However, Chen Wenqiang's statement disappointed him, and it was still the same rhetoric as before, respecting and disobeying, and the differences in revolutionary strategies could not be bridged, at least not in a short period of time. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info alliance can, but the union can't, the general principle is to connect but not to combine.

"Beichen will be China's Washington, Lincoln, Mr. Song and you will be China's Benjamin? Franklin or Thomas? Jefferson, isn't that bad? Charlie Song sighed, "The same republican ideals, the same to overthrow the Manchus, the same passionate warriors who regard death as home, is it not possible to unite and work together?" ”

"It's not that there is no such possibility, but judging from the current situation, it is not suitable to talk about this issue in a short period of time." Chen Wenqiang patiently explained: "Moreover, it is also hasty to assert who is Washington, Lincoln, Franklin, or who will be Napoleon." ”

"At the end of the day, it's a matter of competition." Charlie Song looked at Chen Wenqiang aggressively, "The Revival Society is strong, so I think that I can complete the revolution alone, and I don't need the help of others, or I want to exclude dissidents and want to be self-respecting." ”

"I'm the only one who said this, it seems that Brother Charlie has lost his cool." Chen Wenqiang shook his head lightly and said: "There is no doubt that the Revival Society wants to occupy the leading position of the revolution; As for the alliance, it is obvious that they want to compete for their strengths and weaknesses. Under the current situation, the Revival Society does not want to be mixed with other forces and ideas. We are fighting a war, and if we want to achieve victory, we rely on sincere unity and unity of thought.

"It is precisely because of the war that the revolutionary parties should unite and echo each other." Charlie Song softened his tone and said: "Isn't the uprising of the League a containment of the Qing army, and isn't it a dispersion of the pressure faced by the revolutionary army? ”

"There is an echo. But it didn't work much. Chen Wenqiang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Qinu Lake, Huanggang, the time lasted too short, and there were almost no Qing troops mobilized. ”

"In terms of strength, the alliance will certainly not be as strong as the revival." Charlie Song frowned. "If there were enough money, it wouldn't be like this," he said. ”

"The funds are not abundant for the Renaissance Society, and the consumption of the war has made us do our best, and we can't come up with excess to support the Alliance." Chen Wenqiang smiled bitterly and said: "Moreover, the alliance will launch a party, but it is just spent money to buy it, which is really a little unreliable. ”

"As for the members of the League, they are all revolutionary aspirants who do not care for the country. There's a lot of one that you've already fought for, right? Charlie Song pursed his lips and said, "What is this, digging into the corner?" ”

"Since they are revolutionary aspirants and they are willing to devote themselves to the revolution, how can they distinguish between the Revival Society and the Alliance?" Chen Wenqiang quibbled: "We didn't force them, is the alliance only allowed to enter and not leave, or do they lose their personal freedom when they join the alliance?" ”

"Qubble." Charlie Song rolled her eyes a little weakly and paused. "In any case, I still hope that the senior management of both sides can contact and communicate. Let's see if there is any possibility of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Although the Alliance is not as strong as the Renaissance Society, I believe there are many things that can help the Renaissance Society. ”

"Of course you can." Chen Wenqiang smiled and nodded, "And our Revival Association has never closed the door, in Nanyang, in Japan, it is easy to get in touch!" ”

"High-level. At your level. Charlie Song stared at Chen Wenqiang and said with a smile: "I can contact in the middle and facilitate this matter." ”

"I'm just a pawn." After Chen Wenqiang finished speaking, he saw that Charlie Song was still staring at him, and laughed. Said: "Okay, I can come forward to negotiate, but I have to designate people in the alliance, such as-" He thought for a moment and clapped his hands lightly, "Huang Xing, I am willing to meet with him." ”

"Okay, I'll get in touch." Charlie Song breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively, "How long can you stay in Shanghai, and you won't suddenly run away to another place, right?" ”

"There's a telegram, it's easy to find me." Chen Wenqiang smiled, "As long as you get in touch, I will set the time and place, anyway, it can't be in Shanghai." ”

"That-" Charlie Song pointed to the book on the table, and said suspiciously, "Is this "National Road" made by your revival society to achieve some purpose? ”

The title of "National Road" seems to be a fantasy novel describing utopia, but in fact, it is a theoretical book that covers most of the characteristics of a democratic country, including the constitution, constitutionalism, and legal provisions, and it is indeed the crystallization of the collective wisdom written by many talents in the Revival Society.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, most Chinese thinkers have lacked a systematic understanding of these issues, and have only stayed at a superficial stage, and for revolutionaries, it is even more common to do it first and then talk about it.

Constitutional governments in the world, whether it is Britain, France, the United States, or the Soviet Union, have promulgated a fundamental law to recognize it after the revolution has succeeded and established democratic facts, which is the constitution.

Chen Wenqiang has always wanted to do the opposite, first of all, to paint the image of a constitutional state in front of the world, and pointed out the specific plan for establishing a constitutional state. The policies to be adopted by this constitutional state for all strata of society will be enumerated in the form of laws: the Commercial Law for merchants, the Labor Law for workers, the Land Law for peasants, the Military Service Law for soldiers, and the Education Law for students.........

Of course, this is quite a huge undertaking, and it did take two years of preparation to be roughly completed. As for all perfection, it will take longer.

But it is necessary, because the elites of the Renaissance Society believe that the tragic cycle of modern Chinese society and its changes must be avoided, that is, what has changed is the dynasty, the name of the regime, the skin of society, and the darkness, oppression, corruption, and injustice of society that have not changed. On the other hand, this book will henceforth establish the guiding position of the Revival Society in the revolution, or at least the revolutionary designer or the most authoritative revolutionary theory.

Of course, anyone can draft a constitution, but it can only become a constitution if those concerned with the government are likely to abide by it; If they don't obey it, then it's not a law. The purpose of the renaissance is to present a framework of a constitutional state that is relevant to China's reality and operational, and its propaganda, guidance, and normative significance are enormous.

Moreover, the constitution and those laws and regulations drafted by this collective wisdom are not copied and copied, but refer to the laws of Britain, the United States and other countries. It also combines some Chinese realities, although it is still far from enough, and it still needs to be perfected for a long time. But what is this, you must know that from the birth of the US Constitution to 1971, there have been 26 constitutional amendments. It can also be said that it has been revised twenty-six times! It would be unrealistic to say that it was in place all at once.

What's more, this "National Road" is to let more Chinese people understand the general situation of a real constitutional state and understand the impact on themselves after the establishment of a constitutional state. No matter how good the legal provisions are, they will eventually fall into implementation, and it is empty talk if there is no clean government for the people.

"Good is good, Brother Charlie, don't speculate maliciously." Chen Wenqiang did not answer Charlie Song's question head-on, but diverted the topic.

"I visited Mr. Yung in the United States. He donated a sum of money to the League, and promised to help Beichen establish relations with large American conglomerates. Charlie Song said slowly: "However, Mr. Rong has a deep affection for Kang and Liang, and it is naturally difficult for a figure like him, who is neither completely opposed to the two factions, nor exactly the same, to the extreme after the open split between the revolutionaries and the royalists. ”

"Mr. Rong, he's old. I want to change my thinking pattern, and it's a little late. Chen Wenqiang groaned. smiled and said: "Brother Charlie, do you think that in the United States, we have no contact and no development?" ”

"I know your revival is going strong." Charlie Song smiled slightly and said, "But you don't know that Mr. Rong has a grand plan, and if it succeeds, there is no doubt about the victory of the revolution." ”

Rong Hong is a well-known educator, diplomat and social activist in modern China. He is also the first Chinese student to graduate from Yale University in the United States, and is a pioneer in the cause of Chinese students, known as the "father of Chinese students".

In the Westernization Movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he facilitated and managed two major events: the construction of the first complete machine factory in modern China - Shanghai Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau; The first batch of government-funded children to study in the United States were organized.

After the failure of the Restoration, Rong Hong ventured out of Beijing. Retired to the Shanghai Concession. Later, due to the failure of Tang Changcai's self-reliance army, Rong Hong took refuge in the United States. During his stay in the United States, Yung Wing was still active, contacting Homer Lee, an American military expert, and Booth, an important figure in the financial circles, to plan to raise funds, train armed forces, and support the Chinese revolution.

Ten million dollars, 100,000 guns and 100 million rounds of ammunition to launch a massive armed uprising in the Guangdong region of China to overthrow the Qing Dynasty government. This is the approximate idea of the so-called Chinese Red Dragon Plan. It sounds exciting, but Chen Wenqiang feels a bit fantastical.

Why should the American consortium support the Chinese revolution for the sake of profit, and it is not for the sake of profit, and it is not good if the benefit is not rich. If it is only economic interests, it can be seriously considered and bargained, but when it comes to other things, such as the rights and interests of the state.

Homer, hehe, really has the style of Homer's epic, and the military plan is too romantic. 100,000 guns, 100 million rounds of ammunition, 10 million dollars in funding...... My goodness, let me spit blood first, if you have this strength, what plan do you need? Chen Wenqiang sneered to himself, and listened patiently to Charlie Song's narration. Slowly, his expression became solemn, as he heard something of interest.

Homer? Born in 1876, he was born hunchbacked, weighing less than 45 kilograms and standing only 1.5 meters tall. Although congenitally deficient, Lee Homer aspired to be a military giant from an early age. He read military classics and knew all the famous battles in history. He signed up for the army several times, wanting to realize his dream of being a general on the battlefield, but was rejected by the military.

After several encounters, he turned his attention to China and decided to go there to realize his dream. In 1900, he went to China to support Kang Liang's royalist activities and was appointed "Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Restoration Army". In Shanxi, he organized a "royalist volunteer army" and prepared to march to Beijing, but was wanted by the Qing government for his defeat.

Refusing to admit defeat, he gathered the remnants of the troops together and continued their march to Beijing after a short period of intensive training. When she arrived in Beijing, she was just in time for the Eight-Nation Alliance to invade Beijing, and Cixi fled. Li Homer led his troops in pursuit to save Guangxu, but his rabble was quickly routed by the Qing army, and he fled to Hong Kong alone, and then returned to the United States.

After returning to the United States, Homer? He undertook a new mission: to train officers for the Loyalists. With the help of General Cha Fei, he hired a former U.S. military officer, Ao Bailang, to help him and formed the Western Military Academy to train anti-Qing Chinese American youth, which has now become the headquarters of the Chinese Royalist Army. In 1905, when Kang Youwei visited the United States, Homer? He accompanied him to a meeting with President Roosevelt, and in June of the same year, the Los Angeles Times reported on Homer? Li accompanied Kang Youwei, who was visiting New York, to inspect the situation of the royalist army.

Is it possible to do the work of Tunhome, send some of the Renaissance members to the academy, develop in the Royalist Army, and let some of the Chinese change their minds and join the revolution?

Chen Wenqiang touched his chin and thought about it, and the sudden appearance of the content in Charlie Song's narration surprised Chen Wenqiang even more, and his eyes widened in shock.

Although Homer? "The Courage of Ignorance" is only a first draft, but the point is clear: Japan is a deliberate aggressor, and the United States is the most vulnerable enemy, "Our courage comes from incompetence and unwillingness to admit our weaknesses." The book will also speculate on the route of Japan's attack on the United States: "America's maritime defense forces should be destroyed first...... Japan must have occupied the Philippines...... The next target was Hawaii's ......", while also making some maps of the Japanese offensive routes.

Most people who read this book will think that it is purely alarmist, but Chen Wenqiang knows that the Japanese offensive line drawn in the book is very similar to that of World War II, which cannot but shock him.

A thin, hunchbacked, pale guy, Chen Wenqiang was a little awe-inspired. Of course, this book would have been seen as a dream, but that was their ignorance. Homer gave Chen the impression that he was shouldering the burden of the entire European continent and had the genius to foresee Japan's war against the United States. And the US Army and Navy servicemen, for sure, do not take the time to think about his views and theories, which is the sadness of the Americans.

What would it be like for an opportunistic time-traveler, a visionary, accurate predictor of the two world wars, and a freak whose talent was not to be accommodated in his time? Two crazy people, I guess that's what the world thinks is like this.
