1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3167
When Gong Shiqi and others were having a headache about how to find a needle in a haystack in Hangzhou, the unprecedentedly large fleet to Hangzhou had already set off from Zhoushan Dinghai Port with the senior officials of the Executive Committee on board.

The voyage from Zhoushan to Hangzhou is about [-] miles. According to the normal speed, it takes about a day.With Zhoushan as the flagship fleet, dozens of ships, large and small, stretched for more than [-] miles on the sea, and the scene was spectacular.

The Zhoushan, designed as a new generation of warships, does not have much comfort design, and the living conditions are far inferior to the two ships that Tao Donglai and others brought from Sanya, and can even be described as rudimentary.

But for the industrial party and the generals, the previous visits to Dinghai Port were not enjoyable, and there are still many design details on the ship that need to be observed and studied.

Tao Donglai, Qiao Zhiya, Yan Chujie, and Chen Yixin all chose to take this warship to Hangzhou, and by the way, they could make a more comprehensive inspection of the ship's top and bottom.

As for the living conditions on the ship, they only lived for one day and one night anyway, so it was enough to overcome this little problem.

As the founder of the Zhoushan, Shi Diwen is of course happy to see the results. By the way, he can also introduce the various designs of the ship to his colleagues in detail on the way, so as to win more support from the Executive Committee for obtaining follow-up orders for this type of warship.

However, the fleet was still in the waters of Hangzhou Bay and before entering the Qiantang River, they received a telegram from Hangzhou, saying that they had discovered the assassin team sent by the Daming factory guards and were currently arresting them.

Knowing that the opponent will use firearms in this operation, Gong Shiqi, the head of the security department in charge of the case, requested to upgrade the security and arrest measures. Dai Chengrong, the head of the second regiment of the [-]th Army Division who is handling the matter, asked in the telegram whether it is possible to take Lockdown measures.

Then a telegram from the Military Intelligence Bureau also arrived, roughly the same as Dai Chengrong's telegram, asking the Military Intelligence Bureau whether to cooperate with the Ministry of Security's actions.

"Are the guns fired? It seems that there are some people in Daming who don't want us to go to Hangzhou very much!"

Tao Donglai said meaningfully, but looked at Shi Diwen.

The East China Sea region is Shi Diwen's territory, and the move of Haihan's capital to Hangzhou is also a major project that Shi Diwen has spent several years working on.Now, with the excuse of the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the senior officials of the Executive Committee were invited to Hangzhou for an inspection from thousands of miles away, but Daming made trouble at this juncture. Isn't this giving Shi Diwen eye drops?
Shi Diwen's expression didn't change, but he just responded lightly: "It's not the first time they have caused trouble in Hangzhou. When they took Hangzhou a few years ago, they arranged for more than a dozen groups of people to assassinate me. But it failed once.”

Yan Chujie said: "The other party acts so recklessly, with your temper, you probably won't tolerate their reckless behavior, right?"

Shi Diwen sneered and said: "I had too many things to deal with at the time, and I didn't have time to deal with them. But later, a town governor died in the Fusi Yamen of Jinyiwei South Town, with several thousand households and dozens of hundreds of households. Dongchang has something to do with this The class leader and the stall head are basically all dead."

"After that fight, it finally stopped for a few years. I didn't expect it to show up again now. It seems that the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten. I don't remember the lesson from the beginning!"

Shi Diwen said it was easy, but the retaliatory measures he took at that time were very swift and violent. The two sides clashed fiercely in the underground battlefield, killing a lot of people, which almost paralyzed the organization of the Daming Factory Guard in the south of the Yangtze River, so it was silent for a long time. for a long time.

Tao Donglai said, "How do you plan to deal with the situation mentioned in the telegram?"

Shi Diwen thought for a moment before answering: "If you believe in me and the security forces in Hangzhou, you will still follow the original itinerary."

"As for the closure of the city to arrest people, I don't think that's necessary. The news of the Executive Committee's inspection of Hangzhou has been announced, and the local people have also prepared a grand welcome ceremony. If we make temporary changes, it will inevitably affect people's confidence in us."

"Ji Yuanqing, come here."

Ji Yuanqing hurried forward and bowed his head to wait for the order.

Shi Diwen said: "The Ministry of Security believes that the situation is critical, and the existing security measures are no longer sufficient. Can the Military Intelligence Bureau help the Ministry of Security to handle the current situation properly?"

Ji Yuanqing replied: "Your Excellency has an order, and all members of the Military Intelligence Bureau will do their best to complete the task. The humble officer will immediately call back Hangzhou and mobilize all the forces of the Military Intelligence Bureau to participate in the operation, so as to arrest all the prisoners as soon as possible."

Shi Diwen shook his head and said, "That's not enough, what I want is to be safe! I don't want someone hiding in the dark to aim at us when we enter the city tomorrow."

Ji Yuanqing bowed his head even lower: "If there is any mistake tomorrow, I will come and see you in advance!"

Shi Diwen's attitude is very clear, that is, he will not make any concessions, will not modify the original itinerary, and will not adopt the Ministry of Security's proposal to close the city.

Of course, doing so will inevitably face certain risks, but apart from Tao Donglai, Yan Chujie, Chen Yixin, and Qiao Zhiya are all from the army and are used to killing on the battlefield. Confirmed threat.

Soon everyone reached a consensus that regardless of whether Hangzhou can catch the assassin immediately, tomorrow's city entry activities will still be carried out according to the original plan.

However, Ning Qi, Schneider, and Yuan Qiuye were not on the Zhoushan at this time, so it seemed a little unreasonable to ignore their opinions.

Fortunately, there are radio equipment on both ships, so it is convenient to communicate. Shi Diwen immediately ordered someone to send the news to ask the other three people for their opinions.If they feel that the risk is too great, they can not participate in tomorrow's public activities, and the troops will escort them directly to the place where they will stay.

Everyone in Hangzhou finally waited for the call back from the executive committee. It was less than an hour since the telegram was sent, and the reply speed was quite fast.

"Has the executive committee approved the closure of the city?" Dai Chengrong asked anxiously.

After sending out the telegram asking for instructions, he had sent an order to return to the camp, ordering the troops to assemble and stand by. As soon as the executive committee's order arrived, the troops could immediately march into the city.

And this is also the issue that everyone present is most concerned about. Once the city is closed, it means that Hangzhou City will immediately return to the long-lost state of military control, and the highest level of martial law will be enforced, and each government office will have to perform its duties. Make sure that there will be no chaos in the city.

Gong Shiqi read the content of the telegram with a serious face, then looked up at everyone, and said in a heavy tone: "Everyone, the executive committee rejected the plan to close the city and the proposal to change the itinerary, and asked us to go to the city tomorrow. Before that, be sure to remove all potential safety hazards."
