Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"The rise and fall of the empire, this is the battle," Tanaka shouted hoarsely at the final mobilization meeting of the Ministry of War. . .

Chapter 440 War Comes ([-])

No matter how good the wishes of human beings are, the wheel of history is always far from good.As a time traveler, Wang Zhenyu has now fully integrated into this era. In his eyes, there is no peace anymore. What he wants is unity and strength.

In Xuzhou, at the General Staff Headquarters of the Northern Expedition, Bai Chongxi leaned back against his desk according to his habit, staring at the military map on the backboard with his eyes motionless.He naturally turned a blind eye to the busy staff officers who came in and out behind him.

Combat preparations in the Shandong area have already begun, and the Armament Department forcibly cut off the north-south traffic to take over multiple sections of railway, and sent all kinds of combat resources to Xuzhou at all costs.In Xuzhou, all levels of the Northern Expeditionary Army were working overtime overnight to distribute these combat materials to various combat units and transport them to designated storage locations.And Xuzhou's airport has also entered an unprecedentedly busy state. A large number of planes that have secretly transferred here have flown here. The Air Force's first flight division has all arrived at Xuzhou's large military airport. All the planes are undergoing final testing and belong to the Air Force. The meteorological forces of the country also began to secretly sneak into possible combat areas to make various predictions and analyzes of weather changes. . .All the work is going on in an orderly manner, but it has nothing to do with Bai Chongxi. These things are currently in charge of Jiang Fangzhen, the deputy chief of staff.Although Bai Chongxi was only the chief of staff of the Northern Expedition Army, his actual power was equivalent to the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, because the current commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army was concurrently held by Wang Zhenyu, chairman of the Military Commission. This was also a new system of the Military Commission. The supreme commander of the front army with more than one division is concurrently held by the chairman of the military committee.However, the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army is still expanding. The plan to use five divisions to win the battle in Shandong has been vetoed by Wang Zhenyu.Wang Zhenyu's idea was to win a decisive victory in Shandong, which required sufficient troops. Therefore, the size of the Northern Expedition finally reached an astonishing 22 divisions, of which ten divisions and one armored division were deployed on the front line of Xuzhou. A pilot division has a total of twelve divisions, with a total strength of 30, 720 heavy artillery pieces of various types, 180 auxiliary artillery pieces, 200 combat aircraft of various types, and more than [-] tanks and armored vehicles.It can be said that such a huge battle scale is the first time since the establishment of the youth army, and it is also the first time for Bai Chongxi personally, so he can't care about his head that is getting more and more hair loss. Thinking about the overall situation, for him, this battle must be won, and he must win a big victory.

As usual, this time the Northern Expeditionary Army also set up the Eastern Front and Western Front Commands. Li Liejun was in charge of the Eastern Front Command. His success won Wang Zhenyu's trust, and this time he served as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition Army, which can be regarded as the celebrity in front of Wang Zhenyu.And Cheng Qian is in charge of the Western Front Command. This general, who is also not from a direct descendant, relies on his excellent work ability and ability to form cliques to make himself more and more important in front of Wang Zhenyu. The candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Route Army cannot escape.

But Bai Chongxi didn't care who was the commander-in-chief, because most of the time, he would directly send orders down to the division level, and at this time the commander-in-chief was just a display. . .

When Jiang Fangzhen came in after signing several important documents, he looked at Bai Chongxi who was still in deep thought and asked in amazement: "Brother Jiansheng, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, what are you still thinking about? Are you still afraid that we will fail?"

Bai Chongxi has an aloof character, he usually treats his subordinates with little respect at all, he either ignores them, or scolds them at every turn, in short, he seldom has a good face.But Jiang Fangzhen was treated with courtesy, and the reason was very simple. Jiang Fangzhen's strategic vision had always been something that Bai Chongxi admired.According to high-level rumors in the military, the Shandong combat plan approved by the No. [-] chief of the Military Commission (referring to Wang Zhenyu) this time was written by the former Baoding principal Jiang Fangzhen.

"Brother Baili, I'm not worried at all that our army won't win. Among other things, the current Eastern Route Army is much better in terms of personnel and equipment than when we were in the European Expeditionary Army. In such a difficult situation at that time We can easily defeat the Germans. Now I really don’t care about Zhang Zongchang or even the Japanese. But this battle is related to the unification of the motherland and the grand plan of the commander. If you want to say that I don’t think so I’m afraid I don’t even believe it myself.”

Jiang Fangzhen, who has studied in Japan and can be regarded as a member of the saber group, doesn't seem to be worried about Japan at all.In fact, after returning from studying in Japan, Jiang Fangzhen has been advocating that there are two things in Japan that are not worth learning from China in terms of the construction of the Chinese army. One is Bushido and the other is the army.It is a pity that the high-level Chinese military leaders at that time developed an almost superstitious admiration for the Japanese Army after the Russo-Japanese War, and continued to send military personnel to Japan for training, and also entrusted officers who returned from studying in Japan with important responsibilities.As a result, the War of Resistance Against Japan became, to a certain extent, teachers beating students. It seems that even those who learn from the strong should learn from their strengths rather than their weaknesses.

Seeing Bai Chongxi's worry, Jiang Fangzhen smiled very relaxedly and said, "It just so happens that I will be free, so let me listen to you and see what you are worried about?"

Bai Chongxi smiled, and then remembered that he hadn't had a sip of water all morning, so he took a sip of water and said, "Actually, Zhang Zongchang is not qualified to worry us. What we really need to worry about is the Japanese. The strength of the Japanese army Very strong, but I am personally confident that they will be overthrown this time. After all, it has been fourteen years since the Russo-Japanese War, and the way the war is played has undergone tremendous changes. But one thing has not changed. , That is sea control, the Japanese combined fleet is there, and our coastline is also long enough. Once we start fighting with others in Shandong, from Shandong to Guangdong are all targets that the combined fleet can attack at will, and the Japanese army can be among them Landing in any province. And at this time our main force is all on the front line, and at that time we will really be beyond our reach..."

Jiang Fangzhen listened very seriously, and then looked up to the sky and sighed: "The commander really has a clever plan. He knew that Brother Jiansheng would have this worry. Before I came from Wuhan, he talked to me specifically, and now he has used it."

Bai Chongxi was shocked when he heard the words: "What did the commander-in-chief say? I hope Brother Baili will come quickly!"

Seeing this, Jiang Fangzhen didn't give a shit anymore: "The commander-in-chief's thinking is far clearer than ours. He really knows himself and the enemy. Brother Jiansheng, take a look at the map and the deployment of our army. According to the information we obtained from secret channels, the Japanese plan in Shandong The troops invested are only more than 8 people in three divisions. In addition, there are two divisions with more than 5 people left in Kyushu as a reserve force. You know this, and our hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf divisions It has always been a taboo for military strategists to send out inferior troops in a fight. But do you know why the Japanese would do such a stupid thing? The commander knows it. The Japanese Army has only 370 standing divisions, except for the Guards division. Except for the vase display, nine of the remaining sixteen divisions have been dispatched because of the Siberia dispatch. That is to say, even if the guard divisions are also sent to Shandong, the Japanese army can be equal in strength to our army, and it is still based on the On the basis that our army does not send additional reinforcements. At this time, it would be good if they can start the Shandong war. It is impossible to send troops to our coast to play beach landing. What's more, our commander-in-chief has long been prepared for this. The four provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu all have two divisions stationed there. With these eight divisions, the Japanese army has too many landing forces and they will not have them. Without them, they will die. What we really need to worry about about the combined fleet is theirs Breaking into the Yangtze River to bombard the cities along the river, but the navy has long built solid fortresses in Wusong, Chongming, Jiangyin, Zhenjiang and other places, relying on [-]mm heavy artillery to guard the forts to block the Yangtze River. Shanghai, but I don’t know if Britain and France agree or not. Moreover, the commander has already planned to organize a high-speed fleet to carry out the task of breaking diplomatic relations. It is estimated that the Japanese combined fleet will be so busy that there will be no time to bombard Shanghai. What we really need to worry about How to severely injure the Japanese army in the decisive battle in the Shandong area, this must be done. At the same time, it is to drag the Feng army in with the Shanxi area as the core point, so that we can wholeheartedly fight the Japanese in Shandong. And Zhang Zongchang, don’t be underestimated Look, what the commander-in-chief means, if necessary, take advantage of Zhang Zongchang's opportunity to feign an attack and turn the small fight into a big fight, killing Zhang Zongchang's vitality and vigor, and at the same time let the Japanese think that we are at the end of our battle The judgment laid the foundation for us to choose a favorable situation for a decisive battle..."

When Bai Chongxi heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened: "The commander is indeed a commander, and he can see the whole situation clearly. It's wonderful, it's wonderful! Brother Baili, I think our battle plan can be revised again. , become more ruthless. How do you think we put the decisive battle in Jinan? You can see that from Jinan to the north, there is a flat river, which is suitable for the execution of armored assault tactics. And there is Mount Tai as a cover. Once we launch a counterattack, we will conduct a strategic detour It's also much easier. More importantly, once we set the battlefield in Jinan, the Japanese army's entire supply line for the war will have to be lengthened. At this time, our opportunity will come out..."

Jiang Fangzhen nodded and said: "I think it will work, but I think there is one more thing to add. After we enter Jinan, we must build a military airport in Jinan as soon as possible. If we can't build a large one, we will use small ones to make up for it. I watched the training of the first flight division. , I have a premonition that there are still great variables in this combat mode, so Jinan is the battlefield, and the air force's investment must also be guaranteed..."

Chapter 441 War Comes ([-])

In Yan Xishan's Jin army, there is such a group of people.They were originally graduates of the Taiyuan Lecture Hall, and they have won the trust and trust of Yan Xishan since the beginning of graduation, and they have always been the main body of middle-level officers in the Jin army.In Zhiwan in the sixth year of the Republic of China, after the end of the Zhifeng War, Shang Zhen, Xu Yongchang and other senior officials of the Jin army who once went to the front to watch and study were deeply shocked by the new way of warfare, and urged Yan Xishan to reform the Jin army.And Yan Xishan's method of reforming the Jin army also had his own style. At that time, the representative of the Nationalist government proposed the method of sending freshly graduated military academies to serve in the Jin army.His method was to send a group of officers between the ages of 25 and 32 in the Jin army, represented by Fu Zuoyi, to study in Wuhan for two years.In his opinion, these people will at least not betray him, but he has overlooked a basic fact, that is, the prosperous south may not have a huge impact on the mature thoughts of these young military officers living in Shanxi, but it can have a continuous impact. subtle influence.

Jin army battalion commander Chu Xiongfei is one of the representatives. Chu Xiongfei, 28 years old, is from Wutai, Shanxi Province, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a strong physique.He graduated from the Taiyuan Lecture Hall in the second year of the Republic of China, and then submitted to Baoding for the third period of study. He is bold, decisive, and modest. In addition, his own military quality is very outstanding, and he is also a well-known generation in the Jin army.Among the newly born young and strong faction, under Fu Zuoyi, this man is the most powerful.In the six years of the Republic of China, this man was indispensable for studying at Wuhan Army University, and compared to Fu Zuoyi, this man went further in thought, and he even secretly joined the organization of the Young Officers Union.And after returning to Shanxi, he trumpeted the achievements of the national revolution, boasting that Wuhan and Nanjing are like heaven, and the combat effectiveness of the youth army. A junction point between Shanxi and Zhili, where Shanxi is safe, is Jingxing.

This is the front line where the Jin and Feng armies are confronting each other. The eight divisions under Sun Liechen's command are here. It is not known whether they can break through the thousand-year-old natural danger of Jingxing, but the deterrent effect cannot be ignored.

Swaggering in front of the Jin army to provoke is the daily work of the bandit soldiers of the Feng army. Even after the reinforcements from the Jin army arrived, Sun Liechen's troops did not restrain themselves, and they still ran wildly across the Jin army's position. It's swearing and pissing.However, these Northeast people are very swearing, and they say it smoothly and smoothly, and they start with whether Shanxi people are considered men.

What kind of chief will naturally bring out what kind of troops, Chu Xiongfei, a master who can't rub the slightest bit of sand in his eyes, can imagine the temper of his troops.The most taboo thing for men is to be looked down upon by others, and Feng Jun obviously took this to the limit of human beings.Most of the officers and soldiers of the Jin Army under Chu Xiongfei's command gritted their teeth and loaded their bullets. If Chu Xiongfei hadn't been for the strict discipline of the Japanese army, they would have shot and killed these Fengjun who caused trouble.

But when things got here, the most wry scene happened. Feng Jun, the company in charge of the trouble, unceremoniously shot at the Jin army's position.This was originally a drama that the Feng army must perform every day. The intention was to create a little tense atmosphere, and the Jin army, which was originally in charge of this line of defense, naturally did not dare to fight back due to its lack of confidence.And when they hurriedly withdrew, they didn't explain it to Chu Xiongfei's people. As you can imagine, Chu Xiongfei heard the gunshots and heard the sound of heaven. This was a signal of Fengjun's attack and a large-scale attack. . . .

With a full company of Fengjun and more than 150 people with guns, Chu Xiongfei wiped out half of the battalion's strength and captured half of it.Before Chu Xiongfei could figure out how to report to his superiors, Feng Jun's counterattack came unexpectedly.

In fact, there is no way to do it. For any regiment-level officer, if his troops lose more than a hundred people and he remains indifferent, then his regiment-level officer will do his best.Feng Jun's head didn't have to bother to ask for instructions, and directly mobilized the troops to launch an attack, which was considered to have recovered the situation. It is estimated that the head of the group used to be the master of the underworld.

When the soldiers came to block the water and soil, Chu Xiongfei naturally couldn't be polite, and ordered the officers and soldiers of the battalion to beat him hard.The battle lasted only 10 minutes, which may be the first time for both sides in the battle, and all foreseeable and unforeseen situations have appeared.With no war experience, no deep hatred, and no political beliefs, the results of the 20-plus minutes of fighting resulted in little casualties to each other.Chu Xiongfei's Jin army battalion was indeed elite and fought fiercely, but the results of the battle were really not enough.There's no way, Feng Jun's fighting is really too rough, and I don't know where they got the soldiers. Before they got into the range, they were all fierce and fierce. Once they got into the effective range, they all crawled on the ground and refused to get up. There was no urging by the officer.In the end, after the officers who urged the Jin army were beaten to death, these officers and soldiers of the Feng army were happy to be at ease.

This small-scale battle in the Jingxing area was completely an accident, and it was precisely this accident that started the gunfire for the complete rise of the Chinese nation. History will always remember this moment, October [-], eight years of the Republic of China . . .

Nanjing, formerly Jiangsu Weaving Mansion, is now the Nanjing Office of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.According to Wang Zhenyu's request, this place has been renamed Grand View Garden, and a large-scale reconstruction has been carried out on this place according to the records in Dream of Red Mansions, which is almost completely consistent with the records in the book. For this reason, Wang Zhenyu also received a special invitation from the Shanghai Red Society. letter of thanks.Regarding this, Wang Zhenyu smiled at Zhao Yuting who sent the letter to him: "I think that Cao Xueqin was impoverished before his death, but he supported such a large group of people after his death. It's amazing!"

Wang Zhenyu and his second wife, Zhao Yuting, arrived in Nanjing on the morning of the [-]th, because the next day, October [-]th, the Nanjing National Congress had a vote of no-confidence against the Military Commission to be voted on.As the head of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and the founder and leader of the Youth Army, Wang Zhenyu naturally had to attend this meeting, and even made an impromptu speech at the meeting.Counting the number of times Wang Zhenyu has come to Nanjing since the establishment of the Nationalist Government, it can be said that there are only a handful of times. This time he came to Nanjing for the eighth time.Therefore, the garrison, military police, and security forces in Nanjing attach great importance to Wang Zhenyu's security work. The perimeter of the Grand View Garden has long been covered with military police, and together with the guards of Wang Zhenyu's accompanying attendants, the entire security work is impeccable. . .

On the night of October [-]th, the Japanese Minister to China Yukichi Kohata delivered the Imperial Japanese Government’s notice to China to the President of the Republic of China Xu Shichang: “In view of the outbreak of the civil war in China and the serious instability of the situation, in order to protect the interests of the imperial nationals in China, we will start immediately , The Empire of Japan will dispatch three divisions of troops to the Shandong area to safeguard the interests of the Chinese nationals in China and promote the reconciliation of all parties involved in the civil war..."

The moment Xu Shichang saw the announcement, his head was buzzing. He felt that he was the president who had come to an end. Facing the arrogant Japanese minister, Xu Shichang was so excited that he couldn't even say a word.

After a long time, the Beiyang veteran Xu Shichang, who had experienced many humiliating scenes in the late Qing Dynasty, said in a low voice: "Mr. Minister, China and Japan are friendly neighbors separated by a narrow strip of water. We are facing the oppression of Western colonists. This, this, we are not It should be good-neighborly and friendly, win-win cooperation! But what is the situation when you send troops to Shandong now? In May of this year, because of the Shandong issue, our central government was quite passive. Mr. Minister also saw the appearance of the ** meeting, so Can you urge your government to put peaceful coexistence first in everything and not to engage in war lightly. As for the issue of your country's nationals, I will personally mediate...Mr. Minister, let's not let this misunderstanding continue to deepen!"

Kohata Yoshikichi faced tremendous political pressure due to the huge changes in the situation in China in the past two years, so from his heart, he also believed that following the example of the Sino-Japanese War, it was the right thing for Japan to send troops to interrupt the process of China's re-emergence.So he said coldly to the gray-haired Wenzhi president: "President Xu, the interests of the empire are above all else, although I have always admired you, a Wenzhi president who respects Confucius and Mencius, But I have to tell you with regret that the empire has no choice but to send troops to protect overseas Chinese. Please understand. As for the possible misunderstandings, I can only express my deep regret..."

After talking about Xiao Banyouji, he left the dumbfounded President Xu Shichang and walked away. Xu Shichang was so angry that he could only shed tears.

The next day, Xu Shichang, who was full of tears, died of illness in his dream. This time he didn't even have to resign. . .

In the southern provinces, the president of the Republic of China became an empty name after Li Yuanhong was expelled by force by Duan Qirui, so it is not customary for everyone to stop working for a day to attend the funeral of the head of state.At any rate, Beijing even pretended to order Bai Su, the whole city, to mourn for President Xu Shichang.In Nanking, however, it was business as usual, and even at the National Assembly, October [-] became even more lively. . .

Unknowingly, the National Assembly, a legislature originally intended to coordinate the interests of various factions, has gradually become the seat of power in Nanjing. All policy decisions involving politics and economics need to be deliberated and passed by the two chambers of the National Assembly.Over time, the seats in the National Assembly have also become popular, and the competition has become increasingly fierce.The seat of the National Assembly, the organ of power, was also moved from the auditorium where the National Government was located to the Nanjing Municipal Government, which took three years to build. Daxing Palace, and the National Hotel on the back) National Square (now Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum).The entire square is composed of a 3000-square-meter marble square and a six-storey office building with twin towers covering an area of ​​[-] square meters. There are statues of heroes of the past (including Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Yuan Chonghuan, Lin Zexu, etc.) *The symbolic sculpture of the scepter and the fountain, while the office buildings are concentrated in the twin towers, also known as the East and West Buildings. The East Building is the office area of ​​the Senate, and the West Building is the office area of ​​the Legislative Yuan. [-]-seat auditorium.The entire auditorium consists of a main hall and fifty auxiliary halls.In short, the institution of the National Assembly has become more and more majestic and more solemn because of this. . .

Chapter 442 War Comes (V)

In the eighth year of the Republic of China, on October 1919, 10, Wang Zhenyu, accompanied by Wang Longzhong, the vice chairman of the national government, drove to China Square, and then walked into the seat of the National Congress, the National Square, under layers of protection.

Next, he will deliver a speech to 378 members of the Senate and 215 members of the Legislative Yuan at the National Square. This speech will also be the first time that the China Radio Station, which has just been established for half a year, will broadcast to the whole country.China Radio Station is one of Wang Chunhua's achievements. She herself serves as the director of the station, and sub-stations have been set up at the county level in the area under the jurisdiction of the Nationalist Government to spread the signal.In this technology, due to the attention and investment of the National Socialist Party, the Chinese lead the world.In the original time and space, the first broadcast in human history was on November 1920, 11. . .

In addition to the members of the Political and Legislative Chambers, Nanjing's political leaders, economic tycoons, and even celebrities from Shanghai, as well as traditional media, representatives of intellectuals, student representatives, and generals of the army attended the meeting. The 3000-person main hall was packed to the brim.This made Sun Wen, the chairman of the National Government who has given speeches here many times, very jealous. You must know that every time he gave a speech, let alone an observer, even the members of the parliament were often absent, and he did not let himself, the chairman of the National Government, go. in the eyes. . .

Wang Zhenyu came in wearing a handsome white military uniform of the army, navy and air force. What he wore was not a military rank, but the unique golden plum flower epaulettes of the chairman of the military committee.Such a handsome military uniform coupled with Wang Zhenyu's enviable youth and calm demeanor in his late thirties, no matter how you look at it, it is pleasing to the eye.

Out of respect for the creator of the entire national government system, the [-] participants spontaneously rose to welcome Wang Zhenyu's entry.

Wang Zhenyu's pace was very steady, unlike the usual habit of nodding and greeting acquaintances, this time Wang Zhenyu didn't look at anyone, and walked directly to the speaking platform in the middle of the aisle of the English-style venue with a solemn face.Surprisingly, he didn't take any speech papers. He just glanced at the congressmen on both sides and started his speech:

"Dear all citizens, members of parliament, and friends from all walks of life who care about our youth army: Hello! It is a great honor to stand on the podium of the National Assembly to communicate and communicate with you. Today is October 300, a glorious and A sacred day. Eight years ago today, many people with lofty ideals of the Chinese nation took the risk of killing their families and fired the first shot to overthrow the Manchu Qing rule in Wuhan. A barbaric, backward, greedy and selfish regime that has enslaved China for nearly [-] years finally It was successfully overthrown, and our nation is on the right track again. Looking back at the great Revolution of [-], some of the participants of the year have turned into a cup of loess, and some have betrayed the revolution and stood on the side that endangers the interests of the nation. More are still fighting hard for the unity and strength of the motherland just like the people present here."

Pause, applause. . .

"Now let's go back to the topic of this meeting and talk about what kind of army our youth army is. During the Revolution of 11, I was still following my uncle, who is now the vice chairman of the National Government. Mr. Wang Longzhong, Commander-in-Chief of the Aid to Hubei and Hunan Army, served as a small supervisor, or a battalion officer. We were incorporated under the command of Governor Li Yuanhong and Commander-in-Chief Huang Xing to participate in the counterattack against Hankou. Strong, our battle failed. In order to cover the transfer of other brothers, the officers and soldiers of our commander took up the blocking task, so we were unable to return to Hanyang. But on that night, relying on our second battalion and the Hubei student team With courage, we successfully raided the Yudaimen Station and destroyed the Qing army’s logistics supplies. On that day, our tiger banner was unleashed. Afterwards, we were reorganized into the Ninth Brigade and ordered to be transferred to Nanjing to participate in the Northern Expedition , and then we went back to Hunan with a brigade of soldiers to avenge the revolutionary martyrs Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin who were killed by Mei Xin, and wiped out the Fifth Division of the Hunan Army colluding with the Qing Dynasty. The next thing is that Xiangxi defeated many Warlords, bandits, and cult forces that destroy local development. We also participated in the Second Revolution, the War to Protect the Country, and gained our own reputation in war after war. In Europe, our youth army is for the benefit of the nation and the country It was a two-year arduous battle with the troops of the Allied Powers, at the cost of [-] officers and soldiers killed and [-] officers and soldiers injured. In the end, we won the victory of the First World War. Dear Members, myself There is only one purpose for telling so many past events here, that is, from the beginning to the end, the youth army is a righteous army with a sense of justice. Division, a division of benevolence and righteousness, a division of might. This glorious, great and invincible army is by no means what some people with ulterior motives say. They are my personal soldiers and warlord troops. They are the troops of the Chinese nation. They are the army of the country, the army of the nation, and the soldiers of the whole nation."

Speaking of this, the audience burst into warm applause. Members who have been worried about the political turmoil caused by the impeachment case can be relieved. Wang Zhenyu's attitude undoubtedly shows that at least this time the army will not use force to resolve internal conflicts.

"Now I want to tell the respected members of parliament a few news that were sent late last night, because I think these few news are related to today's vote. The first news, just yesterday, in Shanxi, was sent The central government in Beijing, run by the warlord leader Zhang Zuolin, launched an attack on the Shanxi governor Yan Xishan’s army under the banner of unifying the country by force. It can be said that a civil war has broken out. The civil war was provoked by someone else, who kept saying that we want peace and not war. The warlord Zhang Zuolin and his puppet central government. It can be said that having hope for peace in such a central government is different from seeking skins from tigers. What we can do to deal with such shameless enemies is to hold the steel guns in our hands tightly and discover If he wants to make trouble, he will punish them severely and let them know how to be a good boy, everyone agrees, right?"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, no one thought that Wang Zhenyu would make a joke on such a serious occasion.

"The second news is about Japan, a friendly neighbor with a narrow strip of water. It was also yesterday that the Japanese Minister to China Yukichi Kobata formally delivered a notice to the President of the Republic of China, Mr. Xu Shichang. Under the pretext of protecting Japanese nationals, three The Japanese army of the division entered Shandong, and at the same time announced that any squadron entering the Shandong area would be regarded as in a state of war with Japan. What kind of behavior is this? I can tell you clearly that this is aggression. It is difficult for me to understand that there will be People with normal intelligence choose to treat the aggressor as a friend, and I can't understand why the proposal to weaken our national defense force in order to avoid angering the aggressor can appear in our National Congress openly."

Wang Zhenyu supported the microphone and shouted very excitedly: "China and Japan are indeed separated by a narrow strip of water, but they are by no means friendly neighbors. Will such a country, which faces the threat of volcanoes and earthquakes every day and has serious shortages of various resources, be friendly with you, China?" A China that has not even been able to achieve reunification, lacks inclusiveness in politics, and is full of internal strife, but is extremely rich in land and resources. If you don’t let the Japanese bite you, who do you let him bite? 24 years ago, the Japanese passed The Sino-Japanese War of 19-[-] dragged the whole of China into the bottomless abyss of semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and made competent officials like Li Hongzhang reduced to paper-stickers and scapegoats. We paid a full [-] million taels of silver, and this money became Japan is moving towards a powerful primitive accumulation. [-] years ago, it was Japan again, acting as the vanguard of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the first to invade Beijing, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes. Finally, it tossed out the "Boxer Treaty" that restricted the development of our country. It is true that the Qing Dynasty is the enemy of national progress, but Japan is by no means a friend of China’s progress. As long as we Chinese are still there, as long as our Chinese nation does not perish, we don’t need them to inherit our Chinese civilization. After Yashan, China is still there After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, China still survived. As for Japan, this is a vicious wolf. If we don’t deal with him, but treat him as a father and a friend as a thief, how stupid is that? I don’t object to learning from Japan. It is inevitable, but it is our duty to defeat Japan and our youth army. So here I am sending two proposals to determine the future situation of China to all distinguished congressmen. Please consider them immediately. The first proposal, given that the Central Government of the Republic of China in Beijing has already It has been reduced to a tool of warlords’ dictatorial rule and the vanguard of Japan’s invasion of China. From now on, we no longer recognize its legitimacy as the central government. I propose that the National Government formally assume the functions of the central government and lead all citizens to defeat all foreign invaders And the internal thieves, to win the independence and freedom of the Communist Party. The second proposal, since the national government assumed the functions of the central government, authorize the youth army to conduct self-defense operations against the invading forces outside the Chinese territory, expel them, and annihilate them. For those who have invaded Japan in Shandong has entered a state of war from this moment on. For all those who oppose or even cooperate with the Japanese invaders, they will be punished by the strict "Regulations on Punishment of Traitors and Traitors". Those who refuse to surrender will be wiped out and will never be forgiven...I hereby declare officially that as long as the youth army survives, we will never allow the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society to continue to exist. Soldiers of the youth army, navy, and air force listen Order, the survival of the nation is in this battle, kill all the Japanese invaders, and serve the country. Long live the great Chinese nation, long live the invincible youth army!"

Chapter 443 Tempest

According to the relevant regulations of the National Assembly, the Senate and the Legislative Yuan successively voted on three proposals. The voting result for the "Case of No Confidence in the Military Commission of the National Government" jointly proposed by Sun Wen, Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei and others of the Kuomintang was: 35 votes In favour, with 140 abstentions and 418 against.The trust vote failed and ended in a fiasco.

As for Wang Zhenyu's "Proposal of the National Government Acting as the Central Government", the result of the vote was 510 votes in favor, 41 abstentions, and 42 votes against.From now on, the legal capacity of the central government in Beijing will not be recognized in the area under the jurisdiction of the national government. The national government will be the new central government. In all announcements, the pseudo-government will be used to refer to the Beijing government.

Finally, Wang Zhenyu proposed the "Declaration of War Against Japan". Because the hat of national righteousness was too big, this proposal full of nationalism was finally passed unanimously. From this moment on, the pattern of world history has undergone major changes. At least 20 years earlier, Sino-Japanese relations have entered a state of war.
