There are two other regions that have not fully responded to the Charter of the Republic so far, namely Shanghai and Guangdong Province. They both believe that the Overseas Revolutionary Society Party is the authentic democratic revolutionist, and they should be invited to govern China's overall situation.

Damn it, what kind of logic is this?

Li Xinghong, Luo Erhu, Gu Zhunian and others all expressed that it was too unreasonable, and if persuasion failed, they would use force to unify.

Chen Tianhua stopped it. He believed that if war can be avoided, it should be avoided if possible. He should let it go first and give everyone time to think carefully. Don't force it for the time being. First, establish the republic's political power, stabilize the established situation, and do a good job in economic construction.

First, he invited Sheng Xuanhuai, Li Jingfang, Li Cunzhi, Gu Hongming and others to form the interim government of the Republic of China, with Sheng Xuanhuai as prime minister, Li Jingfang and Li Cunzhi as deputy prime ministers, and Gu Hongming as government secretary-general.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established, with Gu Hongming concurrently serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Finance and Economics was established, with Li Jingfang concurrently serving as Minister of Finance.

The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs was established, with Li Cunzhi concurrently serving as Minister of Military and Political Affairs.

The Ministry of Education was established, with Cai Heqing concurrently serving as Minister of Education.

…

The National Congress Preparatory Committee was established, and two gentlemen, Cai Heqing and Liang Qi/Chao, thinkers with high reputations at home and abroad, were invited to serve as chairman and deputy chairman respectively. They invited people of insight at home and abroad to discuss the plan of founding the country.

Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Tianhua boldly dissolved the provisional military governments of various provinces and separated the military from the people's livelihood and economy. Each province, state, and county established three levels of government to focus on people's livelihood and economy, while local police and public security police departments/bureaus were temporarily assigned to local garrisons.

control.

The former provincial governors were changed to garrison commanders, and in principle they were under the jurisdiction of a regular field division.

The Generalissimo of the Navy and Army is set as the supreme commander of the army of the Republic, with jurisdiction over the General Staff Department, Army Department, Navy Department, Logistics Department, and Ordnance Department...

The army is organized into four corps, sixteen divisions, one capital guard division, one independent cavalry division, and other baggage troops, totaling 220,000 combat troops.

The navy is divided into the East China Sea Fleet, the First Yangtze River Fleet, the Second Yangtze River Fleet, and the Fujian Coastal Defense Fleet. There are a total of cruisers and other large and small warships, more than 100 supply ships, and more than 70,000 naval officers and soldiers, including a Marine Corps division, and a coastal river bank

and military port guard troops, etc.

Among them, the East China Sea Fleet currently has seven new and old cruisers, and 15 other torpedo boats and supply ships. It is the only ocean combat fleet of the Republic.

Of course, in just a few months, such major decisions and adjustments were made, especially the separation of military and political powers, the establishment and adjustment of positions, etc., which were all decided by Chen Tianhua against all opinions.

Because he knows that the current political consciousness of the vast majority of people is still in the state of military separatism, and not many people really understand the so-called democracy and republic. At this time, the so-called great democracy will only produce endless quarrels, which is not conducive to

The situation is stable and developing.

Sometimes, appropriate dictatorship is needed.

However, these arbitrary measures of his have naturally aroused a lot of criticism and dissent, and even voices of opposition.

Abolition of the provincial military governments and the military governor system, and separation of military and political powers are actually "cutting down the vassal state", which naturally deprives some people of their ambitions and power, which is of course unpleasant.

It's just that these people are intimidated by Chen Tianhua's strong military and economic strength, so they don't dare to rise up in public to oppose it. However, privately, there are still many undercurrents. If there is any trouble, these people will wait for an opportunity to jump out.

As a result, rumors spread everywhere. Some people said that he practiced dictatorship, nepotism, excessive concentration of power, and was not a true democratic republic.

Chen Tianhua had a clear idea in his heart, and he resolutely implemented these decrees and appointments under tremendous pressure.

He cannot be hesitant or hesitant about what he thinks is accurate.

"Report!"

A low shout at the door suddenly interrupted Chen Tianhua's thoughts and brought him back to his eyes. He turned around and saw that it was Yuan Fang, the director of the Internal Security Department.

"Haha, it's Director Yuan, what's the matter?"

Chen Tianhua pointed to the sofa in the room, took a few steps forward and sat on the first seat, crossed his legs, held a cigar in his mouth, and looked at Yuan Fang expressionlessly.

"Reporting to the Generalissimo, my subordinates have received a secret report saying that several overseas leaders of the Tongmenghui have arrived in Guangzhou by sea ship from Tokyo and other places, preparing to establish a new government throughout Guangdong. It is said that Chen Qimei from Shanghai has also rushed to Guangzhou to join forces.

Discuss the plan to build the country."

Yuan Fang bowed his head and reported respectfully.

Nowadays, with the implementation of new culture and new etiquette, the bowing of hands and so on have been cancelled. Soldiers raise their hands in salute, while literati raise their eyes in salute. When visiting, both parties mainly shake hands.

Yuan Fang is currently in charge of the Internal Security Department of the Republic of China. After the official establishment of the Republic, it was the Central Intelligence Department. His former overseas organization of the Military Advisory Office was naturally transferred to the Internal Security Department. Therefore, what is happening with the party in Tokyo?

He knows everything here.

After hearing this, Chen Tianhua frowned slightly inadvertently, took a deep puff of the cigar, and then stubbed out half of the cigarette in the ashtray.

"Generalissimo, can we take action?" Yuan Fang was stunned when he saw Chen Tianhua's action of suffocating his cigarette and asked quickly.

"What action?"

Chen Tianhua rolled his eyes at Yuan Fang unhappily. He didn't like his subordinates guessing his thoughts for no reason, "Continue to monitor and find out who is participating, especially the military representatives. Also, Shanghai needs to strengthen surveillance. Chen Qimei is a

Radicals, I'm afraid that he will come up with some new tricks next and make it impossible for everyone to step down."

"I understand, Generalissimo. I will take my leave first." Yuan Fang bowed slightly and then exited the Generalissimo's room.

Chen Qimei had a counter-argument with herself. This was something Chen Tianhua did not expect at all when he started. There should be many factors involved in this.

The first factor should be face.

In Chen Qimei's eyes, Chen Tianhua is Chen Tugen, a rustic country bumpkin who has neither left a foreign country nor a strong party to back him up.

Step out and raise your own men and horses.

Chen Qimei, as the pioneer, leader and sworn brother of the Revolutionary Party, has been wooing Chen Tianhua, hoping that he will join her party, fight against the Qing Dynasty together, and become her right-hand man in the future.

But he never expected that Chen Tianhua would start a rebellion alone, and he would succeed in one fell swoop, naturally becoming a leader. This would make Chen Qimei become a target of recruitment, and her face and self-esteem would be gone.

The second factor is probably personal ambition and realm.

Chen Qimei was personally ambitious and had a strong desire for power. In his early years, he gave up business and entered politics, studied in Japan, and joined the Communist Party, all because he wanted to use these poles to climb up.
