Chapter 435: Sharpening the Knife (3)
The sensational impeachment case was pushed to October 10, which made Sun Wen and the Kuomintang feel very frustrated. But Sun Wen didn't know what to do, after all, he was the chairman of a national government without an army. Originally, there was a part-time job as vice chairman of the Military Commission, but this position was given a kickback when Wang Longzhong returned to the chairman of the Nationalist Government.
As for the deputies to the National Congress who are also happy to postpone the impeachment vote, what is **, in fact, these deputies understand better than the idealists of the Kuomintang. ** In essence, it is the same as zhuanzhi, and the same is based on strength. It's just that the zhuanzhi system pursues one-sided absolute power, while ** pursues the balance of power. The former is simple and efficient, while the latter is cumbersome and procrastinating. But any person with a normal IQ will choose the best master, because only in a society with a balance of power can human beings have the qualifications to talk about dignity and freedom.
Therefore, although everyone knows that the current power is not really balanced, it is more like a hypocritical balance of Wang Zhenyu's handouts according to his personal political will and preferences. Anyway, the members of the two houses of the National Assembly now enjoy the days of discussing and voting on bills one by one, and they enjoy the feeling of inspecting the corresponding government departments under the sign of their respective committees after adjourning the session and pointing fingers. Many members of the National Assembly who have experienced the Yuan Shikai era even said that this is already the real **, although Wang Zhenyu believes that this is only the form of ** rather than the essence. Those who engage in politics are not fools, the Kuomintang proposed an impeachment case at this time, almost to take the entire national government to play with Wang Zhenyu, a military **, and the parliamentarians will not follow the trend no matter how eager they are for power, after all, the power in hand is the most real power, and the rest is nonsense no matter how beautiful it sounds. So as soon as Liang Qichao proposed to go according to the normal procedure, these grandsons immediately raised their hands and agreed, and they could drag on for a day, even the KMT parliamentarians were no exception. It is no wonder that the Kuomintang lost to the mainland in history, and it did not have any organizational discipline at all, and it did not take Sun Wen as a great leader, a great helmsman, and a great mentor in its eyes at all. In addition, according to the agreement on the establishment of the national government, next year will be the year of the official general election, and then the entire power organs in Nanjing will have to be reshuffled, and it is estimated that there will never be a figure like Zhang Taiyan who opposes the government while holding a government official position. It can be said that the future democratically elected government will be a government with a clear distinction between the government and the opposition.
Although everyone thinks that Wang Zhenyu is not a ** faction, it is undeniable that this person holds the greatest power and power of the national government. He didn't even have to send in the military, just using the China Development Corporation he controlled to determine the direction of political support for most companies. After all, the millions of industrial workers are easily fooled by their superiors when they vote. And that's not even counting the huge ticket warehouse of an army that has swelled to a million people. More importantly, although the county is governed by the local people, almost every county with vested interests regards Wang Zhenyu as the protector of this system. Therefore, those peasants who have gone as far as the county seat in their lives, let alone Nanjing, and who don't even know what the provincial mayor looks like, will pat their heads on who they vote for. Why did the farmers in the Huguang area kill the long hair so bravely, it stands to reason that the long hair given to them will be divided into land and there is no conflict with them, in fact, it is all the credit of Zeng Guofan and others, the talented old men said that they were bad people, so we killed them, God! So Yuan Shikai said that the national quality is too low, but the second half of the sentence is not suitable for **, it is a bit far-fetched, is there an inevitable connection between the two? Far away, still set your sights on Russia.
In distant Omsk, the capital of All-Russian Commander Kolchak, there is no sign of war communism in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and there is no trace of war.
In a bar not too far from Kolchak's residence, two young men with oriental faces but no one at all were chatting while drinking in a corner of the bar. Both men have a common profession, the senior agents of the National Security Bureau: Lieutenant Colonel Dian Biao and Lieutenant Colonel Liu Mohan, who are the heads of two spy groups currently operating in Russia, and this is the first time they have connected.
Lieutenant Colonel Dian Qiu, a native of Fuyuan, Yunnan, was born in the military intelligence system, although he is 27 years old, he is an old agent with six years of experience. In 1913, he joined the Military Intelligence Bureau in Anjiang, and after training, he was sent to Beijing to carry out a six-month undercover mission, during which he did not participate in the work of the Iron and Blood Salvation Association, nor did he participate in the operation of the bloody law enforcement department of the famous Beijing Division. But he did a very surprising thing, in just half a year, this guy who was lurking as a foreman at the Six Nations Hotel actually learned to speak Russian fluently, and then he was promoted to lieutenant colonel because of his great contribution to the action against Xu Shuzheng (well, it was to drive Yang Du to see Xu Shuzheng), and this time he was sent to Omsk because he could speak Russian.
Liu Mohan is a little worse than Dian Biao in terms of qualifications, and his background is not pure, neither from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, nor from the military intelligence system. This young man from Jinhua, Zhejiang Province was originally an entourage under Du Yuesheng's Hengshe, and he has been in the underworld for ten years since he worshipped the old man at the age of fourteen. At first, because it was not accurate with people, and the Russian Concession itself was not very good, and it was not comparable to the French Concession, so it was not ordinary rotten, and later took refuge in Du Yuesheng, a rogue tycoon in the French Concession who suddenly rose during the Xinhai Revolution. Du Yuesheng also needed someone who was familiar with the situation in the Russian concession to expand his business, and Liu Mohan was very fortunate to be supported. It's a pity that the blessing of misfortune is the blessing of evil, Liu Mohan, who wants to be a big boss, is unlucky, and his business is very average, and the only good thing is that he is very good at dealing with Russians. In the sixth year of the Republic of China, the National Security Bureau was ordered to prepare for the construction of the Far East Station, which required excellent Russian knowledge, and Liu Mohan was selected inexplicably. At first, Liu Mohan didn't agree, but then he fainted when a major's hat smashed over, you must know that his ancestors have never produced an official, and they have been tenants for generations, so he joined the gang without hesitation, and then he was sent to Siberia to blow the cold wind......
"Is the work going well?" The one who opened the question was Liu Mohan, who had just arrived in Omx.
Dian Fu shook his head: "It's still a work in progress, and I haven't been here for a long time, and none of the previous five groups have gained trust from Kolchak. The Russian admiral was cautious and seemed to have a natural resistance to foreign powers. It's still your kid's luck, you actually got that Central Asian country for Yushuai, and you can't run away with this great achievement. Say, what did the above say about sending you to Omx? Do you have any tasks for me? ”
Liu Mohan did not rush to answer Dian Yu's question, but lowered his head, took a sip of coffee, and then looked at the situation around before saying: "It's the Autonomous Republic of Arash, it's really not difficult, it's easy, but there are still problems in the follow-up, after conveying the order, I have to go back to Orenburg to continue to complete my mission, and whether this land can finally return to our motherland is still a big question mark." Far away, Director Dien, I wonder how things are going on in Omsk and Kolchak lately? ”
Dian Fu shook his head again, then stuffed a piece of medium-rare steak into his mouth, chewed it well for a long time before swallowing it, and then spoke: "All appearances are false, Kolchak's army has been defeated again and again since the so-called Red Army was defeated on the Volga River in April. Don't look at this Omuks at the moment, it seems to be in the limelight, but in fact, it is already panicked, waiting to see General Kolchak turn the tide of the war. However, from my observation and experience, it is very difficult to achieve this. ”
"No, I saw it at the train station just now, and the supplies aided by the British and French Entente countries have been pulled over one by one, how can you not win?" Liu Mohan frowned and asked suspiciously.
Dian Fu easily swallowed the whole steak, took a sip of a cup of Volga, held back the bitterness in his throat and said: "No, no matter how many weapons and ammunition are given, it is nonsense, they have no faith, or they are not willing to sacrifice for their beliefs, and the war is still fantasizing about peace at this time." Those Bolsheviks are different, like the Muslims in history, either believe in me or die, you say in this situation, how could Kolchak win? In addition, I think Yushuai's side should move quickly and prepare for war, otherwise it is estimated that there will be nothing for us in Central Asia next, which is by no means alarmist. ”
Liu Mohan nodded, took out a cigarette and lit it: "Then your next task is simple, you have no intention of interfering in the Russian Civil War, and you only want to seek benefits from the Russian Civil War." And their focus is not the same as that of the Japanese. The Japanese were staring at Kolchak's gold, and it was Kolchak's Russians who wanted it above. According to the survey, there are more than a million Russian middle classes, educated, ideological, and technological, and once they are driven out of Russia by the Bolsheviks, then they will be of our own use. The plan of the Northwest Station is to resettle these people in the Xinjiang region, so that the industrialization of the northwest region will be greatly accelerated in the future. ”
Dian Biao thought for a while: "I understand, but Kolchak is a chauvinist, and we may not be able to do his job, so we still have to prepare for both." On my own side, I tried to get in touch with Kolchak, and here in the ordinary Russians, we had better put some effort into it, do some secret propaganda, and put our hopes on Kolchak alone. ”
Liu Mohan took the last sip of coffee into his stomach, nodded, picked up his top hat and put it on his head and left
