Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the Nanjing government expressed its tough attitude towards Japan, the Nanjing political arena seemed to be quiet for a while.  The elders never impeached Sun Ke or Zhao Zeyong again.  The administrative personnel of the Nanjing government have been successfully changed. They have removed those scum who rely on connections to get a solid job, who are not doing anything but still get high wages, and who are incompetent and proficient in doing things. The administrative efficiency has been greatly improved, and many inter-provincial personnel have been added.  All service procedures basically followed the federal-provincial system, and government offices began to become more formal and modern.  But everything is not that simple.  It was not so smooth at the local level. Although a large number of local officials were replaced, the newly appointed personnel sent by Nanjing were basically ignored. The staff below were disobeying the government and the government orders could not be implemented at all.  Obviously the people below are waiting and watching. They will never take a stand until the battle between Zhao Zeyong and the old forces is over and the winner is determined.  And the elders are not as calm as they appear on the surface. They no longer fight with Zhao Zeyong, but they start to frequently collude with others outside.  I have contact with Jiang Xiashi in Japan and Wang Jingwei in France, and have frequent contacts.  Apparently the elders had other plans and began to prepare for Jiang Jieshi and Wang Jingwei to come back to power.  Asking Sun Ke to declare to Japan and limiting the Japanese to withdraw within three months has actually pushed Zhao Zeyong to the edge, and he can only confront the Japanese head-on. Once he fails, China's evidence will be shuffled, and Jiang Jingshi and Wang Jingwei are likely to come back again.  Get on stage.  As for who supports the two to come to power, it depends on which of them pays the higher price and who can provide more benefits to the elders.  Not just hooking up outside.  The elders at home are not idle either.  They sent people to Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and even Zhang Xueliang.  It's nothing more than a promise to show favor.  I hope these warlords can support the elders, huh.  It is to support the party-state. We must not let the foundation of the party-state be damaged by a few individuals.  And I also hope that these warlords can stand with them. If Zhao Zeyong loses all his power to the Japanese in the future, then with these guns around, the elders will have more confidence to speak.  If Zhao Zeyong does not collapse, both the Japanese and Zhao Zeyong will suffer losses. China's political situation will still have to be reshuffled. At least it will not be possible for the United Provinces to dominate.  The princes from all walks of life are bound to rise up and fight for it again. Once a civil war breaks out, it will be easier to recruit these warlords with guns in their hands.  This is still the same method used by Sun Yat-sen back then, to win over warlords and fight against warlords. It's not that they don't learn from Sun Yat-sen's failure, it's because they only know this way.  These methods could not be concealed from Zhao Zeyong, but they did not stop him.  Because Zhao Zeyong knew.  At this time, these things are secondary, and the most important thing is Japan.  It depends on whether the Nationalist Government can survive the challenge against Japan.  If Japan withdraws its troops as scheduled, everything will be easy to say.  If Japan does not withdraw its troops, the Nationalist Government will actually push itself into danger and will have no choice but to resort to force as the last resort.  This is what the elders are waiting for.  And Zhao Zeyong was waiting for this result.  Once there is a fight with the Japanese, everything will be easy if they win. Zhao Zeyong will continue to be his strongman president, and Sun Ke will continue to hang out among the hawks.  If we lose the battle, let alone the elders colluding with Chiang Kai-shek.  They colluded with Wang Jingwei, but they didn't take action.  Sun Ke had to step down, and Zhao Zeyong could no longer keep his seat.  Even worse, China will be subjugated, or at least the National Government that has just unified the country will collapse.  If the Japanese win, they will either directly overthrow the National Government and replace it with an obedient government, such as re-supporting Beiyang's rise to power, or directly destroy China and incorporate China into their own colonies. Of course, this is too difficult, and I am afraid the international community will not agree.  But Zhao Zeyong does not believe that the Japanese can completely defeat China, at least it is impossible to defeat China to the point of national subjugation.  Instead, Zhao Zeyong was thinking about how to win against Japan.  The British have won the war, so are they still afraid of Japan?  It would be great to have a large-scale land war with the Japanese like the British.  It's amazing that the United Provinces are conducting a general mobilization. The last time they formed an army of 800,000, they were a lie. This time, the United Provinces are really capable of forming an army of 800,000.  The Hanyang Arsenal and the Chengdu Arsenal have both completed transformation and expansion. Together with the Mengzi Arsenal, they are enough to support the combat consumption of 800,000 people.  Zhao Zeyong does not believe that the Japanese are willing to fight a million-dollar war with China.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  Zhao Zeyong's secret activities are actually quite frequent.  When he first came to power, he promised the elders that they would not re-elect for five years, and this was quickly confirmed through legal means. However, not re-electing does not mean that expansion of elections is not possible.  Sun Ke was immediately asked to introduce a bill to expand the number of legislators in each province. Instead of using the past appointment system and invitation system for expanded candidates, elections were actually held and people from all democratic parties were widely invited to participate in the election.  This is so popular that all the flowers that the democratic parties have been waiting for for this opportunity have faded.They took action one after another.  When the elders saw what was happening, they immediately began to curse. This was to divide the power of the Kuomintang. The Kuomintang had just succeeded in the revolution. What kind of birds are those democratic parties? They had nothing to do during the revolution. Now that they have succeeded, they risk it.  Out.  As for Zhao Zeyong, he is indeed a traitor to the party and state. He is just inviting the wolf into the house.  ¡°But no matter how much you scold, you can¡¯t stop the expansion of elections. With the support of Zhao Zeyong, various places are advancing steadily.  The elders panicked. If the democratic parties started running for elections while Jiang was here, Jiang would dare to hire thugs to destroy them as long as they dared to go to the streets to canvass for votes. As long as they dared to organize a parade, Jiang would dare to let the troops start.  gun.  Not to mention that it takes courage to be a dictator, and you need to risk being scolded.  Jiang Xiashi had the courage, but the elders did not. Of course, they did not have the strength. They had neither the capital to find the gangsters nor the soldiers with guns. All they had was some fame.  Now when they meet Zhao Zeyong, who has money and guns, they find that their qualifications are of no use at all. To put it bluntly, qualifications only count if others give them face, and if they don't give face, it doesn't count.  Come on, covert sabotage won't work, so let's do it head-on. ????????????? It¡¯s hard to say that Zhao Zeyong¡¯s move is not without resistance to the elders.  Isn't it just an election? The battle is about who is popular enough, who has enough connections, who dares to speak big words and make promises, and who is thick-skinned enough to ask for votes.  In addition, where is the prestige of the veteran faction? If you don't believe it, you won't be able to compete with the Democrats.  So the elders went shirtless and took to the streets to use their reputation and prestige to canvass votes for their descendants.  Of course, there are also those who want to use dirty methods, such as vote bribery, fraud, etc.  However, there are many people monitoring the election this time. All democratic parties have sent people to supervise the election. Once something fishy is discovered, newspapers will immediately report it, and a large number of people will be disqualified immediately.  At the same time, reporters are also enthusiastic. As talented literati, reporters are actually very yearning for Western democracy. They have always only seen the benefits of Western political systems and turned a blind eye to the disadvantages. At this time, China is also going to follow this path. Can they not  It¡¯s weird to contribute.  Many reporters squatted directly next to the polling places. When they saw the voters voting, they went up to interview them to investigate the authenticity and whether there was any fraud.  As a result, some of them really came to vote, but were scared away by reporters. They threw down their ballots to show that they were just for fun, not to vote, and that everything had nothing to do with them.  Don¡¯t underestimate the IQ of the Chinese people. Chinese people can also play with the votes that foreigners can play.  In China in later generations, you can vote for school beauties, model workers, moral models, the most beautiful rural teachers, the most beautiful nurses, the most beautiful voices in China, you can choose anything, just choose a congressman, it¡¯s just a trivial matter.  The campaign consumed a lot of energy among the elders, and for a while they were unable to muster the energy to fight Zhao Zeyong secretly.  The undercurrent seems to have subsided.  And the passage of time will never stop. Three months have passed in a flash. New Year's Day has passed, January and February have passed, and time has quickly arrived in March, and the time for Japan to withdraw its troops is coming.  (To be continued.
