Beiyang reactionaries

This proposal really shocked the whole country.Originally, there would be congressional elections and a change of government immediately, but Yang Wei suddenly proposed such a proposal, which means that the change of term would stop completely.In the future, China's political power will be highly concentrated in the Supreme Council, and even the Congress will not have the slightest restriction.That's the big deal.

The subsequent voting process is very simple.

Because this proposal has already been approved by the People's Party, Yang Wei's proposal easily won more than 95% of the votes after group discussion.Those members of the People's Party voted in favour.After passing this proposal, the National Assembly authorized the current Prime Minister Duan Xun to form the Supreme Committee and serve as the chairman of the Supreme Committee at the same time.Not only that, but Duan Xun was also authorized to have many special powers, including special powers to the Supreme Council.

Change too fast.

So fast that many people can't react in time.

But this time the political system changed so quickly, also because Duan Xun's current power is really great, and the People's Party has almost become the only party in China with a relationship.As long as it is decided by Duan Xun and the people's party, the Congress and the cabinet can easily pass it.

"Let me talk about personnel appointments."

After Congress authorized Duan Xun to form the Supreme Committee, Duan Xun immediately made a plan.That is, the institutional composition plan of the Supreme Council.The main reason is that the war is imminent, and Duan Xun has no energy to waste time.Therefore, forming the Supreme Committee as soon as possible to deal with the current complicated situation is the most important thing for Duan Xun at this stage.

Those who came included Dai Kan, Yang Wei, Yan Huiqing, Li Jishen, Wang Jingwei, Liao Zhongkai, and Vice President Yang Yongtai who had not attended the high-level meeting for a long time, as well as representatives of the military, Vice Minister of the Military Department Chen Yi, and Chief of the General Staff of the Military Staff Xu Yongchang. and others.

"My thoughts on the Supreme Council are as follows. According to the current administrative system, the National Assembly, the Cabinet, the Military Council, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, and the Supervisory Commission are parallel units. In order to manage these parallel units, the Supreme Council has Set up corresponding departments. These departments are not only the direct leadership organizations of the following units, but also need to coordinate the Supreme Committee and several subordinate units.”

"First of all, the Supreme Committee adopts a structure of one officer, four deputy members and four members. I am the chairman of the Supreme Committee and the chairman of the Military Committee. Premier Dai (Dai Kan), Speaker Yang (Yang Wei), Vice Chairman Wang (Wang Jingwei), Commander Li (Li Jishen) ), served as the vice chairman of the Supreme Committee. President Wang (Wang Chonghui) of the Supreme Court, Chief Prosecutor Weng (Weng Jingtang) of the Supreme Procuratorate, Chairman Liao of the Disciplinary Committee (Liao Zhongkai), and Chief of Staff Xu of the Military Committee (Xu Yongchang) served as members of the Supreme Committee .”

"After the establishment of the Supreme Committee, Vice Chairman Dai (Dai Kan) served as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and was fully responsible for the work of the cabinet. Vice Chairman Yang (Yang Wei) was responsible for reviewing and formulating the policies and regulations of the Supreme Committee. Vice Chairman Wang (Wang Jingwei) Responsible for the propaganda of the Supreme Committee and the work of the Overseas Chinese Federation. Vice Chairman Li (Li Jishen) is responsible for coordinating the affairs between the Military Commission and the Construction Corps. Because of the outbreak of war, the work of the Construction Corps will be changed. The Construction Corps will continue to maintain food production, and at the same time, it will also take on the task of supplying troops to the field troops. Even some of the Construction Corps’ defense troops will directly transform into field troops. However, how to coordinate this is the work of Vice Chairman Li.”

"Commissioner Wang (Wang Chonghui) is in charge of the work of the court department, Commissioner Weng (Weng Jingtang) is in charge of the work of the Procuratorate, Commissioner Liao (Liao Zhongkai) is in charge of the work of the Supervisory Committee, and Commissioner Xu (Xu Yongchang) is the Minister of the Military Department of the Supreme Council and concurrently the Chief of the Military Commission. Chief of Staff."

The purpose of Duan Xun's establishment of the Supreme Council is to centralize power.

Therefore, no department will be spared.The Supreme Committee has corresponding departments to manage the following units. Only in this way can Duan Xun sort out the entire system and increase efficiency.

So there are all the departments that should be there.Even if you don't directly manage those subordinate units, you must also communicate with each other.

"Vice President Yang (Yang Yongtai) serves as the secretary-general of the Supreme Council and is responsible for handling the daily affairs of the Supreme Council."

It's time to fight, and Duan Xun uses Yang Yongtai again.

Yang Yongtai has been serving as the vice president for the past few years, because the presidential palace has no power, so his vice president is just hanging on high.In fact, starting from the second five-year plan, Yang Yongtai was gradually excluded by the highest authority.Because Duan Xun was very dissatisfied with Yang Yongtai's work attitude at that time.But this time Duan Xun gave Yang Yongtai the qualification to enter the Supreme Committee again, hoping to use his excellent judgment and strategic thinking.Yang Yongtai is absolutely excellent in judging the world situation and quickly finding out how to deal with emergencies.

But Duan Xun himself is not sure if it will be useful.

After neglecting Yang Yongtai all these years, Duan Xun couldn't guarantee what Yang Yongtai thought.But Duan Xun is only giving Yang Yongtai a chance. If Yang Yongtai continues to neglect his work in the Supreme Committee, Duan Xun will really give up Yang Yongtai.

After all, Yang Yongtai is only 57 years old, which is the most mature peak time for politicians.If Yang Yongtai performs well in the Supreme Committee, then Duan Xun will definitely give him more opportunities in the future.

"Director Chen (Chen Bulei) serves as the director of my secretariat and concurrently serves as the chief of staff of the Supreme Council."

There is really a naked interest relationship between countries.

Germany, Italy, and Japan have signed the "Triple Alliance Agreement", and it seems that everyone will advance and retreat together.But after Germany attacked Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and World War II officially broke out.With Britain and France declaring war, Germany is already facing a situation of fighting on two fronts.

This is a very bad thing for Germany.

If Britain and France really attack Germany because of their alliance with Poland, it will be really difficult for Germany.When many historians study this period of history, they believe that Hitler made a wrong judgment and made a wrong choice.Based on some previous practices of Britain and France, Hitler judged that Britain and France would not really declare war on Germany, so he attacked Poland.When Britain and France declared war on Germany, Germany was very passive.

At this time, Germany needs the support of its allies.

Especially Italian and Japanese support.Italy needs to do something in the Mediterranean, and Japan needs to put pressure on Britain and France in Southeast Asia.Only in this way can the pressure on Germany be relieved.

However, as allies of Germany, neither Italy nor Japan participated in the war with Germany, and neither declared war on Britain and France.Including Japan, which has already taken action in Nanyang and the United Kingdom, is also watching the development of the situation.The two countries still have some fears about Britain and France, so they are watching how Germany fights.

Fortunately, Britain and France did not really want to fight Germany, and their troops just waited and watched from the Maginot Line.If Britain and France really have troops on the border and really go to war with Germany, then Germany will be under great pressure.Even Germany's operation this time will fail completely.Because Germany mobilized more than half of its troops to attack Poland, and the troops confronting Britain and France were less than half of the British and French allied forces.

At the most dangerous time, Germany did not get the support of its allies.

This is called an alliance.

Whether it was the First World War or the Second World War, a lot of various alliance clauses were signed between the world powers.But in the course of the war, casual abandonment of these alliance treaties abounded.

In this era, this relationship of interest is most naked.

For example, Italy and Britain and France were allies in the early years, but for its own benefit, Italy chose to ally with Germany.For the same benefit, Britain and France sold out their allies Holland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and now Poland one after another.According to the alliance treaty in the early years, there should have been war between Britain, France and Germany, including Italy.However, Britain and France were unwilling to get involved in the war, so they violated the contract they signed and kept selling their teammates.

This is an age when various treaties are considered to be waste paper.

This is an era in which peace treaties are signed today and war is declared tomorrow for the sake of interests.In Europe after the First World War, how many times did Hitler guarantee with Chamberlain and Daladier that Germany would not start a war.But Hitler will launch a war in a few months, and then promise Britain and France that Germany loves peace.Up to now, Germany has already attacked Poland and started a complete war with Britain and France.

The same is true for Nanyang.

In order to maintain the stability of Nanyang, Britain and France held three consecutive Far East Conferences, each of which was able to sign a peace agreement.Japan is also a pledge every time.But what about the result?

Japan abolished the agreement of the Far East Conference three times within two years, and successively won Sulawesi, Irian Island, and Kalimantan Island.

This is the current world, the naked interest relationship, the naked era of the jungle.In order for Germany and the Soviet Union to fight, Britain and France also hope to see Germany and Poland lose.So I watched Germany attack Poland regardless.

Unfortunately, the result was unexpected.

Germany shocked the whole world in a few strokes.Poland is a big country, and its strength is not weak at all.When Germany began to attack Poland, Poland also quickly began to organize its own army.

Poland is not weak, and nearly 5000 cannons were mobilized alone.In the current world, there are not many countries that can mobilize 5000 cannons in a short period of time.Even if it is for China to mobilize 5000 cannons in a short period of time, it is not easy.But Poland not only mobilized 5000 cannons, tanks, and aircraft, but also quickly mobilized 140 million troops.

Many British and French generals believed that Germany would suffer heavy casualties if it attacked Poland.They are all gloating, hoping that Germany and Poland will lose both, so that Hitler will no longer be able to threaten Britain and France.

It's a pity that I guessed wrong.

Facing the Polish army, which has more troops than itself and cannot be said to be poorly equipped, Germany completely solved Poland in a devastating manner.Powerful Poland was taken by Germany within a month.The German blitzkrieg completely overwhelmed the Polish army. The Polish army seemed to have good weapons and equipment and a large number of people, but they had no idea how modern warfare was fought.Of course, Poland's rapid defeat was also related to the fact that the Soviet Union sent troops to take advantage of the fire.

Germany was completely unexpected by Britain and France, and easily solved Poland, which made Britain and France completely at a loss.

But even so, Italy and Japan are still paying attention to the development of the situation, and have no intention of declaring war on Britain and France.At this time, Duan Xun was about to form the Supreme Committee, so the Supreme Committee slowly began to enter the working state.After the Supreme Council was on track, Duan Xun called a meeting of the Military Council.

Because World War II has begun.

Duan Xun is waiting, waiting for the real war between Germany and Britain and France.Duan Xun will not take action until Germany completely defeats the British and French troops on the European continent.Duan Xun knew that this day would not be too far away, so Duan Xun became more and more concerned about the military affairs.

"Have you seen the war in Poland?"

"Yes."

"Tell me, what do you think? How did your staff summarize it?"

"Chairman, our staff department has done some analysis and deduction on the intelligence feedback from the Polish war. The most obvious thing about this war is that the armored force has completely become an independent military branch and can complete a battle independently. Before everyone When studying tanks, many people think that tanks are just a supplement to infantry, and tanks should assist reinforcements. But this Polish war is very obvious. Germany completely regards armored forces as an independent service, and uses armored forces to directly attack The enemy does not give the opponent a chance to react at all. The armored force has great advantages. Apart from other things, the biggest characteristic of the armored force or the mechanized force is its very strong mobility. When the two sides confront each other, if the role of the tank is used well , It is entirely possible to specifically attack the weak points of the opponent's defense when the opponent is not fully prepared. Germany's use of armored forces this time has many similarities with the use of cavalry by nomads in the cold weapon era."

"In addition to the armored forces, the Germans also showed a lot of completely different tactics in terms of the coordination of the air force, tanks, and artillery this time. Of course, their own German officers are not familiar with this set of tactics, so The German army also made many mistakes in this war. However, many of the tactics and tactics they demonstrated will definitely affect future wars.”

Xu Yongchang did not speak.

Instead, Liu Fei, director of the Operations Department of the General Staff, summed up the conclusions of the General Staff.

For the Polish campaign, the most in-depth summary is definitely China.Because China is the first country in the world to establish an independent armored force, and it is also the first country in the world to separate the armored force as an independent service.Duan Xun started to form China's own armored force more than ten years ago, and then began to deduce various armored tactics.
