Chapter 320: Filial piety does not mean loyalty
night.
Jianfeng returned to his residence with a tired face, picked up the phone and said:
"Secretary Hong, come here."
Soon, Hong Zhiyou came in response to the order: "Director, you are looking for me."
“Zhiyou, the lady is here.
"She asked me to let the subsidiary go out of our way out of brotherhood," Jianfeng said in a deep voice.
Hong Zhiyou looked at him and didn't dare to respond.
“I refused.
“The closure of Yang Company is crucial to maintaining the stability of the gold yuan.
"If I give up now, I won't be able to explain to my father or the people of Shanghai.
"Madam was very unhappy at that time."
Jianfeng continued.
"By the way, Song Ziliang went to contact the US today and wanted to take over the business of Yang Company, but was stopped. It should be that my wife put pressure on them." He added.
"You act quickly." Hong Zhiyou frowned.
"Report."
As he was speaking, the guard came in.
"Speak." Jianfeng said.
"Brigade Commander Liu has led his troops to withdraw back to Quzhou." said the guard.
"Got it." Jianfeng waved his hand.
“Everyone says that I have thunderous means, but I think my wife is the one.
"This is to restrain my uncle and withdraw Tang Enbo's people. This is to cut off my limbs."
He said a little annoyed.
"director.
"Don't worry, the chairman is in Peking. You can call the Tianjin-Haihai Garrison Command and tell them that the military supplies for Fu Zuoyi's troops have arrived.
“Send this batch of goods to Jinhai overnight and store them in a U.S. military warehouse.
"I am the secretary of the Tianjin-Haihai American Aid Material Committee. When the time comes, I will arrange for a portion of this batch of food to be transferred back to Shanghai by land and distributed to the local people."
Hong Zhiyou thought for a moment and said.
Jianfeng's fight against the tiger is doomed to fail, and even the immortal god cannot save it.
It can make Kong Lingkan sick.
By the way, he could get hold of these tens of thousands of tons of supplies, deduct the money used to support the people in Shanghai, and manipulate the rest a little, then sell part of it to Hong Piao and Fu Zuoyi at a low price, which would be a free profit.
It would be a waste if you don't take out this pocket.
"But if you do this, you will offend the Kong family and Madam, which will be very dangerous." Jianfeng said.
“Somebody’s gotta do something.
"How dare I speak of danger when I am able to serve the director?" Hong Zhiyou said sternly.
"it is good!"
Jianfeng patted his shoulder hard.
"The Cao Gang's ship arrived at the Huangpu Wharf last night, just waiting for the director's order.
“Within three days.
"Du Baotou will be able to load all of them and send them to Jinhai."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Can we stop the lady in three days?" Jianfeng frowned.
"Du Yuesheng is risking his life to help us this time, so we have to hold on no matter what.
"In Shanghai, my wife couldn't control the Green Gang.
“Tang Enbo’s people just left, and they obviously don’t want to stir up trouble.
"The only people she can move are Xuan Tiewu's police station, the guards of the garrison headquarters, and the military police. As long as Xuan Tiewu pretends to be dead, she can only watch us load the ship."
Hong Zhiyou analyzed with great force.
"Xuan Tiewu is a very smooth man. He will definitely not interfere. The only thing I'm afraid of is that my wife will forcibly drag father back from the front line in Peiping." Jianfeng frowned.
“The chairman will definitely come back.
“But he must have shipped all the goods away before he came back to close the deal.
"Director, you should believe that fatherly love is as strong as a mountain. The chairman will always be on your side." Hong Zhiyou said confidently.
"it is good.
"The Kong family has been trading their assets in North America for years, and they turned a deaf ear to the topic of military supplies.
"It's a good opportunity to let them bleed hard this time to provide military supplies.
"Father would definitely be happy to see that."
Jianfeng said happily.
Hong Zhiyou looked at him and felt ashamed.
Comrade Jianfeng, I’m sorry.
Growing up under the red flag, I have to empty your pocket.
……
the Kongs.
Kong Lingkan hurried in: "Aunt, I just got the news that Jianfeng colluded with Du Yuesheng and is transporting grain to the Jinhai Transshipment Center via the US military and the Cao Gang's ships.
"They are going to send our food to Fu Zuoyi as military supplies."
"Jianfeng's move was cruel and vicious enough.
“Little sister, you have to move.
"Otherwise, these tens of thousands of tons of grain will really be wasted."
Mrs. Kong also chimed in.
"Ship it to Jinhai, that's the territory of Chen Changjie and Wu Jingzhong. Once it's in the mouths of these hungry wolves, don't even think about spitting it out.
"Madam, call Tang Enbo immediately and ask him to mobilize soldiers to stop the Qing Gang from transporting grain."
Kong Xiangxi also made a prompt decision.
"Okay." Mrs. Jiang also became anxious.
Waiting to dial the call.
After a few simple words, she hung up.
"Tang Enbo went to southern Zhejiang to build defensive fortifications and said he wouldn't be back for a while." Mrs. Jiang said.
"Then let's change the construction site. We must ask Tang Enbo to send someone." Kong Xiangxi pointed at the phone and urged again.
After asking for the construction site's phone number, Mrs. Jiang called...
"Tang Enbo is inspecting the construction site and cannot be contacted." Mrs. Jiang shook her head helplessly.
"This Tang Enbo always fails at the critical moment. He is really unreliable."
Kong Xiangxi was so angry that he started cursing.
"Why don't we try mobilizing the Bureau of Secrets and the Bureau of Party Communications?" Kong Lingkan suggested.
"it's useless.
"I have contacted them a long time ago. With the killer Jianfeng around, they are all like cowards and dare not show their heads at all." Kong Xiangxi snorted coldly.
"Father, you have a close personal relationship with Director Xuan, so ask him to transfer the military police headquarters.
"Now, apart from Director Xuan, no one can suppress Du Yuesheng's 30,000 Green Gang members."
Kong Lingkan said impatiently.
"it's useless.
"Xuan Tiewu is sick again. I just went to the hospital to visit him this morning, and he couldn't even speak.
"You've gone to such lengths to pretend that you don't want to get involved in this matter."
Kong Xiangxi shook his head and sighed.
"This bastard is occupying the toilet without doing anything!
"All I know is watching a show."
Kong Lingkan no longer cared about the elegance of a wealthy family and started swearing at his wife in front of her.
The lady frowned, very unhappy, but finally endured it.
“It must be Hong Zhi’s trick.
"That kid is more cunning than a fox and has thorns all over his body. He is so annoying!" Kong Lingkan became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He could only pace back and forth in the room in a sulk.
"Little sister, if it really doesn't work... call the chairman.
"If this continues, hundreds of thousands of dollars will really be gone."
Seeing the look in Kong Xiangxi's eyes, Mrs. Kong hurriedly took Mrs. Jiang's hand and suggested with a smile.
"Aunt, please." Kong Lingkan made the sign of the cross on his chest and begged.
"All right.
"Wait for me, I'll go upstairs and call him." Mrs. Jiang sighed softly.
She really didn't want to call the chairman back from the front line, as that would seem too inconsiderate.
But now Jianfeng has gone crazy.
No one can control him except the chairman.
Thinking of this, she still dialed the number of the Peking Command.
……
Peking Headquarters.
"Committee.
“Our unit is at most three days away from Shijiazhuang.
"The Red Ticket Northeast Field Army is fighting inside the Great Wall.
"The North China Field Army, which is closest to Xibaipo, is 500 miles away, and it will take at least six days to return.
"This time difference is enough for us to launch a surprise attack.
"Zheng Tingfeng's troops are highly mechanized and can march very quickly. Once Shijiazhuang is recaptured, the army can move diagonally in the direction of Xibaipo and decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
"Please approve it, Chairman."
Fu Zuoyi, a tall and burly man, pointed at the map and offered advice to the chairman beside him.
“It’s not like we haven’t fought in Xibaipo before.
“There were many explosions from the planes alone.
"At the same time, Hongpiao has always been fond of playing tricks on people, so could this be a trap?
"We have already suffered a great loss in Jinzhou. Liao Yaoxiang's army was completely destroyed. We cannot lose the 94th Army again."
The chairman said sternly.
Fu Zuoyi was speechless.
At the beginning, Du Yuming suggested many times that Jinzhou should not be recaptured, but you insisted on sending Liao Yaoxiang's army there to die. Now you realize you are suffering a loss, isn't it too late?
He now really doubted whether the principal and his top students like Hu Zongnan would fight.
"Right now the war is at a stalemate, the red tickets keep knocking at the gates, and Jinan has also been lost.
"In this chaotic situation, a surprising strategy may lead to victory.
"Once we take Xibaipo, the Red Army will be leaderless and morale will be greatly weakened. The army may even become a loose mess, and we will have enough opportunity and time to annihilate them."
Fu Zuoyi said.
Just as the chairman was about to speak, Yu Jishi walked in: "Chairman, my wife is calling."
The chairman ignored Fu Zuoyi and returned to his room to answer the phone:
"okay, I get it.
"It may not be possible to call him. I will rush back to Shanghai as soon as possible."
hang up the phone.
He was quite distressed.
On the one hand, we need to support Jianfeng and help him establish his power.
On one side are the Madam and the Kong and Song families. These people have deeply infiltrated the Party and the country, and are involved in the United States-China issue, so it is not easy to move against them.
I'm worried.
The phone rang again.
Yu Jishi picked up the phone and said, "Commissioner, Wu Jingzhong from Jinhai Station wants to see you urgently."
……
Jinhai Station.
Wu Jingzhong took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Soon, the chairman's majestic voice came from the other end of the phone.
He stood at attention quickly, his voice remained competent without losing a hint of nervousness:
"Commissioner, I am Wu Jingzhong from Jinhai Station.
"According to the order of Comrade Jianfeng, the Marine Depot is receiving military supplies and fodder transferred from Shanghai. It is estimated to be 100,000 tons and can be transferred within three days.
"Please give us instructions on when the first batch of grain will be shipped to Beijing.
"Yes Yes!"
Beep, beep, the other end hung up.
Wu Jingzhong wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhiyou, you are going to drag my old bones to be buried with you."
……
The chairman put down the phone.
"This Wu Jingzhong, when the grain is delivered, he can just call the headquarters. It's just nonsense to bother you with such a trivial matter." Yu Jishi said dissatisfiedly.
"Do not.
"Jianfeng and his wife had a fight in Shanghai.
“This Wu Jingzhong is a sensible man.
"Go tell Commander Fu to have him and the General Staff carefully consider the plan, including the deployment of soldiers, weapons, etc.
"Let's stay here a few more days."
The chairman said calmly.
Wu Jingzhong called and was talking about Comrade Jianfeng.
This is to make a stand for yourself.
Wu Jingzhong is from Jianfeng.
As for Jianfeng transporting Kong Lingkan's grain, his wife had already mentioned it on the phone. It was obvious that Jianfeng had no intention of letting Kong Lingkan go.
Of course that won't work.
Madam, I can’t explain that.
However, we cannot let Jianfeng’s prestige be damaged.
The best way is to procrastinate.
Wait until Jianfeng finishes transporting the grain, and then go back to settle this family matter.
……
Three days later.
Fu Zuoyi and his entourage escorted the Chairman to the airport.
"Yisheng, I think your surprise attack plan is feasible. If you can wipe out the bandits, I will be in Jingling to personally celebrate for you and General Zheng." The chairman reminded.
"Yes, Chairman." Everyone saluted and watched the Chairman board the plane.
"Why.
"I love beauty, not the country.
"It's a very critical moment. The morale of the soldiers is high. It's really disheartening to see them just leave at this moment."
Fu Zuoyi returned to the car and said to his adjutant Sun Wenjing with emotion.
"Yes.
"The soldiers are extremely excited about the Chairman's coming..." Sun Wenjing also shook his head.
“It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders.
"Well, let him go on his way and we continue our fight.
"Immediately order Zheng Tingfeng to march quickly to Shijiazhuang."
Fu Zuoyi ordered.
"Yes." Sun Wenjing accepted the order.
……
Go to Shanghai.
Jianfeng returned to the office with a gloomy face.
"Director." Hong Zhiyou quickly got up and made tea.
"Has all the grain been shipped?" Jianfeng asked.
"The total amount is nearly 150,000 tons, and all of it has been transported to the Tianjin Navy warehouse." Hong Zhiyou said.
"it is good.
“It’s OK as long as the goods are gone.
"Zhiyou, I just got the news that the chairman has arrived in Shanghai." Jianfeng said.
"Then you have to find a way to meet him and report the work of fighting tigers in person. It would be best if you can take away the grain comprador rights of the Kong family." Hong Zhiyou said.
“It’s difficult.
"I went there twice, but both times my wife sent me back on the grounds that my father was resting and should not be disturbed.
“I have a bad feeling.
"It may be difficult to take away the Kong family's comprador rights. The trip to Shanghai is coming to an end."
Jianfeng sighed.
"No matter what, this rescue of the market has been effective. It's good enough as long as you have a clear conscience." Hong Zhiyou comforted.
“Just do good things and don’t worry about the future.
"I didn't expect that you have such a state of mind at such a young age." Jianfeng laughed.
……
Ten p.m.
Jianfeng came back with red eyes, and as soon as he entered the door he instructed Hong Zhiyou:
"Zhiyou, no need to make tea, drink with me, we must get drunk tonight."
"Director, what are you doing?" Hong Zhiyou knew that what was supposed to come had finally come.
Jianfeng didn't say anything, he just picked up the bottle and drank it all.
This is the way to drink it, very Soviet.
The leader blew the bottle, and Hong Zhiyou had no choice but to sacrifice his life to keep up with the gentleman. He opened a bottle and drank it all.
"Do you know what our chairman said? If we don't fight corruption, the country will perish; if we fight corruption, the party will perish. He actually asked me to apologize to Kong Lingkan, haha!"
Jianfeng burst into laughter, his face full of tears.
"He also ordered the dissolution of the Economic Management Committee, and did not give the grain distribution rights to my uncle, but continued to let Kong Lingkan's Yang Company run it.
“Moreover, he also put Long Tao in jail.
“My wise friend, the efforts of you and me over the past 100 days have been wasted, and we have become the laughing stock of the Kong family.
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial!
"You can be loyal but not filial, and you can be filial but not loyal.
“I can only put filial piety first.
"I lost!"
As Jianfeng smiled bitterly, his entire spirit and energy completely dissipated.
“Director, it’s difficult for the chairman too. He has already done his best to help you finish the matter by staying in Peking for three days.
“Now that the Kong family has suffered heavy losses, letting him continue to supervise the grain supply is a moderate approach, with both sides having wins and losses.
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult for an honest official to settle family disputes, and it is indeed difficult for the chairman.
"Director, please take it easy."
Hong Zhiyou said with relief.
“I have arranged a flight for you, please return to Jinhai immediately.
"This place is too chaotic. I'm afraid my father will be bewitched by my wife and do something bad to you. The sooner you leave, the better."
Jianfeng rubbed his eyebrows and cheered himself up.
"Thank you, Director. What about Boss Du and Captain Long..." Hong Zhiyou said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to protect them.
"Zhiyou, after working with you for such a long time, to be honest, I am a little reluctant to let you go.
“I wanted to transfer you to Jingling.
“But many things related to the grain transportation in Jinhai still depend on you.
"So be it, my comrade.
"Take care of yourself!"
Jianfeng bids a heartfelt farewell.
“Take care, Director.
Hong Zhiyou bowed respectfully, packed up his belongings, went to the prison to see Long Tao, gave his family a considerable sum of money, and then rushed to the airport.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw Kong Lingkan wearing sunglasses and leading a group of people waiting.
