In the small courtyard, Qing'e was going in and out packing her luggage. Lu Ming was ready to return to Montenegro.
Wang Qingxi came in hurriedly, looking a little anxious.
"Boss, something happened. The four mine owners were arrested by Zhu Datong's brother-in-law."
Lu Ming was startled: "What?"
"Zhu Datong's brother-in-law is now the captain of the Jinkang Team of the Black Mountain Mining Inspection." Wang Qingxi's face was full of helplessness. "Although we have signed the agreement and received the checks from the four mine owners, the inspection team does not recognize it. I am now worried that our mine will not get it and the checks have been exchanged. There is no law here!" Wang Qingxi stomped his feet angrily.
Lu Ming nodded: "I will stay for a while to deal with things before leaving."
Wang Qingxi felt a little ashamed and sighed: "Boss, I am so incompetent."
"It's none of your business." Lu Ming patted his shoulder and turned around: "Tell the security platoon to prepare a car and go to the county government office."
There was a green-roofed truck parked in front of the steps of the representative office. Lu Ming was standing in front of the car and Lin Dayong was listening to him.
"As for you, you don't need to come back with me. Stay here for now and wait for the military order to be sent from the brigade headquarters. You will be responsible for receiving Jin Kang's guard company."
Lin Dayong was stunned when he heard this. Lu Ming smiled and said, "You will understand when the military order is delivered!"
With a wave of his hand, Lu Ming got into the car. Lin Dayong stood at attention and saluted, then watched the car leave.
…
The flower hall at the back of the county government office.
Governor Zhang looked at Lu Ming who was sipping tea and felt that something was wrong.
Because the two beautiful maids beside Commissioner Lu were gone, and a row of soldiers in olive green uniforms with shining bayonets stood beside him, and the air was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
When he saw Zhu Datong coming in, he felt relieved and stood up and smiled apologetically: "Director, you're here!"
Zhu Datong walked in slowly, frowned and glanced at the row of soldiers, then walked to the main seat leisurely, "Commissioner Lu, you asked Governor Zhang to invite me here, what's the matter?"
Lei Bao behind Lu Ming took out a piece of paper and held it in both hands, then stood at attention. "The Governor has issued an emergency order! Due to the tense situation, Montenegro will be under military control from now on by the Military Control Commission. All departments in Montenegro must fully cooperate!"
Zhu Datong was slightly startled and turned his head: "What do you mean?"
Governor Zhang also looked puzzled.
Lei Bao took two steps forward and handed the paper to Zhu Datong and Governor Zhang.
It was fax paper, but it had the Governor's signature and seal on it, and a list of members of the Military Control Commission on the back.
The chairman is Lu Ming, and the vice chairmen are Hu Dingshan, commander of the Heishan Brigade, and Xia Liren, commissioner of the Heishan Administrative Office. The list of members includes people at the level of deputy commissioners of the Heishan Administrative Office, deputy brigade-level officers of the Heishan Brigade, and three regiment commanders. Zhu Datong is also on the list of members.
Zhu Datong and Governor Zhang looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lei Bao smiled at Zhu Datong: "Director Zhu, the order should be delivered to the Black Mountain Mining Bureau in a few hours, and you will receive a call."
Lu Ming said to Governor Zhang: "I have sent people to take over the county's security company. A temporary military control committee will also be set up here, with our representative as the chairman and you as the vice chairman."
"Commissioner Lu, what's going on?" Zhu Datong finally lost his composure, his eyes flickered, and he was a little unconvinced.
"The details have to be kept secret. I will tell you when the Military Control Commission convenes a meeting." Lu Ming glanced at Zhu Datong and said, "You should also prepare and return to Montenegro as soon as possible!"
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, but then stopped. "Oh, just now on the street, a villain named Li Shixing rammed my car and delayed military operations. He has been arrested. He is from your mining system, right?"
Zhu Datong was stunned, and suddenly stood up, "Commissioner Lu..." He said in a slow tone, "He is my relative, please show some mercy, Commissioner Lu."
"There is no time to deal with these things now. Let's wait until the situation stabilizes a little!" Lu Ming walked out of the flower hall without stopping.
Zhu Datong was about to say something else, but the captain of the guards suddenly shouted in a long voice: "Turn left!"
Zhu Datong was shocked.
However, this row of soldiers raised their rifles with shining bayonets in an extremely neat manner, and with the sound of rhythmic pauses, they turned left one by one, made running movements, slowly gathered together, and then jogged out again.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Datong couldn't say anything more.
Governor Zhang was also horrified. For the first time, he suddenly felt that these soldiers with guns in their hands represented a terrible power, a power that could decide life and death.
In the past, he often asked soldiers from the county police company to do servants, such as moving things and so on. In his eyes, these soldiers were just coolies.
Looking at Zhu Datong again, the manager of countless mines worth billions in Montenegro, he was also stunned at this moment, with panic clearly in his eyes.
…
In the afternoon, Lu Ming was already sitting in the small conference room of the Montenegro Brigade.
In addition to Hu Dingshan, there were Chief of Staff Cheng Wei, Director of the Inspection Office Zhao Jingxun, and the commanders of the three infantry regiments in the conference room, all of whom were military representatives of the Military Control Commission.
At this moment, everyone's faces were solemn as they had just heard this top-secret and shocking information.
A military coup d'état took place in the imperial capital, and communications have not been restored since the night before last.
"A large-scale conflict must have broken out. According to intelligence officers outside the imperial capital, we heard some intense artillery fire." Lu Ming shook his head.
Fortunately, Han Annie and several other new members of the Special Investigation Bureau are undergoing training in other places. In the imperial capital, apart from Sister Windsor, there is no one that he particularly cares about for the time being.
As for Sister Windsor’s identity, unless both sides can no longer control their soldiers and a massacre breaks out in the imperial capital, it shouldn’t be a problem, right
Several colonels were even more shocked at this time. Artillery was used in the imperial capital? This coup was more serious than they had imagined.
Lu Ming continued, "We must be prepared to lose the protection of the empire, because no matter what the final outcome of the coup is, I think in the short term, the affairs of our five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, especially our Jiangning Province, may be too busy for the imperial capital to deal with. Therefore, the military control of Heishan can prevent the people from panicking, and it can also deter certain conspirators who want to take the opportunity to enter Heishan, and it will also have a deterrent effect on preventing the bandits from resurrecting."
Listening to Lu Ming's words, Cheng Wei, Zhao Jingxun and others took notes and nodded.
Hu Dingshan sighed and said, "It's also fortunate that Commissioner Lu, oh, should I call him Chairman, has intelligence from the imperial capital. Otherwise, we, a bunch of country bumpkins, would be caught off guard and die without knowing how. Apart from anything else, we have an organization called the Smoked Chicken Society in Heishan that has colluded with mountain bandits and foreign forces. This is a godsend opportunity for them. Wouldn't they cause trouble?"
Lu Ming coughed. If the leader of this organization knew that he now had such a "powerful" code name, he would probably be furious.
I originally wanted to go to Jinkang to thoroughly investigate the Smoked Chicken Association, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and now I can only return to Heishan to take a comprehensive look at the overall situation.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming said, "The Municipal Administrative Office should have received the notice, right? Old Hu, give Xia Liren a call later and let's see when we can meet. The Military Control Commission should divide up the work, so we need to get things moving quickly."
"Okay!" Hu Dingshan nodded.
One thing after another has forced Hu Dingshan to retreat to the position of deputy no matter what he thinks.
Including the Montenegro Military Control Committee, Governor Chakson, that old fool, although he agreed to implement military control in Montenegro and two other cities that were often plagued by bandits and had territorial disputes with Jiangbei, he also specifically asked Lu Ming to take the lead in the Montenegro military control, and Hu Dingshan had no choice.
Lu Ming stood up and said, "I'll make a few more calls."
There are so many things to prepare for and prevent, especially for businesses in various places. I don’t know how many will be affected.
When the world is in chaos, investments and the like can really lead to losing all your money in a matter of minutes.
I can only say that I hope this huge change will not affect the overall situation in the Eastern world. Most of my investments are still focused on the eastern states and provinces.
