Chen Cai was surprised by the development of Cen Chunxuan's corruption incident, his original intention was only to pull Cen Chunxuan down, but he did not want the entire cabinet to be seriously questioned by the people and cause a crisis of confidence in the cabinet.

Chen Jingyun was even more angry about this incident, and after scolding Chen Cai again, he strictly ordered Zhao Biqiu of the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang to do a good job in propaganda work, thoroughly implement the work of news control, and be sure to organize the negative news of the cabinet to appear again in the news newspapers. On the other hand, he asked Han Chenxu to quickly come up with the results of the investigation to calm the doubts of the people, it does not matter what the real result is, the important thing is that the result must be able to calm the doubts of the people, so the Ministry of Supervision came up with the results of the investigation that satisfied Chen Jingyun, that is, the letters with Feng Guozhang were forged, and it was not Cen Chunxuan himself who accepted the bribe, but one of his relatives, in short, Cen Chunxuan could not be allowed to go north to be charged with bribery, this is not for Cen Chunxuan, but for the positive image of the political axe. Because saving Cen Chunxuan's political image now is to save the image of the cabinet.

When the Ministry of Supervision made public the results of the investigation, Cen Chunxuan announced his reinstatement, although there are still many people who doubt, but because the Propaganda Department has implemented strict news control, these doubts have not appeared in the public eye. In recent years, due to the limited information channels, it is relatively difficult for the people to know about current affairs, and most of the things they want to know about can only be learned from newspapers and other public publications, so when the Propaganda Department implemented strict news control on this matter, the people gradually forgot about this matter after they had no way to understand it.

In fact, the vast majority of the people don't care about the so-called politics, and the reason why Cen Chunxuan's corruption incident caused such a big response at the beginning is that people regard this as a lively view, and the only ones who are really angry are those young students, especially those young people who have been influenced by words such as power and nationalism in recent years.

After the crisis was subdued, the political storm was stopped within the political axe, and the political battle between Chen Cai of the Investigation Bureau and An Hualin of the Government Affairs Yuan continued, and the Cen Chunxuan incident was just one of the links.

Anwarin once again submitted to Chen Jingyun the rights to strictly and lawfully enforce the law, clarify the relevant rights of investigation, prosecution, and trial, and once again proposed that according to the constitution, it is a serious violation of the spirit of the constitution for a certain department to have the three major rights of investigation, prosecution, and trial, and this is to directly target the investigation bureau.

The power struggle between the Bureau of Investigation and the Government Council has actually affected many departments, and has even won the support of the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office and the Supreme Court. This is because the investigation bureau and other departments have a huge power conflict, for example, this investigation power, the two major tasks of the investigation bureau are one is to monitor hundreds of officials, and the other is domestic counter-espionage. At the same time, the Ministry of Police, which is subordinate to the Government Council, also has the right to oppose official corruption and even counter-espionage, and the main function of the Ministry of Supervision is to oppose official corruption and conduct administrative supervision. Therefore, the conflict between the three over the right to investigate is very serious. In addition, the Bureau of Investigation can prosecute and try on its own, which considerably threatens the power of the Supreme Procuratorate and the Supreme Court, which have just been established for more than a year.

This is also the reason why the investigation bureau is a unified and hated institution by the civilian system, and the main reason is that the investigation bureau has the power to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate.

In the face of the continuous persecution of An Hualin and others, Chen Cai's originally planned means of strong resistance were also shelved because of Cen Chunxuan's incident, Chen Cai has a lot of black materials about various officials in his hands, and if he takes out a few things casually and makes them public, he can end the political lives of An Hualin and others, but this power struggle has a bottom line that Chen Jingyun cannot tolerate, that is, he can't completely tear his face and make trouble on the table.

As for complaining to Chen Jingyun, it is useless, because those black materials were originally asked by Chen Jingyun to be investigated and prepared by Chen Cai, and most of them can never be used, and some of them may be used one day, so the Investigation Bureau can only investigate the corruption of these military and political dignitaries, but without Chen Jingyun's permission, the Investigation Bureau and even Chen Cai must not make any handling or even announce these things privately. If there is another Cen Chunxuan corruption incident, Chen Cai, who is in the corruption incident, will not be able to keep the position of the director.

When the strong means did not work, Chen Cai changed to other methods and began to frequently go in and out of the presidential palace, trying to obtain Chen Jingyun's direct support through his close personal relationship with Chen Jingyun. Although he doesn't read much, he is not stupid, he knows where his power or the power of the Investigation Bureau comes from, that is, it comes from Chen Jingyun's support. At the beginning, Chen Jingyun gave the investigation bureau the powers to investigate, prosecute, and try by himself, and even the original rules of the investigation bureau were drafted by Chen Jingyun, not that Chen Cai himself wanted to have these powers.

Speaking of which, to a certain extent, the struggle between Anwarin and other officials and the Investigation Bureau is not a struggle with Chen Cai personally, but a struggle with Chen Jingyun, who is standing behind Chen Cai.

For example, Anwarin did not directly suggest abolishing the Investigation Bureau, but initially said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be set up, which will be mainly responsible for domestic counter-espionage affairs, and if you add the inspection officials of the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Police, then these three parts of the Government Council will be enough to deprive the two main powers of the Investigation Bureau, and if you unite the Supreme Procuratorate and the Supreme Court, then the Investigation Bureau will become a dispensable institution.

In the face of disputes between the investigation bureau and the government affairs yuan, Chen Jingyun initially acquiesced in the contradiction between the two, as long as the two remained in a state of equilibrium, he would not take too many measures, but it is clear that this weak balance may be broken. At this time, Chen Jingyun had to make his own choice.

The dispute between the Investigation Bureau and the civilian system continues to expand, and now it is in a state of torn face, especially after Chen Cai and Cen Chunxuan's corruption was stabbed in the newspaper, the Government Council is already determined to dismantle the freak of the Investigation Bureau, otherwise An Hualin and others have to worry that Chen Cai's mad dog will bite them at any time.

But many times they also forget that Chen Cai's dog was raised by Chen Jingyun! It was not his own will that Chen Cai bit anyone, but Chen Jingyun's orders.

For Chen Jingyun, the domestic counter-espionage function is only incidental, and even the functions of monitoring the corruption of hundreds of officials are secondary, and the most important task of the Investigation Bureau is to help Chen Jingyun monitor the movements of hostile forces, including political officials, and opposition forces at home and abroad.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Investigation Bureau to be abolished, and it is even more impossible for Chen Jingyun to divide the function of monitoring hostile forces into those departments under the Government Council.

However, if this primary function remains unchanged, some minor functions can be changed to ease the fierce conflict between the Bureau of Investigation and the civil service.

For example, the monitoring of corruption by hundreds of officials should have been the affairs of the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Police under the Government Council, and it is not a way for the two to continue to conflict with each other, so it is necessary to clean up to a certain extent.

As for the right to prosecute and judge, it depends on the situation, for a secret agency, prosecution and trial are a bit redundant, when the Investigation Bureau dealt with some cases before, many people were shot without going through even the superficial trial procedures, and this situation cannot be changed if it wants to change, after all, the secret service work has the limitations of the work of the secret service, and many things are impossible to put on the table, for example, if the Investigation Bureau wants to deal with an important official according to Chen Jingyun's order, For the sake of political influence, Chen Jingyun will not allow major turmoil, and it is even impossible to conduct an open investigation and trial, so this kind of thing can only be done quietly by the Investigation Bureau.

In order to ease the tension between the civilian system and the investigation bureau, Chen Jingyun directly intervened in the battle between the two.

In April, Chen Jingyun rejected a proposal by Anwar Lin and others to establish a Ministry of Internal Affairs, but instead he asked the Investigation Bureau to transfer the anti-corruption [***] department to the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Police, which are under the Government Council. The Investigation Bureau, on the other hand, is concentrating on counter-espionage, and there is also a subtext that the Investigation Bureau will continue to focus its business on monitoring hostile forces.

As a result, Anwarin and Chen Cai did not achieve the expected goals, Anwarin and others hoped to dismantle the Investigation Bureau, and at the worst they would pull Chen Cai down, but so far Chen Cai's position as director of the Investigation Bureau is still sitting well, and even Anwarin is a little pessimistic that even if his term of office expires, it is estimated that Chen Cai will still stay in the position of director of the Investigation Bureau.

In addition to Chen Cai being scolded by Chen Jingyun several times, part of the anti-corruption business of the Investigation Bureau was also forced to be handed over to the Ministry of Supervision, although this did not damage the main body of the Investigation Bureau, but it was also a successful cut off part of the power of the Investigation Bureau.

This political wrestling between the high-level political axes that occurred in March and April soon came to an end, and the only beneficiary in this matter was Han Chenxu, his previous Ministry of Supervision was just an empty shelf, and the work of the previous anti-corruption inspection officials was handled by the Investigation Bureau, and the Ministry of Supervision could only get some small cases, which made Han Chenxu always very dissatisfied, this time in the struggle between the Government Council and the Investigation Bureau, the anti-corruption business of the Investigation Bureau was successfully cut, so that the Ministry of Supervision was worthy of its name.

Although this [***] has a lot of influence at the top level, it has little impact on the development of the entire situation in China, and it can even be said to be negligible, and China's industrial and commercial economy continues to show explosive growth stimulated by the war in Europe.

"Our export value in the second quarter is expected to be 20 percent higher than that in the first quarter, and the increase is mainly due to the large number of orders received by Tongkui Pharmaceutical and the state-owned morphine factory from the allies, and the large domestic textile mills have also received some textile orders from Russia! Orders from these three countries have allowed our export trade to grow further! Ma Yinchu held a thick economic development report in his hand.

"In addition, several large arsenals in the country have begun to supply ammunition and other military supplies to Russia, especially the export of artillery shells of various calibers has increased dramatically! In addition, China's Bengbu Aircraft Factory has also received an order for 100 aircraft from Russia! ”

Time entered the summer of 1915, the European battlefield continued to be tense, countries did not expect the war to break out for more than a year, they all thought that it would be the same as before, a month or two or even a few weeks before it would end, and in this case, the various strategic materials prepared by the countries were insufficient, among which Britain and France were okay, their own domestic productive forces were relatively sufficient, and at the same time, there were also vast colonies to provide various raw material resources, However, Germany and Russia have begun to shortage of various strategic resources in the pre-war reserves, such as tungsten ore, tung oil and pig bristles, which are strategic materials that are special products of China.

In addition to these traditional 'strategic materials, China has only exported a large number of antibiotics and morphine in the past year has been exported to Britain, France and Russia, although Germany also obtained some before the war, and after the war it also imported some through Sweden and other neutral countries, but the total amount is still seriously insufficient, so the Germans also found China, hoping to import antibiotics and morphine and other materials.

So this is a very interesting situation, that is, China and Germany are still at war, but the total trade volume of the two countries, or the volume of Chinese exports to Germany, is getting bigger day by day, and China exports a lot of goods to Germany through neutral countries such as Sweden, and now Germany is the third largest exporter to China. The first is the United States, the second is Britain, and the third is Germany, with France and Russia, as well as Austria-Hungary and other belligerents.

The export of these traditional materials, as well as medicines and other special materials, was beyond Chen Jingyun's expectations, and what made Chen Jingyun even happier was the export of military materials, which made more money from the export of arms than from the export of those traditional materials.

At present, China's D5A fighter jets have been successively equipped with the Entente countries of Britain, France, and Russia, and a total of more than 200 orders have been exported before and after, and Russia is still purchasing more than 100 planes from China. Orders for these aircraft alone earned millions of yuan in foreign exchange from China's exports in the first half of the year.

In addition to aircraft, China's several major arsenals have begun to accept orders from the Russian side, most of which are ammunition and bullets, in addition, the Russian army has also begun to require China's several major arsenals to manufacture arms according to the standards of the Russian army. The caliber of the rifle is 7.92 mm, and the artillery is also used in the metric system, such as 75 mm, 105 mm and 155 mm, but the Russian army uses 7.62 mm rifles, and the artillery is also 76.2 mm and 122 mm guns.

However, in order to win Russian ordnance orders, several major arsenals in China have begun to design and manufacture standard caliber weapons for the Russian army, such as the 7.62mm M1891 rifle, that is, the Mosin Nagant rifle, commonly known as the Chinese water lianzhu. To be honest, in terms of the advanced and reliable rifle, this rifle is better than the 1912 rifle in service in the middle [***], and the current Chinese 1912 rifle is only an improved version of the 1888 Committee rifle, except that the barrel has been changed to apply the 7.92 light tip round, and there is no essential change from the 1888 Committee rifle in terms of other surnames of the rifle.

At this time, the M1891 rifle imitated by the Nanjing Small Arms Arsenal for foreign trade also entered the army's sight, and was ready to be used as the prototype of the army's next-generation rifle together with several other rifles, the American Springfield rifle and the Ben 38-year rifle. Last year, the Chinese Army deeply felt that the 1912 rifle in service was far inferior to the rifles in service equipped by the great powers, especially the Russian Army and the Chinese Army, the biggest rivals of the Chinese Army, and the Russian Army, which were equipped with M1891 rifles and 38-year rifles, were stronger than the 1912 rifles of the Chinese Army. In addition, the 1912 rifle in service is 7.92 mm caliber, the weight and shooting reaction force of the rifle are too large, and it is not very suitable for the size of the Chinese, so the War Department has begun the development of a new generation of rifles, at the beginning there are two directions, that is, to copy the American Chuntian rifle, and the other is to copy the 38-year rifle of the Ben, of which the 38-year rifle of the Ben has been supported by the vast majority of the army generals! The main reason for this is that the 38-year-old rifle is a 6.5mm rifle cartridge, and this caliber of the rifle is specially developed for the physique of the soldiers, which can be said to be the most suitable for the yellow physique of East Asia in the world. More importantly, the strength of 6.5mm was suitable for the Chinese physique at that time.

Now, in addition to these two candidate rifles, the Russian M1891 rifle has also become one of the candidates for the Chinese Army.

In addition to rifles, the Wuhu Heavy Weapons Arsenal also began to supply the Russian army with the latest 1914 field artillery and 1915 mountain artillery. The reason why 75 mm artillery is directly provided, rather than imitating a large number of 76.2 mm artillery in service in the Russian army, is because it is not so easy to establish a production line for artillery, and the orders for artillery are not as many as rifle orders, and it is not cost-effective to directly build a 76.2 mm artillery production line for the Russian army, plus the Russian army itself is also in urgent need of a large number of ordnance, but there is no time to wait for China to slowly build it before purchasing, you must know that the logistics department of the Russian [***] side is the same as several other participating countries, Waving cheques around the globe to buy everything you can use, and one of the things that matters is time. Buy as much as you can offer now, not as much as you can produce later.

In addition to the two major events of rifles and artillery, the official number of the Chinese [***] team is the 1913 light machine gun, that is, the domestic version of the Madsen light machine gun was introduced by the Russian army, in addition, the mortar was also purchased by the Russian army, and the Russian army equipped with Chinese-made mortars is also the first country in Europe to officially equip mortars.

China's ordnance began to enter the Russian side, which is not a lot on the whole, and generally entered the Russian market together with a large number of American weapons, although the number of finished ordnance is not much, but the supply of various bullets and shells is very large.

The consumption of rifles and artillery is actually not as big as imagined, the most consumed in the war is bullets and shells, the Russian army shoots out a large number of shells and bullets on the front line, and the domestic production is difficult to supply up to millions of troops, and at this time, China's ammunition production in neighboring countries has become an important source of ammunition for the Russian army, and several major arsenals in China have even set up artillery shell factories and bullet factories of the Russian army in order to meet the orders of the Russian army. Trainloads of shells and bullets were transported to the battlefields of Europe via the Far Eastern Railway, in exchange for truckloads of yellow gold.

At present, the paper money in the trade of various countries during the war has lost its due credit, and the settlement of international trade is almost all settled in gold, and when the war continues, the gold reserves of Russia, France, Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary and other participating countries are also rapidly decreasing and flowing into the United States, China, and other countries. Among them, the United States naturally eats most of the meat, but China and the other country have also eaten the leftover minced meat residues, and this residue alone is enough to make the economies of China and the two countries show explosive growth!

The outbreak of the war in Europe has given China and the two countries the foundation for economic take-off!
