Years of the Republic of China 1913

The storm of clean government had a huge impact on the Republic of China. At the beginning of the 20th century, even the western countries known as developed countries also had corruption, even the United States, which boasted the most democracy and rule of law. After the 20s, with the improvement of all aspects of the social system, it gradually decreased.

Of course, please note that this is a gradual reduction rather than an eradication.It is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate corruption from human society. After all, human beings are a social group, and they are also individuals with desires. Under the characteristics of groups and individuals, there are inevitable reasons for the occurrence of corruption.However, the Chinese people raised the banner of anti-corruption for the first time in this era, and established an independent department dedicated to corruption issues, and launched a rumbling storm of clean government. The survivors are personally indistinguishable.

In response to the clean government storm in China, countries around the world have made substantial reports and highly praised it.Similarly, due to the arrest of a large number of people, the atmosphere of the whole society has also been cleared up. Not only the common people applauded, but also won the praise of many people from all walks of life who are single and self-sufficient.

Of course, Fang Zida is not without his brains. Although he deliberately led the clean government storm, he has strictly controlled the parties involved in private.Most of those arrested were government officials at all levels, businessmen and property owners who took bribes and cheated, and not many were involved in the military. Except for a few minor figures slightly related to the military, none of the main military personnel was moved. This is not because Fang Zida is soft-hearted, but mainly because the military must not be chaotic under the current circumstances. As for the corruption issue within the military, Fang Zida intends to solve the government corruption problem before proceeding.

Compared with the early establishment of the Republic of China, the situation of the military has improved a lot after two reorganizations of the National Defense Forces.But also, because of the top of the army or the top of the mountain.Some corruption situations still exist, and this kind of corruption problem is not so easy to solve with government officials. Once the interests of a certain party are touched, it will cause a chain reaction. Of course Fang Zida is aware of the consequences, so he deliberately communicated with Cen Chunxuan in advance Greeted privately.

After two reorganizations of the Wehrmacht.The previous problems such as eating empty pay have been greatly improved, but small actions such as deducting military expenditures from subordinates and falsely reporting expenditures are still repeatedly prohibited.The most serious of these is Cao Kun's Department. Cao Kun is currently the commander of the Southwest Military Region. Speaking of Cao Kun, he is not really greedy for money. What's more, the wealth he has accumulated over the years is enough for him to spend his entire life. What's more, he is now the commander of the Southwest Military Region. Holding military power, it can be said that his status is no less than that of Duan Zhigui and others.But the problem is Cao Kun’s male favorite, Li Yanqing. Because of Cao Kun’s love and trust, although Li Yanqing has no actual military position, he has vaguely become Cao Kun’s chief steward, and any expenditures will be handed over to Li Yanqing after Cao Kun’s signature Responsible for appropriating funds, because Li Yanqing was born as a scrubber in a bathhouse, his education level is not high, and he has a lot of money.He is a master who plucks the feathers of geese, so Cao Kun's accounts in the Southwest Military Region are in chaos.Corruption is serious.

Fang Zida had already received a report on this situation. Some generals of the Southwest Military Region dared not speak out against Li Yanqing's cheating and withholding of funds. If this problem is not resolved, what will be the morale of the army in the long run?

While the clean government storm was unfolding, Fang Zida specially sent a telegram to Cao Kun, asking him to restrain Li Yanqing's behavior.At the same time, people from the Security Bureau were sent to collect conclusive evidence of Li Yanqing for future use.This is a warning. If Cao Kun still indulges Li Yanqing, Fang Zida doesn't care if he is the first to attack Li Yanqing within the military after solving the problem of government officials.

Cao Kun seems to be rude, but he is actually a careful person. He also sees the central government's crackdown and firm attitude on the corruption issue.At this time, when the early bird had no good fruit to eat, plus Fang Zida sent a personal warning telegram, after reading it, Cao Kun immediately called Li Yanqing to scold Li Yanqing, and then summoned the generals in the name of the commander of the Southwest Military Region. It was announced on the spot that Li Yanqing's temporary posts would be withdrawn, and he sincerely apologized to everyone for the funding issue, saying that he, Cao Kun, would make up for the lack of funding.

Afterwards, Cao Kun eloquently sent a special telegram to Fang Zida. In the telegram, he first admitted his mistake with great shame, saying that he was not strict with his subordinates, improper employment, etc., and at the same time carefully reported the process of disposing of Li Yanqing to Fang Zida in detail. In the end, he patted his chest and promised that such a thing would never happen again.

Of course, Fang Zida should praise Cao Kun's good attitude and say a few words of comfort, but God knows whether Li Yanqing's incident will happen again.But this is the end of the story, Fang Zida has given Cao Kun face and face, if he commits a crime again in the future, don't blame Fang Zida for being cruel.Compared with before, although Cao Kun's strength is still strong, he is quite different from the warlord he was in the past. Although the commander of the Southwest Military Region has a high position, his troops only listen to the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff, except for the direct line. The order to pinch flat and make round is not all in Fang Zida's palm.

In mid-July 1920, at the same time that the Republic of China launched a vigorous and clean government storm, the situation in Russia also changed.

After several months of international aid, the famine problem in Russia has been slightly improved, and the autumn harvest is coming, the most difficult time has finally passed.During the relief period, there was a temporary ceasefire between the Soviet government and the Russian Empire's orthodox government. Although the two sides still did not recognize each other, at least a state of peace was maintained on the surface.But as the most serious problem of the famine was alleviated, the Soviet government began to make small moves, especially in the contact areas between the central south and the east, and some small frictions gradually began to occur.

On the night of July 7, the Soviet Red Army, which was in contact with Denikin's troops in south-central Russia, suddenly launched an attack on the other side. Denikin commanded the troops to fight fiercely with the Red Army in the middle of the night, and then quickly led his troops to leave the battlefield. In the early morning of the 25th, Moscow released a news claiming that the White Bandits of Denikin had suddenly attacked the Red Army camp last night, causing 26 casualties of Red Army soldiers and destroying a large amount of relief supplies. In the end, thousands of corpses were left behind and fled in embarrassment.

In addition to broadcast news, newspapers also published photos of some of the "destroyed" Red Army camps, the "wreckage" of burned relief supplies, and the remains of some "sacrificed" soldiers.The Soviet Central Committee accused Denikin's white bandits in an indignant tone, disregarding the overall situation of disaster relief, killing Red Army soldiers participating in disaster relief work by extremely despicable and vicious means, and also burning relief supplies. Even some victims of the disaster were killed by Denikin during the battle. Killed by the white bandits.Such actions are heinous and contrary to the spirit of humanitarianism and international peace. Their naked actions fully show the true face of the reactionaries. We call on all Russian people to unite, wipe their eyes, and not be seduced by the other party. Deceive, listen to his words, watch his deeds, unite and fight against the crazy reactionary forces to the end to complete the reunification of the motherland.

On the afternoon of the 26th, after receiving a report from Denikin's Ministry, the Orthodox Government of the Russian Empire also released news as quickly as possible. In the news, the Orthodox Government of the Russian Empire accused the Soviet Red Army of suddenly attacking the Denikin's defense area. Hundreds of people were lost to each other until Denikin's department took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield in order to avoid getting into trouble.From the beginning to the end, this was a despicable operation planned by the Soviet government. The government forces of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire never took the initiative to attack the other side, let alone destroying the Red Army camp and burning relief supplies.In this conflict, the Orthodox government of the Russian Empire was the real victim, and the whole incident was staged by the Soviet government to break the deadlock and continue their so-called revolution after the famine problem eased.

For a while, the two sides started a war of words about this incident, and it was so lively when you came and I went.In the contact area between the two sides, in order to carry out the so-called "self-defense counterattack", the Soviet Red Army continued to mobilize troops to attack the enemy-occupied area.The orthodox government of the Russian Empire also reacted very quickly. On the one hand, it ordered the front lines to resist with positional warfare and mobile warfare. The war is about to begin.

"How is the situation in the south-central region and the Far East of Russia?"

After receiving the news, Fang Zida immediately called Zhou Yuanliang. Zhou Yuanliang had always been in charge of the information about Russia. He was worried that some troops of the Russian Empire’s orthodox government would be unable to withstand the sudden Soviet attack and lead to collapse.

However, what Zhou Yuanliang reported reassured Fang Zida a lot.As early as when the two sides ceased fighting, Fang Zida considered this step and sent a reminder to the orthodox government of the Russian Empire through the Intelligence Bureau.Although this reminder may seem like a big deal to some people, considering the help and support from the Chinese government, the orthodox government of the Russian Empire still made some arrangements for the front line.It is precisely because of these arrangements that Denikin's troops did not suffer too many losses during the surprise attack. It is also the main reason why Denikin was able to retreat with his troops shortly after the two sides fought.

"Denikin has gained a lot of wisdom now. After leaving the battlefield, his troops retreated dozens of kilometers in one breath, and then spread out in various places. Except for some main forces continuing to move, the rest of the troops mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare. Today's intelligence shows that Denikin did not suffer."

Fang Zida nodded slightly, and then asked about the situation in the Far East, that is, Central Siberia.

However, because Central Siberia was too far away, even the intelligence feedback Zhou Yuanliang received was a few days ago. The troops of both sides had already begun to assemble, and the war was imminent. As for the specific situation, it had to wait for verification. (To be continued..)
