Sheng Muyi used her brain to memorize, she had to remember Lu Ming's plan in her heart word for word.
Guo Songtao told her very seriously that she could not bring any information with her, not even a piece of paper recording a sentence. She must keep the information in her heart and repeat it during the meeting.
This is of course to protect her safety, so that even if she is stopped or searched, there will be no evidence on her body.
Sheng Muyi always felt that this was an overreaction. In Shanghai, she believed that no law enforcement agency did not know her, and no law enforcement officer would really stop and search her. However, Lao Guo still insisted that she must do so, and she had no choice but to obey the order.
After the last contact with Lao Guo, she never went to see him again. Lao Guo said that she could not contact him without important information.
Lao Guo knew in his heart that every time he contacted Sheng Muyi, he was actually violating organizational discipline, because his superiors clearly ordered him not to have further contact with Sheng Muyi.
But this time she had to go see Lao Guo. She believed that the information Lu Ming got this time and the work plan he made in the Blue Clothes Club were definitely very important information.
She is not yet a member of the underground party organization, but is just a peripheral person, or just an intelligence informant. She doesn't care about this. As long as she has the opportunity to be close to the organization and can contribute to the country, it doesn't matter whether she has a status or not.
"Muyi, please analyze the economic reasons." Sheng Youde said.
"In fact, everyone knows the economic reasons. It is because of the economic crisis sweeping the world. Although Japan's economy is stronger than ours, it is still unable to compete with the big powers. Whether it is the real economy or the economic structure, in this economic crisis
Zhongdu has suffered a major blow, they are actually powerful from outside but weak from inside." Sheng Muyi continued to analyze.
"Since they are powerful foreign forces but powerful internal forces, how dare they launch a war of aggression against China?" Lu Ming asked in confusion.
"The Kwantung Army privately launched the September 18th Incident, which made Japan very passive in the international arena. The Chinese people's voluntary anti-Japanese and boycott of Japanese goods also caused heavy damage to the Japanese economy. Since the global economic crisis, Japan's exports to Europe and the United States have almost stagnated.
China is their biggest market, and now this market has been ruined by themselves."
Lu Ming looked at Sheng Muyi and said: "In order to achieve the goal of controlling China's economic lifeline, they are preparing to attack Shanghai, China's economic heart. The first is to act rogue to the international community, and the second is to scare and blackmail China again. Muyi, what do you think?
Am I correct in understanding this?"
Sheng Muyi glanced at Lu Ming with approval, and then said: "Yes, this is also my father's basic analysis of the situation. Japan took action in Shanghai for three reasons. The first was to attract the attention of the great powers and cover up their establishment of Manchuria in the Northeast.
The second reason is economic. They want to use force to blackmail China into opening up its market to them. The third reason is to suppress the rising anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese people."
"Don't underestimate the people's spontaneous anti-Japanese sentiment. It can be transmitted like a spark of fire. Forty million people across the country are ignited. It is a raging fire that can burn everything. Not only does Japan not dare to bully us anymore,
You have to retract your extended claws, otherwise you will get burned." Sheng Youde said seriously.
"The National Government is also afraid that the people will cause trouble and give the Communist Party an opportunity to take advantage of it. Our society has a plan specifically to deal with people taking to the streets to demonstrate. Yesterday, the Operations Department also bought a lot of clothing for ordinary people."
Yuan Ziyuan took a sip of wine and interrupted.
"That's all we can achieve by suppressing people's patriotic sentiments to achieve stability!" Sheng Youde said angrily.
Lu Ming suddenly remembered something. Muto informed him through Kenta to go to the United States to escape. If Japan just wanted to cause a local incident in Shanghai, the situation should not be so tense.
Muto is a senior staff officer of the General Staff of the Japanese base camp. It is impossible for him not to know the entire plan. Could it be that caring leads to chaos?
Lu Ming was a little puzzled, but through the analysis of Sheng Youde and especially Sheng Muyi, he felt more at ease. At least Shanghai would not fall like the Northeast, and things would not be that bad.
But as Sheng Youde said, the September 18th Incident heralded the beginning of Japan's war against China. This is unmistakable.
Of course, no one can say where things will develop. Now we can only analyze and predict.
Before leaving Liuyuan, Sheng Youde had a private conversation with him, mainly asking him to use the convenience of being in the Lanyi Club to get more information. Now is the time to spend money, especially information about Japan, at any cost.
.
When a national crisis strikes, if money can avert the disaster, it will be spent wisely and exert its greatest effect. This is Sheng Youde's consistent thinking.
Lu Ming felt that he had really received the true inheritance of Sheng Youde. Although he did not make money, he dared to spend money and knew how to spend money. This was how he had come along the way.
It's a shame that a wealthy man like Sheng Youde was his backstage boss, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt countless times.
Lu Ming drove back to Wanguo Apartment feeling relaxed.
When he saw that the light was still on in Mr. Dong's room downstairs, he suddenly thought of something, so he opened the trunk of the car and took out a large box.
He carried the box upstairs and first came to Mr. Dong's door and knocked.
Mr. Dong opened the door, saw him, and invited him in enthusiastically.
Lu Ming went in and took a look, and found that Mr. Dong had really followed his advice. The radio station was clearly placed on the table, and there was a code book next to it.
"Mr. Dong, do you smoke?" Lu Ming asked.
"Smoking." There are few people who have the habit of staying up late who don't smoke.
"Do you usually drink coffee or tea?" Lu Ming asked.
"I drink them all. Of course, my favorite is black tea. I'm used to drinking it in the UK, but I don't have the conditions to do so when I come back," Mr. Dong said with a smile.
"Inside are some cigarettes, a few cans of coffee, and two bags of black tea, but it's not British Lipton black tea, it's black tea from Fujian, China. There are also some bread, biscuits and canned fruits." Lu Ming put the box away as he spoke.
Arriving at the kitchen.
"Mr. Lu, why are you so embarrassed... I have already collected your wages, this..." Mr. Dong's face turned red and he waved his hands.
"Take it, it's all benefits from my work unit, and I don't need it. If you don't want it, then you have to throw it away." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Lu Ming does not smoke and rarely drinks tea. Even if he does drink tea, it must be the grade of tea given to him by Sheng Youde. He only drinks an occasional cup of coffee at the press club and only drinks whiskey when he gets home.
The benefits issued to the Secretary-General of the Blue Clothes Club were all piled up in his office. He simply packed a big box and put it in the trunk of the car, intending to give it to Mr. Dong.
"What do you want me to say? I'm taking advantage of you. It's inappropriate." Mr. Dong said with a wry smile.
"Then you'll save me some face and save me from wasting these things." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Mr. Dong was speechless, anything he said seemed pretentious, but he also knew that Lu Ming might really not like these things.
"Mr. Dong, I have to ask you to send me a telegram." Lu Ming walked over, sat at the table, pulled out his gold Parker pen, and wrote a telegram.
It is reported that the Japanese Marine Corps may launch an attack on Shanghai in the near future. The Japanese naval fleet will enter Wusongkou tonight, and the attack may occur at any time.
"Please send it to my teacher Frank as soon as possible, and if you get a call back, please help me accept it." Lu Ming handed the note to Mr. Dong.
Mr. Dong was shocked when he saw the telegram: "Mr. Lu, the Japanese are going to attack Shanghai. Is what you wrote true?"
"Well, this is the latest information I got. It came from Japan at noon today and has been confirmed by Nanjing." Lu Ming said.
"Then can I...?"
"You can send it to your people, if it's valuable. This news is still secret today, but in a few days the whole world will know it." Lu Ming said openly.
"It's so valuable. We have been paying attention to this news." Mr. Dong eagerly turned on the power of the transmitter.
"Then don't bother me. I'm going back to rest." Lu Ming said with a smile.
This news should let all the armed forces in China know that fighting the enemy is the responsibility of the entire nation. Lu Ming deliberately disclosed this information to Mr. Dong, and both sides naturally understood it tacitly.
At this moment, Lu Ming really felt tired. Mainly because his nerves were too tense when he heard the news at noon, and he felt tired after relaxing. In addition, he had been busy all day, and he had rarely worked so hard.
