Fourteen then chased after Huang Ke's office in the building, he wanted to explain, but saw Chen Liewen guarding the door. He asked tentatively, "Is the commander meeting guests?" ”

Chen Liewen nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Minister Chen of the Propaganda Department is inside, you better wait for a while before going in." ”

Fourteen nodded, took off the military hat on his head, brushed his scalp from his forehead, and couldn't help sighing.

"What's wrong? Is it because of the students? Chen Liewen said.

"Isn't it? Hey, I blame myself, the commander has always been disgusted with the common people, and he wanted people to use guns to deter him, but he never thought about it...... Hi! Don't mention it. Fourteen kept shaking his head, as if he was very annoyed by this matter.

"Why shouldn't I?" Chen Liewen continued, "I didn't report this incident to the commander, and I guess I will be reprimanded later." ”

"You say, will the commander and the others really come forward to appease the students, right? In that case, even if I am punished, the guards will have to bring guns, who knows who is in it now. "Fourteen said.

Chen Liewen shook his head: "This won't be. We can't just go out in person with a few shouts from the students, because then we won't have any other work. ”

Speaking of which, Fourteen seemed to be a little relieved.

In the room, Huang Ke was chatting with Chen Bui about the incident of Kong Xiangxi. Chen Bui understands that these days, Nanjing is always busy docking with Wuhan, and a group of important government officials in Wuhan always prevaricate on the grounds of "tight office space and difficult relocation" and refuse to move back to Nanjing to work.

At this time, if there is a Kong Xiangxi incident, I am afraid that even if Huang Ke kills chickens and makes an example of monkeys, he will not be able to do it.

"A few days ago, the students who marched gathered in front of the Confucius Mansion in Chongqing to protest, and were injured and scattered by a team composed of hundreds of ruffians and hooligans.

Speaking of the back, Chen Bui said in another tone: "These people and newspapers are too much, isn't this going to blackmail the government?" However, at present, public opinion is still relatively turbulent, and if it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will lead to an unfavorable situation. ”

After listening to Chen Bui's words, Huang Ke pondered for a moment, and then he picked up the red phone in front of him and said, "The secretary desk?" An order has now been drawn up and sent to the Garrison Command and the Police Department. The content is headed by the Central Executive Committee: It is strictly forbidden to use firearms and other weapons against the marching student masses. To add that policing can be carried out by conventional means. ”

After speaking, Huang Ke hung up the phone. He glanced at Chen Bui, and said in a slightly softened tone: "Public opinion can't be overly guided. At present, the main contradiction is still the War of Resistance, and other events must not be allowed to interfere with this major premise. Besides, these things of the Kong family have little to do with Kong Xiangxi himself, at best, he is a godson without a way, and it is inappropriate for the people to let him step down as soon as they shout. I will order the police to supervise and handle this case, and those who should be arrested and those who should be closed will be closed. In this case, you can ask the "JoongAng Daily" to write a commentary tomorrow, and the main theme will be around what I said, and as for the tabloids that are talking nonsense, you don't have to pay too much attention to them. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange it." Chen Bui said.

Huang Ke continued: "It's not just for the Central Daily to speak, but also for newspapers in other regions to publish or retweet it. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Bui got up and left. Huang Ke picked up the phone after he left, and said, "Let the police commissioner come to me." ”

The Police Department is the highest administrative body of the police of the central government, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior, and administers the police and police departments at all levels throughout the country.

A few years ago, Huang Ke vigorously promoted the reform of the police system, and the recruitment, training, and evaluation of police officers were also formalized, and the Central Police University was established in Nanjing, which specializes in training police officers, and at the same time, the power of the police administration was further expanded. Therefore, the police department has become a department that offends people.

However, this police commissioner Chen Tieying can do it without offending anyone. He is very popular among the Xiguan faction, and at the same time, he can also have a lot of intersections in the Kuomintang lineage, and even have some contacts with the Communist Party and the Democratic League. It is precisely this ability to move between various factions and at the same time have a certain ability to do things, so he can squeeze out many competitors and become the post of Commissioner of Police.

After about 20 minutes passed, Huang Ke saw that Chen Tieying had not yet come, so he picked up the red line phone in front of him and asked, "What's the matter?" Have you notified Chen Tieying of the Police Department? ”

The people at the secretary's desk promised again and again, saying that they would urge immediately, but Chen Tieying had not arrived because of the long distance, so he continued to send people to ask.

Before the secretary desk could finish explaining, Huang Ke hung up the phone with a snap. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, why shouldn't he compete with these people?

Two consecutive phone calls urged, and the people at the secretary's desk were terrified. This is rare in front of Huang Ke, no matter what the situation was, Huang Ke would first call the secretary Chen Liewen, or notify the chairman's chamber, and when he directly notified the secretary's desk, it was usually a relatively urgent matter.

Today, he not only notified the secretary's desk, but also personally made two phone calls within half an hour, which shows the urgency of this matter. The secretary desk did not dare to slack off for a second, and immediately telegraphed the police department to inquire.

"The Police Department? This is the secretary desk of the Central Executive Committee, have you Director Xu set off? Has the car sent to you arrived? The other party's barrage of questions almost blinded the police department, so he had to reply resignedly that after receiving the call, Director Xu had already prepared, and the car arrived ten minutes ago, and the person was already on the way.

The secretary did not dare to slack off, and sent several vehicles to urge.

Commissioner of Police Chen Tieying didn't know that the secretary desk and the police department were already busy with his affairs, he just wondered why the supreme commander Huang Ke suddenly summoned him today.

To tell the truth, although he is a high-ranking official, there are not many opportunities to report to Huang Ke in person. I don't know what this sudden order is?

Sitting in the comfortable back seat of the Central Executive Committee Austin sedan, Chen Tieying actually broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

The car walked for less than 20 minutes, and when he was about to arrive in front of the Western-style building of the Ministry of National Defense and the Central Executive Committee, Chen Tieying finally understood the reason why Huang Ke was looking for himself - the students were making trouble again.

……

Chen Tieying guessed without the slightest mistake, Huang Ke was indeed looking for him to make trouble for the students.

When he arrived at the central building, after repeated inspections, Chen Tieying handed over all the guns, keys, pens, and other things on his body, and finally waited in front of the conference room of the chairman's chamber under the leadership of a guard.

The waiting time was not long, only about ten minutes in total, but for Chen Tieying, it felt like half a century. He was sitting on a chair in the conference room, and although the sofa was soft, his back never touched the back of the back, and his whole body was like a cast of iron.

After a while, Huang Ke walked in. Chen Tieying snapped and immediately stood upright, and his right hand also reacted at the same time, and a standard military salute came over.

Huang Ke's right hand touched his forehead slightly, which was considered a return salute, "Please take a seat, Director Xu." ”

"Yes, Chairman." Chen Tieying sat down again in his original upright posture.

Huang Ke sat down casually on the sofa next to him, his legs slightly apart, and his eyes kept piercing Chen Tieying, making him sit still.

"Did you see students marching on the road when you came?" Huang Ke spoke, just like Chen Tieying predicted, it was really because of the student trouble.

Chen Tieying owed: "Report to the chairman, I have not supervised the students for making trouble, and there is no corresponding punishment." When I returned, I gave orders to take decisive measures to prevent the situation from escalating. ”

After Chen Tieying finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly to show remorse, but he still observed Huang Ke's reaction with the afterglow of his eyes.

"When there is a violation of law and discipline, students naturally want to take to the streets to express their dissatisfaction. If even the students don't dare to take to the streets to express their dissatisfaction, then am I not a lone husband and a thief? Huang Ke's voice was not loud, but he was heartfelt, "The law grants citizens freedom, if they don't attack the state organs, it is a legitimate request, who do you arrest?" ”

Chen Tieying broke out in a cold sweat on his back, how could it be different from what he thought, "Yes, yes, the chairman taught a lesson......

"Teach bullshit! I ask you, why did the students march and make trouble? Could it be that they are fed up? You represent the state apparatus, and the student parade represents the face of the state, is it possible that you want the state apparatus to slap the face of the state? ”

"If you don't find out what the real problem is, you know that you are going to catch the students who are making trouble, who taught you to do this? That's what you, the Commissioner of Police, do? If you do that, you might as well go home and farm. In the last few words, Huang Ke obviously increased his tone, and the blame was very obvious.

Chen Tieying immediately understood what Huang Ke meant, he knew that if he made up his statement again, it would not be a matter of losing his black hat, and it was very likely that the integrity department would come to check on him.

It's time to take sides!

Chen Tieying hurriedly stood up and said: "I am not talented in my duty, and it is a dereliction of duty to fail to arrest the criminals. It's just the chairman, please allow the humble post to explain! ”

Huang Ke said with a cold face; "Say it."

Chen Tieying took a few deep breaths to calm down a little, and he walked up to Huang Ke and said, "Chairman of the Committee, I know that this matter is all because of the Confucian family in Wuhan. A few days ago, the Wuhan Police Department was ready to start an investigation, and the bandit leaders who attacked the masses in those days had been arrested, and everything pointed to the son of the Kong family. The matter is serious, and the Wuhan side has asked me for instructions, and I have already issued this order, but Minister Xu Kan of the Ministry of the Interior called the lowly post and said, 'No investigation'. The Ministry of the Interior was a lowly direct superior, so the matter was put on hold. ”

Saying that, Chen Tieying bowed his head and said: "Chairman, there is a dereliction of duty in his humble position, please punish the chairman." ”
