XXXIV. Prepare to go north

At the beginning of May 1923, a thunderclap from Guangzhou shook the long-dull ancient country, and Sun Yat-sen announced that Guangdong Province had entered a period of training for 16 years, after which the governors, county mayors and parliamentarians of Guangdong would all be elected by the people! During the training period, all village and town mayors in Guangdong will be elected by the people. What won even more applause was that Guangdong Province will implement free six-year compulsory education from 1924, so school-age children can get six years of free compulsory education, and this plan will cost 10 million oceans a year!

Although Sun Yat-sen's so-called political discipline has been criticized a lot, the announcement of comprehensive free and compulsory education has really left his political opponents with nowhere to speak. In the early years of the Republic of China, the status of intellectuals was very high, and the policy of universal education won the praise of most intellectuals for a time, so the newspapers were also full of praise, and the "discipline and government" that lasted for 16 years and looked like reading talents was ignored by most people, anyway, the so-called "Ming Cooking" of the Republic of China was actually not like this at all, the regime was obviously made of a gun, and there were a few boring guys who wanted to put on the coat of Ming Cooking, but the red-bearded Fengzhang seemed more honest, Dafang's admission is to read talents.

The Central Committee of the GCD, an ally of the Kuomintang, had just moved back to Shanghai from Yanjing, and the leaders of the GCD had just settled down in Shanghai when they read the information on the Guangdong government in the newspapers. To this end, Chen Duxiu immediately convened an enlarged meeting of the Politburo to discuss the new trends of the Kuomintang and how the cooperation between the two parties should be adjusted.

Chen Duxiu was extremely dissatisfied with Sun Yat-sen's sudden announcement of training in Guangzhou, and such a big thing was suddenly launched without saying hello to the GCD side! At this time, his two thick eyebrows were tightly twisted into a Sichuan character, and he said: "Comrades, this unilateral move of the Kuomintang has undermined the foundation of cooperation between the two parties and has also suppressed the development space of our party, and we must reconsider the way of cooperation between the two parties." Chen Duxiu, who had been persuaded in the Soviet Union to agree to intra-party cooperation with the Kuomintang, began to waver again at this time.

"Hmph, the Kuomintang regards Guangdong as its own territory, and we are not allowed to get involved." Mao Zd, who had a thick Hunan accent, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and began to speak: "Comrades, our party is still too weak, so the Kuomintang bullies us and doesn't take us seriously, but we still have to cooperate with them, and the so-called discipline of the Kuomintang at this stage will definitely not have any good results.

The problem of our party is that there is no military force, so why can Sun Yat-sen announce the discipline in Guangdong? Didn't he have the 11th Guangdong Army, the 1st Gui Army and the 2nd Yunnan Army in his hands? With these funds, Wu Peifu also had to share Hunan with him equally, and Duan Qirui had no choice but to accommodate the Kuomintang on the Fujian issue, and even Feng Zhang said in the past two days that he would learn from Sun Yat-sen to conduct political training in the three eastern provinces.

Comrades, so we should now seize the opportunity of cooperating with the Kuomintang to develop our own military strength, and only by perfecting our own military strength can we be able to restrain the Kuomintang from ruling by reading and learning. I think that Sun Yat-sen's handing over the northwest military plan to the two parties is an opportunity for our party. ”

The Northwest Military Plan and the Northwest Military and Political Commission were officially notified to the GCD by the Kuomintang. For Sun Yat-sen's nomination of Mao ZD as chairman of the Northwest Military and Political Committee, GCD was a little confused, Chen Duxiu really couldn't figure out what Sun Yat-sen had taken in this Mao ZD with a thick Hunan accent?

"But will the Soviet Union agree to return Outer Mongolia now? Now Outer Mongolia is already a socialist republic. "Zhang Guotao's speech was faintly filled with dissatisfaction with the Soviet Union." If there is no Outer Mongolia, this Northwest Military and Political Commission is not empty? ”

"It doesn't matter." Mao ZD waved his hand confidently and said, "Even if they give me a short, I can make the short." Moreover, under such circumstances, the Soviet Union will not openly reject Sun Yat-sen's proposal, and the most likely thing is to agree to it, and then drag it out. ”

Chen Duxiu thought of Outer Mongolia's two thick eyebrows, and twisted into a question mark. "Alas, this problem is now kicked to us by the Kuomintang, and the Soviet Union is holding Outer Mongolia and not paying it back, which is really saying one thing and doing another."

After listening to Chen Duxiu's words, there was silence in the venue, and no one knew what to say.

The Soviet Union agreed in principle to the GCD's proposal to take over Outer Mongolia, but refused to allow any foreign [***] team to pass through the territory of the Soviet Union, which means that the GCD army must fight from the south to Outer Mongolia before the Soviet Union can be handed over.

"Too much deception!" The office building of the General Staff Headquarters of the Generalissimo in Guangzhou is now filled with the shouting and scolding of the Ningbo accent. "Mother! Are these big noses all fools when we Chinese? Auxiliary text, we won't go to the Soviet Union this time, I, Jiang, just don't believe it, without the Soviet Union, we can't beat Wu Peifu! ”

Luo Yaoguo was not the slightest surprised when he heard this news, he had long been fully aware of the shamelessness of the Soviet Union. "Why should Jiegong be angry about this? The more fully the Soviets' faces are exposed, the more they can wake up those who still have illusions about the Soviet Union, but we have broken off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union now, and they still occupy Outer Mongolia and will not return it, so it is better to suppress the anger for the time being, we still need the help of the Soviet Union now, after all, our enemies are not only Wu Peifu, but also Yue Ben and the Soviet Union! ”

"Hmph, you hypocrites! By the way, Fuwen, how are you preparing for going north? "Chiang Kai-shek is angry and angry, the Soviet Union is always going to go, and it is not Chiang's habit to take advantage of it.

"Almost, Lu Ming has arrived from Fuzhou, and he is responsible for the specific issues of negotiating with the Soviet Union to help build a steel plant. On the GCD side, Zhang Tailei is accompanied, and the two comrades of Shuyan and Zongshan are also ready, and I want Jiaoli to accompany us to the north together. Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo's face turned slightly red. Chiang Kai-shek did not take Chen Jieru to the north, and only Luo Yaoguo went to the Soviet Union with a woman this time.

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and said: "You also tell me about this kind of trivial matter, you have decided." On the 19th of this month we will be sailing to Vladivostok, and Marin of the Comintern will board a ship in Shanghai to accompany us on our visit, and we will probably be able to return from the Soviet Union by the end of August. ”

The operations department of the General Staff has been relatively quiet lately, because there is nothing to be done. After Luo Yaoguo left Chiang Kai-shek's office, he slipped up the bay in the garden of the Generalissimo's Palace, and by the way, he thought about his behavior in the past year, and reflected on what unforgivable sins his big butterfly had committed.

"Is it General Fuwen?" A tactful and pleasant voice called Luo Yaoguo from behind.

"Sister Liyan, do you have anything to do with me?" Luo Yaoguo recognized the person as Yang Liyan, who was a world friend of Luo Yaoguo, and was now the secretary of the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang, and often went back and forth to the Generalissimo's Mansion.

This tall and beautiful-looking woman smiled at Luo Yaoguo and asked, "General Fuwen, who was Chief of Staff Jiang scolding just now?" Isn't it scolding the USSR? ”

Luo Yaoguo shook his head with a smile and said, "Sister Liyan is fine, right?" Why don't you accompany my little brother for a walk, and by the way, tell me about the Central Party Department, I heard that there are a lot of [***] people in the Central Party Department now? That's how they all view the statements of the USSR? ”

Yang Liyan sighed softly as she walked: "The comrades of the two parties have quarreled in the central party headquarters for this matter all morning, and the cooperation between the two parties, which has finally been on the track, seems to be about to blow up again, do you think our party will part ways with GCD because of this matter?" ”

"The Soviets are indeed hypocritical and disgusting." Luo Yaoguo did not have a good impression of the Soviet Union. "But I am also extremely dangerous, and now my country is facing two tigers and wolves, so I have to unite one first, and that's just the way it is."

"How so? But those GCD people are very good. Liyan's expression was a little gloomy, she knew that Luo Yaoguo was now a celebrity in front of Sun Yat-sen, and even he had this attitude, I was afraid that she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Sister Liyan is talking about Qu Ming, right? The golden boy and girl of the Central Party Department, why didn't Secretary Qu come with him today? "Luo Yaoguo also knows some GCD people, including this Qu Ming, who came back from the Soviet Union, I don't know if it's his real name. Qu Ming is very heroic and martial, and he is also very good at pleasing girls, as if he is closer to Yang Liyan in front of him.

"Comrade Qu Ming and his sister Qu Ying came to the Generalissimo's Mansion together, and now the prime minister is still receiving both of them, their brother and sister have been to the Soviet Union and are fluent in Russian, and this time I will act as an interpreter and go with you." Thinking of being separated from her sweetheart for several months, Yang Liyan was always a little depressed.

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "What, does Sister Liyan also want to go to the Soviet Union?" I can help. Luo Yaoguo guessed that Yang Liyan came to talk to him today, probably to see if she could have a chance to get a place to go to the Soviet Union. There are a large number of people in the Central Party Department who want to go to the Soviet Union, and the attachΓ© quota is full, and there are not many personnel here in the General Staff, so it seems that it is possible to get a quota.

"Really?" Yang Liyan shouted excitedly. "Fuwen, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"What did Sister Liyan say, how could I, Luo Yaoguo, lie to you? You're our big sister. "From his own memory, I found some scenes of playing with the three sisters and brothers of the Yang family when I was a child, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help but smile happily, now this beautiful memory belongs to me, and it feels good to have two good childhoods alone." By the way, what are Lijie and Lijing doing now? Lijie should have graduated from college too, right? ”

"Well, Lijie graduated this year, he studied mathematics and it is not easy to find a job, who wants a mathematician now? Lijing is all playful, and he doesn't do his job all day long, and the old man is annoyed to death. Speaking of the two younger brothers as sisters, he frowned.

Luo Yaoguo suddenly thought of something, he said: "Our Kuomintang is about to set up a military academy, let the two of them apply for the exam, Lijie is a mathematics student, there is no problem in taking the artillery exam, Lijing is so clever and I think it is quite suitable to be a reconnaissance company commander." As for the safety of the two of them, don't worry too much about you, as a sister, I guess the Northern Expedition won't be too difficult to fight in the future. "Now the progress of the Kuomintang is better than that of another time and space, if the direct line collapses and grabs the territory, those panicked direct minions are not expected to die to the end.
