    Song Ziwen answered of course: "Since it is an enlargement of the federal province model, there is no need for the federal province to exist. Of course, this regional whole needs to be disbanded. There cannot be a small federation under the big federal system." Zhao Zeyong  He smiled and shook his head. He was still too young. With such political wisdom, no wonder he couldn't defeat Jiang Xiashi.  Wang Jingwei's political prestige was very high, and He Yingqin's military strength was very strong, but they were no match for Jiang Xiashi. Their intelligence was too low.  Disbanding the federated provinces is all conceivable. Once the federated provinces are dissolved, once the federal system fails again, there will be no way out. Idealists do things regardless of the cost.  "The federal provincial system has been in operation for so many years. It cannot be disbanded so easily. Once it is disbanded, it will be very troublesome." Song Ziwen suddenly looked disappointed. Maybe he felt that Zhao Zeyong was no different from other warlords and was unwilling to give up his power.  This is completely making excuses. Feng Yuxiang is not willing to give up his army, let alone his territory.  Not to mention Yan Xishan.  Everyone is like this, and all high-level figures are like this. When will the people get democracy and freedom?  Song Ziwen said coldly: "Then Governor, what you mean is that the federal system will not work." Zhao Zeyong sighed: "Well, that's not the case. If you don't try it, how do you know it won't work." Song Ziwen didn't understand: "If it is implemented  How can a federal system exist when it is a federation of provinces, independent of the federation? Isn¡¯t this splitting the country?¡± Zhao Zeyong laughed: ¡°Have you never heard of one country, two systems?¡± ¡°One country, two systems¡± Song Ziwen was completely confused!  .  Zhao Benshan said: Whoever heard this was confused.  Zhao Zeyong explained: "We might as well change to an example you are familiar with, just like the German model." Song Ziwen's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean the unified model of the Second German Empire? The federal provinces are like the Kingdom of Bavaria." One country, two systems is China  People brought it up.  But it is limited to this name, and as a fact, this system has already appeared.  In 1870.  Prussia defeated France and unified the German Empire. Many states retained a large number of privileges when they joined the empire with the King of Prussia as emperor.  Bavaria is the state that retains the most power. Its royal family continues to exercise power as the King of Bavaria. Bavaria even retains its own army and has the power to station diplomatic envoys abroad.  Even the military and diplomatic powers are retained, which is quite autonomous.  It will be more independent than Hong Kong's return.  Song Ziwen obviously never thought that China could also adopt this system.  Zhao Zeyong came from a later generation, and was certainly more knowledgeable than Song Ziwen. He knew that in a big country like China, a new system was suddenly designed, a system that had never been seen before, except by the use of force.  For example, violent revolution and the like, accompanied by a lot of bloodshed, will completely eliminate the opponents or attack them completely without the ability to resist, otherwise there will be no way to implement it.  At this time, the Republic of China obviously did not have such conditions. The warlord regime did not completely eliminate the warlords one by one, so it rashly implemented a system.  For example, if it causes dissatisfaction among those with different opinions, if a democratic system is exercised, then force cannot be used, and consensus can only be reached through consultation and negotiation based on the principle of voluntariness.  If violence is used, even if the final claim is to establish a democratic regime.  It¡¯s just self-deception.  Zhao Zeyong does not want China to have to go through such a violent revolution before it can be completely baptized into new life.  It is truly a blessing for the nation to be able to gradually move toward modernity in a civilized and peaceful way without bloodshed. The British have always talked about their social changes in 1688. Isn¡¯t it because it was a consensus reached by compromise between various factions? Even the British  It was called the Glorious Revolution, and the world also regarded it as a model of democracy.  Looking back at Chinese history, we have too many opportunities. The Revolution of 1911 overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  At that time, Sun Yat-sen was extremely excited, claiming that China was entering a period of great construction and would build a hundred Shanghais.  Lenin¡¯s evaluation to him was that one hundred Shanghais could not be built, and only through revolution could one hundred Shanghais be built.  The facts came according to Lenin's statement. Lao Sun launched a second revolution, launched a revolution to protect the law, launched a revolution to protect the country, and carried out revolutions one after another. It was not until the Northern Expedition that he finally defeated the Beiyang warlords.  But as for time, China has been in turmoil since 1912, and production has retreated significantly compared to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  By the time Jiang Jieshi defeated the other warlords and was finally able to implement some policies and start construction in China, it was already too late. The Japanese came over.  Just imagine, if there had not been so much intrigue since 1911, and Sun Yat-sen had let Yuan Shikai take power, even if Lao Yuan had done nothing and remained stable for ten years, China would have been able to at least return to the level of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, or Sun Yat-sen might as well have continued the revolution.  In the end, it would be much better to not let Yuan Shikai come to power, directly violently overthrow the Manchu and Qing bastard Yuan Shikai, and take power by himself.  But at that time, Sun Yat-sen did not believe that he had enough strength, and Yuan Shikai's political wisdom was higher than that of Lao Sun, and he successfully stole power, but Lao Sun did notSatisfied, China entered the chaotic times of the Republic of China for decades.  Now the Northern Expedition has been successful, but according to the inertial development of history, the war still has to be fought.  In the past, in order to reduce the vassal power and centralize power, Jiang Xiashi launched the Chiang-Gui War, the Chiang-Feng War, and finally led to the Central Plains War, which lasted until 1929.  The war just stopped, but within two years of peace, the Japanese entered Northeast China and launched the September 18th Incident.  The next year, Shanghai was attacked again, and there was the 128 Songhu Anti-Japanese War.  Then came the continuous suppression of communism.  1935 Great Wall War of Resistance.  All-out war of resistance began in 1937.  There is almost no time for systematic and scientific planning and construction.  This is why after the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, steel production was not as good as during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.  In this era, Chiang Kai-shek was not the strongest, but the federated provinces were the strongest. However, if the federated provinces fell into Chiang Kai-shek's old path, in order to pacify the localities and transfer power to the central government, they began to eliminate warlords one by one. First, the central government of Chiang Kai-shek  Army, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Sui Army, and Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army. Even if the combined provincial army's combat effectiveness is the best in China, how long will it take to eliminate one or two million opponents?  How long will it take to defeat these troops and stabilize and rebuild the place? This does not include the damage caused to the place and the damage caused to lives by the war.  Zhao Zeyong does not want to follow this old path, so he is willing to use common sense to give local governments more power.  Song Ziwen obviously never thought about unifying China in this way. Although he has been in the United States for a long time, he is still a Chinese. Neither China nor the United States has multiple systems in one country, because this special case is  It appears because of specific historical circumstances.  The reason why China in later generations has one country, two systems is because different regions of the country have implemented different systems for too long, each has formed its own tradition, and the conditions for forced unification are not allowed.  The reason why the Germans tolerate different systems is also because they have been divided for too long and have to make expedient measures in order to unify. This is the consequence of democratic compromise.  It was not until the Germans failed in World War I that the Bavarian royal family lost power, and then after the failure of World War II, Bavaria completely became an ordinary state in Germany.  The current situation is that the joint-provincial model has been operating for many years and is beginning to show certain advantages. The country has just been unified, and it is nominally unified. No one is sure whether it is appropriate to forcibly promote the joint-provincial model.  In addition, there must be many people who will not agree to do this because it will damage their power.  Therefore, Zhao Zeyong would rather choose that the federal province, as China's Bavaria, temporarily maintains certain privileges as a buffer. Once China's federal system fails, there will still be a federal province to support the last democratic position.  Of course, it cannot but be said that Zhao Zeyong has no selfish motives. After all, he has devoted so much effort to the United Provinces, and he does not want the United Provinces to take too many risks.  "Yes, that's what I imagined. What do you think?" The so-called "one country, two systems" was also Zhao Zeyong's last-minute idea, and it may not be feasible, so he treated Song Ziwen in a consultative tone.  Song Ziwen's expression changed. It was obvious that he was tempted, but he also had concerns.  "The United Provinces can be Bavaria, but what about the other warlords, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and even Zhang Xueliang? How should we treat them?" Zhao Zeyong smiled and said: "The United Provinces can be Bavaria, and they can also be Bavaria. The United Provinces have  They are also allowed to have equal status and everyone is equal. Isn't this the true meaning of democracy? " Song Ziwen frowned slightly. If that were the case, China's federal system would be a bit unfair, and it would be equivalent to giving it to Feng Yuxiang and others.  Warlords segregated local areas on a legal basis.  In that case, China's national political form is really, really weird, and I'm afraid this will never happen in the world.  But this method also has advantages. At least it is less destructive. It first allows local separatism, then negotiates and compromises, and finally slowly completes substantial unification. It is much less damaging and more civilized than directly launching a war.  It's just a little time consuming.  Song Ziwen sighed: "Then we wait for reunification, I'm afraid it will take many years." Zhao Zeyong smiled: "Stability is more important than anything else, peace is more important than everything else, for these, even if we can't see the reunification of the motherland in this life, it is still worth it." Song Ziwen  He said: "Cultivating democratic ideas first is more important than anything else. If our people learn democratic and rational solutions in the future, maybe they will finally be able to have wisdom and peaceful reunification." Zhao Zeyong: "Maybe not, maybe in the end we will still be able to  We will unify the country through violence. After all, we have been carrying out this tradition for thousands of years." Song Ziwen suddenly said firmly: "But it's worth a try, isn't it?" Song Ziwen seemed to be firm, but he was actually asking Zhao Zeyong for his opinion.  We need to get affirmation from Zhao Zeyong.  Zhao Zeyong said: "It's worth a try!" ps: One big chapter was split into two chapters. Please forgive me. I was delayed for two days on my way home and I really didn't save the manuscript.  Well, if I struggle this week, it may explode next week.
