Chapter 1210, split
This time Feng Guozhang died, and Li Houji returned from Taiwan in the name of returning to the mainland to attend the funeral for Feng Guozhang. This is of course understandable. After all, Feng Guozhang is not too fond of Li Houji, and he is the Prime Minister of the Beiyang Democratic Party. As a loyal supporter of the Beiyang Democratic Party, it is certainly possible to come back to attend the funeral.
However, during this trip, Li Houji was not as simple as attending the funeral. Since Feng Guozhang's death, the Beiyang Gong Party has been divided into two forces. One of them has always been consistent with Feng Guozhang. Their purpose is very simple to consolidate the strength of the Beiyang faction and continue to make their own contributions to the stability and prosperity of the country. Then the other one is represented by Li Houji. Although it only occupies a very small strength in the Beiyang Democratic Party, it has great ambitions and is not satisfied with the ability to preserve the strength of the Beiyang faction. It is hoped that the Beiyang faction can continue to control the state power and gain absolute leadership.
"Our Beiyang faction has been fighting for the country since Beiyang. If China can achieve today, our Beiyang faction has made great contributions. Now that China is prosperous and stable, we want to deprive our Beiyang faction of only power. This is really unreasonable." Someone began to complain.
"Yes, the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook, and the birds are full of good bows. This kind of thing cannot happen to our Beiyang faction."
"It is really despised to kill donkeys when you break the mill and destroy bridges when you cross the river."
"Yes, they don't give us a way out, and we don't let them live a better life."
…………
Someone took the lead, complaining, anger, call, etc. kept ringing in the room
"Everyone, calm down. What we are discussing now is not the time for us to complain." Li Houji saw the reaction of everyone. This is the effect he wanted. As long as the people of the Beiyang Democratic Party are fully mobilized, they can use the power of the Beiyang Democratic Party to force Wu Shaoting to submit. If this matter can be accomplished, Li Houji is confident that his political career will be opened.
"We will declare war with the National Government without doing anything," said a deputy division-level officer, who stood up and said, and put the gun on his waist directly on the table to show his determination.
"This is not possible. We Beiyang is just to preserve the power and space for our development. If we declare war directly with the National Government, it is very likely that our Beiyang faction will overthrow the reactionary forces. The motherland has finally stabilized, so we must not do this." The Beiyang faction is patriotic, so it is impossible for the Beiyang faction to do things that harm the interests of the country. This is also the main reason why Wu Shaoting knew that there are many people with heart in the Beiyang faction, but it is the main reason why he turned a blind eye to the other side of the Beiyang faction.
"No, just negotiate with the National Government to ensure that the National Government will not weaken the strength of our Beiyang faction and provide corresponding real power to us Beiyang faction to ensure that our Beiyang faction can not be violated by anyone." Then someone suggested
"It is impossible, we cannot propose such negotiations with the National Government. First, it is very likely that we have such intentions. If this move is very likely that the National Government will take measures against us directly and secretly, and they will also prepare them. Once they are prepared, if we want to take action, it will be impossible. Second, the National Government will not agree to the content of our negotiations. If we know that Wu Shaoting himself is a powerhouse, he would not have become the head of state at a young age. If he knew that we had a different intention, he would definitely suppress it without hesitation."
Lee Houji spoke, refuted someone else's proposal and calmly analyzed
"Can we just sit there and wait for death?" This is not possible, that is not possible. Some people really can't sit still.
"Everyone, of course we have no choice. We are invited here today just to make everyone mentally prepared. We cannot just watch our Beiyang faction decline." Li Houji said confidently. Although the people in front of him did not play a big role, as long as they have their public opinion support, Li Houji can create chaos and then wait for an opportunity to move.
"Okay, General Li, we believe in you. As long as you can lead our Beiyang faction to continue to become stronger, we will support you to become our Prime Minister." There was Li Houji's confidant in the crowd. At the critical moment, he finally stated the main purpose of convening everyone's meeting. He wanted to protect the strength of Beiyang faction on the surface, and then finally help Li Houji to obtain the position of Prime Minister of the Beiyang Democratic Party, and even a political peak that may help Li Houji to reach.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Soon, everyone agreed that their purpose was very simple to protect their rights and interests. They would not care about who is the Prime Minister of the Beiyang Gong Party and would not make too many requests at inappropriate times.
"Everyone, don't worry, I will definitely give my all my strength to the Beiyang Gong Party." Li Houji stood up and said in a summary.
There were some debates on details, but they were not the main force of this action, so they were just arguing on the surface and did not take too much substantial action.
Li Houji's original goal has been achieved. This Beiyang force is now centered on itself. As long as it is made good use of it, its goal will be achieved soon.
Although Wang Yun has been secretly monitoring the movements of various domestic forces, Feng Guozhang's death has caused a lot of inconvenience to his work.
Many people came to Nanjing under the name of attending funerals. Wang Yun could not stop them from attending funerals, but after attending funerals, various forces must have met. Wang Yun's main energy is still watching the movements of the senior management.
Li Houji does not have a particularly high status in the Beiyang Gong Party, so Wang Yun did not pay too much attention, so he missed Li Houji's ulterior motives party.
After some people from the Beiyang Gong Party left, Li Houji did not rush to leave. Instead, he was still in the villa with a few confidants, as if he was waiting for someone.
"Sir, the person is here." A man in a black suit, knew he was an iron-blooded soldier at a glance, and said softly in Li Houji's ear.
"Okay, please come in." Li Houji subconsciously became nervous or not. The key to success this time is that the person is here.
"General Li, we meet again." The person who came was none other than the US Ambassador to China Lai Yinshi
It seems that the United States can't finally let go of China's interests in Washington's plan, which prevents the United States from achieving its expected goals, which makes the United States want to cause some trouble for China.
"Mr. Ambassador, you are late, this does not conform to your Americans' good habit of observing time." Li Houji said a little unhappy. The thing she hates the most is that Americans cooperate with him this time, but because his status in the National Government is not very high, Americans always look at themselves with a high attitude.
"Haha... General Li, don't be angry, my sincerity will not be late." Lai Yinshi did not mind Li Houji's unhappy attitude, and sat down without hesitation.
"But I didn't see too much sincerity in you." Lee Houji was still a little unhappy and signaled that the people around him would go down. Of course, the fewer people know about such confidential matters, the better.
"Our best agents have lost all for your great cause. Can't this still highlight our sincerity?" Lai Yinshi looked very arrogant while drinking small tea.
"Hmph, if you don't say this, I'll be angry when I say this, I'll lose my life even if I can't do anything. This is what you call ace agent, and it exposed us all at once." Lee Houji said unhappily, looking down on her face.
"If this is not the case, how can it disturb the sight of your National Government? How can you help you plan the next turmoil? This is our good intention." Lai Yinshi said innocently, and lit a cigar as he said.
"Hmph, but I still need your help this time." Lee Houji didn't bother with these problems too much, because he knew that the United States could not help him so simply. Although he had not made his own request yet, Lee Houji felt that there was no need to give Americans a good face at all. They were using each other.
Lai Yinshi smiled slightly, "General Li, please say, as long as we can do it." Lai Yinshi had already made a clear idea in his heart. Li Houji could not have done too much. Could it be that the United States could directly send troops to help him establish his own Beiyang government
The reason why the United States supports Lee Houji is not too confident, but just to make Lee Houji cause some trouble in China. This will make the United States feel a little more psychologically, otherwise it would not be so arrogant to Lee Houji. If Lee Houji makes any excessive demands, the US government will not agree.
"I want a special pardon from the United States. Even if I fail at home, I think the United States extraditions me to the United States through diplomatic means and ensures that I can enjoy the rest of my life safely in the United States." Li Houji's request was not planned, but could be considered shameless. He actually thought of a way out for himself and then asked others to work hard for himself. Moreover, this is an obvious betrayal of the country. If the people of the Beiyang Gong Party knew about it, they would probably not support Li Houji to do so.
"Okay, but I need to contact our government in advance. I can't take full control." Lai Yinshi agreed. Although he agreed now, Lai Yinshi did not say that he must do it.
In fact, Lai Yinshi despises Li Houji, who sells national interests and openly betrays the motherland. Anyway, this matter is definitely not so fast. By then, the matter is likely to be exposed, and the United States cannot agree to Li Houji's request. If it agrees, there will be no silver here. Isn't it directly that the United States supports Li Houji doing this?
"Okay, I hope we can cooperate happily." Lee Houji received a positive answer from Lai Yinshi. Even if he failed, he could still save his life. With some money he saved over the years, even if he arrived in the United States, Lee Houji was sure that he could still live a good life. Lee Houji was relieved a lot of psychologically.
"I hope General Li will strike while the iron is hot as soon as possible and speed up the time," Lai Yinshi said lightly.
"I have already gathered good people. I'll have some action recently, so you'll be optimistic." Li Houji said with a confident look, but in Lai Yinshi's opinion, his so-called confidence is actually just blindly arrogant.
With Lai Yinshi's understanding of Wu Shaoting's methods, such a thing may only be a flash in the pan.
The two continued to discuss some details of cooperation issues, but Lai Yinshi was just simply perfunctory to Li Houji.
After seeing off Lai Yinshi, Li Houji began to prepare for the next thing
Looking at the map of Nanjing, Li Houji discussed with the people around him.
Nanjing is the national political, economic and cultural center. Li Houji is very clear that as long as there is a problem in Nanjing, it will soon spread to the whole country. In this way, the whole country will soon be in chaos. As long as it is in chaos, Li Houji will have capital and can bargain with Wu Shaoting.
There are several places to choose in Nanjing. Of course, the first choice is the Nanjing National Government. This is the core of the country. Let the Beiyang faction march to the Nanjing National Government to sit in a quiet place. This will definitely have a great response, but this is also the most risky. The Nanjing Presidential Palace is not an ordinary position. If it is not done well, Wu Shaoting may directly give up his head.
The second option is the Capitol Building in Yuhuatai. The status of the Capitol Building is only the Presidential Palace. If you hold a parade and sit-in activities here, it will be very effective, and you can also avoid being **ed by Wu Shaoting. Because Congress is the most controversial place in the country, it is normal to have some resistance.
After looking at some places, he finally decided to hold a demonstration at the Capitol Building in Yuhuatai, but Lee Houji didn't have these tricks.
I contacted some radicals in the Beiyang faction who held military power in Nanjing. As long as things get big, Li Houji will take risks and directly control Nanjing by force. In this way, Li Houji can take the initiative in many things.
It's already late at night, Nanjing is still as quiet and peaceful as usual, and the whole city is in sleep, but Li Houji is not sleepy at all. When he wakes up tomorrow morning, his life will be changed. Looking forward to the excitement after victory, Li Houji's spirit will double
