Bu Wei understands the game. In the hands of Wang Political Propaganda Committee, the reason why the "Iron Youth League" has created public opinion in order to lower the conditions for running for parliamentarians is actually that the Political Propaganda Committee is manipulating it behind the scenes, and it actually reflects the propositions of the Political Propaganda Committee, which is only expressed through a group of young people who are not deeply involved in the world.

The Political Propaganda Commission is a special department set up by Zhao Bei, it is not a formal government agency, nor does it receive funds from the government, and on the surface, this organization seems to be only attached to and serves the army. But since the United Front came to power. The tentacles of this political propaganda commissar have penetrated into all corners of society, and the shadow of this political propaganda commissar can be faintly seen in front of the army, the government, schools, concessions, cities, villages, and all aspects of society.

Even a figure like Yang Du, who is in the center of central power, cannot see the whole picture of this political propaganda commissar. However, Yang Du felt that this political propaganda commissar had the characteristics of certain political groups, although at present, the political propaganda commissar could not be called a political party organization, but as long as Zhao Bei was willing, this organization could replace the united front at any time, and because of the strict hierarchy, this organization would be more effective than the loose united front.

Therefore, perhaps in the eyes of others, the current No. 2 person in the politics of the Republic of China should be Vice President Zhang Xiao and President of the Senate Li Yuanhong, but in Yang Du's view, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and there is only one real No. 2 political figure, that is, Zhang Jiyang.

Zhang Jiyang, a soldier from the Anqing Military Academy, is the highest brain of the Political Propaganda Commission, although Zhao Bei is also in charge of the Political Propaganda Commissar in name, but Zhang Jiyang is responsible for specific affairs, and on the other hand, Zhang Jiyang is still a soldier, so this person is very special now, and he can interfere in military affairs. can also meddle in social affairs, and the "shadow power" that Zhang Jiyang holds is not comparable to others, and only the president can suppress his power.

The influence of the Political Propaganda Commissar comes from Zhang Jiyang's power, but Zhang Jiyang's power comes from Zhao Bei's trust, therefore, Zhang Jiyang must work for Zhao Bei, and the Political Propaganda Committee must also serve Zhao Bei.

Therefore, this, the "Iron Youth League" also serves Zhao Bei, and the idea of the "Iron Youth League" is Zhao Bei's thoughts.

Knowing this, we can understand why the "Iron Youth League" is so high-profile, because they have the president standing behind them. With the president supporting their young people, they will not pay attention to any enemy, even the powerful bigwigs of the National League.

Yang Du knows the inside story, and naturally disagrees with the slogans of those young students, in his opinion, these young people are just small roles that Zhao Bei pushed to the front desk to perform, and the real protagonist has not yet appeared, once the real protagonist appears, it will be another good show, but I don't know, can Yang Du catch up with this good show? He hadn't made up his mind whether to leave the center or go to the place to make a move.

When he was standing on the edge of the woods, he was tapped on the shoulder, and Yang Du turned his head to see that the person who patted him on the shoulder was actually Tian Jinfu.

Tian Jinfu is the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the head of the secret service, and the loyal eagle dog under the president's seat, and his identity is indeed a little incompatible with the scholarly atmosphere of this Tsinghua Garden. Yang Du was very surprised that Director Tian appeared in this Tsinghua Garden.

"Director Tian? What do you have to do here? Yang Du asked in amazement.

Tian Jinfu smiled, pointed to the few followers who followed behind him and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm not here to sabotage, I'm here to see Mr. Yan Fancheng." ”

"You also came to see Yan Fancheng? He doesn't know you well, does he? ”

Yang Du is even more strange. Yan Xiu has always deliberately kept a distance from the military. Whether it is an officer with a Beiyang background or a Republican Army background, Yan Xiu is both near and far, so Yang Du is indeed a little puzzled by Tian Jinfu's deliberate move to visit Yan Xiu in this Tsinghua Garden.

"Not cooked, indeed uncooked. However, I came to see Mr. Yan, not because of a private matter, but because of an official business. By the way, Secretary General Yang, I heard what you said just now, and you also came to see Mr. Yan Fanlian? That's right, let's just go together. ”

Tian Jinfu was very happy, and rushed to Yan Xiu's residence with Yang Du, and the two talked a few words along the way. Only then did Yang Du understand that Tian Jinfu came to find Yan Xiu. It's to get a list, a test transcript.

Yang Du was very curious about this exam report card, because according to Tian Jinfu, the president attaches great importance to this list. Moreover, this special test was specially arranged by the president, and the content of the test was about mathematics.

The president's actions are always unpredictable, Yang Du can't guess what the president intends to do, Tian Jinfu didn't say anything, and Yang Du didn't ask, but he can be sure that this special math exam is definitely not for the Ministry of Finance to prepare for the department, the president of the civil service exam will never take care of it personally, and let the head of the secret service of the Military Intelligence Agency come forward to do things.

With doubts. Yang Du followed Tian Jinfu into the small courtyard where Yan Xiu lived. Yan Xiu was reviewing the test papers in the study, and when he saw the guests coming, he didn't talk nonsense, and took out a test report card directly from the drawer and handed it to Tian Jinfu.

Tian Jinfu didn't bother with it, sat down for a while, and then left, leaving only two scholars in the study.

What kind of exam was that? Why does the president take it so seriously? He also sent Director Tian to come and get the list in person. ”

Yang Du hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu frowned. Said: "It's a math subject exam, it's more difficult, I heard that the president asked the German minister to come forward, and got the exam questions from German universities, and after the exam a few days ago, the answers were sent." I'm in charge of grading the papers. To be honest, even I think this matter is a bit confusing. Since you want to select international students to study in Germany, why come to Tsinghua Park? My students here are preparing to study in the United States, and if the U.S. government knows that someone has dug up the wall, I am afraid that it will affect the school's economic allocation. ”

Yang Du smiled: "Then why do you bother to tell the Americans? Now that the American principal is playing in Beidaihe, he naturally won't know about this exam, and when the student himself says that he doesn't want to go to the United States, what can the Americans do? At present, China's talents are withering, and disciplines such as mathematics and gewu have always been unpopular. There are few people who learn and even fewer people who are proficient, but I don't know how many students have passed this exam? ”

Yan Xiu also smiled bitterly. Shaking his head, he said: "Don't mention it, the Germans are tricky and eccentric, and there are a total of 100 people who took the exam." In the end, only 10 people were listed. Among them, there are only two high scores, but they are the two most valued by the principal, and if they are really selected by the center to study in Germany at public expense, it is strange that the American principal is not soaring. ”

Now that Chinese young people are talking about "Sino-German friendship", the "German fever" is also understood, and they may not be entangled in this issue. Besides, there is a shortage of mathematical talents in China, and mathematics is the basic subject of modern science and technology. The United States has no excuse to oppose our country's training of mathematics specialists

。 Yang Du said.

"For the time being, I'm not done yet. The last time Director Tian came to deliver the answer, he said it. This group of mathematicians studying in Germany not only have to go to the top universities in Germany for further study, but will not return to China immediately after graduation in the future, but must work at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, as assistants to German professors, focusing on chemistry and physics. This has something to do with the military, but I just can't guess what it can be used for. ”

Yan Xiu's words made Yang Du even more confused, and the two sat in the study, pondering for a long time, but they couldn't figure out what the president planned to do with these mathematical talents. So I simply changed the subject.

"Fan said, I heard that you just joined the National League? Yang Du asked.

"Yes, Zhang Ji pulled me into the gang, and I came back and forth several times, but I couldn't resist him, and I didn't want to refute his face. So, in the end, I handed over the name and went to Liangshan. Yan Xiu said.

"On Liangshan? This is a brilliant analogy. Now, in Congress, isn't the National League the king of the mountain? They pull you in, I'm afraid that they don't want to share your wealth with you, but they want you to share their weal and sorrow. ”

"For the time being, of course I understand the difficult situation of the National League now, the more at such times. The more I have to support them, if there is really only one united front left in Congress, then this road of national constitutionalism will be considered to be at the end, and what will be the next road? I think that President Díaz of Mexico seems to be following this path. ”

Yan Xiu's words were a little vague, but Yang Du could understand that Yan Xiu was worried. Worried that this President Zhao Da is also embarking on a road of military dictatorship and dictatorship, there is no way, this president is indeed too strong, in front of him, the Congress is like a doll, no wonder Yan Xiu will make his position clear at such a time and support the National League.

But Yang Du disagreed with Yan Xiu, as a former constitutional monarchist, Yang Du insisted that the current country could only rely on strongman governance. It would be rash to expect a bunch of Shin to decide the future of the country in Congress.

"Constitutionalism for all? Fan Biao, you weren't like that before. Don't you also advocate a constitutional monarchy? You also support strongman politics, Yang Du is a little strange.

Yan Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Since Yuan Xiangcheng died, I have changed my position. Strongman politics may save the time, but it can't save the world, you see. After the death of Yuan Xiangcheng, that Beiyang was immediately torn apart, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhenhua's means, I think, it would be a warlord melee, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms are a lesson from the past

"Zhao Zhenhua turned the tide, doesn't this just show the benefits of strongman politics? If we let the people in the Congress clean up the Beiyang forces, I don't know when the chaos will end. Yang Du disagreed with Yan Xiu's opinion.

Yan Xiu shook his head and said, "Zhezi, you only see the present, but I see the future." Now Zhao Zhenhua has unlimited scenery and clever means. But it can't be said that he will always be smart, the current Wehrmacht is nominally a national army, but in fact it is his private army, he is now able to control all the forces in the army, but what if he can't control it in the future? Strongman politics. The biggest drawback is that once the strongman is in power. If he is also a strongman, he may be able to take over the army and the country, but if he is a clown, once the seizure of power fails, it will be a big chaos. ”

"Fan said, you're a bit unfounded. Zhao Zhenhua said. The three-step process of military administration, scraping government, and constitutionalism is also his ideal, but in his view, it is only impossible to implement the constitutionalism of the whole people at present. ”

"People change, especially when they have power. Take Yuan Xiangcheng as an example, I have followed him much longer than you, but I have seen with my own eyes how he regarded himself as an omniscient and omnipotent person step by step, which made him close his eyes and listen, and also made him surrounded by a group of villains. ”

"But Zhao Zhenhua is not such a person."

"Not now, but inevitably not in the future, people will change, especially those in high positions. They see things differently than we do. Let's take the situation at hand. The form of government of the state is nominally constitutional, but in reality? But it is a presidential government, the so-called "constitutional government." It's just a fig leaf. ”

"Is it a scrape now? But Congress still vetoes the president's decision. In my opinion, the present form of government is neither a government nor a constitutional government, and now it is a form of government with four dissimilarities, and although it is a form of government with four dissimilarities, but it is beneficial to the country and the people, then it is a good form of government. ”

"If the name is not right, it is not good, this kind of government with four dissimilarities will not last long after all, and in the end, it is the state and the state that will suffer

Yang Du and Yan Xiu's positions were seriously opposed, and the two talked farther and farther away, and after talking, the two scholars almost turned against each other because of this battle of will.

Fortunately, Yan Xiu was restrained, stopped the argument in time, and invited Yang Du to have lunch together, but Yang Du refused, left Tsinghua Garden angrily, called a rickshaw, pulled him to the tavern, and sat alone in the tavern to drink alcohol. So with the strength of alcohol, he called a rickshaw and dragged him directly to the presidential palace, where he wanted to ask Mr. President face to face what the three-step political strategy of "military administration, scraping government, and constitutional government" should be. How to solve the current situation in which government does not look like politics and constitutionalism does not like constitutionalism?
