Wang Hu's sedan drove briskly on the empty street where there were no other human beings except the military and police with loaded guns, and the imperial marshal Liu Yun and former prime minister Wen Yi in the back seat of the car had indifferent expressions - it seemed that they had grown up together.

"Is that okay? Do you really want to take them as comrades? Wen Yi pressed his eyebrows and said-I'm afraid I didn't sleep well last night.

"Put them under house arrest before May 20th, just in case, and then slowly test them after the task force is gone, after all, they are all rare talents."

Liu Yun lit a Golden Kirin brand cigarette, saw Wen Yi's uncomfortable appearance, and threw the cigarette he had only taken a puff out of the car window.

"Are you okay? How's your recuperation? ”

"Much better, it seems that I am still more suitable to live in the south."

Liu Yun shook his head and smiled: "There is no heating in the south. ”

"Does the South need heating?"

Because of this unnutritious conversation, the two couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After laughing, Wen Yi calmed down and let out a long sigh.

"Liu Yun, do you think one of us is wrong, or are both of us wrong?"

"What do you say?" Liu Yun asked as expected.

"In the past few days since I left Beijing, I have looked around and found many problems. As you said, most of the lower classes of the people are still very poor, but the elite class is indifferent to this, because of the tax restrictions of the electorate, from the county councilors to the members of Congress, generally only serve the rich and powerful, although the country's economic aggregate has developed, the gap between the rich and the poor has further widened, and there are many contradictions in society, some of which are still very acute, and various extreme trends of thought and related organizations have emerged one after another, from Han nationalism to extreme xenophobia, from absolute egalitarianism of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to alienated communism...... Our ostensibly prosperous empire actually harbors many deadly crises. ”

Liu Yun nodded silently and motioned for Wen Yi to continue.

"But I insist that the political idea of fascist militarism to solve these problems, which turns the whole country into a barracks for the purpose of conquering the land of other countries, can only bring untold disasters to the people."

Liu Yun pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "Maybe, but this empire must not be without a strong military, the great powers are looking at us, the world is looking at us, after defeating Russia this time, we will definitely be noticed by the entire Western world world, but this kind of attention is not necessarily a good thing, if the great powers unite against us because of this...... But if given the opportunity, we should not give up, and the strategy of uniting Germany and Austria against the Entente in the First World War is not impossible to achieve......"

Wen Yi shook his head and said: "In fact, in this world, the rise of the Chinese Empire and the establishment of the East Asian Alliance have greatly changed the strategic pattern between the major powers, and it is not yet known how the situation will go in the future. History has been recreated, and we should look at it one step at a time, that's what I think. ”

"That is, if the situation allows, you will not prevent me from realizing my strategy of the United Germany?"

"If the situation does come to that point, I will be with you, but in any case, I will not allow fascism or any other kind of authoritarianism to rule this country, nor will I allow this new country to carry the burden of waging an unjust war. Liu Yun, what I said to those who surrendered just now is actually my sincere words, our new empire must be ahead of the world in all aspects, in particular, we should have more advanced political concepts than them, I do not object to the country having strong force, but we cannot use force indiscriminately, no matter what, we must stand on the highest standard of justice, we cannot easily and actively provoke a war, but once a war starts, we will give the other side the most severe punishment at all costs. If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, I will not be spared...... Externally, internally, it is necessary to vigorously promote the social welfare policy and follow the road of social democracy, and correspondingly, it is necessary to further promote compulsory national education and liberalize the right to vote. In addition to this, I have an idea in order to ensure that we, the group of future people, can firmly grasp the power of the state so that we can smoothly overcome obstacles and achieve the predetermined goals......

Wen Yi paused and said in a low voice: "Now a group of so-called chaebols are gradually emerging in China, these people have taken advantage of the opportunity of national policy changes to gather a large amount of wealth, and their power has penetrated into all fields of industrial and commercial finance...... This is a normal phenomenon of parliamentary democracy in history, but I am worried that these chaebols will disrupt the political arena for their own selfish interests, constitute pure money politics, and disregard the interests of the middle and lower people and even the interests of the country......

"You mean...... How much force is there? Hearing this, Liu Yun already had an understanding.

"Military, political and economic, these are the three main aspects. At the same time, the comrades in our group occupy the top posts in the army, and the middle-level officers who have been taught or promoted by these comrades serve as the backbone of the officer corps, stabilize the middle and upper ranks, and if they do a good job in ideological work, the lower ranks will naturally obediently obey orders. ”

"Politically, we must continue to strengthen the building of the Chinese People's Party so that it will become the party with the most electoral and ruling ability in the country, and at the same time strengthen the fight for the moderate faction in the opposition parties and strengthen the Chinese People's Party's ability to resist attacks; of course, the Central Committees of the Chinese People's Party are controlled by comrades within our group, and most of our party comrades hold important government posts and have extensive connections and strong influence in political circles.

"In terms of the economy, first of all, we should start with national policies, further improve the tax system and implement a comprehensive social welfare policy, in short, to levy more taxes on the rich, provide more welfare and social security for the poor, provide relief and re-employment guidance for the unemployed, and in addition, the pension fund system at the national level should also be effectively launched. Second, it is necessary to retain and continue to develop some large-scale basic state-owned enterprises, mainly military and energy and public service enterprises, first, to integrate the material research and development of military equipment and productivity, to avoid the waste of resources caused by excessive competition, and second, to rely on the country's huge financial resources to make the energy and public service enterprises with huge investment but meager returns on a large scale, so that other enterprises and ordinary citizens can enjoy cheaper energy and more reliable public services, in addition, a new welfare standard within state-owned enterprises, It also provides a reference benchmark for the implementation of a series of worker welfare policies in the future. In addition, taking advantage of the privatization of some state-owned enterprises in the past two years, we can rely on our superiority in information and power to transfer some of these shares to our comrades' names at a low price, and set up some special asset agency management enterprises, so that the comrades' assets can be multiplied and a new chaebol group can be gradually formed, so that we can have a little more practical strength in dealing with those old chaebols. ”

Liu Yun rubbed his chin and nodded repeatedly: "Reasonable...... But in this way, won't it become the autocracy of the future people's group? ”

"It doesn't matter, although people make mistakes, but if you can't face this world with absolute confidence, then you shouldn't come to this world in the first place. The reality is simple: we have been able to control the direction of the country to a large extent, and our goal is to create the ideal country in a way that causes minimal damage to the country, and to remove all those who stand in our way! Wen Yi showed a bad face that had not appeared for a long time.

"Don't you think I'm a militarist?" Liu Yun still can't forget the old things.

"Actually, I'm not a democrat, I'm a politician at best, and we were all just angry at the time, weren't we? The important thing is that in the ideal country, we only have differences on how to achieve our goals, but in retrospect, our differences are not insolvable, but I am on the line and confused by drugs such as ism...... What, still mad at me? ”

Liu Yun shook his head with a smile: "It's good that you don't get angry with me, I was also crazy at that time...... Okay, let's not mention the previous things, just take it as a lesson, don't have any bumps between us in the future, as before, if you have something to say, let it go! Good no good? ”

"No problem, that's it." As he spoke, Wen Yi stretched out the little finger of his right hand.

"What for?" Liu Yun wondered.

"As it used to be, let's swear by Lago."

"Agreed." Liu Yun also stretched out his finger.

So, two old men who were more than a hundred years old together swore in the back seat of the car...... The author has decided not to comment on such a scene.

The car turned into the compound of the Ministry of National Defense, and the two walked side by side to the No. 1 secret room on the third basement floor with a smile on their faces, which made Luo Sulan and the others in the room wonder for a while - they were reconciled so quickly!

Before Liu Yun could decide which stool to sit on, Yang Zhengjin came over: "Report, Zhong Xiahuo called just now and said that he was at the Yanshan base and would rush here by car soon." ”

Liu Yun was taken aback: "What? When did the kid come back? I don't know what to do! ”

He added...... The vanguard of the Provisional Praetorian Guard Division led by him has already arrived in Jinzhou......"
