A few days later, in response to the hijacking of the military train, Huang Ke presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Ministry of National Defense. In fact, the various Standing Committee members had met before this and discussed this matter at the meeting, but at that time, it was only a set tone to carry out all-out recovery and strengthen the security work along the railway. These things had already been deployed after the hijacking, so the meeting was not officially discussed.

The postponement of a meeting for a few days to formally discuss this matter is not that this matter is not important, on the contrary, it shows that this matter is very important, and Huang Ke wants to understand the situation in detail, so he postponed it for a few days.

At nine o'clock in the morning, He Yingqin, Jiang Zhongzheng, Yu Feihong, Xu Shaozhou and others had already arrived. They all work in the Ministry of Defense building, so the meeting will arrive shortly after the notice. Sun Ke came a little late from the Executive Yuan, and when Huang Ke came, he also arrived. It's reasonable that he's farther away, and he's later. Huang Ke greeted everyone, everyone sat down one after another, and after a while, the middle of the huge conference room was already full.

Huang Ke raised his hand to look at his watch, it was more than ten minutes before the agreed meeting time, but Wang Jingwei, the chairman of the state government, had not arrived for a long time, and everyone didn't know whether to start or not. Huang Ke thought for a while and said, "Let's not wait for Comrade Zhaoming, let's start first." ”

Everyone didn't say anything against it, anyway, Huang Ke had already left Wang Jingwei behind many times in this meeting, and he didn't care about this time. On the surface, Chairman Wang is the head of state of a country, but in fact he has lost a lot of power, and the power of these important departments, whether it is the army, personnel, or financial resources, is in the hands of the Xiguan faction and the Kuomintang faction, and it is difficult for others to get involved.

After Huang Ke said, the meeting began. The people in the confidential department distributed all the materials to the attendees, and everyone took them and began to look through them. The materials detail the direct losses caused by the incident, as well as the details of the hijacking before and after the hijacking, as well as the information obtained from the investigation.

The matter is simple and clear, and the most pressing question at the moment is how to minimize the damage; In the same way, as with all the bad things that happen, someone will definitely be dealt with this time, and as for who, I am afraid that the logistics and munitions department in charge of defense, the Henan Provincial Government and the garrison and others are all responsible.

Huang Ke leaned back on the chair in the middle seat, leaned back, he picked up the document and looked at it, after looking at it for a while, he sat up straight, put the document on the table and said, "Look at it, I think everyone has basically grasped the situation." Today we will discuss, mainly on the following topics. The first question is how to recover the damage caused by the given? Secondly, let's talk about how to maintain railway safety in the future, who has an opinion to express it first? ”

After Huang Ke finished speaking, he glanced around, some people were drinking tea, and some people were still pretending to look at the materials, but no one expressed their opinions. This was also expected by Huang Ke, he pointed to Jiang Zhongzheng and said: "Comrade Zhongzheng, you can express your opinion." A lot of work is being done by the army team now, so let's talk about your views first. ”

Jiang Zhongzheng obviously didn't expect that Huang Ke would be the first to ask him what he meant, according to the convention, he was a powerful figure belonging to a faction, so he naturally spoke at the end, Huang Ke obviously didn't respect him very much, he looked at the material and said: "I haven't finished reading it yet, let the other comrades talk about it first." ”

Huang Ke then ordered Yu Feihong's general, and he said to Yu Feihong: "Tell me about the logistics and munitions department, after all, it is your responsibility." ”

When Yu Feihong heard Huang Ke call his name, he put down the teacup in his hand and said with some embarrassment: "What the minister said is that this matter does have a great impact on our logistics department. Originally, I didn't have much rice in my hand, but now I've been robbed, to be honest, when I heard this, I was smacked in my heart, and I didn't say it! I am directly responsible for this matter, and I have no opinion on how to deal with it. ”

Everyone else looked at him, and Huang Ke knocked on the table and said, "Punishment is the second topic, don't deviate from the direction of discussion now." ”

After Huang Ke finished speaking, Yu Feihong didn't say anything more. Huang Ke continued to ask about the situation of the seizure, and the people from the General Police Department said that they had joined forces with troops in many places to encircle and suppress the bandits in the above-mentioned mountainous areas, and Air Force Minister Xu Shaozhou also said that the Air Force had dispatched corresponding reconnaissance planes and fighter planes and was ready to cooperate with the seizure work at any time.

Halfway through the meeting, Wang Zhaoming arrived, and he saw that everyone had already started the meeting, and his face became a little unsightly. However, Huang Ke ignored him, and he continued: "Chairman Wang come and sit here. ”

After that, go ahead and ask for the opinions of others.

After everyone had spoken, Jiang Zhongzheng knocked on the hard shell of the material with his hand, and said in a Fenghua accent: "The material is very clear, this incident was done by the victims in many places mixed with some bandit forces, and some Japanese spies were involved, it seems that this is not only a simple hijacking, but also a wake-up call for us in the rear." Didn't expect our rear to be so empty? If the Japanese spies are in a no-man's land, it will be a bad thing if they continue like this. ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Yang Yibing on the other end of the table and said, "Director Yang, how did you do your intelligence work?" The Japanese are going to reach under our noses, and they are about to stab us in the back, but you still haven't figured out their personnel and staffing! ”

Jiang Zhongzheng's voice was not loud, but the strength was not small, and there were some echoes in the conference room, so after he said it, these questions echoed in the room for a long time, and even more in the hearts of many people at the scene.

Yang Yibing was sitting on pins and needles, he glanced at Huang Ke who was sitting in the middle, but Huang Ke didn't look at him. He knew in his heart that it was not appropriate for Huang Ke to make another statement at this time, that would intensify the existing contradictions, Huang Ke's attitude had already made it clear, what did he need to do now? Does he need to fight back immediately or let Jiang Zhongzheng continue to say this? Yang Yibing thought for a moment, he needed to figure out what Huang Ke meant, he believed that Huang Ke would not be the kind of person who sat still.

After thinking for a while, he stood up and said: "Minister Jiang has taught me that there are indeed many loopholes and shortcomings in my intelligence work, and here I also apologize to all the officers and men of the Central Military Commission and the National Defense Force. We will certainly learn from this incident and improve our work. ”

After speaking, Huang Ke knocked on the table again and said: "Don't go off-topic, our first topic is how to recover losses, and who is specifically responsible for the recovery of this matter in Henan now?" How's it going? I don't want these high-sounding polite words, the real things I need, there are tens of thousands of soldiers on the Northeast Front who don't even have burning sticks in their hands, they are waiting for this batch of firearms! ”

There was a thump on his desk, obviously in a hurry. Everyone knows that Zhang Xueliang has been urging many telegrams for many days in a row, and it is too late to rush and mobilize from other battlefields now, and the best way is to recover those weapons.

Yu Feihong, who was in charge of the matter, said: "At present, Tang Enbo, chairman of the Henan Provincial Garrison, is in charge of the recovery work, and the specific progress is ......."

Yu Feihong in the back didn't say anything, but everyone knew that there was no progress. To be honest, this matter is also quite difficult, because these bandits are not bandits in the ordinary sense, many of them are ordinary people who have no food, and now that they have guns in their hands, it is estimated that they will disperse. How will you check when the time comes? Could it be that when the time comes, you will arrest all the common people?

Huang Ke frowned and asked Sun Ke, the executive premier beside him: "Dean Sun, the bandits in many places in Henan are serious, so I have to ask you, these places have been in drought for many years, why doesn't the government organize disaster relief?" If the disaster relief had been timely, would so many people still be bandits? ”

At the mention of this, Sun Ke, who has always been mild-tempered, was also angry, and he said angrily: "Disaster relief? I'm afraid this is asking your military, Minister Huang! ”

Huang Ke pretended not to know, and he asked in surprise, "Dean Sun, where did you start with this?" ”

Sun Ke snorted coldly and said: "Many places in Henan have been affected by disasters, and the Executive Yuan has carried out disaster relief for each affected area. But as soon as the grain was sent to the people, it was requisitioned by the army, and you say, what can we do? The common people don't have anything, but they don't all go to be bandits. ”

Huang Ke suddenly realized after hearing this, and he nodded thoughtfully. Everyone else also muttered, Yang Yibing, who was sitting on the sidelines just now and watching the situation, understood that Huang Ke's purpose was originally here, in fact, he handed these reports to Huang Ke as early as yesterday, and when he learned that Tang Enbo forcibly requisitioned grain in Henan and even caused a number of bloody cases, Huang Ke couldn't help but be angry.

"Is this true?" Huang Ke asked the crowd.

Jiang Zhongzheng on the side was a little unable to sit still, Tang Enbo was his descendant, and he was placed in Henan to block Cui Wu there, and it was also a chess piece he planted, now it seems that this guy has done some things a little too much, but that is also excusable, military rations must be guaranteed first, what he didn't expect was that Huang Ke would make a fuss about this matter.

Yang Yibing stood up casually and said: "There are also many complaints about Chairman Tang Enbo here, and many places in Henan are already struggling with the people's livelihood, if no more sanctions are imposed, the consequences may be unimaginable." ”

"It's out!" This time it was Jiang Zhongzheng who shouted.

Huang Ke said expressionlessly after hearing this: "First of all, I am here to express my attitude to Dean Sun Ke, if someone in the military dares to interfere with the place, we will severely punish it." Well, since everyone has some objections to Tang Enbo, I think he should not take up this job. I propose that a central joint investigation team be set up in Henan to take full charge of the investigation of this matter. Do you have any objections? ”

"Okay, let's vote then." Seeing that everyone had no objections, Huang Ke continued, he took the lead in raising his right hand, Xu Shaozhou and others also raised their right hands, and this was quickly passed.
