Zhou Hexuan was really angry by the words of the Belgian consul, what does it mean that "the consuls of Japan, France and Italy all recognize the price increase as legal, and the Chinese side should not oppose it"?

It's like someone squatting on your head and and saying that all three of your neighbors agreed, and you shouldn't object to that.

If this was said by the United States, France, Germany, Britain, the Soviet Union, and even the Japanese, Zhou Hexuan would still barely figure it out, after all, several major powers have arrogant capital.

But what is Belgium?

It covers an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers, which is about the same size as Taiwan Province. The population is only 8 million (1930 data), which is not even a fraction of China's.

It was not until 90 years ago that Belgium was accepted as an independent country by the Netherlands, and it was occupied by Germany during World War I. This kind of small country can actually go to China to spread wild, and the Republic of China really has enough pockets!

The two left the restaurant, and Zhou Longguang sighed: "Mr. Zhou, although the matter has not been negotiated, I still thank you very much for your help." ”

Zhou Longguang asked Zhou Hexuan to come out for a face-to-face meeting, but he was just grasping at the life-saving straw, and he didn't have much expectations.

In the original history, the 1932 Tianjin tram price increase turmoil ended up with the Tianjin municipal government making a compromise: the Chinese side agreed to the Belgian company to raise the price, and the tram company only symbolically donated tens of thousands of yuan to charity - the charitable donation was to calm public opinion and give the Tianjin municipal government a step down.

The funniest thing is that the Tianjin Tramway Company used wage increases as a bait to support the tram workers and the party pickets to beat each other. But after the matter was resolved, he immediately turned his face and denied people, and refused to raise the salaries of his company's workers.

As a result, the storm of price increases of foreign-funded companies quickly turned into labor disputes of foreign-funded companies. The tram workers began to make trouble again, making Zhou Longguang, the mayor, lustful, and could only try to urge and coordinate the tram company to fulfill its promises.

However, the tram company refused to budge, and finally, after various coordinations, said that it was okay to raise the wages of the workers, but that the five workers' representatives who had taken the lead in the troubles must be fired. Tram workers became even more indignant and eventually went on a general strike, leaving only about 20 trams in operation in Tianjin.

Immediately after that, the tram company promised not to fire and raise wages, but in practice it was completely the opposite. They did not dismiss the workers' leaders, but they refused to allow them to go to work, and at the same time deducted the wages of all the troublemakers during the strike and the year-end double pay, and the increase in wages was not implied.

This matter has been in trouble for more than half a year, and the final solution is simply embarrassing!

The party and government authorities in Hebei and Tianjin, fearing that an international dispute would arise, went so far as to have the Hebei provincial government raise funds to make up for the arrears of wages and benefits paid by the tram companies.

It is simply impossible for a small European country with a big palm to bully China to such a degree, and the Chinese party and government bureaucrats still have to admit it.

Although Zhou Hexuan did not know the events in history, the Belgian consul annoyed him. Originally, he just wanted to help talk, and if he couldn't talk about it, he just wanted to give those Belgian bastards a little bit of a look.

"Mayor Zhou, the best is yet to come," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "Let's go, let's visit a few friends!" ”

Zhou Longguang was confused, and ran with Zhou Hexuan stupidly, not understanding what Zhou Hexuan wanted to do.

But soon, Zhou Longguang, who only officially took office in January this year, realized Zhou Hexuan's influence in Tianjin very thoroughly, this is a complete snake!

Zhou Hexuan first visited the two presidents of the Tianjin General Chamber of Commerce, then the president and vice president of the Tianjin Education Association, then visited several responsible persons of the Tianjin "Federation of Trade Unions", and then visited the responsible persons of the Tianjin Sorting out Party Affairs Membership Association (an important organization of the Party Department), and even went to the various halls of the Youth Gang in Tianjin.

Everywhere he went, celebrities from all walks of life in Tianjin paid tribute to Zhou Hexuan, and said on the spot that they would cooperate with Zhou Hexuan's actions - even without Zhou Hexuan, they were against the price increase of the tram and joined forces to put pressure on the tram company.

The various visits for two consecutive days scared Zhou Longguang, he knew that Zhou Hexuan wanted to make a big deal, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Zhou, forget it, don't make a big fuss." This Belgium is France's military ally, and if you annoy Belgium, it is easy to provoke France and provoke international disputes! ”

Zhou Hexuan was speechless and said: "I'm afraid of causing international disputes in anything, so let foreign devils do anything wrong in China?" ”

"Things can be resolved through negotiation slowly, your method is too nonsense." Zhou Longguang was already a little dissatisfied, he was afraid that Zhou Hexuan would affect his career.

Zhou Hexuan said with disdain: "If Mayor Zhou is afraid, then just stay on the side and watch a good show, anyway, he won't take off your black gauze hat." I'm not doing you a favor, I'm doing the people of Tianjin a favor, and I must take out this evil breath! ”

Zhou Longguang was really afraid, he would rather confess to the Belgians, and resolutely disagreed with Zhou Hexuan's approach, and immediately aggravated his words: "Mr. Zhou, I hope you put the overall situation of the party and the state first." Now that China is in an eventful season, there can be no more accidents, I hope you can think twice! ”

"Huh." Zhou Hexuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with this person.

What the hell is this all about? The dignified mayor of Tianjin can't even solve the foreign investment dispute, and he still needs to find people from the private sector to help. The helpers began to think of a way, but he, the mayor, flinched from the battle and began to complain that the helpers were stirring up trouble.

With such a wreck being able to be a special mayor (mayor of a municipality directly under the central government), it is no wonder that China will be made into a miasma!

……

The old town of Tianjin.

A tram drove slowly by, and when it stopped at a stop, seven or eight pickets burst out. Wearing white armbands on their arms and holding iron horns, they shouted: "Inform the citizens of Tianjin, the increase in tram fares is an illegal act without the approval of the government, which seriously affects the livelihood of the citizens." I advise you not to buy tickets in order to boycott! ”

There were police officers near every station, but these were often ignored and the pickets were left to persuade citizens not to buy tickets.

Citizens were happy to ride the train for nothing, and they poured into the train without paying. The tram company reacted quickly and stopped all trams in the old town the next day, but the trams in the concession continued to operate.

Moreover, as long as the pickets dared to go to the concession to persuade them, they would immediately be patrolled by the concession to stop them, and finally all the pickets were driven out of the concession area.

The so-called pickets were formed by the Tianjin Municipal Party Department. The Tianjin Municipal Party Department also set up a committee to oppose the increase in tram fares, which publicly advised all Tianjin citizens not only not to buy tickets to ride the train, but also not to pay for the use of electric lights, which are the same company.

In the afternoon of the next day, the tram workers again stormed the city party headquarters and engaged in bloody clashes with the pickets, injuring several people on both sides.

The strange thing is that this time the police in Tianjin did not take any action, and let them beat them in groups, and only came to arrest people when they were almost beaten.

Immediately afterwards, some patriotic thugs began to appear in the concession, shouting slogans of national salvation, lying on the tram tracks in sections to prevent the tram from running normally. The patrol of the concession could not be caught, and a batch of arrests had just been arrested, followed by another batch.

For several days in a row, all the trams in the concession and the old city were unable to run normally.

Of course, these are all instigated by Zhou Hexuan behind his back, especially the Green Gangsters, which is really easy to invite. At the beginning, Kenji Tohihara instigated two riots in Tianjin, and he also invited idle people in society to make trouble, and each person only needed to give two corners to the triangle of benefits every day, and these social dregs dared to attack the police.

Not only did some gangsters go out, but some students in Tianjin also used their spare time to organize a parade in the concession area, surrounding the Belgian consulate, and the foreign officials inside could not enter and leave at all.

In this way, a week passed, and the Tianjin Tramway and Electric Light Company suffered serious losses. However, they still refused to compromise, on the one hand, they sternly demanded that the party and government authorities in Hebei and Tianjin stop the "riots", and on the other hand, they instigated the tram workers to drive away the students and gangsters.

In the old city of Tianjin and in the concession area, there were several bloody clashes in succession, but fortunately no one was killed.

As the incident became more and more disturbing, the consuls of various countries in Tianjin sent diplomatic notes directly to the Nanjing government, believing that the security of their concession was seriously threatened.

The Nanjing Nationalist Government was under tremendous pressure in an instant, and after discussion, it sent a commissioner to Tianjin overnight to deal with the matter, which was nothing more than an attempt to admit compromise.

When the commissioner of the central government was still halfway there, Zhou Hexuan finally came forward in person, and he personally hosted the radio program again.
