Chapter 101: Tighten your belt and get by
In the concession, due to the previous bloody incident, there were many fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the normal operation of the concession was also greatly disturbed.
The bloodshed was soon named the cause of the gang fire, and the reason for this was that the patrol in the concession had nothing to do.
As the East China Autonomous Government once again dispatched armed police to blockade the concession in the name of protection, the youth gang elements in the concession became even more panicked.
They can't get out at first, and if they do, they may be arrested.
Especially those leaders of the Green Gang, they have backups in the files of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and once they show up, they may be arrested by land and water.
The bloody case that shocked the world was soon over.
Although various countries suspect that the East China Autonomous Government is responsible for the work, but because there is no evidence, the East China Autonomous Government has flatly denied it, and there has been no progress in the search for these militants.
The East China Autonomous Axe put on a posture that we are also victims, condemning the attack by the gangsters on the East China Autonomous Axe police.
And in words, he is determined to stand on the same front with all countries and never compromise with the dark forces.
In November, the East China Autonomous Government issued a statement saying: "If we want to achieve long-term stability in the concession, law enforcement in the concession must be handed over to the East China Autonomous Government Axe, and we have the ability to wipe out the gangs." ”
After analyzing this incident, the US political axe believes that this incident should be the result of the self-directed and self-staged political axe of East China's autonomous political axe.
Its real purpose was to wipe out the Youth Gang in Shanghai.
"No matter who did the incident, we in the United States believe that the fundamental problem lies with the gangsters, and if the problem of the gangsters can be solved, the stability of the Shanghai concession can be restored." In a meeting with ministers from other countries, U.S. Ambassador Modoma said, "Obviously, the Concession patrol has no ability to deal with these gangsters, and the only way to solve the current problem is to let the East China police enter the Concession." ”
"Are you Americans crazy? Let the Chinese police enter the concession! British Special Ambassador Zhu Erdian frowned and said.
"I think it's a good idea, because then everything can be solved, and the Chinese police are very standardized, at least they can give people a sense of security than patrolling in the concession." German Ambassador to East China said Taudemann.
"Obviously, this is a case directed and staged by the Chinese, and we can't let them succeed." The French ambassador said aloud, his interpreter learning his tone and repeating a sentence in English.
"But if this is the case, the situation in the concession may be even worse in the future, and even repeat this incident." Modoma frowned and said, "Besides, do you have any evidence in your hands?" ”
"The truth is within cannon range, isn't that what you Germans say?" Ambassador Enjiro Yamaza said loudly.
"That's what our prime minister said, but the range of Ben's cannon is not in China." German Ambassador Modoma sarcastically said to Enjiro Yamaza.
Enjiro Yamaza's face suddenly turned purple, gloomy and gloomy.
The ministers of various countries talked for a long time, but there was no unanimous opinion.
However, the British ambassador Zhu Erdian wavered a little, and no Englishman knew better than him the strength of the autonomous political axe in East China.
With the strength of the British Empire, there was no energy left to care about the Far East at this time, and a great war was about to take place in Europe.
If joint law enforcement can solve the concession problem, they can also consider it, after all, the police of the East China Autonomous Political Axe are also very regular.
…… In the end, the incident was closed, and no one found the murderer.
European countries are busy preparing for war, and the only ones who can intervene in China are the United States and the United States.
It was true that Ben wanted to intervene, but the United States did not agree.
The East China Autonomous Political Axe is a pro-American force, a force supported by the United States in the Far East to fight against the Eastern Empire, and at this time the East China Autonomous Political Axe has been able to initially confront the Eastern Socialist Axe.
This is what the United States would like to see.
U.S. investment in China has also expanded, and capital has risen to $20 million. However, China's investment in the United States appears to be more large, and its capital is at least tens of millions of dollars, but the American political axe does not care too much, and these Chinese capital investment in the United States is also subject to taxes.
The question is whether China is really open to investment in the United States, and China is indeed open to investment in the United States, and it also enjoys the same tax rebates as Chinese companies.
Moreover, only the United States and German companies enjoy such a policy, and the position of the East China Autonomous Political Axe is very clear, that is, to unite the United States and Germany, two unaligned countries.
Of course, Germany and the United States will not be able to go together, but it will not hinder the political axe of autonomy with East China.
After the ministers of various countries reported on their respective political axes, the British decided to involve the East China Autonomous Political Axe in the law enforcement of the Shanghai Concession, allowing the Chinese police to arrest gangsters in the concession.
Now that Britain has agreed, plus Germany and the United States, it is basically settled.
In December, the police force of the East China Autonomous Government entered the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession, beginning the so-called period of joint law enforcement.
However, the Chinese police who entered the concession did not obey the orders of the patrol house, and in addition to maintaining law and order on the streets, the most important thing was to openly search the casinos and the bookstore in order to arrest the gangsters and rescue the women who had been trafficked to Shanghai to do the leather and meat business.
The Shanghai Youth Gang has been dealt an unprecedented blow, and Shanghai's underground dark network has been swept away.
The crackdown ended on a happy end, but what was left behind was a cold corpse, some of the hooligans and some of the policemen patrolling the house.
…… In the administrative building, Xu Shuguo, Minister of Finance, looked at the statistics and read to the people in the venue: "This year, we have earned 700 million yuan in agriculture, 300 million yuan in industry, 160 million yuan in turnover tax, and 100 million yuan in tariff balance, plus the additional 200 million yuan in banknotes, the total income is 1.46 billion yuan, of which half of the tariffs will be used for education in other provinces, and we can spend 1.41 billion yuan." ”
"This year's finances are very rich!" The departments were overjoyed to hear this.
In the budget, according to the usual practice, one-tenth of the fiscal revenue was allocated to the Army, 100 million to the Navy, and 11 million to the Air Force.
However, this year, in terms of military spending, an additional 100 million yuan has been added to the arms reserve plan, so there is still a budget of 1.209 billion yuan.
The Navy is very satisfied with this year's budget, and getting a budget of 100 million yuan means that it can continue to build warships. The Army's military spending has increased, and it has decided to expand the number of production corps by five more this year, and to build a plan of 12 production corps.
Then, the Ministry of Education first came up with its own plan, and since the population of the seven provinces has reached 160 million, the number of people in urgent need of education has reached 20 million, nearly double that of last year.
So the Ministry of Education proposed a 600 million yuan education plan.
"600 million yuan of funds, plus the Ministry of Education's current hands of 20 million yuan, and next year's lottery is estimated to be 15 million yuan, plus fundraising and other channels, roughly can be raised to 700 million yuan, so that education is very generous." Tao Chengzhang said longingly.
"The Ministry of Education dream! You can also think of 700 million yuan. ”
"That's right! The Ministry of Education's budget last year hasn't spent it yet! How can I ask for money again this year. "The departments were very dissatisfied and condemned the Ministry of Education.
Due to the different starting points, the opinions of various departments are naturally different.
Xia Jun waved his pen, passed, and said to Tao Chengzhang: "Take out another 50 million from these funds, plus 50 million from the tariff, and we will use all of them for education in other provinces." ”
"Provinces?" Tao Chengzhang and everyone were confused.
"Chairman, isn't this a cheap outsider?"
"We can't take care of our own internal education, how can we take care of the outside!" Li Shijing asked Xia Jun in a low voice, Xia Jun tilted his head to look, then turned back and coughed, and said: "It's the same inside and outside, it's all Chinese." Of course, there are many slogans here. However, we are engaged in education in other provinces, using our education standards in East China, and the students we teach will be the same as those taught internally, and we will not lose a dime. ”
It's no loss!
But the scope of education has expanded.
Originally, the free education in the seven internal provinces made people feel very bleeding, and now they have to expand the scope of education.
"Don't worry, our investment in education will pay off in a few years." Xia Jun smiled, "Victory is in the near future, isn't it?" ”
…… The East China Autonomous Government soon announced its budget for four years.
This budget has taken many people by surprise, and the spending on education by the East China Autonomous Government has skyrocketed again, reaching a staggering 600 million yuan in budget.
At the same time, the East China Autonomous Government announced that it would allocate 50 million yuan from the 600 million yuan budget for education in other provinces, plus 50 million yuan from the customs, which is equivalent to giving up the entire customs surplus to other provinces to develop education.
Of course, the money is still used by the Ministry of Education, and the schools built are also under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education of East China, and everything is in line with East China standards.
Therefore, the children who are educated will also be intellectuals who support the autonomous political axe of East China in the future.
"Why is the Ministry of Education spending 50 million yuan to aid education in other provinces?" The reporter asked Tao Chengzhang.
Tao Chengzhang thought for a while and replied: "The chairman of the committee told me that China's development has been unbalanced, and the coastal provinces in East China are developing rapidly, and the development of inland provinces has seriously failed to keep up with the speed, so we must allocate a part of the education funds to the inland provinces. Since the education industry is still in its infancy, and there is a shortage of funds and teachers, we can only come up with 50 million yuan for the time being. In the future, no less than 50 million yuan will be allocated to other provinces in education aid every year, and if we complete the universal primary school education in the seven provinces, we will focus on universal primary education throughout the country. ”
"Doesn't the East China Autonomous Political Axe mean that all the surplus is given away?" Another reporter asked.
"Now China should be united, and the central and local governments should not be so clearly separated." Tao Chengzhang said. A reporter from a foreign media asked: "I wonder if the development of education in the East China Autonomous Government will bring about some negative effects?" ”
"There are negative effects, and we in the Ministry of Education must apologize to other departments, but education is about the future of a country, and we need to tighten our belts to develop education. As the chairman of the committee said, victory is in the near future, and our investment in education will earn dozens or hundreds of times the return in the future. ”
