Chapter 60 Plan

For China, the government building located on the east side of the palace gate is, to a real state decision-making organ in a certain extent. Although this is not the official residence of the prime minister, in fact, the government building is the real place of national policy decision-making. However, in order to highlight China's "constitutional", the official residence of the prime minister is The decision-making body of the cabinet, and the government office building is where the emperor handles government affairs. However, under normal circumstances, the Prime Minister must come to the government office to inform your majesty in person before making a final decision on some internal and foreign affairs.

The appearance of the constitution and the essence of the monarch's power are vividly reflected in this government building. However, for the Chinese people, they have long been used to it, and they don't feel that there is anything strange about it. They even think that the emperor and sages should be like this. As for the so-called constitution, most people They don't know what it is. In their eyes, they only have a stable life under the governance of "Mingjun Xianxiang".

In the long history of China, the so-called prosperous times are only a few hundred years. The rest of the time is either rampant by corrupt officials, or frequent civil strife, warlords, or alien invasions. The people's life is better than death. Therefore, "it's better to be a peace dog than to leave people" has become a sad one of these grassroots people. Therefore, looking forward to the emperor and the virtuous minister have become a lingering thousand-year complex of the Chinese people.

For the vast majority of Chinese people, this era is undoubtedly the best in history. The vast majority of farmers have no worries about food and clothing for the first time. For the first time, they no longer need to endure the blackmail of corrupt officials. Newspaper reporters stared at those officials and are ready to expose the "dark side of society". For the first time, their children received an education provided by the state. All of this, combined together, constitutes two words - "prosperity". And this prosperous era is naturally inseparable from Mingjun, and of course, it is also inseparable from virtuous people. Therefore, the vast majority of the people will not blame China's political body. Since it is a prosperous era, what else is there to blame and be picky?

As for those constitutionalists, Mingzhuists and extremist republicans, their accusations, um, are simply full. They are based on public opinion and have the thoughts of kings and ministers. The natural Eastern constitutional will continue, at least for now, it is still the same. For the emperors and ministers who dominate the power of this country, it is a clear fact more than anything that the overall situation of the country is enough to live a thousand years.

"However, once the lower house of Congress passes the relevant resolution, the cabinet will immediately request the expansion of ten divisions to participate in the European war. Among them, the dispatch period of the first batch of five divisions is April this year, and the second batch of five divisions will be dispatched in June. At the same time as the second batch of troops, the military will propose the further expansion of the army. Forty divisions, according to the plan, the Japanese army will send at least 30 divisions by the end of the year, and no less than 30 divisions next year to ensure that they have no less than 60 divisions in the European battlefield, that is, 1.3 million people!"

In the face of Your Majesty, Guan Mingtang, as the Prime Minister of State, further added while reporting on the plan of sending troops to the army.

"The army plan is to help the army expand its military strength by providing military loans to Japan. The military loans will be deducted directly from the regular loans by the State Council as part of China's economic assistance plan."

Guan Mingtang is not very interested in armed Japanese, not only because of arming a strong neighbor, but more importantly, the expenditure of armed Japanese is borne by China. Guan Mingtang can even say that he is very resistant to this, although it only takes three to arm a division. Millions of yuan, although only 200 million yuan is needed, the most important thing is political influence.

"Your Majesty, the armed army assumes the obligations of the Allies. Of course, it is a choice to get rid of the obligations of the Allies, but Your Majesty, this undoubtedly announced that the Sino-Japanese Security Treaty has become a piece of waste paper. After the expansion of the Japanese army ten times, for China, it seems to solve the problems of soldier casualties and the obligations of the Allies. But with the breakthrough of the Sino-Japanese Security Treaty, we will have to face a re-armed Japanese version again in the future!"

After saying his worries, Guan Mingtang looked at his thoughtful majesty and said solemnly.

"This will definitely affect the order stability of the East in the future! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Guang Mingtang's opposition only made Chen Moran sigh in his heart. On the issue of military expansion, in fact, whether it is the cabinet, the parliament or the staff headquarters, they have failed to reach a real consensus. The reason for supporters to support it is very simple. The military's participation in the war can be the greatest while fulfilling the obligations of the Chinese Allies. The limit of the reduction of casualties in the [***] team. Of course, the reason why the Constitutional Cook Party, which fully promoted this matter in the Congress, supported the expansion of the army is very simple. They received their own money. The reason why the opponents oppose it is very simple. They are worried that the re-arming of Japan will make 300,000 soldiers use their lives and blood to break through the Sino-Japanese security treaty, making it impossible for China to form an effective deterrent to Japan.

Opponents have reasons for their opposition, but they can't see the direction of history at all.

"Zhe Qin, there are some things that you don't understand!"

I don't understand. Isn't this because Guan Mingtang doesn't understand? In fact, too many people don't understand why Chen Moran insisted on expanding the army. The reason why he insisted on expanding the army is very simple. Taking the opportunity to consume the manpower of Japan is only a superficial reason. The real reason is that after sending the Japanese army to Russia to participate in the war, in the future In the past two years, the influence of the Russian revolution on the Japanese army.

In history, Japan sent troops to interfere in the Russian revolution, but while interfering in the Russian revolution, many troops were affected by the idea of red, and even had an army defection. In Vladivostok, the sailors on one of the Japanese warship even tied red scarves. If the army was not in a hurry, Suppress the sailors who disobey orders in a hurry, and those sailors may even launch a riot.

And now if millions of Japanese troops are sent to Europe, they will cooperate with the Russian army. While fighting under the command of the Russian staff, they will naturally be affected by the red trend of thought. When the Russian army mutizes, the Japanese army, which has served as cannon fodder for two years, will not be stable, and What China needed to do at that time was to do everything possible to transfer the Japanese army back to Japan while preparing to fully intervene in the Russian revolution.

After the return of the Japanese army at that time, what the intelligence department needed was to constantly incite the red army to launch a revolution in Japan. A red revolution was enough to destroy all the old order of the Japanese army. In this revolution, all China needed was to sit idly by. When the revolution broke out, the counter-revolutionaries At about the time of execution, the troops stationed in Japan will be able to fully enter the Japanese capital as a liberator. While suppressing the Japanese red revolution, a new Japanese political axe will be built with the support of China, and this Japanese political axe will no longer have any color of the old era, and will be completely composed of pro-Chinese sects. National political axe, after that revolution, the army, as the "center of the revolution" officers, will be purged by the revolutionaries, and the remaining army will be executed as insurgents. As for the so-called Japanese army, after the suppression of that revolution, it will no longer exist, and the whole Japanese security will be responsible by China. The old The Security Treaty will be replaced by the new China Security Treaty. Like the United States, China will set up a large number of military bases on the four islands of Japan, and the [***] team will be fully responsible for the security of Japan.

And more importantly, it is different from the last time it entered Japan as an "aggressor". When that day comes, China will enter Japan as a "savior". China will save the whole Japan, save Japan from sliding into the red abyss, and avoid Japan. Culture was destroyed by the Red Movement.

Although all this will be very complicated, once it succeeds, it is extremely beneficial to China. China can not only completely solve the threat from Japan, but also fully control the country, so as to establish a security and defense island chain belonging to China in the Pacific Ocean and the future Sino-US relations. Take the lead.

If we want to achieve this plan, we must expand our military strength. Perhaps there are too many uncertainties in this plan, but some risks are always worth taking, especially the rewarding risks!

Seeing Guan Mingtang's puzzled look at himself, Chen Moran smiled.

"Zheqin, sometimes we have to make some choices for the future. Perhaps these choices are full of uncertain crises in front of us, but in addition to danger, there are also unprecedented opportunities in the crisis. In the past ten years, we have been in a seemingly dangerous situation. In the middle, and every time in unprecedented danger, there are always unprecedented opportunities, so I hope you can support this decision and support the expansion of the Japanese army!"

"Your Majesty, if you insist, I will not object, but if the army has been expanded, what about the navy?"

Guan Mingtang then asked.

"You should know that in addition to the army's hope to let me take on combat tasks, the navy also hopes that Japan can take on escort tasks! So as to free the guard navy from the heavy escort mission!"

The navy does not want to build a large number of light cruisers and small destroyers that are meaningless in the fleet decisive battle, which will take up a lot of naval military expenses and resources. In contrast, "contracting" the escort mission has become the most favorable choice for the navy, not to mention that the navy regards the United States as a fake. Thinking of the enemy, the naval staff has always had the idea of "cooperation and confrontation with the West". The army may not be very good, but even now, the quality of the navy still makes the navy envious. In the sea battle of the South China Sea, China can win in technology, not in the quality of the navy. In this case, The navy naturally hopes that the navy can "appropriately" undertake future tasks. Of course, it should be controlled within a certain "acceptable range". After all, the navy does not want to fight another naval battle in the South China Sea.

"Navy, no ocean, no navy, no ocean!"

After talking about a sentence he saw in the newspaper, Chen Moran shook his head.

"Let's think about this problem later! However, the navy's proposal to relax 20,000 tons of tonnage is acceptable. We still need convoy in the direction of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. However, even so, the Japanese escort warship should be designed by the Naval Administration Department of the Guards, not by the Naval Administration Department.

In any case, the navy is its own minister. The mood of the navy must be taken care of. In the past few years, the navy has been making sacrifices for the overall situation of ship building. Now it is hard to relax. It is understandable that they want to build ships and don't want to be wasted on this issue. A compromise is necessary.

"And there should be a limit for the relaxed two-ton tons. Well, it is limited to frigates. Let the Ministry of Political Affairs design an escort ship with a tonnage of about 1,000 tons and a artillery caliber of no more than 105 mm. Well, the speed is best limited to 20 knots, and It is necessary to stipulate the service life of these warships. They must not be retired for 20 years. Anyway, it is to add some restrictions on surnames. As for the light cruisers and destroyers mentioned by the navy, I think the coast guard force needs to be expanded. After all, our coast guard now extends to the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. According to the cabinet In addition to the naval military expenses, allocate a shipbuilding fee to the Coast Guard. All right, let's do it like this!"

Seeing that His Majesty has come up with such a way to take care of the emotions of the navy, Guan Mingtang couldn't help sighing in his heart. Although His Majesty is called the "emperor of soldiers", between the army and the navy, His Majesty always prefers the navy invisibly, but also, in this era of sea power, any major country or powerful country, If you want to protect yourself, you must build a strong navy, not to mention that in the depths of your majesty's heart, there is also the ambition of "raising China's prestige in the vastness of thousands of miles". It is naturally not difficult to understand that it is inclined to the navy. Moreover, compared with the army, the navy is more inclined to the royal family, and the queen is more favored by the navy, such as If it is not the strong opposition of the army, in a few years, if the crown prince enters the army, he is likely to enter the navy, not as it is now. As a compromise, the crown prince entered the army officer school for two years at the age of 16, served in the army for one year, and then entered the naval officer school for two years, and then entered the army. Served in the navy for one year.

Under this premise, your majesty's preference for the navy can naturally be understood.

"What you want, Your Majesty!"

After Guan Mingtang's resignation, Chen Moran, who was sitting alone in the office, smiled helplessly. Some things were always difficult for outsiders to understand. When he made his decision before, Guan Mingtang thought he was biased towards the navy, but he didn't know that maybe in the next war, it was the sea that determined China's fate. Jun, in this case, how can he not be biased?

Who can understand the future?

Thinking of the future, Chen Moran remembered another thing, a small thing. Today is a visit to the palace. A group of primary school students were invited to visit the palace. Maybe they should meet these primary school students. In 25 years, they will become the backbone of the country.

Thinking about it, Chen Moran walked out of the office and went down the stairs to the garden behind him.

"My name is Liu Zinian. I'm in the fifth grade of Nanjing Xinxing District National Primary School, Your Highness!"

Liu Zinian, who is about the same age as his younger brother, answered himself with a humble attitude, which gave the little boy some good impression. Even in the school of the Royal Garden, those students always couldn't help showing humility in front of her.

When the princess looked at herself, Liu Zinian also looked at the princess. Well, her dress looked no different from that of ordinary rich children. Looking at the crown prince who was talking with his classmates in the distance, the prince was wearing a military uniform, which looked like a little adult. Some pretended to be different from each other, but he felt that the princess in front of him was closer to him.

"You don't seem to be very interested in the palace?"

Perhaps he had noticed that he was rarely curious about every place in the palace like others, so Chen Qin asked tentatively.

"It's nothing more than a house where people live, but there is a "royal" hanging on it..."

Listening to the words of the teenager who was talking to his daughter from afar, Chen Moran was happy in his heart. The boy, who was not very old, motioned the female officials and attendants beside him not to inform, and Chen Moran went straight over.

Although it was the child's surname, Liu Zinian knew that the one in front of him was a princess anyway, so he quickly changed his words.

"As the book says, the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the name is, the water is not deep, and there are dragons! So, ..."

"So is it worth seeing the people here?"

When she handed over the cavity, Chen Qin felt uncomfortable. If so, what's the difference between the palace and the zoo? Just as she was about to refute, she heard a panic around her. Looking back, she saw her father coming over with a smile on her face, which was different from usual. Today, her father was wearing a dress. Install it.

"I have met your majesty!"

The teenagers who are visiting the palace are most of the excitement on their faces at this time. In their opinion, seeing the emperor himself when visiting the palace this time is enough for them to show off to others for a lifetime.

"Free gift!"

After a simple chat with a few teenagers, Chen Moran walked towards the teenager who had talked to his daughter before.

"What's your name!"

When looking at the teenager and looking at his familiar appearance, Chen Moran's heart moved.

"Your Majesty, my name is Liu Zinian!"

Liu Zinian!
