Chapter 65: The Government of Mud

Wu Guozhen served as the mayor of Hankou Special City, the mayor and vice minister of foreign affairs of Chongqing, and he had been up and down for many years, and he had already become an adult.

So he was indiscriminate, and he wanted to save Kong Lingjun first, but Liu Xiaoyong was not his Shanghai policeman, so he didn't buy it at all, and still held on to the rope and didn't let go.

Kong Lingjun became angry again: "Uncle Wu, they broke into my house, killed my bodyguard and my pet dog, and kidnapped me, you have to be the master for me." ”

Wu Guozhen repeated again: "Which unit are you, quickly let go of Miss Kong Er." ”

"Don't let it go." Chen Bei came down from upstairs, wrapped in a blanket in his arms and wrapped the frightened Miss Mary, he looked at Wu Guozhen condescendingly, and didn't take the mayor in his eyes at all, "Kong Lingjun is a kidnapper, he was caught on the spot, who dares to shield the criminal." ”

Wu Guozhen was furious: "Ridiculous, I order you, release the people immediately, come on, and confiscate their guns." ”

The mayor was furious, the policemen of the mobile brigade immediately raised their guns, and the comrades-in-arms who were fighting side by side just now immediately became enemies, and the Jiangbei traffic police were weak and at a disadvantage.

With a "snap", Elizabeth pressed the shutter, and Wu Guozhen shouted: "Which newspaper are you a reporter for!" ”

Elizabeth said, "I'm a reporter for the New York Times. He turned his head and whispered to Yan'er: "Intern reporter." The two of them winked their eyebrows, clearly not taking the mayor seriously.

Wu Guozhen came to his senses, his reaction was a little overdone, if this matter was reported in the newspaper, the ground would not be washed, and he immediately changed his face and said: "The case is serious, it should be handled by my Shanghai police, you can hand over the prisoner." ”

Chen Bei wanted to say something, but Liu Xiaoyong gave him a look and pushed Kong Lingjun over: "Mayor Wu, I hope you will enforce the law impartially." ”

Wu Guozhen motioned to his subordinates to quickly take Kong Lingjun away, and Chen Bei stood on the steps and said, "Monsters who are neither male nor female, let's see you in court." ”

Kong Lingjun stopped, turned his head to look at Chen Bei, and actually smiled: "Boy, you still haven't figured out the situation, whose family is in this world." ”

After saying that, she raised her head and laughed wildly, got into the prisoner car, and the police immediately untied her rope and whispered: "The second lady has been wronged." ”

Chen Bei looked around: "Why is this ladyboy so arrogant, I knew that I shot her to death just now." ”

Liu Xiaoyong said: "Brother, fortunately you are not impulsive, otherwise it would be a big trouble." ”

The group also got into the car and sent Mary to the hospital for examination, and the diplomats of the US Consulate General in Shanghai also rushed to the hospital, fortunately Mary had no external injuries, but was frightened, and the diplomat wanted to take her back to the consulate, but she insisted on Chen Bei accompanying her, otherwise she would be hysterical.

"It's a sign of over-fright, a serious sense of insecurity." The doctor gave such a clinical conclusion, and there was no prescription, so he could only grieve Chen Bei and act as a messenger to protect the flowers.

Elizabeth choked with anger: "Mary must have done it on purpose." ”

Yan'er made a helpless statement: "No way, you two should compete fairly." ”

……

Wu Guozhen returned to the city government, first settled his aunt and grandmother Kong Lingjun, and then called Nanjing to report the good news: "The so-called ticket kidnapping incident is a pure misunderstanding, and it has been satisfactorily resolved, and Miss Truman is safe and sound, and her mood is very stable. ”

At the command center of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, a round of applause rang out, and Song Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek glanced at each other, and they were very satisfied with Wu Guozhen's improvisation, which not only saved the country's face, but also gave an account to the friendly countries.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately arranged for his wife, Mrs. Soong Meiling, to go to Shanghai on his behalf to express his condolences to Miss Truman and deal with the aftermath at the same time.

Stuart and Weidemeyer were also cunning politicians, and there was no displeasure on their faces, but they shook hands with everyone and expressed their gratitude.

The talks continued, and when Song Meiling returned to the mansion to carefully select gifts, Song Ailing called: "Third sister, I heard that Janet is in trouble again?" ”

Song Meiling said: "This Janet of our family can poke the hole in the sky this time, and almost caused a diplomatic dispute, but it has been successfully resolved." ”

Song Ailing said: "Janet is a little naughty, but her nature is still very kind, she is fine, I heard that there were guns at the scene." ”

Song Meiling said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, everything is fine, I'll go to Shanghai to deal with the aftermath, Ling Kan is here, it's best to go together, after all, the matter is related to Yangzi Company." ”

Song Ailing agreed.

In the evening of the same day, Mrs. Chiang and Kong Lingkan took a special plane to Shanghai at Dajiaochang Airport, and immediately after landing, they went to the hospital to visit Miss Truman.

Song Meiling was taken aback: "Where is the injury?" ”

"Not hurt, just frightened and unwilling to see anyone, except for an Air Force guy who went to rescue her." Wu Guozhen explained.

Song Meiling was a little relieved, and looked through the glass window, it turned out to be her godson Chen Bei, and she had a plan in her heart, this matter is easy to solve, it is all her own family.

Mary Truman is the president's daughter after all, although she is only twenty-two years old, but she is very knowledgeable, and the wife of the Chinese head of state came to visit her in person, and this bit of face still has to be given, Soong Meiling was allowed to enter, sat on the edge of the bed and whispered softly to soothe her, and peeled an apple for Mary.

"On behalf of President Chiang and the Nationalist Government, I would like to bring you my most sincere condolences and apologies, and we will severely punish the murderers, hoping that this adventure will not make you feel that China is a dangerous and unfriendly place." Madame Chiang's English is authentic, and she has a very high level of cultivation like the noble lady of the upper class society in the eastern United States.

Madame's personal charm is unmatched, Mary was soon impressed by her, 1510 will come, she is with two classmates of Harvard, Elizabeth Stanley, Sophia Chen took advantage of the summer vacation to travel to China plus internship, because of the fatigue of the journey alone in the hotel room rest, suddenly the door was opened, a group of gangsters rushed in and kidnapped her to a "terrifying" dark villa in the suburbs, full of bad guys with faces full of meat and mouse whiskers, as well as vicious dogs, and a small male duck voice that is neither male nor female, Just when the gangsters were about to hurt themselves, Chen Bei appeared, like a hero cowboy in a western movie, single-handedly defeating the gangsters and saving himself.

Song Meiling couldn't laugh when she heard this, the image of her niece was ruined, but she couldn't say anything else at this time, she took out a gift to Miss Truman to apologize.

The gifts are expensive and distinctive.

Suzhou embroidery, ivory carvings, cloisonnΓ© porcelain, and ink landscape paintings are all extremely elegant things that meet the preferences of well-educated upper-class ladies.

Mary likes these things very much, and she also likes Mrs. Jiang very much, the atmosphere in the ward is very harmonious, and Chen Bei tried to interject several times but was stopped by Mrs. Jiang with her eyes.

The time was almost up, Song Meiling got up to say goodbye, called Chen Bei out and chatted a few words alone, saying that China and the United States are conducting important talks recently, and whether or not they can get American assistance is very important to the government of the Republic of China, and I hope he can focus on the overall situation and do a good job in Miss Mary's ideological work.

Chen Bei argued with reason and told what Miss Kong Er had done, thinking that Song Meiling would be furious and punish this arrogant niece, but how did he know that Mrs. Jiang just smiled indifferently: "Ling Jun is really stubborn, but his heart is pure, I will be the east another day, you sit together, shake hands and are still good friends." ”

Chen Bei was speechless, although he was an upright person, he was not a fool, the fact that Mrs. Jiang favored Kong Lingjun was already very clear, and everything he said was in vain.

After Song Meiling finished appeasing and returned to the Song Mansion in Shanghai, Kong Lingjun had already been released by the police, and when he saw his aunt returning, he immediately pounced, his shoulders shrugged, and he was very aggrieved.

"Okay Janet, it's okay, alas, you're really naughty, how did you offend President Truman's daughter." Song Meiling stroked her niece's back, still a little reproachful.

Kong Lingjun was stunned for a moment, and then dismissed: "What's wrong with the president of the United States, it's not every four years, and it's not bullshit after leaving office." ”

Song Meiling said: "Janet, you can't think like that, let alone say this outside, the party-state needs a lot of money to fight the chaos, and where the money comes from, you don't have to rely on the Americans." ”

Kong Lingjun pouted: "Love is not given, who is rare for American assistance, American soldiers raped us Chinese college students, I tied Truman's daughter to hate China, the kid of the Chen family is a traitor, he killed a lot of my dogs and bodyguards, and scolded me for being a monster who is neither male nor female, aunt, you have to be the master for me." ”

Song Meiling has one head and two big, and there is no way to take this niece.

Kong Lingkan sat on the rocking chair and sneered: "Janet usually talks nonsense, but this time what she said is very reasonable, aunt, you don't have to worry about the Americans, they have to give this money, and they have to give it if they don't give it." ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" Song Meiling really wanted to hear her nephew's opinions.

Kong Lingkan stood up, put his hand in his shoulder pocket, shook it step by step, and put on a wise look: "After World War II, a new pattern has been formed in the world, the United States and the Soviet Union are vying for hegemony, the main battlefield in Asia is China, China is currently pro-American, if we win, it will become a pro-Soviet red country, which is what the Americans do not want to see, so even if they hate us again, they must pinch their noses to support us, give us dollars, give us tanks and artillery, and send troops directly when necessary, so we don't need to worry about anything." ”

Kong Lingjun slapped his face: "Brother, what you said is too good." ”

Song Meiling couldn't help but shake her head, this nephew can only do speculative business, thinking too simple about politics and too naΓ―ve about Americans, if American politicians were so coaxing, Chiang Kai-shek would not have such a headache.

……

After an investigation by the Shanghai Police Department, it was found that Miss Truman was kidnapped by Lin Zhijiang, a temporary worker of the Yangzi Company, and that Lin was a puppet agent of Wang, a traitor, who kidnapped American friends for ulterior purposes in an attempt to create a rift between China and the United States, and the case is currently under further investigation.

On the surface, the wind was calm, but secretly it was terrifying, Jiang Weiguo secretly reported his personal experience to Chiang Kai-shek, and it is said that the committee member was angry and wanted to investigate and punish the Yangzi company and the Kong brothers and sisters, but only one day later, the wind changed direction and never mentioned the matter.

Yan'er and Elizabeth took the photos and manuscripts and submitted them everywhere, but none of the news agencies or newspapers were willing to accept them, and they finally had to submit them to the New York Times.

Who is the mastermind and who is the real culprit in this case, Stuart Leiden and Weidemeyer are like mirrors in their hearts, and the embassy also reported the matter to Washington in a secret telegram.

Mature politicians will not let one or two unexpected events affect their decisions, but the Kuomintang government's corruption, mediocrity, inefficiency, cronyism, and reversal of black and white can be seen, even if the daughters of friendly presidents are treated in this way, its citizens can imagine it.

China's proposal to borrow $1.5 billion was rejected by President Truman.
