Wang Maoru is not a god, he is also one head and two big, and at the same time he needs his think tank to give him ideas. After several discussions and analyses between Wang Maoru and Tang Shaoyi, Jiang Fangzhen, Sa Zhenbing, and others, the first point is whether to abandon the Kizil fortress and the second point is that rewarding meritorious heroes belongs to the internal military affairs of the National Defense Force, but the third point is to control public opinion and the fourth point is that the Sino-Soviet negotiations again are related to the direction of national politics, and he cannot draw conclusions lightly.

So Wang Maoru held urgent consultations overnight with Premier Tang Shaoyi, Vice Minister of National Defense Sa Zhenbing, President of the Senate Shi Shaoyang, new Vice President of the Senate Wu Zhaolin, Speaker of the House of Representatives Liu Enge, Vice Minister of the House of Representatives Liang Qichao, Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang, and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Gu Weijun. The discussion lasted from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., and the direction of discussion at the meeting was whether the announcement of the victory would lead to a new round of national awakening and whether it would lead to a complete rupture of Sino-Soviet relations.

At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Maoru made it clear to everyone the before and after of the Battle of the Heart of Central Asia, which had been planned for four years in Wang Maoru's plan, and that on the way back to China with Wang Maoru's army from Russia, he took the lead in occupying Central Asia and the Outer Northwest, leaving the 3rd and 10th Divisions, which were the most capable of fighting in the National Defense Army, as the backbone to establish the Western Regions Military Region. Wang Maoru took the Russians' character of retribution as the starting point, and once the Russians were unified, they would definitely recover their territory. To this end, the military budget of the National Defense Forces devotes a large amount of money to the Western Regions Military Region every year, and the ammunition reserves of the Western Regions Military Region are close to half of the country's total.

Hearing this, Liang Qichao was frightened enough. It turned out that when Wang Maoru fought to unify China, he did not use his strongest troops, but second-rate troops. That's how it swept through the old army.

Wang Maoru continued to say that after the Soviet Union signed the "Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty" that humiliated the country, it has always been unconvinced, and has hinted to the army several times about the content of territorial recovery, and has propagated ** remarks in the country, describing China as a vampire moth and a dirty yellow race, and the "yellow peril theory" within Soviet Russia is extremely strict, and China and the Soviet Union must have a war. Thereupon. The battle to determine whether China would rise or Soviet Russia would dominate Asia had begun.

When Wang Maoru said that our army suffered 70,561 casualties, more than half of them were killed, except for those who were seriously wounded and captured. When no soldiers surrendered or were captured, the crowd was shocked. Among them, Sa Zhenbing, Jiang Fangzhen and Wu Zhaolin, who serve in the military, are especially more empathetic than others. The rest of the people didn't think that this sentence had any special meaning, and maybe the more radical people would think it was a kind of pride, but the three of them knew what this sentence meant. The war will be fought until the whole army is destroyed, and no one will be captured. With the rise of the motherland in mind, he would rather give up his life and fight a decisive battle until no one was captured.

Sa Zhenbing sighed, the state is like a scholar, and the country is like a scholar.

Wu Zhaolin was the hero who commanded the Wuchang Uprising, how could he not know the meaning of no one being captured, he only felt as if he was killing the battlefield in front of him, the Chinese soldiers ran out of ammunition and food, especially refused to surrender, and killed the enemy with the last bullet. Died tragically under the knife. No wonder, no wonder even if the countries are persecuted. Wang Maoru also sat firmly on Mount Tai, no wonder a powerful person like Sun Liwen had nothing to do with Wang Maoru. With the support of a group of soldiers who sacrifice their lives for righteousness and do not regard their lives as a thing, can Wang Mao Ruyan monopolize the unification?

Wang Maoru knew that Tang Shaoyi was a problem-solver, but not a person who decided the problem, if it was his proposal, he would first ask Wang Maoru what to do, and if Wang Maoru couldn't find a solution for the time being, he would ask the president what to do, so at the beginning, Wang Maoru directly threw out the countermeasures to the problem and announced the news of China's victory, and now the question is how to return to the negotiating table with Soviet Russia after the announcement. It is necessary not only to prevent the Soviet Russian empire from tearing its face, but also to prevent domestic public opinion from hijacking the national strategy. What Wang Maoru could think of was that once the news was announced, the resurgence of national boiling nationalism would force the government of the Republic of China to negotiate normally with the Russian Empire.

For example, does the territory of Central Asia still need to be delivered? We have won the war, and we still have to give them the territory? According to the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty, the Kyzyl fortress and all surrounding lands, rivers, deserts, and salt marshes must be returned to Soviet Russia at the end of the year, so the treaty still needs to be observed. If China does not comply, it will be in the hands of Soviet Russia, and if China complies, then the domestic nationalists will insult the government as a traitorous government, and Wang Maoru will be infamous on his back. In the Sino-French war of the Qing Dynasty, France was invincible, and China was victorious but not victorious, and it was criticized by many morals and public opinion. Inevitably, no one will take the opportunity to instigate, especially since the KMT is watching with a fierce eye and creating public opinion pressure to allow China to occupy the Kizil fortress and consolidate the fruits of victory -- if the government is kidnapped by public opinion, then it will be certain interest groups and careerists who will control the country.

It's difficult, Wang Maoru rubbed his head, looked at Jiang Fangzhen and Shi Shaoyang, and the two of them also shook their heads and smiled bitterly. State affairs and political affairs are not child's play, and it is easy to announce the news of victory, but it is not easy to negotiate below.

At four o'clock in the morning, Li Ziwen came to the State Council again, and when he heard the discussion continued, he couldn't help but knock on the door, and said with a wry smile: "It is about to be typeset and printed, whether it should be announced or not, you will give me a message." The people of the All-China Newspaper Union could not bear it anymore, and they sat in the hall of the Ministry of Culture, and even the telegram was moved to the hall of the Ministry of Culture. ”

Although the Ministry of Culture controls the direction of public opinion, as time moves forward, the two sides gradually move from the relationship between the leader and the led to the relationship of cooperation, and the vast majority of newspapers will unconditionally obey the instructions of the Ministry of Culture. On the one hand, Li Ziwen needs cultural people to support him, and on the other hand, he can't suppress these literati and ink writers too much, so the relationship between these people and him is extremely special. The literati were generally more agitated and radical, and when they learned of China's victory, they couldn't wait to spread the news to all the Chinese people.

Li Ziwen said helplessly: "The news is published, but have you ever thought about the effect?" ”

Zha Zumao, director of the Ministry of Culture's Development Department, from Haining, Zhejiang, said: "The rest of the effects are ignored, but there is one effect that is obvious. ”

"What effect?"

Zha Zumao said: "Nowadays, Chinese culture and thought are stirring, the traditional Zhu Xi's Confucianism, Lu Wangxinxue, Buddhism, Taoism, White Lotus Thought, Mida Thought, Sun Liwen's Three People's Doctrine, Liberal Capitalism, Bolshevism, Liberal Government Idea, Primitive Nationalism, coupled with Confucianism advocated by Xiushuai, it can be said that the culture of the Republic of China at this time is prosperous and a hundred schools of thought contend, quite the style of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, all isms must always have a mainstream, and since we have established Confucianism as the mainstream ideology, we must serve it as soon as possible. As an advocate of Confucianism, the generalissimo Shangwu was invincible in all battles, and did not this prove the value of Confucianism in China? ”

Li Ziwen frowned, shook his head halfway, and said, "You are secretly changing concepts." ”

Cha Zumao said: "But only the generalissimo Shangwu can save China, isn't it?" His words are right, and all his actions are interpreting his thoughts, including leading the Wehrmacht to break the Rakshasa! ”

Li Ziwen thought about it for a while, and only then did he decide to support the All-China Newspaper Federation of Trade Unions, report to Wang Maoru, and wait for the decision of the State Council.

When Li Ziwen walked into the conference room, he immediately felt the contradiction of everyone, and he could only sit aside and wait for the result. In the end, Wang Maoru slapped the table and laughed: "It's all beaten, what are you afraid of?" The Russians have also tasted the power of our fists, and the world cannot underestimate us and wait. The whole world thinks that China is still a pigtail soldier when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing, which makes everyone see that our squadron is not vegetarian. Also, if it is not reported, how can it be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in front of the Kizil fortress? He turned back to Li Ziwen and said: "I agree, you can broadcast it, but you need to pay attention to the wording, it's not a full-scale war, it's a friction and self-defense counterattack." There is also the incident of the exodus of Russians some time ago, and you have also asked someone to write about it, and on the pretext that the Russians had long known that Soviet Russia would be at war with China, and only began to flee in February and March because they began to flee, you will shift all the blame to the Soviet Empire. ”

Li Ziwen nodded immediately, and hurriedly went back to inform him.

Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly: "In this way, it is indeed a little more difficult. ”

"Now that the road has come to this point, there is no room for us to back down." Wang Maoru smiled bitterly, "We must avoid a full-scale war with Soviet Russia, but we can't help but prepare for a full-scale war with them." We have won this war, we have won important political victories in the world, and China's national status has been unprecedentedly enhanced. However, it is also necessary to prevent self-confidence from being overly inflated, and some people follow the example of the Empress Dowager Cixi, thinking that China is the heavenly army and the heavenly general of the Celestial Empire, declaring war on the eight countries at the same time. It must be known that if we continue to fight with the Russians now, there is no doubt that the revived Chinese civilization will be hindered again. ”

Shi Shaoyang, the speaker of the Senate, said: "That's true, please rest assured that the congressmen will not have objections to this." ”

Liu Enge, speaker of the House of Representatives, also said: "Please rest assured that Xiushuai and the Senate and the House of Representatives will support Xiushuai to the end." ”

Vice Speaker of the Senate Wu Zhaolin and Vice Speaker of the House of Representatives Liang Qichao also nodded.

Wang Maoru added: "It should be noted that the foreign powers very much hope that the two countries of China and the Soviet Union will fight to the death, so they will definitely bribe some parliamentarians and let them come up with more radical measures to prevent China and the Soviet Union from returning to the negotiating table." You have to pay attention to these parliamentarians, they are either incapable of thinking and are being seduced, or they have been bought by foreign countries and have become traitors and lackeys. These people are no longer worthy of being parliamentarians, and they will be brutally attacked and ostracized. ”

"Yes, Xiushuai." Shi Shaoyang said on behalf of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
