However, among the many reporters, Wang Maoru saw a familiar figure, but it was Miss Fei Wanting, the female gentleman of the Beijing Normal Women's School, who was also Ma Liang's cousin in Beijing that year. At that time, Miss Fei said that she hoped to become a reporter in the future, and at this time, she seemed to have become a big reporter as she wished. ”

Wang Maoru paused and said, "I will only answer three questions. He pointed at Fei Wanting and said, "This female reporter, I know you, you seem to be ...... Forget it, you ask the first question. Many reporters looked at the Chinese girl with short hair, where did this lucky star come from? actually has such a big face, it sounds like the two know each other?

Fei Wanting had actually seen that Wang Maoru still remembered her, but she wasn't sure that he would stop to answer her question, and he was suddenly named by him, and suddenly forgot about the question, and said busily: "Is it me?" Ask me? ”

Wang Maoru said: "Yes, okay, the first question is over. ”

"Huh?" The reporters around almost jumped up, which is also counted? Is that okay? They all cast envious, jealous and hateful glances at this petite Chinese female reporter. Fei Wanting was suddenly angry enough, she knew that Wang Maoru must have done it on purpose, and shouted: "No, no, how can this be counted, I haven't asked a question yet." ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Okay, you ask." ”

Fei Wanting said: "Just now we learned that you, as a soldier, first mentioned that you should not interfere in politics, may I ask under what kind of consideration did you make such a decision?" Do you think that after the establishment of the Republic of China, the military interfered in politics and led the country to collapse? After you made this decision, you broke the dream of many warlords to be the emperor of the soil. How did you reassure them? ”

Wang Maoru said: "Good guy, three sharp questions in a row, you dare to ask the reporter." Fei Wanting smiled proudly. The young stenographers who followed him looked at Fei Wanting with great admiration, it was really amazing, except for the first one that was easy to answer, the other two questions were really sharp.

"Let me answer your first question first." Wang Maoru said to everyone, to the more than 100,000 young people, students and citizens in the square: "The role of soldiers is to protect the family and defend the country, unify the country, and stop chaos. Now that the country is unified, and the presidential election on October 10, China is about to enter a new chapter of the Republic of China. At this time, if the military interferes with the regime. It is the desire for personal interests, in a vain attempt to let the power of the individual and the ** above the nation. Based on this consideration, military personnel do not participate in politics, the same. Political figures should also not participate in the army. Just like partisans quit the army. Here, I would like to commend the KMT members, who have set a great example, and many KMT military personnel have either declared their resignation from the military or have joined the army to serve the country and have left the party. I have seen that all the citizens of the Republic of China are working hard for the rejuvenation of the nation, and as representatives of the military, how can our national defense forces stage the Chenqiao Mutiny again and interfere in politics with the military? He repeated again: "The military does not interfere in politics, and China does not want a military government." The old times have passed, and the new ones are coming. Don't let the new era carry the bad habits of the old era, start with me, the General Defense Force! ”

As a politician, you must know how to study thick black, that is, with a black heart and a thick skin, Wang Maoru clearly controls the power of the Congress, but here he talks about the military not interfering in politics, and he also has a righteous look. This really makes some Beiyang politicians admire, this is the material for doing big things, look at Wang Maoru, who lies with a righteous face.

After Wang Maoru's words were finished, everyone applauded, and the reporters and young people in front of the Capitol kept shouting, especially those young people who admired Wang Maoru, who didn't hear anything at all.

A young officer stood in the distance in the crowd, and said indignantly in his heart: "Hypocrisy, hypocrisy, only hypocritical people can get into this position, when will I be able to get into this position?" ”

"Deputy Director Zhang, Xiu Shuai is playing beautifully." The National Defense Force officer on the side said to him, Director Zhang sneered and agreed, but said disdainfully in his heart: "It's just a hero in troubled times, if I was born a few years earlier, it would still be his turn Wang Maoru." Troubled times, troubled times, I need a troubled times to achieve my career and a qiē. ”

Wang Maoru smiled at everyone, pressed his hands again, and said loudly: "Fellow reporters, please be calm, let me answer the second question of this female reporter." She asked whether it was the military meddling in politics that caused the country to be in turmoil, but in fact, nothing is black and white. For example, was Qin Shi Huang a bad guy? He unified the six countries, unified the coins, unified the written language, and laid the foundation for the idea of the great unification of China, so do not take the denial of other people's one. It was a special historical period in which military personnel interfered in politics and created special historical behaviors. The Republic of China established a country with endless civil wars, today the south fights the north, tomorrow the north fights the south, everyone is not for mutual hatred, but for the difference in national ideas. Now that the North and the South have reached a common ideology and are ready to run for president in a bright and open manner, we can sit down together and study the future development of the country, and that is progress. Compatriots, the times are progressing, and so is China. If we still keep our thoughts and habits stuck ten years ago, then the revival of China's peace talks? If we only have hatred in our hearts and no future for our country, then we are sinners of the nation. Then Wang Maoru said to the reporters: "The third question is best answered, in my opinion, from the perspective of all the warlords I have come into contact with, the ** people are the ** people, and no one wants to be a soil emperor." The country is unified, he wants to continue to be a soldier, the country has left a place for him, he wants to build for the country, he has a place in the government, he wants three wives and four concubines to enjoy the joy of family, his family has land, and the world is peaceful and can open a factory to make money, everyone is very happy, no one objected, and no one complained to me. So, Fei Da reporter, your question is not valid at all. He said to everyone: "History will remember that today, on July 21, the 10th year of the Republic of China, the Chinese side expressed its stance that the military does not interfere in politics, which has become a permanent example." ”

More than 100,000 people shouted long live at Wang Maoru like a pilgrimage, and Wang Maoru at this time really shocked the hearts of the people of the world, and the admirers who followed Wang Maoru's convoy followed the car on foot, until they reached the Ministry of National Defense, and refused to retreat under the persuasion of the police and guards, and stood at the door of the Ministry of National Defense and shouted the slogan of long live long live, and everyone slowly dispersed until the curfew was imposed in the middle of the night.

On the second day, no, at noon to be exact, the national newspapers and radio published the news, and the title of Prime Minister Wang Maoru in half an hour replaced the title of Generalissimo Shangwu.

He was the first soldier to recover the lost land and the Eastern Railway.

He was the first soldier to lead the squadron to fight in Europe.

He was the first soldier to lead the squadron to victory over the European Army.

He was the first person to fight back against the former invaders to recover the country.

He was the first soldier to regularize and unify all the armies of the Republic of China.

He was the first soldier to take the initiative to cut power and propose the separation of military and political affairs.

He was the first soldier to be admired for half an hour than those who had been prime ministers for several years.

He is the Generalissimo Shangwu, the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of China, and the Commander of the National Defense Forces, Wang Maoru.

In the tenth year of the Republic of China, in 1921, Wang Maoru was thirty-five years old this year, and he was recognized and admired by the whole country for the first time. Some people don't know who the president is, and some people don't know who the governor is, but they must know who is the backbone of China, who is the generalissimo of China, and Wang Maoru over there.

Wang Maoru also appeared on the cover of the New York Times magazine for the second time, the last time because he led the squadron to fight in Europe, but it was only the cover, and the content was only two small pages, and now, the American "Time" magazine took Wang Maoru as the cover for three consecutive days, and sent reporters to China to do an exclusive interview with Wang Maoru, because the Americans are interested in him, and all Americans are interested in this "Washington" in the East.

The name of "Washington" in China originally belonged to Yuan Shikai, but unfortunately, after Yuan Shikai overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he wanted to be the emperor himself, and as a result, he became infamous through the ages. However, after the young Wang Maoru became the Minister of National Defense, he had a 1 million army in his hands, but he took the initiative to resign from the post of prime minister and only concentrate on being a military soldier.

All of a sudden, all kinds of praises, praises, support for the province, and worship were endless. The Youth Promotion Research Association, a youth radical organization whose purpose is to worship and support Wang Maoru, seized the opportunity to recruit party members, and because of this trend, the membership of the Youth Promotion Association suddenly increased by more than five times.

The fiery summer was full of fiery passion, the Republic of China radiated a new opportunity, the change of the country began from the bottom, the people found that there was no longer a war between the national warlords, the soldiers returned to the barracks, and there were no more rogue soldiers and bandits on the streets. Of course, the closest thing to the interests of the people is that there are fewer taxes, after all, if there is no war, there is no longer a need to pay so many taxes, and in order to win the support of the people, all unreasonable taxes such as bridge tax, city entry tax, dung tax, marriage tax, and burial tax have been abolished.

There are more patrolmen in black uniforms carrying sticks on the streets, these people used to be soldiers, because of the unification of the national army, the redundant and streamlined soldiers are placed as police patrols. There are four types of police, the first type is the armed police, responsible for suppressing bandits and arresting murderers in vicious cases, the second type is the criminal police, which is specially used to investigate criminal cases, the third type is the patrol police, patrolling the streets, and helping the people deal with people's livelihood and civil affairs every day, and the fourth type is the police who sit in the office, responsible for dispatching work and logistics support work.

Nowadays, there are more patrols in the Republic of China, and the security on the streets is much better, and although the people don't like the patrols, they don't like gangs even more. At least you can go to the door of the government to protest if you are unfair to the police, but you don't even have a place to complain when you are bullied by gang members.

Whether it is the police or ordinary citizens, they all know who brought this stability and harmony now, it was brought by Wang Maoru, the generalissimo of the unified country, and it was he who reorganized the whole team, and the army will not be chaotic, and the country will never be chaotic. It's just that now Wang Maoru is busy deploying troops, and some of the armed forces are beginning to move, ready to occupy the mountain as king, and some ignorant people still dream of becoming emperors.
