Second, the world situation suddenly calmed down…

As the "London Treaty" has officially signed the third phase of the "Third Phase Reduction Plan and Supervision Rules" to fully destroy nuclear weapons by the previous month, and the last phase of work officially started, the world situation has been greatly alleviated, and even several American and European news media that have always advocated war have successively stated that the smooth implementation of the third phase reduction work will become the top priority for human peace.

When Tsai, no one dares to ignore the undercurrent under the appearance of peace.

On the past month and day, Pei Chengyi received the war plan submitted by Yuan Chenhao.

Because there is still an old day before the Spring Festival recess of the all-congress, Pei Chengyi did not rush to find Lin Muxun. Instead, after reading this not-so-detailed war plan in detail, he found Yan Jingyu on the moonlight day and reported the relevant work to the head of state. After the day, on the moonlight day, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Pei Chengyi called Lin Muxun and invited the chairman of the military committee to discuss the important matters at the deputy head of state's residence.

It can be seen from the timing that Pei Chengyi has no room for bargaining for Lin Muxun.

Of course, Pei Chengyi had to be more polite to the chairman of the Military Commission, so he asked Dongfang Wen to arrange a pretty sumptuous meal.

Unlike Yan Jingyu, Pei Chengyi doesn’t like to make tricks. This can be regarded as avoiding suspicion.

As usual, Lin Muxun was not late or early, and he arrived at the official residence of Head Lei just minutes in advance.

When the two met, they understood what the other person was thinking with just one look.

There is no need to say much about Pei Chengyi's idea. According to the agreement, he will introduce the war plan and let Lin Muxun enter the decision-making circle of the Republic, and then determine Lin Muxun's political status. Because it is restricted by confidentiality regulations and has been agreed at the barbecue dinner in the head of state, Pei Chengyi will not provide a complete war plan, nor will Lin Muxun leave the deputy head of state's residence with any documents.

For Lin Muxun, a war plan obviously could not satisfy his appetite.

In fact, more than a month ago, when Yan Jingyu proposed to postpone the war for a few years at the barbecue dinner and asked the Military Commission to give full support, Lin Muxun guessed the current situation. In his opinion, it was not Yan Jingyu who really wanted to postpone the war, but Pei Chengyi. The reason is very simple. As an ambitious and ambitious leader of a country, Yan Jingyu has no achievements worth boasting about and urgently needs to be famous in history through a war. It can be said that for innocent politicians like Yan Jingyu,

Because there are no other life problems, such as never short of money, have a high status wherever you go, and there is always a large group of people around you, so his greatest ambition is actually to keep his name in history and become a leader who respects everything. On this point, Ji Jueguo, Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing both did a very good job. Even Gu Weimin left behind the "green mountains and clear waters" that benefited millions of Republic citizens, and Yan Jingyu was in power for 7 years. Apart from the remnant, there is no merit that can be remembered, which is a big problem.

From this perspective, Yan Jingyu definitely hopes to lead the Republic to a great victory like Wang Yuanqing back then.

The problem is that the conditions and the current situation are not ripe.

From another perspective, from Pei Chengyi's standpoint, these problems naturally do not exist.

Although according to the current political system of the Republic and the second political reform that Yan Jingyu is vigorously promoting, Pei Chengyi may not be able to become the head of state by the year of the year. However, from the actual situation, after more than two years, as long as Pei Chengyi is willing, he will be almost 100% sure to become the highest leader of the country. In the eyes of many people, Pei Chengyi is not lacking in military achievements. It can even be said that in addition to the founding fathers, Pei Chengyi is the leader with the most military achievements in the history of the Republic. He assisted three heads of state and commanded the Republic's army to win a large-scale local war.

The problem is that in the next war, the Republic needs a national leader with military experience like Pei Chengyi. In a sense, this is the fundamental reason why Yan Jing, despite personal gains and losses, joined Pei Chengyi in Munian.

Being able to become the deputy head of state is enough to prove that Pei Chengyi is an ideal and ambitious leader.

In this way, when the country needs it, he will not avoid giving in or refuse, and will take on the heaviest burden as he does on the battlefield.

From this perspective, Pei Chengyi has enough reason to convince Yan Jingyu.

Of course, Lin Muxun could not have known why Pei Chengyi postponed the war.

As mentioned earlier, as the former chairman of Sanjian Group and the second chairman since Lin Yanbo, Lin Muxun’s understanding of the Republic’s military industrial system is even higher than that of Pei Chengyi. Therefore, he is also well aware of the Republic’s national defense office construction.

It can be said that there is only one reason why Pei Chengyi decided to delay the war, that is, the war preparations are far from being in place.

Although the Republic has increased its investment in national defense construction since the raging year. It even once regarded national defense construction as the number one major event, as a normal country, especially in a relatively sound legal system, unless the country enters a state of war, the central government cannot do whatever it wants. Although in recent years, national defense expenditure has increased year by year, and military expenditure has become increasingly large in the central government's fiscal budget, the gas used to purchase weapons is small; the fastest growing is the welfare of military personnel and the construction of basic military facilities. In the Republic's national defense expenditure, irrigation has returned to society in a variety of ways. If the expenses used for military scientific research are included, then the islands in national defense expenditure are used for military procurement, and only boron is used to purchase new weapons and equipment. Of course, this proportion is not low, but it is nothing compared to the procurement costs of the United States Gundam.

Of course, this strange military expenditure structure has to start with the real economy.

As mentioned earlier, as early as the New Year of the Communist Party of China, the global economy once again experienced overproduction. As an industrialist, Lin Muxun is more aware of the economic problems. In the final analysis, many countries led by the Republic and the United States have participated in too many regional wars and excessive abnormal spending, resulting in a sluggish consumer market.

Take the Republic as an example. According to data released by the Republic authorities, in the Secret year, government revenue accounted for approximately the GDP, which was equivalent to taking away half of social wealth. Although compared with the beginning of the century, the government revenue in the Republic accounted for about the GDP, and national wage income accounted for only a large amount of macadamia. In the era, the Republic had established the world's most sound social security system, and most of the government revenue was returned to taxpayers in the form of secondary distribution, that is, public welfare was returned to taxpayers. For example, in the Secret year's fiscal expenditure, the "three public" budgets of public pension, public medical care, and public education were as high as one trillion yuan.

It accounts for about 4 of the total government expenditure. If it is included in the expenditures used in scientific research, disaster relief, etc., public expenditure accounts for about 10,000 yuan. However, from an economic perspective, the significance of secondary distribution is far less obvious than that of a single distribution, and it will inevitably have an impact on economic development. More importantly, the Republic is a superpower with a population of more than ten thousand square kilometers and a population of 4,000 square kilometers. It is impossible for the Republic to establish a truly welfare society like the Nordic countries. For the Republic, strengthening the market system is the right way to strengthen the country. Therefore, the government must reduce its impact on the economy, that is, reducing taxes, so that the people can obtain more labor results, thereby promoting economic development.

From a certain sense, Lin Muxun asked Pei Chengyi to provide war plans. "It is not to make things difficult for Pei Chengzan, but to consider the country. In any case, as the chairman of the Military Commission, Lin Muxun's primary loyalty is not the leaders of the central government living in the head of state and the deputy head of state residence, but all the representatives of the general assembly, and the people who elected these representatives. Although Lin Muxun believes that with Pei Chengyi's talent and the capable and patriots of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic, it is impossible to come up with a complete set of war plans that can make people feel comfortable to watch. But before seeing such war plans, Lin Muxun must first put a big question mark and leave more thoughts.

It can be said that what Lin Muxun represents is the basic values ​​of the new generation of politicians in the Republic.

Before Li New Year, that is, Wang Yuanqing's era, few representatives had doubted Wang Yuanqing's decisions. Most of the time, the Plenary Congress was actually a ritualized institution. What they had to do was to make the decisions of the Head of State and the State Council legally effective through deliberation and voting. Before the old year, that is, Gu Weimin's era, because of a less successful war, he encountered trouble on many international issues. Therefore, the representatives of the Plenary Congress understood a very important truth, that is, the Head of State and the Prime Minister were ordinary people and would make some low-level mistakes. One of the major values ​​of the Plenary Congress was to prevent the mistakes made by the Head of State and the Prime Minister from having a significant negative impact on the country, and to use legislative power to keep the last hurdle. Now, what we pursue on our behalf is no longer independent thinking, but a responsibility, a responsibility to the country, the nation and the voters.

To put it narrowly, Lin Muxun must be responsible for the millions of workers who voted for him from Sanjian Group, Zhongzhong Group, AVIC Group, and many other groups.

In fact, Lin Muxun had been adhering to this principle for many times before this.

For example, in the review of the central budget in the year of drowning, Lin Muxun made a very important suggestion as the chairman of the Military Commission, that is, the proportion of equipment research and development and procurement costs will be increased from basic to substandard to ensure that several ongoing equipment projects can obtain sufficient funds. At that time, Lin Muxun only made one reason, that is, these equipment procurement projects are related to the vital interests of about 10,000 workers in many industries such as the military industry, resource industry, manufacturing industry, transportation industry, etc. If the budget is not adjusted, it will at least lead to the unemployment of workers in Liwan and the income of about 10,000 workers. This is exactly the case. During the deliberation stage of the plenary congress, many young representatives jointly supported and asked the State Council and the Ministry of Defense to adjust the allocation method of the defense budget. In the second year, Lin Muxun directly proposed to increase equipment procurement costs by increasing the defense budget to ensure that more workers can obtain job opportunities.

In short, Lin Muxun first considered the voters who supported him, not the government, or even the country.

In fact, if every representative does this, it will not conflict with the interests of the state. Theoretically, the subject of the state is the people, and the subject of the people is citizens with the right to vote, that is, the so-called voters. Therefore, protecting the interests of voters is actually protecting the interests of the state. Fundamentally, this is the basis of the democratic political system and the foundation of the democratic system.

From another perspective, politicians like Lin Muxun are the product of political reform.

It was exactly what Wang Yuanqing said when he was implementing political reform that the ultimate goal of political reform is to return what belongs to the people to the people, so that the people can gain the power to be masters of the country and become the real masters of the country.

What reflects the true meaning of this sentence is that the representatives of the people's election can speak from the standpoint of the people, rather than from the perspective of the country, nor is it about thinking about problems for the government.

If we must give a definition for representatives like Lin Muxun, their appearance truly proves the effectiveness of political reform. It can be said that only when these representatives elected by the people across the country can consider the people's well-being, the sadness and joy of the people, and use the power in their hands to fight for the people's interests, the political reforms that Wang Yuanqing has implemented throughout his life can be considered to have achieved results.

Of course, this progress, or this transformation, does not come at once, but gradually.

In fact, many representatives had done similar things long before Lin Muxun. Otherwise, during the period before this, the Republic would not have issued so many laws related to the people's livelihood, and so many laws were implemented and the interests of the people were protected.

In other words, Lin Muxun and others have only reached a new level.

To put it bluntly, it is that when it comes to major issues related to the fundamental interests of the country, as representatives gathered by the people's elections, they dare to question the decisions of the Head of State and the State Council, and they dare to let the Head of State and the State Council take responsibility. They dare to take on their due responsibilities for this.

This is definitely not a small step, another big step.

It is precisely because Lin Muxun attached so much importance to this matter and asked Pei Chengyi to give an answer that would satisfy him and many performances.

Similarly, Pei Chengyi realized this problem, so he was so serious.
