Chapter 84: The Enemy of the Nation
Since the actual occupation of the entire territory of Guangxi, Zhang Shusheng has become more and more busy.
After years of development, Dongchuan District has become an important place for the militia, with more than 95% of the modern industry of the entire militia, more than 85% of the secondary and higher education institutions, the total industrial production value accounts for 91.43%, and the tax revenue also accounts for 86.2%. It can be said that Dongchuan District is the top priority in the development of the militia group.
However, with the gradual development of Guangxi, some industrial construction projects have gradually shifted to Guangxi, such as the construction of various large, medium and small mines and the construction of Tiandong Oilfield, as well as the new steelworks, refineries and petrochemical plants derived from them, which will be included in the priority development goals as supplementary plans of the Second Five-Year Plan.
On the surface, Lu Rongting only formed a strategic offensive and defensive alliance with Dongchuan District, and he himself was still the governor of Guangxi, but in fact, he had taken a back seat, and Guangxi affairs had been completely handed over to the political team sent by Zhang Shusheng.
The Guangxi management team headed by Wei Sancai and Lu Binglun, on the basis of the political team in Dongchuan District, recruited Li Zongren to serve as deputy in non-key departments under the Guangxi political axe. Zhang Shusheng had personally visited Guangxi before, and in addition to holding an important meeting with Guangxi's leading group, he also had a secret conversation with Lu Binglun and other former Guangxi officials.
At the same time as the political moves, Guangxi's military reorganization plan was also carried out simultaneously. In addition to the original army expansion plan in Dongchuan District, Guangxi will reorganize three divisions of troops separately on the basis of the original elite of the Gui line, and the military commanders and instructors at all levels will all be transferred from the militia regiments, and they will be said to be Guangxi's garrison troops, but rather the second reserve team of the militia regiments.
At this time, everyone understood that Guangxi had become the actual control area of Zhang Shusheng, although he did not ascend to the top of the command, but only sat in the most important place of the militia, but his influence had extended to the three southwestern provinces, radiating Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou.
Judging from the current situation, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou have become the world of Zhang Shusheng and Tang Jiyao, and neither the political axe of the north nor the south can spread their influence into it. One is that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and if there are any overt and covert orders from the north and south, Zhang Shusheng just let his subordinates deal with it. The other is Tang Jiyao, who is old and well-established and occupies the right time and place, while resisting the orders of the central government, he never forgets to threaten Sichuan. The relatively rich land of Chengdu and Chongqing has always been a big piece of fat in his eyes.
"It's a piece of fat."
Zhang Shusheng looked at the battle plan drawn up by the staff in his hand, and according to the above timetable, he would be able to enter Sichuan by the middle of next year at the latest and take Panzhihua. In order to avoid the Sichuan warlords coveting the huge iron ore mine under Panzhihua that can make everyone crazy, Zhang Shusheng even asked two foreign companies to come forward and use Panzhihua to open a small iron mine.
During this time, something happened that made him very unhappy. Originally, what he wanted was to give the southwestern Sichuan warlord surnamed Liu a little sweetness, and then open one or two small mines by himself, which would be enough for the time being. As a result, the warlord demanded a sky-high price, and refused to agree happily. But when Pan American Ken's International came forward, it only spent a small amount of money to reach an agreement. This made him have to be wary of a dangerous idea in the hearts of many Chinese people at this time and even for a long time to come: admiring the foreign and flattering the foreigner.
However, as the demand for steel increased, the militia's several small mines in Dongcheng District were becoming more and more insufficient, and the ore from Guangxi was too far away to be transported to Dongchuan District, so Panzhihua, which was only a river away, became his first target.
Since you don't want to give you sweetness, then you can only give you a stick.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!"
Mao Yun walked in from outside with a solemn face.
"District Chief, Vice Minister Zhao of the Special Intelligence Department has an emergency to report to you."
"Let him come in right away." Zhang Shusheng put away the battle plan, Zhao Ziyun basically didn't have anything good every time he came, and he was also mentally prepared a little first.
The things that the Special Intelligence Department is responsible for are basically less good things and more bad things. Especially in the past two years, some characters of unknown origin have gradually begun to appear in Dongchuan District. Zhao Ziyun's work is even busier, often working overtime until midnight.
"District Chief." Zhao Ziyun closed the door and saluted, then took out a document marked top secret from his briefcase and handed it to Zhang Shusheng, "Our secret report from the agent of the military and political axe lurking in Kunming said that Tang Jiyao was in secret contact with Yu himself to discuss the cooperation between the two sides, and he had made substantial progress. Unfortunately, the agent had no access to a higher level of secrecy. Tang Jiyao was too cautious this time. ”
"What!!" Zhang Shusheng didn't have time to read the report, but when he heard Zhao Ziyun's words, the teacup in his hand swayed slightly, and the tea in it rose layer by layer, and his heart was even more angry.
Cooperate?? During this period, what kind of cooperation did I have with the warlord? Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he never thought of any formal cooperation with anyone or any force in China, and it was all about all kinds of deliberate conspiracies.
From the economic to the military and political fields, he played the role of an aggressor in China throughout the early 20th century. Many people think that the invasion of China was only in the 30s and 40s, but in fact, the aggression against China in the real sense began at the beginning of the century and the 20s earlier.
Agents were dispatched to infiltrate China, secretly draw various military maps, secretly investigate the distribution of resources in various places, secretly collude with local warlords, use various conspiracies and tricks to extract economic benefits, frame national industries, buy at low prices, and crowd out national industries. From supporting the spokesperson in the south at the beginning to supporting Zhang Dashuai in the north as the spokesperson, he has never had a good mind.
Tang Jiyao is really crazy, he actually went to cooperate with him.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Zhang Shusheng's mind, judging from his pervasive actions in China at this time, it is very likely that he found Tang Jiyao. With the common means of the little devils, it is nothing more than military and economic co-optation, and then some empty checks are written, promising all kinds of lures, from Yuan Datou to the warlords in the north and south, many people have fallen into the conspiracy and tricks prepared by themselves.
Among them, the unlucky one like Zhang Dashuai, who came and went with me and said that he ended up being killed by a bombing, is an excellent example.
"Didn't your secret intelligence department catch a few special agents who went to the Sichuan-Yunnan junction to draw maps? In your opinion, what's going on here? Is there any connection? ”
Zhang Shusheng thought to himself, Tang Jiyao is also a human spirit, so it is strange that he is not cautious. In the original history, he should have been called Bo Xishan at this time, and he would be ousted by Long Yun in two or three years. But his arrival has changed so many things. Although the militia gained Guangxi, Tang Jiyao also took advantage of the various butterfly effects caused by Zhang Shusheng, and even got rid of some henchmen through Zhang Shusheng's hands, and actually used this to reorganize the army, and his power was a little stronger than before.
At this time, Tang Jiyao, facing the only enemy in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou, did not have the embarrassment of being in a hurry before, but was completely determined to obtain greater rights.
And this road to the throne of the giants of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou, and the hegemon of the southwest, in Tang Jiyao's view, only Zhang Shusheng is in the way. As long as Zhang Shusheng is defeated, Sichuan will not be a problem, and when the time comes, the east will enter Fujian and Guangzhou, and the west will be based on the southwest, which is something that can be waited.
Zhao Ziyun had already listened to the analysis of intelligence analysis experts before he came, and those analyses were also written into the report, but he still answered truthfully, "The few suspicious people who have been arrested recently, except for two spies sent by the British and French side by mistake, are all from the book, and there is a gradual increase in the trend. ”
"These spies are mainly focused on the military aspect? Political? Or is it the economic aspect? Zhang Shusheng was actually mentally prepared, although Dongchuan District is a mountainous area, it does not mean that this place can be unknown forever.
"On the political and military fronts, only a few agents operating on the Sichuan-Yunnan border have been captured, but on the economic side, espionage activities are very frequent." Zhao Ziyun briefly talked about this year's safety work, because Zhang Shusheng has attached great importance to security and confidentiality work for a long time, so not only the two departments of the Special Intelligence Department and the Commercial Special Investigation Department of Shusheng Company can be responsible for safety and security work, but also the workers in the factory also have a very high level of safety vigilance.
That's why I was arrested less than a week after I sent someone into an ordinary factory. As for the pharmaceutical factory, engine factory, high-precision factory, and other high-tech factories with stricter security work, I don't even have a chance to get in. Because the militia not only resettled the workers in a unified manner, but also conducted a safety investigation for each worker, some instruments and equipment with special surnames were also quietly placed in the factory.
Because the factories of the militia are based on the division of labor, each worker can only know a small part of the process he is responsible for, and this process may only be the smallest part of the production process.
Once, a bribed worker tried to enter the workshop at night to spy on other processes, but it turned out that the workshop was empty, but he still left evidence of his crime, and he was arrested as soon as he returned to the dormitory...... When he was arrested, this cautious Han Jian even forced himself to quibble. In fact, it is difficult to understand in his thinking, and even in the thinking of this era, that somewhere on the roof of the factory, behind a hanging light bulb, may be hiding a miniature camera...... With the gap between the times, security work has often become easier. Many of the agents were caught unknowingly. It wasn't until they arrived in the secret prison of the Ministry of Secret Services that they couldn't figure out how they were exposed.
Of course, it is impossible for the militias to tell them that it was your sneaky figure that betrayed you, that your secret radio station betrayed you, that it was yours...... Compared with the world's mainstream rogue states and vigilante groups, there is a complete gap between the times in the application of certain high-tech technologies.
Zhang Shusheng opened the report and read the statements and analysis inside in detail, as well as the copy of the intelligence sent back by the agent, half a ring, wrote a line on an order with a blue face, and handed it to Zhao Ziyun: "Immediately activate the second-level agent of the Special Intelligence Department lurking under Tang Jiyao's influence, this is the corresponding authorization password, I want to get the detailed collusion between Tang Jiyao and Yue himself within three days!" ”
Zhao Ziyun felt a pang in his heart, he only had the right to use the third, fourth, and fifth level agents of the Special Intelligence Department, and the second-level agents, first-level agents, and even more powerful agents, as the deputy minister, but he didn't even know the code names of those people. This is the first time since he took over as Deputy Secret Service Agent that a second-level agent has been used. Although the teacher seemed calm, he felt a kind of calm before his anger from Zhang Shusheng, and even he felt deep fear.
"It's not a good sign that I'm here." Zhao Ziyun said secretly.
After Zhao Ziyun went out, Zhang Shusheng smashed his fist on the table, and a good purple clay pot was smashed and flew out, falling to the ground and shattering into several pieces. Although his own student is gradually maturing, how can he foresee that this is not an ordinary incident of warlords colluding with foreign thieves, but will be a dangerous signal: he is almost ready" Little devil, if you want to play tricks in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will charge some interest first, so that you can go around without enough to eat. ”
In Yunnan, an old Ford car in Kunming drove from a distance and drove directly into the Kunming military and political axe, and a man dressed as an adjutant stepped out of the car and went directly into the overseer's office building.
"Father, I'm back." The adjutant reported to Tang Jiyao, who was fidgeting in the office. However, Tang Jiyao didn't speak, but ran to close the doors and windows in person with some trepidation, and after closing the curtains, he took a deep breath, "Xiaobei, how are you talking?" ”
"Father, these people are really too much, even if the place and time of the negotiation are set by them, I am still allowed to go alone." Thinking that when he went to negotiate these two times, he was actually covered with his head, Tang Xiaobei felt a lot of fire in his heart. But when he thought about those negotiation conditions, he even extinguished his anger, and only felt a chill down his spine. "Humph!!"
"Forget it, if you can endure the little things, let's talk about the negotiation." Tang Jiyao was also extremely conflicted in his heart, but when things came to this point, he could only do so. But for some reason, in his heart, he has a little more memories of President Yuan and several other giants who died a few years ago.
I may not have had it before, but I am about to collude with myself like them. In his opinion, he would never have been willing to do so if it were not for the great benefits. "Xiaobei, in order to prevent our father and son from being laughed at by the world, you still have to bear with this matter."
Tang Xiaobei couldn't hold back the panic in his heart that had not subsided until now, put down the briefcase, but took out a carefully placed document from his close-fitting clothes, he already knew some of the contents of the document, his mood was touched, and even his hands trembled a little, "Father, you, you see, these are the fifteen conditions they offered." ”
"Huh? Let me see. Tang Jiyao hurriedly took the file, opened it, and just finished reading the first article, and fell down. Oh my God, this is for me to sell... Sell ......"
"Father, father...... Come on, come on!! ”
