It's done, there will be a farewell after a thousand miles, so come here, don't follow me up and suffer.The capital city is your stage, how could such a big show be without a protagonist.But you must remember my advice, don't force things if you can't do anything.

Even if they want to take risks, you still have a way out. If you take a step back, you will have a place where you can stay here.Come hang out with me, when the time comes, let's go to the port of Japan to see if there are any usable sailing boats, the world is too big to go anywhere.

If there are still people who can't make it through, bring them along, let's find a place where there are few people, and it would be great if men farm and women weave without competing with the world.I've thought about being a leader, and it's okay to be a leader. Wouldn't it be great if I went out to be a pirate in a boat, snatch people back and create a pirate country! "

Why did the navy support their return so much? Hong Tao and Zhang Ke already knew the result when they were chatting on the roof.

Of course there are favors, but the longer-term and stronger relationship bonds are still interests.Some interests need to be started immediately to see immediate results, while others need to be cultivated slowly.

The reason why Wada Renji made the choice to protect himself at all costs is not all personal feelings, he represents the interests of one or several ethnic groups.As long as you get on the boat, no matter whether you can return smoothly in the end, these ethnic groups will not suffer losses, and it is a long-term investment.

Now that I have a basic guarantee for my own safety, I naturally start worrying about others, such as Zhou Yuan.This woman has no lower desire for power than Chu Qiu, and she is more thoughtful and ruthless. If she is pushed to a dead end, it will be extremely destructive.

If you want her to be more likely to give up power willingly when heaven and man are at war, it is really not enough to rely on feelings alone. You must be prepared to retreat, and you must have a seemingly beautiful retreat.

Chapter 895

"Driving a sailboat to be a pirate?" Zhou Yuan still listened carefully to this advice, but she was a little suspicious of the content.

In movies and TV shows, pirates came whistling in galleons, but that was hundreds of years ago. No matter how backward the technology was, human weapons were much more advanced than at that time.

"Of course! If you want to travel across the world, oil-burning ships are useless, at least not for now. If any parts are broken, we will die of thirst on the sea. But sailboats are not afraid. As long as there is wind and navigation ability, you can go anywhere in the world. , no one can stop it.

Don't think that pirates fight face to face with real swords and guns, it is deliberately distorted for the sake of looking good.In fact, we can use the cover of night to sneak up in a small boat and climb up to beat Sap one by one.

The men are captured and used as slaves to farm and produce, and the women are handed over to you as a harem to have more children.In less than 20 years, our maritime empire will be established, and you will be the first queen!Look at my bones, it should be no problem to resist for another 20 years, right? "

If Hong Tao is an experienced local expert in combat, governance, and political struggle, he is a real expert on how to be a pirate. He not only has theory and practice, but also combines theory with practice and adapts to local conditions.

And compared to other projects, he also prefers to do this kind of costless business.What rifles, bullets, cannons, if you have them, let me have them. If you can prevent thieves for a while, you can't prevent thieves forever. As long as you have enough patience, no one can hide.

Besides, if human beings cannot fully restore the industrial level to the level of the early 20th century in a short period of time, building modern seagoing ships will be a dream.At that time, the main force of naval battles will still be galleons and smoothbore guns. At most, we will get a steam engine, and then change the front load into the rear load, which is essentially the same.

"Hahaha... If I can, I want to try the queen! The radio frequency and password are still the same, I hope that I, a landlubber, will not be reduced to the situation where I dominate the sea."

I don't know whether the scene described by Hong Tao is more beautiful, or the title of the first queen is more powerful, Zhou Yuan finally laughed out loud, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.It's a pity that like Jiao Qiao, she doesn't have the slightest yearning for the sea, but she is more afraid. If it doesn't come to an end, she really doesn't want to choose.

It came suddenly and went quickly. Watching Hong Tao board the boat, Zhou Yuan drove west with a few borrowed infantry vehicles.She wanted to return to Minggang Airport as soon as possible, chat with Jiao Qiao, Lin Na, He Wanjun, and Zhang Ke first, and then return to the capital immediately, preparing for a storm that would be sudden to most people.

At the end of May, it should be the most pleasant season in Beijing, but this year's rain came a bit early. Last night's heavy rain still didn't wash the sky, but it dropped the temperature by several degrees. Even wearing long clothes and trousers Can feel bursts of cold air penetrate.

In the south of Chengxian Street, on the three-story balcony of a tall imitation Chinese-style building, Chu Qiu sat alone at the coffee table, without taking a sip of the coffee in front of him, staring at the haze in the sky for a long time over the railing and the roof of the main hall not far away.

Chengxian Street was named in the Qing Dynasty. During the Republic of China, it was renamed Guozijian, and later called Hongri North Road Jiutiao. After a circle, it returned to the starting point.Guozijian was the highest institution of learning in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was also the highest administrative institution for education management, also known as Taixue and Guoxue.

Next to Guozijian, there is another building complex with the same level and regulations as the Forbidden City, called the Confucius Temple, also known as the Temple of the First Teacher.In addition to being a place for ancient emperors to worship sages, scholars at that time would also leave their names on the forest of steles here if they won the Juren.It is said that in the three dynasties of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 5 records in total.

Going to this street is just one sentence, full of cultural atmosphere!In the old world, whenever the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination come, there will still be parents of students bringing their children who are about to enter the examination room to worship here, praying for the blessings of the spirits of the ancestors, brothers and sisters, and high school graduates.

The antique building where Chuqiu is located is also a large and impressive building complex called Dadu Art Museum.Now it has not only changed its name, but also changed its purpose. It is no longer a palace for people to appreciate artworks, but has become the highest power and legislative body of the East Asian Union, and the seat of the Union Council.

A person's character can be partly seen from the choice of office location. After Chu Qiu took office, after repeated selection, he finally chose the office location here.In addition to being able to be contaminated with some illusory cultural atmosphere, it may be hoped that the Lama Temple not far away will also blow some fairy spirit.

It's hard to evaluate whether there is immortal energy or not.Say no, shortly after taking office, he was challenged by Liu Quanyou and Zhou Jinlan.At that time, Chu Qiu was a poor and useless waste in the political arena. He had nothing to do except to be the wife of the former chairman of the board. The place he visited the most was Lama Temple.

As a result, Jiao Qiao and his wife, who were the most vacillating and most influential, remained neutral, and another powerful official, Ran Di, chose to stand by him at the last moment.In addition to favors, I am afraid there is also the blessing of the Buddha.

But let’s say yes, why doesn’t it work this time!It was originally just an ordinary zombie cleanup operation, but I didn't expect to be surrounded by an army of zombies led by living zombies.I wanted to take this opportunity to show off my hard work over the years, but in the end, I ran into a living corpse with super abilities, and almost became an accomplice.

Chu Qiu didn't care about being joked about in private, so he didn't suffer much in these years?Even the veterans of the reformist faction may not be interested in their ability to govern, they just want to use this brand to protect and expand their respective powers.

But before anyone could laugh, an explosive news spread to the capital at the speed of light, and quickly spread among officials at all levels.The founder of the alliance is not dead, he appeared in the driver of Ping An Transportation Company, and now he and Zhang Ke are surrounded by zombies on the roof of the community!

Hong Tao is not dead! ?When Chu Qiu first heard this rumor, he didn't take it to heart at all.The royalists are really getting more and more worthless, even making up rumors is so low-level and low-level.

If you want to beat yourself, the best way is to minimize Hong Tao's shadow as much as possible, take it out and shake it off if you have nothing to do. Isn't this a reminder to the veterans who are still in the building, let them continue to miss the old love!

But when the members of the council also heard the news from different channels, Chu Qiu was a little uncertain.It's not that Hong Tao is still alive, but that the person who deliberately spread rumors this time is a bit strange.

Jiao Qiao and Lin Na were not in the capital, Zhou Yuan also went to the front line, and transferred Niu Dafu and a squadron of the air force stationed near the capital. Also support staff.

Is this a coincidence?If you think in another direction, you can't help but feel a chill down your back.If Jiao Qiao and Lin Na were persuaded by Zhou Yuan to support the royalists, then the failure of this liquidation operation would very likely become an excellent excuse to launch an offensive against the reformists.

In order to win over young generals in the military, the reformists have always supported the staff led by Pan Wenxiang, and strongly supported their strategy of using force to open the way and appease the subsequent strategy.

As a result, the defeat came before the coalition forces reached the north bank of the Yangtze River.The main force of an entire regiment was besieged by the zombie army on the outskirts of Xinyang, the deputy chief of staff was imprisoned, and there was no hope of breaking through.

If at this time the royalists and the centrist forces are colluding and making a fuss about this matter, the reformers who have always aimed at unifying the country, expanding the influence of the Chinese nation, and establishing a Greater China Circle will inevitably be very passive.Even mere zombies can't figure it out, what to use to talk about going south, and Nima sweeping all of China and East Asia...

But when the subordinates went to the kindergarten of the Ministry of Armed Forces to have a look, Jiao Qiao and Lin Na's idea of ​​changing their positions was no longer valid.The children of the two of them are enjoying themselves in the kindergarten, and the older one is following Lan Yuer.

Whoever said that the couple who hold the military power and investigative power and controlled most of the alliance's army and police force would support the royalists, Chu Qiu can believe it, but whoever said that the two of them would sacrifice their family and children for the sake of ideals, I am afraid that the entire alliance will not People will believe it.

While hesitating, He Wanjun's secret report was sent in time, which completely resolved the royalist's worry that they would take the opportunity to stir up trouble, but put another trouble in front of them, Hong Tao, it is really possible to live!

Although the real person He Wanjun didn't see it, Zhang Ke's speech had already spread to almost everyone in the military and government in a few hours following the secret report of the officers of the 8th Regiment. This is the real source of the rumor that Hong Tao is still alive. .

Chapter 896

Would Zhang Ke engage in such pranks?Chu Qiu thinks that there is a high probability that it will not.If that little fat man really found Hong Tao's trail, he would definitely try his best to rescue him. If someone obstructed him and drove him into a hurry, it would not be impossible for him to die.

Then if Hong Tao is really still alive, all kinds of struggles between the royalist faction and the reformist faction will become less important.If the current main contradiction is that zombies and humans cannot coexist, and the secondary contradiction is the uneven distribution between high-level survivors and ordinary refugees, then the situation will have to change with the appearance of this man.

The contradiction between zombies and humans is still the most important and irreconcilable.At the same time, a parallel main contradiction must be added, that is, the incompatibility between Hong Tao's proposition and the current alliance's top management.

Why do you say that, because regardless of the zombies or Hong Tao, once they or he wins, it will be ruined for the alliance executives.The difference is that the former directly destroys the physical body, while the latter may retain the physical body, but the thinking must be changed, which is a death-restraint.

Just imagine the state of the revival alliance ten years ago, and then calculate whether you can put aside all vested interests, go back empty-handed and continue to fight for the entire alliance and the human survivors all over the world for the rest of your life.

Although it may not be possible to work with the refugees wielding a hoe, it is not very comfortable.There is always a pair of squinted eyes staring at the back, and if you are a little lazy or take a little too much, you will be reprimanded.If it cannot be corrected quickly, someone will replace it immediately.

If we can't find money, then we can seize the power, and the descendants of Mengyin will also succeed.Pooh!Don't worry about this, others may not know Hong Tao's true thoughts, but Chu Qiu must know.

How many nights have this man been lying beside him, not talking about love, but about dreams.He intends to take advantage of the catastrophe of human beings and the breaking of all rules and regulations to create a more advanced system with the best of the world.

If it can be successful, in this system, the property of the rich will not be violated, and the dignity of the poor will not be trampled on.If a person commits a crime because of survival, not only he is guilty, but everyone is guilty!

In this system, there will be no poisonous vegetables and warlords, and there will be no religious and ethnic conflicts.Capital can be owned, and exploitation is inevitable, but it must be the lightest in history.There can and must be partisan disputes, and they must also not go crazy.

In this system, Hong Tao is neither a capitalist nor a savior nor a warmonger. He is only responsible for planning, preparation and preparation.When all the conditions are met, you have to give up the power in your hand and go to other survivor organizations in the world to see if you can get involved.

Leaving aside whether this mythical-sounding system can exist, just the prerequisites make Chu Qiu feel unbelievable.Hong Tao said that in order to establish such a system, the first thing to do is not to equalize or decentralize power, but to demote power.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have regarded power as extremely important, and even regarded it as a lifelong goal.For example, if you acquire literary and martial arts, you can be a king's family; if you study hard for [-] years in a cold window, you will be awarded the title of a fish turning into a dragon on the gold list;

From intellectuals to traffickers and pawns, they are always thinking about the day when the carp leaps over the dragon's gate.It is driven by this social value that everyone has been instilled with the idea of ​​striving to be a master since childhood.

I have been studying for more than ten years, I have suffered a lot, and I have almost no happiness. I desperately squeezed onto the single-plank bridge. Don't worry, this is just a ticket, a ticket that is eligible to participate in the official career.

In the next ten or ten years, you still have to endure loneliness, withstand blows, and withstand pressure at work. You have to be thick-skinned, have little conscience, and have a little bit of luck. Persevere until the end. There is a chance to become a master.

So what's so good about being a master?Without it, with power, the descendants of Fuyin, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven!Let me ask, who has experienced so many hardships and trials, and can still maintain a normal heart?Almost none. Once power is seized, everyone must fight bravely to take back what was lost in the previous decades.

In fact, no matter how hard you try, the joys of childhood, the dreams of youth, the ideals of youth, the responsibilities of adulthood, etc., are all gone forever, and you will never get back any of them.

The only thing that can still be grasped is the power that does not belong to him at all.For this straw, people are willing to pay any price to maintain it, including conscience, morality, law, humanity, and even life.If you lose it, you will have nothing, life would be better than death!

So who are these people, these people who have the ability, perseverance, and ability to squeeze onto the single-plank bridge and finally reach the end?Most of them are the elites of the nation, and they are also the hope of the nation's progress.

If these people have all become slaves to power, putting all their energy into fighting for power and profit, and then consuming a lot of power in the game of power, can society and the nation continue to move forward? The answer is obviously not optimistic.

What Hong Tao has to do is to completely change this concept in one or two generations.First use rules to firmly bind power, so that no one can easily take advantage of it for profit.Then pass the law to reduce the treatment of politicians to a relatively low level, making it unprofitable to take power, and it has completely become a way of self-realization.

Finally, increase the intensity of supervision and punishment of those in power. Ordinary people who break the law will be sentenced to one year. If politicians make the same mistakes, sorry, they will start with two years.This is called job crime, and it is more destructive to society than robbery and murder.

After doing this, looking at the prospect of official career, it seems that it is not so attractive.After a lot of effort, he finally got the power, but he couldn't use it casually, and was surrounded by eyes, staring at him like a thief.Don't talk about abusing profits, if you don't pay attention, you will lose your reputation and even your family.

There are not so many people vying to do this kind of thing with small profits and big sacrifices. A large part of the social elite will choose more respected and famous professions such as scientists, teachers, and doctors.There are also some elites who simply go into business, earning money with a high IQ is not only not shabby but also glorious, and can be passed down to future generations.

But in this way, wouldn't politics become like a street mouse, and people would dislike dogs, so would anyone be willing to engage in it?Chu Qiu also asked the same question back then, and Hong Tao's answer was always contrary to common sense.

He said that there are many kinds of occupations in this world, and politics is not the one that contributes the most to society. In some respects, officials are even a burden in human society.They don't create anything, they just have to create an industry to manage communication because people's thinking patterns are not smart enough.

When the overall quality of human beings improves to a certain level, the profession of politicians may become a part-time job. For example, a doctor can be the president of a country in his spare time and spend some spare time to communicate with other countries.It may even disappear eventually, there will be no need for politicians at all, and there will be no more governments.

Of course, human beings are still far from reaching that state, but there is no need to spend so many social elites and smart people in politics.Only those who really like political games, intend to realize their political ideals, and are willing to dedicate themselves to their careers will choose politicians who are neither easy nor rich.

In the past, Chu Qiu didn't quite understand Hong Tao's ramblings, and only thought he was joking.Don't want to be an official?A joke, except for children, who would not want to be an official, and to make being an official a profession that people dislike is simply a dream.

But since Damo took the position of chairman of the board of directors, became an official, and gained power with his own hands, Chu Qiu suddenly came to his senses.It turned out that what Hong Tao said before was not a story or a joke, he was serious!

When Hong Tao was in power, this set of rules seemed to be no different from the routines of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries. It was more like a hodgepodge, including the parliamentary systems of European and American countries, and the boxing methods that the Chinese are accustomed to.

The council is the highest authority on all issues, and any government department can only do things in accordance with the rules. If you want to jump out of the rules, you must have the authorization of the council, otherwise no one can implement it.

If the government does not act, sorry, the council can hold a special meeting, and after several rounds of voting, the secretary-general will be removed, and government officials at all levels will also leave their posts automatically, until the new secretary-general re-forms a new government and appoints them one by one.This is a bit like the cabinet system in Japan.

Chapter 897

To say that the council has the greatest power, it cannot interfere with the work of the government, that is to say, as long as the government does things within the scope of the rules, no one has the right to dictate.Only on major issues can all directors vote to call a hearing to question whether the practices of government officials are in compliance with regulations.

Originally, Chu Qiu thought that he could do whatever he wanted by controlling most of the directors in the council, but after trying a few times, he couldn't say he gave up completely, and he no longer held this illusion, because there was no hope at all.

There are a total of 63 directors, all from the general election of the official residents of the alliance, which is really won by one vote.Behind them are workers, farmers, soldiers, and small traders from all walks of life, and they represent the interests of those people.

The directors have power in their hands, but those powers are entrusted by others, or borrowed temporarily. If you can't speak out for the creditors to fight for the interests, I'm sorry, you can go out next time.Not only is the power gone, even the groups that originally supported and protected themselves cannot go back, and they leave the house empty-handed.

You said that I will take advantage of the power and not waste it, and take the opportunity to exchange some benefits quickly, so that I can become a rich man even if I lose the next election.Sorry, I thought too much, no one can do this.

Not to mention whether the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who stare at officials like thieves all day long will arrest people. Even if they escape by chance, where can they go with the wealth exchanged for power?

It’s not the old world now, where you can go to the other side of the world with just an air ticket, and there are no Swiss banks or offshore companies to help transfer money and launder money.Zombie control areas are everywhere, there is no place to stay, and even a few people can't survive if they run out.

If you want to balance dozens of directors from different groups and ethnic groups, you must satisfy their different interests.The problem is that if human beings were so satisfied and so easy to negotiate, wouldn't there be no wars at all.

Every resolution in the council has never been unanimously passed.No matter what you want to do or what you want to change, as long as someone benefits, someone must suffer.When it comes to benefits, those guys are as if they have been beaten, and there is no need to discuss it when their own father comes.

What the chairman can do is to determine which vote is valid according to the rules, and whether it reaches the number of passing votes, at most, he can act as a middleman in private to protect the media and mediate between several directors whose opinions are to the left.Try to balance the interests as much as possible, no amount of influence is really enough.

In order to maintain power, the government and the council not only check each other but also cooperate with each other, not daring to make too much trouble, which will affect the development of the alliance, and the next term will have to leave and be scolded.

What about the army?If the army has any ideas, wouldn't it be a coup that overturns all the rules!The answer is still no, the training and command of the alliance army are completely two systems.

For example, in Niu Dafu's first brigade, he is usually only in charge of training and has no command.If he can't get an order from the Ministry of Armed Forces, he will be an empty brigade commander. Except for a few guard troops, he will never be able to transfer a company.

This time he was transferred to command the first brigade of the reserve service is a living example. After receiving the transfer order, he could only take the post with the guard company alone.When you reach the first brigade, you have to be under the control of the deputy brigade commander and the brigade chief of staff. Apart from implementing the combat orders of the Ministry of Armed Forces, you can't do anything extra.

Even when I took office, I didn't know who the deputy brigade commander and the brigade chief of staff were.

The most troublesome thing is the promotion, transfer, appointment and removal of officers, which are not within the scope of the commander's authority.If there is a violation of discipline on the battlefield, the commander can temporarily arrest and send it to a military court for the deputy to replace.But if you are arrested wrongly, or if the evidence is insufficient, I’m sorry, let’s go to the military court together. This is called false accusation, a felony!

When the commander cannot control the promotion, salary and treatment of his subordinates, and cannot establish prestige and develop cronies in an army for a long time, launching a military coup becomes a very unreliable extravagant hope.It is possible that before the coup was launched, you would be controlled by your subordinates first.It is also a felony to move troops without an order from the Ministry of Armed Forces.

In fact, even if someone follows you to take the risk, the chances of a military coup succeeding are still slim.The modern army relies too much on logistical supplies, there is not enough ammunition reserves, and it is useless to rely on numbers alone.

Unless you can also collude with the logistics department of the staff department, but in this way, the suddenness will be lost.The ubiquitous spies and agents in the Ministry of Internal Affairs do this job all day long, and as soon as they find any clues, they will start an investigation immediately.

If you switch to the old world, this kind of investigation may be much more troublesome. After all, people have circles, relatives and friends, and interpersonal relationships are intricate.

But for now, it will be easy to investigate.Not to mention relatives and friends, if you have known each other for four or five years, you are old acquaintances. Even if you have children, they are at most teenagers, and they can't help you at all.

Who would entrust their wealth and life to so-called acquaintances who have only known each other for a few years?It is more likely to be reported and then become a stepping stone for others to make meritorious deeds and promotions.

Some people may have said that Hong Tao is fooling around. How could he use the weak Song's useless routines of soldiers who don't know the generals and soldiers? It will greatly affect the combat effectiveness and harm the country and the people!

In fact, it is not the case. Discussion and analysis of anything cannot be evaluated in isolation. It must be prefixed with a time.Some methods may have been a stroke of genius in ancient times, but they may become failures in a few hundred years.

The soldiers in the Song Dynasty did not know their generals, and the generals did not know their soldiers. It was not that the method was wrong. On the contrary, this military system was more advanced, so that in modern times, many countries began to adopt it.

During World War II, European and American countries participating in the war, including Japan, basically separated training and combat command.Each base and military region is responsible for the training of an army. When a battle is needed, a commander will be appointed, and more often it will be a command team.

For example, Patton, Montgomery, MacArthur, Zhukov, etc., before the war, they were not commanding the same unit. They were transferred around, and even had to receive defeated troops. After a short period of supplementary adjustments, they had to go to the battlefield immediately.

Then why didn't they say that soldiers don't know generals, and generals don't know soldiers?It's very simple, the troops they took over were all trained in the same training system, and the basic tactics, tactics, weapon configuration, etc. were all exactly the same.

The commander does not need to know every soldier, not even the middle and lower ranks.He only needs to issue instructions according to the internal rules of the system, and the officers and soldiers can understand them, and there is no problem of incompatibility or ignorance.

So why did this problem exist in the Song Dynasty, and it was a big problem?The reason is simple. The level of science and technology in the Song Dynasty could not achieve a consistent training system.The generals at that time did not have a complete set of military theories. The southern army and the northern army were very different in tactics, weapon equipment, and combat habits.

Therefore, advanced things must be supported by a matching system and environment, otherwise not only will they not reflect advanced, but it will easily backfire.When discussing whether something is advanced or not, we must fully consider the conditions at that time, and we cannot talk about it alone.

Does the East Asian Union have supporting conditions?The answer is must drop!No matter the troops stationed in Chang'an, Changchun, or the reserve army, they adopt the same training system, use the same set of weapons, and have the same logistics system.

If there is a difference, it is the level of the commander, the number of times the unit has participated in battles, and whether the experience of the middle and lower-level officers is sufficient.

Well, the government, the council, and the army can't exist alone, let alone the situation where one crushes the other. Is power locked in a cage?In fact, it is far from enough. This is just a big framework, and there are still many details to be perfected.

It's a pity that Hong Tao didn't have time to do more detailed steps, so he ran away in a hurry, leaving behind a semi-finished product.At present, the reason why the East Asian Alliance has become a situation full of factions and constant internal friction is directly related to his failure to complete the work.

When he was in charge of the league, this set of rules ran smoothly. It's not that the rules are perfect, but he is special.Being both the chairman and the secretary-general of the alliance, and also the minister of armed forces, the power is too great, which seriously disrupts the balance and restricts others' coveting of power.
