Chapter 1106
"Commander Pei, how's the situation?" Unknowingly, the carriage had arrived outside the government building, and Pei Shanxi, dressed in military uniform, walked up quickly.
"The chairman also came, and asked me why the air crew appeared in the base. I guess he was angry with Secretary-General Lan at this time. Do you know the situation of Captain Hong? Is it really hopeless?"
"Minister Lin went to the scene in person, and I haven't heard from her yet. I don't feel very good. Since someone has made up his mind to attack him, he won't be lenient.
Alas...sorry, good people don't live long these days.If he had been more ruthless back then and killed all those bastards, he wouldn't have become what he is now.Is Gao Tianyi here? "
Hearing this question again, Jiao Qiao's face became even more ugly, and his heart was extremely complicated. At one moment, he felt that death was a good thing, and at another moment, he felt a little bit reluctant.Especially when I think of the early days of the rescue team, the survivors got along like family members day and night, watching and helping each other, and my nose felt a little sore.
"No... would you suspect that he did it?" Pei Shanxi shook his head, but immediately realized something, and his thin lips were tightly pressed together.
"Lin Na told me that the last time the weapons smuggling case in the new security zone was behind the shadow of the council's monitoring team. It's a pity that they acted too quickly and dealt with all the insiders. No hard evidence could be found. It’s good to investigate in depth.”
Jiao Qiao did not deny that when he heard that Hong Tao was assassinated, the first suspect that popped into his mind was Gao Tianyi.There is no evidence, just a feeling, anyway, I believe it.
"Then are we really going to get rid of him this time?" Pei Shanxi seemed to agree with this candidate, without raising any objection reasons, and began to feel a little eager to try.
As long as Jiao Qiao dares to order, she dares to arrest Gao Tianyi and take him back to the airport for secret interrogation. It is normal to accidentally kill him.In the end, he would be the one to take the blame and lose his position as regiment leader, or even be deprived of his official resident status, and become a refugee in the safe zone.
"...Let's take a look and talk about it when Minister Lin comes back. She thinks more carefully than the two of us." It's a pity that Jiao Qiao is really not that bold. Without Lin Na, he can only maintain the status quo step by step and can't come up with any ideas.
"Salute..." There were also four air crew soldiers standing at the door of the conference room of the government building, led by a battalion commander.It seems that Pei Shanxi has already prepared for the worst. Once something unexpected happens, the battalion commander can act decisively, unlike ordinary soldiers who only know how to execute orders.
"What's going on inside?" Jiao Qiao waved his hand casually, but didn't open the door to go in right away.
"The heads of all departments have basically arrived, and the chairman of the board of directors has also brought a few directors. The quarrel is quite fierce. I'm afraid you are going to be the protagonist today!" The battalion commander is quite old, at least forty or so Years old, the hair on the sideburns is already a little gray.However, his personality is relatively lively, and he dares to tease his immediate boss at such a time.
"Don't be afraid, your sister-in-law is much better than them. She even chokes her when she scolds anxiously. Let me see who dares to fight me! Don't just stand there stupidly. Be careful, and all idlers are not allowed to come close. Including the coachman and the secretary. I don't want to get shot here... what the hell is this!"
Jiao Qiao has long been accustomed to quarrels at government work meetings. Sometimes reformists and royalists will jointly turn their finger on the Ministry of Armed Forces or the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to gain the initiative in a certain matter.Randy usually does not offend both sides, relying on himself and his wife to see each other.
"Click..." The door lock rang, and Jiao Qiao strode in.There are more than 20 people sitting in the conference room, and one of them is the head of each department.But unlike the previous government work conferences, the chairman of the board, Chu Qiu, was sitting opposite Randy.
"Mr. Jiao, I'll be waiting for you... How's the situation outside?" Seeing Jiao Qiao coming in, Randy, who was propping his forehead with his palm and looking hopeless, came to life immediately, and greeted him warmly, without waiting. He sat down and asked questions.
During these half an hour, he was already a little bit alone. Various departments including the chairman of the board were asking questions, ranging from what happened to why the military control was imposed on the base.But there are very few that I know and can answer.
"The situation is not very good. According to the report from the sentry on the Third Ring Road, there are about 1 refugees gathered near the Warwick Bridge to Minsi Bridge, and the number is still increasing. They have entered the buffer zone, but they have not continued north. No violence occurred.
The refugee team basically did not carry any weapons, but only shouted the slogan of thoroughly investigating the case and severely punishing the murderer.Vice Minister Zhang will listen to the report from the front every 10 minutes in the ministry, and will notify me immediately if there is any change.
The situation in the self-administered area is more serious. Almost all immigrants from Xinjiang Province have been dispatched, and there are also many local immigrants participating. The number of people is no less than [-].According to the report of the quick reaction force, they have already broken through the eastern border and moved towards the fifth southern district, probably to join the refugees in the safe zone. "
Jiao Qiao walked to his seat and sat down, took out a stack of papers from his briefcase, flipped through them one by one, talked while reading, and roughly introduced the current situation of refugee assemblies in the safe zone and the self-administered zone.
"Huh...that's good, that's good, how's the situation of the garrison?" Hearing that the refugees have no signs of attacking the base for the time being, Randy, who has been hanging in his throat, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Minister Jiao, why did the air crew appear in the base and took over the security work of the government department, who gave the order?" But Chu Qiu on the other side of the conference table still had a serious expression, and he wanted to worry before Randy finished asking. Qiao issued a stern question.
"I gave the order!" Jiao Qiao replied more calmly.
"Minister Jiao, according to the rules of the alliance, any army above the platoon size needs to be signed by the chairman, the secretary-general, and the minister of armed forces to enter the base. I haven't received any application in this regard so far. Secretary-General Lan, you take it." Reached?"
Chu Qiu sat up slightly, ready to launch a serious attack.If Jiao Qiao can't explain this issue clearly, according to the rules of the alliance, the council can initiate a proposal to remove him from the position of the Minister of Armed Forces and hand it over to a military court.
For so many years, Lin Na and Jiao Qiao have always acted cautiously, so that no one can catch a big deal.If one of them can be dismissed through this incident, it will play a decisive role in the future development of the reformists.
"Mr. Jiao, I don't seem to have received any relevant applications here..." Of course Randy knew about this rule, but he couldn't help at this moment. He could only hope that Jiao Qiao had a good reason.
"I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to apply." Jiao Qiao replied calmly, as if it was his first day as the Minister of Armed Forces and he didn't know much about the rules of the alliance.
"..." In the chaotic conference room, his words were cleared up. Dozens of people were all looking at this side in a daze, as if they were looking at a monster.What kind of explanation is this, and it is not a war. Frontline generals can have limited authorization to exercise part of their autonomy without the consent of their superiors.
"Minister Jiao, can I understand that it is your own decision to transfer the air crew to the base, and it has nothing to do with any other department?" Even though Chu Qiu had a sullen face, there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
So lucky, God really threw the pie down, and let myself catch it.As long as Jiao Qiao dares to say a word, the position of Minister of Armed Forces will basically be lost. If he dares to say that it was Lin Na's idea, then the Minister of Internal Affairs may also have to be replaced!
At this moment, she suddenly thought of an allusion, Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He loses!Because of the existing system, no one can remove the ministers of the armed forces and the interior without significant fault.
Even through the election, in order to win more votes, the successive secretary-generals and directors have to reach a tacit agreement with the heads of these two most important departments, or to exchange interests and achieve mutual success.
This has led to Jiao Qiao and Lin Na, no matter who is the secretary-general or the chairman of the board, they can sit firmly at the top of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Now this problem that has troubled me for many years has been perfectly solved by the system and rules. I really don't know whether to praise or curse.
Chapter 1107
"Whether it's my decision or not is not important, it's more important whether everyone here wants to continue to live!" Jiao Qiao changed his posture, turned sideways to Chu Qiu's direction, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Back then, Hong Tao said that Chu Qiu was not suitable for holding too important a position.The reason is also mentioned, the personality is not suitable, and the IQ is not enough.The old bastard is really accurate in judging people. Even after so many years of actual training in the position of chairman, there are still a lot of good people around him who can learn from him, but he still hasn't made much progress, and he still thinks in a single-threaded way.
"..." As soon as these words came out, there was another silence in the conference room that had just resumed the state of whispering.what does it mean?What does it mean whether we want to live or not.Could it be that this veteran figure who holds military power is going to stage a military coup d'etat!
"Minister Jiao, please pay attention to your wording. This is a government meeting, not drinking and chatting." But Randy wasn't very scared. He knew Jiao Qiao, or Lin Na.The couple will not take the risk, because the benefits are small and the risks are high, which is not in their own interests.
If you really want to sit on the throne of the top leader of the alliance, you don't have to wait until now. You can do it anytime, anywhere. The sooner you launch it, the higher the success rate. It will not be so easy if you delay it until now.
In the system of the alliance army, the Armed Forces Department is only the management department, and the staff department is the command department.Even if Pan Wenxiang, chief of staff, is also in the same boat, it is still not reliable.The commanders of the brigades and regiments are relatively independent, and the factions in the army are more complicated.
Normal promotion and transfer must be controlled by the Ministry of Armed Forces, but when life and death are at stake, the treasure may not be bet on Jiao Qiao.Uniting military officers is about as difficult as persuading the heads of various government departments to abandon factional struggles. It is basically an impossible task.
"According to the report of the garrison who arrived at the scene, Captain Hong was shot in the head and chest. The murderer used steel-core armor-piercing bullets and sniper rifles, and the shooting distance exceeded 300 meters.
Everyone has participated in military training and should understand the power of this weapon. If effective measures are not taken, everyone here may become the next target.I can't guarantee the safety of the ministers unless the base is sealed off. There may be sniper rifles aiming at the gate of the courtyard.
Now most of the forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been sent to the safe zone and self-administered zone to maintain order, and the security forces in the base are very weak.If a gunman really shot one or several of you to death, who should bear the responsibility?
Chairman, Secretary-General, you can give me a clear answer, you don’t need to be responsible for this matter, then the air crew can withdraw immediately, and I personally resign immediately and accept the investigation by the military court. "
Don't think that Jiao Qiao is not an eloquent person, but that's only relatively speaking. For people like Shang Hong Tao, Zhou Yuan, and Lin Na who are quick-thinking and eloquent, they are indeed stupid.But he has also been in the society for decades and has seen countless big scenes. He still doesn't worry about dealing with this kind of intense confrontation.
And he wasn't playing by the rules, he was playing assholes.Who of you dare to say that you are not afraid of death, then go out and try to see if there are any black guns.Even if there is nothing, it can become something.
The air crew is his direct descendant, as long as he gives the order to basically let anyone hit, he can't catch the current situation, and it doesn't matter if he is an assassin.investigation?Alright, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigate and see if Lin Na will kill her relatives and send her husband to a military court.
"Minister Jiao, don't be alarmist, why did the murderer take the risk to sneak into the base to assassinate!" Not to mention, some people really don't intend to believe in evil, and Wu Jianzhang took the lead in objecting to this statement.
"Oh, Minister Wu seems to know the murderer very well? Captain Hong is currently a judge in the self-administered district, and he is supported and loved by the immigrants in the self-administered district. Didn't the murderer take the same risk to assassinate? Since they have already assassinated the alliance officials, why can't they do it again?" ?
Please understand that this is the first time that a senior official has been assassinated since the establishment of the alliance.As long as this kind of thing happens for the first time, there will inevitably be a second and third time.
Again, we don't know where the murderer comes from now, whether it is our own people or sent by other organizations, or refugees.Under such circumstances, who can guarantee that the outside is safe now, and there is no need to strengthen security forces? "
Facing Wu Jianzhang's question, Jiao Qiao gave an answer without even thinking about it. The key point is still two words, safety.It is indeed necessary to seal off the base when nothing is clear and unknown.
"...It shouldn't be the first time. If I remember correctly, Vice Minister Zhang Fengwu was also assassinated!" Wu Jianzhang's face turned purple, and he didn't dare to say the words "I'm not afraid."But he still didn't want Jiao Qiao to slip away so easily, and suddenly remembered a past event not long ago, just to use it to solve the current embarrassment.
"Ha, that's really weird. Minister Wu seems to be very forgetful today. If I remember correctly, you are firmly opposed to the issue of whether there should be a public trial. If there is no trial, who can believe that Captain Hong killed Zhang Fengwu?
Now that I have mentioned this issue, I will say a few more words, why did Zhang Fengwu die, don't you have any idea?Why do you object to a public trial? Are you still clueless?If it were me, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter at all, it would be nice to just pass by quietly.
When Minister Lin comes back, I have to suggest to her that we should strictly examine whether you are suspected of assassination.After all, Captain Hong is a great threat to you and some people even if he is alive. He has every motive to take risks, which is also in line with the source of firearms. It is much more difficult for refugees to obtain such guns than you! "
At this time, Jiao Qiao was afraid that no one would pay attention to him, so that the water would not be muddied.As soon as he heard Zhang Fengwu's name, he simply stood up, pointed at Wu Jianzhang's nose and sent out soul torture.
A series of tricks such as pointing and cursing, beating around the bush, insinuating, spitting blood, knocking mountains and shaking tigers, etc. are all used, coupled with facial expressions and body movements, it is extremely provocative.
"My surname Jiao, please speak clearly. Why do I have to know! Don't make yourself so innocent, what you two are doing behind the scenes is not much better!"
Wu Jianzhang couldn't bear to be poked face to face.Officials pay attention to being a human being and keeping a front line, and when they are less than 100% sure to kill, they will not easily puncture the window paper, even if they know it well, they have to pretend to be confused.
Well now, not only have I become a corrupt official who is afraid of a public trial, but I am also suspected of being assassinated and silenced.If this big hat is held for real, it may really become an excuse for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate, and then it will be dead.
"Okay, let's choose who should be the defendant and who should be the plaintiff first, and we will have a public trial together to make it clear that whoever dares is my grandson!" As long as he enters the stage of cursing, Jiao Qiao will not be afraid of anyone.
Yes, everyone's butts have been dirty over the years, but there's still a lot of variation in the dirty category.Some count as inaction, some count as dereliction of duty, some are side-firing, and some are blatant crimes.If it is thoroughly investigated, some will be dismissed at most, and some will have to be imprisoned.
In this regard, he dared to make a face-to-face comparison with most of the officials in the alliance, and the comparison method completely borrowed from Hong Tao's method.We don't need to deal with it in a low-key manner internally. If you want to tear your face, don't cover it up. Let the world know how happy it is, and whoever loses will be ruined!
"Who are you scolding! Scold one more!"
Wu Jianzhang was still immature, and Jiao Qiao's few words made him really angry, and the guy who was caught by him jumped up from his seat, and they entered the street cursing mode together.
"I'll scold whoever has a bad heart. I've seen money-pickers, but I haven't seen scold-pickers!" Of course Jiao Qiao would not be cowardly, and continued to provoke with his arms rolled up.
In this way, all status and status became masks, and the two men immediately turned into a pair of fighting cocks. If there was no conference table between them, they would definitely have to fight to the flesh.
The ministers sitting near the two had to pretend to persuade the fight even if they wanted to watch the excitement, but it was okay if they didn't persuade them, and the situation escalated immediately after they persuaded them.The two dragged several people together, knocking down all the chairs along the way, and the conference room instantly became a vegetable market.
Due to the loud noise, the air crew soldiers standing guard outside had to push open the door to see the situation, for fear of hurting someone. Got a concussion...
Chapter 1108
"Boom...boom... let go! What are you doing, what are you doing? Are you trying to bully me for being incompetent, or are you planning to toss up the government! Come on, come on, whoever refuses to accept it will try with me, and whoever loses will resign, okay? it is good!"
Seeing the Council of Ministers turned into a toad hole, Randy looked up at the ceiling and let out a long breath.It's too useless. Compared with the revival alliance back then, I, the head of the government, is simply begging for perfection. No one really takes it seriously.
But giving up halfway is not in his character. Besides, the secretary-general has a trump card, which can dissolve the government and reorganize it when certain conditions are met.If anyone really doesn't give face at all, then don't blame yourself for denying your relatives, and you will be killed.
Seeing Randy was really impatient, Jiao Qiao and Wu Jianzhang stopped swearing, and sat back in their seats angrily, only flirting with each other with their eyes.The other ministers and deputy ministers naturally also took their seats, and order was quickly restored in the conference room.
"...Chairman, the decision made by Minister Jiao is indeed for a reason, and it is too late to go through the process. If the army did not intervene quickly, either refugees will flood into the base, or blood will flow into rivers on the third ring road.
I believe that any scene is something that everyone does not want to see, and it is also very detrimental to the league as a whole.But the rules cannot be completely abandoned, so I suggest a vote on the entry of the air crew into the base. "
But it's also embarrassing to stare and waste like this. The key to the problem is the air crew.Randy lit his cigarette again, covering his face in the smoke, and finally made a decision after half a stick.Unbiased, let everyone in the room decide whether it is a serious violation or not.
"The council reserves the right to impeach..." Since it was a meeting of government ministers, the secretary-general must be the one who made the decision. No matter how unhappy Chu Qiu was, he couldn't do it for him. He could only exert some moderate pressure on behalf of the council.
As for whether there is a chance for the ministers to vote to win Jiao Qiao, Chu Qiu didn't expect it at all.Randy has made it clear that the neutrals will not vote against it. The number of reformers in the government alone is not enough to achieve the final result.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic now, let's talk about the situation of each department first." The result of the vote was not surprising. Two-thirds of the votes supported the entry of the air crew into the base, which is not considered a serious violation.
Randy didn't care whether Chu Qiule was happy or not, so he changed the topic and brought back the topic of the meeting.Now he must have a full grasp of the scope and extent of the influence of the refugee assembly before he can decide what to do next.
"We have lost [-]% of our labor force within two hours. As the news continues to spread, the current loss of personnel continues. Basically, all construction projects have stopped. Except for a small number of military factories, most enterprises have also stopped operations .
In addition, the refugees in Jinmen Port and Huang Ye also gathered on a large scale. If remedial measures are not taken as soon as possible, by this time tomorrow, the ports and oil fields will also face a situation where no one will go to work.
I just contacted Changchun and Xi'an, and the situation is not optimistic.The local refugees should have direct contact with the refugees in Beijing. Once they move, our production, transportation, agriculture, animal husbandry, and energy extraction and processing industries will all come to a standstill.
The most troublesome thing is that the equipment in some factories must be operated continuously, otherwise it will cause irreversible and huge losses that cannot be made up in a short time, such as oil wells and blast furnaces in steel factories. "
As the largest department of the alliance, the Minister of Logistics, Lu Yejiangnan, took the lead in starting the work report.He is in charge of various material reserves, and has strict income and expenditure plans. Once disrupted, the impact will be very large.
"The road transportation near the base has been cut off, and the railway is still running normally, but there is a serious shortage of porters. I am planning to discuss with Minister Lu Ye whether we can first deploy some engineers to assist in the loading and unloading of the freight yard. If the train arriving at the station cannot be smoothly Unload the cargo and the entire railway will be occupied."
Next is Song Changsheng from the Ministry of Transport. His department is a big employer of refugees. Regardless of roads or railways, drivers can be official residents, but porters are basically refugees, let alone a transportation company composed entirely of refugees.Now it is useless to have only trains and trucks. The road is not broken, but it is almost broken.
"Where is Sun Changzhong in the east of the city? Can his transportation company top out at critical moments, and the restrictions on remuneration can be relaxed." The logistics department has relatively large difficulties, but they are not insurmountable. There are still many regular resident employees in key industrial and mining enterprises. Yes, it is impossible to resume production in an all-round way, but it should be possible to keep key equipment.
But the transportation industry is difficult. It is impossible to transfer all the engineers to be porters. One day can save emergency, two days, three days, one week?Right now, we have to find a way from the refugees as much as possible. As long as a part of the refugees stay, it can play a role in differentiation. It is completely worth paying some extra price for this.
"I have been contacting him since I heard the news, but I have never received a reply. The liaison officer sent out has returned and said that he is not in the company, and no one knows where he has gone. Now the safe zone in the east of the city is almost becoming a The city is empty, and the refugees have all gone to the south of the city, and it is too difficult to find people."
Song Changsheng shook his head helplessly, his face full of embarrassment.The Ministry of Transport was the first to engage in gray industries in the refugee areas. The amount of tribute paid by the Zhongyi and Changfeng transportation companies each year caused many ministers to suffer from pink eye disease, and Sun Changzhong's name has long since become an open secret.
But it was the Ministry of Transport that had the first big scandal. The deputy minister actually died in bed with a ladyboy, and this ladyboy was the manager of Zhongyi Company, so he was as passive as he could be.
Right now is the critical moment to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a short time, and his performance is still so bad that he can't even find Sun Changzhong's people.Without anyone's analysis, the next government probably won't have Minister Song Changsheng's nameplate.
"You don't need to look for it. Even if he is still alive, he doesn't have the ability to control the transportation company. According to the report of the field staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the leader of the refugee team in the East Safety Zone is Sun Changfeng Transportation Company. rather.
He is Sun Changzhong's sworn brother and has always been the number two of the two transportation companies.But since he came back from Xinyang, he had a lot of conflicts with Sun Changzhong. He even visited the Ping An Transportation Company in person, and scolded Hu Yang and Wang Gang in the street. "
Lin Na went to the scene of the crime in person, and Lan Yuer was present at the meeting on behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The ministers have long been used to the issue of candidates and have no objections.It was not the first time for Lan Yuer to participate in such a highest-level meeting, and she was not emotionally nervous at all.
"Minister Li, how is the production of agricultural machinery and oil production equipment? Spring is about to start, and spring plowing and planting are needed everywhere. The KLMY oil field also needs to invest in equipment transformation. The deployment of personnel has been completed. If the equipment cannot keep up, the alliance's The loss would be great."
If you are not in charge of the family, you don’t know how expensive Chai Mi is. Randy’s job is really not easy. You have to think about all aspects, and you have to be clear about the priorities.This year is the first year for the East Asian Alliance to fully digest and absorb the fruits of victory in Xinjiang Province. If it fails to hit the ground running at the beginning, the performance of his administration will be greatly reduced, and it will easily become the material used by competitors to attack it. .
"As long as there are no major disturbances in Jinmen Port and Xi'an Base, the production tasks can be guaranteed. However, guarantees must be given in terms of transportation. We adopt the method of batch production and centralized matching, and raw materials and spare parts require a lot of transportation capacity."
Li Xiang still has the character of being able to finish one word and resolutely not saying two words. Before Randy asked, he had been burying his head in the notebook to calculate, and the result was mixed.
"Secretary-General, don't forget about each one. As long as it is a production department, no matter industry, agriculture or energy mining, it must be inseparable from transportation, and a small number of cars cannot make up for it. If the railway department loses its loading and unloading capacity, it is tantamount to nothing.
I think the most critical task at present is to keep the three sub-bases of Changchun, Xi'an and Jinmen Port from being affected by the refugee assembly. Two-thirds of our light and heavy industries and energy mining are located there. "
At this time, Chu Ting suddenly spoke. She is not only Randy's wife, but also the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture.As the saying goes, the onlooker knows the truth. After listening for a long time, I have somewhat learned something.
Chapter 1109 Descends from the sky
"At present, the gathering of refugees in the safety zone of the capital has formed a large scale, and how to deal with it will not return to normal immediately. But it is not too late to remedy the situation. If the speed of spread can be controlled, the loss will be minimized, and there will be enough for later processing methods. More space, not too passive."
The sudden new idea stunned the ministers who were struggling to figure out the current difficulties in their departments.Chu Qiu had no production tasks and was relatively free, so he took the lead and slapped his hands to express his sincere approval.
At the same time, she also vaguely pointed out the various possibilities of the follow-up process. If the three main sub-bases are not affected, the alliance government can not rush to negotiate terms with the refugees at the assembly. After a little delay, maybe it will wait for changes.
This is how Sun Feihu's utopia was dragged away at the beginning. Compared with the government agencies, the loose refugee organization still lacks cohesion. After a long time, with pressure and temptation, it will slowly dissolve like limestone meeting water.
"...Ministers, do you think military control must be implemented now?" Randy certainly understood the subtext of these words, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
AWB
