"Arise, hungry slaves! Arise, people of suffering all over the world! The blood is already boiling, and we must fight for the truth! The old world is falling, slaves get up, get up!

"Sanming cooks righteousness, our party's sect, to build the Republic of China, to enter Datong. Counselor, the vanguard of the people, sleeps all night, and the doctrine is from. Be diligent and courageous, and be faithful and loyal; One heart and one morality, and always ......"
Maybach limousines drove on the streets of Wuhan City, with swastika flags fluttering in the wind, and on the streets on both sides, a large number of supporters of the Kuomintang or the coalition of leftist parties were waving various flags and excitedly singing the "war songs" of their respective camps.
The impassioned "Internationale" or the brisk rhythm of "Sanminghuo Yisong" resounded through the streets and alleys. This was the first universal suffrage in China's history, and having just won the world war, the enthusiasm of the Chinese who had become imperialist citizens to participate in the country's political life was clearly rising. China's major political parties have also invested great enthusiasm and resources in this election. In the capital Wuhan and its vicinity alone, there have been five election campaigns in the past month with more than 100,000 mobilizers!
And these five elections were all initiated by the Kuomintang and the coalition of leftist parties, of which the Kuomintang held two and the coalition of leftist parties launched three times! And today, the two major election camps launched a huge march to help the election on the same day. If it weren't for the timely dispatch of the military and police in Wuhan City to separate the two factions, there might have been an all-armed street brawl!
Rudolph. Hess sat calmly in the back seat of the Maybach sedan, hearing the familiar melody of "The Internationale" as his gaze casually swept over the crowd of GCD flag-waving flags on the sidewalk on the left. Most of them were dressed in overalls sewn from labor cloth, and at first glance they were members of the working class, and a few young men in Chinese robes were at the forefront of the procession, waving large party flags in their hands while leading the singing of the Internationale. The scene suddenly reminded the vice-head of the Third Reich of a decade before the Nazi Party in the German parliamentary elections...... Now there is no such multi-party election in Germany, I didn't expect China to embark on this road, and I don't know if those Chinese GCDs will be elected?
"Mr. Sheng, when will the official vote begin?" Hess turned his head to look at Sheng Shicai, the Chinese ambassador to Germany, who accompanied him on his visit to China.
Sheng Shicai has not returned to China for many years, and he was really surprised to see the red flags on the street! Hearing Hess's question, he didn't react for a while, and after a long while, he muttered: "Oh, there are still many months, the voting date for the presidential election is March 1 next year, and the two houses and local elections are earlier, December 8 this year, and there are less than two months left." ”
"Oh," Hess nodded slightly, and said lightly, "I hope that when I come to China next time, I won't meet a Chinese president of GCD." ”
"That's impossible, this time the GCD did not put forward a presidential candidate, they joined forces with small and medium-sized parties such as the Mingzhuo Revolutionary Party and the Mingzhuo National Construction Association to elect Ms. Soong Ching-ling, the widow of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, as the presidential candidate, and Senior General Zhang Xueliang of Zhongg will be the vice presidential candidate."
Hess smiled faintly, looked at the Chinese working class singing "The Internationale" outside the car window, shook his head slightly, and did not speak again. The question of who will be elected president of China has nothing to do with him, he is coming back to China to participate in the sixth round of negotiations at the Wuhan Peace Conference - to negotiate an armistice with US Secretary of State Hull and Sir Halifax, the Foreign Secretary of the Free United Kingdom! After a series of major battles in April, May, and June, the situation in the Caribbean and Central America has temporarily stabilized. The United States recaptured the island of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands at a high cost, but Germany won the Battle of Panama, driving American power into Costa Rica and taking full control of the Panama Canal (which had already been completely destroyed by the United States). After the war, Hitler believed that Germany had taken control of all of South America, and that the Aryan race had gained enough living space to basically win the war. Therefore, the attitude towards peace negotiations has also become positive, and representatives of Hess's level have been sent. However, the United States is not dead set on this, and is massing heavy troops in Costa Rica during this time, as if it is preparing to launch a new offensive, and it seems that this round of negotiations will still be difficult to succeed...... And Sheng Shicai's thoughts were completely attracted by the pre-election campaign in front of him at this moment. Is China's open-boiled politics really coming? Isn't Luo Yaoguo worried that these GCDs will seize power through open boiled elections and then turn China into a socialist country like the Soviet Union?
…… In Wuhan's Donghu District, Sun Yat-sen Square, these are the places where figures from various political parties participating in the election give speeches and expound their political views and ideas for governing the country. It was the presidential candidate Soong Ching-ling and the vice-presidential candidate Zhang Xueliang who were elected by the left-wing political party coalition to make speeches today, while Mao Zd, who once served as the president of the Republic of China, and Zhou Elai, chairman of GC International, also rushed all the way from Beiping to Wuhan to help Soong Ching-ling and Zhang Xueliang in the election. When the four of them appeared together on the improvised high platform, they were greeted by waves of cheers, and more than 100,000 supporters of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee or GCD in the audience all waved banners and shouted revolutionary slogans, and some even simply "Down with the Kuomintang reactionaries".
The first to give a speech was Ms. Soong Ching Ling, who is regarded as the mother of the country by the coalition of leftist parties, who stood in front of the speaker with a smile, waved frequently to her supporters, and did not take the speech, but completely improvised.
"Compatriots, our Republic of China started here, Wuchang! A gunshot of the Wuchang Uprising sounded the death knell for the decaying Qing Dynasty and put the world's most populous country on the road to the Ming Boiled Republic, but the victory of the Wuchang Uprising and the fall of the Manchu Dynasty were only the starting point of the road of the Ming Cook Republic in China! And the Mingzhu Republic is not the ultimate goal pursued by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation, and the thousands of martyrs who shed their blood for the country and the nation, what they want to build is actually a society where the world is for the public. The world is also the words that the father of the country has always been talking about, and what is this world for the public? The world is a social system owned by the whole people, an ideal society in which everyone gets what they want, everyone is equal, and everyone is public, and this society is the real GC society! Therefore, GCISM is the ideal of the Father of the Nation, and it is the goal that those of us who have inherited the legacy of the Father of the Nation strive for! ”
Most of the people below are left-leaning working class or low-level people in the three towns of Wuhan, and Song Qingling's speech immediately pushed the atmosphere to the most. The square erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and the majestic "Internationale" was also sung by the excited crowd.
Song Qingling took a breath of change, the smile on her face was a little brighter, she raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and began to speak again: "Of course, the goal of realizing GCISM cannot be achieved in a short period of time, even if Mr. Zhang Xueliang and I win the election and enter the Moshan Presidential Palace, it is impossible to declare China's entry into GCISM the next day, because our economic and social development has not met the conditions for realizing GCISM, GCISM is a long-term goal, and it may take every one of us to fight for it for life!" ”
She paused when she said this, and the crowd below cheered again, she raised her hand again, the look on her face became extremely solemn, and the people below looked at the expression of the "mother of the country", and slowly lowered their voices again. Song Qingling was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Compatriots, although our ideal represents the well-being of the whole people, the road to realizing this ideal is bound to be tortuous. In the north of our country, there was once such a great power that claimed to have embarked on the path of GCISM - the Soviet Union. But this country no longer exists, the decaying Romanov dynasty has been restored, and everything that countless Russian revolutionary martyrs have won with blood and sweat has been lost! But what does the failure of the GC path in this country say? Could it be that this road of the world for the public is simply not feasible? Song Qingling waved his hand heavily and said loudly: "No! That's not true! The failure of the GCIST Soviet Union only shows that the GCIST path of the Soviet model of centralized dictatorship is unworkable...... As everyone knows, before the fall of the Soviet Union, this country had the largest and most brutal prison system in the world, imprisoning tens of millions of innocent people, and the political life of the whole country was completely Stalin's personal talent! Such a doctrine is not GCISM at all, nor is it the proposition that our coalition of leftist parties seeks to achieve!
What we want to pursue is a GC path that truly represents the interests of hundreds of millions of working people, truly takes the people as the foundation, the power is used by the people, and the interests are sought by the people! Our GC-based path is first and foremost open-boiled! When and how to enter GCISM is in the hands of you, the thousands of Chinese! The future of the country is determined by the sacred votes in the hands of all the people! Believe that your choice can win a better tomorrow for your country, for yourself and for your children and grandchildren! ”
Speaking of this, Song Qingling bowed slightly and bowed to the crowd in the audience, and the audience suddenly erupted in huge cheers, and the leaders of the Zhongg and various Mingzhu parties on the stage were also applauding hard. Soong Ching-ling's speech was so successful that she skillfully combined Sun Yat-sen's ideas with the ideals of GCISM, and integrated the Mingzhuo election into the path to GCISM, completely dismissing the distinction between the Soviet model and the real GC-ism...... With the acceleration of China's industrialization, the proletariat will inevitably become the mainstream, and they are the natural supporters of GCISM! If the Kuomintang still dares to go down the road of constitutionalism, why should the GCISTS in China not do it? Could it be that the Chinese people will not support GCISM? This is obviously impossible............ Luo Yaoguo's current position is the chief of the general staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and he is a professional soldier, and in the political system of the Ming Boiling country, of course, soldiers are not suitable to interfere in politics, and Luo Yaoguo in order to set an example for future generations, so when the election campaign between the left and right factions intensified, he simply disappeared from China's political arena temporarily, neither made any statement and speech, nor did he come forward to stand for the Kuomintang as a "national hero" and "war hero" to help the election. Instead, together with the Russian Empress Anastasiania, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of seeking peace for the world...... Although this world war seems to have been provoked by him.
On the afternoon when the leaders of this leftist party coalition were giving speeches in Sun Yat-sen Square, Luo Yaoguo and the Empress of Russia were sitting on chairs in the living room of the Anas Palace and leisurely drinking tea, waiting for the appearance of German Vice Führer Hess. Anastasia had also visited the United States and the Free Britain (Canada) just a few days earlier, and signed an armistice agreement in Washington and Ottawa with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the Free Britain. At this point, Russia can be regarded as truly getting rid of its identity as a belligerent in the world war, and it has also cleared the obstacles to the inflow of American capital into Russia, so the mood is really good. When he was chatting with Luo Yaoguo casually about some ambiguous topics, he saw Natalie walk in with a cold face.
"Fuwen, Her Majesty the Empress, Rudolph, Deputy Head of the Third Reich. Mr. Hess's motorcade will arrive in five minutes at most, do you want to meet it? ”
Luo Yaoguo and Anas looked at each other and smiled, the "special relationship" between the two of them was really too public, no wonder Natalie was unhappy. Luo Yaoguo moved his body away from Anas slightly, and nodded at Natalie with a smile: "Please come in, Mr. Hess." ”
Natalie did not leave immediately, but handed a hand-copied copy of Soong Ching-ling's speech to Luo Yaoguo: "This was sent by Zeng Muhan, in which Soong Ching-ling officially set the realization of GCISM as the general goal of their left-wing party alliance." ”
"Oh?" Luo Yaoguo took the document and read it at a glance, and nodded slightly: "It is natural for leftist parties to position GCISM as the ultimate goal...... In fact, the former president (Sun Yat-sen)'s Sanming Cooking Doctrine itself also included some social Mingxuanism content, and the Kuomintang's line was originally center-left, but it has gradually deviated to the right in recent years. ”
"What? Aren't you worried about them taking power through elections? Anastasia on the side frowned, a little worried. She, the Russian empress, is of course anti-G in her bones, and she doesn't have a dime of favor for the Chinese GC ists.
Luo Yaoguo just smiled and did not answer the question, but asked Natalie: "Are the latest poll results out?" ”
"Come out, according to the survey conducted by Ta Kung Pao, in Wuhan City, the support rate of the Kuomintang is 55%, the support rate of the leftist party coalition is 28%, the total support rate of several small right-wing parties is 10.5%, and the rest are voters who have not yet expressed their attitude. The results of the survey of "Declaration" and "Lianhe Wanbao" are similar, and the results of the survey of "Red Star" and "Xinmin Daily" are 53% for the KMT, 30% for the coalition of leftist parties, and only 7% for several small right-wing parties. Opinion polls in southern cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Chongqing, and Chengdu are all broadly the same. In Beiping, Tianjin, Shenyang and other large cities in the north, our support rate is even higher. As for public opinion in the rural areas, with the exception of Liaoning and Jilin, where we are evenly matched with the coalition of leftist political parties, we have a clear advantage in the rest of the places. In the new territories and colonies, our support rating is also very high. The colony's non-Chinese residents, however, mostly tended to favor a coalition of leftist parties. Natalie's answer was very detailed, and it seemed that she was always keeping an eye on the changes in public opinion.
Hearing this result, Luo Yaoguo looked indifferent, he shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile: "Since our country has embarked on the road of open constitutionalism, of course, we can't be afraid that political parties other than the Kuomintang will come to power through elections. In this world, there is no party that will always be in power, and the Kuomintang is no exception...... As for the coalition of leftist parties, as long as they continue to adjust their line and revise their positions according to the will of the people, they may really be elected as the ruling party one day in the future. Just like Soong Qingling said in his speech, the final decision is in the hands of all Chinese, so what do I have to worry about? ”
As he spoke, he stood up and said to Empress Anastasia beside him: "We don't need to worry about the Chinese election, but the peace of this world still needs the two of us to mediate. Let's hurry up and greet the vice-Führer of the Third German Reich. I just thought of a new peace plan, which may be acceptable to Germany and the United States, and if not, then we will organize a seventh or eighth peace talks, anyway, we have time for the two of us......"
…… Beginning in late November 1940, China's general election finally entered the final sprint. In fact, neither Soong Ching-ling nor Chang Hak-liang, the presidential candidates of the coalition of left-wing parties, believed that they could win the presidential election that began in March 1941. After all, their opponents have led the Republic of China to win the world war in the past few years and become super-imperialists! The status of such a figure in Chinese history is destined to be ranked before Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Emperor and Song Ancestor to become the first person in China! Even in the world, he is known as a great man who combines Napoleon and Washington...... Soong Ching-ling and Zhang Xueliang set a target of only 20 percent of the votes, while the right-wing Youth Party, the National Socialist Party, and the Fascist Party simply called on their supporters to vote for Luo Yiqun and Sun Ke, the "great men."
In fact, the real goal of the coalition of leftist parties was the parliamentary and local elections that began in December 1940. With the exception of a few provinces such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, and Guizhou, which entered the constitutional period in 1939 and 1940, as well as the six northern provinces of China, and the Tibetan province, whose social system was still under serfdom, all provincial-level administrative regions in China, including the new territories of East and West Australia, will hold parliamentary and local government elections! Before that, the political power of these 20-odd provincial-level administrative regions was completely controlled by the Kuomintang, and most of the more than 400 legislators and more than 80 supervisory councilors representing these provinces were also from the Kuomintang...... These more than 20 provincial political axes, hundreds of central-level councilors, more than 1,000 county political axes, tens of thousands of provincial council members, and tens of thousands of county councilors are also a huge political resource! Even if they can get 10% of them, it will greatly expand the discourse power of leftist parties in China's political arena, so for them, this nationwide open boil election is definitely a rare political feast!
The arrangements for the early conclusion of the training and holding of parliamentary and local elections in the northern provinces and new territories were suddenly announced on October 10, 1940, the day of the commemoration of the Xinhai Revolution, less than two months before the date of the voting elections. Despite the suspicion of a surprise attack, the coalition of leftist parties welcomed it and threw itself into the national election campaign with the utmost enthusiasm. Tens of thousands of cadres of the Central and Left parties were urgently dispatched, underwent "pre-election training" in the shortest possible time, hastily arranged their respective constituencies, allocated a small amount of election funds, and then were sent to various localities to run for election.
Of course, in addition to the Kuomintang and the alliance of leftist parties, as well as several small right-wing parties, a large number of local celebrities and gentry also participated in this election feast with great enthusiasm. They either directly participate in the election as candidates for reading, or use the political resources in their hands as capital to make deals with various factions in front of and behind the scenes. The responsible persons of the local party departments of various parties have also made wishes to these powerful local figures and have tried their best to express their closeness.
As for the scandal of bribery and fraud, the violent activities carried out because of the election, and all kinds of political rumors, they all appeared on the stage in China's first national surname Ming Cook election. For this reason, President Luo Yiqun had to instruct the Ministry of the Interior to send more police to maintain order in the general election, and even dispatch the National Defense Force in some areas to ensure security during the general election.
The National Election Commission, which is jointly responsible for the Supreme Court, the Legislative Council, and the Supervisory Yuan, dispatched thousands of scrutineers to the provinces to supervise and count votes together with the prominent gentry and magistrates in various localities and the judges of the local courts. In addition, China's major news media have also participated in the coverage and monitoring of the election with great enthusiasm...... As later historians and politicians have said. China's first real general election began in such a hasty, immature, and even unfair atmosphere, but the era of the people choosing the direction of the country's development with their votes has indeed irreversibly begun!
