"The sinking of warships is a very normal thing. There are many reasons such as running aground, explosions, aging, improper operation. In short, there are many reasons. Japan has experienced the problem of sinking warships one after another. Many sailors have drowned. I am very sorry. But I think the top priority should be to conduct
Strict internal investigation should be carried out to find the problem, rather than blindly blaming China. The cause of the sinking is still unclear. Even if it sank because of a mine, it cannot be proved that China deployed defenses."
Mr. Zhong Zhao talked eloquently in front of reporters: "I would like to ask you, if you want to drop mines for a naval power like Japan, or at their doorstep, how do you drop mines, how many blocks do you have to go through, and after dropping them, how many obstacles do you have to go through?
How to retreat safely? If there is a problem in one link, it will not be successful. You said that the bird is still a shadow. The Japanese did not grasp anything and exaggerated the threat of China. This is very irresponsible. There is something wrong with their mentality.
!”
Regarding the issue of the sinking of the warship, Fengjun firmly refused to admit it. From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to the military, to the media mouthpieces, everyone came forward to clarify. Fengjun even opened a submarine to the outside world for the first time to allow martial arts schools from various countries to visit.
Of course, what Fengjun showed was only a Yasha-class submarine with limited endurance, and although it was equipped with mines, it only had anchor mines and drifting mines. Obviously, this kind of mines could not have the effect outside Tokyo Bay. Countries have different opinions on whether Fengjun launched a submarine.
There is also a hint of suspicion about the black hand.
Although Feng Jun had sufficient motives, after all, without finding the real murderer, there was no way to determine who did it. Moreover, another theory quietly emerged in society, that this was just a Japanese trick.
When various countries wanted to reach an agreement to control naval armaments, the Japanese took the opportunity to create an explosion. They eliminated a number of old ships in order to replace them. When these true and false news were released, the water suddenly became a little muddled.
There is still a war of words during the day.
Countries are also paying close attention to places such as Lushun and Huludao, which are the home bases of Fengjun submarines. However, they have not found any submarines that have returned from the ocean, so the explosion has become an unsolved case.
Zhu Xingwu and the others quietly returned to Vladivostok. As soon as they landed, all the crew members were under guard. During this period, all their military statuses disappeared, and all relevant files could not be checked at all.
It's as if these people don't exist in the world, and even submarines have been deregistered.
Each of them got a new ID card. Zhu Xingwu became Zhu Han, and so did everyone else. Only when they were finally released did Zhu Han know how many results the mines he threw had.
One warship was sunk and three were damaged, including Japan's first aircraft carrier, the Hosho, which had a large hole blasted on its port side.
This nightmare has been haunting the Japanese Navy for about a year, until after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the earth's magnetic field changed seriously. The few remaining mines were detonated and completely lost their effect. However, by that time, the Japanese no longer had the energy to track down this incident.
Something happened.
Except for this episode, the entire situation is still developing according to Zhang Tinglan's vision. Since taking back Qingdao without any bloodshed, the morale of the Chinese people has risen again. They have taken back the ceded territories, abolished concessions, revised unequal treaties, and completely turned China into a
The calls for a completely independent country are getting louder and louder than ever.
In response to this call, Zhang Tinglan also instructed the New Democratic Party to formulate an election platform, promising to strive to abolish the various privileges of the great powers in China within five years, recover concessions, solve the problem of returning ceded land, abolish spheres of influence, achieve tariff independence, and financial stability.
, strive for the country’s complete independence and unity...
There are so many and so many, and a total of more than a dozen commitments are listed. The scale of the commitments is simply staggering. Although many people in this era are eager to let the country stand up and end the current situation, but when looking at these things to be done, it is also a while.
It has a big head, and everything goes straight to the core of the interests of the great powers in China. Whether it can be done, many people have no idea!
"My humble opinion is that the political platform of this campaign is a bit too much. Although there are calls from the public, if I regard these as a campaign platform, I am worried that it will arouse collective opposition from the powers. Some things can be done secretly.
I'm afraid it's not good to come out and say it!" Cen Chunxuan said with some worry.
As a frontier official of the former Qing Dynasty, Cen Chunxuan had been up and down in the political arena for many years and had a high prestige. He had just arrived in Fengtian recently. Zhang Tinglan also had to maintain enough respect, but when it came to issues of stance, there was not much politeness.
Zhang Tinglan waved his hand and said: "Since we want to engage in parliamentary politics, we should be open and honest, and there is nothing to hide these things. Regardless of whether the powers agree or not, whether they are happy or not, we must take back what we should take back.
This absolutely cannot be changed.”
"I'm not saying I won't take it back, but I don't think it's necessary to put it on the table. I won't make any commitments for the time being. When I take it back, it will certainly be a surprise. Even if it can't be taken back, it won't cause disappointment to the people. Wouldn't it be better?"
Shao Piaoping suddenly spoke from the side: "Mr. Yun, if this kind of thing is announced, we should not only worry about the possible opposition of the powers, but also think about the support of the people, which is also a spur for us. The commander-in-chief has emphasized many times that those in power must first
Serve the people, rather than working for the big powers, without looking at their faces. These goals are actually related to the real interests of the people, and can allow everyone to see the real benefits. If they are announced, our Propaganda Department will be able to fully
Horsepower, win the support of the whole country!"
Listening to the words of Cen Chunxuan and Shao Piaoping, Zhang Tinglan also clearly felt the difference in the way of thinking. Although people like Cen Chunxuan were already considered new school, they still had some habits of the Manchu elders, always looking up to the great powers and taking their attitudes seriously.
We are too heavy-handed and forget that the real great power actually lies in the 40 million Chinese compatriots.
Zhang Tinglan also said with a serious face: "No matter when making any decision, we must consider two issues, one is urgency and the other is importance. Abolition of the layers of shackles on China and the realization of national independence are the most urgent tasks.
Winning the support of the people and bringing together the strength of hundreds of millions of compatriots is much more practical than the illusory support of the great powers."
When Cen Chunxuan heard this, his expression was a little indifferent. Fengjun, a group of arrogant and fierce soldiers, was different from the former Kuomintang and Beiyang. They had carried out in-depth international exchanges with the great powers with real swords and guns, and they had even touched each other one after another.
The two great powers will naturally not be timid.
Wang Yongjiang also laughed and said: "Yun Gong, don't you always say that we need to be civilized and civilized? This politics must first be reformed, and the most important one is to reduce backroom politics. In the past, scholar-bureaucrats always wanted to strategize and win decisively.
Thousands of miles away. But now times have changed. Every decision we make must involve all aspects. One person and two people are no longer enough. Various voices must be introduced, especially the will of the people, in order to formulate reasonable policies.
"
Wang Yongjiang's words were in line with Zhang Tinglan's thoughts. China has had a bad habit since ancient times. It is always believed that matters in temples should be hidden and not let the common people know, for fear of losing the sense of mystery.
But it is precisely this kind of hiding that has caused a lot of troubles, a lot of misunderstandings, even rumors, and opposition between the government and the people. In Zhang Tinglan's view, there is only one most suitable prescription to solve this situation, and that is
Sufficient transparency must be maintained. Any policies and strategies must be fully publicized and made clear to the public. Only in this way can the people and the government stand on the same side.
"Mr. Minyuan is right. We must announce our foreign and domestic affairs to the outside world so that the people know what we want to do and what we are doing. Governments at all levels must also maintain a sufficient degree of openness. If there is no problem, we are not afraid of inspection. If there is a problem,
, what is most needed is inspection and supervision. Everything starts from Fengtian, government affairs are gradually made public, and the implementation of various policies must be clearly announced so that the people can understand it clearly."
After some discussion, the two most important decisions were made. The first one was the New Democratic Party’s campaign promise, which was divided into two major aspects: domestic affairs and foreign affairs. There were a total of 43 small items, which mainly involved issues of people’s livelihood and national independence.
.
Various social demands have been included, and corresponding timetables have been formulated. After being elected, the first thing to be implemented is a comprehensive smoking ban and tariff autonomy.
The harmful effects of opium are well known, but out of the temptation of profit, the domestic emperors planted a large amount of opium, and foreign countries also imported it to China, which made the Chinese people miserable. A complete ban on smoking was in line with the demands of the people.
As for the tariff issue, it touches the lifeblood of industry and commerce. Since tariffs cannot be autonomous, China has basically been a completely liberalized market since the late Qing Dynasty, with tariffs of only 5 to 10 percent. Moreover, because the great powers control customs,
The actual tax will be greatly reduced.
Just like how many people in later generations have criticized China's economy as not being free enough or market-oriented enough, they have forgotten that China was once free and fully integrated into the international market, but this did not bring prosperity to China, nor did it change China's backwardness.
On the contrary, the country has almost fallen into a state of despair.
Without strong industrial advantages, marketization and liberalization just open the door for other countries to plunder. Raising the issue of tariffs immediately captured the most important demands of Chinese industry and commerce. Of course, some compradors are
I won't agree with this policy, but this is already a class that must be eliminated, and Zhang Tinglan has no need to please them.
Another major innovation is the adoption of a government affairs disclosure system, with Fengtian as a pilot project. Administrative agencies at all levels disclose major government affairs, write them on notice boards, and regularly report the latest progress.
Every fund expenditure, every project progress, every policy implementation must be listed so that the people can see and touch it.
With the announcement of these measures, the New Democratic Party's civil influence has skyrocketed, firmly seizing the opportunity for parliamentary elections.
