In the midst of the press in the press, the two houses of the Diet reconvened to discuss the presidential campaign, and now there are 68 senators from each of the 34 provinces in the Senate and the House of Representatives, and a total of 70 senators in addition to the president and vice president of the Senate. The House of Representatives has 441 House of Representatives, including the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, 443.

At the meeting of the two houses of Congress, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Liu Enge, said that if the three parties re-elect to recommend a presidential candidate, this move will definitely cost the people and money, it is better to keep the original members of the National Assembly, and select capable people among the people as individual candidates, and then vote by the National Assembly.

Electing a president from the people?

Is it really possible to choose a person from the private sector to be president?

Anyone can be a president, which really conforms to the meaning of the word democracy, but the congressman named Che Lin said: "If everyone can run for president, there are inevitably a lot of uncertain factors, such as the Luo Song Dynasty, where ordinary people like to talk about the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the radio, could it be that this commentator can also campaign?" When he goes to campaign, he moves his tongue up and down, and coaxes ordinary people to elect him president, then China will become a joke all over the world. ”

Liu Enge immediately said: "What you said is extremely true, what do you have to say? ”

Councillor Che Lin said: "In my opinion, everyone can participate in this presidential campaign, but there are several conditions that must be met. First, those who run for president must have a clean slate. The second point is that there must be a contributor to the country, and the third point. This man must be praised by the world. ”

"I add that this person must be Chinese." Someone said.

"I also have a build yì to add......"

"I have ...... too"

There are a lot of buildings, if all of them are standard, then the big presidential candidate is a saint, and finally after the discussion of the four speakers, the presidential candidate can as long as he meets the Chinese, has national contributions, praises his character, and has a clean background. Finally, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Liu Enge, said: "Okay, members. As for the criteria for a great president, let's vote by a show of hands. ”

In the end, out of 467 members of both houses of Congress, 422 supported and 40 abstained. Seven people objected, and the criteria for this presidential candidate were passed, and the election was carried out.

When Wang Maoru heard this, he frowned and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Mess around. Or this council. How is this different from the Anfu Congress? ”

Gao Shibin, director of the Office of the Minister of National Defense, Bai Shunzi, adjutant general, Chen Bui, secretary general, Li Wenbin, director of the Department of Cryptography and Telecommunications, and others stood aside and did not know how to answer. Wang Maoru's meaning is very clear, that is, a general election, he needs a general election that is worthy of his word, but now it seems that the members of Congress do not want a new general election for the sake of personal power, but hope to support Wang Maoru as president in exchange for retaining the status of a member of parliament. Wang Maoru needs the support of parliamentarians. In the same way, parliamentarians need Wang Maoru's support even more.

The four of them don't have the right to intervene in this matter, and none of them can handle this matter well. It's another battle between the government and the court.

Wang Maoru said: "It seems that the members of Congress do not want to give up power, but I think it is a little simple. "Indeed, members of Congress are also human beings, and although they are his puppets, they also have their own little calculations. Wang Maoru wants to hold a national election, but this group of members of the House of Representatives does not want to run, and if they run, many of these members of the House of Representatives will inevitably be elected, so they put forward the decision of the democratically elected president to vote.

The meaning of the congressmen is very clear, this is for Wang Maoru, we are all for you, and you must also support us to continue to serve as president.

In the first ten years of the Republic of China, has the dispute between Congress and the president continued to the present?

"Linglingling......" Adjutant Bai Shunzi answered the phone and said, "Generalissimo, it's the Prime Minister's call." ”

Wang Maoru immediately walked over and connected the phone, and Tang Shaoyi said on the other side of the phone: "Xiusheng, do you know the decision of the Congress?" ”

"I know, Congress has its own plans."

"Yes, the people in Congress have their own calculations. But this is not a bad thing, but I am afraid that someone will put a basin on your head in the future. ”

Wang Maoru smiled slightly: "If the parliament is dissolved now, the national election will be held, I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble." The country should not be chaotic, and at this time the country should focus on stability, and the Congress has seen this point. ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it, it seems that no one is a puppet." ”

"Father-in-law, what do you think we should do?" Wang Maoru asked.

Tang Shaoyi pondered and said: "Congress needs your military support, and you also need the legal support of Congress, this move is a strong combination." ”

Wang Maoru sighed: "The National Assembly is always the national legislature, and this decision is also one of the functions of the National Assembly gradually playing its own role. Only the president has the right to dissolve Congress, and if I dissolve Congress, I am afraid it will be in my own interests. ”

"There is no need to disband." Tang Shaoyi said, "If you are elected, the members of Congress will naturally gradually get closer to you." Today, they are doing it for their own sake. Hidemori, do you really think that Asian parliaments can play a role in supervising leaders as much as Europe? Parliaments in Asia are merely instruments of those in power to legislate. Today, it's just that they're doing it for their own benefit, but that's fine. I know you're angry, Congress decided to put you in the game this time. ”

"Yes, today's incident was completely beyond my expectations. I don't have enough control over the Youth Promotion Association and the Ba'ath Party. Wang Maoru said, "This matter should be taken as a warning." ”

Although the Congress's practice is not legal, the Congress does give Wang Maoru a strong hint, as long as you Wang Maoru runs, the congressman will definitely choose you.

The four speakers went to Wang Maoru's house together, sat in the living room and waited for Wang Maoru's decision. Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Okay, I'll run for election." Just don't know who the other contenders are? ”

"Whoever he is." Liu Enge smiled, "As long as the generalissimo ......"

"Ahem, ahem." Senator Shi Shaoyang choked and reminded.

Liu Enge immediately reacted, if he is running for president, how can he call Wang Maoru the generalissimo again, isn't this a military rule? At this time, the title should have been changed, and Liu Enge immediately smiled: "As long as Xiusheng can run for election, he will definitely win." ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Since the Congress has decided, I can't go against the will of the Congress." When is the general election ready for? ”

"It has been determined on the first day of the first month of the thirteenth year of the Republic of China." Wu Zhaolin said.

"Two months later? In such a hurry? Wang Maoru said.

"If someone is running, these two months are just the right time to pull votes for themselves, and there is no hurry." Liu Enge said with a smile.

"When is the registration deadline?" Wang Maoru asked.

Liang Qichao replied: "December 1st." ”

Wang Maoru stroked his mustache and said, "Well, I know, everyone, I have some things to deal with before I run for election." Go to the military and give up the rights of a soldier. ”

Liang Qichao's hanging heart finally let go, and his face, which had been tense, finally showed a subtle smile, and said, "I hope Xiusheng can set an example." ”

Wang Maoru quipped: "Ren Gong is like a three-foot god on my head, how dare I be presumptuous." Liu Enge and the others couldn't help laughing, Liang Qichao also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Wang Maoru said: "Everyone, this future matter needs your cooperation." ”

Liang Qichao smiled meaningfully: "China can't be without Xiusheng." ”

Wang Maoru also responded with a smile: "No one in China is missing. ”

After reaching an agreement with the National Assembly, Wang Maoru began to inspect various departments of the Ministry of National Defense, and then inspected the military reform of the Ghost Car Regiment. In fact, Wang Maoru was also full of apprehension in his heart, once he gave up military power, whether the army would really listen to him. He thought of Yuan Shikai, after Yuan Shikai gave up his military power and returned to his hometown in Henan, he was ostensibly a gentry, but in fact he had contacts with various generals of the Beiyang Army. However, Yuan Shikai only had contact with various officials, Feng Guozhang, Cao Kun, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen and others, and for their subordinates, they were not strictly controlled, and they led these people to form their own independent warlord forces, and also led Yuan Shikai to be overpowered by his subordinates in the later period, and had to raise his own model army.

After Wang Maoru completely established the system of staff officers and officers, the independent warlord model is no longer there, especially now that the telegraph has spread to the regimental level, the actions of the 445 regiments in the country must be reported to the General Staff Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense, and the actions of every army in the country are under the control of the Ministry of National Defense. The Central Committee of the Ministry of National Defense is the place where Wang Maoru holds power most firmly.

In the locality, the sixteen army commanders Gong Xiaoqi, Wei Dongling, Li Pinxian, Yong Xingbao, Mao Ziping, Zhao Zengfu, Du Baosan, Wang Qiyuan, Zhang Baowu, Jiang Dengxuan, Xu Zhengyi, Lu Taoxiang, Gu Pinzhen, Chen Jiongming, Zhao Qing, and Zhao Hengxi, almost all of them were those who only listened to Wang Maoru's orders. After communicating with the commanders of the corps, everyone expressed their support for Wang Maoru. In this way, Wang Maoru was relieved and prepared to go to the military.

However, at this time, Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University and a member of the People's Party, suddenly came to visit, and it turned out that the news that Wang Maoru was about to resign from the military and enter the political circles came out. Twelve years ago, Wang Maoru accepted the invitation of his friend Yan Fu, the president of Peking University, to be a lecturer in international relations at Peking University for half a year. Now after Wang Maoru went to the military, Cai Yuanpei suddenly thought that there was a discipline of international relations in this school, but Wang Maoru had no one to teach after that, so he came to ask Wang Maoru to re-enter the mountain with the attitude of giving it a try.
