November 5, 1939, can be said to be a holiday all over the world. This huge monster that had threatened Europe and Asia for 22 years finally collapsed.
During these 22 years, under its rule, it is conservatively estimated that at least 15 million people died of starvation (the "surplus grain" collection system in Lenin's era and the Ukrainian Great Famine in Stalin's era), and at least 20 million people died in massacres (
"Repression" in the Lenin era and "purges" in the Stalin era), at least 14 million to 17 million people were imprisoned and exiled, and countless people lived on the death line of terror and starvation for a long time. - This monster's "achievements"
”, which later Nazi Germany could not match.
Lenin is dead, and everything will stop after death. Moreover, Lenin, like Hitler, was the kind of extreme and idealistic person. In order to realize what he thought was a correct political ideal, he would not hesitate to use the bones of tens of millions of people to pile up. Maybe it was a
There must be a subconscious sympathy for each other. Under Hitler's instructions, the German army only entered Lenin's tomb, removed Lenin's body from the crystal coffin, cremated it, and then scattered the ashes into the Baltic Sea. Many Russian farmers who poured into the city thought
The desire to see the coffins and kill the corpses was not realized.
Now, the bigger culprit, Joseph Stalin, is still at large. However, as the snares on the east and west sides continue to tighten, and winter is coming, this man will not be free for too long. It is conceivable that he was not captured by one of the parties
, that is, he starved to death in the snowy wilderness of Russia. Even if he escaped from the trap by chance, he would not be able to find any refuge overseas. Stalin is already the most wanted criminal at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, and the Soviet Union due to its unique ideology and
After long-term isolation, no country in the world showed sympathy for the collapse of the Soviet Union, and no country was stupid enough to risk the world's disapproval to harbor such a public enemy of mankind.
Even if Stalin wanted to remain anonymous and escape to a corner of the earth to spend the rest of his life secretly, it would be impossible. He could only speak Russian and Georgian, and his appearance was very easy to recognize. His portraits and statues are everywhere
The entire Soviet Union, spread over half of the Eurasian continent. This huge project of personality worship that he personally built has now become a dragnet to hunt down himself. It turns out that every picture is used as an idol.
The worshiped portrait has now become a wanted photo. If there is such a thing as "making a cocoon to bind oneself," then this is it. And it is the largest scale of "self-binding" in history, at home and abroad, unprecedented.
Germany widely distributed arrest warrants for Stalin to the troops and people in the controlled areas. There were nine portraits of Stalin on the warrants. They were Stalin in normal condition, Stalin with shaved beard, and Stalin with beard.
Stalin wearing glasses, Stalin wearing sunglasses, Stalin wearing a mask, Stalin shaving his head, Stalin getting thinner, Stalin getting fatter. In short, all possible disguise effects are depicted on the wanted poster.
Under these nine portraits, several words were printed eye-catchingly: Be wary of these faces! Once discovered, report immediately! Anyone who harbors an enemy will be shot on the spot!
The next few lines of small print were a bit more toned down, describing Stalin's basic characteristics and promising that anyone who could help capture Stalin would receive a bonus of 50,000 marks and be personally interviewed by the head of state.
On the other side of the continent, the Ming Dynasty was no ambiguity either. The wanted notices for Stalin were also widely distributed on this side of the Ural Mountains. They were the same as those in Germany, with several portraits of Stalin printed on them. But they were not as ruthless as those in Germany.
He did not directly say that he would be punished by death for covering up, but only that he would "bear extremely serious criminal responsibility." He also did not promise to say who would receive an interview if he caught Stalin, but the bonus was much higher than that in Germany, which was 50,000 Mingyang.
.1 Mingyang can be exchanged for 1.75 marks, and this bounty is equivalent to 1.75 times that of Germany. This is also easy to understand, because under Stalin's rule, the Soviet army invaded the Ming Dynasty, carried out massacres in the two frontiers and Gansu, and created famine
, Daming is the direct victim.
Ten days later, on November 15, the Ming royal family and the government jointly announced that the state of war was now lifted across the country. The "state of war" that had lasted for nearly four years was finally lifted.
This day is a festival for the entire Ming Dynasty. People’s joy is much greater than the demise of the Soviet Union ten days ago. No matter how bad the Soviet Union is, no matter how it is not a thing, it is a matter on the other side of the continent after all. The lifting of the state of war is an official sign
With comprehensive peace coming to the Ming Dynasty, my whole family can enjoy peace. My sons, husbands, and brothers no longer have to risk death and missing arms and legs to fight in wars. To end the state of war, the Ming Dynasty will definitely have large-scale disarmament.
.Countless families who have been separated for several years will soon be reunited.
The low standard of living that has lasted for several years will soon come to an end. Gasoline and kerosene no longer need to be rationed, and the prices of various daily necessities will soon come down. Retail sales were seriously affected during the war.
The industry and entertainment industry will soon prosper again. The high taxes that have lasted for several years will now come down. Countless factories that were requisitioned to produce military supplies during the war have now completed their missions and can resume production for civilian life.
supplies. And the heavy industrial production capacity of the Ming Empire, which rapidly expanded during the war, will soon be converted to the production of civilian supplies, such as cars, sewing machines, bicycles, buses, tractors, harvesters... as the war ends.
The most important thing is that the huge demand driven by the war will not languish with the end of the war, and people will not return to the depressed life before the war. There are large areas in the north, northeast, and northwest that are in urgent need of construction.
The vast land is a huge market that has never been seen before. For an entire era in the future, the word "unemployment" will disappear without a trace in the dictionary.
Everyone understands that for a long time after the war, people's living standards will rise at a geometric rate.
In the afternoon of that day, a "power handover ceremony" was held in the Forbidden City. Chief Minister Shen Rongxuan led all cabinet members to the palace to meet with Her Majesty the Queen. Queen Zhu Yourong solemnly handed an edict to Shen Rongxuan. Shen Rongxuan took it with both hands respectfully,
Raise above your head.
In this edict, the Queen delegated the power to mobilize the army and navy of the Ming Dynasty to the cabinet. This symbolized the end of the "extraordinary period" in which the emperor controlled the army, and the Ming Dynasty returned to the normal state of "the government controlling the army" and "nationalizing the army."
However, what is very intriguing is that the edict only mentions the "Army and Navy" and does not mention the People's Guard. Although the People's Guard has only more than 200,000 people, it is the most elite force in the Ming army, and there are five divisions stationed there.
Near Nanjing, it has the same strength as the Army's capital garrison. The cabinet did not mention it, nor did the Queen or Xiang Xiaoqiang. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about it.
The press quickly made speculations. Some said that the royal family was obsessed with power, but the mainstream view was that the era of universal suffrage in the Ming Dynasty was about to begin, and there would be many variables. What would a cabinet or a political party that controls all the military have in mind, and what might it do? , no one can say. This is probably a safeguard measure of the royal family, before the party rotation system becomes a tradition, to ensure that the royal family can become a force of checks and balances. It is also generally believed that this is a tacit agreement reached by the royal family and the cabinet: I put The main military power will be handed over to you, but the People's Guard will be retained for the time being.
Coincidentally, the first batch of Japan's compensation arrived the next day, 1 billion Mingyang. Shen Rongxuan immediately announced that the government would not retain any of the 1 billion Mingyang, and would all be used to build three major welfare systems, namely "universal basic welfare system". "Medical Security System", "National Pension Security System", "Primary and Junior High School Free Education System". Of course, the funds required for these three systems are astronomical, and this 1 billion Mingyang is not enough. However, Shen Rongxuan vowed, As long as the Donglin Party cabinet can win the trust and support of the people, then he promises to reduce administrative expenditures to less than 10% of the current year's fiscal revenue during one term, and ensure that at least 50% of the annual fiscal revenue is invested in the national welfare system. , and improve the living standards of the people.
Shen Rongxuan also promised to immediately introduce the advanced experience of President Roosevelt of the United States and establish an "unemployment insurance" system. In the future, if Ming workers lose their jobs, they will no longer be in danger of starvation during the unemployment period and can apply for unemployment insurance. , to ensure the basic life of yourself and your family.
If these few things are followed, Daming will become the country with the most complete welfare in the world.
Before Shen Rongxuan finished speaking on the Jinling Radio Station, at the Huaxia Radio Station opposite, politicians from the opposition parties began to expose the "lies" and "unrealistic aspects" in Shen Rongxuan's promises. Then they began their own Campaign promise.
Now, a scene that has never been seen before in the Ming Empire - the campaign has just begun.
