Chapter Sixty-Nine: United?

The news came out again, and the whole country was boiling!

The reporters outside the presidential palace have been waiting, the sky is getting dark, they are still waiting, the sun is setting, they are still waiting, the night is falling, the lanterns are on, the reporters are still looking forward to it. Two Wehrmacht guards, one on the left and one on the right, stood at the foot of the steps at the entrance of the main building. In the hall inside the door, dozens of officials were also waiting anxiously.

Fast! Fast! Fast! Almost all the newspapers and printing houses in Nanjing are shouting such a word.

Finally, the door to the hall opened. Sun and Fang Jianxiong walked out side by side, facing everyone, Fang Jianxiong made a gesture respectfully, Sun stepped forward and said: "After urgent consultations, the Navy of the Provisional Government will temporarily transfer all the troops to the National Defense Force to prepare for the Surabaya task force." The Provisional Government of Nanking and the Wehrmacht solemnly announced that within a week, if there was no satisfactory response from the Dutch Government, the contingent would send troops to Surabaya and formally declare war on the Dutch Government! ”

As soon as these words came out, the applause was thunderous. Whether it was the officials of the provisional government and the social elites, or Fang Jianxiong's attachés, they were all applauding desperately. The reporters outside the gate also cheered: Long live, long live the Wehrmacht, long live Commander Fang?

The shout quickly spread, and all the reporters followed suit. Sun's face remained unchanged, and he raised his eyes to see that no one else had such a good cultivation. The faces changed one after another, and excited people such as Chen Qimei, Li Liejun, Zhang Peijue and others directly sank their faces.

Fang Dashuai glanced at the door very calmly, and said in his heart: "Which bastard shouted like that?" I want to show my appreciation for you! ”

With the guards cheering them off, the reporters quickly dispersed. The disturbing cheers also dissipated. All those who remained in the hall also dispersed. Fang Dashuai declined Sun's request for dinner, saying that he would go back to his accommodation to rest directly, and there were still many things to do. Sun expressed his understanding of this, personally sent the car, and sent a cavalry team to escort Fang Dashuai to the Nanjing Grand Hotel.

Fang Dashuai's car didn't drive fast this time. There are guards trotting in front and back, this night has just come up, it can be regarded as a scene in the city of Nanjing, the sound of footsteps, in the middle is a car, or President Sun Da's car.

Seeing the disappearance of the team, President Sun turned back to the crowd and said, "Deputy heads of departments, come to me for a meeting." ”

In Sun's office. The attendees were soon assembled. Everyone's mood looked quite heavy. The scene that just happened was like a shadow hanging over my heart. Damn the reporters, they actually shouted "Wehrmacht Outside the Year!" "Long live Commander Fang!"

What is this for? Are these journalists in the water? Don't know what this place is? This is something that everyone is holding back in their hearts, but no one is the first to say it. When the atmosphere was a little depressing, Chen Qimei, who was relatively irritable, patted the case and said: "Fang Fuguo." Leave him alone! ”

"Ince, presumptuous, do you talk like that? All revolutionary comrades! Sun scolded majestically. Chen Qimei sat down silently. The dignitaries of various departments also lowered their heads and did not speak, when Sun's eyes fell on Huang Xing's head. This one sighed and said: "Yixian, if we can persuade Fang Fuguo to unite with us and send troops to the Northern Expedition, I am willing to give up the post of chief at that time." ”

Sun Yat-sen's heart is complicated at the moment, or he is anxious. If you can't reach an agreement with Fang Jianxiong. Then you can only compromise with Yuan Shikai. Isn't that a union with Yuan Shikai? It is estimated that within this group, few people will agree. But Fang Fuguo never let go!

"Yixian, why don't I go and talk to Fang Fuguo. In fact, what Fang Fuguo did in the United Autonomous Region can be regarded as a relatively national way of thinking. Hu Hanmin took the initiative to ask, raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and moved his cheeks a few times on his fair face.

"No need, everybody. Fang Fuguo has officially stated his attitude and will advance and retreat together with the Nanjing Provisional Government. Once the Nanjing government's Northern Expeditionary Army is reorganized, Yuan Shikai is still unwilling to go south, and the two armies will jointly send troops to the north, pacify the Beiyang, and establish a republic! Sun Yat-sen suddenly raised his voice, his face was excited, and he raised his hand and waved vigorously: "Comrades! The Republic of China with a republican system will be born in our hands. At that time, a national election will be held, and an interim parliament will be formed by provincial parliamentarians to elect a prime minister's cabinet government. If Yuan Shikai goes south, I will fulfill my promise, formally resign, and hold a national election. ”

Such a news immediately ignited the conference room, and everyone showed excitement. A few people who knew about military affairs showed a worried look on their faces, and instead of showing excitement, their anxiety intensified.

Sun Yat-sen understood in his heart, and said with an excited expression: "Comrades from other departments will go back first, this matter is absolutely confidential and must not be leaked." The comrades of the War Department stayed, Ince stayed. ”

More than half of the people walked in the office, and the rest were Huang Xing, Jiang Zuobin, Chen Qimei, Lan Tianwei, and Zhang Peijue.

"Shape shì everyone understands it very well! The key now is the reorganization of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Fang Jianxiong is not optimistic about our reorganization this time, so he is unwilling to unite with us, because he is worried that we will drag him back. Comrades, what do you think in your heart, let's talk about it. Sun Yat-sen can be regarded as throwing out his hole cards and forcing everyone to express his position.

"Chongqing has no problem, resolutely supports the president, and can start reorganization at any time!" Zhang Peijue was the first to stand up and express his position, and after leaving Chongqing, he went to Nanjing, just as the Qing family abdicated. Xia Zhi took the initiative to leave and went to Shanghai, saying that he would go to Japan to study again and continue his military studies.

"Shanghai is no problem, the president just rest assured. The only headache is the lack of equipment. Chen Qimei's attitude is also very clear, he is always a diehard.

"Yat-sen, the problem now is still financial. The previous 10 million, now there is not much left. Huang Xing, who has not expressed his position, raised the most headache question.

Chen Lansheng reported that the method of issuing treasury bonds and adding the salt tax of two Huai can make up two million dollars. The Bank of China can also come up with a million bills. Sun Yat-sen gritted his teeth and said such a thing. The so-called Bank of China bills are paper money. Fang Jianxiong, the military ticket, resolutely opposed, this taboo will not be touched, and can only be bypassed.

"The provinces will also be forced to support the central government with a portion of their finances. Otherwise, the current governor of the province will be removed from office. Lan Tianwei suddenly came out with such a sentence, and everyone looked at him neatly, but no one answered the words. Lan Tianwei's face was expressionless, but her heart was cold. It is not because of the indifference of these people, but because judging from this matter, it is really difficult for people to have confidence in the binding force of the provisional government on the local government.

"The ordnance purchased by Japan has already arrived in Shanghai, and the three divisions in Nanjing will be reorganized first, and then the Northern Expeditionary Army will first reorganize five divisions. We must make good use of the personnel, follow the example of the Wehrmacht in terms of system, and firmly grasp the hands of the War Department in terms of personal and financial power, otherwise we will be warlords of all sizes in the future. At that time, the Qing Dynasty suppressed Yuan Shikai and seized his rights, among which the military power did not work less. But the result? Financial power is not directly in the hands of the town commanders at all levels, and these controls are used to control the army. As a result, as soon as the guns rang out in Wuchang and Anqing, the Beiyang Army did not listen to the dispatch at all. The lessons of the past are in front of us, and we cannot but take them as a warning. Jiang Zuobin can be said to be a typical representative of the victims, when Yuan Shikai was brought home, Jiang Zuobin, who was helped by Liangbi, spent a lot of effort and thought of a lot of ways, but the final result ended dismally.

It can be said that none of the people present could hate the old military system like Jiang Zuobin.

Jiang Zuobin's words really spoke to Sun's heart. Sun raised his eyes and looked at Huang Xingdao: "Keqiang, it's time to make up your mind." Since the revolution and the Northern Expedition has come to this, you should know better than anyone that the current status quo of the army cannot be changed without change. ”

"Okay, you can first reorganize the five divisions in Nanjing and the five divisions in Xuzhou. Those who do not obey the order will be disarmed and disarmed. In addition, we need time to inform Cai Hanqing that the urging can be delayed. As it stands, it will take at least five months. In addition to financial problems, it can be appropriate to restore some cents and showdowns. The Ministry of Finance will send people to the provinces to carry it out. Huang Xing gritted his teeth and said such a thing. Since the establishment of the Provisional Government, many provinces have abolished their levies and assessments.

"Don't be in a hurry about this, let's talk about it when the reorganization of the troops is completed." Sun groaned a little and came to a conclusion...... Fang Dashuai never thought that his little wings would actually let history embark on an abnormal path at this time. The Nanjing Provisional Government had the money to launch the Northern Expedition, but after the military defeat, it discovered some fatal reasons and made some adjustments to the military system. It can be seen that Sun and Huang are all smart people. Historically, they should have also discovered these problems, but they were trapped in financial pressure and the huge pressure brought by Beiyang militarily, and finally chose to compromise with Yuan Shikai.

In this time and space, because of the rise of Fang Dashuai, the so-called invincible legend of the Beiyang Army is simply a joke. The Nanjing government, which did not feel too much military pressure, was not so strict in terms of financial difficulties, and it was even more necessary to firmly grasp Yuan Shikai's pigtails that refused to go south.

Nanjing Grand Hotel, before the National Defense Army Guard Company arrived first, unceremoniously invited the soldiers who were originally guarding inside out, and let Tai Slow be in charge of the periphery. Inside the hotel, after a big search up and down, it took nearly an hour, and at the same time, a special chef was sent to the kitchen to take over the business, so that the handsome man could live in the hotel.

The person responsible for sending Fang Jianxiong back was Yao Yuping, the commander of the Independent Division of the Guangdong Northern Expeditionary Army. If you are facing a great enemy, you are not majestic! ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled and nodded lightly: "I'm sorry, there are too many enemies in Nanjing, even if I sleep, I have to keep one eye open, I don't want to be shot again." ”

Without speculation, Yao Yuping snorted coldly and left. Fang Jianxiong, escorted by the guards, walked into the gate. The entourage had already arrived and waited first, and when Fang Jianxiong came in, everyone stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Jianxiong's eyes were apologetic, he looked around, and finally landed on the bodies of several female soldiers. These female soldiers are all Yin Ruizhi insisted on brought, they are good, dare to play with their lives, and they are easy to be ignored by women, and the effect is better than that of male soldiers.
