Chapter 39 General Election of the Provisional Executive Committee
In the evening, the first batch of grain and grass agreed with the Japanese army was finally transported to the side of the small stone bridge on the Anzi River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe Japanese are not stupid either, and insist on the delivery of the agreed grain and grass in four installments on the grounds that they have lost many of their own military horses.
Zhao Yi didn't bother to rub shoulders with them, and agreed to deliver it in four parts, but it must be completed within four days, otherwise the retaliatory strike will continue. As for the cease-fire proposal put forward by the Japanese army, Zhao Yi refused to discuss it at this time on the grounds that he had not obtained authorization from his superiors to discuss matters beyond his authority.
is pulling the tiger skin as a banner again, seemingly inadvertently, and hinting to the Japanese that buddies have a backstage.
Of course, the Japanese are not stupid, and under normal circumstances, they will not be easily teased by this trick of pulling the tiger's skin as a banner. The problem is that the situation in the northeast of China has always been complicated. The Great Powers had a rather subtle attitude towards Japan's war with the Qing court.
On the whole, Britain was trying to push Japan to start the war, and so far John Bull had provided a lot of convenience for the Japanese attack. Tsarist Russia has always had the ambition of expanding southward, and Mao Xiong is not satisfied with only an ice-free port in Vladivostok in the Far East, and has long coveted the Liaodong Peninsula. The Germans wanted the Jiaodong Peninsula, and the Americans did not have a strong desire to divide a large sphere of influence, but the Bald Eagle wanted the same trade preferences as other countries. Although the Gallic chicken is no longer as generous as it was back then, it wants to get a piece of the pie.
The great powers all sat and waited for the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, and then came to eat the corpses of this rich and backward country.
The Japanese also knew very well that they were only pushed out by the great powers to be thugs. However, if they want to "break away from Asia and join Europe," they must fight this so-called "battle for the founding of the country," and only by tearing off a piece of meat from this decaying and declining empire can the newly nascent Meiji regime enter the fast lane of development and squeeze into the club of great powers.
The Japanese have an understanding of the international situation, and they are not like those Tartars of the Qing Dynasty, who are reluctant to open their eyes to the world and only dream of their own heavenly kingdom.
The Japanese are well aware that there is a conflict of interest between the great powers. This time, in order to have a full feast, they all adopted an attitude of either agitation or acquiescence to the military action of the Japanese thugs.
However, once there is an irreconcilable contradiction between their interests and demands, who can guarantee that which one will not raise another thug? Britain has always wanted to curb the expansion of Tsarist Russia in Northeast Asia, which is why it has pushed Japan to the forefront. Where would Tsarist Russia not know what kind of calculations Britain was making? Germany has just entered the fast lane and is seen as a destabilizing factor in Europe by the United Kingdom, which does not want Germany to have more tau expansion in China. Germany is also very dissatisfied with Britain, an island country, meddling in affairs on the European continent and causing trouble and rain, which is obviously hindering Germany's development. The contradiction between these two is also very deep. In the process of the rise of Germany, France beat them very hard, and these two are old enemies. The rest of the United States must want the situation to be as chaotic as possible.
And this army, known as the First Volunteer Brigade of the Royal Marine Corps, is indeed all Chinese, but it is much more advanced than the Japanese army. You say that there is no black hand of the great powers behind them, who believes it?
This is also the reason why Dashanyan is most afraid of the First Volunteer Brigade, and there is no force that has expressed its attitude towards this unit, that is to say, he doesn't know the owner of this vicious dog, where does he dare to fight with a dead hand? If they lure out their masters, it will ruin their whole plan.
The Japanese army admitted that they did not make any offensive moves north on Fuzhou Avenue to avoid provoking the 1st Volunteer Brigade. In the direction of Jinzhou Avenue, it is actively transporting materials and gathering troops. It seems that the Japanese army intends to bypass the Fuzhou Avenue and attack Jinzhou from this road only.
Jinzhou City is also quiet and there is no action, since the last time Xu Bangdao successfully blocked the Japanese army in Shimenzi, the direction of history has completely changed. The Gongwei Army, which was supposed to have been defeated by the Japanese army and retreated to Lushun, is now stationed in Jinzhou City. And history will not be until the spring of next year, Xu Bangdao, who contracted the disease in the guerrilla war against the Japanese army in the Liaohe Plain, is now recuperating in Jinzhou City. Maybe it's the butterfly effect. The only veteran who dared to fight was sick, and the rest were cowardly in the nest as turtles.
There is no fighting on the north and south fronts, and the traversers are building infrastructure in the base. The marquee for the accommodation has been set up. Everyone has their own bed in the tent and no longer has to sleep in foxholes.
At this time, the floor heating in the tent was not yet electrified, but it was quite warm to hide in the tent, wading on his small canvas camp bed, and covering it with a sleeping bag.
For traversers who do not have a duty mission, many people will choose to stay in their own cots. In the past few days of fighting, although there is no risk, I am still tired enough, so take advantage of the calm and calm now, and take a good rest.
Many people were lying or sitting, holding a printed copy of about seven or eight pages in their hands, and discussing with their comrades-in-arms next to them while reading them.
The content of the materials is compiled by Yang Xiaodong according to his own memory, and the report on the domestic and international situation in China around the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War.
Zhao Yi asked Yang Xiaodong to sort out the information, print it out, and distribute it to everyone's hands. Let everyone first familiarize themselves with the general environment of the era they are in now, and think about how these three hundred and sixty-five people should go in the future.
Zhao Yi decided to hold a general meeting on D+10 to elect an interim executive committee, when the time comes, five members will be elected, and everyone can sign up to run. He will hand over command of the base to the Executive Committee after the Interim Executive Committee is elected.
As soon as the news came out, it didn't make any big waves, which was different from what Zhao Yi expected. Most of the GIs, looking at the information and complaining, paralyzed, just this Japanese army of five scum can beat you like this, is this your sister really our ancestor?
Some people complained, then you are an ancestor, I am a Han Chinese, indicating that I will not carry this to the pot.
Then, someone picked it up again, what do you mean you don't carry this pot? Then Ye Zhichao, Ye Runran, Zhao Huaiye, Zhao Ranran, aren't they all Han?
Soon the building was crooked, and few people expressed their opinions about what they planned to do in the future, and I was going to run for membership of the Provisional Executive Committee. Many people subconsciously think that Zhao Yiyi's current team is doing a good job, and it would be good to add some people to the team and represent everyone, and it is estimated that there will be no major personnel changes.
Zhao Yizuo was in the position of the tank commander, half of his body was exposed on the turret plane, his hands crossed, lying on the .50 machine gun, staring blankly into the distance. He fantasized that after the election in two days, he would hand over the command and become the commander of this tank himself.
When he was a child, he was not a very assertive person, he liked to follow the crowd, and he followed what his friends liked to play. Before the crossing, he was almost forty years old, and he didn't have any plans for his future life, and now you let him be responsible for the future of these three hundred and sixty-five people, he really feels very pressured. He is a very kind person at heart, and he is afraid that his bad decisions will hurt others. It is precisely this kindness that at the beginning of the crossing, he took over the command head-on, and he was afraid that retreating in a critical time would harm others.
Now that he has taken a breath of relief and can calmly choose his leader, Zhao Yi feels that the time is coming for him to unload that heavy burden.
Although many people are chatting indiscriminately. However, those who are interested in joining the leadership team have already begun to move. These people who are ready to move are exactly the hope that Zhao Yi feels that he is about to let go of his burden.
However, hiding in the corner and watching the scenery, he did not expect that many people were seeking to get a position in the interim executive committee, but they all pointed to four positions other than the chairman of the executive committee.
Everyone is not stupid, now that Zhao Yi's prestige is so high, he went to grab the position of the boss for no reason, isn't this recruiting black fans for himself? Besides, there are several forces in the base, and Zhao Yi's interest group is the smallest in number, that is, there are four members of the crew. It's one less than two pilots and three ground crews in a flight squad. Give him the position of the boss, and the other small groups will rest assured. Zhao Yi would not have thought that even a small team with a small number of people would become a reason for everyone to choose him.
Gun Commander Li Yang saw his boss, lying on the turret and looking at the scenery, and he was in a hurry. Just now, he told Zhao Yi about the situation that many people were going around in tandem to prepare for the election. As a result, the eldest of his own family came here to see the scenery with a roar.
When there was a war a few days ago, he was so busy, he insisted on talking and chatting with the big-headed soldiers in all directions. Now it's time to be idle, what does it mean that you hide here to watch the scenery, you proposed the election, won't you be so sure of your position? Li Yang was in a hurry.
How did Li Yang know that his boss didn't want to be the chairman at all. He didn't even have the idea of being a member of the Executive Committee. Li Yang wanted to pull the few two members of the small team to canvass for Zhao Yi. But let's not mention Hu Dazhuang's IQ, can you slip away the question of canvassing. You can't find Ya now, he's busy going to Lu Xiaobei all day to play, unless it's an emergency gathering, where can you find him.
The driver Yu Yungen Nima was unreliable, Li Yang took him to someone else's tent to canvass for votes, and as a result, he chatted with others about online games, and the building was so crooked that he didn't know where to go.
Li Yang is also not a capable political material, he didn't notice at all that those who were busy canvassing for votes in tandem privately acquiesced to the position of chairman of the executive committee of his boss, and everyone was competing for the other three places. Well, how did it change to three, nonsense, one is a female committee member, can they get it? Don't ask me why there is a quota for female members, Chinese characteristics.
Lu Xiangyang, as one of Zhao's partners in the past few days, cooperated quite well, and successfully coped with the battle a few days ago. He himself has no desire for power, but his brothers are worried that if there is no one of his own in the executive committee, it will harm his own interests. The mountain troops strongly asked Lu Xiangyang to run for election, but Lu Xiangyang couldn't resist and agreed.
The most unexpected thing is that Xiao Fei, a hooligan, is also going to run. This guy's campaign slogan is also very thunderous, and he promises to be loyal to the boss Zhao Yi, and he must fight wherever he wants, and he will not frown for his brother to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire. Big brother, isn't this the choice of Causeway Bay speaker? Don't be funny, you've seen too much?
In the end, the educated people in his team couldn't stand it, so they helped him change the slogan to, closely unite under the leadership of Zhao Yi, and work hard to work for the benefit of the crossing.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that both reliable and unreliable candidates have been locked in as one of Zhao by the chairman of the executive committee.
The atmosphere of the campaign in the base made the dog and man who were outside the base feel it. He didn't understand much Mandarin, but he noticed that the guards who had been holding prisoners of war had recently chatted with each other more often and for longer. He felt that there were some relatively large events to be discovered.
This matter was much bigger for his masters than the defeat of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army a few days ago. However, what is more interesting to the masters than the defeat of the invincible First Division, he does not know.
