Boom, boom, boom, thunder, earth shook.

In a separate luxury compartment of the train, Geng Chaozhong's gaze followed the scenery outside the window all the way to the west.

The Jiaoji line was built in 1899 and opened to traffic in 1904, starting from Qingdao in the east and Jinan in the west, which is the longest railway in Shandong. The German Governor in Jiaoao once said: "Where I build my railway, that is, where I occupy land, that is, where the majesty of my Kaiser reaches." ”

And under the heavy tracks of the Jiaoji Railway, what is buried are the blood and tears of Chinese laborers.

"Xiao Geng, you have a lot of thoughts!"

Liu Yiban looked at Geng Chaozhong's deep eyes and couldn't help but speak.

"Oh," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "The section chief smiled, and I suddenly thought that when I came, I was still an unknown coolie, but when I went back, I became an official eater, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed." ”

Liu Yiban looked at him for a moment, and his face looked a little sentimental, and he said with emotion:

"Yes, I think I went east to Japan to study, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the vast sea, I also had such a sigh."

"The section chief has been to Japan?" Geng Chaozhong became interested.

"Yes, I don't have any money at home, so I have to go to Japan. Besides, at that time, if you wanted to go to the United States and Europe, you still needed a passport or something, and the ferry ticket was also very expensive, so many of us in Zhejiang chose to go east to Japan, and the same was true for the principal! Liu Yiban said.

At that time, Chinese went to Japan, and Japanese came to China, and they did not need to hold passports. Both international students and ordinary tourists can travel freely between the two countries as if they were traveling in the same country.

For example, Lu Xun, who was also from Zhejiang, went to Japan in 1902, and his younger brother Zhou Zuoren went to Japan in 1905, but they did not have passports, and the other students who stayed in Japan on the same ship with their brothers also did not have passports.

"The section chief went to Japan at a young age to seek a way to save the country, and he is really a dragon among people." Geng Chaozhong said with a cheeky compliment.

Liu Yiban suddenly smiled and said:

"Da Jiang Ge turned his head east,

The dense group of people is poor.

Ten years of facing the wall,

It's hard to reward heroes who go to the sea. ”

Geng Chaozhong's heart sank, and he said: "The chief of the department is talented, and he is deeply admired. ”

Liu Yiban was stunned for a moment, pointed at Geng Chaozhong, and his face was full of crying and laughing:

"You, you, you haven't heard this poem, you, the official of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, did it for nothing!"

Geng Chaozhong looked puzzled and asked, "Why, didn't you make this poem, section chief?" ”

Liu Yiban's face suddenly turned grim, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, with admiration, fear, and regret:

"This is the biggest opponent of our party's investigation department, the poem made by Zhou Er, the leader of the Red Party and bandits!"

Geng Chaozhong was shocked, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "This, this, this ,,,"

Liu Yiban waved his hand, the look on his face was very complicated, and he slowly spoke:

"This is a real talent! This person served as the director of the Political Department in Huangpu back then, and everyone in Huangpu was impressed! Even the headmaster ....... What am I? What am I! Ay! Ay! ”

Liu Yiban sighed repeatedly, as if he was sighing for himself and for others.

Geng Chaozhong nodded sympathetically, and suddenly remembered that something was wrong, so he quickly shook his head, and opened his mouth to comfort Liu Yiban and said:

"Section Chief, you are only 26 years old, you have already achieved the length of a section, and the future is limitless! Why be presumptuous? ”

Liu Yiban still shook his head again and again, and sighed:

"Cough, Xiao Geng, what do you know, once you get to the section chief, it is a small step in five years, a big step in ten years, how easy is it to go up? ! To be honest, I'm not as good as you! If you have the Baoding Medal, you will be promoted in the future, and that will be called fast! Maybe ten years from now, I'll have to call yourself a lowly man when I see you! ”

"Section Chief!" Geng Chaozhong looked anxious and hurriedly remedied, "What did you say?!" Even if I have made meritorious contributions, it is all your leadership, what credit do I have? The Upper Peak will not turn a blind eye to your credit! ”

As soon as Geng Chaozhong's words fell, he heard a snap, and Liu Yiban slapped the table and said:

"Good! Xiao Geng, this time there is a chance to make meritorious contributions, do you dare to fight?! ”

Geng Chaozhong was stunned, Liu Yiban is so special to set himself up!

Stunned for a moment, Liu Yiban had already taken out a file bag from his handbag, put it on the bumpy table, pointed to the file bag, and said, "Look at these materials." ”

Geng Chaozhong pulled out the documents and began to look at them carefully—they were all materials from the reorganization faction.

The reorganization faction was an anti-Chiang group headed by Wang, Chen Gongbo, and Wang Leping. In 28, the "Chinese Kuomintang Reorganization Comrades Association" was established in Shanghai, advocating the reorganization of the Kuomintang, the restoration of the popular movement, and the opposition to the military DC.

After entering the 29th year, the reorganization faction set up a branch in Nanjing, and in just one year, the number has grown to more than 1,000 people, and most of them are members of the Nanjing Party Department and their subordinate organizations.

The organization of activities is completely secret, after the members join the club, they are all numbered, all documents are only written with numbers, not names, except for the necessary contact at work, do not know each other.

"Do you see clearly?" Liu Yiban asked.

"See clearly." Geng Chaozhong had a confused expression.

"However, it's useless to look at these materials! I don't know much about the situation in Jinan, and I'm afraid I can't help the section chief too much, besides, this kind of military affairs is not something that a small action captain can participate in, so I might as well stay in the island city and catch Japanese spies! Besides, the bond matter hasn't been settled yet,"

"Forget about the bonds, just treat it as if it never happened!" Liu Yiban's face showed a painful expression.

"Alright! What does the section chief want me to do in Jinan? Geng Chaozhong asked.

The reorganization faction contacted Zhang Fakui, Feng God, Yan Laoxi and others, and the political and military unity conspired to reorganize the Kuomintang and overthrow the Nationalist Government in Nanjing. And Jinan is the top priority! We have an inside line to get the news that the reorganization faction intends to assassinate the principal in Jinan! So, I want you to go to Jinan with me and smash their conspiracy! Liu Yiban showed an excited look.

Not good!

Liu Yiban is pulling himself to lie down the gun!

Geng Chaozhong immediately understood Liu Yiban's intentions!

This is a great achievement, this is a great calamity!

It's not about making a fire with the killers of the reorganization faction!

At this time, both the principal and Feng Yan were trying their best to buy Han Fuqu and successively sent secret envoys to Jinan. The so-called Great War in the Central Plains was actually a major counteroffensive by the Kuomintang left faction and various warlords from all walks of life against the Kuomintang right faction politically and militarily, and it was also the aftermath of the April 12 coup!

For President Chang, the pace of reunification cannot be stopped, and if the south is stuck for a long time, a situation of confrontation between the north and the south will be formed. Japan is likely to continue to support the warlords of the North, so both sides want to do it in one battle!

And he has become a kind of existence named "cannon fodder" in the firefight between the two sides!
