.    After the Jebsen incident in Macau.  Hua Fei once issued a global wanted order, which caused a huge sensation among the people.  Especially after those people were assassinated, various countries reacted greatly, and for a time there was a considerable diplomatic crisis.  But morally speaking, Hua Fei still occupies a certain position, so in the end it was settled. Only a few people still insist on protesting to the Chinese government.

    After the Jebsen incident, Hua Fei had a reason to do what he did.  If this top-secret fatwa was made public, it would obviously be very inappropriate.  Because firstly, you have no way of knowing who the other party is, and secondly, since such an incident can be planned, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people, or even the governments of relevant countries, to be involved.  With such a powerful force behind it, it is difficult to leave conclusive evidence.  Therefore, even if Hua Fei's intelligence agency finds out the truth, it will definitely not be able to obtain evidence.  And even if one or two pieces of evidence are obtained, depending on the power of the other party, they will not be extradited to face Chinese legal sanctions.  There is a 100% chance that the person acting as a shield is definitely the scapegoat, and the real 'murderer' and 'planner' are definitely safe.

    This is the fundamental reason why Hua Fei finally decided to issue a top-secret fatwa. He not only wanted to find out the murderer, but also secretly assassinated the principal culprit.  Hua Fei wants people to know.  At least a small number of people should know that they have to pay the price for their actions. No matter what the power behind them is, once they touch Hua Fei's bottom line, they will incur continuous assassinations throughout their lives.

    Time flies to 1926. On January 1 of this year, Hua Fei¡¯s presidential ceremony was officially held after several months of delay, and he officially became the first legitimate president of the democratically elected government.  According to Hua Fei's opinion, the entire ceremony was very simple, even a little shabby.  But the entire country knew that the president they elected had officially taken office, and that their president seemed to have recovered from the disappearance of his wife.  Through wired and wireless broadcasts, all those paying attention heard Hua Fei's brief oath of office.

    In his oath of office, Hua Fei briefly described the history before the democratically elected government. He expressed his gratitude to the countless heroes and martyrs who have worked hard, made contributions, and even sacrificed their lives on the road to pursuing democracy, democracy, national prosperity, and national rejuvenation.  pay tribute.

    Hua Fei said that some people say that he is the first president of the country and the founding president of the country.  But Hua Fei doesn't think so. If he is to be ranked first, Hua Fei can only be regarded as the first president of a nationally elected government.

    Hua Fei said with great sincerity and humility that Mr. Sun Wen is undoubtedly the one who has made incomparable and huge contributions to the country on the road of the entire national revolution.  And the position of the founding president of this country naturally belongs to Mr. Sun Wen.  History and people.  We will never forget the pioneers who made contributions in the revolutionary journey. The new government of China belongs to the whole people, but the glory of this revolution belongs to the pioneers.

    Then, what shocked everyone even more was that Mrs. Hua even mentioned Yuan Shikai.  Hua Fei said that no matter what the historical evaluation of His Excellency Yuan Shikai's actions is, he still made a huge contribution to the revolution and the current government.  His Excellency Yuan Shikai's proclaiming himself emperor certainly went against the original intention of the revolution and was a wrong choice made by an individual.  Yuan Shikai paid the price for his choice, but there is no need to erase his contribution and give him a historical truth.

    No matter what, Yuan Shikai is still the second president of the Republic of China. Therefore, the founding time of the Republic of China is definitely not 1926, but January 1, 1912, and he, Hua Fei, can only be regarded as the president of the Republic of China.  *The third president of the Republic.

    Hua Fei finally said that through the struggle and efforts of countless people, we have initially achieved the stability and unity of the country.  But this is just the beginning.  We are still a long way from our goal of national rejuvenation, people's prosperity, and national strength.  The longer distance is to achieve the great rejuvenation of Chinese civilization and the overall prosperity of Chinese culture.

    Our road is still very tortuous and difficult, but as long as everyone unites and works together, tomorrow will be full of hope and light, and the future will be even better.  And he, Hua Fei, will solemnly swear here that he is willing to work hard for this goal, for our country, and for the people of this country, and will never regret it!

    Although this short oath contains only a few words, it is full of sincerity and humility. From this oath of office, people can no longer see the reckless, tyrannical, iron-blooded, and even extremely stupid Hua Shashen.  Hua Fei has quietly begun to transform from a professional soldier to an elegant national leader.

    Beijing, Renhe Hospital, Sun Wen, who was seriously ill in bed, carefully listened to Hua Fei's oath of office with the help of his secretary.  Although he was terminally ill, Sun Wen's spirit was as clear as a flashback.  When he heard that Hua Fei respected him as the first founding president of the Republic of China.  This old man, who was less than sixty years old, had blurry eyes.

    It¡¯s not just Sun Wen in the hospital bed whose eyes are also blurry, those from the old Beiyang clan, and those from the Yuan DynastyMany of Kai's former disciples and staff were filled with emotion.  History should give Yuan Shikai an objective evaluation. Although Yuan Shikai failed in the end, no matter how you look at it, he can still assume the term "hero".

    A hero who dominated the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China would certainly not be without loyal subordinates.  And many people whose interests are tied to Yuan Shikai, or those old Beiyang warlords who inherited Yuan Shikai's legacy, have deep feelings for this long-dead marshal.

    After the Beiyang Clan became history in China, many middle and low-level officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army were retained and incorporated into the National Defense Forces system.  However, most officers and soldiers were retired and demobilized in accordance with regulations.  Although the Nanjing government did not impose any discrimination or restrictions on their freedom, their era and glory will always be in the past and can only be remembered.

    The bigger reason why their eyes were filled with tears was not necessarily because Hua Fei recognized Yuan Shikai¡¯s revolutionary contribution to the country, but because they were moved by the recognition of their past.  Even Yuan Shikai's rebellious act of proclaiming himself emperor was forgiven by Hua Fei and his revolutionary contribution was recognized.  So how can these late Beiyang officers not be recognized?

    Their tears are more about their feelings for themselves.  Perhaps it was from this moment that they developed a sense of belonging to the Nanjing government, and they began to develop a sense of glory for the Republic of China.  because.  This country today also has their contribution, which is recognized by President Hua Fei.

    ***

    With no more worries, Sun Wen lay down silently. He did not leave a warning to future generations that the revolution had not yet succeeded and comrades still needed to work hard. Instead, he grabbed his secretary assistant Wang Jingwei and others at the last moment and told them to do it.  We must serve the democratically elected government, the country, the people, and the entire nation.  Work hard.

    Sun Wen is gone. After all, people still cannot compete with fate.  Three days after Hua Fei, the president of the new democratically elected government, was officially sworn in, Sun Wen passed away, only a few months later than in the original history.

    Sun Wen¡¯s death marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new era.  Although Hua Fei said in his oath of office that Sun Wen was the first founding president of the Republic of China, in the writings of later historians, the Republic of China obviously had two eras.  1. An era of chaos and chaos.  Second, the era of unified rise.

    Sun Wen is generally regarded as the leader in the era of chaos and chaos, but Hua Fei is the leader in the era of China's unification and China's rise.  Although his name is not the founding president of the country, in fact, his historical status is even worse.

    When Hua Fei received the news of Sun Wen¡¯s death, he was not much surprised.  After all, Sun Wen's condition was different from Cai E's. Even in later generations, it was still a headache.

    After officially taking office, Hua Fei signed nine presidential decrees within a few days.  They are all national implementation orders for various political, economic, educational, cultural, agricultural and commercial reform measures that have been piloted in various places before.  These reform measures were born in the original autonomous region. After years of practice and promotion, and summarizing experience, the details are undoubtedly very mature.  When Hua Fei was officially elected as the president, the cabinet members in the first office quickly formulated various plans and implemented them in a comprehensive manner after the inauguration ceremony.

    The tenth presidential decree is about holding a state funeral for Mr. Sun Wen.  Although the Democratic Party is only the second largest party, it still has a certain status among the people, especially among intellectuals.  Whether it is to unite the people or out of respect for Sun Wen.  Sun Wen definitely deserves the state funeral.

    ***

    After the government was fully formed, Hua Fei became more leisurely than imagined. Often at the end of the day, except for a few important documents that required his signature, he would bask in the sun and read newspapers.  This is not only due to the training and graduation of a large number of administrative talents, but also to this complete government structure.

    Each government department performs its duties and coordinates with each other.  Daily civil affairs are handled by the Prime Minister's Office. Although the Prime Minister is Song Dunchu, many key officials are still members of the Baath Party. Everyone knows this very well.  In addition, Song Jiaoren was young, powerful and experienced, and he did not expect that he would be able to hold the position of prime minister and display his talents and fulfill his ambitions.  Especially in many government affairs reforms, the presidential office is very supportive and has no restrictions. This undoubtedly aroused Song Dunchu's enthusiasm for work.  In addition, after Mr. Sun Wen's funeral, many outstanding young talents from the Democratic Party joined him one after another, making the Prime Minister more comfortable and doubling his work efficiency.

    Eight representatives elected by the parliament form the cabinet, but in fact they only have the name of a cabinet and do not have much real power. They only speak on behalf of the parliament and become the link between the two major departments of the parliament and the Prime Minister's Office and the Presidential Office.  And since the Parliament is almost monopolized by the Baath Party,?So this cabinet is also jokingly called the president's private cabinet among the people.

    ¡°The one who really holds the so-called power of the cabinet is the former Office of Change Planning, which is also known as the senior political staff team of the first office of the presidential palace.  Although these people do not have any actual official positions, they represent the authority of the president. They can not only supervise the Prime Minister's Office, but also give orders to the Prime Minister's Office, and can even bypass the Prime Minister's Office and issue orders directly to local governments.

    To a certain extent, the orders issued by this ¡®first cabinet¡¯, which has the nature of the Office of the Secretary to the Presidential Palace, are often taken more seriously than the orders of the Prime Minister¡¯s Office.  Because in essence, the Prime Minister's Office only assists the president in implementing civil affairs and has an obvious subordinate relationship with the presidential office.

    The senior political advisors of the First Cabinet can handle most matters, and they know that Hua Fei's energy and psychology are greatly affected by his wife's affairs, so most of the time, they are unwilling to disturb Hua Fei with government affairs.  fly.

    Hua Fei can understand everyone's mood, but Hua Juan's mother has not come back for many days, which has aroused her suspicion.  Hua Fei had no choice but to spend a lot of time with his daughter. He didn't want to, or he really didn't know, to tell his daughter that her mother might never come back.

    When thinking of this, Hua Fei couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.  So what about the top-secret fatwa? Even if he uses the power of the state to kill all the conspirators behind it, Haman will never come back.  Whenever he thinks of the past years, whenever he thinks of being tired from working in this courtyard, Haman will always massage his shoulders and head silently, and sit next to him silently. The guilt in Hua Fei's heart  The love became more and more burning and unstoppable.

    There are some things that you can use time to make up for, but there are some things that, once missed, can never be regained.

    Although the new government has just been formed, for the vast majority of China, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River that have long been under the rule of Nanjing, whether it is local government or the public, the sense of change is not very strong.  Many of the ¡®new policies¡¯ implemented by the new government have actually been implemented in these areas for a long time.

    Hua Fei, the newly elected democratically elected president, seems to have disappeared from newspapers and radio broadcasts. Even in many large-scale events held by the government, Hua Fei is nowhere to be seen.  Private newspapers, including sharp newspapers such as Current Affairs Review, have shown understanding and tolerance.  However, someone still published an article in the Current Affairs Review newspaper and pointed out that although the pain of losing his wife is painful, as the president of the country, Hua Fei must suppress his personal grudges and stand up to work for the country and the people in order to live up to his obligations.  People's expectations are huge.

    Some people also pointed out that the first lady has been "missing" for so long and there is still no news. The news of her survival may be extremely slim.  Not only Hua Fei personally but also the national government should consider holding a funeral for the first lady. The first lady's status and contribution to the people of the country deserve the treatment of a state funeral.

    These somewhat inappropriate articles immediately caused a stir.  Someone immediately published an article in response and pointed out that as the first lady was the wife of the president, there were many mysteries behind his murder. However, obviously, as the president¡¯s wife, the murder of the first lady must not be left unclear, or even before the body was found.  In case of death, a funeral is held.  In addition, the president has been working hard for the country for many years, and now he has encountered such a family change. It is understandable for the president to take a year off even if he prefers himself to others.  Moreover, as state affairs are being finalized, although it is difficult to see the President on various occasions, who knows that Mr. President is not working? Does anyone feel that the work of the government has stopped?

    Someone said this, but no one refuted it. The focus of everyone's discussion is that the president has disappeared from the public eye. No one knows whether the president is working or not.  But one thing cannot be said nonsense, that is, the government's work has not stopped, but has become more orderly, and various construction projects are also being carried out more enthusiastically across the country.

    The proposal to hold a state funeral for the first lady has attracted even more opposition.  Many people believe that although the First Lady has a noble status, she has also done many charitable things for the country, especially for many poor people.  However, most of the first lady's work is private work, and the unified railway company established is also the private property of the Hua family.  So no matter from which aspect, the first lady must not enjoy the treatment of a state funeral, otherwise it will disrupt the country's etiquette system.

    ¡°As a newspaper commentator said, who knows if the president is working.  Although Hua Fei spends most of his time with his daughter, Hua Juan is old enough to go to school after all.  Therefore, while his daughter is in class, Hua Fei still focuses on the in-depth progress in several major reform areas.

    First, education reform.  Education is the cornerstone of the development of a country and a nation. No matter what keywords you use to describe the importance of education to a country and a nation, it cannot be overstated.  The greatest function of education isUse knowledge to defeat ignorance and defeat ignorance.  Once the entire nation is armed with knowledge, all problems will no longer be a problem.

    The education reform system has been launched for a long time. With the suggestions of domestic educators, the large-scale introduction of Western learning, and the adherence to Hua Fei¡¯s popularization of traditional cultural education and the basic requirements for the revival of classical culture, there has been no major reform in the education system.  Problem.  Vocational education complements college education and continuously provides a large number of talents for the development and construction of the country.

    In Hua Fei¡¯s view, an education system that loses its emphasis on traditional culture and classical culture is no longer the education of the nation.  When the talents trained by the education system are still ignorant of history, traditional literature, and classical philosophy, they speak a foreign language and can talk about Dante, Shakespeare, Plato, and Hegel. They are educated under this education system.  Can our students still be responsible for inheriting national culture?  Can he still be considered a student of China?  It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t know about the Renaissance, but if you only know Western culture and philosophy when you are still ignorant of the culture of your own nation¡¯s sages, it will undoubtedly look like a pitiful tragedy.

    Hua Fei¡¯s focus on education reform is not about systemic issues, but about investment in education funding, that is, the comprehensive implementation of the dual reforms of free education and commercialization of education, going hand in hand and advancing together.  Free education is a government obligation and a responsibility that a country must shoulder.  In an era where equality is advocated for all, it is unrealistic to achieve so-called absolute equality.  But at least in terms of education, children should be able to enjoy this basic equal right in their childhood and root out the concept of equality.

    The government¡¯s financial crisis has passed. Although the finances are still in a difficult period, the country is basically unified, the war has been completely ended, and military spending has been reduced, which has eased financial pressure.  However, it is obviously still impossible to implement free compulsory education across the country at once.  Therefore, Hua Fei's current focus is to find ways to raise funds and plan to overcome all obstacles and difficulties in the shortest possible time. No matter how much it costs, he will work hard to complete this matter just like a war.

    Free compulsory education is universal across the country, and all children of school age must receive compulsory education.  But at the same time, business reforms are also open to higher education and vocational education, allowing private capital to enter to enrich the education system and provide the public with more education choices.

    The second reform is medical care.  Although Huafei wants to popularize free medical services, it is obviously unrealistic to do so when the reform of free education has not yet been realized.  Medical reform mainly aims to promote the institutionalization and industrialization of traditional Chinese medicine and increase investment in education, introduce Western medicine, popularize medical points across the country, implement a medical insurance system and promote a medical assistance system, so that all people can enjoy basic medical and health services.

    The third reform is economic reform.  The country's economic policy has always been focused on the development of the private national economy. However, because the government accepted a large number of factories and properties from the former Qing and Beiyang governments, government capital is also widely used in mining, steel, shipbuilding, machinery, military industry and other fields.  The reform that Hua Fei wants to make is to gradually withdraw government capital from these fields. An independent government needs to interfere with economic development as much as possible. The result of the government's participation in economic construction will inevitably lead to a large waste of resources.  Hua Fei understands the advantages of a government-dominated economy, but the phenomenon of the butt determining the head is inevitable in a government-dominated economy.  The result is not what Hua Fei values, but the massive waste of resources and the consequent pollution caused by the waste of resources under this economic structure, which Hua Fei absolutely cannot tolerate.

    Hua Fei hopes that the country will be strong and the nation will rise, but he definitely does not want a country to rise on the ruins. Strength lies in the waste and consumption of resources.  Many years later, even if your GDP ranks first in the world, when you look back, you will find that the country that was once a vast country has been riddled with holes, leaving nothing but deserts, sandstorms, and sewage.  You will find that the so-called rise of the nation is just standing on a garbage dump. How will you feel?  What is the use of such a rise?  It's just a transparent coat for yourself, like the emperor's new clothes.

    State capital will gradually withdraw from the above-mentioned fields, but it will not withdraw completely. Especially in financial fields such as banking, the state still controls a certain amount of equity. Just like what Huafei implemented in the autonomous region before, the state holds shares but does not participate in operations.  manage.

    We should focus the government¡¯s functions on supervision, standardizing and formulating market order, and cracking down on illegal operations that violate order and laws.
