readx; "Although the 18th garrison regiment in Shanghai has been stationed in the economic development zone, the strike has spread very quickly, and now it has begun to affect the entire Shanghai economic development zone enterprises, the number of strikes has reached tens of thousands, and has begun to affect Fule Electric and some employees of Shanghai Railway Branch have also participated in the strike, which has affected Shanghai's power supply and smooth traffic!" Ma Cheng, chief of staff, explained the situation to Chen Jingyun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The military considered that if the political axe could not control the situation and let the strike continue, it might cut off Shanghai's transportation, water and electricity supplies, and then a large-scale riot would break out.

So when the intelligence department and the political axe department are doing the relevant work, the military is also moving very quickly.

"However, the strength of the 18th Garrison Regiment in Shanghai is limited, and it is already powerless to maintain the security and order in Shanghai! So now it was time to transfer the 17th Division of Wusong and the 21st Division of Kunshan into the downtown area of Shanghai. ”

At present, the Chinese Army is divided into two categories, one is the field troops, that is, these infantry divisions numbered from the first to the fifty-ninth division, as well as motorized infantry divisions, four major cavalry divisions and three armored divisions, in addition to numerous artillery brigades. And these forces are the main forces of China's internal and external warfare. However, in addition to these field troops, the army also has a large number of garrison units, which are deployed in major cities and counties, and their main role is to maintain local law and order, and they cannot take on the task of engaging the enemy.

Even last year, when the situation was critical, due to the shortage of field troops, the army dispatched a part of the garrison units in relatively good condition to the Northeast Theater and Outer Mongolia.

Although the strike has not yet reached the stage of violent clashes, due to the large scale of the strike and the size of Shanghai, the garrison in Shanghai also has to protect other important areas from being disrupted by the wave of strikes, so that the local garrison will not be able to have enough troops.

Chen Jingyun was not silent for too long, and after thinking about it, he said: "The situation in Shanghai is tense, and it is not enough to rely on an eighteenth garrison regiment alone, so let the troops of Wusong and Kunshan enter the downtown area of Shanghai. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun said: "In order to try not to affect the whole of Shanghai this time, and not to affect the relevant negotiations on the resumption of the Shanghai concession, you should pay more attention to what you do this time, and not let the strike wave in the development zone spread to the concession!" ”

The wave of strikes has not only affected the local security and order and the economy, but has also had a devastating impact on the ongoing concession negotiations.

After reunification, China has recovered most of its territory and concessions through diplomatic negotiations and the declaration of war on Germany, the declaration of war on Russia, and the war against Russia. However, even if Lushun and Taiwan were recovered, the Shanghai Concession still could not be recovered.

The great powers' attachment to the Shanghai Concession far exceeded Chen Jingyun's imagination, especially the British have always opposed the return of the Shanghai Concession to China, and the reason is that Shanghai has a large number of foreign nationals, and Shanghai is no longer simply a Chinese city, but a city with a world surname. In order to ensure the safety of the assets of these foreign nationals and foreign-funded enterprises, the political axes of various countries are unwilling to directly return the Shanghai concession to China in advance.

There has been little progress in the relevant negotiations, and after the war with China, Russia and the Soviet Union last year, China once again proved its strength to the world powers with its victory in the war. Chen Jingyun used shells and bullets to tell the world that China is no longer the backward China that can be bullied by others in the past 100 years.

The status of a country in these years is so simple and straightforward, as long as you win the war, you will naturally be able to achieve a matching international status. Otherwise, before World War I, the Americans' industry would have surpassed that of Britain, France, Germany and other countries, but why was it still just a second-rate country with serious world powers, because the Americans at that time had not really fought a major war that could prove their strength.

The two world wars were fought and the United States demonstrated its incomparably strong war capabilities to the world, which achieved the status of the world's leader.

After China won the war, Britain and France also began to further examine their diplomatic relations with China, and this was the time when they loosened their mouths on the Shanghai Concession.

If this wave of strikes spreads to the whole of Shanghai and threatens the lives and property of those foreign nationals in the concession, Britain will certainly not let China take back the Shanghai Concession if it uses this excuse to say that China is incapable of protecting the lives and property of foreign nationals.

Concession negotiations are a big deal, and we must not let the strike affect them! ”

On April 8, three days after the Shanghai strike, two field divisions of the army began to station in Shanghai, and that night, the Shanghai Garrison Command issued a blockade order to block all the economic development zones, and the 17th Division was responsible for the blockade.

Before the 17th Division arrived in Shanghai, the whole division received the news that the group of Kuomintang people in Shanghai was preparing to rebel, and they were going to suppress the rebellion this time. Therefore, the 17th Division did not use any gentle means this time, but went into battle with loaded guns and ammunition, and even the machine gun fortress was repaired overnight.

On April 9, the number of striking workers in the economic development zone had exceeded 50,000, and at this time, the slogan of the strike was also from the beginning of the demand for wage increases, demand for shorter working hours, and slowly changed the surname, and the Kuomintang people lurking among the workers began to turn the workers' anger to the Kuomintang and Chen Jingyun, and slogans such as "oppose the National Socialist Party, oppose Chen Jingyun" appeared.

Zha Linxiang, commander of the 17th Division, looked at the slogans held by the workers with a telescope, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, a group of guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead actually scold the party and the state, and dare to scold the president." It's crooked! ”

Zha Linxiang was a serious Kuomintang general, and in his consciousness, only the Kuomintang Socialists, and only himself, the best few people in the Chinese nation, could save China. And Chen Jingyun is the leader who leads their small group. And the others are all fools and fools, it doesn't matter if they don't stay well, they still like to make trouble so much, if it weren't for the strict orders from above to restrain them, he Zha Linxiang would have ordered to fire a long time ago.

He promised that if he was given an hour he would be able to disperse the crowd gathered around the square of the development zone, and that he would be able to put down the strike once and for all.

But he didn't have an order to fire, so he had to wait first, set up the machine gun, load the bullets, and as long as he gave the order, he would not hesitate to give the order to fire.

The confrontation between the military and the workers in Shanghai coincided with the outbreak of large-scale strikes in several other industrial cities in China, and these strikes took place at these points, apparently by the Kuomintang group.

On 9 April, the official mouthpiece of the Kuomintang Socialist Party, the party newspaper "National Yue Bao," published a real-name article by Zhao Biqiu, director of the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Socialist Party, in which he said that in the near future, a small group of lawless elements have tried in vain to use the masses who do not know the truth to create chaos, and in vain to prevent the great cause of the Kuomintang Party's rejuvenation in China, and in vain to overthrow Chen Jingyun, the sole leader of the Chinese. I hope that the masses will see the true face of these traitors and not be blinded by lies.

At the same time, apart from a small number of news about the general strike in the National Socialist Party newspaper, there is no longer a single newspaper in the country that has published news about the strike.

The Socialist Party's press control has always been strict and efficient, and although the intelligence services have not been able to prevent the general strike, the propaganda department has been able to prevent the news of the strike from spreading. In these days, the public can only understand what is happening outside through the newspaper, as long as the source of the newspaper is controlled, it is relatively simple to basically control public opinion.

This has also created a situation in which at least 10 cities in China have launched strikes, and not only the local garrison troops have participated in the alert, but even the army's field troops have mobilized more than a dozen divisions. However, the outside world does not know about this, and people in Shanghai may know that there is a strike in Shanghai's development zone, but they generally do not know that there is also a strike in Wuhu, which is not far away, and people in Wuhu know that there is a strike in Wuhu, but they will not know that Shanghai has become a mess.

After the control of the telegraph and the newspaper, Chen Jingyun has effectively organized the strike to have a greater impact, and while controlling the impact of the situation, he is also starting to solve the problem.

When relevant negotiations were held with the representatives of the workers in various cities but they could not be allowed to disperse on their own initiative, Chen Jingyun signed his name on the battle order with a gloomy face!

On April 11, six days after the strike broke out in Shanghai, workers from companies such as Fule Electric Railway also participated, causing major problems in Shanghai's railway transportation and local water and electricity supply. On the morning of this day, Zha Linxiang of the 17th Division received an operational order from the State Military Commission and personally signed by Chen Jingyun, chairman of the State Military Commission, ordering the 17th Division to quell the local strike tide as soon as possible, disperse the crowd, and arrest the leader.

Zha Linxiang looked at the combat orders in his hand, and looked at the strike workers outside who were still loudly scolding Chen Jingyun for being a great reader. After taking a few deep breaths, he said to the adjutant beside him: "Broadcast to those people and order them to disperse within half an hour, and after half an hour we will open fire to disperse the crowd!" ”

After saying this, Zha Linxiang thought of the private telegram sent to him by Ma Cheng saying that he should keep a low profile, and he couldn't make the suppression too bright and compete for hegemony, so he said: "Strengthen the blockade from the development zone to the downtown area of Shanghai, and flies can't let him go!" ”

When Chen Jingyun, Hong Zitai and others set up the economic development zone, the initial purpose was only to concentrate a local factory concentration area in order to provide better infrastructure, such as transportation and electricity. But this way of bringing the factories together makes the workers' strikes spread very quickly, and there is a more brutal place. That is still as long as there is a strike inside and the army blocks the development zone, then the army is afraid that the striking workers inside will be killed, and the people outside will not know.

The soldiers of the 17th Division began to shout to disperse the crowd on the opposite side within half an hour, but those who marched were willing to throw down the soldiers with stones, or simply ram the soldiers' interception line.

Seeing the passage of time bit by bit, a soldier holding a rifle was also apprehensive in his heart, he knew that these were not soldiers from an enemy country, but a 'rebel' in his own country, a group of rebels who could only curse but did not even have weapons, and he did not know whether it was right or wrong to shoot at them. But after the commander above gave the order to open fire, the soldier's duty to obey the order made him choose to close his eyes, and then pulled the trigger!

The gunshot rang out instantly, the bullet slashed through the air, and then burrowed into the body and knocked the person to the ground, the warm blood began to soak the ground, accompanied by the gunshot, screams, and moans!
