108908 Far East Madman Chapter 38 reunites in Zhengzhou

Of course, Morrison doesn't care about the name of a female schooler, he is now more concerned about the development trend of the situation in the country, and now the only person who can let him see this trend clearly is the Commander-in-Chief Zhao in front of him, so the first thing he did when he was invited into the study by Zhao Bei was to set his eyes on the desk by the window.

"What are you looking at, Mr. Morrison? It was just a very ordinary table, not an antique. ”

Zhao Bei snorted, took a cup of hot tea from the guards, and warmly invited Mo Lixun to sit on the happy hair opposite him.

"Mr. Morrison, I know you don't like Indian black tea very much, so I specially prepared green tea for you, but I am not a teahouse here, and I don't pay so much attention to making tea, so you have to bear with this taste."

After Zhao Bei sat down, he put the teacup on the coffee table in front of him, glanced at Mo Lixun, and saw that the other party had withdrawn his gaze, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

"Commander-in-chief, I am curious, when I was outside the house, I happened to hear the young lady complimenting you on two lines of poetry, one of which seemed to read, 'The Poor have been chased' and you seem to have written it on paper? ”

Mo Lixun saw that Zhao Bei was dressed in military poison and his armed belt was also in good spirits, so he decided to call the other party "commander-in-chief", but he really didn't see any calligraphy works on that desk just now, so he was also curious.

"Do you have a keen sense of hearing, but it's not "you've chased the poor" but "it's better to chase the poor" Although it's just a difference between the two words, the meaning is very different. ”

Zhao Bei smiled and corrected it, then pointed to the drawer and said, "If you want to appreciate my calligraphy work, I can take it out of the drawer and show it to you." ”

"Thanks, if it's convenient for you." Morrison was not at all polite.

Zhao Bei glanced at one of the guards, who took the "calligraphy work" out of the drawer and handed it to Morrisson.

"Commander-in-Chief, your calligraphy is very good. Much stronger than me. Morrison said yes

Speech.

"My calligraphy can't get into the eyes of calligraphers, but in the eyes of foreigners, Chinese culture is indeed shrouded in a layer of mystery, Mr. Morrisson, you told me before that you came to China mainly to study China's ancient culture, but in my opinion, your interest in politics seems to far exceed your interest in ancient Chinese culture."

"As a member of society, we are all inseparable from politics, not to mention, the current political situation in your country is very delicate, it seems to be at a fork in the road of history, as a journalist. It's not incomprehensible that I'm interested in politics.

Morrison hurriedly seized the opportunity in front of him and got down to business.

"If my understanding is not wrong. The commander-in-chief's sentence "It is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining bravery." It seems to show that you are not willing to give the Beiyang clique a chance to breathe, and you seem to want to hit Beijing in one go, completely end the control of the Beiyang clique over the central power of this country, and then transfer this central power to the hands of the United Front, with your catty. Political blocs rule the country. ”

Hearing Mo Lixun's inquiry, Zhao Bei smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Mo Lixun, obviously in your opinion, the current Beiyang Group has indeed become a "Kou." now, and in our country. There is an old adage called "Win the king and lose the king", and you are not optimistic about the future of the Beiyang Group. ”

It's a matter of looking at it left and right, Morrison understands. This topic does not seem appropriate to continue. So he had to change the subject.

"According to what I have received, the United Front is trying to form a responsible cabinet with full control from the United Front side through this North-South peace talks, and now the Congress is now controlled by the United Front. If the Cabinet is also completely controlled by the United Front, then the central power of the country is effectively controlled by the United Front. It doesn't seem to matter which side controls the presidential administration, and even if this situation occurs in the United States, which has a presidential system, it would be disastrous for the political faction on the president's side, which actually means that the president has lost control of the central power, and the president has become an ornament. ”

At this point, Morrison paused. glanced at Zhao Bei, and saw that the other party still maintained a faint smile, holding a teacup, leaning on the sofa in a more casual posture, looking calm and relaxed, completely different from those high-ranking officials in Beiyang.

Morrison paused and continued: "Actually, what I want to ask is, if the United Front really controls the Congress and the Cabinet, how do you plan to formulate the country's domestic and foreign policies? To know. Now not only foreign journalists are concerned about this issue, but diplomats from various countries are also very concerned about this catty. Issue. ”

"Mr. Morrison, I need to remind you that the United Front is not my word. I'm just the leader of this political coalition. There is some authority, but that doesn't mean I can do whatever I want in the United Front. Therefore, if the United Front really holds the central power, I must also accept the advice and even supervision of the General Committee in the formulation of domestic and foreign policies, and although the General Committee cannot limit my decision, they are qualified to decide whether or not to convene a Party Congress, and that is where the real authority of the United Front lies. Of course, I can first tell you the bottom line here, as a soldier responsible for this country, my domestic and foreign policies will be based on the interests of all the people of this country as the only criterion, I will not do anything that harms the interests of the people, I will try my best to do things that are beneficial to the country, in any case, it is my only goal to bring this declining country on the road to prosperity and strength. ”

Zhao Bei's words were false and real, which made Mo Lixun even more curious.

"What do you think of Britain now?" Morrison's catty, the problem is very straightforward.

"Britain is a powerful country, this country not only has a developed industry, but also a strong army, especially its navy, as far as I know, at present, Britain's hegemony in the world seems to be unshakable, this country's influence on the world is everywhere, and even the current situation in China is controlled by Britain."

The commander-in-chief's words were very clever, deliberately avoiding sensitive topics, and focusing on Britain's powerful national and military strength, which made Morrison a little unwilling, because he actually wanted to ask about Zhao Bei's diplomatic position towards Britain.

"So, what do you think of Germany?" Morrison asked again.

"Germany is a rising power in Europe. I'm intrigued by the pattern of its rise, I think

The heart is a model for the country, and the German model of catching up cannot be imitated according to the lack of training. But in my opinion, there are many lessons to be learned from China's rise in the process of Germany, Zhao Bei said.

"It seems that you have a good opinion of Germany. So, I would like to ask, if you had central power, would you have entered into an alliance with Germany? ”

Mo Lixun glanced at Zhao Bei and found that the other party's brows were slightly twisted.

"Mr. Morrison, about the alliance. This involves diplomacy, and as a professional soldier, I know almost nothing about diplomacy, whether China should form an alliance with a certain power or a certain number of catties and powers, this is related to the interests of too many aspects, and it is really not something that can be decided now. In my opinion, the world situation today is relatively stable. It seems that there is no need to emphasize too much on the significance of international military alliances, and for Chinese, as long as China does not face dangerous enemies, Chinese will not take the initiative to seek the protection of military alliances, because "moderation, culture has a deep influence on Chinese, and Chinese rarely choose to go to extremes in history, unless they are forced to a dead end." I think. For backward countries, economic and industrial development comes first, and on the basis of mutual benefit, China is willing to develop normal trade with all the powerful countries in the world. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and the specific foreign affairs should be discussed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Assembly. And it is also closely related to the situation in the Far East. In particular, the current situation in the three eastern provinces, as well as the situation in the Mongolian steppe. ”

Morrison was not satisfied with the commander-in-chief's answer, and although he heard a little bit of overtone in this passage, the question he was most anxious to understand was still not answered, and he was about to continue the question, when an adjutant entered the study and interrupted their conversation.

"Commander-in-chief, the train has arrived, do you think you should walk over now?" The adjutant said.

"It's okay to have it"

Zhao Bei stood up, smiled apologetically at Morrison, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Morrisson, now a train transporting volunteers has arrived at the station, I'm going to pick them up, that's the end of our conversation today, you can stay in the hotel for a few days, we can do an interview at another time." By the way, you may be able to come with me to the train station, and I believe that in these volunteers, you will see the hope of this country and the future of this nation. ”

"I'd love to meet with you with these volunteers, and I'd like to interview them if you're so like

Morrison certainly would not miss this opportunity to appear in public with the Commander-in-Chief, and he came to China, although he was attracted by the ancient culture of the country, but he did not necessarily have his own calculations, and he would be very happy if he could get in touch with the political center of the country through the Commander-in-Chief.

When they arrived at the Zhengzhou railway station, the volunteers who had arrived here with the train had already gotten off the train and lined up in front of the train station, and a temporary review stand had been set up. He was surprised to see the schoolgirl who had been hiding in front of the small study of the General Headquarters.

"Hello, foreigner, we meet again." The chubby schoolgirl greeted Morrison in frappy French.

"You can talk to me in Chinese

Morrison said to the schoolgirl in Chinese. He noticed that the other party had a pair of armbands tied to his left arm, on which were written the words "Political Propaganda Commissar".

"Are you a member of the Political Propaganda Commission?" Morrison asked.

"Haha! No. To be precise, I am now just a supernumerary member of the Political Propaganda Commission, and this little armband was actually handed over to me by the commander-in-chief just now. That's what I went to the General Headquarters to get this armband. There are 50 armbands in total, and all the people here who are maintaining order are like me, they are all supernumeraries of the Political Propaganda Committee, and we are specially responsible for receiving and placing volunteers at the train station

"Will there be a lot of volunteers?" Morrison asked again.

"Of course, it is said that there are nearly 10,000 people, and they will be assigned to Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Shandong

"What are they doing in these places? Shandong is still under the control of Beiyang. Most of these volunteers look young and look like they should be students, so why don't they continue their studies? ”

"The decaying Beiyang Group is about to fall. Shandong will also be controlled by the United Front, do you think the Beiyang Group will be able to continue their rule? ”

The female student glared at Morrison with disdain, raised her arm, pointed to the black crowd and said: "These volunteers will do different jobs according to their strengths, some will go to the countryside, some will stay in the city, and some will become grassroots government workers, as for their studies, they can continue their studies on the job, and some will become teachers and principals in primary and secondary schools, isn't this more meaningful than studying in school?" ”

"But, as far as I know, your commander-in-chief is planning to send more students to study in Europe.

"There are only a limited number of places to study abroad, and not everyone can study abroad. You're too wordy. I won't tell you, since you know the commander-in-chief. Then you can ask him, but the commander-in-chief is busy right now, and he may not have time to deal with you. ”

The schoolgirl gave Morrison a blank look, then looked in the other direction, and Morrison followed suit, only to be surprised to find that Commander-in-Chief Zhao had finished his speech and was already in the Ford car, and there seemed to be a schoolgirl with a ponytail sitting next to him.

"Is that lady a friend of the Commander-in-Chief?" Morrison asked.

"Hee-hee! Go and ask the commander-in-chief yourself. ”

Seeing that the car never showed any signs of starting, Morrison walked over with a strong curiosity, and inexplicably became a light bulb, of course, a few years later, he used a lot of ink in his memoirs to describe the precious experience of serving as a light bulb, after all. This was his first official meeting with the wife of Commander-in-Chief Zhao, and he was deeply impressed.

For Zhao Bei, this reunion with Miss Cuiyi's Zhengzhou is of great significance, because it was in front of the Zhengzhou railway station that he officially hired the first female secretary in his political career, and the other party entered his life as a "volunteer".

This is a good intention, but not everyone can understand it.
