    ¡°Beijing¡¯s rare calmness is one of the signs of the political leadership and people¡¯s harmony, which is the prosperity of culture.  At the end of December, Xu Zhimo, Hu Shi, Liang Shiqiu, Chen Yuan, Wen Yiduo and others established the Crescent Society in Beijing, with Zhang Hanqing's full support.

    The prosperity of culture is one of the signs of a developed country.  When the Han Dynasty was strong, the glory of Han Fu reached its peak in the history of literature; when the Tang Dynasty was strong, the names of poets and saints went down in history.  How can the People's Party, which claims to represent advanced culture, not be the drummer of culture?

    With the political stability in the north, Zhang Hanqing has time to pay attention to the situation in the world. This is the first time in seven years that he has carefully examined the world.

    Japan is like a wounded wolf, licking its wounds after the Great Kanto Earthquake, waiting for an opportunity to bite China hard to make up for its losses;

    Britain and France are recovering their strength, and they are also silently watching China thousands of miles away, examining her future;

    The United States proudly stretched out its arms and announced to the world that "in general, the United States' business is to do business" and began its period of rapid economic growth, the so-called "Roaring Twenties";

    "The Soviet Union, on the other hand, closed its doors and concentrated on development.  The world of the twentieth century is a "peaceful" world by any calculation.

    Now is a good opportunity for China to develop its economy. It is the guiding ideology of China's diplomacy to ease relations with all countries as much as possible.  The Soviet Union, its largest neighbor, has the opportunity to exchange knowledge and make progress with China.

    As the Fengcian faction grew, it maintained important relations with Russia and later the Soviet Union.  If the Middle East Road and the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank added to the strength of the Fengcian faction, the howitzers exchanged with the Soviet Union for food and other supplies strengthened the strength of the People's Army.  As relations between countries tend to ease, can China form a deeper and closer partnership with the Soviet Union?

    Because major arsenals, especially the Shanghai Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, have been brought under their control, and cars from the Tianjin Automobile Factory have gradually entered the artillery regiments of various divisions, it is no longer appropriate to continue to manufacture mountain artillery that lags behind the times, and small-caliber grenades are not suitable for modern  The army has insufficient firepower.

    However, European and American arms exports to China were completely blocked at the request of Japan, and the People's Army was looking forward to getting help from the Soviet Union.

    Therefore, Zhang Hanqing decided to go to the Soviet Union in person to repair the previously damaged bilateral relations, experience firsthand the strength of this northern nation, and conduct on-site inspections of its political, economic, and military achievements, so as to provide reference for the People's Party in governing China.

    Zhang Hanqing has wanted to go to the Soviet Union for a long time.

    In his previous life in the early 1990s, he bemoaned the overnight disintegration of the largest socialist country in the world.  As a loyal lover of history, he also tried hard to explain the profound reasons and inevitability based on the information he knew.  How this huge empire, which has been a strong force against the superpower the United States for more than half a century, rose step by step from poverty, backwardness and strife, and then declined step by step, is something he could not have imagined in his previous life.  The mystery of belief.

    He can still clearly remember the great purge of counter-revolutionaries in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, and the resulting emergence of Stalin, the first powerful leader of socialism in modern history.

    But at this time, Zhang Hanqing went to the Soviet Union as the personal representative of Zhang Zuolin, Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Republic of China and as the crown prince with full authority to handle relations with the Soviet Union.  The main purposes of his trip were, first, to attend the memorial ceremony of Lenin, the great mentor of the proletarian revolutionary movement, and second, to explore the possibility of further strengthening Sino-Soviet relations and to conclude a Sino-Soviet peace treaty.

    At the beginning of the lunar calendar, January 21, 1924, at 18:50 Moscow time, Lenin passed away in the village of Gorki at the age of 53.  More than 900,000 people attended the memorial meeting to pay their respects to Lenin's body and observe a moment of silence.

    Sun Yixian, former leader of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government, Prime Minister of the Kuomintang, and Chairman of the Transportation Commission of the Republic of China, was shocked after hearing the news.  Through him, the Kuomintang found the direction of "alliance with Russia and the Communist Party, and support farmers and workers", so that it would not be pulled too far behind by the Kuomintang.  It can be said that Lenin was the benefactor, mentor and friend of the Kuomintang.

    In grief, he delivered a eulogy in person, using extremely high praise to deeply express the Kuomintang¡¯s respect for this mentor and its gratitude for pulling the Kuomintang out of the quagmire.

    Zhang Hanqing cannot ignore the impact of this large country, which is still the stable backer behind the Republic of China, on the international situation.  Although Sino-Soviet relations have had many twists and turns in their official history, at present, the strength of the Soviet Union cannot be underestimated in preventing Japanese aggression in the Far East.  How to effectively utilize this relationship, especially after Lenin's death, is a major test facing the People's Party.

    After happily celebrating the Lantern Festival, the last festival of the New Year, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, ZhangThe Han-Qing special train arrived in Manzhouli and transferred to a special locomotive of the Soviet Far Eastern Railway (broad gauge) to Moscow.  Those accompanying him include Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, General Armament Minister Yang Yuting, Beijing Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Mayor Mo Dehui and other political dignitaries, as well as Yu Yifan.

    Yu Yifan, who had been clamoring to go out to relax for a long time, would not miss this opportunity. Zhang Hanqing also felt guilty, and with a mentality of atonement, ignored the strange looks of others - he was paranoid, and the senior officials in the department were all  Knowing his relationship with Yu Yifan and the legend of "Chongxi" - let her join the team as an accompanying translator and life assistant.

    translate?  God knows, did she just learn English?  Part-time Russian translator?  Life assistant is real.

    Because of his continuous busy schedule, he did not even have time to accompany Yu Yifan after entering Beijing, so he clearly felt Yu Yifan's sadness.  Gu Ruiyu, who is younger than her, has been Zhang Hanqing's wife for more than a year. She, the "general manager" who is responsible for her aunt's important mission, is ignored by the real master. How can she not be angry?

    Zhang Hanqing used the excuse of being busy, of course he was busy.  But being busy during the day and not coming to accompany others at night is just an excuse.  Every time she saw Sister Xiao Gu enter Zhongnanhai at night and then leave in high spirits the next day, she felt like a light on her back.  She knew what the two of them were doing, so why didn't she say they were busy at that time?

    At this time, she would not think that Gu Ruiyu was Zhang Hanqing's legal wife after all, even though she was just Mrs. Ru.

    Gu Ruiyu originally wanted to go with her uncle this time, but it was difficult to explain her identity to Su Fang.  What era has it been? As the most famous young leader in China, he actually has two legal wives?  What kind of "sensation" will it be in the social world?

    In China, the feudal emperors had "three palaces and six courtyards", as well as countless concubines, as long as you think about it, you can.  But in foreign countries, especially European royal families, the tradition is a one-king-one-queen system, of course lovers are not counted.  Taking into account other people's traditions, Yu Yifan, who is still a "staff member", is more open-minded.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
