In Ouyang Yun's mind, the Central Army is full of problems and has two lives of experience. Especially before time travel, the research on the Central Army has already formed a system, so once he starts talking, he can talk about this issue for a long time, and As the saying goes, children are still their own relatives. In the eyes of Chen Cheng and others, Ouyang Yun's expressions were of Spring and Autumn style, which was obviously over the top. Chen Cheng did not say anything but thought in his heart: "Eradicate the warlord mentality in the army, you Ouyang Yun Isn't he just the biggest warlord in China?" Thinking like this, I was quite disapproving of his views.
After the meeting, just as the outside world had speculated, the headquarters had issued a major military order. In addition to the existing student expeditionary force, new troops were about to go abroad to fight, and the total number of troops involved was nearly 200,000. , are all former Central Army and now National Defense Forces. They will be organized into three armies, with Luo Zhuoying as the commander-in-chief. They will first go to Karachi to receive adaptive training, and then they will go to the Australian battlefield and become part of the Australian Relief Corps.
When the news spread, as Feng Yuxiang and Chen Cheng feared, it immediately aroused widespread discussion across the country. Ninety-nine percent of them expressed serious confusion. The various democratic parties that had joined the coalition government, Including GMD, they all have newspapers they control. These newspapers have become the mouthpieces of each party, filled with voices of doubt and even condemnation. To put it mildly, they only question the government's capital to send troops overseas when the domestic war is not over; To be polite, I directly doubt whether the current government has any secret agreement with the United States. The content is that the United States supports the student army to take over the central government. As one of the core contents,
After the Xuebingjun entered Chongqing, the coalition government actually began to operate. Since it is a coalition government, all democratic parties across the country will naturally participate as long as they express support. However, some so-called parties only have a total of a hundred party members. And they are all talkists. It will be difficult for these parties to get seats in the parliament, let alone important positions in the government. However, the leaders of these parties obviously will not give up this rare opportunity, so they question the government Their appointments and decisions have become the only magic weapon they can use to express their status as Taigao.
The policy agenda of the coalition government has not yet been released, but in order to stabilize people's hearts, Ouyang Yun once proposed several principles in an impromptu speech. Among them, democracy was the one he emphasized. But now it seems that his original statement has become The biggest basis for those with ulterior motives to stir up trouble is that "a democratic government will naturally not convict people based on speech" and "a democratic government will naturally learn from the opinions of all parties." Someone once published a long article on "democracy" in a newspaper. Now, Li Ziwen, who was in charge of media publicity, thought it would be beneficial to the government's next phase of work. After asking Gu Lianyun for instructions, he did not curb it but publicized it. Those small parties were inspired and began to participate in state affairs with unprecedented enthusiasm. Well, now they actually I started to question the military decisions of the headquarters.
The Xuebingjun government's consistent method of dealing with such matters is to debate them through official media mouthpieces such as Xuebingjun Times and Guangzhou Daily, and use powerful public opinion propaganda tools to sway public opinion, thereby eliminating the adverse effects invisible. , Li Ziwen still used this magic weapon at the beginning. However, what dominated public opinion in Chongqing was the influence of several major newspapers originally controlled by the central government, such as "Xuebingjun Times" and "Guangzhou Daily" controlled by GMD. It was simply not comparable, and GMD's attitude on this matter was consistent with that of newspapers of small parties. Therefore, after a battle of media propaganda, the media affiliated to Xuebingjun quickly lost. Li Ziwen had no choice but to Asking Gu Lianyun for help, Gu Lianyun didn't have any good ideas. In the end, he had no choice but to come to Ouyang Yun.
At that time, Chen Cheng happened to be there. Chen Cheng wanted to avoid it, but was left behind by Ouyang Yun. Chen Cheng overheard, and he shook his head and said, "I've said it before. Due to the current situation, we want to achieve complete democracy." The time is not yet ripe, so what?"
"Vice Minister Chen, please stop making sarcastic remarks. Do you have any good ideas?"
Doubts from the people have already affected the troops, and criticisms from the military have emerged. In view of this, Ouyang Yun naturally dare not take it lightly.
"There is no good solution, just revert to press controls."
"This is absolutely not possible. This will only cause greater resistance." Gu Lianyun said,
"Then what should we do? If we allow those idle guys to continue barking, it will have a very negative impact on the morale of the troops."
"There are ways, but it requires Vice Minister Chen to come forward." Gu Lianyun said,
Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to come forward, it's just that my influence within the party is limited. I can only ask Er Chen for help in this matter."
The two Chens mentioned by Chen Cheng refer to Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu. Chen Lifu has controlled the GMD party affairs for many years, and Chen Guofu has been serving Chiang Kai-shek. He is deeply rooted in the GMD and has a considerable influence. Chen Cheng is not trying to shirk this.
Er Chen, no, we should also include many officials from the old Jiang era. This is an obstacle that the coalition government cannot get around. It is true that due to the war, the central government actually has very few areas under its jurisdiction. Ouyang Yun is here Even if there is no one to replace a comprehensive blood change, then, considering the smooth transition of political power, these human factors must be taken into consideration.
Ouyang Yun was busy with the military during this period. Although these issues were also within the scope that must be considered, he really couldn't find time to think about it seriously. At this time, Chen Cheng reminded him that he felt it was time to properly resolve them, otherwise there would be no fighting on the front line. Victory, but the rear was in chaos, and the political instability affected the military process. Furthermore, he even thought that the current public turmoil might be caused by Er Chen and others. Currently, in the Chongqing area, the GMD Party Headquarters The newspapers he controlled were still dominant. If they went against the coalition government, it would have far-reaching consequences. Thinking of this, he felt that he could not delay any longer. He said to Chen Cheng: "Er Chen, I will go and talk to them." , but there are still some people. I hope you can talk to them. Needless to say, just give them an explanation. When the new government is established, of course there will be a new policy agenda, but one thing remains unchanged, that is, In the war of resistance, the new government will definitely retain those who are beneficial to the development of the country. Well, we can be more specific. As long as there are no major flaws in their previous work and they have not violated national laws and regulations, they can be given a three-month retention period. Three months After a few months, if the assessment proves that they are qualified for the current job or that they are qualified for other positions, they can stay in the job."
