Chapter 143 The army enters the city

"Gasoline?" Director Liang was shocked, after he entered the cinema today, he felt very strange, why did there be a fire in the cinema? The second thing that made him very strange was why Zhang Damin couldn't find it? Director Liang asked the director next to him, "What about Zhang Damin?" ”

The director shook his head, "I didn't find him in the theater just now. ”

The envoy slapped the table, "What are you two muttering?" I ask you! Director Liang, what's going on with this gasoline? Did your people go in and set a fire? You're so bold. ”

Director Liang shook his head, "Special envoy, don't you dare to say this casually, I don't dare to do this kind of thing even if I have nine heads." Today I sent one of my subordinates to negotiate with the workers, and his whereabouts are unknown. I suspect the workers must have caught him. ”

The envoy said, "Find that subordinate of yours right away, and I want to know what's going on in the theater!" ”

The secretary handed over the phone, and the envoy shouted, "Don't you see that I'm busy?" Who? ”

The secretary said, "The representative of the workers, Shi San! ”

The envoy took a breath and took the microphone, and the smile on his face returned, "Hey, it's Brother Shi." ”

"Special Envoy, your police department deliberately set fires, killed and burned dozens of our workers, and illegally obstructed our workers from holding an enlarged meeting. We lodge a solemn protest! Shi's tone was very heavy.

"Brother Shi, listen to me, there must be a misunderstanding here, I told my subordinates that they only maintain order, and have never given orders for the patrol to harm you. On the contrary, our patrolman was wounded by a gun by your workers' pickets, and that is true, and that man's body is in my office! ”

"We, the workers at Hankow Station, have not yet organized a picket, and the picket you mentioned has nothing to do with us." Shi San said angrily, "This is a naked frame-up. ”

The special envoy looked at Director Liang, his eyes were full of doubts, and he continued with the microphone, "Representative Shi, this matter is very complicated, and we need to investigate this vicious case. I suggest that when the matter is not further resolved, the mood of the workers must be stable, and the stability of Hankow is the first priority at present, and you, as the representative of the workers, should have a view of the overall situation, and the overall situation is the most important! ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds, and then a voice came out, "The rights and interests of workers are the overall situation, and I hope that the special envoy will understand this." "The phone hung up.

The envoy kept shaking his head, "He actually dares to hang up on me, Director Liang!" He shouted.

"The subordinates are here!" Director Liang replied tremblingly.

"Find your subordinates right away and investigate this matter thoroughly. Let me tell you, Wu Dashuai was negotiating with the Soviets in Beijing, and if we have problems with the workers in Hankow, you will be directly responsible for this matter. The envoy said angrily.

"Yes!" Director Liang left the office in a panic. The director followed, and he stopped Director Liang. "Director, what now?"

"Zhang Damin is a bastard, he must have set the fire. He actually dared to betray me, immediately organized people, and must arrest him for me! Director Liang was furious, and suddenly his mind became dizzy, and he clutched his chest and looked very painful. The director grabbed him and said to a few subordinates, "The old mistake of the director has been committed again, you should send the director back to rest quickly, don't worry, director, I will definitely catch Zhang Damin." ”

Director Liang walked out of the hotel with the support of his subordinates. The director did not leave in a hurry, and he knocked on the door of the special envoy again.

When the envoy saw the director come in again, he asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you go to that subordinate. ”

The director looked at the people in the office and said, "My subordinates have a few words I want to report to you separately!" ”

The envoy waved his hand at everyone, "You have worked hard, go back and rest first!" ”

After everyone left, the director's humble envoy bowed and said, "Special envoy, there is definitely a conspiracy in today's matter. The subordinate who entered the cinema was a confidant of Director Liang, and after the incident, the whereabouts of this person were unknown, and as far as I know, the workers did not catch him. ”

The special envoy glanced at the director, "Do you mean that Director Liang instructed people to set fires?" ”

The director pursed his lips, "I'm not sure about this, but think about it, if Director Liang didn't approve, how could the people below dare to have this guts." ”

He was puzzled, "But what good is it for him to do this?" ”

"Of course there are benefits, you don't know the situation in our Hankou, the smuggling at Hankou Station has been very serious in recent years, arms, tobacco and Western medicine, and our director has a lot of money here. It stands to reason that we shouldn't say much about these things, after all, such a situation is too common in China. However, now that our director of the department does not hesitate to harm the interests of our authorities for the sake of personal interests, I really cannot sit idly by. The director said indignantly.

Kuatte tapped his head with his fingers, "You're a person who sees the big picture. Feel free to report to me if there's anything next. ”

The director's sowing of discord has succeeded, and the current Director Liang has fallen into a desperate situation, and he happily left the office of the special envoy. It's time to clean up Zhang Damin next.

The secretary walked in and reported, "Oh no, sir. ”

"What's the matter?" the envoy asked. ”

"I have a classmate who works at a newspaper, and he secretly brought me this!" The secretary spread a few photos on the table. It was full of photographs of patrol officers throwing the bodies of workers into the theater where the flames were burning. The envoy took a picture and was furious, "Are these people crazy? All newspapers were immediately asked to strictly prohibit the publication of these photographs. ”

The secretary shook his head, "It's too late." The newspapers have already been printed, and it is estimated that they will all be sent out by this time. Besides, we don't have anyone under us, so we can't manage the newspaper at all. ”

The envoy sighed, "Ridiculous, is this Hankou our business or his family surnamed Liang." ”

The envoy dialed, "Hey, Wang Overseer?" What, he slept? When is he still sleeping, you tell him to let the troops enter the city overnight, and there will be a big incident on the workers' side, and you will control all the patrols for me after you enter the city. In addition, I sent someone to the Liang Mansion to arrest Director Liang for me. ”

The secretary was very worried, "Sir, if you let the army in, will this further intensify the conflict with the workers?" ”

The envoy shook his head, "I can't care so much. As soon as these pictures are sent, the whole country will know that we have slaughtered the workers, and then the peace talks between the marshal and the Soviet representatives will completely collapse. We must now take the initiative to prepare for the collapse of the Kawaguchi Railway. ”
