Chapter Fifty-Six Is Different

  Zhang Long was the most enthusiastic about fighting, he interrupted Zhou Yu and Rong Guang's conversation and said: This is going to be a big battle, this time I must not be forgotten! Dear principal, teacher comrades.

  Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Long, who had a worried expression, and said: This operation is not suitable for your Marine Corps, mainly with field troops and Liu Chengliang's special forces participating. As for you, just wait for the next opportunity!

  Liu Chengliang looked at Zhang Long with a satisfied expression, who had a resentful wife-like face, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

  Zhou Yu ignored Zhang Long's pleading eyes and turned to Liu Ming, saying: Taiwan is now basically on the right track, with development as its main focus. However, you must remain highly vigilant towards the Qing dynasty and take strict confidentiality measures to prevent alarming the Qing government.

  Don't worry, Principal. We've always been very careful about this. I don't want the Qing government to have any suspicions about Taiwan either. Please rest assured that we will complete our task outstandingly!

  Well! Alright... That's it then! I'm here to wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year in advance!

  Everyone saw Zhou Yu and had already been ordered to withdraw, so they all stood up and bid farewell.

  They all thought that after Zhou Yu hurriedly drove them away, what kind of indecent things would happen next! Because a beautiful woman suddenly came to Zhou Yu's house, everyone had some dirty thoughts!

  Zhang Long left Zhou Yu's villa with a heart full of grievances and resentment.

  The next day, he and Liu Chengliang returned to the North Vietnamese Liujiacun, through organizational contact, Zhang Long presided over a separate meeting of high-ranking officers of the Zhongyong Army.

  The main topic of the meeting was the formation of a political party.

  The vast majority of mid-to-low-level officials under the stage did not know what it meant, so they picked up the materials in front of them and flipped through them to find that they were specific materials for establishing a loyal and brave army, the "Tongren Party", with the goal of defending China and supporting Zhou Yu.

  In fact, Zhang Long had successfully established the "Tongren Party" with the party platform of protecting the country and upholding Zhou Yu in Hawaii shortly after the Coco Island operation.

  In the previous defense war in Taiwan, Zhang Longcai, who was in Hawaii at that time, had the opportunity to return and successfully held a "Tongren Party" conference with Liu Chengliang in Taiwan.

  Now, within the Taiwanese and Hawaiian armies, almost all of the Zhongyong Army officers have sworn to join the 'Tongren Party', with the exception being mainly the Fujian Navy personnel. Zhang Long and Liu Chengliang are afraid that the vast number of Fujian Navy personnel have just joined the Zhongyong Army and have not yet stabilized, so they want to wait for a period of time to observe the effect.

  In addition, some of the commanders of small and medium-sized military bases in Qing Dynasty and Arab regions also passed through wireless telegraphy to confirm that they would swear allegiance to the 'Tongren Party' after they returned from their rotation.

  Liu Yongfu and Yang Aijun, high-ranking generals of the Black Flag Army, had received advance notice and agreed.

  Inside the new conference hall of Liu Jia Zhai Huangpu Military School, it was a full house. The current Huangpu Military School Liu Jia Zhai headquarters has been completely renovated. Since Zhou Yu brought back the first batch of funds from the US to Vietnam, the old street, the main base of the Zhongyong Army in northern Vietnam, began its new construction.

  Liu Yongfu and his men greatly expanded and rebuilt the humble schools, military academies, and factories of the past. The Huangpu Military Academy in Liujiachang, as the cradle of Zhongyong Army officers, naturally received extreme attention from the high-level officials of the Zhongyong Army.

  The current scale of the Whampoa Military Academy is quite large, divided into classes such as junior officer advanced training class, middle-level officer construction class, senior officer further education class and short-term officer crash course class.

  The school's teachers are basically hired foreign military talents, and the high-level military talents trained by Zhou Yu in the early days. The teaching materials used are also military books and military theories provided by Zhou Yu. Occasionally, when Zhou Yu is free, he will still come to give classes to the military officers after all, Zhou Yu is the principal of Huangpu Military Academy!

  Zhang Long stepped onto the stage, loudly interrupting the low murmurs of discussion.

  I believe everyone already knows the general situation, now I will explain the purpose of our founding of the Zhongyong Army 'Tongren Party'.

  The general program of our Huaxia Zhongyong Army 'Tongren Party' is: Our 'Tongren Party' is the vanguard of the Huaxia working class, and at the same time, it is the vanguard of the Huaxia people and the Huaxia nation. It is the leading core of the Huaxia national liberation cause, representing the development requirements of advanced productive forces in Huaxia, representing the forward direction of advanced culture in Huaxia, and representing the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Huaxia people. The party's highest ideal and ultimate goal are to achieve a great unity of the divine state.

  We must resolutely support our principal Zhou Yu, become the only military leader of China, national leader and the highest spiritual leader of our party.

  Under the guidance of Zhou Yu's advanced revolutionary ideology, our Huaxia Zhongyong Army will lead people of all ethnic groups across the country to launch a revolutionary struggle against the anti-Manchu bureaucratic feudalism and resist the invasion of world capitalism.

  We must strive to achieve the victory of the New Democratic Revolution as soon as possible, and establish a Chinese Divine Dynasty where the Hua Xia nation is the master; after the founding of the country, adhere to the social democratic reform, resolutely complete the transition from the new democracy to the Great Harmony Society of Hua Xia, establish the basic system of our Chinese Divine Dynasty, and develop the economy, politics and culture of the empire.

  In front of all the materials, including the basic conditions for party members, the organizational system of the party, the party's organizations at all levels, the party's cadres, the party's discipline, disciplinary inspection organs, and the party emblem and flag.

  The specific content you can refer to the relevant materials in front of you, I won't elaborate on it here. What I want to emphasize is that our 'Tongren Party' treats every brother who joins the party with a voluntary nature.

  But once you have sworn to join our party, you must resolutely follow the party's discipline and require yourself, and also when dealing with your subordinates, you should mainly propagate and not force brothers who are unwilling to join the party. Once a similar situation is discovered, the Party Discipline Committee will severely punish those responsible.

  Most of you comrades present here have more experience and seniority than me, Zhang Long. I and Liu Chengliang are just ordinary party members like everyone else, there is no special privilege.

  Now we can proceed with the formal agenda, swearing in new party members and electing the party's leadership.

  The materials in front of you include the party membership application form and specific details, as well as a ballot for the anonymous election of leaders. Please take these two items seriously, as they relate to your right to vote and be elected.

  Then let's get started now! Zhang Long said and walked down from the stage, found a seat for himself and began to fill out the form in front of him seriously.

  After a tense and orderly bustle, everyone has basically filled out their own information and ballots.

  Then everyone solemnly swore an oath in front of the party flag and joined the "Tongren Party" of Huaxia, and each member who joined received a "Tongren Party" emblem.

  The party flag of the "Tongren Party" is a red background with a golden giant dragon pattern, and the party emblem is a white background with a golden giant dragon pattern. All military officers joined the Huaxia "Tongren Party", becoming the backbone members of the party.

  Zhou Yu was unanimously elected as the leader of the 'Tongren Party' in absentia.

  Other loyal and brave military backbone members also have their respective positions.

  After everyone had dispersed, Liu Cheng asked Zhang Long curiously:

  What made you think of starting a party in the first place?

  Hehe... Don't think that I'm just fooling around all day without any substance, being by the teacher's side for so many years, I've already learned a lot of knowledge.

  A year ago, I found that our school's military training team had factions. At that time, I asked the principal, and the principal told me: To make an army have a soul and thought, it is not enough to rely solely on self-awareness, but also need to have unified ideological awareness, and have the spirit of sacrifice for the collective good.

  In order to unify the political ideology of the troops, there must be a strict organization to implement it.

  At that time, I had the idea of establishing a political party for my Huaxia Zhongyong Army. After that, I inquired about a large number of legal talents in Hawaii and secretly read some organizational books given by teachers to Sun Yat-sen.

  Also drawing on Huang Feihong's Nationalist Party charter, they racked their brains to come up with all the materials for the "Tongren Party".

  How's this... you've finally realized the gap between us now, huh! Hahaha...

  This time you've done something really good, but don't be too proud of yourself, you're still clinging to the teacher's glory!

  In this matter, you and I have a significant gap, don't be proud of it, I will work hard to catch up with you.

  Does your teacher know about you forming a party?

  Hehe... the old man doesn't know yet! But I don't want to let the teacher know either. My main concern is that some new recruits in our Zhongyong Army don't understand the teacher deeply enough and aren't respectful enough, so I'm trying to get them to learn from the teacher's revolutionary spirit by establishing a party faction.

  Don't think that I'm idle all day by the teacher's side, actually I've compiled all of the teacher's usual thoughts into a book, which I've named "The Collected Sayings of Zhou Yu".

  Haha, how's that? I'm quite brilliant, aren't I? Saying so with a complacent and arrogant expression.

  Do you have it on you now? Give me a copy to take a look! I won't compete with your teacher's little aunt, just see how magnanimous I am!

  Don't be delusional! I've already found out that our teacher's wife is the youngest daughter of Hu Xueyan, and all his other daughters are married. You have no hope of becoming brothers-in-law with the teacher!

  Buying cake... How can Teacher be so decisive! Can't you find a teacher's wife with an unmarried sister! Heaven and earth, I'm Liu Chengliang, elegant and refined like Pan An, but why is my fate so bitter!

  Haha... don't be arrogant anymore! Be like me, open your eyes wide and work hard to find your other half! Looking at Liu Chengliang standing there, raising his hands to the sky with a silly expression. Zhang Long was genuinely excited, it's great to have people of the same kind!
