    ??

    Regarding the first congressional election, Zhang Hanqing did not believe that the People¡¯s Party would come back, so he could still sing every night at such an important moment, but someone wanted to force him to believe it.

    Countless opposition forces are planning this election.  Since the People's Party has completely controlled the military and stabilized the country's political situation, the military and administrative power have been firmly in its hands. After many wars, it has become impossible to seize power by force.  In today's China, the People's Army is indestructible.

    ¡°However, due to the parliamentary system created by Zhang Hanqing, as long as he has a majority in the two sessions in the future, he can legitimately influence China¡¯s politics and exert his own influence.  This is the consensus of many weaker "gangs", especially the Kuomintang.

    Since the death of Sun Yat-sen, the Kuomintang has been like a hero who has become useless.  Although the KMT is currently the second largest political party in Congress after the People's Party in terms of the number of members, due to the premature death of Sun Yat-sen, the shortcomings of insufficient integration within the KMT have begun to appear.  Not to mention that the three major factions of left, center and right are full of contradictions. Even within the same faction, there are many people making small calculations, such as the Song family in Shanghai and the Kong family in Shanxi.

    Originally, the Song family, headed by Soong Ching Ling, was a staunch leftist, and because of the relationship between Soong Meiling and Zhang Hanqing, they had close ties with the People's Party and had always had a harmonious relationship.

    The rightist Hu Hanmin initially hoped to fly the banner of Sun Yat-sen, but after seeing with his own eyes Zhang Hanqing's battle of wits and courage with the British and Japanese in Shanghai, he wisely stated that he would join hands with the People's Party, which made him, a rightist leader, seem to be more powerful than the leftist.  radical.

    ¡°Coupled with the tendency of leftist leader Liao Zhongkai, if it does not show its performance in the parliamentary elections, the party may be annexed by the People¡¯s Party.

    Fortunately, they all know that the reason why they are valued by the People's Party is that they still have a certain weight in the political arena.  If you want to continue to have the right to speak, you have to show something, so we are still taking this election very seriously.

    Because of Sun Yixian's huge influence in Gui, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, Chongqing, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and other provinces, even in the two years after his death  , the Kuomintang still has a great say in these places - according to preliminary estimates, in this congressional election, the Kuomintang will hold about 150 of the 482 seats in the House of Representatives.

    This is because in this election, considering that there is no soil for universal suffrage for the time being, the method is simplified.  Among the MPs elected from each province, the proportion of each party is initially calculated based on the proportion of MLAs in each province.

    Because according to the election law, the number of members of the House of Representatives in each province is determined by the proportion of each party in the provincial assembly. That is, each party elects its own representatives based on the number of members of its party in the provincial assembly and in an equal election method.  Candidates, these heads will directly become members of the Congress.

    If each party has more than one decimal point, it will be re-elected with the other extra parties, and the party with more votes will win - generally speaking, the strong will always be strong.

    Because members of parliament at all levels are elected by local superiors, parties with a strong mass base and large areas of control can easily gain an advantage, especially the People's Party - this is the dominant position of the ruling party.  Sexual expression.  Because of its great achievements in the founding of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang still has the opportunity to compete with the People's Party in some provinces.

    Because of this, the Kuomintang is not willing to be the target of the People's Party's "united front".  After two years of changes, the leftist leader Liao Zhongkai, who has great authority in the party, respects Sun Yat-sen's last wishes and is encouraged by the People's Party to "unswervingly implement the policy of 'three dishes cooking justice'".  He moved towards the People's Party, only he did not quit the party.

    The grassroots Kuomintang members see no way out for their party. Basically, all the ways to realize their ideals are being realized by the Kuomintang one after another: economic construction, administrative governance, supporting national capital, fighting for sovereignty and independence Therefore, many party members have already switched.  The Kuomintang fell into the arms of the Kuomintang, resulting in a shocking 1/4 drop in members of the Kuomintang in one year.

    If the Kuomintang cannot rebuild its morale, as the country's situation gets better and better, their influence will only get worse and worse.  As the elders of the Kuomintang, Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin, the common pressure prompted them to abandon their old differences and work together for the continued existence and development of the Kuomintang.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like the Japanese haven¡¯t thought about such a powerful party leader who has the opportunity to compete with the People¡¯s Party.  However, Hu Hanmin believed that the dispute between the People's Party and the Kuomintang was an internal issue within China, and it was inappropriate for foreign forces to intervene, otherwise it would lose its meaning, so he rejected the "good intentions" of the Japanese.

    Wang Jingwei, on the other hand, maintained an optimistic attitude towards supporting the Japanese and kept in constant contact with the Japanese.

    Some political parties established in the early days of the Revolution of 1911 also fought for their own rights without hesitation.There are many widely influential figures among these political parties. To a large extent, their attitudes have the opportunity to give votes a greater chance of attribution.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui and other political elders also have a certain strength in the Congress.

    Among them, Yan Xishan has the highest status and is the vice president of the country - of course a false title. This was a soft move implemented by Zhang Hanqing to transfer him to leave his hometown in Shanxi.  Because he has been away from his hometown in Shanxi for two years, his original deep-rooted position has begun to loosen. His power is not optimistic about the 14-vote House of Representatives seat in Shanxi Province.

    Wu Peifu is worth mentioning.  When he was "fleeing" in Sichuan, he decisively persuaded Liu Xiang to submit to the Central Committee. This can be regarded as a true act of innocence and meritorious deeds in principle.  After the reunification of southwest China, he returned to Beijing safely.  Although he has no soldiers and no power in the army, he was elected as a member of the Hebei Provincial Assembly because he has been entrenched in the direct area for many years and his upright style is very popular.

    After becoming a member of Congress, his personal charm began to show.  However, observers believed that Cao Kun had bribed voters before, and it was difficult for him to obtain many of the 64 votes in the three provinces of Henan, Hebei and Beijing.

    In the same way, Qirui also hopes to make a comeback.  After a year in power in name only as Zhang Zuolin's puppet, the veteran who had dominated Chinese politics for decades had no choice but to step aside and settle in Tianjin.

    Duan Qirui, who has been living in Jinmen for a long time, once said that he only talks about Buddhist scriptures and does not ask about politics. In fact, he has been active in the political arena for decades and is unwilling to be lonely. Moreover, "politics" come to ask him from time to time.  Japanese spy Doihara and others tried to pull him out of the mountain and organize a puppet regime completely loyal to the Japanese that was opposed to the National Government in Beijing.

    What¡¯s admirable is that Duan Qirui didn¡¯t agree.  It was obvious to all that Duan Qirui was pro-Japanese, but he was unwilling to instigate the Chinese to start another civil war. He did not want to be led by the Japanese.

    In order to prevent Duan Qirui from falling into the hands of the Japanese and to enable the power of the old Anhui clique to be used by the People's Party, Zhang Hanqing continued to send civilians out to Beijing to do Duan Qirui's work, and persuaded him to come to Beijing to "recuperate", "so that he could be ready at any time."  business affairs".  But Duan Qirui was wavering, undecided.

    Comparatively speaking, Feng Yuxiang has the weakest strength and foundation.  However, due to his resolute launch of the "Beijing Coup" and his great achievements in ending the internal fighting between China's two largest factions, as well as his determination to follow Sun Yat-sen, he won the hearts of many people, including those who already held important positions in the People's Army.  Many former generals of the Feng clan had respect and guilt for this old boss.

    After he was forced to lift his military power, he traveled to the Soviet Union and Western Europe, essentially doing nothing for more than two years and staying out of the Chinese political arena.

    Originally, he had been angry more than once to continue fighting against the People's Party, and many potential opponents of the People's Party lobbied him to oppose the People's Party's rule. However, what he saw and heard after returning to China gradually wavered.  Such determination.

    The country has continued to develop steadily and people's living standards have steadily improved. What benefit would it bring to the country's development to wage another war to break this hard-won situation for many years?

    If we can unite the forces of the Democratic Party, Duan Qirui (Wan), Wu Peifu (Zhi), Yan Xishan (Jin), and Feng Yuxiang, we will have a rare chance of defeating him with an absolute advantage of more than 300 votes in the congressional midterm elections.  The People's Party thus truly became a political party and legally seized power under the conditions stipulated in the interim constitution!

    Because the parties only initialed these provisions at the beginning, the specific details will still have to wait until this session of Congress is established before discussing and voting on them.  Now is the time!

    These factions also have their own calculations: since the People's Party has essentially led the entire country, taking the initiative to vote for the People's Party is just the icing on the cake, and if they cast their votes for the second-placed Kuomintang, which is said to participate in politics and is actually in the opposition, it will undoubtedly  It means to provide help in times of need.  In order to win over the votes of various parties, the Kuomintang must take certain care of the interests of all parties.

    So, driven by this temptation, various political parties and factions began to gather together towards the Kuomintang based on their own calculations, adding many variables to the election.

    "In the continuous stream of information reported by the People's Party Organization Departments in various places, there is more and more information about the adverse situation, and the evidence is becoming more and more comprehensive and conclusive, making Zhang Hanqing's nerves suddenly tense.  There are many things that have capsized in the gutter in the history of China and foreign countries. It is not Zhang Hanqing's style to work hard to win a country, but then end up making wedding clothes for others.

    Of course, Zhang Hanqing does not have the opportunity to completely solve this matter, just like what Zhang Zuolin said after he reported it to his cheap dad, "I'll send a division to clean them all up."

    "It's easy to kill people, but it's hard to eliminate the consequences.  Needless to say, the Japanese took the opportunity to start an uprising, and even the British and American countries that pride themselves on "freedom, freedom, and human rights" would not agree. In addition, this action would set back China's war system, which had finally been put on track with great difficulty, for decades, and even more so.  It was far from Zhang Hanqing's original intention to make a bad start.

    Since the election has been decided, we must win this round openly, because under the leadership of the People¡¯s Party, it was originally a clean election.  ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The British and American countries that "freedom, democracy, and human rights" will not agree to it; in addition, this action will set back China's democracy system that has finally got on the right track for decades, and it will start a bad start, which is far from Zhang Hanqing's intention.  .
