Chapter 445 You Have Been Acting
Secretary Sun's face turned pale and he wanted to run outside, but two guards came in from outside the door.
He turned around and knelt in front of the President: "President, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
"Secretary Sun, you've been with me the longest. I think you understand best what to say and what not to say."
"But you disappoint me the most. You provided the locations of all the antiques that the Taisho Empire wanted, and you told them who they were in possession of."
"Do you really think I'm blind?" The President looked at him fiercely.
"You've been acting all along." Secretary Sun now understood everything.
All of this was a trap, a trap he set to catch them all.
The President looked at him and said, "It's a little late to realize this now."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the guard and said, "Take him away. Don't let him die, and don't let anyone see him."
Secretary Sun wanted to say something, but the guards gagged him and dragged him away.
At the same time, the President asked Pei Jingming to take the commendation to Beiyang City overnight.
As soon as he left the northern government, a purge took place here.
All the spies of the Taisho Empire hidden in the territory of the northern government were removed, and the Taisho Chamber of Commerce and the Taisho Consulate were also wiped out.
The speed was so fast that it scared the other people in the foreign consulate like frightened birds.
At the same time, the President made a phone call to the Beiyang City Governor's Office.
When Siming received the call, he was stunned for a moment: "Mr. President."
"Come to think of it, this is the first time we've spoken on the phone, but your father probably hasn't mentioned me to you." The President's voice was very cheerful.
"What do you mean?" Siming didn't quite understand.
"None of this matters anymore, but you have to remember what I'm going to say next." The president suddenly became serious.
"What?" Siming frowned.
"I've already asked Pei Jingming to deliver the award to you. After you receive it, you will be the General Customs Director of Beiyang City, in charge of the three nearby provinces."
"The governors of these three provinces are all very familiar with you, so there is no need for me to introduce you to them."
"Also, we can't keep Pei Jingming alive. Kill him once the things are delivered!"
"Why do this?" Siming was puzzled.
"I have already eliminated all Taisho Empire forces from the Northern Government, and I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to take action."
"They have no food this year. Even if they wanted to take action, they don't have enough food."
"Those who have good relations with them don't have enough food on their land to eat this year, and they can't sell it even if they want to."
"We won't sell to them, but neighboring countries will, but the price they have to pay will not be small."
"This battle has to happen sooner or later. I've been suppressed for too long, and I want to resist."
"When the war really starts, I will rush to the front line. Only after all of us old guys are dead will it be your turn, a young boy."
"So, guard the gate of Beiyang City carefully. Beiyang City cannot be breached."
"Also, I've already dispatched people to take action against the surrounding Taisho Empire forces. As for whether there are any hidden spies that I haven't found, I don't know."
"A Ming, I've always wanted to meet you. I always heard your father brag about his children, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet any of them."
"If we can see new countries again, we can have a drink together." The president said with a smile.
Siming suddenly felt indescribably heavy: "So you have been protecting me in an opposing way?"
"It's not really protection, but I want you to be on guard against me and those guys with evil intentions." The President said in a relaxed tone.
"I won't stand behind." Sima Ming replied.
"Even if you don't want to stand behind, you should still consider the importance of Beiyang City. If a war really breaks out, your location will be the target of public criticism."
"If the enemy seizes it, they can march straight in and attack Huanglong. If you hold it, we still have a chance to counterattack." The President did not think that Beiyang City was the rear.
On the contrary, Beiyang City is the most dangerous place.
"As long as I'm alive, they won't be able to enter Beiyang City." Si Ming's face was stern.
"That's good. Your father and I feel relieved to have you around." The President was very pleased.
"When will the war start?" Siming was not worried about his own life or death, but he wanted to send his family away.
"We caught them by surprise and disrupted all their plans, causing serious problems in their strategic deployment."
"I think we can still hold off for at least one or two years. As for how long it will last, no one can say for sure."
"Be prepared for battle at any time." The President said and hung up the phone.
The northern government's crackdown was still going on. The whole city was in a panic and gunshots could be heard everywhere.
The people were so frightened that they dared not go out. They stayed at home with doors and windows closed, fearing that they would be killed.
The cleanup lasted for several days, and the northern government wiped out all the minions of the Taisho Empire hiding in the dark with thundering force.
A notice was also issued, explaining the Taisho Empire's evil ambitions.
When the people saw this, they all applauded.
Pei Jingming didn't know what was happening in the northern government. While sitting on the train, he was still thinking about how to talk to Siming about buying food.
He asked in other places, but everyone said there was not enough food and no food to give him.
The grain production of those who were on good terms with the Taisho Empire actually decreased. Not to mention selling to them, they themselves could hardly get enough to eat.
In the end, he had no choice but to believe the President's words and go to Sima Ming to discuss the purchase of food.
But my relationship with Siming has always been bad, so how can I get him to agree?
And the most important thing for him is to take the little girl Juanjuan away.
He bit his fingers and walked back and forth in the carriage, thinking about how to take Juanjuan away.
As long as she is brought back to the Taisho Empire, all the grievances she has suffered over the years will no longer matter.
During this period of time, he was always thinking about how to catch Juanjuan and didn't pay any attention to the news in the newspaper.
Siming told his family what the President said.
He looked at the people in the hall and said, "Mom, I want to send you abroad."
"What will you do after we leave?" Old Madam Si frowned.
"Mom, I must defend Beiyang City." Siming looked at the people in the hall.
The butler clasped his hands together and said, "Commander-in-Chief, are you asking us to leave too?"
Siming looked at the people around him. These people had always been loyal, and he didn't want them to be affected by the war.
"We don't know when the fighting will break out here. You may not be able to help if you stay." Siming said to them.
He turned to look at Miao Jiu: "Brother-in-law, take them away."
"We're all gone, leaving you here alone?" Miao Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"The three children are still young. My sister definitely can't take care of them alone." Si Ming looked at the triplets with wrinkled faces next to him.
"Who said I was leaving?" Si Ning spoke.
"Sister, this is not the time to joke around." Si Ming felt a headache.
"I am also a daughter of the Si family. I have learned everything you have learned, and I am no worse than you in every aspect." Si Ning looked dissatisfied.
