"Damn it! This is a conspiracy! This is a crime! My grass! The army bullies too much!" Former Prime Minister of the State Council, who was just shouted out by his secretary from his nap, is currently the commissioner of the Nanyazihu ​​area, and the soul of the civil servant faction, Ma Vest scolded in anger. He was originally a terrified person and trained his subordinates as if they were grandsons. He served as the Prime Minister of the State Council for thirteen years and was also the only expert in the metallurgical industry in China. He led the establishment of several of the most important enterprises in the country, such as Ping An Iron and Steel Factory, Dayuhe Arsenal, Northern Arsenal, Coking Plant, and First Machinery Factory, and strongly integrated the shipbuilding industry chain in Zhenhai County. He has a considerable reputation and prestige in both the civil servant faction and the military department.

At this moment, he heard the secretary coming overnight to report the latest conflict in the Corales mining area, and suddenly he couldn't control his temper. He walked around the living room in pajamas, cursing constantly while walking. He was scolding all the soldiers from the small army department staff to the high-powered army minister. After more than ten minutes of anger, the vest finally calmed down. Then he changed his clothes without saying a word and prepared to go out to talk to some people.

Dongfang County was restless on the last day of August. On this day, the luxury residential area next to the Chengguan Town Reservoir was full of traffic. Senior officials in carriages rushed back and forth, hurried into the home of a high-ranking official from time to time, and hurried away with a gloomy face one or two hours later. Everyone's face was very serious, as if something extraordinary happened. The police guarding the Ministry of Internal Affairs here complained even more on this day, because the people who were coming and going were high-ranking officials, and they seemed to be in a hurry. If they checked their IDs a little later, they might be scolded. This made people feel very upset.

The entire mansion area was restless for a whole day until late at night before calming down. However, it turned out that this was just the tranquility before the storm. Because the next day, the soul figure of the civil servant faction, Ma Vest, walked into the gate of the Army Department with a serious look in front of everyone.

Liao Meng, the Minister of the Army Department who was working, looked at the angry vest in a daze, and understood what was going on in his heart, but he still pretended to be confused and asked: "Commissioner Ma, why are you free to come to our Army Department to inspect? You are such a rare guest! Haha! Secretary Sun, come a pot of Longjing."

"No, I'm going to see Chairman Liu soon. Now I only ask you to do one thing. If you agree, then there is still room for recovery. If you don't agree... Humph, you can do the consequences yourself." Ma Vest said expressionlessly.

Liao Meng only served as the Minister of the Army with the support of Peng Zhicheng after returning from overseas colonies at the end of 1945. To a certain extent, he was a generation shorter than Ma Jia and others. After all, he debuted with an army veteran like Peng Zhicheng, with extraordinary qualifications and excellent political achievements. This man is from a metallurgy major and has been in charge of the construction of lifeline-level factories in many countries and has served as the Prime Minister of the Government for a long time. It would be impossible to see such a person Liao Meng is not worried. At this time, he is obviously asking for punishment, and he has to deal with it carefully. Otherwise, the trouble will be very big.

"Commissioner Ma, is there anything that cannot be solved by your government? Well, come and listen, I will never refuse if I can do it." Liao Meng tried his best to keep himself from talking and said with a smile.

Ma Qi looked at Liao Meng deeply, then shook a piece of paper in his hand, and said, "Xiao Baitu, the commander of the 6th Company of the Army, and Pu Ting, the commander of the military police, are both unreliable and provoked border provocations. The circumstances are extremely bad. I will rub me to the end and dismiss the post and investigate. There is also Wei Boqiu, the head of the Statistical Investigation Section of the Syphilis Patients. This person cannot escape. I will go to Chairman Liu to discuss this matter in person. Now you can give me a letter of approval, Xiao Baitu and Pu Ting, will they do it?"

The smile on Liao Meng's face froze. The company commander of the 6th Company Xiao Baitu, Liao Meng, still knew something. He was a complete speculator and wanted to gain the upper hand by leading radical soldiers. Liao Meng was also extremely vigilant in his heart because it would threaten his authority. However, Xiao Baitu's background was very strong. Not only did he be brothers and sisters with Liu Ang, the captain of the South African pioneer team, but he also had close ties with Zhu Liang, one of the army veterans. In the end, this guy is said to be the vice president of the National Power Tongmenghui of the military association organization. When their president Mo Ming was in the Far East, it was Xiao Baitu who was in charge of the situation. The relationship network was well connected, so it was not easy to do him.

In fact, from the bottom of my heart, Liao Meng was still very willing to do Xiao Baitu. Who made this guy dance too happily? It was just that rationally told him not to do this, because this would cause endless troubles and might terminate his political life in an instant. Those who can do Xiao Baitu without causing big troubles. At present, it seems that only retired Army veteran Peng Zhicheng is the only one, but will he do him? Maybe behind this incident, there is the figure of this guy who is still trying to remotely control the situation after retreating. This is really a headache!

As for the commander of the military police, Pu Ting, this guy is even more difficult to deal with! This guy was originally the leader of Fengji police. He strictly investigated crimes that were not conducive to assimilation such as speaking foreign languages, wearing foreign clothes, and spreading cults. Later, after Fengji police and some secret agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were adapted into the military police, Pu Ting naturally ascended the throne of the commander of the military police. This man's style is simple and crude, and his subordinates are also a group of violent elements, with countless Guarani people, Chalua and even Spanish people who died at their hands.

Liu Yun, an internal affairs committee member and director of the State Intelligence Administration, once inspected the prison of the military police. The hell-like tragic phenomenon on earth left a deep impression on him, and thus he had a more real understanding of Pu Ting. This man is a cruel guy! If he offended him, the trouble seemed to be less than offending Xiao Baitu, so Liao Meng hesitated immediately.

Seeing Liao Meng not speaking, she sneered twice and cursed: "The current army department is full of a group of evil pens, and no one is normal! Forget it, don't make things difficult for you, I will go to Peng Zhicheng later. It's meaningless to talk to you, the rubber stamp, and I won't make things difficult for you!" After that, she turned around and left, really without hesitation.

Liao Meng stood there with a gloomy face, feeling a burning sound on his face. The four words "rubber stamp" spit out from his vest really made him feel embarrassed, and he felt as if he was slapped hard on his face. After all, he was a dignified Minister of the Army. Although he had not been added to the new Central Executive Committee, why did these "old cadres" not treat themselves as human beings!

To be honest, since he took over as the Minister of the Army who was resigned from the position of the Minister of the Army at the beginning of this year, his life has been very unhappy over the past year. Although he himself is a little famous in the Army and he commanded the last battle with the Spanish in 33 years, due to his personality and other reasons, he has been a staff officer in the Army Department for the past ten years. Until a few years ago, he caught up with the expansion of the Army, and then he gained an opportunity to serve as the commander of the Army, which was a preliminary success.

By January this year, he himself served as the Minister of Army under the support of Peng Zhicheng. He was very happy at first, but soon this excitement was worn out little by little by little by little by little, such as the unruly military head, the hypocritical subordinates, and the contempt of the naval faction. These often make him sigh because he can't do many things himself.

At this moment, he was called "rubber stamp" in front of his vest, and his face immediately couldn't be held back. He hated Xiao Baitu and others who were making trouble in his heart. He secretly thought that he would give these guys a little color this time, and who made them always not give him face! The clay man is still a little bit angry, and a tiger doesn't show his power. He thinks I'm a sick cat!

No matter what Liao Meng thought at this time, Ma Qi rushed to the Executive Committee with a joint petition from almost all civil servants to meet Chairman Liu Weimin. After more than two hours of negotiation in the secret room, he hurried to Meilin Port and had a long talk with Peng Zhicheng, the veteran of the army there.

On the afternoon of September 2, Ma Vest, who returned to the capital, had a secret talk with the Ministry of Transportation and Materials, and other civilian forces (perhaps tend to be more military officials). Perhaps the result of the negotiation was quite satisfactory, and at this time Ma Vest's face was still tight and smiled slightly.

This time the incident was really too big! Due to the strong rebound of the civil service group threatened by the threat of non-cooperation, they had always been neutral and even had some sympathy for the former central boss of the military power, Shao Shude, Xiao Bailang and others, who immediately spoke, accusing Xiao Baitu and others of their reckless behavior, which made these people shout and beat them like rats crossing the street. Life was very sad, and their original ambitions were instantly gone.

On September 4, seeing the trouble getting worse, the army veteran Peng Zhicheng also publicly criticized Xiao Baitu, and Pu Ting and the other two were not political, setting a bad example for the entire army and must be punished. Peng Zhicheng's statement completely drove the two into the abyss, and it was inevitable that they would be dismissed and investigated.

On the evening of September 4, the Executive Committee held an enlarged meeting to discuss how to deal with the barracks. In addition to the executive committee members, there were many senior officials of the government, military headquarters, and some "old cadres" who had retired but had an influence. The meeting was held overnight, and there were countless debates and quarrels, but in the end, a formal resolution was made before dawn came.

Xiao Baitu, the direct person involved in the blaze of the barracks, was removed from his post as company commander of the 6th Company of the Army and was sent to New Huaxia Island for labor. It is worth noting that this is the second time that Xiao Baitu has been removed from his post and the second time he has been sent to the colony. The commander of the military police team, Pu Ting, has provided a lot of information in time when organizing the question, and knowing how to throw away pawns and protect the carts, was only transferred from his post as commander of the military police team, and he had no pain and itchy warning.

Finally, it was Wei Boqiu of Mei's agency. This person was really wronged because he was really unaware of it. Sun Heiqi, his subordinate, was proven suspicious in this incident. It is very likely that he was a nail placed by the State Intelligence Administration. This time he was probably cheated. According to his usual neutral attitude and style, it is very puzzling to intervene in this matter. Therefore, when someone pleaded with him, he was demoted and transferred to deputy commander of the military police, and together with his subordinates Han Zhen and others, he was sent to the Far East supervisor Mo Dashi. At the same time, Bao Chen'an, the deputy commander of the military police, who is now in the Far East, will be recalled to serve as the commander of the military police. As for the Mei agency, it will be temporarily entrusted by the Executive Committee.

Sun Heiqi, the leader of the Mei agency operation team who cheated Wei Boqiu, hid in the Navy Club after the incident and did not show up again. On September 6, he was found dead in the Navy Club laundry room, and was shot seven times in his body, and shot in his head, chest, abdomen, and legs. His death was extremely tragic. A joint investigation team composed of the State Administration of Intelligence, Mei agency, and military police unanimously determined that Sun Heiqi died of suicide, and the incident ended.

After dealing with this matter, it is time to face the choice of going to war with the Spaniards. Things have reached this point, and it is clear how to make a decision. Therefore, on September 7, Chairman of the Executive Committee, Liu Weimin, took up a private seal and trembledly signed his name on a declaration of war. Signed with this declaration of war, the national mobilization order, the plan to attack La Plata across the sea formulated by the military, and the order to establish the Planning and Production Management Committee, the country's entry into the wartime system.
