Chapter 597: Outbreak II

readx; On the side of a certain avenue in Shanghai, there is a three-storey building that is the same as the surrounding buildings, from the side of the road, this building is not much different from the surrounding office buildings, there are people in suits at the gate from time to time, these people with briefcases look like they are the same as other office workers in the surrounding companies, there is not much difference, but unlike other buildings, there are several serious people at the door of this building watching everyone in and out.

If you look closely, you can also see that there are several small holes in the back of the guard, and if there are soldiers who are well versed in the layout of the fortifications, you can see at a glance that these small holes are the firing ports of the guns.

In an office on the second floor of the building, a middle-aged man about forty years old with a bare head stood respectfully, and behind the desk in front of him sat a man in his thirties with a beard. This man is none other than Chen Cai, who makes most people frightened and wants to tear off his bones one by one.

"I have been very satisfied with the work of Shanghai Station over the years, and I have always been optimistic about your work ability of Wei Run'an!"

Speaking of this, Chen Cai looked up at Wei Run'an in front of him, stared at his face and continued: "But what happened this time? ”

"As early as half a month ago, I personally instructed you, saying that you must pay close attention to that group of Kuomintang people, and you must not let them go on strike! But what's going on now? Not only did they start a strike, but it also affected more than a dozen factories in the surrounding area in just two days! How do you want me to account to the president? ”

Chen Cai is very angry now!

It is no secret that the Kuomintang wants to make a big move, and the Kuomintang wants to carry out a general strike, and the Investigation Bureau has learned the relevant news as early as half a month ago, and after reporting to Chen Jingyun, the Investigation Bureau has recently put all its forces on this matter.

While the political axe department was negotiating with major consortia to improve the workers' conditions and stabilize the workers' mood, the investigation bureau also carried out a large-scale search nationwide, arresting nearly 100 key KMT elements, but also more than 500 peripheral personnel with relevant ties to the KMT.

Even in order to carry out a large-scale clean-up campaign against the Kuomintang, the Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Department once again cooperated and set up a special working group to coordinate intelligence and operations between the two intelligence agencies. Based on this information, the Investigation Bureau further deepened its crackdown on the Kuomintang.

According to this scale of sweeping, Chen Cai was confident that he would be able to deal another major blow to the Kuomintang's strength in the country, but he did not expect that after his investigation bureau had been busy for more than half a month, he would still let the Kuomintang cause trouble, which made Chen Cai, who had already promised in front of Chen Jingyun that nothing would happen, how could he be embarrassed.

Crucially, the strike broke out not in any other small place, but in Shanghai, China's industrial and economic powerhouse. You must know that in the previous work, the investigation bureau spent most of its energy in several industrial base cities such as Shanghai, Wuhu and Wuhan, but I didn't expect the Kuomintang to get things done.

As soon as Chen Cai in Nanjing learned that there was a strike in the Shanghai Economic Development Zone, he immediately arrived overnight by train from Nanjing, and strictly ordered the personnel of the Investigation Bureau at the Shanghai Station of the Investigation Bureau to take immediate action to control the situation, but after Chen Cai arrived in Shanghai, the situation was not controlled, but also spread to more than a dozen factories in the surrounding area, and the total number of strikers has expanded to several thousand, and this number is still increasing every hour.

Wei Run'an, the stationmaster of the Shanghai Station of the Investigation Bureau, lowered his head and did not dare to speak, and after listening to Chen Cai's scolding several times in a row, he estimated in his heart that Chen Cai had already scolded almost before he said: "Director, this time the Kuomintang is too cunning, five days ago, we cleaned up a Kuomintang stronghold, we have arrested at least 100 people, originally thought that the Kuomintang stronghold in Shanghai had been knocked out, but I didn't expect that the Kuomintang had a second stronghold in Shanghai, and according to the situation of the emergency collection in the past two days, The people in these new strongholds were not students and other groups of people who were effective for the Kuomintang, but workers in the factories. That's why they took advantage of the loophole! ”

Chen Cai was too lazy to listen to his explanation, now that the matter has come out, what is the use of explaining this, what is the important thing now is how to control this matter.

"How about the contact with the Shanghai Municipal Axe and the local garrison?" Chen Cai is here to solve things this time, but it is not as simple as just losing his temper.

Wei Run'an said: "I have already told the local garrison and the Shanghai Municipal Axe about the relevant situation!" They've got a deal to do it! ”

Although this matter was carried out by the Investigation Bureau at the beginning, the Investigation Bureau was only an intelligence agency after all, and most of its work was concentrated on intelligence spying and arresting the backbone elements of the Kuomintang, and once these strikes were organized, the Investigation Bureau had no choice but to inform the political axe and the military of the relevant information.

"The current situation is beyond the control of the Investigation Bureau, and the related work has been taken over by the political axe and the military, but don't think that this will be fine, the next Shanghai station will continue to deepen the work, provide enough intelligence and consultation to the military and the political axe, in addition, I want to know, who is the leader of the fucking strike this time, once it is found out, the leader will be killed directly, but I want to see if they can continue to stop this work without anyone organizing it!"

Chen Cai's idea is simple and direct, it is impossible for the workers to organize such a thing as a strike, there must be someone who takes the lead in organizing, and this leading organization must also be a Kuomintang, of course, now it does not matter whether those who take the lead are Kuomintang or not, the important thing is that Chen Cai wants them to die.

As soon as the leader dies, the remaining ordinary workers who participated in the strike are a rabble, and the political axe and the military can easily solve these things.

When Chen Cai went to Shanghai in person, in Nanjing, Chen Jingyun also looked at the report in his hand with a heavy face, and snorted coldly while reading: "Okay! Good! Are these Kuomintang people more capable than I thought? Not only did it get started in Shanghai, but it also started in Wuhu! I'd like to see how you can get there! ”

Tang Shaoyi listened to Chen Jingyun speak like this, but he sighed in his heart, because he knew that Chen Jingyun was really angry now, and he was very angry, very angry!

He has been in the Nanjing Republican political axe system for many years, although he is not as good as Zheng Zuyin and An Hualin, these super elders, but he relied on the prestige he accumulated in the former Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang period, and after investing in the Nanjing Republican political axe system, he also successfully got the corresponding position, successively served as the vice president of the Government Council, and after Zheng Zuyin, Chen Jingyun valued him as not having too deep roots in the Nanjing Republican political axe system, so he was promoted to the post of president of the Government Council, thus becoming the leader in the civil system.

After Tang Shaoyi became the president of the Government Council, although he was not as strong as in the era of An Hualin and Zheng Zuyin, he was also the number one in the civil service, and a group of people from the old Beiyang system such as Shi Zhaoji and Gu Weijun were also on his side, so although there were many constraints, it was quite passable.

In the past few years, he has been the president of the Government Council for a long time, and he has also had a lot of contact with Chen Jingyun, so he also knows a little bit about Chen Jingyun's temper, and knows that this president, who is a lot younger than himself, usually has a calm expression, and sometimes he can smile and win over the atmosphere between his subordinates, even if there are some dull things, at most he puts on a face.

But Tang Shaoyi is really very rare when he speaks with cold air like this, and even if he is stupid, he can guess that Chen Jingyun is very angry now!

Although Tang Shaoyi knew that it was not good to touch Chen Jingyun's moldy head at this time, but several political axe officials below were watching him talk, if he didn't open his mouth in this case, the following chiefs and deputy chiefs would not be able to keep up with the talk, and even Hong Zitai, who had been liking to rely on the old and sell the old for the past few years, was close to his mouth.

I secretly said to myself in my heart, this civil official is not easy to be the leader!

"The president is angry, this time the strike in Wuhu is not large, and it has just begun, if it is handled well, it should not evolve to the point where it is as serious as Shanghai!" Tang Shaoyi had to speak at this time.

But Chen Jingyun said: "This time it's Wuhu, tomorrow it's Wuhan?" The day after tomorrow is Changsha? So what to do? Is it going to be like this every day? ”

In the face of this strike wave, Chen Jingyun has long been on guard, but no matter how well this preparation is made, as long as the welfare of workers is not improved, then this kind of sleeping will not be eradicated from the root.

"It's not a way for this situation to continue, do you think the banks should make some concessions and agree to some of the workers' demands?" Hong Zitai next to him said this, the reason why he said this is because he is to some extent the representative of several other big banks, and he said that letting other consortiums make concessions actually means that those consortiums are willing to make concessions.

Before the strike, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce had already contacted those consortia and said that they would raise the wages of the workers to appease the workers, but except for Huaxia Bank, which was controlled by Chen Jingyun, which slightly increased the wages of the workers at the request of Chen Jingyun, the other consortia all ignored the suggestions of the political axe and continued to do their own thing. However, when strikes broke out in Shanghai and Wuhu one after another, and when they saw that the strike tide would become more and more intense, those capitalists were also a little frightened, and immediately expressed their stance to Hong Zitai and others of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, saying that as long as the strike wave could be stopped, it was okay to make certain concessions.

After all, in addition to harming the interests of the country, these strikes also caused heavy losses to the capitalists, who would have to lose countless amounts of money if they did not start work for a day.

"Hmph, what did you do earlier!" Chen Jingyun snorted coldly: "Don't you think it's too late now?" And now they make concessions as soon as they strike? What to do in the future? After seeing the sweetness, will they strike every day? If you come twice every three days, then the country's industry will be finished! ”

Chen Jingyun took a deep breath: "The Ministry of Industry and Commerce and those entrepreneurs should have a good discussion about improving workers' welfare and benefits, and President Hong, you also conveyed my words to them: tell them that entrepreneurs in this strike wave should follow the footsteps of the political axe!" As for this strike, from now on the political axe side will not be too much to worry about! ”

As soon as Chen Jingyun's words came out, several political axe officials below, including Tang Shaoyi, felt a chill in their hearts, because Chen Jingyun's words had already directly said that he was going to send troops to suppress them!

When Tang Shaoyi walked out, he happened to see Ma Cheng, the chief of staff of the military, and this Ma Cheng hurriedly walked to Chen Jingyun's office.

"This time, I don't know how many people will have to die again!"
