Republic of China game

However, many people in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference don't understand this truth. They only know that they participate in and discuss state affairs in a small circle in Beijing, and they don't go to the countryside or factories at all. How much do you support the Three People's Principles of the Kuomintang?

So when Deng Yanda explained the demands of the CCP, Li Jishen didn't say a word, his face turned ashen, as if he was protesting the progress of the wheel of history with silence.

There was a dead silence in the room, only the heavy breathing of the two could be heard.

At the end, Li Jishen sighed deeply, and sighed deeply: "Zhosheng, why is this? Our Republic of China was established after more than ten years of struggle by the former Prime Minister and countless martyrs... Now it is finally revived How can we ask us to abolish a resolution? If the first prime minister had a spirit in heaven, would he agree to it?"

Hearing Li Jishen's questioning tone.Deng Yanda felt sour, and almost burst into tears: "Mr. Ren, the establishment of a Soviet state is not only the request of the CCP, but also represents the unanimous request of the Chinese people. We CPPCC members represent the people to participate in and discuss state affairs. We have no right to If the former Prime Minister saw the current situation, he would definitely support the Communist Party and the Soviet from the bottom of his heart.”

Li Ji shook his head and looked at Deng Yanda with doubts in his eyes: "Zhesheng, do you think we are all deaf and blind? Don't we know anything about the demands and ideas of the people? Apart from those areas under the jurisdiction of the CCP, in the southern provinces How many people have a good impression of the Soviet Union? This name sounds like something from the Soviet Union! The Soviet Union has long been notorious in the south because of the war in the Middle East and the fact that it colluded with Japan to sign the "Non-Aggression Pact" this time! If a newspaper says good things about the Soviet Union, it will never be sold. The opinion polls organized by several universities and newspapers in the south also show that the support rate of the Kuomintang has remained above [-]%. It has soared to [-]%! This is not organized by the Kuomintang itself. If a nationwide general election is held now..."

"Ren Gong, these public opinion surveys don't reveal anything." Deng Yanda replied calmly: "It has nothing to do with the demands of the Chinese people. It just represents some people who don't know the truth. Already!"

"This can't be deception." Li Jishen shook his head and said, "Not to mention the ordinary people in the south, even our right-wing opponents of the Kuomintang have changed their views on them. Zhesheng, I'm afraid we won't be able to support the CCP this time! "

"Ren Gong! We must support the Communist Party, or we will be eliminated by history! Without the support and help of the Communist Party, the ideals of the leftists of the Kuomintang cannot be realized!" Moved, Deng Yanda's emotions also became agitated, with obvious anxiety and disappointment in the agitation.

"Zhosheng, what is our ideal? It is to unite with Russia and the Communist Party, not to accept the leadership of Russia and the Communist Party! It is to establish a democratic constitutional government in China, not a dictatorship of the proletariat! It is to revive and strengthen China, not to repeatedly provoke civil wars!" Li Ji sighed deeply. Tone:

"Zhesheng, you haven't seen the marching lineup of the First Division of the National Revolutionary Army, tanks, heavy artillery, trucks, and a long line of more than ten kilometers! Compared with the 17th year of the Battle of Shandong in the Republic of China, I don't know how much stronger it is. .And did you know that those tanks are bigger and more advanced than the French Renault! And all of them are domestically produced. There are now a total of five factories that can produce tanks, with a monthly output of [-] to [-] vehicles... That’s [-] vehicles a year! Now, as long as the two sides in the South unite to achieve peaceful reunification, there’s no problem in recovering the Northeast. But if there’s a civil war...does the CCP have weapons to fight tanks and planes?”

"But if we don't support it, the CCP will also establish a Soviet regime! At that time, the Soviet regime will be ruled by the CCP alone. Where should we democratic parties go? Return to the South? Can we still go back? Deng Yanda took a deep breath:

"Only if we support this new regime, can we stay in this new regime, exert our influence, promote the reconciliation between the CCP and the right wing of the Kuomintang, avoid civil war, and promote the realization of a democratic system. I think this can be used as a condition for us to support the Soviet regime."

Li Jishen sighed silently in his heart, Deng Yanda didn't know that Yang Yongtai had also arrived in Beijing during this time, and lived in Zhang Xueliang's Shuncheng Prince's Mansion.On the one hand, he secretly negotiated with Gu Shunzhang of the CCP, and on the other hand, he frequently contacted democrats to try to get them to promote the presidential election.Li Jishen himself had already met with Yang Yongtai, and the other party's representative, Chiang Kai-shek, promised to nominate him as a member of the Legislative Council, and he could also hand over the legislative constituencies of the eight counties in southern Guangdong to him.In addition, Yang Yongtai also revealed that the KMT presidium is now preparing for the election of Guangdong Provincial Legislative Members, Supervisory Committee Members, local county mayors, and Guangdong Provincial Chairman in the 28th year of the Republic of China. Sun Ke is likely to represent the KMT in the election of Guangdong Province Chairman... It seems that the right wing of the Kuomintang does not dare to violate Sun Yat-sen's promise of the deadline for political training.

"Zhesheng, I see if this is the case. You and Zhenru will continue to stay in Beijing to participate in and discuss state affairs, and I will go back to the south to promote the democratic process of the Kuomintang. Let us work together to promote democratic constitutionalism in China."

It was extremely difficult for Li Jishen to say this passage. He knew that this move would completely split the already relatively loose left wing of the Kuomintang.Sure enough, Deng Yanda stood up abruptly and looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of doubts.

"Ren Gong, what are you talking about? Did the reactionaries in Wuhan give you some promise?" Deng Yanda was really anxious. At this critical moment, if a heavyweight like Li Jishen returned to the right camp of the Kuomintang, the impact would be huge. It is extremely bad!Moreover, the Ministry of Social Affairs of the CCP will not sit idly by...the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Zhesheng, don't get excited." Li Jishen looked very calm, and he looked at Deng Yanda solemnly: "Now China's biggest enemy is Japan, and the biggest danger is civil war. To prevent civil war, we must work together from two aspects Right now in the Political Consultative Conference in Beijing, there are you who can dissuade the CCP, but in the south there is no such force to maintain peace and oppose civil war, so I will build such a force.”

Deng Yanda still couldn't accept it, and didn't understand it: "Ren Gong, there will be no democracy in the south, and the road map of political training and constitutional government by the father of the founding father and the prime minister will not bring real democracy to China! It is nothing more than a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. If the Prime Minister is still alive, he will definitely change his views and oppose this bourgeois hypocrisy of democracy.”

Before Li Jishen could react from his astonishment, Deng Yanda went on to say: "Ren Gong, I also believe that the Kuomintang rightists will not violate the promise of the 16-year political training period. Power elections. But this is not democracy, but a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, a dictatorship of a few people! Even if the rightists of the Kuomintang support you to run for election, after you are elected as a member of the Legislative Council, will you be able to truly realize your ideals? Those who pay to support Don’t the capitalists you run for election need to pay back? Don’t those people who voted for you, who are blinded by the right wing of the Kuomintang, don’t need you to speak for them? If the time comes, both capitalists and people who don’t know the truth will demand unification by force The north, what do you do? After unifying the north, they will be like the voters and capitalists in those imperialist countries, wanting to invade, expand and seize colonies, so what can you do? At that time, you will be nothing but the masses who do not know the truth And a capitalist dog!"

"Zhesheng, stop talking. I have made up my mind. I will go to Tianjin in two days. From now on, we will be two camps." Li Jishen looked determined.

Deng Yanda also shook his head and sighed. The difference between the two of them is fundamental now. Deng Yanda's thinking has advanced to the level of a Communist Party member, but Li Jishen is still a democrat.He represents the interests of the Chinese bourgeoisie, not the proletariat.And although the Kuomintang in this time and space is more reactionary than in history, they have indeed protected the interests of the bourgeoisie very well and become a genuine bourgeois reactionary party!

……

Just when Deng Yanda and Li Jishen parted ways because of their different ideological realms, in Prince Gong's Mansion in the southwest corner of Shichahai, Beijing, there were two people having a happy conversation.

In the flower hall, there are several cups of fragrant tea.Mrs. Sun and Ms. Soong Ching Ling sat in the upper seat with a dignified manner.Zhou Enlai and his wife sat opposite, chatting and laughing with her.Soong Ching Ling did not know when she was a loyal believer in communism. In another time and space, even if she witnessed ten years of catastrophe, her pursuit and belief in truth did not shake. Before she passed away, she finally got her wish and became a glorious Communist. Member of the Communist Party of China!But in this time and space, her long-cherished wish to join the Communist Party of China can finally be fulfilled decades in advance!It seems that it is also Luo Yaoguo's credit.

After learning that the CCP has determined to promote the process of the Chinese revolution and establish a Soviet central government, Ms. Soong Ching Ling smiled and nodded: "Prime Minister, it is great that China can become an advanced socialist country. If Mr. Sun is still alive, he will definitely I will agree with your approach. Maybe he will become a glorious member of the Chinese Communist Party like me." She frowned and sighed softly: "It's a pity that he is no longer alive, and I can't see it." The Chinese revolution has already achieved such great achievements! It is even more unheard of that the Kuomintang reactionaries have done so many bad things under his banner."

Hearing Soong Ching Ling's words, Zhou Enlai nodded in admiration: "Mrs. Sun, now is an important turning point in the Chinese revolution. At this critical moment, the role of the Political Consultative Conference is particularly important. Our party hopes that you can unite and lead the CPPCC. The democrats and various democratic parties, together with the CPPCC members of the Communist Party, support the establishment of a Soviet state to abolish the Republic of China, and through the Soviet state constitution proposed by our party, China will truly change from a backward semi-imperial and semi-colonial country to an advanced one. socialist country."

Having said that, it is already clear that the establishment of the Soviet state this time.Only through the path of the Political Consultative Conference is the most legal and most convincing.After all, the Political Consultative Conference is the only legal highest authority in the Republic of China, and only it has the power to decide the abolition of the Republic of China and the establishment of the Chinese Soviet Republic!The Southern Nationalist Government, the Legislative Yuan, and the Supervisory Yuan are nothing more than a self-upgrading local government, which does not conform to the legal system of the Republic of China, and has not been recognized by the Chinese people and the people of the world.

However, some democrats in the Political Consultative Conference intentionally or unintentionally revealed the idea of ​​juxtaposing the two centers of the North and the South.There are also those who advocate that the Communist Party should also practice government in its jurisdiction for 16 years, and after 16 years, it will also realize democratic constitutionalism like the Kuomintang... In this way, the two central centers of the North and the South will naturally achieve peaceful reunification!

Of course, these CPPCC members are still very supportive of the Communist Party on weekdays, and they basically applaud unanimously for major and minor matters.It's just that this time the abolition of the Republic of China and the establishment of the Soviet Republic were a bit ahead of schedule. Zhou Enlai also felt uncertain about whether the democrats represented by the "bourgeoisie" would return thunderous applause.Therefore, now we can only use the great prestige of Mrs. Sun Soong Ching Ling to persuade democrats to stay consistent with the Party Central Committee at this critical moment.

Soong Ching Ling also knew the difficulty of this matter. She frowned slightly and sighed softly: "Prime Minister, I can only work hard for this matter. I cannot guarantee that the democrats in the CPPCC will follow my arrangement." She looked up at the Zhou Enlai's eyes were full of worry: "The problem now is that after the Battle of Western Liaoning, many people in the Political Consultative Conference have doubts about whether the CCP can finally defeat the Kuomintang reactionaries and win the victory of the national revolution. This time...you have lost Over 15 troops, yes?"

Zhou Enlai nodded. In front of Soong Ching Ling, who was already a comrade, he said something: "There are 3 confirmed sacrifices, and more than [-] people are seriously injured. Now there is no medical treatment. I am afraid it will be difficult to survive. In addition There are more than [-] people missing... I don't know whether they were sacrificed or captured. And the losses are all elites, especially the Fourth Route Army and the Eighth Route Army have lost their vitality, and the loss of weapons and ammunition is even more serious. But The most troublesome thing is not the loss of personnel, but that there is no way to replenish weapons and ammunition. Now the Kuomintang has planted thousands of mines at the entrance of the Bohai Bay. Except for the shallow water channel near the Shandong Peninsula, all of them have been blocked, and Soviet merchant ships cannot enter. So we don’t get the replenishment of weapons and ammunition and the raw materials needed to make weapons and ammunition.”

"Mrs. Sun, what you're talking about is military secrets, and it's the first time I've even heard of it." Deng Yingchao added with a faint smile.

Soong Ching Ling nodded: "Thank you for the trust in the organization. The problem now is that some members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference saw that we suffered too much loss in the Battle of Western Liaoning, and they have shaken their future. If they can rebuild their confidence in the victory of the revolution, set up a Soviet The proposal of the Republic will definitely win everyone's support."

Zhou Enlai smiled lightly, showing his confidence: "Mrs. Sun, tell the comrades of the CPPCC to let them rest assured! Now our party's difficulties are only temporary, and the Kuomintang's victory is nothing more than a cheap one. Use In a short time, our party will be able to break through the siege of the Kuomintang reactionaries and open up a line of communication with the Soviet Union, and then the difficulties will be over. Moreover, during this period of time, young people from all over the country are actively joining the army. Our army will be able to recover within three months at most. There are as many as before! In addition...the Kuomintang reactionaries will soon be in trouble on the Northeast battlefield because they have not won the support of the broad masses of the people. According to the information we have, the Japanese invaders will soon increase their troops to 100 It's all over."

Seeing Zhou Enzi's confident look, Soong Ching Ling nodded: "That's good. I believe that as long as everyone sees that the situation of our party is getting better and better, they will naturally stand with the party more firmly." She frowned again as she spoke. : "Prime Minister, China will be a Soviet country in the future. Will the dictatorship of the proletariat be implemented? Do you want those democrats in the CPPCC?"

Zhou Enlai was startled, glanced at Soong Ching Ling, saw her worried face, seemed to understand something immediately, and smiled generously: "Please rest assured, Mrs. Sun, democrats will always be our party's friends and the objects of our party's unity." , Let alone now, even if the national revolution is victorious in the future, political consultations and democrats will also be needed.”

Soong Ching Ling smiled slightly, with a gratified expression on her face: "If this is the case, I will be more confident in convincing those democrats."

Chapter 0550 Zhang Xueliang's choice

The news that the CCP wants to establish the Chinese Soviet Republic once again caused an uproar in the Kuomintang-controlled area.Hu Hanmin, chairman of the Nationalist Government, delivered speeches at mass rallies one after another, insisting that the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China is the only legal government representing China, and has the support of most regions and people in China, while the Beijing government is illegal and invalid!

However, Xie Chi, Zou Lu and others activated the propaganda machine controlled by the national government to attack the CCP’s decision, slandering and spreading rumors that the establishment of the Soviet government by the CCP was only the first step, and then they will merge Soviet China into the Soviet Union. Turn the Chinese people into slaves of the Soviet Union!The Youth Department of the Kuomintang and the Youth Party successively organized students to take to the streets to protest in front of the Wuhan Office of the North-South Exchange Association of the Communist Party of China. Subsequently, the wave of protests swept the entire Kuomintang-controlled area, including Xi'an and Taiyuan, which were deeply influenced by the Communist Party.

Peng Pai, chairman of the Southern Exchange Association, had no choice but to issue a statement, declaring that the Beijing government would strictly abide by the constitutional procedures, and that any major issues involving the change of the state system and the formulation or revision of the constitution would be voted on at the Political Consultative Conference, whether it would abolish the Republic of China and Establishing a Soviet state will respect the results of the Political Consultative Conference vote.At the same time, Peng Pai also appealed to people from various factions in the south to remain calm, respect the constitutional government and the political consultation system, and not fall into the trap of some bad guys with ulterior motives!

However, after these remarks were published, the wave of protests in various places intensified, and some people who did not know the truth even unfurled the slogan of the Northern Expedition and Central Plains Unification by Force in the parade!The Legislative Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan under the control of the Kuomintang simply passed a resolution authorizing the Nationalist Government to use force to maintain the state system and national unity!

However, the Kuomintang Presidium meeting rejected the proposal passed by the Legislative Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan with a vote of [-] to [-]. It is worth mentioning that both Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo voted against it at the same time!The votes for it were Luo Yiqun and Xu Chongzhi.Hu Hanmin reluctantly voted against it after listening to Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo's suggestion that the Northeast war situation was about to deteriorate and the Nationalist government was unable to fight on two fronts!A reactionary civil war was thus nipped in the bud.

However, the negotiations between the Nationalist Government and the CCP reached a stalemate. The CCP refused to allow the National Revolutionary Army to enter western Liaoning through Zhili. The equipment of five light infantry divisions was provided as "tolls", but Gu Shunzhang refused to give in. Instead, he asked the National Government to end the political training and return power to the people for democratic elections.

"Mr. Gu, now Liaoxi is in an emergency. Rescuing soldiers is like putting out fires! We have made concessions several times, and we have shown enough sincerity. We hope to get a positive response from your party, but we still haven't seen it until today." Yang Yongtai once again After proposing a new plan, Gu Shunzhang rejected it without hesitation, full of frustration and helplessness.

"Mr. Yang's words are wrong." Gu Shunzhang's face smeared with pride: "Our party has made great sacrifices and demonstrated strong combat effectiveness in the three-month battle in western Liaoning, but the weapons and equipment are too simple and No greater victories have been achieved. Therefore, the task of regaining the lost territory in the Northeast can be completed independently by our party's army. If you really want to resist Japan, why not provide us with equipment and military pay for [-] reorganized divisions, and then let us Come and fight the Japanese invaders."

"You..." Yang Yongtai pondered for a moment: "Your party's request is too much, it is completely unreasonable!" At this point he shook his head: "Then can this work? Our National Revolutionary Army does not pass your party's request. As long as you agree to transport the general fire to Tianjin to arm the Northeast Army, and then transfer the Northeast Army to go out to fight, it will be all right, right?"

"You want to transfer the Northeast Army out of customs?" Gu Shunzhang sneered: "The Northeast Army lost a total of 5 people in the Battle of Liaoxi! But did you give a penny in compensation? Did you add a bullet or a rifle? Yours The aircraft factory, tank factory, and shipyard are all huge in scale, far surpassing Japan! However, the air force and armored cavalry brigade of the Northeast Army wanted you to provide aircraft and tanks, but you flatly refused! What's more, you The Chinese Navy also took over the Northeast Army Navy and incorporated them directly into your Beiyang Fleet! If you want to transfer the Northeast Army to go out, you should pay off these debts first."

What Gu Shunzhang said was the truth, and it was Luo Yaoguo who had just returned to Wuhan to take up the post of Chief of Staff who ordered the suspension of military subsidies and ammunition supplies to the Northeast Army!Perhaps because he felt that the outcome of the Northeast War was uncertain, Luo Yaoguo returned to Wuhan after recommending An Sihua as the commander of the war zone.And his first order after arriving at the General Staff Headquarters was to cut off all supplies and military pay for the Northeast Army!This move is really puzzling. Luo Yaoguo didn't seem to want to win over Zhang Xueliang at all, and even deliberately pushed him towards the CCP.

"This is going to be difficult." Yang Yongtai leaned back on the chair and sighed. Wu Zhong, chairman of the "North and South Foundation" who accompanied him to negotiate, immediately took over the topic: "Mr. Gu, if everyone does not give in , the negotiations are bound to be delayed indefinitely, which will have an extremely adverse impact on the Northeast War of Resistance.”

Gu Shunzhang shook his head slightly: "We have already made major concessions, and we also hope that your party will agree to our request from the standpoint of the country and the nation."

The negotiation reached an impasse again, Yang Yongtai was helpless, and Gu Shunzhang had no choice, so the two parties had to adjourn the meeting again.When Yang Yongtai returned to the Prince's Mansion in Shuncheng County, he received a report that Chen Duxiu had arrived in Tianjin with his campaign team.

After half a month of preparation, Chen Duxiu's Communist League of China has raised millions of yuan in campaign funds and set up a full campaign team.Although when everything was ready, news came that the CCP was preparing to abolish the Republic of China and establish a Chinese Soviet Republic, but Chen Duxiu still did not intend to give up. He issued a statement saying that if the CCP wanted to establish a Soviet Republic, then he would run for election. Chairman of the Central Government of the Soviet Republic!This election must be carried through to the end.

"Hehe, this Chen Duxiu's temper is quite stubborn. At this time, he has to choose the final... Not bad, not bad." At this time, Yang Yongtai still has a little sigh when he is frustrated at the negotiating table, with a round face and a smile He kept nodding: "Gongwei." He looked back at Wu Chong beside him: "Can the Northeast Army guarantee Chen Duxiu's safety?"

"General Guo Maochen supports us. It should be no problem if he patted his chest." Wu Zhong replied: "However, Zhang Xueliang seems to be a little annoyed at the suspension of the Northeast Army's military pay and the supply of weapons and ammunition by the assistant commander. According to intelligence, The CCP is also desperately trying to win them over."

Yang Yongtai thought for a moment, then nodded noncommittally. Maybe Luo Yaoguo's intention was to force the 10,000+ Northeast Army who could eat and fight into the CCP's camp?The current economy of the CCP is extremely difficult. If there are 10,000+ more people to eat... it is hard to say it is a good thing.

"How are the democrats in Beijing doing? Will Mrs. Sun see us?" Yang Yongtai asked again.

Wu Zhong smiled wryly: "According to the report of our informant around Mrs. Sun, she seems to be a secret member of the CCP. She probably won't meet with us, and even if she does, she won't be able to talk about it."

Yang Yongtai's face suddenly became serious. Soong Ching Ling's status was very special. She was Sun Yat-sen's widow, and she could represent Sun Yat-sen's last wish to a certain extent.It would be fine if she openly joined the CCP, and the KMT Central Committee in Wuhan could naturally accuse her of "betrayal."But right now she is joining in secret. On the surface, she is the "Mother of the Nation" of the Kuomintang, Sun Yat-sen's widow, and the lethality of criticizing and attacking the Kuomintang is extraordinary!
