Chapter 714: Emergency Evacuation
Chapter 714: Emergency Evacuation
The marathon plenary meeting of the Nanjing Military Commission finally ended in the twilight, and outside the window, Tang Qiuli took up the post of commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Air Defense General Headquarters, and the members who attended the meeting had different mentalities, Chen Guofu's indignant and helpless face, Ye Xiufeng's expression was gloomy, as if a catastrophe was coming, Dai Li's heartfelt excitement, positive expression, and Chairman Jiang's hidden unnaturalness, Yang Yongtai's uncertain eyes, all received under his eyes, and he smiled secretly in his heart, This hasn't started yet, it's a dragon and tiger fight, interesting, and during the stay in Nanjing, it must be exciting.
For Dai Li and his Military Command Bureau, I don't have a special good impression, anyway, it looks much more pleasing to the eye than Chen Guofu and the guys in the Central Unified Bureau, and they have more common interests, this is a card for him to deal with the Central Unified Bureau, and he must not be suspicious of Chairman Jiang, so that Dai Li will fall out of favor, and Chen Guofu's Central Unified Bureau is dominant, which is not in his own interests, and he has to help Dai Li.
Tang Qiuli looked at Dai Li, and said in a stern tone: "Director Dai, in this eventful autumn, at a critical juncture, where the interests of the party and the state lie, all departments must cooperate sincerely to tide over the difficulties together, I hold this position, I will never favor one over the other, have some intimacy, and treat everyone equally, if that slack, dereliction of duty, and the safety of millions of citizens as a child's play, I will definitely deal with it strictly and will not tolerate it," This is of course the words on the scene, said to everyone.
Dai Li's positive expression, even if it made the old man uncomfortable, and he didn't get a due response from Tang Qiuli, he couldn't help but be frustrated, and replied in a low voice: "Remember the teachings of Commander-in-Chief Tang and return to the bureau to arrange it immediately" Seeing Dai Li's like a defeated rooster, Tang Qiuli almost laughed out loud.
Taking advantage of the chaos when everyone was walking out, he approached Dai Li, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yunong, don't worry, you can say that today's move is to gain Tang's trust, but in fact, to monitor all of Tang's actions nearby, and to watch Tang for the old man, you can win the trust of Chairman Jiang," After speaking, he smiled faintly, ignored the stunned Dai Li, and walked away.
What a shrewd person Dai Li is, he immediately understood Tang Qiuli's meaning, this is a wonderful good idea, and he broke the biggest worry in the old man's heart in one sentence, but the authorities were confused, and he didn't expect it for a while, it was rare for Vice Chairman Tang to think about himself, if it wasn't for the public, in front of everyone, Dai Li would worship Tang Qiuli and identify him as a noble person in his life.
Tang Qiuli, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help laughing, he could imagine that Dai Li, who was busy tonight, would go directly to the old man's mansion to show his loyalty, with Dai Li's shrewdness and good at observing words and feelings, he would definitely be able to give full play to his ideas, wouldn't he be grateful to himself, in the future, he would have close contacts with himself, and there would be a good reason, the Military Control Bureau, as a newly rising force, spread eyeliner in Nanjing City, and was well-informed. Coupled with his hidden strength in Nanjing, this errand is not difficult to do.
The Nanjing Air Defense General Headquarters is located in the Nanjing Garrison Command building, and the entire third floor is vacated, and the Nanjing Garrison Commander, in order to convince this Vice Chairman Tang, has selected the best office supplies, selected the most capable command personnel, and formed the team of the Air Defense Command, Tang Qiuli did not plan to use the manpower of the Tang Qiuquan Special Operations Detachment, this is a dark line, hiding in the shadows, it has a greater effect than being exposed to the sun, and at critical moments, it can also be used as a surprise army.
After the brief ceremony, the Nanjing Air Defense General Headquarters was formally established, and Chairman Chiang attached great importance to this, and specially appointed Yang Yongtai, secretary general of the Military Commission, to deliver a congratulatory speech, and also personally inscribed the name of the organization.
Tang Qiuli's first order was to send it to the Nanjing Garrison Command, immediately mobilize all troops, and impose martial law in the entire city of Nanjing starting at about 10 o'clock tomorrow night.
Then, an order was issued to the Nanjing Military Police Headquarters and the Nanjing City Police Department to dispatch all the gendarmes and policemen to maintain order in the city and strictly prevent gangsters from taking advantage of the opportunity to engage in sabotage, smashing, and looting.
Dai Li's Military Command Bureau is responsible for the elimination of Japanese spies in Nanjing and intelligence on the Japanese army, and another important task is to find suitable hiding and evacuation places far away from the urban area of Nanjing, and together with the guard brigade of the independent division headquarters, it is responsible for evacuating and escorting the citizens of Nanjing and various party, government, and military organs.
Last night, according to Tang Qiuli's idea, he immediately rushed to Chairman Jiang's private residence, and in his own way, skillfully explained the reason for doing so at the meeting. I feel that I am mixed with the two major figures of the government, and the wind and water are booming, so it is not comfortable.
The task given to the Central Bureau of Statistics is very clear and single, and there is no need for the Central Bureau of Statistics to do anything else, it is specially responsible for requisitioning civilian vehicles, each hundred vehicles are organized into a group, responsible for transporting evacuated citizens and government personnel, as well as valuables and archives, factories, enterprise equipment, etc., at any time to obey the call of the Air Defense General Headquarters, Ye Xiufeng, director of the Central Bureau of Statistics, who received the order, stood for a long time, crying and mourning, and took the order directly to find the real behind-the-scenes boss Chen Guofu.
Chen Guofu saw the order, he was so angry that he scolded, the surname Tang started so quickly, this order seems simple, but in fact it is extremely ruthless, everyone knows that in China in the thirties, those who can own cars are either high-ranking officials and nobles, or wealthy businessmen, who do not have a deep background and background, usually walk sideways, and dislike the narrow road, just find a few, you can argue with yourself, wrestle with yourself, and usually dare not offend and provoke.
This is purely a job that offends people, those who have cars, how can they be willing to hand over the car, and they must not be forced to do it, and it is a thankless errand, and in the future, the Central Bureau of Statistics will be very difficult on the ground in Nanjing, and the most absolute thing is that Tang Qiuli clearly stipulates in the order the number of cars that must be requisitioned, and there is no hole at all, and it is not possible to be sloppy, and it is strange, how can this surnamed Tang know so much about the situation in Nanjing?
Knowing that it was a pit, but he had to jump in with his eyes wide open, and he couldn't have the slightest complaint, Chen Guofu, who was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, gritted his teeth and said to Ye Xiufeng: "Then carry out the order of this surnamed Tang, remember, you must be flexible, he is going to stink and rectify our Central Bureau, you can't be fooled, explain it, let your subordinates open their eyes wide, don't dare to provoke regardless of that god, say more good things, and try to get things done." ”
Ye Xiufeng was just about to leave, but Chen Guofu stopped him again, "Prepare a sum of money, if necessary, you can take the way of hiring to reduce the hostility and disgust of the car owner towards our Central Unified Bureau," as soon as he heard the word money, Ye Xiufeng looked embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "You also know that there are so many funds in our bureau, if this is misappropriated, the brothers in the bureau will not be able to pay salaries, and if it is not good to explain to the above, I will go to Chairman Jiang, and I will not be able to eat and walk around." ”
Chen Guofu was so angry that he almost slapped Ye Xiufeng's mouth, and said viciously: "Why did you raise your gang of waste and rice buckets, I will pay for this money out of my own pocket, and let you go to spend it, right?" Ye Xiufeng's face turned red and white for a while, and he secretly complained in his heart, "It's not that you don't have the ability, let the surnamed Tang ride on the neck to show off his might, and even the Central Unification Bureau will have a dull face, so that he complains about me," Chen Guofu himself was stunned in the study for a while, feeling that his heart was blocked in a panic, and the mess seemed to be stuffed with a mess, he flew up, kicked over the coffee table, and sat on the sofa sulking.
The order to evacuate was issued, after the initial panic in the city of Nanjing, the feelings of the citizens quickly settled down, this was not a disorderly escape, but an organized evacuation, according to the order of the Air Defense Command, the first batch of evacuees were ordinary citizens, under the maintenance of soldiers and police, according to the streets and alleys as a unit, the citizens took a nostalgic last look at the place where they grew up, and boarded various vehicles in an orderly manner, driving to the unknown distance, that temporary strange place of shelter.
In this harmonious note, there are also unstable factors, the escort team composed of agents of the Military Command Bureau and the soldiers of the guard brigade found out many government officials disguised as ordinary citizens, including officers of various units under the garrison command, and the matter was reported to Tang Qiu, and he handled it very simply, all government officials were dismissed on the spot, escorted to the periphery of Shanghai, handed over to General Zhang Zhizhong, and built fortifications, and without receiving the order issued by himself, he was never allowed to be released, which was equivalent to life imprisonment.
As for those officers who fled before the big enemy arrived, Tang Qiuli handled it very simply, and gave instructions on the list with four big words: "Shoot on the spot", there is nothing to say, they are not worthy of being soldiers, let alone Chinese soldiers, such scum, staying in the army, sooner or later will be a scourge, and it is even more dangerous than openly surrendering the Japanese to be a puppet army.
In the quiet city of Nanjing, bursts of gunfire rang out, and immediately, large notices were posted on the streets and alleys, and the number of people with good deeds was counted, and more than 900 officers were shot.
