Chapter 208 Zheng Yaoxian was promoted to a higher position
On the second day, everyone in the investigation team finally started working normally, and Li Weiye and Li Sangui were interrogated.
First, Li Sangui was interrogated according to the procedure, and then Li Weiye was brought out.
"Li Weiye, you should know my identity. Now I am interrogating you on behalf of the investigation team. I hope you will answer truthfully!" Major General Gao Shen from the Military and Political Department said.
Li Weiye, who was sitting at the other end of the table, nodded.
The negotiating team was arranged on both sides of the table.
"Shao Wengong, Commissioner Wu, Chief of Staff Li, Chief of Staff Zuo, then I'll start!"
"Li Weiye, on July 15, the 29th year of the Republic of China, some soldiers of the 97th Army rioted under the custody of the Eighth Route Army, resulting in the death of 21 Eighth Route Army soldiers and more than 70 casualties of our soldiers. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"yes!"
"According to the transcript, you only admitted that you planned the prisoner uprising alone, and no outsiders participated. However, there are rumors that the military commander was behind the plan. How do you explain this?" Major General Gao Shen of the Military and Political Department looked at Li Weiye meaningfully.
He glanced at it and said as if he was pointing something.
Jin Moran was there, and he and Zhao Yanbing concentrated on taking notes.
"Sir, someone from the military command had contacted me before, and it was he who showed me a way out!" Li Weiye changed his previous confession.
"Then why didn't you admit it before?"
"Sir, I have learned that when people from the military command contacted me, they asked me to strictly keep secrets. Therefore, I did not dare to reveal anything before meeting my superiors, for fear of having a bad impact on the party and the country!" Despite the actions of Deputy Chief of General Staff, Zhou Weihan and others.
Representatives of the Eighth Route Army were present, and Li Weiye's words were very cryptic, but everyone present understood that they just couldn't trust the Eighth Route Army.
"Everyone, the result is clear, but do you still have any questions?" He said and looked at everyone present.
"Now that the matter has been investigated clearly, please ask two journalist friends to report 'truthfully' after they go back!" Commissioner Wu of the Executive Yuan finally said.
After hearing this, Jin Muran said: "Sirs, don't worry, my newspaper will definitely report this matter 'truthfully'!"
Zhou Weihan witnessed the whole process. Everyone here had achieved the purpose of the trip, and it can be said that everyone was happy.
But Zhou Weihan really had a sense of absurdity, rather like the officials in Xingye movies interrogating prisoners in a serious way. The Eighth Route Army cooperated wholeheartedly, just to go through a formality.
...
The headquarters of Chongqing Military Command.
After Zheng Yaoxian returned from Tainan, he directly returned to the military command headquarters to report.
When Mao Qiwu came out of the rest room in the office, his assistant had already filled a basin of hot water and placed it on the basin stand.
"Director Mao, towel!"
Mao Qiwu took the wet and hot towel, folded it up, and then applied it to his face.
A burst of hot air warmed his face, and Mao Qiwu let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, his personal assistant knocked on the door and said, "Director, Mr. Jin is back and waiting for you outside the office!"
"Quick, please come in!" Mao Qiwu took off the towel and stood up.
Zheng Yao pushed the door open first, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Hello, Director Mao!"
"Hey, you old man, you still do this to me!" Mao Qiwu laughed and scolded.
Mao Qiwu is the chief secretary of the Military Command Bureau and Dai Chunfeng's right-hand assistant. Dai Chunfeng controls the affairs of the military command through him. This is why Zheng Yaoxian found Mao Qiwu first after returning.
"Tainan's affairs were handled very well. Boss Dai greatly appreciated you after receiving the telegram!"
"It's all up to Boss Dai and Director Mao to strategize behind the scenes. I just showed up and worked hard to get things going!"
"You, the sixth child, are still so humble and cautious. Come on, come with me to meet Boss Dai!" Mao Qiwu took Zheng Yaoxian's hand affectionately.
The two went downstairs, walked along a path for a hundred meters, and came to a two-story building.
"Is the director here?" Mao Qiwu asked the guard in front of the building.
"Reporting to Director Mao, the bureau chief has just come upstairs!"
Mao Qiwu nodded and strode into the small building, followed closely by Zheng Yaoxian.
At this time, Dai Chunfeng was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea, holding a newspaper in his hand.
The content in the newspaper was exactly the results announced by the joint investigation team on the riot by the prisoners of the 97th Army. Dai Chunfeng was obviously very satisfied.
"Hey, Lao Liu is here, I guess you should be here too!" Dai Chunfeng said with a smile.
Zheng Yaoxian's trip not only allowed Li Weiye to confirm within the National Government that the prisoner uprising was planned by the military commander, but also cleared the grievances of the military commander in the newspapers.
The fish and the bear's paw are all right, the benefits are obtained, and the reputation is not bad, how can Dai Chunfeng be unhappy.
"boss!"
"Lao Liu, you did a great job on your trip to Tainan this time. Things are so messed up that the Central Commander-in-Chief has nowhere to look for trouble even if he wants to!"
"It's all because of the boss's arrangements behind the scenes, how dare I take credit?" Zheng Yaoxian bowed and said.
Zheng Yaoxian then reported the detailed process.
"I have to say that you, Lao Liu, made this move very well and Zhao Yanbing chose the chess piece well. I didn't expect that your Lao Liu's hands would have unexpected consequences!" Dai Chunfeng praised.
Before heading to Tainan, Dai Chunfeng asked Zheng Yaoxian which capable general he wanted to bring. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yaoxian chose Zhao Yanbing, a little-known newcomer to the military.
Zheng Yaoxian said at the time that even if the Eighth Route Army did not find out the hidden identities of the two military commanders, it would be difficult for Zhao Yanbing, a young man, not to be exposed when he entered the territory of the Eighth Route Army.
Zhao Yanbing's role was to alert the Eighth Route Army to the fact that Juntong sent people to hide in the investigation team, so that the Eighth Route Army, combined with external rumors, could infer that the purpose of Juntong's trip was to establish that the prisoner riot was the work of Juntong.
With both the Nationalist Government and the Eighth Route Army eager to negotiate, they would not want the investigation team to cause too many troubles. As long as it did not affect their own interests, the Eighth Route Army would go along with the situation and implement the matter.
"You, Lao Liu, have a good ability to discern people's hearts. You didn't take action yourself, but instead used your opponent to accomplish this!"
"Boss, there are also experts in the Eighth Route Army. If they are mediocre, all this is just playing the piano to others, and in the end I have to do it myself!" Zheng Yaoxian said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How to deal with Li Weiye?" Dai Chunfeng asked.
"Li Weiye jumped out of Liang Xiucheng. He actually dared to make his own decisions and sabotage the negotiations between the two parties. After he is released, Tainan's brotherhood will secretly punish him!"
Zheng Yaoxian knew that Dai Chunfeng would definitely not leave this person alive, so he took the first step to deal with it.
"Ah, very good!"
"The commissioner is very dissatisfied with the counterinsurgency in Tainan. When I went to report before, I actually said that our army became blind in Tainan!" Dai Chunfeng's face sank, and then continued: "It can be seen that the commissioner is not satisfied with the fight against the rebellion in Tainan.
We are extremely dissatisfied with the work of our department in Tainan."
"At the same time, Lu Zhonglin, Sun Dianying, and Pang Bingxun were all self-reliant. In order to preserve their strength in the Tainan battle, they were afraid to move forward. The ministries in the first theater moved slowly, and the ministries and commissions of the 97th Army were furious about this."
"The commission ordered me to organize manpower to conduct investigations and rectifications within the first theater. I would like to recommend you to the commission as the deputy director of the political training department of the first theater, and also let you serve as the director of Luoyang Station. What do you think?"
Zheng Yaoxian was confused by Dai Chunfeng's words. As the head of Luoyang Station, it was certainly good to be sent to another place. Luoyang was the military and political center of the First War Zone.
Correspondingly, Luoyang Station governs northern Henan, southern Shanxi, and even has influence radiating to the south. Although it is not as good as Shanghai, Beiping, and Taiyuan stations, it is still one of the few major stations.
But making him the deputy director of the Political Training Department of the First War Zone is tantamount to putting him on the fire. The job of the Political Training Department is to monitor the troops, and to put it bluntly, he is still a spy.
But the soldiers in the army carry guns, and they can really kill people if they get anxious.
The personnel dispatched by the military command to various ministries of the national army are mainly concentrated in the political training department and the intelligence and confidential departments. disciplinary violations such as corruption and smuggling do not fall under the jurisdiction of the military command.
Dai Li has long coveted the power to govern within the military. Now Chiang Kai-shek is relieved. He must step in wherever he can gain advantage. The hundreds of thousands of people under the military command must have money to support them.
"Boss, with my qualifications, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for the position of deputy director of the Political Training Department of the First War Zone!" Zheng Yaoxian took the initiative to decline.
"Hey, you are so humble again. How dare you compete with the Japanese in a battle of wits and courage? At this time, we need you to rectify military discipline for the party and the country, so why are you retreating instead?
As an old man who worked in the Secret Service, you are the most suitable person now. You can rest assured that you have the committee and me as your backing!" Dai Chunfeng said in a serious manner, pretending to be angry.
...
After coming out of Dai Chunfeng's residence.
Mao Qiwu first said congratulations to Zheng Yaoxian: "Lao Liu, congratulations, this is a very lucrative job! Don't forget me, brother, when good things come!"
"Director Mao, the job of the Political Training Department is not easy!" Zheng Yaoxian complained.
"With your sixth intelligence, it's impossible that you don't know Boss Dai's intention of sending you there. Our military family has a great cause, so you have to work hard!" Mao Qiwu patted Zheng Yaoxian on the shoulder and said.
Zheng Yaoxian secretly thought to himself that it is not difficult to turn a blind eye to military discipline, and it is not difficult to make money for the military commander, but he is afraid that if he is a pioneer for the king and waits for the position to lay the foundation, someone will come to pick peaches, and he will end up being a scapegoat.
Lamb.
When it comes to handling disciplinary issues within the Chinese military, it is quite complicated.
Logically speaking, this matter should be under the control of the gendarmerie. However, considering the many factions within the national army and the conflicts between the central faction and local powerful factions, it is difficult for the gendarmerie belonging to the central faction to interfere in the internal affairs of the military.
In addition, the military police are under the jurisdiction of the military police headquarters, and they appear independently as regiments rather than attached to various units, so it is difficult to investigate and deal with disciplinary violations in each unit.
What is actually assigned to each unit is the Political Training Department of the Military Command, and each unit has its own Military Justice Department.
Therefore, each law enforcement agency has jurisdiction over disciplinary issues, but due to factional issues, they restrain each other, creating a situation where no one can control them. In the end, no one can investigate and deal with disciplinary issues in the military.
