"Having said that, Americans have a stronger sense of equality than we do. If we arrest people casually like this, the people will not agree." After a while, Lu Ming continued the topic.
"That's right, we can't just follow others because they are bad. We should compare ourselves with others, not their bad ones." Liu Qiwen said.
Lu Ming couldn't help but admire in his heart, this hot girl still maintained her simplicity and conscience, and was not polluted by the big dyeing vat of Shanghai.
Many people come to Shanghai, including some with higher education, and are polluted unknowingly in this lavish society.
Some people have abandoned their conscience and simplicity, blindly pursuing wealth, status, and vanity, becoming more and more inhumane, and even becoming less human in the end.
If a person can't speak human words, stop doing human things, and completely turns into a beast, how terrible this is.
Lu Ming was deeply touched by this. There is a trend of exaggeration, impetuousness, and vanity in the upper class society in Shanghai. They compare themselves with luxury and power. People in the middle class society are also following the same trend as the upper class, abandoning their conscience and speculating everywhere. They do not feel ashamed but think
Honor.
People at the bottom of society are struggling to survive, and their suffering is endless. This is the case in Shanghai and the same in New York.
Although there is a huge gap in wealth between China and the United States, these two cities have the same problems as international metropolises.
On the one hand, there is the wealthy upper class who are rich in alcohol and meat, and on the other hand, there are prostitutes and beggars at the bottom. Not to mention, there is a phenomenon in Shanghai that is not found in New York, that is, there are opium and morphine addicts everywhere.
Many people in the Fuxing Society have also changed their character after coming to Shanghai, but there are still some people who can still maintain their original hearts and consciences. This is really not easy.
Of course, all this is not Shanghai's fault. This prosperous metropolis has brought hope to many young people who seek to make progress, and has also created God-given opportunities for aspiring businessmen.
"Sir, there are so many people looking for you every day. You can't really let them go. If that will offend the boss, you'd better be careful. You will do big things next year, Qian Qian.
Don't delay." Liu Qiwen said with some worry.
"Release, why not? Don't listen to Yu Nong's saying that it is better to arrest by mistake than to release by mistake. That is just a slogan. Since the arrest was made by mistake, the person should be released. Otherwise, why would the Republic of China promulgate laws?
Lu Ming said angrily.
"But what Shangfeng means is that this is a special operation. The stricter the better, the more effective it will be in deterring the Communist Party." Liu Qiwen looked out the window and whispered.
"Deterrence requires the support of a sound legal system and the cooperation of all police and military police, rather than relying on random arrests. The more we abide by the constraints of the law, the more effective it will be in deterring us. We must do the same as the Communist Party
In the struggle, we must pay attention to methods and methods, and we must win the support of all citizens. Such aimless raids will only make us lose our prestige in the hearts of the citizens," Lu Ming said.
"That's right, without the support of the general public, can the police, military police and us alone arrest all the Communists? I don't think it can be done." Liu Qiwen agreed.
"In fact, the Communist Party welcomes this kind of action the most. The more we go too far, the happier they will be. Even if it is possible to catch some Communists, it will not be worth the loss. The most fundamental battle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is to compete for the hearts and minds of the people. Who will
Whoever wins the hearts and support of the people will win the world." Lu Ming said impassionedly.
The so-called world actually means the hearts and minds of the people. At this moment, Lu Ming is really thinking about the Kuomintang.
In any case, he is still a senior official of the Republic of China government. He does not hope that the Republic of China government will collapse, but he hopes that the Republic of China government will become better.
After experiencing many disasters and revolutions to overthrow the feudal dynasty, countless people with lofty ideals were sacrificed before the Republic of China government was established.
As the only legal government in China, the Republic of China government remained the core of the entire nation in the subsequent struggle against Japan.
Although Lu Ming was disappointed with many aspects of the Republic of China government, he still hoped that the government would become better and better through some improvements and the country would become stronger and stronger.
Speaking of society being dark and evil beings in power, this is actually a problem that many countries make. Lu Ming stayed in the United States for four and a half years, during which time he traveled to some European countries and found that the governments of all countries are similar, and they are nothing more than laughing at a hundred steps.
There has not yet been a perfect government in the world.
The government of the Republic of China also had many good, capable, and even talented people. However, due to various reasons, these people could not play a big role, but there was still some hope.
For example, during this large-scale raid, the people from the Fuxing Society were more ethical and did not openly collaborate with the police at the police station and the people at the security headquarters for extortion. This is already very good.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that most people in the Fuxing Society were born in Huangpu and have received a good education. It is also related to the strict internal discipline and severe punishment. No one dares to violate the social rules easily.
Another reason is that the salaries of Fuxing Society members are high. As long as they keep their jobs, they can maintain a decent life in Shanghai. Unlike the police and military police at the bottom, who must rely on other sources of income to survive.
Lu Ming thought of Zhang Ziyang. He was a senior detective at the Police Headquarters, but he still had to rely on helping gangs to make extra money to make a living. Of course, Zhang Ziyang had a bottom line, which was that he would never do anything like extortion, nor would he do anything illegal.
.
But for some reason, Lu Ming still felt uneasy and had a feeling of being depressed.
During the entire search process, An Yi was on pins and needles. She was eager to know the situation of the comrades in Shanghai, whether any comrades were captured by the enemy, how many comrades were arrested, whether timely rescue measures were taken, etc.
.
But Mr. Dong still resolutely stopped her, and the two quarreled secretly several times. Of course, An Yi knew that Mr. Dong had taken great pains.
Speaking of danger, An Yi is still very dangerous. Lu Ming reminded them repeatedly that Weng Bailing from the Fuxing Society had already set his sights on An Yi, and even placed eyes and ears in the apartment, asking them to be careful and not to be careless.
After the large-scale raid, An Yi really couldn't stand it any longer and no longer wanted to stay in the apartment anyway.
Her original words were, "I can no longer sit idle and wait for death like this." She insisted on contacting her comrades in Shanghai and getting into work.
Mr. Dong actually feels the same as her, but because he wants to protect the radio station, he cannot act without permission from the radio station.
Under An Yi's repeated requests, Mr. Dong agreed with An Yi to take preliminary actions and secretly contact the Shanghai underground party organization to learn more about the situation.
The headquarters already knew the general situation of the Shanghai manhunt, but the specific situation was not clear, so no instructions were issued to them.
An Yi asked Mr. Dong to send out a signal for a liaison through a secret channel, and the next day he found a response agreeing to the liaison in the advertisement column of Ta Kung Pao.
An Yi came to a teahouse at the agreed time and place.
She did not go to that bookstore because the designated place for this meeting was this teahouse.
She first came to the teahouse alone, chose a table by the window and sat down, then ordered a pot of Biluochun.
She waited for about twenty minutes. When the agreed time came, Guo Songtao appeared on time.
In fact, Guo Songtao had arrived long ago.
He had been pretending to repair his bicycle in the alley opposite the building, watching An Yi go upstairs, and waited for a while to see if there were any agents watching. If anyone was watching here, he would send a signal to An Yi and evacuate quickly.
Guo Songtao walked around the area for about half an hour, making sure again and again that there were no enemy agents or police nearby, and then he entered the teahouse and came upstairs.
He did not sit at An Yi's table, but chose a back-to-back table to sit down, and also ordered a pot of Biluochun.
In Shanghai, people's favorite teas are Longjing and Biluochun. Drinking this kind of tea will naturally not attract anyone's attention.
Neither of them spoke, but drank tea quietly.
An Yi suppressed the excitement in her heart and did not look at Guo Songtao, but looked out the window, while Guo Songtao stared outside the door.
After a while, I saw that all the waiters in the teahouse were playing cards at the counter, and there were no other customers on this floor.
This large-scale raid frightened many people and they did not dare to go out to the streets to drink tea.
"How is the situation now?" An Yi asked in a low voice.
"The situation is not good. More than a dozen of our people have been arrested, and some preparatory party members have also been taken away, not to mention some activists. This enemy action has caused us great losses," Guo Songtao said.
.
"Are they in danger? Has the rescue operation been launched?" An Yi asked.
"We are using all our strength to rescue them. Now we can only hope that their identities are not exposed, and that these people can withstand the enemy's intimidation and will not turn out traitors." Guo Songtao said sadly.
He also did not expect that the last rescue activity in the hospital would lead to such a large-scale revenge activity by the enemy. As a result, Comrade Hou Liang was not able to rescue him. The action team suffered heavy losses and suffered such a large-scale revenge from the enemy. Although some were eliminated
