Chapter 164 Going to the Military and Political Department
Chapter 164 Going to the Military and Political Department
It's already this late. If Li Shaoyi doesn't know that Manager Cai has good intentions towards us, then coming here at this time will definitely not bring any good things.
But Manager Cai is a dark green man and would never cheat Li Shaoyi no matter what.
"Brother Cai, what's the urgent matter?"
Li Shaoyi quickly let Manager Cai in. He looked so anxious that sweat was coming out of his head.
"This is my fault. A few more people came tonight, so I had a few extra drinks with them. On the way back, a waiter told me that Sun Zhongyue from the Tongzhou Administrative Office, the guy who was driven to Nanjing by the Japanese, has recently started activities in Nanjing and has already contacted the Executive Yuan's special envoy, Ma Te. He said he wanted to implement some kind of separation of military and political power. I came here in a hurry because I was afraid I would ruin your plan."
Manager Cai said breathlessly that they were all preparing to leave work, but who knew that Manager Cai boasted to everyone that he met an anti-Japanese hero today, and then a waiter talked about some things about the anti-Japanese hero, and Manager Cai really heard something unfavorable to Li Shaoyi.
Sun Zhongyue?
Li Shaoyi had some information about this person in his mind.
This guy is not a traitor, but he is extremely afraid of death. When the autonomous government occupied Tongzhou, this guy ran faster than a rabbit.
Without its own territory, it is naturally just an empty shell, so it has been idle all the time.
It was nothing originally, we just kept to ourselves. Now I’ve taken Tongzhou back at the risk of my life, and you want to take advantage of me?
"Thank you for the information, Brother Cai. I have an idea now. I will take it back and give it to my child."
Li Shaoyi took out a hundred-dollar bill.
In Jinling, you can't do anything too shabby. Even a hundred yuan in French francs might not be enough here.
"Commissioner Li, that's not what I meant..."
Manager Cai took two steps back.
"It doesn't mean anything. Are you complaining about it being too little?"
Li Shaoyi immediately drew out another one, which made Manager Cai at a loss as to what to say. The people who came and went at Jinling Hotel were all powerful and wealthy, but there were not many people who were as generous as Li Shaoyi. Two hundred US dollars was equivalent to eight hundred oceans, which was unique among tips.
"This……"
"It's nothing serious. Since we are all brothers, I should take it home to the child. Normally, I should go there in person, but I have these things to do in Jinling. I will definitely visit you another day."
Li Shaoyi said this very seriously, and put the money into Manager Cai's pocket without any explanation. It took a lot of persuasion for this guy to accept it.
"Brother, this guy surnamed Sun is looking for death. He dares to mess with us."
Ma Leizi said viciously, we came to Jinling to ask for an official position, and that guy also came to ask for an official position, but we got it through real work, what do you have in your hand?
"He's not on the same path as us. Don't worry for now. Just keep in mind that these days, we rely on guns. Even if he runs away with the commissioner of the administrative office, as long as the command of the army is in our hands, we don't have to worry about anything."
Li Shaoyi sneered. Even if the commander of the independent brigade was given to someone named Sun, there was no need to rush. Do you think you can command these thousands of brothers with just an empty title?
If this were a normal army, all expenses would need Mr. Sun's approval, and you would have really held our throat. But I don't need anything here. You just need to try your best to curry favor with these people. In the end, you will have no rights at all, and you can be used as a living target for future officials who come to our territory to learn from.
At dawn the next day, a major from the Military and Political Department was already waiting at the door. It turned out that Wu Zhenkui was not bragging.
Li Shaoyi was still waiting for Mayor Yuan to find some connections for him before he could meet Deputy Minister Wu of the Military and Political Department.
But now nothing is needed. People from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs are already waiting at the door, and they said that Deputy Minister Wu will reserve the half hour from 9:30 to 10:00 in the morning for Li Shaoyi.
It's really easy to be an official if you have connections in the court. In the past, it took a lot of effort to get into the office of this deputy minister. Now, I have become friends with the secretary and he can do things for you the next day without spending a penny.
Except for Ma Leizi, no one else followed. There are requirements for entering the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs of the National Government. Except for your personal police officer, no one else can follow. Those who have a car cannot drive it. Everyone must ride in the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs' car.
"brother."
As soon as the car stopped in the lobby, Wu Zhenkui came over waving his hand. Most officers who walked by here knocked on the door. Only the son of a bureaucrat like Wu Zhenkui was not afraid of anywhere.
When the others heard this voice, they all frowned, but when they saw that it was the secretary of the Deputy Minister, they kept silent. Minister He of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has many part-time jobs and is not necessarily here. Most of the work is done by Chief Wu, so Secretary Wu Zhenkui is also very popular here.
"Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"
Li Shaoyi pointed to the rest area on the first floor. Many people were waiting here for business, and Li Shaoyi should also wait here.
"Then why don't you just go over and wait. I'm sure someone will come and tell you before sunset this afternoon. I don't know what time they'll tell you."
Wu Zhenkui smiled and said, this is how things are done these days, if there is someone in the yamen, you can enjoy very good treatment, if there is no one, you can wait here.
Li Shaoyi didn't want to chat here with these people, he had plenty of things to do.
Following Wu Zhenkui up the building, there were almost green lights all the way. Between each floor, there were armed military police standing guard. If you were not a permanent resident here, you would have to be inspected. However, because Wu Zhenkui was there, these people did not dare to say a word.
"Report."
When he arrived at the office door, Wu Zhenkui put away the smile on his face and gave a standard military salute. Although he was his elder at home, he had to distinguish clearly when he came to the government office where he worked.
"Enter."
About two minutes later, a voice came from inside, but Wu Zhenkui did not go in immediately. Instead, he asked Li Shaoyi to wait for a while. A major general came out from inside. Judging from the expression on his face, he must have just been scolded.
If Wu Zhenkui hadn't led the way, Li Shaoyi would have gone in just now. It turns out that if the previous one doesn't come out, the next one can't go in. This is also the rule here. If you go in rashly and hear something you shouldn't hear, you might be immediately isolated and investigated. This is the rule of the Military and Political Department...
