Chapter 726: Ask My Father to Give Me a Secret Guard
The half-month Congress passed smoothly, and it seemed that there was no more turmoil except for the competition for some North American news sections in the newspapers. Liu Xian made five appearances. Some of the various problems proposed by the deputies in various localities have been resolved, while others are still difficult to handle. But at least people of some higher grades understand how many unknown deals and insider information are hidden in this half-month Congress.
Liu Xian will not bother much in this regard, because all transactions and internal revolve around a general direction, and this general direction is formulated by Liu Xian himself. The affairs of the Congress are handled by the Cabinet with the assistance of the Cabinet in organizing and handling the affairs of the Congress itself, and all issues are submitted to the Cabinet for deliberation and debate, but Liu Xian himself cannot be touched. Otherwise, what is the difference between the political system of the new Qin and the military aircraft department + emperor system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhu Ming's cabinet + inner court + emperor system, and so on?
Since the establishment and development of the cabinet system of the new Qin, the emperor has long been separated from the gains and losses of ordinary state affairs. Which policy or aspect of the people is dissatisfied or satisfied, the disadvantages cannot be classified on the emperor, and the benefits are naturally very important and cannot be classified on the emperor, but this is enough.
For Liu Xian, there is a shield if it is broken, and he can finally win prestige and love, and those cabinet ministers, and the first assistant and the second assistant are tired, and in the end they can only win the title of a famous minister and a famous minister, and the final benefit is still classified as Liu Xianam's. The country is strong, he has the capital to fight, a war gathers the expectations of the world, and the reputation and prestige of all the ministers are not worth mentioning in front of the emperor.
So, half a month passed in Congress, and Liu Xian only gave a speech. Twenty minutes in total.
The Diet is dominated by important cabinet ministers and the first and second assistants.
It was almost October, and winter was at the beginning of winter. The end of the war in North America is far away, and it seems that it will really be a war of attrition here in the United States. There was information from the German side. Britain and France have created a tracked armored vehicle with the name 'Little Nomad'. It is very large, and it must be much heavier than the light tank of the Wehrmacht, but it is not yet known how it will perform.
Liu Xian has not yet obtained the exact photos of the armored car, and he does not know if this 'little nomad' is the 'little nomad' created by the British in history, although they are 20 years apart in time.
There is also the North American Expeditionary Force at this moment, the troops have been divided into two routes, the north and the south, the left, the center and the right, the main force of more than 200,000 people in the middle is blocked in Charlotte, and the US army has also gathered more than 100,000 militia in Atlanta, which can flank the North Route Army at any time. Or reinforce the U.S. forces in Charlotte. The southern troops were still attacking the city in Alabama, and the Americans were mainly concentrated in the north, and the resistance of the southern states was two notches worse than that of the north. The main force of the North Road, which had the largest number of troops and more than 400,000 men, was blocked by the 'Great Wall of Flesh and Blood' of the United States in Richmond. Poor Richmond, the capital of the Confederate during the Civil War, is now fighting to the death for Washington's government!
However, the war situation in North America has slowly turned into a stalemate, and the situation has become clear. It cannot be said that the Wehrmacht's strength has been weakened, and it is certain that the strength of the US military has increased in a straight line. Now the news is coming from Germany. The total number of US troops, state militias, and volunteers from various European countries has reached 3.5 million.
That's an absolutely staggering number. The world's military, except for China, which can overwhelm the United States, is the second largest in the world. And the quality, at least in terms of equipment, is very good. At present, the number of artillery and light and heavy machine guns of the US army is compared. It is definitely the first in the world, which is a little higher than China's, and the same is true for airships. Although the quality and performance cannot be compared with the United States of China. The number is skyrocketing.
The blockade of the Wehrmacht in the cities of Charlotte and Richmond is absolutely linked to the incompleteness of air supremacy.
So. Liu Xian was already thinking about whether he wanted to go to North America himself, otherwise it would be a bottomless pit. It is constantly devouring China's national strength.
"On the first day of next year, I will officially announce the establishment of a country for the two of you at the Great Pilgrimage, and after the first month, you will go to Volga to establish a domain." Liu Xian looked at the two sons in front of him and asked, "Do you have a strategy for governing the country?" ”
In these years, Liu Xian has never let his son get involved, even if the prince focuses more on 'invention'. The second and third sons had the most political contact with the Congress, and every time the Congress was convened and elected, Liu Xian would bring his sons out to see the excitement. Subtly, these princes are relatively receptive to constitutional monarchy!
After all, their Lao Tzu is pressed on his head, although he does not have the scenery and real power of the prince of the Manchu Dynasty for the royal prince in private, but these words will always be said in private. Faced with Liu Xian, a father who can leave a name in history and can be called a real emperor through the ages, the princes have no intention of resisting at all.
This time, Liu Xian wanted to canonize the second prince Liu Pan as the king of Yan, and the third prince Liu Ying as the king of Zhao. The two feudal states also divided the territory of Europe in two, and the eastern boundary of the north was full of the Ural Mountains, part of the Ural region, and a piece of the West Siberian Plain, thus pushing the Volga River valley at the same latitude to the west; The southern part of the country is bounded by the middle and lower reaches of the Ural River, and in addition to the Volga River basin at the same latitude, the territory is a large area of land on the western shore of the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus. Part of the Don River basin, a piece of land in eastern Ukraine, and the Crimean peninsula.
At first glance, these two countries are very unfair. The North is not at all comparable to the South, which is mostly plains, fertile plains, and heavy agricultural production areas in Russia. And what about the former? 70% of the country's borders are mountainous, and there is nothing left to do, except for the mineral resources of the Ural Mountains.
But it is the country to the north, in the eyes of the two princes, that the temptation is far greater than that of the south.
Europe is not the American continent to the east, the Americas are full of soft persimmons, and Europe is full of hard bones. It is simply impossible for the country to open up its territory again, and it is the result of the above to be able to hold on to the existing land and survive the peeps and revenge of the Europeans, especially Russia. The two princes knew exactly what their Lao Tzu's intention was in separating the two brothers into the Volga, that is, to cut off Russia!
Therefore, although the south is good, the pressure is heavy. Whether it is the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus, the Crimean Peninsula, or the Black Sea coast, these are all strategic locations, and the pressure on the south is ten times more than that of the north.
Liu Xian's sons are not stupid, they may not be talented, but they are very self-aware. With such a rotten foundation and such a dangerous environment in the new country, Liu Pan and Liu Ying did not think that they had the ability to expand their territory, so it was better to choose the northern country, mining and mining oil safely and steadily. At least live in peace.
At present, there should be 3 million Slavs in the Volga region, more than 70% of the population in the south, and there may be only 800,000 or 900,000 people in the north, and even fewer in the future. In the case of the newly established feudal states, the smaller the number of aborigines, the better it is to digest.
"A vassal state can be established, but it has no foundation. Everything needs the help of the country. The son didn't think much about how the vassal kingdom would be governed, and the matter was undertaken by the cabinet. The son only thought that it was time to set up a tight intelligence network in Xintu and keep an eye out for anti-government forces among the Slavs. It is better to secretly rebel, buy a group of people in it, set up a benchmark, and let them gather strength to raise troops to rebel, and then gather a large army to destroy it in one fell swoop. ”
Liu Pan is the elder brother and was the first to say so.
"As you think, how should the intelligence unit be set up? Tell me about it. Liu Xian was noncommittal.
"Naturally, it was given by my father. How can there be such a talent in the hands of the sons. I heard that the DPRK has a task force in Central Asia, from which talent can be drawn. Moreover, there are many prisoner of war camps in the Ural River Valley, and from them we will select a number of capable people who can be controlled, such as their families and relatives who have not fled to the west, and they will be detained first, and driven to serve me......"
Liu Xian was silent, but he heard what his second son meant. This kid decided to completely let go of the government on the surface, but secretly he wanted to maintain the intelligence force that had always belonged to him. It is believed that the government and the officialdom and cabinet of the feudal kingdom are not at ease.
"Liu Ying, what do you think?" Without answering his son, Liu Xian turned the conversation to another son.
The retainer and the imperial brother agreed. The sons knew their father's thoughts, and wanted to implement a constitutional monarchy, and the monarchy would rule vertically, and as for politics, he would not be contaminated with civil slander. The sons are willing to let go of the state affairs, but the sons are not at ease with such a court cabinet and the parliament like the emperor's brother, and are willing to ask their father to give them secret guards to be the blades of the sons' defense. ”
The two sons were forced to accept the constitutional monarchy by themselves, but their distrust of the courtiers and the uneasiness of being backward from the power were undoubtedly expressed in the meaning of the words. Guards, the blade of self-defense...... Liu Xian has a kinship.
Why not? Otherwise, why did he keep clinging to power and military power, isn't it just because of this sense of unease? In the 5,000 years of China, how many emperors and monarchs, how many royal families and royal families have died because of the fall of power? Liu Xian, who has experience and insight in his previous life, is not at ease about this, how can he let his sons feel at ease?
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Liu Xian readily agreed to the request of his two sons. On the first day of the following year, the second prince Liu Pan will be in the southern kingdom of Yan; Liu Ying, the third prince, was the domain of Zhao - the northern country. During this trip, the issue of the feudal kingdom of the father and son was also finalized.
"There's still the last 100 days, and you two can indulge in some fun. But I want to tell you, while the stall of the previous year, it is better to finalize all the things that have not been finalized. "If you want to become a feudal domain, you need to have your own family background. In the future, Liu Xian, the official positions of Yan State and Zhao State, will vacate some of them for his son. Anyway, for the first ten years, it was impossible to cook in either place. If the great migration in the future does not end, these two countries will still talk about it! (To be continued......)
