    May 5, 1930, early morning.

    With the inauguration ceremony of the fourth president of the Republic of China coming, many countries have sent representatives or special envoys to watch the ceremony. Everyone wants to see with their own eyes whether the national policy will be better after this young man who has dominated the Far East for nearly two decades comes to power.  There have been major changes, so the intelligence department did not dare to show any signs of fatigue during this period.  Fortunately, these days are finally over. Tiananmen Square, which has been closed for a whole year, has finally opened. The vermilion city walls, golden glazed tiles, white marble pillars and arch bridges have all been decorated, and the grand layout shows the style of a great country.  .

    Although the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China is far away from Tiananmen Square, it does not hinder Yang Qiu¡¯s determination to restore the style of the Republic.  Extending from Tiananmen is the National Mall, which is the same as in later generations. Opposite the square is the equally majestic and important Capitol Building.  At the midpoint between the two buildings, an obelisk dozens of meters high is wrapped in thick red cloth. The base is divided into nine layers, all carved from white marble.  Everyone in later generations will know what it was, but nowmany representatives from various countries who were invited to watch the ceremony pointed to the red cloth and whispered, as if they wanted to figure out the secret inside.

    The only difference is that there is no national emblem on the city tower, the avenue in front of Tiananmen Square has been modified to run across the Capitol Building, the splendid imperial city of the Three Dynasties will become a national museum, and no politicians will stay in that group anymore.  Behind the high walls and deep courtyards, the words emperor and emperor will fall from the land of China from now on.

    Starting from midnight, Qiu Wenbin and Wang Geng, who were named by Yang Qiu, each led the soldiers of the 101st Central Guard Division and the 18th National Guard Brigade to completely seal off the surrounding areas of the square. Only those holding special passes could enter, including citizens who were allowed to enter to watch the ceremony.  All need to be inspected.  Although it was cumbersome and strict, everyone was relatively cooperative. After all, this was the most important political event in the Republic of China. It can be said that the most important figures in the country were in Beijing.

    "Zhong Kai, Xia Ru."

    As soon as Liao Zhongkai and Li Liejun walked up the steps of the Capitol, they heard someone calling them in the distance. They turned around and saw Wang Zhaoming and Cai Yuanpei waving at the door.  It is no secret that the Democratic Party won the position of Minister of Education.  Although many members of the National Socialist Party were dissatisfied with this arrangement, Cai Yuanpei's character and attitude towards education quickly dissipated these dissatisfactions.

    ¡°I still want to go inside to find you.¡± After the Nanyang Incident, Hu Hanmin and others were arrested on suspicion of colluding with Moscow.  Democratic Party Chairman Zhang Shizhao was forced to resign.  As the older generation of the former Republican Party gradually passed away and they could not find a successor, Wang Zhaoming was elected as the new chairman of the Democratic Party.  Although he was defeated miserably in the general election with less than 15% of the votes, there was no sign of depression on his face. In fact, everyone knew that if someone else could still compete, Yang Qiu would be better off standing aside.  .

    "I'm discussing with Zhong Kai about the Yellow River bursting its banks. Stop blowing wind here and let's go in together." Li Liejun is the well-deserved eldest brother among the four.  After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them walked inside together. Many people nodded to the four of them along the way, and even many foreign representatives came to say hello in person.

    Yang Qiuneng's magnanimity in letting Cai Yuanpei take over as Minister of Education was beyond the expectations of the Democratic Party. This also gave the already dying Democratic Party a little bit of vitality. However, the four people also knew that they might not have any chance in the next 15 years, so after the election, Wang Zhaoming  He immediately told everyone at the party meeting to stop thinking.  Focus on following the grassroots line, remain an opposition party, and ignore the central government to strengthen supervision of provincial councils.  Try to use Yang Qiu's time in office to expand the number of seats in provincial and municipal councils.

    He didn¡¯t hide this from Yang Qiu. On the contrary, he told it all when they met. Unexpectedly, he received high praise.

    The sun gradually rose, and the sound of people inside and outside the building gradually became louder.  Everyone was chatting or paying attention to people's livelihood in various places. They seemed to avoid certain topics intentionally or unintentionally, but their eyes always looked into the distance inadvertently.  The National Mall was filled with wide-eyed ordinary people watching the presidential inauguration and military parade for the first time. Inside and outside the Capitol building, there were even more congressmen, government officials, and representatives from various provinces and cities.  Student representatives, guests attending the ceremonyand those shining stars.  In order to grab a good seat, reporters blocked both sides of the building early, leaving only a narrow passage with a red carpet in the center.

    Everyone is thinking, what kind of opening ceremony will they witness?

    The moment Li Yuanhong and Hu Weide¡¯s special cars appeared in front of the building, the former president and former prime minister stepped out of the cars one after another.  The flash still didn't let them go, just like the stars of later generations, they slowly walked from the red carpet into the building. Although the former acted freely, those who are careful can still catch the trace of reluctance before leaving.

    "I'm coming"

    A moment later, a stronger commotion came.  Six motorcycles cleared the way, and an extended bulletproof car slowly approached. The figure that had never seemed to bend in the past 19 years and the carefully dressed Miao Luo finally appeared in front of the Capitol under the expectation of everyone.The black general uniform that can only be worn by presidents and marshals has every wrinkle neatly ironed. The two golden glass dragon embroidery patterns running down the shoulders are solemn and noble. The cuffs have five gilded gold edges and are inlaid with three arranged gold medals.  Neat silver buckle.  The silver and gold complement each other, making him look like an unsheathed sword, and he dare not look directly at it!  Everyone was quiet for a moment, and then the spotlights flashed violently.  I don¡¯t know who took the lead in applauding. Gradually, the applause became continuous and loud, like thunder. And the generals who came to watch the ceremony stood at attention and raised their hands in salute without exception.

    No matter whether it is Sun Yat-sen who was temporarily unsuccessful, Yuan Shikai who stole the world, or Li Yuanhong who has been stable and peaceful for 15 years, none of them can receive such high honor and respect!  No one is a saint, and even now, half the people in this building are secretly wondering if there is a greater plan without him?  But ideas are always ideas. No matter how picky you are, you have to admit that the 38-year-old man in front of you, with a slender figure and handsome appearance, has completed a great and glorious national path!

    Needless to say, officers, even the most ordinary soldiers of the National Defense Force have been branded.  From the day they joined the army, they studied the tactics he formulated, studied every battle he led the generals to fight, studied his strategic thoughts, and read the military books he compiled.  Even those politicians who talk about politics and are more ruthless than their enemies on the battlefield cannot deny that without him, they might just be gentry somewhere, or they might have already fled abroad.  And foreigners will still be rampant in this country!  In the face of the rising national status, what he has done deserves everyone's respect!

    This is Yang Qiu¡¯s capital, even if ordinary people attribute all their past achievements to Li Yuanhong.  So what?  In the final analysis, it will never be the grassroots who have the right to speak in determining the future of the country.  As long as today is passed, without any deliberate pretense, countless people will dig out countless past achievements and add them to their crowns bit by bit. This is politics!  !

    "French Ambassador Mr. WillardJapanese Foreign Minister Baron Kijuro Shigehara, Ambassador Mr. Shigemitsu Aoi, British Ambassador Viscount Lampson" Yang Qiu and his wife were in Gu Weijun's house  After the introduction, he walked through the crowd step by step towards the conference hall. When he held Lampson's hand, he hugged the latter and inadvertently lowered his voice: "Congratulations, Mr. President. I'm very sorry to say this now, but as a  Ambassador, I need to know about Mr. William Swire & Bank and HSBC"

    Yang Qiu had been prepared for someone to make trouble.  He also took advantage of the hug and whispered: "They broke the law! They violated our country's financial and national security laws. As a sovereign country, the law should not be interfered by anyone or the country. Are you right?"

    Lampson¡¯s eyes twitched, and he knew that Yang Qiu would not let William and others go so easily, and said softly: ¡°There will always be a way, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    "Of course, I will consider it." Yang Qiu smiled and let go of his arms. The two of them looked at each other tacitly and continued to walk towards the guests behind them.

    The German Ambassador Taudmann, the representative of the Indian National Congress, the representative of the Saudi family of Najd Ben Aziz, etc., until Motolov and Egorov, the handshake time was much longer: "Thank you both for coming.  Participate in my inauguration. I hope that China and the Soviet Union can resolve their border troubles as soon as possible and establish long-term friendly diplomatic relations."

    "Your Excellency the President said very well, and I am willing to talk to you about some issues right away." Motolov has a gentle appearance and a dignified appearance, and he speaks very slowly but clearly.  And Yegorov Yang Qiu just glanced at it lightly: "Thank you, please take me to tell Chairman Kalinin and Mr. Stalin. If I have the opportunity, I am very willing to visit Moscow."

    Yegorov¡¯s expression changed slightly because Yang Qiu actually put Stalin behind him!  Who in the Soviet Union does not know that Stalin is the ruler of the country?  But he did not dare to reply, because Kalinin was indeed the nominal supreme leader of the Soviet Union. At least now, foreign countries still treat Kalinin first and then Stalin when conducting head-of-state communications and dialogue with the Soviet Union, and Yang Qiu  .It happens to be a head-of-state figure!

    According to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, no one can find any fault!

    Yang Qiu smiled and continued walking back.  When he saw the U.S. Secretary of State Henry Stimson and Ambassador Nelson Johnson who had come specially, he was much more polite. He shook hands and said enthusiastically in English: "Thank you for coming to my inauguration. Please say hello to President Hoover for me."  , I really hope to see him soon."

    Stimson also came with a mission this time, because since learning of Johnson's telegram, Hoover seemed to be possessed. There was not a day that went by that he didn't want to get the 2 billion order as soon as possible. Of course, he also wanted to unfreeze the funds locked in China as soon as possible.  , let them return to China as soon as possible to rescue the market.  This sentiment also affected the Secretary of State, who said enthusiastically: "Mr. President also very much hopes to meet with you. He hopes to know the exact date of your trip to the United States."Time, ready to welcome you personally.  "

    "You're too polite. I also want to leave immediately, but as you know, our country has been experiencing constant disasters recently, so I will visit the disaster-stricken areas in Henan in a few days. I don't expect to leave until early next month."

    "I should pray for the Chinese people. Everyone is lucky to have a president as dedicated as you." Stimson was very polite.  Jason, who was next to him, was worried that Yang Qiu would continue to delay, so he interrupted: "Mr. President, can I take the liberty of visiting the victims with you? I want to do something to help them."

    "Of course, as long as you don't escort me." Yang Qiu saw through at a glance that he was afraid that he would find an excuse to avoid, so he was prepared to supervise him personally. However, after Jason saw through, he was not embarrassed at all, and instead cheered.  laughed.

    After finally receiving the guests, Yang Qiu felt that the corners of his mouth were cramping. When he entered the spacious parliament hall under the leadership of Gu Weijun, his whole body froze.

    From a distance, Li Yuanhong is already holding the presidential scepter, wearing the same clothes and attire, waiting quietly on the rostrum. Next to him, there is Speaker of the National Assembly Deng Xiaoke, who is presiding over the presidential handover ceremony, and other people who are already crowded.  The entire conference hall was filled with a dark crowd.

    At that moment, the whole place was silent
