Chapter 119: Phase 1 Plan Completed
"What happened?"
The man panted and said, "I don't know who published the news in the newspaper that officials of the Ministry of Finance misappropriated public funds, hoarded supplies, and took advantage of government decisions to make a fortune."
"Right now, students from National Central University are marching in the streets, chanting slogans. The crowd is almost reaching the Executive Yuan. The police don't dare to stop them, so they called us for help."
"The police station didn't dare to stop us, so they let us die. We look like scapegoats."
"You can ask them to go to the Central Bureau of Statistics to coordinate. Isn't the Central Bureau of Statistics nominally in charge of the education department? Can't you just ask Deputy Minister Duan to coordinate?"
How many fools are there in the officialdom? Those students are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and they are also the chosen ones of heaven. If you provoke them, they don’t care whether you are from the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission.
He still remembers vividly the May Fourth Movement that broke out in Peking twenty years ago. If the Military Control Commission had committed murder and arson, it would have been a heinous crime.
They set fire to Zhaojialou and beat to death the traitor Lu Zongxiang. That is called upholding justice and eliminating harm for the people. If you touch them, you are just bored.
The visitor was silent for a while, then said with a sad face: "Commander, I'm afraid it won't work. This time, Deputy Director Duan was the one who led the anti-Kong operation..."
"what……"
The excitement in the mountain city soon spread to Shanghai.
After learning from Song Jiayu that the Ministry of Finance was in a desperate situation, Chen Yang felt so happy.
Those people want to treat me like a pig and eat me up. They’re dreaming.
You can’t believe it, right? Not only can I turn into a wild boar, but I can also evolve into Marshal Tianpeng.
While feeling proud, Chen Yang was also a little worried.
The information I provided was unclear and vague, and I don’t know if it will cause dissatisfaction from Boss Dai.
However, Song Jiayu's answer surprised Chen Yang a little.
Not only did Zheng Jiemin not pursue the matter, he also sent him a commendation and told him to be careful to protect himself and never expose himself.
The party-state needs talents like him.
Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh that his fellow villagers were still good people.
Of course, he also knew that after Li Xianshu's disturbance, life in Shancheng would definitely be difficult.
In order to relieve his master's worries, Chen Yang was considering whether he should hand in the drawings of the Flying Thunder Cannon.
However, after thinking it over carefully, Chen Yang decided to wait.
Now the defeat in the Battle of Xuzhou is irreversible. The Flying Thunder Cannon is of little use at this time and cannot turn the tide.
However, in order to give Lao Zheng some bargaining chips, Chen Yang asked Song Jiayu to send back a message that the drawings of the flying thunder cannon were already under negotiation.
The other party demanded a payment of 100,000 oceans before they would hand over the design drawings.
One hundred thousand oceans was nothing to the Military Control Commission.
Zheng Jiemin wrote a report, but when it came time to allocate funds, the figure had become 500,000 oceans.
The time came to May 9th.
The defeat in the Battle of Xuzhou was irreversible.
The Itakura Division led by Itakura Seishirō and the division led by Japanese General Isogai Rensuke formed a siege on Xuzhou from the south and the north. If they successfully joined forces, the Gui army would be in great danger.
After much deliberation, the general reported to the headquarters, hoping to preserve the manpower and avoid meaningless resistance, and requested to lead the troops to withdraw from the Xuzhou battlefield and move to the rear.
After much consideration, the superiors finally agreed to Li Delin's request and allowed him to break out of the Japanese blockade.
On May 5, the main force of the Fifth War Zone moved westward, and on the 15th, Li and his headquarters were safely transferred.
After completing its covering mission, the 68th Army of the Nationalist garrison abandoned Xuzhou on the 19th, and the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to occupy Xuzhou.
After taking control of the main city of Xuzhou, the Japanese army quickly advanced westward along the Longhai Railway and occupied Kaifeng on June 6.
In order to stop the Japanese army from advancing westward, the Military Commission had no choice but to order the explosion of the Huayuankou ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, causing the Yellow River to burst its banks and change its course.
It was this decision that led to the "Huayuankou Massacre", one of the three major massacres during the War of Resistance Against Japan...
It was the rainy season in the south, and the water level of the Yellow River rose sharply. After the Huayuankou dike burst, the water spread downward, flooding Weishi, Tongxu, Chenliu, Kaifeng and other areas. The local Japanese troops and their armored equipment were all submerged by the flood.
The Japanese army was forced to change its original combat plan and retreat to the area east of the Yellow River flood area.
The consequences of this incident are extremely serious.
Due to the overflow of the Yellow River, the flood affected the three provinces of Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu, causing nearly 10 million Chinese people to be displaced and hundreds of thousands of people to die....
The Huayuankou incident, together with the anti-Kong incident planned by Li Xianshu, pushed the Nationalist government to the forefront for a time.
This also prompted the party and state elders who had been wavering to finally make up their minds and join the Japanese camp.
Japanese villa area.
After reading the telegram sent back by Minamida Yunko from the mountain city, Li Xianshu finally showed a long-lost kind smile on her face.
"Kuroda-kun, send a telegram to the mainland to report recent achievements."
"The first phase of the new government preparation plan has been successfully completed. The headquarters can now select appropriate military and political personnel for subsequent plans."
Kuroda Yusuke bowed and said, "Hi,"
Looking up, Kuroda Yusuke said, "Mrs. Yamamoto, isn't it time to put the merger plan of the Chinese Information Department on the agenda?"
"Terao-kun said that General Kagesa submitted plans to the cabinet three times in the past two months."
"Moreover, the senior officials of the Manchurian Railway and the Kwantung Army have also agreed to his plan application. Now, they are just waiting for your nod."
Li Xianshu frowned and said, "Since no one has any objection, what else can an old woman like me say?"
"It's just right. Please submit the latest plan for the longitudinal line as well."
"This?" Kuroda Yusuke couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Kuroda, do you have any questions?" Li Xianshu instantly noticed the change in Kuroda Yusuke's expression.
"Mrs. Yamamoto, I still think it's inappropriate to let a Chinese person be in charge of the transportation of supplies."
"Although there is nothing wrong with Chen Yang, he is not a citizen of the empire after all, and he is doing black market business..."
"Okay, I know what you want to say..." Li Xianshu waved her hand to interrupt Kuroda Yusuke's words.
"I have already made up my mind about this matter. Chen Yang is just a pawn."
"The difference is, I picked this chess piece."
"In fact, you should also know that after the new government is established, we need a Chinese to help us communicate with the new government. He is very suitable."
How can he be suitable? It's because he is your nephew.
Kuroda Yusuke's face was full of indignation.
It's no wonder that he had such an expression. He came from a poor family and worked diligently for more than 30 years to get the position of consul.
Just because Chen Yang is Li Xianshu's nephew, he can easily sit in the same position as him and become one of the persons in charge of the Longitudinal Line Project.
Then what is the point of his thirty years of hard work? Does it mean he is amazing?
Although he was dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it. Li Xianshu's decision was not something he could change.
After thinking for a while, Kuroda Yusuke said cautiously: "Madam, there is one more thing I don't know whether I should ask..."
