France and Italy were both A Dou who could not be helped during World War II.

Therefore, the World War II in Emperor Song Biao's memory was largely the British-German War, the Soviet-German War and the US-Japan Pacific War, and these three wars were the main part.

Today's World War II is obviously much simpler, it is a war between the British and French forces against Germany. Before that, the Soviet-German War and the Sino-Japanese War had ended early.

Faced with Germany that conquered the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, it is really doubtful whether Britain and France still have the courage to continue to resist.

On the morning of the day when he received Liu Gengyun's call, Emperor Song Biao took the time to play a game of mahjong to relax. After lunch break, he returned to the General Office to handle official duties. After reading Liu Gengyun's letter, he felt that the mahjong was in vain and his mood continued to decline.

Deputy Foreign Minister Jiang Zuobin's mediation in Europe was not effective, and the Empire's warning to Germany did not seem to be effective. Italy was planning to attack Tunisia, a French colony in Africa.

Italy has been coveting this land for a long time.

During the Roman Empire, they once conquered the Carthaginians who were dominating here, and now they still want to reshape the glory of ancient times. Soft persimmons are easy to pinch, and Italy also knows this truth, so they are not in a hurry to find trouble for Egypt and Ethiopia. It is definitely a good plan to start with the French colonial first.

Soft is relative.

France is a soft persimmon compared to Germany, and Italy is a walnut compared to Italy. Italy's attack on the French army on the southern front is not good, but it is actively planning to attack Spain and Tunisia.

The Chinese Empire and Italy are really mortal enemies, so Italy doesn't care about the empire's warning to Germany at all. It also wants to fight Spain and destroy Spain and France, so that Italy can turn the Mediterranean into its own inland sea. Such a plan is of course very majestic.

With nuclear weapons in hand, Song Biao didn't care about the situation on the European battlefield, but if France could not hold on for half a year with the support of such a large scale of the empire, it would be really troubled to him.

The Empire has many interests in France.

Song Biao had no choice but to generate electricity for President Paul Renault of France and asked France to respect the suggestions of the Chinese military advisory group.

After a little thought, he called the Prime Minister's Office and asked Prime Minister Gu Weijun to meet him in the Central Palace immediately.

During the period when Prime Minister Gu Weijun arrived, Song Biao, as the emperor, had nothing else to do. The empire is indeed actively preparing for war, but has made up its mind to solve the problem in a nuclear war.

As the monarch, Emperor Song Biao did not have much official duties to deal with during this period. He sat in the office and thought silently.

World War II was very troubled, but the people who really should be troubled were Chief of General Staff Jiang Fangzhen and Prime Minister Gu Weijun. Emperor Song Biao felt that he could take some time to prepare for a new life. He had begun to feel unrestrained by this kind of emperor-like life.

The reason why he insisted on this is because the Constitution stipulates that he must perform the duties of the emperor.

If he disappeared from this empire, the empire would still continue to operate, but it only needed a new emperor without much power to ensure the inheritance of the empire in the constitutional monarchy and the symbolicity of this central authority.

He is just a sculpture of this empire.

During this period, Emperor Song Biao wanted to learn to play golf. He wanted to relive the old days of riding horses and riding on the grasslands in the northern grasslands, and wanted to return to the northeastern dianzi and watch the sunrise and sunset and ordinary life.

It was just because of the urgency of this war that he did not leave Beijing and insisted on performing the duties stipulated by the law in his job.

For him, it was just a job, and he had done almost the same thing he wanted to do in the past thirty-five years.

Like others, he should have his own retirement life.

He believed that after the war was a suitable retirement time for him.

He is not the kind of person who desires power and a luxurious life, or he is no longer that person. Now he hopes to live a dull and rich life and no longer be so laborious.

Soon, Prime Minister Gu Weijun came to meet him in a hurry.

After seeing Gu Weijun, Song Biao did not rush to say anything, but invited Prime Minister Gu Weijun to accompany him for a walk in the garden of Cizheng Garden.

This surprised and hesitated Prime Minister Gu Weijun. He probably had to deal with too many government affairs and he was too busy.

Emperor Song Biao didn't mind, so he stood up with his cane and said to Gu Weijun: "It doesn't matter. As long as you come here, the old gentlemen in Congress will definitely think you are talking about important matters. Even if you stay for a day, no one will question you because of this."

Gu Weijun smiled bitterly and replied: "The emperor's sage is respected by me."

In the past month, he has indeed worked harder than anyone else. He wished he could spend 38 hours on work every day. He had to start working at 5 a.m. and not go to bed after 12 p.m.

Song Biao has heard of this and is very grateful to the Prime Minister.

Once upon a time, in the memory of Emperor Song, Gu Weijun was such a free and talented young hero. He served as secretary and chief of the inner court. Now time has passed by, and the young man he appreciates has entered the later stage of his career, with gray hair and fat body.

Walking on the way to the Cizheng Garden, Song Biao asked with concern: "Is life in the Prime Minister's residence very tiring?"

Gu Weijun nodded and admitted, and replied, "That's when I seem very busy during this period, I'm usually fine."

Song Biao nodded slightly and asked, "Are you satisfied with the newly built mansion last year?"

Gu Weijun replied: "That's satisfying, and it's time to ride the bus back and forth."

Song Biao chuckled.

The Empire had no clear concept of the Prime Minister's Mansion during the Tang Shaoyi period. After the establishment of Kyoto Prefecture, the new central government official building was rebuilt. Because all local residents had been demolished and there were no other commercial or residential residents in the area, there was enough space to build a central avenue specifically, and the road was on both sides of the imperial central government agencies.

At this time, Ouyang Geng did not consider setting up a Prime Minister's Office at that time, but established the Cabinet Office and the State Council. The Prime Minister and many other important ministers were concentrated in the Cabinet Office Building, the State Council Working, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture and Education, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Land and Resources. They all live next to the Cabinet Office Building and are all on the same street.

Central Avenue also has some commercial institutions and teahouses, cafes, and taverns. If you drink tea and coffee here, you will encounter senior officials at the level of cabinet ministers at any time.

During Gu Weijun's cabinet, he finally considered establishing a special Prime Minister's Office. Behind this proposal, he also hoped to further strengthen the Prime Minister's authority. At first, he was firmly opposed by the Restoration Party because the Restoration Party was in power for a long time, and the power of the Central Cabinet was actually divided up by various factions.

It was not until Emperor Song Biao came forward to support him and recruited the Central Palace to give a speech one by one. It was finally designated to build the Prime Minister's Mansion in the southwest area of ​​Central Avenue. This was previously the jurisdiction of Central National Park. A piece of land was drawn from the east side of the National Park to build a new Prime Minister's Mansion. Opposite was the administrative building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defense, and on the east side of the Prime Minister's Mansion was the administrative area of ​​the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources.

The location is pretty good.

It was just completed last year and spent 28 million yuan on the budget. The underground security center is located below 60 meters deep and can withstand nuclear bomb attacks.

Gu Weijun said he was still very satisfied. Of course Emperor Song Biao wanted to laugh, so he joked with Gu Weijun: "This is a gift for me to give you the third term of office."

Gu Weijun immediately replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Song Biao was not in a hurry to mention the matter in France. When he arrived at the bamboo forest path in Cizheng Garden, he asked Gu Weijun first: "What's the situation in Japan?"

Gu Weijun replied: "Hyuhito is still unwilling to give up the throne. On the surface, it is a high-sounding word, but it is still making small moves behind it. The people from the General Administration of Intelligence have placed eavesdropping devices there, and they are basically exploring them clearly. Wang Zhaoming is still trying to deal with this matter. In addition, the other matters have been handled almost completely. Prime Minister Mine Hiromasa is still mediating for this, and proposed a compromise method to make Hirohito abdicate, choose a new heir from the Japanese royal family, and strictly restrict it in the new constitution.

The authority of the new emperor. Japan means that if the empire agrees to this matter, all the conditions of the empire can be agreed to Hokkaido and the compensation. Wang Zhaoming wants to agree, but I don’t agree. As for the Hokkaido matter, Japan actually has no room for negotiation. They cannot make any waves on this matter. My proposal is that if Japan agrees to suspend the Emperor system, the compensation can be reduced at the discretion of the compensation, but it is just a statement. In the end, it should not be reduced, it is just an extension of the repayment cycle."

Song Biao nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "The problem over there needs to be more and more quick to resolve, and we cannot continue to delay it."

Gu Weijun agreed and replied: "Japan is just talking about a problem now. It is nothing more than that once the Japanese Provisional Government withdraws from the peace talks, Japan will be in chaos. We will be alone in Japan and face a large number of Japanese national uprisings. Mine Mitsumasa specially sent me some time ago, saying this is the truth. It makes sense. In fact, it is just a threat to us with the lives of tens of millions of Japanese citizens. Emperor Hirohito felt that Wang Zhaoming was more close to them and had a good attitude towards him. These days have been visiting him in person. He said nothing more than these words. He felt a little sorry for the people and cherished the people, and he would inevitably suffer from the lies. After thinking about it for a few years, he did not give any written reply, so that Wang Zhengting, who was in charge of the negotiations, could not help but convey my answer to Emperor Hirohito and Mine Mitsumasa."

Song Biao was curious about Gu Weijun's remarks and asked, "How do you answer?"

Gu Weijun replied: "I said, if you Japanese emperor and prime minister do not cherish the lives of the 60 million Japanese citizens and threaten us with them as shields, we will definitely not cherish them."

Song Biao applauded and praised: "It's OK."

Gu Weijun said: "In fact, they can't hold on for long. The Japanese economy has now fallen to the bottom, which is even more difficult than before Meiji's maintenance. One-third of the population relies on imperial relief food to live like a year, and the other 2/3 cannot be said to be a home for food and clothing. The media is basically under our control, and they constantly criticize and expose Hirohito and other Japanese royal family members' responsibilities for this war. Whether it is Minumasa Minuta or other Japanese war criminals in detention, as long as we have enough evidence in our hands, they will be published. Wang Zhaoming has made a trick. If we need relief food, we must receive a weekly magazine, which will be in various prefectures and towns in Japan.

The city, as long as there is electricity, it will be broadcasted, and radio broadcasts are also used. Repeatedly, according to the current survey data, the proportion of Japan's continued support for the emperor system has dropped from almost 100% to less than 60%. Let's take a look at one reason: If the Japanese emperor and royal family members do not incite this war, Japan will not be so poor now. I also told Minumasa Minuta that as long as the ultimate support rate is less than half, we will not have any negotiations on the emperor system, and will directly send Hirohito to the Seoul court for public trial in the international world. He will not give up until he is disgraced and has been detrimented for thousands of years."

Song Biao agreed very much, saying, "This is what we should do when dealing with these people. We must let Wang Zhaoming strengthen the publicity of a democratic and legal society, let the country make targeted films and organize some open-air projection teams to show the Chinese people's past life and current life, show prosperity and prosperity, show strength and technology, and show targeted advantages in military, technology, and humanities education, so that the Japanese people realize that the propaganda they heard and saw in the past are fake. They brainwash the people, so we will anti-brainwash them. If they do not cooperate in Japan, there will always be someone to cooperate. If it really doesn't work, support the Japanese Soviets to come up and do something."

Gu Weijun thought silently for a moment and said, "We have never weighed the idea of ​​supporting the Japanese extreme left before."

Song Biao said: "Support, strongly support, don't be afraid of something happening. Just be afraid that there will be no accident in the future. Just use the extreme left to attack Japan's extreme right and do it well. After that, you can also let Japan live a good life with the Soviet people."

Gu Weijun was surprised by this very creative idea and was stunned for a few seconds before answering: "Okay, I'll make a plan after I went back, but I was worried that Wang Zhaoming would not agree."

Song Biao said: "Just say it was my idea, let him think clearly. We can't take care of that much now. If Japan's affairs cannot be handled properly by March next year, it will be too late for us to solve Nazi Germany later. Once Germany unifies the entire Europe, it will first go south to conquer Africa. We will cause trouble for them at that time. It will be hard to stop fighting an unprecedented war in the end."

Gu Weijun nodded and said yes.

Song Biao said at this time: "Liu Gengyun generated electricity from Paris and was very unfavorable to France. If he thought that if it was fast, France would fall into a state of destruction before the end of the year, and it would be around March next year."

Gu Weijun was shocked and asked, "So quickly?"

Song Biao said, "It's not so fast. If France is not a drag, do you really think the military headquarters will ask for the interruption of formal military alliance with France? This is their own fault. What can we do? Let's support more Britain in the future."

Gu Weijun sighed: "In order to stabilize the domestic economy, Chamberlain just lowered the pound exchange rate by 40 before the war. In addition, he lost control of the Asian colonies, and his national strength has been greatly weakened. Britain is now very dissatisfied with France. The country is even more planning to re-elect Winston Churchill as the interim war prime minister. It is beneficial to let Churchill take office. This person is tough and anti-Nazi, so he will not compromise, and there are also disadvantages. He is also gritting his teeth and hating us."

Song Biao said: "Then we must support Britain, one is Britain and the other is Spain. If we can't stand these two points, the situation will be difficult to deal with."

Gu Weijun nodded and admitted, saying, "If Italy really wants to attack North Africa, what should we do? Will we declare war?"

Song Biao said: "Italy is not an opponent worthy of attention, but as the central government, you should warn in advance. If Germany attacks Spain and Sweden, Italy attacks Africa and Greece, and meets any conditions, the empire will definitely participate in the war, especially Spain. The empire has great investment interests in Spain, and Germany must never be allowed to get involved. If the French army really cannot stop it, let the French army withdraw into Spain. In addition, the empire still needs to send troops to Spain to prevent it."

Gu Weijun thought for a while and said, "If the government made a public statement, I am afraid that Japan will use this time to threaten it again."

Song Biao said: "Let them threaten them and tell them that the empire has enough time and energy to spend with them. Even if they have been talking for five years, the thirty army divisions have been under pressure in Japan, and the empire doesn't matter. If they are really stalemate, they will immediately change to a provisional government and allow extreme left forces to come to power."

Gu Weijun could only agree with these words and said, "I already understand in my heart."

Song Biao advised him: "Don't be too nervous. As long as we make up our minds, it is not difficult to deal with Germany. If we really declare war, we will prove the strength of the empire by fighting a few tough battles. Then we will send them collectively to the West to meet the Buddha. If a world war really needs to be fought to a certain extent, no weapon is used, and we will not have any moral burden. I am not afraid, if you are not afraid, then what else can you be afraid of."

Gu Weijun still paused his head silently, feeling relieved.

As long as the emperor is here, he will feel much more relaxed and will not even feel difficult to take a breath.

Yes, the Empire is indeed in the whirlpool of World War II, but as long as the Empire Emperor is still in Beijing, the 500 million citizens across the country are like eating weights, and they are very solid and stable. There is really nothing to be afraid of.

Even if the war really spreads to the empire, the empire will definitely win the final victory.

Who are you afraid of today in the empire?

After almost all the matter was discussed, Emperor Song Biao did not let Gu Weijun leave the Central Palace early, so he asked Gu Weijun to accompany him for a walk in the Cizheng Garden.

When they were having afternoon tea on weekdays, the two of them drank tea in the pavilion of Cizheng Garden. They inadvertently talked about the Crown Prince Yuhua who was serving in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In order to cultivate the next generation of emperors of the empire as much as possible, Song Biao and the cabinet tried every possible way. They are now arranging the Crown Prince Yuhua to take turns working in various cabinets of the empire and familiar with the operation of politics.

Starting next year, Emperor Song Biao plans to arrange Crown Prince Yuhua to serve as secretary-general next to the Speaker of the State Yang Zhaolin, and serve for one to two years to understand the characteristics of the parliament. Although when Crown Prince Yuhua ascended the throne, the empire had basically transitioned to the stage of constitutional monarchy and the emperor had little real power, it was no bad thing to have an emperor who was familiar with politics and military.

If there are party differences, or when there are very large military and political differences, it is most likely that the emperor will rely on the emperor to coordinate the two sides.

Given the wealth and influence held by the royal family in the empire, it is not realistic to implement a pure constitutional monarchy like Europe, and it is not realistic to completely deprive the emperor of any real power. After all, China has special circumstances for China.

When the two were talking about this, Gu Weijun remembered another thing and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that should be reported to you. A few days ago, Puyi went to the Advisory Committee in Tokyo to meet Wang Zhaoming. It is said that life is difficult to survive. If you want to return to China, the government will arrange your livelihood. Back then, before the empire pacified Beijing, it had a proposal with the Qing royal family in the previous dynasty that as long as they were willing to accept all the conditions, the empire would give the Qing royal family a preferential payment every year. He now mentioned this matter again and asked the cabinet whether it would still fulfill its promises."

Song Biao couldn't help but sneer: "A bastard, I have been going to Japan to cooperate with the Japanese's separatist policy for so many years. Do you still want preferential treatment now? I think I don't want to do so many troubles. It's annoying to let him come back. Give him some money, let him go abroad, or just stay in Japan to live."

Gu Weijun had his own ideas on this matter and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest allowing him to return to China and arrange a leisurely job to support his family. As for the preferential payment, it would be fine. He had been Japanese before, and it was unrealistic to pursue treason. However, it is still possible to pursue war crimes, so it is not complicated to prosecute him. Your Majesty will give him a special amnesty and deal with it magnanimously, which will also help appease Inner Mongolia and Manchu."

Song Biao pondered for a moment and said, "There is a reason for pardon. It is not appropriate to pardon for your own selfishness. Moreover, there is no need to cause social debate and division in order to deliberately show my magnanimity. Don't make it so complicated, give him a deposit, sign an agreement, and place him in a foreign country. Going to the United States is more complicated, so it is better to place him in South America or a small European country. Now that Europe is in a war, he most likely refuses to go, so let him go to Argentina. As for where he is going in the future, we won't ask more."

Gu Weijun nodded and said, "That's fine. I'm afraid his whereabouts are unknown. In the future, someone will say that Your Majesty is vicious and took the opportunity to deal with him in Japan."

Song Biao smiled and said, "Which dynasty founding emperor is not vicious? Let's go as you say. When these agreements are lifted in the future, everyone will naturally know how we deal with this matter. Maintaining domestic stability is what the imperial emperor and the prime minister should do. Don't care too much about other false names."

Gu Weijun nodded and admitted.

He just heard Wang Zhaoming call that Puyi lived a hard life in Japan and was not full for three meals. The cultural relics and antiques he carried when he escaped from the country had already been sold out. Wang Zhaoming was trying to find a way to take back the antiques treasured by the royal family of the previous dynasty, because a large part of them were taken away by members of the Japanese royal family, which was easy to find. Puyi was also actively assisting.
Chapter completed!
