to restore financial order

and stabilize prices

in the shortest time possible

and do your best to save our country.

Mr. Chiang.

Will you be fair?

What about those offenders

who have influence?

How will you handle them?

My mission in Shanghai

is to hunt tigers, not squat mosquitoes.

Mr. Chiang, can you tell us

your concrete course of action?

Tigers are easy to hunt

but l'm afraid icebergs

are hard to remove.

You are...

Du Yuesheng.

Mr. Du, l'm all ears.

My son Weiping has been arrested.

lf he broke the law, l have no complaints,

but someone else in Shanghai

is hoarding supplies

and peddling them to the

black market for profits,

openly defying the law.

lf you choose to overlook this,

President Chiang will

be very disappointed.

Please point me in the

right direction, Mr. Du.

l will look into it.

Read it.

7 godowns along the Bund.

The godown on No. 36 Nanjing Road.

No. 1 7 Avenue Joffre.

1 2 godowns in the South

Market using the word '"Jia. ''

Mr. Chiang,

this is the real tiger.

Who is it?

Yangtze Company owned by the Kung's.

Wire Wei Lihuang, urge

him to pull back south.

With crack troops like these,

even if we lose the Northeast,

we can get it back easily.

President, we wired him several times

urging him to go south,

but he ignored us.

Get my plane ready,

l'll fly out to Shenyang.

The President.

What is it?

Feng Yuxiang is dead.

What happened to you?

You bragged about your abilities.

You bragged about Shanghai.

You bragged about the

Red Army. And now?

General Feng was burned to death.

You.

This is all you can do.

Think it over. You won't get away.

You'll be executed if you lose a battle.

Now something went

wrong on your front.

Tell me what you should do. Speak up.

KMT secret agents did it?

According to the Russians,

General Feng was watching

a film in his cabin.

The film caught on fire

and ignited the cabin.

The film caught on fire? He's a general.

Why didn't he run?

What a bunch of morons.

A man is dead, the Russians

need to blame someone.

The ship was out at sea and abroad.

We didn't get all the facts.

General Feng became a soldier at 1 2.

50 years in the battlefield didn't kill him.

But our invitation

to send him abroad buried him at sea.

l feel so guilty.

General Feng may be dead

but he left behind a legacy

to build a new, independent China.

Enlai, wire our condolences

to Madame Feng

and invite her to the CPPCC.

Yes.

Mr. Chairman, it has been suggested

that the CPPCC should act for the NPC

to elect the central government.

A general election is hard

to come by during the war.

We must consult all the

other Parties on this.

Let's not waste any time.

Form the coalition government

first, then call the NPC,

is that it?

Precisely.

They're still in a war.

They can't elect their delegates.

We should make allowances for that.

l'll get in touch with Shen Junru

and pass on your message.

Mr. Mao and Mr. Zhou invited

you up north again.

Assemble.

Hurry.

Search all the godowns,

buildings, apartments and villas

in Shanghai owned by Yangtze

Company and the Kung's.

Operation starts at 7 am

tomorrow morning, understand?

Mr. Chairman.

Voices within the US

government have indicated

they will support your

replacement of Mr. Chiang.

What do you think?

Whether they support me or Chiang,

it's a cheap trick to pit

Chinese against Chinese.

lf the US wishes to maintain diplomatic

relations with the future China,

ignoring the CPC

is unrealistic.

The second question.

lf Vice President Li

replaced President Chiang,

will things get better?

ln terms of warfare,

Bai Chongxi is quite capable.

ln terms of politics,

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi

together are no match for Chiang.

You did not answer my question, sir.

Here.

What are you looking at?

Jinzhou.

That's over 1 ,000 km away.

More definite news won't

arrive until tomorrow.

lt's already 1 0:30 and yet no sign

of attack. Which division was it?

The 8th column.

You asked me 5 times already.

Really?

The Battle of Jinzhou is not

just over a city or a region.

lf we win, we can go on.

lf we lose, the situation gets complicated.

With regards to the draft

agenda of the CPPCC,

Zhang Lan and Shen Junru

made minor changes.

They know we're at war.

They're being very understanding.

Zhang Lan is sick.

We should postpone his trip up north.

We must invite him.

But we'll let him decide

when to come.

We'll wait.

Aunt, he has full authority

to seize everything owned

by the Yangtze Company.

He put out word all over

Shanghai looking for me.

Now l finally see him.

That ought to save him some trouble.

Have you gone mad, David?

Relax. He's the Liaison

Administrator, the prince.

l wouldn't dare shoot the prince.

This is very simple, cousin.

Shoot me and it's all over.

With the culprit dead, you'll

be famous in Shanghai.

We'll both get what we want.

Ching-kuo.

lt's clearly written in the state papers.

You're needed for

questioning within 1 0 days

or you'll be severely punished.

7 days have gone by, you

decide what to do next.

Yangtze Company is our family estate.

l dare you to arrest my father.

Nonsense. lt's clearly your fault.

Leave your father out of this.

lf he and Ai-ling found out

about your monkey business,

they won't spare you.

This is how we do business in Shanghai.

But the arrival of a Liaison

Administrator changed all that.

Auntie, everyone does it. That's the rule.

Only a feudalistic dictator

would run a business without rules.

Who are you calling a dictator?

The government is fighting a war and

soldiers are dying on the front.

But the state treasury is empty and

we had to borrow from the Americans.

Currency has depreciated and

prices have skyrocketed.

People are running scared.

But inside your godowns,

you hoarded over 1 00

thousand tons of supplies

which you are unwilling to sell.

l'm a businessman, not a philanthropist.

The CPC is working on land reforms

and political consultation.

Even Cai Tingkai and Shen Junru

have left for the Northeast.

Mao is setting up his own government.

Madame, you've always

supported Father.

l bet you never expected

right here in Shanghai,

someone is undermining him,

destroying the foundation of this country.

Their fortune, apartments,

clothes, perfumes and

iceboxes are like a virus

residing on the mere

skeleton of this country.

They are the enemy,

Father's and the state's.

That's enough,

Ching-kuo.

There are no enemies here, only family.

Let's talk about family today.

l'm not in the position to say anything.

He Yingqin is the Director

of National Defense.

Take pains to stay save.

Let Chiang talk to him.

You're a better marksman

than He Yingqin.

So what?

Chiang owns China now.

Even this gun has his

name engraved on it.

What can we do about it?

The CPC troops use this type of rifle too.

What matters is not the name on the rifle,

but the man who uses it.

Holding a rifle

beats holding an empty title of
