Beiyang reactionaries

"On September 1938, 9, Britain and France declared war on Germany. The war between Britain, France and Germany broke out. At present, Britain and France are paying attention to the reactions of Japan and Italy, which signed the 'Alliance Treaty' with Germany. At present, Japan and Italy have not followed Germany to fight Britain and France declare war."

"But judging from the current situation, the day when Japan and Italy declare war on Britain and France should not be far away. If Japan wants to expand its territory in Southeast Asia, it must first attack the colonies of Britain and France. If Italy wants to dominate the Mediterranean Sea and control North Africa, then it must The colonies of Britain and France were also attacked. That is why the three countries were able to sign the 'Alliance Treaty'. Italy and Japan follow Germany and Britain and France to go to war, and it is estimated that it will be within a few months."

"At that time, the world will be divided into two military groups. One is the countries headed by Britain and France, including Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and other British and French allies, as well as the vast colonies of Britain and France and the countries of the Commonwealth. The other is Germany, Italy, The country headed by Japan will be followed by countries such as Hungary and Romania, and the Republic of Indonesia in the Far East. Of course, some colonies of Germany and Italy will also be included. In this way, more than 20 countries will participate in this war, and even more than [-] countries will participate in the war. If it exceeds this scale, the number of people involved in the war will reach [-] to [-] million, and as the war expands, one billion people will be involved in the war. This is already the scale of a world war, which means that there will be a world war in the world soon.”

The Fifth Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the People's Party.

Just before the new government was reshuffled.

When the time comes, the government no longer needs to hide the high-level judgment, because the facts are there.Therefore, during the meeting, the thoughts of the top leaders of the People's Party have been made public.Yang Wei, as the chairman of the meeting, raised the final question after discussing the new personnel appointment of the People's Party.

Of course, this question did not come up out of the blue.

By the time of the Central Committee meeting, a large number of proposals had already been screened.Every time before the start of the Central Committee, there will be a large number of proposals, and almost every member of the Central Committee will come up with a proposal.However, many of these proposals have been shot down during preliminary discussions and will not enter the final discussion.The topics that can enter the final discussion of the Central Committee have already been sent to the provincial delegations.They also had a full discussion, and after they had their own resolutions, they would enter the final stage of discussion.

"For more effective decision-making and more efficient decision-making, I think government agencies should enter the wartime mechanism. A unified military and political command agency should be established, and more powers should be entrusted to this agency during the war. The establishment of such an agency requires the authorization of Congress .Our People's Party is the ruling party, and the People's Party should first unify its thinking and steps."

"Secretary-General Yang (Yang Wei), can you be more clear. The specific reasons why our government agencies entered the wartime mechanism? And what should the wartime mechanism be like? After the war is over, this wartime mechanism needs How will it end? Or when will it end?"

Liao Zhongkai asked Yang Wei directly.

Liao Zhongkai is a regular member of the People's Party, and his temper is so straightforward, so he didn't beat around the bush.On the other hand, Wang Jingwei, who was next to him, was also a member of the Central Committee, but he didn't speak.

Wang Jingwei is very smooth.

Since entering the People's Party, the most work he has done is to bridge various differences within the party.In this regard, Wang Jingwei is really a master.This meeting suddenly discussed this, and Wang Jingwei already guessed that this was Duan Xun's idea.

Otherwise, how could this meeting distribute this topic to everyone for discussion.Without Duan Xun's consent, how could Yang Wei do such a thing.Wang Jingwei is a wise and safe person.Duan Xun is now at the height of his power in the Chinese political arena. I dare not say that he is a single hand, but he is also a "semi-dictator".Wang Jingwei did not want to clash with such a political giant.That's why I don't speak.

It's a pity that Liao Zhongkai is different.

"Some comrades and I think this way. The current cabinet manages too much. Of course, there is no problem in peacetime. But in war, too much management will affect the efficiency of decision-making. For example, if the military department continues to be under the cabinet, then the military department Is it necessary to convene a cabinet committee meeting to make a decision on some important decisions? Will this be a waste of opportunity? And it’s not that I have any doubts about the cabinet members, but that they have specialized skills. Not all cabinet members have military backgrounds. Is it inappropriate for some important decisions to be made by the cabinet committee meeting? Therefore, I think the current cabinet model must be a hindrance in times of war. Therefore, I suggest that the military department should be independent of the cabinet and can be quickly resolved in times of war. Decision-making. The cabinet is responsible for administrative work and focuses on national economic construction. But the military department is independent from the cabinet, so who will restrain the military department and who will manage the military department. Therefore, I think a wartime mechanism should be established to unify the cabinet, The Ministry of Military Affairs is necessary. As for the end of the war, this wartime mechanism must be terminated. The wartime mechanism is only a special authorization under special circumstances, and it is absolutely impossible to become the norm."

"Secretary Yang..."

What else did Liao Zhongkai say.

But Wang Jingwei who was next to him suddenly said: "I think Secretary-General Yang's proposal is in line with the current situation. Each department focuses on its own affairs, which can better reflect professionalism, and then the higher-level departments are overall management. It is a good way to improve efficiency. The Ministry of Military Affairs has always been under the banner of the cabinet, and it does influence the decision-making of the Ministry of Military Affairs. During the war, everything is for the victory of the war, and it is a good proposal for the country to enter the wartime mechanism."

Liao Zhongkai frowned.

Liao Zhongkai is not a fool, he knows many things well.At present, there are nine members of the Central Committee of the People's Party, 14 alternate members of the Central Committee, and about 110 members of the Central Committee.To establish a wartime agency, the person in charge of the wartime agency must be Duan Xun.

Duan Xun would not say anything, and Dai Kan, the number two figure in the People's Party, would not object.After all, Duan Xun became the head of the wartime agency, so Dai Kan must take over the position left by Duan Xun and become the real head of the cabinet.Under such circumstances, how could Dai Kan object.The other cabinet bosses, following Duan Xun and Dai Kan's advancement, and Wang Yongjiang and Liang Huankui's retirement, must all move forward.At this time, I was thinking about how to sit in a row and share the fruits, who would object to such a proposal.

After all, those who can reach the position of members of the Central Committee of the People's Party are veterans in the political arena.When Yang Wei asked them to discuss this topic, everyone already understood what it meant.This is Duan Xun going a step further, who would object.

Immediately, it was time to sit in a row to share fruit and fruit, offended Duan Xun, and the vacant seats left would hardly fall on top of his own head.Now that even Wang Jingwei has said this, there must be no objection from the Central Committee except himself.The Central Standing Committee has this attitude, and it is difficult for the alternate members of the Central Standing Committee to have objections.

But what Liao Zhongkai wants to know is, after Duan Xun uses the wartime mechanism to centralize power, will he really restore the original mechanism after the war is over.Liao Zhongkai still admires Duan Xun himself.

Because Duan Xun has led China for 20 years, China has really undergone earth-shaking changes.Now China can even talk to those great powers on an equal footing, and can take back lost power one after another from the great powers.These are all things that Sun Yat-sen wanted to accomplish when he was there, but he was unable to accomplish them.But they were all taken by Duan Xun one by one.These alone are worthy of Liao Zhongkai's admiration.

But admiration is admiration, Liao Zhongkai is always worried.

That is what would happen if Duan Xun followed Yuan Shikai's path.Although Duan Xun has promised many times, even Duan Xun's children have not entered politics.But this kind of worry is always in Liao Zhongkai's heart.

But looking at the current situation, there is no sign of objection, whether it is the Central Standing Committee or the alternate members of the Central Standing Committee.

"This proposal has been discussed by each group for three days. Today we will vote directly. Once our Central Committee approves this proposal, then I will propose this proposal in Congress. At that time, all People's Party members will need to act in unison. "

The People's Party was organized on a military model in its early years.

The discipline of the BJP is also the strictest.During the meeting, if you have any opinions on any issues, you can directly raise them or vote against them.But once it is passed, you must follow the pace of the People's Party when you are outside.After the People's Party has passed a bill, no party member is allowed to take actions that are contrary to the resolution of the People's Party headquarters.

If you are dissatisfied, you can continue to raise objections in party meetings, which is the power of party members.However, once an act inconsistent with the People's Party's decision is taken outside, it will incur disciplinary punishment from the People's Party, up to expulsion from the Party.

This is the case with BJP MPs.

Objections can be raised at internal meetings of the People's Party and can be voted against.But once the Central Committee of the People's Party approves it, these People's Party members must follow the opinions of the People's Party headquarters when voting in Congress.

Because the BJP holds 95% of the Congress.Therefore, the internal policies of the People's Party are actually the decisions of the Congress.It is also because of this that Duan Xun is considered a "semi-dictator".As long as Duan Xun controls the People's Party, he can control the Congress.

"Okay, let's vote now."

1938年9月6日，人民党第五届中央委员会第五次会议开始。会议开了十六天时间，在1938年9月22日会议正式结束。

has received widespread attention.

Because the People's Party is currently the ruling party in China, and it is the undisputed largest party in China.From the Congress down to the county council, 90% to 95% of the members are members of the People's Party.

It is precisely because of this that the media questioned that China is a party-state and that Duan Xun is a "dictator".But that is the reality.Under the current Chinese legal framework, other parties cannot develop.

With regard to restrictions on party funding alone, other parties are unable to raise sufficient funds.Because of the people's party's such things, every time the people's party holds a general meeting, the various strategies they formulate will become the government's policies for the next stage.

What's more, the meeting of the Central Committee of the People's Party happened just before the parliamentary election and government reshuffle.The results of the Central Committee meeting of the People's Party will directly affect the congressional election and government reorganization.

So of course the attention is high.

There were many discussions at this meeting of the People's Party.

Including the re-election of the leadership of the People's Party, which is the regular meeting of the People's Party.Because both Wang Yongjiang and Liang Huankui were in poor health, they could no longer continue to work.Based on Wang Yongjiang's age and his achievements, he should have done it again.But Wang Yongjiang's health was not very good when he was young, and now his physical condition is even worse, and he is completely unable to continue working.During the third five-year plan, Wang Yongjiang was already working with his own body, and now his body is riddled with holes.Therefore, neither of them was nominated for the Central Standing Committee election this time, and they could only choose to retire.

In this way, the composition of the regular meeting of the People's Party has become the current cabinet prime minister Duan Xun, the cabinet vice-premiers Dai Kan, Yan Huiqing, Jiang Hongyu, You Min, the speaker of the National Assembly Yang Wei who is also the secretary-general of the People's Party, and the chairman of the People's Party Disciplinary Committee Liao Zhongkai , Wang Jingwei, vice chairman of the People's Party, and Li Jishen, commander-in-chief of the Construction Corps.

It was the first time for You Min and Li Jishen to enter the Central Committee of the People's Party and began to truly enter the top decision-making level of the People's Party.

After that, he is an alternate member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

A large number of hardcore political figures around the age of 50 have entered the People's Party's Standing Committee as alternate members to improve the People's Party's leadership and age structure.Minister of the Interior Wang Yinchuan, Deputy Directors Zhang Jiaao, Ren Hongjun and Song Hanzhang of the Economic Development Commission (Economic Development Planning Commission), Minister of Industry Fan Xudong, Chairman of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Su Zhaozheng, Secretary of the Northeast Bureau Tang Shizun, Secretary of the Northern Bureau Yan Shichao, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs Chen Yi, Xu Yongchang, Chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

In addition to them, some top leaders in important places have also become alternate members of the regular meeting of the People's Party.Dan Maoxin, Mayor of Beijing, Deng Hanxiang, Mayor of Shanghai, Li Youxun, Governor of Sichuan Province, and Bie Tingfang, Governor of Hubei Province.

So far, the People's Party's Central Standing Committee and the Central Standing Committee's alternate members have all been elected.

Originally, this was the biggest attraction.

Because the People's Party is the ruling party, the leading body of the People's Party is almost the leading body of the government.Those who enter the regular meeting of the People's Party are the giants of Chinese politics.At present, among the high-level political circles in China, although there are some senior officials who are not from the People's Party, they have not joined the People's Party.But the top political figures who really hold power are all from the People's Party.Especially in recent years, as China's political arena has stabilized, starting from the local level, as long as there are young people who want to make a difference in the political arena, which one is not from the People's Party.Therefore, changes in the top leadership of the People's Party will bring about changes in China's political arena.

But after the end of the People's Party meeting, everyone's focus is not here.Because after the end of the Central Committee of the People's Party, before everyone has carefully analyzed the changes in the top leadership of the People's Party, new things have come out in Congress.Yang Wei put forward a new bill in the National Assembly as the speaker of the National Assembly.

That is the creation of wartime agencies.

Yang Wei's meaning is very simple.The current world war has begun, and China cannot be completely spared.In order to deal with the complex situation in the future, China should become a wartime mechanism.Yang Wei also expressed his thoughts in detail.

Establish the Supreme Committee, authorize the Supreme Committee to be in charge of China's military and political power, and take full responsibility for China's military, administration, and diplomacy.The Ministry of Military Affairs became independent from the cabinet and became a subordinate department directly under the Supreme Council.The Cabinet deals mainly with domestic administration.

And in order to concentrate manpower and material resources, concentrate all energy to deal with the war.During the existence of the Supreme Council, there will be no congressional elections, nor presidential elections, and special authorization will be given to the Supreme Council.
