[Thank you for the dead man's head, seven taels of eel, I love you and the rewards I love you, thank you for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets! The growth of this book cannot be separated from everyone's care, please continue to support the creation of the emperor!]

Duan Qirui is undoubtedly a decisive and courageous commander. It only took twenty-one days in total from formally confirming the alliance with Sichuan to quickly completing a series of dazzling military mobilizations and decisions.

In just twenty-one days, Duan Qirui and many generals and think tanks under his command successfully suppressed the abnormal movements of the internal opposition and reached behind-the-scenes deals with the Senate composed of various political factions in various ways. Even the opposition leader Liang Qichao, who was evading Shanghai, stopped attacking Duan Qirui's government and successfully dismantled Feng Guozhang's camp in both political and military aspects. This shows how long Duan Qirui endured this day and secretly made great efforts.

No matter how the left-wing public opinion in the country is insulting or how the neutral factions are worried, the "Duan Xiao United" has been done. In terms of military, the military force after the joint efforts of the north and the south is enough to sweep away all opposition forces. Warlords of all sizes across the country deeply felt the destructive deterrence.

In politics, the mouthpieces of the two factions were putting their strength at the same time. The two sides worked closely together to jointly set off one wave after another, completely defeating the mouthpieces of the revolutionary party throughout the country. A large number of neutral newspapers moved closer to the mainstream under the close contact and communication of interests between the two factions. The revolutionary party in Guangzhou suffered the most violent political suppression since the founding of the Republic of China, and almost reached a shaky point.

On December 20, the joint meeting of the Central Government Government, the Senate, and the Ministry of Military Affairs passed an important resolution: the appointment of the Sichuan Governor, the Commander-in-Chief of the Sichuan Army, and the Chairman of the Democratic Party of China, General Xiao Yimin, as Vice Premier and Deputy Minister of Military Affairs.

The resolution was released, and all walks of life in China and abroad were extremely shocked.

The first reaction of the European, American and Japanese powers was incredible, and then they jumped up and down, and there was panic. This sudden change indicates that China's political situation and military territory have undergone tremendous changes, which have seriously affected the relations between Europe, America and Japan and all aspects of China. (Sacred Temple)

Before the great powers could make a sound in China, newspapers and magazines in nearly half of China's provinces were cheering and enthusiastically supported. Sichuan's development achievements since the founding of the Republic of China and the rapid changes are obvious to all. The young Xiao Yimin himself has great prestige. His great achievements in military reform, universal education, and development of people's livelihood have always been talked about by the middle and lower classes of the country.

The northern provinces under the Beiyang government, as well as Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Xikang and other provinces, were full of support. Major mainstream newspapers have published Xiao Yimin's legendary resumes, and they have been tirelessly publishing Xiao Yimin's achievements in all aspects and political influence that are well-known both at home and abroad. Large photos of Xiao Yimin's young and handsome appearances have appeared in front of the people of the country again.

In fact, as early as two years ago, President Yuan Shikai repeatedly called on Xiao Yimin to go to the central government to serve important positions. During Feng Guozhang's acting presidential position, he also repeatedly expressed his hope that Xiao Yimin would go to the central government and the Ministry of Military Affairs to serve, and to implement Sichuan's successful experience to provinces across the country. This appointment seems to be a continuation of the intentions of Beiyang's previous bosses, which is natural.

Therefore, although Xiao Yimin is very young, only twenty-eight years old this year and is still a vain year, his age did not become a factor criticized by mainstream public opinion. Instead, he gained strong support from the army's officers and soldiers and countless intellectual youths. The only thing that worries major political forces is that Xiao Yimin's tough military style and an indefinite vague political stance.

What is quite surprising is that no matter how shocked all walks of life in China and abroad, no matter how popular Chinese and foreign public opinion is, the highly anticipated General Xiao Yimin has never responded to the resolution of the Beijing central government. European and American officials and Chinese and foreign journalists who have been waiting for but cannot get any information can no longer sit still. Hundreds of diplomatic officials and journalists from various countries flock to Chengdu, Sichuan, which has become a sea of ​​joy.

On December 25, the fifth day after the Beijing government issued Xiao Yimin's appointment resolution, the Sichuan Provincial Government and the Sichuan Army General Command jointly held a grand celebration parade.

Thirty-five thousand military and civilians from Sichuan Army Officers School, the main forces of the Sichuan Army, the security forces, police forces, public industrial and mining enterprises, cultural and educational circles, and business circles participated in the parade to celebrate the completion of the first five-year plan of Sichuan's ten-year development outline two years ahead of schedule. The latest chapter of the temple

The 40 million people in Bashu are qualified to be proud of their achievements in construction:

In September, Sichuan University, with an investment of 1.25 million yuan, was completed and put into use, and the first recruitment of 1,500 freshmen were successfully admitted; in October, the Chongqing Yangtze River Bridge, which lasted two and a half years, total investment of 13 million yuan, the Xufu Yangtze River Bridge and the Chongqing-Neijiang section of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway were completed and opened to traffic, and the provincial highways from Chengdu to Kangding and Chengdu to Guangyuan were completed;

In early December, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Finance issued a statistical announcement, completing the annual construction plan and fiscal targets one month ahead of schedule. By the end of November, the fiscal revenue had exceeded 65 million yuan.

In mid-December, the Department of Education, the Department of Civil Affairs and the Department of Agriculture jointly issued a statistical announcement: 650 newly completed primary and secondary schools in the province, completing the construction goal of "each township has at least one middle school and three primary schools" ahead of schedule, and the first phase of the province's ten-year education plan was successfully completed; the promotion task of high-quality rice and subtropical economic crops, which lasted four years, was successfully completed, and the annual grain output increased by 17,000 tons compared with last year; the province's steel output exceeded 200,000 tons for the first time.

Throughout late December, all outsiders were infected by the festive Chengdu and countless smiling faces. Although most of them knew that the grand marches initiated by the Sichuan military and political authorities were building momentum for Xiao Yimin, they had to admit that Sichuan has achieved achievements that are enough to make the Sichuan military and civilians proud in various fields such as industry, commerce and agriculture. Sichuan, which has developed rapidly and flourishing, is undoubtedly a paradise on earth, and the impact on the suffering China is undoubtedly positive and far-reaching.

Just when many outsiders strongly demanded to see Xiao Yimin, Xiao Yimin was still moving towards his predetermined goal in an orderly manner.

On the night of the parade and celebration, 120 Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan officers from various departments of the Sichuan Army and Xikang Border Defense Army gathered at the General Command.

Under the personal leadership of Commander-in-Chief Xiao Yimin, one hundred and twenty outstanding officers raised their right hands and relived their oaths under the solemn military flag and the Chinese Democratic Party flag:

"I volunteer to join the glorious Chinese Democratic Party, support the party's program, abide by the party's constitution, fulfill the obligations of party members, implement the party's decisions, strictly abide by the party's discipline, keep the party's secrets, and for the national rejuvenation, I am willing to sacrifice my life, shed my blood, fight for the rest of my life, and never betray me!"

The vigorous and firm voice made everyone's blood boil.

Xiao Yimin, facing the military flag, turned around and raised his hand to signal. One hundred and twenty outstanding officers immediately sat down neatly, stood up more than ten intelligence staff and combat staff around the conference room, and began to distribute confidential documents.

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Yimin looked at the young faces in front of him, either shocked, excited, or slightly panicked, and began to explain this top secret action:

"The reason why you, twenty people, were drawn is entirely because you are the best-performing military officers among all graduates from all walks of life in the military academy. Whether in the Sichuan Unification War or in the Western Expedition to Kangzang to fight against imperialist invaders, you have made great contributions in your respective positions. As your commander-in-chief and as your principal, I am very satisfied with your performance and extremely proud!"

The applause rang out loud, and it took a long time to stop. Young faces were full of excitement, and the eager eyes were full of pride. All hesitation, panic, and fear disappeared at this moment.

Xiao Yimin took a deep breath:

"Everyone knows that due to the joint efforts and heroic sacrifice of all our soldiers, the two lakes have come to peace. As many as 50 million people have bid farewell to the smoke of gunpowder and war because of our hard work. However, the situation in the country is still very arduous, especially the people of the four northeastern provinces and coastal provinces, still living in dire straits. Every day and every minute, they are trampled on by the iron hooves of invaders such as Japan, Britain, France, etc., and are under the exploitation and ravage of reactionary warlords and national separatist forces. We have a long way to go!"

After a pause, Xiao Yimin picked up the top secret document with five stars printed on the cover:

"This is the most important and most difficult part of our second strategic plan. It has an extremely important impact and great significance for our army and whether our party can unify the sacred land south of the Yangtze River within one year. It can be said that from this moment on, you have carried the glorious and heavy responsibility of our party and our army. You will take off your cherished military uniforms and say goodbye to your military status for a while. You will not have the opportunity to face your comrades and relatives. You can no longer use your previous name to risk losing your life at any time, or even lose your bones... I will ask you again last time, if you have difficulties and need to withdraw, please raise your hand, and you will not be punished or discriminated. You only need to stay at the headquarters for two years to return to your original unit."

All 120 elite soldiers from the audience stood straight and looked at their beloved principal with great firm determination.

The pain flashed in Xiao Yimin's eyes:

"Okay! Very good... Please rest assured that no matter whether you complete your tasks successfully or not, your family will receive permanent care from the headquarters. Any other requirements can be written in the report later and handed over to your direct leader General Ma Gang. He will not only provide the greatest support for your actions, but will also meet your requirements and wishes as much as possible...

"Everyone, you are not only my best subordinate and best student, but also my best comrade-in-arms and good brothers. I am waiting for your good news to come. On the day you return triumphantly, I will personally ban the first-level military merit medal for you!"

After Xiao Yimin finished speaking, he solemnly saluted 120 students who had special missions. The 120 elite soldiers immediately stood up and returned the salute to Xiao Yimin neatly. They were all excited and breathing rapidly, and they were reluctant to put their hands down for a long time.

ps: Today I saw the Japanese government signing the "Diaoyu Island Purchase Contract", and the emperor was so angry that he was furious!

When the emperor was writing, he checked a large amount of information. The Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islands are China's inherent territory. There is no doubt that the so-called "island purchase" behavior of the Japanese government is completely illegal and invalid! In accordance with the provisions of the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, Japan, as an enemy country, should be limited to Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu Shishi Islands. Even the Ryukyu Islands, where Okinawa Prefecture, Japan is located, should be returned to China!
