Sichuan Tang Shaoyi, followed by the North decay after so many years, for Zhao Bei's personality and style of doing things, Yang Du is also more familiar with himself, originally, according to Yang Du's speculation, this time Zhao Bei used the petition incident to jump to the front so openly. This can only mean one thing, that is, Zhao Bei is ready to regain control of the central power, otherwise. I'm afraid the title "madman" can be thrown away.

But what surprised Yang Du was that now, when the Congress was in chaos and panic, and when the petitioning soldiers were raging, Zhao Bei actually said in front of reporters that he planned to participate in the next presidential election and use dignified means to gain control of the central power.

I don't even take advantage of this. A great opportunity for a military coup? Now the hearts of the army and the people are on the side of Zhaobei.

Is this still the "Far Eastern madman" who dared to challenge the old international order? Is this still the "Far Eastern madman" who regarded the Beiyang as a mustard and the Manchu Qing as nothing?

It's too strange, this doesn't fit Zhao Bei's consistent style of doing things.

Zhao Bei's most prominent feature is one. The word "mad", at the beginning of the revolution, he did not act according to the plan formulated by Xiong Chengji and others, but advanced thousands of miles into Wuhan, and won the most critical strategic city in Central China in one fell swoop, which can be seen that his "madness" is also this small "madness" energy, Zhao Bei will resolutely take the initiative to provoke a war against the interests of Japan and Northeast Asia, although his style of doing things seems to be very risky, but every adventure ends in success, so people gave him a nickname "Far East madman"

Isn't it strange that the "madmen" are no longer crazy and want to use the weapon of the ballot to compete for presidential power with those professional politicians in suits and leather shoes and with bright tongues?

Yang Du was not as naïve as the others, in fact, from the very beginning, from the time he accepted the task given to him by Zhao Bei in the mansion, Yang Du insisted that Zhao Bei would definitely seize back power in a wild and uninhibited posture.

At that time, the secret task that Zhao Bei gave to Yang Du was to provoke a storm in the Congress, and use the means of parliamentary debate to completely change the promulgation of martial law orders, and temporarily transfer the power originally in the hands of the president to the hands of the Congress, which is suspected of violating the constitution, but Zhao Bei's purpose was not simple from the beginning, this point, Yang Du saw it at the time, but he thought that this method was used to frame Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China, but later, Yang Du came back to his senses, It turned out that this trap was not dug for Li Yuanhong, but used to trap the Congress.

Facts have also proved that Zhao Bei's puzzle is very cleverly arranged. The Congress, which could have stayed out of the matter, was dragged into the vortex by this conspiracy, so that the Congress, a public opinion organ, violated the "will of the people" and finally placed itself on the opposite side of the people.

What happened next was not beyond Yang Du's expectations, Zhao Bei really jumped out with the banner of "asking for the people's life", and led the petition team to march into the parliament to seek justice for the people. And when the petition team quickly expanded from veterans to active duty soldiers, Yang Du once wishfully thought that Zhao Bei would immediately launch a bloodless coup d'état in the National Assembly, and then dissolve the National Assembly, which could not represent the will of the people, and oust President Li Yuanhong from power. After that, a new political era will begin immediately, and Yang Du, as the vanguard of President Zhao's restoration, should become the core figure of the new government, and even the prime minister.

But it turned out that Yang Du's idea was wrong. After the development of things to this point, there was a sudden, 180-degree turn, and the coup did not happen. The National Assembly has not been dissolved, and even Li Yuanhong is still the president of the Republic of China, and Zhao Bei said in front of reporters that he is about to participate in the next presidential election and return to the presidential palace by dignified means.

So the question is, what does Zhao Bei want to do?

This is also the question that Yang Du is thinking about now, standing behind the reporters, he wrinkled his brows and thought hard, but he couldn't figure out a small clue, he instinctively thought that Zhao Bei's plan would not be so simple. But if Zhao Bei really has a backup move, then what will it be?

Expand the electorate and impose a high inheritance tax on the chaebols. The proposal of these bills can indeed greatly enhance Zhao Bei's popularity, make more voters stand on his side, and ensure that his votes far exceed those of his competitors, but this requires a premise, that is, the revision of the law.

Amend the law, which must pass through Congress. Judging from the overwhelming sentiment of the majority of the current Congress, it is impossible to pass these laws to amend them, and it is true that the president can dissolve the current Congress and elect new members. The formation of a new Congress, but not to mention that Li Yuanhongken is unwilling to do so, even if the dissolution of this Congress is small, but the question is not only whether the new Congress will stand on Zhao Bei's side, but also that the election and election of the new Congress will take time, if it drags on for a while, maybe the next presidential election will begin, and by that time, the new law has not yet been passed, how can Zhao Bei have the support of a large number of new voters? The next presidential election, which begins next spring, is very time-sensitive, and no candidate who hopes to win the election will take the initiative to provoke members of Congress and the upper echelons of society at this time.

If Zhao Bei doesn't throw out the inheritance tax bill, maybe he can use his prestige to win over a group of chaebols who are optimistic about him, but the problem is that once he throws out this inheritance tax bill. Then he immediately pushed himself to the opposite side of the chaebol, Zhao Bei has always done things in a very measured way, and he would never act recklessly because of anger, he threw out the inheritance tax bill, obviously anticipating the possible consequences, but he still did it, and he did it quite decisively, without considering the thoughts of the chaebol.

Under the current election rules, without the support of the chaebol, it is impossible for anyone to gain a foothold in the political circles, although Zhao Bei's prestige is very high, but if he insists on returning to the presidential palace through the method of eliminating the industry, the risk is also quite high In Yang Du's view, Zhao Bei regains control of the center by force is the safest way. And he also believes that Zhao Bei is by no means the kind of person who is willing to take unnecessary risks for the sake of fame, the so-called "respect for the law." Zhao Bei can deceive parliamentarians and voters, but he can't deceive Yang Du. Otherwise, Zhao Bei would not have specifically asked Yang Du to go to the National Assembly to deliver a speech suspected of violating the Constitution.

This matter is quite weird, and the more Yang Du thinks about it, the more confused he becomes.

Therefore, when the reporters were still asking Zhao Bei questions, Yang Du stood aside and pondered. It wasn't until someone tapped him on the shoulder that he came back to his senses.

Yang Du turned his head to look, and the person who patted him on the shoulder was Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi.

"For the time being, why are you standing here in a daze?

Yang Du naturally couldn't tell Tang Shaoyi what he really thought, so he said: "I'm thinking, now that the people in the Congress are panicking, I'm afraid that I can't continue to hold a meeting today." If these problems are not resolved as soon as possible, the situation in the city does not know when it will be eased.

"I'm worried about that, too. Although martial law has been issued, no one can say what the morale of the military will be. As soon as Zhao Zhenhua raised his arms, more than 10,000 troops of the National Defense Forces followed, and in this case, even if President Li Da decided to use force to suppress it, I am afraid that it would be useless, and on the contrary, the situation might get completely out of control. small

Tang Shaoyi nodded, he came from the Temple of Heaven with Zhao Bei, on the way. He witnessed Zhao Bei's unparalleled appeal and personality charm, the so-called "looking at the wind and shadowing." This is definitely not an exaggeration, until now, Tang Shaoyi's ears still seem to be able to hear the soldiers chanting, "The commander-in-chief is back." sounds.

The key is what Zhao Zhenhua thinks, Yang Du's words are true.

That's true, Tang Shaoyi agreed.

The two were about to talk a few more words, but they saw reporters flocking towards the exit of the corridor, obviously. Zhao Bei was walking in that direction, so the reporters also followed, so the two hurriedly followed.

Walking out of the Capitol along the corridor, Xiao Tang Shaoyi and Yang Du saw that Zhao Bei had separated reporters. Stood at the top of the white marble steps. He was waving his arms at the crowd in the square in front of the Capitol.

The petitioners who had gathered in front of the Capitol immediately cheered, and the atmosphere immediately boiled, and at this moment, a melodious military song suddenly came out from the electric loudspeakers temporarily erected on the outer wall of the Capitol. "When will I wake up after a long dream for a thousand years, and who will make the alarm bell ring. East Asia Xiongzhou will sink the land, and listen to the lyrics of the song "Lian Run Mo Shaoguang is old, and the old man is self-pitying." Catching up with Japan, Europe and the United States, the world's civilization is the first to open

As soon as the military song in the electric horn sounded, the crowd below suddenly became even more jubilant, and at the same time, Zhao Bei also sang this song loudly, "The revolution of the war, the military song of the small period, and the soldiers below saw the actions of the commander-in-chief." Immediately roared. The atmosphere of the scene reached its peak.

"Although I can't sing this military song. But at this moment, it sounds like it's boiling. Tang Shaoyi sighed.

"When it comes to morale. In the whole world, no one can compare to Zhao Zhenhua Yang Du is also emotional. I'm glad I'm on the right side.

By the time the military song chorus ended, Zhao Bei already had an electric speaker microphone in his hand, and he stood on the steps and announced a message to the petitioning soldiers in the audience.

"Sacrifice for the interests of the motherland. Veterans of the interests of people! Active-duty soldiers who are dedicating their youth and blood to the interests of the motherland! Here, I would like to begin by thanking you for your actions today. You have proved with your actions loyalty to the Motherland, as well as to the republican cause! Now that the President and Congress have accepted our national petition, the President has promised to give a definitive answer within five days, and the Congress has decided to hold a second plenary session in five days to decide whether to adopt our proposal and amend the corresponding laws to give more national suffrage.

We will patiently await the reply of the President and the Congress, and in the meantime, in order to ensure order in the capital, I propose that all petitioners temporarily withdraw from the capital and live in the countryside and towns around the capital, and in the meantime, I personally contribute to the problem of accommodation and food. Four years ago. I ended my politics early, and Congress gave me a special prize of 5 million in order to reward me for this move. I took half of it and used the money to make small deals in the financial markets. Although experiencing an economic crisis. But I finally saved the capital, and now, I take out all the money. The petitioner's daily room and board expenses are paid from here, if it is not enough. I am sure that there are many people who respect the military and the people like me, and you and I are not alone, and we are not alone."

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei paused, and then changed his words. He also said: "In addition, the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow is the day of the seventieth birthday of Mr. Zhao Taishan Han, at that time." I will invite 1,000 veterans and their families to the banquet, and join me to celebrate the birthday of Lao Taishan, not afraid of many people, there are places, I have borrowed some military tents from the Ministry of Defense, and when the time comes, we will sit in the tents, eat meat in large pieces, drink wine in large bowls, and then recount so many years old by the way. ”

As soon as the words fell, the scene was jubilant again, but Tang Shaoyi and the others were dumbfounded.

"Sure enough, it's a big deal, and by the way, some people praise it.

"Then I really have to go to this birthday party, a senator said.

"I'm afraid it will be too lively," another senator said.

"yes. When the time comes. Just look at the excitement. One thousand veterans. Plus their families, I'm afraid there are no less than 5,000 people, plus those distinguished guests, "Well, you can form two infantry brigades." An officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs muttered.

Hearing this, Tang Shaoyi smiled dumbly, is this like a "madman"'s style of doing things. (To be continued.) If you want to know what's next, log in... There are more chapters, and it is supported

Like Sichuan Tang Shaoyi, Yang Du also made a very strange statement to Zhao Bei. After so many years of being in the north of the country, Yang Du is also familiar with Zhao Bei's personality and style of doing things, originally, according to Yang Du's speculation, Zhao Bei used the petition incident to jump to the front so openly. This can only mean one thing, that is, Zhao Bei is ready to regain control of the central power, otherwise. I'm afraid the title "madman" can be thrown away.

Hand hitting】

The street trees on the side of the road stretched their branches and leaves in the sunlight, and cast the shadows of the branches and leaves on the oily pavement, making the road surface look mottled, light and dark.

Connecting Beijing and Xishan, this road has always been a busy arterial road, with a lot of traffic and bustle, just like the wheat fields on the roadside, responding to the rhythm of the industrial age.

Now it is not far from the autumn harvest, there are many farmers in the wheat field, some agricultural machinery is also dragged to the field, doing some necessary maintenance, the wheat field is golden, but the ridge can smell the smell of oil, the traditional agricultural production mode has been more and more interfered with by industrial technology, although the economic depression has affected the further promotion of agricultural machinery, but as long as the pace of the industrial age continues to move forward, then agriculture will continue to seek a way out from the technology of the industrial age.

Looking at the golden wheat field, Xiong Chengji's mood finally improved, and like him, Zhang Taiyan, who was sitting next to him, also showed a rare smile.

Now, Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan are sitting in the same car and talking, and the car is also driving along this Payouma Road in the direction of Xishan.

"Ajin, this year is a good year.

Zhang Taiyan said with a smile.

"Yes, the wind and rain are smooth, and the harvest must be brushed, but the economy is in recession, but the price of agricultural products has never been raised." Xiong Chengji nodded.

"The price of industrial products can't be raised, but there is no way, all countries are like this, now the whole world is the same, China's domestic market is relatively large, and it can barely survive, but countries like its own can't hold on, so ah, Japan will hurriedly provoke disputes in New Guinea, occupy Papua, try to expand the commodity sales market and immigration areas, and solve the domestic crisis."

Seeing that Zhang Taiyan suddenly mentioned this topic, Xiong Chengji was a little strange and asked: "I'm over there in Nanyang, and I know a little about the Papua conflict, I don't know how many people in China pay attention to this topic?" ”

"Not much. At present, most of the Chinese people are staring at their own jobs, and they have little attention to international affairs, that is, some journalists and strategic analysts are paying attention to this matter, and this time the League of Nations mediated the Papua conflict, and the central government of our country was also invited to send an observer to assist the League of Nations in its investigation. However, since Japan is not a member of the League of Nations, then there is no right to decide, in fact, the matter basically depends on the attitude of Britain and France, while Japan appears to be quite isolated, and more importantly, the US government is also extremely dissatisfied with Japan's expansion in New Guinea, so it may be difficult for Japan to bargain. Now some people say that Japan may withdraw from the League of Nations, but this matter is not groundless. Speaking of this, Zhang Taiyan sighed, changed his words, and talked about another topic.

"In fact, some people in China are also advocating joining the League of Nations, but what are the benefits of joining the League of Nations for China? Japan's situation has proven that Britain and France, which dominate the affairs of the League of Nations, will never allow any action that touches or threatens the interests of both countries, and Papua is Australia's sphere of influence and Britain is Australia's backer. Japan's tossing in Papua is tantamount to challenging British interests, and it is strange that the British government does not fight back. Therefore, Zhao Zhenhua's decision not to join the League of Nations was correct, and over the years, it is indeed in the national interest that China can ignore the resolutions of the League of Nations and take separate action. ”

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Xiong Chengji is strange.

"Last night, I talked with a few old friends at a meeting of the National League, and I learned that the Japanese Government is now stepping up contacts with some influential people in Chinese political circles through some channels in an attempt to obtain China's strong support, not only diplomatic support, but also military and political support on the issue of the Papua conflict. I'm worried that if this matter continues like this, Japan may drag our country into a war against Britain and France, so I bring up this topic now, just to negotiate with you first, and wait to see Zhao Zhenhua, we also need to mention this matter, now it seems that Zhao Zhenhua's recovery is almost a foregone conclusion, and the rest is only a matter of time, if the next president is Zhao Zhenhua, then, it is necessary to remind him that the world is facing a new large-scale war, Perhaps even more staggering than the last European war, I am a pacifist who opposes war and does not want to see my country involved in any global war. Zhang Taiyan said.

"It's useless. Zhao Zhenhua has always been cautious, and no one can change what he decides, and he will almost certainly not side with the European powers in the case of New Guinea. Besides, this time we went to Xishan, we are going to celebrate Mr. Han's birthday, if we suddenly talk about the topic of world war, it will inevitably be a little unpleasant, this matter can be discussed, but not today, moreover, there are a lot of domestic problems now, where is the mood to care about the international situation? As for the danger of war, it does exist, but it has not yet burned its eyebrows, so it is better to be concerned about the domestic situation first. ”

Xiong Chengji shook his head, he was not interested in this topic at all, although he settled in Nanyang, but after returning to China this time, he found that spiritually speaking, he has always been on the side of the motherland, and the domestic crisis affected his heart, making him almost sleepless at night.

The day before yesterday, the veterans entered Beijing to petition, Xiong Chengji originally planned to enter Beijing immediately, but after they got off the bus in Changxindian, they failed to arrive in Beijing in time, and when they walked to Nanyuan, they were stopped by the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The veterans who tried to enter Beijing were also stopped. No. At that time, Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China, had officially issued a martial law order, no matter who he was, as long as he did not have a pass, he could not enter Beijing, and it was precisely because of this that Xiao Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan and others were delayed in Nanyuan for a day, until yesterday, Zhang Taiyan managed to get a pass from the martial law headquarters, and everyone was able to rush to the capital, and temporarily settled down in a newspaper controlled by the National League, and learned the details of the entire petition in the newspaper office.

Xiong Chengji was very surprised by Zhao Bei's performance in this incident, in his opinion, whether in terms of strategy or tactics, Zhao Bei has achieved a comprehensive victory, whether it is the presidential palace, or the Congress, they have lost a mess in this puzzle carefully arranged by Zhao Bei, it can be said that the presidential election has not yet begun, and the overall situation has basically been decided. Even if Congress does not amend the relevant election laws, it will not affect Zhaobei's overall strategic victory.

If before entering Beijing, Xiong Chengji only suspected that Zhao Bei was planning this veterans' march behind the scenes, then the details he learned after entering Beijing undoubtedly confirmed his previous speculation that Zhao Bei was indeed the chief planner behind this incident, and his purpose was very clear, that is, to regain control of the central power.

Therefore, Xiong Chengji is not in the mood to pay attention to the New Guinea crisis at all, his mind is now almost all on this domestic crisis, this is a political crisis, threatening the entire constitutional system, Xiong Chengji fully believes that as long as Zhao Bei regains the central power, it will almost certainly re-stage the political game, which is determined by strongman politics, not to anyone's will, Italy is a lesson from the past, and Germany is currently moving in this direction.

Xiong Chengji did not want to see China embark on this path, and he was surprised by the conclusion that he had come to after carefully studying the issue during the days of his expedition to Jidali, because this road led to war.

On the one hand, strongman politics, on the other hand, the crisis in New Guinea, both of which will drag the country into the whirlwind of war, and the most worrying of them is strongman politics, because under this system, the direction of the country's progress is completely determined by a strongman, not by the will of the people, the possibility of making a wrong choice is very great, and the possibility of making the right choice is very likely to win the war, which is only good for the strongman, and will further strengthen the dominance of the strongman, if the war is lost, the strongman may not step down, But the country and its citizens have been hurt even more. This is not what Xiong Chengji wants to see, and it is not what most constitutionalists want to see.

Therefore, sitting in the car, Xiong Chengji has been pondering this question, how to help the National League win the presidential election, he instinctively believes that if Zhao Bei really intends to return to the presidential palace through the election campaign, its biggest enemy is the National League representing the interests of the chaebol, as long as it helps the National League to win the election, then, Zhao Bei's wishful thinking will fail, theoretically, the country will continue to be in the hands of the constitutionalists.

Of course, this is only the ideal situation. Xiong Chengji will not be naïve enough to think that Zhao Bei will really "respect the law" In fact, he also thinks that Zhao Bei is likely to be ready for a military coup, but what kind of situation this military coup will break out, Xiong Chengji has no clue now.

It is precisely for this reason that when Zhang Taiyan was worried that the crisis in New Guinea would drag China into war, Xiong Chengji did not have any interest in it, and he was also opposed to discussing this topic with Zhao Bei at today's gathering.

Seeing that Xiong Chengji didn't want to talk about the New Guinea crisis, Zhang Taiyan changed his mind. Topic.

"Look, those trucks are loaded with representatives of veterans, as well as their families, they all went to Xishan to attend Zhao Zhenhua's father-in-law's birthday banquet, and now, I'm afraid that there is already a commotion."

Hearing Zhang Taiyan say this, Xiong Chengji looked at the window on the right, and sure enough, he saw several military trucks speeding by, rolling away in the dust, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of military songs. Zhao Zhenhua painstakingly planned: "Congress is far from being an opponent. This crisis is extraordinary. ”

Xiong Chengji sighed and retracted his gaze, originally he was also very sympathetic to those veterans, but when he found out that they were just tools in Zhao Bei's hands, Xiong Chengji's thoughts changed a little, and he was a little sad about his misfortune and angry that he didn't wake up, but then again. In such a situation of economic crisis, how many people can remain sane and sober?

"We all underestimated Zhao Zhenhua, this person is indeed a hero, this era may belong to the hero, we are afraid that we are people who talk on paper."

Zhang Taiyan understood the distress in Xiong Chengji's heart, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to sigh.

The car was quiet at this point, and only the roar of the engine could be heard, monotonous and boring, full of the hustle and bustle of the industrial age, which made people uneasy.

It wasn't until the sedan arrived at Xishan that the roar of the engine began to subside and the speed slowed down. and eventually stopped on the side of the road.

Xiong Chengji and Zhang Taiyan got out of the car, looked up, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, but saw that the road ahead was already full of all kinds of vehicles, traffic tombs, and some Wehrmacht soldiers with armbands were maintaining order here and assisting the police in directing traffic.

Looking out over the fields on the side of the road, hundreds of military tents were lined up neatly, and the sound of silk and bamboo drifted in the wind, and there was no doubt that this was the place where the birthday banquet was held.
