Expedition to Europe

Chapter 817: Governing a country is harder than cooking

Paperhangers are also divided into grades. If the Qing Empire was a thatched house, then the current Britain is the Empire State Building with broken windows everywhere. The difference is quite big.

Repairing a broken window can be to replace a piece of glass, or to break down the wall and replace the window directly. The effect is different, and the result is naturally different. Lloyd George now looks like he is holding a sledgehammer in his hand, and it is estimated that he will not be able to use it to replace the glass.

This is also a lesson learned from the past, so Lu Zhengxiang felt sympathetic: "The transformation of the Governor's Office into the headquarters has made phased progress. The next step is to further separate the military and politics. Such a thing in the UK must not happen to our Lan Fang."

Since the beginning of the year, Lan Fang has made a series of major adjustments involving all aspects of the military and political system.

In the past, because of the shortage of staff in government affairs, Lan Fang implemented the governor system in all territories outside the mainland. Chen Kangjian, Liu Zizheng and others were therefore dispersed to various places and became frontier officials to guard the border for Lan Fang.

Now that Lan Fang has been established for more than four years, a large number of experienced grassroots civil servants have been trained. If the governor system is implemented again, it may cause all kinds of unspeakable things. During the Chinese New Year, taking advantage of the opportunity of Chen Kangjian and his family to come back and reunite, Qin Zhiyuan expressed his idea of ​​changing the Governor's Office to the Garrison Command and separating the military and politics, which won the unanimous approval of the governors headed by Chen Kangjian.

In fact, changing the Governor's Office to the Garrison Command is a weakening of the power of governors such as Chen Kangjian, but Chen Kangjian and his family still showed their heartfelt support for Qin Zhiyuan and had almost no resistance to Qin Zhiyuan's approach.

After the reform, the Northern Frontier Region was divided into six states. The other Goryeo and Yingzhou were separate states. Only Japan was special. Because of co-management, Japan nominally maintained the existence of an independent country.

After the reform, Chen Kangjian resigned from the post of Governor of the Northern Frontier Region. He had no interest in the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Frontier Region. He returned to Lan Fang to serve as the commander of the First Armored Army and concurrently served as the Minister of the Army.

It's strange, isn't it, that the position of the Minister of the Army is actually a concurrent position. But in Chen Kangjian's opinion, he is not interested in this position. He just wants to be the commander of an armored unit and stay on Penglai Island beside Qin Zhiyuan.

With Chen Kangjian's example, Liu Zizheng and Zhang Tianshou are not willing to lag behind. Liu Zizheng serves as the commander of the Bangkok Military Region, Zhang Tianshou went to Wanghaizhou to replace Jin Taihe as the commander of the Second Army Group stationed in Wanghaizhou, and Jin Taihe went to the Foreign Legion to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion.

This dazzling personnel transfer did cause a little confusion to a certain extent, but in the long run it eliminated the hidden worries of the governors of various places, strengthened the control of the Lan Fang central government over the local areas, and was of great significance to the long-term stability of Lan Fang.

"As long as we maintain the population advantage of Chinese people in various places, those places can't cause chaos even if they want to. The current situation is different from the past. Even though our Lan Fang has a vast territory, it will take less than a month to mobilize troops from the mainland to the northern border area, so don't worry." Qin Zhiyuan is not too worried that what happened in Britain will happen to Lan Fang, and he still has confidence in the national structure he built.

Although Lan Fang does not allow ethnic distinctions, there are actually small-scale discussions on this matter within Lan Fang. Strictly speaking, the current Lan Fang is a multi-ethnic country, with both Orientals and Westerners. This has been the national condition since Lan Fang was first established. If you divide it carefully, there are Germans, French, and Russians among Westerners, and Chinese, Annamites, Goryeo, Javanese, and even Japanese among Orientals. It is still quite complicated. In an ideal state, after a few decades or hundreds of years, there will be a great integration of ethnic groups, and then there will be no distinction between Chinese, Germans, or any other ethnic groups. This is actually a problem of orientation. As long as the official does not often emphasize it and there is no policy bias, no one wants to be a minority.

"There are still some people who talk nonsense. Recently, there are so-called masters in our school who promote the theory of the emperor Han, saying that those who are not of our race must have different hearts, and the great Han Dynasty will dominate the world. Several professors have taken the lead in organizing an organization called "Xing Han", which is mainly to promote Han culture. Not to mention, there are quite a few people in their school who apply to join the Lan Fang nationality." Lu Zhengxiang is a little happy to see it happen.

Five years ago, Lan Fang began to form a scout. Now, the best of the earliest scouts, such as Heyman and Girardin, have already started working, and most of the scouts are still studying. Lan Fang has established colleges and universities for this purpose and started to promote basic education across the country.

Now that there are colleges and universities, traditional cultural education has also been put on the agenda. Compared with scientific education, traditional cultural education is more important. This can enhance the confidence of the people, gather centripetal force, and enhance the interest and yearning of those ethnic minorities in Han culture. It is a key component of national education.

In fact, Lan Fang's cultural heritage is relatively weak, so many professors of Chinese culture have to be hired from the Republic of China. The Beiyang government does not impose restrictions on this aspect, but the performance of those professors is really unsatisfactory.

"We must be vigilant against such organizations. If they are just promoting Chinese culture, it is fine. If they start to instigate disputes between the Han people and other ethnic groups, they must be resolutely stopped. If necessary, they can be forcibly disbanded. If they are nationals, they can be charged with treason. If they are of other nationalities, they will all be expelled from the country." Qin Zhiyuan was ruthless.

"Treason? Not really. One act of provoking trouble is enough to serve as a warning to others." Lu Zhengxiang disagreed.

"Not enough. They must understand that this is a high-pressure red line that cannot be touched. Otherwise, someone will definitely take the opportunity to stir up trouble. Think about it, if someone takes advantage of this incident, what will be the consequences? At the least, a big discussion will be set off in the country that has no benefit. At the most, it will even cause division among the people. We must recognize the harmfulness of this kind of thinking. What "Huang Han" and "Da Han" are a bit too extreme. There is no nationality at all. There is only one nationality, Lan Fang." Qin Zhiyuan once again emphasized Lan Fang's national policy, which is not allowed to change in the slightest.

Qin Zhiyuan still remembers the national conditions of the 21st century. In order to avoid various disharmonious scenes from happening again, Qin Zhiyuan wants to use coercive means to eliminate those possible disputes. Of course, in Lan Fang, it is estimated that those disputes will not happen. You must know that if there is no interference from external forces, it will never reach that level just by relying on the emotions of the people of the country. Now Lan Fang doesn't go looking for trouble with other countries, other countries should be thankful. It's not that easy to really do something to Lan Fang, Lan Fang has countless ways to counter it.

"Shouldn't be." Lu Zhengxiang didn't fully understand the serious consequences, and from his tone, it can be heard that Lu Zhengxiang didn't agree.

"Absolutely! You should know what we are doing in Perth now, aren't you afraid that someone will do the same thing to Lan Fang?" Qin Zhiyuan used facts to educate Lu Zhengxiang.

Lan Fang is doing similar things in Perth, and it seems to be working well at the moment. Lu Zhengxiang is of course very clear about it.

"This, this, this - must be stopped resolutely!" Lu Zhengxiang reacted immediately, and then he was a little bit unsatisfied.

Although he has transformed from a diplomat to the prime minister of a country, Lu Zhengxiang is still the cautious and trembling Lu Zhengxiang in his bones. This is not to say that Lu Zhengxiang has no courage, but Lu Zhengxiang has fully realized that the higher the position, the greater the responsibility. Every decision of Lu Zhengxiang will have an important impact on Lan Fang, so Lu Zhengxiang has to be careful when handling government affairs. Lan Fang is in such a good situation now. If a mistake made by Lu Zhengxiang leads to major losses, Lu Zhengxiang's resignation will not be enough to apologize to the world.

"Don't worry about your meal. The National Security Bureau is not a vegetarian. If other forces intervene, the National Security Bureau will deal with it in time." Qin Zhiyuan casually reassured Lu Zhengxiang.

In fact, this kind of thing is within the scope of Gao Hongshi's National Security. Gao Hongshi has also made great efforts in this regard. The monitoring of public opinion is still in place. Lan Fang's news access system avoids the deviation of public opinion orientation to the greatest extent. Even if some people want to stir up trouble, they will not cause much impact without a platform.

In fact, compared with the 21st century, the current struggle is still more focused on the surface. For example, Lan Fang, if they don't like Siam, they can just send troops to attack them. There is no such nonsense. Of course, if the opponent is replaced by the British, Lan Fang will not act rashly. The necessary arrangements must be made. For example, the Lan Fang National Security Bureau has a branch in the UK. Although the branch office is located in Belgium, the Lan Fang National Security Bureau has developed hundreds of spies in the British Isles, and hundreds of intelligence reports are gathered to Gao Hongshi every day. Similarly, it can be concluded that there must be similar organizations in the UK in Lan Fang. In the 21st century, the British intelligence agencies have almost become entertainment agencies. The celebrity of 007 is well known to everyone. Qin Zhiyuan will not take it lightly. Although the British intelligence personnel may not be as magical as 007, it is certain that the British must have spies in Lan Fang.

In fact, compared with the UK, Lan Fang's confidentiality work is relatively easy to implement. There are tens of thousands of islands in Lan Fang, and these islands are scattered all over the country, with all kinds of things. Lan Fang's important research institutes have now begun to move from the bustling downtown area to the uninhabited islands. Not to mention British agents, even if the former 007 really jumped off the screen, it would not be easy to infiltrate those security personnel.
