Chapter 395: Imperial Investigation Committee
,
spnIn July 1946, when news of the great victory in the Far East spread back to the Republic, the whole world rejoiced.
"...In the early battles to liberate the Far East, our heroic soldiers of the National Defense Forces were not afraid of sacrifices and hardships, fought bravely, and achieved a great victory in the battle with overwhelming force.
According to the authoritative news released earlier by the Ministry of National Defense, our army captured hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops and recaptured millions of square kilometers of land in the Iron Heel Battle. The vast Far East has become the second country with the ability to establish a country after Beihai Province.
Province area.
At present, our army is stepping up its offensive in the Far East to surround the Japanese army..."
After the news came back, Wei Sancai, the Propaganda Minister of the Republic, personally attended the base camp's external press conference, and then the Ministry of National Defense also held a press conference.[
After the announcement, senior officials of the Republic introduced in detail the great victory achieved by the National Defense Forces in the Far East, and gave the highest level of praise for some advanced personal events.
Following the voices from the highest level of the Republic, China's major TV stations, major newspapers and magazines, and major radio broadcasters all published numerous reports on this unprecedented victory.
Millions of troops were gathered together to launch the largest foreign war since the Republic entered the war. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were captured, millions of Soviet troops were defeated, and the U.S. troops were driven all the way to the northeastern region of the Far East. What is even more exciting is that
, two million Japanese troops surrounded in the Vanino area of the Far East were trapped in a heavy siege. Seeing the sea so close, they could not fly.
Since China entered the war, it has won many victories, but none as great as this victory, especially since it was the first time that the National Defense Forces had a head-on confrontation with millions of Allied troops on a frontal battlefield. Although there were many unknown accidental and unexpected factors,
There were also factors that did not cooperate with the allies, but in short, the collision of millions of troops from both sides ended in a step-by-step victory for the National Defense Forces.
Although the Japanese army in the Far East is still engaged in a trapped beast's struggle, facing the millions of troops of the National Defense Force who have concentrated their forces to besiege them, they will be divided and surrounded very quickly.
Concentrating air forces to bomb the straits and bombing the local Wehrmacht air force further minimized the Japanese army's hope of crossing the sea.
Every day, the Japanese army faced seemingly endless artillery bombardments and air raids. Supplies began to run short, especially medicine, food and medicine. However, the encirclement of the National Defense Forces became smaller and smaller. Even if the Japanese army huddled behind strong defense lines,
It is difficult to stop the general trend.
Against this background, the prestige of the Ba'ath Party and the National Defense Forces has reached an all-time high. It has been rising repeatedly since the founding of the People's Republic of China and finally reached the top. The situation in the Far East has been determined, the US military has many plans to implement, and the Japanese army cannot escape.
The founder of the Republic of China, the still young head of the Republic in the eyes of the people, and Chairman of the Supreme Power Committee of the Republic, Zhang Shusheng's reputation has reached its peak.
An atmosphere of deifying the head of state is unfolding unstoppably.
Since Zhang Shusheng's personal portrait was hung in schools in the early years and was repeatedly banned, this extreme personal worship of Zhang Shusheng began to spread to all levels of society. Every household has a portrait of Zhang Shusheng, the head of state, and Zhang Shusheng is also hung on the tower of the People's Square in Hanking.
Personal portrait of...
The people spontaneously worshiped and paid allegiance to this greatest head of state, the greatest Chinese leader in history.
Zhang Shusheng himself does not really agree with this kind of extreme worship. After all, there are many things to learn from in the original history.
However, this era is completely different from the historical lessons he knows.
First of all, the achievements of the Republic far exceed those of any other period, reaching the pinnacle of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and will even continue to move forward. The people are grateful for the achievements of the Chinese nation in all aspects, from social economy to culture and education, to politics and war.
The great achievement created an unprecedented sense of pride.
Secondly, the people believe that the great head of state brought all this, and in Chinese history, the highest worship is embodied in imperial power. After hundreds of years of enslavement by the Manchus, and then the country's sinking, today's New Republic has given
People have the greatest hope and greatest satisfaction.
Discussions of restoring the monarchy first arose in some small newspapers, and then spread to some large newspapers. Later, many official newspapers and even Baath Party newspapers began to publish such free discussions.
Most people believe that the imperial system should be restored, and some enlightened people believe that it is best to implement a new imperial system that is different from the traditional imperial system and Western constitutional monarchy.
Especially when the Far East was victorious, the Republic's situation was unprecedentedly good, and Zhang Shusheng's prestige finally reached its peak, the call for the implementation of an imperial system reached its highest level.
"Chairman, the people very much hope that New China can have an eternal emperor who can be compared with the ancestors of Tang, Gao and Song Dynasties. Regarding the restoration of the imperial system, the current mainstream voice is that they hope to have an imperial system that is in line with the characteristics of our republic and that it is similar to the traditional imperial system.
There is a certain difference.[
Now the whole country is eager to receive a response to their calls, and everyone hopes that the "government" can express its position this morning. Some private petition organizations are even staying in Hanking..."
Sun Changqing, Vice Chairman of the Supreme Power Committee, Wei Sancai, Minister of Propaganda, and Zhou Guolai, Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, specially invited Luo Feng, the head teacher, to come to Zhang Shusheng's office, bringing a lot of information and preparing to persuade Zhang Shusheng again.
The one who spoke was Wei Sancai. He was engaged in political propaganda and knew the current situation best.
Sun Changqing, the one with the highest status among these people and the godfather of Zhang Shusheng, did not speak from the beginning to the end, but listened quietly.
Zhang Shusheng was thinking about something while smoking a cigarette, but he was not in a hurry to express his position. In fact, he had made such a position many times, from the initial objection, to the later disapproval or disapproval, and finally to the fact that he couldn't bear it anymore.
From time to time, the senior military and political leaders asked for instructions in various tactful ways, openly and covertly, but he had no choice but to say that the time was not ripe.
He personally was not absolutely opposed to the restoration of the monarchy.
Judging from the situation in the Republic, as long as Zhang Shusheng lives and reigns for one day, the entire Chinese nation will not be heading toward the evil events that occurred because of it.
As a person who has risen step by step from a common citizen to the pinnacle of power, Zhang Shusheng has in his heart the future development path of the entire Chinese nation, the entire earth civilization, and the entire greater Chinese civilization.
In the face of absolute power, he is not afraid of conspiracies, nor is he worried about subversion by others, nor is he hot-headed enough to burn books and humiliate scholars. He is a civilization leader who strives to develop the Chinese nation and develop Chinese civilization step by step.
people.
Therefore, whether you are an emperor or a head of state, it is the same title.
And the so-called imperial system cannot return to the previous era of three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, which was pedantic, decadent, decadent and conservative.
Among the interstellar civilizations Zhang Shusheng knows, there are many imperial civilizations. Compared with the scattered republic system, federation, and alliance system, the imperial system can concentrate its efforts on the development of civilization, especially in foreign wars, territorial expansion, and internal reform, development, and economic improvement.
In terms of people's livelihood, an excellent imperial civilization is much better.
In particular, Zhang Shusheng had a long life, limited potential, overt and covert power to be close to the enemy, and a determination to develop civilization.
For people, when there is such a good momentum, they will feel uneasy. They are eager to grab something to make themselves feel at ease and to see hope.
Believing and worshiping a person is because you think he can do it, and you can rely on him for things you can't do yourself.
On this point, Zhang Shusheng can understand the people's thoughts.
An ordinary person envies and worships a warrior because he is powerful and possesses superhuman strength. An ordinary person envy and worships a star because he has a beautiful appearance, a comfortable temperament, or
Beautiful singing voice or acting skills.
As hundreds of millions of Chinese people, they extremely worship a leader and hope that he can become a king. In the final analysis, they are frightened by hundreds of years of poverty and weakness, and are afraid that one day the world they live in will return to its original state.
They did not believe that there was anyone else besides Zhang Shusheng who could lead them to strength, nor did they believe that the position of chairman of the Supreme Power Committee could reward this great man.
They believe that only the highest and most powerful emperor, who is above hundreds of millions of people, can be worthy of him, can he continue to spur him, and can he continue to lead the nation forward.
"Daddy, what do you think?"
Zhang Shusheng turned to look at Sun Changqing. Although he had faded away from the political level of the Republic and no longer held actual positions, he still retained the unique deputy position of Vice Chairman of the Supreme Power Committee.[
On weekdays, Zhang Shusheng did not interact with him. Even in such a humiliating military and political meeting, he still regarded him as his godfather, which was quite frank and "dissolute".
"As long as you have the entire nation in mind, it doesn't matter whether you are the emperor or the head of state, it is actually the same. I think the cohesion of the nation, if implemented properly, is stronger than other systems."
Sun Changqing simply stated that they invited the old man here this time just to finally convince Zhang Shusheng and let him come up with an accurate statement.
"Chairman, I also support it. A Chinese empire should not just be a slogan, but should have an actual system. The modern imperial system is different from ancient times, and we should not be afraid of it like a tiger."
Premier Zhou Guolai of the Government Affairs Council also expressed his stance. Among the previous "petitions" by military and political officials, Sun Changqing and Zhou Guolai were the only two people who had not expressed their stance. It was not because they did not support the restoration of the monarchy, but because their positions were too critical.
, once you express your stance easily, you cannot take it back.
Luo Feng opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end. He was one of the first people to express his position, and he was included in almost every 'petition and persuasion'.
Zhang Shusheng sighed softly and said, "In this case, I will not continue to take off. Let's first set up an imperial system investigation committee to conduct a nationwide investigation on the restoration of the imperial system. We must consider all aspects, focusing on people's livelihood and the people's interests."
Sound dominates.
There is no rush in terms of time. When the Far Eastern War against Japan is over and the entire Far East has its final results, it will be enough that this committee can draw a final conclusion report. Remember, it must accept the supervision of the people and reflect the will of the people. Do not engage in
The conspiracy.
As for the framework of this imperial system, I have a preliminary idea. The imperial system cannot follow the old system. The existing military and political departments at all levels under the imperial system will not change, and a Supreme Civilization Committee will be retained above the imperial system.
Chapter completed!
