Chapter 323: Washington or Napoleon

The military horns sounded and the drums sounded.

Under the summer sun in Nanjing, Yuchen, standing on the rostrum in front of the Restoration Heroes Monument, stood there in his military uniform, waiting to review his victory-returned army. After the National Defense Forces achieved a major victory, the military parade in the capital has almost become a tradition. In this high temperature of more than 30 degrees, the Supreme Commander of the National Defense Forces, the Chief of Staff in the Tiger's Nest, the Senior Staff, the Cabinet Members of the Government, the Members of the Parliament, the Representatives of the Capital School, the Business, the Organization, and the Group. They all stood here in a straight manner, waiting for the return of the soldiers after the bloody battle in the Northeast of the National Defense Forces.

Most people were simply excited. The battle of a million troops in the Northeast regained all the land that fell in the Northeast, and almost occupied the entire North Korea. The battlefield of 300,000 Japanese corpses and 20,000 prisoners fell into their hands. The first time the Japanese government so urgently sought peace! Coupled with the great achievements of the National Defense Force in Europe, it seemed that this time was the beginning of the revival of China for a century! They all stood on tiptoe, raised their ears, and did not care about the hot sweat on their faces, and anxiously listened to the cheers and cheers from far away from Guangfu Wharf. Just here, you can also hear the neat roar of the National Defense Forces riding on the ground. Just here, you can imagine the upcoming majestic and exciting scene!

The glorious road to revival five years ago seemed to be waiting for today’s arrival! The national hatred was almost completely gone, and the national humiliation was about to settle. The future was infinitely beautiful, and the motherland was strong. What else did the descendants of the Chinese Yan and Huang born in this era want?

But at this occasion, there were a few people with gloomy faces. Song Jiaoren stood there, thinking that Yuchen had vaguely revealed to him the National Defense Forces thought was somewhat dissatisfied with the government's current actions. I hope he could lower the tone of peace. Song Jiaoren was completely dissatisfied at this time. He couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. At the beginning, you wanted me, the Prime Minister, to ask for peace, in order to maintain your consistent image as a hardliner among the people and a national hero. For the sake of the overall situation, I, the Prime Minister, did not say anything and did this stand out. It can be said that Ren was done with all his righteousness! With the unexpected success of the peace process, the international community praised him, the moderate prime minister. The domestic proletariat was also satisfied that he came forward and began to conclude this decent peace, and ended the war as soon as possible. He always

The reputation among the proletariat who actually holds votes has been rising. You, the president, are so cautious, feel dangerous! Use the army to suppress me? Want to steal all this credit? I, Song Jiaoren, is not a person who loves to compete for me. How much pressure did I face when I shouted out this peace? How did those reserve officers and students from major universities in the capital block the door of their official residences and scold them? The villagers in their hometown in Guangdong even held a family meeting to expel him, the unfilial descendants of the Song family who colluded with the Dongyang Radish Head, out of the ancestral hall! What I should get is absolutely unwilling to do with what I should get! Who doesn’t know how high your Yuchen’s prestige is in the army? You stand there, and the people in that army dare to make trouble? If you really think that someone from Song doesn’t like me, please block the army at the door of the government to see if you dare to use a gun to disband the government!

Of course, this is also the case when Song Jiaoren was angry for a moment. He still had a basic trust in Yuchen's political morality. Yuchen is not the kind of person who does whatever he wants, but only for his own selfish desires. But now, between the Prime Minister and the President, and the scene of being heart-warming, intimate and seamless cooperation a few days ago, he has taken a few steps back.

As for Yuchen, although he still showed the most standard military posture, standing at the rostrum, his feet slightly spread out, and his hands were straight behind him. His face was full of serious and awe-inspiring expression. But his heart was like a turbulent story. He had read Li Rui's Wanyan Book very carefully. He fully understood that Li Rui's opinion was almost a very common voice of the National Defense Forces now. This army is still the basis of his power, which is equivalent to the basis for the country to maintain such a status. Although it is abnormal, it is also the reality of the current stage of the Republic of China. He had to pay attention to the situation of this army.

Li Rui's thoughts were very radical, very simple, and even pure. In the fifth year of the founding of the Republic of China, the entire country still did not completely get rid of the old era! The original political group, the original representatives of local forces, the big landlords, and emerging capitalists, knew that in the military, they could no longer fight against the new group represented by their National Defense Forces. They also seized power at all levels through legal means through the form of a republic deliberately maintained by Yuchen, and were still the mainstream of this society. They were still the silly of this nation! They used the situation opened by the army and the situation of national unity created by Yuchen. They mastered resources, mastered the market, and even used the situation of the European war to open up international markets!

All interest groups are making a fortune by taking advantage of the National Defense Forces' achievements. However, the land problem among the people has not been solved. In their hometowns, the parents of the National Defense Forces soldiers from peasants are still other people's tenants. The wounded returned to the countryside and bought small pieces of land with disability pensions. In a blink of an eye, they were still taken away by those initially industrialized landlords or agricultural capital! In the city, industry has developed initially, but the workers' working conditions are poor, and there are also the most outrageous slave-style plundering methods such as contract workers. In order to obtain the greatest profit and to squeeze out the most value, these new capitalists never think about whether they have a conscience! Such a problem must be solved!

The resentful Li Rui proposed a solution, one is domestic transformation. Domestic transformation must rely on the most glorious, advanced, and most sacrificed group that emerged in the rejuvenation of this nation - the National Defense Forces! Now the parliament must be dissolved. The same is true for local parliaments at all levels. The governments produced by parliament naturally lose their legal effect. As the supreme head of the country, the representative of the new state power organs, the president must be re-elected. And what kind of people have the right to vote and be elected? Only those who have had national defense.

People with military service experience! This concept can also be extended to the service personnel of local security forces. These one to two million people have the experience of sacrificing and paying for the country. They must be the most selfless, loyal and strongest! They come from the people and know the sufferings of the people. They understand the importance of discipline and obey orders. Only by forming such a new regime can the country's limited resources be concentrated, the various ugly phenomena brought by this country from the old era can the country be completely eradicated!

Second, the expansion of the power of the Republic of China internationally. Li Rui reviewed the path of expansion of great powers for hundreds of years and came to his conclusion. All of the current Western powers have gained their current status under bloody bayonets! They gained the living space of their nation through war, colonization, and plunder. They obtained resources, accumulated capital, and established an empire. If China wants to become stronger, after unifying its domestic will, they must repeat their path! The current situation is unprecedented. The President's painstaking management ushered in its current strategic position. The Western world is in a melee and weakened each other. The relationship between the United States and China is good, and after the Philippines

They are not very interested in the expansion of their territory. Russia is almost collapsed by the two biggest threats facing China's territory. Japan has been defeated by the National Defense Forces. Almost all Asia is open to the Republic of China! Now the power of the National Defense Forces is no match for Asia. North Korea must be fully controlled by the Republic of China, and at the same time, it is necessary to take action against the traditional Chinese sphere of influence, such as the Indochina Peninsula, Indochina, etc.! It is the best development direction for China to obtain resources and obtain living space. Strive to form a strategic alliance in the Pacific with the United States. Striving to turn Asia into China's Asia! Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime experience, the National Defense Forces draw their swords in Asia in Asia, and there is no good opportunity for their opponents to draw their swords in Asia!

After the paper was full of passion, Li Rui once again expressed his absolute allegiance to Yuchen and his huge expectations for Yuchen. In the eyes of this young defense force hero, only Yuchen has this reputation, ability, and also has the responsibility to fulfill such a major historical mission! He and Yang Du did have contacts, but they just discussed the theory of how this country was transformed. Li Rui still stubbornly insisted that Yang Du is a rare talent with insight and historical vision among politicians. It definitely did not go against the president's intention. If the president is not at ease with him, he can hand over all the power in his hands at any time and stand on the front line of Europe and go to the mine formation like an assault engineer! His only requirement is to die as a member of the defense force!

Reading the excited Wanyan Book of the young general, Yuchen shrugged his shoulder coldly: "Is this the preface to "My Struggle" of the Republic of China?" He didn't say anything anymore. Instead, he fell into long-term contemplation. Li Rui wanted to use radical methods to solve all the problems he saw. This simple method is a great temptation for every young man. They are passionate, but they have no strategy, and they are even more impatient. They think history is developing in a straight line. But Yuchen is different from them. He knows what happened in history and how history laughs at the simple and pure enthusiasm of these young people with ruthless facts. To make this country develop for a long time, it is necessary to rely on this country to solve the problems they are facing now. He has removed the biggest obstacle to the development of this country, and her development will not be interrupted by the huge threat of national survival in the future. Now it is time to look at the nation's own.

…………But in Yuchen’s heart, there is still an uncontrollable voice. If you follow the current call of the National Defense Forces, you will become the most powerful person in this country! No one can restrict you. You can further transform the country as you wish and let the history of this country develop according to your wishes! You know the right path, you can not make mistakes! You can leave an immortal reputation in history! This great era that makes you intoxicated and you have control over everything will continue!

Standing on the platform, Yuchen's thoughts fluctuated. Should he take Li Rui and send him to Europe? Or would he give him another chance? See what step he can do? What is his answer? He believes that he has the ability to master the overall situation and believes that the highest spiritual leader of the National Defense Force is himself. Yuchen has never believed the threat of Li Rui's mutiny from the beginning. No one can threaten his position in the National Defense Force! The only question now is how to deal with this trend of thought represented by Li Rui! Should he let it go or suppress it?

"Here! Come!" A huge commotion came from the crowd. At the intersection of Guangfu Road in front of the Presidential Palace, at the entrance of Guangfu Square, amid the earth-shaking cheers, an iron army suddenly appeared! Everyone's eyes turned in that direction, and all the cheers came out toward it. Flowers and ribbons were cast on the buildings on both sides of the street, and they fell on these soldiers who had returned from war! Walking in the front were Li Rui riding a white war horse, his staff, and several heroic division commanders.

Some people were wearing the most dazzling military uniforms and riding on war horses. The world-famous "Armored King Dengke", Major General Wang Dengke of the First Armored Division even held the late Marshal's scepter of the late Marshal Cai E and advanced side by side with Li Rui. Behind them were two rows of lieutenants who had won the medals of honor at all levels, all of whom were the most ingenious and solemn temperaments. Wearing horse boots that were higher than the knees, they kicked in a straight stance at the entrance of Guangfu Square. The neat military boots hit the cement square road, and the neat voice resounded throughout the sky!

These young officers were covered with flags of the Japanese army under their arms. These flags given by the Japanese emperor represent the sacred symbols of the fate of the Japanese army. They all lowered their once arrogant heads. They were tightly attached to the ground, as if they were expressing their defeat to the people of the capital. The 15th Regiment, the 19th Regiment, the 21st Regiment, the 23rd Regiment, the 27th Regiment, the 28th Regiment, the 41st Regiment, the 5th Regiment, the 7th Regiment, the 19th Regiment, the 5th Regiment, the 6th Regiment, the 8th Regiment...... These once prides of the Imperial Japanese Army have now been destroyed in the hands of the National Defense Forces!

The cheers have reached their highest point. Behind these officers are the "Guyanshan" infantry regiment of the Anmeng Army's First Division, the "Long Live" regiment of the Second Combat Engineer, the "Luodongjiang" regiment of the Ninth Division, the "Pingyong" regiment of the 18th Division, and the representatives of the elite wolf and tiger divisions of the First Armored Division. They are dressed in neat military uniforms, holding rifles, and all are covered with sharp bayonets, reflecting dazzling light in the summer sun of the capital. The young faces are full of pride and pride, and they are tightly stalked, walking in front of the people of the capital and in front of their supreme commander. The torrent of the rolling iron army seems to be surging endlessly!

Lieutenant General He Sui, the reviewing ceremony, gave a command: "Stand at attention! Salute to the National Defense Army!" All the people on the rostrum, including the soldiers watching the ceremony below, stood up and saluted. The soldiers were so excited that they trembled all over, and their hands on their eyebrows were covered with sweat. Looking at such a mighty and majestic victorious army, these soldiers who did not participate in the war in the Northeast were in a great regret! Why are they not one of them? The people also have government representatives, and the representatives of the parliamentarians all touched their chests with their right hands, with a solemn expression. At this time, most of them were simply proud in their hearts. Look at our National Defense Army, look at the flags of these invaders, and look at our Republic of China! We won this battle again. As long as this National Defense Army is still there, we will continue to win!

Yuchen stood up and saluted, standing at the highest point. The years since Ban Chao's plan began, passed by quickly in front of his eyes. So many days and nights of painstaking efforts, so many people sacrificed without regrets. His pursuit and dedication in this era suddenly filled his heart. He suddenly ignored the future. At this moment, he just wanted to be with the army he created to celebrate this great victory and celebrate the victory of the national revenge battle. I came, I saw it, and I also won! All efforts seemed to be rewarded at this moment. His eyes suddenly filled with tears. It was the first time he came to this world.

Li Rui and his group came to the rostrum and stopped. They rode on the horse and saluted Yuchen neatly. Li Rui's face was full of pride, looking straight into Yuchen's eyes without any retreat. He seemed to be announcing to Yuchen that I have won, and I will bring you greater glory! Yuchen's eyes stared at Li Rui and turned to Cai E's marshal's scepter raised high in Wang Dengke's hand. At this moment, how many people have been sacrificed! The sacred flame of national rejuvenation burned more and more

The higher the number of people is ignited. What should I do to not let them down? The officers holding the Japanese military flag rolled past Li Rui and the others without stopping, and under the eyes of everyone, they threw Japanese military flags in front of the monument to the Restoration Heroes. These blood-stained flags represent the complete failure of the East Asian power that has been eyeing this country and this nation since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and are full of ambitiousness.

A huge cheer suddenly broke out in the crowd.

History has finally changed! And the great era has come to its strongest time.

At the celebration banquet that night, Yuchen was drunk rarely. He came without hesitation and toasted everyone he could meet until he was carried back to the bedroom. He tossed and turned around on the bed with a burp. He just murmured: "Is it Washington or Napoleon? What should I do next?"

Hui Yingci looked at his colonel's epaulette in the mirror, and then quietly put the military cap on his head. When it was late at night, he was wearing such a straight military uniform, which seemed a little silly. However, the promising colonel looked very calm. He kept posing in front of the mirror. After a closer look, he was learning Yuchen's gesture of speaking, Yuchen's not very standard salute posture, Yuchen's walking posture, Yuchen's posture of thinking behind his hands......I can't wait any longer...If this opportunity did not appear, maybe he would serve as a loyal dog in Yuchen for a long time, and was excited for every little bit of praise he had, and slowly climbed up the ladder of power.

But in this era, how can I wait for the time to flow slowly! The longer I am with Yuchen, the deeper I study Yuchen, the more surprised he discovers the mystery of Yuchen's origin and the same miracle as the achievements he created. The poor and weak China has reached this point, and there is no explanation for everything he did to Yuchen except destiny! Perhaps the only narrow shortcut in history is just a narrow shortcut, around this shortcut, there is a deep abyss. But Yuchen has caught it. Luck or something else is unreplicable. But Hui Yingci knows in his heart that the era of heroes is about to come to an end. If he wants to be like Yuchen, he can only grasp the tail of the times. To make achievements, it is necessary to make achievements as early as possible! Yuchen's absurd plans have all succeeded one by one, so why can't he do it?

If you succeed, you have everything, and if you fail, it's just that. Just take a gamble! When the times are not completely over and there is a last chance, even if you fight for everything, you must seize it! The temptation of power is something that no one can resist. Especially himself, the flame in his chest has burned so much that he can't sleep or eat.

He finally stopped fiddling in front of the mirror, sat in front of the table, and began to carefully read the recent plan and related information of the inner guard.

He Sui has taken over as commander-in-chief of the Northern War Zone, and he will leave Nanjing for the latest date to take office on September 3. He will arrange a routine protection plan for He Sui to go north. At the same time, Li Rui will stay in Nanjing until September 10, and will leave Nanjing with the vanguard of the Fifth Army and rush to Europe.

Premier Song Jiaoren went to Shanghai on August 30 to participate in Sino-Japanese negotiations, and rushed back to Nanjing on September 2. He participated in the government's industrial demobilization plan meeting and the treasury bond sorting plan meeting. The parliamentary rally that was urgently convened during the war will also be suspended and disbanded on September 3. On the evening of the 2nd, Song Jiaoren had to have a dinner with the parliamentarians.
