Each underground party organization also has its own intelligence source, and there will be multiple informants providing intelligence and clues to the organization.
If Guo Songtao just develops a local informant and collects intelligence, that is something he can directly decide, but to recruit a formal member, he must strictly follow the procedures.
The training level has been passed. After the individual submits a written application, it is necessary to determine the introducer. Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang also have two introducers. The next step is to organize an investigation and qualification review. Only after passing the test will they be included in the development targets. After a period of time,
Only after passing the test and making a decision through discussion by the party branch can one become a formal party member.
Of course, there are exceptions. During the war, many comrades joined the party. This was a special procedure approved by the organization at a critical moment of life and death.
Sheng Muyi's personal situation is relatively complicated. Her father, Sheng Youde, has close contacts with senior officials of the Kuomintang, and she herself is a student who returned from studying in the United States.
Doing her ideological work well and training her into a revolutionary warrior requires a process.
Guo Songtao knows that the organization attaches great importance to Sheng Muyi, and may adopt more flexible and special methods to meet her progress requirements.
First, she is welcome to join the revolutionary ranks, and secondly, in view of her special status, other arrangements will be made for her appointment.
This is not only to protect her, but also to allow her to play a greater role in future battles against the enemy.
Sheng Muyi is very excited every day now. What Guo Songtao preaches to her every day is like raindrops falling on her dry heart. She is not even in a hurry to leave Hong Kong.
Sheng Muyi has been hesitating whether she should tell Guo Songtao about the Japanese plan to attack Northeast China. She is not sure whether her father's safety can be guaranteed once the news is passed on.
She seems to be waiting for subtle changes in Sino-Japanese relations. If her escape can bring even a little pressure on the Japanese military, she will feel that she has succeeded.
Now the Japanese's search network in Hong Kong is getting tighter and tighter, which has brought a lot of trouble to her hiding place. At the same time, it has also brought her some comfort, indicating that it was completely wise for her to escape from Shanghai.
Huiwen Bookstore and the hotel she is currently staying in are relatively safe. Following the principle of a cunning rabbit with three burrows, Guo Songtao found another safe place for her.
Once the Japanese search the area, they will move Muyi to a safe place, and then move her back after the Japanese have searched.
Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang have already figured out that Sheng Muyi has a secret hidden in her heart, and this secret must be related to the Japanese, otherwise why would the Japanese stare at her so closely.
But Sheng Muyi didn't take the initiative to say it, so they wouldn't ask. This was also a clear instruction from her superiors.
Sheng Muyi eagerly absorbed the revolutionary theory taught to her by Guo Songtao, and at the same time she was constantly improving her makeup skills, which showed that she was still uneasy and had the idea of continuing to escape.
Guo Songtao reported Sheng Muyi's current mental state to his superiors. The superiors' reply was that while protecting her safety, they would respect her personal decision.
"Now is the time to test Sheng Muyi and whether she really has faith in the revolution. It is also the time to test you. Protecting her is the best way to unite her." The superior ordered Guo Songtao in a secret letter.
instruction.
Guo Songtao understood his superior's intention and actively served her.
Having run a bookstore for many years, he was very familiar with this industry. According to Sheng Muyi's request, he quickly assembled the domestic and foreign makeup books she needed.
Time flies, and Mu Yi has been hiding in Hong Kong for two months without realizing it.
On this day, the Japanese search net finally covered the hotel where Sheng Muyi was staying. Sheng Muyi had successfully moved to a new place two days in advance with the help of Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang.
The Japanese's blockade and searches were intensified day by day, which attracted the attention of the Hong Kong government. However, the Japanese did not do anything too extraordinary and did not violate public security regulations, so the Hong Kong government turned a blind eye.
Sheng Muyi did not ask Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang to help her leave Hong Kong, which would have been too difficult for others, and she did not want to make others angry.
Sheng Muyi relied more on them mentally. She confided her depression and hesitation to them, hoping to completely change her life.
However, she still didn't say a word about the 520 plan and what was going to happen at home.
It's not that she doesn't trust these two people or their superiors, but she is too worried about her father's safety and is absolutely unwilling to take any risks.
During the period of hiding in Hong Kong, her thoughts changed little by little. The idea of going to the United States to live anonymously gradually disappeared. Instead, she thought of changing her name and joining the torrent of the Chinese revolution.
In other words, she wants the original Sheng Muyi to disappear from the world and replace her with a brand new female revolutionary warrior.
She did not tell Guo Songtao about these changes in her thoughts, after all, her request to join the revolutionary ranks had not yet been responded to.
After moving to the new place, Mu Yi began to live a solitary life. Guo Songtao often came over and brought her various daily necessities and the books she wanted.
Around her, several members of Hong Kong's underground organizations were secretly protecting Sheng Muyi. They didn't know who they were protecting.
Guo Songtao's order is that once the Japanese pay attention to and search this place, they must report to him immediately without delay.
Guo Songtao is using his own intelligence network to protect Sheng Muyi, in order to fight against the Japanese's powerful search network. Although his intelligence personnel are not large in number, they are familiar with the terrain, are shrewd and capable, and each of them can stand alone.
An unexpected thing happened that day. I don't know if the news was leaked or the Japanese noticed something. They suddenly killed a carbine. Fortunately, Guo Songtao got the information in time and moved Mu Yi away at the critical moment.
During the transfer process, they ran into another group of Japanese. Although there was no direct conflict between the two groups, it was impossible to rush out.
In desperation, Sheng Muyi broke into a British-owned Kowloon hotel, took out her passport, and asked the owner of the hotel for protection.
The owner of the hotel, Mr. Henry, is a British gentleman who is familiar with "Don Quixote" and still retains the romantic and brave chivalry spirit of the Middle Ages.
The situation in Hong Kong is different from that in the mainland. Hong Kong was a land leased to the British by the Qing Dynasty, so the British had special rights in Hong Kong.
As long as there is a British flag hanging at the door, it means that the owner of the store is British. Let alone others, even the police investigating the case cannot break in directly. They must obtain approval from the judicial department of the British Hong Kong authorities in advance.
Henry looked at the Japanese people walking around outside the door, and then at Sheng Muyi, who was weak and beautiful and spoke fluent American English. He made a choice without hesitation: keep Sheng Muyi.
Henry lit a cigar, stood at the door, and ordered the hotel clerk to replace it with a brand new British flag. He also made a special call to the police station to question the security situation at the hotel door.
The police station quickly sent a car of police officers to check the public security situation nearby. With the sirens blaring, the Japanese had to quietly retreat from the area around the Kowloon Hotel.
Sheng Muyi found a strong castle, but she also fell into another dilemma. The Japanese could not enter, but she also lost contact with Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang.
Now that the target was clear, the Japanese no longer had to search everywhere and concentrated their efforts on establishing control around the Kowloon Hotel.
The Japanese even rented a store across the street from the Kowloon Hotel and opened a cafe specifically to monitor Sheng Muyi's movements.
However, these signs could not escape the keen sense of smell of Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang. They quickly found an opportunity to send a letter to the Kowloon Hotel, telling Sheng Muyi that there was danger outside the door and she must not go out easily.
The Shanghai underground party organization also started work around Sheng Muyi's departure. They also sent people to secretly observe the Liuyuan Garden and found that there were traces of Japanese spies around the Liuyuan Garden, but the operations of the Sheng Mansion were still normal.
This news was quickly passed on to Sheng Muyi, which made Sheng Muyi feel a lot more relieved.
Of course, Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang cannot enter the Kowloon Hotel directly. This is a clear organizational requirement, but they must ensure that information remains open to Sheng Muyi.
Sheng Muyi feels like she is in a castle now. As long as she can get news about her father, she will not panic. Maybe if conditions permit, she will be able to tell the secret in her heart.
Guo Songtao and Song Zhenyang are waiting for this moment with peace of mind.
