Looking at the room full of impassioned young people, Lu Ming couldn't help but be filled with pride. These people are China's elites, and China's future is in their hands.
These people are basically between 20 and 30 years old. The older Deng Wenyi and Kang Ze are only in their twenties. They have reached the pinnacle of their lives when they work beside the Chairman.
"Comrade Lu, why didn't you join the Kuomintang?" Zeng Zhi suddenly asked.
Lu Ming was startled, then smiled and said: "I really haven't thought about this problem. I have always wanted to be a non-party person. Doesn't it mean that if you don't join the party, you can't join our society?"
"That's not true, I'm just a little curious." Zeng Zhi said coldly.
"If Comrade Lu wants to join the party, it's not a matter of just saying a word. All he needs to do is fill out a form." Kang Ze said with a smile.
"One of my most respected elders has been working for the Kuomintang. He has made greater contributions to the revolution than anyone else, but he is not a member of the Kuomintang. The criterion for measuring a person cannot be just whether he is a party member." Lu Mingyu
Lead the way.
"That's it, that's it. Sheng Gong's contribution to the party is well known to everyone inside and outside the party. Even the leaders call him a model outside the party." Deng Wenyi said with a smile.
"Comrade Lu, I'm just a little confused about this matter, not about your identity." Zeng Zhi forced a smile and explained.
Lu Ming didn't say anything else. In fact, he had always been wondering. Sheng Youde always claimed to be the strongest believer in the Three People's Principles and a supporter of the National Revolution, but he was not a member of the Kuomintang. Why on earth was this?
The banquet was noisy until midnight.
Lu Ming was also convinced. These people were really good at drinking. Bottles of foreign wine tasted like drinks. After finishing the Western food, he complained that he was not full. Then he was served a whole set of Chinese food. In the end, one meal ended up being two meals.
meal.
After dinner, he made reservations for guests from out of town, also at the Chinachem Hotel. Since he was generous once, he would be generous to the end.
When Lu Ming got home, it was already past one o'clock in the morning. He was half drunk and fell asleep while lying on the bed without taking off his clothes.
When he woke up the next day, he felt like what happened yesterday was a dream. How could he become the director of a youth club overnight?
He felt something was wrong, and thought about the matter several times, thinking that he might have been deceived by the old fox Sheng Youde.
Sheng Youde began to delay the funding and even made some hints to force the other party to invite him to become the sponsor. However, he unknowingly fell into the pit step by step according to Sheng Youde's plan.
When he returned to China, he turned down the invitation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Sheng Youde didn't say anything, but now he pushed him out in a cunning manner.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still. After washing, he drove to the Liuyuan Garden.
Sheng Youde seemed to know that he was coming and was sitting in the office waiting. Sheng Muyi and Yuan Ziyuan were also with him.
"Congratulations, Director-General Lu, you are very proud to have taken office." Sheng Muyi said with a smile.
"You knew it so quickly?" Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"What's weird about this? It's not a secret." Yuan Ziyuan said disdainfully.
After Lu Ming sat down, Sheng Muyi made him a cup of tea.
Sheng Youde smiled and said: "Try this tea. It is the top quality Lushan Yunwu. The chairman sent someone to give it to me. It is said that they picked it personally."
Lu Ming took a sip and felt his mouth full of saliva, and a sweet taste lingered in his mouth.
"Good tea, so fragrant." Although Lu Ming is not a tea drinker, he still felt unusual after taking this sip.
"Of course, this tea is not available on the market. It only produces more than ten kilograms a year. It won't be opened until you come." Sheng Muyi said with a smile.
"Old man, what do you want me to do by pushing me into this Blue Clothes Club?" Lu Ming asked.
"Ah, push you in? Didn't you accept the invitation yourself?" Sheng Youde pretended to be serious.
Lu Ming said nothing, but looked at Sheng Youde with a smile.
"I think you have been a little depressed these days, and you are depressed all day long. I want to find something for you to do, so you should do it well." Yuan Ziyuan said happily.
"Well, I think the old man meant more than that, right?" Lu Ming didn't believe the reason was that simple.
Since there were no outsiders in the room, Sheng Youde smiled and said, "I know I can't hide this from you. Indeed, I intend for you to join this association, and as a sponsor. The first meeting you held yesterday was
, the basic structure should be established, right?”
"Well, all the internal organizational settings have been finalized." Lu Ming replied.
"Have you ever thought about why the Chairman asked his secretary to establish this organization?" Sheng Youde asked.
"Strengthening the leader's authority, eliminating dissidents, and resisting foreign wars should be the ultimate goal," Lu Ming said.
"That's just a superficial reason. Although the Chairman is a believer in the Three People's Principles, what he admires most is fascism. Power is highly concentrated. However, it is not feasible to fully implement fascism in China. Yuan Xiangcheng
The lesson of wanting to be emperor is profound enough." Sheng Youde smiled.
"But isn't a leader, a government, and a doctrine the essence of fascism?" Lu Ming asked.
"These are not important. I have also seen the structure of your association. It is actually a very large intelligence agency cloaked in the guise of an association." Sheng Youde said seriously.
"Intelligence is just one of the agencies. There are also personnel, administration, publicity and other agencies. I am responsible for the finance." Lu Ming chuckled.
"Personnel, administration, propaganda, and general affairs all serve the intelligence agency, or they are a cover-up. In fact, intelligence is the chairman's real intention." Sheng Youde said simply.
"Then why do you call yourself the Blue Clothes Club? Is this the plainclothes law enforcement agency of the Republic of China?" Lu Ming asked confused.
"The Blue Shirt Club appears to be modeled after the Nazi Brown Shirts or the Fascist Black Shirts, but it is actually intended to mislead people," Sheng Youde said.
"The Kuomintang, the ruling party, doesn't have an internal intelligence agency. Why would it set up such an organization?" Lu Ming was still confused.
"I think the Chairman wants an intelligence agency that is completely under his personal control. Uncle, am I right?" Yuan Ziyuan seemed to be very interested in this issue.
"Ziyuan's understanding is basically correct. The Kuomintang government and military system certainly has its own intelligence agencies, but they are small and scattered. The chairman wants to establish a very large intelligence organization under his personal control, and thereby strengthen his control over the party.
The strength of government and military control." Sheng Youde explained.
"Does this have a certain effect on dividing the warlords in various places?" Lu Ming seemed to be enlightened.
"This is of course one of the Chairman's intentions, to know every move of the warlord so that he can make comprehensive plans to mobilize or purge the army."
"Why did you let me get involved?" Lu Ming was concerned about this.
Lu Ming had not thought about what Sheng Youde said, but he didn't understand why Sheng Youde would push him in since it was a spy organization.
"Of course it's for intelligence. Without an intelligence source, how can we talk about saving the country?" Sheng Youde said with a smile.
"But I'm only the Secretary-General and Financial Director, I don't lead the Intelligence Department." Lu Ming
"Fool, why are they looking for me? Isn't it because the money to establish the Blue Clothes Society has no source for the time being? How can the National Government lack such money? The chairman does not want others to interfere with this organization, so he came out to beg for help." Sheng
Youde smiled.
"Oh..." Lu Ming's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the meaning of Sheng Youde's words.
"Don't think about it, let me tell you, the chairman of the committee has noticed you, and Deng Wenyi has collected all your information. People don't make mistakes without aim." Sheng Youde laughed.
"What position did Adjutant Huang assign?" Yuan Ziyuan suddenly asked.
"Well, he is one of the first members, and he has been assigned the position of chief of the Fourth Section of the Second Intelligence Division." Lu Ming glanced at Yuan Ziyuan, who was obviously avoiding his eyes.
"Adjutant Huang is already a lieutenant colonel, so he appointed a section chief. Our Lu Ming is at least a colonel." Sheng Muyi said jokingly at this moment.
"I think Adjutant Huang is a good kid and will do a lot in the future. Lu Ming, you must have a good relationship with him in the future. He is both your comrade and your brother." Sheng Youde's words were meaningful and weighty.
"It's not that I'm stingy. If the Blue Clothes Society's money is spent on the anti-Japanese war, I applaud it with both hands. If it's spent on the civil war..." Lu Ming hesitated.
