Chapter 103: Coming to Vote

E: Do you still have a monthly pass? ()

To tell the truth, the smoothness of this revision of the treaty was a bit unexpected even by Wen Deji and his group of members of the Science and Technology Socialist Party. Originally, they calculated according to the historical records of the original time and space, and the best result was to take back the autonomy of tariffs, and abolish unequal privileges such as consular jurisdiction and extraterritoriality.

But what I didn't expect was that this time the British once again waved the role of a-stirring stick. According to their thinking, since they themselves cannot take advantage of China, they will not allow other powers to take advantage of it. Niu Niu used his talent for stirring to the fullest this time, which really brought a lot of surprise to Mr. Wen. Not only did it take back its tariff autonomy, but it also abolished all unequal privileges, recovered all concessions and part of the leased land, and even waived more than half of the Gengzi indemnity.

Later, at a meeting, he jokingly said, "We should give John Bull a one-ton medal."

Gengzi's indemnity is not a small amount, with a total of 908.23 million taels of silver in principal and interest, and more than 2.21 million taels are compensated to the foreign powers every year. Coupled with the "small indemnity" to the church and the "pound loss" afterwards, it was almost a billion taels of silver. In addition to the money from the customs duties and salt taxes controlled by the central government, most of it was apportioned to the provinces and customs, which was called "foreign donations".

The scope of apportionment of the indemnity covers most of the country, of which the annual contribution of each province is as follows: 80,000 taels in Zhili (including Beijing and Tianjin), 30,000 taels in Henan, 30,000 taels in Shandong, 30,000 taels in Shanxi, 20,000 taels in Jiangsu (including Shanghai), 14 million taels in Zhejiang, 10,000 taels in Anhui, 80,000 taels in Fujian, 14 million taels in Jiangxi, 60,000 taels in Shaanxi, 30,000 taels in Gansu (including Ningxia), 40,000 taels in Xinjiang, 20,000 taels in Hubei, 70,000 taels in Hunan, 20,000 taels in Guangdong, 30,000 taels in Guangxi, 20,000 taels in Sichuan, and 30,000 taels in Yunnan. 20,000 taels in Guizhou, a total of 1.88 million taels.

The three northeastern provinces are the nests of the Manchus, and Inner and Outer Mongolia are good friends of the Manchus, so these places have not been apportioned. Qinghai and Tibet, on the other hand, are sparsely populated, too far away, too poor and too remote, typical of poor and remote areas. Second, it is basically the local monks and laymen who are strong and self-governing, and the orders of the central government are not effective here, and they cannot collect taxes at all, let alone pay money to the garrison and officials every year, so they cannot be apportioned.

Judging from the eight and a half provinces currently occupied by the CSD, the compensation that should be borne is 710,000 taels per year, equivalent to 66.11 million yuan in silver. After the amendment, the indemnity was reduced to the original 45. 14. That is, 44.13 million yuan per year. After the amendment, the proportions of the reparations received by the powers in the southwest government were: Russia. 78 Germany 2. 17 France, 16, Japan B3, England B-, Italy 655

For the CSD, which could help the powers print money, money was just paper, and the amount of reparations was not a problem. For Wen Desi, the benefits of reducing the compensation are more reflected in the government's image and the improvement of his own prestige.

Since the news of the completion of the revision of the treaty on February 15, 196, Wen Desi finally saw the scene that he had only seen in novels, movies, television, and anime before: people from all walks of life came to vote, calling it "Lord Gong", uh, wrong, it was called "Chairman", and bowed down.

Young students from all over the country were the first to act, Fudan University, Qiushi Academy (the predecessor of Zhejiang University), Nanyang College, Northwest University, Southeast University, Fujian Shipbuilding School, Jiangnan Sailor School, Baoding Military Academy, ...... Students from various universities and high schools rushed to the territory of the Southwest Autonomous Government like carp crossing the river.

Not only did the students run away, but even the teachers couldn't sit still, and some teachers and even principals organized their own students to take a collective action. For example, Mr. Yan Fu took advantage of his position to bring a large number of teachers and students from the predecessor of Jingshi University. At once, more than eighty percent of the people in the Jingshi University Hall were taken away.

Secondly, even those young officers with progressive ideas also defected in large numbers. Not only the Qing court, but also other revolutionary party forces also ran away. These people's ability to act is much higher than that of students, so they politely leave a book and leave it with a seal; You're not welcome to take the troops, take the equipment, and run away with food and grabbing.

Then there are the scientists and engineers in academia. These people have long heard that the science and technology of the Southwest Autonomous Government are world-class and the industry is extremely advanced, and they have long been yearning for it, but now that the Socialist Party has successfully revised the treaty with the world powers, they can no longer sit still.

For example, Feng Ru, who originally cooperated with Xingke Group, set up an aircraft factory in Oakland, the United States last year, and the funds he obtained from the "Overseas Chinese Mutual Aid Association" obtained low-interest entrepreneurial loans. Moreover, after he came into contact with the book "Materialist China", his ideas were quickly assimilated. This year, after hearing that the "idol" and "gold owner" Mr. Moon Deo-si had revolted and had a large number of advanced aircraft, he had already moved the idea of returning to China. It's just that he wants to build a plane and return to China, so he has been delayed until now.

However, after hearing that the government of the Socialist Party led by Chairman Wen had revised the treaty with the great powers, he could no longer hold back and hurriedly rushed back to China overnight with all the employees who were willing to return to China. Originally, he wanted to move the entire factory, but the contact person of the CSD said that the equipment was too old, and that you just had to go back, and we would take care of it.

These Chinese people who came to defect have different motives, some are brain-dead fans who have been completely brainwashed by Mr. Wen's "Materialist China", and some are worshipping the industrial miracles and technological miracles brought by Wen Desi; Some of them agree with the ability of the CSD and believe that today's China can only be saved by the CSD. Others have the idea of making meritorious contributions, believing that only the CSD can help them realize their wishes. These people basically came with the dream of saving the country and enriching the country and strengthening the army.

Of course, there are some people whose motives are not so pure, and there will never be a shortage of such creatures as political speculators. Although the Socialist Party dealt with a number of them some time ago, because they were so powerful, there were still speculators who continued to flock to them. This is called "handsome, no way", or "natural beauty is difficult to give up".

In addition, there are spies of various forces, and this creature is never lacking. However, this is not a problem, the door of Dr. Ji Huiye's School of Biology is always open, and we sincerely welcome all "volunteers" to join us and make selfless contributions to the progress of human science. Oh, and the medical school also welcomes these "volunteers" very much.

However, what surprised him the most was a group of Japanese. That's right, it's the Japanese who are fake. But they are not spies, they all made their identities clear and came to apply for refuge generously.

"Kita Ikki Katayama Qian, Kotoku Akisui, Nishikawa Kojiro, Abe Isoo, Toshihiko, Mori Kon Yunhei" Wen Deji looked at the list in his hand with black lines, and the whole person was solid.

"Do these Japanese really want to join our Chinese Science and Technology Party?" do they really understand our purpose and program?" asked Wen Deji again, feeling that this kind of thing was really amazing.

Well, these Japanese are socialists, and the CSD is a party of scientific socialism, and at first glance this behavior does not seem bizarre. In fact, Japan came into contact with ** and socialist theory much earlier than China, and China's early works such as "Capital" and "** Manifesto" were basically copied from Japan, and even the words "xxism" were directly used in Japanese kanji vocabulary.

However, it must be pointed out that the "scientific socialism" of Wen Deji is absolutely not "**", and it is also the opposite of the so-called "real socialism". Because the CSD is a nationalist party through and through, it has never raised any ideas such as "internationalism", "emancipation of all mankind", "total elimination of classes", etc. The so-called "real socialism" and the so-called "real socialism" are strongly opposed to nationalism, and although "scientific socialism" and their views and viewpoints in some fields are similar or even similar, the basic ideas are completely incompatible.

In his "Materialist China" and other articles and speeches, Wen Desi repeatedly emphasized China's rejuvenation, and his words were about returning to the status of the Celestial Empire and establishing a new world order dominated by China.

In the eyes of those "communist fundamentalist" pseudo-left petty bourgeoisie in the original time, space, and later generations, Wen Dehei's "scientific socialism" is nothing more than selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and is "rotten meat full of the stench of imperialism and nationalism" that is "left in name and right." However, Wen Deji never bothered to argue with these guys before he crossed over, he always thought that these guys were sick in their brains, completely replaced reality with their own fantasies, and thought they were extremely clever.

He has never concealed his stand, and since even those pseudo-leftist petty bourgeoisie whose brains are caught in the door can understand his theory, there is no reason why those Japanese do not understand it? These Japanese can be regarded as elites, and they are real elites, and they are not at all a level of existence compared with some self-proclaimed "elites" in later generations, and they are even more different from those "communist fundamentalist" pseudo-left petty bourgeoisie.

"That's right, they all handed in their official applications to join the party...... Mr. Wen, there are a few blood letters written on the spot......" Confidential Secretary Gu Xiaohong's face also had a very fixed expression.

Gu Xiaohong's sister-in-law is in charge of the affairs of the Far East, although her name is very similar to Gu Xiaolu's, she is definitely not a sister, not even a cousin or cousin, and she is not related by blood at all. Like several other secretaries Gu Xiaoqing, Gu Xiaolan, Gu Xiaofei and so on, they were just too lazy to choose a name, so they let the light brain randomly choose a name similar to Gu Xiaolu. Of course, for the sake of convenience, Wendeji simply asked them to think of each other as sisters. Not only is this the case with the "sisters" of the Gu family, but also the names of other secretaries and sisters.

Gu Xiaohong explained: "According to the negotiators who contacted them, they joined us for two purposes: one is to further study our theoretical knowledge and organizational building, and the other is to hope that China will first develop and then lead the socialist ......revolution in Japan."

"This ...... Aren't they worried that we will go to war with Japan in the future, and that if we win, we will annex Japan......" Buntokuji felt that he could not understand the Japanese thinking at all. In his writings and speeches, his hostility towards Japan and his intention to dominate East Asia were already clearly revealed, and he did not believe that the intelligence of those Japanese elites could not be seen.

Gu Xiaohong continued: "That Kita Yihui said that the current reactionary forces in Japan are very strong, and we must rely on the strength of the Chinese revolutionaries to defeat them, and they are very supportive of our fight against the current reactionary government in Japan. As for annexation, they are even less worried, they believe that an island country like Japan has no way out on its own, and only by relying on China can it perform better and contend with the European and American powers. They want to create a Chinese-led Asian federation......"

"This ...... These Japanese are really ......" Moon Tokuji was speechless, he didn't know how to describe this strange thought. But not to mention, there was indeed such an idea in Japan at that time, and it had a great influence for a period of time.

"Okay, let the organization department arrange a job for them first, and if they want to join the party, they must follow the procedures, and the worksheet and organizational inspection cannot be ......" Wen Desi thought about it, and still decided to accept this group of people. Since there is an automatic door-to-door leading party, it is also a good thing, and if it is done well, it is a good choice whether it is to eat Japan as a whole or to build a satellite country as a dog. He is not the kind of indignant youth who has to engage in the "Tokyo Massacre-Massacre", otherwise it is not enough to express his patriotic enthusiasm, he is very pragmatic......
