Chapter 23 of the Family and the Nation, Guess
Zhang Shi came at the right time, and the men and women in the lobby dispersed before they even talked.⊥ He didn’t know what the men and women were thinking, but only knew that the briefing in his hand was crucial. Therefore, after Yang Rui took off all the others, his tense face smiled bitterly. After handing over the briefing, he said: "Sir, the situation is worse than we imagined!"
The briefing is very thick and the secret level is the highest. You can sort out so many things in such a short time. Yang Rui looked at him with some complaint. He held the briefing tightly and asked, "How bad is it?"
"Most of the students studying in the United States sent by Tsinghua School belong to an organization similar to the fraternity." Zhang Shi lowered his head, "And..., and..., since Mr. Yung Wing, this organization has existed..." Yang Rui's face became heavier and he almost pounded the table on the spot. Zhang Shi had to finish the information, "The Qing Dynasty's plan to suspend the overseas students was to withdraw the children studying in the United States, because of this."
With a squeak, Yang Rui stood up and hit the table with only one side. The friction between the legs of the table and the floor was extremely harsh. He felt his whole body hot at this time and said loudly: "Can you say that this organization has existed since the Rong Hong organized young children studying in the United States and has continued to this day? Could it be that the students studying in the United States have been all American spies since Zhan Tianyou?!"
Yang Rui's question was a bit difficult to answer. Zhang Shi said after he was silent: "Sir, these people are not spies, and they have not conveyed any information to the United States, but their hearts are thinking about the United States, and they also hope that our country will become the same as the United States in the future. What Mr. Taiyan said is that students studying in the United States are close to each other, and that these people are good at uniting to fight for power and profit. The current situation is that students studying in the United States are willing to use students studying in the United States. They are even willing to use work reports in English..."
"Will these people rebel?" Yang Rui asked. Zhang Shi said a lot. His concern was that these people did not belong to, nor could they belong to the Revival Society system. They formed their own faction and could not control them. However, Yang Rui understood the power of these people based on history. Especially when the Kuomintang was in power, the political arena was basically the world where people were born in the United States. It is said that Song Ziwen and others only read English reports, and they were disdainful of Chinese reports. They were completely a banana person. The so-called inclusive Peking University under the rule of Cai Yuanpei in the Republic of China, the so-called dispute between new and old cultures, was fundamentally a struggle between Hu Shi and other students studying in the United States and Japanese students...
Yang Rui suddenly thought of Peking University and the school department, but Zhang Shi was answering Yang Rui's question, "Sir, rebellion is impossible. These people should be very small, not more than one thousand. Their better way is to occupy confidential departments to maximize their influence, and then use public opinion to oppose the government, and ultimately implement democracy and freedom."
"Public opinion? Where are their public opinion?" Yang Rui asked, but when he asked, he linked the matter with his thoughts just now, he said: "It is not public opinion at all, but learning intentions. These top-notch people who are gentle and polite, advocate democratic republic and cherish their lives are the best way to organize batches of students to come out and die!"
Zhang Shi's task is to explore external intelligence. Moreover, these tasks are more aimed at military, science and technology, and monitoring the work of international students in their country has always been the matter of the National Security Bureau. Their work cannot be said to be dereliction of duty. At least students who go out of the Chinese Education Association are safe. The danger is those students who directly belong to church schools and Tsinghua schools. However, in order to obtain the US extraterritorial legal rights and concessions to the right of inland navigation, these schools still exist, but are included in the school system.
"Sir. What should I do next?" Zhang Shi asked. In his opinion, this potential threat should be cleared as soon as possible.
"What else can we do?" Yang Rui suddenly laughed. "As long as there is no evidence, the most we can do is to transfer these people from confidential positions. Strictly prevent these people from getting in touch with core secrets. Don't forget that these people, like Hu Shi and others with broken legs, are celebrities who can't come up with reasons once they are arrested, but they will give them a handle; not to mention Zhan Tianyou and others, it is indeed his credit for being able to repair the Western Regions Railway on time. Can I clean up people like him who have made merit without any mistakes?"
He said to himself at this point, "Forget everything else, the most important thing is that the national key laboratory cannot be penetrated by these people!" After saying that, he picked up the phone and said to the secretariat: "Please come by Mr. Hua Feng!"
All key laboratories are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works. How harmful these students studying in the United States depends on their penetration of several key laboratories. Only Xu Huafeng can explain this matter clearly, so Yang Rui asked him to come. Taking advantage of Xu Huafeng's future, Zhang Shi began to report another matter. "Sir, the Italian national fascist party marched into Rome the day before yesterday. Earlier today, its leader Mussolini was appointed as the Italian Prime Minister by King Emanuel III..."
"Oh. Good news!" Yang Rui laughed rare. Although there was no Hitler, history still started at the pace. Mussolini was the harbinger of the Nazis. "What's the situation in Germany? The one you mentioned last time... Strathor, what is he doing now? And his adjutant Sylem..."
"Strather has now become the leader of the German Workers' Party. They were inspired by Mussolini's victory. Hilem was still his assistant and is now in charge of the propaganda work of the Workers' Party." Zhang Shi said, and he asked curiously: "Sir, can these people usurp the power of the German government?"
Heinrich Shireme is an introduction, and Gregor Strathor was brought out by Shireme, which was something that Yang Rui had never heard of. Before joining the Workers' Party, this person belonged to the Free Legion of General Von Ep, Bavaria. Before the Free Legion, this person was a lieutenant officer of the First Field Artillery Corps of Bavaria. Unlike the Iron Cross Medal of the Head of State who regularly awarded messengers, this ordinary soldier from artillery was awarded a first-class and a second-class Iron Cross Medal, and was eventually promoted to a lieutenant. This is extremely rare. Artillery not only made meritorious due to its blood and courage.
Flashing past this Strathor, Yang Rui shook his head and said, "Germany is not Italy. Can these people still march like Berlin? Of course, unless expected, stimulated by Mussolini, these people will probably come to Berlin to march once. You will pay attention to it at that time."
Yang Rui was prophesy again, and Zhang Shi's eyes were glowing. He nodded heavily. He felt that Xu Huafeng was coming soon, so he hurriedly said: "Sir. We also got a message that Miss Rebecca also joined the Workers' Party..."
"What?!" Yang Rui was shocked. "What did she go to her house as a woman? It's simply nonsense!"
"Who is making trouble? Haha..." Xu Hua appeared in the lobby with a refreshing look. Although he failed to become the vice premier as he wished, he was still in charge of the Ministry of Works. This is his favorite and the most dedicated work. If he really wants to become the vice premier, he probably would have thrown all government affairs to Yang Rui. He cannot do without the Chinese industry under construction.
"No, I'm talking about that little devil Rebecca. I don't want to go back to China, and I don't stay in Germany. I always do something..." Yang Rui looked at Zhang Shi deeply and then said lightly.
"Is it Lao Lei's daughter?" Xu Huafeng asked, and he smiled, "She is already sixteen, no, it should be eighteen or nineteen. Didn't it mean that Wuji from the Jimin family likes her? Why..."
Rebecca's childhood sweetheart playmate is Cai Wuji and his group. It is said that Cai Wuji likes her too, but I don't know why things have not been done. She is not close to Leo in Germany, but she has a close relationship with Rudendolf and Christian, the prodigal businessman. Even so, it is still a surprise to Yang Rui that she will join the German Workers' Party.
He called Xu Huafeng over to talk about his children's affair. Yang Rui vaguely said: "Hey, let them worry about their children's affairs by themselves. Mr. Huafeng, there are important things to discuss here!"
After Yang Rui said that, he handed him the briefing submitted by Zhang Shi on the table. With a cigarette, Xu Huafeng was sweating profusely. "It turns out, this... what should I do? There are many students studying in the United States in the Ministry of Works!"
"The Ministry of Works can no longer care about it, and even Zhan Tianyou has problems. We still care about what the Ministry of Works does!" Yang Rui shook his head and said, "The key is the National Key Laboratory. How many students from Tsinghua University are there? If they are in. What key positions are these people? Can these people be transferred to other places?"
Nuclear energy, computers, transistors, jet engines, radars, and rockets. These six are the most critical key laboratories. Once the research data inside is leaked, the damage will be disastrous. China is a poor country, and the research and development of atomic bombs in World War II cost 2 billion US dollars. Now the tax revenue of the Ministry of Revenue is about to exceed 2 billion Chinese yuan, but for experimental projects with a total cost of more than 10 billion Chinese yuan, the only way is to extend the time and invest in installments. Once the wealthy United States understands the importance of experiments, even if there is no accumulation, its large investment can surpass China's efforts for more than ten years in just a few years. This is what Yang Rui fears the most.
Yang Rui cared about these six key laboratories, but Xu Huafeng thought that all key laboratories were important. He sweated and said, "It turned out that there were 15 key laboratories, and many students studying in the United States were all..."
"I don't care about welding." Yang Rui said helplessly, "I'm talking about number A to number himself. Are there any students studying in the United States in these six key laboratories?"
"Can number A get to the number A?" Xu Huafeng thought to himself. Thanks to his science student's mind, he said: "There must be some, but the core personnel are not them. Only the computer laboratory has several people who understand the project."
"That's right." Yang Rui also thought. Computers are not entirely powerful weapons of war. What he is most concerned about is nuclear energy and radar.
"It's true." Xu Huafeng nodded, "The key to nuclear energy and rockets is chemical industry, jet engines, transistors involve metallurgy, radar is electronics, these are not the strengths of the United States. Radio stations produced in the United States are not as good as us. Only computers are ahead, and we have to buy their patents and borrow some talents. In fact, is computers very important?"
"It's not important yet," said Yang Rui. At this time, ibm company has not been established, but the United States already has watchmakers, hand-cranked computers, etc., and its theory has also been developed. It is considered to be the country with the best foundation in all countries. "But it is very important in the future. These people still need to find ways to transfer them into other projects. If they really don't work, they will disband the laboratory."
"I understand." Xu Huafeng nodded, and after he said that, he asked again: "What should other laboratories do?"
"Other laboratories..., if these people can be by other students..." Yang Rui said this and turned his head to look at Zhang Shi, saying, "Can those students who stay in Europe have such a fraternity organization?"
"Mr. Report, I haven't found it yet!" Zhang Shi said. "But now that European socialist thoughts are rampant, they should have been exposed to these things to a greater or lesser extent..."
"I don't care about this. What I care about is the international students before the founding of the Soviet Union. I was too young after that, even if I came back, I might not be able to take on the heavy responsibility." After Yang Rui said that, he looked at Xu Huafeng again. "If these students studying in the United States are irreplaceable, then let them continue to study. Let others take over after breaking through the key points. It really doesn't work, just like Nastella, with comprehensive monitoring."
After Nikola Stella was incorporated, he was arranged to be in a secret place in the United States. Now he is in charge of the radio remote control laboratory. In order to prevent the leak of scientific research results, in addition to letting white agents sign contracts with him, he is also ready to clean it at any time. Once the war between China and the United States begins, Stella's research results are likely to be used for the US side, which is absolutely not allowed.
"I understand..." This time Xu Huafeng said helplessly. He understood very well what comprehensive monitoring means. "What should we do if the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Transportation?"
"These people have no choice. Apart from finding ways to transfer them from key positions," Yang Rui shook his head. "What we can do is to strengthen surveillance and think of remedial measures in advance. This matter also requires Xuanqing's cooperation..."
"Would you like to ask her now..." Xu Huafeng asked. The country is the place of the National Security Bureau, and the Intelligence Bureau cannot control it. Now that there is such a big hidden danger, I must tell Qiu Jin.
"Wait for this!" Yang Rui said, "Students studying in the United States are not reliable... There is a reason. What do you think Xuanqing will think of this? Do you think it was made on purpose?"
Xu Huafeng is entirely his own person, and his relationship is closer than Yang Rui, Xu Guantian and Xie Zhangtai. Specifically, both of them are Industrial Party. Xu Huafeng wants to build China into a country more modern than Western Europe. In addition to his fame, he has the will to live up to his father and brother's wishes; while Yang Rui needs a solid industrial system so that he will not waste precious opportunities and make progress in World War II. He gives the Chinese a better future.
Zhang Taiyan and Qiu Jin are just neutral characters, and they all have their own pursuits. One is not only to preserve the national treasures, but the other is just hopeful that the people will no longer suffer, but the other is just hoped that women will no longer suffer. Moreover, neither of them wants to fight among others. Finally, Cai Yuanpei, although he only has one person, thanks to the reputation of righteousness in Hangzhou, and as the real founder of the Patriotic Society and the true founder of the Chinese Education Association, his reputation in the Revival Society is no less than Yang Rui. The generals in the Revival Army were all his students before becoming Yang Rui's students.
If there is a problem with students studying in the United States, it will naturally be inseparable from Yu Zixun who has been in the United States for many years. Because of Yu Zixun's closeness with Cai Yuanpei, it will not be inseparable from Cai Yuanpei. Qiu Jin is open-minded and once it is confirmed that there is a problem with students studying in the United States, he will naturally inform Cai Yuanpei and question Yu Zixun. They know that it means that all students studying in the United States know, so Yang Rui doesn't like telling Qiu Jin about this.
Although Yang Rui said he was worried that Qiu Jin would misunderstand, Xu Huafeng understood the inner thoughts completely. He asked, "Why don't you tell Xuanqing how to monitor these people?"
"The National Security Bureau cannot be placed on Xuanqing's hands." Yang Rui said. The cigarette on his mouth was clearly extinguished and smoke was shrouded in smoke.
"Who will I leave it to?" Xu Huafeng heard Cai Yuanpei question Yang Rui when he used the National Security Bureau to monitor everyone. It was precisely because of this excuse that the National Security Bureau handed it over to Qiu Jin. Now it is impossible for Yang Rui to get it back, and everyone will object. The power is too great after all, especially because he will be re-elected for 20 years.
"Can you give it to Uncle Mei?" Yang Rui spat out a mouthful of cigarettes and asked with a smile. "Xuanqing still has the right to know the power."
"Uncle Mei..." Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Taiyan. Xu Huafeng was stunned. "Can he take care of it? For what reason?"
"Uncle Mei is now the vice premier, Xuanqing is just the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the patrol police are in her hands. Isn't it unnecessary for the National Security Bureau to add? The National Security Bureau is a national department and neither of the two prime ministers can be involved, that's too unreasonable." Yang Rui said his reasons, "As for Uncle Mei can manage it, this is not a problem. The question is whether Jimin will object. We have the advantage of the Standing Committee, but we may not have the advantage of the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee."
"Where is that uncle? Even if you hand it over to him, he may not be..." Xu Huafeng said.
"That's what I do with Uncle Mei." Yang Rui said. He immediately talked about Zhang Taiyan's plan to divide the feudal, saying: "Yang Zengxin said: There are no good people going to Yangguan west; immigrants cannot defeat the Kazakh indigenous people without the protection of the Fuxing Army. Even if they have guns, I agreed to implement the transformation and return to the land in Beiting. Uncle Mei couldn't put it down after reading the report. After investigation, he wanted to move this to the pass. Of course, the pass is not called transformation and return to the land. Instead, it is called the empire. It is said that the Warring States countries are bounded... In fact, it is to use mountains, rivers as the border. The several sons of Zhu Kuanli were enfeoffed, and then the empire was relocated to the land in these empires..."
Simply describe Zhang Taiyan’s idea. Xu Huafeng was stunned. He said, “What should we do now for these civil servants?”
"What else can I do? In a place like Guizhou, a county may not be able to issue a county magistrate, and it can be returned to its original home. In a place like Shaoxing, where a master or a county magistrate can only compete for employment. If you really lose your job, the Ministry of Revenue can only pay pensions to keep these people until they die. With the current number of officials, this is not a burden at all." Yang Rui said.
"What about the central government? What about the Ministry of Works?" Xu Huafeng asked.
"It's still there. But it's no longer a father or a mother-in-law. Most of the tax revenue will be intercepted in the local area. Whatever projects they like to build will be built, as long as they meet industrial standards." Yang Rui smiled. "This is actually a different way of autonomy in various provinces. Uncle Mei is devoted to ancient books, so he named it: Feudalism again."
"The matter is so big." Looking at Yang Rui's relaxed look, Xu Hua shook his head, "Once it is done, it will become a situation in which the governors of various provinces in the late Qing Dynasty were fighting against the central government. Moreover, if the gentry and local officials unite, the people will suffer again."
"It will never be the situation in the late Qing Dynasty. The governor and the central government fought with each other in the late Qing Dynasty. The governor wanted the central government to hold a parliament, but the central government wanted the governor to hold a provincial council. This was a conflict between the province and the central government. Although there were county councils below, these people could not speak at all. Except for the different levels and different regulations, the Qing Dynasty did not have industrial standards, commercial regulations, commercial banks, nor were there any systematic Dali Temples, inspectors, and judicial systems. None of these, supervision did not have any power to check and balance with them. Naturally, collusion between officials and gentry could cover the sky with one hand.
It's different now. The Scripture Academy is not composed of provincial representatives, but is composed of states and prefecture representatives. The autonomous power at this level is very small. Some states only have one or two, two or three counties. They can't cause anything and cannot withstand the central government's interference and constraints. No matter who is in power, it is difficult to do evil..."
Yang Rui had already opposed the transformation of the ban on the ban on the ban on the ban on the ban on the ban on the ban. After hearing it for a while, Xu Huafeng finally asked: "Do you think it is better to have private investment in industries spontaneously?"
"That's not what it means." Yang Rui said, "We are only responsible for strategy, and the people are responsible for tactics; we are responsible for industrial planning, and they are responsible for industrial competition. When we finish planning, we will wait for them to fill in the blanks."
"But such a big change is difficult to pass within the meeting." Xu Huafeng sighed again that the matter was too big.
"So Uncle Mei needs our support." Yang Rui said. He did not say that he would eliminate the farmers' association in the future, but said: "And who would object? Like Beiting, everyone is so fond of it and wants to do this. If anyone opposes... For example, Xuanqing opposes, then entrust Xuanqing to Shaoxing. If you think it is small, Hangzhou will be hers. What will she oppose?"
"This..." Xu Huafeng was stunned again, "How can this work? How can Hangzhou become her private property?"
Xu Huafeng said this and Yang Rui smiled immediately, saying, "I'm talking a little extreme. I mean, Xuanqing's descendants all have the responsibility to take care of Hangzhou. She is a nominal permanent local official in Hangzhou, although there is a prefectural council below. Would she not be happy? Of course, Hangzhou is not her private property. She can only comply with the laws and the regulations of the central government..."
Yang Rui said for a long time and couldn't continue, but he changed the example and said, "For example, if I was enfeoffed to Nan'an, I wouldn't bother to be the Prime Minister. Why? The Prime Minister can only receive a salary and only one month of bonus. What's going on? If Nan'an is my fiefdom, I won't be able to say anything else, just tungsten mines will be the richest man in the world. I think most people have ambitions and want to show off, but it's difficult for these people to enter the officialdom, and it's difficult for them to enter the officialdom. The administrative system is a chance for anyone."
Yang Rui's examples were more and more wrong. Xu Huafeng was no longer stunned, but felt that his brain was sick when he thought about things. He said bitterly: "It turned out, this is not a joke, this is governing the country."
Yang Rui was not really sick, he was just intoxicated by this kind of enfeoffment. He looked at Xu Huafeng with a frown and smiled and said, "Mr. Huafeng, don't worry, how to enfeoffment, only Uncle Mei knows. What I said before was just guessing and guessing." (To be continued.)
ps: Note 127: Before Hitler joined the German Workers' Party, the party was led by three people, among which Ernst Rohm came from General Von Epp's Liberty Legion, and Strathor was also a member of the Liberty Legion.
