Chapter 321 The general election is over

Taking advantage of the Russian Civil War, the Wehrmacht swept across the Far East in the name of protecting overseas Chinese. The movement was so fast that it was beyond the expectations of the great powers. The friction between China and Japan cannot be explained at all.

Yijuyuan encountered a disastrous encounter with Sun Baoqi. Sun Baoqi did not accept the Japanese government's protest. In turn, he protested that the Japanese government violated the intervention agreement (a verbal agreement that neither China nor Japan signed) and obstructed the National Defense Force's action to protect overseas Chinese.

China and Japan began to quarrel, each with their own reasons. On September 20, two Japanese divisions and two heavy artillery brigades reinforced Vladivostok. The front completed the landing, and the rear 22nd Division withdrew and retracted its two armies.

Chengzi, and telegraphed to the General Staff that the Japanese army was approaching fiercely, and our division was temporarily retreating to prevent any eventuality.

The General Staff of the National Defense Forces immediately telegraphed Qi Zhenghong in Chita that two Class A divisions from Harbin would take advantage of the convenience of the Middle East Railway to reinforce Shuangchengzi. Although the Chinese and Japanese armies did not say they were going to fight, the confrontation was obvious. The National Defense Forces guarded Shuangchengzi Fortress.

The Northeastern troops began to gather in Harbin and Andong. Such a big movement must not be concealed. Soon Japan knew that the Republic of China had assembled eight divisions of troops in Harbin, plus some artillery, with a total of less than 200,000 people.

On the Andong side, at least ten divisions were concentrated, with great momentum to fight across the Yalu River. On the 21st, two Japanese aircraft crossed the Yalu River for reconnaissance, and one was shot down by a Republic of China aircraft. The one that escaped brought back bad news.

There are at least five heavy artillery positions on the other side. According to the establishment of the People's Liberation Army, these are five heavy artillery regiments.

China and Japan continued to gossip on the issue of the Far East, and the media of both countries criticized each other in newspapers. In time for the general election of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang took advantage of the Sino-Japanese conflict and criticized the Republicans in the newspapers for their dissatisfaction on foreign affairs issues.

He calmly believes that maintaining a friendly relationship between China and Japan is conducive to the economic and people's livelihood development of the Republic of China. It is unwise to conflict with Japan. The Progressive Party and the United Party, both of which are also opposition parties, have also expressed their respective opinions on this issue.

Worry. In contrast, the voices in the Japanese press are relatively uniform, and they all criticize China.

On September 21st, the general election of the Republic of China began, and provincial councils elected members of Congress. The Chinese government was facing a period of general elections, and the Japanese cabinet was also facing the eve of its collapse.

In such a delicate environment, Fang Jianxiong's special train returned to Beijing. When the special train stopped at Lanzhou Station, a group of senior officials from the Lanzhou Military Region, led by Duan Qirui, were waiting at the station. In the past few years in the west, Duan Qirui and

He did not become decadent because he left the center. Instead, he spent several years in Lanzhou. On the one hand, he led his troops to build roads and achieve self-sufficiency in food. On the other hand, he vigorously eliminated banditry and stabilized the place. In short, Duan Qirui did a good job. There were often some troubles in history.

In the northwest, under Duan Qirui's strong military pressure and local government governance, there have been no major disturbances in the past few years.

The special train stopped, and Fang Jianxiong got off the train and shook hands with the military and political officials one by one. During this trip to Yumen, he caught up with an oil well producing oil. The daily crude oil output is 1.5 tons. To be honest, this output is a bit shabby. But it is better than

Nothing good. Before the Republic of China, there was only one Yanchang Oilfield, which was produced using local methods. The daily output was less than one meal, which was even more miserable.

"Mr. Zhi, let's go for a walk together." After a brief interlude, Fang Jianxiong asked Duan Qirui to walk a few steps inside the station. In fact, he wanted to talk alone. The Republic of China now faces a very delicate situation. As far as the general election is concerned, unification

The party has a considerable advantage in Jiangsu. The Progressive Party has one or two positions in each province. The Kuomintang has an absolute advantage in Guangdong and also has some seats in each province. Wang Jingwei ambitiously stated before the election that the Democratic Party will win in this election.

Will strive to obtain one-third of the seats in Congress.

Once the Democratic Party wins the general election, Sun, who is still in Japan, will return to China as the leader of the party and take office as president. Of course, this possibility is impossible in this general election.

After the two walked side by side for a while, Duan Qirui couldn't help but said: "In the Republic of China election, the opposition parties used the Far East incident to criticize President Sun and the cabinet. We must be on guard against this matter." Fang Jianxiong laughed and said nothing.

Duan Qirui said with a bitter smile: "Fuguo, I never understand why you keep those opposition parties who are specifically trying to cause trouble for you."

With Fang Jianxiong's current strength, he can definitely take drastic measures to kill the opposition. Duan Qirui is a hint of this.

"Zhi Lao, the consequences of losing power supervision are too serious. Therefore, although these people will be a hindrance if they remain, their existence objectively plays a positive role. In the Republic of China today, the Communist Party officials are the residents of the Democratic Party.

It is true that the Director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Zhang Binglin, is a non-party person. With these two sharp swords hanging over his head, the central and even local governments will have a sense of crisis." Fang Jianxiong explained with a smile. Duan Qirui disagreed but did not say much.

"Mr. Zhi, after the election, you probably need to change places." Fang Jianxiong revealed the inside story, and Duan Qirui understood in his heart that although he was displeased, he did not resist. No matter who was in the position, they would make some similar actions.

"Fuguo, where do you want me to go?" Duan Qirui quickly figured it out and even admired Fang Jianxiong's arrangement.

"Come on, Mr. Zhi, just pick one of the major military regions." Fang Jianxiong replied with a smile. Duan Qirui thought about it and said, "How about the Northeast?"

Fang Jianxiong was stunned for a moment, then he quickly smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhi is still as ambitious as before, and he is still brave, so I'll leave it to him to take care of the Far East."

Duan Qirui laughed loudly and said: "Thank you Fuguo for giving Duan a chance to command his troops in the Far East and regain the lost territory. I will have no regrets in this life." This was Duan Qirui's true words, thinking of being able to lead his troops to take back the territory ceded by the late Qing Dynasty.

, Duan Qirui felt a strong and strong feeling.

Fang Jianxiong did not stay long in Lanzhou. When he continued on the road, the train passed through Xi'an and Zhengzhou and returned to Beijing. The general election of the Republic of China was over. The Republican Party once again won 352 of the 589 seats in Congress and won the election. The opposition parties were also here.

In the second general election, Zhang Jian

The United Party led by the United Party unexpectedly won 92 seats. The Kuomintang failed to achieve the results it had hoped for and only won 77 seats. The Progressive Party led by Liang Qichao won 68 seats. Compared with the previous general election, the Kuomintang

Not only is there no progress, but it is regressing.

Sun Baoqi was re-elected as president, and Tang Hualong formed a cabinet again. Fang Jianxiong returned to Beijing late at night on the 26th. On this day, the Japanese cabinet of Masaichi Terauchi announced his resignation. The Hara Kei cabinet made its debut and formally proposed to Britain, the United States and France to mediate the Sino-Japanese dispute and restore the order of intervention in the Far East as soon as possible.

.

After a long journey back to Beijing, when Fang Jianxiong was still sleeping in bed early the next morning, the re-elected presidents Sun Baoqi and Tang Hualong had already arrived at Fang's house.

When the two people and the car were stable, Qi Erzhu, who was on duty at the door, ran forward to open the door and said without any hesitation: "Hello, President."

Sun Baoqi asked with a smile: "Has Fuguo ever gotten up?" At this time, Tang Hualong also got off the car, his expression unable to conceal his joy.

"Fushuai is still resting. I will go and report right now." Qi Erzhu hurriedly wanted to go in, but Sun Baoqi stopped him and said: "No, I can wait for a while." It is really rare for this word to come from the mouth of the president. In fact,

Anyone with a discerning eye knows who is actually in charge of the Republic of China government.

As far as the Republican Party is concerned, the power of party affairs lies in the hands of Secretary-General Zheng Quan, the power of finance lies in the hands of Li Muyan, and the power of propaganda lies in the hands of Han Yan. Whether it is Sun Baoqi or Tang Hualong, it is okay to have an Anxin in his position and do his own thing.

If you want to interfere in party affairs and party assets without peace of mind, you will definitely hit a wall.

Qi Erzhu was not polite and invited the two of them to sit in the living room, but did not go in immediately to report. However, Lu Bicheng, the financial manager of the Fang family who got up earlier in the morning, immediately called Qi Erzhu and reprimanded him after hearing about the previous incident: "

presumptuous!"

After saying that, without giving any explanation, he left Qi Erzhu behind and walked to the backyard. Lu Bicheng's status in Fangzhai was very special and he had no status. However, he was in charge of all Fang Jianxiong's properties in the United States and went to the United States regularly every year, always spending half the year there.

On the way or staying in the United States. I happened to have just returned from the United States. Fang Jianxiong has come back, and he hasn't had time to report the results of the American industry.

At the entrance of Dou Qingmei's yard, the maid was stopped by Lu Bicheng. She was almost forty years old, and she dressed up in a coquettish way, so she received some resistance. Qiu Ju was quite nice, but Dou Qingmei was very rude.

Lu Bicheng was not angry at such treatment. She turned around and went to the yard of Yin Ruizhi, a feminist fighter with whom she had a good relationship, and told her what had happened. After hearing this, Yin Ruizhi immediately followed her, but the maid tried to stop her again, and Yin Ruizhi's face changed.

Shen said: "Get out of the way!" With a scolding, the maid did not dare to give up. Yin and Lu came in. The maids had already run in, waking up Dou Qingmei, who had given Fang a lot of trouble last night, and took their colleagues with them.

Qiu Ju, who had been lying on the bed for a while, also woke up.

"What's going on? It's early in the morning. Don't you know that the young master slept late last night? Do you still understand the rules?" The two women got up together and stepped out carefully, not daring to wake up Fang Jianxiong. Qiu Ju was very annoyed and glared.

He glanced at the maid who came in to call for someone. Even though she usually had no temper, she had to involve Fang Jianxiong, so it was not so easy to talk. Speaking of which, in this family, Qiu Ju was the only one who called Fang Jianxiong "young master", and no one else had the qualifications to call him "young master".

Dou Qingmei was also very angry. Just when she was about to get angry with the maid, Yin Ruizhi walked in and said loudly: "It's not the fault of the maid, it's me."

For a moment, there were quite a few sparks in the eyes of the four women in Fangzhai.

"I don't know about national affairs. I only know that the young master's health is important. He is busy every day and comes all the way back. Why can't An Sheng rest?" Qiu Ju said in anger, standing up.

"President Sun is a teacher in Fuguo. My sister doesn't know it. Is it possible that the teacher is waiting outside while the students sleep at home? How unbecoming is this?" Yin Ruizhi was full of momentum and was not afraid at all. This Fang family's backyard was faintly like a
