Republic of China game

"The Ministry of Employment believes that the reason why the Prime Minister wants to train politics is because the people's education level is too low, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong, so there is no way to implement democracy, so they have to train politics. Therefore, the key to political training is education. The Ministry of Employment heard that After Japan received the Sino-Japanese War indemnity, most of it was invested in education funds. Therefore, free compulsory education for all should be established first, and all school-age children should be allowed to enter school in all strong base areas. We should provide a six-year foundation Education. In addition, there must be a time limit for political training. It cannot be continued indefinitely. It should be limited to cultivating a generation of talents. A person should read 16 years of books from primary school to university graduation. Our political training period should be set at 16 years. Years, after the expiry of the term, return the government to the people."

Mr. Zhongshan thought for a while and asked again: "You mean that every time we win a province, we will train the government for 16 years, and we should not do anything for the people except education?"

Luo Yaoguo said with a smile: "If we can cultivate a generation of talents for the country, what is our party not satisfied with? And in the next few years, we will also establish a basic heavy industry for the country so that the country can resist the invasion of foreign powers. This work is also inseparable from education. Industry needs educated engineers and skilled workers, and the army also needs educated soldiers and officers. Relying on illiteracy can't do anything in modern society."

Of course, what Luo Yaoguo said is not necessarily correct. He has put education first in his past two lives, so he took it for granted that only educated officers and soldiers can form a strong fighting force. Regarding Mao Zedong's people's war theory, There is no way to touch the environment he is in.

"How much will it cost for all school-age children to receive free education?" Sun Yat-sen couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he thought of money.

After a little calculation in his mind, Hu Hanmin came up with the answer: "There are 3000 million people in Guangdong, including about 800 to 400 million teenagers. If we want to provide free education for everyone, I am afraid we will not have the money to support the army. But this matter It's not impossible, it's just that we can only provide the most basic education, um, the level is very low, and we can only let these children know some words and simple arithmetic. If this is the case, people with a little money will send their children to the school In high-level private schools, we have to afford the education of about 100 million people. To provide them with one teacher for every 400 people, we need almost 800 teachers. Each teacher’s salary of [-] yuan a year is [-] million! In addition, we need textbooks For schools, we can expropriate some ancestral halls and temples, or we can let the villages and towns solve it themselves. It can be done with almost [-] million per year."

"You want that much?" Sun Yat-sen frowned even more. He actually wanted a huge sum of 800 million!Still 800 million per year!This is still Guangdong. Guangdong is rich and has a lot of businessmen and overseas Chinese, so there are more schools than other provinces. It costs 800 million yuan, and it will cost more to win other provinces. It seems that this worker and peasant is really good. They can't be messed up.

"Prime Minister, we should pay this money, and we can afford it. We Chinese have always attached great importance to education. If the Prime Minister announces that we will provide free education for poor children in the whole province, how much impact will it have? Our Guangdong province, plus Guan Yu, if the society is stable, 4000 million yuan per year is not a problem, and 800 million yuan is only [-]%." Hu Hanmin, who was the governor of Guangdong, knows very well whether Guangdong has money, and he still has money. other purposes.Hu Hanmin paused and then said: "However, the premise is that the society should not be chaotic. As for helping workers and peasants, why don't you ask the Prime Minister to instruct you to set a maximum land rent of [-]% for paddy fields and [-]% for dry land. For workers, the minimum wage is monthly. Let's set ten yuan."

"Prime Minister." Feng Tian, ​​who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected: "I thought that as long as I persisted in this investment for ten years, I would definitely get unexpected returns. Although it is difficult now, we will have well-educated industrial workers in ten years' time. And soldiers, our soldiers will fight like the soldiers of the Great Powers."

"Yes, yes." Hearing the soldier Chiang Kai-shek suddenly think of Japan: "Prime Minister, we should also add a lot of military training to our free education, so that all teenagers who graduate from elementary school can become excellent soldiers after short-term training." Soldiers, and we can select outstanding ones from among them to enter the army primary school, and after graduation, they will be admitted to the non-commissioned officer school, so that in ten years we will have a large number of very outstanding middle and low-level officers."

Before World War II, Japanese teenagers grew up in semi-military education. After enlisting in the army, these big boys who have received semi-military education for several years have to go through eleven months of intensive military training!It can be said that these Japanese soldiers received much more military training and education than Chiang Kai-shek’s Whampoa Military Academy graduates. As for the military education received by those Japanese officers, it was basically five years of primary school in the army, and then they were appointed as alternate non-commissioned officers. Training in the army for half a year, followed by non-commissioned officer school for one and a half years, and after graduation, he will become a second lieutenant platoon leader. Those who are outstanding can enter the Army University to study for three years. This is basically the way for those who become senior officers in the Japanese army, at least nine years. Half of the military education, many people still go to European military universities to study, that is more than ten years.If you let those five or six-month crash courses in the first phase of Whampoa go to fight against others, you will definitely suffer.Of course, Mao Zedong's People's War is an exception.

Sun Yat-sen was fooled by some of his subordinates, and felt that the workers' and peasants' movement should not be carried out casually, otherwise his Grand Marshal's Mansion would have to go bankrupt, so he nodded and made a decision: "Zhantang, send a telegram tomorrow, announcing that Guangdong Province will go bankrupt next year. The first measure of political training is free and compulsory education for all, and the government must allow all poor children to have books to read. The second is to reduce rent and interest in the province. Uh, this cannot be reduced too much. You should study again to see how much reduction is appropriate. The third political training period started from the 13th year of the Republic of China to the 28th year of the Republic of China. Since the 29th year of the Republic of China, county, city and governors in Guangdong have been elected by the people. By the way, during the political training period What about the town and village chiefs? Are they elected by the people or appointed by us?" Sun Yat-sen raised a new question.

"Let the people elect. Didn't we elect once in the tenth year of the Republic of China? The peasants still know who is good and who is bad as a town or village chief." Hu Hanmin made a suggestion.

Chapter 0034 trick?trick? (two)

"Prime Minister, the ministry feels that the suppression of bandits in Guangdong and the management of guns and ammunition should also be put on the agenda. Now that the war between us and the north has stopped, the troops have no combat missions for the time being, just to suppress the bandits in all parts of Guangdong, and the guns and ammunition of the people should also be put on the agenda. Take care." Luo Yaoguo finally thought of the plethora of bandits and the astonishing amount of weapons privately hidden by the people: "We confiscated all the rifles of the people, registered the pistols, and charged a deposit. But first, we need to suppress the bandits , so that businessmen and gentry can see that we have the ability to protect the people. In addition, our civilian army and regular army in Guangdong Province will have to clean up again. Just set up a regiment and set up a Guangdong Security Command to manage them."

Hearing Luo Yaoguo's suggestion to clean up the civilian army, Chiang Kai-shek quickly expressed his support and said: "Prime Minister, we should withdraw and manage the civilian army. This will not only strengthen our rule over Guangdong, but also let the people of the whole country see that we have eliminated Bing Heping's sincerity, I think this plan is feasible."

Mr. Zhongshan nodded in agreement. In fact, these are trivial matters. The real trouble is the cooperation between the two parties and the visit to the Soviet Union. So Mr. Zhongshan changed the topic to the issue of the two parties: "We are now restricting the workers and peasants movement in Guangdong. How should the cooperation of the Communist Party be carried out? I have made up my mind on this point and it cannot be changed.” Sun Yat-sen was very firm in maintaining the cooperation between the two parties.

Luo Yaoguo snorted softly and said, "We can learn from the Soviet Union and strictly manage the worker-peasant movement in our control area, but we can vigorously support the worker-peasant movement elsewhere."

Mr. Zhongshan thought for a while and smiled: "This suggestion by Fuwen is good. We should learn from Russia and the Soviet Union. Since the Soviet Union is definitely correct in doing so, we will copy it. If you want to come to the Communist Party, you will definitely support it, otherwise you will be against it." Is the policy of the Soviet Union? This issue has been resolved, let’s discuss the military plan for the Northwest, and Jieshi was the one who proposed it first, what suggestion do you have now?”

It turned out that this naive plan was written by Chiang Kai-shek. Alas, it seems that his military talent is just like this. Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo felt that he should help Chiang Kai-shek to answer, so he said: "Prime Minister, the Ministry of Staff thinks that the Northwest Military Plan can be established soon. After the Northwest Military Commission, this committee will be responsible for the implementation. If Outer Mongolia negotiates, the committee can be moved to Outer Mongolia to receive guidance from the Soviet Union. However, we need to emphasize to the Soviet Union that the Soviet Red Army cannot directly participate in the leadership of the Northwest Military and Political Commission. to avoid giving Japan an excuse to send troops to intervene."

Chiang Kai-shek always felt inappropriate after listening to Luo Yaoguo's suggestion, but he couldn't think of a better way, so he had to reluctantly express his support. He said: "The things in the Northwest have to be like this. That Mao Zedong appointed him to be the military commander of the Northwest." Chairman of the committee, I hope the Soviet Union will return Outer Mongolia to the Communist Party, so that we can take back the territory for the country, but what if the Soviet Union refuses us? Should we cooperate with the Soviet Union?"

Mr. Zhongshan nodded in embarrassment and said: "Whether the Soviet Union agrees with it or not, we have to cooperate with them, but we have to reconsider the attitude we use to cooperate with them."

"The Prime Minister is right. We still need Soviet aid to build arsenals and steel factories. This is the key to military industry. By the way, Mr. Zhan, if Guangdong enters the political training, how much money can we spend every year?"

Hu Hanmin calculated in his mind for a while and replied: "1000 million, this figure is still there. I estimate that if Guangdong can settle down, there will still be 4000 million including Guanyu. The current tariffs in Fujian are also collected by us. In addition, Xu Ruwei The troops in Fujian are also responsible for the expenses, and the Guanyu in Fujian also has several million. The Guanyu in Guangxi also belongs to us. The income of about 300 million in this way is about 5000 million a year. Now our Grand Marshal’s Mansion has about 9 troops The other two armies of the division also have some units directly under them. If the future security regiment is included, there will be about 12. The military expenditure will be 200 million per month, and 400 million per year. It needs 3000 million, 800 million for education, 200 million for government expenditure, and 1000 million for industry.”

Hearing that 1000 million yuan can be used to set up a factory every year, Sun Yat-sen also showed a satisfied smile on his face. He said: "Yuan Shikai's Gongxian Arsenal invested only 500 million yuan in those days. Today we invest 1000 million yuan a year. It seems There is hope for our heavy industry."

Luo Yaoguo was also very happy to hear that. After all, there is only one province of Guangdong now. If Luo Yaoguo's plan can be followed to rule the entire 1926 provinces in the south in 30, it should be possible to spend [-] million each year. Next, we will find a way to recover the tariffs and organize them. Banknotes are issued by finance, so that by the [-]s, basic heavy industry will almost be possible, and it should be able to fight a good battle with the Japanese.

"Prime Minister, we now have two arsenals in Hongshanqiao and Shijingcun. The Ministry of Staff thinks that we can combine the two factories and transport the machinery and equipment of Hongshanqiao arsenal to Guangdong. The technicians and workers also invite them to come to Guangdong. The two factories After the merger, we are ordering the mold of the water-linked rifle and the mold of the 7.62mm bullet from the Soviet Union. The first step is to start producing the 7.62mm water-linked rifle to replace the current rifle imitating the Mauser 88. At the same time, we also ask the Soviet Union to help us with the machine gun. Changed to 7.62mm caliber and rifle unified.

At the same time, the construction of the Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant should also start preliminary preparations. Soviet experts were invited to help us design the plant. The investment and construction period of the iron and steel plant is long, and it is the foundation of heavy industry, so we need to start construction as soon as possible.In addition, Guangdong is rich in hydropower resources. In the future, we will not be able to do without electricity whether we are developing industries or our residents live. Can the Prime Minister mobilize some businessmen's capital for construction?Small hydropower plants have a short investment period, low investment and high returns, so businessmen should be interested.Then there is the railway. We should build the Guangdong-Han Railway to Hong Kong, and then see if we can build a railway line connecting Guangdong and Guangxi. Railway investment can establish a joint-stock company to attract private investment.

In addition, we should start mining surveys in Guangdong as soon as possible. After the surveys are completed, we will issue contracts to the private sector to allow private capital to participate in the development, which can increase tax revenue.The light industry in Shanghai is developing very fast now, can we find a way to attract investment in Shanghai?Try to attract some businessmen to set up factories in Guangdong?Can the Chinese businessmen in Nanyang and overseas also fight for it?By the way, I heard that the development of rubber in Nanyang is very hot now, and our Hainan Island seems to be able to grow rubber, can it also..." Luo Yaoguo seems to have become the Minister of Commerce now, and he made a lot of suggestions for economic development. , It made Chiang Kai-shek wonder whether this person graduated from West Point Military Academy or some business school?

Hu Hanmin benefited a lot from Luo Yaoguo's suggestion. He said: "Prime Minister, I think Fuwen's suggestion is very good. We should think of ways to develop Guangdong. Of course, the premise is that there must be a stable environment. Does anyone dare to invest? Many of our overseas Chinese are well-off outside, and they donate a lot of money to our party every year. If Guangdong really has a good environment, I believe they will be willing to come back and invest, as long as Guangdong's economy can develop. , the education funding and investment in heavy industry will not be a problem.”

Mr. Zhongshan nodded and said: "There must be a stable environment? But what should we do if the workers and peasants want to fight? Is it possible to send troops to suppress it?"

"If it was in the Soviet Union, of course it would be suppressed, but we can't say that we all learn from the Soviet Union." Luo Yaoguo also knew that the workers' and peasants' movement would not stop happening because of the Kuomintang's restrictions, and he also had a better solution for this: "In In Europe and the United States, the labor movement must be non-violent. If it is a peaceful demonstration, we can allow it to a certain extent, but you must apply for a record. As for violent struggle, it is not allowed in European and American imperialist countries or in Soviet socialist countries. Yes, we naturally can’t agree. Uh, that should be anarchism! Even the Soviet Union is against it.” Actually, that’s not anarchism, but Luo Yaoguo didn’t know much about it, so he just labeled it casually.

"Prime Minister, we also need to supervise the news and public opinion, and the Soviet Union also needs to be supervised." By the way, this Luo Yaoguo still knows the Soviet Union very well!He also suggested: "We can't completely learn from the Soviet Union, but a certain degree of news control is still necessary. I suggest that a news bureau be established to manage all newspapers, and we can't let them write nonsense." , can write about everything. At that time, there were newspapers in the Kuomintang-controlled area that praised the Soviet Union. If it was a true report, it would be fine. In fact, it was all false reports. Article 56 of the "Code" shall be sentenced to ten years of labor reform!

Mr. Zhongshan shook his head like a rattle when he heard this: "Fuwen, who do you think I am? A great dictator? Who is blocking speech in the whole of China now? Besides, there are so many people in the world, you can block it by blocking it." Do you want to live? Your other suggestions can still be adopted, but this one is absolutely impossible!"

How could the mouth of the world be unstoppable?During the Republic of China, these people's thinking was backward. Seeing Sun Yat-sen's expression, Luo Yaoguo didn't dare to say any more, and turned around to look at Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek was also very angry with Luo Yaoguo's proposal. He said, "Fuwen, how can you propose that the prime minister block speeches? What is this? This is dictatorship! Even Yuan Shikai, the robber of the country, would not dare to do this!"

Well!Is this really the former President Chiang Kai-shek?Luo Yaoguo looked at Chiang Kai-shek as if he was lying, what's going on?Your old man was not very authoritarian when you were in Taiwan, why do you think this way now?Strange.Yuan Datou didn't dare to block speeches, what happened in the end?fail!Alas, it seems that houses in Hong Kong are still available for purchase.

Mr. Zhongzheng was very satisfied with Lao Jiang's words, and he did not learn from Yuan Datou's lesson at all. He smiled and said, "Fu Wen, you came back from studying in the United States, why is your mind so feudal? You must study the Three People's Principles carefully in the future. Now Let's discuss the matter of the military academy again, supplementary text, here is the best military academy you read, what should you say about our military academy?"

Seeing that Sun Yat-sen didn't care too much about Luo Yaoguo's remarks, Luo Yaoguo finally felt relieved (freedom of speech! It is Luo Yaoguo's freedom to say that it is also Luo Yaoguo's freedom to block speech). He still has ideas about the military academy: "Prime Minister, the Ministry of Staff thinks that our military academy should cooperate with the war. Progress, now both Zhifeng and Bong are preparing for a new war. The next Zhibong war will be our opportunity, so I hope to train a thousand officers before this. The Ministry of Staff recommends that the army officer school can be completed before the end of 23 In the first phase, 24 trainees will be recruited, and the school will last for one year, and they will graduate before the end of [-]. We can draw instructors from existing military officers, and we can also recruit some from other places.

In addition, the Ministry of Staff suggested that we still establish a branch school jointly with the Communist Party, which can be called a military and political branch school, to train officers for the military and political affairs in the Northwest.In this way, the Communist Party should also be satisfied, right? "

Mr. Zhongshan still attaches great importance to the cooperation between the two parties. He is very satisfied to hear that Luo Yaoguo's suggestion is conducive to the unity of the two parties.He smiled and asked Chiang Kai-shek, "Jieshi, what do you think?"

"Prime Minister, Jieshi also means the same thing. With the cooperation between the two parties, the military academies naturally have their points. We give them a military and political committee, and a military and political branch school, plus Mongolia. I think this sincerity should be great. "After speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Chiang Kai-shek's mouth.

Chapter 0035

At the beginning of May 1923, a thunderstorm from Guangzhou shook the long-dreary ancient country. Sun Yat-sen announced that Guangdong Province would enter a period of political training for a period of 5 years. democratically elected!During the political training period, all village and town chiefs in Guangdong will be elected by the people.What is even more applauded is that Guangdong Province will implement comprehensive free six-year compulsory education from 16, so children of school age can receive six-year free compulsory education. This plan will cost 1924 million oceans every year!

Although Sun Yat-sen's so-called political training has been criticized a lot, the announcement of comprehensive free compulsory education really made his political opponents have nowhere to say anything.The status of intellectuals in the early years of the Republic of China was very high. The policy of popularizing education won the praise of most intellectuals for a while, so the newspapers also praised it. It is ignored by most people. Anyway, the so-called "democracy" in the Republic of China is actually not the case at all. The regime is clearly created by the barrel of a gun. There are a few boring guys who want to put on the cloak of democracy, but the red beard Feng Zhang appeared to be more honest, acknowledging that he was a dictatorship.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party, an ally of the Kuomintang, has just moved back to Shanghai from Beijing in the past few days, and the leaders of the Communist Party have just settled down in Shanghai when they read the information about the political training in Guangdong from the newspaper.For this reason, Chen Duxiu immediately convened an enlarged meeting of the Politburo to discuss the new trends of the Kuomintang and how to adjust the cooperation between the two parties.

Chen Duxiu was extremely dissatisfied with Sun Yat-sen's sudden announcement that he would conduct political training in Guangzhou. Such a big event was suddenly launched without even informing the Communist Party!As a result, the party leader actually learned the news of the political training from the newspaper. At this time, his two thick eyebrows were tightly twisted into a word Sichuan, and he said: "Comrades, this unilateral move by the Kuomintang destroys We have to reconsider the way of bipartisan cooperation." Chen Duxiu, who was originally persuaded in the Soviet Union to agree to cooperate with the Kuomintang within the party, began to waver at this time .

"Hmph, the Kuomintang regards Guangdong as its own territory and won't allow us to touch it." Mao Zedong, speaking with a strong Hunan accent, stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and began to speak: "Comrades, our party is still too weak, so the Kuomintang bullies We don't take us seriously, but we still have to cooperate with them, and the so-called political training of the Kuomintang at this stage will definitely not have any good results. When they meet alone, they will know what path they should take.

The problem with our party is that without military power, why was Sun Yat-sen able to announce political training in Guangdong?Didn't he have eleven divisions of the Guangdong Army, one division of the Guangxi Army and two armies of the Yunnan Army?With these capitals, Wu Peifu will share Hunan equally with him, and Duan Qirui has no choice but to accommodate the Kuomintang on the Fujian issue.

Comrades, so now we should seize the opportunity of cooperating with the Kuomintang to develop our own military power. Only by perfecting our own military power can we possibly restrain the Kuomintang dictatorship.I think this time Sun Yat-sen handed over the Northwest military plan to the cooperation of the two parties, which is an opportunity for our party. "

The Kuomintang formally notified the Communist Party of the Northwest Military Plan and the composition of the Northwest Military and Political Committee.Regarding Sun Yat-sen's nomination of Mao Zedong as the chairman of the Northwest Military and Political Committee, the Communist Party was a little confused. Chen Duxiu really couldn't figure out why Sun Yat-sen had taken a fancy to Mao Zedong, who spoke a strong Hunan accent.

"But will the Soviet Union agree to return Outer Mongolia now? Now Outer Mongolia is already a socialist republic." Zhang Guotao's speech was filled with dissatisfaction with the Soviet Union: "If there is no Outer Mongolia, the Northwest Military and Political Committee is still empty? "

"It doesn't matter." Mao Zedong waved his hand confidently and said, "Even if they give me a short, I can make the short come true. And under the current circumstances, the Soviet Union will not openly reject Sun Yat-sen's proposal, most likely I still promise to come down, and then procrastinate.”

When Chen Duxiu thought of Outer Mongolia, his bushy eyebrows frowned into a question mark: "Oh, the Kuomintang kicked this question to us now, and the Soviet Union insisted on holding Outer Mongolia and not returning it. It's really saying one thing and doing another."

After hearing Chen Duxiu's complaints, the meeting hall fell silent, and no one knew what to say.

The answer from the Soviet Union did not exceed Mao Zedong’s expectations. The Soviet Union agreed in principle to the Communist Party’s proposal to take over Outer Mongolia, but refused any foreign troops to pass through the Soviet territory. .

"Too much deceit!" The office building of the General Staff Department in Guangzhou is now full of shouts and curses with a Ningbo accent: "Niangxi bah! Do these big noses think that we Chinese are all fools? Fuwen, this time the Soviet Union us No, I, Jiang, just don’t believe that without the Soviet Union, we would not be able to beat Wu Peifu!”

Luo Yaoguo was not the slightest bit surprised when he heard the news. He already had a full understanding of the shamelessness of the Soviet Union: "Why should you be angry about this matter? The more the Soviets are exposed, the more it will make those who hate the Soviet Union feel ashamed." The Chinese people who still have illusions will wake up soon, but we are now breaking off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. They still occupy Outer Mongolia and will not return it. It is better to suppress their anger for a while. We still need the help of the Soviet Union. After all, our enemy is not only Wu Peifu, And Japan and the Soviet Union!"

"Hmph, these hypocrites! By the way, Fu Wen, how are you preparing for the northward trip?" Chiang Kai-shek got angry, and the Soviet Union was always going, and it was not Jiang's habit not to take advantage of it.

"It's almost there. Lu Ming has arrived from Fuzhou. He is responsible for the specific issues of negotiating with the Soviet Union to aid in the construction of the steel plant. The Communist Party is accompanied by Zhang Tailei. Comrades Shuyan and Zongshan are also ready. In addition, we I want Jiaoli to accompany us to the north." Having said this, Luo Yaoguo's face flushed slightly.Chiang Kai-shek did not take Chen Jieru northward, and Luo Yaoguo was the only one who took a woman with him to the Soviet Union this time.
