Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The following time was a hellish torture for Zhao Erlengzi. Bills were constantly proposed, and then these representatives were divided into groups to discuss.  Listening to some representatives' impassioned statements of their views, Zhao Erlengzi kept wanting to take a nap.

    When voting, Zhao Erlengzi knew to press the green button.  He did remember that green meant agreement and red meant objection.  Fu Zuoyi, who was sitting with him, was curious as to why Zhao Erlengzi kept pressing the green button. Did he support all his proposals?

    "I'm talking about Hu Xiao, why do you agree to all the proposals?" Fu Zuoyi finally couldn't help but asked while eating.

    "I don't think it's easy for them to write so many things. Even considering that they came all the way to Beijing, I have to agree." Zhao Erlengzi expressed his true thoughts.

    "" Fu Zuoyi was speechless.

    ???????????????????????????? But not all of the proposals were raised. Zhao Erlengzi took a nap. The meeting reached the third day.  Zhang Anle began to state his proposal. His proposal included a lot of content, but it was summarized in just a few words, which aimed to improve the social status and welfare benefits of soldiers.

    ¡°Active military personnel, with their military ID cards, can travel across the country for free on all means of transportation, including trains, ships, cars, and possibly airplanes in the future.

    Letters and packages for active military personnel are delivered free of charge and with priority.

    The marriages of active military personnel are protected, and those who maintain improper relationships with military family members will be dealt with strictly!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Anle and Lin Zongzong put forward dozens of ideas, and all the representatives were stunned for a moment.

    Everyone knows that Zhang Anle was born in the military.  But I didn't expect that he would improve the social status and welfare benefits of soldiers so significantly.  Many people did not understand his proposal, and many people looked down on soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.  Those stinky guys, this is their catchphrase when they talk about soldiers.  In particular, some intellectuals are opposed to this bill. They believe that they are the most respected group in society, not the soldiers.

    "I know that everyone doesn't understand this proposal. Many people don't like soldiers. Especially in this special period, our country has been divided by various local warlords. Years of melee have brought serious consequences to people's lives.  Unlucky.

    But the essence of the military is the pillar of national security and the protector of people's lives and property.  As a special group of people in a country, military personnel's social status will directly affect a country's national defense construction and national security.

    Nomini said this in "Introduction to War and Art": "If in a country, the social status of those warriors who sacrifice their lives, health and happiness to defend the country is not as good as that of a fat-bellied merchant, then the country's demise is a little bit  It¡¯s not unfair.¡±

    I am not trying to infinitely raise the social status of soldiers, nor am I trying to implement military dictatorship.  Just thinking about our millions of soldiers.  Strive for a reasonable social status and deserved welfare benefits.

    Now our country has just completed its reunification and is about to enter a period of economic construction.  This does not mean that national defense construction can be stopped or delayed. Every Chinese should remember this.  Our treasure island of Taiwan is still in the hands of the Japanese.  Our Port Arthur is still forcibly leased by Japan, and Hong Kong, Kowloon, and Macau are still in the hands of foreigners.  In the northwest, we still have two places the size of Shandong in the hands of the Soviets, and our soldiers have to pay for these with their lives.

    Many people are happy that the Soviet Union returned the ceded lands in Northeast China, but these lands were obtained by thousands of our soldiers in exchange for their lives.  I hope that all the representatives here can seriously consider my proposal: a gentleman can use weapons to eliminate weapons and avoid danger.  Soldiers must not be played with, otherwise they will have no authority; soldiers cannot be discarded, otherwise they will summon bandits.  In the past, King Fu Chai of Wu was a belligerent and died, and King Xu Yan was also destroyed without force.  Therefore, when the king of Ming Dynasty controls the country, he does not play with military force at the top and does not use force at the bottom.  "

    After Zhang Anle finished speaking, many people below stood up spontaneously.  They applauded vigorously, and the group of people in military uniforms clapped loudest among them.  Zhao Erlengzi, who had been dozing just now, now had his eyes wide open and his hands were red without even realizing it.

    During the voting in the afternoon, even with Zhang Anle¡¯s impassioned speech in the morning.  The proposal he proposed was passed with only 436 votes in favor, 215 against, and 17 abstentions.  There were only 6 more votes than the convention's requirement of two-thirds approval.

    No matter what, it was finally passed. After the proposal is passed, the country will set up a special working group to formulate relevant legal policies, and then vote for approval at the next meeting.

    After more than ten days of meetings, all representatives have adapted to this process.  The highlight of this meeting began. On December 8, Gu Weijun proposed a "Five-Year Development Plan of the Republic of China" on behalf of the State Council.

    This planPlanning includes politics, economy, culture, military, education, health, sports, etc.  all areas of society.  These include the construction of various infrastructures, the launch of dozens of large-scale projects, plans for scientific and technological development, plans for national defense construction, reforms of the military system, changes in the education system, etc.  The "Five-Year Development Plan" makes detailed plans for China's development in the next five years from macro to micro.

    Over the next three days, representatives discussed the rationality and operability of the plan in groups and areas.

    After these days of meetings, Zhang Anle found that he was really full and was causing trouble for himself.  If this meeting of representatives from all walks of life had not been convened, he would have been able to make decisions on many matters by himself.  Now it has to get the consent of these representatives, and he also knows that such a system must be established.  I am not a talented person in internal affairs, and I may not necessarily think right about many things.  Similarly, the country should also have corresponding systems.

    But it¡¯s not without good news. The five-year plan was passed with a high vote of 657 in favor, 3 against, and 8 abstentions.

    Everyone was so enthusiastic about the proposal that the next week's meetings were all about improving the five-year plan.

    ??Through the efforts and hard work of more than 600 representatives, the five-year plan has been improved.  When the new five-year plan was proposed again, it was unanimously approved. When this plan was formulated, Gu Weijun's advisory group numbered hundreds of people.  Now it has been improved by hundreds of people.  It can be said that it is currently the most suitable development plan for China, once this plan is implemented.  It is equivalent to laying the solid foundation for the building of China.

    After the five-year plan is adopted, the next step is to select the country¡¯s legislative and power institutions, formulate the country¡¯s constitution, various laws, and establish the administrative system.

    But this is a huge project and task. Just talking about establishing a constitution and formulating a national system cannot be discussed in a short while.  Finally, the congress decided to elect a 68-member People's Committee.  The main task of the People's Committee is to supervise the implementation of the Five-Year Plan and prepare to formulate various systems. After the implementation of the Five-Year Plan is completed, the Congress of Representatives of all walks of life will be convened again to discuss it.

    According to Zhang Anle¡¯s suggestion, in the next five years, a meeting of representatives from all walks of life will be held in January every year, and the government will report to the meeting on the year¡¯s work. This suggestion was also unanimously adopted.

    On December 20, the meeting of representatives from all walks of life completely completed its tasks and concluded in Beijing.  Overall, the biggest achievement of this meeting was the formulation of a five-year plan and its implementation starting next year.  For various other bills put forward by the representatives, many working groups and committees were established to implement the bills.

    Many representatives hold multiple positions. For example, Zhang Anle is the chairman of the Civil Affairs Reform Commission of the Republic of China, the chairman of the People's Committee of the Republic of China, and the chairman of the Economic Construction Committee of the Republic of China.  Of course, Zhang Anle's most important positions as Consul of the Republic of China and Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China were also officially confirmed at the conference.

    Next, China officially entered the Five-Year Development Plan period. Since this was China¡¯s first Five-Year Development Plan, this period was also called the First Five-Year Plan period.

    Later generations spoke highly of this congress of representatives from all walks of life, believing that it was the convening of this conference that pointed out the direction for China's future construction.  At the same time, it was also because of the convening of this session that the five-year development plan was promulgated. The implementation of the five-year development plan put China on the path of rapid development and laid the foundation for China's status as a major country in the world.  (To be continued)
