Every great dynasty or country once had a great capital, just as London was to the British Empire, Paris to France, Chang'an to the Tang Dynasty, and Beijing to the Chinese Empire.

Beijing is a special capital, especially during this great imperial period of the Chinese Empire.

In terms of urban structure design, Beijing is definitely the most special capital in the world. But to be more precise, Beijing is a super-large city that governs the capital of the empire, and the real capital of the empire is Kyoto Prefecture, Beijing, in 1937

In April 2019, Kyoto Prefecture was also officially renamed Beijing Central Special District County.

The Central Special Zone is still just a Zhili county in terms of administrative specifications, equivalent to the standard of a county-level city, but it is indeed an impartial imperial political center with a population of about 600,000.

The most important economic industries here are the service industry and news industry, as well as the education and scientific research industry. Among the four most important national newspapers in China, three are headquartered here, representing the highest national institution in the country, the Central Imperial University and the Central University for Nationalities,

The Central University of Science and Technology, the Central University of Defense, the Central Academy of Arts, and the Central Military Academy are all located here, and the Central Academy of Social Sciences, the Central Academy of Sciences, the Central Academy of Engineering, and the Central Academy of Defense Sciences are also located here.

This is probably the county with the most concentrated high-knowledge talents in the world.

Central Government, Central Military Department, State Bank of China, State Administration of Intellectual Property, Central Bureau of Secrets, World Chinese Business Association, China Charity Federation, Chinese Red Cross Federation, China Education Association, Restoration Party Headquarters, Democratic Party Headquarters, Social Democratic Party Headquarters, Labor Party

The headquarters, Orthodox Chinese Pastoral Headquarters, China National Song and Dance Troupe, China Royal Opera House, and China Royal Opera Troupe are all located here.

Embassies in China from all over the world and headquarters of institutions in China of various countries and international political groups in China are also located here.

This is a brand new capital of the Chinese Empire.

This represents a prosperous and great era and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

It is precisely because the capital functions have been separated from Beijing that Beijing is not only the capital of the empire, but also has enough space to develop the economy and cultural industries, and combine it with the central special districts and counties to truly form the imperial capital of the Chinese Empire.

A great imperial capital that cannot be prosperous is unique in the whole world.

Beijing is the city with the most universities in the world, and it is all world-class universities. This is very special throughout the world. In addition to the four major national universities in the Central Special Administrative Region, Beijing itself also has Yanjing, Fu Ren, and Beijing.

Tsinghua University, Central International Foreign Languages ​​College, Tongren Medical University, Central Medical University, Central Normal University and other first-class universities, mainly national universities, while private universities are headed by Yanjing and Fu Ren.

Beijing is also the city with the most scientific research institutions in the world and one of the most preserved and most perfectly preserved ancient buildings.

Surrounding cities such as Beijing, Luanzhou, Tianjin, Baoding, and Xuanzhou, plus Tongzhou and Langfang, they jointly built the world's most prosperous industrial zone. Beijing is the center of this North China urban agglomeration, and it is also scientific research, education, finance and culture.

center.

In the past twenty years, the Empire has invested four times to repair the inner city of Beijing on a large scale, and built a large number of parks, attractions, expos, gardens, and historical buildings around the prosperous mansions of the past. By area

Carry out effective protection and repairs, and rebuild the modern infrastructure of the entire city based on this, build sanitation, electricity, communications and transportation systems, and rebuild Beijing into a garden square city around the ** Square, Zhongnanhai and the Forbidden City.

Baoding is the capital of Hebei Province, Luanzhou is the largest heavy industrial base and port base in Hebei Province. Beijing and Tianjin are all municipalities directly under the central government. Such a high-level urban cluster will naturally easily give birth to a world-class city.

group.

Over the past thirty years, the empire has also put extra effort into the key construction of Beijing to ensure that the city can truly represent the glory of the empire.

Many foreigners must go to Beijing when they come to China. In Beijing, an ancient and modern city, it can best interpret the power, prosperity, glory, advanced, modern and ancient empire.

You may not like China and oppose China's strength, but it is hard for you to not like Beijing, the imperial capital.

It should be the best city in the world, not even one of them.

There is a very famous far-right thinker in Japan named Shu Akira Okawa. This person advocates nationalism and Greater Asiaticism, and advocates that the Japanese Yamato nation is the best nation in Greater Asia. The Indian and Korean nations are second only to the Yamato nation, while the Chinese nation is only

Those who can be admitted to the fourth place are not in the market.

The Great Asianism he advocated was to require the Great Japanese Empire and the Yamato nation to resist the European and American powers, lead the entire Asia, and Japan establishes a new system to rule Asia based on the excellence of race.

This is actually the source idea of ​​the East Asian co-prosperity circle, which runs contrary to the idea of ​​leaving Asia and entering Europe that Japan advocated in the past.

This man had almost never been to China. In 1933, he planned a trip to China for the first time, starting from Lushun to visit the entire China. When he visited the main cities of the three eastern provinces, he felt that China's industry and

The economy is already stronger than Japan, but he insists that the Northeast is strong because of the support of European and American races. The Northeast is indeed one of the most international regions in China, with about 1/10 of the population coming from Europe, America and Russia.

It was not until the spring of 1934 that Shoming Okawa arrived in Beijing for a trip that he fully understood that the Great Asianism he advocated was simply nonsense.

Beijing is not the most modern and international city in China, because Beijing has a large number of Ming and Qing dynasties. In order to maintain the unity and harmony of the entire urban aesthetics, Beijing has always had strict regulations since the empire was established, except for churches.

Except for foreign embassies and a small number of specially approved buildings, all buildings can only adopt a reformist architectural style, and all buildings must not exceed 22 floors.

When the Far East Building in Zhendan County is as high as 103 floors and the Shanghai International Center Building in Shanghai is as high as 108 floors, the architectural style and levels of the entire Beijing are still retained in the style of reformism, and the city maintains a good relationship between modernization and traditional aesthetics.

The fit.

It is in such a city, in the capital city of this empire, that Sho Ming Okawa truly realized that China is the Chinese Empire after all. No matter how stubbornly discriminated against the Japanese, the Chinese are still the central nation of Asia and the profoundness of Chinese culture.

The level is never something that Japan can challenge.

This country is terrible.

It is not a peak country that other countries in Asia can surpass.

It was in such a city that Sho Ming Okawa realized that the Chinese Empire was not a target that Japan could challenge. Then, he visited many cities in China, Suzhou, Shanghai, Wuhu, Qingdao, Jinan, Xi'an, Fuzhou, Quanzhou,

Guangzhou... has left his footprints. He spent three years traveling to more than 40 cities and regions in China, while collecting intelligence for the Japanese military.

In the autumn of 1936, he returned to Japan after three years of separation, but immediately disbanded his right-wing organization Shenwu Society, and wrote an article in a newspaper that the only country that could implement Greater Asianism was the Chinese Empire, not Japan. As a result, he was therefore self-reliant.

student assassination.

This world is like this sorrow, joy and darkness.

This city is so ancient, exquisite, vast and magnificent, combining modern and traditional culture harmoniously to build a model work of imperial reformism.

Zhou Ming, Okawa, came too far to realize, and he died in a very tragic way.

The Great Japanese Empire was still unstoppable to the abyss of destruction under his past advocacy. On July 22, 1939, when the Chinese Empire was about to celebrate the 28th anniversary of its founding, the Japanese Showa Emperor was finally inspired by Prince Zairen.

The Japanese military headquarters' combat plan was approved.

Japan began the stupidest adventure in human history with the idea of ​​becoming a leader without success.

If Showa Emperor Hirohito had the opportunity to visit Beijing City, even if it was just a trip, he would be very likely to completely and resolutely reject this plan. Unfortunately, he never had such an opportunity in the future.

He has been to Europe and has lived in his palace since he returned to Japan, and no one has told him the truth about the Chinese Empire.

From the perspective of the imperial constitution, the imperial court chief was the only bureaucrat who directly served the emperor. The General Administration of the Inner Court was a central agency at the ministerial level, but did not belong to the central cabinet government. It was under the Secretariat, Finance and Economics Bureau, Secret Service Bureau, and Staff Bureau.

, the Bureau of Rites and Law and the Royal Academy of Sciences.

The Secretariat is responsible for handling internal affairs and daily official duties, is responsible for exchanging information with the central cabinet government, manages royal-funded social institutions and scientific research institutions, is responsible for conducting statistics and research on major domestic and foreign events, and is also the central organization of the General Administration of the Inner Court.

The full name of the Finance and Economics Bureau is "Neijing Financial Management Bureau", which is responsible for managing royal property and the Finance Work of the Neijing.

The Secret Service Bureau is responsible for ensuring the security of the royal family. The General Staff Bureau is responsible for coordinating exchanges with the Central Military Department to organize military intelligence and information for the emperor. The Bureau of Etiquette and Law is responsible for formulating royal court etiquette and presiding on spring festivals, temple sacrifices, clan and community sacrifices and other national ritual affairs.

The Royal Academy of Sciences is the most important royal scientific research institution, focusing on the pure theoretical research of natural sciences in physics and mathematics. It also presides over the world-oriented Royal Science Award of the Chinese Empire, focusing on natural science research, and is also responsible for evaluating first-class scientists in China.

and outstanding contributors to the field of scientific research, awarding four to five honorary academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences each year.

In addition to these five institutions, the head of the inner court is also responsible for assisting the emperor in the jurisdiction of the Central Secret Service and the Central Bureau of Investigation. The work of these two institutions is also extremely heavy. The former is responsible for a large number of special secrets in the country.

Research on scientific engineering, the latter is the highest authority in the country to investigate integrity and national conditions.

All these institutions, except the Royal Academy of Sciences, require absolute loyalty to the emperor, especially the General Administration of Investigation, must inspect various national security and corruption issues with absolute will to be loyal to the emperor, even cabinet officials and senior military officials.

The Prime Ministers of the Central Cabinet are within the scope of the inspection of the General Administration of Investigation, and the Prime Minister also goes to the General Administration of Investigation for an anti-corruption inspection every year.

It is precisely for this reason that Shu Fangde, as the chief of the inner court, can also be called the fourth prime minister, second only to the prime minister, deputy prime minister and foreign minister, and his work is naturally heavy, but from 9:30 to 45 am every morning, he

He should personally report to the emperor the work of the General Administration of the Inner Court, the Central Bureau of Secretariat, and the Central Bureau of Investigation. If there is no special reason, he should also report to the emperor the work of the cabinet and the military to the emperor in the place of the Prime Minister and the Chief of Staff of the Central Defense Forces.

During the days when the British special envoy was still visiting the capital of the empire, Shu Fangde arrived outside the General Office of the Central Palace very early in the morning and waited for the emperor. He could arrive early, but not see the emperor early.

Although Song Biao knew that something terrible would happen in the past few days, he still arrived at the General Office on time at 9 a.m. and read the daily state news minutes submitted by the Neijing Secretariat and several national reports on that day.

Sex newspaper.

It was not until 9:30 that Shu Fangde entered the office and saluted the emperor, and submitted the special intelligence compiled in the early morning to the emperor, saying: "Report to Your Majesty, according to reliable sources of information, the Japanese emperor may have approved the raid on our country.

The specific planning content and time are still under further investigation. According to the current estimate, it may be between the 28th of this month and the 2nd of next month, and the specific time is about 5:00 to 9:00 am."

Song Biao opened the intelligence book and looked through it. He didn't feel anything surprising. He asked Shu Fangde: "How is the preparations from the military headquarters?"

Shu Fangde replied cautiously: "Chiang Fangzhen's Chief of Staff and Chief of Navy Staff Chen Jiliang will report to His Majesty the preparations of the military headquarters to His Majesty at 10 a.m., and it is said that everything is ready."

Song Biao said simply.

Shu Fangde continued to report: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Korean Emperor's Special Affairs Minister, Mr. Kim Jong-hyun, had arrived in the Central Special District yesterday. This morning, Foreign Minister Guo Taiqi will meet him. According to his request, he hopes to meet His Majesty on behalf of the Emperor of the Korean Empire.

, submit a letter from the Emperor of the Korean Empire."

Song Biao said, thought for a while, and replied: "You take time to see him. If he is here to discuss the national physical education issue, you can tell him that the most important thing at the moment is to ensure the security of the North Korean country and to be able to keep peace with him.

Other member states join the Asian League with equal status. We should implement the republic system or the constitutional monarchy system. Our country has no prejudice and will not make any considerations for the time being."

"yes!"

Shu Fangde agreed and continued: "It has been confirmed that the King of Vietnam has given up his visit plan, but Queen Nan Fang of Vietnam will still visit on behalf of the King of Vietnam and the royal family. She hopes to receive his Majesty's reception!"

Song Biao replied without hesitation: "Although it is a bit rude, since he is a member of the Vietnamese royal family, then handle etiquette affairs according to the normal principle of visiting foreign royal families. Just arrange for about 40 minutes of talks. There is no need to do it too much.

She can be arranged to live in the Central Palace during her visit.”

Shu Fangdetton agreed first, and then reported some other matters in China to ask for opinions on handling them.

During this period, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are in a relatively severe flood stage. Fortunately, the domestic water conservancy project construction scale is large and the overall harm is not great. The cabinet has made a lot of emergency deployments, and the royal court will also give some of them in the near future.

The royal family donated to resettle local victims.
