535th New Beginning

June 6, 1925. Later historians called it "the most suspenseless election in history" finally came to an end. Of the 721 seats on the Participation Committee, 443 are held by the GCD, 210 by the Kuomintang, 38 by the Progressive Party, and the remaining 30 by independents or small parties. China's GCD has achieved a majority of more than 61 percent, and the Ruguo Party, including the Progressive Party, has just reached the two-thirds majority needed to revise the system and the constitution. Of the 120 seats in the Legislative Yuan, the Chinese GCD occupies 71 seats, and the Progressive Party occupies 10 seats, which is also more than two-thirds of the "" novel chapters are updated the fastest. Now not only is the ownership of the political power in suspense, but even the drafting of the new constitution is completely in the hands of Chang Ruiqing and Zhongg, so to speak, more than 46 million Chinese voters have given the future of the country to Chang Ruiqing and Zhongg with their votes.

The next step was for the legislators to come to the road, and in late June, Shihou gathered in Nanjing, where Yijing was a prosperous scene in the middle of summer. Since the current parliament was also tasked with formulating the constitution and forming the Great China Federation, their term of office was also half a year longer than that of the future Chinese parliamentarians, from June 1925 to October 10, 1930, a total of five and a half years. However, in the first six months, they had only three missions, namely, the resolution of the merger of the Republic of China and the Republic of the Far East to form the Great Chinese Federation, the formulation of the Constitution of the Great Chinese Federation, and the election of the Federal Government and President of the Chinese Federation.

The former also involves the Far Eastern Republics, a puppet state that is de facto accused by China. In a legal sense, it can be regarded as a sovereign and independent country! At the same time as the general elections in the Republic of China, a parliamentary election was held in the Far East. The succession of the election was also a complete victory for the GCD Far East Bureau of China. However, the opponent of the Far East Bureau of China and G is not the Kuomintang, but the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Association. It is worth mentioning that Sun Yuexun, who was only 20 years old, was also nominated as a candidate by the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Association, and was finally elected as a member of the Political Council for the establishment of the Far Eastern Republic of China with a high vote! It seems that Sun Yat-sen's illegitimate daughter and the identity of Chang Ruiqing's mistress are tèbié excellent here in the Far East.

After several days of intense preparation and deliberation, the parliaments of the Republic of China and the Far East finally opened on July 1, 1925, and at the same time signed the Treaty of Merger of the Far Eastern Republic of the Republic of China with a large number of votes. In accordance with the provisions of the Treaty. The Republic of China and the Far Eastern Republic will merge to form the Great Chinese Federation. And within a federal state, the Republic of China will become a federal subject, and the central government of the Republic of China will automatically become the federal central government. The parliament of the Republic of China automatically became the federal parliament. The Far East, on the other hand, will become a highly autonomous federal component, and with a two-thirds majority vote in the Parliament of the Far East, a referendum on independence from the Union will be proposed, and the Ruguo independence bill will be supported by 60% of the registered voters of the Far East. The Republic of the Far East will secede from the Union and become a sovereign and independent state!

After the "Treaty on the Merger of the Far Eastern Republic of China" was obtained by the Far Eastern Republic of China, the Legislative Yuan. The Senate and Legislative Chambers of the Far East elected 18 members of the Bundesratial Council and four members of the Federal Legislature. As a result, the total number of members of the Council for Participation in the Administration of the Chinese Federation has reached 739, and the total number of members of the Federal Legislative Yuan has reached 124. And that Sun Yuexun was also elected as a member of the Federal Council for Political Affairs of the Republic of Far East, becoming the youngest member of the Federal Council for Political Affairs. Later, because of this incident, the Federal Council for Political Participation and the Legislative Yuan also issued the "Sun Yuexun Law", which stipulates that the minimum age for candidates to run for political and legislative membership shall not be less than 25 years old.

As for the constitution of the Federation of Greater China, in fact, it was secretly drafted long ago, and after the election of the federal president and government, it was proposed by a constitutional drafting committee. It will be reviewed and approved by the two houses of the People's Republic of China and the Legislative Council. Since this constitution did not break away from the scope of bourgeois democracy, it greatly expanded the power of the cabinet. However, even the opposition Kuomintang parliamentary group voted in favor.

On August 28, 1925, the Draft Constitution of the Chinese Federation was obtained. It is stipulated that the head of the Federal State shall be the president, and the cabinet shall be decent, and the Senate shall vote tongguo. The statutory term of office of political and legislative members is five years (more than half a year for the first term), and the term of office of the president is also five years, and he can be re-elected for two consecutive terms, but the president is only the head of state in courtesy, and he has any real power. The actual power is held by the Cabinet of Parliamentary Majority or Majority Alliances, and the theoretical term of office of the Prime Minister is five years, with no limit on how many terms. But the opposition parties can put forward a motion of no confidence, and the cabinet must choose between resigning or dissolving parliament and holding a new election, as long as it is voted by more than 50 per cent of the members of both houses of parliament.

The next composition of the federal government and the election of the federal president also méiyou any suspense. On September 1, 1925, the Senate and the Legislative Yuan overwhelmingly voted to organize a joint responsible cabinet of the GCD Progressive Party led by Chang Ruiqing.

Chang Ruiqing himself became the prime minister and minister of defense, Zhang Junmai became the vice premier, Wang Yaqiao was appointed minister, Liao Zhongkai was appointed minister of finance, Wang Jingwei was appointed minister of foreign affairs, Kong Xiangxi was appointed minister of heavy industry, Chen Duxiu was appointed minister of agriculture, Shao Piaoping was appointed minister of propaganda and national education, Pan Yucheng was appointed minister of social security, Wang Yongquan of the Progressive Party was appointed minister of police, Zeng Qi was appointed minister of commerce, Zhang Shenfu was appointed minister of energy, and Peng Shuzhi was appointed minister of health. Jiang Baili, who has no party affiliation, was appointed minister of armaments, Zhang Tailei was appointed minister of justice, Xu Shuzheng of the Progressive Party was appointed president of the Examination Yuan, Yan Xishan, who had switched to the Progressive Party, was appointed chairman of the State Planning Commission, Mao Zd, chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, was appointed chairman of the Political Council, and the president of the Legislative Yuan was Soong Ching-ling, the wife of Sun. The first president of the Chinese Federation was Duan Qirui, who had been in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years.

And on October 10, 1925, the 14th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, it was also the day when Chang Ruiqing's cabinet was officially sworn in. An American bulk carrier flying the Stars and Stripes has arrived at the dock in Yokohama, Japan, where the weather is at its best in the year. The clouds are blue. The sea breeze is warm.

The harbour city, which was nearly flattened by the devastating earthquake more than two years ago, now seems to have returned to its former glory. In the turquoise deep-water harbor, newly built wharves are neatly arranged. The large slipway and dry dock under construction are revealed. There are also tall and neat buildings such as coal stations, gas stations, and warehouses on the shore. Freighters, oil tankers, coal carriers, and grain carriers of various sizes anchored at the wharf, most of which flew the American flag or the Japanese flag. Japanese dock workers in blue labor cloth overalls were busy loading and unloading cargo, and the masts of heavy cruisers could be seen a little further away from the civilian docks. In the farther direction of the city of Yokohama, there is a faint construction site that is under construction. This qiē seems to indicate that Soviet Japan was under the leadership of the GCD. Yijing completely stepped out of the shadow of the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War and the Great Kanto Earthquake.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...... Is this really Yokohama? Less than two years shijiān. Japan is actually here! Standing on the deck of the 6,000-ton American bulk carrier named the "Boston Mermaid," Du Yuesheng, who had been to Japan once more than a year ago as a representative of the Red Cross Society of China, said three times in a row that he did not expect.

Standing next to Du Yuesheng was a bearded Yankee in a blue tweed jacket named Victor. Baldwin. He was the captain of the Boston Mermaid and an intelligence officer for China's National Intelligence Agency. I had worked for China Merchants Shipping Company for many years, so I could understand Du Yuesheng's Shanghai Pudong dialect. It was also during that period that he was seduced by the sèqing spy sent out by Wu Yan'er to join the intelligence bureau, but this Yankee who was a spy still loved the United States and refused to go to the United States to collect intelligence, so he was arranged (in fact, he ziji went to apply) to this route that runs exclusively in Japan and the South Seas

Captain on an American ship.

He shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Du, this is indeed Yokohama, the only window of Soviet Japan that has been open to the outside world for the past year and a half. The port city is a big construction site that's not on the go. ”

Du Yuesheng took a breath and said, "I hope this Yokohama is just a face-saving project for the Japanese." Otherwise, things won't be good. ”

At this time, a convoy of cars and two trucks suddenly drove into the dock, and the three cars were all flying the flags of the golden sun on a red background, which seemed to be a bit of a precedence.

Captain Baldwin's eyes were sharp, he saw the convoy first, patted Du Yuesheng's shoulder and smiled: "Mr. Du, look, it's our guest who has arrived." ”

Du Yuesheng nodded, and walked towards the gangway with Baldwin. But don't méiyou go down to greet you. The three cars stopped on the dock not far from the Boston Mermaid, and from the first sedan came a tall and thin young man wearing a Japanese Red Army uniform and a blue hat, looked around, waved at the two trucks behind him, and then walked straight up the gangway. There were also people jumping out of the two trucks behind, a few of them were soldiers in blue hats, and a dozen girls in colorful kimonos, lined up under the scolding of the soldiers, and walked to the boat, each holding a small bag of luggage in their hands.

"That's the NKVD deal," Baldwin whispered into Du Yuesheng's ear, "It's all the daughters of poor families in rural Japan...... It was sold to Japanese brothels all over the South Seas! ”

“shime? Japan's GCD actually does this kind of unreasonable business? Du Yuesheng showed a surprised expression, for the past two years, he has been taking care of the National Intelligence Bureau's secret control of the sale in Shanghai, and has been working in Japan and Nanyang intelligence, and he knows nothing about human trafficking in Japan.

Baldwin grinned wryly: "Those Japanese girls don't think so, it's always a way to survive in Nanyang than to starve to death in their hometown." ”

"Starving?" Du Yuesheng was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Méiyou heard that there is a famine in Japan?" ”

"Japan's GCD has blocked the news to the outside world, but the seafarers who run the Japanese route are all Qingchu...... Are you going to ship shime stuff out of Japan on my Boston Mermaid? Baldwin paused and lowered his tone: "Grain, it's food!" We shipped iron ore from Malaya, copper and nickel from the Dutch East Indies, rubber from the Philippines, tin and chromium from French Indochina into Japan, and then loaded with Japanese grain and girls to the South Seas...... It's a sin deal.,There's shihou I think ziji is a villain.,God.。 Please forgive me. ”

Saying that, the bearded captain actually drew a cross on Ziji's chest in a serious way.

"Mr. Baldwin, it's nice to meet you, and welcome back to Japan." The Japanese NKVD officer Yijing ran up the gangway with a grunt. Very warm greeting in English.

"Comrade Yasuda," Baldwin, who was still guilty just now, hugged the visitor very warmly, and then introduced Du Yuesheng with a smile on his face: "This is Comrade Yasuda of the Japanese NKVD, and this is Mr. Du from Nanyang." ”

The person who came was Yasuo Yasuda, but Baldwin did not know his real identity, but only had business dealings with him, and the other party was a responsible comrade of the Japanese NKVD. After a few brief greetings. I went straight to the captain's office on the "Boston Mermaid". However, Baldwin himself was qualified to attend the talks, and after taking the two to the office, he went to deal with the exchange of resources for food and the sale of women.

"Comrade Yasuda, this is what I asked me to give to you from above." Du Yuesheng took out an envelope from Ziji's suit pocket and handed it to Yasuda.

Yasuda took the envelope. Pulling out the letter from it and looking at it, Baldwin's thin face, which had been tense since he left, showed a slight smile. "The above probably also thought that I could sit in this éiyouyidiǎn secret at all, as long as I could sit firmly in this chair. There is no need to worry about Japan anymore. ”

"Comrade Yasuda." Du Yuesheng also does not know the true identity of Yasuo Yasuda, or even that he is the Japanese NKVD. "I think that Zhidào Katayama has the sincerity of reconciliation, and whether he can control the overall situation of Japan, and the attitude of the Japanese military is shime?"

Yasuda stood up and walked over to a shijiè map, which hung on the bulkhead across from his desk, and was the latest Chung Hwa Book Company version of the map, on which the Republic of China Yijing was replaced by the Great China Federation, but Méiyou drew the Japanese archipelago, the Ryukyu Islands, and Sakhalin Island as the territory of the Great China Federation. It seems that on the issue of the Japan-China alliance, the Nanjing side still has room for improvement.

"I think you should be about Chairman Katayama's visit to the Soviet Union in March this year, right? Can you Zhidào Trotsky make a shime-like request to Chairman Katayama? He wanted Japan to prepare for an attack on the South Seas by the end of 1934...... "Yasuda drew a line with his slender fingers along the Japanese Mariana Islands, British New Guinea, Dutch East Indies, and Malaya. “…… It's a big pie. Rice, oil, iron ore, rubber, non-ferrous metals, the one that made Japan a shijiè empire are all there, and as far as I know, Prime Minister Tsuneshi used it to tempt Prime Minister Tanaka a few years ago, and now Comrade Trotsky is seducing Chairman Katayama with this pie. ”

"Chairman Katayama isn't interested in this?" Du Yuesheng asked.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Yasuda turned around and smiled bitterly at Du Yuesheng.

"Can't you? Things are going to be good here in Yokohama. ”

"It's all a face-saving project, and it's not worth mentioning." Yasuda waved his hand, took out a thick stack of Wen Jiàn from a handbag he brought with him, and handed it to Du Yuesheng.

"Mr. Yasuda, is this a shime thing?" Du Yuesheng opened the text and took a look, it was all written in Japanese, and he couldn't understand it at all.

"It is the economic report of the State Planning Commission of Japan, which is supervised by Soviet experts, and it is the one named by the above in the telegram." Yasuda lit a cigarette and took two puffs: "The socialist transformation of Japanese industry and commerce has been completed, and more than 100,000 factories and mines in Japan have been nationalized according to the Soviet model and brought under the jurisdiction of the government's administrative directives. Immediately after the completion of the industrial and commercial transformation, Japan's State Planning Commission conducted a comprehensive survey, and this is the final copy of the investigation report.

According to this report, Japan's total industrial output in 1924 was only 35% of that in 1922, and the output value of heavy industry decreased by 60%, of which steel production fell by 70%, less than 500,000 tons! Electricity generation drops by 50%!

Soviet experts believe that the foundation of Japanese industry, tèbié is still the foundation of heavy industry, although the output of major heavy industrial products has declined, but the production capacity is still there, and the main reason for the decline in output is the shortage of raw materials and the shrinking of the export market. So the solution is to do everything possible to increase exports...... But now that Japan has shime things that can be exported? The shrinkage of light industry itself is even worse than that of heavy industry, and China, which was once the main market for light industrial products, has completely closed its door to Japanese goods. The original commodity silk exported to Europe and the United States has been robbed of more than half of the market by the silk exported by the China Fishery and Farmers Association, so now it can only export grain and women, but how much money can it be exchanged for?

However, the Soviet experts did not care about this, and they proposed the development of Japan's first four-year plan, demanding the development of heavy industry at all costs, and tèbié listed the four industries of steel, manufacturing, aviation, and machinery as the top priority! Japan was asked to cooperate with the Soviet Union to develop new combat ships and aircraft, and after the completion of the two four-year plans, the Japanese Navy would be the most powerful maritime force in the whole country!
