Chapter 979 The enthusiasm of the people is irresistible
Wang Maoru is not a god, he is also one of the top two. At the same time, he needs his think tank to give him advice. After several discussions and analysis by Wang Maoru, Tang Shaoyi, Jiang Fangzhen, Sa Zhenbing and others, the first point of whether to give up the Kizil Fortress and the second point of rewarding the meritorious officials is the internal military affairs of the National Defense Forces, but the third point of controlling public opinion and the fourth point of the Sino-Soviet negotiations are related to the political direction of the country, and he cannot easily draw conclusions.
So Wang Maoru held emergency consultations overnight with Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, Deputy Defense Minister Sa Zhenbing, Senate Speaker Shi Shaoyang, Senate Speaker Wu Zhaolin, House Speaker Liu Enge, House Speaker Liang Qichao, Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang, and Deputy Foreign Affairs Gu Weijun. The meeting minutes were jointly completed by Yang Du and Secretary-General of the State Council Lin Changmin. The discussion was from 9 pm to 3 pm. The direction of the meeting was whether the news of the victory would cause a new round of national awakening after the announcement of the victory, and whether it would cause a complete breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations.
At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Maoru explained to everyone the whole battle before and after the Heart of Central Asia. This battle had been planned for four years in Wang Maoru's plan. On the way back to China from Russia, Wang Maoru took the lead in occupying Central Asia and the northwest of the outside world, leaving behind the most capable third and 10th divisions in the National Defense Forces as the backbone to establish the Western Regions Military Region. Wang Maoru took the Russians' vindictive character as the starting point. Once the Russians were unified, they would definitely recover their territory. To this end, the National Defense Forces' military budget would invest a large amount of budgets into the Western Regions Military Region every year, and the ammunition reserves of the Western Regions Military Regions were nearly half of the country.
After hearing this, Liang Qichao was shocked. It turned out that when Wang Maoru was in the Battle of Unification of China, he did not use his strongest troops, but used second-rate troops. Even so, he swept through the old army.
Wang Maoru continued to say that after the Soviet Union signed the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty that was humiliated, he was dissatisfied and repeatedly suggested to the army to recover the territory and spread the ** remarks at home, describing China as vampire borers and dirty yellow people. The "yellow peril theory" within the Soviet Union was extremely serious, and there must be a battle between China and the Soviet Union. Therefore, this battle to determine whether China's rise or the Soviet Union dominates Asia began.
When Wang Maoru said that our army was killed and injured 70,561 people, of which more than half were killed in battle, except for serious injuries and captured. No soldiers surrendered or were captured, everyone was shocked. Among them, Sa Zhenbing, who worked for military positions, Jiang Fangzhen and Wu Zhaolin empathized with each other more than others. The rest of the people did not think that this sentence had a special meaning. People who were more radical would feel that it was a kind of pride, but the three of them knew what this sentence meant. Only when the war was tragic and the entire army was destroyed would no one be captured. If the motherland had risen, he would rather give up his life and fight to death and no one was captured.
Sa Zhenbing sighed, "The country has a soldier, and the country has a soldier."
Wu Zhaolin even commanded the hero of the Wuchang Uprising. How could he not know the meaning of no one being captured? He felt as if the battlefield was in front of him, and the Chinese soldiers were exhausted from ammunition and food, and especially refused to surrender. After killing the enemy with the last bullet, he died tragically under a random knife. No wonder, no wonder Wang Maoru also sat firmly on Mount Tai, no wonder someone as powerful as Sun Liwen had no choice but to take Wang Maoru. There was a group of soldiers who sacrificed their lives and did not take their lives seriously, how could Wang Maoru not monopolize the rule?
Wang Maoru knew that Tang Shaoyi was a person who solved the problem, but not a person who decided the problem. If his suggestion was to ask Wang Maoru what to do first. If Wang Maoru could not find a solution for the time being, he would suggest asking the president what to do. So at the beginning, Wang Maoru directly raised the countermeasures of the problem and announced the news of China's victory. The current problem is how to return to the negotiation table with the Soviet Union after it was announced. It is necessary to prevent the Soviet Empire from tearing apart, and to prevent domestic public opinion from kidnapping the national strategy. Wang Maoru could imagine that once the news was announced, the nationalism would rise again, which would force the Republic of China government to fail to negotiate normally with the Soviet Empire.
For example, does Central Asia still need to be delivered? Do we still have to give the territory to them if we win the war? According to the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty, the Kizil Fortress and all surrounding land, rivers, deserts and salt marshes must be returned to the Soviet Union by the end of the year, so the treaty still needs to be followed. If China does not abide by it, it is in line with the Soviet Union's thoughts. If China abides by it, domestic nationalists will abuse the government as a traitor government, and Wang Maoru will be criticized by the government. In the battle between the Chinese and French between the Qing Dynasty, France won and China won, and how much moral and public criticism is received. No one will take the opportunity to instigate it, especially the Democratic Party is watching it covetously, creating public opinion pressure, allowing China to occupy the Kizil Fortress, and consolidating the fruits of victory. If the government is kidnapped by public opinion, then some interest groups and ambitious people will control the direction of the country.
It was difficult to deal with. Wang Maoru rubbed his head and looked at Jiang Fangzhen and Shi Shaoyang. They also shook their heads and smiled bitterly. State affairs and political affairs are not just about playing houses, but they can affect their whole body. It is easy to announce the news of victory, but the following negotiations are not easy.
At four o'clock in the morning, Li Ziwen came to the State Council again. When he heard the discussion continued inside, he couldn't help knocking in and said with a wry smile: "I'll be printing soon. Should I announce it? I'll give me a message. The people from the All-China Newspaper Federation could no longer hold back. They sat in the lobby of the Ministry of Culture, and even the telegrams were moved to the lobby of the Ministry of Culture."
Although the Ministry of Culture controls the direction of public opinion, as time goes by, the two sides gradually move from the leadership and the leader to the cooperative relationship. Most newspapers will unconditionally obey the instructions of the Ministry of Culture. Occasionally, some disobedient newspapers are not managed by the Ministry of Culture. They are managed by the CIC Department. On the one hand, Li Ziwen needs cultural people to support him, and on the other hand, he cannot suppress these literati and poets too much. Therefore, when these people have a very special relationship with him, literati are generally more excited and radical. When they learn that China is a great victory, they can't wait to pass this news to all Chinese people.
Li Ziwen said helplessly: "The news is published, but have you ever thought about the effect?"
Cha Zumao, director of the Development Department of the Ministry of Culture, said, "The rest of the effects are ignored, but one effect is very obvious."
“What effect?”
Cha Zumao said: "Now the Chinese cultural thoughts are inspiring. The traditional Chinese culture thoughts, Zhu Xi's Confucian Neo-Confucianism, Lu Wang Xinxue, Buddhist thoughts, Taoist thoughts, White Lotus thoughts, Amitabha thoughts, Sun Liwen's Three Principles of the People, free capitalism, Bolshevism, free government ideas, primitive nationalism, and the Confucianism advocated by Xiushuai, can be said that the culture of our Republic of China was prosperous at this time, and it had a controversy with the style of the Spring and Autumn Period. But all ideology must always have a mainstream. Since we have established Confucianism as the mainstream thought, we must serve it. As the advocate of Confucianism and Legalism, the Marshal Shangwu was invincible and invincible. Isn't it proved the value of Confucianism and Legalism to China?"
Li Ziwen frowned and shook his head for a while and said, "You are changing your concept."
Cha Zumao said: "But only the Marshal Shangwu can save China, right? His words are right. All his actions are interpreting his thoughts, including leading the National Defense Force to defeat Rakshasa!"
Li Ziwen thought about this and decided to support the All-China Newspaper Federation, report to Wang Maoru, and wait for the State Council's decision.
When Li Ziwen walked into the conference room, he suddenly felt the conflict between the people, and he could only sit aside and wait for the result. Finally, Wang Maoru slapped the table and laughed: "What are you afraid of when you fight? The Russians have also tasted our fists, and the world can't underestimate me anymore. The whole world thinks that China is still the braided soldiers when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing. Let everyone see, our ** team is not a vegetarian. Also, if it is not reported, how can we be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in front of the Kizil Fortress?" He turned to Li Ziwen and said: "I agree that you can report it, but you need to pay attention to the wording, not a full-scale war, but a friction and self-defense counterattack. There is also the incident of Russian fleeing some time ago, you also asked someone to write it out, and use the excuse that the Russians had known that the Soviet Union would fight with China because it began to flee in February and March as an excuse that the Russians had long known that the Soviet Union would start to flee in February and March, and all the responsibilities were shifted to the Soviet Empire."
Li Ziwen nodded immediately and hurriedly went back to notify him.
Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly and said, "This is indeed a bit difficult."
"Since the road has reached this point, we have no room to retreat." Wang Maoru smiled bitterly, "We must avoid a full-scale war with the Soviet Union, but we must be prepared to have a full-scale war with them. We have won this battle, we have achieved an important political victory in the world, and China's national status has been unprecedentedly improved. But we must also prevent our self-confidence from being too inflated. Some people follow the example of Empress Dowager Cixi, thinking that China is the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Celestial Kingdom and declare war on the eight countries at the same time. It should be noted that if we continue to fight with the Russians now, the revived Chinese civilization will be constrained again."
Senate Speaker Shi Shaoyang said: "That's true. Please rest assured that members of Congress will not have any objections to this."
House Speaker Liu Enge also said: "Please rest assured that Xiushuai and the House of Representatives will support Xiushuai to the end."
Senate Deputy Minister Wu Zhaolin and House Deputy Minister Liang Qichao also nodded.
Wang Maoru said again: "One of the things that foreign powers really hope that China and the Soviet Union will fight to the death, so they will definitely bribe some of the parliamentarians and make them propose more radical ways to prevent China and the Soviet Union from returning to the negotiating table. You should pay attention to these parliamentarians. They are either bewitched by their ability to think, or they are bribed by foreign countries and become traitors. These people are no longer worthy of being parliamentarians, and they will be ruthlessly attacked and excluded them."
