The first on the list is Hu Hanmin, and the other Sun Ke, Wu Chaoshu, Deng Zeru, Xu Chongzhi, Liang Hongkai, Zou Lu, Lin Sen, etc., are either members of the Central Committee or military generals. After a long time, He Zhenhan said bitterly: "No, we must not do this without the consent of the principal." ”

Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "You can't let the principal know." ”

Facing the stunned He Jinhan, Zhuang Jihua further explained: "It is precisely because this matter is taboo that it must be hidden from the principal; Once exposed, it can be said that we acted without authorization, and it has nothing to do with the principal. To put it simply, if this is done, the principal will attack, and if it fails, we will be responsible. ”

He Zhenhan was shocked, he looked at Zhuang Jihua incredulously, he suddenly understood that Zhuang Jihua had thrown him to a dangerous juncture. Zhuang Jihua will not take any responsibility, he is reorganizing the Sichuan army, and the intelligence department is in charge of He Jinhan, and he should not be the scapegoat.

Thinking of this, He Jinhan's heart was full of bitterness, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to sacrifice him. But what he didn't know was that the reason why Zhuang Jihua dared to do this was because he knew that Chiang Kai-shek could not collapse, even if this matter failed, at most it would be degraded for a few months, and then Chiang Kai-shek's position would be stable, and the rewards would be so rich that it was unimaginable. This is also a gift from He Jinhan, a real Whampoa talent, who has always obeyed him.

However, He Jinhan is also a talented and agile person after all, and he quickly found a way to deal with it.

"Cultural Revolution, although this plan is very good, I am afraid it will be difficult to implement it." He said carefully that he did not dare to refuse directly, otherwise once it reached the ears of Chiang Kai-shek, he would be regarded as disloyal, or at least an evaluation that he did not dare to bear, leaving hidden dangers for future development: "These are the veterans of our party, they have experience in long-term struggle, and the people around them are all under investigation, and it is difficult for us to enter their side for a while." But I have an idea, you should take a look at this first. ”

After speaking, He Jinhan returned to the table and showed Zhuang Jihua the file he was reading when Zhuang Jihua came in. Zhuang Jihua felt that He Zhenhan had some truth in what he said, and it was impossible to break into these people in the short term.

Turning over the file, Zhuang Jihua looked at this incident and read a piece of information about the Wenhuatang Club, which introduced the political purpose of the Wenhuatang Club, its members, the places where it often held activities, its main publications, and so on.

"The Mandarin Hall Club openly claims [***]!" Zhuang Jihua felt that there was something unusual about this club, which included Sun Ke, Wu Chaoshu, Zou Lu and other members of the Kuomintang Central Committee, who were known as rightists, and Zhuang Jihua did not even find a leftist or centrist in the list of members.

"What do you mean...?" Zhuang Jihua asked He Jinhan.

"It's hard to send people to them, but it's much easier to send them to clubs that they go to a lot of times, and even if they come to an eye, they can be excused." He confessed his plan.

"If there's a next assassination, will they negotiate it in a place like the club?" Zhuang Jihua asked rhetorically, he felt unsafe.

He Jinhan was asked, obviously this is impossible, who would take the assassination plan to a public place like the club to discuss unless he is crazy.

"At least we can find some clues." After a long time, he argued: "Besides, won't we be able to get into them for a while?" This is also a way to benefit from the non-existent solution. ”

"Well, it's okay, it's all right, on the one hand, send people into the club, on the other hand, try to get into their families, servants, cooks, gardeners, all of them, I don't believe that their homes are seamless, and it's better to buy ready-made." Zhuang Jihua said hatefully that he had a sense of urgency.

"Okay, let's do it." He Jinhan nodded in agreement, but he was terrified in his heart.

After Zhuang Jihua left, He Jinhan paced back and forth in the house, he really couldn't make up his mind, doing it must be risky; Don't do it, the principal and the party representatives in case.... Faced with a dilemma, he finally decided to probe Chiang Kai-shek's tone.

After thinking clearly, He Jinhan sorted out the information about the Wenhuatang Club, and then dialed Chiang Kai-shek's phone.

"Report to the principal, there are some things I want to report to you individually."

"What is it?" Chiang Kai-shek asked on the phone.

"Some ideas about the work of the Intelligence Section." He Jinhan did not dare to reveal half a word on the phone, the phone call was not confidential, and Zhuang Jihua had repeatedly stressed that the intelligence department's confidentiality manual also prohibited talking about any work on the phone.

Chiang Kai-shek was obviously hesitating on the other side of the phone, and after a while, Chiang Kai-shek said a little reluctantly: "Okay, you can come here." ”

After listening to He Jinhan's report on the Wenhuatang Club, Chiang Kai-shek frowned and asked, "Is this club melancholy special?" ”

"The students believe that they are related to the Dongpo Lou incident." He Zhenhan replied solemnly: "There are two reasons, the Mandarin Hall Club is calling for [***], and the principal supports the policy of accommodating the Communist Party; Second, there were many officers of the Cantonese Army in Wenhuatang, and they opposed the president's proposal to rectify the army's finances. Many of them had served in the civilian army, and they were adept at assassinating political opponents. ”

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment and then asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"The students are going to keep them under surveillance." He Jinhan said.

"How are you going to monitor?" Chiang Kai-shek became alert, and he sniffed a strange smell.

"Monitor their activities, and—" He Jinhan stammered slightly.

"What else?" Chiang Kai-shek asked calmly.

"Spy on their families, this is the suggestion of the Cultural Revolution." He Jinhan had no confidence and used Zhuang Jihua to enrich his confidence.

Hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek looked him up and down with a stern gaze: "Zhuang Jihua is so bold, even the members of the Central Committee dare to spy on him without authorization, he is simply bold." As he spoke, Chiang Kai-shek slapped his palm on the table and stood up with an angry face: "Lawless, bold, and unlawful, I will punish him!" I'm going to punish him severely. …。 ”

In the face of the angry Chiang Kai-shek, He Jinhan didn't dare to interject, just stood there silently, at this time he felt lucky, fortunately he had more eyes.

He Jinhan, who thought that he had got Chiang Kai-shek's true thoughts, returned to the intelligence department in a relaxed mood and began to arrange how to infiltrate the club; He didn't tell Zhuang Jihua because he felt that Zhuang Jihua was unlikely to return to the intelligence department. But what he didn't expect was that Chiang Kai-shek sat heavily on the chair after he left, talents, how scarce talents like Zhuang Jihua were.

In the years since, whenever He Jinhan thinks back to today's events, he scolds himself for being a pig.

At the same time, Wang Jingwei, Liao Zhongkai, and Chen Youren arrived at the official residence of Borodin, chief adviser to the national political axe, and Chen Yannian, secretary of the Guangdong District Party Committee, Su Zhaozheng, commander-in-chief of the strike, and Deng Zhongxia, adviser, arrived one after another.

After listening to Wang Jingwei's idea of replacing the customs with a company, Borodin was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Incredible, you Orientals are really incredible, this is a brilliant idea." ”

Liao Zhongkai, who thought that Borodin would oppose it, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but Chen Youren was obviously a little surprised, he did not expect Borodin to comment on such a trick, but Su Zhaozheng and Deng Zhongxia were a little incomprehensible, because the method of struggle against imperialism proposed by the strike committee was to ban foreign goods, and in this way, the ban on foreign goods would not be in vain.

"Davali Sisu, Davali Xideng, opposing imperialism must also pay attention to tactics, and it is necessary to have flexible and intelligent tactics, especially when the imperialist forces are still very strong." Borodin explained to Su Zhaozheng and Deng Zhongxia: "Dividing and disintegrating the enemy will make the powerful enemy weak, and treating the Western powers differently will divide the imperialists and isolate Britain, and this strategy will add some assurance to our victory." ”

Borodin made the final decision, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party quickly reached a consensus. A few days later, the tide of protest against the customs closure quickly spread in Guangdong, and a series of demonstrations appeared outside the customs buildings in Guangzhou, Chaoshan, Dongguan, and other places, and the slogans of overthrowing imperialism were mixed with some bricks from time to time and flew into the customs building, and the customs officials' residences were also covered with slogans, and the British customs officers quickly took their families to live in the Shamian Concession, so more foreign customs officers quickly followed, and within three or four days, the foreign customs personnel of the Guangdong Customs ran away. Statements are more important to them than anything else.

In the midst of the protests, an import and export service company was quietly established, and the company quickly set up offices throughout Guangdong, coincidentally, the company's offices are usually located near the customs, and some of them are even opposite the customs.

Just after the foreigners fled Guangzhou, the Nationalist Axe announced that ships and goods from other countries could come to Guangdong, except for British cargo, British ships, and ships that had docked in Hong Kong.

The first person to hear the news rushed to the economic animal of the previous life, the book. The Fukuda Maru freighter carrying thousands of pieces of cotton cloth docked in Guangzhou, and soon a few people in suits came to the ship claiming to be employees of the Guangdong Import and Export Company, to help them handle import and export affairs, of course, this request was rejected by the captain and the cargo owner, they did not need such help, the staff of Zhiman Co., Ltd. had already been arranged, but I did not expect that the staff who came out of breath was very attentive to accept the help of the import and export company, and after these people left, the staff told the captain that there was no help from this company, The company's goods can't be sold in Guangzhou at all, and they can't even get off the ship, how much they charge, the businessman cares about the cost, it's the cost, it's not much, it turns out that the customs collects how much, how much they charge, the staff told them with a wry smile. The captain and the owner of the ship suddenly realized.

It suddenly dawned on the British, as well as the customs they controlled, so the director of the Guangdong Customs reported to the Yanjing General Commissioner what happened in Guangdong, and after the General Commissioner informed the powers, he protested to the Yanjing political axe, accusing the Chinese political axe of forcibly taking back the customs is a denial of the Xinchou Treaty, an infringement of the interests of various countries in China, a trampling on international law, a challenge to world civilization, a moral degradation, a shameless act, and a criminal ......, and calling on all countries to take action to stop the despicable behavior of the Guangdong political axe, Return the world to the laws of civilization.

At the same time, the Yanjing General Customs ordered all the foreign personnel of the Guangdong Customs to return to Guangdong to prepare for the resumption of customs, but they did not expect that these foreigners had just set foot on the land of Guangdong, and they were greeted by eggs and tomatoes, and tens of thousands of protesters surrounded them and chanted protest slogans, making it difficult for them to move an inch.

The Yenching Legation issued a diplomatic statement to Guangdong, pointing out that the forced withdrawal of the customs by the Guangdong political axe violated the relevant provisions of the Xinchou Treaty, and demanded that the Guangdong political axe resume the normal operation of the customs as soon as possible.

Chen Youren held a press conference on behalf of the Kuomintang, at which he replied to the statement of the Yenching Legation in the form of a public statement.

"First of all, I want to state that the national political axe is the only legal political axe in China, and the Yanjing political axe is illegal, and he cannot represent the Chinese people; Secondly, the incident was deliberately provoked by the foreign powers, and the Guangdong Customs announced the suspension of customs without the consent of the Nationalist Axe, and soon left Guangdong and returned to the Shamian Concession or Hong Kong. ”

"The purpose of the closure of the Guangdong Customs is to hit our country economically, and the public protests are of course, but the Guangdong Customs has left its post without permission, which is an internal matter of the Customs, and has nothing to do with the national political axe, as for the forcible recovery of the Customs, you reporters only need to go to see the Customs Building, the Customs is still closed, and the Customs Building is still closed."

"I would like to tell certain imperialists that we are not afraid that there will be no customs, and that merchants from all countries can still come to China to trade, and that without tariffs, the prices of goods can still fall a lot, which is good for businessmen, and I want to tell businessmen from all countries that they are welcome to trade in China."

"At the same time, I would like to remind you that due to the unauthorized suspension of the Guangdong Customs, which has caused huge losses to the national government, the customs must compensate, otherwise we would rather be jade than complete, and would rather stop the customs forever."

"Some people say that import and export companies are non-governmental commercial activities, and the market economy is inconvenient for political axes to intervene, and businessmen from various countries can completely disapprove of their services."

Of course, it is impossible not to accept it, and the import and export companies continue to charge their fees. Soon two more import and export companies appeared on the market, and before the Chinese and foreign businessmen had time to be happy, they found that they were charging the same amount. Of course, there are also people who want to apply to set up such a company, but their application is not followed at all.

The legation was dumbfounded, they were gentlemen who had never encountered this kind of thing, of course, some people were secretly happy, such as the ministers of Ben, the United States, Germany and other countries. In response to the British proposal to jointly intervene in Guangdong, while the legation was discussing, the Nationalist Axe announced that the Nationalist Axe would restart the merger of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway and the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, and at the same time announced an ambitious economic revitalization plan, in which the Nationalist Axe would invest in the construction of ports, roads, hydroelectric power stations, and the construction of a railway from Guangzhou to Nanning.

"Where do they get so much money?" The U.S. minister asked in surprise when he received a request from an American company to help him win the bid.

"Now that the customs duties of Guangdong Customs are all theirs, of course they have money." The representative said with a wry smile.

"Cunning Orientals, stupid Englishmen." The minister understood, and cursed in a low voice: "Can that little money be used to repair so many projects?" ”

"I'm afraid not, but they said it's a plan, a five-year plan. Mr. Ambassador, if this development continues, I don't think the Yanjing political axe will last for a few years. On behalf of the soot of the bombardier: "A new China is rising in Guangdong." ”
