Chapter 1043: Aftermath(1/2)

Hu Jilan's article did not receive much attention at the beginning, just like a salted fish hanging on a shelf, and no one would take a look at it.

Only one unfamous comment Times gave a mean comment: Is it a sensational deception, or is it a hard truth?

This article was forgotten in the corner of a portal website and no one cares about it.

It was not until two months later that some photos slowly spread, and the scene of living zombies siege in the city made the Chinese people who had just entered the Internet era excited.

Perhaps because of the shooting angle, or the photography technology is limited, in short, the photos and image materials are not taken well, and the picture processing is blurred.

But the authenticity of the content is what the people care about, and for this reason, many people consulted the local governments to which they belong. Unexpectedly, the silence of senior officials was brought about by the senior officials.

Now, the excitement of the people suddenly broke out overnight.

The Hualian government originally claimed to be an emergency epidemic, but now it has been proven to be a deception to the people, which is unbearable for the people who have turned the tables.

The excited people strongly called for their right to know and the government must give an explanation for this.

More than 200,000 people died in such an unknown way, and no one was worried that they would be the next victim.

In June 1954, China ushered in summer, with the fire-like summer everywhere. But it was not only the sun that burned, but also the mood of the Chinese people. Many people ignored the scorching sun and took to the streets to protest the government's incompetence with slogans and banners.

The zombie incident has come to an end. The government and the military launched a joint operation, and finally found all the mutated heart-eroding grasses that can affect the nerve center of the biological brain through a special radio wave signal device.

Lop Nur returned to tranquility again, but this was not the end, but the beginning of the matter.

The Chinese federal government, after the end of World War II, suffered such a severe impact for the first time. Senior officials from the cabinet headed by Chen Jiongming had to face the excited public opinion, and countless citizens of the country began to raise strong doubts to the government.

The people did not understand the reasons for these things. But they saw the result. In the past few months, the death toll in Xinzhou was as high as 210,000.

Faced with such shocking data, the Chinese federal government was unable to argue, especially the head of state Chen Jiongming.

The nuclear test base is the military's own scientific research project. Chen Jiong clearly does not know about this research plan. The country is so big and government affairs are so complicated. How can he, an old man in his seventies, cover everything?

But voters don’t care about this at all, and they don’t care about how the political system works. They only care about one thing, that is, whether the political leaders they elect can take care of their interests.

If not, then get out of here. This is the core principle of the democratically elected political system.

As for how to do things well, it is the responsibility of politicians, not the people.

Now, it is obvious that such a big disaster has happened. As the head of state, Chen Jiongming has an unshirkable responsibility. He cannot stand up and say that the military's research plan is not about the government's affairs, and he cannot disclose more internal secrets about the remains.

Now, because of an article by female reporter Hu Jilan, the entire senior executives of the Chinese federal government were roasted on the stove.

Affected by this, the news media began to frequently question Chen Jiongming's struggle and ability, and the calls for "retirement" early became increasingly high.

"Can the seventy-six-year-old head of state continue to be competent for political leaders?"

"Who should be responsible for this? The government's secret biochemical accident caused the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people!"

"Lop Nur, military control is still underway. Why doesn't the country let us see the truth there?"

"Is it a deliberate concealment or a choice to deceive because of incompetence, the nature of a politician."

Newspapers and news did unexpectedly choose to stand on the side of the people, but they were all strange and did not mention anything about the military's discovery of super-ancient civilization ruins in Lop Nur.

Everyone pointed at the 76-year-old Chen Jiongming and questioned his current political ability.

On June 15th, it is sunny. Although the weather in Nanjing is hot, the blue sky and the cheerful air make people feel happy.

A special guest came to the head of state's office today. Because of the arrival of this guest, Chen Jiongming turned down all appointments and work.

On a corner of Nanmu desk, there are neatly placed documents that Chen Jiongming needs to process today. On the left is a pottery pen holder, inside which are several very old fountain pens.

In such a huge office, the interior decoration is not luxurious. Apart from books, there are no previous decorations. Everything here reflects the owner's frugality.

Even as the head of state, Chen Jiongming's personal expenses did not exceed the standards of any government civil servant. This kind of integrity is not pretended, but his own character and character.

No matter how strict the moral qualities are, Chen Jiongming cannot be picky about anything.

"Your Highness, thank you so much for your hard work over the past few days." Zhong Yang bowed his head to show respect for the old man in front of him.

It is not because of Chen Jiongming's political status, but because of his talent and character.

"Mr. Zhong, it's not easy to see you over the years." Looking at the young boy who looked in his twenties, Chen Jiongming felt indescribable jealousy and awe in his heart.

Jealousy is because of the other person's youth, and awe is because of the other person's strength.

It is the person in front of me who created a country more than 30 years ago, sweeping across the world. In China, a country with a deep centralized tradition, it established a federal political system.

It is also this person who will establish a huge country and hand over it to others.

You can take it and let it go, you are such a great man!

The two of them looked at each other silently. After a long time, Zhong Yang smiled: "Your Excellency, you know that I am a person. I don't like to meddle in other people's business, I like a quiet life."

If someone else said this, Chen Jiongming would definitely sneer at it. He had never tasted the taste of power, so how could he understand the beauty of it?

What a happy life to control the life, death, wealth and honor of others and control the rise and fall of a country!

But Zhong Yang is not here. If he wanted to rule the country, he would have done that at the beginning. But he did not stand in the shadows in obscurity, support and observe, and only when he thinks it is necessary, he will intervene.

Close the door, Chen Jiongming personally served tea to Zhong Yang. Zhong Yang did not refuse, but accepted it silently.

This time it was not because he came to Chen Jiongming on his own initiative, but because Chen Jiongming had something to talk to him. Because the reporter kept staring at Chen Jiongming's every move, it was impossible for him to secretly leave the head of state's residence.

As a last resort, he secretly sent someone to Guangzhou and invited Zhong Yang.

"Mr. Zhong, what I want to know is. Are you aware of this incident?"

"Oh?" After taking a sip of tea, Zhong Yang had to put down the teacup and answer Chen Jiongming's question: "Hisser-in-chief, be honest, your question is very general, I can only answer you like this."

"I have never participated in the secret research project of Lop Nur, and everything. I only learned about it afterwards. Not only that, even now, the military refuses to let my people participate in the scientific research work."

As he said these words, Zhong Yang's expression was neither happy nor sad, and he was still gentle and smiling. "As for news and public opinion, I have never participated in this matter. Please rest assured."

Zhong Yang's attitude made Chen Jiongming breathe a sigh of relief.

The forces that proposed to be re-elected are a secret faction in the army. It is said that the internal name is the Civilization Innovation Society, and the participants are all radical young and powerful officers.

According to Chen Jiongming and Zhong Yang, the supporter behind this organization is Li Zongren, one of the veterans of the military. The other four veterans, Cheng Wenli and Li Shaojie, also have a positive attitude towards the Innovation Huihui.

Without the support of these three people, how could a mere Innovation Club use such a large number of scientific research resources and confidentiality rights?

There is a saying that military is a continuation of politics, which is true. But don’t forget that any political power is established based on military and violence.

It is impossible for Chen Jiongming to firmly take up the position of the head of state, unless he wants to die on the streets, just like the presidents and civilians who were assassinated in the United States.

Now, only Ji Xiaoliang is standing on Chen Jiongming's side, while Wang Liwen has always remained neutral and did not intervene in these political struggles.

Now that I learned that Zhong Yang was not involved, at least I did not clearly support these people's actions, Chen Jiongming felt much more at ease, "Mr. Zhong, I'm going to say that the existence of the Innovation Society is very dangerous, and everything comes from their ideas."

"I also know some of this, but the question is, how should we deal with them? You and I understand the Constitution. The Chinese Federation cannot be convicted of different statements from people unless they do violate the law." Zhong Yang reminded.

Not sinning because of words means not engaging in literary inquisition or ideological struggle.

Perhaps for the sake of the stability of the state regime, it is a good choice to kill some ideas that conflict with oneself in the cradle, but such struggles will eventually be expanded and will be used in power struggles.

Therefore, Zhong Yang has always insisted that everything must follow the principles prescribed by the law, and this example cannot be made.

The purpose of the Innovation Society is to narrow or even eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor, reduce the waste of social resources, and at the same time reform the existing political and economic system, so that people with high moral integrity and firm thoughts can become leaders, stand ahead of everyone, and guide the progress of the entire country.

But Zhong Yang knew very well that this was the centralized system that Sun Yixian had created, using external terror and threats to establish a soldier who had to unite everyone in struggle.

No doubt about the leader's words and deeds are allowed, otherwise it will be a counter-revolutionary.

Of course, under this political system, administrative efficiency is indeed very high, and it is conducive to accumulating national strength, carrying out various large-scale engineering projects, and strengthening the country's military and scientific and technological strength.

Although China achieved an unprecedented victory in World War II, the threat has never been completely eliminated.

First of all, in 1949, Western countries led by the United States established a pan-military alliance - the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in order to fight against the rising Chinese Federation, to establish a pan-military alliance - the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is referred to as NATO for short.

At the beginning, the organization had only seven members, but now it has expanded to twenty-three, with most countries in Europe joining in search of protection.

Just in mid-April this year, India also announced its joining the organization, which seemed to be because China and Pakistan were too close, which caused dissatisfaction among most people in India.

As the main promoter of the splitting of India, China and India have an indesolate hatred, so it has always been hostile to China.

India's move to join NATO has caused a political chain reaction, with China's political and military circles. Some people have begun to worry that this move is a conspiracy of Western countries, and are even more worried that it will pose a great threat to China's local defense.

There is only a mountain between India and China.

Once India and NATO countries reach a defense agreement, it means that the United States, Britain and other countries are likely to deploy strategic and tactical missiles in India, which will directly threaten China's mainland.

The reason why the Innovation Association was able to quickly expand its influence and gained the support and acquiescence of so many senior officials in China was also caused by some NATO actions.

Because of military threats from other countries, fear will make people feel insecure, making it easier to fall into the arms of the strong and become a supporter of power.

The same is true in China today. Most people have not established the basic psychological qualities of self-confidence, independence, and self-improvement. When they encounter difficulties, they always think of roles like "savior".

But the "savior" never appeared. The people's dependence and fanaticism eventually only created a dictator. For example, Sun Yixian and Jiang Ruiyuan, as well as a certain red sun in the original time and space, these people were once praised by the people on the altar.

But it turns out that worship and belief in someone cannot save anything.

However, the facts are cruel. Even though we know that this choice is wrong, Zhong Yang cannot stop it.

Because no matter how powerful Zhong Yang is, he cannot make a choice for the people. The major event of the country lies in the people's own choice. It is them who choose the path to rely on the strong.

In ancient times, people's hearts were tortured by the poverty of life. Therefore, they attached their hearts to religion.

Entering the modern era, productivity has been greatly improved and democratic political ideas have been promoted. However, the so-called democracy is actually the people who choose to rely on and follow someone themselves.

In the Middle Ages, all the sages were firmly pursuing a certain idea and path, so they were saints.

But entering the so-called civilization era, there are still many foolish people, like fanatical religious believers, who are willing to follow their idols and be their own cows and horses.
