Republic of China game

After listening to Zhang Naiqi's precise and in-depth analysis, Chen Yi took a deep breath: "According to Mr. Zhang, if China joins the dollar bloc, does it mean a war with Japan?"

Zhang Naiqi smiled bitterly: "Of course! How could Japan just sit back and watch their interests in China be completely seized by the United States?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to General Deng Yanda who was sitting next to Liao Zhongkai.He is the only "military strategist" here right now, so you can only ask him if you win or not.

Facing everyone's eyes, Deng Yanda's eyebrows were tightly knit into a ball, as if he was thinking hard about the power comparison between China and Japan: "At present, the army of the Nationalist government is capable of fighting, but Japan's strength is not just Army. They are the powers that have dominated the East Ocean for many years. They defeated Tsarist Russia in the Tsushima naval battle more than 20 years ago, and now they have the third largest navy in the world! I am afraid we are not opponents. And China is a country with a long coastline .If war starts with Japan, I am afraid that the strength of the National Revolutionary Army will be deployed in the coastal areas to prevent the Japanese army from landing. The vast areas of Northeast China and North China are probably..."

Chapter 0382 Half-Empire, Half-Colony ([-])

In the midwinter of January [-], a somewhat nonsensical new term began to spread in Beijing: semi-imperial, semi-colonial, referring to the current China.

China is now a semi-imperial, semi-colonial country!Uh, it sounds like it is a bit more progressive than semi-feudal and semi-colonial countries.

Luo Yaoguo first heard this term at the gate of Qianmen Railway Station in Beijing.During this period of time, the KMT’s top leaders were arguing endlessly over whether to join the dollar group. Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo, among the rightists, held high the signs of being pro-American, willing to be the running dogs of the US emperor, and strongly advocated joining the dollar group.However, Liao Zhongkai, Deng Yanda, and Wang Jingwei have temporarily formed an alliance, insisting on maintaining an independent monetary policy, opposing the peg between the French currency and the U.S. dollar, and even proposed to limit the investment of Western imperialist countries such as Britain, the United States, France, and Germany in South China.It is required that a Sino-Japanese joint steel plant be established near the Pukou Meishan Iron Mine to protect China's national industry.It seems that the leftists and Wang Jingwei have reached a compromise to some extent.As for the Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi factions among the rightists, they kept silent this time, neither speaking nor expressing their views, as if they were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.As a result, the lawsuit went all the way from the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee to Zhongnanhai in Beijing.As the leaders of the so-called pro-American faction, Luo Yaoguo and Song Ziwen flew to Beijing to lobby Sun Yat-sen.

On this day, Luo Yaoguo and Song Ziwen probably ate too much for lunch... In order to help digestion, they left the car in good condition and instead walked to Zhongnanhai to meet Sun Yat-sen.As a result, I met an acquaintance at the Qianmen Railway Station across Zhongnanhai Street—the beautiful female revolutionary Qu Ying of the Communist Party of China.

With the eyesight of Luo Yaoguo's pilot, he could see Qu Xiaomei standing on a high place from a distance.Qu Ying has grown up a bit now, and has become more beautiful and charming. She has short ear-length hair, which is the most common among female students, and is wearing a long black woolen coat. above the temporary podium.Surrounding her was a large group of "fans", most of whom were young men in school uniforms, holding various placards in their hands.However, it seems that what is written on it is not some nasty words like "Qu Ying Qu Ying, I love you", but revolutionary slogans such as "Down with imperialism" and "Down with the comprador bourgeoisie"!It seems that the little girl is still doing revolutionary work now, and has not changed her career to become a movie star or a singer, which all the little girls in South China wanted to be the most... In fact, if she is willing to change careers under her conditions, she should be popular.

While thinking wildly like this, Luo Yaoguo tugged Song Ziwen beside him, and walked over to Qu Ying involuntarily.Look at the beauties of the Republic of China, listen to the revolutionary speeches, uh, it really has the atmosphere of the Republic of China.

"My compatriots, China is still at a critical moment of national peril! The victory of the national revolution has been usurped by a small group of comprador bourgeoisie!"

What Qu Ying is talking about now is a good Beijing movie, coupled with her silver bell-like voice, it really is a pity not to sing.At this time, the little beauty seemed to have seen Luo Yaoguo and Song Ziwen who were squeezing into the crowd, and glanced in their direction with bright eyes, smiled slightly, and continued to speak:

"Compatriots, you may ask, hasn't China risen now? Hasn't it already defeated the Soviet Union? Hasn't it completed reunification and started a peaceful and prosperous age? How can such a country be at the critical point of national peril? What about the moment? And what I want to tell you is that the current so-called peace and prosperity and the rise of China are a vain illusion! It is not a real rise, let alone a peace and prosperity. The current rise of China is actually a part of imperialism After seeing the strength of the Chinese people, he changed the means of aggression, cleverly dressed himself as a friend of China, and packaged the barbaric aggression and plunder as a peaceful investment. However, only the means have changed, and the purpose is still to plunder China Wealth and exploitation of the working people in China! The national government, which now rules over half of China, not only did not take any resistance to this disguised aggression of imperialism, but opened its doors to welcome the aggression and exploitation! Agents and lackeys!"

"What makes all Chinese people feel extremely distressed is that these former revolutionaries, after China was a little far from the danger of national subjugation, actually began to have evil thoughts of imperialism. Now they are acting as British and American imperialists in China. At the same time, they are actively expanding their armies and preparing for war, building up a large navy, and establishing an overall war system. They want to turn China into a war machine and act as the vanguard of the world imperialists invading the Soviet Union in the future! They want to pass on them by launching a war against the Soviet Union. The increasingly serious domestic crisis we are facing! This is the actual situation in China at the moment. On the one hand, it is enduring the plunder and exploitation of the British and American imperialists, and on the other hand, it wants to learn from imperialism to plunder the Soviet Union. The summary is: semi-imperial, semi-colonial! This is a reactionary system that is doomed to nowhere and is doomed to bring the Chinese nation into deep disaster and peril! Every patriot has an obligation and is determined to fight it to the end !Down with imperialism! Down with the Kuomintang reactionaries! Down with..."

Amid the sound of knocking down, leaflets of various colors also began to fly all over the sky.And the little beauty Qu Ying jumped down from the table of the Eight Immortals in a vigorous figure, and walked to Luo Yaoguo with a smile: "Luo Fuwen, what gust of wind brought you to Beijing, let's go... Let me invite you to dinner, uh, But I cook myself!"

"Okay! Qu Ying, what you said today is so exciting!" Luo Yaoguo clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "These things are all invented? Half empire, half colony! What a genius, to actually invent this kind of thing!" Words to describe the current China. Mr. Ziwen, don’t you think so?”

Song Ziwen adjusted his glasses, looked at the pair of live treasures in front of him with a look of dumbfounding, and shook his head helplessly: "Fuwen, let's hurry up to see the President, don't make him wait. This...Miss Qu, Can you and Fuwen's reminiscence move back a bit?"

……

"Hahaha! Half empire, half colony! How did these Chinese communists come up with it? It's really amazing. It hits the nail on the head!"

Sun Yat-sen, President Sun Da, slapped the desk.It seemed that he couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up and walked around quickly.Today, Sun Yat-sen met Luo Yaoguo, Song Ziwen, Liao Zhongkai, and Wang Jingwei at the same time in the Tong Ren Tang office.Seeing Sun Yat-sen standing up, the four of them hurriedly followed suit, standing in awe with their hands down, their faces full of humility, like obedient younger brothers.

"President, it turns out that you agree with the CCP's view, that would be great." Hearing Sun Yat-sen say that the Communists are great, Liao Zhongkai's face also brightened: "President, the CCP's statement is true. It makes sense, we really haven’t got rid of our semi-colonial status. At present, factories invested by imperialism are starting to be built everywhere in the southeast and south China coasts. Including electricity, steel, automobiles, shipbuilding, and chemicals, which are important to the national economy and the people’s livelihood. The industry is now infiltrated by imperialism! If this continues, China will really become an imperialist product dumping place, raw material production place, and production workshop! How is this different from subjugating a country and becoming a colony? Woolen cloth?"

Sun Yat-sen still had an indifferent smile on his face, and raised his finger to Luo Yaoguo: "Fuwen, tell Zhong Kai, what is the difference between us now and being a colony after subjugation."

Luo Yaoguo also smiled: "If our country is subjugated, I don't care what will happen to the common people. I only know that there is no president who can be the president, and I don't have the marshal who can be... This is the difference. For those of us who control the country For the powerful ruling class, if the power is there, it will prosper, and if it is lost, it will perish! Such important industries as electric power, steel, automobiles, shipbuilding, and chemical industry, which are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, will definitely perish if they are not there, even if they are a little less. Subjugate the country. The use of foreign capital and technology is the only way to build enough and good enough important industries in the shortest possible time, and it is also the only way to ensure the power and status of us people! As for how much the British and American imperialists have obtained from it Benefits, hehe, none of this is as important as our power and status."

"You!" Liao Zhongkai turned his head and stared at Luo Yaoguo with staring eyes. For a moment, he really didn't know what words to use to accuse this shameless guy.

Luo Yaoguo waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liao! These words are the truth. The country is actually a tool to protect the interests of the ruling class like us! Look at the domestic economic development of Britain, France, and Germany in Europe. , People look alike. But why are they divided into three countries? Isn’t it just because of the needs of their ruling class? If the ruling class does not exist, I believe that the three countries will merge in the first place. Uh, the Communist Party Isn’t that the same point of view? If people like us are wiped out all over the world, then there is no need for the country to exist... Mr. Liao, don’t you think so?”

Without waiting for Liao Zhongkai to answer, Luo Yaoguo laughed again and said, "Right now, monopoly consortiums in advanced imperialist countries like Britain, the United States and Germany have come to China to set up a large number of factories, especially heavy industry enterprises. Of course it is because we have A large market, rich resources, hardworking people, and our so-called agents who can maintain the stability of the country can make them profitable. But from another perspective, it is also conducive to stabilizing our rule , They came to open factories, created jobs, provided a large number of tax sources, and also allowed China to have a huge heavy industry capacity. When a world war breaks out in the future, these capacities will become an important part of China's war machine! Add to that our virtually limitless manpower and total warfare system...and we could be invincible!"

"Ridiculous!" Liao Zhongkai snorted, then looked at Sun Yat-sen without saying a word, waiting for the final answer.

When it comes to this point, it has all been made clear.In the long run, the policy adopted by the national government may not be in line with the interests of the country and the nation, but it is definitely beneficial to the interests of the ruling class...it depends on how Sun Yat-sen chooses.

There was silence in the room. The four of them looked at each other and I looked at you. Their faces were full of confidence, and they were only waiting for the ruling of the boss, Sun Yat-sen.

I don't know how long it took, but Sun Yat-sen sighed: "It's half empire and half colony... It's better than subjugation. Zhong Kai, our Kuomintang is such a party. It is not easy to go to half empire and half colony." No, we can’t ask too much. After all, we can’t compare with others, the CCP is able to endure hardships, is willing to sacrifice, and is clean..."

"President! But... Japan is determined not to let it go!" Liao Zhongkai was naturally at a loss, while Wang Jingwei stomped his feet and said: "We are now blindly pro-Europe and the Far East, while Japan Now there are signs of joining forces with the Soviet Union, if not for a far-sighted politician like Prime Minister Hamaguchi blocking it, I'm afraid... the disaster of national subjugation is in sight!"

Sun Yat-sen waved his hand: "This is the end of the matter. As for how to deal with the Japanese... Zhaoming, you should discuss it with Fuwen. Japan's oil and steel depend entirely on the United States. At present, the United States can support us. Is it true that Japan can support us?" Those who dare to come, so don’t be afraid of them.”

……

Beijing Picai Hutong, inside the Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Women's Higher Normal School, in a small dormitory for singles.A lonely man and a widow are sitting opposite each other.

There are several small dishes on the table, including fried pork slices with Chinese cabbage, fried tofu with Chinese cabbage, fried vermicelli with Chinese cabbage, a plate of golden scrambled eggs and a bottle of Erguotou.Now it is the 20s, and there are no green vegetables available in winter in Beijing, and even if they are available, they are too expensive to die.With the little girl Qu Ying's meager salary, she couldn't afford it...so Chinese cabbage was the main thing on the table.

Probably because the revolutionary funds provided by the CCP were really not enough, so Comrade Qu Ying found a job as a substitute teacher after the revolution, teaching English in the Women's Normal University.You can also have more than 20 legal currency per month. If you don't like to dress up too much, you should be able to eat better.

Inside the room, the little girl took off the long woolen coat.Wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam with a red satin surface, Luo Yaoguo displayed his exquisite and embossed figure in front of Luo Yaoguo's eyes.She had a delicate and pretty face, smiling slightly, with a pair of big watery eyes flickering at Luo Yaoguo who was sitting opposite.I don't know what she thinks in her heart?Today, when I was giving a speech during the day, I kept saying that I would overthrow the Kuomintang reactionaries, but at night, I actually shared a room with a certain reactionary... Alas, it seems that the CCP has not gone through a brutal revolutionary struggle.

"Fuwen, have you seen the president today? What did he say?" The little girl tilted her head, her ignorant look was surprisingly cute.It's just that I don't know if it's just pretending, and it sounds like I have a mission to listen to this question.

"The President praised you for coming, for being smart, for coming up with the term 'semi-imperial, semi-colonial'." Luo Yaoguo said with a smile.

Qu Ying's pretty face blushed slightly: "Really? But I didn't come up with this 'semi-empire and semi-colonial'. It was proposed by Comrade Mao Zedong. He said that China is now a semi-colony of the British and American powers and an empire." If it continues to develop like this, it may become the vanguard of international capitalism invading the Soviet Union, and will be defeated by the Soviet Union in the end. Fuwen, do you think China will go to war with the Soviet Union?"

Luo Yaoguo smacked Erguotou: "Xiaoying, what do you think?"

Qu Ying shook her head lightly, and sighed: "The Soviet Union is actually very domineering! Very selfish! They don't consider other countries' feelings or interests at all. Socialism wins first in them It's really..."

Luo Yaoguo was startled when he heard the words, and frowned slightly, looking at the little girl opposite.

Qu Ying lowered her head and didn't look at Luo Yaoguo, she just talked to herself: "The Middle East Road War, the Mongolia Incident, and the betrayal of the Communist Party of Korea and the Communist Party of Japan after the Second Russo-Japanese War, these... are all chilling Alas... Now anyone with a little knowledge in our party knows that their internationalism is playing tricks and selling dog meat."

Luo Yaoguo stroked his clean-shaven chin, and thought: "From what this girl said, it seems that she has the idea of ​​'leaving the party'! Such a pretty little beauty, if she can..."

At this time, Qu Ying sighed deeply, and said again: "After the incident on the Middle East Road, many comrades in the party have left, and some of them are my friends. At present, South China's economy is developing well, and they are educated and knowledgeable. They can all find good jobs. It's just that... I'm not as lucky as them, but I spent two years in Europe, and I was young at that time, and I just cared about playing."

Luo Yaoguo stared at the little beauty carefully for a while, "Xiaoying, if you really want to leave the CCP... why don't you come to my place and be my personal assistant?"

"Really?" A trace of surprise slid across Qu Ying's pretty face, and then the little girl frowned again, and smiled bitterly: "But I don't understand anything, and I can't help you."

Luo Yaoguo stood up, moved the chair to Qu Ying's side, and sat down.Then he grabbed the beauty's waist with one hand.He said cheerfully: "Our Miss Qu is so smart, how can she not understand anything? Your foreign language is not bad! You are proficient in English, French, German, and Russian. You can be an interpreter."

Feeling a big hand wrapping around her small waist, Qu Ying struggled symbolically: "I'm not proficient at all, I just can speak a little bit. I can't speak English as well as you. French, German, and Russian are definitely not as good as Natalie in your house, right?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled lightly: "No problem, you can practice slowly if you don't speak well, and it will be fine if you talk more. This time, I will go to Europe and America soon, so you can follow along."

Chapter 0383 semi-imperial semi-colonial ([-])

"Who is your Excellency?"

After Luo Yaoguo had dinner at Qu Ying's, he just returned to the mansion in Dongtangzi Hutong when he found several Japanese people sitting in the living room!Ye Yiyao was accompanying them, chatting without saying a word.The leader was a middle-aged Japanese man in a Japanese dress and round glasses, with a smile on his face, but he still gave off an eerie feeling.

Since the second Russo-Japanese War, Japan seems to have temporarily given up its ambitions for China.During this period of time, it was also very quiet, and it was only recently that he hooked up with Wang Jingwei again and started a new trick.It seems that they also want to learn from the United States and dress themselves up as investors instead of robbers.But now they should know about Sun Yat-sen's decision, isn't it too late to come to Luo Yaoguo now?

"This is General Nagata Tieshan, the section chief of the Mobilization Section of the Ministry of Military Maintenance of Japan." Hearing her husband's question, Ye Yiyao hurriedly answered.

"My humble servant is Yongtian Tieshan. Your Excellency must be Marshal Luo Fuwen, right?" Yongtian Tieshan also stood up and bent slightly towards Luo Yaoguo.However, the pair of gloomy and sharp eyes behind the glasses never left Luo Yaoguo's face, and Luo Yaoguo got goosebumps all over his body.

"Yongtian Tieshan, oh..." Luo Yaoguo responded, but his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.He had heard of this name in his previous life, not only had he heard of it, but it was like thunder!This Nagata is the leader of the so-called "control faction" in the Japanese army, and Hideki Tojo is still his younger brother!In this life, more than half of the general warfare system and mobilization of the national spirit promoted by Luo Yaoguo imitated what Nagata did in Japan, which is why they were criticized by the leftists and the CCP as militarism.

Nagata Tieshan let out a cheer, and said in fluent English: "Marshal, my Chinese is not good, so please use English to talk to your Excellency."
