    Wang Maoru laughed, and after sending Fang Hongxin away, Chief of the Interior Wang Yongjiang and Deputy Minister Chang Rujiu came. Wang Maoru's request to them was to establish a complete police system.  Chang Rujiu is very experienced in this area. When Wang Maoru was the general manager in Hulunbuir, he established a complete police system that was more suitable for the local area.  He immediately requested that the police system originally developed in Hulunbuir be transferred to the whole country and promoted.

    However, Wang Maoru insists that intelligence agencies and secret service agencies are not under the jurisdiction of the police department, but are directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Presidential Palace. Wang Maoru¡¯s reason is that because the police department has more contact with ordinary people, there cannot be less conflicts between the police and the people.  Even if the conflict between police and citizens is small, multiplied by the total number of 400 million people, it will become a huge active volcano.  And if the police department manages a national security spy agency, the people will inevitably shift their conflicts to the state and the government, thinking that they live in a country where spies are rampant - the Dongchang, Xichang and Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty made the people panic.

    Five days later, Wang Maoru was heading to Weihai without stopping, and the first batch of rescued Chinese refugees returned by airship.  In terms of voyage distance, the closest city to Japan is not Weihai, but Shanghai. However, Weihai is closer to Beijing, and the Chinese naval base is in Weihai.

    In the 13th year of the Republic of China, April 1st was called April Fool's Day by Westerners, but Chinese people did not have this habit. However, everyone heard a message on the radio that today was the day when the Chinese compatriots who were persecuted in Japan returned.  After dozens of days of travel, the first batch of 1,634 Chinese compatriots finally returned to the motherland by airship.

    In order to welcome them, dozens of acres of farmland around Weihai were purchased.  It was quickly bulldozed and built as a temporary airship landing base.

    Until three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone finally looked forward to the return of the airship brigade, which was greeted by ten aircraft from the Weihai Naval Base.  Three hundred and eighteen airships returned safely.  At this time, the fuel on the airship was almost exhausted. Most of the time, everyone was even relying on the wind to fly. Fortunately, this season began to turn from northwest wind to east wind. Even so, it was still delayed than expected.  It took two days to return to Weihai Port.

    Wang Maoru led the main officials of the Republic of China government to wait below, and the airships finally landed slowly.  It has long been heard that these people even had only a few thin pieces of clothing, and in order to reduce the weight when they returned, they even threw away all the items they carried before climbing onto the airship.  The soldiers of the National Defense Force had already prepared hot buns.  Spicy soup, windbreaker, socks, leather shoes.  Even the hat is ready.

    Just after the airship landed.  The soldiers of the National Defense Forces immediately ran over carrying clothes and food. As soon as the hatch was opened, the first thing the Chinese refugees saw was the enthusiastic soldiers of the National Defense Forces carrying clothes and food. With a warm expression on their faces, they said: "Compatriots  , eat something first and wear thicker clothes. It¡¯s colder here than in Japan. Don¡¯t freeze.¡±

    The refugees who got off the airship burst into tears. These are our compatriots.  This is the feeling where blood is thicker than water.

    The airships kept landing, and almost every airship had six or seven people. Finally they gathered together. Wang Maoru walked over with government officials. Next to him were the young and handsome Prime Minister Gu Weijun, and the old and strong Minister of National Defense Sa Zhen.  Bing, the distinctive Foreign Minister Chen Yi, the Speaker of the Senate of the National Assembly Shi Shaoyang, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Liu Enge, the official of the Supreme Court of China Yuan Keding known as Yuan Laizi, and the representative of the China Charity Federation Zhu Songyun.

    After the refugees learned that the President had come to visit in person, they also gathered excitedly. Under the protection of National Defense Force soldiers and agents of the National Statistics Bureau, and with the support of the military police, Wang Maoru and other people walked over and conducted interviews with the Chinese refugees.  Condolences.  Of course, throughout the ages, this kind of condolences must have been more of a show than an actual expression. What does a leader say hello mean?  Can it resurrect the dead, or can it make those who have suffered a disaster forget the past?

    ¡°But this shows that the Chinese government will never forget the refugees, will never give up on the Chinese refugees overseas, and will not let the overseas Chinese suffer in vain.

    Wang Maoru held the hand of an old man and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, old man, our actions were too slow."

    The old man burst into tears and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, President, I thank you. If you hadn't sent people to save us, all six of our family would have died. I thank you, I kowtow to you." As he said this, the old man said  He was about to kneel down, and his relatives quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

    Wang Maoru immediately stopped him and said to the guards: "Don't let everyone kneel." The guards quickly helped the refugees up, but more people knelt on the ground and shouted thanks.

    Wang Maoru turned around helplessly and smiled bitterly with Gu Weijun, Sa Zhenbing and others. When he saw a car on the side, he walked over and climbed onto the front hood of the car in a few steps.  He stood on the hood of the car and shouted: "Everyone, stand up. Don't kneel down for me or for others. In the future, we Chinese people will only kneel on the knees of the world, our parents and ancestors, and the other time is for husbands and wives to worship each other. What does it mean for you to kneel to me? Get up.  , get up, it is not me, Wang Maoru, who saves you, but China, the whole of China is working together to save you."

    The guards were frightened. What if someone assassinated Wang Maoru with a gun at this time?  Uresong quickly persuaded: "President, it's too dangerous. You can talk about it when you come down, or we can go up."

    Wang Maoru shook his head and said it was okay. He said in a loud voice: "Compatriots, go home! You are home now! You no longer have to be afraid of unfamiliar languages ????around you, dangerous sounds around you, and people around you at any time.  Those who want your life or your property at any moment, you are stepping on the land of the motherland." His voice spread far away, arousing the resonance of the refugees. He added: "I know that you have nothing now.  When you come back, you have nothing but your life. But please remember that as long as our lives are there, our future is there. The Chinese nation has never been a race that recalls the past every day. The Chinese nation is a race full of hope for the future.  and strive hard for it. Now, people across the country are donating to you, hoping that you can have a better life after returning to China. I know it is difficult for you to forget the past, but please believe that your future will be even better.  Happiness. Compatriots, if you have relatives in the country and want to go to the rescuers, you can apply to the rescuers, and the country will pay you travel expenses and everything. If you can't find relatives, then start again. We start again and face it again.  Life, I believe that if you can create miracles overseas, you will definitely live a better life at home."

    The refugees had tears in their eyes and refused to leave for a long time. After Wang Maoru and others continued to visit the refugees to express condolences, they had a brief conversation with the refugee representatives that night to comfort them.  Later, Wang Maoru returned to the capital, and his wife, Ms. Zhu Songjun, a representative of the China Charity Federation, continued to help the refugees.

    The refugees learned that Ms. Zhu Songjun was the wife of President Wang Maoru, and their attitude towards her was unprecedentedly respectful. Some reporters took photos of Zhu Songjun helping the refugees and holding a two-year-old refugee child in tears, and then published them in newspapers.  .  For a time, Zhu Songjun became famous, vaguely regarded as the "mother of the country".

    The second batch of refugees, numbering about 700 people, was escorted by two naval ships and returned to Shanghai port on civilian ships.  The third and fourth batch of refugees departed from Tokyo, Japan, and were escorted back to Weihai Port by the Canopus and Avenger respectively.

    After the navy returned to China, some junior naval officers directly protested to the Ministry of National Defense and demanded the removal of Liu Guanxiong, the fleet commander at that time, because the naval fleet was humiliated by the Japanese First Fleet in the Yellow Sea.  The fact that Liu Guanxiong, the chief of the Coast Guard, was blamed for the navy's humiliation reflects the internal contradictions of the Chinese navy, that is, the power struggle between graduates of Mawei Military Academy and Weihai Academy, China's two major naval academies, in the late Qing Dynasty. Liu Guanxiong was naturally caught in the middle.  Became a punching bag.

    The earliest naval military school in China is naturally Mawei Shipbuilding School (also known as Mawei Military School). It was built in 1866 under the auspices of Shen Baozhen, the Minister of Shipbuilding in the late Qing Dynasty. As the first military school of the Chinese Navy, Mawei Shipbuilding School was called  As the cradle of the navy, officers of the Nanyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy all graduated from here.

    Wei Naval Academy was built under the leadership of Sa Zhenbing. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, it was established to train qualified captains.  With the Mawei Naval Academy damaged by war, Weihai Naval Academy became the new cradle of the Republic of China Navy.  Chief of Coast Guard Staff Shen Honglie graduated from here.  When Shen Honglie presided over the establishment of the Northeast Marine Police Corps, he appointed a large number of classmates to hold important positions in the navy.  Later, Wang Maoru founded the National Defense Force and merged the Republic of China Navy and the Northeast Marine Police Corps to form the China Coast Guard Headquarters. A deformed Coast Guard Headquarters bureaucracy suddenly emerged.

    Most of the captains are seniors from Mawei Military Academy in their 40s who have rich ship command experience, while those who hold important positions at the Coast Guard Headquarters are young juniors in their 30s who have graduated from Weihai Naval Academy.  Within the senior military system, there must be many conflicts between young people commanding old people, which also creates hidden dangers for this outbreak of dissatisfaction in the navy.

    After Wang Maoru learned about the actual situation, he discussed the solution with Defense Minister Sa Zhenbing. Sa Zhenbing smiled bitterly and said: "If I were at the coast guard headquarters, everything would"

    Wang Maoru could only smile bitterly. There was nothing he could do about this kind of internal power struggle. He was not a god. He didn¡¯t wave his arms to everyone. He was just like a pig, only obedient and had no selfish motives of his own.  At the same time, Wang Maoru was also dissatisfied with Liu Guanxiong's failure to implement his demands and the decisive battle with the Japanese fleet.

    It seems that letting Liu Guanxiong leave the navy is the only way to calm everyone's anger and Wang Maoru's personal anger. It seems that Liu Guanxiong has already left the navy.He knew his fate and took the initiative to submit a letter of resignation to the Ministry of National Defense after returning to China.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
