For Zhang Kangren and Ouyang Geng, the two candidates who are expected to succeed the empire as prime minister for the third term, their task is no longer to stabilize the order of the empire and the smooth transition of dynasties like Tang Shaoyi, but to actively and strictly implement
The spirit of the rule of law, the reform of a new culture, the rise of a new economy, a true revolution of liberation, a stronger new diplomacy, and a more magnificent new construction.
They should be grateful for the precious legacy of smooth transition left by Tang Shaoyi during his tenure, and should also be proactive and seek greater breakthroughs.
In fact, there is another person who is a more suitable candidate, and that is Song Jiaoren, who Song Biao has always favored. However, on the basis that the Liberation Party controls most of the cabinet seats, it is impossible to introduce a Democratic Party candidate for cabinet prime minister.
.
…
In mid-September 1920, during the golden autumn season, Song Biao took a train back to Beijing, but this time he did not return to Zhongnanhai. The Central Palace of the Imperial Court had been completed after ten years of construction, and the central government's annual allocation to the General Administration of the Interior was no more than
Four million Chinese yuan was simply not enough to build the central palace of the imperial court. Almost all expenses depended on donations from business people and citizens, as well as internal allocations from the imperial estate.
The Central Palace was originally located in the Yungang area. Zhang Binglin specially found several Feng Shui masters. Finally, one of them suggested relocating it to Qinglong Lake based on the officially designated "Central Palace". Song Biao later went to see the terrain in person and felt that it was also built.
It is more suitable to locate at the northeastern end of Qinglong Lake. In the name of the inner court, 20,000 acres of land will be purchased in the surrounding area. After paying taxes and converting it into royal building land, the Central Palace will be rebuilt in this area.
There are two chief designers of the Central Palace. One is the famous Russian Jewish designer Rosen, and the other is Lei Tingsheng, the seventh-generation descendant of the Manchu imperial court chief engineer Fang Lei. There are also some other famous domestic designers.
Garden masters, as well as some famous Russian and German designers in China participated.
The basic layout is based on Western-style structures, including palace sewers, shelters and the overall framework from Russia. The matching of architectural styles. The layout of the building, the design of the garden, and the selection of decorations are generally the responsibility of domestic craftsmen. The entire design
The process is very similar to the characteristics of the Old Summer Palace, and many aspects refer to the Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sarah's House.
Considering some special circumstances in the past two years, the Shenwu Emperor Temple was renovated on the basis of the original palace building in Yungang. This is the real first temple. Citizens are allowed to go to this place to worship and offer incense. The Shenwu Emperor Temple
There is no clear religious character, it is the most traditional family ancestral hall layout, where the immortal thrones of the emperor and queen are placed. The royal family also appoints a chamberlain to take charge of management, which can be regarded as a thank you for the blessings of the people.
When the emperor really dies, this will really be the place where everyone comes to worship.
The Central Palace covers a very large area, and the architectural layout is also very grand, with Chinese and Western styles, most of which are relatively typical imperial style. The so-called imperial style has strong characteristics of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and also retains the characteristics of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
The double-eaves verandah roof structure has been preserved from that period.
During the Republic of China, many official buildings had verandah roof structures. The key lies in the double eaves and the number of double eaves. The main hall of the Central Palace is the Huangji Hall. Compared with the Taihe Hall, its verandah roof is steeper and more curved.
The four eaves are obviously flying, but there are three layers of white marble base underneath. The three-story building is equipped with three layers of double eaves.
Therefore, the Huangji Hall is not only larger in scale, but also taller and very magnificent. All of them are made of white marble stone pillars, which to a certain extent refer to the ancient Greek architectural style of the Athens Temple. The entire sculpture style has changed to a more realistic and realistic style.
Modernism and its themes are not just about dragons.
Except for the Huangji Palace, the rest of the place is quite similar to the Xuanzhengyuan period, especially the setting. However, unlike the center of the city deep in Zhongnanhai, the Central Palace is located in a relatively remote place, and the surrounding land belongs to the royal family.
It is a construction land, and outsiders are prohibited from entering this area.
After the entire Fangshan County and Daxing County were merged into Kyoto County, it became a large garden in itself. The Central Military Headquarters is located in the Fangshan New Town area, all the way to the Fenghuang Pavilion area, in the north is the royal garden and palace area, and on the west side of the Yongding River to the new town.
central cabinet government and parliament
Daxing County has been set up as the home of the Imperial University of China, the Central Military Academy, and the University of Science and Technology of China from the beginning, including others.
Some central research institutions, such as the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Central State Bank, the Central Bureau of Foreign Experts, the Central Research Institute for Social Research, the Central Bureau of Political Research, the Central Academy of Sciences, and the Central Academy of Engineering are located here. The State Intelligence Bureau is located on the west bank of the Yongding River, and the Central Academy of Engineering.
The General Bureau of Investigation is across the river, the Central Military Intelligence Department is located in Fenghuang Pavilion, and the Central Bureau of Secrecy is located on the south side of Qinglong Lake. This basically proves that the Central Bureau of Secrecy has the closest relationship with the royal family, while the Central Bureau of Investigation is not subject to the restrictions of the imperial cabinet government.
It took ten years for the central agencies and the imperial court to move to Kyoto County on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the empire, completely getting rid of the restrictions of the inner city of Beijing. This is also good news for Beijing citizens, at least the land prices have dropped.
A lot.
All the central institutions were transferred, which is about 14,000 people. Including wives, children, and children, the total population that was gradually relocated over three years was 40,000 people, while the original residents of Kyoto Prefecture were roughly three years ago.
Just transfer it to other counties.
After such a major adjustment, Kyoto County has become very quiet. Tourists are not allowed to come indiscriminately. 40% of the entire county is not accessible at will. The roads are very spacious, but there are basically not many people.
This is the central political center of this 18.9 million square kilometer Chinese empire. The imperial capital is in Xi'an. Xianning County in Xi'an will be renamed Xijing County. In the future, the entire construction plan will be gradually improved. During war emergencies, if it is necessary to move the capital,
Immediately move from the royal family to Xijing County to avoid chaos during the war.
At this time, Song Biao officially returned to the Central Palace for the first time, and he brought the royal family with him. Before him, the inner court, the central government, and the central military headquarters had all officially moved there.
Compared with Xuanzheng Garden, the Central Palace is definitely more luxurious and splendid.
He also feels at ease. After all, he is not the president of the country and does not live on taxes. The royal family has its own property, which is not stolen or robbed. There is no need for him to make pretentious gestures. He does not need to mend his pajamas again and again, but returns them when he goes out.
Live in palace-like exclusive villas everywhere.
Not necessary.
The layout of the Central Palace is a typical combination of Chinese and Western styles. It is also the first time that a building structure like a castle is used in a Chinese garden. The royal family normally lives and works in the Xuanzheng Palace. This is a very typical office building that combines Chinese and Western styles. The architectural style is very
Especially. It is very similar to a courtyard house, but it is a building-style courtyard house. This is a bit like the characteristics of Buckingham Palace, with a single eaves verandah roof.
After returning to the Central Palace, Song Biaozhen spent a few days adapting to this new residence and palace, and also visited various places, because the gardens of the Central Palace are very unique, almost a collection of Chinese gardens.
The characteristics of the north and south also absorb many characteristics of foreign gardens and classical architecture.
Therefore, the Central Palace has been called the Old Summer Palace of the imperial era since its construction.
very beautiful.
The world of elegance and splendor.
To some extent it symbolizes this era of the empire.
After a few days of adapting to the Central Palace, Song Biao summoned Tang Shaoyi, Ouyang Geng, and Zhang Kangren in the new office. Why he summoned them was because the third cabinet of the empire was officially determined during this period.
Before October, the next prime minister will be elected by the National Assembly.
, and finally approved and confirmed by the emperor. Before December, the prime minister must submit the list of all cabinet ministers. The prime minister must take office in January next year at the latest. In March next year, the prime minister must lead all cabinet members to accept the emperor's first political instruction.
and attending the highest state banquet hosted by the emperor.
As a stable democratic country, this itinerary must be very stable. If one link is messed up, the rest will be messed up.
During the time when Song Biao was in Lushan, Ouyang Geng and Zhang Kangren had been canvassing for votes. They first had to pass the intra-party election, because the election of members of Congress had ended, and the China Restoration Party had 377 members in the Central Congress.
It occupies 284 seats, which is almost enough to amend the constitution.
Song Biao has actually made adjustments and appointed a large number of congressmen from the Democratic Party and other parties. However, the Restoration Party has indeed done a good job under the leadership of Tang Shaoyi. The local support is very strong, including the party's competition in local elections.
The level is indeed higher than other parties.
How influential was the predecessor of the China Democratic Party during the Tongmenghui period? It still relies on Song Biao's balancing strategy to maintain 32 seats. The Reform Association has declined the fastest. It is no surprise that Liang Qichao and the Reform Progressive Party are now. Next
The first-term Minister of Culture and Education will definitely not give him the value of co-governing. Liang Qichao is the only member of parliament.
The problem now is that the number of votes supporting Ouyang Geng and Zhang Kangren within the Liberation Party is almost the same. Zhang Kangren is a typical backbone of the imperial party. He is very good at economic and financial work. It is obvious to all that Ouyang Geng also shines in the field of diplomacy, especially this
On the issue of the Sino-Soviet war, the position was very good.
They and Tang Shaoyi were both young children who studied in the United States. Ouyang Geng also graduated from Yale University, majoring in law, and Zhang Kangren graduated from Columbia Law School, also majoring in law.
The competition is still very fierce.
Because they are almost the same age, both of them are in their sixties. The empire is seeking stability now. As long as the prime minister does not make big mistakes, he can basically serve for two terms. Once the two terms are over, he will be 70 years old. No one can afford to wait.
Can't live
It will still be a problem when you are 70 years old. Even if you live to 70 years old, the following group will actively rush forward. Ouyang Xi, Zhang Jingxu, and Yang Zhaolin are not fuel-efficient lamps. Even Song Jiaoren, Sun Yat-sen, and Liang Qichao are also determined to aspire to the throne.
If we don’t fight now, then when will we fight?
The key is that the emperor has not expressed his position. The palms and backs of both hands are full of flesh, and neither one is willing to give up.
But this issue really cannot be put off any longer.
After returning to the Central Palace and resting and adapting for a few days, Song Biao called all three people into his office that morning and prepared to talk to them. Try to make an internal decision. The current empire is still
Without a very mature democratic mechanism, such an overly fierce election cannot lead to internal strife and division.
After all three people entered the office and bowed, Song Biao asked someone to give them seats. He allowed them to sit at his desk.
Song Biao was not in a hurry to speak. He glanced at them first. Unknowingly, they were already over sixty years old. He thought that when they first met, they were still in their prime and at the peak of their lives.
Middle age.
Time passed by leisurely, and it was fair to everyone. He himself became a middle-aged uncle in a daze.
Thinking of these thoughts, Song Biao couldn't help but lament in his heart, feeling that life is really like a dream in Nanke.
After thinking about this for a moment, he first said to Tang Shaoyi: "The Prime Minister has done a very good job in the past two terms. The people are satisfied, and I am satisfied, but the constitution is like this. The maximum term can be two terms, and the maximum term cannot be more than three terms.
You have to leave office now no matter what."
Tang Shaoyi said: "Ruling the country in accordance with the law, I should obey the provisions of the Constitution. The past ten years have passed by in a daze, thinking about the past, reflecting on the past, and I feel that I am not ashamed. Now that I have resigned from the post of Prime Minister, I don't have too many regrets in my heart.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for his support and funding over the past ten years. I am deeply grateful."
Song Biao was very happy for him to have this attitude and said: "You have worked hard to govern the country for me and have made great achievements. Of course I will fully support you. Although during the Sino-Soviet War, whether you were intentional or unintentional, you were more or less there.
The position of Prime Minister has given me a lot.
Difficulties, but after all, they are all in the past, and I don’t want to mention them again. In a country with a constitutional monarchy, disputes between the monarch and the prime minister are also a manifestation of democracy. Everyone is just doing their duties. Since the matter has passed, there is no need to hold each other accountable.
Responsibility. I am sincere
I am talking to you openly about this matter, and I hope you can understand some of my thoughts. I know that you now attach great importance to the positions of Chairman of the Restoration Party and Speaker of the National Assembly. With your reputation, it is indeed more appropriate.
I have no objection to this, but I hope
You can set a precedent, and it will become a practice from you, that is, after the Prime Minister retires, he will serve as the president of the Central Imperial University. How important education is to China, and how much weight Central Imperial University has to the empire, you and I both know
Very clear."
He was very frank. Looking back on the Sino-Soviet war, Tang Shaoyi's lack of cooperation in certain matters did make him unhappy. However, the Prime Minister also had his own difficulties. After all, a government that continues to fight year after year cannot last long.
Tang Shaoyi didn't want the empire to be defeated, but wanted the empire to stop as soon as it got better.
There is still a hint of punishment, but there is no need to make it clear. Maybe if the third government fails to do its job well, Song Biao will have to ask Tang Shaoyi to come back to save the situation.
Tang Shaoyi also knew these things in his heart, and the principal of Central Imperial University could be considered a very good arrangement.
In the era of the Republic, university presidents were a piece of shit, and cadres at the department and bureau level were as big as sesame. They had no power in their hands, and those who could get along were academic hooligans. The hooligans were real, and the academics were fake.
In this imperial era, many characteristics of traditional Chinese culture are still retained, and there is also the familiar flavor of the Republic of China. If you can be a university president, it is like being a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy or a mountain leader of Yueyang Academy.
, that is also a very incredible social status, especially for Central Imperial University.
When Central Imperial University was founded, Song Biao wrote a school motto for Central Imperial University in his capacity as emperor. This school motto was very famous in the imperial era at this time, that is, "Determined to cultivate one's moral integrity and govern the country, and have a mind for all the people in the world." Aurora University
The school motto is "Gather the elites from all over the world to create all things
Therefore, these two universities also cultivate the most cutting-edge and brilliant talents in the Empire, and Imperial University is more directional, such as Imperial University’s School of Finance and Economics, School of Political Science and Law, and School of Foreign Languages, which can be said to be specifically designed to cultivate the Empire.
First-rate politicians, judges and diplomats.
Imperial University is different from Aurora. Except for historical scores, Imperial University usually does not attach much importance to students' written test scores. Recommendation points, interview points, and written test scores each account for 13. Students who can study at Imperial University are basically public and private high schools and preparatory courses.
The activists among them are young people who are naturally interested in politics and social activities.
Since the emperor's request is to form a routine, not a prime minister, Tang Shaoyi cannot refuse. Moreover, this position should be said to be very enviable. It can be called the mentor of the future elite of the empire, but compared to the chairman of the Restoration Party and the speaker of the National Assembly.
The location is much different.
Tang Shaoyi thought about it in his mind, and replied to Song Biao: "I must live up to the emperor's trust, be a teacher, and teach the essence of the country. This is a great honor for me."
Song Biao thanked him and said: "I am very happy that you can think so. Because your contribution will be difficult for subsequent prime ministers to match. As long as you can set a precedent, everything will be easy to handle in the future. The position of the Central Imperial University
If you don’t have time, you can go to the University of Science and Technology of China and other universities. This is true for the Prime Minister. It is also easier for other cabinet ministers and provincial governors to arrange this. Your social resources are strong. The biggest advantage of being a president is that you can use your political power
Raising funds through prestige is not enough to run education
Rely on the government, especially to run universities. Because the government’s education funds and allocations still need to be more inclined towards compulsory education. Even public universities must absorb as many social donations as possible. Therefore, I very much hope that in this matter
It has formed a social atmosphere and practice. After retiring, high-level officials must take it as their responsibility to actively participate in education and take it as an honor. Even if they go there to gain fame and reputation, as long as they can bring social sponsorship and benefits to the university, we will
Much support.”
Tang Shaoyi sighed, feeling that his life was miserable, but he still replied: "The emperor is wise and powerful, thinking about the long term, and his achievements will last for a long time. I have dedicated my life to it, but I regret that I cannot be loyal to you for a long time."
It's too late to flatter him now. Song Biao really didn't intend for him to lead this trend and pioneer.
After arranging Tang Shaoyi's retreat, Song Biao said to Zhang Kangren and Ouyang Geng: "The following is a matter for the two of you. Since it is an empire with a constitutional monarch, as a monarch, I naturally do not need to appoint any of you as prime minister.
There is no need to interfere. You all know in your heart that no matter who comes to power between you two, it means the same thing to me.
Same. You two are not necessarily the only ones who have performed really well in these two cabinets. As far as I am concerned, Minister of Agriculture Wang Yongjiang, Minister of Industry Zheng Tingxiang, Minister of Transportation Yuan Shikai, and Minister of Land and Resources Song Jiaoren
, Commissioner of Taxation Ouyang Xi, and Minister of Culture and Education Liang Qichao, it can be said that they all did a very good job, but you are on a shining stage, and all the achievements
Everyone has seen his achievements. Wang Yongjiang has offended many people in recent years. Zheng Tingxiang is not yet qualified in the cabinet, so he has not received many nominations within the party. What I want to say to you is very simple. Who
Who comes first is not a very important issue, nor is the position of the prime minister. The key lies in each other's responsibilities. Consider the challenges faced by the next central government
The international pressure faced by the empire is relatively high, diplomacy is more difficult than domestic affairs, the country's territory has expanded, and there are more disputes with foreign countries. It is not only necessary to safeguard national interests and strive for a more relaxed development environment for the empire, but also continue to explore as much as possible
Regarding the interests of the empire overseas, these matters are really not easy, so I suggest that you have internal consultations and that the next prime minister should focus on diplomacy."
When Song Biao said these words, Zhang Kangren was naturally very sad. Zhang Kangren was indispensable for the empire to be what it is today. Zhang Kangren himself felt that the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet of Trust belongs to him, and he was in Tang Shaoyi's position.
Ouyang Geng had always remained neutral in the fight between the Tang Shaoyi faction and the Loyalty to the Emperor faction, while Ouyang Geng had always been a Tang Shaoyi faction before.
Ouyang Geng was happy in his heart, but did not dare to show it. He only said: "Your Majesty, if I serve as Prime Minister, I will visit Europe to re-establish close diplomatic cooperation with Germany. At the same time, we will continue to strengthen the Sino-French alliance and try our best to counter the British and Japanese
During the period of suppression and containment by the Alliance, maintain appropriate peaceful exchanges with the United Kingdom, visit the United States again, and seek support from the United States. In addition, I will send the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs there.
Soviet Russia, maintain trade and commerce between the two countries, and strive to take advantage of the situation of Soviet Russia being blocked by various countries to expand the empire's interests in Soviet Russia. When the empire becomes stronger, continue to consider strengthening the suppression and blockade of Soviet Russia. Above diplomacy, pro-Russia
France and the United States secretly colluded with Germany and Russia, checked and balanced Britain and Japan without causing confrontation, tried their best to protect the empire's interests in the Middle East, Central Asia and Southeast Asia, maintained cooperation with other countries first, and led Asia to counterbalance Britain and Russia later."
Song Biao nodded slightly and asked, "What about internal affairs?"
Ouyang Geng replied without thinking: "There is no other reason but to govern the country according to the law."
Song Biao continued to nod.
It was only in the past two years that Ouyang Geng showed the characteristics of a hardliner in politics. This man himself was also quite powerful and very scheming. When he was the Consul General in San Francisco, the Qing government asked him to refuse approval for Sun Yat-sen to go to the United States. As a result, he
I still forced this matter to be done.
Especially regarding the First World War and the Sino-Soviet War, his tough stance was highly praised by everyone, especially Song Biao. This was also because the empire's strength was rising, and those in charge of diplomatic work must be keenly aware of it.
Countries are showing concessions towards China. If you give in, I will be tough.
Ouyang Geng supported the empire to increase its troop deployment during World War I. He said a very interesting thing at that time. He said, "In the past, we were afraid of everyone we met, just because we were afraid that others would find trouble and bully us. But it is different now. We must let others
If they are afraid of us but not afraid of them, we will have no way to safeguard the interests of the country." His words had a direct impact on the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and basically represented that the imperial diplomacy after 1917 was increasingly becoming hardline in style.
Regarding internal affairs, Ouyang Geng didn't have many thoughts or considerations. But after all, he was an imperial party. He spent a lot of time and opportunities with the emperor, and generally knew the emperor's thoughts.
Now there may not be a war in the empire for twenty years. The transitional period of the previous ten years has also passed. The national power is getting stronger and the military and political stability. The next few central governments will not just engage in transition, stability, and infrastructure, but will
A tougher style must be promoted at the cultural, political, spiritual, and institutional levels of the entire empire, especially the idea advocated by the emperor that "Long Li respects the virtuous as the king, respects the law and loves the people as hegemony" and implements it into practice.
Song Biao thought about it for a while and felt that what Ouyang Geng said was right and too simple, so he asked, "Where should we start?"
Ouyang Geng thought for a while and replied cautiously: "I want to start with the Ministry of Transportation and Customs."
Song Biao immediately approved: "Okay, let's take action."
Yuan Shikai did a very good job in the position of Minister of Transportation, which is obvious to all. The major repairs of the Guangdong-Han, Yellow River, Northern, Xinjiang, Sichuan-Han, Chengtian, Fujian, and Zhejiang-Jiangxi railways were all done during Yuan Shikai's ten years in office.
It can be described as vigorous and resolute, with amazing efficiency.
But after all, Yuan Shikai was an old-style Manchu bureaucrat, and his tactics and behavior were all those of a Manchu court official. It was okay to do things in some places where the logic was illegal. After all, the empire was eager for success at the time, but Yuan Shikai had the
There is a heavy emphasis on power, but things are not done cleanly in many places.
For example, he knows the routes that every railway will pass through, and always arranges for his family and friends to purchase land in advance and make huge profits from it. He has made a lot of money in the past few years, and privately funded newspapers to gain reputation and hot discussion for himself.
You need to rely on this kind of skill to become prime minister.
Yuan Shikai initially joined the New Deal Power Party, but later withdrew on his own initiative. He actually wanted to join the Restoration Party, but failed, so he had to join the Constitutional Party. Zhang Jian had some problems in his first term as Minister of Industry, and he failed in his second term.
Being replaced by Zheng Tingxiang, Yuan Shikai gradually replaced Zhang Jian's position in the Constitutional Party.
Yuan Shikai still had a great influence on the powerful New Deal Congress. He originally hoped to express his loyalty to the emperor and use the joint support of several parties to promote himself as prime minister. However, as the Restoration Party achieved great success in this congressional election,
, this matter can only be left alone.
During this period, some newspapers also commented on Yuan Shikai's personal gain during his tenure as Minister of Transport. Yuan Shikai did not take it seriously, but he only restrained himself in the last few years.
On the other side of the customs was Liang Shiyi. This man was very ambitious. He was in cahoots with Yuan Shikai and did similar things.
Now that the empire's foreign affairs are over, and now it is cleaning up its internal affairs, it is obviously impossible for them to continue to be free. Although Song Biao has not made a clear statement, he hopes in his heart that this matter will not only be investigated, but also investigated rigorously. The Central Bureau of Investigation
Bian Geng has been keeping an eye on it. The "Anti-Corruption Act" previously enacted by the empire is very strict. The current evidence is enough to put these two people in jail for twenty years. It's just that they feel that they are not afraid of trouble because of their high position.
Since Ouyang Geng said this, Song Biao stopped asking more questions and said to Zhang Kangren, "You should decide within your own party to select the prime minister. As for my opinion, you should not tell anyone else, so as not to affect it."
You just need to understand other people's decisions in your own mind. I still say the same thing, don't take the position of Prime Minister too seriously, the empire is the most important."
Having said this, Zhang Kangren and Ouyang Geng both understood what the emperor meant.
No matter who is the fourth prime minister, the third one should let Ouyang Geng, the foreign minister, take office first, and try to deal with the various diplomatic risks currently facing the empire as much as possible, and the rest will be discussed later.
After talking with Tang Shaoyi, Zhang Kangren, and Ouyang Geng for a whole morning, Song Biao basically smoothed the matter over. It was estimated that there would be no surprises later, so he got up and sent the three of them off in person.
After that, when he returned to the office, Song Biao stood in front of the window and felt a lot of emotion.
The world situation is turbulent, and even he may have difficulty figuring out where the world will go in the future. Under the Treaty of Versailles and the Sino-Soviet Armistice Treaty, the arrival of World War II is only a matter of time.
The issue that really worried Song Biao was that an alliance between the Soviet Union and Germany was probably unavoidable, because the relationship between the Sino-French alliance was unlikely to change for a long time. If the Soviet Union and Germany did not form an alliance, it would be impossible for the Soviet Union to counterattack China and for Germany to counterattack Britain and France.
No matter how crazy the leaders of the two countries are and how much they hate each other, they will definitely join forces.
This is really a combination of two dictatorships, and the world will be completely dark.
The Japanese navy and the Soviet army join forces, and the empire is in danger!
At this time, the Chinese Empire is at its peak. Where will it be in the future?
For Song Biao, in addition to military worries, the most important thing he needed to consider was how to ensure that he had a prime minister who was strong enough to support the empire's domestic and foreign affairs and cooperate with him in the war-torn dark age.
The world!
He is 34 years old this year and will be 54 twenty years later. It will be his golden years as the supreme military commander. Where is the prime minister?...)
