Republic of China game

In the living room of the Soviet embassy in China, the Soviet Chargé d’Affaires Zirnekh was reading the instructions just sent by the Communist International to the leaders of the Communist Party of China Li Lisan, Wang Ming, Deng Xixian and others.Unsurprisingly, Stalin once again vetoed the request to go to war against the Feng faction, and even at the end of the instruction asked the CCP to continue to implement the decision to retreat from the Northeast!

There is silence in the room now, and everyone, including Zirnech, is silent without saying a word.Now everyone doesn't know what to say?Now Stalin has repeatedly rejected the CCP’s development in the Northeast. It is obvious that he has reached some kind of secret agreement with Japan!And this agreement is likely to betray China's interests!So now Stalin has been secretive and unwilling to explain the whole story.

After being silent for a long time, Ziernech took a last look at the CCP leader who looked listless in the living room, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Comrades, the instructions of the Communist International have pointed out the direction of the next stage of work for you. Direction... Helping or transforming the Fengtian warlords to revolutionize them is the focus of your work! Therefore, you can't make too high demands on the aftermath of the 'Hailar Incident'."

"Then shall we accept the one country, two systems proposed by the Kuomintang and join the coalition government?" Li Lisan glanced at the Soviet Union's "Supreme Emperor" and asked in a low voice.

Zirnykh lowered his head and thought for a while. Stalin didn't give instructions on this matter... The lack of instructions means that you can figure it out.If it messes up it's all your fault, if it works it's all my fault!

"Relationships with the Kuomintang, you can decide for yourself. But you must not really trust these reactionaries. You must cooperate with them while fighting. You must cooperate and fight. Everything must proceed from the highest interests of the world revolution and the Chinese revolution. ……So be it."

This remark was vague and ambiguous, and it really captured the essence of bureaucracy.It seems that Comrade Zirnekh still has a good chance of surviving the terrible era of Soviet purges.

……

Beijing, Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall.

"Gentlemen, Mr. Sun's appointment as president has received the unanimous support of all parties and factions. However... the election of the president cannot be done in such a hasty way. There must be a congressional process. Our proposal is made by the provinces, the special Districts and localities elect representatives of the National Assembly. Thirty provincial-level administrative regions across the country, each administrative region recommends four representatives, a total of 120 people, to form a National Assembly, which elects the President and Vice President. At the same time, the Prime Minister will also be appointed by the President In the future, it will be approved by the National Assembly, and the candidates for the cabinet will be nominated by the Prime Minister and voted by the National Assembly. Do you think there is any problem with this procedure? If not, how about we finalize it?"

It was Wang Jingwei, a representative of the Kuomintang, who said this.These days, the peace conferences of various factions in Beijing were finally not affected by the "Hairar Incident" and were able to continue.At present, not only the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, the Youth Party, and the Fengjun factions, but even Duan Qirui from Shandong and Yan Xishan from Shanxi have sent representatives to attend the meeting.

All the factions at the meeting took pride in it, and unanimously agreed to support Sun Yat-sen as president, Zhang Zuolin as vice president, Zeng Qi as prime minister, and Wang Jingwei as vice prime minister.The CCP did not participate in this coalition government, but it reached an agreement with the Kuomintang privately on "one country, two systems", which actually divided the sphere of influence in China and avoided unnecessary conflicts for a period of time.

However, the so-called "peaceful reunification" this time is actually to install a central government acceptable to all factions in a divided China.And the original territory and army of each party and faction have all been maintained, and they have not been touched at all.In fact, the Kuomintang itself is not willing to give up the two major interests of the National Government and the National Revolutionary Army, and it is also firmly grasping the territory of the [-] provinces.To achieve true unification... I am afraid that a war is inevitable!All the factions at the meeting knew this in their hearts, they just didn't say it out loud.

Seeing that the representatives of all factions nodded frequently, and no one raised any objections, Wang Jingwei started to raise the next topic, his voice sounded a little low:

"Since the central government is a coalition government of various factions, the government's expenses should naturally be borne by the various factions. But fortunately, our China is now self-governing. The central government has not yet unified the military administration, so it does not have to bear military expenses. Expenses...just some of the daily expenses of the central government, the expenses of diplomatic agencies, and the debts left over from the previous government. 5000 million French currency per year is enough to deal with it...Our national government has the largest territory and naturally has the greatest responsibility, so we will bear it Among them, 4000 million, and the remaining 1000 million will be borne by the provinces, special regions, and localities other than Tibet and Mongolia, how about on average?"

When it comes to money... the faces of the representatives of the various factions are more or less pained, but fortunately, each province is only about 80 million, which is not a large sum, so let's bear with it.Isn't it worth turning against the Kuomintang for these small money?

"The seat of the central government is still Beijing, and the presidential palace is located in Zhongnanhai. The defense of Beijing will be jointly controlled by the four factions of the Kuomintang, the Youth Party, the Communist Party, and the Fengjun. The central government controls that factions are not allowed to sign contracts with foreign countries, but the treaties made before can continue to be implemented. The navy and army of each faction remain as they are, and the Ministry of Army and Navy established by the central government are only responsible for coordinating and issuing orders from the president..."

"...the list of ministers of the Central Government and the State Council is as follows: Army Minister Wu Peifu (Zhi Gong Dang), Navy Minister Sa Zhenbing (KMT), Finance Minister Wang Jingwei (KMT), Education Minister Li Buwei (Youth Party), Foreign Minister Chen Youren (KMT) ), Minister of Industry Chen Jiongming (Zhi Gongdang), Minister of Transportation Zuo Shunsheng (Shabaab), Minister of Justice..."

"...In the end, it is a matter of peaceful coexistence of all factions! Now that there is a central government, Mr. Sun also has the support of all factions to become the president. Then in the future, if there are any conflicts between the various factions, no knife or gun can be used. It’s up! President Sun Da should come forward to make a ruling! The army in everyone’s hands is for defending the country, not for private wars between parties! Do you think this is acceptable?”

As soon as Wang Jingwei said these last words, there was a sudden silence in the venue, and private wars between factions are prohibited!It sounds like a good thing to say.But the problem is that there is still a premise that the contradictions between the various factions will be adjudicated by Sun Yat-sen, the great president!And Sun Yat-sen is an "old tease" of the Kuomintang. Can it be fair and just for him to make a ruling?But who would dare to say such an objection?

……

Has peace really come?

August of the 17th year of the Republic of China.After 17 years and seven months of tossing, the Republic of China seems to be finally at peace!

Following this time, the results of the peace conference of various factions in Beijing were disclosed in newspapers across China.The streets and alleys of all parts of China started talking about it. This time the peace meeting of various factions in Beijing seems to be more effective than the previous two, because this time Sun Yat-sen was elected!China's number one revolutionary leader is also the most powerful warlord right now!They own a whole fourteen provinces!It occupies almost half of China's territory, and this financial and military power overwhelms the sum of all other factions!This president seems to be the most powerful head of state since the Yuan Dynasty.Everyone dug up the thousands of years of China's past, and compared it with this peace meeting, we really saw a little sign of peace and prosperity.Sun Yat-sen is really a bit like the founding emperors of various dynasties when they ascended the throne, and the world has generally stabilized.The princes and princes of the separatists all over the country also surrendered one after another. Although they still have a certain strength, no one has the power to challenge the throne... The common people in this troubled world always yearn for a peaceful and prosperous world. Been on the road for a while.

"Hey! Our Republic of China has finally produced a real dragon emperor. It seems that the days to come will be better? Maybe we can also see the peace and prosperity."

"Peace and prosperity! Oh, that's on the stage. I heard that the book said..."Do not close the door at night, do not pick up lost things on the road". Is there really such a world?"

"I hope... It's just that there is a new dynasty at the moment, and there is still a long way to go! Those warlords and princes are still supporting their own self-respect. I am afraid that the battle to destroy the feudal clan will be inevitable in the future... and Sun Dapao is now young. The matter is already high, and I don't know who will take over the throne after he controls the funeral!"

"Who's going to pick it up? It's inevitable that there will be another gunfire grabbing the throne! Now we can only hope that the Sun Emperor will live a long life and solve all kinds of problems while he is alive. There is only hope in a peaceful and prosperous world!"

A problem that can be seen by ordinary people in the market.The leaders of all factions naturally have such thoughts.While Sun Yat-sen was alive, the Kuomintang was monolithic and its strength was at its peak.Whoever takes the lead at this time and challenges President Sun's authority is a fool, and it will definitely not end well.So now everyone can only bear with it, anyway, Sun Yat-sen is now over 60 years old and has cancer!Maybe it will die in a few years... The Kuomintang will definitely have civil strife by then!This time is the opportunity for the big guys to come out and compete.Now I can only keep my eyebrows low and be pleasing to the eye, strive to coexist peacefully with the Kuomintang, and first preserve my strength.

……

"Brother Fuwen has made such great contributions to President Sun this time, should he be promoted again after he returns?"

The person who said this was Zeng Qi of the Youth Party, the prime minister of the next government, and this time he was the representative who went south to meet President Sun Da and went north.Now he and Luo Yaoguo are sitting face to face on the special plane flying to Wuhan.

Luo Yaoguo nodded, and smiled faintly: "If you can get the rank of Marshal, next time you see me, you will call me Marshal."

Zeng Qi chuckled: "Then you have to call me Zhongtang too, it's only fair if we have a big boss and a Zhongtang."

"Brother Mu Han, the President is very old now, and his health is not very good recently. You are now the Prime Minister. Please take care of the political affairs and don't make the President overworked."

Luo Yaoguo looked at Zeng Qi peacefully, and his tone was also slightly worried about Sun Yat-sen's body.Since the end of the 12th year of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen underwent surgery to remove the cancer, and his body recovered well for a time.But that was all under the condition of long-term recuperation. If he really resumed his work and became the president of this troubled country, his physical condition would be really worrying.

Zeng Qi was silent for a while, frowned slightly, looked at Luo Yaoguo, and asked solemnly: "Brother Fuwen, to be honest, if the President is really gone someday...can your Kuomintang maintain unity?"

This question is probably the biggest question in the minds of all powerful factions in China right now?Luo Yaoguo glanced at Zeng Qi, and nodded without hesitation: "Brother Mu Han, don't worry, our KMT will definitely stabilize the situation. There will be some minor disputes at most, but there will be no major troubles. The President has already I have made arrangements for this day, the current KMT is not a few years ago, if... this day comes a few years later, then there will be no problem!"

"Really?" Zeng Qi glanced at Luo Yaoguo with a complicated expression.

Luo Yaoguo said with a smile: "The Kuomintang has never been very united. If the president leaves, some internal disputes will inevitably arise. But fortunately, the National Revolutionary Army has gradually got rid of the warlord status and is transitioning into a national army. As long as The various factions have no way to use the army to participate in the political struggle, so where can the chaos go? In the end, compromise is inevitable. If the army of the whole country can do this at some time, then China will be considered truly stable, and all parties and factions will We can really live in peace.”

Zeng Qi snorted lightly, and thought to himself: "If Sun Yat-sen is now the same age as you, Luo Yaoguo, then there is still hope that he can gradually train all the troops in the country. But how many years does this great president still have to live? All parties Who among the factions is stretching their necks and waiting for the day when the heroes will compete?"

Chapter 0351 Scarlet Mongolia ([-])

Moscow, Kremlin.

There was a snap.Stalin turned off the radio in the office. This seemingly reactionary radio had just reported to Stalin that Sun Yat-sen had become the president of the Republic of China!What made Stalin even more unbearable was that the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union actually sent a congratulatory message for this!And this congratulatory message was sent in his name!Although this was nothing more than hypocritical diplomacy, it still made him uncomfortable.

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Bukharin, and Comrade Molotov, please see me."

As soon as the office door opened, Secretary Baronov's gentle and respectful voice came in.

"Please come in."

Stalin adjusted his clothes, stood at the door of the office, squeezed out a little smile, saw Bukharin and Molotov walking side by side, and waved at them: "Comrade Bukharin, Molotov Comrade Tov, please come in, I have something important to discuss with you."

Since the defeat of the second Russo-Japanese War, Stalin's position in the party has been shaken, perhaps in order to win the support of his comrades, he is now a little more modest in his dealings with others.Today, I personally stood at the door of the office to greet Bukharin and Molotov. This made the two big bosses of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union a little flattered, especially Molotov, who was relatively junior.

After the three exchanged a few pleasantries, Stalin invited them into his office.He pointed to the sofa beside him and signaled them to sit down, but he brought a baton and walked to the front of the map.

"This is the People's Republic of Mongolia." Stalin pointed to the location of Mongolia on the map, frowned slightly, and still called it Mongolia:

"Now there is an army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, but with a very complex composition, which has entered the Eastern Province of the Mongolian Republic. This army has about 4 to [-] people, and its weapons and equipment are relatively simple. There are not many cannons, but machine guns and rifles. There seems to be no shortage. What do you think should be done with this army? Is it possible for our people to master it and devote it to the cause of the Chinese revolution?"

After Stalin finished asking, he put down his baton, took out a carved pipe from his pocket, struck a match, lit the tobacco leaves that had already been packed, and then smoked one by one.

Molotov, who was sitting by the side, still looked respectful, and was not overjoyed by Stalin's courtesy. He already had an answer to Stalin's question, or he had already figured out Stalin's intention.He stood up, smiled and replied:

"Comrade Stalin, our leadership over the Chinese Red Army is somewhat weak. Their army is firmly in the hands of some intellectuals and petty bourgeois. The real Chinese Bolsheviks have not controlled the army. Now this Chinese army that has entered Mongolia The Red Army gave us a good chance. It's just..."

Molotov stopped abruptly in the middle of his words. He suddenly thought that the Soviet Red Army had already withdrawn from Mongolia.Although the Mongolian People's Army is still firmly controlled by the Soviet Union, can they force the Chinese Red Army to submit obediently?

Stalin smiled and nodded, and took Molotov's words: "Our Red Army no longer exists in the Mongolian Republic, but the Mongolian People's Army is stronger than the wandering Chinese Red Army in terms of equipment and numbers. ! Even the soldiers are much bigger. With the help of Mongolian comrades, the Chinese Bolsheviks will be able to successfully control this army!"

Having said this, Stalin put the pipe in his mouth again and started smoking.A pair of piercing and sharp eyes turned to Bukharin, as if asking for his opinion.Bukharin is now the secretary of the Political Secretariat of the Comintern and the actual leader of the Comintern. Both the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party and the Communist Party of China are members of the Comintern. In theory, Bukharin is their boss.

Of course Bukharin understood what was in Stalin's mind. The idea of ​​truly controlling the Chinese Red Army and making it an important tool for defending the Soviet Union was not limited to Stalin alone.It's just that it seems a little far away from this goal at the moment.

"Comrade Stalin, it would be great if we could help the Bolsheviks in China to control this army... But what if it fails? They also have [-] to [-] troops! The Mongolian People's Army is not much larger than them. If there is a fight in Ulaanbaatar..." Bukharin stammered out his hidden worries.
