Chapter 293: Butterfly Wings (1)

Just when Xue Ru wanted to find the generals of the army to study how to meet the Japanese 4th Fleet and how to fight against the two divisions of the Japanese army that was about to attack, Wei Ming came: "Miss, the maritime reconnaissance plane reports that the Japanese 3rd Fleet suddenly stopped advancing and retreated to Sanya Port. ”

Xue Ru was stunned for a moment, it's impossible, right? The 2nd Squadron failed, didn't the Japanese want to redeem the defeat and choose to retreat? And he asked, "What does the intelligence service think?" ”

Wei Ming shook his head and said: "It's not clear why, I think it was the Japanese 2nd Fleet that was destroyed, and the 3rd Fleet was not much stronger than the 2nd Fleet in terms of the number of battleships, and they may not be sure of victory, so they chose to retreat." ”

Xue Ru couldn't be sure of this reason. At this time, Liu Yuanshan and Ouyang Sari came together: "Miss Queen, good news, the devil has retreated" Ouyang Sari said excitedly. After speaking, he looked at Wei Mingzai and said: "I said Director Wei, don't talk so fast next time, the intelligence department is engaged in intelligence, not a report, so I don't have a chance to show it at all." ”

Wei Ming rolled his eyes and glanced at him: "Deputy Chief of General Staff Ouyang, this is my job, I am specialized in making small reports, if I don't want to be reported, then I don't know, as long as I know Miss Queen, I will know." ”

What Wei Ming said looked like a joke, but there was no joke in his tone. Ouyang Sari's face was a little unsightly: "Okay, you are amazing, I, Ouyang Sari, am really not afraid of people knowing, since you like it, report it." ”

Although the two of them spoke calmly, they were full of provocation, which made Xue Ru a little confused. It stands to reason that both of them are the people they trust the most, how can this be? didn't speak, but looked at the two of them, Wei Ming said: "It's best if you don't have to be afraid, but I still hope that you will talk to Miss yourself, and it won't be good when I say it." ”

Xue Ru knew that Wei Ming was not a person who talked nonsense, he must have known something when he said this? looked at Ouyang Sari. Ouyang Sari didn't expect Wei Ming to say this in front of Xue Ru, and he hadn't thought about how to tell the young lady yet. These days, I have been busy reorganizing the troops and commanding sea, land and air operations, and I have not had time, and I came today to see the sudden withdrawal of the Japanese army, and I wanted to ask Xue Ru what to do. After all, everyone can see that the Japanese army's withdrawal is only temporary, and I am afraid that the biggest reason is that the 2nd Fleet was destroyed, and the more than 10,000 Japanese troops in Haiphong did not even run, and it was not certain to rely on 20 warships to cover the landing. Once the Japanese army is ready, it will attack again, and at that time, I am afraid that it will not be something that the navy and air force of the Southern Han Dynasty can stop.

Seeing Xue Ru's somewhat suspicious gaze, he said: "Of course I will tell Miss, this is not something that can be hidden, and I, Ouyang Sari, have nothing to let Miss know." ”

Wei Ming never said it, because he had violated Xue Ru's ban a little during this time and began to supervise the insiders. Because of the appearance of Zhao Wufu and Xiao Minghua, Xue Ru also relaxed the restrictions on Wei Ming and them, but it was stipulated that the intelligence department only had the right to investigate and not to deal with it, and everything would be handled by the corresponding department. Violations and crimes shall be handled by the judicial organs, and the Intelligence Department shall not handle any person or matter.

This is because Xue Ru is worried about the emergence of an organization like Jinyiwei, so he has always paid more attention to the intelligence department. Wei Ming's work always gives people the feeling of intrigue and trickery, and now the people inside Snow Fox don't like Wei Ming very much. Wei Ming also knew this, and he also tried his best not to contact any military and political officials, and was only responsible for Xue Ru alone, as if he hadn't heard Ouyang Sari's words, and was calmly silent.

Ouyang Sari said: "Miss may not know that there is an organization headed by Zhang Donglin, they call themselves the Freedom Alliance, and the outside world calls them the Freedom Party, and there are many people in the army who participate in this alliance. There is also an organization in Hanoi, called the Democratic Federation, which is called the Democratic Party, and the other is the Communist Party, anyway, there are many parties coexisting, and during this time, Zhang Donglin and Li Zhengzhou both approached me and asked me to join them, but I did not agree. ”

Xue Ru was secretly surprised, the Democratic Party, the Liberal Party, and the Communist Party, at such a fast speed, felt a little uncomfortable. Zhang Donglin did not report to himself, and it is impossible for any country party to be lacking, nor can it be without. To put it bluntly, a party is a small group that fights for the interests of its own group.

The Ming Dynasty was ruined by party struggle, but social development, multi-party mutual supervision to promote social progress is the trend, multi-party system to supervise the government, is not a bad thing. With Xue Ru's level and political acumen, she didn't know how to deal with this, but she understood one thing, that is, it was impossible to exclude other parties and only engage in the dictatorship of the party. The key is how to standardize, and it seems that what we have before us is not only a question of foreign military operations, but also a question of internal political stability.

However, in the current state, in order to win the war, Xue Ru does not want to promote multi-party governance and the democratic process, which will make it difficult to implement many things, and there will be a phenomenon of rift. But no matter what, it didn't work, so he said: "Actually, the party is not a bad thing, but it depends on how it is regulated and what is the political program?" It is not possible to generalize. ”

Xue Ru did not strongly oppose Ouyang Sari, and Liu Yuanshan's heart was also relieved. Xue Ru said: "I will find Zhang Donglin and Li Zhengzhou to study this matter, it is a political issue on the part of the government, you are the army, and you are studying military issues." Yuanshan, notify the relevant personnel to convene a high-level meeting of the army three days later, and there are some things to be studied and decided. Wei Ming immediately exerted his strength to find out the reason for the withdrawal of the Japanese army, and I needed accurate information. ”

"Yes" Wei Mingli replied, Liu Yuanshan also nodded, and the three of them left separately. Xue Ru's idea of studying the latest battle plan was also put on hold for the first time, the Japanese army would not attack, and with the current ability of the Snow Fox army, it would delay time to prepare and would not take the initiative to challenge Japan. Now that the Japanese fleet has retreated, one thing is certain, this time the battle of national prestige completely suppressed Japan, and it seems that it bought a little more time for the Southern Han.

Now that Wei Ming and the others know that there are various parties and organizations, they really have to think about how to solve it, and there can be no situation in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. How to solve the problem, of course, is to make things clear, let them carry out public activities under a large environment and goals, and determine whether it is reasonable and legal. If it is a positive and progressive party organization, it is still beneficial to regulate and correctly guide it, but if it is an extremist element like a cult organization, it has no choice but to eradicate it with heavy hands. Xue Ru, who came from later generations, knew very well how harmful cults and extremists were, and once terrorism was formed, it would be difficult to deal with them.

Originally, he wanted to incorporate North Vietnam into China's territory, but now it seems unrealistic, at least these people under him will not do it, and the problem may be more complicated and serious. What to do? You really have to think about it. After the next day, Xue Ru did not attend any more meetings or summon anyone, but locked himself in his room, trying to recall the problems and experiences he knew about politics in later generations.

Reality forced Xue Ru to shift his energy from the military to the political, but these are far from being easy to solve military problems, military operations are simple, either friends or enemies, of course, the handling is relatively simple, but the political problems are too complicated, and the boundaries between friends and enemies are very blurred. Besides, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests, and politics is compromise, Xue Ru has heard these words, but unfortunately she has not practiced them, and it is a new proposition for her.

It wasn't until the third day that Ouyang Sari notified the Snow Fox Army that all the military personnel of the Southern Han Dynasty had arrived, waiting for Xue Ru to hold a meeting, which made Xue Ru stop thinking and inform Zhang Donglin, Li Zhengzhou, and Ruan Tongwen that they held the first military and political meeting of the Southern Han Dynasty, which is also known as the first imperial meeting of the Southern Han Dynasty.

In view of the withdrawal of the Japanese army and the temporary calm of the Southern Han Dynasty, the meeting lasted for three days, and Xue Ru made great adjustments to the military and political affairs of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Just when Xue Ru was making adjustments and holding a meeting, the intelligence department summarized all aspects of the intelligence and constantly arrived in front of Xue Ru, making Xue Ru a little dumbfounded. She had to admit the fact that her little butterfly had finally derailed history from its tracks.

At the same time, the intelligence department also figured out the reasons for the retreat of the Japanese army. The direct reason, of course, was that the Japanese base camp was shocked when they learned that the 2nd Fleet had been completely destroyed, and the 3rd Fleet was no stronger than the 2nd Fleet except for an aircraft carrier. If these forces were used to cover the landing of two divisions, it was clear that the forces were weak. In addition, it is very dangerous that a small number of troops sent ashore may be wiped out, and there are more than 12,000 people in coastal defense, and there is no chance of escaping, and one or two divisions and regiments cannot land at one time, which is really too dangerous.

There is another important reason, Yamamoto Uto's report, the French army entered the war, which made Japan have to pay attention. There is nothing to be afraid of in the Southern Han Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Snow Fox army is strong, but they are a new regime, the foundation is unstable, and there is no external force, but France is different, with the financial and material support of France, and then there is the strong combat effectiveness of the Snow Fox and Xue Ru's treacherous tactics, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters gave the order to the 3rd Fleet, retreat to Sanya, Hainan and stand by, and the two divisions were assembled to Taiwan and Guangzhou respectively, waiting for orders.

First of all, Japan had to understand what France thought and why it entered the war this time. Mitsumasa Mine, who had just been prime minister for a short time, summoned the French ambassador to Japan, and at the same time ordered the ambassador to France to ask for a meeting with the French president and lodge a protest with France. If it is not explained, it is the responsibility of France, and Japan will declare war on France. From a operational point of view, the General Staff Headquarters felt the need to find out why one of the two dozen warships, a heavy cruiser, had been defeated by the French Navy, which had only a few light ships.

Could it be that the French Navy is so strong? If this is the case, Japan should re-study its strategy of advancing southward, so for many reasons, the General Staff Headquarters ordered the naval fleet to stop the attack and return to Hainan Island to stand by, and at the same time, the headquarters of the secret service increased its efforts to find out the cause of the failure as soon as possible.

When Wei Ming and the others got this information, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because it was enough to prove that it was impossible for Japan to figure it out in a short time, and it was impossible for them to attack the Southern Han. Xue Ru achieved his strategic goal and played a national prestige so that Japan did not dare to move.

Therefore, Xue Ru took advantage of this time to convene the first enlarged military and political meeting to solve the problems that arose within the Southern Han Dynasty. What makes Xue Ru think that his butterfly has played a role, because with the cessation of the Japanese army's attack, a series of changes have taken place in China and Vietnam, and the pattern of war has appeared different from that in history. Xue Ru, who didn't know the experience of the Anti-Japanese War in the south, only knew that there had been a change, but he didn't know what the change was. It's just that she doesn't know that she doesn't dare to move, to prevent too much change, the situation is difficult to grasp, and use this time to strengthen the interior.

On the third day of the Japanese retreat, Taylor's convoy sailed from Luzon to Haiphong Port, this time with nearly 10,000 tons of strategic and civilian supplies. Three merchant ships of more than 4,000 tons entered the port at the same time, causing a burst of jubilation within the Southern Han Dynasty.

What made Xue Ru most strange was that there was another fleet that entered Haiphong at the same time, and the materials on it were Chinese. The Southern Han Dynasty did not receive any news from the Chinese side, the last time the goods seized by the Japanese army were swallowed by Xue Ru and became the first barrel of funds in the Southern Han Dynasty, how could they dare to enter the port without any negotiations this time?

But the person brought by Sun Zheng made Xue Ru smile, and it was a person from the Ministry of the Interior of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang who arrived in Hanoi, named Jiang Fengchuan.

When he talked to Sun Zheng about the purpose of coming, Sun Zheng didn't dare to decide, this was related to the problem between the two countries, so he brought Jiang Fengchuan to see Xue Ru. Because the military-political meeting was not over, Xue Ru promised to talk in a few days, and the Chinese supplies entering Haiphong Port would be unloaded and stored first, and then we would talk about it after the talks. The reason why Xue Ru agreed was because Sun Zheng said that Jiang Fengchuan brought a letter from Xue Yue and a letter from Song Xilian, and he asked to meet Xue Ru in person.

Thinking about it, Xue Ru knew what Xue Yue and Song Xilian wrote in their letters, so let people deal with it first, she was going to finish the first imperial meeting, and the three-day meeting was too important for the Southern Han Dynasty. The most surprising thing is that there are several big changes. One is the army, the other is the government, Xue Ru's actions are big enough, these are obviously prepared. To everyone's surprise, many people left the army, and the biggest change in the Southern Han Dynasty was the Snow Fox Army, which was a change in the military.

For the improvement of the political system and state institutions, while also making insiders admire, they don't understand, is Xue Ru really eighteen years old? Not to mention talent, this set of government and military political system is not something she can complete. Does she understand it at her age? How is it possible to know how to deal with it?

When the provisional constitution was announced, it was a big surprise, Xue Ru completed her step of monopolizing power, becoming the first person in the Southern Han Dynasty, the real queen, in fact she has become the empress.

It is not a constitutional monarchy, but there is a cabinet, there is no parliament, but there is a multi-party participation in politics. According to the announcement, the parliament was in the process of being formed, and when the parliament was established, the formal constitution of the Southern Han Dynasty was formulated, and before the parliamentary constitution was established, these powers were in Xue Ru alone, and she commanded the cabinet.

A cabinet appoints a prime minister and eight deputy ministers, and the cabinet is divided into eight departments, and the eight ministers are all vice ministers and participate in the decision-making of major matters. In this way, the power of the prime minister is divided into nine people, and the role of mutual supervision can be achieved. At the same time, a deputy minister serves as the head of a ministry to facilitate the operation of the department.

In a sense, Xue Ru initially implemented the separation of powers, because the court and the Supervision Yuan were not under the management of the cabinet, they were commanded by Xue Ru, and the army was in the Ministry of National Defense, but the general staff was established in wartime, which was the actual command organ, and Xue Ru was the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and concurrently served as the chief of the general staff, so that the cabinet only had administrative power, no judicial power and no military power.

If a parliament is established one day, then it will be a democratic country in the true sense, and when these are announced through the news media, all countries who understand politics will shake their heads, because if Xue Ru does not establish a parliament, then no one will be able to shake her rule, and it depends on Xue Ru where the Southern Han will go.

Xue Ru is right, she has no family, no relatives, all the people in the Southern Han are her relatives and family, before the constitution is promulgated, she will not get married and start a family, so as to avoid the appearance of a family. Outsiders will not believe these words, even if there are many people in the Southern Han Dynasty who can believe it, but these do not affect the implementation of all this.

After the positions of the leaders of various departments were determined, Xue Ru met with Jiang Fengchuan who came in his office.
