Chapter 79 The last straw is gone
The tiger fight incident had a dramatic reversal. The Shanghai Police Bureau announced that all the materials in the warehouse of the Yangtze Company have been filed with the Social Bureau, which is legally hoarded and unblocked, and the items are returned to the original owner.
This news was broadcasted through radio, and even Chiang Ching-kuo did not expect it. All the staff in the supervisor's office were stunned and looked at Chiang Ching-kuo blankly, looking forward to his thunder and furiousness, and looking forward to his decisive behavior.
But Chiang Ching-kuo didn't say a word, slowly walked into the office and closed the door.
"How could this happen?" The staff were surprised and angry. They fought hard in front of them to seize and hoard the stockpile and attack the powerful, but they were stabbed in the back of the waist, and it felt really bad to betrayed.
Suddenly, Chen Bei rushed in. He didn't know what happened yet, so he walked into Chiang Ching-kuo's office and asked him: "You can arrest Kong Lingkan."
Jiang Jingguo stood in front of the window, the room was filled with smoke, and there were a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray.
"Chen Bei, this matter has come to an end in advance, you can go back and rest." Jiang Jingguo's voice was a little hoarse.
Chen Bei was very puzzled: "What's going on? Did I do something wrong?"
Chiang Ching-kuodao: "You did nothing wrong, the special service brigade has been disbanded."
Chen Bei's tone increased by octave: "Why, why are you doing it so hard, why are you giving up halfway? Don't you have to rectify the economic order? Don't you have to crack down on profiteers? Do you have to give up all hard-earned results?"
Except for Chiang Kai-shek, no one dared to scold Chiang Ching-kuo like this. He suddenly turned around and stared at Chen Bei: "You don't understand, this is the overall situation."
Chen Bei was furious: "What is the overall situation? Kong Lingkan is the overall situation. The national economy and people's livelihood are not the overall situation. What is this a bullshit? A problem that can be solved with a bullet. You delay and hesitate, and the great opportunity slips away in vain. Mr. Jiang, you have let down our new job."
After saying that, he slammed the door and left, Chen Nan stepped forward and grabbed his elder brother: "Brother, Mr. Jiang is in trouble. The supreme authority excused the Yangzi Company. What should you do if you ask him to do?"
Chen Bei woke up and said that he was also the son of an official family. He understood the truth. Chiang Ching-kuo was not a powerful local prince. All his power came from the gift of his father Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was like an emperor. He could make him the crown prince in one word, and he could be abolished in one word. Without his father's support, Chiang Ching-kuo could not do anything.
Chen Bei was a responsible man. He immediately turned around and apologized to Chiang Ching-kuo: "Mr. Jiang, I am so excited that I don't understand your difficulties."
Chiang Ching-kuodao: "I don't blame you, it's my general who is incompetent and exhausted the three armies. The Shanghai tiger fighter turned into a farce. The profitable businessmen were free from justice. The efforts of the comrades became a bubble. I'm sorry to everyone."
As he said that, tears burst out from his eyes.
Dozens of young staff in the office cried, and their depressed and grief-torn cry resounded throughout the Central Building.
...
Shanghai's action to rectify the financial economy finally ended in failure. The board was raised high and put down gently. The industrial and commercial giants were not punished as they deserved and were released on bail. Du Yuesheng's son was also sentenced to several months in prison and was given a medical parole, which was as if nothing had happened.
The public opinion community took it indifferently. The "Public Night News" and "Public Night News" that had previously reported the most active action in fighting tigers were ordered to suspend publication and rectification, and they could not make any noise.
The government's credibility collapsed, and no one believed that the newly issued gold coupons quickly depreciated and became waste paper. The rush to buy in the market reappeared, and there were long queues outside the rice shop all night. As soon as the working class received their wages, they quickly went to the black market to exchange them for silver dollars, gold bars or US dollars.
The Greater Shanghai Youth Service Corps retained its establishment system, but it has actually been dissolved. Chiang Ching-kuo finished his position as an economic supervisor in Shanghai and delivered a farewell speech to everyone. He choked up several times, and the young people were also inexplicably sad and angry.
"The last straw is gone, this government is over." Chen Bei said to his younger brothers.
The government changed its orders every day, and allowed people to hold gold and foreign currencies to exchange them at various banks. As soon as the news came out, the market caused a sensation. People lined up with gold coupons. There were long queues in front of the doors of the banks on the Bund. Because they were afraid of being stuffed, people lined up very tightly and wanted to hug the person in front of them. They started exchanges the next morning and started queueing the afternoon of the previous day.
Chen Nan exchanged the gold gold given by his aunt for a stack of gold round coupons. He regretted it so much that he joined the queue and squeezed into the crowd. He could not go to the toilet. He would eat a bite of dry food when he was hungry. When he was thirsty, he had his own water bottle. He waited overnight. At 9:30 in the morning the next day, the bank finally opened.
The exhausted citizens were in agitation and rushed forward. I didn't know what was going on ahead. Suddenly the team became chaotic and completely out of control. Some weak people were trampled down below, crying and calling their parents, rushing in front with strong bodies, shaking the bank railing desperately, and roaring.
Chen Nan was in a daze and rushed forward with the people. He ran to the bank gate to find out that someone had just announced that the gold, silver and foreign currencies had been exchanged, which aroused public anger.
The sirens sounded, and the military and police arrived at the scene. The cavalry waved the baton and beat the citizens hard. The high-pressure water cannon beat the crowd into pieces, mixed with sporadic gunshots, and the scene was very chaotic.
Chen Nan hurriedly fled home, his body was soaked, he changed his clothes and came out. The radio in the living room was playing a notice saying that the gold reserves and foreign exchange of major banks had been exchanged. Citizens were asked to restrain their emotions and not be sowed by people with ulterior motives.
Yao Yilei walked over and turned off the radio, saying, "It's not hurt. I would have known that I wouldn't let you repay it. If I had lost the money, I would have lost it. Our family could still afford it, but those honest and honest families would have lost their savings for half of their lives."
Chen Nandao: "Why did the government go back on its word?"
Yao Yilei said: "What is the difference between gold coupons and waste paper? Why should I exchange US dollars?"
Chen Nandao: "But what the government stipulates can be exchanged."
Yao Yilei said: "The government is not for the poor. Those policies are prepared for the Kong family and Song family. There are gold and US dollars, and they have been exchanged. However, they are all internal channels, and ordinary people don't know at all."
Chen Nandao: "I understand, I lost the bet."
Yao Yilei said: "Don't be sad, these are all instructed by your father. They are indispensable for setbacks and depression on the road to growth."
...
The war in the north continued. Jinan, Shandong was captured by the Communist army, and 60,000 troops from the provincial chairman Wang Yaowu were captured. At the same time, the Northeast Field Army under the command of ** occupied Jinzhou with 600,000 troops, and a group of millions of troops in the northeast were fighting in a regiment. Within two months, the Northeast Suppression General was destroyed. The elite Liao Yaoxiang Corps was destroyed in the field, and the total loss of ** was 400,000, and the Northeast fell.
The war in the Central Plains became increasingly tense. Chen Yi's Huaye and Liu Deng's Zhongye gathered 600,000 troops to advance towards Xuzhou. The Xuzhou Suppression Federation had 550,000 troops. They took a defensive stance and a big battle was about to come.
In Jiangdong Province, Fenglin Road official residence, Chen Zikun presided over the military meeting. In fact, he had already retreated behind the scenes and no longer held military and political positions, but he still had the overall situation in Jiangdong.
The previous move to adapt the elite troops under his command into traffic police was extremely wise. He could justify the central government's order and not participate in the Xu-Beng Campaign. However, his lips were lost and his teeth were cold. Xuzhou was defeated, and Jiangdong would face pressure directly from the People's Liberation Army.
The atmosphere of the meeting was very dull, everyone was smoking and frowning. Everyone knew in their hearts that the situation was hopeless and that the defeat could be reversed unless a miracle like the United States sends troops directly.
Lieutenant General Chen Qilin, director of the Jiangdong Pacification Office, said slowly: "The Battle of Xu-Beng is extremely important. If the Central Plains are not protected, the party and the country can only rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to defend half of the country."
Chen Zikun said: "Since ancient times, the Southern Dynasty has not been able to defend it, and it is unlikely that the river will be cut and governed. If the Communist army really wants to cross the river, who can stop him?"
Yan Su said: "At present, there is only one word "he."
Chen Shou immediately opposed: "It would be fine if it was a normal dynasty change, but ** is different. I don't think it's reliable to refine the lives of rich people. I'd better think about a way out as soon as possible, either in the United States or Hong Kong."
The meeting could not continue, so Chen Zikun had to announce the end of the meeting.
Chen Qilin stayed and said goodbye to Chen Zikun: "The old man asked me to lead troops north to reinforce. If I don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. Some things need to be explained. I don't have much savings and can't go to Hong Kong and the United States. My wife is willing to remarry and don't stop her. My ashes want to be sent back to Peking for burial, and my sister's family, I don't know how they are doing..."
Chen Zikun said: "Don't worry, auspicious people will have their own appearance."
But he couldn't guess that this farewell and goodbye had been decades later.
...
On the vast land of Huaihai, countless troops and supporters were marching. The Jiangbei ** Corps, which belongs to the Central Plains Field Army, was ordered to participate in the Huaihai Battle. The jeep that commander Wu Changqing and political commissar Ye Xuefeng were riding was trapped in mud. The stretcher team next to him stepped forward to help, and everyone worked together to pull the jeep out of the mud.
Ye Xuefeng found that it was Ma Chunhua who led the stretcher team. When asked about her recent situation with concern, Ma Chunhua proudly said that she has transferred to the local area and has served as district mayor.
"Well done, the annihilation of Huang Botao's corps depends entirely on the wheelbarrows in the base." Ye Xuefeng praised.
"Goodbye, Chief." Ma Chunhua saluted, sorted out her armed belt and pistol, and led the stretcher team heroically to continue setting off.
The roadside propaganda team members sang in the fast class: "Good news, good news, annihilated Huang Botao..."
Ye Xuefeng was about to get on the car when suddenly a horse galloped over. He came to the near-front knight and stopped, turned over and got off the horse and saluted and reported: "Political Commissar Ye, the order from the General Front Committee Political Commissar Deng."
Ye Xuefeng answered the letter and read it slightly.
Wu Changqing asked, "Xuefeng, what instructions does Comrade Xiaoping have?"
The autumn rain was drizzling, and a red sun jumped out on the horizon. Ye Xuefeng said with confidence: "Lao Wu, I can't fight side by side with you anymore. I'm going to Jiangdong to meet my old friend Chen Zikun."
