Hooligans and pickpockets are rampant.
The military commander remained silent.
The patrol house is on strike.
No. 76 openly carried weapons and entered the concession in violation of the law.
The concession has changed.
Sir Claes has lost control of the situation.
The Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will never allow this to happen.
The vote of no confidence in the board of directors was held as scheduled.
At the invitation of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Secret Service Headquarters sent deputy director Tang Huimin to participate in the meeting as a witness.
Lord Claes was furious.
He felt the board had betrayed him when he needed help the most.
This is simply intolerable!
But he was unable to reverse the situation.
"Mr. President, please give us some explanation on the current situation."
The first to attack was Mr. Lennett, the director.
Despite his deep dissatisfaction, Klass described the events in detail.
Of course, he completely shifted the responsibility to the military command.
"I have doubts about Mr. Chairman's words."
Mr. Maximilan said: "The cause of all problems lies in Article 16, which seriously undermines the independence and autonomy of the public concession."
"I protest!"
It was Japanese director Yamakawa Yukiharu who expressed his protest: "This is a deliberate attempt to undermine the good relations between the public concession and Japan!"
"The public concession has always maintained strict neutrality." Maximilan ignored him: "But this is no longer the case. The Chinese once protested, but they were rudely rejected by Mr. General Manager."
"These are all things done by the Chinese." Klass tried his best to defend himself: "Without them, the chaos like this would not have happened!"
"Then why did the concession maintain proper order before?"
Finally, Moyes started to take offense: "Before the arrival of the respected Mr. General Manager, although there were bloody incidents from time to time in the concession, the overall situation was relatively peaceful. However, after Mr. General Manager took a series of measures, everything changed. Everything is in chaos. What is our duty? To secure the concession, by any means necessary.
What actually happened to the concession? Everyone knows that in this incident, the military commander abided by the agreement with us and maintained great restraint. On the contrary, it was No. 76, the secret service headquarters, who blatantly violated the concession laws and entered the concession with guns. What was even more intolerable was that they openly opened fire in the downtown area! "
After speaking, he paused: "I request the entry of the first witness."
His request was granted.
The person who came in was Tang Huimin.
Lennett, who was in charge of presiding over the hearing, said in a calm tone: "Mr. Tang, we are old friends. I think you can ignore some unnecessary questions. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come. Now I want to ask A simple question for you, in this incident in the concession, did you and the organization you led get involved?"
"No." Tang Huimin said with a smile: "We strictly abide by the concession laws and will never trample them."
"Thank you for your answer." Lennet motioned to Moyes: "You can invite the following witnesses to come in."
What came in this time was something special.
is a prisoner.
Feng Shoucheng!
"Mr. Feng Shoucheng, is this your confession? Please read it more clearly."
Feng Shoucheng walked over and looked at it: "Yes, this is my confession."
"Then, please tell everyone here how this happened." Moyes looked serious: "I will ask the directors to compare your confession."
"OK."
Feng Shoucheng cleared his throat: "My name is Feng Shoucheng, and I belong to the Secret Service Headquarters. I was ordered to enter the public concession and help maintain order, so as to expand the influence of the Secret Service Headquarters in the concession, and even further control the public concession!"
"That's nonsense!"
Tang Huimin couldn't help but interrupt him: "This is a slander against us. None of us have done such a thing, and we don't know this person!"
asshole!
"Current public opinion? Continue to put pressure on the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau? What about the Secret Service Headquarters? Of course they will categorically deny this? They will not admit your existence? You will even be treated as outcasts!"
The words of the person who interrogated him that day came to Feng Shoucheng's mind.
That's right? Abandoned son, he was really abandoned!
"But what will happen to you after you go to prison? Do you think the military commander will let you go?"
That day, that person said these few words.
No? I don’t want to die yet.
Feng Shoucheng decided to fight to the death and fight for his own survival:
"I'm not lying? My superior is Han Guanglin, from the Special Agent Headquarters Inspection Team, and my companion is Li Shaozheng? He was arrested with me. He can prove that everything I said is true!"
He talked endlessly, telling everything he knew, including all the secrets of No. 76.
"Shut up!" Tang Huimin looked livid: "I repeat, we were not involved in the so-called incident, and I don't know this person at all!"
"Tang Huimin, you want to kill people and silence them!" Feng Shoucheng shouted: "I still have evidence, I still have evidence!"
"enough."
Lennet interrupted the farce: "Please let the witnesses go down first. Mr. Tang, I thank you again for your cooperation."
Tang Huimin was not willing to stay for a minute.
He must report back what happened here.
"There was a blatant shooting incident in the downtown area." Lennett held several reports in his hand: "Many people can prove that they are No. 76. Gentlemen, how sad, a man who is loyal to his duty and protects the security of the concession all year round. The police chief was forced to resign. Then, the security of the concession was actually handed over to a group of spies? "
"Public opinion has begun to report this matter." Maximilan's face was not good-looking: "We will be ridiculed as a group of incompetent people. Our expatriates in the concession will also feel scared and will no longer trust our leadership. .The situation is not completely out of control yet, so now, I think we still have ways to make up for it!"
"According to the latest news, given the chaos in the concession, strikes, market strikes, and school strikes are very likely to happen again." Moyes emphasized this point in particular: "When that time comes, what should we do? Suppress?"
"That's not a good idea." Lennet said flatly: "This will only add fuel to the fire. Stability, stability, the concession must be stable above all else. I think it's time for someone to take responsibility!"
Yes, it's time for someone to take responsibility.
Everyone has their eyes on Klaas.
"Do you want to talk to me, Mr. Lennet?" Klass, who was struggling to his death, said angrily: "Everything I did was for the safety of the public concession. I swear that I personally have absolutely no selfish motives. This is A gentleman's oath."
"Of course I will choose to believe you." Lentner then said: "But I suggest a vote of no confidence!"
