Hu Hanmin woke up from his stupor. He's dying. Although his consciousness is still clear, his whole body is no longer able to move. He knew that he had a stroke, just like Sun Yat-sen seven years ago and Tan Yanmin five years ago, this is a terminal illness, and there is no "medicine" to save it! It's funny to say that he, the president of the Republic of China and the commander-in-chief of the world's second largest army, actually suffered a stroke because of a game of damn Chinese chess! Isn't it just losing a game of chess...... That Luo Yiqun still looked happy after losing ten games in a row before, why was he so persistent?

He was on his couch now, confused for a moment and clear for a while. In this life, it's time for the curtain call. In this life, it should be said that I am satisfied, and I can report to the former Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen with peace of mind. His ideals of following Sun Yat-sen to participate in the Pai Manchu Revolution have now been overfulfilled, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and then although it has gone through more than ten years of war and chaos, but fortunately, it has finally unified China and established the Kuomintang training and government system, and now it has gradually embarked on the road of democratic constitutionalism. And in his hands, China has leapt from a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country to a powerful imperialist country! In this regard, although the GCD people in the six northern provinces are heartbroken, they are shouting all day long about not being a hegemon and not being a superpower! He also said that the Kuomintang now wants to turn China into imperialism, which is against Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideas! Well, when I get to the top later, I will ask the first prime minister, is it good to be a hegemon and an imperialist? This matter should be done according to your own will, if you can ensure that you can win the battle, and you can also open up territory. There is nothing wrong with being an imperialist! But is this world war that easy to fight? If you still have anything to worry about, this should be the one.

He struggled to open his eyes on the pillow, and saw Luo Yiqun sitting on a chair looking at himself in a daze, completely at a loss...... Can this guy be president? Standing beside Luo Yiqun were Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo, and Xu Chongzhi was not in Wuhan, so there was no way to arrive at the first time. Chiang Kai-shek looked depressed and sighed there. Also, as soon as he died, Luo Yiqun succeeded him as the president of the Republic of China. Indiscriminate good people are not the material to be president, and most of the power falls into the hands of his old "treacherous" and cunning nephew Luo Yaoguo. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek has no chance to monopolize power in his life! And that Luo Yaoguo didn't even tear his face with Chiang Kai-shek, so he played magic like this! This old Jiang really lost a little unjustly. When he set his eyes on Luo Yaoguo, the other party had already seen him wake up, and the look of joy in his eyes flashed: "President, are you awake?" Dr. Bazel from the General Hospital is right next door, how do you feel? I'll ask him to come and diagnose you right away! ”

Hu Hanmin saw a bit of sincerity from the other party's look. This is Luo Yaoguo...... A scheming promiscious good person! However, Hu Hanmin knew that he was hopeless, and his current sobriety should be the so-called return to light, right? He smiled bitterly and shook his head on the pillow: "No need, the first prime minister is still waiting for me in the sky!" At this time, let's "hand" over the aftermath...... Brother Yichen. ”

"President, don't say such things, your body is still strong, as long as you recuperate......" Luo Yiqun didn't know what to say at this time. Truth be told, he doesn't want to be president. Because this president is nothing more than a puppet of his own nephew. And his nephew is trying to bring the country down the road to world war!

"Brother Yichen." Hu Hanmin interrupted Luo Yiqun, tried to raise his voice a little, and said: "From now on, you will begin to perform the duties of the president of the Republic of China!" And it will be a wartime president. ”

Hu Hanmin really has a stomach full of things to say to Luo Yiqun. He wanted to tell his successor that although he had been on the presidential throne for two years, and had been the chairman of the National Government for almost ten years, he had never held real power. Because neither the National Revolutionary Army nor the National Defense Army is a real national army, although they have established the form and system of the national army, Hu Hanmin still knows it. The warlord system has not really been eliminated, it has only been hidden better and deeper! From a bunch of big warlords supporting the army, it became the cooperation of Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek to maintain the situation...... In the future, it may become the oligarchy rule of Luo Yaoguo, a big warlord, right?

In the current situation, if the country's leaders act according to the will of the military and strive to maintain a balance between the military and the government, the form of nationalization can be maintained. After a few decades, when military strongmen like Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo passed away. The army may be able to be truly controlled by the government! It is only then that China can become a true democracy.

And now the nationalization of the army is just the coat that the army has in the country. But it is still a huge step forward, just like the current road to "democratic constitutionalism...... Like Luo Yaoguo, he wants to disguise himself as the chief of staff of a country's army, instead of tearing his face and openly exercising dictatorship. It can only show that he still knows that dictatorship is wrong. Democratic constitutionalism is the trend of the times. The army is under his control, and perhaps nationalization is only a matter of time. Not like that Chiang Kai-shek. It is said that the dictatorship of the Kuomintang will be implemented, that the Kuomintang should lead everything, and that the army will always listen to the Kuomintang...... If he is allowed to master the army, I am afraid it will be a Jiang dynasty! And the real reason why I chose to cooperate with Luo Yaoguo is also this!

But now he is about to let go, and the position of president has fallen into the hands of Luo Yiqun, this honest man is actually his nephew's puppet, which means that Luo Yaoguo will control the army and politics at the same time, and hold all the power in his hands! Become a real dictatorial ruler with absolute power! Under the "temptation", "confusion" and corrosion of absolute power, can Luo Yaoguo still hold on to his true heart? Perhaps only a firm idealist like GCD people can truly use power for the people and benefit the people without external supervision in their hands on all power, right? At this time, it would be nice if Zhou Elai and Deng Yanda also sat in this room. may be able to let the GCD people and the Revolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang contain Luo Yaoguo. A three-legged situation is formed......

But now it's too late, even according to the Constitution of the Republic of China, he is now unable to fulfill his presidential duties...... Luo Yiqun's succession as president is completely stipulated by the Constitution, and there is no need for his own "holy decree" at all. A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled reluctantly at Luo Yiqun: "Brother Yichen, this country will be 'handed over' to you, do it well, don't live up to the expectations of the people and the spirit of the former prime minister in the sky." ”

Luo Yiqun's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up and nodded. Said: "President, now your body and bones are important, you must get better, and lead us to win this national war, regain lost territory, and open up territory......"

Hu Hanmin's mind is very clear now, and he smiled faintly: "Yichen, I'm not going to make it!" And even if I'm not sick. I can't be a good wartime president, that's not what I can do. He sighed: "Fuwen, Kai-shek, both of you are more capable than me, more 'smart' than me, and more ambitious than me...... We don't have anything to do with our peers. There is only one point, we must be united! Both internally and externally. The two of you must be united! Don't make a fuss about what happened last time. In the current situation, as long as you unite, our country will be counted as rising, and any enemy can be defeated! ”

After saying this, Hu Hanmin sighed softly, closed his eyes and fell asleep......

May 12, 1936. Hu Hanmin, President of the Republic of China, died of cerebral hemorrhage in Wuhan. On the same day, Vice President Luo Yiqun was sworn in as president. History has finally come to a new era, and with the inauguration of Luo Yiqun as president, people of insight in China have clearly understood the era of Luo Yaoguo. An era of iron and blood has begun!

……

"Comrade Xiang Ying, how is the training of the newly formed troops? The Kuomintang is already sharpening its knives there, and now Hu Hanmin is ...... At this time, there is no power that can restrain Luo Yaoguo. ”

Zhou Elai stood in the Northern Headquarters of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission in Kulun City, and asked Xiang Ying's words calmly with a face. The situation is now mixed. What worries me is that the Kuomintang reactionaries are sharpening their big knives under the noses of Zhongg, as if they are about to cut over. The good news is that the Soviet Union and GC International have also increased military assistance to China and G, not only giving weapons and equipment to ten more divisions. And all the drawings and samples of such advanced fighters as the I-15 and I-16 were given to the Zhongg! It's all a look of full support.

Regarding Hu Hanmin's death, Zhou Elai was not so worried as he appeared to be. Although the supreme power of the Kuomintang seems to have achieved a smooth transition, Luo Yiqun holds the presidency, Luo Yaoguo controls the army, and a vote of Cantonese elders is added. suppressed Lao Jiang to death. But Zhou Elai is very clear, under the surface calm. It must be an undercurrent, Luo Yaoguo may be able to control the situation in the end, but that is a matter for the future, and now he still has no more strength, trying his best to subdue Chiang Kai-shek, a careerist who is unwilling to submit to others. Therefore, in the future, the Chinese G can breathe a sigh of relief, and the Kuomintang and Luo Yaoguo do not have the "fine" strength to deal with them, who are in six provinces and have 500,000 troops.

Xiang Ying was not as calm as him, and when the news of Hu Hanmin's critical illness just came, he was very excited, stretching his neck in the hope that the Kuomintang would kill each other. As a result, less than two days later, the news came that Luo Yiqun was inaugurated as president. So Xiang Ying began to frown all day long, looking like a catastrophe was about to come. Day and night in the war room of the Kulen headquarters of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the same group of staff officers and Soviet advisers were busy formulating various battle plans, and they were always worried about the so-called surprise attack. The heavy work and the pressure of the "spirit" made the chairman of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission a little breathless, and within a few days, his eyes were dark and his face was pale.

He glanced at Zhou Elai, and suddenly he was a little envious of his graceful bearing. But he just smiled faintly, picked up a form and handed it to Zhou Elai, and made a brief report.

"The formation of the new units of the border guards has been completed, mainly to upgrade and expand the local armed forces in the six provinces, and a total of 10 divisions have been obtained, each of which has more than 7,000 people. The cadres are mainly selected from the old units and the volunteer army, and they are all experienced comrades, and I believe that they will soon be able to bring the troops out. The weapons and equipment will be replenished after the arrival of Soviet reinforcements, and ten light infantry divisions will be equipped according to the standards of the Soviet Red Army, which is comparable to the regular troops of the Soviet Red Army. It's just that there are some heavy artillery missing, and the others are about the same, which should be good.

When these ten divisions are formed, our border guards will have thirty divisions, and the Volunteer Army will have ten more divisions, a total of forty divisions! Moreover, most of the troops have participated in the Far East round war, and have mastered the fighting methods and know-how of modern warfare, which is much better than the millions of recruits of the Kuomintang! ”

Zhou Elai couldn't be clearer about the pounds and pounds of the army in Zhong G's hands, and comforted Xiang Ying. He just nodded noncommittally and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiang Ying, tell me, now that the Kuomintang has died in the boss, should I, the leader of the GCD, go to the funeral?" After all, the two parties have not yet started fighting, so it seems unreasonable for us to ignore them, right? ”

Xiang Ying waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "Then I can't let you go, send a telegram." Just write a deputy couplet and send a representative to send it. I think otherwise, let Comrade 'Mao' ZD go on your behalf. He is from Hunan, and he can still go back to his hometown after going to Hubei, what do you think? ”

Zhou Elai glanced at Xiang Ying, Xiang Ying had something to say, and he naturally understood it. He shook his head and said, "The Kuomintang will not move me." Likewise, I won't move the "hair" zd. And I still know Luo Yaoguo's thoughts. The Northern Front is there to sharpen its knives, and Huo Huo is just listening to the sound for us, and it will not really be cut down. He still wants to cooperate with us, so I have to go to Wuhan once, because there are some cooperation projects that can only be discussed with him face-to-face, and there is no way for others to replace me. ”

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the "door" of the war room, and "Mao" ZD walked in with a telegram in his hand, and saw Zhou Elai and Xiang Ying. laughed loudly: "Come, Xiang Ying, report a good news to everyone, the Kuomintang is going to give Hu Hanmin a beautiful funeral in late May." We are also invited to send representatives to attend, I think this is a rare opportunity. ”

Zhou Elai took the telegram, glanced at it, and nodded: "That's right." It was our delegates who were invited. I'm worried that there is no reason to go to Wuhan to meet Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek, now it's good. I can sit down with both of them and have a good talk, maybe we can ease the tensions...... Runzhi, what conditions do you think we should put forward, and what benefits can we come up with? ”

"Mao" ZD found a chair and sat down. The big hand waved very imposingly: "What conditions depend on who you talk to and what you do!" Now Wuhan is the world of the Luo family's uncles and nephews. If you talk to them, then you can only use the "door" to let them copy the back road of the Soviet Far Eastern Front! What's in it...... At most, let's expand our territory to the north, maybe to the Arctic Ocean. But in that case, our revolution will be difficult, is this what we GCD people want? He took out a cigarette, lit the fire and slowly 'smoked' for a while, and then said: "If you negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek, maybe the situation will be different!" Judging from the current situation, he is a hero who is unwilling to be subordinate, and now he is suppressed by Luo Yaoguo. There is no way to defeat Luo Yaoguo and Luo Yiqun to seize the supreme power by relying on his own strength, unless he joins forces with us, we will be his foreign aid, and cooperate with him inside and outside, maybe we can take Luo Yaoguo and save China at the same time! Don't let her fall into the abyss of world war. ”

"Runzhi, what do you mean......" Zhou Elai hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Mao" zd smiled deeply: "The current situation shows that it is Luo Yaoguo, not Chiang Kai-shek, who really brought China to the point of no return to provoke a world war!" And the only feasible way for us to stop the war and defend peace is to unite with Chiang and oppose Luo! We can unite with him and help him seize and overthrow Luo Yaoguo's dictatorship and seize power! And the benefits, you can ask for territory or let us participate in the joint government! e, do you think it's possible? ”

"This ......" Zhou Elai was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he felt that "Mao" ZD's suggestion was "sexual" to a certain extent. Now that Hu Hanmin is dead, China's supreme power has actually been held by Luo Yaoguo's uncle and nephew! And Chiang Kai-shek has always coveted the big position and is Luo Yaoguo's main competitor! Now, if he doesn't take advantage of Luo Yaoguo's lack of stability, I'm afraid he won't have a chance in the future. But there is no way to bring down Luo Yaoguo by relying on Chiang Kai-shek's strength! Because Luo Yaoguo controls most of the Whampoa department, the navy and air force are basically his men, and there is such a powerful secret service as the Military Intelligence Bureau, and because he is a Cantonese, he is supported by the Cantonese faction, the mainstream faction in the Kuomintang, and now his uncle is in charge of the president. This Chiang Kai-shek, looking horizontally and vertically, has no chance at all, unless he gets the help of GCD and uses some thunderous means! But is Zhong G so powerful?

Seeing Zhou Elai's hesitation, 'Mao' zd snorted, and said: "E-lai, in fact, Luo Jiang has been in conflict for a long time, and the situation in Wuhan is only calm on the surface, and there may be some kind of undercurrent surging underneath!" And power struggles sometimes require thunderous means. Luo Yaoguo is inferior to Chiang Kai-shek in this regard, his methods are too soft, and he is not ruthless. As he spoke, he made another head-killing pose. Chiang Kai-shek now lacks a murderous knife, we can give him this, as long as he can get rid of the warmongers who plot to start a world war, we GCD people can support him as the leader of the country! In addition, this matter must be based on the fast and slow strike, and we will send a secret envoy to negotiate with Lao Jiang first. ”！。
