Beijing, Zhongnanhai, cabinet meeting scene.

"Since the end of the European War, there will be a relatively long period of peace. As far as Asia is concerned, the stability of Sino-Japanese relations will ensure a stable external environment for the country in the future. During the next five-year term, economic development will become an overriding priority.

The center of everything." The person who was speaking was Prime Minister Tang Hualong. He did a good job in the last term. This term, he is even more ambitious, striving to bring the national economy to a higher level and strive for the position of the next president.

In today's domestic political situation, the dominance of the Republican Party is difficult to change in a short time. If one party has been in power for a long time, disadvantages are inevitable. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the long-term rule of the Republican Party can guarantee the long-term policy. According to the Constitution revised in 2014

, determined that in 1933 the president would be elected by a national popular vote, instead of the current election, where each political party competes for seats in various levels of parliament to determine the right to govern.

This meeting is of great significance. Ministers from all cabinet departments attended the meeting, as did President Sun Baoqi and Chairman of the Military Commission Fang Jianxiong. Of course, Fang Jianxiong would not speak at this meeting, but Sun Baoqi could give guidance from the position of the president.

Jiangshan. The core idea of ​​this meeting is to strive for a stable environment externally and to develop economy, education, and science and technology internally. Without a stable internal and external environment, how can we talk about development? In view of this, Wang Zhengting and Jiang Fangzhen’s visit to Japan

trip.

After Tang Hualong spoke, Sun Baoqi took over and said: "My colleagues, first of all I want to tell you some good news. Foreign Minister Wang Rutang telegraphed that the implementation of the visit to Japan has yielded huge gains. The Japanese government has agreed to fully evacuate Lushun before the end of the year at the latest. China and Japan

We will jointly maintain peace in the Far East and jointly develop the oil on Sakhalin Island. This afternoon, Foreign Minister Wang Rutang will sign a memorandum of friendship and cooperation between China and Japan with Japanese Foreign Minister Uchida..."

Fang Jianxiong, who had been silent, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this. After the establishment of the new cabinet, some voices emerged within the Republican Party, mainly targeting Fang Jianxiong. Wang Zhengting was one of those who made the voice, meaning "Everyone"

When it comes to national affairs, the president and prime minister must first consult the chairman. Once this becomes a routine, it may not be a blessing for the Republic of China. It means that Marshal Fang has been involved in politics, which will not be good for the country in the long run.

This kind of voice was initially made by the opposition party and gradually affected the Republican Party. There is no doubt that this is a very targeted plan. The purpose is to weaken Fang Jianxiong's influence on this country. Seize him first.

Political power, Xu Tuzhi's military power. Anyway, this is the rhythm, which is pretty good. The Zhi Gong Party led by Cen Chunxuan and Chen Jiongming even proposed that the Republic of China should adopt a federal system, that is, autonomy for each province.

After Congress reviewed and passed the new press bill, various noises became rampant, mainly attacking the press bill, believing that this bill deprived people of their freedom of speech. The general meaning is that some people want to say whatever they want, but you can't control them.

.

In the past, officials could tell stories based on rumors. Regardless of whether what they said was right or not, they would not be punished for whatever they said. In the era of feudal centralization, this system was beneficial to the emperor. In the Republic of China, it was okay to talk nonsense. The Press Act is

For this reason, some people have become accustomed to talking casually, and if they are suddenly not allowed to talk, they will naturally jump.

The press bill can be said to be the most controversial bill since the Republican Party took office.

With Fang Jianxiong present, the meeting went smoothly and all issues were passed smoothly, including the increase in the number of government-sponsored overseas students from 3,000 to 5,000 each year. You must know that this is a huge education expenditure.

In recent years, more and more students have gone abroad to study abroad. There are three main ways, one is government-sponsored, the other is private education funds, and the third is students selected by each province. The last one has a relatively small number.

"Since the Republican Party came to power, the number of students sent abroad has reached more than 30,000 in the past five years. Many of the early students sent abroad have returned to serve in China..." Cai Yuanpei is very proud. As the Minister of Education, he has had the best life in the past few years.

The state provides the strongest support, has more funds in hand, and has a strong backbone.

After Cai Yuanpei finished speaking, Finance Minister Xiong Xiling suddenly raised his hand and asked to speak. After receiving the consent of the meeting host Sun Baoqi, Xiong Xiling coughed and said in an amplified tone: "The national fiscal revenue statistics for the first half of the year are out. The total is 2 billion 58,000.

Ten thousand yuan, in the early years, this was equivalent to one billion taels of silver. The country's fiscal situation is generally good, but there are many problems. Since the power of currency issuance is not in the hands of the Ministry of Finance, it is difficult for the cabinet to promote the policy of issuing additional currency.

Economic development. I think this matter should be given enough attention, otherwise the Ministry of Finance will not be able to bear the blame for the economic downturn in the future."

When Xiong Xiling was talking vigorously, he suddenly heard a bang, and the dignified Minister of Finance was interrupted. Everyone looked at the sound, and Marshal Fang slapped the table and shouted angrily: "If you can't bear the responsibility, just ask

Resign the cabinet!”

After this move, the whole hall was silent! After a while, Cai Yuanpei stood up and said: "Support the country, be careful what you say! This is a big plan for the country!"

Fang Jianxiong glanced at Cai Yuanpei with a sneer, and said calmly: "Xiong Bingsan is ignorant of economics. I think he is not suitable to stay as the Minister of Finance. It is better to resign voluntarily." Marshal Fang's attitude is so tough, it is really

Everyone in the room was shocked. Fang Jianxiong had always attended cabinet meetings and never expressed an opinion. He just listened quietly. No one thought of his actions today. It was like listening to thunder in silence.

"Fang Fuguo, I am the cabinet minister of finance. Is it appropriate for you to ask me to resign based on just one word?" Xiong Xiling's beard trembled in anger, and he suppressed his emotions and did not curse.

Fang Jianxiong looked around with a sneer, forcing everyone to dare not look at each other, and then said: "Excuse me, Minister of Finance Xiong Bingsan, does the right to issue currency lie in the hands of the Ministry of Finance? Does it really have that much to do with the country's economic development? The United States is currently the world's economy.

The most powerful country, I would like to ask Minister Byeongsan, is the Federal Reserve under the fiscal jurisdiction of the United States? Furthermore, you have seen that currency shortage affects the development of the economy, but you cannot see why it leads to currency shortage. You are short-sighted and dare to make nonsense about the relationship between currency and economy.

If Fang is here, who dares to claim to know more about economics than Fang?"

There is no doubt that Xiong Xiling touched Fang Jianxiong's bottom line. The reason for this happening is naturally that Fang Jianxiong has been extremely low-key in government affairs in recent years, which led some people to think that they could challenge and test Fang's bottom line. Unexpectedly, he was the first to jump out.

Xiong Xiling received such a sharp counterattack from Fang Jianxiong.

Xiong Xiling stood there blankly. He wanted to refute Fang Jianxiong, but soon found that he didn't know how to refute it. When Fang Jianxiong was still in Wuhu, he had already done something very impressive. Later, the four provinces united for self-government, and the economy along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River

It is leading the country, even surpassing traditional big players such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, Sun Baoqi coughed quickly and said: "Fuguo, this matter can be discussed again." Sun Baoqi came out to make peace, and Fang Jianxiong unexpectedly said without giving up: "President, I will propose to Congress to impeach Xiong Bingsan for his incompetence.

."

There was no room for turning things around now. When Sun Baoqi was left speechless, there was a bang, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Chen Guofu rushed in and shouted: "Fushuai, something happened, Chief of General Staff Chiang Kai-shek was assassinated in Japan.

"

The scene immediately became chaotic. Jiang Fangzhen was assassinated during his visit to Japan. The news was too shocking. Fang Jianxiong did not bother to continue to attack Xiong Xiling. He rushed up and grabbed the telegram and read it carefully, but the telegram read: At 16 o'clock, Baili Yu News

Assassinated at the press conference.

Gu Weijun, who was about to succeed Wang Zhengting as the foreign minister of the Republic of China, rushed in from outside at this time, holding a telegram in his hand and whispered: "At four o'clock this afternoon, Foreign Minister Wang and Foreign Minister Uchida jointly held a press conference. At this moment, they were dressed as reporters and suddenly launched an attack.

, Chief of General Staff of Chiang Kai-shek pushed Foreign Minister Wang away in time. He was hit by a bullet and is being sent to Tokyo Hospital for emergency treatment."

Fang Jianxiong subconsciously looked at his watch. The time was already four-thirty, which meant that the news came in time.

The Foreign Minister of the Republic of China Wang Zhengting and the Chief of General Staff Jiang Fangzhen were assassinated during their visit to Japan, which shocked the world. The Military Commission of the Republic of China issued a three-level combat readiness order at 6 pm that day. All units in the Northeast and Far East should be prepared for combat. Northeast Military Region

An order was issued that all troops visiting relatives must return to their troops immediately.

At 10 p.m. on September 30, the 18th Infantry Division of the National Defense Force of the Northeast Military Region marched south and arrived in Gaizhou early the next morning to threaten Lushun. The 4th, 5th, and 6th Infantry Divisions, which were being reorganized, arrived at the bank of the Yalu River and stationed themselves in Chi.

The main force of Ta's Far East Military Region urgently dispatched an infantry division eastward to the Shuangchengzi Fortress.

Seeing that peace in Asia was about to come, the atmosphere suddenly became tense due to a sudden assassination.

In the Marshal's Mansion, the atmosphere in Fang Jianxiong's office was not as serious as it looked from the outside. President Sun Baoqi, Prime Minister Tang Hualong, and Acting Foreign Minister Gu Weijun were all present.

"This incident was probably done by Japanese radicals, with the intention of provoking a dispute between China and Japan. After the Kei Hara cabinet came to power, it focused on reducing the number of troops involved in the Far East and improving relations with China. This move undoubtedly stimulated Japan

Radicals.

"Gu Weijun talked eloquently and seemed quite grand. Originally, Wang Zhengting would resign after his visit to Japan and be appointed as the Ambassador of the Republic of China to the United States. However, the situation suddenly changed. The president and the cabinet immediately signed an order. Gu Weijun took the post of Acting Foreign Minister and had full authority to handle the case.

.

Chen Guofu came in in a hurry, holding a telegram and saying: "Fu Shuai, President, Prime Minister, Japan is calling. The operation went smoothly and we are not out of danger yet. The good news is that the bullet did not penetrate the heart and there was no fatal blow.

"
