At the beginning of October, the preparatory meeting ended. At this meeting, it was made clear that a political consultative meeting involving democratic forces from all walks of life across the country would be formally held in October 1943. The meeting would hear the drafting of the Communist Party's draft policies on the country as a whole, the state system and other aspects. report, and also adopted the China United Government Work Report.
It has made it clear that China must unswervingly follow the path of new democracy for a long time to come, and clarified the political program of multi-party joint participation in politics under the leadership of the Communist Party.
At the same time, it was clarified that the full name of New China would be the People's Republic of China, and the capital of New China would be Peiping. Peking would be officially renamed Beijing as the capital of the People's Republic of China starting in 2003.
At the same time, the preparatory meeting also clarified that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the National People's Congress, which represents the true public opinion of the people across the country, will be convened in due course. Both the People's Congress and the Political Consultative Conference serve as constituent elements of the national legislative body and each assume the corresponding functions.
Relevant legislative work on the People's Republic of China has already begun since the first preparatory meeting. The main laws and regulations continue the relatively mature mechanism of the Chinese United Government. However, because China has added a large number of new territories, the new legislative work must be based on the current adapt to the political, economic and military situation. Therefore, all factors must be taken into consideration when drafting new laws. It needs to be actionable, comprehensive and forward-looking.
At the same time, the country¡¯s medium- and long-term development plans and the first national five-year plan have also begun to be prepared.
In this life of Xunhuaizhou, Xunhuaizhou, through its own influence, particularly emphasizes that the country¡¯s construction and development in all parts of the country must be planned first and then built. Medium and long-term planning and short-term planning must be closely integrated.
To this end, Xunhuaizhou took time out of his busy schedule to have an extensive and in-depth discussion with Zhou Tao, because no one in this world could have a deeper understanding of the future development trends of the world than he and Zhou Tao. , For the future of the country, Xunhuaizhou no longer cares about keeping a low profile at this time.
With the instruction and support of the chairman, Xunhuaizhou spent a lot of time. Government personnel in charge of planning and experts and professors had extensive and in-depth exchanges, and expressed the main ideas of themselves and Zhou Tao.
To this end, Xun Huaizhou and Zhou Tao also jointly compiled a large number of books and papers on national planning with advanced concepts for future generations. As a result, China did not make the mistakes that ordinary countries make in their infancy at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Instead, China steadily moved towards a healthy and rapid development path from the beginning.
Especially in terms of respecting human rights, social security, economic development and punishing corruption, a very sound system has been established from the beginning, which has enabled the country to avoid many detours in its future development.
When China begins to shift its current focus to internal construction, profound changes are also taking place in the world.
Starting from October 1942, the Japanese Southern Expeditionary Forces gradually retreated from Australia to the Philippines and Indonesia. By the beginning of 1943, the number of Japanese troops remaining in Australia had dropped from the original more than 700,000 to the current shortage. Two hundred thousand people.
What¡¯s subtle about the relationship is that the US-Australian coalition forces actually retreated at the same rate as the Japanese army. By the beginning of 1943, the number of Allied troops stranded in Australia was less than 300,000. The vast majority of Allied troops were transported to the battlefields in North Africa and Italy within this six-month period, because on these two battlefields, the Allied forces were fighting fiercely with the German and Italian armies.
In the beginning of 1943, the Italian army that fought against the Allied forces was retreating steadily. In the spring of 1943, after the Allied forces landed in Sicily, Italy saw the collapse of Mussolini's fascist government, just like in history. However, this world has arrived earlier because the United States has withdrawn a large number of troops from the Pacific battlefield and Germany intentionally gave up on the Italian army.
In the life of looking for Huaizhou, due to the promotion of thoughtful people, Germany and Italy did not invade Eastern European countries such as Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, Romania, and Greece to the southeast. Instead, they maintained good relations with these countries. Relations, these Eastern European countries also maintain good neutral relations with Germany, which has caused Germany to greatly reduce its defense forces in southeastern Europe.
At the same time, Germany had always maintained a relatively conservative attitude towards Italy's combat capabilities, so it was not deeply involved in the North African war. Only tens of thousands of Rommel's enemy German troops joined the North African battlefield. In the second half of 1942, because of the United States and Australia, A large number of troops joined the North African battlefield. Therefore, under Hitler's order, Rommel withdrew from the North African battlefield in early 1943 and began to gradually return to defense and consolidate the European continent.
In April 1943, the Allied forces launched a landing operation in Sicily.
The Allied landing in Sicily forced the collapse of Mussolini¡¯s fascist government, and the new government composed of Badoglio began to cooperate with the American and British secretaries.? Negotiations were held, but repeated delays due to haggling between the two sides over whether to "unconditionally surrender" gave Hitler enough time to strengthen his forces in Italy.
The day after Mussolini's collapse, Hitler ordered the occupation of all mountain passes in the Alps on the German-Italian border and the French-Italian border, and quickly assembled 8 German divisions from France and southern Germany, called Army Group B, led by Rommel. The marshal was appointed commander, and preparations were made to march into Italy. In early May, Rommel led his troops across the border into northern Italy to support Field Marshal Kesselring's eight German divisions stationed in southern Italy.
After the Allies captured Sicily on April 17, they decided to continue their attack on mainland Italy. The ground attack force was the 15th Army Group commanded by British General Alexander, which included Montgomery's British 8th Army and the US 5th Army commanded by Clark.
On May 3, Italian representatives and allied representatives secretly signed an armistice agreement. In the early morning of that day, the British 8th Army crossed the narrow Strait of Messina from Sicily, landed on the Apennine Peninsula in Italy, and rapidly advanced towards southern Italy.
On May 8, the British Broadcasting Corporation broadcast the official announcement of Italy's surrender.
In the early morning of May 9, the U.S. 5th Army commanded by Clark landed in the Gulf of Salerno.
After hearing the news, the alert German army immediately disarmed 800,000 Italian troops, arrested a large number of Italian army officers, occupied Rome on September 10, and controlled the Italian mainland as far south as Naples.
The Italian king, Badoglio and others hurriedly fled to the Allied-occupied area in the south by submarine. On May 13, Hitler sent an SS commando to rescue Mussolini from being imprisoned in the Grand Sasso Hilltop Hotel. Mussolini then established the "Italian Social Republic" in northern Italy with Hitler's support. government, against the Badoglio government.
On June 13, the Badoglio government officially withdrew from the "Axis" alliance and declared war on Germany. At the same time, the governments of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union also issued declarations recognizing Italy as a common fighting party.
Since then, the brutal tug-of-war between Germany and the Allies in Italy has begun for more than a year, like a meat grinder. This almost inescapable tug-of-war, like fate, devoured the lives of a large number of Allied German soldiers, and eventually exhausted the combat power of the Allied forces and Germany.
Different from the brutality of the Mediterranean battlefield, the Pacific battlefield was calm. Starting in 1942, the Japanese army dispatched most of the Southern Expeditionary Forces to the Philippines and the Indonesian Islands. Originally, the Japanese army wanted to send 20 troops from the Indochina Peninsula. Thousands of people have also retreated to the Indonesian archipelago. However, because of the strength of China's navy and air force, the Japanese army will be resolutely attacked by our army as long as it smuggles out on a small scale. Therefore, the Japanese army's attempt to withdraw its troops from the Indochina Peninsula has never been implemented. More than 20 people Wan Dajun could only rely on the local backing to survive and stabilize.
The 100,000 Japanese troops in India launched a relatively fierce offensive against the British army in the autumn, driving the British troops basically to western India. At the same time, they captured and seized most of the equipment of the British troops in India, which reduced the logistical support of the 100,000 Japanese troops. Got relief. It was not until the end of 1942 that the Japanese army stopped attacking the British army and stabilized the front line west of Madhya Pradesh.
Similarly, in the northern region, our Fifth and Sixth Field Armies stopped advancing westward after advancing their front lines to the Ural Mountains and Ural River area at the end of 1942. It has begun to enter the stage of consolidating the defense line and resting on the battlefield.
At the same time, our country began to carry out large-scale economic construction in the Far East region east of the Ural River. Build this place into my country's stable energy and modern chemical industry base.
Similarly, starting from the second half of 1942, the Japanese Far East Dispatch Force began to enter the area west of the Volga River and violently collided with the Soviet army. Although the Soviet Union faced the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts, at the last moment of national survival, the Soviet Union People still have great potential, proving to the world that a big country with a population of 200 million will never be destroyed easily by other countries.
Whether it was the German army or the Japanese army, they suffered a large number of casualties during the battle with the Soviet Union, and the war began to become intertwined.
Especially the Japanese army, because the Soviets hated this despicable country the most. With no retreat, the Soviet Union launched many fierce attacks on the Japanese army. Although the Japanese army had 1.5 million troops, they were novices. Mainly composed of troops, after the real war with the Soviet Union, it is no longer a match for the Soviet army.
Therefore, although the Japanese army received a lot of weapons and ammunition from the German army, the war still went from bad to worse. The situation was precarious. Fortunately, Germany's siege of Leningrad and Moscow on the Western Front diverted most of the Soviet Union's energy there, allowing the more than one million Japanese troops to survive after massive attrition.
