Republic of China game

Under such circumstances, Sir Stubbs also received instructions from Prime Minister Macdonald, requesting that maintaining the stability of the colonies of the British Empire be the top priority.London's instructions had already bound Stuart's hands and feet. The governor sighed helplessly and said, "The gangsters are about to get their way now. Why is this country full of gangsters? Where have all their gentlemen gone? Great Britain The empire must retain the concessions of Shanghai and Hong Kong, and the Yangzi can serve as China's inland river, but the Kuomintang must ensure that the Yangtze River shipping is not threatened by bandits and warlords."

This result has long been expected by Schulman, but there is still a big power that may not be so easy to speak, so it is necessary to unify the pace of the United States, Britain, and France.Schulman suggested: "Then our conditions are: [-]. Support the Chinese Nationalist Government in establishing an independent customs area within its ruled area, and be free to decide the tariff rate. [-]. Conditionally support the listing of the Yangtze River as a part of China. The condition is that the national government must ensure that the Yangtze River shipping is not threatened by bandits and warlords. Third, return some concessions, but not including Hong Kong, Shanghai, British and French concessions.”

"But will our Japanese friends accept this plan?" Sir Stuart shook his head: "This plan has little impact on our three countries. Now China is the main market for Japanese industrial products. If half of the Chinese market is lost, we It's hard to imagine how hard the Japanese economy is going to be hit."

Shulman waved his hand and said: "You can't look at things like this. If you don't accept this plan, the Kuomintang will fall to communism. At that time, Japan will lose the entire Chinese market and their special rights in Manchuria. So now this plan is It guarantees Japan's control over the North China market and the special rights and interests of North China. And now that the revolutionary is terminally ill, it may not be long before the Kuomintang will fall apart, and the market will return to the Japanese by then? "

Situ Ba also nodded in agreement.British representatives had already contacted Xia Chao, Chairman of Zhejiang Province. Xia Chao was still able to control a small number of militia groups and security groups. Britain was ready to support him when Sun Yat-sen seemed to control Zhejiang Province in order to contain the power of the Nationalist Government.This is also the reason why Britain chose to make concessions. As long as Sun Yat-sen dies, everything will return to the original point.So what's the point of making some concessions now?

Sun Yat-sen's health status has always been the top secret of the Kuomintang and the National Government, and only a few people in the Presidium and the Military Commission can grasp it.Among them is the pro-Japanese faction Wang Jingwei, er, Wang is both a leftist and a pro-Japanese faction, and the Soviet Union and Japan are deadly enemies, and I don’t know how he coordinated it.

Inuyang Takeshi is known as a ghost fox, and from his name, he knows that he is a cunning and cunning worker.But the Japanese don't like this kind of people very much, they like to be reckless!

The old fox dog Yang Yi did not leave Guangzhou after visiting Sun Yat-sen. He still wanted to know the exact information about Sun Yat-sen's health.This is an important reference for Japan to formulate its next policy toward China.The channel to obtain Mr. Zhongshan's health is Wang Jingwei and a certain famous doctor from the Kuomintang Central Army Hospital.

Shortly after visiting Sun Yat-sen, Inu Yangyi went to see Wang Jingwei, a leftist and pro-Japanese faction in the Kuomintang, to get in touch with Mr. Zhongshan's condition by the way.

The old fox asked with a sincere smile: "Mr. Wang, the medical level of our Great Japanese Empire is the best in the world. We hope to provide Mr. Zhongshan with the best doctors and medical services."

Wang Jingwei replied gratefully: "Thank you very much for your kindness. Although we have hired the best medical team in the Soviet Union to closely monitor the Prime Minister's physical condition 24 hours a day. But if there is a need, we hope that our Japanese friends can lend a helping hand."24 Hour intensive care?Uh, it seems very serious!Although Wang Jingwei felt that Sun Yat-sen's health looked good on the outside, but the cancer was growing inside. Since the Soviet experts were so nervous, it was obviously very serious.

Thinking of this, Wang Jingwei's pale face became even less bloodless.Now he is not as good as in another time and space, because he has always pretended to be a leftist, so he is alienated by the rightists of the Kuomintang.Now the guns of the Kuomintang are mainly in the hands of Xu Chongzhi, Chiang Kai-shek, Liang Hongkai, Bai Chongxi, Luo Yaoguo and others. Except for Luo Yaoguo, everyone else is a hardcore rightist, and Luo Yaoguo is very repulsive to Wang Jingwei, and he refuses to say a word.If this continues, the successor may not be expected.

Seeing Wang Jingwei's dead face, the old fox and dog Yang Yi could guess.Well, it looks like Sun Yat-sen is dying!This should not be wrong. Kenji Doihara heard the news that Sun Yat-sen's cancer had spread through a famous doctor in the Guangzhou Army Hospital yesterday!Moreover, Doihara also overheard the conversation between the Russian head nurse and the director of the Army Hospital. Although the Russian beauty with a lot of waves discussed Mr. Zhongshan's condition with the director of the Army Hospital in German, how could it be difficult for Ken Doihara? What about such a high IQ agent?It seems that in the negotiations with the Kuomintang, you can make concessions first, break up their alliance with the Soviet Union, wait until Sun Yat-sen dies, and then split the Kuomintang by supporting the pro-Japanese faction inside the Kuomintang, and then restore all Japan's privileges!

On December 1924, 12, representatives of the Kuomintang, led by Hu Hanmin, Chairman of the National Government, and Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the Military Commission, and secret envoys from Britain, the United States, France, and Japan held a secret meeting at the residence of the National Government in Guangzhou to discuss revising the rules of the game in China. .

After three days of repeated consultations and bargaining, on December 12, the Kuomintang and the four imperialist countries finally reached the "Guangzhou Secret Treaty" that humiliated the country and betrayed the revolution, known as the New 6 Articles in history.

[-]. The National Government shall not conclude an alliance with the Soviet Union against the four powers.

[-]. The Kuomintang and the National Government shall not use force to unify the Northeast.

[-]. The Kuomintang and the National Government recognize the special rights enjoyed by Japan in the Northeast.

[-]. The Kuomintang and the National Government recognize that the original right of the four countries to garrison troops in various parts of northern China is still valid.

[-]. The military advisers required by the army and navy under the jurisdiction of the Kuomintang and the national government should be hired from the four countries first.

[-]. The army and navy under the jurisdiction of the Kuomintang and the National Government shall not continue to employ Soviet military advisers.

[-]. The four countries agreed to lift the arms embargo on the areas under the jurisdiction of the National Government.

21. The four countries recognize that China's existing territorial sovereignty is inviolable.

Chapter 0112

A mansion in Dongshankou, Guangzhou is full of guests and friends, and it seems that some high-ranking official is hosting a wedding.After more than two years of running around in this world, Luo Yaoguo was finally able to start a family and start a business.Hehe, Luo Yaoguo, who has been a man for two lifetimes, never imagined that his wedding could be so grand, and the status of VIPs attending it was so high.Including Sun Yat-sen, the supreme leader of the Kuomintang who "retired from illness", all members of the Kuomintang Presidium and Military Committee took time out of their busy schedules to drink Luo Yaoguo's wedding wine without exception!

Because the status of the person who came to drink the wedding banquet was too high and important, Luo Yaoguo's wedding banquet was completely arranged by the Gendarmerie Command directly under the Nationalist Government.All ingredients must be strictly checked by the Gendarmerie Command, and the entire processing process must be carried out under the strict supervision of the Gendarmerie.Especially at the table where Sun Yat-sen was, each dish had to be prepared individually by Sun Yat-sen's personal chef under the close supervision of the newly established Prime Minister's Attendant Room.In addition, the security around Dongshankou was also extremely strict on this day. Nearly [-] military policemen completely sealed off the entire Dongshankou area. The entire block had one post at five steps and one post at ten steps. You must have a special pass or a wedding invitation to enter and exit.

Brothers and sisters Qu Ming and Qu Ying, who had just returned to Guangzhou, were also invited. Seeing the layers of security checks, Qu Ming's brows became tighter and tighter: "Hmph! This is the Kuomintang showing the majesty of their dictatorship!"

Indeed, thousands of Kuomintang officers and soldiers in full armor and wearing gendarmerie logos stood motionless on both sides of the street in the most standard posture. This kind of spectacle is not so much a guard for Sun Yat-sen as it is a display of the Kuomintang’s dominance.After the Central Committee of the Communist Party moved to Beijing, the position of the KMT in Guangzhou was uncontrollable.In this era, the democratic parties have not yet emerged. Apart from the Kuomintang, the Youth Party, the Communist Party, and a few small parties of the Beiyang family, China basically has no democratic forces.Moreover, Sun Yat-sen is not dead yet, and his prestige and status have been pushed to the point of almost myth because of some achievements made by the Kuomintang in this time and space.

"Well, this Sun Yat-sen is becoming more and more like Lenin. There are portraits of him everywhere in and around Guangzhou, and slogans praising him everywhere. It seems that the Kuomintang is going to myth Sun Yat-sen." Qu Ying said casually.She has been to the Soviet Union, and she has some understanding of Lenin's personality cult. Now the Kuomintang is indeed advocating Sun Yat-sen according to Lenin's standards.

Qu Ming shook his head with some disdain: "Can Sun Yat-sen compare with Lenin? He is the greatest contemporary Marxist and the center of world revolution. Sun Yat-sen is at best a powerful warlord in China."

"Brother, keep your voice down!" Qu Ying saw several disapproving gendarmes nearby and quickly pulled her brother's clothes.

These gendarmes are fanatical believers trained strictly by the Kuomintang Gendarmerie School.The Gendarmerie Academy is a military academy established at the same time as the Whampoa Military Academy and the Northwest Military and Political Cadre Academy.However, this school has always been very mysterious and unknown, even Luo Yaoguo has not been there a few times.On the surface, Li Liejun, commander of the military police, was in charge of the school, but in fact it was run by Zou Lu, Xie Chi, Zhang Ji, Juzheng and other Kuomintang rightists.The military courses in this school are relatively simple, while the political courses are mainly to brainwash the students, instilling in them the personality worship of Sun Yat-sen and the myth of Sun Yat-sen, in an attempt to build a right-wing armed force loyal to the Kuomintang.In fact, this army is indeed the "Party Army" of the Kuomintang. In this time and space, the National Revolutionary Army is theoretically not an army of the Party, but an army of the National Government. Therefore, the name of the Military Commission is also the Military Committee of the National Government, not the Kuomintang. Military Council.

"Hmph! It's totally reactionary to use the party to rule the army!" Qu Ming is not a person who would succumb to the reactionary forces. He continued to speak ill of the Kuomintang in French without changing his face.

"Brother, isn't our Red Army governed by the party?" Qu Ying also reminded in a low voice in French.

Qu Ming glared at his sister and criticized: "We are the party that leads the army, and our party represents the proletariat to lead the revolution. The party that is the proletariat and the working people is different from them."

"Oh." Qu Ying nodded with some understanding, she smiled and said: "Okay, we are here for a wedding today, so we won't discuss these issues. By the way, brother, when can I drink with you and Sister Lin?" Wedding wine?” During his stay in Yan’an, Qu Ming met a revolutionary young woman from Peking University, and they both fell in love, and it seemed that they would soon form a revolutionary couple.

"Soon. Lin Hui and I have made an appointment, and we will get married on the day when New China is established." Speaking of his lover, Qu Ming's somewhat stern face showed a happy smile.The day when New China was founded!This is the day of great joy chosen by countless revolutionary couples in this era.

Qu Ying shook her head in a daze: "Oh, you idealists think everything too simply. Well, I won't spoil your interest. Let's go in and congratulate the groom." Qu Ying dragged her elder brother into Luo Yaoguo's newly purchased mansion at Dongshankou.

"President Sun is here!"

"Hey!" The Kuomintang army generals sitting in the banquets inside and outside the hall of Luo Mansion immediately stood up and saluted when they heard the news of Sun Yat-sen's arrival, and no one dared to neglect the slightest.

Surrounded by Soong Ching Ling, bodyguards, and several members of the Military Commission and the Presidium, Sun Yat-sen walked quickly into the hall with a rosy face, and nodded frequently to the KMT military and government officials who were crying with excitement inside and outside the hall.This is Sun Yat-sen's first public appearance since news of his critical illness came out in September!

"Sit down, let's all sit down." Sun Yat-sen ordered everyone to sit down in a sonorous voice, waved to everyone, and then walked into the small restaurant upstairs in the hall.

As soon as he walked into the small restaurant, Sun Yat-sen congratulated Luo Yaoguo and Lu Xiaobei like Luo Yaoguo and Lu Xiaobei who had already been waiting there: "Fuwen, today is your big day, so I'll congratulate you first here."

"It's the greatest honor of the Ministry for the Prime Minister to attend the wedding ceremony!" Luo Yaoguo now has tears in his eyes. This probably has something to do with the education he received in his two lifetimes, right?He still admires Sun Yat-sen very much.

After sitting down, Sun Yat-sen smiled and said, "It is an honor for Sun Wen to have subordinates like you in this life. Sit down, let's all sit down. We are all our own people here today, so don't be polite."

Seeing everyone sitting down, Sun Yat-sen smiled again: "Fuwen, Xiaobei is your wedding today, I will give you the presents first, and Qingling will bring the books."
