The reign of Kaiyuan's capital, Li Cunxun, did not return to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but went directly to the air force base.

Half a year ago, Li Cunxun did not consider retirement. After all, he was only a big year and was very energetic. Not to mention working in the New Year, even if he worked in the Old Year, it would not be a problem. After Pan Yunsheng's death, Li Cunxun's thoughts changed a lot. Although he did not clearly state that he would resign after the government's change, he had been explaining his work to Liu Xiaobin for several years, and he planned to let Xiaobin perform well in the Military Intelligence Bureau for several years.

After talking to the head of state, Li Cunxun did not reconsider this issue.

As the head of state said, the Republic is in an extremely critical period. In addition to a strong leader, it also needs a "staff officer" who can help leaders make major decisions. There is no doubt that the Director of Military Intelligence is the most important "staff officer" around the leaders of the Republic.

As a participant in political and military reform, Li Cunxun is very clear about the situation in the next few years.

During the old years when Wang Yuanqing was in power, the political reform of the Republic steadily advanced the thugs, from the initial grassroots democratic election to the provincial representative democratic election. Although Wang Yuanqing has not announced the specific plan for the next round of political reform to the public, as a participant in the reform, Li Cunxun knew very well what Wang Yuanqing was going to do. During the election of the new term, Wang Yuanqing not only had to step down from his position as the head of state, but also left a rich political wealth to the next head of state like Ji Jieguo back then, that is, to formally promote national universal suffrage, reform the plenary congress and the political consultation conference, and establish a democratic parliament that belongs entirely to the Republic.

This step is very critical. It can be said that it determines the ultimate success or failure of political reform.

According to the reform plan formulated by Wang Yuanqing, the Republic will establish a democratic parliament at both internal and external levels. The Political Consultative Conference is an outer parliament, and everyone can run for election regardless of party or identity. The plenary congress is an inner parliament, and only once there are party representatives can run for election. The two-layer parliament is a regionally produced in the form of universal suffrage. Only when the public is recognized and supported can it be qualified to enter the highest legislative body of the Republic.

The specific plan for universal suffrage is still being revised. Because the main person in charge is Gu Weimin, Li Cunxun does not know much. According to some of the situations Li Cunxun learned from Wang Yuanqing, universal suffrage must be carried out in regions, that is, the number of seats should be determined based on the population, economic scale and other factors of each province. There is less than a month before the convening of the general congress, and the specific plan for universal suffrage is still not determined, mainly several tricks and the proportion of each factor has not been determined. For example, Wang Yuanqing believes that the area of ​​each province should be calculated, while Gu Weimin believes that there is no such thing.

It is necessary, after all, the area of ​​the province cannot represent the population, the economy, or the resources. It is just an empty number. For example, Wang Yuanqing believes that population should be regarded as the first element and accounts for the proportion of hoe among the factors that determine the universal suffrage. Gu Weimin believes that the population should not be set so high, and the maximum proportion of the miscellaneous. Because the universal factor is closely related to the interests of each province, the chairman of the provincial congresses participated in the formulation of the plan and also had different opinions. This is a problem that is difficult to adjust but must be reconciled, and debate is naturally inevitable.

In Li Cunxun's view, the contradiction between Wang Yuanqing and Gu Weimin is actually a contradiction between idealism and realism.

Fundamentally speaking, Wang Yuanqing is a politician who is very idealistic but proficient in realistic means. According to Wang Yuanqing's idea, the general element is people-oriented and brings democracy to a new level. Gu Weimin is not not taking care of democracy, but is just more realistic. After all, it is not only public opinion that embodies democracy, but also objective factors such as economy, culture, and resources. It can be seen that there is no essential difference in Wang Yuanqing and Gu Weimin's understanding of political reform, but they have different views on how to implement it, that is, in terms of means. According to Li Cunxun's understanding, Wang Yuanqing will definitely make concessions in the end because Wang Yuanqing can only give in in the face of reality.

No matter what, the political double revolution has reached a stage where one can only advance but not retreat.

As the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Cunxun could not understand this truth. As long as universal suffrage is determined and implemented, political reform will achieve a decisive victory. What we need to do next is to give the people enough time to gradually understand and become familiar with the democratic system. It may take several years or even hundreds of years, but when the basic system is guaranteed, political reform will sooner or later achieve the final victory. On the contrary, political reform will inevitably suffer a crushing defeat, and the groups that have been captured in the reform will inevitably counterattack fiercely, turning the efforts of the leaders of the three generations of republics into vain.

Li Cunxun is not a politician, but he would not allow such a thing to happen.

This also shows Wang Yuanqing's long-term vision. Among the many leaders of the Republic's top leaders, they have the least ties with interest groups. The one who can promote political reform is definitely Li Cunxun. As the Director of Military Intelligence, Li Cunxun has enough influence and even has a decisive role. That is to say, no matter who is the next head of state, as long as Li Cunxun is still in the Military Intelligence Bureau, as long as Li Cunxun unswervingly supports political reform, Wang Yuanqing's political fruits can be preserved. At least within the year, no one can change the direction of political reform. After the year, as universal suffrage is gradually accepted by the people, even if someone wants to change the future, he has to ask whether the citizens of the Republic agree. Ba Ren Bashan, Milk Skin Factory sues for new blocks, and Xiao Basketball staff for more small basketball staff.

It’s not that Li Cunxun doesn’t understand this truth. It’s just that he thinks this task is too arduous.

Of course, the difficult thing is not just political reform, but also the third military island political reform that began just month ago, military reform has received more controversy.

When Wang Yuanqing implemented political reforms, almost everyone knew that the backward political system had become the main factor that obstructed the Republic's progress. Political reforms had reached a point where they had to be implemented. Therefore, political reforms received support from most people, especially the general public. Relatively speaking, when Wang Yuanqing proposed the third military reform, the supporters and

.

Compared with the previous two military reforms, the main opponent of the third military reform is the army.

This is a difficult question to understand, because the main supporter of the first two military reforms was the army. If you look at the facts aside, you can find that the beneficiary of the first two military reforms was the army. To be precise, it is a soldier who hoped that the Republic would become stronger. The third military reform proposed by Wang Yuanqing not only did not benefit the army, but even made many soldiers believe that it would seriously weaken the Republic's military strength.

Is this really the case?

Li Cunxun is also a soldier. However, he does not believe that military reforms have weakened the military power of the Republic.

Of course, all this has to start with the Indian War.

The Indian War is the most beautiful large-scale regional war since the founding of the Republic. Although the outstanding performance of political and military decision-makers such as Wang Yuanqing, Xiang Yinghui and Pei Chengyi played a great role, the strong combat effectiveness of the Republic's army is the key factor in winning the Indian war. At the end of the year and at the end of the war, Li Cunxun was a little unbelievable. In less than half a year, the Republic's army defeated India and occupied the entire territory of India. You must know that before that, even Wang Yuanqing believed that at least a thug was needed to defeat India.

The outstanding performance of the Republic's army on the Indian battlefield made Wang Yuanqing firmly believe in the military reform

It seems illogical. After all, the Republic's army performed so well. As the leader of the country, there is no reason to launch a military reform of disarmament. If we look at it from the perspective of the country, we can understand the fundamental purpose of this round of military reform.

For a country, the army is the fist used to deal with the enemy.

There is no doubt that the bigger the fist, the better, because if you want to exert the power of this fist, you must have a strong body.

For a country, the body is the "soft power" that determines the country's comprehensive strength, such as economy, science and technology, culture, politics, diplomacy, education, etc., which determines the country's comprehensive strength. If the country is compared to a boxer, because the overall "quality. Limited, the bigger the fist, the smaller the body. When the two are disproportionate, the power of the fist cannot be exerted, and it may even drag down the body and make the boxer weak.

Wang Yuanqing's third military reform was to control the size of his fist and keep more nutrition in his body.

Mu Yong doubts. In the long run, the Republic will sooner or later disarmament and control its military power. This book is about to be repatriated, and members collect and pay tribute.

Wang Yuanqing only implemented the third military reform after the Indian War, which was also closely related to the actual situation of the Republic.

Before the Indian War, all efforts of the Republic were directed at the surrounding areas. To be precise, it was to establish a surrounding environment that was more conducive to the development of the Republic. It can be said that starting from the Kingdom of Kiyo, the three leaders of the Republic were working hard for this. The Fourth India-Pakistan War, the East China Sea War, the South China Sea War, the Peninsula War, the Japanese War, and the ending Indian War were all for this purpose. After defeating India, the Republic basically did not have any surrounding threats, at least in the short term, there was no need to over-consider security.

From the perspective of the international environment, with the acceleration of international nuclear disarmament, the basic pattern of the Republic when the United States competes for hegemony, and regional powers such as the EU and Russia have been formed. In the foreseeable future, the strategic threat to the Republic is minimal. It can even be said that within the next year, the Republic does not have to consider a full-scale war with a certain major power.

From this we can see that the complete destruction of nuclear weapons is itself the end of the game between the Republic and the United States

.

For the Republic, it takes a year to solve the problem of population aging. During this period, the Republic will try to avoid conflicts with major powers, at least not face-to-face conflicts. For the United States, it takes a year to develop high-tech technologies, and during this period, the United States will also try to avoid conflicts with major powers. In other words, the two most powerful countries in the world are unwilling to lose control of the world situation and are buying time for themselves. Looking at the three-step strategy adopted by the London Treaty for the comprehensive destruction of nuclear weapons, it is not difficult to understand the purpose of the Republic and the United States. In the coming years, the main international focus issue is to comprehensively destroy nuclear weapons. During this period, the Republic and the United States will not stop confronting each other, but will never confront head-on. The international trend is that regional conflicts increase and conflicts between major powers decrease.

If you look at it for a long time, it is not difficult to find that the international situation will happen after the New Year.

For any country, how to use this blade year will have a decisive impact on the country's future.

The Republic is no exception, and this year will determine the future of the Republic.

Ordinary soldiers will not consider this issue. After all, no soldier can work in the army for a full year. But for Wang Yuanqing, he cannot ignore this issue. Even if Wang Yuanqing cannot take charge of the Republic after the New Year, and even unlikely to live until the age of the year, he cannot ignore the future of the Republic. As the head of state, Wang Yuanqing not only has the responsibility to do a good job in his work during his tenure, but also has the responsibility to seek a more glorious future for the Republic.

From this perspective, seven cannot deny the importance of the third military reform. Simply put, the Republic does not need a military force that is strong enough to dominate the world within the year. It only needs a military force that can defend national security, defend national interests, and protect people's lives and property. There is no doubt that this is a limited-scale military force, and Gao is not a military force that is always prepared for the sake of big wars.

Looking back at the previous series of military expansion policies, it is not difficult to find that the third military reform is to correct past mistakes.

Since the beginning of the Peninsula War, the Republic has been pursuing a policy of military expansion due to the surrounding situation. Although there was no large-scale expansion during this period, the total number of troops remained basically unchanged, the elements that had a decisive impact on the military's combat effectiveness, such as the officers and soldiers' structure, organizational scale, equipment quality, etc., which had a decisive impact on the military's combat effectiveness, were strengthened and expanded. Taking the Knife as an example, during the Indian War, the Knife's combat effectiveness was equivalent to three times that of the Peninsula War. It can be seen that although the military scale did not expand, the military strength of the Republic has increased by more than twice in just the old year.

The direct consequence of military expansion is that economic development is affected.

From the year of Qiao and the year of Concao, the average annual growth rate of the Republic's economy was only 4 hospitals. Although in developed countries, this growth rate is not slow. It is much faster than the 2 gills of the United States and 2 cattle in the EU. However, compared with the previous year before, the economic growth rate of the Republic has slowed down a lot. More importantly, if it is based on per capita income, the economic growth rate of the Republic should not be so slow. At least it should be around the corner. Although under the influence of political reforms, economic growth has brought tangible benefits to the people of the country. In the words of the people, because the growth rate of the people's disposable income exceeds the economic growth rate, the economic growth rate of the Fourth Hospital is equivalent to this economic growth rate. However, from the perspective of the country's comprehensive strength, the economic growth rate of the women's % must not support military expansion. If foreign policies are not adjusted in time, military expansion will sooner or later crush the Republic.

Wang Yuanqing's military reform was to reduce military expenditures at this time.

The military expenditure in the year only increased compared with the conventional military expenditure in previous years, after deducting war expenditures. How to know, the economic growth rate of the phenol reached the gills, which was the fastest growing year since the year. Before that, the military expenditure growth rate was around the gills. If we consider the severance expenses required to pay for the annual disarmament of the Knife Island, then the military expenditure that year actually reduced the gills.

Such a significant reduction in military expenditure is a strange thing to be satisfied with the soldiers.

In order to reduce expenditure, the Ministry of National Defense was particularly strict when approving the military budget. Not only did it cut off many flashy or difficult to achieve results in the short term, it also strictly implemented the welfare benefits determined during the second military reform. For example, all generals must enjoy welfare housing strictly at the corresponding level, and the extra area must be paid. Rent must be paid monthly. For example, strictly control the travel and entertainment expenses of the army, and the extra expenses shall be borne by the soldiers themselves.

There is no doubt that such a strict military expenditure review system makes soldiers who have enjoyed the good times of the old year very uncomfortable.

Not to mention anything else. For ordinary soldiers, except for the annual visiting leave, the state bears the travel expenses, other private activities have to be paid out on their own, and even treating guests to dinner. You must know that in the past year, the military was basically responsible for this money, and the soldiers did not need to bear it themselves.

.

In some extreme words, the third military reform is to "cook the rabbit dead and the dog dead" and the thugs, and the birds are hidden in the bow."

Regardless of whether this description is appropriate or not, few soldiers are satisfied with the third military reform, and will not actively support it like the previous two military reforms.

Because Xiang Yinghui's intention to leave was decided, Pei Chengyi repeatedly said that he would not seek the position of Chief of General Staff, so the next Chief of General Staff is very likely to be Lin Xiaolei. If this is true, the reason why Li Cunxun must stay is very simple. Lin Xiaolei is a guy who likes to go to extremes. It is really a blessing to let him promote the third military reform. Not causing problems is a great blessing. Although the main driving force in implementing military reform comes from the head of state, after Wang Yuanqing, no one has enough hope in the army and can make the army obey. At this time, a person like Li Cunxun must be needed to mediate the conflict between the chief of staff and the head of state, the army and the government. Anyway, as the director of the military intelligence department, Li Cunxun has enough prestige at the top of the army. Few generals dare to fight him

Dry.

Seeing the future clearly, Li Cunxun knew that he had no choice.

Xiang Yinghui could leave, but he could not leave. Wang Yuanqing could take off his armor and return to the field. He could not leave Nanshan.

This made Li Cunxun think of Pan Yunsheng, because Pan Yunsheng was exactly the same as he now, and had to act as the "intermediary" between the head of state and the chief of staff after Ji Youguo left office.

Li Cunxun is still considering this issue when boarding the plane.

Although his ten thousand years of working in the Military Intelligence Bureau have given him the same status and influence as Pan Yunsheng back then, in the upcoming future, Li Cunxun has to face many challenges that Pan Yunsheng has never faced.

Li Cunxun did not consider his personal gains and losses. On the day he became a spy, he abandoned his personal gains and losses.

He only needs to consider one issue.

Can the Republic go well?
