Chapter eight hundred and ninety-six impeachment proceedings
On Friday, March 2, 12th year of the Republic of China, the National Congress Hall of China, which can accommodate 1,300 people outside Chongyang Gate in Beijing, was filled with people, including parliamentarians, gentry, representatives of foreign ambassadors, and celebrities. Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang were also among the elders of Beiyang. People kept coming to greet seniors with their fists and bow to them, and even the corridors were filled with reporters. Everyone competed to exchange their experiences and news. This was a rare gathering, a rare public congress, and a grand-scale congress that attracted worldwide attention, because the main content of this congressional meeting was to impeach Wang Maoru, who was known as the nine-tailed fox, and the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces.
As the initiator of impeachment, Liao Zhongkai, the deputy director of the Republic of China, was the impeachment initiated by Liao Zhongkai in the House of Representatives as a member of parliament. The Congressional impeachment bill clearly stipulates that the Senate only has the power to impeach the president and the prime minister, and the House of Representatives has the power to impeach other officials. In addition to the members of the Senate, members of the Senate can also impeach as members of the Congress in the House of Representatives, but the Senate does not have the power to vote to determine whether the impeachment is effective. In other words, now Liao Zhongkai can only hope that his words can impress them - or to cause some trouble for Wang Maoru.
This impeachment attracted not only Chinese journalists, but even foreign journalists came to listen. The two hundred and seventy press seats were seated with major media reporters or representatives from various countries. Because time was tight, foreign media had to entrust other Chinese journalists to listen to their seats.
The reason why this impeachment attracted so much attention is that the target of this impeachment is China's Defense Chief, a soldier with one million troops and three million reserves, and is known as the Washington, China. The reason for his impeachment is that he recovered 2.8 million square kilometers of land for his motherland and won the Soviet Union to abandon all Russian unequal treaties with China, which aroused dissatisfaction among the international community. However, governments of various countries did not expect that such a drastic change occurred within the Chinese government. They intended to force China to surrender and guarantee their interests. Unexpectedly, someone in China would impeach a national hero.
Sometimes, politics is a farce. The actors are crazy people and the audience are fools. The impeachment of Wang Maoru requires both madmen and fools to watch.
The time is 8:00 a.m., and the impeachment time starts at 9:00. I don’t know the end time. Maybe the end time can last for several days. There are six impeachment procedures. The first procedure is the content of the impeachment announcement by the Speaker of the House of Representatives Liu Engel and the introduction of the impeachment parties. The second procedure is the statement of the impeachment party to the 441 members of the House of Representatives. The third procedure is the statement of the impeacher Wang Maoru, the fourth procedure is the rebuttal of the impeachment party to the impeachment statement, the fifth procedure is the rebuttal of the impeachment party to the impeachment party, the sixth procedure is the vote of the House of Representatives members on the impeachment. The seventh procedure is the president of the House of Representatives announced the results of the House of Representatives’ vote on the impeachment.
Wang Maoru has not arrived yet, but the Congress has already been in full swing, inquiring about news from each other and testing their attitudes, and one by one, he has performed an official appearance.
While the congressmen and reporters were communicating information with each other, the American Mississippi Weekly reporter George Blatt Smith held a notebook and a camera in his hand, and hesitated in his heart. He didn't know whether he should take a photo or record it. He looked at the left and right sides. There was an Asian man about 1.5 meters on the left. He kept Rendanhu and bent down to salute him when he saw someone. It was Japanese. Japan was very enthusiastic and polite, but this guy didn't know English at all, but he knew a lot of Chinese. Smith really wanted to communicate with people, but the Japanese reporter didn't seem to want to talk to him. Smith talked to him for a few minutes. The Japanese just smiled and nodded without answering. This made Smith very depressed. Japan was like this. They would not refuse, but they would not cooperate.
The bored reporter Smith looked at the right. This was also a yellow man, less than 1.7 meters tall, but he looked neither humble nor arrogant. He tried to say in English: "Hello, I am George Blatt Smith, a reporter from Mississippi Weekly."
"Shao Piaoping, editor-in-chief of the Beijing News." Although this person's English is not fluent, he seems to be willing to communicate with him.
Smith has been interviewing news in China. The last time Wang Maoru published the 99th National Declaration, he was in Xi'an, witnessing the fanatical Chinese people with his own eyes, and wrote the article back to the country, causing a great sensation. The editor-in-chief of "Mississippi Weekly" asked him to stay in China, interviewing China's strange stories and what he saw and heard, as music for Americans, so Smith wrote a special issue called "Mr. Smith in China", which was published once a week, and it won some of the sought after.
Because Smith has been in China for three years, he has slowly learned a lot of Chinese and can understand the speeches of the Chinese people and understand their meanings. Therefore, reporters Smith are more familiar with China. The editor-in-chief of Mississippi Weekly believes that the most important impeachment in China this time is related to the international direction, especially the degree of recognition of the Bolshevik Party and the direction of China's government, and requires him to conduct an interview with him with great strength.
Smith tried to say in Chinese again: "Can you talk?"
"Yes." reporter Shao smiled and then teased: "Your Chinese accent has a northwest flavor, and in our Chinese dialect, it has a jealousy smell."
Smith laughed and said, "You are right. Actually, I have lived in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, China for a year."
"I know you, "Mr. Smith in China", I have read your article." Reporter Shao smiled.
"Thank you," Smith asked, "As a Chinese, what do you think about the impeachment of the Marshal."
Reporter Shao said: "My idea is very simple. It is a matter for politicians, not among the people. We just need to look at them." He cleverly concealed what he thought in his heart and asked: "I am more curious about what you Americans think? First of all, as an American, what do you think about this impeachment incident? I am talking about the Americans, not your reporter's point of view."
Smith thought about it and said seriously: "If the Marshal is in the United States, he is an American hero. No one will impeach him because he brings benefits to the country. The United States is a country that worships heroes, a patriotic country, and a country that respects people who contribute to the country. So, this thing will not happen in the United States. As an American, my view is that this impeachment is absurd. But as you said, this is not the United States, this is China, this is the officialdom of China, and now the people who are impeached are politicians. God knows what politicians think in their minds, why do they need to impeach? I haven't figured it out yet. Is it a fool who impeached him a parliamentarian? His reason for impeachment is completely untenable."
Reporter Shao smiled and said, "Mr. Smith, do you think this impeachment is really just an impeachment? Wrong, this is a party fight."
"I know that China has four ruling parties, one of which is the main party and three auxiliary parties, but the main party is not strong, and two of the three auxiliary parties are the Marshal's former biggest supporters," Smith said.
"No, it's not that he has always supported the Grand Marshal Shangwu." reporter Shao said, "The purpose of the main party impeaching Grand Marshal Shangwu is nothing more than to suppress these two auxiliary parties."
Smith smiled and said, "Your analysis is surprisingly consistent with mine, which shows that our understanding is correct. I'm so glad someone can understand my thoughts. Since we are like this... In the words of you Chinese, it's so 'likely'. Why don't we cooperate with this report this time? If there are omissions to complement each other, what do you think? This damn person only allows a newspaper to join the request of a reporter, and my two assistants can only be frozen outside."
"I'm just thinking that reporter Smith is worthy of being an American, and his brain just turns fast." Reporter Shao smiled.
"That's great, so I can take a few more photos, and then I'll use the pictures for you if you need them."
"That's great. I'm worried about bringing the camera in." Reporter Shao said, and when he saw the flashlight at the door suddenly flashed, he hurriedly said: "The Grand Marshal Shangwu is here."
Wang Maoru walked in in a military uniform. The black Weapon Weapon woolen slim uniform perfectly reflected his figure. The Weapon general uniform was clean and neat, solemn and majestic black jacket, with a pure white shirt inside and a blue tie, which was very handsome and imposing. The brown belt around the waist, and the cowhide pistol box in front of the right side of the belt, and the silver gun handle was radiant. Look at the feet, a pair of black long military boots were spotless and lit up, as if they were a black mirror.
There was a faint smile on his face, and there were two young men standing on both sides of the left and right sides. The literati in suits was the secretary Chen Bulei, and the military officer in military uniform was the acting deputy chief Gaokong. Both of them looked 27 or 28 years old, with high fighting spirit on their faces, which made Wang Mao feel so confident.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time." Wang Maoru smiled after saluting everyone.
"It seems... there is a good show today." Reporter Shao said.
Smith asked, “Why do you say that?”
"Look at the waist of the Grand Marshal Shangwu."
"how?"
"That's a gun." reporter Shao smiled bitterly, "Do you know what this means to bring a gun into Congress?"
Smith nodded and said, "Does he want to use force to fight impeachment? Or even disband Congress?"
Reporter Shao spread his hands and said helplessly: "Duan Qirui did this, alas... Chinese soldiers have always been like this. It seems that the Marshal Shangwu is no exception. If the Congress is disbanded today, I think a civil war will break out tomorrow."
