Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The political conflicts triggered by the Paris Peace Conference are still escalating. In France, many French bosses suddenly find that the Chinese laborers who have worked hard for more than two years are suddenly not quite right.

In Marseilles, Yu Ba and Xiong Er, two guys who had already put on the cloak of Chinese labor union foremen, called together 12 Chinese laborers working in Marseilles under the instructions of the National Security Bureau: "Brothers, our army and laborers have left their homes to come to Europe to replace them." The French fought and worked, and supported them to win against the Germans. Now that they are done, they have given our Shandong to the Japanese. Everyone said, is there such a bully?"

Although most of the laborers composed of landless peasants from Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi didn’t know where Shandong was, they still responded: “No, never, I’ve had enough of working with the French.”

Xiong Er responded from the audience: "We're going on strike, let's not let the French do it, we're going on strike!"

"Yes, strike, strike..."

Not far away, many French managers chose to play it safe when they were surprised when these usually docile Chinese workers suddenly became violent.

The same scene was staged in France and the United Kingdom. Among the 150 million workers in Europe, 130 million participated in the strike, and the Chinese and overseas Chinese who were originally in Europe also went on strike, and France was in chaos for a while.

The diplomatic delegation is also facing unprecedented pressure. More than 3 international students gathered outside the Palace of Versailles in Paris, France to protest the injustice of Britain and France loudly. They were emotional and had a physical conflict with the French police who maintained order. A French policeman and Three Chinese students were killed in the clashes.

The unprecedented violence of the Chinese caught British Prime Minister Lloyd George and French Prime Minister Clemenceau by surprise. If it was only Chinese students and people who were tossing about in ** or something, it would be no threat to them, but millions The toss of cheap Chinese labor is beyond their tolerance. Only God knows whether those capitalists who have lost their interests will continue to support themselves in the next general election.

Lu Zhengxiang, the foreign minister who originally served as the head of the delegation with the purpose of leaving his name in history, now feels unprecedented pressure. Just outside the station, many overseas students and Chinese associations have expressed that if the delegation dares to carry out Qian Nengxun's order Sign the treaty of the Paris Peace Conference, then they don't mind eliminating thieves for the country.

Now it was Lu Zhengxiang's turn to be in trouble. Strictly speaking, he was an intellectual with a soft personality.He didn't dare to disobey the government's order, but he didn't want to go against public opinion and bear the eternal infamy. In desperation, he and several other representatives left Paris under the pretext of being sick, and left all the power of the delegation to the people appointed by the Nationalist government. Representing Gu Weijun.

Now it was the turn of Britain and France to be dumbfounded. They did not expect that the Chinese could play such a game. British Prime Minister Lloyd George immediately ordered the British Minister to China, Zhu Erdian, to impose diplomatic pressure on Sun Wen, the supreme leader of the National Government, and Wang Zhenyu, the actual leader. We must urge the government representative Gu Weijun to sign the Paris Peace Treaty.

The pressure went down level by level, and the last one who carried out this order was Wilmots, the British consul in Hankou.This British gentleman usually has a lot of status in Wuhan. It is not difficult to meet Wang Zhenyu, but this time he missed it.Wang Zhenyu's secretary, Chen Bulei, told him with great regret that Marshal Wang was not in Wuhan. He had gone to Meizhou, Guangdong to attend the opening ceremony of the first Chinese Football League, and it was said that he would stay there for a while. Without a telegraph office, we had to send a telegram to Guangzhou first to find him, so Consul Wilmots had no choice but to leave.The Japanese who have been paying attention to the attitude of the Nationalist Government have also obtained accurate information. At this critical moment of the Sino-Japanese conflict, Wang Zhenyu, the actual controller of the Southern China Nationalist Government, was not in Wuhan, and later confirmed that he went to Meizhou, Guangdong to play football. .This performance of not doing business properly led the Japanese government and the military to come to a conclusion that Southern China did not have any preparations for war.

Wang Zhenyu was really not in Wuhan, but after the outbreak of the May 33th Movement, he immediately made deployments, transferred 50 of the 13 standing divisions to Zhengzhou and Xuzhou respectively, and a total of 5 lions pointed to the north.At the same time, Bai Chongxi, Li Liejun, and Tao Zhiyue were appointed as the commander-in-chief. Among them, Bai Chongxi was the chief of staff, Li Liejun was the commander of the East Route Army, and Tao Zhiyue was the commander of the West Route Army.At the same time, after the first anniversary of the construction of new villages in Guangdong Province, it ordered a second round of new village construction in Henan and Jiangxi, where land problems are more serious.Among them, there are a large number of local and fertile armed forces similar to the Red Gun Club in Henan. Wang Zhenyu also instructed Yang Wangui and Hao Bing to transfer elites from various provinces into Henan. A total of 21 troops were formed. A large-scale sweep was carried out on the ground in Henan to pave the way for the construction of new villages in the area.The new rural construction movement in Henan, relying on more than [-] human heads and [-] billion Chinese yuan in investment, finally realized the original idea.

At the same time, Wang Zhenyu has not forgotten the tragic escape from Belarus in history. He ordered Wu Peifu to hoard winter supplies for millions of people in Xinjiang. It is time to prepare to send troops to Central Asia.For this reason, Liu Xing was urgently transferred to the commander of the Central Asian Front Army, and five divisions were deployed under his command to enter the Xinjiang region.

But things in Russia are far from smooth as Wang Zhenyu thought. The National Security Bureau, which has won many victories in the country, seems to be no better than the Japanese for the Russians. Kolchak is still unwilling to believe that the Chinese can help him despite the unfavorable situation. After all, the country itself has not yet achieved substantive unification, and the ability of a local government is really doubtful. Although the army of this local government defeated the Germans in Europe, in Kolchak's view, this is nothing at all, because Canadians did too.Therefore, Kolchak did not consider establishing a cooperative relationship with China. On the contrary, he showed extreme dislike for the Chinese to take back the Middle East Road at the juncture of the Russian Civil War.As for the [-] tons of gold in his hands, when he was preparing to retreat, he deposited [-] tons of it in the account of the French, and deposited the other [-] tons in the account of the Japanese.

Wang Zhenyu finished listening to Zhou Lan's report while packing up his things and preparing to go to Meizhou. He comforted the nervous Zhou Lan and said, "The work that should be done is still to be done. You have to trust my judgment. This stubborn Kolchak will eventually You will still come to us for help. In addition, some elite agents will be dispatched to support, and I hope that you can play the most critical role at the most critical time."

Then Wang Zhenyu ran to Meizhou, um, left his secretary behind, but took his eldest son Wang Jingye away.

Accompanying Wang Zhenyu was Wang Zhengting, chairman of the Chinese Sports Federation and the Chinese Olympic Committee, and other sports officials. They all went to participate in the first Chinese Football League.

This Chinese Football League is a competition organized by the Chinese Football Association. According to Wang Zhenyu's original idea, it is natural to play home and away games like the Chinese Super League in later generations.But soon the first chairman of the Chinese Football Association Wang Zhengting told Wang Zhenyu with a bitter face that this would not work because the country is too large and the means of transportation are backward. If the home and away system is adopted, the teams will basically be on their way.Only then did Wang Zhenyu suddenly realize, so the first Chinese Football League was changed to a tournament system.After that, in about 19 years, the third Chinese Football League was upgraded to the "China Champions Cup Football Game" and continued to use the tournament system.In the area under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China, a double round-robin football league is organized with the province as the unit, and the champion of the league will participate in the next year's China Champions Cup football match.In the future, it will be organized for the provinces and member states to play the Federation Cup every four years. These are all things to come.

Since the Youth Army has promoted football throughout the army since the Revolution of [-], and even organized various competitions within the army, with the victory of the Youth Army, football has been continuously promoted nationwide as one of the symbols of the Youth Army. .However, in the early Chinese football world, military football has always been in the leading and dominant position.

The first Chinese Football League will last for one month from June 6st to July 1th.Wang Zhenyu not only watched some of these games, but also played a game on behalf of the youth army football team and the Meixian football team. A year-old kid named Li Huitang performed amazingly. He scored three goals in the game.Wang Zhenyu took a photo with the future football star very kindly, and personally awarded him a silver commemorative medal for "hat trick".

Then, without waiting for any results, Wang Zhenyu quietly went to Zhanjiang. Here, the Minister and Commander of the Navy Chen Shaokuan and others have been waiting for a long time, and there are also a large number of German submarine officers who participated in the World War I naval battle and submarine manufacturing. Technical staff.

In a dark dock, Wang Zhenyu turned around and asked Chen Shaokuan: "This is the Chinese Jiaolong submarine you reported?"

In fact, Chen Shaokuan is not interested in submarines. He hopes that Wang Zhenyu can use the money to introduce or manufacture battleships, but Sa Zhenbing’s lesson comes first, so he can only keep this idea in his heart, and then behave himself. Ji reported to Wang Zhenyu: "Yes, Commissioner, this is the Chinese Jiaolong submarine made by imitating the German U-shaped submarine. The current numbering uses the x standard. The code name of this unit is also replaced by x unit, which means unknown. Oh, these two are the commander of this unit, Major General Chen Shiying, and the staff officer, Brigadier General Zeng Yiding."
