Chapter 66: Surabaya Case (Part 2)

History is like this, many things are difficult to reverse!

China is extremely weak. Even though the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been overthrown and the Republic of China is preparing to establish a republican system, the contempt of local countries has not changed. It can be said that the Chinese people at this moment are like a powder keg, and their anger can be ignited at any time.

"Everyone, together with all the members of the Government Affairs Committee of the Autonomous Region and the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces, General Fang Jianxiong, jointly call me to inform the world. I am shocked to hear about the case of bullying of overseas Chinese in Surabaya, the Netherlands. All citizens of the Autonomous Region and the top and bottom of the National Defense Force are like family members.

My body, my heart is ached, my heart is burning with righteous indignation. My fellow overseas Chinese, your pain is the pain of our 40 million people, and your anger is the anger of our 40 million people. The common aspiration of the autonomous region and the national defense force is,

, requiring the interim government to make the strongest statement! Second, within a three-day deadline, all Dutch nationals and ships within the jurisdiction of the autonomous region will leave, and their stores will be forced to close. Third, within a three-day deadline, if the Dutch government cannot resolve the case

To make a satisfactory solution to the overseas Chinese in our Dutch territory, the National Defense Force will form a maritime military task force and send troops to Surabaya to defend the rights of the overseas Chinese in our territory. Fourth, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force, General Fang Jianxiong, will leave for Nanjing tonight to meet with the temporary

On behalf of President Sun, we will discuss the final solution to this case."

Wang Zhengting had read the telegram before and was shaking with excitement. He finally calmed down. When the media relayed the telegram, he still couldn't help but tremble with excitement again. His nose and tears could not be controlled.

It is so hard for a Chinese to imagine this feeling when the world announces such news!

The thin telegram weighed a thousand pounds in his hand. He almost exhausted his last strength. Wang Zhengting finished reading the telegram. He held the table with both hands and burst into tears!

Not to mention Wang Zhengting's trembling lips when he recited it, the domestic newspaper reporters in the media in the audience also trembled with excitement when they heard such a declaration. Now there are waves of slight commotion, if not for the worry of interrupting Wang Zhengting's speech

After reading the cable, the reporters were all trying to restrain their emotions. The scene had already exploded.

The scene did not explode immediately, and many reporters recorded the last words with tears. Finally, a miserable wail sounded at the scene. The president of the market, the leader of the squad, collapsed on the ground, beat his chest and feet, and howled.

He said: "China, a huge country with a civilization of five thousand years, has suffered such humiliation when the Republic of China is just around the corner and the whole country is celebrating. I wish I could have been born in the Han and Tang Dynasties. I wish I could cross the sea with a gun." At this point, everyone

All reporters in the country howled. The excited ones beat their chests and beat their feet, with tears streaming down their faces. The rational ones shed tears and lowered their heads, feeling dejected.

"Commander Fang, on behalf of myself and all the members of the newspaper, I kowtow to you! Please help those wandering overseas to relieve the evil spirit that has accumulated for hundreds of years."

After shouting, the squad leader turned his head to the northwest. There were three "dong-dong-dong" sounds! He grabbed the ground with his head, and the blood flowed. It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength. This move immediately attracted countless reporters to follow suit, and they knelt down in solemn silence.

Kowtow.

Crazy! Crazy! The entire Shanghai art world is crazy!

Everyone remembers this day. March 26, 1911. Newspapers throughout Shanghai were issuing supplements, reporting the same thing. Except for foreign newspapers, all Chinese newspapers were extremely consistent, and the reports were all based on

Support the communication issued by the joint autonomous region government and the National Defense Force.

The name of Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces Fang Jianxiong once again made the headlines in newspapers across the country.

"This is the first Chinese local government and army to dare to threaten Western countries with force since the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. Their leader's name is Fang Jianxiong. History will remember this name!" He has always been neutral.

The newspaper "Shenbao" commented like this on the headline!

Not to mention other newspapers, which published more intense comments one after another. After the market leader, who had always supported Marshal Fang, put on a good show at the press conference, the president's team leader once again took matters into his own hands.

Headline comment: From now on, overseas Chinese have a backbone. From now on, the National Defense Force can be called the backbone of the nation!

In the eyes of some people on the opposite side, these remarks were extremely flattering, but no one dared to raise objections after this. At most, like some northern newspapers, they said: Are you taking advantage of the situation to win people's hearts, or is this true?

Yes, wait and see!

The overwhelming positive reports overwhelmed the two provisional governments in the north and the south. No one expected that Marshal Fang would be so sharp. Beiyang did not expect that Fang Jianxiong would go crazy again. Nanjing did not expect that Fang Jianxiong would come to Nanjing to discuss cooperation.

response measures.

Just as the North and the South were struggling to deal with the massive media campaign, on the afternoon of the 28th, Fang Jianxiong arrived at the Xiaguan Pier in Nanjing aboard the naval battleship "Hairong".

The Nanjing Provisional Government organized a welcome ceremony, but things went beyond the expectations of some people. Originally, it was expected that there would be a great scene of only ten or twenty thousand people. After the news came out, the streets of Nanjing were deserted and the Xiaguan Pier was crowded.

One hundred thousand Nanjing people spontaneously went to the pier to welcome him, and two hundred thousand Nanjing people spontaneously took to the streets, waiting along the way to welcome Commander Fang.

Students from various schools in Nanjing, the National Women's Federation, the National Red Cross and other organizations gathered at Xiaguan Pier and held up banners to warmly welcome Commander Fang to Nanjing again. On this day, Nanjing City's red cloth, red paper, colored paper and other materials,

It’s hard to buy something with money. I heard that many shops just charge the cost price directly to welcome Marshal Fang, and some even confiscated the money on impulse because their brains were temporarily pinched by the door.

All in all, the citizens of Nanjing were going crazy. When they heard that Marshal Fang was coming to Nanjing, they were all fired up.

The common people don't have so many thoughts in their minds, and they will treat whoever is good to them. When the Anhui army was in Nanjing, the story of a man who did not take the common people's needle and thread, and slept on the streets at night in order not to disturb the people, still remains today.

It has been recited endlessly among the people.

Now that Commander Fang is back in Nanjing, the people of Nanjing who have been harmed by the civilian armies from all over the country seem to have found an outlet for their emotions, which burst out in an instant. In their hearts, the vast majority of the people probably hope that Commander Fang’s National Defense Forces can return to Nanjing. Those messed up

The militiamen from all over the country should get out of Nanjing.

The "Hairong" docked slowly. Standing on the edge of the pier and watching the crowds of people, Sun Yixian had a complex expression. When he came to Nanjing, the scene seemed not as good as this, but it was not much different. The Chinese people always hope that through the change of dynasty,

If nothing else, it would be better to change their destiny by changing the person in charge. They don't have high requirements, as long as they can have enough food and clothing.

However, after a few months, the Nanjing people's disappointment with the provisional government probably reached a critical point. After the militiamen from all over the country came to Nanjing, tens of thousands of people went without pay and food, and harassment of the local area became inevitable. The lighter ones got free of charge.

Drinking, in serious cases, kills people and robs money. Some officials even live in brothels without leaving, eating and whoring for free. The people of Nanjing can be angry but dare not speak out.

This situation did not change until the money was borrowed. However, the gossipy newspapers still reported the matter and made up their own secrets, saying that Commander Fang did not want to see the suffering of the people of Nanjing, so he helped to borrow money. Anyway, the newspapers were talking nonsense.

, not once or twice.

The battleship finally docked. Before Sun Yat-sen stepped forward, he saw that everyone on the left and right looked pale, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fang Fuguo was only in his early twenties, and he only went to Nanjing alone. How could these people be so scared? In fact, Sun was wrong. He

These people around me are just seeing the support of the people. With serious military deficiencies and no support from the people, how can the Tongmenghui organization compete with the other two parties in the country? How can it be the leader in domestic politics?

"Hey!" Song Jiaoren, who firmly advocates the cabinet system, is currently actively planning to establish the Kuomintang and strive for victory in the cabinet election. Seeing this scene today, I can't help feeling anxious. I sighed!

As the dock was busy, Sun Yixian turned around and asked: "Fisherman, why are you sighing?" Song Jiaoren said bitterly: "When I went to Hankou to interview Fang, he once said that in the future Republic of China, someone like Yuan would be the president, and Yixian

It must be checked and balanced by the cabinet system. The sound is still in my ears, the sound is still in my ears!" In fact, the whole text is not like this, Song Jiaoren just said it selectively.

When Sun Yixian heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, smiled, and stepped forward. He thought to himself, I want to see how you, Fang Fuguo, face me, the acting interim president.

Fang Jianxiong's tall body appeared on the deck, and his tall figure was easy to spot. Sun Zhi kept his smile very well, but his color changed instantly, and he struggled to regain his composure. The reason was simple. There was a sudden cheer like a landslide and tsunami on the dock.

Voice!

"Long live the National Defense Force!" "Welcome Commander Fang to Nanjing!" I don't know which bastard was the first to shout so twice. Suddenly no other sound could be heard on the entire pier. The people of Nanjing went crazy and tried to pull away.

Shout these two sentences in your throat.

After Fang Jianxiong on the battleship heard the cheers, his first reaction was to freeze up. Facing the scene of hundreds of thousands of people cheering like this, his heart was swaying and he could not suppress his excitement. After calming down and taking a deep breath, Fang Jianxiong took a step forward.

When you get off the pedal, you stand upright and salute 180 degrees.

Amid the cheers, Fang Jianxiong finally walked in front of Sun Yat-sen, and now unexpectedly fell silent automatically.

"Fang Jianxiong, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces, has met the interim president! Salute!" Fang Jianxiong stood at attention with his chest straightened out without hesitation, raised his hands in salute, and spoke loudly!

The voice was loud and could be heard within fifty meters of the scene. Probably no one thought that Fang Jianxiong would appear in front of Sun Yat-sen in this way and be called the interim president!

At this moment, looking at the heroic Fang Jianxiong, Sun's heart felt like a hot current running through his body, and he felt an uncontrollable excitement.

"Fuguo, you have worked hard all the way!" Sun Yixian spoke after his lips trembled slightly for a while.
Chapter completed!
