed of warships is so fast, the ancestors' set is no longer practical." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and said.
"Principal, this is a bad statement, everything changes from its ancestors, the law of the ancestors can be used for thousands of years, then there is naturally his reason, although there is a trend of globalization now, but limited by national strength, there are still many countries that can only operate in a small range, and these countries can cooperate with us."
"You're saying Germany is far away, and America is near." Chiang Kai-shek's face showed a look of surprise, why didn't he think that Germany's strength in the ocean is very similar, so compared to Britain and the United States and other countries, then Germany and other countries are equivalent to being far away, as well as the Czech Republic, Africa and other countries, can they all be contacted?
"Yes, Germany has limited power on the seas, but he is actually our most suitable ally, and Germany is so far away from us, it is very difficult for them to become enemies with us. And they need us very much, and we need them. Liu Yuan said with a smile.
"That's up to you, but what is necessary, we still have to supply ourselves first, don't pull it all to the Germans, why do they need so many supplies there." Chiang Kai-shek's face was always full of colors that he could not read the world.
