Beiyang reactionaries

Although when Duan Xun attended Sun Yat-sen's funeral, there had already been gossip that the People's Party was going to swallow the Kuomintang.But at that time, it was just some analysis and gossip.But when Duan Xun and Wang Jingwei formally signed the cooperation agreement, it caused a sensation throughout China.

Also let all the great powers pay attention.

why?

Because of the merger of the People's Party and the Kuomintang, Duan Xun's position has become more stable.Before, many people still hoped that the Congress would restrain Duan Xun's strength.At that time, many powerful factions hoped that the KMT would take the lead.

After all, the Kuomintang was once the number one party in China.

But with Duan Xun's casual gesture, those people's thoughts were ruined.With the current strength of the People's Party, no matter what the Congress chooses, it cannot escape the palm of the People's Party.

After the People's Party and the Kuomintang signed a cooperation agreement, they soon announced a "Political Party Act" formulated by the cabinet and passed by the provisional Senate.There are very strict regulations on the operation and funding of political parties.

The most important point is that all parties in China are not allowed to accept financial support from foreign governments and foreign groups.Any support funds from abroad are subject to scrutiny by Congress and the Ministry of Security.If any party accepts financial support from foreign governments and foreign groups, the cabinet and Congress have the right to ban such a party.

Including announcing that no cross-party party members are allowed.

The emergence of the "Political Party Act" marks that China's party politics is on the right track.But the emergence of this bill has a devastating effect on most political parties in China.It can be said that it is Duan Xun's move to further strengthen his rights.

Anyone who pays attention to Chinese politics knows that China will truly come out with a real "dictator".How can all countries that are concerned about the situation in the Far East not pay attention to this matter.After all, the appearance of a political strongman like Duan Xun in a big country like China is definitely a huge change for the situation in the Far East.

When the Chinese People's Party and the Kuomintang merged, the new Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka had no time to pay attention to China's affairs.Because Japan's Constitutional Council and Tomoyo's party merged to form the Civil Affairs Party, it seriously affected the position of Tanaka Yoshiichi.

Japan currently has many political parties, among which there are three powerful parties.The largest political party is the Constitutional Council of Kato Takaaki and Wakatsuki Reijiro, the second largest party is founded by Ito Hirobumi, and Tanaka Yoshiichi and Takahashi are the political friends of Kiyoshi.The third largest party is the Party of Political Friends.

The Political Friends of the Party is actually a split from the Political Friends of the Party.Originally, everyone was a member of the Political Friends Association, but later they had different views, so they split from the Political Friends Association and established the Political Friends of the Party.But after all, it comes from the same source. When Takaaki Kato and Reijiro Wakatsuki were the prime ministers, the Seiyukai and the party of Seiyuu cooperated to attack the Seiyukai, Takaaki Kato and Reijiro Wakatsuki.When Reijiro Wakatsuki fell from power, both the Seiyukai and the party of Seiyuu made great efforts.

But that's what politics is.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.The party that was originally an ally of the Seiyukai, but after Yoshiichi Tanaka formed a cabinet, did not support the Seiyukai, but chose to join forces with the Constitutional Council to form the Gerakan Party.Originally, the Political Friends Association represented by Tanaka Yoshikazu was not as numerous as the Constitutional Council in the parliament. Now that the Constitutional Council and the Political Friends Party have merged, they already have an absolute advantage in the parliament.

In other words, any decision of the cabinet can be vetoed by the parliament.It should be said that there is no way to veto it, but as long as Wakatsuki Reijiro and the others are willing, it is impossible for any resolution of Tanaka Yoshiichi's cabinet to pass the parliament.

"I know."

Tanaka Yoshiichi had an ugly expression on his face.

damn it.

Wakatsuki Reijiro has already fallen, and he still plays this game.But this is really a big problem.After all, what the cabinet decides needs to be approved by the parliament.A Cabinet order is only legal if it passes Parliament.

But at present, Yoshiichi Tanaka belongs to the minority ruling party and cannot control the parliament at all.Instead, the parliament is controlled by Reijiro Wakatsuki, the big bosses of the former Constitutional Council.According to the current procedure, the cabinet must be restrained in everything it does.

"Tell me what you can do now. In next year's general election, if we don't get enough votes, nothing will happen."

tired.

Originally he was high-spirited, but after becoming the prime minister of the cabinet, Tanaka Yoshiichi faced a real mess.The domestic financial crisis, the crisis on the Korean peninsula, and the Taiwan crisis, and now even the position of the prime minister of the cabinet is not secure.Any one of these things made Tanaka Yoshiichi a headache.

"Prime Minister, use executive power to secure our seats."

"Administrative power?"

"Yes."

Suzuki Kisaburo, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Tanaka Yoshiichi Cabinet, spoke.

This is the current general of the Political Friends Association, and he is someone Tanaka Yoshiichi trusts very much, so he became the inner minister.This person graduated from the law department of Tokyo Imperial University in his early years and has been in the judicial field.

Police, prosecutors, and judges have all done it before entering the aristocratic council as a member.

"Prime Minister, we are now forming a cabinet and controlling administrative power. This is the biggest advantage. Elections, everyone doesn't understand elections, and next year's elections will be the first general election in the history of the empire. No one has done such an election, everyone We have no idea. At this time, we have the greatest advantage, because we control the cabinet, and we can control the grassroots administrative power."

"did you mean?"

"Yes."

Kisaburo Suzuki nodded.

Both of them are smart people, and they don't need to speak clearly to know what it means.In the history of the world, the general election of the Republic of China in 1912, although there were many farces, was actually a very early election.Chinese conservatives are very strong, but they also have a strong ability to accept new things from others.

After the founding of the Republic of China, it immediately learned from European and American elections and held congressional elections.Including Duan Qirui's "Anfu Cabinet", although it was promoted by cheating, it was also elected.

But Japan is different.

After so many years of party politics, Japan is finally ready to introduce universal suffrage.According to the current situation, Tanaka Yoshiichi's political friends will be at a disadvantage.

But Kisaburo Suzuki was right.

administrative power.

As the prime minister of the cabinet, Yoshiichi Tanaka controls the administrative power.As long as the administrative power is in hand, there is a way to interfere in the following elections.Kisaburo Suzuki continued: "Prime Minister, we will replace those disobedient governors and officials below with obedient ones. By the time of the election next year, we will be able to control the direction of the election. The parliament can control our policies. But we can’t control our appointment of grassroots administrative officials. As long as the grassroots administrative power is in our hands, there will be no major problems in next year’s election. Even if there are some problems, we can win over some centrists.”

"kindness."

Yoshihide Tanaka nodded.

Election interference?

This is against the law.But Tanaka Yoshiichi is a bold person, not afraid of these things.Now that his position is threatened, he will not follow the rules.

This is Yoshiichi Tanaka's style.

"But next year's election is less than four months away. If there are too many replacements, it will definitely have a great impact."

"Prime Minister, you can divert your attention."

"Say."

"Currently, the Gerakan Party and the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu are cooperating to actively get closer to the elders. We can't let them join forces. What are the chaebols and elders most afraid of?"

"Redification."

Tanaka Yoshihiro smiled.

Since the birth of the Soviet Union, why are European, American and Japanese countries extremely hostile to the Soviet Union?This hostility had little to do with the Soviet Union's withdrawal from the war in World War I.

The reason they are really hostile to the Soviet Union is the claims of the Soviet Union, the claims of the Comintern supported by the Soviet Union.The Soviet Union can be said to be a real country that publicly criticized colonization, publicly called for national independence, and supported the colonial independence movement.Moreover, they openly want to overthrow capitalism and capitalists, each of which is directly aimed at countries in Europe, America and Japan.Their theories had the greatest influence on Europe and Japan.

After the First World War, the economies of Europe and Japan were not good, and the life of workers was very difficult.It just so happened that the Soviet Union's claims spread in, making these countries very turbulent.The leftist movement climaxed one after another, seriously threatening the interests of capitalists.That's why they are so hostile to the Soviet Union.

Japan is no exception at present.

The Japanese economy has been very bad in the past few years. As a result, the leftist movement in Japan has become more and more serious.This makes Japanese chaebols and bureaucrats very worried.

Worried that Japan is also going the way of the Soviet Union.That really killed the chaebols and nobles.

"Prime Minister, according to the current situation, the Japanese Communist Party and other left-wing alliances will definitely get a lot of seats in next year's election. This is not a good sign."
