Lu Ming thought for a while, and Kang Ze was right. Next year, the elders like He Zhonghan and Gui Yongqing will quit the Fuxing Society. From now on, the Fuxing Society may really be Dai Li's world.
Now Dai Li is actually managing the daily affairs of the Fuxing Society Headquarters, and He Zhonghan has basically retreated behind the scenes.
"Brother Lu, to be honest with you, I really don't want to go back to Jiangxi. If I were asked to form a special force again, I would work hard, but in the end it would be useless. Once the Communist Party comes, they will all be killed.
Mother surrendered and handed over her gun. What if I become a prisoner one day? How can I show my face to others?" Kang Ze said after taking a sip of wine.
He was really psychologically affected. It's not that he was afraid of war. After all, he was a soldier and crawled out of a mountain of blood. If he was allowed to serve in an elite army, of course he would be happy, but let him organize it himself.
He was really scared of a miscellaneous army.
Although the members of the special forces he formed were carefully selected and underwent rigorous training, they were not regular armies after all. Once put into actual combat, their true colors immediately emerged.
After Kang Ze returned to Nanjing, Mr. Chiang only summoned him once, scolded him, and asked him to rest in Nanjing for a while before returning to Jiangxi to reorganize the special forces and continue fighting against the Communist Party.
This was also the reason why he was depressed. He knew that it was useless to do so. Not to mention fighting against the regular troops of the Communist Party, even when encountering guerrillas, his Rangers would be vulnerable.
"Brother, you were bitten by a snake once. You have been afraid of well ropes for ten years. What are you afraid of if you fail once? Back then, Zeng Wenzhenggong was wiped out many times and was cornered by the Taiping Army. Didn't you survive it?" Lu Ming
smiled.
Zeng Guofan was one of the figures whom Mr. Chiang admired most. Mr. Chiang had discussed Zeng Guofan's military strategy with his cronies many times.
In the process of fighting against the Taiping Army, Zeng Guofan did not expect that he would be vulnerable to a single blow on the battlefield after working so hard to raise funds, recruit warriors, and purchase weapons.
Not to mention the inability to explain to the court and the families of the soldiers who died in the battle, even the spit of those officials in Changsha City could drown him.
Thinking of this, Zeng Guofan was so ashamed and angry that he turned over and jumped into the river.
The military advisor who was accompanying him, Zhang Shoulin, had already noticed that something was wrong with Zeng Guofan, and asked his soldiers to guard Zeng Guofan in advance. As soon as Zeng Guofan jumped into the river, these soldiers who were familiar with water immediately went into the water to search and rescue, and dragged Zeng Guofan away after drinking a few mouthfuls of dirty water.
Got on the boat.
Marshal Zeng got on the boat, but his thoughts were still in the river. He took advantage of the unpreparedness of his soldiers and jumped in again. However, Zhang Shoulin and others were exhausted and had to accompany Marshal Zeng down the river again.
Zeng Guofan, who had "repeated defeats and fought many battles", was indeed defeated, but he was not discouraged and risked his life to fight the Taiping Army to the end.
It was with this courage and determination to refuse to admit defeat that he finally led the Hunan Army to create a miracle in the world's military history, replacing the regular imperial army with militiamen and defeating the Taiping Army.
"I don't have Zeng Wenzheng's ability to stand up. I survived this time. Who knows if I will have a chance to stand up next time? I might die in battle. Although it is a soldier's duty to die in battle, this kind of death
It's not worth it." Kang Ze said helplessly.
The two of them were drinking and talking, and before they knew it, Kang Ze finished a bottle of Bamboo Leaf Green, and Lu Ming also drank a bottle of whiskey along with him. Maybe it was because of their mood, but neither of them was drunk.
Lu Ming didn't dare to get drunk. In his current situation, he had to stay awake at all times.
The more nothing happened on the surface, the tighter the strings in his heart became.
These days, Lu Ming has been thinking over every step he took in this matter, looking for possible doubts.
Although he could not think of any possible loopholes in what he did, since Mr. Chiang used the Military Justice Department to bring him to Nanjing, there was a high possibility that there were problems that he had not considered.
Could it be that Weng Bailing reported something to Mr. Jiang?
Lu Ming suddenly thought of this and said, "By the way, Brother Kang, was it you who recommended Weng Bailing to take over as the webmaster of Shanghai Station?"
"No, it was decided directly by the higher-ups. What's wrong?" Kang Ze was a little dazed. He didn't know why Lu Ming asked this.
"It's nothing, I just think that for such an important position as the Shanghai station director, Weng Bailing's abilities are somewhat lacking." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"I said, brother, why are you so serious? You will leave next year. Don't worry about the affairs of the Fuxing Society anymore. You should learn from He Zhonghan and be a hands-off shopkeeper and enjoy your leisure time." Kang Ze said.
"I want to let go, but this bastard is always trying to oppose me. I can't tolerate him everywhere," Lu Ming said.
"Ah, Weng Bailing dares to go against you? Where does this kid have such courage?" Kang Ze said in a daze.
"So I'm wondering, who is this guy's backstage and who is supporting him?" Lu Ming asked knowingly, but he was worried that there were details that he didn't know.
"Actually, I'm not very clear about this matter. The original appointment was issued directly by the headquarters and was not recommended by me. You will understand if I say this." Kang Ze said meaningfully.
"What do you mean by entrusting a seat?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I think so," Kang Ze said with a bitter smile.
Kang Ze was really envious of Weng Bailing at this moment. Not only could he stay in Shanghai and enjoy the blessings, but he could also achieve political achievements.
"Then does he have any special relationship with the committee?" Lu Ming asked.
"I haven't heard of this, but..."
Kang Ze leaned his head over and whispered: "There is no particular pattern in appointing people. Look at Dai Yunong, wasn't he also selected by the committee with his unique vision? When we established the Blue Clothes Club, was Dai Yunong a figure?"
Look at it now."
"Well, you're right, it's a wise appointment." Lu Ming said perfunctorily with a smile on his face.
He didn't want to ask any more questions about how Weng Bailing came to power. Kang Ze probably didn't know the inside story very well.
However, Lu Ming had other doubts in his mind. If Weng Bailing relied on Mr. Jiang's support to oppose him, then the promotion of Weng Bailing to webmaster is thought-provoking.
Could it be that Mr. Jiang has long been suspicious of himself?
Of course he knew that the incident in which he helped the Cao Gang escape last time had already been investigated, but wasn't the purpose of a shipload of arms just to make some money? Why did he pursue it so closely?
"Brother, you don't have to worry too much. I think the committee really wants to reuse you. Now is just a testing period. Let's put it this way, we have all been tested in the past." Kang Ze persuaded.
"To test you through confinement?" Lu Ming asked in surprise.
"That's not true, but it's much more dangerous than confinement. Going to the battlefield to fight. What do you think of this test?"
Kang Ze laughed, maybe he was thinking of the turbulent years he had spent on the battlefield in the early years. Although he was not yet middle-aged, he already felt a little old.
Lu Ming nodded, agreeing with his statement.
The two chatted for a while, and Kang Ze wanted to open a bottle of wine, but Lu Ming stopped him, saying that he was too drunk and couldn't drink with him anymore.
Kang Ze heard what he said and had no choice but to give up. In fact, he also knew that if he continued to drink, he would definitely get drunk, and he was already 70 to 80% drunk now.
Before coming here, he had made plans to get drunk with Lu Ming, but now he felt really miserable and had nowhere to pour the bitterness.
However, my conversation with Lu Ming became more prosperous and my mood improved a lot. I originally wanted to talk through the drunkenness, but now I have said everything I should say. It doesn't matter whether I'm drunk or not.
Kang Ze's knot in his heart was finally resolved. He now had a way out. If he couldn't, he would go with Lu Ming to set up the secret intelligence office next year.
However, he also understood that he could not choose where he would go in the future, it would still be decided by the commission.
If you find someone close to the commission to intercede for you and approve him to cooperate with Lu Ming, the possibility of such a thing still exists.
Thinking of this, Kang Ze felt much better, and the gloom that had accumulated in his heart for many days temporarily disappeared.
Before bidding farewell, Kangze mentioned this matter again and said: "I want to fight for it in front of the committee. When I work with you in the future, you must accept me."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "If it really comes to that point, you will still be the leader and I will be your assistant, just like before."
"Brother Lu, you are rejecting me. I am joining you, not you joining me." Kang Ze waved his hands repeatedly.
The two of them laughed and chatted for a few more words.
After Lu Ming saw Kang Ze off, his mood did not relax.
Through Kang Ze's words, he felt that he had been targeted by Mr. Jiang for a long time, and the reason for targeting him was the arms smuggling incident of the Caobang. If this was true, then the Caobang had also been targeted a long time ago.
He immediately realized where he had made a mistake: he should not have borrowed Caobang's ships to transport the arms.
When he thought of this, he couldn't sit still. He wanted to call Ning Zetao right away, but he didn't dare to make the call. He couldn't be sure whether the phone here was being monitored.
