After finishing these things, it was lunch time. After lunch, Lu Ming returned to the office to drink tea, and then read the major Chinese and foreign newspapers and periodicals in Shanghai subscribed to by the club.
This has also been his habit for many years. Every day he takes time to look through Chinese and foreign newspapers and periodicals, reading the important ones carefully and skimming the unimportant ones.
Judging from news reports, Shanghai is still very peaceful and prosperous. Photos in various illustrated magazines and news pictures in newspapers all show scenes of peace and prosperity.
The Central Army is still suppressing the Communists, but its performance is not good. Although the Central Daily News always reports the glorious results of the National Army, when comparing various situations, it is found that the National Army is almost running in circles, and there is no new progress in the great cause of suppressing the Communists.
progress.
Regarding the underground organization of the Communist Party, there are few reports in newspapers, and such matters are usually resolved secretly.
Lu Ming looked up and looked at the calendar on the wall: January 17, 1932.
There was an indescribable sense of oppression in his heart. He felt that the footsteps of the Japanese army were getting closer and closer. The shadow of the ghost was getting bigger and bigger, but it did not make any sound.
He also knew that the Blue Clothes Club was established too late, like a child that has not yet fully developed, and cannot deal with a strong thug in any case.
The intelligence units of Shanghai's various departments of the party, government and military have been doing their own thing for a long time and competing for credit with each other. It would be nice if they did not cooperate with each other and did not undermine each other.
It is precisely in the gaps where these units build strong barriers and seek self-protection that the underground organizations of the Communist Party can tenaciously survive.
Under such realistic circumstances, if you want to quickly integrate a powerful intelligence team and cooperate seamlessly to deal with the Japanese, it can only be a beautiful wish, but it cannot be realized at all.
The main goal of the Blue Clothes Society is actually the Communist Party. When the General Society was established, the chairman had already expressed his attitude. Deng Wenyi and Kang Ze also fully considered this factor when selecting and employing people.
It is conceivable that after the intelligence work of the Blue Clothes Society becomes normalized, the living space of the underground Communist Party organizations will be further compressed.
Lu Ming knew this better than anyone else. He was just pretending to be confused and pretending that one day was the same.
He sympathized with the Communist Party's situation, but he was powerless. He was powerless to prevent the Blue Clothes Society from taking action against the underground party. At the most, he could only ensure that he would not take action himself.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese plan to attack Shanghai fell from the sky, disrupting the Blue Clothes Club's deployment.
Objectively speaking, the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party is only operating secretly, but the Japanese are already standing at your door with bayonets in hand. What do you think we should do?
This is the reality that Kang Ze faces, and of course it is also the reality that Lu Ming faces. If there is no country but a general, how can the Blue Clothes Society start talking about it?
After drinking the tea three times, it was almost tasteless. Lu Ming put down the teacup, stood up and stretched.
He wanted to go to the Press Club, but found it boring. He picked up a book and flipped through a few pages, but still couldn't get into it.
He knew why he was restless, but he couldn't calm himself down, and he didn't want to forcefully calm himself down with whiskey.
He closed the door, picked up the red telephone and called Sheng Youde, telling him his idea of ​​establishing a secret service school.
If you want to accomplish this, you must invite several Soviet espionage experts to be teachers. This is Lu Ming's idea, and Peter and Andre have been consulted for their opinions.
However, persuading the government to apply to the Soviet Union was not a simple matter and required the support of Mr. Sheng Youde and Mr. Wenbai.
"You have quite an idea. Yes, I agree. I will tell Mr. Jiang's bodyguard. You can tell Wenbai directly. Don't you have the phone number of his office?" Sheng Youde said with a smile.
"Am I right? My identity..." Lu Ming felt a little uneasy.
"Why is it inappropriate? Aren't you a big shot now?" Sheng Youde teased.
Lu Ming blushed. It seemed that the old man was quite vindictive. Haha, I had to pretend to be confused.
Lu Ming hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed Mr. Wenbai's office number.
A man answered the phone. When Lu Ming heard it, he guessed that he was Mr. Wenbai's adjutant. He said he had something to do with General Wenbai and gave his name.
After a while, Mr. Wenbai's enthusiastic voice came from the microphone.
Knowing that Mr. Wenbai was very pressed for time, after exchanging a few words, Lu Ming hurriedly explained his plan to establish an agent training school.
"Haven't you already sent a group of students to the special training base for training?" Mr. Wen Bai asked rhetorically.
"We have students receiving training, but they can only learn some basic agents and are not professional enough. We must have a group of excellent intelligence personnel to deal with the Japanese in the future. I would like to invite foreign experts to teach them." Lu Ming boldly
A request was made.
"Isn't it okay to invite German experts?" Mr. Wenbai asked.
"I don't think so. Although Germany is at the forefront of the world in radio communications, they are weak in intelligence operations. It would be best if they could invite British experts," Lu Ming said.
"Don't even think about British experts. Unless we send people to study with them, it will be very troublesome. Soviet experts are easier to hire...but they are also more sensitive. Let me give it a try." Mr. Wenbai continued to say.
Stop the road.
"Thank you, General. I'll wait for your news." Lu Ming said happily.
"You don't need to thank me. I said that you young people should boldly come out to do things. You want to build China's own professional agent team in Blue Clothes Club. This is a very good idea. We are indeed blank in this area. I
I will do my best to facilitate this." Mr. Wenbai praised.
"Okay, General, thank you again." Lu Ming said excitedly.
Judging from Mr. Wenbai's tone, he is actively supporting it. If he can convince the chairman of the committee, he is basically 70 to 80 percent sure of the matter.
Lu Ming did not know Mr. Wenbai's status in the government of the Republic of China. He only knew that Mr. Wenbai was a famous figure in the Kuomintang centrist camp. Like Sheng Youde, he opposed the Kuomintang's extreme measures against the Communist Party and advocated the resolution of all disputes.
Negotiate a peaceful settlement.
It stands to reason that such a person would be ostracized in the government, but Mr. Wenbai was Mr. Chiang's confidant and a close confidant, which shows how outstanding his talents are.
Lu Ming thought about it and felt that there was no need to communicate with Kang Ze in advance about this matter. If Kang Ze or the Nanjing Headquarters did not agree with his idea when Soviet experts came to China, then they might as well establish the secret service school outside.
Regardless of whether the Blue Clothes Club accepts his approach, he will continue to do this and make a name for himself.
The reason he doesn't want to talk about it now is because he's afraid that someone will interfere, cause trouble, and mess up the matter.
Just as Lu Ming was thinking about the details of the matter, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and answered it. It turned out to be Kang Ze, asking him to come over.
Lu Ming put down the phone and cursed in his mind: This guy is really good at showing off. He is still on the phone two steps away. He can hear him even if he shouts louder. Besides, doesn't he have an adjutant and a secretary?
When he went out, he saw that Secretary Liu was not at the door. He walked into Kang Ze's office in three steps and found that Adjutant Qi was not there either. They must have been sent to do things by Kang Ze.
"Brother Lu, please sit down." Kang Ze smiled and offered his seat.
"Brother Kang, do you have anything important to do with me?" Lu Ming asked.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I re-read your work plan and found out that there are no measures specifically targeting the underground organizations of the Communist Party in your work plan. Did Brother Lu miss this part in his busy schedule?
?" Kang Ze asked meaningfully.
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, this bastard really found fault, so it seemed like he had no choice but to play hide and seek with him.
Lu Ming asked openly: "Brother Kang, why do you think we established this Blue Clothes Club?"
"Needless to say, of course we are dealing with the Communist Party." Kang Ze said loudly.
"That's right, all our work, including the collection, compilation, analysis, and summary of this intelligence, doesn't have the same purpose: to deal with the Communist Party. Does this need to be specially mentioned?" Lu Ming pretended to be puzzled.
asked.
"Oh, that's right, why didn't I think of this? Damn it, the Japanese have confused my mind these days." Kang Ze slapped his forehead and shouted.
"Brother Kang, there is another point. We are dealing with the Communist Party in practice, but we should not leave any words on how to deal with the Communist Party on paper." Lu Ming added.
"Why is this? We have always openly opposed the Communist Party, there is no need to hide it." Kang Ze really didn't understand.
"Do you think there will be undercover agents of the Communist Party in the Blue Clothes Society in the future? The best way to deal with the Communist Party is to use specific methods for specific matters. If you leave no words, it will be easy to leak the secrets. This is one of them
." Lu Ming lowered his voice and said.
"Uh, this..., what about the second one?" Kang Ze frowned.
