Beiyang reactionaries

This is because when the Republic of China was established, we wanted to establish a republic, and we could learn from European and American countries.Therefore, many of the political system and legal issues formulated by the Republic of China are directly copied from the political system, policies, laws, etc. of European and American countries.Including election issues are also learned from European and American countries.

And now the new suffrage plan proposed by China is more similar to the newly established Soviet Union.The Soviet Union also held elections some time ago, which is similar to China's suffrage program.

Except for the "counter-revolutionary" group they designated, everyone else has the right to vote as long as they are old enough.The Soviet Union is considered to be the first country in the world to truly popularize the right to vote and be elected.

And this issue of voting rights has been arguing for so long, and the time has entered mid-July 1923.The time has come, and Duan Xun is going to have a slow showdown with Japan.

But if he really wanted a showdown, Duan Xun was still very nervous.

Showdown with Japan.

If it wins, there will be a turning point in China's national fortune.Duan Xun can negotiate with other powers with the momentum of victory.But if he loses, his achievements over the years will be in vain.Maybe he will be bullied by those big powers in turn, how could Duan Xun not be nervous.

"it is good."

is a little nervous.

But after preparing for so long, Duan Xun has no way out.

So Duan Xun made up his mind with difficulty, and said to Kang Xinru: "Baoshu, let's start. Your people are ready for everything. As soon as I announce that I will take back the control of the customs, your people will immediately start to take over the customs of the whole country. Even if there are some customs that you can't take over quickly, you have to have a plan. Let those customs be in our hands."

"Prime Minister, don't worry."

Kang Xinru nodded.

Then he immediately patted his chest and promised: "In the past few years, in the name of learning customs knowledge, I have had a lot of contact with the staff of major customs across the country. I also have a deep understanding of them. If we can't grasp some customs in time, if the Prime Minister agrees, I wonder if we can first appoint some former customs staff as the head of customs, and wait until we go to take over."

"can."

Duan Xun nodded and said: "Although our customs has always been controlled by the British and Japanese, most of the staff are Chinese. These people have rich experience in customs. After you take over the customs, don't act casually. Repel these people, or make good use of these people."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

"Go."

to start.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened. As long as the customs side starts to confront Japan, there will be no room for maneuver.But Duan Xun has no regrets, because China wants to get rid of the control of the great powers, this step must be taken.

…………

"Prime Minister, check it or not."

Kang Xinru made a move.

It is not a lie to have done so much preparation.

On July 1923, 7, customs staff from Chongqing Customs, Wanxian Customs, Mengzi Customs, and Jiujiang Customs, a total of four places, anonymously reported to the General Prosecutor's Office that there was a problem with the customs' accounts.

And the content of the report is similar.

They all said that the Japanese person in charge of controlling these customs made a fake account, embezzled and accepted bribes.And this is not empty talk, but even detailed account information, very detailed.Moreover, these people are "supernatural powers", and these materials came directly in front of Weng Jingtang.

This is a big case.

Weng Jingtang is crazy, but not a fool.

If it is another case, no matter who is involved, he will investigate it to the end and will not give any face.But this case is different because it involves Japan.

Of course, it's not that Weng Jingtang is afraid of Japan.

Weng Jingtang is a fearless person.As the saying goes, if you don't want to be strong, Weng Jingtang is such a person.He doesn't have much ambition, so he has never had much fear.

But Weng Jingtang understands that the relationship between China and Japan is delicate now.If this problem gets bigger, it will affect the country's foreign policy. This is completely different from the cases Weng Jingtang handled before.I have also handled foreign-related cases before, but they were all cases that would not really touch the bottom line of the great powers.But the customs are different, which is related to the interests of many great powers.So Weng Jingtang thought for a long time, but still suppressed his temper.

Came to Duan Xun here.

"Is there any problem with the report?"

"From my point of view, this is not a report without purpose. I learned from the side. The goods exported by the customs during this period are roughly the same as this report. Therefore, I think this is a trustworthy report."

"So what do you think?"

Duan Xun thought that as long as he handed these things to Weng Jingtang, Weng Jingtang would definitely investigate.Unexpectedly, Weng Jingtang was not as impulsive as he imagined.

Still understand some sense of proportion.

"Check, Prime Minister, it should be checked. The income of the customs is our finance. Japan just manages the customs for us, and does not have the right to own and handle the customs assets. If this report is correct, it means that it is Japanese It's no small thing to take our finances away."

Weng Jingtang directly expressed his attitude.

check.

Must check.

Even if it is Japanese, it should be checked.Weng Jingtang knew that because the Japanese were involved, without the support of Duan Xun, it would be difficult to investigate.More importantly, Weng Jingtang did not want conflicts between China and Japan over this matter.

If China and Japan go to war for their own reasons, then Weng Jingtang will also be embarrassed.

"Then check it out."

Duan Xun's casual answer stunned Weng Jingtang.

Shouldn't Duan Xun consider such things carefully?After all, it involved the Japanese.But looking at Duan Xun's attitude, he answered indifferently.

Seeing Weng Jingtang's appearance, Duan Xun said solemnly: "I want conclusive evidence, not some speculative things. Before others react, seal up a few customs data rooms and financial rooms for me, and mobilize the most capable forces to give me Check carefully. After sealing those, if there are not enough people needed, teachers and students from surrounding universities will be mobilized to help."

"Yes."

Weng Jingtang nodded.

Although I don't know what Duan Xun is doing, but Duan Xun wants to find out, Weng Jingtang can be sure of this.

"I will greet the police department and ask them to fully cooperate with the work of your prosecutor's office. Your prosecutor's office can mobilize all the police departments in the local area to cooperate. There is also Chief Prosecutor Weng."

"Prime Minister."

"I hope you will personally take charge of this matter and direct this investigation."

"Yes."

On July 1923, 7, Yang Wei, the chairman of the Provisional Senate, announced that in view of the current discussion on suffrage rights, the Provisional Senate decided to suspend voting on suffrage rights.

This issue will be reconsidered in due course.

Finally, the raging suffrage issue calmed down.But before everyone got out of this big discussion, on July 1923, 7, a bigger news detonated the whole country.

On July 1923, 7, Weng Jingtang, chief prosecutor of the General Prosecutor's Office, was in Chongqing and raided four customs offices.
