Arms Merchant of the Republic of China

Chapter 636: Storm!

On June 28 of the 19th year of the Republic of China, Du Haisheng issued an announcement at the same time in major newspapers and radio stations of the Republic of China, stating as follows: The ordnance sold by the ordnance company was attacked about 100 kilometers north of Jinan on the way to the northeast, and all the ordnances transported were missing. In addition, more than 300 people in the Northeast Army were escorted to this incident. All of them were killed in battle. Regarding the robbery, on behalf of myself and the five ordnances, I would like to express my deep shock and indignation at the occurrence of such a bad incident, and express my deep condolences to General Zhang Xueliang, the Supreme Commander of the Northeast Army. The badness of this incident and the despicable and shameless means are simply a heinous step. Secondly, 300 people were important. They couldn't find out the truth of the matter in one day and could not avenge the soldiers. Du felt guilty day and night. The dead soul could not be comforted, and he could not close his eyes under the nine springs.

Here, on behalf of all the employees of Du's enterprise, I would like to express my deep condolences to the soldiers who died. And the people behind the shameless acts of robbers will be strongly criticized.

In addition: I hope that the Shandong Provincial Government and Supervision Office of the incident can assist the five-person ordnance and General Zhang Xueliang to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible, so that the people in all parts of the Republic of China can understand the hidden situation, and be able to publish the investigation and results of the incident to the public, severely punish the murderer who caused the incident, and give everyone a real thing. The beginning and the end.

Finally: In order to solve the whole matter as soon as possible, General Shi Yousan and General Yan Xishan in Jinan have reached a ceasefire agreement with Shandong for the time being. Otherwise, all the consequences will be at your own risk.

On the same day, Wu Peifu, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Corps, also issued a military telegram. The full text is as follows: It was learned that the ordnance was robbed in Yucheng, about 100 kilometers north of Jinan, and the escort soldiers were killed in battle. I and the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion paid close attention to this incident. In the great country of China, such a despicable and shameful thing happened. In the incident, people and gods were indignant and the world spit on them. They expressed their deep condolences to the casualties in this incident. Wang Shi Yousan, Yan Xishan and Shandong temporarily reached a ceasefire agreement until the incident was satisfactorily resolved and the truth was revealed to the world.

In addition: I hope that Mr. Zhang Zongchang, Chairman and Supervisor of the Shandong Provincial Government, will find out the matter as soon as possible.

The 28th day of the 19th year of the Republic of China

Joint statement of Wu Peifu and Du Haisheng in the Military Department

As the deputy general manager of the five-person ordnance company of Du's enterprise and the assistant to the president of Du's enterprise, Zhang Zihan and Yu Xuan are also jointly issued a document, which is very similar to Du Haisheng's statement, but the level of the two is not enough. Although the wording is strict, it does not involve the ceasefire of the crusade army and Zhang Zongchang in Shandong, let alone say anything. After all, these words are not enough. Only Du Haisheng and Wu Peifu, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Army, are more deterrent, and Zhang Zihan also mentioned one in it. If the two sides of the war cannot calmly consider Mr. Du's proposal, they will stop providing their weapons and ammunition as appropriate.

Compared with the obscure remarks of the above, Zhang Xueliang, who was the absolute victim this time, made a more sharp statement in the newspaper, directly pointing the finger at Zhang Zongchang, the chairman of the Shandong government and the military supervisor, who blamed that the incident happened in Yucheng outside Jinan, which belongs to the mountain. In the east, such a vicious incident is a shame for the military and civilians in Shandong. As the highest administrator, it is difficult to absolve the blame for this incident in the territory under its jurisdiction. It is time limit of five days. If there is no exact information and results about this incident, a military force will be sent to Shandong to investigate in person.

If it is found that the Shandong Provincial Government and the army have covered up the robbers, the possibility of resolving the incident in Shandong by force cannot be ruled out. Finally, it is hoped that the Shandong Provincial Government can properly dispose of the bodies of the dead soldiers and hand them over to the Northeast Army for resettlement. Zhang Xueliang reiterated in the statement that he did not want this incident to affect the situation of the Central Plains Congress and the relationship between Northeast and Shandong.

On the same day, Shanghai Yamei Radio, Central People's Radio, Northeast Radio, etc. paid great attention to this incident, and read the full text of the statements of Du Haisheng, Wu Peifu, Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Zihan, Yu Xuan and others, and published their own editorial comments on the incident. At the same time, "Declaration", News A large number of domestic newspapers such as the newspaper have published the statements of Du Haisheng and others.

On the second day, newspapers from Shanghai to other parts of the Republic of China were reprinted one after another, and such a bad incident occurred in the Republic of China was criticized.

Sun Chuanfang, Xue Yue, Zhou Wenshan, Kong Xuan and other senior generals of Shanghai Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion, Shanghai Youth Society, Shanghai Zuo | Yi Writers Alliance, Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Shanghai Student Union have expressed their views on this incident, and denounced Shandong for making this matter as clear as possible and giving the world an explanation. At the same time, the Communist International, through Li Kannon, also expressed the indignation and condemnation of the Central Soviet Union against the incident in the newspaper.

However, this matter still surprised and made Li Kannong happy. After all, the weapons and ammunition sold to them by the five-person ordnance were sent to the base at almost the same time, and there were no mistakes or conditions along the way. Otherwise, the current Communist International is still weak in the Republic of China, and they do not have Du Haisheng and Zhang Xueliang's energy can directly threaten the Shandong Provincial Government.

On the third day, with the unbridled spread of newspapers and radio, most people in the Republic of China already knew about the incident, and the whole Republic of China was in an uproar again.

No one expected that in Shandong, there were still people who robbed Du Haisheng's ordnance, and the target sold was Zhang Xueliang, the young commander of Northeast China. That is to say, this matter obviously offended the two bigwigs of the Republic of China.

Whether it is Du Haisheng or Wu Peifu, it is also Zhang Xueliang. In the statement issued, all of them emphasize the location of this incident. Why don't people understand the meaning of this? Obviously, they have linked this matter with Zhang Zongchang's current situation and his character. If it is in Shandong If anyone else dares to do this, this is the only general who doesn't know.

At this time, the impact of this incident has not ended, but has become more and more intense.

On the fourth day of the newspaper's article, Yan Xishan and Shi Yousan called Du Haisheng and the people of the Republic of China respectively, agreed to Du Haisheng's proposal and temporarily gave up the battle against Jinan. After the matter was resolved, they made plans. Finally, they were also full of righteous indignation about the incident. He was condemned and dissatisfied, and claimed that if it was found who did it, the two armies would seek justice for General Zhang Xueliang and Du's enterprises at all costs.

Du Haisheng just smiled at the statement of the two and did not pay attention to it. Obviously, the two announced their views and final decision on this incident in such a high-profile way to win over him and Zhang Xueliang. Now, the Central Plains Congress is in a fierce battle, and neither of the two sides are fools. At the beginning, everyone felt that If the army's balance under Zhang Xueliang's control is inclined to anyone, then the result of the battle will belong to whom, and then Du Haisheng will be added. Everyone knows that these two forces will be the absolute bargaining chips and weights to determine the war, but it is a pity that both of them chose a neutral attitude at the beginning of the battle.

Yan Xishan, Shi Yousan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and Feng Yuxiang, the five senior generals of the crusade, issued a high-profile statement on the same day. Their intentions were obvious and well known all over the world.

At the same time, other warlords in other parts of the Republic of China have also issued statements through newspapers, expressing their solidarity with the decision of Du's enterprises and the Northeast Army, and understanding and supporting the decision made by Commander Wu Peifu.

On the same day, the Shanghai working class, students from major schools, and people, a total of more than 400,000 people, held a huge parade in Shanghai, requesting the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Shandong Provincial Government to communicate. Some radicals even directly bannered to support the decision of Wu Peifu and Du Haisheng. Soldier Shandong, thoroughly investigate this matter.

Although the scale of the parade is huge, today's Shanghai is no longer what it used to be. There is no riot in the parade of more than 400,000 people. Of course, just in case, the Shadow Intelligence Department, the Second Division of the Shanghai Defense and Security Bureau, and the Third Independent Division of the First Army have strengthened the inspection of Shanghai City, and The safety protection of merchants for the shops next to the parade street.

On the same day, the three northeastern provinces also held a national parade, with a total of 1.5 million participants. Their meaning was very clear. They handed over the murderers, severely punished the murderers, and returned the fallen soldiers to the Northeast Army for proper burial.

At the same time, under the secret planning of Shadow, people of various sizes also took place in Jinan, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Qingdao, Tianjin, Xi'an and other places.

Originally, it was just a matter of Du's enterprises and the Northeast Army. Under the joint momentum of Du Haisheng and Zhang Xueliang, in just about a week, it quickly permeated the whole Republic of China, causing the impact and the unprecedented number of people demonstrating, and even intensified.

In the past few days, the government of the Republic of China in Nanjing, which is the ruler of the Republic of China, has been silent and has not expressed any opinion on the whole matter.

This had to make Du Haisheng, Zhang Xueliang, and even the people of the Republic of China feel confused and dissatisfied.
