He spoke kindly to the students, chatted for a while, and then left. Xiao Miao said: "Hey, it's the first time I've seen it, the policeman is so polite to us, have you seen it today, the soldiers and policemen are just dealing with the errands, and there are many people, they just pretend not to see at all." ”

"They are also human beings, and there are many people, and their consciences have not been extinguished, so they will naturally turn to us in their hearts." "Yes, some of them also hate the government's traitorous behavior, but they don't dare to say it as clearly as we do." "I see, it's because we're making too much noise, and they're afraid of causing something bigger."

Mo Xiaojie said: "If you want me to say, this shows that our propaganda has played a role, the thinking of the whole society is changing, the ruling class is not monolithic, the people within them, whether it is soldiers or officials, are all differentiating at any time, at the juncture of national life and death, it is easier to see this kind of differentiation, those who are consumed by profit and disregard for the general righteousness of the nation, will betray their relatives in this kind of differentiation, so we must use the differentiation to expand propaganda, crack down on the bad, advise the good, and educate the general, Let our team get bigger and bigger. ”

Her words were well-founded and won the unanimous approval of everyone. In the dimly lit cell of the police station, everyone discussed how to publicize the police, how to protect themselves, and how to disintegrate the enemy according to Mo Xiaojie's words.

However, the situation is moving faster than expected. The day after the students were arrested, Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University, united with the presidents of other universities to form a "group of presidents", issued a call to rescue the students, and went to the government to petition and mediate, and under the pressure of people from all walks of life, the Beiyang government released all 32 students arrested the next day.

Changsha.

On this morning, Lu Daya's mansion in Longmen Hutong was tense and busy, and the police and secret agents ran into the house one after another to report, "The number of people gathered in front of the Education Department has reached one or two thousand. "There are groups of people, all walking towards the square." "Schools and shops everywhere are closed, as if they are going to go on strike."

Lu Daya stood in the large living room, pacing for a while, sitting down and thinking for a while, his brows twisted into a big pimple. On the chair next to him, sitting a group of his own subordinates, Hua joined the army not only dressed neatly in military uniforms, but also carried box cannons on his back, as if he was going to go to war at any time.

Lu Daya knew the cause of today's outside incidents, that in Beijing, students and citizens were making trouble, and in Wuhan, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Jinan, and all parts of the country, there was a lot of noise to denounce the Beiyang government. And all this is because of the Paris Peace Conference. The eyes of the people of the whole country are fixed on the delegation attending the Paris Peace Conference, and the whole country is nervously paying attention to this word, whether to sign it or not, and there is an uproar. Today, people gather in Changsha City, and there is no doubt that it is also because of this incident.

A spy in civilian clothes came in again and reported: "General Lu, a group of students, put up a banner in the square, with the words 'Return me to Qingdao' written on it. ”

The police chief scolded, "Damn, Qingdao is a fart in Changsha, this group of chaotic people who have nothing to do is purely fed." ”

"You know what a fart," Hua Senjun glanced at the director, "At the moment, the whole country is making trouble, the government secretly ordered the mission to sign the peace treaty, which caused public anger, and these people in Changsha are not fools, can they still pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Today's incident should be expected. ”

"Hmm," Lu Daya nodded appreciatively, Hua Senjun's words were obviously brainy, which was much more knowledgeable than the police chief who was full of fat brains and only knew that he was drunk and dreamed of death. And today he is dressed in full armor, obviously "highly vigilant", ready to do his duty loyally at any time, which is very satisfying to Lu Daya.

Captain Dong of the "Talent Training Camp" stood up, "In my opinion, we should send more people to blend in with their team and keep an eye on the movements." ”

"Okay, you go and arrange it right away." Lu Daya nodded.

Captain Dong agreed and went out. Hua joined the army and offered another plan: "Is it to put the city gate under martial law to prevent the rebellious people outside the city from entering?" The last time we had a civic meeting, it was because of the loss of a large number of people outside the city who entered the city, which gave them morale. ”

"No," Lu Daya quickly shook his head, "That can't be helped, martial law, arrests, etc., can easily provoke greater civil unrest." From the perspective of the whole country, everyone is cautious, because there are too many people making trouble, and a game of chess has been formed in the whole country, moving everywhere, and the commanders of the overseers in the provinces, no one dares to kill first, because they are afraid of causing trouble. Naturally, we can't be this up-and-coming bird and attract national criticism. Ladies and gentlemen, you can't just stare at one Changsha. Look a little farther away. ”

The carved door opened, and President Yuan and President Ma of the Civic Association walked in front of and behind their feet, and Lu Daya motioned for the two of them to sit down, because these two people were not from the military and the government, they were considered "guests", so they were more polite than others. Lu Daya asked, "You two, have you seen what happened on the street today?" ”

"I see," Principal Yuan nodded, "This limelight is blowing from Beijing." ”

President Ma still didn't say a word. Sitting on a chair like a piece of wood. For this dull guy, Lu Daya had long wanted to replace him, but it was only because Principal Yuan was unwilling to come forward, and others had not found a suitable one for the time being, so he kept doing so. He suddenly remembered that "Master Hu", this young man reacted quickly and had a clever brain, but his attitude was not too clear, could he take advantage of it?

"What is that antique bolt doing?" Lu Daya asked.

"In the antique shop, I saw him yesterday and was collecting antiques." This time, President Ma opened his mouth, "Why don't I go find him?" He looked at Lu Daya, "General Lu, you see, I'm an old dizzy, my head is pure and forgetful, thanks to your love, let me be the president of this civic association, in fact, I feel incompetent, can you let a young man do it?" In my opinion, the surname Hu is a good seedling......"

"Go get him." Lu Daya ordered Hua to join the army.

A bespectacled officer stood up from his seat, "General Lu, I don't think there's a need to be too anxious about this matter, let's just sit on Diaoyutai and just do it." ”

Hua Senjun glared, "They want to make trouble, can we also sit firmly in Diaoyutai?" ”

"It's up to them to make trouble. The root cause of this incident has nothing to do with our Hunan at all. Their spearhead is aimed at President Xu in Beijing, or more precisely, to those student dolls in Beijing, why should we be a shield for Lao Xu? As long as they don't attack our military and political facilities, I think we can just turn a blind eye and close one eye for the time being. ”

Lu Daya listened to what he said and nodded lightly. (To be continued.) )
