Chapter 186 Cooperation between the two bureaus
From late September to October, a series of robberies occurred in China, and many banks, money shops and even jewelry stores were robbed. The intensity of the robberies was unprecedented and unprecedented at the time.
The details of these robbery crimes are recorded in the police files. From south to north, many banks were robbed by people holding pistols, short guns or machine guns, and they happened almost every day. During that period, the windows in jewelry stores were broken and precious jewelry were stolen, which became very common. The local police, facing the shaking and bleeding jewelers and clerks, had not had time to deal with it, and one wave was not settled, and another wave of up, another similar case occurred in their jurisdiction, and they were asked to leave.
In the first few days of the end of October, the situation became more and more serious. Bankers and money owners raised strong criticism to the government for the robbery. For this reason, the police increased the number of inspections at night, but it was useless. Since these robbers were not thieves who specialized in stealing, nor were those who secretly pried open the bank vault in the middle of the night, but a group of thugs who appeared with guns and wearing masks. As long as they angered them a little, they were ready to shoot.
The most dangerous time is during the day. Any bank or money house across the country may suddenly see two or three masked men holding weapons breaking into the door and shouting:
"Raise your hands!"
Then a robbery will occur, not only in large and medium-sized cities, but even in Beijing. What causes this series of robberies? In this regard, both bankers and money owners do not care about it, they are more concerned about the safety of their personal property. After many protests, facing the helplessness of local police, after local requests, the Presidential Office agreed, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs signed an order, and the internal affairs forces were transferred into the city to maintain public order.
The Internal Affairs Force, a public security force that has just been established for a year, is an anti-violence force familiar to every Chinese. For the first time, it was armed with a submachine gun and began to perform services in various medium and large scale. Those who went to the bank must first be inspected by one or two internal affairs soldiers in black uniforms in the lobby. Each soldier is equipped with a bullet-loaded submachine gun to protect the bank and the money house from robbery.
After a month, people have become accustomed to this. After all, this is unprecedented chaos in public security, and the internal affairs forces enter the city to maintain it.
At the end of October, three robbers were injured and arrested in different gun robberies. However, no matter how harsh the interrogation of the police station was, none of the three could tell why the wave of robberies swept across the country so suddenly. They only confessed that they were instructed by the head of their group to rob a certain bank and a certain bank. The police finally believed that the prisoners did not know the purpose of the robbery. They were just ordered to rob, and they were small people who were sitting on the ground to share the spoils.
Not long after, the agents of the Central Police Agency determined one thing - the people behind this sudden wave of robbery were in urgent need of money for some reason. It was not until early November that the authorities discovered these situations in a completely different way.
In late September, the wave of ransacking banks and other places where money can be quickly seized was quite serious. Therefore, the Office of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Central Police Bureau took over such cases. In an extremely small but busy office in Beijing, a chart on the wall indicated the amount of cash robbed and the estimated price of the pawn shop. By the end of October, the total was far more than 2 million yuan silver coupons and 400,000 silver dollars. According to the commissioner's estimate, even if an appropriate amount was deducted as the expenses required for the robbery, plus the remuneration paid to the robbers who carried out the robbers, a considerable amount of money would be left.
Then, a report was placed on the desk of the Director of the State Security Administration. This report was made by the State Security Administration after analyzing the wave of robbery, and the content of the report was extremely simple.
"Revolutionary Party?"
Looking at Wei Zidong with confusion, Li Siqin did not expect that the intelligence analysts of the Security Bureau would believe that this series of robberies was the revolutionary party raising funds for the armed rebellion.
"Who else can plan this series of robberies besides the Revolutionary Party? And it's all over the country!"
Looking at Li Siqin, this former "partner", Wei Zidong said softly:
"I'm afraid they are the only ones!"
"oh……"
After responding, Li Siqin pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Perhaps others don’t know how the robbery happened, but as the “behind the scenes” he knew very well how this happened. He planned all this. In addition to raising funds for the military reform, the more important thing is to get the internal affairs troops into the city. To be precise, it is to transfer the internal affairs troops to large and medium-sized cities in various provinces. However, the internal affairs troops must be mobilized by multiple orders from the Presidential Office, the State Council and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. To achieve the goal, the easiest way is to chaos in public security.
And how to create chaos?
Like the president back then, it was impossible to instigate military chaos. Moreover, what needs to be mobilized is the internal affairs force rather than the army. If military chaos is planned and civil unrest will only make the garrisons in various places vigilant. This is not only not conducive to the launch of military changes, but may even lead to the failure of military changes. Only with appropriate public security chaos can the internal affairs force be mobilized to maintain public security.
The public security chaos cannot be targeted by civilians, and officials will not care about the feelings of civilians, but those banks and money banks are different. The influence of the bank and money banks is far beyond the imagination of the outside world. Robbing banks and money banks can not only obtain the funds needed to launch military reforms, but most importantly, it can present a public security chaos, so as to achieve the purpose of mobilizing the internal forces.
The fundamental reason why the central government will eventually use the internal affairs troops to maintain public order is that the generals of each province will never send the remaining troops on the streets to maintain public order. Their selfishness has just made the situation where the internal affairs troops control important places across the country overnight.
But at this time, the Security Bureau put the hat on the Revolutionary Party. If someone usually takes this charge, it would be a good thing, but if the Security Bureau makes this guess, will localities be more vigilant?
"There is no precedent!"
After giving up a light voice, Li Siqin added.
"Even if the Revolutionary Party raises funds for the rebellion, the movement is too great. With the revolutionary Party's foundation among the people, if you want to launch the whole country, I'm afraid..."
"It is impossible to attack the whole country!"
Wei Zidong looked at every change in Li Siqin's face, with a cunning look. The Secret Service now scattered across the country's intelligence network. He would not believe it even if he was killed. The reason why he invited Li Siqin to come today was that he wanted to find some information from him. The General Security Bureau was established since the Prime Minister was attacked, but until now, he has not handled a "willing attention" case. How could he be willing to do this?
"However, what if it is launched in a province!"
His words were not so much speculation, but rather to Li Siqin. The reason for saying this is because Wei Zidong believes that the Secret Service has cards that he doesn't know, maybe. They have already mastered any information.
Shaking his head, Li Siqin's right middle finger tapped his knees from time to time, as if he was thinking.
"Director Li, what province do you think you will be in?"
Li Siqin's only answer was to shake his head, indicating that he knew nothing. In fact, even if he knew, his answer was the same. Now, caution was the best. In an instant, a thought came to his mind: Could this be Wei Zidong's detective... Wei Zidong has never been the confidant of the young master, and he was even a little rebellious, otherwise he would not have treated him as a victim back then...
"General Wei. I can't think of it."
Li Siqin's words disappointed Wei Zidong. He knew that Li Siqin was afraid that he was a little resentful to him, but...
"It's so, it's a coincidence that everything that happened now is happening,"
Staring at Li Siqin, Wei Zidong said slowly.
The voice paused slightly.
"The State Security Bureau has grasped some clues at present. So, I hope... the State Security Bureau can communicate with the Secret Service to communicate information so that accidents will not occur and not be taken advantage of by the rioters!"
Wei Zidong's suggestion surprised Li Siqin, so he had to frown and pretend to be thinking hard.
But Wei Zidong knew his expression very well!
Li Siqin in front of him may be young, but in terms of skills, he is no less than others. Although he was just a deputy minister and was extremely chronological, Wei Zidong suffered a lot in the security department. In the end, the division of the security department of the company was not so inevitable that the husband took office as prime minister, but rather that it was caused by the two of them doing their own affairs. Now, is it possible to talk about cooperation?
"General Wei, things like robbery are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. The General Police Department has a better way to do this than the Secret Service..."
Li Siqin's answer made Wei Zidong's heart slightly angry and almost jumped out of his chest. What a Li Siqin, is he really afraid of his contribution?
"...You know, Director Li, these public security incidents are happening one after another."
After pausing for a while, Wei Zidong tried his best to dress himself up as he was worried about the country and the people to cooperate with his position as Minister of Internal Affairs.
"So, I think we should now abandon the contradictions of the past and work together to calm the people's hearts, to be at peace with the people's hearts, and to be at peace with the state affairs..."
When he spoke, Wei Zidong looked at Li Siqin with a breath of tranquility. The fundamental reason why he was so mortified and asked Li Siqin to help him was because of these chaos, which now threatened his position as Minister of Internal Affairs and was now a robbery. If a revolutionary rebellion occurs, he may not be able to do this position.
For Wei Zidong, who is obsessed with the officialdom, this is definitely not something he can accept, so he wanted to cooperate with the Secret Service and take advantage of the Secret Service to grasp the revolutionary rebellion in advance.
"State affairs are safe!"
His eyebrows suddenly beat, but Li Siqin sneered in his heart. When did Wei Zidong put state affairs first? If it weren't for his selfish intentions when he was in the Security Department, how could he have... He sneered in his heart, but he wanted to hear what Wei Zidong said next.
"Okay, Director Li. You don't have to pretend to be confused. I know you have many agents in the revolutionary party. If we cooperate with both of us, we might be able to stop the rebellion in a moment with our power."
However, Li Siqin, who had no expression on Wei Zidong's confession, still did not express his opinion. However, he knew that he had to break the silence in the end. After thinking for a long time, Li Siqin broke the silence and then spoke word by word:
"At present, with the Secret Service's understanding of the Revolutionary Party, it has never been willing to fail politically. This is a tough opponent after all, but it is hard for me to imagine that they will launch an armed rebellion now. Especially in the current situation, the current situation is extremely stable, the possibility of launching an armed rebellion is very slim."
Wei Zidong, who listened to Li Siqin's answer with caution, was slightly stunned, and then he said with a stern look:
"So, what if the President dies of illness!"
The President passed away!
Suddenly, what channel did he know? The physical condition report he received this morning will never leak, even the Prime Minister will not... But what channel did Wei Zidong know? No, the president has not died yet, he is just seriously ill, yes... he is just seriously ill!
After calming down, Li Siqin stared at Wei Zidong with his eyes and looked at him for a while. Then, he said slowly:
"General Wei, you have to know what impact your words will have on the State Council if they are spreading!"
Staring at Wei Zidong, Li Siqin's voice was slightly chilling.
"But I don't know what I am about to say. I hope you can understand that some words are not what we should say. They are not what we can say..."
Wei Zidong smiled at Li Siqin's warning.
"Listen to me, A Si,"
At this moment, Wei Zidong changed his name to a very close one, but he did not notice that Li Siqin brows slightly when he heard this title. He just continued to say it.
"Since last year, when the Prime Minister and the President cooperated to send expedition forces abroad, the central and provincial armies formed an expedition force to fight. Although the Central Army occupied the majority, the local provincial armies had limited troops after all. In just one year, the provincial army was almost empty. In the past, there was at least one division in one province, but now, except for Manchuria, there were several provincial armies in several provinces that had no empty dispatch, which was Yunnan. The remaining troops now were only one brigade. There were only one province like Guangdong and Fujian, one province, at least one regiment, and at most two regiments. The number of troops in the southern provinces was empty, but it was unprecedented."
Li Siqin pursed his lips and blurted out.
"You mean the Revolutionary Party may take the opportunity to launch a rebellion?"
After the sound came to an end, Li Siqin frowned again:
"But, aren't there any internal forces in each province? And there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the north. If they launch a rebellion, it would be too risky!"
"When Wuchang was in the forefront of the reign of the Qing Dynasty, there were not a million troops. What is the situation of those revolutionary parties now? They are rebellious parties. It is better to fight desperately than to be with robbers!"
He paused dramatically and looked at Li Siqin with a convincing expression.
"If this blow succeeds, they will make a lot of money!"
Then Wei Zidong said,
"Of course, even if they fail to get a blow, that's nothing. After all, they have nothing to lose now. Even if they don't rebel, aren't they also going into exile abroad?"
Nodded, Li Siqin didn't say anything, but he suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity to shift the attention of the Military Law Enforcement Department and the Security Bureau to other places, so that the actions may be smoother by then.
"The revolutionary party is a gambler who has lost all his family's fortunes, and it's nothing more than a fight."
He sighed, and Wei Zidong seemed to have a look of savage on his face.
"It's good to fight this, but I don't know how many people will die, and how many people will die because of their ambitions. So, I want to stop them before they rebelled, but where they rebelled and who were involved, I don't have this situation now, and whether the State Council will believe me at the Presidential Office or the State Council will believe me, this is all a problem..."
Frowning and hearing Wei Zidong say this, Li Siqin vaguely understood what he meant. He not only wanted the Secret Service and the General Security Bureau to cooperate, but more importantly, he wanted to use the Secret Service to the State Council, to be precise, he wanted to use the influence on the young master, so... thinking in his heart, Li Siqin's brows frowned.
"I know what you mean,"
Li Siqin raised his head and looked at Wei Zidong. He said in a serious tone.
"But all this is just speculation. If the Secret Service intervenes in it, then... it will be the reputation that the Secret Service has finally established!"
Facing Li Siqin's answer, Wei Zidong raised his hand and said:
"But if it succeeds, then you and I are both heroes of the country. Do you know what I have thought of? Now is the time when the country needs stability the most. If the revolutionary party launches a rebellion, then the generals of each province will be in the name of preventing rebellion and then expanding their army. At that time, the Prime Minister's efforts will be in vain. Such a situation is not something you and I want to face, nor is it what the Prime Minister is willing to see."
Sitting quietly on the sofa, Li Siqin sat there without saying a word. Seeing that he still didn't respond, Wei Zidong continued:
"At that time, the Prime Minister's efforts will be wasted. Maybe, in the future, there may be a civil war or something. I'm afraid there will be countless casualties and injuries!"
Li Siqin, who was still silent, raised his eyes slightly and looked at the chandelier on the ceiling. They didn't know at all, nor did they know what was behind all this. After thinking for a while, he nodded as if he was hesitant.
"All right……"
