"Nowadays, most of the elders are dissatisfied with the Political Security Bureau's deployment of hidden agents everywhere, but to be honest, the previous incidents failed to completely defeat them. Although they are very low-key now, the work of arranging hidden agents has not stopped for a moment. . This time such a big incident happened in Wuzhou, of course Elder Xie is responsible, but what about the Political Security Bureau? Isn’t it more responsible? After the establishment of this bureau, no results were seen, and it caused a lot of big and small things. Early on It’s time to completely clamp down on this – otherwise, why would the police be needed?!”
Wang Qiyi knew that his wife had the intention of "killing someone with a borrowed knife". He knew in his heart that although the Political Security Bureau was annoying, it had a detached status and was basically not involved in the internal struggles of the Senate. If you open fire on the political security at this moment, not to mention what cards the other party has at their disposal, it will be considered a rift in the future.
From any angle, the Political and Security Bureau does not hinder the work of the Finance and Taxation Bureau, and Wu Mu is also very cooperative with his work in Guangzhou. To criticize them just because they "can't stand it", "hate them" and "do not match their three views" is to be honest, it is a kind of political infantile disease.
He coughed lightly, and just when he was about to speak, Ai Zhixin shook his head: "Ju Zhang, this can't be done. The Political and Security Bureau has never offended us. What's the point in fighting them? It's meaningless... …”
Wang Qiyi also quickly added: "I don't think it is necessary. Many of the cases we handled in Guangzhou were cooperated with them. And everyone cooperated happily in all the work. If we want to open fire, we have to have a few famous people in the Senate." The stabbing head will fire first, and we will stand aside from the side."
Zhang Xiaoqi originally did it on a whim, but now he changed his mind and thought it was inappropriate. When Chu Xiaoran committed suicide, Wu Mu's side was still very cooperative. If he had stepped forward to stab them first, not to mention what Zhao Manxiong and the others would think, the other elders would also be chilled when they saw it.
"In this case, how about revealing the relevant content to Shan Liang and the others..."
"No, it's not necessary." Wang Qiyi shook his head, "Yan Guo left a message. Anyway, someone will take the initiative to leak these reports to them. There is no need for us to do it ourselves."
"That's fine." Ai Zhixin nodded, "In that case, let's file it first and pretend we don't know..."
Wang Qiyi suddenly remembered something and asked his wife: "You mentioned last time that a lot of the funds for the Political Security Bureau come from special extra-budgetary channels - there must be such funding in Guangdong, right?"
"Of course." Zhang Xiaoqi nodded, "Guangdong basically uses special funding channels..."
"Have they all been sent through?"
"Of course." Zhang Xiaoqi felt strange, "What's the use of leaving this money in the account? Moreover, the Guangdong side of the Political Security Bureau has very little funds, and the head fee accounts for the majority."
"Just dial it down." Wang Qiyi murmured to himself, "I'm afraid there will be a big disturbance in the Senate."
Sure enough, Xie Erren's reports were delivered layer by layer, and all the elders who looked at them were shocked. Because the city was attacked, the elders were captured for a time. This was the first time since D-Day. Although the Senate did not suffer much damage in the overall situation, the problems revealed behind the scenes were seen by many people.
Throughout the Guangdong and Guangxi campaigns, from a military perspective, Fubo's army was invincible, invincible and invincible. After entering August, not only had the entire province of Guangdong been captured to achieve the campaign goal, but progress in Guangxi was also rapid. Two-thirds of the prefectures and counties set up by Ming Dynasty in Guangxi under the rule of exiled officials had been captured. The rest is occupied by a small number of Ming troops, just hanging on. Although Xiong Wencan's situation is unknown, his current life and death are meaningless to the war situation. Some chieftains in Guangdong and Guangxi have sent envoys to the Senate to show their submission. Even the bandit riots and Yao rebellions that once broke out in various places have calmed down under timely suppression. Although the wars have not subsided, in general, there is no Ming army or other force that has the ability to pose a threat to the entire Guangdong and Guangxi strategy.
But under the glorious appearance are increasingly weak logistical supplies and diluted troops and cadres in a vast area. Whether it is Commander Xi Yazhou who is directing the operations, Bei Wei who is in charge of the security war in the two provinces in Guangzhou, and Hong Huangnan who is in charge of logistics, they all now have a deep understanding of the fact that the Japanese are in China, the Soviet troops are in Afghanistan, and the Americans are in Iraq. situation.
The front is long, transportation and supplies are weak, and military strength is lacking. At almost every point, the South China Army was understrength. A large number of improvised National Army squadrons in the rear were defeated and severely damaged. Although a number of excellent teams were trained through the war, the losses in personnel and equipment were real.
Due to the lack of sufficient cadres and garrison troops in the occupied cities, most of them had difficulty carrying out work and could only protect themselves. This makes many newly occupied areas not only unable to provide resources, but also consume a large amount of resources.
The Wuzhou incident is just a representative of the current embarrassing situation of the Senate in Guangdong and Guangxi. This is very clear to both Wen Desi in Guangdong and Wang Luobin, Ma Qianzhu and Wu De in Lingao.
"I think the war situation in Guangdong and Guangxi is changing towards Iraq." Bei Wei frowned in a conference room of the Guangdong Regional Government.
"Let's not set up a flag for ourselves." Wen Desi said, "I think it's time to end the war with dignity..."
Hong Nanhuang said: "Mr. Wen, once you say what you said, a group of war factions in the Senate heard it, and they have to label you as a capitulator."
"To be honest, if Chongzhen is willing to come to peace talks with us now, I won't object - at least there can be no fighting during the peace talks, and the army can breathe for a while. If we continue to fight like this, the troops will consume too much," Wen Desi said, "We will If we are not barbarians, what does cutting off more heads mean to us?”
"The Ming Army is not a problem now, the key is that our front is too long." Bei Wei said, "We have now awarded more than 300 National Army squadron designations, far exceeding the planned 150 squadrons - just In this way, various places are asking for more security forces." Bei Wei said, "However, this is not the biggest problem, I am more worried about the Senate..."
"Another uproar." Wen Desi nodded and said, "Needless to say, some people who are worried about the world being in chaos are getting excited again."
The people present naturally understood what Wen Desi was referring to.
"Xie Erren is nothing," Wen Desi said. "He poked this hole, so he probably has some consciousness. It won't be difficult for us to send another shrewd and capable elder to clean up the mess in Wuzhou - the worst will not be bad. Where to go. However, I suspect he is not telling the whole truth..."
"You mean..."
"I learned from some channels that the causes and consequences of Xie Yiren's capture are relatively complicated. These circumstances are currently not in Xie Yiren's report. I'm worried that once the news spreads, there will not be an uproar in the Senate, but a huge uproar. It’s a waste.”
The elders here know very well that if things get complicated and the roots of the Wuzhou Incident are dug out, almost none of the elders here will be spared. Not only will they not be spared, but also Xi Yazhou, Guangzhou and Lingao who are far away on the front line. Many ministries, commissions and agencies in the local area are at risk.
"You can't let people use the topic to their advantage!" Bei Wei frowned and said, "The atmosphere in the Senate is so bad now! It's all a glass-hearted style that can't get rid of the sand in its eyes!"
"I'm afraid the current situation is more complicated than in the past." Hong Huangnan said, "I'm actually not too worried about the well-known opposition. But I'm afraid some forces will use this as an excuse to completely deny going to the mainland. It is a national policy to conquer Guangdong and Guangxi.”
"You mean the 'Southern Sect'?" Liu Xiang interjected.
The so-called southbound faction has been advocating that the Senate invest resources in Southeast Asia and develop colonies in order to obtain the rich natural resources there.
Originally, this kind of voice had always existed, but after the mainland strategy was launched, the public opinion offensive of the southward faction became stronger and stronger, attracting people everywhere. There is no doubt that they will never miss this great opportunity.
"Exactly." Hong Huangnan said, "A few days ago they besieged Si Kaide at the Senate hearing and made him very embarrassed. This intention was too obvious. Now that the Xie Erren incident has come out, I'm afraid this will negate the plan to go north..."
"It's a joke, we shed blood and sweat to defeat Guangdong and Guangxi, and a few elders sitting at the back and talking about it want to deny it?! Are they worthy?!" Bei Wei said angrily.
"Old Bei, whether they deserve it or not is another matter, but the Wuzhou Incident is definitely a big deal right now. Although Xie Erren is in peace, how many people in the Senate are waiting to eat his human blood steamed buns. Let's think about it first. Get over this."
"Old Hong, I think you are worrying too much." Liu Xiang said, "The plan to go north was originally to occupy the entire territory of Guangdong and Guangxi. So what will happen no matter how much they make a fuss? We can't all retreat back to Hainan, right? I don’t think anyone has the guts to say such a thing!”
"Liu Dafu, you are too secure as mayor, and you know very little about the current situation in Lingao." Hong Huangnan said, "It is naturally impossible to give up on Guangdong and Guangxi. But the Guangdong and Guangxi strategy will cost a lot of money. , thus stopping the construction of Guangdong and Guangxi is the most serious consequence of this matter."
"What?!" Liu Xiang has been dreaming about "Jing Zhaoyin" and planning the "Greater Guangzhou" plan in his mind. Lao Hong's words were like Doudou pouring a basin of ice water on him.
"You must know that when the Government Affairs Council proposed that after the Guangdong-Guangxi strategy was completed, the focus of construction would be shifted to the Pearl River Delta region. This specifically included the relocation of the entire Senate to Guangzhou and the relocation of some industrial properties. At that time, there was a relatively strong backlash within the Senate. These senators Although they are not southbound, they are optimistic about using this opportunity to oppose the relocation of the capital and industrial relocation. At this moment, they are likely to join forces."
