827 Nuclear bombs cannot scare the Soviet people 2
Seeing Mao ZD's gradually tightening eyebrows, Chang Ruiqing was a little strange. When he just said that the Soviet Union might have an atomic bomb, President Mao did not frown. Now the topic turned to the post-war cake sharing, why did he show a worried look?
"President, just say whatever you want." Chang Ruiqing thought for a moment and knew that what could make Mao ZD worry must be related to votes. Now the political game rule of the Greater China Federation is that power comes from the box. Mao ZD is the president under the responsible cabinet system. There is no need to worry about military and government affairs, and he can be a hand-off manager. However, he, who is also the chairman of the Zhongg Party, has to worry about the votes that are held in the hands of ordinary people. In the previous two rounds of elections, Zhongg's record was not very ideal, and the seats in the Federal Senate and House of Representatives have fallen below half! Although the joint venture between the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association and the National Socialist Party formed a coalition government, the political territory shrank after all, after all, the political territory shrank.
Many, as the trader who declared war twice, Mao Zd's prestige in the party was certainly shaken. If the election in 1940 was defeated again, Zhong G might have to change the chairman! However, what made Mao Zd even more helpless was that his party chairman, who needed to be responsible for the election loss, was not the prime minister of the responsible cabinet. The biggest factor in Zhong G's defeat in the two elections was the policies implemented by Chang Ruiqing's cabinet, and he, the chairman of the party, was powerless. For example, the issue of "spoil distribution" after the end of the world war has now become a new battlefield for the struggle between the four major federal parties, and some policies of Chang Ruiqing's cabinet are very likely to cause the resumption of Zhong G's votes...
Mao zd nodded slightly, obviously there were a lot of words to say to Chang Ruiqing: "Prime Minister. Many members of our party responded to me that the current voters generally have this idea, believing that we Chinese people have blood and sweat for this world war, and there were millions of casualties. And they... the contributions of the Japanese, Annan, Burmese, and Malays to this war are equal to zero. Some of them simply stand on the side of the enemy and are enemies with us. Why do you enjoy the same benefits of war as us in the future? Many comrades in our party mean the same meaning. This benefits of war can be distributed among our own people, so they, outsiders, should not participate..."
After nearly ten years of democratic elections, Mao Zd has been well aware of the tricks of ballot box struggle. To put it bluntly, it is "bribery" and that is, exchange interests for votes. In the past three general elections, there have been cases of directly bribing votes in many regions! However, this behavior violates the Federal Election Law after all. Once discovered, it is possible to lose the qualification of candidates, so it is not common. However, the act of fighting for economic benefits for voters represented by each person to win votes is completely in line with the rules, and it is even the main means of elections.
Therefore, in every election, candidates will bring out pots of "election beef" and draw one "election cake" after another to fool the voters. Of course, it is not a complete fool. More or less, it must be cashed out. To put it in the slogan in the British constitutional movement, which Lenin evaluated as "the first time widespread, truly mass, and political proletarian revolutionary movement in the world", it is that universal suffrage is equal to bread - "election beef" is often not cashed out, but "election bread" is always given to several.
In fact, the essence of democratic elections is a process or way in which the dominant bourgeoisie in capitalist countries makes concessions to the ruling proletariat in exchange for regime and social stability. The so-called "true democracy" never exists, nor is it a concern for capitalists or proletariat in capitalist countries. Because the essence of universal suffrage is nothing more than that of the bourgeoisie in capitalist countries seeking compromise with the proletariat to avoid the continuous intensification of class contradictions and eventually leading to a proletarian revolution.
Therefore, universal suffrage is completely unnecessary for a real proletarian dictatorship, but it is essential for capitalist countries like the Greater China Federation. Moreover, the Greater China Federation is not a true "bourgeois state" because China's "bourgeois revolution" only achieved political victory. But it did not achieve the final economic victory - China's capitalist system was only established in large cities with economic development and concentrated industry and commerce, and in the wider rural areas, the small peasant economy still dominated. After the generation of voters who received six years of compulsory education grew up, peasant voters, especially Han peasant voters, have become the main force of voters in the Greater China Federation!
However, Chinese peasant voters are no longer satisfied with the "permanent tenancy and recession" system that began to be implemented more than ten years ago. After all, the benefits that can be generated on a small piece of land are not enough to allow the lower-class Chinese farmers to live a life of food and clothing without worries. The long-term failure of farmers' lives is the biggest reason why China's GCD lost in the past two general elections. In the past, China's poor and lower-middle peasants (landlords and rich peasants support the Kuomintang) and the working class are both the basic bases of the GG. Now the votes from workers are still stable, but the votes of farmers have been continuously lost to the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang in recent years.
Among them, the Kuomintang proposed a proposal to reduce and exempt agricultural taxes in the parliament every now and then, which really defrauded many votes. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party were the signboard of militarism, claiming to win more land for Chinese farmers by opening up territory to improve the dilemma of large populations and small land, so that all farmers can live a prosperous life and win many votes for farmers.
At present, the world war is already in sight, and the territory of the Greater China Federation has expanded to an unprecedented level. Therefore, the four major federal parties have targeted the theme of the next round of elections to distribute the land snatched through the war of aggression. However, the leaders of the four major political parties took the map and studied for a long time and suddenly found a problem, that is, the Greater China Federation has grabbed a lot of territory, but there seems to be not much land suitable for cultivation, which is not enough to allow more than 500 million farmers of the Greater China Federation, including the original South Asian indigenous people and Soviet Japanese farmers, to obtain enough fertile arable land.
Therefore, the Kuomintang played the "national card" and wanted to win the favor of Chinese farmers who account for the majority of the population by depriving the indigenous people of the South China Sea and the original Japanese citizens of the country to participate in the distribution of war dividends. The National Socialist Party of China, which has always held high the banner of nationalism, immediately followed up and shouted similar slogans.
After listening to Mao Zd's introduction to the latest situation of the election and parliamentary struggle, Chang Ruiqing sighed softly and thought to himself. Mao Zd was smoking while staring at Chang Ruiqing silently. He knew very well the thoughts of the prime minister who had been in charge of the federal cabinet for more than ten years. Although Chang Ruiqing never mentioned Han chauvinism in public and had always implemented a policy of downplaying ethnic groups, he was actually the biggest Han chauvinist. He fought to turn Hu into Han and completely assimilate the abacus of all ethnic groups in the Greater East Asia. But how would Chang Ruiqing distribute the war dividends of the Greater China Federation? Mao Zd was difficult to guess.
The study was silent. During this period, Chang Ruiqing did not put too much energy on political parties, nor did he consider how to allocate war dividends. Moreover, he did not think it was necessary to allocate enough land for every farmer in the Federation - because there were too many farmers in the Federation, it was impossible for all farmers to have enough land. Besides, if every farmer had dozens of acres of land, who would he plan to sell the food he had planted? Moreover, after the war, the Federation needed to accelerate urbanization and industrialization. Federal agriculture should also follow the path of capitalist farms. It is by no means strengthening the small peasant economy.
"President," Chang Ruiqing looked at Mao zd solemnly: "The problems of rural areas and farmers are not just as simple as allocating land, but need to be planned from the height of the social development process. In fact, our permanent tenancy and recession system is a temporary measure that violates the laws of social development. At that time, it could indeed play a role in stabilizing society, but in the long run it was not worth much. Now we will soon get a large amount of land, and so much land is definitely a good thing for the entire Chinese nation. But if we just simply put it
If these lands are evenly distributed to farmers in small lands, it is very likely that a good thing will turn into a bad thing that hinders China's urbanization and industrialization. So on how to use these newly occupied land, the federal government must scientifically plan and formulate the most reasonable plan. I will say hello to Zhang Junmai and Jiang JShi, and this topic will cool down soon. In addition, I hope that after the victory of the war, a meeting attended by representatives and experts from all walks of life can be held to develop a comprehensive plan for national modernization and western territorial development."
"Prime Minister, since you think so, I won't say anything extra, but now China is the main ruling party of the coalition government after all, and the votes of hundreds of millions of Chinese farmers make us sit in this position. Therefore, we must not forget them when formulating policies, otherwise we will be abandoned by them, and at the next election." Mao zd said goodbye to Chang Ruiqing after saying this.
When Chang Ruiqing stood up and sent Mao Zd out of the study, he saw Zhao Zhen, Jiang Baili and Sun Yuexun chatting in the waiting room. When Chang Ruiqing and Mao Zd appeared, the three of them immediately stepped forward to greet him, but they all saw that Chang and Mao seemed to be worried, and there was no smile on their faces, but on the contrary, they were very serious.
Sun Yuexun accompanied Chang Ruiqing to deliver Mao Zd to the door. When Mao Zd's car drove to the exit of the official residence, she whispered to Chang Ruiqing: "Sir, the president seems to have some worries. Is it because of Trotsky's reception with the Soviet nuclear physicist?"
Chang Ruiqing shook his head, turned around and walked into the official residence building. Sun Yuexun hurriedly followed him and walked a few steps. Chang Ruiqing suddenly whispered: "You Gongrong will not interfere within three years. Can you give it to the Kuomintang?"
Sun Yuexun was slightly stunned. Although the South China Federation is still under the control of Japan, the GCD, the Kuomintang and the Gongrong Association of Greater China are ready to rush in to grab territory after the war. The conditions of the China Democratic Party and the Gongrong Association are more favorable than GCD. Although the nature of China G and Japan G are completely different, they are always GCD. The people of the Nanyang Islands have suffered enough Japan G, so they will naturally not get close to China G. If the Gongrong Association withdraws again, the Nanyang Islands will be the dominant one.
"Yes, sir." Although I didn't know why Chang Ruiqing was going to do it, Sun Yuexun agreed without hesitation.
Chang Ruiqing did not explain, but then asked Sun Yuexun: "Xiaomei, I came to the official residence today for the nuclear fission bomb? Will Gongrong want me to bomb Japan with nuclear fission bombs?"
"Yes, sir." Sun Yuexun replied in an inaudible voice.
"I agreed." Chang Ruiqing raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. "If you have nothing to do, just stay in the official residence for the night. I'm going to talk to Zhao Youlin and Jiang Baili about something. Go and talk to Ruonan and ask her to get some food to deliver to the study."
After giving the order, Chang Ruiqing strode into the study. Zhao Zhen had already spread a situation diagram of the Sino-Soviet battlefield on the desk. Jiang Baili held a stack of documents in his hand. When he saw Chang Ruiqing come in, he handed over the document and said, "Prime Minister, he has negotiated with Gorene to pay a portion of our debt with a ton of uranium-235 with an abundance of more than 93%. He also exchanged some key technologies. The most valuable of them are jet engine and rocket engine technology, including drawings, samples and technical patent authorization. In addition, the Germans also want to transfer the drawings of the Bismarck battleship and the technology of the 380mm and 420mm battleship naval guns to us..."
"No." Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "The closing night battle may be the last battle of the main ships in human history. After this world war is over, the world of submarines and aircraft carriers will be at sea... By the way, do Americans want our uranium-235?"
"I haven't heard of it, why don't I go and test it?" Jiang Baili said.
Chang Ruiqing shook his head: "No need. I guess the Americans have come to the UK."
"British Churchill isn't afraid of the Germans turning against each other?" Jiang Baili said with a frown.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhao Zhen took over the topic and said with a smile: "You might be afraid before this nuclear fission bomb came out. Now, haha, if Hitler dares to force the British, the British dares to use the nuclear fission bomb to die together with Germany!"
"The trouble in Europe is definitely greater than our Greater East Asia, and it is probably enough for the Germans to integrate for ten or eight years." Chang Ruiqing took the documents in Jiang Baili's hand, looked through a few pages and placed them in the corner of the desk, and then turned his attention to the Sino-Soviet battlefield situation map. "Do you want to bomb Krasnoyarsk with nuclear fission bombs?" He asked, pointing to a city with a red cross on the map.
"Well, I'm going to bomb there with a nuclear fission bomb." Zhao Zhen said: "Krasnoyarsk is the largest stronghold of the Soviet Red Army on the Siberian battlefield. It has been built into a fortification area within a radius of more than ten kilometers. There are at least 500,000 troops stationed. If you want to attack for a strong force, you may have to suffer hundreds of thousands of casualties before you can succeed. Therefore, the General Staff recommends dropping two to three nuclear fission bombs there."
"Why did Baku make a fork? Could it be that he also needs to bombard it with a nuclear fission bomb?"
"That's right," Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Now the Persian oil fields have been occupied by the German army, and Baku and Grozny have become the main oil collection sites of the Soviet Union. Among them, Baku is the largest oil industry center in the Soviet Union. If it is bombed with a nuclear bomb, the Soviet mechanized forces will soon be unable to supply oil."
Jiang Baili, who was standing aside, added: "The Soviet Union's thermal power plants burn oil. As long as Baku is blown away, the Soviet Union's power supply will be reduced by at least 50%. Without electricity, even if the Russians built an isotope separation factory, they would not be able to operate."
"How many nuclear fission bombs are being thrown in Baku?"
"Two."
"That's 5." Chang Ruiqing looked back at Jiang Baili: "Do you know how many Germans are going to throw?"
"Of course I don't know the specific one." Jiang Baili replied: "It is estimated that Hitler and Gorene didn't think about it. Although the possible explosion power of a nuclear fission bomb was calculated before, it was theoretical data after all. No one knew the real effect of this thing without live ammunition testing? It was impossible to formulate a plan to drop a nuclear fission bomb."
Chang Ruiqing nodded. What Jiang Baili said was indeed the truth. The theoretical data is one thing, but the actual effect is another. Hitler and Gorene are not time travelers, so of course they don’t know how powerful the atomic bomb is. Didn’t Nazi Germany in history really make great efforts to develop the atomic bomb? You must know that the nuclear fission phenomenon was scientifically seen by Germany at that time.
With a clamor, the door of the study was pushed open, and Sun Yuexun walked in with a spring breeze on her face, shouting: "Good news! Good news! The Japanese Front has sent a good news!"
"What good news?" Chang Ruiqing looked back at Sun Yuexun. Sun Yuexun walked in with a tray full of pastries. After putting the tray on the coffee table beside him, he took out a telegram translation from his shirt pocket and handed it to Chang Ruiqing: "Sir, the 5th Armored Cavalry Division of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Army and the 2nd Marine Division of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Army had just broken through the Japanese Red Army's Igawa defense line and broke into Kitakyushu city. In addition, the 110th Division surrounded by Imari City, the 111th Division and the remnants of the 112th Division have also been completely crushed! Kitakyushu is about to be pacified."
It was indeed good news, but as expected, Chang Ruiqing looked at Sun Yuexun and found that she seemed to have something to say, so she asked again: "Xiaomei, is there anything else?"
