"Sir, where do I get it?"

"Jiaoao Daily doesn't need it, please pick me up Qingcheng Times!"

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

The operator sitting in front of a huge telephone transfer machine connected the line between the Bohai Hotel and the Qingcheng Times.

The editor on the other side of the phone was sending someone outside to ask what was going on.

followed by a phone call, and gave him a detailed answer to this question.

The editor-in-chief was not a vegetarian either, so he quickly dispatched their Times ace factual reporter, with his interview equipment, and went straight to the gate of the city hall.

Shao Nianshi, who hung up the phone, grinned, and the phone in his hand was directly transferred to the newspaper office of Jiaodong Evening News.

There are six newspapers and four weekly magazines in the whole Qingcheng, and Shao Nian is impartial, and even the editor of the Little Sun Newspaper, which specializes in celebrity gossip and gossip, also gave notice on the way.

Shao Nianshi didn't believe it, these reporters, who are usually rivals, are not in a hurry to grab the headlines after meeting their peers.

As long as there is a brave man who can break through the blockade of the town hall and rush into the council hall to ask for an observance......

This thing, even if it was done when Shao Nian was in his time, in his heart, this is what he can do with half the effort. It's purely to see the lively Shao Nian, this patience is really good, and today such a big event happened in Qingcheng, don't expect customers to come to him to buy fabrics.

In order to monitor whether the Japanese have taken action on this and whether the compatriots who have entered can push for the annulment of the agreement, Shao Nianshi planned to spend it at the window this morning.

So what are the negotiators on both sides who led the marching leaders into the chamber doing?

Listen to Mayor Wang's complaints.

As the commander of Qingcheng who can change three or four times a year, he is even more tragic than the Shandong overseer.

But the mayor was much better than his predecessors.

Not long after he took office, he actually ceded a large part of his interests to the Japanese.

Therefore, Mayor Wang felt that it was necessary for him to stabilize the troublemakers outside first, and after he had done this matter secretly, he could make any fools out of this group of people.

"It's difficult for me to be a mayor, I just don't want to be like the previous mayors, scraping the ground as soon as I take office. ”

"It has caused all walks of life to complain and scold our government for inaction. ”

"I just want to make my citizens' lives as good as possible under the existing conditions. ”

"You see, the Germans helped us build this power plant. ”

"How many people in China understand this, and how many of these people are in Qingdao. ”

"Well, now that they have reached an agreement with the Japanese, they have patted their butts and returned home, and they have gone clean. ”

"But what about what they left behind, and what about the money we invested in it?"

"When they leave, what about the technical jobs that are left vacant?"

"How do you keep a new power supply up and running? The hellish Germans didn't explain it to us. ”

"Why do you think our Qingcheng's power system is good and bad now?"

"Because we are still using the old power plant that supplied electricity many years ago, when the first light bulb in Qingcheng was pulled out, to generate electricity!"

"This new power plant is now vacant there, like a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, and the power plant and power supply department under the direct control of the government still have close to 100 Chinese workers who do not work and get paid!"

"What do you think the Beiyang government in the north has invested so much money to build this power plant in Qingcheng?"

"If those people know that I will let the power plant be left like this, I'm afraid my head won't stay around my neck!!"

"So, I can only ask Japanese people who have the same power supply technology and understand how German power generation equipment works to join our team. ”

"I didn't let them join for nothing!"

"I asked the Japanese for millions of dollars to give them half of the controlling stake. ”

"Not only that, but I also had the audacity to take out the political donation that should have been given to Duan Qirui, and used it for local economic development and land buyback. ”

"I didn't ask the people of Qingcheng for a penny, I added an extra tax, I put all the risk on my shoulders, and bought back a large piece of land that had not belonged to China since 1893 into the Qingcheng section. ”

"I've done all this, and you're still protesting outside, it's too hard for me as the mayor to do it, I ......"

Speaking of this, Mayor Wang took out the handkerchief in his arms, covered his face and cried.

He was touched by what he had said, and he felt that he was really sad.

It's just that Deng Mingen, who is used to maintaining every bit of sovereignty, and Su Shuwei, who originally planned to fan the flames, can do this?

Definitely not!

No matter what the purpose is, the final result is to damage the interests of all the people in Qingcheng.

Without addressing the underlying problem, complaining is just a way to cover up one's incompetence.

They didn't believe it, did the mayor of Qingcheng, who had never resisted, only think of such an idea to maintain his position?

Did he ever make a serious protest to the Beiyang government?

Did he turn away the political reserve team sent by the northern government?

Did he take the initiative to negotiate with the Japanese side on the issue of the other side's encroachment on Yantian?

No, Mayor Wang has never tried to solve these problems, and all they get is a stupid act of bartering, or even more in exchange for the right to own the land.

If Mayor Wang can deal with these problems with the same effort he just complained, then how can their group of marchers stand against him?

They must have stood behind this good mayor who was worried about the country and the people, fighting against imperialism and the evil forces in the country.

So, Su Shuwei expressed his extreme disapproval, and just as he was about to lift the veil of Mayor Wang's hypocrisy, he heard a noise outside the conference hall.

"How did you get in? Defend! Defend! Get them out!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the door of the council chamber slammed open from the outside.

Two reporters with cameras around their necks and a cloth pocket on their faces jumped into the hall after them.

Because of this sudden meeting, the two parties first looked at each other, and then the two reporters, who had successfully arrived at their destination, shouted excitedly: "The person who provided the information did not lie to us! Hahaha, they are really talking in secret!"

"Mayor! We ask for the right to observe! As the tongue of Qingcheng and the official media organization, we have the right to know the central topic of this meeting!"

"All citizens have the right to know, and it is our duty as journalists to give true feedback to everyone what we have learned. ”

"Let them use their own judgment to make the decision that best meets the will of the people!"

"Mr. Mayor, no matter what that mysterious agreement is, it is not a new era of democracy in China, which can be decided through the operation of only a few high-level people. ”

While the reporters were shouting, government security guards who were chasing them from the corridor outside the door also arrived.

When the security and reporters pushed and shoved here, Su Shuwei and his party stood on the side of these reporters with a clear banner.

"Yes, Mayor, after listening to what you have just said, I don't think it is possible for us to achieve the purpose of this trip through friendly negotiations. ”

"So we asked these journalist friends to stand by. ”

"Because we are afraid that if we fail to reach a reunification with Mr. Mayor at some level, in order to protect our own position and certain interest groups, Mayor Wang is very likely to brand us as reactionaries who undermine the stability and unity of the city. ”

"Bloody repression of innocent citizens and students outside the door. ”

And declare that we are the wrong party, so as to cover up our own mistakes. ”

"Journalists, please be sure to report truthfully!"

"Mayor Wang sold the equity of the Qingcheng Power Plant and its subordinate power supply station, which we had just built and finally recovered from the Germans, to the Japanese!!"

As soon as these words fell, a few reporters over there were still struggling in the hands of strong security guards like chicks, but after hearing such exciting news, they were like being beaten with chicken blood, and they became excited again.

One of the most nimble reporters, taking advantage of the stunned efforts of his security guards, actually stabbed to the edge of the gate of the town hall, and in the frightened roar of several gatekeepers, clicked the gate open, and then shouted at all the people outside the gate who were waiting for it at great speed: "The mayor is going to sell the power plant to the Japanese!!"

After shouting this sentence, he hurriedly waved to his counterparts from the various newspaper offices who were squatting around the door, and motioned to the other party to take this opportunity to rush to the city hall!

Don't look at these reporters, usually in order to compete for a headline, it is a dog's brain.

But when they fight against powerful forces and figures, they will subconsciously hug each other.

As the frontline of the charge, they have not yet become the mouthpiece of this corrupt northern government, and they know very well that in the face of such a force, it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person.

So, now that they've been greeted, they're all rushing up.

Regardless of whether they were holding cameras or notes, they all rushed towards the city hall.

Because only when their people reach a certain number of people, the people at the time of such a big event cannot block the news.

As a last resort, they had no choice but to disclose it to journalists.

And for such a big event, everyone only needs to grasp one of the points to complete the agreement that their headlines do not conflict.

They have to work together!

A few men who were already very experienced and a little stronger spontaneously stood in front of the security guards who saw that the momentum was not right, and the thinner but more clever colleagues behind them took this opportunity to sneak into the conference hall.

It doesn't matter who is inside, anyway, let's figure out what happened first.

Immediately afterward, Mayor Wang was horrified to find that a large group of disgraced reporters had rushed into the city hall that he thought was impregnable.

And the target of this group of reporters is very clever to choose the representatives he needs to negotiate.

You must know that Su Shuwei and Deng Mingen are not just two people who came alone.

He brought with him plenipotentiary representatives of workers, students, and Qingcheng intellectuals.

These deputies, who also had no hope for those in power, did not reserve any reservations when they asked them all about the theme of the meeting.

Then, after hearing what Mayor Wang had done, the most fearful crowd in Qingcheng turned their heads to Mayor Wang, who was sitting alone at one end, and then expressed their demands in the usual way of forcing people to tell the truth.

"Mayor Wang, this kind of serious matter is no longer a problem that can be covered up with small-scale negotiations. ”

"We feel like we're going to have to let all the citizens know about it!"

"Yes, Mayor Wang, I think you need to have a public voice conference on this event. ”

"The terms of the agreement and the consequences for Qingcheng will be fully announced. ”

"That's not something you can decide as a mayor anymore!"

"We are now a new society, a new government, and it is no longer a word of the feudal society of the old dynasty!"

"Something like this, even the emperor of the previous dynasty can't rule alone, and there will definitely be many people in the entire court who stand up against it!"

"Mayor Wang! Publicly! Publicly! Justly!"

"Yes! Mayor Wang is open!"

"Mayor Wang is open!"

How sensitive are these reporters to the news and politics, and there are a few of the most daring thorns, who themselves come from well-off families, and they don't take causing trouble seriously.

If there is one who has the courage to lead the trouble, some peers dare to follow behind and quarrel.

There was even a young master who went to the newspaper office for an internship, so he directly pushed open the window, and somehow took out a large horn in a roll from the small box he was carrying, and shouted at the window that was only two stories high.

"Citizens of Qingcheng!"

"Mayor Wang is going to sell the power plant to the Japanese!!"

After this sentence was shouted, the people at No. 100 downstairs were silent.

But after a moment of silence, there was an explosive roar!

"Wang Zhenting traitor!"

"Wang Zhenting, you come out for us!"

"Wang Zhenting, get out of Qingcheng!"

"Wang Zhenting, get out of Qingcheng!"

In the midst of the deafening crusade, the boy who announced everything loudly put the iron megaphone in his hand on the ground, picked up the camera hanging around his neck, and slapped it at the angry crowd downstairs.
