Chapter 806 Behind the Scenes
Paint according to the General Staff of a certain staff officer of the Italian country should now, "hidden" is "showy." In other words, to put it a little more clearly. China's military parade should be as simple as possible, the more shabby the better, preferably not to arouse the alarm of the great powers, and on the other hand, to show military power in a pretty way. As soon as the time comes, give the Great Powers a surprise attack on the battlefield.
According to the opinions of these staff officers, the victory parade should not allow the armored forces to make a public appearance, so as not to inspire the great powers from this new type of troops, so that the great powers will also speed up the building of the armored troops.
However, Zhao Bei resolutely criticized this erroneous understanding, telling the staff officers that the more times like this, the more China should show the advanced nature of its military strength, in other words, it should not "hide its clumsiness." Rather, it should be "shown." "It is necessary for the great powers to see the tremendous progress of the Chinese power, and only in this way can it have a deterrent effect, so as to create a relatively peaceful external environment for China's economic construction and postpone the arrival of war.
What's more, in this operation against Japan, the existence of Chinese armored forces is no longer a secret, especially for the Japanese Army, the opponent of the confrontation. China's armored forces tactics are no longer just words on paper in the confidential archives of the General Staff, but real war practice, even if the armored forces are hidden in this victory parade, it will not play a role in confusing the great powers, as long as Britain and France are willing, they can always ask Japan for relevant experience, and in order to fight against Fengguo. Japan probably won't deliberately mislead its European allies.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Bei finally decided. At the victory parade, the armored troops were mobilized to show off their demeanor in front of the great powers, so that all countries would know about it. Now the Chinese army is already a force that cannot be taken lightly, and it has the ability and strength to ensure the security of the country, and this security is built on the basis of modern industry, and all the armored combat vehicles participating in the parade are manufactured by China itself, although it may not have achieved the localization of all parts and components, but at least it can make war machines on its own.
Taking into account the current level of motivation technology and manufacturing technology, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the parade, all the armored combat units participating in the parade are carefully selected, not only to fight, but also to repair vehicles and motives, once the armored combat vehicle fails, throw cobalt. It can also be repaired as soon as possible and the smooth running of the parade is guaranteed.
Now, the parade is about to officially begin, and those reference troops have advanced to West Chang'an Avenue. And again straighten the queue, as soon as the military music sounds. In accordance with the arrangement of the parade headquarters, they will pass through the front of the parade stand in a parade formation and be inspected by the president and representatives from all walks of life.
Before the sound of military music sounded, Rao Hanxiang confessed to Wu Zhenhan, who was sitting beside him, then stood up, walked to the upper steps, stood beside Li Yuanhong, leaned down, and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Li Gong, why hasn't Mr. Taiyan shown up yet?"
Seeing Rao Hanxiang ask about Zhang Binglin, Li Yuanhong turned his head to look at Rao Hanxiang, then shook his head and said, "Zhang Taiyan refuses to come, and I can't help it."
But monk, you don't have to worry, with me to support you, the president to be your backer, just a united front, you still can't clean it up? Rest assured, as long as you don't be too reckless, you can sit on the throne of party affairs officer for at least a year and a half
It is no wonder that Rao Hanxiang is worried, since the day before yesterday, after Zhang Binglin was forced to appoint Rao Hanxiang as vice chairman of the General Affairs Committee and party affairs officer under pressure from the United Front General Affairs Committee, the relationship between Zhang Binglin and Rao Hanxiang has become delicate.
In the past, Xiong Chengji sat in this position by Xiong Chengji, and he and Zhang Binglin were both cadres of the Liberation Society. Although disputes are inevitable, Xiong Chengji often takes the initiative to back down, so. For Zhang Binglin, the chairman of the CPC National Committee, who has no foundation in his own right, the position of party secretary is very important and can only be handed over to "his own people." Sit. Rao Hanxiang is not from the Restoration Society, and he is not even a revolutionary party, in Zhang Binglin's opinion. According to Zhang Binglin's intentions, after Xiong Chengji's resignation, this position should be handed over to Huang Xing, who was born in the League, to sit, but the development of the matter was completely beyond Zhang Binglin's expectations, due to Zhao Bei's covert manipulation, the United Front General Affairs Committee finally elected Rao Hanxiang to replace the position of party affairs officer.
On the issue of the selection of party affairs officers, Zhang Binglin can be said to be a complete failure, the reason why this is the case is entirely because of his character, Zhang Binglin has a bad temper, and he is not afraid of power, as long as he thinks people who are not pleasing to the eye, he will scold mercilessly. Yuan Shikai, Zhao Bei, Huang Xing, Xiong Chengji, Li Yuanhong, Tang Hualong and other political celebrities have been scolded by him, and they are nicknamed "Miheng of the Republic of China." "Such a person, in terms of character. It's easy to isolate yourself.
The reason why Zhao Bei nominated Zhang Binglin to take over the post of chairman of the United Front was actually because he took a fancy to Zhang Binglin's self-isolating character. On the one hand, Zhao Bei needs to use Zhang Binglin's literary name to pull a banner. In order to maintain the basic unity of the united front, which was becoming increasingly weak at that time, on the other hand, Zhao Bei also needed to help Xiong Chengji rectify party affairs with the help of Zhang Binglin's recklessness of not bending his waist for five buckets of rice, and hide behind this person to manipulate everything, and use this person to attract firepower.
If Zhang Binglin saw who scolded before he got involved in politics, he could bring him a literary name. So. After participating in politics, if he does not change this character of making enemies everywhere, then he will be overthrown by political enemies sooner or later. It was also another important reason why Zhao Bei nominated him to take over the post of chairman of the United Front in the first place.
It can be said that manipulating the general affairs committee to elect Rao Hanxiang as the vice chairman and party affairs officer is the first step for Zhao Bei to unload the mill and kill the donkey, once the time is ripe, Zhang Binglin will withdraw gloomily, and Zhang Binglin seems to have guessed this, therefore. Since Rao Hanxiang became a party affairs officer, Zhang Binglin has not been ill, and he does not even plan to participate in today's military parade.
Zhang Binglin, Yi Xunshu, the fine concave said Xunshan) is not the same body clam, the heart appears. This not only caused the speculation of reporters, but also caused Rao Hanxiang's daughter.
Unlike Xiong Chengji, Rao Hanxiang did not have enough foundation in the United Front, he was shoehorned into the leadership of the United Front by Zhao Bei, if it were not for Li Yuanhong taking care of him, he would have been excluded from the General Affairs Committee long ago, although he was elected as the vice chairman and party affairs officer by the General Affairs Committee, this does not mean that the committee members are optimistic about him. As a matter of fact, more than half of the reason why the committee members acted in accordance with the president's will was because they were dissatisfied with Zhang Binglin's "domineering," which Zhao Bei had also been arrogant in the past when he was chairman of the committee, but that kind of domineering was built on the basis of strength. And Zhao Bei will not see anyone scolding whom, on the contrary, as long as you are obedient, Chairman Zhao will give you enough benefits and respect, and Zhang Binglin, a literati, is different, he not only scolds, but also scolds tricky and eccentric, and is not merciless at all, but this Chairman Zhang has nothing in his hand except a bald pen, no money, no official position, and no army, so the scolded people are often not reconciled, although they will not immediately ridicule each other, but as long as the time is right, they will join forces to fight back.
Therefore, this time, the president hinted that the general affairs committee members immediately understood, and regardless of Rao Hanxiang's foundation and prestige, they selected him, and first used Rao Hanxiang to disgust Zhang Binglin. As for the rest, I'll talk about that later.
Rao Hanxiang is also a little self-aware, he knows. With his ability and prestige, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit in this position of party secretary for a short time, and he is only a transitional figure, and in the future, this position will still be handed over to a more suitable person to sit in, but since the president trusts him and promotes him to this position, then he cannot be perfunctory, and this is the job of establishing a good relationship with the party leader. Otherwise, if you quarrel in the future, where will you have time to deal with official business?
But as soon as Li Yuanhong said this, Rao Hanxiang's hanging heart was calmed again, yes, as long as the president is the backer and Li Yuanhong fully supports it, even if Zhang Binglin gives Rao Hanxiang a pair of small shoes to wear, he Rao Hanxiang doesn't have to really wear them on his feet, and Zhang Binglin is so passive and slacking off, showing the president's face and his colleagues' faces, this is dismantling the stage for himself.
Thinking of this, Rao Hanxiang immediately calmed down and hurriedly walked back to his seat, ready to watch the parade.
However, a few minutes after the net was seated, an adjutant walked up to Rao Hanxiang and whispered a few words to him.
"Mr. Rao, the president invited you over."
"Oh? Lead the way. ”
Rao Han was stunned, hurriedly stood up, and followed the adjutant of the chamberlain to the president's side.
This parade stand is made of scaffolding and wooden planks by sappers, in the shape of a ladder, and the president's viewing platform is at the top with the best view. And there is also an awning, which is quite comfortable to sit in.
Rao Hanxiang walked into the awning, the adjutant hurried a few steps forward, and said a few words in the president's ear, taking advantage of this time, Rao Hanxiang carefully looked into the awning, where the British Minister to China Zhu Erdian and the American Minister to China Stade were still seated. The two were talking to the president in a low voice. Behind the two ministers, the German and Austro-Hungarian ministers in China also stood a scene that was ironic given the current situation in Europe.
"Come, come! An monk, you come and sit, come and sit. I called you here to say a few words to the ministers. Just now we were talking about the participation of political organizations in various countries, and several ministers wanted to study the party affairs of the United Front, which should have been talked about by Mr. Taiyan, but he is now on leave and has not come, so I have to ask you to come and say a few words. ”
To see Rao Hanxiang probing his brain there, Zhao Bei beckoned to him.
Rao Hanxiang hurriedly walked over and greeted a few people. Then he struck up a conversation with several foreign ministers. Although he did not have a deep foundation in the United Front, he still had a set of knowledge and was familiar with the party affairs of the United Front, so the questions that several ministers wanted to ask did not bother him.
Just as everyone was studying whether the United Front was holding a left-wing view or a right-wing tendency, military music rang out, and the parade began on time.
Zhao Bei concluded the conversation with the ministers of various countries. Start focusing on those parade units in front of you. Looking at the sonorous armored combat vehicles and the tank commanders who saluted the review stand, everyone present was impressed by the fearless momentum. At the same time as the ground troops were passing through the field, the roar of the planes' engines was also heard in the sky, and the air force reference unit also arrived on time, and all the planes were divided into two formations, with the fighter column in front. Behind was a column of bombers, more than 200 large and small planes, which swept over people's heads at an altitude of 500 meters above the ground, and the momentum created was no worse than that of the armored troops on the ground.
"Mr. President, you should be proud of it. Be proud of it, it is this army that has won the glory of your country. Yesterday, the Government of the United States formally authorized me to convey an important message to Mr. President. In the near future, the U.S. Government will formally consult with your Department of Foreign Affairs to discuss the elevation of diplomatic relations between China and the United States from the ministerial level to the ambassadorial level, and I will serve as the first U.S. ambassador to China. ”
Looking at the parade troops in front of him, the American Minister to China Stade muttered a few words in a low voice beside Zhao Bei, although the voice was very resistant, but the British Minister Zhu Erdian, who was standing beside him, also heard it. Obviously, on this issue, the United States has once again gone ahead of the British, which makes Juerdian very bored.
"In the future, I hope that the relationship between the two countries will be even closer, especially in business and trade. I am confident that once the two countries strengthen their ties, the Pacific region will be a region of peace and prosperity in the future. The commercial and industrial ties between the two countries will also be even closer. ”
No matter what the US minister says, the military parade in front of him is indeed exciting, and today's review stand, whether in front of the stage or behind the scenes, are carrying out transactions, and these transactions are not only related to China's future, but also related to the world pattern.
