Liu Xiaoyong's self-confidence surprised Chen Zikun, so he asked him: "Do you need me to give you some privileges?" ”

"No, Shang Fang's sword is something that saves my life after an accident, I don't need it for a secret investigation, I just ask the chief to give me a warrant for transferring personnel." Liu Xiaoyong said confidently.

"Oh, do you want to transfer troops, I'll send you the guard."

"No, I just want to borrow some young officers, seven or eight people are enough, but some are not under my command, and secondment requires formalities, so please support the commander."

"Okay, I'll give you a warrant to mobilize any personnel from all military and political organs in Jiangdong Province." Chen Zikun wrote the warrant, signed his name, and asked Liu Xiaoyong to take it for sealing.

Liu Xiaoyong saluted, turned around and went out, and found Liu Ting, the head of the secretariat: "Director Liu, there is a warrant here, please use the seal." ”

Liu Ting took it and looked at it, remained silent, asked the secretary to take out the commander-in-chief's seal for customs defense, and said, "Go home at night, I have something to tell you." ”

Liu Xiaoyong said: "Unfortunately, there is something wrong with the army, and I can't go home for the next few days." He took the warrant and walked away without looking back.

Liu Ting was a little uneasy, and found Chen Zikun to ask, Chen Zikun said disapprerovitically: "I'll put some burden on Xiaoyong, he is almost thirty years old, he is a lieutenant colonel and deputy head of the regiment, and he has to make some achievements to be promoted." ”

"But what you made him do was to offend people." Liu Ting smiled bitterly.

"Because of this, let him do it, I don't feel at ease with ordinary people, it's okay, don't you feel at ease when you do things bravely." Chan said with relief.

The sweet voice of the announcer of China Central Radio came from the radio in the corner: "Chairman Chiang and Mao Zedong signed three "Minutes of Talks", and the two sides agreed to cooperate for a long time on the basis of peace and unity, and under the leadership of Chairman Chiang, resolutely avoid civil war, and build an independent, free, prosperous and strong New China......"

Without Chen Zikun to say hello, Liu Ting stepped forward and turned on the volume knob of the radio wider, and the voice was much louder: "...... Politicization, nationalization of the armed forces, and legalization of political party equality are the only ways to achieve peaceful nation-building. ”

Chan looked at the calendar: "Today is October 10, and this agreement can be described as perfect. ”

Liu Ting said: "It's better to say than to sing, I think it's just Jiang's delaying tactics, now the Americans' planes and ships help transport the national army, quickly recover a large area of the country, and the strength has increased dramatically, and the day when it completely overwhelms *** is the day of war." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I believe that they are all sincere, at least on the date of signing, and then talk about the future in the future, it is not certain who will die, the best result is a win-win situation, the implementation of **, everyone in the parliament to decide the winner, not by whose soldiers who wins." ”

Liu Ting sneered: "Is there a competition for seats in the parliament?" In the early years, Beiping did not act in a big drama, 5,000 oceans for a ticket, and now the price does not know how geometric, *** are all mud legs, how can you have money to buy votes. ”

Chen Zikun said: "Then you mean you must fight?" ”

Liu Ting said: "There are too many grievances between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it is difficult to resolve them, but there are also many external factors. ”

After talking about politics for a long time, Chen Zikun was a little depressed: "Forget it, just manage my Jiangdong, they don't **, I'll do ** first." ”

Suddenly, Yan Su pushed the door in and said, "Chongqing telegram, appoint Ou Guangyan as the governor of Jiangdong!" ”

Chen Zikun took the case: "Old Jiang bullied people too much, Jiangdong is my Jiangdong, he sent others to pay it back, didn't he send Ou Guangyan to disgust me!" ”

Yan Su said: "There is even worse news, Gu Zhutong's five divisions have been driven to the vicinity of the provincial capital, and now it is not as good as it was back then, the central government has unified the dispatch of the army, and we can't do anything." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Strengthen the defense of the provincial capital, transfer a division from Jiangbei to prevent it from happening." ”

A day later, Chen Qilin came to ask for his resignation, and it turned out that he had received an order from the highest authorities in Chongqing to transfer him to the National Defense University for training.

Chen Zikun understands that this is also a step-by-step action by the central government, which is equivalent to cutting off his own arm.

If I guessed correctly, the next step was to use the name of reorganizing the army to embezzle the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army that had grown up during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

He sat in the office and thought about it for a long time, still anxious, so he picked up the internal phone and called Liu Ting to ask about the plan, Liu Ting smiled and said: "The Anti-Japanese War has been won, and it still maintains the name of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, isn't it true to others, it's strange if you don't withdraw the organization, our army has so much American-style equipment, Gu Zhutong has long been red-eyed, if you don't hurry up and find a way, sooner or later you will be swallowed by him." ”

Chen Zikun said: "So please come here, a female Zhuge of you." ”

Liu Ting said: "Since there is peace, the army will be dismantled, but the law and order is not good, it is still necessary to maintain a police or security force. ”

Chen Zikun suddenly became enlightened: "A good way, change the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army into the Jiangdong Provincial Traffic Police Corps, and the division commander directly changes it to the general captain, so that they will have no excuse." ”

Liu Ting said: "The Central Army was stationed in Kunming, and Wang Longyun of Yunnan was forced to step down. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek's prestige is in full swing, and the central government's takeover of the localities is also justified. ”

"I hope so." Chan sighed and lay down in his chair.

……

Liu Xiaoyong was really fast, and a month later he came to report with a thick stack of materials, with a splint on his arm and hanging from his neck with gauze.

"Xiao Yong, what's wrong with your hand?" Chen Zikun said curiously.

"Nothing, a shot." Liu Xiaoyong said disapprenowly.

"Who dares to hit you!" Chan was furious.

"Chief Chen, you'd better read the materials first." Liu Xiaoyong said, the meaning of the words is very clear, all the mysteries are in the materials.

Chen Zikun picked it up and flipped through two pages, his brows furrowed, and he continued to look down, his brows became deeper and deeper, and after reading for ten minutes, he threw the materials on the table and scolded: "It's just a group of bandits!" ”

Liu Xiaoyong's face did not change: "Sir, I shouldn't say anything, they are bandits in the first place, and they are no longer suitable for the current society." ”

Chen Zikun took a deep breath, took out the cigarette case from the drawer, put one in his mouth, his lips trembled with anger, and after thinking about it, he threw one to Liu Xiaoyong: "It's too much, I don't want to read it, you tell me." ”

Liu Xiaoyong was neither humble nor arrogant, lit a cigarette, sat on the sofa and talked eloquently, after his investigation, Jiangdong Province's reception was even more unbearable than other places, the senior generals of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army have appointed various receiving commissioners, everywhere they go is like locusts, as long as they see something, all of them are beaten into enemy and fake assets, and then taken into their own possession, many real enemy and fake assets are actually not much, but it is the common people who suffer.

"Sometimes when I fall in love with someone's daughter-in-law or daughter, I arrest my husband or father or brother, detain the hat of a traitor, and shoot me if I don't hand over someone, and more than 1,000 people are imprisoned in the prison of the police department, almost all of them are innocent, but those real traitors have turned into officials, and the three tigers in the provincial capital who were spies during the enemy and puppet period are now serving in the detective team of the police department." Liu Xiaoyong continued despite the fact that Chen Zikun's face had turned dark.

Chen Zikun slapped the table: "How does Zeng Jiao manage the police department, it's a bastard." ”

Liu Xiaoyong said: "Director Zeng was originally a water bandit, and he did his old job. ”

Chen Zikun said: "Isn't there anyone who sues?" ”

Liu Xiaoyong said: "Of course there is, but the court and the procuratorate can't manage it, and they don't dare to manage it, because these receiving commissioners all have a backstage, either from the Chen family class, or from the family class, or from Director Zeng's subordinates, who doesn't know that these people are the chief and your descendants, and moving them is equivalent to directly making enemies of you." ”

Chen Zikun calmed down and asked, "Who hit your arm?" ”

"Brigadier Chen Shuangxi shot it." Liu Xiaoyong replied calmly.

Chen Zikun felt that his hair was standing up, Shuangxi was the person next to him, he had been an adjutant for 20 years, he had been doing his best, and his moral character was also very good, he would shoot the investigators he had appointed, and he didn't know the relationship between Liu Xiaoyong and himself.

Could it be that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, these brothers under his command got carried away and went crazy!

"Why did he hit you?"

"Brigadier Chen Shuangxi raped a people's girl, and my brothers and I happened to pass by, and there was a shootout between the two sides......"

"When?"

"Last night."

Chen Zikun picked up the phone with a calm face: "Adjutant's office, call Shuangxi to the provincial capital, immediately!" ”

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes and calming down his mind, Chen Zikun picked up the materials again, and the second half was almost all paper, some of which were still bloody books, one by one, one by one, and there were many crimes.

Liu Xiaoyong sat upright, as if he had something to say.

"If you have something to say, I want to hear your opinion, what should I do?" Chan said.

Liu Xiaoyong said: "It depends on what the chief chooses, whether he wants the country or fame." ”

"How?"

"If you punish it severely, all your descendants and subordinates will have to be arrested, the army will be dispersed, the central army will take advantage of the weakness to enter, and Jiangdong will be returned to Chongqing, but you can get the support of all the people, and the future of Jiangdong will become extremely bright."

"Go on."

"If you don't punish it, or just a little admonishment, your army and your territory will be saved, at least for the time being, but ......"

"But what?" Chan's face has changed from black to red.

"But the people's hearts are lost, and it is only a matter of time before they step down."

Chen Zikun grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground, with a crisp sound, the teacup was torn apart, and Liu Xiaoyong stood upright, not squinting.

"You, you, you......" Chen Zikun pointed to Liu Xiaoyong's nose and gritted his teeth.

Liu Xiaoyong faced it calmly, and the guards heard the voice, opened the door to check, and did not dare to come in.

"You're right!" Chen Zikun suddenly laughed and sat down in his chair.

"I have been in Jiangdong for 20 years, and I have always thought that I am the great savior of the common people, but in fact, the biggest disaster is me." Chen Zikun muttered to himself, sad.
