"Harsh? I have tried my best to compress the compensation. According to the loss of our personnel and equipment, your country will have to pay at least ten times more." Gu Weijun snorted coldly: "We just hope that your country will pay off the debt with land, otherwise It will definitely ruin your family.”

"You're blackmailing." Brien finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Really? You can choose not to accept it, and we will take it directly." Gu Weijun refused to give in. Now that the Hualan Kingdom is so powerful, he still has nothing to worry about.

Gu Weijun's toughness made Brian immediately soften, and the Saar Empire did not want to have a fearless conflict with the Hualan Kingdom, so Chamberlain did not say anything radical.The negotiations between the two sides have reached a stalemate. At this time, Frank, the Secretary of State of the White Eagle Kingdom, quickly smoothed things over and said: "Everyone calm down. Diplomatic negotiation is the art of compromise. Why bother to be so tit for tat. This time the Gaul Kingdom is indeed wrong, but it is also the same for being bewitched by the Wa Kingdom." In fact, I think everyone should conduct this diplomatic negotiation in a peaceful and friendly manner."

"Secretary of State Frank thinks that Hualan Kingdom should make a gesture and not punish Gaul?" Hualan Kingdom and White Eagle Kingdom at least maintained a superficial friendship, so Gu Weijun's tone of speech was much softer.

Nowadays, in international affairs, it is the Thrall Empire that puts the greatest pressure on the White Eagle Kingdom.The White Eagle Country needs to unite with the Hualan Country and resist the diplomatic pressure from the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, so even if he is worried that the Hualan Country will become stronger and affect the White Eagle Country's interests in the Eastern Ocean, he can't do it too obviously.

Hearing Gu Weijun's rhetorical question, Frank laughed and said: "Of course it's impossible. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. This has been an international practice for many years and cannot be abolished. But everyone belongs to the allies, and in the world war there is also a price. We have fought side by side before, so we can't do things too extreme. The Hualan Kingdom should at least lower some conditions so that the Gaul Kingdom can accept it."

"Then Mr. Frank thinks, what kind of concessions should we make?" Gu Weijun obviously gave Frank a lot of face, and even asked his opinion.

After looking at Briand and Chamberlain, and then at Gu Weijun, Frank cleared his throat and said, "As for the compensation Hualan deserves, I think it should be appropriate. I think the two sides will divide the Indochina Peninsula with Hanoi as the boundary." At the same time, the Gaul Kingdom paid another [-] million White Eagle Yuan to the Hualan Kingdom as compensation for the war and the cost of redeeming the captives?"

"Since Mr. Frank has said so, I am willing to make a concession." The bottom line proposed by Zhao Shouhong is only compensation, and there is not much demand for land.Now that the plan proposed by Frank has exceeded expectations, Gu Weijun quickly agreed.In this way, they have obtained benefits, and they seem to respect the White Eagle Kingdom's proposal very much, which is very beneficial to the relationship between the two parties.

"This is not very good. The cession of the colonial Congress cannot be passed." Brian's face was full of embarrassment.

"Mr. Briand, please note that we have lowered the conditions a lot at the request of Secretary of State Frank. If your country still does not know how to advance or retreat, we cannot guarantee the coming of peace, and all the consequences will be borne by your country." Gu Weijun directly said Frank pulled into his camp, threatened with war, and put great pressure on Gaul.

Seeing that the two sides were about to talk about collapse again, Chamberlain quickly stood up and said, "The request of the Hualan Kingdom is also reasonable. Mr. Briand can't make a decision, so he just sent the news back to China for a decision." Colonies are already the biggest diplomatic victory, and Chamberlain believes that Gaul should be content.

The Saar Empire did not really support Gaul, as long as its influence continued to exist in the Eastern Continent.Weakening Gaul in an appropriate amount will help it rely on the Saar Empire, which is good for the interests of the empire.

All countries have ghosts in their hearts, and no one will really work hard for other countries, so there is a gap that can be used.Both Frank and Chamberlain had already expressed their opinions, and Briand could not refute them, so he had no choice but to send the news back to China and let the adults decide.This is the first time that Gaul has become a fish on the chopping board, which makes them extremely uncomfortable.But now that the Gaul Kingdom has been defeated, they are no longer able to keep the colony from being invaded by the Hualan Kingdom.

The White Eagle Kingdom and the Saar Empire have already made gestures. If their own side vetoes this resolution, it is difficult for the two countries to stop it.The Hualan Kingdom will use large-scale military forces against the Indochina Peninsula without any constraints. When the time comes, what will the Gaul Kingdom do to defend against the opponent's attack.

After deliberation, Gaul finally agreed to Hualan's proposal.The new "North China Treaty" was formally signed. As the defeated party, Gaul agreed to cede the Indochina Peninsula colony north of Hanoi and pay [-] million Baiying Yuan as compensation for the other party's military expenses and the redemption of captives.The Hualan Kingdom also expressed its recognition of Gaul's right to rule the area south of Hanoi, and agreed to send troops to assist in the defense at the invitation of Gaul when necessary.

The final clause is purely a fig leaf for Gaul. This time they cede land and pay compensation, but they have not obtained any substantial benefits. It is estimated that the domestic government is not far from falling.However, Hualan Kingdom has made a fortune. With this piece of land as a buffer zone, Hualan Kingdom can resist the enemy south of Hanoi and have a better strategic situation.What made Zhao Shouhong even more gratified was that after taking control of Hanoi, Emperor Annanbao also became his possession. In order to use the last emperor of Annan Kingdom, Zhao Shouhong could have a lot of room to play.

The first thousand and 160 chapters and seven political discussions

The signing of the new treaty has aroused the enthusiasm of the people and raised the national pride unprecedentedly.Looking back on the experience of the past few years, everyone discovered that after the establishment of the Western Special Zone, all the treaties signed by the country seemed to be beneficial to Hualan Country. The humiliation of the past has been redeemed, which can be said to be a great contribution.

The centripetal force among the people has increased unprecedentedly, and the support rate of the provisional Hualan government is actually higher than that of the previous official national governments, which can be described as a great irony to democratic politics.However, Zhao Shouhong will not insist on going his own way on the issue of the political system. He took advantage of the rising sentiment among the people to bring up the old matter again, which once again sparked a big discussion on the political system.

The Hualan government ordered major newspapers to issue a new section dedicated to domestic intellectuals and even civilians expressing their thoughts on the political system.Anyone can publish news for free and express the political model they think in their minds for the people of the whole country to examine and think about.The radio station also has a special channel, and the announcer will broadcast letters from people from all over the country one by one for everyone to analyze and discuss.

The severe disasters brought to the country and the nation by the many changes in the political system actually stimulated the people to become more sensitive and proactive about politics.More and more people participated in this discussion, which soon exceeded Zhao Shouhong's expectations, especially in the former Western Special Administrative Region where all the people participated.This is an unprecedented debate that has spread across the country, and it is also an unprecedented emancipation of the mind before the general election begins.

Zhao Shouhong is willing to cultivate everyone's enthusiasm for participating in and discussing state affairs and improve everyone's political consciousness in addition to determining the country's political system this time.In this way, the people can become a force to supervise the political system, and provide an additional guarantee for the direction of national politics.

This time, Zhao Shouhong's measures were very practical, and soon many people published their articles in newspapers or wrote letters to the radio station, expressing their thoughts on the political system.Among the people who published articles, the eastern provinces are relatively single, they are all literati and professors, and the people in the former western special zone are relatively mixed. Because of years of popularization of education, the literacy rate there has reached more than [-]%, and most of them have middle schools. Academic qualifications are enough to support them to write such articles.

It is precisely because of the difference in personnel structure that almost all the eastern provinces are discussing democratic republic and constitutional government, while the provinces in the western special zone are much more chaotic.Some of them support a democratic republic or a constitutional government, but most of them support the political structure of the Western District.

The central government is highly centralized, the military is prohibited from participating in politics, the establishment of courts dominated by civilians, and the realization of limited local autonomy are all rules and regulations that are easily accepted by the common people.After some legal circles and politicians in the Western Special Administrative Region explained the political operation structure of the Western Special Administrative Region in newspapers, the Western Special Administrative Region model has also been sought after by many people.Some people even suggested that Zhao Shouhong should ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and restore the country to the monarchy again, which was actually supported by many people.

The big discussion has been going on for two months. During this period, the people expressed their views and made their thoughts public.At the beginning, the eastern provinces were afraid of Zhao Shouhong's retaliation and published articles under a pseudonym, but the western special zone has been open for a long time, and it has become a habit for everyone to dare to speak out about the government's mistakes, so naturally they publish articles under their real names.Seeing that those people had not received any retaliation, the literati in the eastern provinces were also relieved. Later, they also began to publish articles under their real names, and even dared to denounce the government's fault.

During the big discussion, Zhao Shouhong watched the political discussions in various newspapers every day, and drew practical ideas from them.Zhao Shouhong discovered after a while that there are so many high-level people among the people who are able to get along with all kinds of whimsical ideas to limit government power, prevent corruption, or improve government efficiency.Of course, there are also articles from the left wing of the Congress Party advocating republican democracy and the Communist Party advocating utopianism. However, the reputation of these two systems in the country is not very good, and not many people respond.

In the end, everyone's ideas tended to be unified, and they believed that Zhao Shouhong should be proclaimed emperor, and then a constitutional monarchy system should be implemented in the country, with several major political parties in the country taking turns to form a cabinet.Zhao Shouhong couldn't help frowning at such thoughts. He didn't want to be an emperor, and a constitutional monarchy was not the kind of government he wanted. Stronger than a constitutional monarchy.

In order to correctly guide public opinion, he published an article on the Declaration under a pseudonym, expounding his thoughts on the regime.First of all, he believes that the power of the country should belong to the people, and the National People's Congress, which is elected by the people of the whole country, should be the highest authority in the country.However, this institution is not responsible for administrative and other specific affairs, but is used to elect members of the country and let them elect the political party in charge of the country.

In this way, three levels of constraints can be formed, and the existing Hualan Pioneer Party, Hualan Communist Party and the left wing of the National Congress will form the three major political parties for election.The three major political parties can form a parliament and become the country's authority, but whether they can become a member of the parliament is elected by the National People's Congress. This makes the party subject to the constraints of the people and prevents the party from becoming the master of the country.

The country will establish a constitution, and the formulation of the constitution is completed by the parliament, but it must be approved by two-thirds of the representatives of the National People's Congress before it can be formally implemented.The Constitution will stipulate that the National People's Congress is the highest authority in the country, has the right to deny the legitimacy of the national government and parliament, and has the right to re-elect a new national government and parliament.

The current constitution basically copies the content of the Basic Law of the Western Special Zone, which stipulates that courts composed of civil legal professionals are not subject to command or inspection by any political party, and non-governmental supervisory agencies composed of private individuals have the right to file lawsuits and impeachment at the National People's Congress and so on.In addition, national soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics, active-duty soldiers are not allowed to participate in government work, and soldiers are not allowed to participate in political activities within five years of retiring, so as to limit the possibility of military interference in politics to the greatest extent.

All minerals in Hualan Kingdom are owned by the state, and the state establishes enterprises to operate them. Mining and energy enterprises will be state-owned enterprises, subject to state control, but will be operated by private individuals, and profits will be turned over to the state treasury in the form of dividends.

Private individuals who operate state-owned enterprises need to comply with the overall national strategic requirements to allocate their own production and sales direction, but the state must not interfere with the normal operation of the enterprise, and must not impose specific restrictions on the production, sales, profit and other conditions of the enterprise except in violation of the law.

The first thousand and 160 eight chapters of the national system of universal suffrage

In the National People's Congress, party members should not exceed a quarter of the total number of people, and workers, farmers, and businessmen will be distributed in proportion. At the same time, officials and their immediate family members are not allowed to enter the National People's Congress.The National People's Congress is elected by the local people's congresses level by level, and everything is carried out by governments below the county level.

The country continues to implement the method of the Western Special Zone. Governments below the county level are governed by local autonomy. Leaders at all levels, except county heads, are elected by local people's congresses. Officials are the same as the parliament and the government. Each term is six years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms. session.

The parliament, elected by the National People's Congress, will be composed of the three major political parties and independents.The parliament has the right to review the government budget and elect the composition of the government, but it is only responsible for general decision-making and must not interfere with specific government decisions.

There will be two rounds of parliamentary elections. The political parties eliminated in the first round of elections will enter the national supervisory agency, which will be responsible for disciplinary inspection of the government and avoid corruption.The political party eliminated in the second round of elections is responsible for the management of the parliament, and the party leader who lost the election serves as the speaker. The speaker has the right to propose a motion of no confidence in the government to the National People's Congress and has the right to impeach the president.

The party leader who wins the election will serve as the country's president, who will form the country's government.The formation of a government has the right to recruit members of other parties or people without party affiliation to join the government, and has the right to make decisions on the specific development of the country. However, in case of major issues, the president needs to propose them and the parliament will review them.If the parliament rejects the proposal, the president has another chance to submit a proposal to the National People's Congress to amend the parliament's resolution.

In addition to the constitution, the country formulates a basic law.The Basic Law cannot be amended unless it is approved by more than four-fifths of the National People's Congress.The Basic Law will stipulate the basic norms of society, including that all ethnic groups that join the Hualan Kingdom are part of the Hualan nation, no group or individual shall be discriminated against, people of all ethnic groups have equal political and economic rights, and have the right to receive education and work as citizens. and the right to enjoy labor remuneration shall not be violated by anyone.Any act of secession will be defined as treason, and once the charge is confirmed by the court, the criminal must immediately execute the death sentence without reprieve.Corruption is a crime that cannot be tolerated by the country. Officials who have embezzled more than [-] Chinese dollars will be executed without reprieve once confirmed.

For this set of social systems, which is different from any current national system, it is almost a combination of the strengths of various families, with multiple insurances, and has won the support of many people. It soon surpassed the constitutional monarchy and became the country The most sought after social system in the country.

People are very concerned about the future of the country, in fact, they are concerned about their own interests.The Hualan Kingdom has been in power for too long, and everyone has become very sensitive to the political system. Everyone is trying their best to find a way to find a political system that is most beneficial to the people, and it is best to get it done once and for all.

Someone suggested that Zhao Shouhong proclaim himself emperor in order to establish a constitutional monarchy, which was actually based on Zhao Shouhong's unparalleled domestic prestige and fame.They hope that Zhao Shouhong can lead them forever and let Hualan Kingdom achieve its true glory.But at the same time, they were also afraid that Zhao Shouhong's power would be too large and he would lose control, which would cause the country to fall into the turmoil of the post-Jin Dynasty again, so they wanted to restrict it through constitutional law.

From this point of view, the people of Hualan Kingdom are now completely awakened.They no longer live in a muddle-headed way, but seriously think about their own future and offer advice and suggestions for the long-term stability of the country. This is what Zhao Shouhong is most gratified about.

After a two-month discussion period, the country held its first general elections.However, this general election is different from the previous elections in the future, because this election is not about the government, but the direction of the country's political system.The various regimes mentioned in the discussion were printed on ballot papers for the people to choose.

The country has used huge manpower and material resources to ensure the success of this election. The Western Special Administrative Region is very experienced in this. They have used various methods to prevent fraud and make the election fair, fair and transparent.The final election results were calculated one month later. As a result, the mixed government proposed by Zhao Shouhong received [-]% of the votes in favor and became the choice of the people of the whole country.

After the political system was established, the establishment of formal national institutions quickly entered the fast lane.The eastern provinces will elect their own sub-county governments within three months.Before the end of the year, counties across the country will elect their own local people's congresses and elect national-level representatives.

In the spring of [-], Hualan Kingdom will hold the first National People's Congress to determine the country's basic law and constitution, and elect a new parliament. In the winter of [-], two rounds of elections will be held to determine the positions of the final three major parties, the winners of which will authorize the establishment of a formal Hualan National Government to replace the current Provisional Government.

After the government is established, the government, the parliament, and the National People's Congress will cooperate to decide the new country name, national flag, national anthem and other national symbols through voting, and then the country can enter the right track.Of course, before this election is completed, the operation of the country will still be run by the provisional government headed by Zhao Shouhong.All decrees will be implemented directly until after the establishment of the National People's Congress.

In fact, in today's Hualan Kingdom, the real leader is Xie Mingjue, the Premier of the State Council. He relies on the original team of the Western Special Administrative Region Government to manage the country smoothly.Even so, Xie Mingjue is busy every day without touching the ground, working hard for the construction of the country, while the nominal president is acting as a hand-off shopkeeper, busy with his affairs.

Zhao Shouhong knew very well that in order to prosper, a country must have a peaceful and stable environment in addition to rapid economic development.But the peace and stability of a country does not depend on prayers or charity from other countries, but requires the country to have an army that is absolutely elite, powerful, and spends as little money as possible.

To make an army a truly elite division, training, weapons, tactics, etc. are very important, but the most important aspect is the spirit, which is the soul of an army, and Zhao Shouhong is busy these days this matter.

Under Zhao Shouhong's initiative, the government summoned the best architects and skilled craftsmen to level a large area of ​​land outside Chengtian Gate, the main gate of the original Beihua City Imperial City, to build a square.In addition, a Monument to the People's Heroes was built with white marble in the center of the square. In addition to the eight gold-plated characters of Immortal People's Heroes on the monument, all the heroic deeds of Hualan Kingdom in the past 5000 years will be engraved on it in relief. For everyone's admiration.

The first thousand and 160 nine chapters of provincial planning

Of course, this monument is just a commemorative form, but the real big head is behind the monument, where a vast garden will be built.The green pines, green cypresses, small bridges and flowing water in the garden are all-encompassing, and the main building is a three-story antique-style high-rise.

The high-rise building is called the Heroes Pavilion, where all the spiritual tablets of martyrs who died for the country in foreign wars will be enshrined for future generations to look up and pay homage to.With the vigorous publicity of various information agencies, this construction has been supported by the people of the whole country, and the construction speed of the project can be called a miracle.With support from all walks of life across the country, the full support of the state, and the conscientious work of the construction team working overtime, during the two months of discussion in the national sports, the Heroes’ Pavilion, gardens, and the Heroes Monument were all quickly completed.

On the day when the Pavilion of Heroes was completed, Zhao Shouhong went to unveil it in person. At the same time, in front of the generals and officials present, as well as the onlookers, he personally placed the first spiritual seat belonging to Lin Jixun into the Pavilion of Heroes.This naval officer, who was posthumously presented as an admiral after his death, has also become the highest rank spiritual position that the Heroic Pavilion will be stationed in for a long time to come.
