"Did Dai Lian offend you?"

Song Meiling asked such a sentence in a ghostly manner. But this is not to blame her. If it is in another country with territorial waters, then the status of the Minister of the Navy is certainly not low, and it can even be said to be very high. If you look at Britain like that, who would dare to say that the position of Lord of the Navy is not more fierce than that of the Secretary of War? The Japanese army is arrogant and domineering, but the navy can still confront it. It can be said that every important development in Japan since the Meiji Restoration is inseparable from the merits of the navy. And if it weren't for the navy to take the lead, no matter how strong the Japanese army was, it would be the fate of the nest. And the United States, France, Germany, Italy, etc., which one is not the most important development object of the navy?

But not in China.

China has never been a maritime nation. Although China has vast territorial waters and a coastline of more than 18,000 kilometers, China's navy has never ranked among the world's largest countries. Occasionally count one or two times, and they are quickly beaten down by others. By the time of the Republic of China, the navy was almost unable to play a role on the stage, and in this way until the Battle of Jiangyin, it was completely annihilated by the Japanese.

Even now, the navy finally has aircraft carriers, battleships, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers, but compared to the navies of the powerful powers, it still can't play a role on the stage. And the Nationalist Government was still unable to provide any help for the development of the Navy. To put it mildly, the Navy ...... is still raised by his stepmother.

Therefore, Qin Wei asked Lao Jiang and Song Meiling for the position of Minister of the Navy for Dai Li, which would inevitably cause others to reverie. Because if the military commander can be compared to a white swan, then the navy is at most a toad, and it may be a toad that will not be long-lived! If you don't hate Dai Li, how can you be so poisonous?

……

"He didn't offend me, we're fine now...... used to be a friend of wine and meat, but now he is a friend in trouble. All! Qin Wei shrugged and answered Song Meiling's question.

"But the Admiralty ......" Song Meiling felt embarrassed. This is the Admiralty, not the Ministry of Finance, not the Ministry of Defense, and this Ministry can't even control anything on the ground in China. Isn't it a signal to the national government to send a signal from top to bottom of the national government to force Dai Li to death?

"The Admiralty has a lot of power, and as long as the Americans nod their heads, they will be able to do it immediately. I'm giving him a favor. Qin Wei said.

"Then you mean to let him work part-time?" Song Meiling asked again.

"No, no, no." Qin Wei shook his head one after another, "How can this be?" The power of the military commander is already so great, if he is also a minister of the navy, then his surname Dai will not be turned over in the future? I am categorically against such a thing. ”

"Then you don't want the chairman to remove Dai Li from his position as director of the Military Command, do you?" Song Meiling asked curiously again.

"It is possible to decentralize." Qin Wei said, "The military commander now not only has normal intelligence work. It also controlled the 'anti-Japanese hoe gangs' in some colleges and universities, the anti-smuggling brigades of customs, border cards and traffic arteries, the tax police brigades, the salt police brigades, the traffic brigades along the railway lines, and the 'loyal and righteous National Salvation Army' in the occupied areas south of the Yangtze River. There are even police officers in some places...... So many things. Can the military reunification family manage it? So I think it's better to plan out the intelligence work separately and leave it to General Kangze; and then hand over the other anti-smuggling brigades, tax police brigades, and the like to Tang Zong to take over, or simply incorporate them into the police sequence; It is best to directly assign the Loyal National Salvation Army to the Ministry of National Defense or to the jurisdiction of the local military and political chief. ”

"Have you told Dai Li about this idea?" Song Meiling said strangely, "You have to know the way." This is almost equivalent to directly splitting the military command into three parts. ”

"He doesn't know what to say." Qin Wei shook his head, "If I had told him this in advance, he would have fought with me a long time ago." ”

"Since he won't agree, why do you still do it? Not afraid of people saying you're not a friend enough? Song Meiling became more and more curious.

"It's because it's enough friends. It is because I thank him for helping me a lot in the past two years that I have helped him so much. Otherwise, do I care if he is dead or alive? Qin Wei sighed and glanced at Song Meiling again: "Madam, you should know how much power the Dao military commander has at this time. Speaking of which, the amount of power directly controlled by Dai Li is no longer under a group army, and the military command was almost created by him, and the personnel were basically recruited by him, and the upper and lower levels almost only obeyed his orders. This also means that he wears a hat to control the military commanders even more than the military commanders of the major group armies. What's more, military commanders are pervasive in all walks of life, from administrative to military...... If it goes on like this, where can it still hold the next Dai Yunong? How many people did he have to offend? ”

"Everyone else is trying their best to fight for power and profit, it's good for you, you actually think that the power is too much, it's not good......" Song Meiling didn't know what she thought, but she felt that there was a super weirdo sitting in front of her, and it didn't look like a human.

"Who wouldn't want more power if there were no negative effects?" Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "But I heard a person's speech before, although he was in English, I didn't understand it, but someone translated that meaning later." He said, "The most precious thing in the history of mankind for thousands of years is not the dazzling technology, not the classic works of the vast masters, not the fanciful speeches of politicians, but the realization of the taming of rulers and the realization of the dream of keeping them in cages." Because only by taming them and locking them up can they not harm anyone. ’…… I also read an article that said, 'In 1799, two people died. One is our Qianlong, China, and the other is Washington, D.C. of the United States. Both of these men are quite famous in history. Washington, the United States, through the constitutional system and representative system, has achieved the domestication of the rulers, put power in a cage, and thus became a great man in the world. But what about our Qianlong master? He spent 60 years in China imposing a system of armor protection, prohibiting the free movement of the people and putting them in cages. ’…… But what do the results of these two countries show? Unchecked power will eventually lead only to destruction! In my opinion, the power of the military commander has exceeded the limits of its own control, and if it continues to develop like this, Dai Li, the founder, will also be affected, and will eventually be destroyed by the military commander he created! I thank him. That's why he saved him, even if he thinks I'm hurting him now, he will thank me later. ”

"I have read Montesquieu's "On the Spirit of the Law", and I remember that there was also such a sentence in it: 'All those who have power will abuse power, and this is a difficult experience for the ages. To prevent abuse of power, power must be restrained by power'...... Qin Wei, you understand these very thoroughly! It is his luck and honor for Dai Li to have such a friend as you! Song Meiling's gaze at Qin Wei had completely changed, and she actually had a little respect.

"Madame can look at me like that. It's also my pleasure. Qin Wei said with a smile.

"So...... What you just said about 'putting power in a cage' were also said to me, or to the chairman? Song Meiling suddenly asked again.

"Does the lady think the chairman will abuse his power?" Qin Wei asked with a smile.

"Hehe," Song Meiling also laughed, her smile meaningful. "Qin Wei, I've never found out that you are so smart."

"That means you're a little sluggish." Qin Weidao. "Someone like me who got into the rank of general in his early thirties. Can you do it if you're not smart? ”

"Then if I really propose to the chairman of the committee to divide the power in Dai Li's hands, how can you explain it to him, smart man?" Song Meiling asked again.

"Simple." Qin Wei spread his hands, "If the Americans want to deal with Japan, they must unite us." And along with military operations, first of all, intelligence. I think Dai Li can take care of that. At least, I've heard that he speaks good English. ”

"Nonsense." Song Meiling suddenly laughed, "Dai Yunong almost doesn't know a word in English, you dare to say that he speaks good English?" You even want to make it up to him. You don't have to be so disrespectful of the facts, right? ”

"Madam, you are wrong, it's not me who compensates, it's the chairman who compensates!" Qin Wei said with a smile, "After all, Dai Li can be regarded as having made a lot of contributions to his old man. Therefore, he gave the surname Dai a little bit of wind in advance, saying that as long as the Anti-Japanese War is won, it should be good to wear someone who can wear the hat of a general, right? ”

"If Dai Li can really understand your hard work, then he, the general, will definitely not be able to escape. I'm just worried......" Song Meiling shook her head slightly. She knows her own family affairs. There is such a thing as power, once it is touched, it is even more terrible than drug addiction. Very few people can resist the corrosion of power, especially in the national government, and there are countless such people. And this is especially represented by her and Chiang Kai-shek. Just like in the original history, the Americans inspected Yan'an, and when they came back, they told her about the integrity and efficiency of the CCP. But she was dismissive of this, and only replied: I think it's because the CCP hasn't tasted power yet. In a word, it shows her awareness of power and greed. And with her and Lao Jiang as a "role model", how could their subordinates easily give up the power they had in their hands, and it was still so much power?

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, just do everything with your heart." Qin Wei said with a smile.

"You're open-minded, but it's a pity that I and the chairman can't be like you." Song Meiling smiled bitterly and stopped mentioning this topic, "I still have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" Qin Wei asked.

"The Japanese captured the two major oil fields of Minas and Duri, and the Americans were in a hurry. We have promised to provide us with a loan, but the exact amount will be negotiated...... "Song Meiling said.

"Then let Yan Huiqing talk to them. I don't believe the Americans will last long. Qin Wei said with a smile.

"The negotiations are not just held in the United States, the US government intends to send people to negotiate directly with us, and the candidates have already arrived." Song Meiling's face was slightly red. This incident was also one of the bargaining chips she originally used to advise Qin Wei, and her original plan was to threaten to exclude Qin Wei from the negotiators once the advice was unsuccessful. After all, the current situation was all planned by Qin Wei, and it was impossible for him to put down such a major matter in order to take revenge on a dispensable person. Moreover, Qin Wei has never been worried about the performance of those people in the Nationalist Government in the face of foreign powers, and he will definitely choose to participate in the negotiations. But she didn't expect Qin Wei's conditions to be so simple...... Although it is a bit violent to let Kong Lingwei not return to China for the rest of his life, but after a few years, when this matter has passed, she and Lao Jiang are talking and making peace from it, and I don't believe that Qin Wei will hold on to it. But in this way, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in her heart...... What does it mean to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? That's it.

"People have arrived? Who is it? Qin Weiqi said. It is a miracle that the representative of the Americans has already arrived in Chongqing, and he has not received any news.

"This person is also a celebrity in China, and I believe that you must have a lot of common language with him, because he is also the president of Yenching University......" Song Meiling looked at Qin Wei and smiled.

"I'll rub!" Qin Wei was suddenly surprised, "Situ Leiden!?" (To be continued......)
