Chapter 173 Presidential Election
After Li Tiancheng returned, he immediately held a military meeting in accordance with the arranged plan. At the meeting, the decision was made to reorganize the Southern ** Army and the entire Zhenguo Army troops. At the same time, it was announced that the Zhenguo Army Air Force was established. Although there was no available fighter jet at this time, the preliminary planning and deployment planning work had begun.
At present, helicopters are only the army aviation force and are under the command of the army. However, the Aircraft Research Center will gradually launch several fighter jets and bombers. Within a few years, the development of aircraft will be greatly accelerated, and the Air Force and the Navy have become new focus of development.
The meeting also announced the plan to reorganize the Zhenguo Army, breaking up the original organization and adopting the three-three system, so that the troops can be divided into more battalion-level units and performing more scattered combat tasks during wartime.
The so-called three-three system consists of three squads and one platoon, three platoons form a company, three platoons form a battalion, and so on. However, this is only a basic division, not an absolute number of personnel. More reinforced battalions, regiments and other units can be temporarily organized to form combat troops under unified command. For example, a regular regiment has only three battalions of about 1,500 people, but some regiments can be temporarily expanded to more than 2,000 people. During the later War of Resistance, the Eighth Route Army once had a regiment recruitment of 5,000 people, even exceeding the number of people in a brigade.
The weapons equipment of the troops will refer to the standards of the People's Liberation Army in later generations. For example, a standard howitzer battalion equipped with 122 mm howitzers is eighteen. The number of light and heavy machine guns, sniper rifles, and mortars equipped by other established troops will be carried out in accordance with the standards of later generations. The construction of armored and motorized and mechanized troops is also under the plan. The training projects and work and schedules of the troops will also follow the PLA. The ranks and positions are divided into similar methods, but the rank patterns on the shoulder bars will be slightly different.
In addition, the total number of the army will be adjusted to save expenses. In order to save money, the number of the army will be controlled and maintained at a scale of less than 100,000. However, the number of reserve troops must be more than 100,000. In addition, the more than 30,000 people of the Inner Guard Security Force under Zhang Zhenwu's leadership is also more than 200,000.
Usually, regular troops with 100,000 people are mainly used, and the equipment and training of the reserve troops are poorer. The funds will focus on the development of the navy and the air force, focusing on the development of air force fighter jets, bombers and other aircraft types. The navy focuses on the construction of aircraft carrier battle groups and submarines that have not yet become popular at this time. The specific work will be passed by Congress after the founding of the country.
The establishment and specific work of various departments such as finance, diplomacy, and education are in full swing. Taxes in the fourteen provinces will be collected uniformly. Li Tiancheng's original factory is still private property, and most of the new industrial projects will be funded by the state's finance. Li Tiancheng will take out most of the technology and hand it over to the state for free, and the state will pay for the development and investment of these projects.
In terms of education, relying on the super education system provided by Li Tiancheng for free, popular education will be carried out simultaneously in fourteen provinces. The state will compulsory education through legal form. Education in high school and college adopts a scholarship system. Poor students will enjoy more scholarships to help them complete university education. The entire education will basically implement a free system. In addition to paying certain management fees necessary for school operations, students will be exempted from other book fees and tuition and miscellaneous fees.
Some universities such as Shanghai Fuxing University, Nanjing University, Wuhan University, Guangzhou University, etc. will be gradually built in the provincial capital cities of each province. Each city will build a large-scale teaching park with a radius of dozens of square kilometers. Primary and secondary schools and university education will be carried out separately. There is a clear separation between university parks and primary and secondary school parks to facilitate management and education according to age levels.
Industrial development plans are also the top priority. The machinery, electronics, energy, chemicals and other industries have new plans, among which the electronics industry will become the focus of development. The just-in-the-start electronics industry will achieve great development and will be a key area for national capital investment. Research on key electronic computer projects will be launched soon, and a series of new plans for the electronics industry will be released soon. With the foundation of the electronics industry, new equipment such as radar, missiles, artificial satellites will appear one after another, and TV, computers, and the Internet will be launched one after another, and the country will face a new development period.
With the close attention of all sectors of society, December 25th finally arrived. Li Tiancheng and Sun Yat-sen were fully prepared and slowly walked into the newly renovated parliament building in the eyes of the crowd. The spacious and bright parliamentary hall was brightly lit, and more than 200 members of parliament from each province were already seated. The governors and chairman of each province were one of the members of parliament. Their names will be changed to governors after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the military-governors and political separation system will be realized. The governors will no longer hold military positions. However, the governors and presidents of provincial governments who need to stay in the army will step down and the candidates for governors will be appointed.
The candidates for governors of each province will be passed by the newly established parliament. First, the provincial registration list will be issued to the presidential palace. After the president signs and agrees, the president will nominate the candidates to the parliament. If the president does not agree to the candidates reported by the local government, he can directly nominate the candidates to vote in the parliament. After the approval, the president will sign and grant the formal appointment letter and qualifications. The provincial government seal will be responsible for the appointment and promotion of local officials in each province. Provincial units will implement the parliamentary system and form provincial parliament members to perform functions similar to parliament. However, in terms of personnel, the governor is still nominated. Without the signature of the governor, officials cannot be nominated.
Under the frequent flashes of the reporters' cameras, Sun Yat-sen and Li Tiancheng quickly entered the gate of the parliament hall, and the sound of two sonorous footsteps came from the granite ground. Then the members who had already waited stood up one after another, and thunderous applause came from the venue. Except for a group of special correspondents, other reporters stayed outside the government building to wait for the election results. The special correspondents could only wait in the living room outside the door. After the election, they would be allowed to enter the interview and take photos.
There are soldiers from the guards standing guard around the government offices. People entering the government must be searched to do a good job of security and security. Party members of both parties are also looking forward to the final result of the election in their respective positions. The outside world is ready to welcome the first president of the United Democratic Republic of China. People are excited and excited.
Li Tiancheng and Sun Yat-sen walked into the front row of the campaign seats specially arranged for the candidates. Speaker Song Jiao-ren then walked up to the rostrum from the passage beside him, stood on the stage and began to clear his throat at the members below. He looked at the two candidates with a meaningful look, saw the calmness and nature on their faces, and then prepared to start a speech.
"Everyone, please calm down. Today is the day for us to hold the presidential election. The comrades of the Democratic Party and the Kuomintang will use their own hands to represent democratic votes and vote to elect the first president of the United Democratic Republic of China. This is an exciting historical moment. It is a day when countless Chinese people look forward to it and wait for countless spring and autumn. The United Democratic Republic of China will welcome its first leader. The newly born leader will lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country, work wholeheartedly to build a prosperous, civilized and democratic new China, and continue to continue and develop the five thousand years of Chinese civilization in the world and realize the Chinese nation's take off again." Song Jiaoren waved his hand to the surging congressmen below with great excitement, and then said to everyone with excitement.
After saying something, the applause was thunderous.
"Now we warmly welcome the two candidates to come on stage to deliver campaign speeches one by one. In terms of seniority, we will first invite Mr. Sun Yat-sen to come on stage to deliver a speech. Please applaud and welcome everyone."
Thunderous applause sounded again in the venue. The rostrum of the parliament was located directly in front of the rostrum. All the members were located below the rostrum. Standing on it, you could face all the members of the parliament. The pair of hot eyes were staring at Sun Yat-sen who came onto the stage. According to Li Tiancheng's proposal, all the members of the parliament, including Li Tiancheng and Sun Yat-sen, were wearing Zhongshan suits. Everyone was in a straight navy blue Zhongshan suit, which looked both energetic and energetic.
Sun Yat-sen's expression was a little excited, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, standing on the stage for several seconds without speaking. Warm applause came from the audience again. Sun Yat-sen waved to the audience and then began his campaign speech.
"More than ten years ago, I launched the first anti-Qing uprising in Guangzhou, and the uprising failed quickly. Then, like a devil, I launched more than a dozen uprisings in China, and each ended in failure. Countless martyrs sacrificed their precious lives during the uprising process. Today, I want to proudly announce to the world that ** has finally succeeded. With the founding fathers like Mr. Li Tiancheng and the joint efforts of countless comrades, the country is finally about to be established. I am extremely excited here." Sun Yat-sen said enthusiastically.
"As one of the presidential candidates, I, Sun Yat-sen, thinks I am qualified. If I am elected president, during my administration, I will vigorously promote the development of various social undertakings and promote the reform of various social systems, including education, industry and agriculture... I will use my greatest efforts to bring the country into a track of rapid development."
Sun Yat-sen began to gradually enter the theme, and from several different aspects, he explained his ruling propositions in turn and some of the policies and guidelines he was preparing to implement. Most of them were not much different from Li Tiancheng's concepts. However, in terms of education and opening up, Sun Yat-sen emphasized some conservative concepts. For example, regarding the sex education proposed by Li Tiancheng, Sun Yat-sen expressed his disagreement and refused to allow minors to involve sexual-related educational content, rather than the civilized and open educational concepts advocated by Li Tiancheng. On the issue of opening up to the outside world, Sun Yat-sen refused to enter the Chinese industrial field, emphasizing the need to use the national power to control all industry and commerce and reduce the degree of opening up to the outside world.
However, in terms of industrial development, Sun Yat-sen did not know much about the industrialization path of later generations, so he proposed a relatively conservative development plan and did not mention it in detail. Because Sun Yat-sen knew very little about Li Tiancheng's super education system, he could not make detailed arrangements for specific plans. This point he obviously could not formulate detailed long-term development plans like Li Tiancheng.
Regarding the super education system, Li Tiancheng had published the basic information to the public a few days ago. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted high attention from home and abroad. Fortunately, Li Tiancheng did not throw out the advanced technical concepts such as nuclear technology and stealth fighter inside. In that case, the whole world would think that he was a strange species from aliens.
However, after Li Tiancheng announced the virtual education system, it has caused a huge earthquake around the world. Once this system is released, it will subvert the education model that has lasted for thousands of years worldwide. The way of educating students will be completely changed by teachers orally and teaching them. In China, virtual teachers will replace real teachers to carry out school education. This will be an unprecedented great initiative, and everyone is shocked, except for those who have already learned the secret.
Then the teachers in the 14 provinces felt that they would face unemployment and felt pressure. The books they had read for most of their lives would become useless. The knowledge they had mastered would be found in the super education system at any time, and they would be completely replaced by virtual people. But Li Tiancheng then announced that the schools he established needed a large number of managers, and these old-fashioned teachers would be given priority to the school to carry out student management work, so that those teachers could have new jobs, so as not to be unemployed and therefore dissatisfied with the government.
Li Tiancheng did not publish the detailed knowledge data that the education system can provide, and it is even more inconsistent with high-tech such as nuclear technology. He did not mention it at all. In the future, those technologies involving national defense sensitive fields will be subject to special confidentiality education and only students from national defense-related universities will be allowed to study. These students will be subject to confidentiality management and their personal freedom will be subject to certain restrictions to avoid the leakage of key technologies.
However, ordinary civilian technology can only protect its rights and interests by applying for patents.
Therefore, the emergence of this super technology is like a dream for Chinese people and scientists from all over the world. They cannot completely accept this fact for a while. If it were in later generations, this matter would definitely be no less than the sudden appearance of aliens. This is a cross-age technology. For people in the world, most people probably never even thought about the emergence of such technology.
Sun Yat-sen also had the same feeling, not only shocked, but he felt a little incredible, and then slowly accepted the facts. He now knew that Li Tiancheng's success was inseparable from his extraordinary abilities, but also closely related to this magical system...
