"You know very well that the General Administration of Political Security does not collect intelligence on individual senators." Zhao Manxiong rejected all such attempts with these words, "It is very inappropriate for you as a senator to make such a request to us."
"Do you have a clear conscience when you say such things?"
"Do you believe in ghosts and gods?"
"What?!"
"If you believe it, I can make a spell." Zhao Manxiong said slowly.
After browsing through the detailed records of this conversation again, Zhao Manxiong signed his name and date, and closed the cover of the memo. He opened the smaller of the two safes in his office and put the memo inside.
"The secret police is a dangerous thing. Comrades, you don't understand." Zhao Manxiong muttered and locked the heavy steel door.
There was a rhythmic knock on the office door, and the secretary brought him the latest issue of the second issue. Only when he saw the latest issue of "Morning Star" did he realize that today was Saturday.
He opened the star and browsed through the catalog. According to his estimation, this issue of "Morning Star" must contain a large number of articles criticizing Emperor Zhao and the Hangzhou Station, and naturally there will also be a lot of articles defending them. This is an old trick of propaganda. Before the Executive Committee has made a specific stance and the Senate’s direction has not been determined, the propaganda slogan is always “neutral”.
The first article is very aggressive, with the title: Jeju satellite goes up to the sky, Hangzhou red flag falls to the ground. The author is signed by Spartacus and Iron Fist Creative Team.
Comrades, in the pioneering process of the Senate, Jeju Island is undoubtedly a successful example: time is fast. The cost is small, the benefits are large, and the future troubles are small. It has embarked on the road of positive circulation; while Hangzhou Station has become a model of negative teaching materials: the veteran Zhao spent a huge amount of time, manpower and material resources, but as a result, none of the basic tasks were completed, if it were not for some accidental factors , Hangzhou Station is already in disaster.
Why is there such a big contrast? The key is the difference in ideological lines. The ideological line is the foundation of everything. If the line is wrong, the greater the investment, the more opposite the effect will be. The reason why Jeju Island is successful. It lies in taking a mass line: destroying the government, slaughtering big households, liberating slaves, and using communes to organize workers. This route comes from the masses. Go among the masses and destroy the government and big households, and no one will come forward to oppose us; liberate and organize the working people, and the people will be grateful. Heroines like Kim Sam-soon and model units like the White Horses emerged.
Very regrettable. Some of us have forgotten the masses, separated ourselves from the people, and placed our hopes on the ruling class of bureaucrats and gentry. This is simply stupid. They greeted and flirted with wealthy gentry all day long, feeling happy and happy, as if they themselves had become an elegant and noble Ming Dynasty gentleman. This is called forgetting one's roots. This is called betrayal!
Don’t we have any lessons learned from the past? How prosperous was Ziminglou back then? It is like a beacon of fashion among the big houses in South China, but at the slightest sign of trouble, the true nature of the clay-footed giant is revealed. Until Guo Yuanlao returned to Guangzhou with the support of gunboats and bayonets. Only then did Ziminglou gain a foothold.
Ordinary people are a blank piece of paper that can be transformed and molded into citizens of a new society. The practices in Taiwan, Hainan, and Jeju Island have proven this.
However, it is harder for the royal family and gentry of Zhu Ming to be saved by the Song Dynasty than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle; they are just surprised or afraid of our strange skills, but in their hearts they still regard us as barbarians, and they need to be naturalized if we are gentler Us, the more radical ones want to destroy us.
Therefore, we must give up any illusions about Zhu Ming’s ruling class. Zhu Youjian and Yuan Conghuan, Sun Chengzong and Wu Sangui, Wang Chengen and Shi Kefa have no difference to us. Strictly speaking, these people are the same as the Spanish Governor of Manila and the Spanish Governor of Goa. The Portuguese bishop, the Tokugawa shogun of Edo, there was no difference. Between us and them, compromise and cooperation are temporary, partial, and relative, while struggle and destruction are permanent, total, and absolute. Between us and them, nothing but jihad is jihad.
I saw many heads, heads wearing tall black gauze hats, round heads, in the capital, in Nanzhili, and in Hangzhou, all ripe, as ripe as watermelons. Zhu Ming's land seemed to be just one piece of land. A melon field awaiting harvest.
…
Zhao Manxiong made a mark on the article with a pencil, and then there was another article: "Whose family is in charge of the world at Hangzhou Station? Is the Jiangnan Strategy of the Senate conquering the world for a certain person named Zhao?" ! ! 》.
Zhao Manxiong took a quick look and made a mark with a pencil. It seems that the firepower directed at Zhao Yingong is very fierce. He turned to the next few pages, which contained all kinds of bombarding articles. Many of the articles also involved the past events of Guangzhou Station and Leizhou Station. Matters in Shandong were also involved.
Emperor Zhao is a bit low-level. Zhao Manxiong thought to himself that this was a clear plan to pull the dispatch stations from all over the country into the water together, and play the trick of "one will be prosperous, one will be harmed". The expatriate elders and their supporters in Lingao are bound to jump out. When the time comes, old and new grudges break out together, and everyone starts arguing with each other, and no one cares about the Hangzhou station anymore.
Naturally, Zhao Yingong's purpose is to muddy the water. The muddier it is, the easier it is to pass. He, Zhao Manxiong, was not interested in the fate of this family member. His only interest was in the security departments of various foreign stations.
These departments are currently under the dual leadership of the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Office of Colonization and Trade. Although for the purpose of preventing rape, these personnel have secretly placed members of the Ten-member Regiment. At the same time, members of the Security Department also receive professional guidance and training from the Political Security Administration, but they do not fall under the management scope of the Political Security Administration.
The crisis at the Hangzhou station, especially the appearance of Hao Yuan, gave him a great opportunity to infiltrate the security department of the overseas station. He does not expect to seize the leadership of the Security Department, but he can at least set up a "political security team" within the Security Department and place his own staff in it openly.
Make the most of this opportunity. However, sending people to join the inspection team is a high-risk matter, and one must fully understand the spirit of the Executive Committee and the "wind direction" of the Senate.
While Zhao Manxiong was carefully studying the direction of the political trend, in a conference room in the Executive Committee compound, the leader of the Special Audit Committee for Purge and Sabotage - "Cheka" for short - had been identified as the leader of the inspection team. Comrade Yifan.
Comrade Yifan was talking to Ma Qianzhu, the direct leader of the Cheka: Cheng Dong. and Li Yan, the first director of the Foreign Intelligence Service.
Obviously Cheng Dong is a companion. Everyone knows that the specific problems of each foreign station are never just financial issues, but more about resource allocation and policy issues for the mainland strategy.
"...Comrade Yifan, you have a very heavy task." Ma Qianzhu sat on the sofa, leaning forward slightly. His forehead was half bald because he had been busy with work for a long time. "Many problems currently faced by foreign stations, It is not accumulated overnight. It is more the product of long-term expediency and the competition for interests among various departments. Therefore, I hope that when you go to various places this time, you will not only find problems in the accounts, but also find problems in all aspects. ―Especially those structural problems.”
"Yes, Comrade Ma Qianzhu." Yifan was now in a very excited and happy mood - the leader of the Central Inspection Team! To put it more "traditionally", he is an imperial envoy. Although he does not hold Shang Fang's sword in his hand, a pen for writing reports is as heavy as a thousand stones. It can be said that one word is life and one word is death. The political fate of many people will be in their own hands. He was almost in a trance.
Ma Qianzhu seemed to see what he was thinking, and continued: "You are now a person sent by the central government. What the local government tells you to listen to and see must be modified. You must have the heart to discern objective facts. --Don't be fooled."
"Yes, don't worry. I will guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and do all my work modestly and prudently with a learning attitude..."
Ma Qianzhu shook his hand: "If you want to express your determination, don't say it. The current situation in foreign stations is very complicated. Some obvious violations were originally forced. Some projects have already invested a lot of money, and some projects involve local governments." Some of them may be related to certain ministries and commissions of the central government. For all these projects, you must first find out the specific content and make sure there are no omissions; secondly, you must treat it with caution and objectively estimate the consequences. Don’t act rashly."
"I will not make any relevant decisions without the instructions of the executive committee." Yifan nodded with an extremely sincere attitude, thinking that Lao Ma's instructions were hesitant and ambiguous, so he should be more careful. "It's just that I still have a few things I'd like to ask for advice on."
"You tell me."
"If major problems are discovered during inspections, do we have the power to deal with them immediately? For example, detaining people and sealing accounts."
"The inspection team also has all the mandatory powers that the Cheka has." Ma Qianxu said, "However, any measures must not interfere with the normal operation of foreign stations - unless the inspection team believes that the current operation project is harmful to There is a serious danger in the Senate or foreign stations. You are here to find out the problem, not to eliminate the rebels."
“The final solution to the problem lies with the Executive Committee and the Senate.”
"Yes, I feel relieved if you understand this." Ma Qianzhu nodded approvingly, "There will also be comrades from the General Administration of Political Security and the Foreign Intelligence Service in this inspection team. Their work scope is different from yours, but I’ll talk to them and get them to fully cooperate with you.”
"Yes, I will also fully cooperate with their work." Yifan understood the implication of this statement.
"The Industrial Department, the Agricultural Department and the General Staff will also send a few people to go with them." Ma Qianzhu said nonchalantly, "As the team leader, you must do a good job in unity." (To be continued...)
