    After Chen Jin received the call, he immediately rushed to the palace and entered the imperial study. When he saw Emperor Song Biao who was reviewing official documents, he stepped forward and bowed politely. Emperor Song Biao immediately arranged for him to sit down and put his hand in his hand.  The preliminary review results of the Central Bureau of Investigation on the Li Shucheng case were handed over to Chen Jin for Chen Jin to read first.

    Since the Li Shucheng case was exposed, there have been many doubts about the case, and there are various versions of rumors. Because Li Shucheng once served as Gu Weijun's secretary and was a close confidant whom Gu Weijun cultivated, Gu Weijun's reputation and support rate were greatly improved.  It was also a big hit.

    There are many theories on this matter. It is said that Li Shucheng was already a member of the Youth Gang before becoming Gu Weijun's secretary. He was introduced to Tang Shaoyi by an official who had close contacts with the Youth Gang, and then served as Gu Weijun's secretary.

    Some members of the Democratic Party insisted that Li Shucheng had been giving gifts to Gu Weijun for a long time. Therefore, Gu Weijun was also the one who shared the spoils and even provided protection for Li Shucheng. There was a strong desire to impeach Gu Weijun and to investigate the entire central cabinet officials.  .

    There is also a theory that Li Shucheng has been funded by the Youth Gang for a long time and has been threatened by the society many times. However, Li Shucheng himself insists that he has been threatened by the society for a long time and has no choice but to do so.

    This case has actually become a mystery. Even if the government gives a final investigation report, various suspicions will continue to exist in the society. In particular, the assassination of many local prosecutors has aroused countless speculations.

    Under such circumstances, the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is not under the jurisdiction of the central government, is the only agency with enough credibility to investigate the case and the ability to get to the bottom of it.

    Emperor Song Biao also paid great attention to this case. He appointed Crown Prince Yuhua as the deputy director-general of the Central Bureau of Investigation and personally supervised the case as the crown prince. The person who was really responsible for the case behind the scenes was Chen Mingren, the director-general of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

    Chen Mingren is an Army lieutenant general. He once served as deputy director of the Central Bureau of Secrecy. He has long served as Zhang Jun's deputy, responsible for confidentiality and counterintelligence work. It can be said that he is the first generation of intelligence officers trained by the Far East Army Non-commissioned Officer School.

    After two months of comprehensive investigation, Chen Mingren has basically reached the conclusion of the case, and most of the people involved have pleaded guilty.

    This preliminary investigation report was only delivered to Emperor Song Biao yesterday. Chen Jin happened to come over, so Song Biao showed the investigation report to him and wanted to hear Chen Jin's opinion.

    After all, Chen Jin is now the First Deputy Finance Minister and Director of the General Office of the Central Economic Commission. Over the years, he has experienced multiple positions in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the General Audit Office, the Central Reserve Bureau, and the Ministry of Finance. He must have a completely different personality than when he was young.  difference.

    Of course, Chen Jin is still a very young person at this time.

    After all, you are only 35 years old.

    Chen Jin carefully read the report from the Central Bureau of Investigation and couldn't help but sigh, and replied to Emperor Song Biao: "This case has exposed many problems. Illegal associations have reached a stage where they must be severely punished, and the restoration of the party must also be done."  Only through strict rectification and comprehensive self-examination can we protect ourselves.¡±

    Song Biao nodded slightly.

    He leaned on the back of the chair, still deep in thought. After a while, he continued to talk to Chen Jin: "I met Song Jiaoren this afternoon, and I was quite disappointed. The Democratic Party's policies are a bit immature.  .¡±

    Chen Jin also thought for a moment and replied: "How can we support the opposition party if it is not sensational? Now is the time when the public is agitated. Only when their slogans are more extreme will some people support them. It is understandable that after they came to power, those promises they shouted at the beginning  I¡¯m afraid not many will be able to fulfill it.¡±

    Song Biao hummed and asked Chen Jin: "What do you think of the Li Shucheng case now?"

    Chen Jin simply replied: "It can be handled in accordance with the law. Since the Prime Minister is indeed not involved, I think it will not be a big deal if it is actually handled. However, the government must use iron fist to punish illegal associations."

    Song Biao nodded.

    The whole story of Li Shucheng's case is quite complicated. As one of the many speculations, Li Shucheng secretly joined the society when he was a student. After passing the Central Imperial University, he devoted himself to politics. During this period, he was indeed helped by relatives from Tang Shaoyi's faction.  Stay with Gu Weijun and serve.

    Until Li Shucheng returned to Changsha to run for city council, he didn't have many contacts with associations. However, after he became the director of the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources of Hunan Province, the two sides began to have close contacts. During this period, there was indeed a situation where associations held Li Shucheng hostage.  But in most cases, both parties work closely together.

    During the whole process, Li Shucheng, other officials related to the society, and his own confidants formed a special network in Hunan. The cleverness of this group of people lies in their hidden methods, especially Li Shucheng, who committed crimesHe has extremely high business intelligence and has repeatedly avoided financial scrutiny by the Central Bureau of Investigation.

    Song Biao and Chen Jin said: "When things have reached this stage, we must strictly investigate and crack down on associations. The Central Bureau of Investigation will file a comprehensive criminal lawsuit in the Hunan Provincial High Court in the near future. The sooner the case is concluded, the better, so as not to affect the election."  Affection."

    Chen Jinze said: "If we give an explanation to the people as soon as possible, this matter can be settled as soon as possible."

    Song Biao thought for a moment in silence and suddenly asked Chen Jin: "What do you think is the biggest problem in the empire's current internal affairs?"

    Chen Jin replied without thinking: "The deadline for the restoration of the Party is approaching."

    Song Biao asked in surprise: "Why did you say that?"

    Chen Jin replied: "The idea of ??restoring the Communist Party is no longer as attractive as it used to be. The party is in disarray. Wang Zhaoming, Gu Weijun, and Yang Zhaolin each have their own direct factions. Even Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Kangnian still have their old factions. Among politicians, father and son  There are so many successors, and over time, the party has become the party of various factions, and the so-called Restoration Party is almost a ragtag group of people who only serve the interests of the ruling party."

    Song Biao asked: "Then how do you think we should deal with it?"

    Chen Jin said: "Start anew and re-establish a political party that has solidified its ideology. I believe that any political party has its own fixed lifespan. Some parties are longer and some are shorter. This is all related to social trends. The idea of ??restoring the party has been difficult to keep up with."  With the pace of the times, it is natural to be eliminated. The future partisan disputes in the country in 30 years will most likely be dominated by the Social Democratic Party and the Democratic Party. The two parties, one on the left and the other on the right, each have their supporters."

    Song Biao cannot say that Chen Jin¡¯s judgment is incorrect.

    Of course, Song Biao is not willing to see such a situation, because neither the Social Democratic Party nor the Democratic Party is his favorite party style.

    He continued to encourage Chen Jin: "Tell me more."

    Chen Jin thought for a while and replied cautiously: "I think we should unite with some of the strong imperialist and centrist members in the Liberation Party to re-establish a new party. It just needs to have new political thoughts and ideas, be able to adapt to the general trend of the times, and break away from the general trend of the times."  The burden of the Restoration Party and inheriting part of the legacy of the Restoration Party. At this stage, there is still a chance for this. If it develops relatively quickly, it should be possible to avoid the left-right struggle in imperial society."

    There are various situations in world democratic politics. In most European countries, there is an obvious left-right dispute in terms of party disputes, while the United Kingdom and the United States are typical disputes between liberalism and conservative liberalism.

    The situation in the empire is more complicated. The Restoration Party is a political party with no obvious characteristics. It is generally a conservative liberal party. On the whole, it has the characteristics of both right-wing and left-wing policies. But when it comes to the special situation of the country, the policies of the Restoration Party  And it is indeed closer to the national conditions.

    The issue of political parties is inherently the most complex issue in the world.

    Song Biao did not like Chen Jin¡¯s proposal to abandon the Restoration Party. He did not deny that this was a feasible approach, but without a clear new strategy, the new political party would eventually fall into decay.

    Generally speaking, the corruption problem of the Liberation Party is not particularly serious. After all, it is restrained by the opposition party and the media. Finally, there is a gate like the Central Bureau of Investigation, which uses professional accountants, lawyers and more than a dozen insider companies like Li Shucheng.  Cases of assisting cross-bribery and corruption are also extreme cases. To a certain extent, it is precisely because of the existence of a series of agencies and systems such as the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Central Integrity Bureau that government officials must adopt extremely sophisticated means to avoid supervision.

    For ordinary officials, they really don¡¯t have this kind of ability and bizarre network of relationships.

    The problem with the restoration of the party lies in the internal ideological confusion. Party members no longer have a true unified thinking, and they only gather in the party to pursue unified governing interests.

    Seeing Emperor Song Biao's silence, Chen Jin continued to persuade: "The current domestic affairs are just a party issue. The more fierce the competition, the more necessary a clear governing idea is to unify the political parties with a kind of consistent thinking and cognition."  , if it is difficult to establish a new party, if the mainstream factions within the Liberation Party can reach a consensus, they can also be reorganized. The key is to make the Liberation Party rejuvenated and able to unite the aspirations of young people again, rather than sitting on the credit book.  It only pursues the interests of the ruling party."

    Emperor Song Biao nodded to admit this, but at the same time he also felt that it was Chen Jin who wanted to establish a new branch.

    In the existing Liberation Party, Wang Zhaoming and Gu Weijun each have a major faction. Although these two major factions may not and dare not explicitly prevent Chen Jin from ascending to power, they may not be controlled by Chen Jin.

    Especially for Chen Jin, it is the most beneficial situation for him to break away from the influence of these two people and establish a new party, instead of simply relying on the support of the royal family to become a party without a party.Prime Minister with internal control.

    No matter what, Chen Jin¡¯s attitude represents the attitude of a large number of young party members, which means that the split of the Party will be restored sooner or later.

    Although Song Biao did not support such a thing, he also realized that he should still make a choice as soon as possible. In his opinion, the most beneficial political situation for China should be long-term stability and unity at the central level and a certain scale of democratic competition at the local level.  That is to say, the current situation will continue to exist, but the ideological level of the parties will be more modern, and the method of democratic competition will be more open and standardized.

    That night, Song Biao and Chen Jin talked for a long time about the internal issues of the Restoration Party.

    As for how to choose in the future, he doesn¡¯t have a definite answer. Regarding Chen Jin¡¯s opinion, he both agrees with it and has relatively large reservations.

    The case of Li Shucheng was a severe blow to the central cabinet and the Liberation Party, but it would not cause Gu Weijun to lose the election. It can only be said that in local provinces, the Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party will definitely win more seats, including seats in the National Assembly.  The Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party will also occupy more seats.

    This will mean that Gu Weijun may encounter a lot of new troubles during his third cabinet term, and some new bills he wants to pass will suffer more harsh criticism and criticism.

    These are all normal.

    A democratic society has its own rules.

    In fact, in 1940, Emperor Song Biao was very confused about China's political system and democratic system. He did not think that the democratic system was the best system, but for now, there was really no better system than it.  It is just a method, but it still has many shortcomings.

    The national conditions of each country are different. In some countries, its shortcomings are relatively minor, while in other countries, its shortcomings are relatively greater. Generally speaking, the more complex the country, the greater the flaws in the democratic system.

    The Li Shucheng case had the greatest impact on Gu Weijun. He was also forced to adopt more radical reform policies and promised to further strengthen the laws against corruption and illegal associations. During his third term as prime minister, he promised to concentrate all efforts  Crack down on illegal associations.

    Gu Weijun may not necessarily lose the election at the last moment. After all, he still has the support of the emperor. This is why Emperor Song Biao asked Crown Prince Yuhua to personally take charge of the investigation. As the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is directly subordinate to the inner court and the emperor, the case investigation progress is gradually  After the announcement, the relationship between Gu Weijun and Li Shucheng was cleared, and the blame was mainly focused on the issue of illegal associations. For Gu Weijun, it would be very difficult for him to be re-elected as prime minister.

    In today¡¯s human world, the Chinese Empire is a very great country and a very beautiful country, but there are still many problems within it. This is inevitable and indisputable.

    For every imperial prime minister, they always have countless things to do, and each of them will face various challenges.

    Emperor Song Biao and the Central Military Department need Gu Weijun very much at this moment. The empire also needs a very stable central government to ensure military expenditures, as well as the stability of foreign and military policies. This is a fact. Emperor Song Biao does not  He calmly handled the Li Shucheng case for Gu Weijun and continued to give Gu Weijun more support. Prime Minister Gu Weijun could only give enough support to the Central Military Department.

    If the Imperial Army can create an excellent record during the war against the Soviet Union, quickly end this sudden new war, and bring immeasurable brilliant victories and gains to the Empire, Gu Weijun's central cabinet and his personal political reputation,  Opinion polls and support rates will definitely reach new peaks.

    That¡¯s what democracy is like.

    The prime minister¡¯s poll ratings have always been a roller-coaster ride.

    Just when the Li Shucheng case was about to become a thing of the past, but not yet completely over, on October 11, 1940, General Zhao Tingzhu, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Allied Forces, was convinced that this was the best moment. Before the Soviet Red Army  Before a large-scale defense line could be reorganized on the eastern front, and even if all the Imperial Air Force's return reinforcements failed to arrive in time as planned, Zhao Tingzhu commanded the Northern Allied Forces to suddenly launch a rapid attack on the Soviet Union.

    This is a real blitzkrieg.

    In theory, the term Blitzkrieg is still a miracle created by Nazi Germany's Sixth Armored Army. However, Germany is far inferior to the Reichswehr in terms of large-scale mechanization changes and air-ground integration changes, and there is still a certain gap compared to the Empire.

    The strategy formulated by Zhao Tingzhu and Wei Lihuang was also extremely special. They bypassed Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg, which were heavily defended by the Soviet Union. Both places had strong fortress groups that the Soviet Union had spent twenty years building. They stormed the fortresses.  This was not something the Imperial Army was good at, so the Northern Allied Forces attacked directly from the southern front to seize theTake the city of Kostanai, a railway hub in northern Kazakhstan, and use it as a stronghold to continue southward, bypassing Chelyabinsk and the Ural Mountains to attack Orenburg and Atsu in the north of the Caspian Sea, splitting the troops into two groups and advancing towards the area where Sud and Germany are fighting fiercely.  Stalingrad.

    This choice definitely surprised both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, but strategically, it was indeed an excellent and extreme choice. The forty-four mechanical divisions of the Northern Allied Forces were divided into two groups, and the fifth and sixth divisions on the southern line were divided into two groups.  The group army attacked the Soviet rear positions in Stalingrad. The troops on the northern front were the Second Army, which was transferred back from the Korean battlefield and attacked Samara on the upper reaches of the Volga River, paving the way for the continued attack on Kazan.

    Zhao Tingzhu also retained two armies in Kostanai and Omsk to contain the Soviet troops on the Eastern Front. Splitting troops into multiple routes has always been a taboo for military strategists, but Wei Lihuang, who made this strategic plan, had his own views.  In his judgment, the strength of the Soviet Red Army was also more dispersed. While he dispersed his forces to contain the Soviet Red Army, he concentrated the main Second Army and the Fifth Army to directly attack Kazan.

    Once he is allowed to capture Kazan, the Soviet Union's two fronts on the Eastern Front will collapse without a fight.

    These two front armies are fighting around Chelyabinsk, northern Kazakhstan and a large number of fortress groups. It is very difficult to defeat them. The best strategy is to send the main force to go deep alone, forcing the Soviet Union to deploy these two front armies.  Retreat to support Kazan.

    As long as the Soviet Union's two eastern front armies withdraw, the Seventh and Eighth Army Groups commanded by Wei Lihuang can give full play to their speed advantage and annihilate the two front armies in the wild before they return to Kazan. Even if the Soviet Union's  If these two fronts do not withdraw, once the Kazan area is lost, the Soviet Union will be completely cut in half, allowing the Chinese, German and Polish armies to encircle and annihilate each department.

    In the end, the Northern Allied Forces will besiege Kazan with four armies, and use one army to go south to seize control of the Caucasus and the northern Caspian Sea with Nazi Germany. Once the empire seizes the Soviet Union's oil areas in the Volga River Basin, Nazi Germany will  It's like a futile outcome.

    Wei Lihuang is thinking very far. If there is a war between China and Germany in the end, and if this war is still commanded by him and CEO Zhao Tingzhu, he hopes to seize Stalingrad as early as possible and face Nazi Germany across the river.

    The combat plan he proposed was indeed risky, but it was also very smart and based on the long term. Therefore, it received strong support from Commander-in-Chief Zhao Tingzhu from the beginning, and has since been recognized by the Central Military Headquarters and Emperor Song Biao.

    The Soviet Red Army was completely behind schedule in such a major offensive. The Northern Allied Forces advanced to Stalingrad and Samara as fast as lightning. The Great Leap Forward spanned 1,300 kilometers and took only half a month.  time.

    When the Northern Allied Forces arrived on the east bank of Stalingrad, only 60 kilometers away from the Soviet defense line, the Soviet army knew that a group army force from the other side had suddenly attacked. By this time, the city of Samara had been lost.

    At this time, the Soviet Union had the Stalingrad Front, the Don Front, and the Southwest Front in the Stalingrad area, all of which were under the command of Army General Zhukov. Interestingly, this was really the second contest between Zhao Tingzhu and Zhukov, and the two were at this time  All on the front lines.

    In terms of talent, Zhao Tingzhu is definitely not as good as Zhukov, but the cards in Zhao Tingzhu's hand are very good. His two armies with 600,000 troops attacked Zhukov's rear. The two armies were only 60 kilometers apart, and Zhukov didn't know that the opponent was two  Group Army, as for the equipment level and personnel status of these two group armies, Zhukov has no idea at all.

    The fierce battle with the German army in Stalingrad was already very difficult, but suddenly even the Chinese National Defense Forces joined in. How could Zhukov fight this battle?

    Zhukov is indeed a genius commander and strategist in modern warfare. His first reaction was to immediately withdraw the Stalingrad Front and try to join up with the Don Front. This was tantamount to exposing the German position to the Chinese Army. He withdrew first.  Go to join up with the Don Front, and then use three fronts to conduct defensive operations in the Rusbopinkasia area between the Don and Chir rivers.

    In this way, he can effectively use the advantages of the Don River to weaken the advantages of the opponent's armor and tank troops.

    The problem is that it is very difficult for one of his front armies to evacuate quickly from the battlefield. For this reason, he did abandon a lot of baggage. Fortunately, Zhao Tingzhu did not intend to fight Zhukov's three front armies in a decisive battle. His strategy  The goal was to capture the eastern side of Stalingrad, across the river from the Nazi Germans.

    After seizing the position on the east side of Stalingrad, Zhao Tingzhu retained only one group army to cooperate with the German offensive to contain the opponent's three fronts, while the Central Fifth Army served as the main force to cooperate with Huang Baitao's Second Central Army all the way north to attack Kazan. The Soviet Union prepared  Insufficient, the Second Army attacked the city and captured the stronghold all the way. With the support of the Fifth Army,The Japanese army captured Kazan on November 3.

    Strategically speaking, the Imperial Wehrmacht basically completed its strategic mission within a month, but the number of Soviet Red Army destroyed was not very large. For this battle, the result was more important than the process, because the Soviet military industrial center at this time was basically  Concentrated in the Kazan to Samara, and Chelyabinsk to Orenburg areas, while the Soviet Union's war supply resources mainly came from Kazakhstan and the Caucasus.

    ??The battle that seems unexciting is actually the most brilliant decision.

    If the Soviet Red Army does not make major adjustments within a short period of time and does not launch a comprehensive counterattack in the areas occupied by the Imperial Wehrmacht, the Soviet Union's national destiny will come to an end in this war. In about two months, the Soviet Red Army will lose its support.  Materials and supplies were lost and unable to continue fighting the German army.

    If the Soviet Red Army decides to counterattack, it will fall right into the Empire's plan to siege the city and provide reinforcements, because the Empire's mechanized warfare is best at stopping quickly. As long as the opponent's troops begin to mobilize, the Empire can quickly annihilate them.  Cut off, followed by offensive and defensive warfare, encirclement and annihilation warfare.  (To be continued.
