After four hours of vote counting, the vote result was announced that afternoon, and more than two-thirds of the votes favored the passage of a motion to change the national honor system** (Another noise broke out in the venue, and some emotional opposition MPs jumped up, claiming that this was the beginning of a "destruction of the republic". They also blindly accused the MPs who voted for the votes of the consent for the restoration and were not worthy of serving as MPs of the Republic at all.

No matter how much trouble, no one can question the legitimacy of the Congressional vote. The minority obeys most of the Congress’s most basic rules. If you want to oppose or question it, it means provoking the Congressional system. As a member of Congress, you will naturally not be incomparable to the Congressional system. In the end, this matter can only enter normal procedures and the central government will start to implement the bill.

By November 22, it took only less than two days before the Nanjing Presidential Palace promulgated a detailed title system. After all, the title system has been in China for thousands of years. What texts, etiquette and rules are all ready-made. Moreover, the medal system of the Republic of China has been strictly referenced, and almost just a few words can be modified.

The merit system promulgated by Yuan Shikai took great care of the former Qing aristocrats to a great extent. Therefore, it can be said that the merit system was actually a rank system after the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. Although it had a bit feudal influence on people, it was something passed down from Chinese civilization, and from a cultural perspective, it was suitable for the Republic of China.

According to the title system, the previous great title originally corresponded to the prince's level, but because the "prince" was obviously too explicit, it was modified to "first-class duke". The reference is that the "big duke" among the British titles who receive the first-class duke will symbolically give the title prefixed with the regional name, which is the so-called fiefdom in the traditional way, such as the Duke of Luoyang, the Duke of Nanjing, the Duke of Yuhuatai, etc. However, all of this is symbolic and does not mean that the fiefdom can be truly exercised.

Only first-class dukes have such prefixes to show the difference between the title level and the ordinary dukes.

Xun Yi was modified to "Second Class Duke", of course, this is just an official word, and he is usually called "Duke".

The second one of Xun was modified to "marquis", the third one of Xun was modified to "elephant", the fourth one of Xun was modified to "viscount", and the fourth one of Xun was modified to "baron". This is the sixth-class title. The treatment they enjoyed was apart from the distribution of ribbons, medals, dresses, walking sticks, and annual symbolic bonuses, etc., and everything else was just a form, and there was no real privilege to title.

As for the persons who have been awarded before, the Presidential Palace Medals Administration will send people to contact each other to exchange the corresponding title rewards one by one, and publish an announcement in the newspaper.

News about the reform of the honor system of the Republic of China quickly spread, but it did not cause any sensation or attention in the imagination.

The common people are almost unwilling to care about these things. Most of the people who stand up to complain and give advice are tricky intellectuals, and the number of people is not large at all, and the reaction is not fierce at all.

The whole thing passed like this. In contrast, the people were concerned about the news of war, even though Wu Shaoting vigorously advocated the popularization of education since he was in power, most of the grassroots people in the Republic of China are still illiterate, so what is easy to attract them is some simple things, if they win or fail, and then consider their impact on themselves.

The restructuring of honors seems calm on the surface, but in fact, it has left a heavy handwriting in the minds of a considerable number of bureaucrats. No matter what the significance of this restructuring of honors or what the real intention behind the scenes is, in short, everything will never be groundless, whether it is the Germans or the head of state, this is just the beginning.

Regarding the precedent and subsequent events of this Congressional motion, the Secret Service had already recorded the details and handed it over to the CIA Analysis Section for a series of inventory and analysis. Soon a summary report was sent to the head of the Kunming camp.

After reading this report, Wu Shaoting fell into a long and meditative state. He did not expect that so many people in Congress would support the restructuring of honors. Although the reasons for these people seemed serious and had no ill-belief, he was not a fool. If these young men in decades could get into the place where old fry gathered, they would naturally have the minimum political gaze, and they could see through the meaning behind the scenes of the restructuring of honors.

The person who sent this report was Wang Changling. After Wu Shaoting finished reading it, he stepped forward and asked: "First of the People's Republic of China, what are you going to do next?"

Wu Shaoting sighed slightly and said calmly: "This matter will be the case for the time being, but those members of the parliament who have objections in the parliament should keep a close eye on it. This is not a big deal, but once some conspiracy villains add a little more, it will become a troublesome at that time."

Wang Changling nodded and said, "I have already explained everything, and the Secret Service and the Political Supervision Department will follow up."

Wu Shaoting immediately asked: "Let you investigate what the hell is the Germans doing, but what progress is there?"

Wang Changling sighed helplessly and said without hesitation: "First of the People's Republic of China, these Germans really make people confused about their activities in private and never cover up, but many people just follow the instructions, and even they themselves don't know the purpose."

Wu Shaoting frowned slightly. Those German consultants were experts and talents, so they naturally would not spontaneously interfere with political activities. There must be a higher level who gave them instructions and asked directly: "Who is instructing them?"

Wang Changling said: "The organization I have tracked down at the moment is the German advisory group. It is strange that when our people test their background, the management of this organization has almost no concealment. They directly told that the order they accepted was an order issued by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and that it had no relationship with the embassy. Not only that, when asked why they were doing this, they also directly replied that it was to abide by the second subsidiary treaty of economic aid to China and help us in social transformation in China."

Wu Shaoting's face immediately became impatient, and he said coldly: "After talking, it's still some nonsense."

Wang Changling said helplessly: "It is true, it is equivalent to going around in a circle, but I found that the Germans seem to be very serious about this matter, and in some aspects, they do not even hide their direction of action, which is worth noting."

Wu Shaoting's main consideration is what the Germans are behind the scenes. As for how they do it, these are things that can be easily discovered. Moreover, he knows that the German nation is a scheming and adhering to the rules, even if it is the same after decades, so some things are not as difficult to understand as imagined.

"Anyway, they have the first time, the second time, and there will definitely be a third time. They were just some irrelevant small movements before, but sooner or later they will come seriously."

"Head of the People's Republic of China, what do you mean is that we must pay close attention?" Wang Changling asked.

"You haven't seen any effect in the past month. Do you really expect the Germans to reveal any flaws? They regard transforming our Chinese social system as a diplomatic task. When we signed the aid plan contract, we also agreed to their actions. So for them, everything we have done now can be natural and let it go. The more this happens, the harder we can predict in advance." Wu Shaoting said seriously in a tone.

"What should we do?" Wang Changling looked a little worried.

"There is no choice but to wait for their next step. However, if the Germans continue to do this, they will sooner or later make China a big mess. It is the most urgent thing to end this world war soon. After we get the benefits we deserve as a victorious country, we can start preparing to draw a clear boundary with Germany." Wu Shaoting said with a firm expression that since he wants to make China a world power, it is naturally impossible to be a younger brother to others forever. Even if there will be no conflicts with Germany in terms of interests, he does not want political or diplomatic unhappiness to occur.

Both of them were profitable in World War I, so they hit it off. But after the war, European affairs were managed by Europeans, and Asian affairs were taken care of by Asia. Everyone was soaked in water and did not violate the river. As for the foreign debts borrowed by China, they would naturally repay them according to the prescribed date. Of course, if it was purely "aid", it would be another matter.

Wang Changling nodded slowly, but did not say much about this international political relationship, and it was not his turn as the director of the War Situation Bureau to interfere. All he could do was to do was to destroy information and monitor surveillance, and he was just orderly to do it.

After pausing for a moment, Wu Shaoting glanced at Wang Changling and said, "Things are done first. Don't follow the Germans. I guess there will be no result. The key is to be optimistic about the movements in China. Some tricky people take the opportunity to cause trouble. I don't want to be thrown into sewage for no reason."

Wang Changling replied solemnly: "I know what to do."
