Next to the Changle Palace in Jiangning Province, the atmosphere of the United People's Hall is very unusual today.The Emperor of the Eastern Song, who rarely appeared in the hall, wore the most formal robe of the heavenly son in the morning, and appeared in the royal seat in the middle of the hall, accompanied by the Prime Minister Wencao and the leader of the Zhejiang Party.

According to the fictitious practice of the Eastern Song Dynasty, Tianzi usually only appeared at the ceremony of the first month of each year, and the United States Congress officially began to appear at the ceremony of the annual government, and accepted the appearance of all members of the parliament.In addition, Tianzi will appear in the throne of the hall when each session of the United People's Congress is officially formed, handing over to each member of parliament aboard the symbol of the right to discuss government.

In addition to the ceremony of the 15th of the first month and the composition of the meeting, the son of heaven generally does not appear in the hall.Even if the Prime Minister requests the dissolution of the meeting, it is only in the palace of Changle.

With one exception, the son of God will be in person to listen to the House of Representatives.That is, when the country is facing the threat of war, and when the United Nations Conference agrees on the war and the state policy, the son of heaven or prince must listen to the government.

Today is not the 15th of the first month, nor is it the day of the formation of the new United Nations Conference, is it necessary to agree on the war and national policy?Did the Western Songs of War be fighting again?

Most of the members of parliament in the Great Song (Dong Song) United Hall know that the country is now facing an unprecedented crisis.One is the "bird manure embargo" of the big week, which will certainly lead to a large reduction in food production.

Another crisis is the "grandisation and decline" of Jiangnan industry and commerce - Jiangnan industry and commerce has also increased overproduction and unemployment because of the use of "water heaters" and "yellow spinning machines".

In the two major crises under the East Song are a little stormy meaning, if there is another war, will it collapse?The hearts of the councillors were hoisted.

Although the East Song Dynasty was in a neutral country in distress, because from the beginning, the policy of the north and west of the establishment of the Israeli-Water Forces was adopted, so national defense and security were actually very guaranteed.

In the past three Central Plains wars, the East Song Dynasty only looked a little dangerous, but in fact it was like a rock.

Because in the era of basilisk and bronze cannons, the story of taking Jiangnan from the Han water and the Sichuan River down the river is impossible to appear.

Moreover, the army of the Eastern Song Dynasty is not too weak, and its combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of the army of the West Song.Even the cavalry of the Eastern Song can compete with the Western Song cavalry!

Although Jiangnan and Huainan in the East Song are not suitable for a large number of horses.But East Song has a new Song mainland colony!Moreover, the East Song Dynasty is still second only to the sea power of the Great Week, and can obtain good horses from the West and Tianzhu, and is kept on the grasslands of the New Song continent.

Therefore, the army of the Eastern Song Dynasty was neither lacking horses nor strong cavalry.The cavalry of the Eastern Song Dynasty came partly from the military households of Huai, and some from the grasslands of the new Song and the new eastern austra.The horse's strength is not much worse than the cavalry of Sisong.

Therefore, the members of the Eastern Song Dynasty United States Conference are not afraid of the invasion of the Western Song Dynasty, but the time is not good at this time... Internal concerns and external troubles, things are not easy!

Just as lawmakers were worried, the parliamentary chairman Song Yi announced a surprise message.

"Religious members, according to reliable information, the North Zhou is plotting to attack me!"

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

"What?"The kingdom of the week?”

“How is it possible...”

“Is that true?”

“Both countries are friends for more than 200 years!”

"It's impossible, I saw the guests yesterday, and it's safe!"

“Crystal . . .

Song Yi took a wooden hammer and tapped on a small leather drum on the table, and suddenly quieted down in the middle of the synagogue.

Song Yu said, “Now it is up to His Excellency the Prime Minister to speak.”

The Prime Minister stood up, bowed to the emperor Zhao Hao, and then nodded to the government: "Just three days ago, Zhou Guo sent a huge fleet including three first-class battleships, including Shenzhou, Republic, and Jofa, to the South Ocean in the name of escorting Wu Yuankai to Egypt and Queen Anna to be married."

In addition, the U.S. government also received reliable information that there is a wealth of bird manure resources in the island of bird droppings and the guano desert in the southern province of South America.It can’t be mined in 50 years!”

According to the rules of procedure of the United Council, there can be no argument between members, and all members can only exchange views with the governing body – that is, the dialogue must take place between the parliamentarians and the councillors.

This is to prevent quarrels and fights between MPs...

“Lead the government,” the leader of the opposition party immediately stood up and asked, “maybe Zhou Guo wants to raise the price of bird droppings.”

Song Yi asked Wen Dao-sheng: "Prime Minister, please answer."

“Negotiations on the price of guano have broken down,” Wen said, “and Zhou has no intention of resuming supply.”

“Can we find a new bird dropping island?”

“The Prime Minister...”

"It hasn't been found yet!Our stock will be exhausted during the year.From next year, there will be a huge gap in our food supply!”

"Insurance, can we make up for it through imports?"There is enough food in the city, there is enough food in Siam, and there is also a lot of land to be reclaimed in Siam.”

"If the Zhou country does not intend to attack from the sea, the supply of food will not be too tight ... but from the current indications, Zhou is preparing for war!"

The focus of the United States meeting turned from food supplies to the imminent war!

Prime Minister Wences Farther presented many evidence of the war being prepared by Zhou, mainly secret reports from military commanders and Huai Shangzhou.

War preparation is impossible without signs!

The war has been planned for more than a decade, and it has been several years since the real fanfare began to be prepared.

The most obvious preparation for war is the huge naval shipbuilding program.

Both the Eastern Song and Zhou were world empires that relied on maritime hegemony, and both countries had great potential for war.It is difficult for anyone to win quickly in the battle on land, so the decisive victory of the naval battle is particularly critical.

And the sea war can quickly divide the victory!

Because both countries must defend their maritime routes, it is impossible to make enemies in the form of "guaranteed ships".

Therefore, after the successful re-election of Wu Yuanlong as the head of state, he immediately promoted the construction of the "Sea King" class of 10 "Sea King" class battleships.

The Sea King class is a new ship developed on the basis of the Shenzhou class.This type of battleship has an empty displacement of 60,000 stone and 120 cannons.

It is also equipped with four 10-inch-caliber giant guns cast using the secret hollow casting method.This giant can fire a powerful heavy flowering shell, only need a hit, you can hit or even sink a first-class battleship!

Although this cast iron cannon is still a secret weapon, the construction of the 10 Sea King class cannot always be kept secret.

So the United States of the East Song Dynasty has discovered the shipbuilding plan of the big week, and also has a corresponding plan - they will also build 10 new first-class battleships!

However, the Eastern Song's shipbuilding plan was launched late, so their 10 new first-class battleships will be backward in service.

So the Eastern Song Navy will have a dangerous period!

Another case that can prove that there is an attempt to go to war in the big week is the amendment of the Citizens Law and the Military Service Law.

The Senate of the Great Republic is discussing the amendment of the Citizens Act, which has been in force for more than 200 years, and will introduce universal citizenship—that is, no longer distinguish between civilians, citizens, and citizens no longer hierarchically.

Of course, voting restrictions exist.However, only tax payments and military service restrictions will be made.Emphasis is placed on the relationship between citizen contributions and referendums.

At the same time as the distribution of civil rights, being a soldier has become a universal obligation!

Since all citizens of the Republic are equal, they have an obligation to defend the country.

Now is the era of line infantry... The era of online infantry has become the main force in the battlefield, and it is easy for the party with more troops to win the war.

Because the queuing shot is difficult to hit too much casualties, kill the enemy 1000, self-damage at least 500.

So many people are always easy to win.

There are a lot of people in the country now, and there are 108 million!Most of them are not citizens and have no obligation to defend the country.Therefore, without amending the Citizenship Law, there is no way to turn the advantage of the population into a military advantage.

Once the Citizens Law and the Military Service Law are amended, the Republic of Great Britain and Northern States will be able to recruit a large army that can hang two Songs.

In addition, the amendments to the Citizens Act, the Military Service Act, and the Naval Expansion Program are matched by the expansion of the Knights College and the Naval Academy.

With officers, you can organize the troops, so that the fleet can exert its power.

The sum total of the situation of Lin Lin Lin pointed to a point in which the Great Zhou Republic was preparing for a large-scale war.

And the enemies who can make the Zhou Republic carefully prepared are only the East and the West in this world.

When Wesheng put the evidence of a big week of war in front of the assembled parliamentarians, everyone was shocked.

Their United States is facing an unprecedented crisis!

“What should we do?”Someone asked out loud.

“Fighting, of course!”Immediately, someone replied, “The Great Song is not afraid of war!”

Are you really not afraid?

Not many members responded.

The leader of the government, Song Yi looked at the Prime Minister, Wein, “Prime Minister, what should we do?”

Wentao said: "In order to lead the government, we should first consider working with Chang'an!"

There was another uproar in the hall.

“How can you join forces with the chicks?”

“Yes, they hit us three times.”

“My heart will not die!”

“Song Yu!” he shouted at the same time, “Silence!”Quietly . . . listen to the Prime Minister."

The literati cleared his throat and shouted, “Gentlemen, please listen to a certain word.”Now the world is three points, and the three-point situation can be maintained, relying on the two countries to work together to create one.No matter which country wants to break the balance of the three countries, it will be broken by the joint efforts of the other two countries.In the past, the Changan side wanted to break the balance of power, so our country will break it with the United Zhou.But now the world has changed greatly, the northwest is broken and the northern country is extremely prosperous.If China wants to maintain the balance of power among the three countries, there is no way to do it, it can only join forces with Chang'an.

As long as we can join forces with Chang'an, our country is undefeated and undefeated can stop the war.Even if the war is not ended, it can be won.”

“But is the rongan willing to join forces with us?”Someone asked out loud right away.

Wencesheng smiled and rushed to lead the government, Song Yi nodded, "leading the government, the cabinet is negotiating with the secret mission of Chang'an, and has now reached a preliminary agreement to jointly curb Zhou Guo!"

There was an uproar in the hall again.

He beat the drums and shouted, “Silence.”

The literate half-turned and worshipped the heavenly son who was dressed as a half-day puppet on the throne.

Zhao Hao coughed: "The country is in an eventful autumn, and it must be fully dealt with by the multi-party coalition government."I organized a new multi-party coalition government in the war with the orders of Weodoson, so as to overcome the difficulties of 50 states.I hope that you can support the Prime Minister and his leadership of the party and the coalition government...”

Although the United States of the East Song Dynasty was loose and collapsed, it did not experience wind and rain.To be able to win the three Central Plains wars is naturally not a general generation.

The formation of a multi-party coalition government in wartime is the practice of the previous two Central Plains wars.

In addition, once the multi-party coalition government is formed in time, the parties that form the United Assembly are equal to the same warship, and must work together to prevent the ship from overturning.

Zhao Hao's speech was tantamount to declaring that the country was already in a wartime, or at least quasi-wartime state.

It is now up to the members of the United Nations that, if the majority of the votes had supported the emperor's proposal, then the wartime coalition government could begin to form.

The vote in the Council of the United States was very serious, not only to raise a hand, but to all stand up, and to be divided into two teams—the support of the team, the one against.Then the votes can be counted by the votes of the leaders of the government ... and all the votes are written, and each member of parliament votes must be archived.

The result of the day's vote was a high vote to adopt a resolution to organize a wartime coalition government!

The United States of the East and Song Dynasty also entered a state of war.

The formation of the wartime coalition government was also extremely rapid, and it was announced only one day later.

On the same day that the coalition government was established in time for wartime, Prime Minister Wencesche issued four successive orders.

The first was to order the signatures of representatives to the two Songs Agreement between Jiangzhou and the Western Song Peace Talks, ending the two-hundred-year-old hostility.

The second order was given to the Southern Fleet, which ordered the Southern Fleet to follow the Zhou Guoqiu with a strong tracking escort of Wu Yuan Casey, and must keep track of their movements at all times.

The third way is not the form of the command, but the request.Ask Zhao Hao to let the Crown Prince go to the new Kaifeng House in the New Song Kingdom.

The fourth order was given to the Eastern Song Embassy in Tianjin, and they were given an ultimatum to the Western Song Embassy in Tianjin: the Grand Zhou Republic was asked to resume the guano trade, and the shipbuilding project to break the balance between the two navies was suspended.Otherwise, the two Songs will work together to implement countermeasures against the big week!
