    On the night of September 15, 1936, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, but the square in front of the Prime Minister's Office in Tangshan, Nanjing was still full of surging people.  They held torches, sang the most popular military songs, shouted various slogans, and cheered loudly in front of the Prime Minister's Office.  There was no intention of dispersing for a long time. Some people set off firecrackers and fireworks. The crackling sounds came one after another. The extremely gorgeous fireworks were flying in the night sky, which seemed to make people feel a hint of the heat of the battlefield and seemed to announce a new era.  advent.

    Chang Ruiqing stood in front of the window of the banquet hall on the third floor of the Tangshan Official Residence Building opposite the Prime Minister's Office, watching the scene quietly.  There was the same cheerful and lively scene in the banquet hall. Several rows of long wooden tables were filled with a variety of Chinese and Western cold dishes and snacks, as well as a variety of fine wines, Dutch water, and American Cokes.  A band in military uniforms played cheerful music, and the entire banquet hall was brightly lit.  The leading figures in the capital of the Federation of Greater China, as well as the National Defense Forces from the front line or representatives from various places, stood casually in groups.  They joked with each other in low voices, and the content of the conversation was about everything.  Some generals in military uniforms recounted various anecdotes they encountered on the battlefield - today is a day to celebrate victory, and the content of the conversation should not be too bloody.

    There are also some businessmen in suits and leather shoes with fine cigars in their hands, excitedly discussing the various business opportunities that will be brought about by the "second land reform" and the government's promotion of urbanization - the spoils of this world war are really extremely rich.  So the people who are most excited now are not the soldiers who have made great achievements in battle, but the businessmen represented by the four major chaebols.  Land, resources, world currency, public property sales, large-scale construction in eight major cities, and large-scale construction in Central Asia and Siberia all mean rolling in huge profits!  There are so many places to make a fortune that businessmen can't help but drink happily in the banquet hall while shouting "Long live the Prime Minister."

    But Chang Ruiqing didn't take a second look at these businessmen who smelled of copper.  Although there are many so-called sociologists who study the Three People's Principles or Left People's Principles, they have written articles and pointed them out in the federal newspapers.  If there are no restrictions on the growing consortium, the future Federation of Greater China will most likely become a country controlled by consortiums!  By then, politics may become a money game between financial groups, and ordinary working people will completely lose their voice!  Chang Ruiqing didn't take this statement seriously.  Because he knew that as long as he was alive, the consortium would not be the manipulator behind this country.  As for what will happen after you die?  It is up to the future working people to fight for their rights. They now have a lot of freedoms such as strikes, marches, assemblies, associations, speech, etc., and they also hold votes that can determine the ownership of political power at all levels. If this is still the case,  It is impossible to protect their rights and interests from being invaded by the plutocrats.  Then he, the father of the Greater China Federation, really can't think of any other system that can restrain the plutocrats.  As for establishing a centralized dictatorship and relying on a strong political party to suppress the plutocrats' suggestions to protect civilians and maintain federal unity, Chang Ruiqing has no interest at all.  Who makes him essentially a selfish person?  He is not the kind of great man who is selfless enough to dedicate his children and grandchildren's happy lives to the country and the nation.

    As for Mao Zd, Zhou Elai, Jiang Jisheng and others around him, they all seem to have the same idea, so the topics they are talking about now are still inseparable from referendums and parliamentary votes.

    " Everyone. Now that the world war is basically over, the next big things are two. The first is to distribute the spoils; the second is of course to consolidate the unity of the federation. The distribution of the spoils is the second land reform. I plan to use "Land Reform"  The "Allocation Law" was voted through in the parliament You already know the general policy. The bill to be voted on will make certain modifications based on the plan discussed in private, and will remove the land holding limit.

    When the Land Distribution Law is submitted to parliament for a vote, China will also propose an Agricultural Cooperative Law.  The purpose of this bill is to use the financial resources of the federal government to support an organization called an 'agricultural cooperative' through the Fisheries and Farmers Association and the Ministry of Agriculture. This organization will integrate community autonomy, agricultural production, agricultural product sales and other functions.  Specific provisions will be put in writing and sent to the central parties of each political party and federal senators and legislators before the bill is submitted to parliament.

    In addition, Saionji Gongwang also proposed a "Federal Unification Act" on behalf of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association.  The main content is to promote the unification and integration of the Greater China Federation, so that the various republics and kingdoms that are currently the subjects of the federation can have a final and complete way to integrate into one.  To put it simply, it means to abolish the various republics and kingdoms and make each provincial administrative region directly under the federal government.  In the future, the administrative system of our Federation of Greater China will no longer have a country, but only four levels: federal-provincial, provincial-level city-district, county-township.  There may also be some autonomous communities in rural areas, the main form of which is agricultural cooperatives.  "

      Chang Ruiqing looked around at the people around him as he spoke. His expression was calm and he seemed to have full confidence in the passage of these three bills that are related to the economic take-off and political stability of the Greater China Federation.  As soon as he finished speaking, the Chairman of the Kuomintang, Jiang Jisheng, sighed slightly.  He frowned and said: "Prime Minister, our Kuomintang has always fully supported the Land Distribution Law. The Federation can obtain land in Central Asia and Siberia. In the final analysis, it is the result of the joint efforts of all the Federation's military and civilians. The fruits of victory should also be shared by the Federation's military and civilians. As for the Federation's military and civilians,  There is no problem for the Federal Unification Act to be passed by the Senate and the Senate of the Federal Parliament. However, there may be some objections from the Republic of Indochina, the Republic of Myanmar, the Kingdom of Siam and the Republic of Malay, right? In addition, the Philippines, East India, and Japan  , South Korea has not legally joined the federation, so it might not be appropriate to directly turn it into a province, right?"

    "There is no problem at all in Japan. The Japanese in East India will also agree to join the federation as a province." Chang Ruiqing showed a smile that could be called confident, waved his hand and said: "The Federal Unification Act is originally  How could the Republic of Japan not support the proposal made by Saionji Konobo? Besides, the Federal Unification Act does not immediately turn those republics and kingdoms into federal provinces. There is still a referendum procedure. Saionji Konobo proposed that it is not necessary.  When it comes to the referendum on joining the federation of the Republic of Japan, the referendum on joining the federation of the four provinces of Kyushu, Honshu, Hokkai, and Shikoku can be directly proposed. The referendum on the "Land Distribution Act" can be linked to the referendum on joining the federation, and it will be 100% passable.  "

    Jiang Jishi smiled slightly, and couldn't help but admire Chang Ruiqing in his heart. In the past, in the eyes of the Kuomintang people, Japan, the enemy, was so powerful that it was invincible, but now Chang Ruiqing beat him to his knees.  If you want them to be round, they will be round; if you want them to be flat, they will be flat.

    "What about the other republics and kingdoms? How to deal with them?" Although Mao Zd heard something about the "Federal Unification Act", he did not know too many details.

    Chang Ruiqing said: "We, the Republic of China, are also going to hold a referendum on integrating into the federation. The Republic of China was originally a virtual federal subject, and now it has been revoked together with the Republic of Japan. In addition, the Republic of the Far East has also been revoked. This also gives the Japanese a  Just go down the steps. As for the other republics and kingdoms in the federation, it depends on the situation. If there is no guarantee that it will pass, do not immediately hold a referendum on integrating into the federation, and temporarily retain their qualifications as federal subjects. "

    "In this case, our Kuomintang can also support the "Federal Unification Law."" Jiang Jishi nodded, and frowned slightly: "But what is the "Agricultural Cooperative Law"? Does your party want to do it in China?  Agricultural collectivization? If that is the case, our Kuomintang cannot support it!" As he said that, he turned his attention to Mao Zd and Zhou Elai. He knew that many high-level officials in China would never forget to go to Soviet Russia.  In terms of the model, even if Soviet Russia has perished, the surviving Russians have completely abandoned the Soviet method.

    Mao Zd and Zhou Elai both smiled at the same time. Zhou Elai explained: "Jie Gong, you guessed it right. We want to pilot collectivization in rural areas, but it is definitely not the kind of collectivization in the Soviet Union and India. , but collectivization with Chinese characteristics. The basis of our collectivization is family farms, and the per capita cultivated land area under agricultural cooperatives is as high as 20 acres. Moreover, the land of farmers participating in agricultural cooperatives is also privately owned. The main purpose of our agricultural cooperative is The function is still to serve farmers and help them develop traditional small-scale farming into large-scale agriculture with certain scale benefits. Our party believes that this model is also a feasible way out for the development of my country's agriculture"

    Chang Ruiqing just looked at Jiang Jishi, Mao Zd and Zhou Elai, who were discussing the "Agricultural Cooperative Law", with a somewhat complicated expression.  These three important figures in the current Chinese political arena would never have imagined that in another time and space, they would be discussing state affairs with guns and cannons, right?  The current method of using referendums and parliamentary votes to form the government and formulate major national policies is probably one of the most valuable assets he has left to China after participating in this era. Its value is not even more than 20 million square meters.  kilometers of territorial expansion.

    ¡°And in his view, this political line not only benefits the country and the people, but is also very beneficial to him and top Chinese politicians like Mao, Chiang, and Zhou.  Because politicians have become a very safe profession in China, and the rules of the game where success is king and failure is king, and power is king, power is king have become a thing of the past!

    Not only that, with the cloak of democratic elections, family politics is not only possible, but can also be done openly and openly.  For example, Chiang Kai-shek's eldest son, Major Chiang Ching-kuo, who serves as destroyer captain in the Nanyang Fleet of the National Defense Force, has recently submitted his discharge report and is preparing to participate in the election of the Federal Political Councilor in the Republic of Korea with the support of the Kuomintang, officially entering the political arena.  In a few more years, Chang Ruiqing's second son Chang Zuocheng, and Mao Zd's eldest son Mao Anying will also enter the political arena and will take over from me in the future.  Oh, by the way, Zhou Elai also has two sons in this time and space. Like Zhou Bing and Zhou Bingwen, he will be active on the Chinese political stage sooner or later
