Nanjing Zhongshan, Jiang JShi Mansion.

Although Jiang JShi has resigned from the position of vice chairman of the military committee, his news is still very well-informed. As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, he learned about the news of the Battle of the Black Water River.

"These bandits are overestimating their abilities. It seems that they can't escape the situation of annihilation. Brother Shi, do you think what else can we do from it?"

The person who spoke was Xu Chongzhi. After the Kuomintang was divided and reorganized, he and Hu Hanmin, Jiang JShi, Xie Chi and Sun Ke were tied for the five Kuomintang giants. Today, the five Kuomintang giants gathered at the old Jiang family to discuss the deployment of next year's general election.

Jiang JShi sighed: "Of course there are many things that can be done, but you are the eldest brother. What I saw from this Battle of Heishuihe is the lesson of the failure of the People's Revolutionary Party!"

Hu Hanmin interrupted, "What lesson?"

"GCD's unity! Although there are factional struggles within gCD, it is consistent on external issues. Our Kuomintang is far inferior to gcd."

After Chiang Kai-shek said this, Sun Yat-sen's eldest son, Sun Ke, also sighed: "Brother J Shi, you are right. The biggest problem of our Kuomintang is disunity. Now even Mr. Song (referring to Soong Ching Ling) has rebelled against the party and joined the Communist Party... Brother J Shi, look at this election, do we still have hope?"

Jiang JShi thought about it carefully, and finally nodded in a key point and said, "Yes! Mr. Zhesheng, I think we can still make a difference in this election. But it is not about taking office, but about planning for future democratic politics."

"Future democratic politics? J. Brother Shi. What do you mean... this election is not democratic?" Xu Chongzhi said inexplicably.

Jiang JShi glanced at Xu Chongzhi and asked back, "Do you really think that if Chang Yaoru couldn't choose, he would hand over the power?"

Several members of the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee in the room looked at each other and said in unison: "No. No... If he is not sure about being elected, he will definitely not give up the dictatorship!"

"When did he give up his dictatorship?" Jiang JShi sneered: "He just put a layer of democracy on his dictatorship through this election! Chang Yaoru is both a bitch and a archway! If GCD really loses to our Kuomintang in this election, I am 200% sure that he will raise his butcher knife to kill us!"

"Then what else can we choose?" Xie Chi, the Minister of the Kuomintang Organization, suddenly stood up, looking angry: "If this is true, it's better to rebel with the People's Revolutionary Party!"

"Brother Huisheng, then we will be surrounded by the Hei Shui River together!" Jiang JShi sneered: "Chang Yaoru is a smart man. He is still happy to play elections with us, and he will also disguise himself as Washington in China. But... Washington has only served as the president of the United States for two terms. He, Chang Yaoru, probably wants to be the president of the tenth term of China, right?"

After hearing what Jiang JShi said, the faces of several Kuomintang bosses looked even more ugly. Chang Ruiqing is only 31 years old this year, and by 1926, he would only be 33 years old. If the term of Chinese president was four years, he would only be 73 years old as a 10th president under Chang Ruiqing's situation. In this way, what hope does the Kuomintang have?

Xu Chongzhi shouted: "No. We must find ways to promote legislation to stipulate the maximum re-election period of the president, and we cannot let Chang Yaoru be the lifelong president!"

Jiang JShi shook his head slightly, "This method is not good, let alone whether the parliament can pass it, even if such legislation is passed now, it will be a piece of cake to change the law and let him be re-elected indefinitely in ten or eight years." As he said that, he looked back at Hu Hanmin: "Mr. Zhan, do you think so?"

Hu Hanmin nodded silently. Jiang JShi smiled slightly and then said: "According to my ideas, it is better to build a responsible cabinet."

"The Cabinet of Responsibility?" Hu Hanmin was stunned and asked, "What does J Shi mean to follow Song Dunchu and use the Cabinet of Responsibility to limit the rights of President Chang Yaoru?"

Jiang JShi smiled and waved his hand and said, "No, that's not what it means. Chang Yaoru is not Yuan Shikai. They are the largest party in the parliament, and Chang Yaoru can be the prime minister by himself. Moreover, the prime ministers or prime ministers of the responsible cabinets of countries around the world have no maximum term limit. As long as Chang Yaoru is willing, it will be fine to die."

Hu Hanmin shook his head, as if he didn't quite understand: "J Brother Shi, what are the benefits of such a responsible cabinet to us?"

Jiang JShi smiled at Hu Hanmin and said, "Zhan Gong, of course we have benefits. After all, the responsible cabinet is responsible for the parliament, and the presidential system is responsible for the voters. Compared with the two, under the responsible cabinet system, the power of the parliament is much greater. Although we are only an opposition party, the power of the parliament is always beneficial. In addition, under the responsible cabinet system, the burden on the cabinet prime minister Chang Yaoru is much heavier. Since he wants to control the regime for a long time, he should truly take responsibility for governing the country himself. He cannot hold military power like he is now and hide behind the scenes, and arrange a confidant to be the prime minister in front of him.

And it is really difficult for our country to manage well. As long as Chang Yaoru comes to Taiwan, there will be times when he makes mistakes. Can the Prime Minister, the responsible cabinet, not bear any responsibility? Even if he can't rush him to step down, it will be beneficial to our future election battle."

The Kuomintang bosses sitting there were frequently nodding. Later, Hu Hanmin shook his head and said, "J Shi's idea is very good, but how can Chang Yao not see through the mystery? If he insists on implementing the presidential system, what can we do?"

Jiang JShi smiled faintly and said, "Isn't this bandit suppression now an opportunity? If Chang Yaoru wants the entire country to stand with him and completely make everyone beat the Trotskyists, then the help of the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party will be indispensable."

Originally, in the legislative and senate chambers, the power of GCD and the Kuomintang was not different. The two parties together included more than 80% of the seats in the parliament, and less than 20% of the seats remained shared by several small parties, among which the Progressive Party, controlled by the Beiyang Remnants, had the most seats. Now, although some of the Kuomintang members defected to the GCD camp, GCD still only had a simple majority in the parliament before the 1925 election result came out. Moreover, the Progressive Party, in addition to controlling certain parliamentary seats, also controlled quite powerful political resources and propaganda tools. If, on the stance of anti-Trust and anti-Soviet, GCD, the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party could not maintain a consistent position, it would be very difficult for Chang Ruiqing to completely eliminate the Trotskyist faction's power in China.

However, Hu Hanmin seemed to have some other thoughts. He hesitated to Jiang JShi and said, "Brother JShi, if we are consistent with GCD Chang Yaoru on the issue of purging Trotsky and opposing the Soviet Union, then we would offend Trotsky to death. Isn't this right?"

Jiang JShi waved his hand and said seriously: "Zhan Gong, this is a must! It is not 5 years ago, 10 years ago. Now China has become one of the great powers. External powers like GC International can make trouble for China. But it is absolutely impossible to have a decisive impact on China's political situation! This time the disastrous defeat of the People's Revolutionary Party is proof of this time. We cannot follow the footsteps of the People's Revolutionary Party, so we must take the right position on external issues... We are both GCD and Chang Yaoru in terms of governing the country. We can also fight with them in the parliament, but we must and can only keep our consistency with them when it comes to external affairs. Otherwise, the survival of our Kuomintang will be a problem!"

Speaking of this, how can a veteran politician like Hu Hanmin understand? Without breaking up the big stage of China, Chang Ruiqing is willing to play the game of parliamentary struggle with the Kuomintang and the Progressive Party, and allow them to slowly continue their political capital. Maybe in the future, Chang Ruiqing's left-ministering democracy would have set a roadmap for the development from national socialism to democratic socialism? Moreover, Chang Ruiqing has said more than once that he does not want to build a Soviet-style bureaucratic machine to leave it to his successor. But if the Kuomintang wants to break up, then Chang Ruiqing may tear off the mask of democracy at any time. The current National Defense Forces are the iron-clad Chang's army!

Hu Hanmin nodded silently: "J-Shi brother is right," he glanced at Sun Ke and said: "Brother Zhesheng, you are close to Chang Yaoru. Why don't you talk to him and give him some of our meanings."

Sun Ke knew that Hu Hanmin was referring to the relationship between his cheap sister Sun Yuexun and Chang Ruiqing. His cheeks turned red and nodded: "Mr. Zhan, I'll visit Chang Yaoru another day and talk to him."

Hu Hanmin smiled with satisfaction and said to Jiang JShi: "Although we cannot demolish Chang Yaoru's platform, we should still regard exempting agricultural taxes as soon as possible and improving farmers' lives as our party's election program... Farmers account for more than 90% of the national population. Our party must try every means to expand its influence in rural areas and among farmers, so we need to establish a farmer association organization led by us. JShi. I want to hand over this work to you. Can you do it well?"

Since Jiang JShi decided to play the election, he certainly knew that he wanted to seize the big votes of farmers, so he nodded and agreed. Then Hu Hanmin arranged some matters related to the 1925 general election, and then announced that the end of this meeting of the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee.

...

The Chinese People's Revolutionary Army, besieged by the Blackwater River, also carried the radio station, so the GC prophet in the Kremlin also learned about their defeat at the first time.

"Traitor! Traitor..."

Trotsky's roar made the officials waiting to meet outside the office hold their breath and silence. They all guessed in their hearts that it was annoyed by the revolutionary prophet and now it has been blocked as a traitor...

Vates looked at Trotsky silently, and he felt a little depressed. For some reason, the world revolution was smooth elsewhere, but in China, he always encountered various misfortunes?

The traitor in the words of the revolutionary prophet was Mao ZD! Skrynsky had just brought him Otto Braun's telegram, which was said to be the "last report". More than 10,000 mobs of the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army were surrounded by the Blackwater River and were being attacked by several Chinese reactionary troops, and were about to be wiped out!

Of course, Trotsky would not worry about the lives and death of more than 10,000 Chinese peasants. What really made him feel distressed was the backbone of the People's Revolutionary Party! The internationalist fighters in the GC International Sect, as well as the backbone of the Trotsky Sect lurking among the Northwest Central G cadres, were all concentrated in the Kinta, and this time it was considered that people would have caught them all. Such losses could have been avoided. If it weren't for Mao ZD sending guns, bullets and food, Ren Fucheng and Braun would have brought the troops to the Kobdo grassland long ago, and they would not have dragged so many mobs, and the flexibility of the troops would not have been so poor...

What made Trotsky even more angry was that Mao ZD also launched a campaign to clear Soviet spies in several provinces in northwestern China! The Soviet Union had suffered heavy losses in the Chinese intelligence network due to Natalie Lesinskaya's rebellion. Now the Trotsky forces in northwestern China have suffered heavy losses. At this moment, all Trotsky's export of revolution to China was eliminated.

"Comrade Trotsky, our construction temporarily stops or cancels the further export of revolution to China. In our ease of relations with the UK, the Parliament should focus on accelerating the construction of domestic heavy industry and lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive outbreak of world revolution in the future."

Vates suggested that as a military expert, he knew the dangers of fighting on both sides. Now the Soviet Union is confronting Germany in the west. If the Sino-Soviet war also starts on the eastern front due to continuous export of revolutions to China, the Soviet Union's strategic situation will fluctuate abnormally.

Skrynsky also advised: "Comrade Trotsky, although the uprising of the Chinese People's Revolutionary Party is facing failure, they still fulfilled their mission to combat China's revisionism. The Chinese reactionary government will be forced to use more financial and material resources to improve the lives of farmers. In this way, their pace of heavy industry construction will inevitably be slowed down. Therefore, the winner of this round of competition will still be our Soviet Union!"

After he said this, Trotsky's face suddenly looked much better. He also knew the foundation of the Soviet Union very well. The last Persian war actually won a very lucky victory. The current Soviet Union is a standard external force to fight on the inside, but it has no strength to fight another large-scale war.

Trotsky snorted softly, and as soon as he was about to give an order, a report came from outside the office door. Trotsky shouted angrily: "Come in."

Trotsky's secretary pushed the door open and came in: "Comrade Trotsky, Comrade Chichelin's telegram."

"Think." Trotsky said softly. Chechlin was still negotiating with British Foreign Minister Chamberlain in Finland. Now there should be good news.

"Love Comrade Trotsky, British Foreign Secretary Chamberlain has agreed to all our requests. The formal agreement will be signed tomorrow, and the United Kingdom promises not to participate in sanctions and blockades against the Soviet Union in any way. Now you have won the best external environment for the Soviet Union to grow and grow. Diplomatic People's Committee Member Chechelin."

Trotsky's mouth twitched coldly. Of course, he understood the meaning of Chechelin's words. In fact, he was reminding himself to stop when he saw it, and not to ruin the hard-won best external environment.

"Chechelin called back and asked him to tell Chamberlain that the Soviet Union had no intention of supporting any revolutionary and progressive forces in China to use violent means to resist the Chinese government."

After saying that, Trotsky turned his head to look at Skrynsky: "Give power to Comrade Ren Fucheng and Comrade Braun, let them destroy all important documents and surrender to the Chinese Defense Forces that surrounded them."

"What? Surrender!?" Skrynsky was stunned again and again. "How can we GCists surrender?"

Trotsky glanced at Skrynsky: "The lives of GCists are very precious, and you will never make unnecessary sacrifices. You tell them in the telegram that the Soviet Union will have 10 Italian prisoners of war for the lives of an internationalist warrior!"

Skrynsky looked at Trotsky with admiration. The internationalist warriors besieged by the Blackwater River could not escape anyway. Even if Trotsky ordered them to devote themselves to the cause of GCism, it would be useful. Instead of speaking, no one listened, it would be better to let them surrender and save their lives. At worst, they could use Italian prisoners of war to exchange them back.

"Comrade Trotsky, what should I do if the Chinese comrades besieged in the Blackwater River?" Skryngsky did not leave the office immediately to issue an order, but asked another question.

"Of course, it's just treated equally," Trotsky said coldly: "The Soviet Union and GC International will not abandon their warriors! No matter which country he is!"

"But in this way, the whole world knows that we are supporting the Chinese People's Revolutionary Party to hold an armed uprising!" Vates felt something was wrong and whispered to remind him.

"Where is anyone who doesn't know about such an obvious thing?" Trotsky asked faintly.

"This is different from our public acknowledgment..."

Trotsky waved his hand and interrupted, "Comrade Vates, I understand your concerns. You are worried that the Chinese will fight us with the Germans, right?" Without waiting for Vates to answer, Trotsky continued to say, "Whether they start a war does not depend on whether there is ironclad evidence for us to support the revolution, but on whether we have the strength to defeat them! Now that we openly admit that we support the Chinese People's Revolutionary Party, it is equivalent to telling Chang Ruiqing and Hitler that we are not afraid of war! If they want to fight, we will fight as long as we do!"

Vatesdes and Skrynsky both understood that Trotsky was bluffing and showed a relaxed expression on his face.

Trotsky paused and said, "Have you decided the candidate for our ambassador to the United States?"

"Not yet." Skryngsky replied that although he is not a people's member of diplomacy, diplomatic affairs involve export revolution, so GC International also needs to make a move.

"Then arrange Comrade Lev Trotsky to go to Washington!"

"Yes, Comrade Trotsky." Skryngsky thought to himself that Trotsky sent his son to the United States must have wanted China and Germany to think there was any collusion between the United States and the Soviet Union?
