Chapter 28: There is hope
"Sir and Madam" still vividly remember what happened at the airport, and his armed men were forced to have their weapons confiscated by the muzzle of six black holes in the armoured car, because no one was allowed to have military-grade weapons except for civilian-grade weapons in Shandong.
The so-called civilian weapons are nothing more than rubber bullets, and the barrel and chamber are also designed to be difficult to modify. With such a weapon, there is no big problem in using it for self-defense, but it is quite difficult to use it to kill people.
In particular, if someone wants to use it as a traitor section, it is of little use because it does not allow the security forces and police to use body armor. As for gun modification, it is again extremely tightly controlled here.
As for hunting rifles, although there are places for sale, their use is limited to the hunting area of the forest park near Laoshan Mountain, and they must be rented by the park management office, and they are not allowed to leave the hunting area.
All in all, the former parliamentarians who came here from Guangzhou were quite interesting, and they contacted a good place to live for "Mr. and Mrs.", and at the same time prepared a drinking party to wash the dust.
"Mister" finds an interesting phenomenon here, that is, the actual control of the city is the "city council" organized by the city, and the councillors are elected from the neighborhood to the management of the city. There were not only people who returned from Europe and later became factory owners during the construction process in Batavia, but also soldiers who were once members of Thunder International. There are even foreign devils.
From these councillors, it is not difficult to see that the demographic structure of the city of Qindao, which is still in full swing, is not only those who have worked hard, toiled and struggled in Europe, but also their families.
None of these parliamentarians who once served in the Beijing government were automatically elected, and they were not even qualified. With the exception of the first group of locals and those who have followed Tang Yunyang to conquer the world, the next parliamentary elections will be held in five years' time.
At this time, it reflects the shrewdness of those who used to be members of Congress, and they have bought property and property here, which is the most advanced, most convenient and fastest-growing place in China today. Second, looking at the scale of construction here, it is not difficult to guess that this is likely to be the future capital of China.
"This is a party full of fighting spirit and confidence, and it is not difficult to see that they dare to build China's future capital here, and they are confident that in the future they will build an army that will make the whole world tremble, and now at least they have made the whole of Asia tremble for them!"
In the process of returning from the concentration camps, it is not difficult for "sir" to deduce from the rumors he heard about the previous war that the Chinese Renaissance Party wants to build a country that actively participates in international affairs. The "Chinese National Defense Force" is a new type of army built in accordance with such standards.
There's nothing wrong with being actively involved in international affairs, but it's not entirely true. While being active, there is also a strong question, that is, the purpose of vigorously protecting the interests of the Chinese nation and China, otherwise everything can be resolved peacefully, so what else does the army do? Sometimes, to deal with disobedient guys, you have to rely on your fists!
In addition, it can be seen from the huge airfield under construction here and near Guangzhou that they do not intend to rely on any coastal artillery to protect the coastline, but probably rely on airships that have been patrolling the sky and a navy that is continuing to build.
As for the large-caliber shore guns that were dismantled from Japan, they were placed on the coast near Qingdao City and used as a theme park. Of course, those cannonballs are not easily reheated, and one day in the future, they will make some countries tremble!
Any party that wants to compete with the "China Renaissance Party" will undoubtedly have the city council here as the most important seat in contention. And the person who won the seat of parliament for this peace is undoubtedly one of the figures that various parties will vy to win over in the future.
During his arrival in Shandong, in addition to Li Shizeng, Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yi, and many other people who had joined the "China Renaissance Party" from the "Alliance" or from the "Alliance," he also met with Chen Kah Kee, who had made a special trip from Nanyang to express the support of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang for the war that was about to begin in the Qindao regime.
The 52-year-old "Mister" looks much older than the 44-year-old Tan Kah Kee, especially after spending some time in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, and his face is extremely haggard.
But here I can't help but make contributions to China's future, although he has a habit that ordinary Chinese politicians can't get rid of, that is, "authoritative thinking". Among the revolutionaries of the Republic of China at that time, most of them had the same idea. That is, the party members under his command should obey their orders, how they should be, and how they should be.
Otherwise, the Chinese Revolutionary Party would not have asked its members to sign their personal "letters of allegiance" at the beginning of its founding. As for the cause of the incident, it is nothing more than that when Yuan Shikai asked for political status, among the "old Kuomintang" reorganized by the League at that time, party members had different opinions and could not come up with a quasi-idea.
It can be seen that the "sir" of the lower field is obsessed, and the root cause is that the old Chinese saying is making trouble. "If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world", so "people with lofty ideals" like "Mr" naturally ask for it. This is also the goal pursued by revolutionaries and thinkers during the Republic of China.
As a result, people with lofty ideals have become people who are swayed and used by political rights and interests, and it is difficult to ensure that their true "aspirations" will not deviate due to the influence of reality. Therefore, the fundamental fault lies not in the people, but in the means. "Having aspirations" should not be a slogan, and "being promising" is the only means to make China fundamentally rich and strong.
It must be said that in the later period of the feudal society, under the pressure of the foreign powers, the Japanese had a more far-sighted mentality when they were transformed than the politicians of the Republic of China at that time.
"At that time, after the 'Guangdong Incident', I originally had the idea of going out to Nanyang, but the overseas Chinese there now have a close relationship with the Chinese Baath Party, and I was worried that we would be criticized by the unknown truth when we got there, so we went through Japan. I was going to take a boat to Europe, but I didn't expect ......"
Such words are heard in Chen Jiageng's ears, but they may not be used. After all, although the other party did not talk about the excessive support of the "China Renaissance Party" among overseas Chinese in Nanyang, he was unwilling not to read his own psychological words. Indeed, "Sir's" party and himself had considerable influence among overseas Chinese in Europe and Nanyang, and even his earlier actions were often financed by overseas Chinese.
However, all of this has now changed. This is not because of the attack on the "Whampoa Non-commissioned Officer" school by "Mr.", but because of the action in Batavia, which is tantamount to announcing the rights of overseas Chinese to the world. This alone has long won the hearts of overseas Chinese in Nanyang.
"Yes, the overseas Chinese now welcome the Chinese Baath Party very much, after all, it is they in Batavia, with their organized workers and the production of arms for the Australians, to give a bad breath to the local Chinese. so that they can continue to live on the property they have worked so hard for. It's probably because of this that ......"
Hearing such an answer, "Sir" couldn't answer, after all, if you talk about it, the overseas Chinese used to have the same enthusiasm for the alliance, but now if they want to regain their recognition, what kind of difficult thing is it?
"There is indeed some truth in what Mr. Chen said. I also have a reluctant request, after returning to Nanyang, to explain to the overseas Chinese there that what happened in Guangdong is just a misunderstanding to save the military academy from being attacked by the Japanese because of its affiliation! β
"Definitely, definitely!" This is Chen Jiageng's answer, although he answered very happily, but he also knew in his heart that this was just a void and a snake.
For this meeting, "sir" also did not hold out any greater hope in his heart, and overseas Chinese would be willing to hear such an explanation from him on behalf of the "Chinese Revolutionary Party"! After all, after so many years of being bullied by those local birdmen, this is also the only time that someone has spoken for them, stood up for them, and sang for them.
As for themselves, driven by political interests, they only see the military value represented by 5,000 well-trained non-commissioned officers, and ignore their feelings. Or in retrospect, I didn't think of this at all, and in today's embattled situation, it is really embarrassing to look back.
As for the explanation of the "Guangdong incident," it is generally reasonable in terms of reason. However, I am afraid that the overseas Chinese who have received the favor of the "China Renaissance Party" will not listen to them at all, after all, they are brothers in distress, and there is nothing more affectionate than this!
At the time of farewell, "Mr. " said something that moved Chen Jiageng a little, but as for whether those overseas Chinese in Nanyang will be moved, this is unknown.
"Yes, the war in our country has made us people exhausted, and we have always forgotten the help of overseas Chinese in Nanyang to the motherland, and now looking back, I am really ashamed. In the future, I think we should do more for them as well. β
The conversation said that so far, the meeting between the two can be regarded as somewhat fruitful.
When "Mr. and Mrs." watched the back of Chen Jiageng leaving, they nodded lightly to each other. Obviously, in the relaxed environment created by the "Qindao regime" for the whole of Shandong, there is still hope for the "Chinese Revolutionary Party" to recover.
βββββββββββββ arguments beyond 3,000 words can be ignoredββββββββββββ
Someone once said that the history of overseas Chinese in Nanyang is a history of blood and tears of overseas Chinese. This is true, and it is also an inevitable trend to survive in the gap between the colonial regime and the dissatisfaction of the locals.
However, successive governments from the Manchu dynasty onwards did not dare to use military force to provide the most basic means of protection for their own people. It was undoubtedly a kind of encouragement for the slaughter of foreigners and the enslavement of the colonial authorities, so why was their suffering so miserable?
But when the motherland was in danger, it was these people who organized a large amount of donations, or simply abandoned their families and businesses to return to China to participate in the war. In World War II, I believe everyone knows how much they contributed to the invasion of China by the Japanese Empire.
But when asked, what about us? We Chinese living in China, what have we done for them? When they faced the butcher's knife of the foreign race with blood and tears, what did we, brothers born from the same roots, do? What has been done to these brothers who have repeatedly reached out to help their country in times of crisis?
If I don't blush, I can only say that such a heart is really as hard as steel, so stupid that I have never even heard the phrase "receive the grace of a drop of water from a person, and repay it with a spring".
So, please remember that there is no such thing as love and hate in this world, and we can even ask ourselves, if one day we suffer another misfortune, will they still have someone to help?
By that time, I'm sure we'll understand!
