The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

At the time when the gongs and drums at the entrance of the ancient town were buzzing, in the Ailu Garden Villa in Shanghai, a roar in Fenghua accent was resounding throughout the courtyard: "Arrogant! Domineering! Lawless! Does he still have a country in his eyes? Does he have me?" This chairman?! Om?! What is he going to do?!"

The old Jiang Qi who was left in the cold at the pier had a pale face, foam was forming at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hands vigorously in the air. Under his feet was a shattered porcelain cup. Shi Cong's adjutant Deng Wenyi and the think tank and Nanchang camp secretary Yang Yongtai lowered their eyelids and stood aside with their hands clasped silently, letting the wind of Lao Jiang's dancing continue to pass over their faces, while Soong Meiling pinched her hands anxiously. Handkerchief looked at him nervously, counting Zhu Bin fiercely in his heart, good job!

Speaking of which, Mrs. Song has always had a good impression of Zhu Bin, and more than once she wanted to propose a good wife to his mediator, but Zhu Bin declined all of them, and besides, there was really no suitable candidate.Needless to say, the benefits the Song family has received in the past two years, Mrs. Song herself is also a courageous person, and she will not depose her husband because of her sins.But to be fair, Zhu Bin's help to Lao Jiang's career is also huge.

Military, financial, foreign wars, and political face, all have benefited a lot, but the only thing is that they did not have complete dedication and loyalty, and followed Lao Jiang as a good subordinate and follower.Of course, she didn't know that Zhu Bin didn't like people like Lao Jiang at all, he just thought that guy was high-minded and couldn't take it down for a while.

But this time things went too far.Lao Jiang abandoned the great cause of rectifying the Sichuan Army.Excitedly brought people to Shanghai.It was originally intended to show off his great achievements as the chairman and commander-in-chief by taking advantage of the east wind that defeated the Second Fleet of the Japanese Army in front of the dignitaries of all countries in the world, so as to frighten the domestic Heroes from all walks of life, by the way, use it as a bargaining chip to raise conditions with other countries.

In fact, it doesn't count as competing with Zhu Bin?In name, Zhu Bin is also the commander of the task force directly under the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and the captain of the navy.Flower sedan chairs are carried by people.What a wonderful thing for everyone to benefit from each other.

But Zhu Bin, who was ignorant at the critical moment, didn't even show a face, didn't say a word, and just went back to the base so bluntly.Dryly left a group of party and state officials and Chairman Jiang there, and let a group of representatives from various countries who came to watch the ceremony see a joke!

Lao Jiang desperately wanted face all his life, and this kind of thing was the most unbearable thing.This time Zhu Bin really poked him in the eye socket. It has been more than a day, and he is still so angry that his lips are blistered.

Probably because he yelled too hard and lacked confidence, Lao Jiang sat back on the desk panting heavily, grabbed the cup and drank up the warm water in one go, then lifted it up and shook it three times.Finally, many years of nourishing energy began to take effect, he gritted his teeth and slowly put it down, staring at Yang Yongtai with a pair of cold eyes and said: "Changqing, tell me, what is Zhu Hanchen's thoughts! With a little capital, do you dare to treat Zhong Yang as nothing?"

Yang Yongtai, a field scholar for many years, became Chiang's confidant and think tank. With the grand strategy of "three points in military affairs and seven points in politics", he helped Chiang successfully suppress the bandits, took Sichuan without bloodshed, and began to prepare for it. A nationwide training army.It is about to unify most of the military forces, which can be said to be a great contribution.Now Lao Jiang takes him with him wherever he goes, and asks for advice at any time.

Now that something like Zhu Bin happened, he was also caught off guard, but his brain was quick to calculate.Now that he has made a plan, he said calmly, "Chairman. I think treating Zhu Hanchen as a mature politician is actually just a young man with some background and ability. He has a rough temper. Wildness is hard to tame, probably because I was born abroad and have not been influenced by Chinese culture, and because I am surrounded by a bunch of ambitious people, it is inevitable that I will make mistakes."

To put it simply, Zhu Bin is a vulgar upstart middle-aged and middle-aged young man. If you use ordinary old-fashioned methods to deal with him, you must be like a donkey who is in a hurry. With this kind of guy, you have to Just stroke along the hair.

It’s not the first time that Lao Jiang has heard this. Soong Meiling said so, Song Ziwen said so, and Jiang Baili once said so, and gently advised him not to rush to suppress the enthusiasm of young people, and wait until he is fat and bloated. Contradictions naturally arise.People from mixed political parties know that if a group grows bigger, it must have unified thinking and theory as the core to unite people's hearts, otherwise it will collapse sooner or later.So far, the group headed by Zhu Bin does not seem to have any core ideas, and it is worse than the gang of rebels who were beaten and ran to the Long March.

Yang Yongtai didn't have the nerve to say directly, you Lao Jiang made a mistake again!In the past, those people in Jiangxi were regarded as warlords, but the four encirclement campaigns were unsuccessful.This time with Zhu Bin, he also used the wrong method!

Lao Jiang is a man who refuses to admit his mistakes. Of course he refuses to admit that he indulged others and forced Zhu Bin to turn his face. He shouted angrily: "Don't say these things are useless. Just tell me, does he want to be like those rebellious bandits? Come to rebel? Go against Zhong Yang?! Trying to stand on the top of the mountain with a little merit and people?"

Yang Yongtai was sweating in his heart, this is Jiang's true nature!The hooligan habits of gangsters can't be changed after all!After a little consideration in his heart, he said: "Probably not. Zhu Hanchen is not an ordinary and reckless person, and he has no support from the great powers behind him. With his intelligence, he will definitely not ruin his future. At best, he is doing something he thinks is noble, and he should be more aware. The general trend of the world today cannot be shaken.”

When did people say they wanted to stand on their own?Didn't tens of millions of people give gifts to your family in the beginning?The cost of showing goodwill is higher than anyone else. It is because your family is not satisfied, you have to think about taking all the billions of other people's wealth into your own pockets, and even swallowing people with property. You are greedy and greedy. Ken is convinced!Those who can resist, of course they must resist!

Lao Jiang was still convinced of Yang Yongtai's judgment, and he relaxed a little when he heard that Zhu Bin would not rebel against him.Don't look at him screaming in anger, it seems that his face has been cut, but in fact, everyone knows that he is worried that Zhu Bin will rebel against him! <Tianli Kong Xiangxi took action to bring down the Haizhuang Institute. The factories that had been tossing around for half a year began to appear in crisis, but it was still long before his influence was completely eliminated. This is an economic threat.

Financially, the issuance of legal currency by GD Bank is about to begin. From the understanding of Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi, the total circulation will not be less than that of the four major banks. It will be a big trouble at that time, but there is no way to cancel it, because the people behind the scenes There are too many forces!

Politically, it seems that Zhu Bin has nothing to do.But don't forget, if people don't enter the central government of the country, they can play without following their game rules and start another game by themselves.Hard to say how.

The biggest concern is military.A military exercise last year has proved its military level is strong, but its scale is not enough. This year, it has been basically determined that this guy has a division, and it is still a division with a large number of tanks, tanks and aircraft. The combat effectiveness is no less than an army!Enough torment is enough, the most troublesome thing is the current uncontrolled fleet!

Originally, Lao Jiang's faction had the same idea as the Japanese himself, the great powers and many others, that is, the navy needs all-technical arms, and a fleet should say at least 2 people.It is impossible to cultivate it, and it is useless to buy more warships, they are just decorations.But now the First World War has caused the Japanese Second Fleet to flee in embarrassment!Not to mention anything else, they won against four [-]-ton battleships, which proves that the quality of their navy is not bad!

The terrible thing is that this navy, which can fight against the Japanese, does not listen to him, and does not even give a chance to inspect. If this is a rebellion, the first and second fleets of the navy, which did not listen to the call, will not care.Lao Jiang is half of the south of the Yangtze River, who knows what color it will turn into!

"Based on what you're saying, he's purely acting on his own will?" Lao Jiang still couldn't be completely relieved. He put himself in his shoes and found this conclusion impossible.Some people have guns, money and territory.Not fighting for power and profit, that's not normal!

Yang Yongtai knew that this man was too suspicious.Nodding calmly and resolutely, he said: "It should be. According to our judgment, the things that Zhu Hanchen needs to be busy at the moment will involve too much energy! Just a Japanese can't handle it, and the construction of the university city is said to cost billions , It took several years! It is not easy to achieve success, at best, it is to include Shen Honglie's Third Fleet and Han Fuju's half of Shandong. The rest is definitely not something that can be done by force."

Lao Jiang frowned and thought for a while, his eyes flashed, and he asked again: "What is he trying to do in running the university city so hard? Isn't he trying to accumulate talents?"

He is a master of Confucianism, and he understands the principle of "there are people who have money, and those who have money have land". Conquering the world and ruling the world depends on the number of talents. The university city claims to be able to accommodate 10 people, and the number of graduates in one year is the highest in the country. The total amount, in a few years, a hundred thousand college students will have to manage a lot of territory!

Yang Yongtai shook his head: "All he recruited were science and engineering students, and the first batch were the cronies of the owners of related industries. Most of them were used for industrial research, and liberal arts students are needed to govern the world. This should not be relevant."

It has been a custom for thousands of years that literati rule the world, and it is taken for granted even now.Science students... can't even find a job, and I'm afraid they won't be able to use it in the world.It is reasonable to use it to maintain their huge industrial and commercial system.

Speaking of this, Lao Jiang's mood has also stabilized, but his doubts still linger.There is no such person as Zhu Bin in the world!If you follow the example of American Carnegie and old Rockefeller, and make billions of fortunes to engage in charity and education, then what is the use of raising an increasingly large army, self-protection?Don't go too far!A fleet costs hundreds of millions a year.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand resolutely: "Let the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs be resourceful, and see where to start to find some problems to make a fuss about. In addition, let Dai Chunfeng and the others use their snacks to figure out what is going on. What do you want to do? This is the most urgent matter at the moment! It is even more important to release him from colluding with the Guangdong, Guangxi and Guangxi cliques, making it difficult for Zhong Yang to do so.”

Yang Yongtai quickly agreed: "We will arrange the fundraising right now. The literacy schools and technical schools run by Zhu Hanchen's 'China Youth Education Foundation' use self-compiled simplified Chinese textbooks. If the request is not consistent, it can be verified..."

"You can handle those details. I just want the result." Lao Jiang interrupted him with a wave of his hand, rubbed his face vigorously, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, and said in a barely audible voice: "It's really impossible, I have to use These are some extraordinary means. The great cause of the party and the country will never allow any mistakes, anyone... "

Yang Yongtai heard the truth, and couldn't help but feel a shudder. He suddenly remembered that when Lao Jiang was young, the make-up nurse assassinated Tao Huanzhang, and eliminated his opponent from the body.

Not to mention that Lao Jiang became angry and calculated methods here, and the big brains all over the country soon heard about this incident, and there were all kinds of gloating. Began to be cautious, staring to see where Zhu Bin is going to reach out next.Shen Honglie and Han Fuju...no one expected them to have a chance to stand up.

On the other hand, the Second Fleet returned to Japan for repairs after a big defeat, and the fact that two battleships were destroyed finally brought the anger that had accumulated throughout the country to its peak!The naval department has been controlling the government but doing nothing. It has been dispatched many times and returned without a feather. It has consumed huge amounts of state funds but has made little contribution. It has repeatedly damaged the feats and honors of the ancestors of the empire. Such a heinous crime has already enough!

"Heavenly Punishment! The Ministry of the Navy will all die!"

The resounding slogan resounded throughout Japan at the end of July 1935. The "control faction" headed by Riku Sang Hayashi Juro, Ugaki Kazusei, Sugiyama Moto, Nagata Tetsuzan, and Tojo Hideki continued to weaken Araki Sadao, Okamura The "Imperial Way faction" headed by Ning Ci negotiated peace with the Ministry of the Navy time and time again, allowed such failures that humiliated the Yamato nation to happen time and time again, and declared again and again to maintain patience and safety with China. Trying to continue the so-called moderate diplomacy since the Saito Minoru cabinet is simply running counter to the enterprising spirit of the entire empire!

Especially as a member of the Ministry of War, he turned his elbow outward. Such a thing must not be allowed to go on rampant!Severe punishment must be carried out, and they will not hesitate to make them pay the price!

The "ruler faction" has always taken some people's violent actions seriously. The most important thing for the entire Japanese empire is to move out of the narrow island as soon as possible. How can they find trouble and fight endlessly all day long!Therefore, all the guys who clamored to start wars became more and more repulsive, and the officers of the "Imperial Dao faction" were transferred to the reserve service, or transferred from key departments to field officers. The character Masaki Jinsaburo is the Army Education Director.

Although this action was supported by Emperor Hirohito, it completely intensified the contradiction!

On August 8, the angry "Imperial Way School" officer Saburo Aizawa, wearing a saber, broke into Nagata Tieshan's office directly.He hacked to death the super think tank known as "the number one brain in the Japanese army" with a knife, which triggered more and more intense conflicts, which finally got out of hand! ! .
