In order to continue to implement the northward strategy and recover lost territory in northern China from the Japanese, the Supreme Parliament of the China Federation of China passed the Ministry of Defense's proposal on military expansion and allocated relevant funds to grant the military restricted wartime privileges.

At the beginning of the establishment of Hualian, the administrative departments were divided into cumbersome divisions, and their power was scattered, and they were in power. Now that Chen Jiongming became the head of state, and the country was in a war period, he felt that these chaotic situations would inevitably have negative impacts, so he had already begun institutional integration.

This integration is quite drastic, redefining the original chaotic division of local and central powers. The most important thing is to establish three supreme power institutions and establish the political system of the new China Federation as a pattern of legislative and separation of administrative and judicial powers.

The Supreme Parliament holds legislative power, the cabinet holds executive power, and federal courts and local courts at all levels jointly manage the judicial power.

The administrative body is the cabinet, as well as the State Council and other subordinate departments under its leadership. It involves the core factors of national stability, and military power is unified and taken into account to the Ministry of National Defense. It is controlled by the head of state during war and then left out during peacetime.

It is precisely because of this series of integration of political and military powers that Chen Jiongming was able to further strengthen his control over the army and implement the grand strategy of advancing north.

At the cabinet meeting, several major ministers quarreled with the military chief. The recruitment and training of the new army, the weapons and supplies of the troops, all of which must occupy the resources of the civil affairs department. How can they agree?

Chen Jiongming looked at his nose and his nose, and he remained motionless. He sat on the head seat and watched the people below make noise. When he became the head of state on the first day, he was still very uncomfortable with the way and rhythm of the meeting, and he had already understood it. Anyway, no matter how quarrels, he still had to solve the problem in the end.

Not only the cabinet meeting, but also the Supreme Parliament is like this. Most of the members of the parliament are masters of quarrels, and once they meet, they are all beasts in their clothes.

The Ministry of National Defense has just replaced the original headquarters of the Three Army Base Camp and became the highest-level military unit of the Hualian. Li Shaojie served as the first minister of national defense and removed his position as commander of the First Corps. In his forties, he has a big face and a round waist, and his limbs are just on the verge of being a murderous aura on his face, which makes him look very ferocious. He opens his mouth and argues with Minister of Finance Cheng Desheng.

Cheng Desheng was originally the main person in charge of the rural credit cooperative. Because of his outstanding performance, he is now specially appointed by the cabinet as the Minister of Finance and the chief executive of the China Federation's fiscal revenue and expenditure power.

"General Li, the Supreme Council has indeed promised so much financial funds, but the Ministry of Finance cannot issue them all at once. They must be paid in batches." Chen Desheng's eyes were calm and his words were ordinary, but this calm attitude overwhelmed Li Shaojie in his momentum.

No matter how he was swaying, he could never say that this dull civil servant was. This way he was very depressed.

"Slaves of wealth! The front-line troops' dress-up, the cost of recruiting new recruits, and the bonus of meritorious soldiers, all these are money! If you don't reimburse me, who should I go?" Li Shaojie still refused to let go and pestered him to the top of his voice. If he couldn't get the money today, he would not plan to leave the door.

The Ministry of Industry is also feeling embarrassed by the sharp increase in demand for the army, because industry needs to develop and the army needs to fight. But the fiscal quota is only so much, and it depends on who is more shameless.

Although I am gentle and sweeping the floor, I don’t fight at this time. The next year will be difficult. Only children who can cry can get milk. This is the most realistic reason.

After hehe, the ministers of each department divided the cake promised by the Supreme Council, and then nodded with satisfaction. After tidying up their clothes, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere once again surrounded the cabinet meeting room.

Everyone also began to talk and laugh, how could they look as blushed and thick as the nose just now?

After presiding over the meeting, Chen Jiongming left the cabinet headquarters building. Behind him was a young and handsome young man, his son Chen Dingyan. He was only 17 years old in a few years. He was handsome and had a high spirit of righteousness, which looked very much like his father.

Chen Dingyan did not have an official position, but was a confidential secretary of Chen Jiongming to assist him in handling some copywriting work. This was also the preparation for Chen Jiongming to cultivate his own son to enter the political arena.

"Father, this cabinet meeting is very strange. At the beginning, everyone is clamoring, and there is no leftist with officials." Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Dingyan mustered up the courage to talk about what he had heard at the meeting today. It was his first time to attend such a meeting.

"Dingyan, what do you think they should be?" Chen Jiongming was always satisfied with his smart, studious and humble son. After hearing this, he did not scold him, but laughed loudly.

"At least it should be dignified and solemn. With their attitude just now, it would be too much." I felt that this adjective was very bad. Chen Dingyan was afraid that his father would blame him, so he hesitated and did not dare to say it.

"What you want to say is that it's too civilian." Chen Jiongming didn't care too much. He laughed heartily a few times and got into his own car with his son.

In the car, Chen Dingyan was still puzzled: "Father is indeed too vulgar. As the most important executive council of a country, how can he quarrel and insult so much?" In his vision, the cabinet parliament should have been a sacred and noble ceremony, but when he saw it today, he was disappointed.

"You think a lot of people should sit quietly, the leaders speak on the stage, and officials at all levels below express their opinions. This is so civil and military, right?" Chen Jiongming looked at his son's eyes and said seriously.

"At least it should be." Chen Dingyan responded quickly, which was indeed what he was thinking.

"This is different. Do you know what the difference between us and the revolutionary party and the Hongmen and other dictatorial forces?" He restrained his smile. Chen Jiongming's expression was extremely serious at this time, and his eyes were also majestic.

"I don't know." Chen Dingyan was really puzzled by this and was also curious about the reasons.

"To put it simply, whether it is the Supreme Parliament or the cabinet meeting, they are all quarreling behind closed doors. Because the so-called politics is the word "power" and "profit". If you don't fight, you will have no one. But this "competition" is limited. Don't look at the heads of the department at the meeting. In fact, their personal relationships are very good."

"Why?"

"Every year, the country's resources are always limited. As for how to allocate, it is the center of gravity. If they don't say their importance loudly, how can they get the attention of others? The most important thing is that all differences and disputes must be resolved on the conference table. After that, they must not use any means. Otherwise, they will break the rules."

Hearing this, Chen Dingyan finally understood the key points. He suddenly realized: "No wonder each of them is so impatient, but it's better to limit the conflict to the conference table. This is agreed in advance, and it's better to make a trip afterwards."

Chen Jiongming was very happy to see his son understand the truth here: "Yes, it's not good to do this, but it's very realistic. Look at the Revolutionary Party meeting, it's beautiful. But what's the significance to the people?"

The Revolutionary Party and the Red Gate of the Soviet Union are political systems of the same nature. Although the dictator seems to be in control of the overall situation, he is a high-ranking cloud and shouts to the lower body. However, in fact, the factional struggles are very fierce, and the most direct result is the regular outbreak of the party's purge movement.

The power is not delivered once, and it is the result of a bloody struggle.

It also seriously restricted the national economic development. The Revolutionary Party focused its development on Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, because Jiang Ruiyuan's roots are here. A lonely city in Changsha is always facing the military threat of the Hualian. Of course, the first one is not to consider it.

Shanxi is Yan Xishan territory, without considering it. Anhui and Jiangxi are areas controlled by Bai Chongxi. They are also not considering it. The result of this was disastrous. After Japan's invasion of China, the Central Army of the Revolutionary Party lost the most core economic and industrial areas, and the losses were unprecedentedly huge.

In fact, it is not just the revolutionary government, but the later Red Gate Empire also has similar problems.

Every year, the country invests a large amount of funds in the bottomless northwest region. The industrial development is messy and scattered because of the infighting factions within the party and concentrated resources on any person's territory. Other **osses are fiercely opposed.

As for the comprehensive development, resources and finance cannot support it. As a result, except for the founding Taizu who was able to be dictatorial, the subsequent successors all achieved few achievements.

The biggest failure to concentrate the country's strength to develop key industrial projects first, and this is a dead end. If the system remains unchanged, this problem will be unsolved for a day.

There are also party disputes within the Hualian League, but the parliament is the main place to reconcile the contradictions, and its model lies in the concept of joint management.

No matter how you argue, the country must gather enough resources to invest and develop crucial heavy industrial areas. And among conflicting political factions, the direction of the struggle is mainly to compete for the profit share, rather than to compete for a fixed territory.

There are two advantages of doing this: the first point is that political factions cannot take root in the local area, which is rootless duckweed and difficult to interfere with the benign mechanism of politics; the second point is that factions will not be stalemate to manage their own nests first, resulting in the hindrance of the country's industrial construction opportunities.

At the beginning, the ancient Chinese Society attached great importance to this issue and continuously divested many political forces with certain characteristics from their locations. As for those who disobeyed, they had long been eliminated. The current political factions are centered on ideas rather than regions.

Many times, the governance of a country is not difficult, but whether there is a common benefit distribution plan between the major forces that control resources and power.

Joint investment and fighting for profits are more reasonable than dividing territory first and competing for investment.

On the other side of the Yangtze River, there are also disputes over military strategy issues.

In northern China, the frontier headquarters of Shandong War Zone, Wang Liwenzheng and Li Zongren were discussing strategic and tactical issues. Now the Chinese army has gathered four main legions here, cooperating with a large number of minions, with the total number of soldiers exceeding 800,000!

This is a military force that can destroy everything, and it is the most powerful ground force on the entire earth in this space and time.

The four major legions are now temporarily united and formed into the First Army of the Chinese Federation. According to the orders of the cabinet and the Ministry of National Defense, Li Zongren served as the supreme commander of this new army and held the power to control the remaining legion commanders.

Because China's northern region has long been facing military threats from Japan and the Soviet Union, with the combat power of any legion alone, it cannot effectively deal with it, so it formed the First Army.

Among the four commanders of the army, Li Zongren's character is the most recognized and his talent is outstanding. As for his role as commander of the group army, all the dissenting voices quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Delin, what's going on in the cabinet? If we don't fight in Changsha, let's gather in Shandong, so we won't be afraid of being trampled on the way back?" Wang Liwen was a little angry. His proposal had just been rejected by the cabinet and the Ministry of National Defense, and he was obviously not very happy.

"The Head of State also has political considerations. Don't be too impatient, let alone the eight newly formed divisions and sent to Nanchang for strategic suppression. Just the strength in Xue Yue is not enough to worry about." Li Zongren's judgment on the overall situation is very good, and he can also understand the strategic intentions of the cabinet and parliament well.

This is also a very important reason why he was able to serve as the commander of the First Army. After all, in terms of qualifications, he is the shallowest among the five legions, only better than the other three legions just formed.

"The four major legions gathered in Shandong, probably not just as simple as attacking Jinan. There are only 100,000 puppet troops here. They are not even worthy of carrying shoes for us. What I am most worried about now is the reaction between the Soviet Union and Japan. If these two sides collude together, we will be very passive. Once the situation of the war is stalemate, the threat from the rear will be highlighted."

Li Zongren also thought about Wang Liwen's idea, but the most important thing in front of him was to expel Japan from the outside of the customs first. He thought for a while before saying, "In this regard, the Ministry of National Defense and the Cabinet have considered it, so don't worry about it. If you don't drive Japan out of China, the Northern Expedition will not stop, and it is not suitable for fighting on both sides. The plan to attack Changsha must be slowed down."

Wang Liwen also understood that Jiang Ruiyuan was the spokesperson in China supported by Britain and the United States. If he was obviously moved, he would be very passive in diplomacy. Now is the critical time for Hualian to sign mining cooperation with Australia. No mistakes can be made.

Another point is that logistical factors are also the main reasons.

Regarding this issue, Li Zongren knew more about the situation. He thought that Wang Liwen explained: "Have you read the report from the logistics department? We sent planes from Shanghai to bomb Japan, consuming a lot of resources. If the bomber could take off from Shandong, the consumption would drop to one-sixth of the original, but the results would be at least twice as good!"

Shandong is very close to Japan, otherwise Japan would have tried its best to occupy the place and establish a military buffer zone after the end of the First European War.

In addition to obtaining the industrial facilities and population resources here, Hualian wants to compete for this area, and also to establish a large air force command to carry out continuous bombing of Japan to destroy their industrial production and kill the enemy's vitality.

Zhangzhuang, a large village with a population of more than 3,000, flourished because of the roads close to Zhengzhou and Heze. However, this originally lively village was destroyed after a group of soldiers wearing yellow military uniforms and two yellow hats with yellow hats entered.

Since Zhangzhuang has produced more than a hundred scholars, Jinshi, and even second place, Zhangzhuang's bookish atmosphere has been much stronger than other villages since ancient times, and there are still several clan children who serve as officials in counties and even cities.

Moreover, due to the proper management of the upper and lower levels, although the Japanese army had an interest in it, they had to give up considering their long-term interests and the huge influence of Zhangzhuang in this area.

The establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle cannot be established blindly by guns and cannons. Differentiation and utilization of local traitors who defect to Japan and moderately establishing so-called "positive" typical role models are also indispensable means. If all role models are dealt with, wouldn't it be a prank?

Therefore, Zhangzhuang has been safe since the Japanese invasion. No matter how much harm the Japanese harms in other places, the sound of reading "When people are born, they are good..." will still sound in Zhangzhuang.

When Zhang Zhuang faced this group of soldiers, he still refused the Japanese army's entry in the past. The Japanese army, who initially led these soldiers, agreed to station in Xiaotunzhuang, not far away from the village, based on their fear of the "Panda Model" village. Soon, the villagers felt that these soldiers, who were also wearing yellow clothes and incomprehensible bird songs, were different from the previous Japanese soldiers.

To talk about the previous Japanese soldiers, although they murdered fiercely, as long as the order was issued, they would at least immediately obey the orders and fully execute them. Walk, walk, sit and stand all have a strong atmosphere of professional soldiers.

But these bird-sing soldiers who were wearing the same costumes and talking and not understanding were all so vulgar. Although they were also "Hiyi!" and "Hiyi!" in front of Japanese officers, they always lacked such a sense of poverty and showed great cowardice.

Soon, after inquiries from interested people, the villagers learned about the origin of these soldiers. It turned out that these soldiers were not orthodox Japanese soldiers, but the second Goryeo Devils recruited in North Korea.

The particularity of Zhangzhuang makes the villagers walk on the street and show their good civil certificates to the Japanese and puppet troops who are checking, and they will receive corresponding politeness and preferential treatment. This greatly satisfys the Zhangzhuang people's vanity that has been superior since ancient times, although this vanity is only based on the pride of nothingness, not on the basis of advanced guns and warships.

However, this vanity without force has become a catharsis gap for the other party to pour out the dark psychology in front of the Bangzi Army with an extremely dark psychology.

"Benevolence" and "ritual" are fine traditions of the Chinese nation, but this fine tradition has been used by and used by the surrounding young people. Among these young people, North Korea, a peninsula that extends from the continental shelf, is most well used by the people living in the peninsula.
