Chapter 276 The Director Wants People’s Hearts
The next morning, Niu Saner went to the Lin residence to pick up Lin Ze for work.
As soon as Lin Ze got into the car, Niu Saner reported: "Master, the cake has been delivered."
Lin Ze had just finished breakfast. Maybe because he ate too much carbohydrates, he felt a little sleepy. He nodded and said nothing.
In order to fulfill Lin Ze's casual request, Niu Saner drove Lin Ze home last night and then drove directly to the Six Nations Hotel to find Delmo.
Then he asked Delmo to call the pastry chef and personally decided on several styles of cakes, including two with the most and most special patterns, which were of course for Yamaguchi Matsue.
Niu Saner stayed at the Liuguo Hotel that night. When the cake was freshly baked in the morning, he drove slowly all the way to Shankou's home in Yueya Hutong.
In the morning, when Natsuko Yamaguchi looked at the cake in the living room, her mind was full of Lin Ze!
Lin Jun... No! My brother-in-law is great!
Of course, Niu Saner would not report all these things to Lin Ze in detail.
Those in power only want results and often don't care much about the process unless it is necessary.
When they arrived at the police station, Niu Saner got out of the car and opened the door for Lin Ze. Lin Ze walked inside and people greeted him from time to time.
"Director!"
"Hello, Director!"
"Morning, Director!"
"You're on the early shift!"
There was not much expression on Lin Ze's face, but he nodded slightly in response.
Only when I met Su Hongcai at the stairs did I stop to listen to his report.
Now, Deputy Director Su Hongcai waits at the stairs almost every morning. This not only shows respect, but also allows him to take the opportunity to report some things.
It’s just like some people in later generations who hang around the elevator door all day waiting for their leader.
For some people, this kind of "chance encounter" is an embarrassing nightmare of stubbing their toes, but for others, it is an important opportunity that may change their destiny.
"Director, I have something to report to you. A restaurant owner came to me to report that because of some inspection, no one can buy anything these days and they can't open their business. I want to ask if this month's regulations can be... Of course, your share will not be affected."
Lin Ze said without thinking, "Tell the brothers below that there is no salary this month."
Su Hongcai nodded, "Yes, yes, the brothers will definitely understand."
"What do you want them to understand? In a few days, when the shops of all sizes send their regular payments, I will distribute my share to them. I will also tell all the patrol stations that those shops that are unable to operate due to real difficulties can delay their business, but the regular payments to the brothers cannot be stopped. We can't let the people below starve while we are full, right? If anyone is greedy, you should teach them the truth. Do you understand?"
Su Hongcai didn't say anything stupid like "I'll also contribute my share of the money". What the director wants is people's hearts, and he can't stand out in this matter!
"Don't worry, I'll get it done."
He waved his hand to signal Lao Su that he could go back to the office, and Lin Ze also went upstairs to the office.
Niu Saner handed the briefing over, "Master, the first page is all about Yuezhong Gu Si. I cut out some news from major newspapers and pasted them on top."
Lin Ze picked it up and took a look.
Kita Seiichi acted quickly. I don't know how much money he gave to various newspapers, but they soon exposed Echnakatani Tsukasa's scandal, and even cited the revelations of several so-called insiders, portraying Echnakatani Tsukasa as despicable.
Lin Ze took a sip of tea.
When a person is morally denied, the real attack begins.
...........
Front Command.
Terauchi Hisaichi was lying on the couch, flipping through a newspaper, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Kita Seiichi sat next to him as usual, smiling, "Etsuzhong Gu Si and the others are in a mess. I heard they are eager to find the newspaper to clarify, but we have already made arrangements, and no one cares about them at all. Etsuzhong called me several times today, saying that he wanted to see you, but I made excuses to refuse."
Terauchi Hisaichi threw the newspaper aside and said, "What do you mean we have already arranged it? Echizentani Tsukasa's own wrongdoings were exposed by the righteous media. What does it have to do with us? He is so morally corrupt. As an imperial soldier and an inspector sent from the country, he not only extorts money, but also gets involved with a man who is neither male nor female. It's really shameful. He is like this, so the people behind him must not be much better, right?"
Kita Seiichi moved closer and whispered, "We have already contacted the headquarters. Once the situation here ferments back home, the spearhead will be pointed at the prime minister."
Terauchi Shouichi said in a deep voice: "This matter cannot be handled by the headquarters alone. Have you contacted Manchuria, Central China, and South China?"
Kita Seiichi said quickly, "Don't worry, we have already contacted everyone, especially the old subordinates you promoted during your tenure as Army Minister. They all agreed to your request."
Hearing this, Terauchi Hisaichi sighed, "Alas, as the saying goes, those who know me think I am worried, and those who don't know me think I am asking for nothing. Kita-kun, once these things happen, I am afraid that the world will think that I am targeting Konoe Fumimaro. In fact, when have I ever cared about my personal honor and disgrace? I am only thinking about the interests of the empire! Konoe is a weak and incompetent guy. He always says that the foundation of the empire is still too shallow and we should take it slow. Humph, he can no longer see the world clearly now! Only speed is the kingly way! Now that going south and west are blocked, why is he reluctant to agree to our northward plan? Is the giant bear in the north so scary? Didn't we take Port Arthur from them back then!"
Faced with such differences in major strategies and routes, Kita Seiichi did not dare to interrupt. He was just a spy chief, and it was not his turn to make decisions on such strategic issues that could determine the fate of the country.
Terauchi Juichi asked, "Has Odaka Kamezo left yet?"
"General, the commander of the Odaka Division has already set off and will arrive in Peking the day after tomorrow at the latest. However, General, the commander of the Odaka Division is from the Manchuria side..."
Terauchi Juichi said calmly, "I am the commander of the North China Front Army, and he is the commander of the 19th Division in Manchuria. Meeting privately will cause misunderstandings, right? Kita-kun, don't you understand now? Those old men in the country, and even the one in the palace, can only acknowledge the facts, but we are creating the facts."
Kita Seiichi was trembling a little.
The radical faction headed by Terauchi Hisaichi is too ambitious!
They hoped that after opening up the Jinpu Line, they would devote all the national strength to a super-large battle that would decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
In order to achieve this goal, they even went so far as to provoke the giant bear in the north to test their attitude.
If the Northern Giant Bear is no match for the Imperial Army, the Japanese will be able to mobilize the Manchurian army more easily to participate in the planned major battle.
If the Northern Bear proves to be a tough nut to crack, then the deployment of troops for the battle must be adjusted to prevent attacks from behind the enemy.
