Chapter 842, Confidant Meeting

In the evening, Wu Shaoting held a meeting in the conference room of the official residence. The participants were all senior officials of the General Office of the Consul. At the meeting, he made a solemn notice of the leaked secrets by Tang Shaoyi and asked the Presidential Office to check the evidence from today. Before receiving his new instructions, he declared to the outside world that the Sino-Germany Covenant was purely fabricated.

Gu Weijun only arrived midway through the meeting. He had just met with Minister Xin Ci at the German Embassy. Although Minister Xin Ci was angry at China's leak of the Sino-Germany covenant, he was still willing to help China temporarily cover up the news considering the serious situation.

After coming to the conference room of the official residence, Gu Weijun told Wu Shaoting about this matter, and at the same time expressed his opinion: "The Germans are just helping us keep it a secret for the time being. Minister Xin Ci will hold a press conference tomorrow and deny the existence of a covenant between China and Germany. However, I can see that the Germans still have doubts about this matter. Now they are just waiting and watching the development of the situation. Once the situation in Europe changes, they may expose this matter and force China to join the war."

Wu Shaoting pondered for a moment and said, "First pass this section, when the Germans want to disclose the Sino-German alliance, we will also judge the situation. At worst, we will break up."

Gu Weijun believes that we should be careful and cautious in this matter, but these are all later things. The most urgent task is how to deal with the current crisis.

At this time, Yuzi County said: "Zhenzhi, I have been to Yuhuatai in the afternoon. Liang Zhuoru, Song Xunchu and others are all there. Although the National Congress meeting was a bit hasty, it should be no big deal."

Wu Shaoting turned around and asked, "Does Liang Zhuoru and the others know about my arrest of Tang Shaoyi?"

Yuzi County sighed and said, "I may not know at the time, but this incident was a big deal. Now it should have been spread to their side. Zhenzhi, are you worried that they will come to question it?"

Wu Shaoting smiled indifferently and said lightly: "If they don't come to find me, I still have to find them."

After saying that, he asked Cen Chunxuan again: "How is the preparations made by the Political Supervision Department?"

Cen Chunxuan calmed down slightly and replied: "The Political Supervision Department will take some time to prepare. After all, it only took a few days to establish it, and it is impossible to complete all the basic work so quickly."

Wu Shaoting certainly could understand Cen Chunxuan's difficulties, but now the Political Supervision Department must be used. He said: "The structure and facilities of the ministry can be improved slowly. However, starting tonight, a part of the manpower will be drawn, and immediately concentrate on investigating the details of the people in the Qingyuan Conference, and counting all the evidence of their violations of laws and regulations, corruption and abuse of law."

Cen Chun thought for a while and said with a puzzled look: "The staff of the Qingyuan Conference are already of a certain scale. If all of them are to be investigated, it will probably take a long time..."

Wu Shaoting said seriously: "It's only two days. No matter what method you use, no matter what kind of person you use, or whether the investigation process is legal, I will ruin them all in two days!"

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and at this time, even a needle could be heard clearly.

Wu Shaoting's words have already expressed an absolute cruelty, which is a side that has never been seen before. Even if he encountered such things in the past, he would try his best to abide by the rule of law and handle it in accordance with the rules. However, at this moment, he said such words without any concealment, which is enough to show the impact of the Tang Shaoyi incident on him.

The original purpose of establishing the Political Supervision Department and the Military Statistics Bureau was to use a legal supervision and procuratorial system to collect evidence of illegal crimes from political enemies, and use this method to suppress and exclude dissidents. This method is convinced by everyone, and it is reasonable and reasonable. For Cen Chunxuan, as long as he spends a period of time to arrange his actions, everything will come naturally.

However, if you really ignore the final rationality, it will more or less destroy the positive image of Wu Shaoting's painstaking management, and it will also seem irrational in the Tang Shaoyi incident. From Wu Shaoting's standpoint, doing so will cause some people's hearts to be won; from outsiders' standpoint, their views on Wu Shaoting will also undergo adverse changes.

"Zhenzhi, why are you doing this? It's too risky and meaningless." Cen Chunxuan immediately persuaded seriously.

"Yun Gong, I know you are not used to using such means, but as a senior, you should know that politics is cruel. I thought I could treat any cruel things calmly, but I was wrong, because some people will always be more cruel than you." Wu Shaoting said fiercely, with no respect for the elders on his face, only a kind of majesty left that belongs to the ruler.

"But it's just a matter of time. Just wait for a while and everything is fine. Why bother rush for a while?" Cen Chunxuan said persistently.

"You are right. It's just a matter of time. The most urgent issue is that I don't have that much time anymore. You all think that I convened the National Assembly in advance and limited the time I had before, right? But have you ever thought that Tang Shaoyi leaked the Sino-German alliance, and the attitude of the Allied Powers changed instantly. If I don't deal with these people as soon as possible, the Allied Powers will definitely interfere. When these two people cooperate with each other, who can know what the outcome of the National Assembly will be?" Wu Shaoting said sternly, with a serious expression.

He understood that Cen Chunxuan was an old-school bureaucrat with principles of handling things, and he also admired the practice of this old-school gentleman. However, one time and another, the overall situation was at hand, and nothing was more important than overcoming the crisis.

After listening to Wu Shaoting's words, Cen Chunxuan's face fell into difficult thoughts. When the Qing Dynasty was still there, he was known for his fairness and strictness, including the establishment of the Political Supervision Department, the Military Statistics Bureau and other anti-corruption departments. They were all based on his earlier ideas of integrity, but at this time, he had to violate his name of integrity and justice, fabricate evidence to achieve the goal of eliminating dissidents. He could not make this decision no matter what.

Wu Shaoting looked at Cen Chunxuan, adjusted his tone and said earnestly: "Mr. Yun, I know this is a difficult situation for you, but you should also know that if this group of villains had not secretly made bad things and put me in such a dilemma, I would not have chosen such extreme means. Besides, you said just now that you just need to spend some time collecting evidence to get things done. This shows that you believe that these people are unclear in their background and that their crime of breaking the law and discipline does exist. Since we all know that it does exist, how can we worry about being wronged? Are you still worried about being wronged by good people?"

Cen Chunxuan sighed heavily, clenched his fists and said, "I know what to do."

Wu Shaoting nodded with relief and said, "Yun Gong, you should do extraordinary methods at an extraordinary time. You are an old senior and you should understand this principle. When the country truly gets on track, everything has order to follow, then it will be a good time to implement the rule of law."

Cen Chunxuan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Zhenzhi, don't worry, I understand this time."

Wu Shaoting said, "I feel relieved if you have what Yun Gong said." After that, he turned to the others present and said seriously, "I hope everyone here can understand the seriousness of the situation. This is not only a struggle on the political arena, but also a struggle between our Greater China and the international powers. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, we will follow the order."

"As long as Tingshuai says, he will follow him to the death."

"We all understand that the people from the Qingyuan Conference were simply self-defeated."
