"After he returned to China, Li Guojie offended Yuan Shikai and was almost shot."
Wu Jingyi held a document in her hand: "Thanks to Xu Shichang's intercession, I was able to escape from danger. In the 16th year of the Republic of China, the Chairman of the Standing Committee appointed Zhao Tieqiao, a cadre, to take over the Shanghai Steamship Merchants Bureau. Li Guojie, who was the chairman of the Shanghai Steamship Merchants Bureau at that time, unexpectedly The killer Wang Yaqiao was invited to kill Zhao Tieqiao. The chairman of the committee immediately sent people to investigate the case, and Li Guojie was soon found. Li Guojie was arrested and imprisoned for "crimes of disrupting economic order" and decided to execute him.
At the critical moment, Duan Qirui personally came forward to intercede. Although Duan Qirui was in the opposition at the time, he still had a certain influence. The chairman of the committee could only let Li Guojie go in front of him.
After the Shanghai Incident, Li Guojie stayed in Shanghai and refused to go to Chongqing. According to reliable information, Li Guojie will take up the post of Minister of Transportation in the pseudo-reform government, and Director Dai personally issued the "anti-corruption order"! "
"knew."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly.
Who is Li Guojie?
He may not know many people.
But his grandfather became famous.
Li Hongzhang, a famous official in Wanqing!
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't figure it out. One was the son of the famous official Zhang Zhidong, and the other was the grandson of the famous official Li Hongzhang.
As for Zhang Xiangshuai, he ran industries and valued education. He was known as a "great revolutionary who did not talk about revolution."
As for Li Hefei, he almost single-handedly saved the Qing Dynasty from danger.
How come the descendants of two famous celebrities are so miserable?
As soon as the hoeing order came out, Li Guojie was either dead or alive.
It's okay, let's deal with him and Chen Lu together this time.
"I will be personally responsible for this matter." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and decided that it would be better for him to personally deal with Li Guojie.
Just assassinating Chen Lu and Li Guojie at the same time would probably cause an uproar in the country.
Li Guojie is Li Hongzhang's grandson, where is Chen Lu? His circle of friends is almost like a diplomatic envoy of the Republic of China.
Just kill.
No matter who you are, becoming a traitor will lead to death!
Before he could plan how to assassinate him, Yu Yanchu hurriedly walked in: "Something happened."
The current Yu Yanchu was transferred from the telecommunications department by Wu Jingyi and became her assistant.
"Why are you so nervous?" Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
"Chester Kendall disappeared in Shanghai."
Meng Shaoyuan had never heard of this person's name: "Who is this? What does it have to do with us? Go to the patrol room."
"This person is the plenipotentiary representative of the American J.P. Morgan consortium's business in my country. He came to our country this time and is said to have a special mission."
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.
Although he didn't know Kendall, he knew what he was doing in China.
After Wang Jingwei's rebellion, the international attitude toward China changed rapidly. The United States also resumed its loan business with China and sought deeper and more comprehensive cooperation.
The Morgan Group is one of the companies that cooperates with China.
Special mission? That was the representative of the U.S. government. It entered China in the name of a consortium representative only in order not to anger the Japanese.
This person disappeared in Shanghai, what's the point?
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became angry: "Why didn't we know about such an important person coming to Shanghai before? Why didn't anyone notify us and take charge of pick-up and protection tasks? Did something happen before they thought of us?"
This is also the helplessness of the military commander.
Throughout the war, they continued to do dirty work.
Sometimes they even become scapegoats.
What about the various government departments?
Some important matters were not discussed with the military commander.
Something has to happen?
In their eyes, the military commander is just a group of spies?
"Who delivered this news?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with a cold face.
"Not a pass, but an order."
"Order?"
Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Mr. Dai's order?"
"No, it was an order personally issued by Kong Xiangxi, the Executive President, the Minister of Finance, and the Governor of the Central Bank."
Holy shit!
A financial officer giving orders to a spy chief?
"This is a telegram sent by Minister Kong himself, ordering Shanghai to go all out to find the missing Kendall. At the same time, there is also a private telegram from Minister Kong to you."
Meng Shaoyuan had a headache.
There is some friendship between him and Kong Xiangxi, especially between him and his daughter Kong Lingyi.
I took the telegram and found it was from Kong Xiangxi as an elder. The general meaning is that there are American guests coming to China and passing through Shanghai, but the receptionist did not receive them, so Shanghai must be sure to find the American guests.
The words were vague.
Anyway, I just said that the American guest has been lost, and you, Meng Shaoyuan, can find it for me.
Later in the telegram, it was said that the person responsible for receiving Kendall in Shanghai was Meng Shaoyuan's old friend.
Old friend?
Who?
Meng Shaoyuan had no time to care about this: "Is this telegram sent in plain code or encrypted?"
"Clear code!"
"absurd!"
Meng Shaoyuan's expression changed a little.
He also did not dare to publicly criticize Kong Xiangxi: "What are those people in the Ministry of Finance doing? They are clearly generating electricity. Are you not fucking informing the Japanese? I can't do this. Whoever caused the trouble will be responsible!"
Wu Jingyi knew that it was her turn to come forward in this kind of thing: "Director Meng, the Ministry of Finance did make a mistake in this matter, but we still have to help deal with the aftermath. The first is a telegram sent to you by Minister Kong personally. This cannot be done to save face. No. Second, our military command will have to rely on them for future financial allocations. Shanghai may be less dependent on them, but Director Dai has to consider it."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed.
I can't poop quickly and I have to wipe my butt myself.
Now it's okay, we have to assassinate Chen Lu again, and we have to assassinate Li Guojie again.
Do you need to find an American?
This year has been very busy.
"Call Mr. Dai immediately and report the matter in detail."
Meng Shaoyuan did not dare to delay: "Where are the people sent to Shanghai from the Ministry of Finance now?"
"International Hotel."
Well, when you come here, know to stay at the International Hotel, because it is relatively safe there.
As for the notification, I didn’t even notify myself.
"Call Shen Li and Ye Rong back to me. Now the public concession is looking for information everywhere."
Meng Shaoyuan's face was not very cool, and he would be angry with anyone who got involved in this matter: "Wu Jingyi, keep an eye on me personally. If the Americans have something wrong in Shanghai, we will be in big trouble."
Would you say it's unlucky or not?
They came to Shanghai without notice, but if something went wrong, it would be the military commander's misfortune.
Who told you not to protect yourself?
Military Commander, you look majestic, but in the eyes of those big shots?
If you have something to do, there will be no beauty, but if you have nothing to do, summer will welcome spring.
"Prepare the car!"
"yes!"
Yu Yanchu hurriedly picked up the phone.
Is the person responsible for picking up Kendall his old friend?
Who?
It stands to reason that if an old friend comes to Shanghai, he should inform himself, right?
Meng Shaoyuan murmured in his heart.
I complained dissatisfied all the way to the International Hotel. When I saw Manager Ge, he said with a straight face:
"You bastard, you don't tell me when someone comes. Where does that person live now?"
