1938 was a magnificent year, and it was also a very important year in human history. In Europe, during this year, Hitler sent troops to invade Austria, and then invaded the Czech border. British Prime Minister Chamberlain gave a speech in the House of Commons condemning Germany's
An act of aggression, but no specific action; on the contrary, it acquiesced to Italy's invasion of Ethiopia and Germany, and Italy's armed intervention in Spain. He also signed an Anglo-German non-aggression declaration with Hitler. The policy implemented by Chamberlain was called the "appeasement policy" by later generations.
.
In Asia, China, which had been weak for nearly a world, also ushered in earth-shaking changes. During this year, Su Tong led the Chahar army and other forces in the country to drive the Japanese invaders out of China.
With great popularity, he was elected as the President of China. After being elected as the President, he started the reorganization of the entire [] team with the help of strong force deterrence.
The time soon came to 1939. While Su Tong was reorganizing the army and starting the process of nationalizing the army, he also started China's first five-year plan. In this five-year plan, Su Tong was making a lot of money in the international market.
Spreading gold, it procured ore, oil, rubber, machinery and other materials in the international market, and at the same time began to step up the construction of domestic infrastructure.
In addition, Su Tong also began to gradually improve domestic laws. He gradually instilled in the country the concept that legal principles are greater than human feelings. In addition, seeing that the jury system had achieved great success in several provinces surrounding Chahar, Su Tong also intended to bring this system to the country.
Gradually spread to the whole country. Su Tong declared more than once at political meetings that the formulation of laws is important, but more important is that the national judicial system must abide by the law and enforce the law strictly. China has always had the principle that humaneness is greater than humanity.
Now is the time to break the tradition of jurisprudence. For this reason, he has discussed many times with Vice President Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the National Congress Party, and Vice President Ku, leader of the Socialist Workers' Party, to hand over the judicial system to non-partisan control.
, the military must also gradually eliminate the distinctive traces of each party.
Although Su Tong likes the feeling of having great power, he knows more about the dangers of soldiers interfering in politics. The army is an armed violent group, and their mission is to protect the interests of the country. If the army gets involved in domestic party disputes, it will only weaken the country's interests.
National defense strength and comprehensive national strength.
In this regard, he specially invited Vice President Jiang and Vice President Gu to have a frank talk. Su Tong knew that playing tricks in front of these old foxes who had become evil was like dancing in front of Guan Gong, so our Chief Su did not hide it.
With that in mind, he put his plans for national construction and his future on the table, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
Su Tong did this to formulate a new rule of the game, that is, no matter how the parties compete for power, there must be a bottom line. The premise of this bottom line is that the national interest cannot be harmed. If you want to discredit your opponent or expose the news,
It doesn't matter if you attack political opponents, you can do it, but you must not use violence, assassination and other means. If you use violence, it will be embarrassing, because you will be jointly attacked by the other two parties.
Take the United States as an example. Although the donkey-elephant dispute between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the United States has been vigorous every few years. Watergate scandals and office scandals are common, but both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are operating under the same premise.
, that is, the military must not be used and it will not harm national interests.
Therefore, Su Tong put his newly formulated rules of the game on the table. After the discussion, Vice President Chiang and Vice President Gu were silent. For those who believe that having a gun means a grass-headed king and political power comes from the barrel of a gun, Su Tong's
This idea was still a bit ahead of its time, and they couldn't accept it for a while. Therefore, they did not give Chief Su an answer on the spot, only saying that they would go back and think about it carefully.
Seeing their reply, Su Tong felt relieved. If they agreed without any explanation on the spot, it would mean that they were perfunctory. It didn't matter if they didn't agree now. Su Tong himself was still young. He was confident that he could make this happen in the next few decades.
The rules form an unspoken rule that everyone must abide by.
Unspoken rules, unspoken rules, are relative to meta-rules and explicit rules. They are invisible, not explicitly stipulated in the text, and are conventional, but they are widely recognized, actually work, and people must follow them.
A kind of rule. Hidden rules are also rules that are hidden under formal rules but actually govern the operation of society.
Everyone now understands that the future will be an era in which the Baath Party, the Socialist Party and the National Congress will take turns taking charge. It will be beneficial to everyone in the future to formulate a bottom line that everyone must abide by, because people all understand the truth that flowers cannot be red for a hundred days.
, no one dares to guarantee whether he will have bad luck in the future. With this bottom line and rules, everyone can rest assured, and there is no need to worry about being driven out and killed in the future. Su Tong also believes that only fools are good at things that are good for everyone.
Don't follow it?
After formulating the tacit stipulations, Su Tong turned his attention to the navy. At this time, the benefits of Su Tong becoming the president gradually became apparent. Now Su Tong is sitting in the president's seat.
, all the human resources across the country are under his control, which is a hundred times better than doing it secretly just to dig a corner in Chahar.
Now Su Tong could openly reorganize the country's navy in the name of the country. Soon after receiving two heavy cruisers and four light cruisers supported by the United States, Su Tong divided the country's navy into three major parts.
One is the Pacific Fleet based in Vladivostok, the other is the East China Sea Fleet based in Dalian, and the other is the South China Sea Fleet based on Hainan Island.
Although the three major fleets are just empty frames now, with the help of the moon base, Su Tong is confident that he can complete the construction of these frames in a short time and make them fuller soon.
The Vladivostok base has been basically completed with the help of German experts and engineering technicians. Now the shipyard and most of the logistics support facilities there have been completed. With the help of German engineers and technicians, attempts to build four ships began last month.
Thousand-ton destroyers, otherwise the Germans are more practical. They will usually do what they promise, and they will not play tricks on you and hold everything back. Under the influence of the Germans, the submarines in Vladivostok
The academy, the submarine force, and even the officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet all have a strong German flavor, and they are very rigid and serious in their work. The personnel of the Pacific Fleet commander did not need to think too much. Su Tong quickly ordered Chen Shaokuan, the commander-in-chief of the navy.
Part-time.
Su Tong still attaches great importance to the Pacific Fleet. After the naval reorganization, Su Tong immediately allocated 60 more R-class submarines to the fleet. Together with the original submarines, Vladivostok became a veritable submarine base in the Chinese Navy, with
The Pacific Fleet of nearly seventy submarines became active at once, and their patrol range has now expanded to Sakhalin Island, Japan's Hokkaido, and the vicinity of Honshu Island, which has made the Japanese Navy very nervous.
The Dalian Naval Warship Academy in Dalian is deeply influenced by American experts, engineers and the US Navy. Their work and military style are relatively free and easy. For example, the salute style of many officers and soldiers seems very casual. This It seems unbelievable and disgusting to the officers and soldiers of the Pacific Fleet, but the officers and soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet are more free and flexible than those of the Pacific Fleet.
After receiving two heavy cruisers and four light cruisers, the East China Sea Fleet has become the most powerful fleet of surface ships among the three major fleets of China. Fleet Commander Shen Honglie is also stepping up his time to conduct training, striving to allocate funds for the future capture of Su Tong. The large surface ships that came down laid a solid foundation.
Finally, there is the South China Sea Fleet. Since the South China Sea Fleet has been established for the shortest time, there are no experts and technicians from any country to come here to provide guidance. Therefore, this is the most authentic Chinese fleet, and it is also the fleet that Su Tong has been paying more attention to recently. Domestic engineers Although the current engineers and technicians are not as good as foreign experts for the time being, this is a step-by-step process. Su Tong does not expect their level to jump up immediately like a rocket, but he will slowly train them It is necessary to develop the ability and lay the foundation for the future.
Su Tong, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, temporarily appointed Chen Ce as the commander after careful consideration. Chen Ce was known as the one-legged general in another time and space, but now due to the appearance of the big butterfly Su Tong, his left foot Fortunately, they didn't mind using Lieutenant General Su Tong, who had outstanding character and ability but was not reused by the original Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
Since the current main imaginary enemies of the South China Sea Fleet are South Asian countries, the ships assigned to the South China Sea Fleet by Su Tong do not include heavy ships. There are only more than 20 new "Fletcher" class new destroyers, including frigates, torpedo boats, and hundreds of There are more than 40 ton-class small warships, a flight group of F4F Wildcats, more than 30 Dreadnought bombers, and a dozen Avenger torpedo planes.
Although the scale of the South China Sea Fleet is relatively small and there are no heavy warships, as the saying goes, there is no worst, only worse. In Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and other countries, even small sampan-type frigates are rare, so with this The South China Sea Fleet's destroyers, frigates, torpedo boats and other warships in the area can also be powerful for a while. Su Tong's main task for the South China Sea Fleet is to keep an eye on the Nansha, Xisha, Dongsha, Zhongsha Islands and other waters, and to clearly declare the sovereignty there to the world. , although the Philippines is still the sphere of influence of the United States, it does not affect Su Tong's layout at this time, because in his plan, the Americans will soon no longer care about it.
