After spn returned from the desert, Zhang Shusheng was in a good mood. He successively summoned the Minister of Environment, the Minister of Agriculture, and many senior scientists in agriculture and botany, demanding that we protect the environment and control difficult environmental diseases in various places, and at the same time further increase efforts in agriculture.

Investment in plant research increases farmers’ income from planting.

At the symposium, Zhang Shusheng also specifically requested the comprehensive management of the two major rivers, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Of course, now that the war is still in full swing, military matters are still the most important. On the fifth day after returning to Beijing, a national conference on military industry was held in Hanking. Zhang Shusheng, who rarely attended various conferences, attended in person and made a speech.

The important speech gave high praise to the domestic military production that was in full swing during the war, and required that we pay attention to production, care for workers, increase output, and reduce costs. In terms of existing military technology, each manufacturer must achieve innovation or horizontal expansion as much as possible.

Learn vertically and introduce better technology.

Time soon entered April, and the annual Qingming Festival came again. In order to pay tribute to the martyrs of China and those who contributed or even sacrificed for the rise of the Chinese nation, the Republic of China ordered that the Han Soul Memorial Day be combined with the annual Qingming Festival.

When the festival is combined, important members of the Supreme Power Committee of the Republic will take the lead in paying homage to the Martyrs' Shrine to pay homage to the martyrs.

Early in the morning, He Ning and Lu Yunyan dressed up in black and solemn women's clothing, and also helped Zhang Shusheng put on a straight military uniform. This military uniform without any military rank was what Zhang Shusheng had to wear in every important event.

It has no military rank, but it has always been the standard military uniform of the National Defense Forces in active service. It is not custom-made, but was sewn by the Sun family's wife.[

Located outside Hanjing City and on the bank of the Yangtze River, the Zhongdao Temple has already been crowded with people.

The Martyrs' Shrine, built in 1934, is the highest-level and most extensive Memorial Park to the Martyrs in China to date.

The Martyrs' Shrine covers a huge area and is built with its back to the water. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has excellent scenery. The main peak is Hanling. At the foot of Hanling, which is hundreds of meters high, is the Yangtze River that has been rushing for eternity.

In order to preserve the Martyrs' Shrine as long as possible, a large amount of hard rock including marble is used throughout the park, and special materials are used to solidify in some key places. Coupled with the original special design, under the maintenance of the park management committee, even if it is

In the event of an earthquake, the Chung Martyrs Shrine will not be greatly affected.

The time for the memorial ceremony was 10 a.m., but since about 6 o'clock in the morning, a steady stream of Hanking citizens and invited people who had obtained permission to pay homage came to line up for security inspection.

Three hours later, 100,000 solemn people gathered in the entire Martyr's Shrine Square. In order to keep the entire Martyr's Shrine safe and clean, the mourners did not bring anything with them, only a fiery heart.

At 9:35, the various combat units and air defense combat units of the Guards outside the Martyrs' Shrine entered the highest level of alert. The most advanced tanks, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns were ready to fire at any time. Ground radars and the horizon to the sea

The aircraft were turned on at full power, the third wave of air defense aircraft took off, and the air warning range was extended to the sea. At 9:40, the five formations participating in the memorial parade were finally prepared.

At 9:50, the convoy of the Supreme Power Council arrived at the Martyrs' Shrine.

When Zhang Shusheng and others walked up to the main altar, thundering applause rang out in the square. In every worship event at the Martyrs' Shrine in recent years, the Supreme Power Committee has been personally led by Chairman Zhang Shusheng, plus many

Important officials of the Republic attended together.

In order not to disturb the rest of the heroes and martyrs, Zhang Shusheng specifically stipulated that no one should make loud noises in the Martyrs' Shrine. No matter how high the official position or power is, there is no distinction between high and low status when entering the Martyrs' Shrine, only the status of a representative. Zhang Shusheng represents the Supreme Power Council.

.

"The flag-raising ceremony begins now! Raise the flag and sing the national anthem!"

The process of the memorial ceremony was very simple. When the soldiers of the national flag team carried the golden dragon flag to the flag-raising platform, a thick salute sounded. Due to the addition of several new ethnic groups, 61 salutes roared over the Yangtze River.

, when the national flag slowly rose, Zhang Shusheng and the 100,000 people present sang the national anthem of the Republic together.

Later, Zhang Shusheng made a speech on behalf of the Supreme Power Committee.

"Comrades! Compatriots: Winter has passed and spring has come, and today is the annual Qingming Festival again.

China is a country of etiquette, and Tomb-Sweeping Day has always been a traditional festival for us to pay homage to our ancestors and the loyal souls of China.

Today is the twelfth time we are here to pay homage to our martyrs, to pay homage to those martyrs who have made contributions and sacrifices for the strength and prosperity of the Chinese nation.

In the past two years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our New China has made many major achievements in many aspects such as economy, military, culture, education, and people's livelihood. We must also not forget those martyrs who have made significant contributions to the Chinese nation, from the Yan and Huang periods, along the way.

, our nation has gone through ups and downs to achieve today’s achievements...

Although the war is still going on, on behalf of the Supreme Power Council, I assure you that the country will not neglect economic construction and will continue to carry out educational reform, develop science and culture, reform society, and add new welfare benefits to the people.

Starting this year, our country will formally implement two major policies: the trial measures for the pension system and the trial measures for the social medical insurance system. Combining the power of the "government" and the private sector, we will strive to realize the free education system during the seventh and eighth five-year plans.

, Guangzhou has completed two new systems to benefit the people. Recently, many newspapers and publications have been very concerned about our country’s attitude on the World War II issue. This actually represents the people’s desire to understand the war.[

Currently, the Allied Powers have gathered Japan and the Soviet Union to besiege our country with nearly ten million troops. Although our territory has not been attacked on a large scale yet, the Southeast Asian provinces and the Far East, and even our Beihai Province and Khok Qu Bing Province

, facing attacks from millions of enemies at all times.

War is no longer a period where the outcome of both sides can be determined by just sitting down and talking. This will definitely be a long-term battle. However, as the head of the Republic and chairman of the Supreme Power Council, I am here to tell all the media present today that

One hundred thousand compatriots, as well as Chinese people all over the world, guarantee that we will ensure homeland security, we will ensure people's safety, and we will ensure the continued strength of the Chinese nation.

The war against the Allies will continue, and we will launch a new offensive to win a huge victory to combat the enemy's arrogance. For any enemy, we have only one voice, kill!"

After Zhang Shusheng finished his speech, a small military parade began.

Five military parade formations from the Guards Corps were fully armed, holding steel guns with bayonets, and marched through the Martyrs' Shrine Square. This is also the only small and medium-sized military parade held annually in the Republic.

In the 13 years since its founding, the Republic has held a total of two military parades. Due to various reasons, Zhang Shusheng ordered the cancellation of the military parade on the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Instead, he decided to move the third national military parade to the 15th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

That is June 1948.

The entire celebration ended after two hours, and Zhang Shusheng returned to Hanjing Mountain immediately.

Although it only lasted two hours, Zhang Shusheng's speech at the Tomb Sweeping Day memorial ceremony quickly spread throughout the country. In particular, some senior military and political officials discovered from this speech that the base camp would further expand the scale of the war and would launch a campaign in the near future.

A large-scale campaign aimed at changing the regional battlefield pattern.

Regarding the country's official implementation of the public pension insurance system and the medical reimbursement system, two policies that benefit the country and the people, the whole country suddenly burst into joy. Especially the knowledgeable people and military and political leaders once again confirmed that this "government" is for the people.

"Government", and after the implementation of these two major policies, people's livelihood issues will be further improved.

"Chairman of the Generalissimo, your speech at the Martyrs' Shrine today was very inspiring." Zhou Guolai said excitedly to Zhang Shusheng in the Head of State's Office. "I really didn't expect that the Chairman of the Generalissimo finally made up his mind to implement these two systems during the war. This requires a lot of effort.

courage. But I believe that no

No matter how great the difficulties are, we will definitely implement these two major policies that benefit the country and the people." As soon as Zhang Shusheng returned to the base camp, Zhou Guolai, the General Manager of the Government Affairs Council, Jiang Baili, the Chief of General Staff, and Su Yuren, the Minister of Operations, arrived.

If you move quickly, others will have to wait until later.

"Difficult! No matter how big or small the country's affairs are, they are all difficult. I think back then, when we had to provide free education including students' board and lodging, all the profits of the entire Shusheng Company were always handed over on a scale of n 90%. The most difficult thing is

At that time, the entire southwest military and government agencies' expenditures will have to be reduced to survive.

But in the past 30 years since the beginning of the Southwest, we have basically solved the country's food and clothing problem and achieved free education for all. Although we paid a heavy price, it is worth it.

Zhang Shusheng said with emotion that there are hundreds of millions of people in China, and it would take the country 30 years to solve the problem of free education. Regarding the subsequent pension system and medical reimbursement system, although some mature personal measures have been adopted,

Social and national systems have adopted a systematic approach, but it may take ten or twenty years to see initial results.

"Chairman, the military operations you mentioned, specifically refer to the Far East?" Jiang Baili asked.

"Yes. Now that Southeast Asia is unable to open up the situation, large-scale troop operations are being deployed, and neither our mechanized superiority nor air superiority can have a decisive impact on the war.

As for the Soviet Union, if we launch a general attack on the hinterland of the Soviet Union prematurely, it will inevitably reduce the pressure on the Germans. Now that the European Army is already very strong, solving the Soviet problem prematurely will definitely not be a good thing for us.

Only the Far East is a constant threat to the security of our Far Eastern territory and the Northeast, and it also has the conditions for large-scale mechanization and aerial deployment. Now that Japan has been hit hard, the entire Far East is increasingly dependent on the United States. Once a large-scale campaign is launched,

, the Allied forces' sustained combat capability is bound to decline rapidly.

Now is the time to concentrate our powerful forces and solve the Far East problem in one fell swoop."
