Yan Zhengqing had long considered the issue of reorganizing the government. It takes the right time, and it also needs the right person.

Moreover, this person must be dedicated to contributing to the country and not have too many ties and ambitions. At the same time, the prestige in the country is still sufficient, and you must have sufficient qualifications and political experience・・・・・・

The most important thing is that this person can accept reform and accept decentralization.

Such a person, let alone in the Red and Wehrmacht. Even if you look at the whole country, it is difficult to find one. And Lin Sen is undoubtedly such a candidate.

In terms of seniority, he participated in the anti-Japanese movement in 1895. And he has always been the help of the founding father of the nation

In terms of prestige, not to mention that Jiang Zhongzheng is a defector, Wang Zhaoming has to bring this old gentleman out and call him "chairman". And he is the "acting chairman".

However, the high prestige also brought extremely troublesome consequences to Lao Lin, and almost every time he opposed Chiang, whether he agreed or disagreed, others would hang his name. This led to him being wanted by Chiang Zhongzheng several times.

The most important thing is that this old gentleman is indeed dedicated to the country and has never had the heart to fight for power and profit.

The old man has not remarried since his wife died. Alone adheres to the "three noes" doctrine, that is, not forming a party for personal gain, not fighting for power and profit, and not acting as a prestige.

In the match between Lin Sen and Jiang Zhongzheng, although there is a conflict, as long as Lin Sen's principles are not touched, he will basically cooperate with Jiang Zhongzheng. This is especially important.

"We need to heal the relationship with those old people in Xinhai, and we also need an old man in Xinhai to implement our reforms. This man's prestige must be so important that no one dares to question him for his own personal gain. Yan Zhengqing said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun: "Secondly, this person needs to be fearless. Fearlessly carry out reforms, not afraid of death, not afraid of slander. Such a person is none other than Lin Sen. ”

Tu Qianjun nodded in agreement. He knew what Yan Zhengqing meant, and in the future, the route of the national defense army's march would undoubtedly be the entire Guannai. This includes the Central Plains, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

In these places, there are many old people in Xinhai. In the same way, there are many capitalists, compradors and big landowners. Both Yan Zhengqing and Tu Qianjun knew that domestic reform was imminent.

The three eastern provinces, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places are better, after all, there are no too powerful landlords and capital forces there. The biggest ones are just those warlords.

However, the Central Plains and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are different, and the Central Plains region has a huge landlord power. If the IDF were to carry out their land reform in these areas, it would undoubtedly affect the interests of countless people.

At that time, it will inevitably be a bloody storm. If it's normal time, it's fine, but now it's the Anti-Japanese War period. In addition to the landlord class, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions also have huge capital power.

These huge local forces even affected the national capital for a time. Even the Song family had to rely on these forces many times. Once this force chooses to be hostile to the Wehrmacht, it will be troublesome to simply cause trouble.

The Defence Forces needed someone who could subdue them and force them to accept reform. Yan Zhengqing often does not want to carry out too drastic reforms, admittedly! Drastic reforms can progress quickly, but at the same time the risks are high. At the same time, it is also very harmful to the country.

At this point, Tu Qianjun thought so. Later reforms were good, but the radical beginnings also led to a lot of problems. Although I was very cautious at the time, I still took a lot of detours in the middle.

This has caused a period of chaos, and even the loss of state-owned assets, the loss of values, the surging of various ideologies within the country・・・・・・ and so on. Therefore, Tu Qianjun felt that Yan Zhengqing's approach was more prudent and steady.

"Junzi・・・・・・ our time is almost over, and the future belongs to you." Yan Zhengqing drank all the residual tea in the cup and whispered to Tu Qianjun.

"All we can do is try to clear the way for you. As for the future...... I'm afraid we won't see it. ”

"I'm clearing the way for the government, and this may be the last thing I can do for the government・・・・・・" At the same moment, Lin Sen said in a deep voice to He Yingqin in front of him.

This is Lin Sen's study, and on that desk is a human skull. The black hole in the eye socket made people shudder. Many people don't know why there is a skeleton on Lin Sen's desk.

But He Yingqin knew why, and even he knew that the skeleton was actually a woman. The skeleton was the remains of Lin Sen's cousin.

Lin Sen and his cousin were childhood sweethearts, and they were in love, but when they became adults, both of them were arranged by their parents, and the cousin committed suicide the day before the marriage.

"Chairman Lin, you don't know the consequences of doing this, do you?!" He Yingqin gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "By doing this, you are actually splitting the national government!" If you do this, it is likely that the entire government will fall apart!! ”

"Would you like to see such a situation?! Would you like to see the decay of the national government?! You ......"

"Shut up!!" Lin Sentie's face turned blue, "Bang!" He slapped on the table and glared angrily at He Yingqin. "Why did we become like this?!" Don't you know why the government has become like this?! From you, to Jiang Zhongzheng, to the Song family, the Chen brothers and Wang Zhaoming! You say, what responsibility should you bear?! And what responsibility should I bear?! ”

He Yingqin was choked by Lin Sen's angry question, and Lin Sen continued without waiting for him to answer: "The national government was supposed to be the central power. Foreign enemies invade, we have our own responsibility to kill the enemy and protect the country! ”

"But what did we do when the Japanese came in?! Compromise, compromise or compromise! The three eastern provinces are just local warlords outside the gates, but they can withstand the attacks of the two powerful countries of red and white alone! They are in better condition than us?! But they have developed their own complete industrial chain! ”

"Henan disaster, they came to the rescue! Floods in the three eastern provinces, they save themselves! The Soviets came and they fought back on their own! also took back Outer Mongolia. The Japanese started a war, but they still resisted on their own! What have we done as a government? ”

"The Wehrmacht is doing disaster relief, and it is the central government's business. But when there is a real famine, what do we say?! ”

He Yingqin was speechless. He knew how the government responded, and this sentence was even published in the newspaper.

"The central government has to take money to help you in floods and droughts, and I want to ask how the central government can subsidize you Sichuan people with limited financial resources." Jiang Zhongzheng's remark was directly published in the "National Gazette" run by the Americans.

It caused an uproar, but what was revealed was the true view of the government. The entire government, from Jiang Zhongzheng to the rest of the officials, almost all saw it this way.

To put it bluntly, it is the sentence that Bai Xiude once recorded in his book: if they (the common people) die, the land will still be Chinese, but if the soldiers starve to death, the Japanese will occupy these lands.

The government is the central power only when it takes advantage and needs its name. If they were to be held responsible, they would immediately pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Whether the government has the financial resources or not, everyone knows. Jiang Zhongzheng continued to throw money on it, bribing and dividing warlords at all levels. fell under his money offensive, in addition to Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, there were even old men like Chen Jiongming.

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom・・・・・・bang......" A burst of explosions and gunshots pierced the tranquility of Chongqing City, and He Yingqin turned around and looked at the fire caused by the explosion in the distance, trembling all over.

After a while, shouts of killing came from all over Chongqing! He Yingqin could hear the chaos in the city, and he could even see the sky-high fire outside the city!

Finished! It's completely over! He Yingqin's face was pale and he lamented in his heart. This impact will definitely directly crush the already crumbling Chongqing government.

The shouts of killing are getting louder and louder, and He Yingqin's letter is getting colder and colder. Finally, he sat down in his chair, his mind blank. And Lin Sen is better off?!

How could he not know the consequences of doing this?! But does he have a choice・・・・・・

Like He Yingqin, who was at a loss for what to do, there were also Dai Li and others who gathered in the Song family. As soon as the gunfire rang out, Dai Li and the others rushed out.

Hu Zongnan and Qiu Qingquan rushed back to the barracks with their guards as fast as they could, while Dai Li and the others rushed back to their offices to try to figure out what was going on.

But it was the officers and officers who had already fled earlier than them. They are inextricably linked, and they are even more sensitive than the Whampoa family.

As soon as the guns rang out, they had already informed each other and quickly assembled their troops to prepare to unite to protect themselves. And those politicians are moving to the barracks with their families and property as quickly as possible.

By the time Hu Zongnan and the others came back to their senses and found out what was going on, the politicians and soldiers standing inside them had already been completely united.

The 230,000-strong Central Army, led by a number of officers, assembled outside Chongqing along with the politicians. They built fortifications under the pretext of self-preservation.

At this time, the Whampoa department had nearly 400,000 troops under its control. With the efforts of Hu Zongnan, Qiu Qingquan, Xue Yue and others, they finally assembled, but they felt at a loss in the face of the fortifications that were being built.

And there are more than 100,000 troops, and they have chosen to wait and see in the middle. They didn't know what was happening, only that there were troops under attack.

The Whampoa faction claimed that the pro-Japanese faction had attacked them, while the troops who built the fortifications claimed that the Whampoa faction wanted to kill and annex their own troops.

The neutral officers didn't know who to trust, but they knew that if they didn't unite, they would only be swallowed up by one of the two sides.

Therefore, they also built fortifications outside Chongqing in an attempt to protect themselves.

It was just one move by Lin Sen, and the entire Central Army in Chongqing was suddenly split into three factions!
