Chapter 283 Wealth and Honor Are Here Today
"What could happen to the Cao Gang?" Lu Qiaoshan asked curiously.
"We just received news that the news of the Cao Gang smuggling opium with us has been leaked. Several newspapers in Jinhai have published it. The city is very lively now." Anderson said.
“When I arrived, the morning paper had not yet been published.
"Reporting it at this time... that's a good move."
Lu Qiaoshan's eyes darkened and he began to ponder.
“It is very likely that students will use this as an excuse to cause trouble.
"You are an expert in this area. The general asked you to go back immediately and suppress this matter."
Anderson ordered arrogantly.
"Don't worry, it's just a few slogans."
Lu Qiaoshan wanted to take this opportunity to take down these foreign devils.
The opium trade has nothing to do with him anyway.
If you want to suppress the demonstration yourself, don’t you have to pay some benefits?
“Well, there’s no rush.
"If the general is dismissed, you'll have to ask God for your arms." Anderson smiled and nodded cooperatively.
"Long Er and Lin Sufang, these two idiots!"
Lu Qiaoshan's smile froze, and after swearing, he dared not stay any longer and hurried out.
“This Lu is not a gentleman, he always tries to take advantage of others.
“He is far worse than Hong.
“Hong had never won any money from me, but he won $500 from me.
"If Hong hadn't refused to resell opium, I definitely wouldn't have been friends with such shit."
Filson looked at Lu Qiaoshan's back and started cursing.
"Yes.
"Among the people we work with, Hong is always the most trustworthy friend." Anderson nodded in agreement.
"It doesn't matter.
“Getting rich is important.
“Anderson.
"You mobilize a group of soldiers to protect Miss Lin.
“If Miss Lin is captured by their people and this matter becomes a big deal, it will be very disadvantageous to us.
"The President has decided to move the Department of Defense into the Pentagon.
"I don't want to be the first unlucky guy to be tried in the Pentagon!"
Filson frowned while holding a cigar in his mouth.
“General.
"If it really doesn't work, let's just hand Miss Lin over and find two scapegoats for us and say that you had no knowledge of this matter." Anderson suggested.
“NO.
“The opium trade cannot stop.
“Ms. Lin and the Cao Gang must be saved.
"There is no faster way to make money than this. As long as we hold on and hold on, and do a few more deals, we can go back to America directly.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we could buy two big fishing boats, call a group of beauties, and enjoy the tenderness of the sea?" Filson was used to making quick money, so naturally he was unwilling to give up this piece of fat meat.
"Yes, sir."
Anderson sighed to himself.
Hey.
Fersen still doesn't understand the essence of Eastern culture.
In everything, you must know how to advance and retreat.
Just accept it as soon as you see fit.
If you don't let go even at this point, you'll probably die.
Fortunately, he can "play both sides" and leave a way out with Hong.
Thinking of this, he took the opportunity to mobilize troops and left the barracks by car. He quickly came to a small hotel and picked up the phone:
"flood.
"Felson gave me an order to send someone to protect Lin Sufang.
“What do I need to do?
“Nothing to do?
"But...but I want to do something for you. You know, we are good brothers...
"OK, I get it."
……
Jinhai Station.
Li Ya walked quickly into the stationmaster's office: "Stationmaster, have you read today's morning paper?"
“I saw it.
"The Americans are determined to destroy China.
"They are reselling opium from Afghanistan and dumping it on our people. What's the difference between their actions and those of the Eight-Nation Alliance back then?" Wu Jingzhong rebuked coldly.
"Yes.
"These damn guys are riding on our heads and bullying us, and they are doing such shameless things.
"It's time to eradicate the legacy of the Cao Gang.
"Stationmaster, I would like to volunteer to catch these scum."
After ten years of ups and downs, Li Ya's passion for serving the country remains as strong as ever.
"Not urgent.
"Let the wind blow a little more. When the situation gets bigger and national opinion is mobilized, the chairman will have to ask Truman for an explanation.
"Besides, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. If you rush forward now, won't you be making enemies with the Americans?
“Don’t forget, they claimed to be maintaining law and order in Qingdao, but they beat many of our people to death.
“These people will not pay for their murder.
"You can't even afford to offend the chairman. Just stand back and wait and see."
Wu Jingzhong frowned and tapped his chest.
Li Ya felt warm in his heart and said gratefully: "Thank you for the advice, teacher."
He gave a bitter smile and said, "The Japanese left and the Americans came. Our land is really in trouble.
“I don’t know when the chairman will be able to return to a pure land.
“I wish there would be a day when I could have sex with an American.
“I’ll be the first one to rush up!”
"Haha, just wait, that day will come." Wu Jingzhong smiled.
As he was speaking, Lu Qiaoshan walked in.
"Captain Li is here too." He adjusted his glasses and said with a smile.
"Webmaster, then you guys start chatting?" Li Ya glanced at Lu coldly and prepared to leave.
"Why.
"What are you going to do?
"If it's about the student march, we can talk about it together," said Wu Jingzhong.
"Okay, let's have one.
"Stationmaster, you know that we are currently at war with the Red Bank. If the news of the Americans and the Cao Gang dumping opium gets out, it will be bad for military aid.
"In my opinion, it is better to take measures as soon as possible before the stench spreads to other areas."
Land bridge mountain road.
"Director Lu, do you have any good ideas?" Li Ya asked, rolling his eyes.
“Of course there is.
"Don't forget that Director Lu is Deputy Minister Zheng's favorite student. I read Director Zheng's white paper again today, and there is some real stuff in it." Wu Jingzhong said with a smile.
When the white paper was mentioned, Lu Qiaoshan felt a sharp pain in his chest and his face turned pale.
“It’s not a high opinion.
“I have two suggestions. First, take control of the newspaper and use this opportunity to rectify Jinhai’s public opinion front.
“Second: The Cao Gang must be preserved at all costs.
“To protect the Cao Gang is to protect the U.S. military.
"Only in this way can we avoid affecting the chairman's overall goal of suppressing votes."
Lu Qiaoshan took a deep breath and spoke while enduring the pain.
"Director Lu has really devoted all his energy to the party and the country." Li Ya sneered.
Lu Qiaoshan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled without saying a word.
"Qiaoshan has made some thoughtful considerations. How about this? It would be more deterrent to dispatch the army to deal with the students. You send people from the security command and just report the details to Commander Chen." Wu Jingzhong said with a smile.
"No, aren't you going to send someone from the station?" Lu Qiaoshan was stunned.
He wanted to send someone from the Secret Service so that if something went wrong, Wu Jingzhong could at least share some of the blame. He didn't expect that this old fox would not fall into the trap at all.
"Captain Li, do you have any more manpower?" Wu Jingzhong did not refuse and kicked the ball to Li Ya.
Li Ya glanced at Lu Qiaoshan, sucked his cheek, and said in a meaningless way: "Stationmaster, you also know that after the reform, the establishment has been greatly reduced. I even cancelled the branch of the three departments in Beiping.
“Now some of them are going to catch military corruption.
“The remaining hands have to keep an eye on the underground printing points and transportation stations for the red tickets.
"I really have no one left."
"No way, when I first came, I saw Mi Zhiguo and Song Fei smoking and sitting downstairs." Lu Qiaoshan said unhappily.
"Director Lu, if you really need them, you can transfer them as long as they are willing to listen to you." Li Ya raised his shoulders and smiled.
“Qiaoshan, let’s investigate from the Inspection Department.
"For such a big event, the station must follow procedures. By the time the report reaches Director Mao, the students may have destroyed the Cao Gang." Wu Jingzhong said.
"Okay, then I'll ask the inspection team for someone."
Lu Qiaoshan nodded and walked out quickly.
come back to the office.
He picked up the phone and wanted to report to Zheng Jieming.
He stopped halfway through dialing the number.
After putting the receiver back, he paced around the room with his hands behind his back.
Why is Hong Zhiyou so awesome?
Isn't it because of the appreciation of the Americans that he is qualified to transport military supplies for the Chairman and the commanders of various war zones?
Zheng Jieming and his wife are too greedy.
Lu Qiaoshan doesn't want to be a lackey or a tool, he wants to be like Hong Zhiyou and "kill everyone".
Selling arms has proved that Hong Zhiyou's path to wealth and success is correct and reliable.
If you copy the homework yourself, you will definitely succeed.
So... we must suppress the march, save face in front of the Americans, and completely become their "friend" and "brother".
Thinking of this, Lu Qiaoshan decided to independently command the suppression of this riot.
Whether you can be rich and prosperous for life depends on today.
He picked up his briefcase and walked downstairs in a hurry.
"Brother Shan, is there another meeting?"
Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng came back from shopping, carrying a big bag of fruits and asked.
"Cao...Nothing, Xiaohong, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Lu Qiaoshan was about to say something, but then felt it was inappropriate, so he waved his hand and walked away quickly.
"Old Lu has been in high spirits recently. He must have found a big deal." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"How do you know?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Didn't you hear him call you Xiao Hong?
"As soon as this number is called, he will definitely become arrogant again. He won't be able to get promoted in a short time. The only thing left for him is to make money." Yu Zecheng said as he walked.
"It seems to make sense." Hong Zhiyou shrugged and did not comment.
"Old Lu must have gone to the Cao Gang to impose martial law. I guess Li Ya will have to give him a hard time. What do you think?" Yu Zecheng looked around and said softly.
"Li Ya developed a group of informants in Guo Youliang's student branch.
“These people have been to political school.
“If there are to be those who develop into the reserve force of the Three Youth League or the Bureau of Secret Affairs, their files must be archived in the station.
"Go to the confidential office and check the files. Send them to me if you find them." "Let Old Lu cut a few of them for fun."
……
office.
As soon as Lu Qiaoshan left, Li Ya looked at Wu Jingzhong: "Teacher, do you think I should find something for Lu Qiaoshan to do?"
"Looking for trouble?" Wu Jingzhong's eyes narrowed and he put down the newspaper in his hand.
"Didn't we send a group of students to the cadre school last time?
"Comrade Jianfeng meant that the Youth League branch had to recruit some fresh blood, so this was a good opportunity to test their quality, and it would also help them infiltrate the Red Ticket Student Branch.
"It will be useful in the future."
Li Ya thought for a while and said.
“It’s a good idea to blend into the student branch.
"But you don't need to tell me about the Three Youths Group."
Wu Jingzhong is sensitive and vigilant when it comes to politics.
“You are my teacher and leader.
“Another old classmate whom Comrade Jianfeng trusts.
"He has told me that he wants to learn more from you and follow your orders. He also wants to borrow your wisdom to help him check things out."
Li Ya said.
"is it?
"Let me ask."
Wu Jingzhong was afraid that Li Ya would play some tricks and make him take the blame, so he stood up, picked up the phone and dialed the number:
"Tianhai Station Chief Wu Jingzhong, meet at the headquarters' residence No. 2."
After the call was connected, Wu Jingzhong said respectfully:
"Shangfeng, I'm Jingzhong.
"It's like this, Li Ya said there is a group of students from the cadre school...
"Okay, got it.
"Goodbye, old classmates."
He never mentioned the Americans and the Cao Gang's dumping of opium.
1. Li Ya may have reported to Jianfeng.
Second, if there was no report, Jianfeng was not his direct superior and there was no need to report to him.
Third, he wanted to watch the performances of Lu Qiaoshan and Li Ya.
If this matter is not made a big deal, Hong Zhi will not be able to continue his performance.
It won’t be too late to report to Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng once the matter becomes a big deal.
"Jianfeng means that you can handle it yourself." Wu Jingzhong turned his head to look at Li Ya, not involving himself in a single word.
"understood."
Li Ya nodded, turned and walked out.
After taking two steps, he turned back and looked at Wu Jingzhong with a raised brow and a smile:
"Teacher, don't you even trust me?"
"This is a serious matter, especially when it comes to Jianfeng, we must be frank with each other. You know that my old classmate attaches great importance to the word 'loyalty'." Wu Jingzhong said seriously.
"Yes!"
Li Ya, who was originally a little hesitant, immediately became respectful upon hearing this.
The word "loyalty" made him instinctively feel closer to his teacher.
Just as I reached the door, Hong Zhiyou came in carrying some fruit: "Captain Li, don't leave, eat some fruit."
"No, I'm busy." Li Ya said.
"Then take a bag."
Hong Zhiyou gave him a bag.
"also."
Li Ya thought that he would meet student representatives later, so he took it as a reward for them.
"Is everything arranged?" Wu Jingzhong asked after closing the door.
"When I first came in, I saw Sheng Xiang went to Director Yu's office, so it should be almost certain." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Ah That's good.
"Has the master behind the Cao Gang been uncovered?"
Wu Jingzhong asked.
"Analyzing the news from Jingling, I actually have a rough idea of who it is. Now I just need Lin Sufang to confirm it.
"Besides, I thought about it and realized that I had no grudge against that person, so there was no reason for him to attack me."
Hong Zhiyou was quite puzzled.
“What’s so strange.
"There are always some people in this world who have nothing to do and want to have some fun.
“Let’s take a look.
"If it's true, it's really hard to deal with."
As the head of Jinhai intelligence, Wu Jingzhong had already conducted a secret investigation.
“Someone can cure it.
"Once it's confirmed, I will go to Jingling." Hong Zhiyou said.
“Well, that’s all there is.
"It's a bad year.
"We have to send this god away no matter what!"
Wu Jingzhong nodded and sighed.
……
Office of the Inspection Division of the Security Command.
Lu Qiaoshan was fastening the cuffs of his military uniform when the phone rang.
"it's me.
"I understand. Send the list and photos found in the archives to us immediately."
Snapped!
He hung up the phone.
"Old Lu, is there a problem?" Peng Chengtao asked with a smile, sitting on the sofa with his hands in his pockets.
"Li Ya!
"I met with a few students secretly. This is to stir up trouble and give me something to do."
Lu Qiaoshan sneered contemptuously.
"What are you going to do?" Peng Chengtao asked.
"shot.
"Suppress with live ammunition." Lu Qiaoshan's eyes turned cold and he said without thinking.
“No way.
"After the liberation, there has been no precedent of using live ammunition to suppress the rebellion in any major place. Isn't it too risky?" Peng Chengtao said.
“If we don’t use guns, students will never be afraid.
“I’m not Bai Shiwei or Wu Jingzhong, who would shrink back when encountering students.
"Didn't Li Ya want to light a fire?
"I'll take it all."
Land bridge mountain road.
"Do you want to ask Commander Chen for instructions?" Peng Chengtao asked.
“Ask for instructions, s***.
“Although I am under the dual jurisdiction of the Second Department and the Headquarters, Chen Changjie is from the Shanxi-Suiyuan faction and cannot even mobilize the 94th Army. Does he dare to control me?
"Besides, he's eager for us to make some noise.
"Otherwise, it would be boring to just look at the map every day."
Lu Qiaoshan snorted and laughed.
"Or we should ask Commander Zheng for instructions." Peng Chengtao still felt it was a bit crazy.
"No.
"With the Americans backing you up, what are you afraid of?
"Besides, Commander Zheng is very busy, and asking him for instructions on everything would make us seem incompetent.
"Don't worry, I'll be responsible if anything goes wrong."
Lu Qiaoshan was determined to cling to the Americans and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"Okay, then I'll send someone for you." Peng Chengtao nodded.
……
Caobang.
When the newspapers reported the incident extensively, Long Er and Lin Sufang immediately dispatched hundreds of people to guard the house tightly.
Even machine guns were set up on the high walls.
However, these did not scare the students and workers who were accustomed to big scenes.
The student representatives appointed by Li Ya rushed to the front, waving their fists and shouting slogans for justice.
Hong Xiaohui and Guo Youliang stand side by side.
"Defeat American imperialism and the shameless feudal remnants of the Cao Gang."
Her voice was almost hoarse from shouting.
"Senior Guo, Huang Shun and the others have started to build sandbags. They are about to charge the Cao Gang." Hong Xiaohui said excitedly, pointing at the group of people in the front.
"Yes.
"I didn't expect Huang Shun and the others to be so active. I haven't seen that before." Guo Youliang was also very surprised.
The branch’s combat camp has gained several more powerful generals, which is extremely beneficial for promoting red ideas.
Just saying.
Rows of military vehicles entered the scene.
Soldiers from the garrison command and U.S. troops entered the scene from the left and right.
The well-trained soldiers set up roadblocks at the first opportunity.
Swish.
Immediately, some soldiers crawled down and set up machine guns.
Or stand high.
The sounds of loading guns came one after another.
It’s still the familiar recipe and taste.
The students were used to it and continued to shout slogans frantically and move forward.
Hong Xiaohui was just about to follow Guo Youliang and squeeze forward.
Two strong men rushed out from the left and right, grabbed her arms, dragged her out of the crowd, and dragged her into a house nearby.
"You, what are you doing?" As the door closed, Hong Xiaohui struggled to open.
"I asked them to do it." Hong Zhiyou walked down from the second floor slowly.
"Brother, we have agreed that you do your thing and I don't care.
"I'll do my thing, don't bother me."
Hong Xiaohui said dissatisfiedly.
"Not urgent.
“I’ll take care of it this time, and I won’t care about it anymore.
"follow me."
Hong Zhiyou pulled her upstairs.
He opened the window a little, pointed at the person in the front and said:
"Do you think those classmates are a little strange?"
"Yes, a little bit." said Hong Xiaohui.
"They have just returned from training at the cadre school. They are the secret agents of the Bureau of Secret Affairs and the Three Youth League lurking in your student branch.
“Do you know why they are in the front?
"Because they need to perform, need your acceptance, and need to be your 'leader'.
“I told you guys are still young, and the branch is already riddled with holes.
"We know what you are doing."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"I, I know, but this doesn't affect our voice. Besides, it's okay for us to march. Do these soldiers dare to shoot us?" said Hong Xiaohui.
"That's why I brought you here."
