The office of Guo Enzhong is located in the Glorious Hotel next to the Hankou Railway Station. After a simple tidying up, the living room was transformed into an office area by his subordinates. The radio station was put up, the mechanical typewriter was pressed, the map along the Chuankou Railway was hung, and the telephone lines in Hankow were connected.

He stood in front of the map with a solemn expression. He was thinking about the current situation, and frankly the demands of these workers were not excessive. Wang Dujun, a bastard, has indeed pitted the people of Hubei too hard in recent years, and now it is only the workers who are on strike without stirring up the people's uprising is a blessing in misfortune.

The most important thing at the moment is to prevent the convening of this enlarged meeting, once the Sichuan-Han Railway collapses, the abolition of the people's livelihood problem is only one aspect, and more importantly, those warlords in Hunan and Sichuan will also be restless, and the most important thing is that now Sun Bald has been caught between the Zhejiang army and the Guangdong army, if the two sides are connected to form a chain reaction, then the entire southern territory under my direct control will be chaotic, and it is not impossible to even be conquered.

"Report, Director Liang of the Hankou Police Department has arrived." The secretary said.

Hall Chief Liang half-bent over and walked in, "Hello envoy. Director Liang saluted.

Guo Enzhong motioned to Director Liang to sit down, "Director Liang, let you make a special trip, it's hard work." I have called you here this time mainly to ask you two things, the first thing, I would like to know what you think of this enlarged meeting of the Hankow Workers' Union. ”

Director Liang swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, "These workers are a group of people, don't worry about the envoy, I will send my people to garrison along the railway, and if any worker dares to strike, I will arrest him and put him in the police station." ”

Guo En nodded again, "It's not easy for Director Liang to have this job enthusiasm." It's just that I heard that most of Director Liang's subordinates are busy with the work of imposing martial law on Hankou City, so they are separated? Also, Hankou City is only allowed to enter but not to leave, what is going on? ”

Director Liang had already prepared, "That's right, my wife died unfortunately, and when my family held a funeral, suddenly a group of revolutionaries came in and killed many sages in Hankou. I have specially ordered the whole city to be under martial law to prevent further massacres by the revolutionary party. ”

"Hahahaha." He laughed, "Why did the revolutionaries go to your funeral to kill people?" ”

Director Liang didn't know how to deal with the words in his words, so he had to be silent.

The envoy stood up and patted Director Liang's arm, "Brother, I heard that the Tiger Head Gang is holding an auction here in Hankou, and they want to auction the jade seal of the previous dynasty, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Director Liang knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to admit, "Yes! ”

"You are an official appointed by me in Beiyang, why do you help a Jianghu gang organization to do this kind of thing, are you usually idle? Don't you even have time to take care of the big and small strikes on the railroad in normal times? He slapped the table hard. Let me tell you Director Liang that martial law in Hankow will be lifted immediately, and the common people will not even be able to eat food now, do you know that this enlarged meeting of workers is directly related to your martial law in Hankow. ”

"Special envoy, you misunderstood, Wang Huzi, the leader of the Tiger Head Gang, and Wang Dujun are in-laws, and Wang Dujun instructed me to cooperate with him in the auction in Hankou, and his subordinates are helpless." Director Liang put everything on Wang Dujun.

"You pot is really good, as soon as the Kawaguchi Railway incident broke out this time, Wang Dujun was pointed out by Qianfu, you pushed the problem on him, and it was really just right for him to carry this black cauldron." He applauded and praised him.

Director Liang took a deep breath, "Special Envoy, you can't hide anything from your eyes. I have selfish intentions in this auction in Hankou, but I am for our Beiyang and our direct family. If the jade seal falls into the hands of others, then a farce like Zhang Xun's restoration may still be staged. If I can get the jade seal and present it to Beijing, it will play a great role in curbing the problem of perverse behavior in my whole China. "Director Liang has raised this issue to a very high level.

Guo Enzhong didn't believe Director Liang's nonsense at all, and what he was most worried about at the moment was not the jade seal, but the solution of the Kawaguchi railway problem. This Director Liang is now the head snake of Hankou, and it is not appropriate for him to make the relationship too stiff. Eun's solemn face became gentle. "It turns out that my brother has such hard work, and I blame you wrong." He walked to the window and looked at the railroad tracks outside, "The railroad is the most important lifeline for our poor country. Hankou is a place where the sea and land transportation is wrong, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. I have come this time to make sure that the workers' strike dies down. ”

"Special envoy, please rest assured, our police system will fully cooperate, where you point, we will hit!" Director Liang saw that the envoy's words eased, and he was shrewd and immediately expressed his loyalty to the envoy.

"I have just met with the workers' representatives. This group of people is not simple, they have their own organization, their own opinions. My initial thinking now is that they must not be allowed to hold a conference. Now I need your police to cooperate with me, find out the leaders of these workers for me one by one, understand them with reason, move them with emotion, and let them take the initiative to cooperate with us to resume work. As long as a few of them are taken down, the remaining workers will naturally become a mess without the pull of these grassroots people. When the time comes, we will use the policy of softness to appease, and I believe that this will be effective. ”

Director Liang pursed his lips, "Your Excellency, these railway workers are the people of Diao, and it is difficult to find out that they are easy to make them submit, when you see it is necessary." Director Liang gestured around his neck.

The envoy coughed twice, then took a cup of tea and took a few sips, "Hankou is currently in charge of Director Liang, and I am a layman in how to implement and operate it, and you are an expert in this area." I've got one here, and it has to be fast, effective, and safe. We must solve the problem without further aggravating the contradictions between us and the workers. This degree needs to be controlled by you personally, and my second thing is finished. ”

"Don't worry, Director Liang, I will definitely do it clean." Hall Director Liang bowed to the situation, and then left the Glory Hotel. He sat in the car under the escort of his entourage, took off the hat above his head, and took a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his head. "How do you find these workers' leaders? Call Zhang Damin to me, I have something to arrange for him. ”

The attendants in the car did not speak for a long time.

"What's wrong? Didn't you hear me saying that I was looking for Zhang Damin? Director Liang repeated the words again.

An attendant said, "Director, let's treat Zhang Damin's daughter-in-law like that, can he still help us?" ”

"Alas, it seems that we are still in a bit of a hurry to deal with his daughter-in-law. However, I have seen through Zhang Damin, he is cowardly to the bone, as long as we lure us with interests, he will definitely give in. He has been a patrolman for many years, he knows the situation on the railroad well, and we need him. ”
