Chapter 150: Tough
Both the Communist Progressive Party and the Kuomintang belong to the revolutionary party and belong to the party, and they belong to two different camps from President Yuan Da in the north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoFor most of the ordinary people in the country, it is true to say this, but in the hearts of those political elites, which one is not open? Although the two parties are not yet incompatible, it is certain that they will not deal with each other in a subtle way.
Far away, before the Republic of China, at that time, the Communist Progressive Party was only active in a small area, and everyone does not know how, but in the recent period, the Kuomintang Party, which was reorganized and established after destroying the party and building the party, has set off an overwhelming speech and propaganda campaign nationwide in order to win the parliamentary elections to come next year, creating momentum for itself. However, those who are interested know that this scope does not include the southwestern provinces under the jurisdiction of the Communist Progressive Party, and the reason is very simple: all the people of the Kuomintang who have entered the southwest to carry out public activities have been sent out of the country by the Communist Party in various names.
The KMT's dissatisfaction with the CCP is obvious, from digging into the corners of the League before the Xinhai Year and co-opting its elites, to the current all-round suppression and attack of the KMT in the southwest; Coincidentally, the DPP does not necessarily have much of a favorable opinion of the KMT. Because there are considerable differences between the two parties in terms of their organizational constitutions and political programs, when recruiting party members, the Communist Party is based on the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, while the Kuomintang Party implements the principle of not rejecting those who come. This made most of the Communist Party members scoff at this kind of behavior of the Kuomintang. The Kuomintang is even more disdainful of the Kuomintang, which is sloppy in organization, competing for power and profit, and has a mixed mix of fish and dragons, and a convergence of three religions and nine streams. For these grievances and grievances that are faintly mixed in, Chen Zutao, as a member of the Communist Party, must be clear.
Walking down the street, Chen Zutao avoided a few KMT supporters who were handing out leaflets, and thought lightly about his own thoughts. Speaking from the heart, Chen Zutao doesn't want to make too many evaluations of his second uncle's personality, as a junior. No matter what outsiders think of or say, it is his second uncle, the second uncle who cares about himself and Zu Yan. He never thought that he could successfully hide his identity as a communist party from his second uncle, he was not a fool, he could hear it from the second uncle's meaningful sigh before going out.
There are so many parties in the country now, and the United Party and the Progressive Party can really be counted, and there are only two or three of them.
As for the Kuomintang, he may have been fine before, but now, he has been systematically studying in the party school of the Communist Party for three months, and he is not interested in it at all. Don't look at Song Jiaoren's current enthusiasm for the KMT, not only does he not refuse to come, but he also distributes leaflets and makes speeches everywhere, which is now a huge momentum in China. However, he could not imagine what it would be like for such a mixed and disorganized party, which did not even have a clear governing program, to be entrusted to them to run the country.
Leaving aside the problems of the Kuomintang itself, let's just say that on the Beiyang side, although they do not understand what a party is, and although party building lags behind a lot, they still have one of the most powerful armed forces in the country at present. Will Beiyang, who holds the barrel of a gun, willingly cede power? Thinking of this, Chen Zutao shook his head, and he suddenly remembered a sentence he heard when he was training at the party school, only a gun can get out of power.
Maybe everyone has their own insistence in their hearts! Chen Zutao knew that because of his partisan opinion, he went to the southwest this time and completely parted ways with his second uncle, who belonged to the Kuomintang Party.
Putting aside Chen Zutao, he said that in the small conference room of the Southwest Autonomous Government in Chengdu, both sides of the conference table were already full, and the fresh fragrance of tea permeated the entire room.
Wang **hui had a sad face, and kept glancing at Yang Zhenhong, director of the General Political Department who was sitting next to him, but Yang Zhenhong didn't look at the British Consul General in Chengdu who was sitting opposite with a gloomy face, but lowered his head and studied the teacup in front of him with great interest. Several attachΓ©s on both sides also sat on either side, constantly recording something with brushes, and often glaring at the representatives from time to time.
Pan Lena raised his chin slightly and looked coldly at the military and political representatives of the southwest sitting opposite. As a diplomat in the most powerful country in the world, he was quite proud in his heart, and he had always believed that no one in the world could face the pressure of the British Empire alone. Therefore, for the statement made by Southwest before, although he still sent it to his superiors because of his duties, he still read it as a joke. But what everyone didn't expect was that these people in front of them used the facts to dump the British Empire and slap themselves.
Since the outbreak of revolution in this country last year and the situation began to be turbulent, there has always been a fear that a new regime will emerge in the Far East that will damage the interests of the British Empire, so it will support Yuan Shikai to ascend to the throne at any cost. Now, however, the problem arises! This damn local force actually launched an attack on the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Army was defeated one after another, although it was mostly a colonial army, but you must know that it was completely reversed a few years ago.
The Germans and the Americans were in secret contact with the southwest, and the British were not unaware of it, and because of this, the country began to worry that if the two sides could not be forced to sit down as soon as possible, then not only the situation in Burma would be turbulent, but also the situation in mainland India would not be optimistic, and the situation was already a little urgent, to the point that it had to be resolved! You must know that those group of Ah San have not been too peaceful in the past two years.
Seeing the movements of the two opposites, Pan Lena was angry, but he had to maintain the cultivation of a diplomat on this occasion. The Chinese are not in a hurry, he is a little anxious, you must know that the country is still waiting for news from his side! at
After muttering English for a while, he only heard the diplomat repeat: "The southwest government must pay the indemnity paid by the Qing Empire to the imperial government as usual, must continue to give the British Empire the right of free passage of goods in the southwest, and must hand over the internal railway to our supervision of construction." The southwestern side must bear full responsibility for this border conflict, must withdraw to China as soon as possible, and compensate for all the losses caused to the British Empire! β
A must, a must, a must! A few must be exported, not only Yang Zhenhong, but even Wang **hui, who has always been a good person, can't listen to it, and such conditions can no longer be described as harsh. What is this? If such a promise is agreed, it will be more than just a loss of power and humiliation of the country. Didn't the British government know that it was the British army that was in ruin in Burma? I really don't know where they got the confidence! Is it just a small Far Eastern Fleet that cannot go ashore? Is it just the Indian Asan, whose heads are wrapped in cloths? Did Britain want to fight a war that was much bigger than the Boer War?
Yang Zhenhong was really angry, stood up, turned his head to look at Wang ** Hui and said, "Liang Chou, you tell him." On the battlefield in Burma, it was the British army that was defeated along the way, and he was asked to recognize this reality. In addition, we will never pay any compensation left behind. In our internal affairs, it is not yet their turn to point fingers at the British. β
After Wang **Hui finished translating, Pan Lena's cold face changed slightly. As soon as he entered this conference room and saw Yang Zhenhong in military uniform, Pan Lena had a bad feeling in his heart, the soldiers are all tough, and they are not suitable for diplomatic negotiations at all. Now it has come true, but Pan Lener still said with a strong face: "Stopping the bloodshed at an early date and continuing to pay reparations is the basis for the peaceful coexistence of our two sides." β
"Reparations? We will never pay! This is our bottom line, if we continue to pay reparations, then what is the difference between us and the Manchu government? How else can you explain to the people of the southwest? An early halt to the bloodshed is what we hope for, but we do not hope that this will be achieved in this way. We don't want war, but we don't fear it either! Yang Zhenhong had a cold face, and interrupted without waiting for Pan Lena to finish.
Pan Lena's face also began to turn even colder, and he immediately said: "Your Excellency, I need to remind you that the British Empire will never sit idly by and watch any act that damages the interests of the Empire, and if you continue to insist like this, then I will tell you with great regret that this is likely to lead to an even greater war disaster!" β
Wang **hui, who had never experienced such a scene, was already clenching his teeth at this time, and he experienced unprecedented humiliation for such an ultimatum-like foreign affairs meeting.
"Then let's see each other on the battlefield!" Yang Zhenhong forcibly suppressed his anger to calm his mind, and snorted coldly.
"I heard Chairman Xiao say that I deeply love my motherland and people. At this moment, this is the only sentence that can express my feelings. Seeing Yang Zhenhong striding out, Wang ** Hui Tie blushed, his eyes swept over the faces of the same young diplomats who were excited behind him, and stopped at a younger soldier on the sentry not far from the window, and said slowly: "Please tell your Excellency the consul that if we are destined to exchange the sacrifices of our generation for the rebirth of our great country, then we will never back down!" β
Looking at the southwest representatives who came out, no one knew what Pan Lena was thinking at this time.
