Chapter 47 Add Nothing
"The Northeast conflict that lasted for nine days has come to an end. During the period of the conflict, the soldiers of our heroic imperial guards achieved the annihilation of the two divisions of the Japanese army. The wooden regiment was trapped in Fengtian, imprisoned the Manchurian army in Tieling, and nearly annihilated the Sichuan village army in Fushun, and conquered the city but did not enter. It can be said that the army was extremely ashamed and inferior. The soldiers did not lose their lives in Dalian. Although they implemented a cease-fire in Fengtian, Tieling, Fushun, Dalian and other places, the goal of the battle was reached, and the neutral status was guaranteed. It was said that the Russian land war was slowed down. In the nine-day conflict, our guard captured three sides of the flag of the army coalition, killing and injuring more than 100,000 enemies. The achievements of nine days were not achieved by the Russians for more than 13 months. However, today, there are people who are malicious. They threatened in the newspaper that our country is a draw in this battle, which is actually a tragic defeat. Inside, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Nearly 60,000 young people' blood was sprinkled on the battlefield. Outside, they are friends with the friends who are waiting for me. Unexpectedly, this war is clear to ensure neutrality, but in fact, it is the political axe of the empire is willing to be the running dogs of Europe and the United States, but there is no Although the purpose of our military campaign has been achieved, China's international status in the war has been significantly improved. All countries have said that today's China is by no means comparable to yesterday's Qing Dynasty. Looking at his words, he is really shameless. Looking at his deeds, he is extremely shameful. What's the use of such shameless people staying in the world? If they don't investigate their sins, where is the law of the empire? Where is justice in the world! The name of the soldiers in the battlefield is humiliated by them. How can the loyal soul enjoy the Lingyan Pavilion in peace!"
A newspaper, an article only stirred up a gust of wind and clouds in Chinese politics, all because of 22 days. At the beginning of the negotiations, the two sides agreed to implement a ceasefire in the battlefield in Fengtian, Tieling, Fushun, Dalian and other places. The next day, the People's Daily used "sprinkling blood on the battlefield and help the country as a soldier of the great powers", and even faked comics. In the cartoon, the emperor bowed his head and bowed to flatter another emperor, and under his feet, there was a pile of white bones.
This article and report attracted the attention of others and caused a controversy in China. When the Shanghai Police Department requested to seal up the newspaper, it was rejected it. On the afternoon of the same day, police stations in various places sent police to seal up the distribution points of the People's Daily in Nanjing, Wuchang, Guangzhou and other places, while the People's Daily was a republican faction. The most important position of public opinion.
The next day, the report of "Severe Punishment of National Thieves" published on the front page of many newspapers at the same time directly pushed the incident to the top. When a tabloid questioned whether the police's seizure of the newspaper was in line with the spirit of "freedom of speech", the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately responded that "according to the wartime regulations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the right to seal up any distribution. Newspapers that are contrary to national security," and then there were many slanders in the report of Lin Shumin Daily.
This time, unexpectedly, the emperor himself kept a low profile, that is, he did not express his opinion or ask about the matter. Even when the advisory members of the consultative house submitted the report, he only approved "I know!" Three words, without saying things like "believe in justice" in the past, but this kind of non-statement has shaken the speculators who joined the republican faction. In just one day, hundreds of people have announced their withdrawal from the republican faction with "the people's newspaper's shameless remarks against the will of the people" and turned to show their goodwill to the royalists. No one can deny that the vast majority of politicians are just grass on the wall.
While talking about what kind of thunderous anger His Majesty will use to "clean up" the People's Daily and the Republican Party, in the spacious Office of His Majesty on the second floor of the Palace Government Building, Chen Moran, who was serious, was listening to Cha Zhiqing's report.
"...In a word, in order to ensure the stability of the political situation of the empire, your majesty must give an iron fist to the republican faction. The republican faction can now abandon national affairs with political opinions. He said that when the fate of the country is decided, he can abandon the country and turn to the enemy!"
Standing in front of His Majesty, Zha Zhiqing made a summary of his report.
As the director of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Investigation is responsible for domestic security matters and the handling of inter-provincial cases. Although the Bureau of Investigation has been established for less than a year, the current Bureau of Investigation is far from an institution with only more than 100 staff at the beginning of last year, but a branch distributed in all provinces of the country, with nearly two A huge security agency of thousands of agents.
As the director, Cha Zhiqing, the best reconnaissance experts hired from France and the United Kingdom have established mobile police forces in each province, equipped with cars and the same standard equipment as the army, and using the latest technology, including telephones, telegrams, fingerprint records and portraits of suspects. The current investigation bureau, in the view of Cha Zhiqing, The newspaper work is not even inferior to the intelligence agency held by his former "boss".
"Your Majesty, if necessary, the Bureau of Investigation can cooperate with the army to arrest all suspicious elements in one day. At the same time, Your Majesty, the imperial regime has now become stable. Even among the arrested, officials involved in the political axe will not affect the operation of the work of the political axe!"
When Zha Zhiqing said this, he was full of confidence. As early as the establishment of the Investigation Bureau, he established a "radical" registration card based on his work experience in the library of Huangpu Military Academy.
In the first half of the establishment of the Bureau of Investigation, the most important task of the Bureau of Investigation was to collect and establish a database, thus establishing the first set of cards in Chinese history to register people with different ideas and advocates for the establishment of a republican regime in China and the implementation of the policy of Mingzhu and racial concession in China. In the film, several rooms at the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau are filled with hundreds of thousands of cards from hundreds of filing cabinets.
And the people registered there are regarded by Cha Zhiqing as enemies of the foundation of the Chinese empire. In his opinion, this is exactly what His Majesty needs him to do, otherwise His Majesty will not transfer him from the Intelligence Bureau and build another Bureau of Investigation, and the truth he has always held is that "strate is the crime of the strategy of the country itself, the strongest. Fortresses are often conquered from the inside.
Now, in his opinion, the time to "clear the internal enemies" is ripe. If it is delayed any longer, those internal enemies may even develop into absths on the empire, which will eventually hit the country hard.
"Zhiqing!"
Chen Moran did not call Zha Zhiqing's words, but called his name intimately.
"How many people need to be arrested?"
"Your Majesty, according to current statistics, 3,864 people need to be arrested, of which 183 are abroad."
His number shocked Chen Moran.
"Nearly 4,000 people?"
"Your Majesty, there are republicanists and constitutionalists involved. Most of these people are dissatisfied with the empire. For example, with the help of foreign enemies's funds and other aspects, it is likely to develop into another Umiyanov, resulting in turmoil and instability within the empire. At the same time, according to what we currently know According to the intelligence, I have been in frequent contact with the republican faction and the constitutional faction recently.
Zha Zhiqing noticed that when he mentioned this matter, His Majesty frowned.
"On the 21st, Hai seized 481 smuggled pistols in Zhuhai. Although it is not ruled out that it may be private smuggling, the Intelligence Station of the Investigation Bureau in Macao issued a newspaper saying that Major Yoshi of the Consulate in Macao has recently sent people to contact with the Republic of Guangdong..."
Silence. After hearing this report, Chen Moran remained silent for several minutes. He knew what he was going to do, just like what he did in Russia. A Mingshi colonel was more destructive than the five army groups of the army. If he sent a Mingshi colonel to China, and then hit The country appeared again... "Zhiqing, you have to remember that there are only two kinds of people who oppose me. One is people who don't understand what I think. I don't blame him for this kind of person. History will prove everything."
Chen Muran often said that everything he did was for this country. Although there was a little selfishness in the imperial system, could it be said that the imperial system could not be a strong country? In addition, I gave them time to establish a constitution for ten years, saying that it took me decades to establish a constitution. Can China move from feudalism to constitutionalism or republicanism?
"Some people say what to say about constitutional salvation and republican salvation of the country, but in the end? But many countries in the world have long proved that at least one thing is that, at least before the country is not stable, external troubles are not calmed, and internal worries are eliminated, China's constitutional or republicanism will only add more chaos. Now for China, the most important thing is the unity of the whole country. Only by nationalism and publicism can the country be quickly realized. The wealth and strength of the family. But those people don't understand. I don't blame them. In the end, history will speak with facts! When the water arrives and the canal is not ready, what is released by opening the gate when the water is not ready? It's the demon of troubled times!"
When he said this, Chen Moran's expression seemed a little painful. It was difficult for him to understand. Obviously, everyone did not know what the constitution was, what the republic was, and why did he make a fuss? For power or ambition? Or a dream that the people can't understand at all.
"The other is people with ulterior motives. This kind of talent is our confidant. I know, Zhiqing, you can understand all this, otherwise, you will not make this report. With students like you, I am very gratified. If every Huangpu student is like you, then this country is not I'm worried. Our country is too far behind the world. Now is the time for us to catch up. Some people understand me, while others don't..."
"Your Majesty, the vast majority of the people support you, and the ministers also support your Majesty!"
Seeing the sadness on His Majesty's face, Zha Zhiqing quickly said a word of relief. But there is another thought in his heart. He has always believed in a truth: "Those who are not friends are against us; those who oppose us are enemies; the enemy will be destroyed!" Therefore, to a certain extent, he does not agree with His Majesty's "differential treatment".
"Well, whether they support it or understand it, in a word, we should do the right thing, something that benefits the country and the people. I remember I once told you that if you want to do a good job in your life, it's very simple, just two words, conscientious, and the most difficult thing is also because of due diligence! Recently,
Chen Moran looked up at Cha Zhiqing.
"The Imperial Consultative Council will pass the espionage law and incitement to riot law!"
With a simple sentence, Cha Zhiqing understood His Majesty's choice. He put away the documents and gently bowed to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I'm leaving!"
After Cha Zhiqing left the office, Chen Moran leaned against the back of the chair, and then sighed heavily. In the past, people often said that the buttocks determine the head, and they often laughed, but now? Although I don't want to see something happen, sometimes... "I'm for this country!"
Suddenly, Chen Moran's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were full of absoluteness. They must be prevented from burning. If they want to do that, don't blame themselves. They have given them a chance.
A spring thunder suddenly exploded outside the window, and the thunderous window squeaked, but Chen Moran, who was sitting in the chair, opened his eyes wide and looked at the spacious office and the world map that occupied the whole wall on the wall. He walked to the map and stared at the map.
Who can understand their own painstakings? No one can understand their painstaking work, that is, they are against themselves, so knock them down!
In the end, history will prove that you are right! Perhaps decades later, the whole country will be grateful for its own choice now, but this choice is so helpless. If possible, it would rather face countless external enemies than an internal enemy.
"The mouse is carrying a gun in his nest, an insider in civil war, and a layman in foreign war!"
Helplessly sigh, those people! Can't we wait? Is it a struggle of doctrine or ambition?
After a long silence, Chen Moran went to the spacious desk and picked up the phone.
"Please ask Director Zhang of the General Administration of Intelligence to come immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Moran sighed helplessly. Sometimes he had to make two preparations.
"Your Majesty!"
When he came to His Majesty's office, he looked at His Majesty standing in front of the map. Zhang Jing shouted softly. He did not know why His Majesty invited him to the palace at this time.
"The Imperial Consultative Council will recently consider the passage of the Espionage Law and the Incitement of Riot Law!"
Listening to the voice behind him, Chen Moran just said a word faintly. His voice was not loud, but Zhang Jing was stunned. The two bills were drafted by the Imperial Intelligence Agency. Once the two bills were approved, the power of the Imperial Investigation Bureau would be expanded indefinitely. This was once his dream, but in the end it was Making wedding clothes for others, now the internal security work of the General Intelligence Agency has long been taken over by the Investigation Bureau.
"If necessary, Your Majesty, according to the analysis conducted by the Intelligence Agency in the past, only Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang Province are most suitable to establish political prisons, which are far away from..."
"This is not what I want!"
Turning around, Chen Moran waved his hand casually. He had made a decision in his heart, and it would not change if he did it. A secret prison may be needed, but this is not something I need to consider now.
"Once the two bills are passed, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation will become the "Sword and Shield of the Empire". The Bureau of Investigation will become the most powerful department to actively support, implement imperial decisions, and sweep away enemies within the empire, integrating secret police, intelligence agencies and detective organizations, and even criminal prosecution and other functions. In the next ten years, the power of the Imperial Investigation Bureau in China will reach the point of... no more!"
When he said this, Chen Moran felt that his back was a little cold. What kind of institution would lead to the infinite power he knew better than anyone else? Sometimes in order to stop one demon, he had to release another demon.
"So, I need an institution as a constrainer of this institution!"
Looking up at Zhang Jing, Chen Moran's eyes were cold, and his thin lips were gently.
"I have decided to hand over this responsibility to the Intelligence Bureau. I hope you will live up to my trust!"
"Your Majesty..."
"You just need to remember four words and do your duty! If you can't do it, I want your head! All right, go down and get ready. I hope to hear your good news!"
After saying that, Chen Moran waved his hand to signal Zhang Jing to leave his office.
Is it right or wrong to do this?
Although Zha Zhiqing is his own student, it is still difficult to rest assured of Chen Moran to give him such a great power. He knows that there are opportunists, bright cooks, nationalists, republicans and pragmatists around him, while there are very few idealists. Sometimes Idealists are more suitable for this kind of thing, but who is Zha Zhiqing?
are nationalists and pragmatists. Loyalty has a price. In the face of unprecedented power, anyone can get lost. It's better to plan early than to have an accident.
"Those who are not friends are against us. Those who oppose us are enemies, and the enemy will be eliminated!"
This is Cha Zhiqing's belief. Although it will make people feel a deep chill when they hear this sentence, compared with Zhang Jing, Cha Zhiqing is undoubtedly more appropriate to undertake domestic security work. In the past few months, the Bureau has corrected many spies from other countries, but now the Bureau will be responsible for the future of national security. Take on an unprecedented responsibility.
"Study the safety law carefully!"
Zhang Jing, who was sitting in the car, closed his eyes, and a young man in the co-pilot's seat ordered.
"A word-for-word research, the power that can be taken from the Bureau of Investigation must be taken away. Although these two bills are beneficial to the Bureau of Investigation, we need to turn the disadvantages into advantages, understand?"
"Yes, Director!"
The young man in the co-pilot's seat, wearing gold glasses and combing neat hair, answered softly.
"Did your majesty make up your mind?"
"Someone is forcing people too much! Your Majesty has hesitated for too long!"
Zhang Jing answered coldly. His Majesty is sometimes too soft-hearted. At least in dealing with the enemy, he has always believed that he should completely defeat the enemy with thunderous momentum, not only to defeat him, but also to destroy his reputation and will.
"Sir, the Technical Section recently passed a study. If the Bureau of Investigation wants to do something to those people, I think we should cooperate with the Bureau of Investigation on this technology. We can provide prisons and technology, and they only need to provide personnel. I think it is feasible. That technology..."
Zhang Jing, who closed his eyes, interrupted him.
"Well, you decide this. You have to cooperate with the Bureau of Investigation, supervise, and... You understand that the Bureau of Investigation can be friends, but if they... then they are also enemies, understand?"
