The next step was a routine body search. Except for cigarette cases, lighters, handkerchiefs, pens, and wallets, there were no weapons.Instead, he found a pistol in the briefcase on the car seat, with the safety on and not loaded.
"...Are you from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" The man was quite obedient, got up and led the horse into the yard, but paused at the gatehouse, glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, and his tone finally changed a bit.
"Not exactly...Go in!" Hong Tao probably guessed who this person is, the legendary godfather behind Zhang Ruke.
When the gate of the courtyard was opened, Director Hong Da had already thought of a new role for the unexpected visitor, a three-way marriage in Taoyuan.The three guns were lying on the bed, one of them was a league official.If Wang Jian's little bastard hadn't come here running around, he would call him uncle in the future!
But the sound of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made Director Hong hesitate immediately.After seeing the corpse, this guy made a profound judgment on the situation. He directly ignored the kidnappers, robbery and other speculations, and actually pointed his target at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"...Oh, it was sent by that Korean girl... Hehehe, I don't ask what benefits she promised you, but I have to explain something clearly. If you kill me in this way, they and you, and Zhou Yuan will be subject to strict scrutiny, if this case falls into the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how sure are you of getting out?"
The man parked the carriage, followed Hong Tao's instructions and walked towards the small building, walking steadily, with his hands crossed behind his back.From the body language, there is no trace of fear, and the words he said while walking brought out some new content.
Korean girls?Hong Tao thought about it carefully, if there is a Korean woman who can be compared with Zhou Yuan, it should be Pei Jinxi and Pei Shanxi.Judging from this person's tone, his position should not be low, but with such a hoarse voice, I really don't remember it.
"So what?" In order to make this person continue to misunderstand, Hong Tao made the smell of sheep fat stronger, or called it blunt.
"Can I sit down?"
"It's fine on the ground, but not on the sofa!" Hong Tao didn't search the living room on the first floor carefully, who knows if he hid a gun somewhere, so he didn't dare to relax in the slightest about this request.
"Okay... Whoops... I know that many people in the foreign ministry and the army are bewitched by them, and are willing to sacrifice their lives for bullshit ideals. But have you ever thought about it, even if you sacrifice your life, it may be meaningless of.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is doing spy work, so it can't do internal affairs, while most of the generals in the military, including Minister Jiao, are neutral.If you engage in assassinations, I think they will no longer be neutral. At that time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Logistics alone, plus you foreign survivors, can make waves?
I'm afraid that if they fail to achieve their goals, they will get burned, prompting the alliance to further tighten restrictions on foreign members, or even a big purge!Is this the result you want?
Obviously not, I don't think Zhou Yuan is so stupid, so she took the initiative to give the blame.Now that she is not at the base, this order must have been issued by Pei Shanxi behind her superiors' backs. Not only is she indiscriminate, but many people will die along with her. Are you still willing to carry out it? "
The man was wrapped in a coat, and he sat down on the carpet with his legs crossed, talking eloquently, and in a few words, he analyzed the general situation within the alliance clearly and well-founded.
Chapter 766 Extras 2
"...How do you know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs won't be on our side!" If it weren't for the fear that his attire would make the other party suspicious, Hong Tao really wanted to turn on the light to see who this person was. The mouth actually played a heart attack with himself.
Let’s do it, there’s still some time, let’s play with you, and just listen to the inside story of the alliance from another side, which is more real than extorting a confession by any means, especially when the other party feels confident in convincing the opponent.
"Hehehe, you haven't joined the alliance for a long time, have you? Let me think about it... Did you come here with the Four Provinces Alliance? Oh yes, you should not be Korean, but North Korean!
Let me just say, but those who join in the first few batches will not ask such childish questions.It seems that you have been cheated by the girl surnamed Pei, she is using you as cannon fodder!
Do not believe it?Then I'll tell you why the military and the Ministry of the Interior have never been involved in factional struggles... Don't be so nervous, I don't have a weapon and I don't know kung fu, it's always scary to carry it. "
Hong Tao's rhetorical question made the man slap his knees and chuckle. Now he can basically confirm the origin of this killer who speaks blunt Chinese, and at the same time, his confidence in convincing this guy has also increased to [-]-[-]%.But you still can't be too relaxed. If you want to persuade people, you can't just rely on your mouth, you must have dry goods.
"I'm not Korean..."
After spending so many years in Xinjiang Province, Hong Tao has played lone rangers, shepherds, refugees, gold diggers, and even robbers.This time I finally had a chance, and my whole body was filled with fighting spirit, come on, Biao Biao's acting skills, let's see who is capable!This sentence of denial must be spoken harshly, full of anger, because people have seen through the source; it must also be full of stubbornness, because it does not want to admit defeat; raising the muzzle is a threat of anger; The kimchi taste transitions from the front to the back.
"Okay, okay, no, no... I won't introduce who the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Armed Forces are, and what the relationship between them is. You must know. But you must not know why the couple has never been clear. Declare which faction you support!
To put it simply, Minister Lin and Minister Jiao are good people with love and righteousness. They were rescued by Chairman Hong... Chairman Hong, do you know who it is?Take a look, be dumbfounded!The first chairman of the alliance, the founder and founder of the alliance, you didn't think of it immediately.
I'm right, you joined the alliance relatively late, you haven't experienced the initial stage of entrepreneurship, and you don't have a deep impression of Chairman Hong.Both Minister Lin and Minister Jiao have worked hard with Chairman Hong since they were just a few people.It was so hard back then, there were zombies everywhere, if you want to find food and drink, you have to...
Hey, don't mention it, let's talk about business.Chairman Hong passed away unexpectedly, and no successor was arranged. Who should be the chairman?Minister Lin and Minister Jiao were the first to stand up to support the current chairman.
They said that they don't want to see people fighting over this position, so let's not fight and let Chairman Hong's widow, Ms. Chuqiu, be the chairman... Can I have a cigarette? "
The man did not expose Hong Tao's guilty conscience face to face, put his hands on his knees, and began to talk about the reasons why the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Armed Forces did not participate in the factional struggle.
"..." Hong Tao threw the cigarette case and lighter on the carpet without saying a word.
It was the first time he had heard someone describe the situation in detail. He had asked Zhou Yuan the last time he met, but that woman seemed reluctant to talk about it, so she hastily brushed it off.There is indeed not enough time, so I only briefly introduce the current situation of the next few main characters.
"Hiss... Huh..." He picked up the cigarette case and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then let it out long before the man continued.
"However, since the chairman took over in early autumn, there have been serious differences in the management model within the alliance. Some people want to learn from the West, such as Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Jiangnan of the Logistics Department, and most of the foreign members.
There are also some people who are more willing to inherit China's traditional model, with Minister Song of the Ministry of Transport, Minister of Water of the Ministry of Culture and Education, Minister Li of the Ministry of Machinery, some domestic survivors and less than half of the council members.
The chairman, Chu Qiu, and the secretary-general, Randy, have no stance in name. In fact, the chairman is the backbone of the reformist faction, and Randy is more on the side of the royalists, but he does not participate in public debates and express his views.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the military are truly neutral, but if you think about it, most of the members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the military are mainly domestic survivors. Among other things, the General Staff is actually on the side of the chairman. Minister Jiao didn't clearly express his objection, so that already explained the problem.
As the coalition grows stronger, so does the proportion of domestic survivors.You are not familiar with or interested in the Western stuff, so why take the risk to try it.
Don't have to wait too long, as long as the Southeast Alliance is merged, Zhou Yuan and Lu Yejiangnan will not be able to support it.You shouldn't be too old, and you still have many years to live, so why bother fooling around with them.
The management method used by the top management has little to do with most members.The development of the alliance over the years is obvious to all. Why is it necessary to change to a method that everyone is unfamiliar with? "
These words sound convoluted, many characters only have their titles but not their full names, but Hong Tao understood.I didn't expect that Chu Qiu would be embraced as the chairman of the alliance before. When I heard Zhou Yuan talk about it, I was a little moved. I felt that the big guy gave the widow a very high treatment for his own sake.
It's just an honor, and it won't have much effect on the development of the alliance, and Chu Qiu doesn't have that ability.But judging from the meaning of this man's words, Chu Qiu is really not just an honorary chairman.
She not only fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations of the chairman, but also united a group of senior officials around her, intending to lead the alliance to create a new road different from her own ideas... or call it an old road, an old road that has been known for thousands of years.
It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured!In Shi Chuqiu, he showed no assertiveness, and even seldom participated in government affairs meetings, always raising his hands along with him.But after leaving himself, he became independent instead, not only having his own opinions but also participating in power struggles, comparable to Wu Zetian and Cixi.
Hong Tao really couldn't figure out why a person would undergo such a huge change, but he had doubts about the bright future the man said.Since you have followed the rules I set for 11 years and achieved a lot, why do you have to change fundamentally instead of tinkering?
Learning from the West and inheriting the tradition are both embellishments in rhetoric. It sounds vague and difficult to find the true meaning, but in fact the translation is very simple.
Continue to manage according to the rules set by yourself, maintain the board of directors’ power restrictions on officials, and prevent one party from dominating. Everyone has to sit together to negotiate, choose, and balance in everything. This is the so-called learning from the West.
In fact, the Chinese ancestors played this set of games earlier than Westerners, and it was basically done like this before the Song Dynasty.Qin is an exception, Qin was more obvious before.At that time, what the emperor said didn't count, and what the ministers said didn't count. The emperor and the ministers had to sit together and discuss it, and they were not allowed to beheaded at every turn.
The so-called inheritance of tradition actually refers to the highly centralized model after the Ming Dynasty, where power is absolutely centralized, and most people don't need to think or participate, just listen to the call and work hard.Let me do what you want, don't question and don't hesitate, the work of thinking is left to a very small number of people.
Don't discuss the pros and cons of the two. If you talk too much, it will be the arrival of the beast.In fact, this is the specific manifestation of the latter model, which prevents thinking and discussion, let alone evaluating the pros and cons.
According to Hong Tao's understanding, he feels that the latter method is not entirely a disadvantage. If most of the policies can be ensured to be reasonable, the efficiency of implementation will be astonishingly high.But there is a problem that must be considered in advance, and that is human nature.
Will some people maintain their original intention and work for the welfare of all the people when they have gained uncontrolled power?It is obviously not possible to analyze it according to human nature. People are always self-interested, which is due to nature.
Who doesn't have relatives and friends, and who doesn't want their family and friends to profit first.In such a situation, if the power in hand is not controlled, abuse will naturally occur.For example, Sun Changzhong's transportation company, Jiang Menshen's Antong Machinery Company, and Sun Feihu's construction company...
"...Chairman Hong also borrowed from European and American methods?" Now Hong Tao wants to ask this brash man, who is unwilling to inherit the tradition and insists on changing the rules that are still working for his own self-interest.
"You don't understand. Could it be the same situation back then and now? In order to unite more people to fight against zombies and resume production, Chairman Hong had to let everyone have something to do.
Now that the alliance has grown more than ten times, if we still quarrel over a trivial matter, the internal friction is too serious, so it is unnecessary.If Chairman Hong was alive, he might have changed the model a long time ago.I followed him all the way from the small courtyard by the seaside, so I don't know what he was thinking.
In fact, the alliance has treated you foreigners very well, and has never discriminated against you. What are the jobs and benefits that you should have?One must be conscientious in being a human being. After all, this is the land of China, and the host cannot let all the benefits be enjoyed by the guests.
Even if you choose one person, one vote according to your rules, the final result will definitely be that the domestic survivor wins!But why bother, in that case everyone will be completely torn apart, and it will be difficult to live together in the future! "
Faced with this question, the man waved his hand indifferently, and made an authoritative explanation from the height of one of the founders.He also brought Hong Tao in as an endorsement, and it was easy to give it to the representative.
Chapter 767 Acting Lonely
Hong Tao is really puzzled, who is this veteran figure who keeps saying to start a business with him?Judging from his figure, he was dressed quite thickly in winter, and he really couldn't see through it with such a sharp eye.
The room was dark and I couldn't see his face clearly. Hearing his voice, he didn't have any impression at all.The only thing that is certain is that this guy should be a native of Beijing, full of Beijing movies.
"I've heard the radio, you and the Human Survivors Alliance said that's not the case!"
But now is not the time to reveal the truth, so that it is less easy to hear the inner monologue.Come on, let you utter a few more words of truth, and take a few more steps towards the road of death.Those who dare to harm their reputation in this way can be punished, and they must be punished!
"Hahahaha... You soldiers don't understand politics at all. The Human Survivor Alliance is nothing, why do they care about the internal affairs of the East Asian Alliance?
In the past, these foreigners liked to point fingers and teach others how to live. It's a pity that the zombie disease didn't show mercy just because they were advanced, and they died all the same.The geomantic omen changes in turn, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, now it's the turn of the Chinese to be the masters.
Have Commander Pei, Minister Zhou, and Minister Jiangnan told you that the alliance army will soon move to the front line of the Yangtze River?Don't worry, wait until the Southeast and Southwest Alliances are all eaten up, and the next target is Southeast Asia and Europe.
Think about it for yourself, with the current military strength and population of the alliance, as well as the increasingly complete energy mining and machining capabilities, which group can withstand a full blow?
So I advised you to choose a side as soon as possible, and the chairman of the board did not say that all foreigners should be excluded.As long as people who have contributed to the alliance and are truly willing to integrate into the alliance are welcome regardless of race or nationality, they will be treated accordingly. "
Seeing that Hong Tao was at the end of his mind, and even brought up such an illusory organization as the Human Survivors Alliance, the man couldn't help laughing.That expression is absolutely invincible, as if he has already leveled the continent of Europa, and is standing on the rocks by the sea, expressing the pride of the winner towards the other side of the sea.
"You can turn your back on the promises you made at the beginning, how can the nonsense you say now count! Please, can you be more serious when fooling people, if you can't even be a liar, how can you talk about a great empire that dominates the world? !"
Hong Tao really couldn't listen anymore, he had to see who this ambitious, talented, nonsense bastard was, and how Chu Qiu became a political ally with such a person.
"...you, you... who the hell are you!" Suddenly hearing the capital dialect with a familiar tone, the man immediately put away his smug expression, and borrowed the few rays of moonlight coming in from the window to look around. He looked around vigorously, trying to see the masked face in front of him clearly.
"Click..." Hong Tao looked around, but he didn't find any obvious power switch, so he didn't look for it at all, lit the lighter and put it on the coffee table next to him.He reached out to take off the night vision device, took off the fleece hood, rubbed his face deliberately, and moved closer to the fire.
"Ghost...Ghost..." Probably because he was confused by anger, Hong Tao forgot the large scar on his left face, and the flickering light of the fire made the man roll back in fright.I wanted to get up, but my legs were numb, and I kicked like a little toad to no avail.
If he didn't intend to kill just now, then Hong Tao 100% doesn't want this guy alive now.Anyway, you are also a meat ticket, you don't know how to restrain yourself, pointing at the kidnapper's face and making such a disgusting expression, it hurts people's self-esteem too much.
"Ghost your mother's ghost... come, look again, look carefully, who am I!" But death must be understood, there is an oil lamp on the window sill, Hong Tao took it to light it, walked over to squat down , and moved his face closer again.
"Hong, Uncle Hong...don't scare me, I really didn't do anything wrong to you and my aunt..." The man who was half lying on the carpet didn't dare to get up, just looked up at the approaching The face was finally recognized, but it still seemed to be a ghost.
"...Feng Wu? Why is your voice like this!" At the same time, Hong Tao could clearly see the man's face by the light of the oil lamp, mainly the acne scars on his face.It's really rare to be able to grow so much and be so uniform. In my impression, there is only one person who has done it perfectly, Zhang Fengwu!
"Uncle Hong, is it really you? You, you are still alive!" After a short period of panic, Zhang Fengwu also came to his senses, the face in front of him is really not a ghost, but a living person, Hong Tao is not dead!
"I might as well die, so I can't see you ruining my reputation behind my back! You are Sun Changzhong's backstage at the Ministry of Transport, right? Tell me, what's going on here, and the Erjiazi upstairs is another Who raised it!"
Meeting old friends should have been very warm and sensational, but Hong Tao couldn't get excited.Now everything is clear, Zhang Fengwu running here in the middle of the night is definitely not working overtime to check the work.He did such a disgusting thing, and he kept saying that he was Chu Qiu's ally. This damn is a disaster!
"Uncle, Uncle, listen to my explanation... Sun Changzhong's transportation company and this place are both strongholds of reformist activities. If you want Auntie to secure her position, you have to win over those directors, which is also impossible.
I can guarantee that the girls are all voluntary. They can eat and drink here without training and work. The ration is higher than others, and many girls will rush to come here.Yes yes yes, I know you don't like these things, immediately, I will find someone to vacate this place, and I will never do it again.
When you come back, Zhou Yuan and Lu Ye Jiangnan will not be able to make waves!I have in my hand the evidence that they secretly set up a base, specially selected young girls for special training, and the account details of the logistics department outsourcing procurement tasks to refugee companies at high prices, and getting kickbacks from it... Oops..."
Hearing these questions, Zhang Fengwu's face turned pale.He is very familiar with Hong Tao's temperament. He looks very evil, but he looks down on some unspoken rules and special practices in officialdom the most.
Now that Sun Changzhong and Zhang Ruke have been exposed, it would be useless to explain more, it is better to bring in more people, plus Chu Qiu, so that the law will not blame everyone.As long as we get through the present and find an opportunity to admit our mistakes privately in the future, with a better attitude, there is still hope to get out, maybe we won't even deal with it publicly.
After all, they are old friends, and I have been very supportive of Chu Qiu these years, and I have spent my life on several occasions. I don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. This person still values friendship.
But before he finished speaking, he was kicked hard on the face, so powerful that he almost broke his cervical vertebrae.The whole person lay on his back on the carpet again, his eyes were full of little stars, and his head was buzzing.
"Who are they? Besides Erjiazi upstairs, are there other people here?"
If Zhang Fengwu didn't talk about these messy things, Hong Tao wouldn't be very angry. Most people would be at a loss when facing power.Especially when ordinary people suddenly gain a lot of power, the contrast is terrible.Didn't the ancients say that the villain succeeds.
But when I heard that there were almost no good things from top to bottom, I couldn't bear the anger or disappointment anymore.He calculated that he sacrificed his life and fought hard for two years, and finally got such a result.
When I sneaked into the headquarters of the Redeemer, I told Sun Dacheng how beautiful and promising the East Asian Union was, but it turned out to be shameless bragging.
The only thing that the East Asian Alliance is better than the Redeemer is that it is more covert to do bad things, hiding behind the rules it made and doing it secretly. In its bones, it is not necessarily better than the group of fake monks in the ascetic order.
"No, no..." Zhang Fengwu covered his bleeding mouth and nose, his eyes still rolling.
"Believe it or not, I'll break all your limbs and let the stubble grind into your flesh little by little!" Hong Tao didn't believe it, he stepped on Zhang Fengwu's ankle and threatened viciously.
"The basement...the door is under the desk in the next room...Uncle Hong, I promise, they are all voluntary..."
Zhang Fengwu really dare not bet that this is a bluff, anyway, Zhang Ruke upstairs has been exposed, and the rest of the people are not all raised by themselves, the more people they bring in, the safer they are.
Hong Tao didn't go to the basement right away, but raised his wrist and looked at his watch.It was less than four hours before the meeting time, and a decision had to be made now, whether to leave or stay.
If you want to stay, suddenly appearing in the alliance at this time will definitely cause consequences that no one can expect.It is possible to turn the tide, and it may cause a split. The main thing is how to face Chu Qiu and those partners who have struggled together before.
You can't lie to your death for nearly ten years, and don't say anything after you come back. In order to stabilize the situation, first bring your daughter-in-law to justice, and then arrest a group of people, kill a group of people, replace a group of people, and promote a group of people.
I trampled on all the rules I made at the beginning, and after I sat down firmly, I told everyone nonchalantly: I did this for your own good, you must understand, and you must be grateful!
If you want to leave, you have to act immediately, and if you delay, you may not be able to catch up with Hu Yang's convoy.But Zhang Fengwu must be dealt with before leaving. If he knew that he was an acquaintance just now, he should not take off his mask.There is no need to be embarrassed now, throwing it here after being knocked out will not destroy the plan.
"...I owed your uncle a favor back then, and my ten years of life should have been paid off." Thinking of this, Hong Tao raised his pistol.
"No, I... Puff..." Zhang Fengwu turned pale with shock, and struggled to sit up, but what greeted him was a bullet, which accurately penetrated into the forehead.Hong Tao was still afraid that he would not die, so he shot another shot in the chest.
There was indeed a secret door under the desk next door. After Hong Tao opened it, he didn't go down to check it, but went to the porter to continue fiddling with the delay ignition device. In less than 10 minutes, I came to the outside of the courtyard, looked back at the small building again, without the slightest joy of success in my heart, turned around and got into the dark night.
Chapter 768 Happy Days
After an 8-day long journey, a train from Hami arrived at Beijing North Station on time in the early morning.
This train looked unusual. Its ten carriages were all equipped with passenger cars, and there was not a single freight car.But this anomaly was not enough to make the Union army feel like an enemy, the entire station was surrounded, and horse-drawn carriages with various government marks rushed in.
It was not the train that made the high-level leaders of the East Asian Alliance mobilize, but the people in the train.A total of 1500 survivors from Xinjiang Province, considered the first batch of immigrants, arrived smoothly!
Regardless of the small number, their arrival is a very important signal.It was announced that the Redeemer Organization, which had been entrenched in Xinjiang for 11 years, was disbanded, and all members were formally merged into the East Asian Union.
At the same time, it also means that the East Asian Alliance has completed the unification of northern China, and has become the largest group of survivors in the world in terms of control area, and has taken another big step towards the establishment of a country.
Faced with such an honor, it is natural not to quietly ignore it. It is essential to hold a solemn and warm welcome ceremony and broadcast it to the world. As the leader of the alliance, he must also attend and preside over it in person.
Chairman Chu Qiu led most of the members of the council, secretary-general Ran Di led most of the government officials, and Minister of Armed Forces Jiao Qiao led the generals of the sea, land and air forces to appear on the platform in unison. It was an unprecedented event!
Compared with the early autumn at this time, although her appearance is no longer, her youth has faded, and she has completely become a middle-aged woman, but the change of status has made her even better in temperament, and she looks different in her gestures.Even though the height is not dominant among the officials, it still feels a bit outstanding.
"Secretary-General, is it difficult to complete the resettlement of 3 immigrants before the summer?" Standing on her right is a foreign man with brown hair and blue-gray eyes. His age may be in his 30s, maybe in his 40s , More than 50 are fine.
