Chang Ruiqing returned to Nanjing a few days before the general election, and his diplomatic activities in London were not too remarkable, except for several welcome receptions, meeting with dignitaries from British political and business circles, and holding cordial talks with US Secretary of State Hughes, who was visiting Britain for several hours, but did not reach any unanimous opinion. At present, China is on the side of the British Empire, and its relationship with the United States is neither bad nor bad. At the end of his visit to the UK, Pan Yucheng's business activities in Berlin were also very successful, signing cooperation agreements with Siemens in Germany and Westinghouse in the United States. China Power Group will form China Electric Corporation with the former to undertake all thermal power projects in China. The latter will form China Hydropower Engineering Co., Ltd. with CLP Group to be responsible for all hydropower construction.

However, at this time, public opinion in China has not paid much attention to the fruitful results of Chang Ruiqing's visit to Europe, because the upcoming general election has attracted more attention from people concerned with national affairs. After seven years of stable development and increasing investment in education, the education level of the Chinese people has been significantly improved, and the number of registered voters who meet the voting conditions in the 14-year general election of the Republic of China has exceeded 46 million, although it is less than 10% of the 50,000 people in China at present, but it also symbolizes the achievements that China has made in education and economic development over the years. Although the vast majority of Chinese are still in extreme poverty, the country is still full of hope for progress.

So this was the case in Chinese society before the election, whether it was the middle and upper classes that had become wealthy. The poor people who are still struggling to make ends meet, are full of hope for the future, and they are all very satisfied with the Chang Ruiqing authorities in power. Even the Kuomintang (KMT), which is preparing to become an opposition party, does not seem to be able to find fault with its opponents in this election. Of course. It's not that Chang Ruiqing is a perfect person without flaws, for example, his corruption on the issue of men and women will definitely become a target for political opponents if it is placed in later generations. But at the moment, how many of the politicians nominated by the KMT to run for election are relatively clean in this regard? However, most of the candidates cited by GCD do not have young wives......

After evading this sensitive issue, there is not much dirty water to splash in the 14-year election campaign of the Republic of China, after all, the previous national government was a coalition government. The Kuomintang could not easily devalue it to worthlessness, and the trial of the "People's Revolutionary Party Rebellion and Traitor Case" was sufficiently severed from the Soviet Union and the People's Revolutionary Party, although it lost some supporters. But it also made it impossible for the political opponent Kuomintang to manipulate the subject too much.

As for the Chinese and G, the theme of the election campaign was also circled to publicize the achievements of the past few years in power and look forward to the future, and did not entangle the Kuomintang in the past and criticize the little things that happened with Japan in the past, after all, the old Japanese empire has disappeared.

After returning to China, Chang Ruiqing immediately published a long article written by him in the GCD newspaper "New Youth", reviewing the revolutionary process of himself and GCD along the way, and stating that "leftism" has always been the guiding ideology of the party. China and G have always been the political party and vanguard of the Chinese nation. Fight for the rise of the nation and the strength of the country. China's achievements in recent years have shown that "leftism" is the correct line in line with China's actual conditions. However, the difficult changes in national affairs are not achieved overnight, and with China's poverty and weakness over the past century, there is really no possibility of achieving a strong country and a prosperous people in a short period of time. Moreover, because the Red Russia's heart to destroy China is not dead, the country's territorial integrity and independence and freedom are facing an unprecedented threat, so in the next five years. If you and China can still lead the country, you must put the country's strength and military strength in the first place! If Red Russian imperialism dares to invade the border. He and China will lead the people to fight to the end until the final victory. In the end, he called on all voters to support themselves and support China GCD with their sacred votes at this moment when the future and fate of the country will be decided!

At the same time that Chang Ruiqing was going all out to help the election of the Chinese government, Jiang Jshi, chairman of the Kuomintang, also published a long article entitled "The Promise of the Kuomintang" in the Kuomintang party newspaper "Minbao" and the most influential "Declaration" in Shanghai at the same time. It also recalls the goals of the struggle of the Kuomintang since Sun Yat-sen led the anti-Qing revolution.

Lao Jiang declared in his article: "...... Looking back at the thousands of years of civilization history in our country, it is not difficult to find that this phenomenon is the rise and fall of dynasties one after another! And most dynasties always have a cycle from chaos to governance, from governance to prosperity, prosperity and decline, and finally from decline to chaos. I am afraid that the time occupied by governance and prosperity is less than two-thirds of China's thousands of years of history, while the decline and chaos account for seven-eight tenths. The vast majority of our 50,000,000 compatriots have probably experienced an era of decline and chaos, when the country was divided, invaded by foreign invaders, and the people were struggling to make a living.

Since the former Prime Minister Mr. Nakayama led the League to complete the revolution, we of the Kuomintang will be determined to save China from the troubled times, but fortunately, with the joint efforts of the Central G, Marshal Chang Yaoru, and all the people, we finally completed this ideal in the 8th year of the Republic of China. But after accomplishing this ideal, what are we Kuomintang comrades ready to strive for?

It's not about fighting the country and sitting on the country! This is not our goal, and I believe it is not the goal of Marshal Chang Yaoru and the GCD people, although some people among the people support Chang Yaoru as the emperor, and Zhongzheng himself believes that if Chang Yaoru becomes the emperor, he will be the most wise emperor in Chinese history, and it will bring unprecedented prosperity to our country. But the most wise emperor always has a time when he is old and confused, and there is always a time when the dragon controls Bintian. Then, this Changjia dynasty, like the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty in history, will stage a tragedy of prosperity and decline, decline and chaos. This is not what our Kuomintang wants, nor is it the result that Marshal Chang Yaoru wants. Therefore, Marshal Chang Yaoru did not become the emperor, and Mr. Sun, the former prime minister of our Kuomintang Party, did not become the emperor.

But can not being an emperor ensure that our country will prosper for a long time without repeating the cycle of prosperity and chaos? We, the Kuomintang Party, believe that it cannot be, because the culprit who caused the chaos in the country in history was not necessarily the faint king. After all, the emperor is just a person, no matter how mediocre he is, no matter how poor and extravagant he is. Nor is it possible to defeat one of the world's largest empires. The real culprit that caused the country to rise and fall from the top to the bottom was actually a privileged ruling group, whether it was a nobleman, or a scribe, or a eunuch, or a foreigner, or a party member. In a word. As long as there is a group of people riding on the heads of the vast number of ordinary people and acting as prestige, no matter how rich and powerful the empire is, sooner or later it will be divided and eaten up by these great rats. This lesson is not unique to China. It is also common in the international community. For example, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the Persian Empire, and the Roman Empire, which were once prosperous, all fell from prosperity to decline for similar reasons, and finally went to extinction.

It is necessary for the country to get out of this cycle and prosper for a long time. There is only one way. It's democracy and freedom! In a word, it is necessary for the people to be the masters of the country and let the people supervise the government. China's biggest problem has historically been its lack of democracy. Therefore, the Chinese people need democracy very much, because only democracy can the country be stable for a long time, and China's internal and external relations can be put on track. Only then can we defeat the invasion of Red Russian imperialism in the future and build a good country. Only democracy can enable China to continue to unite in the future, and only with democracy can China continue to advance on the road of development.

The reason why our Kuomintang gave up its position in the coalition government and was willing to be an opposition party was to promote democracy in China. Because the lessons of Chinese history and the experiences of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany have all taught us. Democracy must be all-encompassing, political, military, economic, cultural, party and international relations. There is no doubt that the foundation for the realization of democracy is not based on the fact that various political forces work together to become officials in the DPRK. The basis of a democratic government should be based on freedom of speech, publication, assembly, and association, and a democratically elected government, and this democratic election must be a contest in which different parties participate, not a voting game in which there is only one party and one candidate. This is not true democracy and is not the goal of our Kuomintang, so our Kuomintang would rather be a bitter opposition party than participate in the so-called coalition government of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and enjoy the privileges bestowed by others.

However, as the chairman of the Kuomintang, the Central Legislature also made a solemn promise on behalf of the party and all the people: No matter what the outcome of this election is, our Kuomintang will accept it calmly and will not rely on the support of foreign forces to take the road of so-called armed struggle like the People's Revolutionary Party, which has defected to the enemy. Because our Kuomintang has chosen parliamentary struggle, we have chosen to be the second largest political party in China without relying on arms. In the future, the Kuomintang's line of striving for political power will be the road of constitutional democracy. We, the Kuomintang, are opposed to the one-D dictatorship, and we oppose the movement of the Kuomintang itself toward the one-D dictatorship. Therefore, the goal of our party is to use all kinds of legal means to win political power, curb the dictatorship of Marshal Chang and Marshal Chang Yaoru by using the political power and the army, improve universal education, and improve the people's living standards.

Finally, we, the Kuomintang, should also remind Chang Yaoru, Mao ZD, and the Zhongg Zhugong that there is no party in the world that will always be in power, and no matter how it rules with votes but with guns, it is inevitable that it will lose power one day. But the loss of power by the party that relies on the vote is only temporary, and the party that rules with guns will lose power forever! At this important turning point in our country, I hope that the gentlemen of China can think twice. ”

……

Jiang Jshi's article immediately caused a lot of waves in the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee, and the KMT's move to withdraw from the coalition government because it was unwilling to lose power was actually whitewashed by the old Chiang as giving up high-ranking officials in order to curb dictatorship and promote democracy.

"I think Lao Jiang can't eat grapes at all, and he says that grapes are sour." Chang Ruiqing waved a copy of the "Declaration" and said loudly at the meeting of the Political Bureau: "And he also carried the first army of our party." ”

As soon as the half-joking words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the conference room, although the official voting for the general election had not yet begun, but the number of public opinion polls released by the continuous release showed that the number of Zhong G was far ahead of the KMT, even if it was announced by the China Association for the Promotion of Democracy, a peripheral organization of the KMT, the public support rate of Zhong G was as high as 65.5%. If you count the Progressive Party, which has fallen to GCD, this figure is more than 70%! If nothing else, the coalition of the Progressive Party of China will have more than two-thirds of the seats in the Legislative and Senate houses! Not to mention the formation of a responsible cabinet. Even amending the constitution is more than enough.

After the laughter, Mao Zd, chairman of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, who presided over the meeting, stood up from his seat and said loudly: "Comrades, Jiang Jishi and the Kuomintang are just dying, and the choice of the people and history is our Chinese GCD!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and there was a burst of applause in the venue. Chairman Mao's interest seemed to be slightly depressed, and he lowered his voice and said: "This is the opportunity given to our party by history. It is also the responsibility entrusted to our party by history, and it is also the support and support of the broadest masses of the people for our party and opposition to the Kuomintang, and we should be worthy of this opportunity and responsibility. The Kuomintang, which represents the interests of the big bourgeoisie and big landlords, must never be given a chance to turn over and become masters in the future! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room, including Chang Ruiqing, was stunned, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed. Half an hour later. Chang Rui Qingcai said in a calm tone: "Comrade Runzhi." What do you mean......"

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become a famous overlord!" Mao ZD said this famous sentence word by word.

"But the Kuomintang and Jiang Jshi are not Kou." Chang Ruiqing's gaze swept across the conference room, and everyone, including Song Qingling, looked at him fixedly, as if waiting for him to make a final decision.

Mao Zd said with a gloomy face: "Now that the army, public opinion, and parliament are in our hands, the Kuomintang and Jiang Jishi only have a handful of supporters who are unwilling to be eliminated by history...... If Chiang J-shi and the Kuomintang had such an advantage, would they let us go? ”

"No!" Chang Ruiqing said in a deep voice.

"Then why should we let them go?" Mao ZD waved his arms to enhance his tone. Then he looked at Chang Ruiqing with blazing eyes: "I still mean to engage in multi-party coalition government instead of multi-party rotation in power, and now people of insight in the Kuomintang should have seen the general trend." How many people are willing to follow Jiang Jshi all the way to the black? If we can come up with a few ministers and committee members, we will certainly be able to win over most of the factional bigwigs in the Kuomintang, and we will completely isolate a handful of people headed by Jiang J-shi and completely sweep them into the garbage heap of history. Wouldn't it be good to form a multi-party coalition government led by the GCD, where everyone would unite and work together to bring the country to prosperity? ”

It turned out that Mao ZD wanted to use "legal" methods to rectify the Kuomintang and Jiang Jshi, with the current power of Chang Ruiqing and GCD, it should not be difficult to do this, in the Kuomintang there are many people who want money, officials and deaths, if these people all abandon the secret and turn to the light, how many diehards can there be? Even if it is banned, it is estimated that there will not be much movement, and the Central G still has a two-thirds majority in parliament, and the next constitution is not what they want?

"What do you think?" Chang Ruiqing asked the people around him in a low voice, and everyone nodded silently. No one spoke, but everyone had an expression of approval on their faces.

Chang Ruiqing turned her gaze to Song Qingling, and she smiled: "Chairman of the committee, rest assured, not everyone in the Kuomintang agrees with Jiang Jishi and Hu Hanmin, as long as we show sincerity, there should be many people who defect to us." ”

Before Chang Ruiqing could speak, Wang Yaqiao, his number one supporter in the Political Bureau, smiled and said: "Brother Yaoru, now that the hearts of the army and the people are on you, don't hesitate." Besides, what we have to do is not something shady and shady, since ancient times, political disputes have been to suppress the opposition...... At most, we will not arrest or kill the Kuomintang diehards. ”

When everyone heard that they would not be caught or killed, they all nodded one after another. One thing Lao Chiang did not say wrong in the article "The Promise of the Kuomintang" that the biggest problem in China has always been precisely the lack of democracy! It is precisely because of the lack of democracy that the idea of democracy does not have much foundation in China, and the vast majority of the common people do not know what democracy is at all, and what they want is only the model of a clear monarch and a clean official. And most of the political figures, although they like to shout democracy as a slogan, but really let them grasp the power, how many are willing to really practice democracy? For example, Jiang Jshi, who now shouts the slogan of democracy loudly, is not a master of immeasurable democracy in history?

However, Chang Ruiqing knows that the reason for this situation is that no one among the Chinese political leaders of this era really sees through the selfish nature of the Western democratic system, otherwise......

Thinking of this, Chang Ruiqing hummed and smiled at Mao ZD and Wang Yaqiao. He stood up, walked to Chen Duxiu, the former chairman of the Chinese G, pressed the other party's shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "I heard that Brother Yannian has returned from studying in France?" Don't have a job scheduled yet, do you? Why don't you go to other Xinjiang and elect a member of the political council? (To be continued.) )
