"Sir, why do you want us to go to Guangxi?"
"The telegram said to rectify government affairs." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "But how to rectify it is not stated clearly at all. This matter is not easy to handle."
"What's not easy to do?" Li Zhifeng muttered: "With Boss Dai's telegram, you are the imperial envoy. With Shang Fang's sword in hand, who are you afraid of?
Besides, if it’s not just a Guangxi station, what kind of background can it have? You are the Director of Operations after all. "
"You know shit."
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but cursed: "In our military command, each station is divided into three categories: A, B, and C. Shanghai, Tianjin, Peiping, Sichuan, and Yunnan are Class A stations with a staff of 160 people. During wartime, the scale is allowed to more than double.
When we were in Shanghai, we had such a large staff, but in fact more than 90% of them were not on staff, which is what we call non-staff members. But there are already more than 300 people on staff.
Guangxi Station is a Category B station. According to regulations, there are 110 personnel on staff. Even in wartime, there are only about 200 people on staff. Counting the leaders of the Loyalty and Salvation Army at all levels, the number of people who receive pay from the headquarters will not exceed Three hundred people.
But do you know how many people there are in Guangxi Station? Apart from other things, there are 150 people working in the Guilin group alone! "
"No way." Li Zhifeng was surprised: "More than half of the members of the Guangxi Station are concentrated in Guilin?"
"There are five hundred people in Guangxi Station who receive their salary from the headquarters." Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "In other words, the scale of a Category B station far exceeds that of a Category A station.
When I was in Shanghai, in order to boost morale, we developed a large number of registered agents, but the salary was all handled by ourselves in Shanghai.
It is different in Guangxi. When the day comes, the salary will be paid on time. I have seen the roster of Guangxi Station. There is an old lady, who is sixty-two years old, and she is also working as an agent?
I asked and guess what? He said that this old lady was an expert in marksmanship, commanded the loyal and righteous national salvation army, and made many military exploits. Do you believe this? "
"Repeated military exploits? What achievements have you made?" Li Zhifeng scratched his head: "Guangxi is the rear area. In the 28th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army attacked Guangxi once, but they did not take any advantage.
In addition, Guangxi has always been peaceful, and the lives of ordinary people have not been affected by the war. On the contrary, it also accepted a large number of refugees, especially overseas Chinese. Isn't it called the 'third hometown of overseas Chinese'?
Guangxi Loyalty Salvation Army? Haven't you heard that they went out to fight in the province? This is a bit strange. "
"Everyone knows what's going on. Isn't it just a matter of forging rosters, emptying pay, and filling one's own pockets?" Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "This kind of thing often happens in the national army, but in our military commander?
Mr. Dai hates this kind of thing very much. He did it once at Jiangxi Station and lost more than a dozen heads for it. But how dare Guangxi do this? "
Li Zhifeng seemed to understand: "There is someone behind Guangxi Station, and even Boss Dai doesn't dare to move easily?"
"Yes, there is someone behind it." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Su Yeguang, the former station chief of Guangxi Station, was transferred after less than a year in Guangxi. Because he couldn't beat Wan Cheng'an, the leader of the Guilin group!"
"Ah!" Li Zhifeng opened his mouth wide: "Can't a webmaster defeat a team leader? Yes, our group has great power, but it doesn't mean that the webmaster is helpless, right?"
"If you can't fight, you can't fight. What can you do?" Meng Shaoyuan also felt helpless: "Wan Chengan's backstage is Lai Gang!"
"Lai Gang, Director of the Wall Demolition Department?"
"Yes, it's him!"
Li Zhifeng finally figured it out.
This person, when Ah was the Lieutenant General Director of the Security Department, personally supervised the demolition of the two ancient cities in the north and south of Fuyang in order to flatter him.
In addition, the Baiyi Tower, an ancillary building on the city, and the Liu Gong Temple and Wenchang Pavilion outside the city were all demolished.
The folks in Fuyang knelt down and begged not to demolish the city, or to only symbolically tear down part of the city wall, but he would not allow it, urging them to completely demolish it in accordance with the orders from above.
To this day, people in Fuyang hate him deeply when this matter is mentioned.
This guy is from Xingning, Guangdong, graduated from the first class of Huangpu, and graduated from the general class of the Lushan Officer Training Corps.
He was previously a member of the Lixing Society and the Inspirational Group.
Now he is the commander of the Fifth Independent Division of Guangxi and the lieutenant general director of the Guangxi Provincial Security Department, with great power.
No wonder, since Wan Chengan has this background, he can naturally be confident.
"Guangxi belongs to Li and Bai's Guangxi, the one above." Meng Shaoyuan pointed to the top of his head: "Lai Gang was used to contain Li and Bai, so our boss Dai can't do anything to him.
Wan Chengan deliberately made friends with Lai Gang. In Guangxi, as long as Lai Gang didn't nod, nothing could be accomplished. Boss Dai is also worried.
If you look at the order on the telegram, it is to rectify government affairs. How to rectify it? There is no explanation at all about the extent of the rectification, who can be touched and who cannot be touched.
It seemed that it gave me great rights, but in fact, there was a big fire pit in front of me. If I’m not careful, I might not be able to leave Guangxi. "
Romance
"It's not that serious." Li Zhifeng was dumbfounded: "You are Wan Chengan's immediate boss after all. What can he do to you?"
"What can he do to me? What can I do to him." Meng Shaoyuan stared ahead: "I am not afraid of the Japanese, but I am really afraid of my compatriots around me.
In the occupied areas, I could go whenever I wanted, and the Japanese couldn't stop me. The commander there was also willing to assist me.
Why? Because we have common interests. Those who can persevere in the occupied areas are a group of people who sincerely resist the war and are determined to do so. So we can resolve some small conflicts.
The rear? That's completely different. There were no Japanese troops to be seen there, and the people were singing and dancing peacefully. I just returned to Chongqing and was tricked. When I went to the expeditionary force, I was tricked again.
I'm afraid it will be the same when I go to Guangxi this time. Guangxi Taiping, Wan Chengan also took advantage of Guangxi's geographical advantage facing Southeast Asia to engage in smuggling.
After the fall of Wuhan, Guangzhou and other places, a large number of refugees poured into Guangxi. He took the opportunity to make a fortune from the refugees. I heard that some refugees said that Wan was more vicious than the Japanese.
Wan Chengan will definitely feel threatened when I go to Guangxi this time. The rectification of Guangxi is actually mainly about the rectification of Guilin. Will he be willing to give up and just let me do whatever I want?
When I said that I might not be able to live without Guilin, I was really not being alarmist. It would be a big joke if I, the dignified Meng Shaoyuan, had not died in the hands of the Japanese, but had been plotted by my own people. "
Li Zhifeng began to worry when he heard this: "How about we immediately mobilize more people from Chongqing?"
"Manpower must be mobilized." Meng Shaoyuan pondered there for a while and said: "Transfer all Yi Mingyan and the others, I'm so damn greedy for life and afraid of death, I don't want my head to be removed by my own people.
Also, Wan Chengan must have enemies in Guangxi. The top priority is to find these people and use them to strengthen our own power! "
