Chapter 698 President Wang Becomes a Tool
President Wang still tried to struggle, he ran back to the building and called Naoto Matsuzaki.
But Matsuzaki said coldly: "Since Major Lin said that there is a spy in your place, it means that there are big problems within your organization. Major Lin wants to send people to help you, why do you still refuse?"
President Wang was dejected.
He now finally faced the reality.
The Administrative Committee is important, but he is no longer important.
In the past, he was a representative traitor supported by the North China Front Army. Now that the headquarters has supported Wang Jingwei, his representative significance is no longer strong.
The resources, connections and power granted to him by the Japanese will be stripped away bit by bit.
Even if the secretary had not acted foolishly, Lin Ze would still have found other opportunities to take over the financial power of the Administrative Committee.
Lin Ze’s ability to control the situation is so strong and the opportunity he found is so perfect.
Okamura awarded him the third-class medal of merit, but this medal can only be regarded as an "honor" and not a benefit.
But what benefits can impress Lin Ze now?
I guess this matter is worrying for the higher-ups as it is a big taboo to give no reward at all.
But now Lin Ze has taken the initiative to intervene in the financial power of the Administrative Committee, which has given a hint to the higher-ups.
No matter who the Administrative Committee appoints to take charge, it will be the same for the headquarters, whether it is Wang Kemin or Li Kemin. Since Lin Sang wants to intervene, let him intervene!
So whether for public or private reasons, Matsuzaki stood firmly on Lin Ze's side.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Kemin went downstairs to find Lin Ze again. This time, his eyes were filled with pleading, "Shengmin, I'm old. I'm afraid I don't have many years left to live. You..."
Lin Ze said calmly, "President, at this point, I have only one thing to say. Those who obey will get meat, and those who disobey will have their legs broken. This matter was caused by your secretary. I sent someone here to give you a small punishment. You will still be the chairman, and you will still be in charge of the personnel of the Administrative Committee. I also acknowledge the funds you approved, as long as they are not abused."
Wang Kemin was overjoyed!
He thought Lin Ze wanted to completely sideline him, so why did he leave him half a bowl of rice!
Those who are obedient get meat to eat, and those who are disobedient have their legs broken. Doesn't this mean that I should be a dog for the people?
Being a dog is good, there is nothing wrong with being a dog! Being a dog for the Japanese is one thing, but being a dog for the people is also one thing, isn’t it?
Well, the people should be more particular than the Japanese!
For a moment, President Wang actually felt a little grateful.
On the way back, Niu Saner was a little hesitant.
Lin Ze saw through it, "Niu Saner, what do you want to say?"
Niu Saner turned around and said, "Master, why don't you take this opportunity to take him down? I think the time is ripe. We also have some people in the Administrative Committee. By taking down Wang Kemin, we can control those important departments in one fell swoop."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Niu Saner, if you go to the street now and a thug offends you, will you fight him yourself?"
Niu Saner shook his head, "Don't worry if you laugh at me, I'll find a few people to help me take care of it."
Are you kidding? Director Niu is a shadow in the hearts of many people. They all say that he is cruel and murderous and is the most brutal official under Master Lin. Who would provoke him?
"Yes, the Administrative Committee is just a tool. They do all the dirty work and they want us to control their financial power. They can only obey us. No, they will push themselves to do better!"
Taking down Wang Kemin would attract too much attention. Wang Kemin was someone who could compete with Wang Jingwei of Jinling. Lin Ze took him down, so what was Lin Ze?
Letting this old man act as a puppet and helping Lin Ze take the blame is obviously the best choice.
At the critical moment, maybe they can frame Wang Kemin and catch him as a big fish lurking inside, and make a great contribution!
One fish, many ways to eat it. Mr. Lin is the one who eats fish, and Wang Kemin is that fish.
After taking care of the affairs of the Administrative Committee, Niu Saner arranged a special train to return to Tianjin.
There was no grand reception, only Wang Zhulin, Yoshimura Yuta and others came to greet us.
However, the police corps still cleared the platform to ensure Lin Ze's safety.
Safety is no small matter. Mr. Lin is now the behind-the-scenes controller of the North China Administrative Committee, the interest coordinator of the North China Front Army Command, a major officer of the Command, the director of the Coordination Bureau, the director of the Counterintelligence Department of the Tianjin Military Police Command, and the actual controller of giant companies such as the North Reserve and the North China Development Corporation...
His name is longer than that famous writer. It would be disastrous if someone attacked him from behind!
When they met, Wang Zhulin stepped forward and whispered, "Master, Dominic was anxious to see you and came to me."
"Dominic? What's going on? Is there a problem with the food supply at the dock site?"
Lin Ze asked Dominic to be responsible for the meals on the construction site. With tens of thousands of people on the construction site, the amount of food needed for both manpower and horses in a day is not a small amount.
But for the president of the American Chamber of Commerce, this is nothing.
The United States is now extremely rich. Not only is it gradually recovering from the shadow of the depression, the output of grain, oil, and other industrial products is also rising steadily. The Chamber of Commerce has its own cargo ships and channels, so it is extremely cheap to buy grain and related materials.
He even got some canned "meat", which was actually made by food factories by beating chicken bones and other scraps into a paste, adding some glue and more seasonings, and then making it into cans.
In Dominic's eyes, this stuff is so cheap that it seems like it's free, but in the eyes of the workers, it is real meat!
Very tasty meat!
"Sir, it's not about food supply, it's about Europe, the Gauls surrendered!"
Lin Ze slapped his head.
Forget about this!
"This is not the place to talk. Contact Dominic and ask him to come to the Lin Mansion to find me immediately."
Wang Zhulin hurried back, and Yoshimura Yuta came forward again to report on the port construction work.
In fact, everything went according to plan and there is nothing to report. Yoshimura Yuta just came to show his face. He now seizes every opportunity to show his loyalty. For a Japanese soldier, he is more diligent than Niu Saner.
When we returned to the Lin Mansion, Dominic had already arrived.
It was already quite hot in June, and this guy was wearing a suit and kept wiping his sweat.
"I say, Lao Duo, why are you in such a hurry? The Gauls surrendered, and the most you can do is sell canned food and munitions there. You don't have to be so anxious, right?"
Dominic whispered, "Master Lin, can you please talk to me for a moment?"
Lao Duo called out "Uncle Lin" in a clear and loud voice, and his Chinese has improved again.
He was taken to the reception room, where he lit a cigar and poured a glass of brandy before Dominic explained his purpose.
"Master Lin, to be honest, the Intelligence Bureau asked me to establish contact with the top brass of the front as soon as possible. We need to have some informal meetings and exchange of attitudes. The situation is almost out of control now, and the higher-ups don't want Japan to join in this chaotic scene!"
