Chapter 77: Moving the Capital
On the 2nd day of the year of Chuanjiang, after discussions, the General Assembly of the Republic voted on the Conventional Military Force Control Agreement of Chuanyazhou, Sheung Holm, and was finally approved by Zhaoji's support rate.
Because the day before, the Military Committee of the Plenary Congress voted to pass the "Supplementary Agreement on Implementation Methods for the Control and Verification of Conventional Military Forces in Kalinin, China, the United States, Russia and France" Because the signing location is in Kaliningrad, Russia, it is also called the "Supplementary Agreement on Military Control of Kalininin. In addition, the US Senate and the House of Representatives passed the Stockholm Agreement on Kojima on Kojima on Kojima on Kojima. Other countries adopted the agreement one after another before this, so Kojima was considered the anniversary of the formal entry into force of the agreement.
In fact, this day is not worth remembering.
In the afternoon of the same day, after participating in the voting work of the plenary congress, Pei Chengyi did not return to the deputy head of state’s residence, but went to the head of state.
Although Yan Jingyu was also a representative, he did not participate in the afternoon voting work.
Pei Chengyi seemed very calm on the way to Yun and the capital.
In the eyes of outsiders, since Pei Chengyi became the deputy head of state, Yan Jingyu has rarely been involved in national defense and security affairs. It seems that he has thrown all the relevant work to Pei Chengyi and develop the economy with peace of mind. The actual situation is not the case. After the New Year of the Chinese New Year, Yan Jingyu focused on two things, one was the political reform mentioned above, and the other was the issue of capital relocation that attracted much attention from the people of the whole country.
Relatively speaking, the latter is more urgent.
As we all know, when we were working hard, the Republic formulated a basic strategy to actively prepare for war.
When formulating this strategy, the leaders of the Republic must consider one thing, that is, whether Beijing, as the capital, has the ability to assume the capital's responsibilities during a full-scale war. It is not that Beijing's geographical location is not good enough, after all, in the face of many strategic weapons, the impact of geographical location on security is minimal. It is not that Beijing's strategic defense is not strong enough. The Republic's national strategic defense system was originally built around Beijing, deployed in the Northeast, North China and Hetao regions, all protecting Beijing. It is not other factors that affect Beijing as the capital during the war, but Beijing's overly large population base.
You should know that in a total war, both sides of the war can basically be said to be doing everything they can.
Not to mention whether the United States has formulated a war plan specifically for domestic conflicts in the Republic. As early as four, that is, before the Second Anghma War broke out, Wang Yuanqing, then head of state, instructed the then head of state, Li Cunxun, the then military intelligence director, to formulate a secret war plan specifically for domestic conflicts in the United States, that is, during the full war, it would use various unconventional means to weaken the American war power. Although the Military Intelligence Bureau never admitted that there was such a war plan, according to some information disclosed by Western news media, the plan did exist. Moreover, after Libienian's Syria-Israeli war, it was regarded as the number one task of the Military Intelligence Bureau and entered the stage of actual combat deployment. In other words, by the second year, the Military Intelligence Bureau would definitely have the ability to create unrest in the United States and other potential hostile countries to weaken the war power of the enemy.
Mu Yong doubted that the United States must have similar war plans.
As early as the year, the head of a regional intelligence agency that defected to the Military Intelligence Agency disclosed to the Military Intelligence Agency that before the end of the Indian War, the US authorities integrated intelligence resources with the Four as the core. At this time, a war plan specifically targeted domestic conflicts in the Republic. According to the information disclosed by this person, after the war broke out, the US intelligence agency will take advantage of the Republic's incomplete democratic political system. It will use the people's dissatisfaction with the government and the conflicts between ethnic minorities and Han ethnic groups to create turmoil, forcing the Republic's authorities to spend more energy on domestic issues and unable to devote all their strength to foreign warfare.
From this perspective, Beijing is indeed not an ideal place for the capital.
Not to mention anything else, it is very difficult to make a city with a population of 10,000 in a special period to operate normally.
In the year, in the argument before the establishment of the capital's relocation work group, the State Council commissioned the Military Intelligence Bureau to conduct computer simulation tests on the capital's security work and social order in special circumstances. The results show that as long as a full-scale war breaks out, the country enters a state of total war, that is, distributes daily necessities and trades in the decoration market. Even if there is no deliberate attack on social order, the cost of maintaining a normal state in Beijing is very high.
It can be said that this is not only a problem that exists in Beijing, but a problem that exists across the country.
You should know that during the last World War, the population of international metropolis such as New York, London, Paris, Pairin, Moscow, and Tokyo was only about 40,000, and there were only a handful of cities with a population of more than 240,000 at that time.
Even so, cities such as Moscow, Palin, London, and Tokyo were severely damaged in the war, and there was serious panic, and a large number of urban populations flocked to rural areas outside the countryside.
If a world war occurs again, cities with a population of tens of millions will collapse.
According to the results of computer simulations, during the whole war, the power required to transport food to a city with a population of tens of millions is much more than the power required to transport the same food to an old city with a population of millions. Although the population effect of cities can be greater in peacetime, in wartime, crying means wasting valuable war targets,
In fact, before that, the Republican authorities had this understanding.
The National Infrastructure Planning and Construction Law passed by Li in the old year clearly stipulates that the infrastructure of any city can be developed by a century of development in the planning stage, that is, it is planned according to the requirements of one hundred years of use. "The new engineering quality standards are formulated. In the reunion year, the State Council of the Republic, in conjunction with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Social Sciences, and more than four enterprises and civil groups made a comprehensive and in-depth prediction of the national development. The final conclusion was that "after the four, that is, the year of gravity, the total population of the Republic will exceed 10,000, and the urbanization level will reach more than 20%. The city size will increase overall based on the urban area, and it will be calculated according to this. In the reunion year, it is still a population of only 10,000. During the reunion year, the total population of the Republic will be increased by 20%. The city size will increase overall based on the urban area, and it is calculated according to this. In the reunion year, it is still a population of only 10,000.
By the year of gravity, cities will become large cities with a population of one million, and the urban population density will increase by more than twice. In this way, when the infrastructure of small cities in the reunion year is established, sufficient margin must be left. In terms of urban underground pipeline systems, the capacity of the pipeline system that provides 40,000 people living and producing is at least twice the capacity of ten thousand people. More importantly, by the time of the reunion year, because the aging problem of the reunion has not been properly resolved, the number of urban population in the reunion is not much greater than that during the reunion year. Therefore, most cities have sufficient margin for infrastructure. In other words, if war breaks out, many small and medium-sized cities in the reunion will assume the important task of "diversion".
That's why there are two voices within the Republic on the issue of capital migration.
In the eyes of many people, there is no need to move the capital for the sake of war. In any case, after the war broke out, the Republican authorities could set up a capital accompanying capital, or use the convenient conditions during the war to evacuate the population of Beijing waiting for large cities to surrounding small and medium-sized cities, which would reduce the pressure on large cities. The biggest advantage of doing this is that it is low cost and will not have an impact on daily economic construction.
Of course, the majority of people advocate moving the capital.
The key is, will the war suddenly enter the highest state?
Although in the eyes of many people, as long as the Republic goes directly to war with the United States, it will definitely be a world war. However, many people still believe that the possibility of the Republic going directly to fight a world war with the United States is not high, especially after the Secret Year of the Middle East War, almost everyone believes that World War III is a gradual development war. In this way, in the early stages of the war, the Republic authorities have no reason to let the country enter a state of total war, and there is no reason to evacuate residents of big cities. To be serious, without the war authorization, the government has no authority to force evacuate residents of big cities.
The problem is that not evacuating does not mean that the problem of big cities no longer exists. After all, during the war, increasing military consumption will have an impact on other fields. It is impossible to continue to maintain a normal life and production method, and material loss must be reduced. From the perspective of material utilization, the loss problem of big cities, especially super-large cities is very serious. It is very unfavorable to the war.
Of course, there is still an invisible impact on the issue of moving the capital.
In Yan Jingyu's words, if a escort capital is set up during wartime, the first thing to consider is the morale of the military, rather than how much resources can be saved by doing so. In any case, most soldiers and citizens will not consider the issue of moving the capital from a cost perspective. As long as a escort capital is set up, most people will think that the potential of the Republic's war has reached its limit and cannot bear the huge amount of war consumption. It is unlikely that the final victory will be achieved.
From this perspective, instead of considering the issue of moving the capital after the war breaks out, it is better to take action before the war breaks out.
It is precisely because after the election of the year, Yan Jingyu increased his attention to the capital migration work.
In early August of the year of Kou, Yan Jingyu, as the head of state, announced that he would directly lead the daily work of the "Capital Relocation Coordination Committee" and required the State Council to come up with a detailed plan for the capital relocation before the end of the year. By the end of the year, the State Council submitted the capital relocation plan according to the plan, which clearly mentioned that the capital relocation work must be carried out in steps. After selecting the address of the new capital and completing the first phase of construction, the administrative department will be transferred first, and then the head of state, the official residence of the deputy head of state, the central military command organization, embassies and consulates of various countries, private institutions, etc. In the year of the year, after internal discussions and the support of all members of the "Capital Relocation Coordination Committee", Yan Jingyu formally gave Jiao Mianshan, who was appointed as Premier of the State Council, was responsible for the site selection and first phase of the project planning of the new capital.
One person has to be mentioned here, that is, Jiao Mianshan, who replaced Yan Shanglong as Premier of the State Council.
Although everyone knows that Wang Yuanqing's ability to make a name for himself is inseparable from his experience as Ji Youguo's secretary, no one thinks that Jiao Mianshan, as Wang Yuanqing's chief assistant, can achieve the same achievements. In fact, Jiao Jishan is an administrative talent and does not have the ability to become the commander of the country. Because after the election of the new term in the Hannian period, Jiao Jishan got the opportunity to perform, and his special relationship with Yan Jingyu, so when Yan Jingyu was nominated for him to serve as the General Secretary of the State Council in Kunnian, he was nominated by him as the General Secretary of the State Council in Kunnian.
When he was aware, he was not opposed. By Kunnian, Yan Shanglong, who was aged in his terror, had also reached the age of retirement. As early as the sixth time, Yan Shanglong proposed that Ye Zhisheng or Shuai Yongkang be appointed as the General Secretary of the State Council, Mu Li, was appointed as the second line or the chairman of the Political Consultative Conference. Because Yan Jingyu's foundation was not solid enough at that time, he did not adopt this suggestion and insisted that Yan Shanglong be appointed as the Premier of the State Council. In the city, Yan Jingyu was able to serve as the head of state in the year of the artillery, which was closely related to Yan Shanglong's support.
In general, Jiao Jishan can be considered a member of Yan Jingyu.
According to outside comments, in addition to Pei Chengyi, Jiao Jishan is the most capable assistant around Yan Jingyu. And it is very likely that Yan Jingyu valued the most. After all, Pei Chengyi comes from the army, and Yan Jingyu has no much connection with the army. When he reused Pei Chengyi, he must keep his hands on it.
No matter what, Jiao Kuishan is a person who does practical things, and his administrative ability is unquestionable.
In April of the island year, Jiao Banshan submitted a detailed plan for the site selection of the new capital to the "Capital Relocation Coordination Committee".
Because the capital relocation involves major national interests, Yan Jingyu submitted this plan to the Plenary Congress just after just week. At the end of June 2019, after more than two months of discussion and deliberation, the Plenary Congress finally approved the second plan, that is, the new capital will be located in the Shennong area on the junction of Hubei, Chongqing and Shaanxi, focusing on the north bank of the Yangtze River and the south bank of the Han River, and building a modern medium-sized city with a population of about 10,000 and a superior ecological environment.
At this point, the first step was finally taken to move the capital.
At the end of that year, the geological investigation was over. Jiao Banshan personally submitted the first project code to the "City Relocation Coordination Committee", which mentioned both the project schedule and the project budget. According to the plan submitted by Jiao Weishan, the first project with the purpose of relocation of the central administrative department will be used for the time being, and the cost of 10 yuan. However, Yan Jingyu felt that the progress was too slow, and some details in the plan seemed too conservative. For example, the latest scientific research results were not used in urban road construction, that is, three-dimensional transportation was still mainly based on traditional roads. In this way, when the regulations were approved, Yan Jingyu made a significant modification and increased the investment to Zhengzhou Yiyuan, and the project time was shortened to 3 years. Finally, it was extended to 4 years from the "City Relocation Coordination Committee". The first batch of relocated were not only the administrative units of the central government, but also the head of state and the deputy head of state residence.
Because the plenary congress has been authorized, and the mid-year plan was already passed when the plan was issued, it was not submitted to the plenary congress for deliberation. It was not until March of the Lihong year, that is, after the Spring Festival, that Yan Jingyu sent the already launched plan to the plenary congress. No matter what, it involves Feizhou Yiyuan, among which the yuan is a huge project, and it is a project led by the central government, and it must be supported by the plenary congress, otherwise it would be illegal construction.
The problem is that the central government's fiscal budget is already huge enough.
You should know that in the island fiscal year, the fiscal budget deficit of the Central Political Lu of the Republic is close to one trillion yuan, which is equivalent to the annual fiscal budget. In normal times, such a high deficit rate is enough to cause any government to collapse, and even in abnormal times, such a high deficit rate cannot last too long. What's more serious is that according to the development law of the fiscal budget after the Litian year, the budget deficit of 4 years will only be more or less. In other words, compared with the budget of the Republic, the additional expenditure of RMB is nothing, and it can also make the representatives of the Congress feel painful.
That's why the approval work continues from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. There is still no conclusion.
It does not mean that the government is spending money indiscriminately. Instead, in the fiscal budget passed in July 2018, the deficit ratio once again exceeded the outside world's predictions. The burden on the country is already huge enough that any unnecessary expenses have been cut. There is no doubt that in the eyes of many people, the hundreds of billions spent on the new capital is definitely not worth it.
In fact, it was just for the purpose of moving the capital. Yan Jingyu threw other work to Pei Chengyi.
From Pei Chengyi's standpoint, he didn't want to let this matter go. The reason is very simple. Yan Jingyu and Jiao Jianshan were very determined on the issue of moving the capital. Therefore, before receiving the support of the plenary congress, the construction work began, and the preliminary project funds were misappropriated from the additional military expenditure of the Ministry of National Defense. Because the military settlement work will start from March of each year, before March and day of the previous year, if the plenary congress still does not approve the capital relocation funds, the military expenditure will be insufficient, and there will definitely be problems.
In Pei Chengyi's view, the problem will be solved soon.
In any case, most people know the importance of moving the capital and admit that it is necessary to move the capital. The main reason why the delay in approval of the gui Ge is the issue of interest distribution. After all, there is only one capital. Not all representatives of these regions can benefit from it. This is also the fundamental reason why Yan Jingyu and Jiao Jishan "take action first and then report. It is also the reason why Yan Jingyu expanded the scale of the project and shortened the project time. With the full launch of the construction work, there is no possibility of the capital relocation address changing, so the representatives who blocked the plan will naturally change their attitude.
Of course, this is not the point.
Compared to the threats brought by war, moving the capital is just a small matter.
