Chen Xuan thought that he had been well prepared in the past six years, but the outbreak of the European war made Chen Xuan realize once again that it is not so simple to become a complete industrial country.

Although the industrial upgrading of the domestic and Xia factories is very smooth, and the factories are also working at full capacity to produce the strategic materials needed for the European war, Chen Xuan sadly found that he could not earn a lot of money at all, or the domestic industrial scale could not meet the needs of the European war at all.

In the end, the United States took the lion's share, Chen Xuan was able to do less than one percent, the French had no choice but to bow to Xiao Jin, leaving a few port cities, Xiao Jin's Qin State temporarily truce, so that Xiao Jin's factory is also riveting production, a steady stream of shipments to Europe, in exchange for various production technologies and hard currency gold.

Xiao Jin and Chen Xuan are worthy of being traversers, plundering Europe's gold together, embezzling and digesting various advanced technologies in Europe, and even plundering scientific and technological talents from all walks of life in Europe.

Chen Xuan's sense of urgency became stronger, he clearly knew that he and Xiao Jin were both aware of the direction of historical development, so they played several side balls, and when the European and American powers freed up, their lives would be difficult.

So he handed over the governance of Shanghai to Chen Qimei, Zhang Jian, Gu Weijun, Song Jiaoren and others, and he and Zhao Xuechu began to inspect the various industrial zones in the jurisdiction, sort out the factories, and do their best to expand the scale and improve industrial efficiency.

The perfect end of Shanghai's street clean-up operation does not mean that all other work has ended, and cracking down on gangs is an arduous and long-term task, and there can be no slackness.

September 15, Shanghai.

The open space outside the city was already filled with wooden boxes full of large cigarettes, and the people of the police office opened the wooden boxes, and the ugly round lumps of black smoke balls were displayed for the people to visit and the reporters to supervise.

Chen Qimei presided over the cigarette sales conference.

"Compatriots, distinguished guests, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, our country and our people have been deeply poisoned by the smoke, countless people have changed from high morale to no one and no ghost, countless families have been torn apart under the poison of the smoke, countless solid families and even huge rich families have been ruined because of someone smoking smoke, in exchange for countless skinny smokers and numb souls.

As we all know, backwardness will be beaten, our compatriots, our brothers and sisters have not been proud of their heads and held high, since 1840 in the foreign wars almost all the war in the north, and even some shameless countries slandered us as the 'sick man of East Asia', ruthlessly trampled on the dignity of our country and nation, and looked back on ourselves, what have we done all these years that are beneficial to the country and the nation?

Perhaps some of you will say that everything is the fault of the government, and it is the government's failure to do a good job that has made our 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization dusty, and that we can only be reduced to second-class citizens even on our own land!

However, I would like to say, dear compatriots, you are wrong, a healthy and thriving country requires everyone's dedication, whether you are an official, a soldier, a businessman, a student, a worker or even a peasant, if you want to be respected by others, we must first respect ourselves! Only when everyone is self-disciplined and self-respecting, can there be a brand-new China and restore the glory of the ancestors! And not as accomplices to the murder of our own compatriots!

Here, on behalf of the Shanghai Overseer's Office, I officially promulgate the "Anti-Smoking Decree", which stipulates that all tobacco and tobacco sales are carried and sold within the jurisdiction of our Overseer's Office. Piece) to open a smoke house gambling house, no matter who he is? It doesn't matter what kind of background he has! They will all be punished severely, and the Overseers will not tolerate it! ”

As soon as Chen Qimei's voice fell, the audience sounded the cheers like a tsunami, and countless people cried bitterly, since 1839, Wen Zhonggong (Lin Zexu) Humen sold cigarettes, the officials on the land of China talked about cigarettes and changed color, and did not dare to look directly at foreigners, and now, finally raised their eyebrows!

Then several representatives from all walks of life made speeches, giving positive support and affirmation to this tobacco sales campaign, and comparing it with the exploits of Wen Zhonggong's Humen cigarette sales, and inadvertently pushing Chen Qimei to the height of a national hero.

The German Consul General in Shanghai, who was in the honeymoon period with the Chen Xuan regime, also delivered a speech as an invited guest, saying that Germany's tobacco trade in China was inferior to that of Britain and France, and that it also had a request for the Chen Xuan regime, so he did not hesitate to praise this movement, calling this movement a civilized, progressive, and great movement, and openly calling on those powers that have great interests in China's tobacco trade to stop harming Chinese citizens!

The British and French consuls were pale, but they couldn't find a word to push, so they had to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and they all agreed, as for what they thought in their hearts, only they knew.

Shanghai fired the first shot of the ban on smoking, Chen Xuan's districts and provinces have been electrified to support, and also began to rectify their own jurisdictions, Xiao Jin's Qin State and Liang Luyi's Xia Guo also sent a telegram to support and express appreciation, and even Beiyang also sent a telegram to praise Chen Qimei.

In just a few days, thousands of long and short guns were sent to the police station, and there was an endless stream of people who came to apply for legal gun licenses.

At the same time, the Shanghai Governor's Office made a clear registration of legal firearms and ammunition, stipulating that the shooting training of bodyguards or merchant guards must be carried out under the supervision of the police office, and it is no longer necessary to put guns wherever you want.

At the same time, the Overseer's Mansion also began to vigorously reorganize the public facilities in the old city, clean up the piles of garbage, build new drainage ditches, and fill in the broken streets.

The more than 20,000 gang members who were arrested in the early stage were executed for the most heinous crimes, and all the rest were sent to the Xia Kingdom to serve.

The other members of the Qinghong Gang are hiding in the concession and dare not come out, many bigwigs have begun to consider transformation, some have asked people to ask for negotiations, and many ruffians and hooligans have begun to find serious work.

However, the Overseer's Mansion was comfortable, and the life of the concession was not so good, and countless ruffians and hooligans ran to the concession, and the interests of the concession were only so much, which naturally caused a lot of disputes and fights.

As a result, many of the ruffians and hooligans who were arrested by the Concession Patrol Office were handed over to the Overseer's Mansion, and the Overseer's Mansion did not refuse to come, and they were all packed up and sent to the Xia Kingdom.

"Brother Ince, you have done a great thing this time, how long has it been since I have been so proud of China!"

Song Jiaoren, who returned from participating in the cigarette sales conference, was still excited.

"What am I? Snatched the merits of others for nothing! All this was arranged and implemented by the Baath Party, and it is ridiculous that I Chen Yingshi was in vain as the overseer of Shanghai, and I have been in power in Shanghai for several years, but I have not done a decent thing. Is there really such a big gap between the party and the Ba'ath Party? ”

Thinking of the performance of some of the old revolutionary fathers of the League, Song Jiaoren couldn't help blushing, the Baath Party had only joined the Overseer Mansion for half a month, and many officials of the League had already been taken down, either making money or messing around, fighting for power and profit was a good hand, but doing practical things was useless, and this was only when the Baath Party entered the Overseer's Mansion, if you count the time before, I really don't know the revolution. How many people are left in the Overseer's Palace?

It was so good that the Baath Party was also considered to be a face, and it was not sent directly to prison, but sent the evidence to Chen Qimei and Song Jiaoren and let them dispose of it themselves, so a large number of people. Party officials were dissuaded.

Of course, the Baath Party is not without problems at all, and they themselves have something they can't see, the people. Feeling disgraced, the Party began to report some of the Baath's violations and inactions, which led to a new overseer's rule, which was a surprise.

The Ba'ath Party's top brass also discovered that there were people from other parties in the regime who had such advantages, and began to actively study the composition of the bureaucracy.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but think of a legend he had heard before, saying that when fishermen were fishing overseas, because they had to go to sea for several days, the sardines always died when they returned to port.

That's probably why the Overseer has a new look, and those citizens. Party officials, it's those catfish.

"Brother Ince, you have moved the interests of many people this time, so you should be more careful when entering and exiting in the future!"

Song Jiaoren kindly reminded.

"I'm going to be afraid of them? Before, for the development of the revolution, I had to rely on their strength, which has also become a stain on my life, my reputation as the Qinglou Overseer is still very loud, and now we have our own strength, of course, we have to clean up these city fox society rats, of course, I am not unsympathetic, if they are willing to reform themselves, I will also give them the opportunity, and can even provide help within my ability, if they are still obsessed, then we can't blame our hands for black, these favors are insignificant in the face of the country's righteousness! ”

"I just want to remind you that my generation of revolutionaries, since the moment they participated in the revolution, has already pledged their lives to the country, what is the way of life and death, but the revolution has not yet succeeded, and my generation has to temporarily stay and contribute to the country."

"Brother Dunchu is right, not only I have to pay attention, but all of you must also be careful, I will inform the Security Department and the Archives Bureau, so that they can pay close attention to the movements of these people and nip the danger in the bud in time."
