"The so-called separation of powers, or the so-called institutional determinism, is a joke in democracies. Just like you can't build a building out of cobblestones, you can't get a group of completely selfish people to build a solid country. Even if it is established, the country will be crumbling, and if there is an external impact, this seemingly majestic edifice will fall apart......"

In the hall of Tonghua University, Yang Rui, who has to come to give a class every month, is teaching students. However, due to the current situation, several students raised their hands and asked questions, and one of them stood up after receiving permission: "Excuse me, sir, are you talking about our China?" ”

"Do you think we look like us?" Yang Rui smiled and asked, these fourteen or fifteen-year-old hairy boys are very naïve in his opinion, but there is no lack of courage and intelligence among young people, and he believes that after careful cultivation, this generation will have real virtues.

"The students thought it was very similar." The young man nodded solemnly. "The Inspectorate and the Cabinet of Ministers are plotting with the tiger and beggar-thy-neighbor, and they will definitely repeat the alliance between the Song and Jin Maritime Empires in the past, and once Japan goes, the coastal provinces will have no danger to defend, and the anointed land will not be guaranteed."

The student's answer was not unexpected, Yang Rui asked: "Then tell me, why do the people of Jingshi repeat the mistakes of the Song people without knowing it, but think that they are doing the right thing." ”

"This ......" is obviously too deep for young people who have never been in the world. Although a few students stood up and replied, 'The princes in Beijing are too selfish,' and 'those straw bales are scared', Yang Rui still shook his head. Seeing that the student couldn't get an idea for a long time, he had to call an honest student, whisper a few words, and then let the student who asked the question just now also stand up, and then laughed and stepped aside. He laughed. The student who came up first suddenly slapped the questioning student, 'Smack! ' The voice was unusually loud, and the young face of the questioning student immediately turned red and swollen.

"You! Why are you beating people? He stroked the red and swollen half of his face. The beaten student pointed at the other party angrily, and looked at Yang Rui on the side aggrievedly. The more he did this, the beating student continued to slap him, and after another slap, the counterattack began.

"Stop!" Yang Rui shouted, and the whip also hit the podium, and the four people were shocked with a 'bang'. "It's just an experiment." Yang Rui explained, but did not let the two go down. This experiment explains the question just now - why the guilds of the court today repeat the mistakes of the Song people. It's not that they're too selfish, they're not too hasty, they're too cowardly, but they're the same as the Song people. Forget your own beastly instincts. In short, they only know how to think with their brains.

The Song people, who signed a maritime alliance with the Jin State, thought like this: The Liao State has deceived me for a long time, but the Jin State is his enemy, and the so-called enemy of the enemy is my friend, so the Song and Jin alliances are logical and common-sense, and maybe under the attack of the north and the south, they will recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. And the Jin State is indeed better than the Liao State, but I have the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in hand, why are I afraid of the Jin people?

Thinking, rationality; Rational, thinking ......" Yang Rui repeated these two words, and looked at the student who was beaten: "This makes people feel that the things that are extremely correct are actually harmful to others and themselves many times. For example, just now: you hit back when you take the first slap. That's not going to take a second slap in the face. Why, because your mind is thinking: Why did he hit me? I didn't mess with him on weekdays, he actually beat people in front of the teacher, and he was expelled from the school for beating people......"

"Is that what you're thinking?" After Yang Rui finished speaking, he asked the student who was beaten.

"Yes, sir." Kung Fu for a while. The white and tender face was swollen like a steamed bun at this time. "I'm worried about being expelled from the school......"

"Then let me ask you, who made the rules for expulsion from fights?" Seeing that he was still restrained, Yang Rui asked again.

"It's the division commanders." Steamed bun face replied again.

"Let me ask you again: Are there any rules in the old forest?" Yang Rui continued to ask. "Are there rules between countries in today's world?"

The eye blinked a few times. The steamed bun face finally opened up, and he wanted to laugh but grinned in pain. "There are no rules, sir."

"Forget your instincts because you think about the rules set by others. That's your lesson. Yang Rui looked at his kind approval, and then looked at the students in the class, "You remember: the instincts given to us by our ancestors are a hundred times better than our own brains, but there are always people who fool us to think that reason is omnipotent. Reason can really do things only after you choose, not when you choose. In addition, there are no other rules in the world, except for these three:

The first is bravery. A cowardly person can never be trusted, he is like a pebble by the river, he is gentle and well-read on weekdays, but when the knife is on his neck, in order to survive, he can say and do anything, so I have always said that bravery is the basis of virtue.

The second is piety. If bravery is virtue, then outlaws are obviously a different story. Courage that is not for one's own benefit is the true virtue, but courage at the expense of self-interest can only be devout faith. Death is indeed the end of our life in this world, but who can deny that death is not the beginning of the next?

The third is to keep promises. Only the brave and pious can keep their promises, those pebbles want to keep but can't stand it, and the outlaws disdain to keep it for their own gain. This brings us back to our previous topic: the so-called checks and balances of power and institutional determinism. In a world full of cobblestones, there are no checks and balances on power because there is no fulcrum to be found; In the same way, in a world full of outlaws, even the most elaborate system is nothing, because no one follows it. The character and virtue of the people are the future of the country, and does such a country need checks and balances? No, you don't; Do you need an elaborate system? Nor is it required.

Therefore, we can say that when a country pins its hopes on the so-called checks and balances or institutions, it is very close to the day of complete collapse. The reason why the system can still be established is because her citizens are not completely pebbled, and they can still provide a relatively solid fulcrum for checks and balances on each other, but this is not too far from the complete pebbling of the people......"

Just after saying this, the bell rang at the end of class, and Wang Ji agreed to appear at the door of the classroom. When Yang Rui went out, he smiled and said, "It's actually that you are fooling young people again......"

I didn't expect Wang Jitong to run directly to the school, I don't know how much he listened to Yang Rui smiled embarrassedly: "Lao Er is a thief if he doesn't die." What is this called flickering, this is called enlightenment? What to do if you don't educate them and go the wrong way in the future. He half-truths and half-truths and then said, "Why are you here?" Is there something urgent? ”

Wang Jitong also wanted to make fun of a few words. Seeing Yang Rui asking about business, he immediately said: "There is indeed an urgent matter." ”

"Hmm. Let's talk about it. Yang Rui walked with him to the depths of the campus, and Xu Caigen followed on the side.

"Ta Kung Pao published an article. The main thing is to analyze the various reasons why the United States does not sign a contract with us. Wang Jitong handed a newspaper, "I think there are two points, the first is that the United States is worried that we will not be able to be truly neutral, and the second is that our country is not democratic enough." Both of these points directly refer to the fiefdom outside the Guanwai. ”

"Hehe......" Yang Rui just glanced at it and returned the newspaper to Wang Jitong, this Ta Kung Pao has actually become a well-known daily newspaper in Greater China, and it is highly sought after by mouths, just like the south in later generations. Gu Weijun was kicked out of the White House by the Americans, and they began to push the problem on us again, how can I look at these people the more I feel that they lack morality. ”

"It's really lacking in morality." Wang Jitong agreed. What happened in June last year really made him look at the Kuomintang monarchs differently, and the only difference between them and Chen Qimei and others was that they did not directly send people to kill people. "But now that they are building public opinion, I am afraid that it will not be long before someone officially submits a proposal to the Inspectorate to recover the fiefdom."

"********, it's an old routine." Yang Rui walked on the boulevard, and there was greenery everywhere.

"Shall we ...... What to do? Wang Jitong was not as leisurely as him, and turned his head to stare at him tightly.

"It's not easy, it's better to strike first." Yang Rui said, "After you return to Beijing, you will hold a press conference and say that if the United States really agrees to sign the contract." These people in the Imperial Court and these fiefs outside the Guanguan can be exchanged for the state. But at that time, it is also necessary to make it clear, if people don't want to sign a contract at all. The Cabinet is just holding the American chicken feathers as an arrow, and that is another matter. ”

"Is that okay?" Wang Jitong was very worried when he came, and he didn't think that Yang Rui would agree on the spot.

"Why can't this be?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically. "We can't take this ball when he kicks it, and we don't agree with those mouths and clamor that we don't care about the safety of the country and the people's livelihood. But if we preemptively kick it over. Then they will be passive. One year in power, one year in negotiations. The alliance also withdrew, the overseas Chinese also withdrew, hehe, the Americans didn't bring back a single fart. ”

"But how?" Wang Jitong is still not innocent about how to operate. "Just a press conference?"

"The whole country is electrified. I'll just take the lead. "Yang Rui thought of a trick commonly used in the Republic of China." After you return to Beijing, you will contact the major newspapers and say that you will hold a press conference, don't talk about the content first, when people come, we will jointly call the telegram, the content is roughly for the purpose of signing a contract, our fief can be exchanged for countries, but it should be emphasized that after the fief is handed over, who will guarantee that the Americans will sign the contract? You must know that there is already a lesson from the past, and the Americans did not sign a contract with us when they withdrew from the East Asian alliance last year. ”

"Are you real or fake?" Wang Jitong was a little confused, "What if you really sign a contract." ”

"It's the same for real and fake sex." Yang Rui said, "It's not a big deal to really hand it over." You can rest assured, except for some trouble on the Mongolian side, there is no trouble in the northeast. If you really want to rely on fiefdoms to make money, you really underestimate us. ”

But they also said that King Min couldn't keep ...... "Fiefdom is one thing, and King Min is another big thing." There is also the state religion and the Asian dollar, which will also be abolished. ”

"The Asian dollar is not a problem, and now the Chinese dollar on the market has not been converted, and the Asian dollar and the Chinese dollar are mixed, and they are all one to one anyway." Yang Rui said, "The state religion is no problem, Zhu Kuansu has some trouble there, not for him to abdicate for trouble, but for the trouble of Mongolia and Tibet returning to the three places, the part of this country outside the border is all maintained by Zhu Kuansu, they are loyal to Zhu Kuansu, the fake emperor and not to the Han people, as soon as Zhu Kuansu goes, Mongolia and Tibet will definitely want to be independent." ”

"Do you really want to retreat again and again?" Wang Jitong saw Yang Rui's serious expression, and felt very unbelieving.

"It's not that I retreat and retreat, but that they force and force again." Yang Rui said: "If two-thirds of the representatives of the Inspectorate are in favor like last time, it will be unconstitutional if we do not retreat." They also saw this, so they used war to blackmail the Suspects. This is no different from the original intimidation of the representatives of the intimidation of the civilian shooting, but one is to raise a gun himself, and the other is a fox and a fake tiger, supplemented by the name of peace. ”

"Then we'll retreat?" Wang Jitong nodded, he agreed with Yang Rui's point of view, peace had become a weapon for attacking the city among those mouth gunners. Whoever disagrees is an anti-peace warmonger.

"You can all go back." Yang Rui raised his hand, but did not wave. "Including Zhu Kuanji's abdication." He finished with some resentment. "If we hadn't had a plan, I would have retreated to the U.S. Marines to reoccupy Beijing. And then see how they raped the women and students in the city. ”

"If it happens, why bother with those people." Wang Jitong knew that Yang Rui was really angry, and spoke out to persuade him. "But why do you think those people in the Brotherhood are so impolite?"

"They want democracy." Yang Rui sneered, "There is another very important one - as the leading party, after the US military is stationed, the major domestic forces have been reshuffled, and they are the nobles of this country." We can get to this day with real knives and guns, why are they? Just the fucking mouth? It's ****** cheap! ”

Feeling that Yang Rui's anger was getting bigger and bigger, Wang Jitong immediately turned to ask. "Okay, don't talk about it, leave it to me over there in the capital. By the way, I heard that the whole war plan has already been made? How are you going to fight? How will I cooperate? ”

"How?" Yang Rui glanced around and saw that he was already in the dense forest, and the guards were looming in the distance, but he still pointed to the stream not far away: "Go over there and say, it's cooler." It was only when he walked to the stream that he said: "Today is Sunday, and tomorrow Monday, the Japanese government will give an ultimatum to the White House in Washington." ”

"Really?" Although it feels like war is imminent. But when he heard that it was tomorrow, Wang Jitong was still taken aback.

"Yes. The duration of the ultimatum was seventy-two hours. Within 72 hours, the U.S. Navy must withdraw from the Marshall Islands and make a formal apology to the Japanese government and compensate for all damages. Yang Rui said. The Americans would certainly not agree, so the declaration of war between Japan and the United States was just four days later. ”

"What about us?" Wang Jitong said with concern, "What should we do?" ”

"We? The people in the capital will definitely declare their neutrality. Yang Rui said. After that, it doesn't matter what they do. The Americans will call, and then it will be overthrown. We came to power, and in the end China and the United States declared war on each other. Speaking of which, Yang Rui thought of MacArthur in the Philippines. This person who invaded the northeast after 13 years in history will definitely invade Taiwan at that time. "It's probably the end of the year. In other words, the twenty-eighth year of Shenwu was the first year of the war. ”

"Hmm." Wang Jitong had already recovered from shock at this time, and he asked, "And then, how many years will you fight?" ”

"The plan of the General Staff Department is to be carried out in the thirty-fourth year of Shenwu, that is, seven years." Yang Rui said.

"Fighting for so long?" Wang Jitong remembered that what he said before was only five years, but he didn't want it to be seven years. "Can our national strength withstand it?"

"It depends on how it fights." Yang Rui said. "If the whole of Asia and South America are taken, it will be perfectly fine to fight for war. The meaning of the general queen Guangting is that if the three East Asian countries alone can fight for five years, the national strength will drop significantly in the sixth year, and domestic prices will also soar. If we can control South America and Asia, then the Asian dollar or military tickets can be widely circulated in these countries, which will keep the war going until the final victory. ”

"Aren't you going to use a hybrid bomb?" Of course, Wang Jitong understood what the military ticket represented, but he thought of a mixed element bomb.

"The Mixed Element Bomb will keep the world at peace, which is not good for civilization." Yang Rui said, "It's not good for us - as long as a big country has a mixed element bomb, we can't use it well, so we can only let him do whatever he wants." In the world to come, we will be the leaders, and whoever does wrong will be taught a lesson. If everyone has a hybrid bomb, it will be very inconvenient to teach them how to behave. But it's not really useless," Yang Rui said repeatedly, "It's just not for people." ”

"Not for people?" Wang Jitong was surprised, he suddenly remembered a report, and said, "Are you going to bomb it air?" ”

"Yes, air bombing. As soon as you blow up the lights, telephones, and telegraph bats under it, they will all be destroyed, and they will definitely be used when you land. Yang Rui said. In this way, when the mixed element bomb explodes at a high altitude, the Americans see the fire at most, and they don't know what it is, so they don't have to copy it. ”

"What about the Philippines?" Wang Jitong asked the second question again, which is also the place where he said before that he would use the mixed element bomb.

"As long as we seize the sea supremacy in the western Pacific, the Philippines will be a dead land." Yang Rui said. "They can only bomb cities south of Shanghai, not north. According to the established plan, we will have a decisive battle with the US Navy and the Royal Navy in Philippine waters next spring. ”

"Royal Navy ......" Wang Jitong was really surprised this time, he almost jumped up, "The British really want to go to war?" ”

"The U.S. Navy set up posts in Singapore and Hong Kong last month." Yang Rui said, "The news from the Jewish side is that if Britain does not enter the war, then after the war, the United States will implement an open door policy throughout Asia, and all British colonies, including India, will become independent; And in the event of a war, these benefits can be preserved. ”

"I see." Wang Jitong said helplessly, everyone thought that Britain would be neutral, and they didn't want her to be blackmailed by the United States.

"That's it." Yang Rui smiled bitterly, he also thought that the cunning British would be neutral, but they were slippery and afraid of the sideways, and Britain had to end if they didn't want to end. "Then it depends on how many aircraft carriers the British send. According to current estimates, we will have fourteen aircraft carriers in the decisive battle next year - the Japanese will secretly build four this year, the Americans will build fourteen, and the British side will have a ......speed of more than 30 knots, bravery, glory, the Royal Ark, and the glory of being about to be launched.
