A man with a medium-sized top hat covered his head and face deeply under the escort of two Axe Gang disciples quickly walked up the gangway of the Japanese freighter. A Japanese ronin who had been waiting there for a long time brought the three of them into the cabin where Toyama Manta and Inuyasu were. At this time, the man took off the top hat and was a gentle and slightly gloomy middle-aged man. He is Wang Yaqiao, a member of the China GCD Central Bureau and Chairman of the China Labor Federation!

This time, he was ordered by Chang Ruiqing to escort Comrade Yue Fei, the deputy diplomatic and people's commissar who had arrived in Shanghai secretly, to Fuzhou to negotiate with the Japanese envoys. After sending Yue Fei to Fuzhou safely, he came to Mawei Wharf to greet Japanese envoys Toyama and Inuyasu.

But what are the benefits of his running back and forth and joining the alliance between Japan and Russia?

This question has always lingered in his heart. At this moment, when he saw two cunning Japanese secret envoys, he smiled and expressed his peace of mind. He was still smiling and said in a hurry. He didn't know what to say. In the end, Toushanman saw that Wang Yaqiao was a little confused and smiled and said first: "Mr. Jiuguang... Mr. Jiuguang? Has the representative of the Russian Soviet government already arrived in Fuzhou? When can we meet him?"

Wang Yaqiao finally broke free from his mind, and looked to the head of the mountain, Inuyangyi smiled politely: "Oh, Mr. Yue Fei, the representative of the Russian Soviet Government, has arrived in Fuzhou and lives in Fuzhou City."

......

"General Chang, when will I meet Comrade Zuomin from the Red Brigade?"

In the flower hall in the Fujian Army General Command in Fuzhou City, a casual banquet is the time for guests and guests to have fun.

This place was originally the home of the Fujian Governor's Office during the Qing Dynasty. After the Revolution of 1911, it became the Fujian Governor's Office. After Li Houji arrived in Fujian, he invested huge amounts of money to expand. Unexpectedly, he was assassinated and died as soon as the expansion project was completed.

Now, this place has become Chang Ruiqing's large stronghold in Fuzhou City, with live ammunition in and out of the room - they are all recruited from Chang Ruiqing's hometown Xuzhou. Some of them are still members of the Chang and Wang family!

As for the maids and servants who were shuttled back and forth, they were all "cadre-level" and were all under the jurisdiction of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fujian Army. This special agency is under the name of Fuxing Society and is directly controlled by Wang Ruonan and Zhao Xianger.

So in this headquarters, Chang Ruiqing can feel at ease and boldly entertain Comrade Yue Fei, deputy diplomatic people's committee member from Soviet Russia, without worrying about any leaks!

However, when Yue Fei proposed to meet Comrade Zuo Min, Chang Ruiqing still waved to the "servants" who were serving him and sent them out.

Seeing that there were only two people left in the flower hall, Chang Ruiqing put down his cup, looked at Yue Fei with a smile, and slowly said in English: "Comrade Yue Fei, you want to meet Zuo Min from the Red Brigade, right? Then you have seen it now!"

Yue Fei was stunned when he heard this, and a surprised expression flashed across his face. Looking at Chang Ruiqing's face that smiled like a spring breeze, it took a while to react and murmured: "I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it... It seems that Comrade Lenin's wish to invite Comrade Zuo Min to visit Russia is not yet able to achieve it."

After hearing Yue Fei's words, Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "I admire Comrade Lenin very much. Although I cannot leave China for the time being, I believe it will not take long. I will be able to visit Russia as the leader of the Chinese state."

Yue Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and once again showed a surprised expression: "So, China has a plan to win the comprehensive victory of the Chinese proletarian revolution?"

Chang Ruiqing smiled and shook his head gently: "It's not a proletarian revolution, but a bourgeois revolution! My view on the nature of the Chinese revolution is still the bourgeois revolution."

He smiled and raised his glass of wine: "Let me spread it out, and all countries have their national conditions. Naturally, the revolutions of all countries cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. Of course, it is appropriate for us internationalist parties to support each other and help each other, just like now we are now GCD to help the Russian Revolution... But you still have to take the big idea yourself, do you think so?"

Chang Ruiqing had something in his words, so Yue Fei could certainly hear it. In fact, in addition to negotiating with the Japanese, he also shouldered another special mission, which was to persuade China and Russia to jointly launch an international political party alliance to guide the world revolution.

Looking at Chang Ruiqing's reserved smile, he just nodded slowly: "I understand what you mean, but we still think that the truth of Marxism is a universal principle that applies to revolutions in various countries. As long as we analyze it based on the principles of Marxism, we can definitely find a way to win. And we, the first to achieve revolutionary victory in the country, are of course obliged to impart our revolutionary experience to those revolutionaries in various countries who are still in the process of groping and confusion. So Comrade Lenin believes that it is necessary to establish an international GCist party alliance, specifically responsible for guiding and helping foreign GCists who have not yet achieved revolutionary victory..."

Chang Ruiqing looked at Yue Fei and said lightly: "Does the Russian Communist Party want to establish an international political party alliance similar to the Second International?"

Yue Fei nodded solemnly: "Comrade Lenin means exactly this. Since the Second International has now embarked on the wrong route and betrayed the interests of the working class, we must establish another Third International to shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the world revolution!"

Chang Ruiqing frowned slightly and spoke carefully: "What is the position of the Russian Republic in this international political party alliance?"

Yue Fei smiled slightly: "Comrade Lenin believes that all countries, regardless of their size, strength, and status in the Third International should be equal. They are branches of the Third International and will receive assistance and guidance from the Third International..."

What is the GC International of this party? Chang Ruiqing is actually better than Yue Fei! He frowned: "Where is the headquarters of the Third International? If I was not wrong, it should be on Russian territory? And the funds of the Third International must be only provided by Russian GCD... There is an allusion in our Chinese history that calls the emperor to command the princes. I wonder if Mr. Yue Fei has heard of it?"

Yue Fei leaned on the back of the chair, looked directly at Chang Ruiqing, and nodded coldly: "Comrade Chang Ruiqing, what do you mean? Did you compare our Russian GCD to a feudal monarch with ulterior motives?"

The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became depressed and low. The two revolutionaries who were drinking and talking just now looked at each other with serious expressions.

I don’t know how long it took to hear Chang Ruiqing smile and pat the table gently: “Zhong G can support the establishment of the Third International. But Zhong G will not become the branch of the Third International. We can only join the Third International as an observer, and the Third International cannot absorb any other Chinese political party to become its branch. This is the bottom line for us to continue to cooperate with Russia GCD! I think we still have to continue to cooperate, right?”

After saying this, Chang Ruiqing looked at Yue Fei in front of him with bright eyes. It is not in 1921, and the Russian civil war has just begun! And the situation seems to be quite unfavorable to the Russian Communist Party. Zhong G is not the small small party with only dozens of party members. Chang Ruiqing does not expect the Russian red rubles. Now he just wants an ally who can cooperate equally, not a foreign godfather!

Yue Fei smiled faintly: "I will tell Comrade Zuomin what he meant to Comrade Lenin truthfully. I think Comrade Lenin will definitely fully consider the position of China G and give you a satisfactory reply. Then let's discuss the possibility of the "Russia, China, and Japan" three-country alliance, a representative of Japan. Now we are about to arrive in Fuzhou, right?"

......

Beijing has entered a spring with half spring and half wind and sand at this time. As the main battlefield of the anti-Russian struggle of the Red Brigade moved to North Manchuria, the royal city gradually restored its original peaceful and peaceful rhythm of life. The topic that was discussed most frequently in the market also changed from the original anti-imperialist brigade to the "North-South Peace Talk" held in Shanghai. There was also the "United Provincial Autonomy and Peaceful Reunification" proposed by Sun Yat-sen.

In contrast to the support of the local warlords and gentry, the proposal of autonomy for the province has almost been unanimously opposed by the people and the upper class of Beijing! After all, Beijing is the capital of the state, like Luoyi of the Zhou emperor. Even if the whole world is "autonomous", the country will always be directly under the central government, right? Otherwise, wouldn't the Republic of China have no sign? Moreover, the central government in the Beiyang always has to spend money, and the local government is "autonomous". Isn't the burden of maintaining the central government going to fall on the common people in Beijing? In the past two months, various names of additional levies, donations, etc. have emerged one after another.

So the residents in the Sijiu City sighed when they mentioned this "unilateral autonomy": "It seems that the world is really going to be in chaos!" But the owners of this capital are still trying every means to maintain the current situation of immortality in China.

Duan Qirui was wearing a military uniform, and a few old men dressed in long gowns, jackets or suits and ties, dressed as civil servants and celebrities in a living room in the No. 2 Army Department of Tieshizi Hutong. They were discussing how to deal with the proposal of "peaceful reunification of Hunan" just proposed by the Southern Law Guardian Military Government.

Duan Qirui picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip, frowned and said, "The conditions proposed by Sun Yat-sen seem to be quite generous. His Kuomintang and Tan Zu'an did not participate in the election of the Hunan Provincial Parliament, but I always feel that things are not that simple, not that simple!"

Xu Shuzheng smiled coldly. He had manipulated the Anfu Congress and understood the rules of the game of party politics better than Duan Qirui, so he was qualified to explain this issue to Duan Qirui: "Of course it's not that simple. Their KMT's failure to participate in the election of the Hunan Provincial Parliament does not mean that their KMT members cannot run for election in their personal names or in the name of GCD members! As for Tan Zu'an not participating, it's even more nonsense. Even if he personally does not participate in the election of the Hunan Provincial Senate, he can still support others in the election!"

Duan Qirui nodded and said lightly: "Youzheng is right. That's the case. Sun Yat-sen wants to drive our people away by using the 'peaceful reunification' Hunan!" As he said that, he swept the few people in the room: "Youzheng, Bingsan, Qingjie... How do you think we should deal with this?"

Xu Shuzheng snorted: "We can't agree to this matter! This 'unilateral autonomy' was proposed by Sun Yat-sen. The election should be in Guangdong! Why is he engaged in military and political affairs in Guangdong? Instead, we are in Hunan to elect?"

Hearing these words, Duan Qirui shook his head slowly. Hunan does not belong to Beiyang, but half of the north and south. It is the fuse and main battlefield of the last Civil War. It is indeed a bit of justice to use the method of electing provincial parliament to achieve peaceful reunification of Hunan. If Beiyang proposes to elect first in Guangdong, the Kuomintang will definitely ask Jiangsu or Zhejiang to follow up. If Beiyang agrees at that time, Guangdong will definitely not be able to take it down. Jiangsu and Zhejiang will most likely have to lose it! If Beiyang does not agree, then Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang have GCD, but they will have an excuse to cause trouble again, and the people in Beiyang hope that they will lose it a few more!

Duan Qirui turned his attention to Xiong Xiling. The first "democratic elected prime minister" of the Republic of China is also from Hunan. He is the only bargaining chip in Beiyang that can be used to fight against Tan Yankai in Hunan. Xiong Xiling shook her head in embarrassment: "Zhiquan, I'm not sure. I can't choose!"

Duan Qirui sighed. In fact, he himself knew that the people who could not choose Sun Yat-sen and Tan Yankai in Hunan were not because Xiong Xiling had insufficient reputation, but because the Beiyang side provoked a dispute between the north and the south in Hunan, causing the people of Hunan to fall into war, which had long since become disheartened by the Hunan people!

Just when he was hesitant and didn't know what to do, a report suddenly sounded outside the door, and a staff officer from the Army pushed the door in with a telegram. Fu Liangzuo, who was close to the door, took the telegram, glanced for a few seconds and suddenly shouted.

Duan Qirui glanced at Fu Liangzuo, who was born in Hunan but was not popular among Hunan people: "Qingjie. Whose telegram?"

"It was a telegram from Wu Ziyu, the commander of the Third Division!" Fu Liangzuo said happily: "He made suggestions for the election in Hunan."

"What did you say?" Duan Qirui frowned and asked.

"Wu Ziyu advocates choosing! Even if she knows she will lose, she still needs to choose!"

"Why?" several people in the room asked at the same time. Isn't that a fool to choose even though I know I lost?

Fu Liangzuo laughed and said, "Because if we lose the election of the Hunan Provincial Senate, Beiyang will be united again!" He handed the telegram to Duan Qirui with both hands, and Duan Qirui took it and read it in one line. He gave it to Xu Shuzheng again.

Xu Shuzheng took it and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but scream: "I didn't expect that this Wu Xiucai had such insights. It's so impressive! Wu Ziyu's analysis made sense. Beiyang is not afraid of losing the Hunan election now. What we are afraid of is the separation of people, and what the governors dominate the side are afraid of whether the provincial autonomy is the governor who wants to dominate the Hunan election! If this Hunan election is lost, the powerful people in Beiyang can see the real intention of Sun Yat-sen's so-called provincial autonomy! As long as they can stand on the central side again, we will be afraid of nothing!"

Duan Qirui turned his head and looked at Xiong Xiling with a smile: "Brother Bing San, please go and choose boldly. It doesn't matter if you win or not."

A luxurious mansion in Hengyang City, Hunan Province has now become the temporary residence of Mao Zd, a member of the Central Bureau of the Central G, who is in the name of Wu Peifu's aide. During this period, people like intellectuals from all over Hunan have been constantly coming in and out here.

Today, as soon as the power to "trial" the joint autonomous region of the Beiyang government came out, a middle-aged man in a hurry walked into the mansion. After passing two doors, he saw Mao Zd greeted him: "Mr. Yang, you are here! You know that we are all waiting for you! By the way, I just received the news that the Beiyang government has agreed to try autonomous region in Hunan!"

The middle-aged man was Mao ZD's teacher in the No. 1 Normal School, named Yang Changji, uh, Yang Kaihui's father! He is also a little famous person in Hunan. He was also very active in the "anti-imperialist movement" a while ago, but he was not driven away by Zhang Jingyao. He was still teaching in Changsha. Unexpectedly, he received a handwritten letter from his student Mao ZD a week ago, asking him to come to Hengyang to discuss the Hunan election. At this time, Yang Changji already knew that Mao ZD had been elected as a member of the China GCD Central Bureau (it was published in the newspaper), so he rushed over.

At this time, when he heard that the Beiyang government had agreed to "trial autonomy" in Hunan, Yang Changji was so excited that he couldn't speak. Mao Zd poured him a cup of tea. He took the tea cup and drank a few sips before calming down. He said excitedly: "Great! It's so good! China finally has hope now. By the way, Runzhi, when I entered the door just now, I saw two Beiyang soldiers standing guard at the door. What's going on?"

Mao Zd just smiled and nodded, and pulled Yang Changji to sit down. The Beiyang soldiers have a bad reputation in Hunan at present. From gentry and celebrities to ordinary people, they are not very willing to deal with them. So it is not surprising that Yang Changji is puzzled when he sees the Beiyang soldiers standing guard at his door.

Thinking of this, Mao Zd smiled slightly and explained: "Teacher, I am now an aide to the Beiyang warlord Wu Peifu. This house was also arranged by Master Wu to live in. Moreover, in this Hunan Provincial Local Election, our China GCD will also carry out secret cooperation with Wu Peifu, with the purpose of helping him become the governor of Hunan! I invite the teacher to Hengyang for this reason!" (To be continued...)
