When Dai Yunnong began to find connections, when the Nanyang Democratic Party was preparing to cheat people, Yang Du also went to all parts of the country to move the capital and revise the constitution. When he returned to Nanjing, the five-year National Congress of the National Social Security was already held in Zhengzhou, so he rushed to Zhengzhou to report the progress of the matter to Yang Qiu.1,

Zhengzhou is now a true railway hub center. The Jinghan Line, Longhai Line, Zhengtai Line and the Zhengji Line under construction gather together. In addition, the Yellow River Waterway is close to each other, the ancient city of the Central Plains is full of vitality.

In addition to the well-connected railways, Henan has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past 14 years of the Republic of China. First, the population has dropped from 30 million in the early years of the Republic of China to less than 24 million now. In the nine years after the Chengcheng Act, nearly 6 million people were evacuated and immigrated to eight border provinces including Beihai, Xinjiang, Kashgar, etc., becoming a major immigration province alongside Hebei, Shandong and Jiangsu. Secondly, the first industrial prosperity of chimneys appeared in the Central Plains. Through the driving force of the state-owned Zhengzhou Industrial Group, the use of railway waterways and coal and iron resources, a comprehensive large group company like Hanyang Industrial Group was quickly established. Subcontracting and standard parts requirements formulated by the Ministry of Industry, a large number of low-end accessories were shipped to surrounding private factories, gradually driving the Central Plains industry.

As soon as Yang Du got off the car, he saw that the front was blocked by soldiers. Zhan Tianyou was spinning around a train without a chimney during the break.

...”

"It's Xizi, you're finally here. The Vice President asked during the meeting in the morning." Although Zhan Tianyou didn't ask about politics, he still knew about the recent uproar of moving the capital, and he also knew that it was Yang Qiu who deliberately asked Yang Du to let the news and promote it.

Yang Du saw a train without a chimney for the first time, and only after asking, he found out that this was a new product of Zhengzhou Railway Factory, a new locomotive powered by diesel internal combustion engines. The engine came from a large marine diesel engine developed by Germany for the Markensen-class battlecruiser in the Rhineland plan. The Hanyang Engine Factory not only successfully imitated it, but also improved it with German engineers. The power was increased by 20% compared to the prototype. However, because the Navy did not consider the internal combustion engine for the time being. In order to maintain low-speed production in the reserve technology, it was installed on the train with Zhengzhou Group.

The advantages of internal combustion locomotives are small size and fast starting speed. The new locomotive can reach 60 kilometers per hour. The disadvantage is that its power is smaller than that of steam engines. It is impossible to use trucks. However, Zhan Tianyou attaches great importance to this technology and believes that it is the general trend that countries are developing internal combustion locomotives, and they also specially cut out three million from railway construction to fund this research.

Yang Du was a layman in terms of technology. Instead, he was more concerned about Zhan Tianyou and asked, "Mr. Juancheng, I heard you are going to resign?"

"Haha, I can't stand it when I'm old, so I should give way to the young people." Zhan Tianyou held the motorcycle with his hand and looked reluctant. In fact, since Tang Shaoyi stepped down, these young children from the United States who were studying in the United States gradually withdrew from the stage. In addition, they are old and are not suitable for running back and forth, so they have officially submitted their resignation to Li Yuanhong.

Yang Du frowned. The capital movement is no longer a big problem now, but the constitutional amendment requires extensive support. Zhan Tianyou is Yang Qiu's iron-kick. He is also known as the father of railways and has a great influence among students and millions of business people related to railways. If he supports it, he will undoubtedly be more confident. So he said: "Can Mr. Juncheng be a year later?"

"A year later. Why?"

Zhan Tianyou looked at Yang Du in confusion. The latter quickly told all about the constitutional amendment and reform of the presidential system. To be fair, Zhan Tianyou does not support the reform. The biggest advantage of the congressional system is that it restricts power. But from the experience of the 14 years of the Republic of China, it can be seen that this country still needs someone who can make the decision. Li Yuanhong is a typical president of Taiping, and the power is in the hands of Yang Qiu. He inserted his confidant control of fiscal and military power through constitutional loopholes, undermining the Presidential Office and the Prime Minister's Office, and bypassing the Congress. Doing this is an obvious act of abuse of power, but if it were not centralized to do major tasks, would the country have come to this day?

When I first met Yang Qiu, he gritted his teeth to support education and railways under financial difficulties, and spent huge sums of money to build the Southwest Railway Network. Later, the Longhai Line and the China Railway were even more unparalleled railway projects. In fact, Zhan Tianyou understood that these projects are currently incurred in losses, and the annual railway profit after deducting operating costs was completely ineffective. Without long-term unilateral national fiscal investment, it would be impossible to complete these major projects. Yang Qiu has now exploited loopholes in the constitution, but he can no longer go astray after he came to power. Moreover, even if there are all members of the National Social Security Council, some people will be unwilling to delegate power, and there may be a dispute between the government and the court.

Disputes will inevitably lead to chaos, slowing down the speed of national construction and even many projects with huge investments but no benefits will be cancelled. Railways are typical for large investments and small returns, so if you want to maintain the country's investment in railways, you must support Yang Qiu to recover the president's power.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhan Tianyou agreed: "Please tell the Vice President that Zhan will take back his resignation."

Having received support from Zhan Tianyou, the constitutional amendment gave him a few more chances of winning, so after asking Yang Qiu where he was, Yang Du drove to Zhengzhou Arsenal.

Zhengzhou Arsenal is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhengzhou Industrial Group and one of the largest military-industrial enterprises in the country. It can produce almost all weapons and equipment from ** to tanks. Its fist products are armored vehicles and anti-aircraft guns. The three anti-aircraft guns that the National Defense Forces began to install are all from Zhengzhou, and their performance is comparable to the latest European and American products and even slightly exceeds that. The formation of such an advantage depends on the beginning of construction. Yang Qiu deliberately copied the drawings of anti-aircraft guns such as Erickon and Bofors to Zhengzhou. With the Rhineland plan obtained a large number of metallurgical technologies such as German formula and self-tightening of the body tube, the quality and performance began to improve rapidly, especially the double-barrel 25mm and 40mm anti-aircraft guns that had won the British Navy anti-aircraft gun bid last year, and opened up the European market. Last year, the UK alone ordered 360 double-barrel naval and 317-barrel single-barrel models in one go.

Compared with small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, the new generation of 85mm anti-aircraft guns is the main reason for attracting Yang Qiu and military representatives to inspect. The new 85mm anti-aircraft gun is one of the key military projects and is expected to be put into service in 1928. The prototype comes from the later Type 72 85mm anti-aircraft guns, but due to factors such as metallurgy technology, manufacturing capacity and price, the body tube has been shortened to 56 times the caliber, and the initial speed, range and shooting height have been greatly reduced. Judging from various data, it is very close to the upcoming German 88 guns, and it can even be said to be the 85mm version of the German 88 gun.

The new 85 gun is now in the experimental testing stage, but its extended models have been highly praised by the military. It can use solid fortifications and tanks on a flat surface. The 35° angle is a cannon with a range of 12,500 meters, and the 55° angle is a howitzer with a range of 11,000 meters. At a large elevation angle, it is a medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun. It is equipped with a double ammunition supply machine at the bottom and uses a double-layer water-cooled gun barrel. It is a naval dual-85mm high-level dual-purpose gun. The only thing that makes the military dissatisfied is that this cannon is extremely expensive, which is more expensive than the 85m currently equipped...

When Yang Du arrived at the test site, military officials were drooling at several experimental cannons, and they also caught the technician of the Zhengzhou factory in front of Yang Qiu, loudly complaining that the price was too expensive and demanding a significant reduction in costs. Yang Qiu knew that these words were deliberately said to himself, because the price of this cannon was actually slightly cheaper than that of the German 88 cannons, and because it was modified in drawings, the development cost was cheaper than that of Europe and the United States. It was said that the equipment was not affordable because the army had made way for national construction in recent years. Especially the army, the annual equipment purchase cost was only 50 million, while the total equipment cost of an armored brigade was as high as 18 million.

After seeing Yang Du, Yang Qiu finally had the opportunity to avoid the resentful military representatives and inquire about constitutional amendment.

Yang Du talked about the results of lobbying during this period. From the current perspective, there is no big problem with moving the capital. The areas north of the Yangtze River support the moving the capital, and there is no firm objection to the south of the Yangtze River. However, there are generally doubts about the constitutional amendment and the presidential system. Many members of parliament believe that it is very good now and there is no need to change, especially many ordinary members of parliament say that the status quo should be maintained. But there is no result. Members of parliament in the northeast and southwest have clearly expressed their support for the constitutional amendment, and those members of parliament in the northwest who are under military control have no objection. Zhan Tianyou and Zhang Taiyan, two people with important influence among students, expressed support, and the military also supported. The most important representatives of the trade union and peasant association are now Yang Qiu, who told them to go east and never go west. Only members of parliament in Central Plains and Jiangnan are afraid that the president's power is too great, so they still have doubts.

"Where is the Republican Party and the Democratic Party?" Yang Qiu asked.

Yang Du smiled bitterly: "Everyone doesn't agree, he doesn't even agree to move."

This is no surprise. The National Society dominates one. If the two companies can no longer show tough opposition, they may not even be considered an opposition party sooner or later. However, he can no longer wait. The ongoing National Society National Society National Congress has unanimously voted to pass the candidate for president of Li Yuanhong as another world president, helping him fulfill his wish to become the first president in the country to expire, so he only has only five years before he came to power. During Li Yuanhong's last term, he had to complete the constitutional amendment no matter what. If he waited for himself to come to power, he would be captured by the Republican and the Democratic Party who promised Song Jiaoren before his death. Breach of trust will not only affect his prestige, but also put the National Society in a crisis of integrity.

Yang Du also knew these thoughts and said: "The person the Democratic Party and the Republican Party fear the most is you. As long as you conflict with the president, they will definitely support the president in regaining their rights. When the time comes, our country and society will push it, and there will be no possibility of a comeback."

Thinking that he had just used the Nanyang Democratic Party to promote the Nanyang Chinese Autonomous Region plan not long ago, and now he is using their fear of his own mind to promote constitutional amendment, Yang Qiu couldn't help but lament the bad luck for the Democratic Party...
