Chapter 669 New Democratic Party

"Brother Wen, I heard that you just came back from Europe and the United States. I don't know if you have any poems. Are we all eager to read?"

Wen Yiduo also had a smile on his face, took out a few manuscripts of poems from his leather bag, handed them to Zhou Shutao, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I heard that after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the French will lose dozens of poems. I took back the two pieces of land in Alsace and Lorraine in [-]. I was very emotional. I don’t know when the land in China will really return to the hands of the Chinese. I am going to write a poem for each of the seven places, including Hong Kong. , Macau, Taiwan, Guangzhou Bay, Luda, Weihaiwei, and Kowloon are called the Song of the Seven Sons. The country is fragmented, and the nation is bleeding!"

Zhou Shutao flipped through the draft in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Brother Wen's talent is indeed rare in the world, every word contains blood, every sentence is full of tears. But there is still a little problem, I want to remind Brother Wen."

Wen Yiduo heard it, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou, please point out if there is any irregularity in the diction."

Zhou Shutao said with a smile: "How dare I point out the words, but I just want to tell Brother Wen that this song of seven sons is going to become six sons, and one of the children is coming back!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yiduo suddenly stood up from his seat, his face full of disbelief, and his voice tremblingly asked: "Mr. Zhou, where are you coming back?"

"Lu Da."

Wen Yiduo frowned first, then showed ecstasy at random, grabbed Zhou Shutao, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhou, did the Fengjun defeat the Japanese? Luda is about to return?"

Zhou Shutao smiled and nodded: "There should be hope. We occupy the northern half of North Korea. If the Japanese don't return Luda, we won't return Pyongyang either. Then we'll see who will suffer the most." [

"Pyongyang? Have we defeated Pyongyang?" The joy on Wen Yiduo's face became even stronger.When he returned to China by boat, the Feng army and the Japanese had just started a war, but he was traveling across the ocean during this period of time, and he didn't know the situation of the war at all.At this moment when Zhou Shutao mentioned the war, he immediately looked depressed.

"Damn me, I don't even know such a big thing!"

Zhou Shutao said with a smile: "It's not too late to know now. The Feng army has fought from the Yalu River to Seoul. Five Japanese divisions have been wiped out, and the arrogance of the Japanese has been wiped out. Britain, the United States and France have come forward to mediate, and the two sides have already sat down. In front of the negotiating table, conditions are being negotiated, judging from this, the Japanese should bow their heads, Luda and Nanman Railway should be handed over to China."

"Mr. Zhou, I'm not dreaming. If these two places are handed over to Fengjun, wouldn't the Japanese power in the three eastern provinces be wiped out? Is this news true or false?"

Zhou Shutao also laughed loudly: "Brother Wen, do you think I can make a fake news to fool you?"

At this time, I heard more than I remembered.Zhou Shutao is not only the nephew of God of Wealth Zhou Xuexi, but also the cousin of Zhang Tinglan, the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces. His news is absolutely reliable.

Thinking of this, Wen Yiduo rubbed his hands excitedly, and couldn't help but said: "Feng Jun is really good. With a small force, he defeated Dongyang and Japan. Lan Shuai can be said to be able to mend the sky with his hands, and the rejuvenation of China There is hope. If one can be recovered, seven can be recovered, and sooner or later China will really stand up!"

Zhou Shutao also said: "Brother Wen, I didn't have much confidence in the face of foreigners before, but the situation is different now. The Feng army has defeated Russia and Japan successively, and its reputation has been greatly boosted. Today's three eastern provinces are just like Germany. Prussia, the hope of the country's rise and prosperity is in sight, which is really exciting."

"Mr. Zhou is really good. It is true that there are some similarities between China and Germany at the time. The country is torn apart. Germany has Prussia and Bismarck, while China also has Northeast China and Lan Shuai. It is true that China will never perish!"

"Brother Wen, according to your words, you also agree with Lan Shuai's proposition?"

"I agree, of course I agree!" Wen Yiduo said without hesitation: "Many new policies have been implemented in Northeast China over the years, and they have also received a lot of criticism. If the army can defeat Japan, it proves that their approach is correct, and it is the road to a strong country. As long as it is beneficial to China, I will support it without hesitation!"

Zhou Shutao also laughed and said, "I have long known that Brother Wen is a person who has an overall view. I would like to invite Brother Wen to join the Democratic Party and serve as a propaganda officer, so as to contribute more to this country."

Democratic Party?Wen Yiduo frowned when he heard it, and asked in disbelief: "Mr. Zhou, didn't Sun Wen of the Democratic Party have fallen out with Lan Shuai? Most of the core members of the Democratic Party have been arrested. Why? Now that we are going to form a Democratic Party, where do we start talking about it?"

Zhou Shutao smiled and said: "This Democratic Party is no longer the Democratic Party. Not long ago, Tang Shaoyi, Cen Chunxuan, Wu Tingfang, Chen Jiongming and others jointly issued a proposal to reorganize the Democratic Party and establish a new type of political party that truly fights for the interests of China. With the support of Fengtian, my uncle and some famous veterans will also join it. The Democratic Party is the first relatively formal political party in China. During the Xinhai period, it made great contributions. You have strayed from the path, and now you should get back on the right path.”

Although Zhou Shutao mentioned Fengtian's meaning lightly, Wen Yiduo also grasped it keenly. It seems that this reorganization has an inextricable relationship with Fengtian. [

His guess was not wrong. After defeating Japan and Russia successively, the general trend of Fengjun has been achieved, and it has become inevitable to win the Central Plains.But how to unify the world, Zhang Tinglan also racked his brains.The easiest thing is to form a huge army, and then directly flatten and unify the north and south.

This seems to be the most direct and easiest way, but there are many future troubles, first of all, a large-scale civil war, which will cause a great loss to the country.In addition, the talent composition of the Feng army is mainly concentrated in the north. If the northern army is used to unify the world, the north will definitely have an absolute advantage. How will the long-standing differences between the north and the south be eliminated?

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan can make drastic reforms in the three eastern provinces, because the three eastern provinces themselves are a blank slate, and the resources are abundant enough, so there is a lot of room for turning around.But to the Central Plains.In the south of the Yangtze River, various forces are intertwined.Involved in all aspects.How to initiate reforms and how to completely change China are all the biggest problems.

Right now, the industrialization of the three eastern provinces is still in the sprint stage. Once the Fengjun controls the whole world, the scope of industry must be expanded, but this will dilute the investment, and even affect the investment of some key projects, and affect the sprint speed of the Fengjun.

If ten years earlier.Zhang Tinglan will choose to unify the world without hesitation, and then rely on strong administrative power to start industrialization across the country.But the times are different now, and the time left for Fengjun to sprint is very limited. If you want to make a difference in World War II, you must concentrate your financial resources.Develop the three northeastern provinces.

Industrialization does not mean that the larger the population, the better. In fact, it depends on the population and the labor force capacity of the industry.Of course, in the long run, industries are becoming more and more complex and require more and more labor. China's huge population advantage is the biggest capital to return to the pinnacle of the world.

But before World War II.There are no many industries. A population of around 8000 to 29 million is the most ideal state. Too many people will become a burden instead.So before World War II.The most powerful industrial country is Germany.As for the United States, although the total amount exceeds that of Germany, it cannot fully utilize its huge population.It was only in [-] years that the great crisis was caused.

Unification is inevitable, but Zhang Tinglan's biggest problem is that he cannot follow the model of the three eastern provinces across the board.After some deliberation, Zhang Tinglan finally came up with an idea, which is to use a model similar to the confederation to unify China.

Eliminate foreign forces, ensure national unity, and then gradually weaken local forces and bring power back to the center.At the same time, based on the Northeast, it will export industrialization and allow China to fully enter the industrial age.The advantage of doing this is that it can eliminate civil wars, and can gradually introduce reforms, coordinate the interests of all parties, and ensure that the future government can take into account the interests of all parties.

Of course, it is still very difficult to achieve this goal. Zhang Tinglan would not have dared to try it if he hadn't had experience as a time traveler.Of course, the establishment of a confederacy does not really divide the country. It also requires a strong bond, that is, the power of a political party to organize the entire society.

Zhang Tinglan had originally planned to start anew, but there were not many people around him who were qualified for this job. In the end, he contacted Tang Shaoyi, and Tang Shaoyi made a suggestion, that is, to reorganize the Democratic Party.

Tang Shaoyi proposed three advantages of the reorganization of the Democratic Party. The first is that the Democratic Party was established early and has a great influence, especially in the south, where it is very well-known; Unification; the third is that at this time Sun Wen, Wang Zhaoming and others have arrived in Japan, and the pro-Japanese faction in the Democratic Party has disappeared.The last action was a catastrophe for the Democratic Party, but it was also a new life.

After all, in the Democratic Party, most of the middle and lower classes, as well as some veterans, really want to make this country better, but the strategy is somewhat controversial.But now that Fengjun has proved correct with his victory, the debate has become worthless.

Originally, the Democratic Party was a loose organization, and there were quite a few people who supported Zhang Tinglan's ideas. It happened that these people were organized and completely pulled to Zhang Tinglan's side. Even if Sun Wen could return to China one day, all the party members would disappear.

After repeated weighing, Zhang Tinglan finally agreed to Tang Shaoyi's proposal. Tang Shaoyi had been the prime minister and had contacts in the north and the south. He first contacted Wu Tingfang and Cen Chunxuan, and then found Chen Jiongming. They got in touch with each other. They were all found out, such as Zhang Lan, Wu Yuzhang, Xie Chi, Zou Lu, Lin Sen and others.

At the same time, Zhang Tinglan also instructed the Zhou family to help them. With the rise of Feng Jun, the Zhou family had long entrusted Zhang Tinglan with the family's prosperity and decline.The reorganization of the Democratic Party is to pave the way for Zhang Tinglan to seize the highest power. How can they not be active.

The Zhou family also ran around in the north, recruiting soldiers, and at the same time contacting the former backbone of the Democratic Party one by one, such as Hu Hanmin, such as Liao Zhongkai, such as Deng Yanda, such as Chen Mingshu and so on.

In addition to the Zhou family, Gu Hongming and Zhang Taiyan also came forward. They took the initiative to help contact celebrities in the academic circles and absorb those true patriots and real doers.

In fact, not only these people, Liang Qichao also joined in. Originally, he formed the Progressive Party, which was very appealing politically. However, with Cai E's early death, Liang Qichao no longer had the support of the army and became very embarrassed.

At this time, the Democratic Party was reorganized, and he also asked to join in. In fact, to put it bluntly, he was still optimistic about Fengjun, a super potential stock.Zhang Tinglan originally thought that the reorganization would encounter many difficulties, and it would take a lot of energy just to settle the various people.

But I didn't expect it to be so smooth. The North and the South, and the understanding of all walks of life, were really united. The influence of the new Democratic Party far surpassed that of the past.And not only in the South, North China, Northeast China, and even Northwest China have begun to have a large number of members. A nationwide, huge political party has finally taken shape.

Being able to achieve such results is actually related to Zhang Tinglan's current halo.The defeat in the Sino-Japanese War was too deep for China, and even in later generations, the wound continued to bleed.

The small country that has been crawling under China's feet has suddenly leaped to the top of China. This gap is unacceptable to anyone.

Now that Fengjun has washed away the pain in the hearts of the Chinese people with its hearty victory, Zhang Tinglan's status has reached the peak of the sky, and any political figure or group has no other choice except to cooperate with Zhang Tinglan.

Zhang Tinglan originally thought that forming a party was a troublesome matter, but in less than a month, it has already taken shape.On the contrary, the peace talks with Japan have fallen into a dilemma.

In the beginning, the Japanese attitude was very arrogant, demanding that the Fengjun must stop military operations, and take the initiative to retreat to the area before the war, and return the prisoners. These conditions became the prerequisites for the Japanese negotiations.However, Zhang Tinglan did not agree to any of them, and sent bombers tit for tat to bomb the port of Incheon.

The beaten Japanese finally became more honest, and Britain and the United States also joined forces to exert pressure. Finally, the two sides finally sat at the negotiating table, but the conditions between the two sides were too different.Fengjun asked the Japanese forces to completely withdraw from the three northeastern provinces, and handed over Manchurian Railway and Luquan to Fengjun.

And also demanded the right to garrison troops in North Korea, and the Japanese had to compensate for military losses.But the Japanese were unwilling to back down, and Gu Weijun and Japanese Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida fought blushingly and thickly, but there was no result.

On this day, Zhang Tinglan was working, and Gu Weijun came over angrily. As soon as they met, he said, "Marshal, two days ago, the Japanese let go and promised to return Luda, but today they have thrown out the return of sovereignty. The Japanese side wants to retain the right to rule, and threatens us that if we disagree, we will withdraw from the negotiation.”

When Zhang Tinglan heard it, she suddenly stood up, sneered and uttered four words: "Wishful thinking!" (to be continued...)
