Chapter 1003: To Each His Own Mind Up

Knotted in front of the window, looking at the black crowd in front of the Capitol, Li Shihong was deeply cherished"

"In terms of prestige, there is no one in the country who can compare with Zhao Zhenhua.

This sigh carried too much helplessness and too much unwillingness, Li Yuanhong knew it very well in his heart, and Tang Shaoyi, who was standing behind him, could also hear it.

"Song Qing, this is also caused by the current situation, and it can be reversed by non-human beings. Without the Great Depression, which was spreading around the world, how could the people have pinned their hopes on a strong man? Zhao Zhenhua saw this situation back then, but we didn't see this situation, so in the end, we could only withdraw gloomily and hand over this mess to those who had the means. ”

Tang Shaoyi's words made Li Yuanhong even more emotional, he turned around, looked at Tang Shaoyi standing behind him, and asked: "Brother Shaochuan, in your opinion, if Zhao Zhenhua goes out of the mountain, can he clean up this mess now?"

"I can't say that. This economic crisis has spread to all countries in the world, and now all countries are having a hard time, perhaps, in the end, we have to rely on a new war to solve it, look at human history, whether it is ancient or modern, the best way to solve the crisis is often a foreign war, maybe, in our lifetime, we can see another world war. ”

"Brother Shaochuan, you are too pessimistic. It's best for people to be optimistic, look at me, I'm anxious now, but I'm not pessimistic, at most I won't be president, I'll not participate in politics, I'll go back to Huang Fang's hometown to be a mud leg, leisurely in the forest, isn't it happy? ”

Li Yuanhong's words were open-minded, which made Tang Shaoyi smile faintly, but Tang Shaoyi didn't dwell on this topic anymore.

If you say "optimistic" Li Yuanhong now also has capital optimism, he has been a president for more than four years, saddle up for the major consortia, there is no merit and hard work, prestige, popularity, foundation, and reputation, this should be fished enough, now the slope of the donkey, away from the political whirlpool, to the way to retreat.

"Song Qing, I see that the team below has also arrived, why don't you go out and meet them, anyway, you are also the president of the Republic of China, and the small national petition representative has arrived, if you don't go out to meet, it is indeed impossible to say that Tang Shaoyi looked out the window and suggested to Li Yuanhong.

"Okay, let's go down to meet with the national petition representatives, but I don't know, will it be Zhao Zhenhua himself who submitted the petition to me?"

Li Yuanhong smiled bitterly, straightened his coat, took the little top hat that Rao Hanxiang had presented in the past, and then walked out of the office, while Tang Shaoyi and others followed, and the group walked out of the Capitol building, stood on the top of the white marble steps, and looked down at the crowd in front of them.

The scene in front of them really surprised them, the team of more than 10,000 people stood in the open space in front of the Capitol like this, although they were emotional, but now no one was talking, and everyone's eyes were also on the white marble steps in front of the Capitol, staring at a few people standing in the middle of the steps, one of them was Zhao Bei, at this moment, he was still holding the battle flag in his hand, there were several veterans and military families standing beside him, and there were several guards with submachine guns standing a little farther away.

At this time, the wind rose, and the battle flag in Zhao Bei's hand hunted in the wind, matching the solemn atmosphere of the scene, quite a kind of heroic loneliness.

"Zhenhua, you have worked hard

Li Yuanhong walked down the steps, came to Zhao Bei, and stood on the top of the steps with him. Then stretched out his hand, a pun that seemed to be a greeting, containing many ups and downs, for so many years, Li Yuanhong has been a "cronie" by Zhao Bei's side. He used to be proud of it, too. But now he understands that after all, he is just a chess piece pinched in the hands of this "Far Eastern madman", although he is very valued, but the fate of the chess piece is ultimately decided by the person who holds the chess piece, and the chess piece itself cannot decide which step to take.

"Asking for the people's life, no matter how hard it is, it should be

Zhao Bei also stretched out his hand, shook hands with Li Yuanhong, and then handed the battle flag to Qin Sihu, the captain of the guard, and took a thick stack of letterheads from a veteran, held it with both hands, and presented it to Li Yuanhong.

"This is a petition drafted by the representatives of the people's petition, and the president is invited to accept it, read it carefully, preferably mimeographed, and distribute it to the members of Congress, so that the members of parliament can have an in-depth understanding of the hardships of the people's life and understand the anxieties in the hearts of the people, and this country, after all, is a country of all the people, whether they are rich or poor, they are all citizens of this country. They deserve to enjoy the fruits of their country's development and be proud of their progress. This petition is not because we are hostile to the government, but because we want the country to be more prosperous and the society to be more fair. This is my wish and the wish of the people, and I ask for the understanding of the President

Zhao Bei's reasoning made Li Yuanhong have nothing to say, indeed, this truth is on the side of morality, no one has a reason to refute it, and the current situation does not allow anyone to refute this truth, after all, standing behind Zhao Bei, in addition to veterans, there are also active duty soldiers, who are armed to the teeth, just now I had a secret conversation with Tang Shaoyi in the office, and Li Yuanhong has also heard of the remarks of the young Zhuang faction officers inciting the "shelling of the Congress", and he fully believes that these stunned young people can turn slogans into actions. In the past, the style of the military among the parliamentarians was similar to that of the Japanese army, and many officers believed in the prestige of the Han more than the epaulettes of their superiors, and Li Yuanhong had refuted this statement at the time, but now, he believed it, and he also believed that as long as Zhao Bei gave an order, the Reichstag would immediately become a battlefield.

"I accept this petition on behalf of the government and will respond as soon as possible. As for the petition representative entering the National Assembly to give a speech, I don't know how Zhenhua arranged it? ”

Li Yuanhong accepted the petition, handed it to an assistant standing behind him, and then asked Zhao Bei about the meeting of the National Assembly.

Of course, their eloquence may not be very good, but they can indeed represent the petitioning people, among these people, there are veterans, there are disabled soldiers, there are also military families, and the orphans of martyrs, they are enough to represent the majority of the people at the bottom, and their situation is also the situation of most people at the bottom of society.

Zhao Bei pulled the veterans and military families around him to his side and pointed to it, this move made Li Yuanhong and Tang Shaoyi feel at ease, they had been worried that Zhao Bei would break into the Congress with hundreds or even thousands of petitioners, and force the Congress to accept their coercion in a troublesome way, but now, they are somewhat relieved, it seems that Zhao Bei does not plan to make a big fuss about the Congress, maybe he has a more clever way.

Sure enough, Zhao Bei's next words proved that Li Yuanhong and Tang Shaoyi's guesses were correct, and he did leave a back move.

"Since the Capitol is limited and cannot accommodate too many petitioners, I will only bring these few petitioners into the Capitol, but at the same time, in order to convince the petitioners that the Congress is fair and will make decisions for them, I would like to connect a few electric speakers outside the Capitol and connect the microphones to the conference hall with wires. I would like to transmit the voices from the chamber to the front of the National Assembly building in real time, so that all petitioners can hear the debates and speeches of the Diet as soon as possible, and I would like the radio station to simultaneously broadcast the debates and speeches of the Diet so that more people can understand the development of the situation. This is my suggestion, I wonder if the president agrees? "Can you disagree? Dare to disagree? As long as Li Yuanhong dares to say half. The word "no" will pounce on the more than 10,000 excited "petitioning citizens" in front of the Capitol and drag him down the steps, although they may not beat President Li to death in front of Commander-in-Chief Zhao, but at least they will make President Li unable to step down, or even get out of the country ahead of schedule.

"Zhenhua's suggestion is very practical and reasonable, and I completely agree."

Li Yuanhong nodded and smiled. Being able to throw this hot potato to the broad members of the Congress, Li Yuanhong is naturally happy to stand in the foreground, the sky is falling and there is a tall man on top, Zhao Bei does not have a top of the Congress, and he, the president of the Republic of China, pretends to be a clay sculpture.

At the same time, several military trucks drove to the radio stations, preparing to broadcast the debates and speeches of the Congress through radio signals to all parts of the country, so that as long as there was a radio, the voices of the highest organs of public opinion and the highest legislative organs of the country could be heard as soon as possible.

Seeing that the president of the Republic of China bowed his head in front of the power of the people, the more than 10,000 petitioners gathered in front of the Capitol suddenly burst into jubilation, slogans were sounded, and military songs were loud, and for a while, the front of the Capitol was boiling, and even the soldiers of the National Defense Force and the Ministry of the Interior guarding the Capitol were infected by this emotion and cheered with the crowd.

"People's hearts are back, at a glance."

Looking at the jubilant crowd, Li Yuanhong sighed in his heart, glad that he had made a wise choice, otherwise, he was afraid that he would become a public enemy of the whole people. It's hard to say whether he will survive until he leaves office.

Unlike Li Yuanhong's composure, Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi seemed a little nervous, and he suddenly discovered that Zhao Bei's attack was not a small pre-war fire reconnaissance, but a battle, and he had now vaguely guessed who this battle was going to solve, and he was uneasy about it.

Tang Shaoyi glanced at Rao Hanxiang and found that the other party was as stunned as Li Yuanhong, and he didn't know if he was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, anyway, he was indifferent to Zhao Bei's national synchronous broadcasting plan.

"That's it, that's it. Zhao Zhenhua can play as much as he wants, I don't want to care about it anyway, this country is sick and needs someone to prescribe a prescription. However, the group of big-headed congressmen in the Congress have absolutely no ability to prescribe this prescription, it depends on the prescription prescribed by Zhao Zhenhua. ”

Thinking of this, Tang Shaoyi's mentality also calmed down, so he pretended to be confused, and for a while, the president and prime minister of the Republic of China government pretended to be confused at the same time, which was quite interesting.

Since the two of them are pretending to be confused. Then, Zhao Bei put away the backup plan, continued his peace performance, and then with a smile on his face, he followed the President of the Republic of China and the Prime Minister of the Republic of China into the Capitol, with firm and steady steps, wise and cunning eyes.
