Chapter 12: Freemasonry

As a result of the loans, roads were being built in the Kuomintang area, but mainly the British and Japanese, and the United States was in an economic crisis and could not move. But Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets, is still the most powerful country in the world.

Although road construction had not yet begun, British penetration into Tibet and Yunnan was rapid. A large number of British and Japanese engineers and surveyors entered the national area for surveying and mineral exploration. Yunnan is no exception.

It's just that the treaty loans are mainly used in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou. Guizhou, Yunnan Province was a loan provided by the British who negotiated with Yunlong alone, and it was only repaid with minerals in Yunnan.

In addition, many missionaries also came to the Kuomintang to use loans to build church schools in the name of overseeing the central government. At the same time, Freemasonry began to infiltrate the national territory. Kunming naturally has it. Lu Han was accompanied by a Filipino Chinese named Longge, a master stonemason.

Since China is a Fellowship or a Freemason, its actions are not secretive. So Darkmoon knows something about their members. So although this Mr. Runge is very low-key. There are also people who were recognized by the Dark Moon and told Liu Hui.

From Panzhihua to Xichang, the road has taken shape. The first thing Zhang Chun did when he arrived in Panzhihua was to cut the ribbon on the Jinsha River Bridge. It is a reinforced concrete box arch bridge with a main span of 138 meters. The bridge is fifteen meters wide. In the eyes of Deng Xixian, Liu Xiang, Lu Han and others, this is a magnificent bridge. But Zhang Chun knew that such a bridge would probably change dramatically with the development of Panzhihua steel technology.

So Zhang Chun was not as excited as he imagined.

Longge paid great attention to the bridge and the urban pattern of Panzhihua.

He was supposed to be calculating what the hell this was for, just an education city? A huge open space carved out of the city's transportation system. Apparently not only for greenery. Some of the low hills look like they need to be bulldozed. In addition to small power plants, there are also large coal-fired power plants. The amount of electricity, which far exceeded the school's electricity load, made him suspicious.

When the group walked towards the government building. The red silk cloth in the hand of an ordinary-looking waiter seemed to be blown by the wind.

The red silk cloth blocked the eyes of most people, including Zhang Chun. So Zhang Chun didn't see what the waitress did to Longge.

Longge didn't react much, just turned around and politely smiled at the waiter. The waiter put the red silk cloth away, smiled apologetically, and walked away with his companion. Everything seems to be normal. But Zhang Chun knew that Longge was finished. Because his heartbeat has changed, so has the swing of his arms and legs as he walks. Maybe he was just feeling a little tired and a little hot. He unconsciously sent the sleeves of the neckline.

Zhang Chun was very warm to the guests, but treated Lu Han coldly. and asked Ye Jianying about the situation of the troops. Some of the words are also ambiguous. This made Lu Han's face bad all the time.

That's what Zhang Chun wants. But Luján wasn't the focus of his attention. Runge is, his condition is getting worse, and his heart seems to be blocked by something. The heart rate is no longer maintained. After taking the seat, he sat on the stool and fidgeted a little, sweating all the time on his forehead. This made Luján ask very strangely: "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

Runge whispered, "It seems to have some typhoid fever." ”

Lu Han said, "Eat a little more ginger, and the banquet is over." We'll go back to Kunming right away. I think Zhang Weimin is going to be ruthless against Yunnan. ”

Long Ke wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I don't see it." ”

"How?" Luján asked.

"The road hasn't been built yet." Runge's answer was simple.

Lu Han thought for a moment and nodded: "What is the purpose of Zhang Weimin's actions?" ”

"It's hard to say, but I doubt there should be a large mineral here, otherwise what would you do with such a city?"

"Not for education?"

"Definitely not, I heard that there are four industrial bases in Wuhan, two are iron ore, one is aluminum, and one is silver. I'm guessing it's not iron ore here. It's a gold mine. ”

"Gold mines?" Luján's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Xinmin Bank except for issuing silver coins. Gold coins are also issued. The Belgians discovered gold in Henan, but it was not mined, and Zhang Weimin did not mine it. Xinmin Bank issued quite a few gold coins and I doubt they have enough gold reserves. There were not many rich people in the Wuhan government, and the rich people fled to the central control area. ”

"I understand this, Zhang Weimin is warning me not to act rashly." Luhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Runge's face began to redden, and it seemed that there was something wrong with the flow of blood, and his hands and feet were shaking slightly. It's just that he didn't even notice the shaking.

Like Zhang Chun, Lizhi noticed Longge's abnormality. And I also heard the whispering of two people. After finishing his speech with Zhang Chun, he consciously drank a little fruit wine. The two of them got tired and left. The rest was handed over to Deng Xixian and Liu Xiang.

"It's a little louder this time, there are at least five people in Darkmoon."

Lizhi said with a smile.

Liu Hui said: "Eight." There are three more on the periphery. ”

"It doesn't matter if this dragon kills or not." Zhang Chun said lightly.

"Why you killed, I don't know, but Dark Moon won't kill people casually, kill him, it must be that this person is very dangerous." Liu Hui had been following Zhang Chun, and the members of the Dark Moon were using gestures, so Liu Hui didn't know when they decided to kill Long Ge. But there was something abnormal about Runge's body, which she only knew.

"This man is so powerful? He doesn't know kung fu, and he's obviously not a killer. That is, he must have outstanding talents in some areas. Lizhi whispered.

Zhang Chun nodded: "This person is very smart, he saw that Xinmin Bank may not have enough gold reserves, but fortunately Huang Liling and the others have contracted." Otherwise, with the financial resources of Freemasonry, it is enough to cause losses to Xinmin Bank. Who's in charge of the Dark Moon, I need to know to what extent Freemasonry is now. ”

Lian Yunqi looked like an ordinary worker, and almost all of these people in Darkmoon had learned how to hide in the environment. In the crowd, they are more like ordinary people than ordinary people, ordinary people make people ignore their existence. He brought complete information on Freemasonry.

Freemasonry entered China in a big way with the opening of the door after the Opium War, and overseas Freemasonry associations such as England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Massachusetts in the United States and later the Philippines established branches in China one after another, first in Shanghai, Ningbo, Tianjin, Jiujiang, Qingdao, Weihai, and then in the inland cities of Nanjing, Beijing, Harbin, and Wuhan.

When Samuel. After Rosengen was appointed provincial chief tutor of the British Freemasons in China by the British General Assembly, the China District Headquarters was established in 1847 and was divided into North China and South China in 1875.

Far Eastern Cathay Pacific was founded in Hankow in 1901, but after Zhang Chun reclaimed the concession, it was abolished and its personnel were transferred to Shanghai.

Freemasonry was the most powerful and influential in Hong Kong and Shanghai. It is followed by Tianjin, Qingdao and Weihai. Qingdao and Weihai were surrounded by the People's Revolutionary Army and were in a state of hostility, and the Freemasonry forces in Shandong withdrew one after another. Some churches and churches also withdrew. But there are still people who stay in a very secret identity and infiltrate the south of Longhai River.

After the Battle of Shanghai, friendship agreements between China and Japan, China and Britain, China and the United States, and China and France were signed one after another. Freemasons carried out a massive expansion in the national control area. This has to do with the attitude of Chiang Kai-shek, who, after converting to Christianity, adopted a sanctioning attitude towards Freemasonry. On the contrary, Wang Jingwei neither supported nor opposed Freemasonry, and maintained a certain degree of independence.

The Freemasons were supporting Chiang Kai-shek's control of the army and the economy, and it was only a matter of time before they returned to power.

Although the Freemasons adopted a blockade attitude towards the CCP's jurisdiction, the infiltration did not stop. With the increase of Wuhan's foreign trade, the proportion of foreigners in the population is also gradually increasing. This opened up an opportunity for Freemasonry to enter. Freemasonry first infiltrated the banks and government offices. It's just that they are smarter and do not directly develop members, but spread Western financial theories.

This led to the debate in August about whether finance should contract, or whether to open branches abroad, or whether to use barter or currency transactions.

The Freemasons once tried to get close to the Xinmin Mint, but were intercepted by the people of Darkmoon. This makes the entire core technology area in central Hubei become the object of key protection of the dark moon.

Darkmoon's core personnel are developing too slowly, but the peripheral organizations are developing well, and they can already monitor Freemasonry. The danger of Runge is that he is the one who orchestrated the run on the Xinmin Bank, and is the mentor of the Freemasons who infiltrate the jurisdiction.

Zhang Chun looked at the list of Freemasonry members and frowned. Because it has reached a fairly high position in the banking and government systems.

"Starting with Longe, take out all the outside lines of these people, they know that they are exposed, no matter how stupid they are. The rest is up to them. If you run away, take it away. (To be continued......)
