The subsequent development of the situation was similar to Sheng Youde's prediction. The League of Nations issued a soft statement, asking China and Japan to exercise restraint and not to expand the conflict. It said that it would set up an investigation team to investigate Northeast China.
After the September 18th Incident, the student movement showed no signs of subduing. Large-scale student movements broke out in Nanjing, Peking, and Shanghai one after another. Students went directly to the Nanjing Presidential Palace to petition.
Chairman Chiang met with the petitioning students three times and stated his policy towards Japan. The central government's non-resistance policy was based on three points: first, to prevent the Japanese army from finding an excuse to expand their aggression; second, to gain time for war preparations; and third, to wait and see changes in the international situation.
However, students believe that the central government is implementing a traitorous policy, and the nationwide student movement still has a tendency to expand further. Students from other places also come to Nanjing to support the movement.
So Chairman Chiang publicly stated: "If there are any violations of revolutionary disciplines or disorder in the country in the future, the government should fulfill its duties and stop them."
This is tantamount to explicitly authorizing local governments to suppress student movements at any time.
Three months later, the Marshal ordered all Northeastern troops to withdraw from the Northeast, and the entire Northeast fell.
On December 15, 1931, in the midst of the student movement, Chairman Chiang was forced to resign.
Opinions within the National Government are also inconsistent, with various arguments being expressed. The peace-promoting faction and the pro-war faction have different opinions, and the voices and actions issued by the central government are also in the opposite direction.
However, among the white mountains and black waters, in the vast land of Northeast China, the flames of anti-Japanese war are still burning, and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces are fighting unyieldingly.
Stimulated by the news of the fall of Northeast China, Lu Ming was in a very depressed mood these days. That evening, Huang Yanning came to visit, and the two of them planned to go out for a drink.
Without walking far, they asked for a private room at the nearby Badawan, and the two of them started drinking.
"Master Lu, I would like to invite you to join a club. Are you interested?" Huang Yanning said after taking a sip of wine.
"Social organizations? I have no interest in this." Lu Ming shook his head.
He is now an official member of the Shanghai press corps of the International News Agency. Because of the war in the Northeast, the press corps has more gatherings and is very busy. He can't even take care of the Sheng family's affairs, and he has no interest in joining other societies.
"Master Lu, don't refuse yet, listen to me what kind of organization this is." Huang Yanning said with a smile.
"Okay, tell me." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Several of us like-minded comrades gathered together and wanted to set up an organization. This organization is called Blue Clothes Society." Huang Yanning said.
"Blue Clothes Club? Does it mean that all members of the organization wear blue clothes?" Lu Ming laughed.
"No, it's just a symbol." Huang Yanning was a little embarrassed when Lu Ming laughed.
Lu Ming also took a sip of wine and didn't care what Huang Yanning said. He wanted to relax today.
"We want to establish an organization after the German Brown Shirt Party. The purpose of this organization is to be infinitely loyal to the leader and to the government, and to strive to establish a leader, a government, and a doctrine system in China." Huang Yanning said seriously.
.
"Isn't this what the National Socialist Party of Germany stands for?" Lu Ming couldn't help but became speechless. In the United States, he had heard that Germany was in serious trouble.
"Absolutely, but we have our own ideas." Huang Yanning thought for a while and said.
"Actually, they are fascists." Lu Ming raised his head and drank another glass of wine.
"Well, it can be understood this way. A few of us believe that the reason why the National Revolution failed to achieve full success is because of the current polyarchy. The central government's instructions cannot be passed throughout the country. Each of the new warlords in various places has an idea and serves the interests of small groups.
, resorting to violent warfare at every turn, causing the whole country to fall apart like a pile of loose sand." Huang Yanning sighed.
"Well, keep talking." Lu Ming had long been tired of the warlords' melee, so he nodded.
Although he did not agree with fascism and was even more disgusted with the Nazi party, Huang Yanning's analysis of China's current situation aroused his interest.
"Now that Japan has occupied Northeast China and the country is in crisis, a few of us, mainly initiated by my Huangpu senior student Deng Wenyi, are preparing to establish this community organization. Other founders include He Zhonghan, Gui Yongqing, Kang Ze, Zeng Kuangqing and others.
, they also invited me." Huang Yanning said with some pride, obviously feeling that it was an honor to be invited to join this organization.
"Is this a social organization or the SS?" Lu Ming was a little confused.
"It's just a community organization at the moment. It's hard to say what it will develop into in the future." Huang Yanning said truthfully.
"Then why did you invite me to join? I'm not a member of your party." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Actually, it's not me who invites you to join. It's Deng Wenyi and Kang Ze who asked me to convey this invitation to you." Huang Yanning explained.
"What is the main mission of this association, and does it have anything to do with the anti-Japanese war?" Lu Ming's mind is now full of anti-Japanese war, and he never strays away from the anti-Japanese war.
"Master Lu, resisting Japan is of course one of the important tasks of the organization. This club is composed of young elites, and ordinary people cannot get this honor. In fact, the person they really want to invite is you, and I was invited by the way." Huang Yanning
be honest.
Huang Yanning believed that Lu Ming would definitely agree to join this organization, because he could also see that since the outbreak of the Northeast War, Lu Ming had fallen into pain and confusion. He wanted to serve the country, but could not find the direction.
The so-called emergency medical treatment, joining the Blue Clothes Club at this time can be regarded as a way to serve the country.
Once Lu Ming joined, Deng Wenyi, Kang Ze and others would definitely tell him the truth, so Huang Yanning simply revealed the truth and told Lu Ming directly that this was an invitation from Deng Wenyi.
Lu Ming heard Huang Yanning talk about Deng Wenyi. This senior brother of Huangpu Phase I was a close minister and currently served as the attendant secretary of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
"Master Lu, what we want to establish is a youth community organization, not a party organization. What we care about is people. Very outstanding people will receive special invitations." Huang Yanning explained.
"Oh, I have to think about this." Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
In fact, the idea of one government, one leader, and one doctrine can be said to be standard fascism, which is exactly the same as the idea of the German National Socialist Party (Nazi).
But at the time, people didn't know enough about fascism, and most people didn't know what kind of party organization it was.
Lu Ming does not agree with the ideas of fascism or Nazis, but he feels that China does need a strong central government that can eradicate separatist forces in various provinces and regions and unite the forces of all parties.
Only when the central government's decrees are clear and a strong political and economic system is established can the country be strong and prosperous and the people be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
Of course, it would be ideal to have a leader who is deeply supported by the people and represents the will of the people. He can raise his arms and unite as one.
From this perspective, the three-in-one proposition of one leader, one government, and one doctrine is in line with China's national conditions. A loose federal system like the United States is definitely not suitable for China's national conditions.
After all, China is a country with a civilization of 5,000 years, while the United States is a country of immigrants that has only been immigrating for more than 100 years. The national conditions of the two countries are very different.
"Master Lu, what are you still hesitating about? Let me tell you, there are many elites in the party and the military who want to join, but now is the founding stage. Deng Wenyi believes that it is better to have less than too much, so he is very cautious in choosing the members of the organization. Aren't you always
Are you looking for a way to serve the country? This is just right." Huang Yanning said anxiously.
Huang Yanning was worried that if Lu Ming did not agree, Deng Wenyi, Kang Ze and others would not invite him to join. He was obviously placed on the periphery of the list and was not a natural candidate.
Huang Yanning took out a small handwritten notebook and handed it to Lu Ming and said, "I have written it all down, please take a look."
Lu Ming read it over and saw that the program and purpose of the Blue Clothes Club were written on it. However, the Blue Clothes Club was only a name for its internal members, and its official name to the outside world was more lofty: the Chinese National Renaissance Society.
The basic purpose of the Fuxing Society is to strengthen the authority of the leader. Members must be sincerely united, unified in will, strict in discipline, clear in responsibilities, and quick in action. Under the leadership of the leader, they must eradicate dissidents, eliminate corruption, awaken the people, and resist foreign enemies.
"Adjutant Huang, why do I feel that this Fuxing Society is an organization that is both SS and espionage?"
"Really? I really haven't thought about it. Are you overthinking it?" Huang Yanning said in surprise.
