In Washington, D.C., in the office of a ministerial cadre of the Regional Security Bureau, Ouyang was so angry that he went crazy. After walking around the room with his arms akimbo, he said: "Forget it, I don't care! You can directly report Lao Li's reason for asking for leave to the superior.
Let's go to Longcheng to talk with someone else!"
"Yes!" The secretary nodded.
"That's so arrogant!! You don't do things like this!" Ouyang Zhen picked up his coat and walked out, cursing: "Isn't this the same as putting me on the fire? Lao Li, you are not a friend enough!"
Ouyang Zhen is indeed very angry, because he has always been the person responsible for communicating with Lao Li, and now the latter does not listen to the orders from his superiors and openly confronts the leadership department. This means that Ouyang Zhen has not done his job well, and it also means that he has no respect for Lao Li.
Lost control.
Ouyang Zhen cursed and left the unit, went to find his sweetheart that night, and fired three cannons in one night. Only then did he get rid of the anger in his heart.
…
Noon the next day.
The deputy director of the General Affairs and Inspection Department of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the second largest faction in the first district, arrived at Longcheng with more than 20 people.
The deputy minister who led the team was surnamed Han, and his name was Han Xian. He was fifty-four years old this year. He also came to District 1 with the Zhou Clan troops during the Great Migration from South to Shanghai.
After living here for decades, Han Xian has completely adapted to the living and working environment here, and joined the civil affairs faction early. This person works seriously, has a rigorous attitude, and is vigorous and resolute in his work, so his position has been steadily promoted.
.
In fact, the Chinese elites who came to District 1 through the Great Migration now have distinct political stances. Some have joined the Republican Party, while others have entered the Civil Affairs Party, leaving aside the regional stance and the Chinese stance.
Needless to say, the current Chinese factions are relatively fragmented. There are people who follow each side, and they are not very united.
After Han Xian led the team to Longcheng, he immediately wanted to see Liming Sheng himself, but the latter declined his request temporarily on the grounds that he was undergoing treatment, and sent Director Liu, Su Tianyu, Li Yuan and others to deal with the superiors
The leader received the reception.
At noon.
In the conference room of the Municipal Building, Han Xian was wearing a neat suit and sitting on the sofa with a very serious face, looking like a big enemy.
Director Liu sat next to him and said with a smile on his face: "Boss, the municipal government has prepared a banquet tonight...!"
"Forget the banquet, we are here to do business." Han Xian refused, frowned and asked: "When can I see Mayor Li?"
"This...it's hard to say. The doctor said his condition is not very ideal." Director Liu replied softly: "He has been taking injections and taking medicine, and he is in a daze...!"
Han Xian glanced at Director Liu coldly: "With this physical condition, can he still be qualified to be the mayor? I think it is better to let him resign."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became awkward. Even Su Tianyu and Li Yuan were a little surprised, thinking... Although you are angry, you can't say it like this, right? The smell of gunpowder is too strong.
Yes.
Everyone was quiet for a while, and Director Liu laughed: "You can talk to me first about work matters!"
Han Xian put his hands in his hands, thought for a long time and replied: "Okay, you can also give Lao Li a message for me!"
"Your orders!" Director Liu replied.
Han Xian looked at the crowd with a serious attitude and said concisely: "The upper management has never mentioned the fact that you secretly delivered military supplies to the Chi Army and the Lao Mo Army, but that doesn't mean they don't know. Why are we here?
Turning a blind eye to these matters? That’s because the leadership has considered that Lao Li has just arrived and is in a difficult situation. If he wants to break the predicament, he must adopt extraordinary measures in extraordinary times. In fact, in these few days,
In the past years, I have given you a lot of support, both in the military and in government affairs, and you can even say that I have condoned you!"
Director Liu looked at him: "Yes, that's what you said!"
"Let's not talk about armaments. Now let's talk about the issue of the Chi Army and the Third Division." Han Xian frowned and glanced at everyone, and said in a sonorous voice: "There has been a qualitative change in the level of armament, so it must be controllable! The Chi Army and the Third Division."
Needless to say, you all know the relationship between the Longcheng Government Affairs Bureau and yourselves, so I came here this time to make some non-negotiable requirements for the Chi Army!"
Director Liu pondered for a long time, but did not offer any defense on Chi Jun's issue, because at this point, the matter was basically in the public domain, and the upper management would not be unaware of Chi Jun's secret relationship with Lao Li's team.
"So tell me, what are the specific requirements?" Director Liu asked.
"First, the military decision-making power of the Chi Army must belong to us. In other words, no matter what kind of military decisions the Chi Army makes in the future, they must inform us, and after the upper-level research and decision-making, we will give approval or not.
Order." Han Xian's regulations clearly stated: "Second, the appointment power of senior military officers must also be in our hands. Chen Nei's attitude is that they must give up the positions of 20 major military officers.
We will select people to supplement. Third, the military must open its financial data to us unconditionally, and we must also have specialized auditors to participate in financial work. Fourth, arms business dealings with the Chinese region must be supervised by us.
These items are non-negotiable and must be implemented."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, thinking that what was supposed to come had come.
As for the civil affairs officials, their previous request for Lao Li was to secure his position as mayor as soon as possible and secure his political rights.
Under this requirement, they would definitely not care if Lao Li went over the line a little bit and played on the sidelines.
This is why the higher-ups tacitly agree that Lao Li's team secretly produces military supplies and has some secret connections with capital in China.
But things are different now. The Chi army swallowed up the third division, which is equivalent to a qualitative change in its armed capabilities. The army of more than 20,000 people may lose control at any time.
And the most important thing is that this armed force is mainly Chinese! If it is impossible to control it, the chain reaction it will bring will also be unknown...
In addition, Lao Li secretly joined forces with the Chinese Trade Union Circle's Third Division on the mountain plan, and did not inform the upper management, so the upper levels were dissatisfied and sent people down to liquidate it.
Director Liu listened to the other party's words with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Isn't this difficult to do? We do have some contact with the Chi Army, but there is no way to completely control them. With these conditions, I guess Zhao Weihu...!"
"This is your problem." Han Xian stood up: "But these requirements are unchanged and non-negotiable."
After saying that, Han Xian walked outside: "Take the message to Lao Li, I'll wait for his news! By the way, tell him that hiding is useless, sooner or later we will have to make these things clear!"
…
after an hour.
Su Tianyu saw Lao Li who was fishing in the park: "The person who came here is not good!"
Lao Li sat firmly on the Diaoyutai: "Inform Jin Maohui to increase security patrols with the garrison!"
