The mistake has been made, and it is difficult to make amends now. After all, Shanghai Station is not his territory yet. He will not have absolute power until at least next year's reorganization.
Dai Li knew that Lu Ming would be back in a few days. If he ordered any plans now, they might not be effective when Lu Ming came back.
Lu Ming must have his own ideas. Since he does not support the Spring Rain Action Plan, it may be difficult for other plans to pass smoothly.
The biggest possibility is that after next year's reorganization, Lu Ming wants to do something on his own. If he wants to be effective, he will definitely not want to use up resources in advance now.
What made Dai Li even more concerned was that He Zhonghan reminded him many times, openly and secretly, to interfere as little as possible in the affairs of Fuxing Society Shanghai Station, as Lu Ming had his own plans.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang rarely reached a consensus on Lu Ming's application to form a special agent organization. Mr. Wenbai supported it. Don't you think this matter is still a certainty?
Dai Li knew all this, and if this situation continues, Lu Ming may be his biggest competitor in the future.
Dai Li suddenly thought and decided not to express any personal opinions on the Shanghai Station of Fuxing Society. He had to have a good communication with Lu Ming to dispel Lu Ming's wariness or get him to support his new plan.
But there is a premise. We must understand Lu Ming's inner thoughts: Why not support the Spring Rain Action Plan?
The Spring Rain Operation Plan was not just aimed at Shanghai's underground party, but penetrated all departments of Shanghai's party, government and military, and finally achieved the principal's desired goal of controlling the country's party, government and military.
If we only targeted the Communist Party's base areas or underground parties in various places, the scale of the operation would not be as large as it is now, and there would be no need to spend more than one million yuan per month.
What is Lu Ming's reason for opposing the Spring Rain Action Plan? The lack of funds is definitely just an excuse.
Dai Li knew that the Spring Rain Action Plan was originally planned by Kang Ze and Lu Ming. The headquarters thought the plan was very complete and approved it, but why not continue to implement it now?
He couldn't think of any reason, so he could only find an opportunity to ask Lu Ming face to face in the future.
In this case, Dai Li did not issue any more instructions to the Shanghai Station. After all, there is no funds now, and it is empty talk to want the Shanghai Station to operate. It is already good that they can maintain basic offices.
After the meeting, Dai Li was invited to his office for tea by Weng Bailing.
Dai Li sat down and asked in a low voice: "Stationmaster Weng, how have you completed the task that I personally assigned you?"
Weng Bailing was startled when he heard this. He quickly looked around to make sure there was no one in the room, and then he felt relieved.
"Sir Dai, don't I get secret reports every month? Didn't the headquarters receive them?" Weng Bailing's mood suddenly became high.
"Your secret report is too superficial. It is just a running account and contains no valuable information at all." Dai Li said dissatisfied.
"Sir Dai, you don't know. Lu Ming's actions are so secretive. His activities here are normal, and he doesn't have any unusual words or deeds. If he is doing anything outside, he is definitely not doing anything good, but there is no evidence."
"Didn't I ask you to send someone to monitor you?" Dai Li said with a straight face.
"Sir, I also want to, but I can't do it at all. More than half of the people in this building are against him. Who knows if they have money? How can I dare to let these unsteady elements monitor Lu Ming?
Doesn't that expose the principal's intention?" Weng Bailing said helplessly.
"Don't you have an action team under you? Are they working for a living?" Dai Li's tone became more severe.
"Sir, those people are of no help at all. The people of the first action team are in Lu Ming's hands. No one else can get in, and neither can I. The people of the second team have just been replenished, and we have to check whether they are reliable. I don't dare to do it for the time being.
Use them easily."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Weng Bailing's forehead. Although what he said was true, it was obvious that he had not completed the special task assigned to him by the principal. This could only show his incompetence and could not explain any problems.
Dai Li was silent in thought. He actually didn't understand what the principal meant by sending someone to monitor Lu Ming.
Dai Li knew that the principal was worried about Sheng, but hadn't he already monitored Sheng in all aspects? Why did he still keep an eye on Lu Ming?
However, these questions could only be kept in his mind. Of course Dai Li did not dare to ask the principal. All he could do was to implement them resolutely.
The surveillance of Sheng was personally directed by Dai Li, and he knew that the principal's surveillance of Sheng had already begun, and it was not only him who was doing it, but other action teams were also doing it.
On the surface, Dai Li is now the actual head of the Fuxing Society. In fact, the principal has never let go and has stepped in to issue some secret instructions from time to time.
"Sir, you came to Shanghai this time not because of Lu Ming's matter, right?" Weng Bailing asked cautiously.
"Of course not, I'm just asking casually. You must be responsible to the committee alone for this matter. You must understand that you are promoted to the position of webmaster not because you are outstanding, but because you are better suited to do it than others."
This matter." Dai Li reminded him.
"I understand my humble position and will never let down the expectations of the commission." Weng Bailing straightened his chest and said.
"That's good. If you never show results, I'm afraid your position will be replaced by someone else in the end, and no one can protect you at that time." Dai Li said solemnly.
"You must work hard to complete your mission." Weng Bailing was sweating all over and his clothes were almost soaked.
Weng Bailing knew that Dai Li was not trying to scare him, and was telling the truth.
"Sir Dai, can you please give me some advice on what aspects of Lu Ming's movements should the committee member know about?" Weng Bailing asked, blinking his eyes.
"Don't ask me about this. Just do whatever the commission tells you. I can't give you any advice." Dai Li said coldly.
"Well, then I will keep an eye on him from all directions to ensure that I get important evidence." Weng Bailing rubbed his hands.
"By the way, how are the Caobang's recent trends?" Dai Li changed the topic.
The question Dai Li just asked was just casual, and it did not have any special meaning. After all, this matter was not a task assigned by him, but was handled by the commission himself, and he did not dare to interfere casually.
"Caobang..."
The topic changed so quickly and urgently that Weng Bailing's mind couldn't turn around at once.
"Yes, aren't there some of you who are keeping an eye on the Caobang?" Dai Li reminded.
"None of us are keeping an eye on the Caogang? Why should we keep an eye on them?" Weng Bailing was still confused and didn't know what Dai Li meant.
"How come no one is keeping an eye on them? For an organization as big as the Qinghong Gang and the Cao Gang, you don't have anyone keeping an eye on them?" Dai Li was very surprised. This should be the basic work of the intelligence organization.
A local gang organization is like a barometer of the area. If there is any disturbance in society, the gang will respond.
The influence of gang organizations in Shanghai is only a handful in the country, but the Shanghai Station of the Fuxing Society has not taken them into consideration, and there is still such a thing.
"The headquarters has never assigned us such a task?" Weng Bailing said plausibly, although he felt a little guilty.
"This is common sense, why does it need to be arranged? Just like you have a mouth, do you know what it is used for? The loopholes in Shanghai's intelligence network are too big, completely beyond his imagination." Dai Li now
I was also a little confused.
In his opinion, the basic task of the Shanghai Station is to control the overall situation in Shanghai, and the movements of the Qinghong Gang and the Cao Gang are, of course, within this scope, and there is no need for headquarters to remind them of such matters.
Dai Li felt very disappointed. He also knew that Weng Bailing had not been in charge of the station for long. In the past, he was only the director of Intelligence Division 6 and lacked an overall view and perspective.
But as an agent, if this string is missing in the brain, even if you are loyal to the leader and the party and the country, it will be difficult to achieve success.
Dai Li then thought again. When Weng Bailing took over as the webmaster, Kang Ze should have handed over the work situation in this area to him. Since Kang Ze did not hand it over, it means that there is no such task at all.
"When Chief Kang left Shanghai Station, didn't he hand over to you the basic information about Shanghai gang organizations?" Dai Li still asked.
"If he didn't give it to me, would he give it to Lu Ming? He had many secret operations that he didn't tell me at all," Weng Bailing complained.
"Well, gave it to Lu Ming? That's also possible." Dai Li nodded.
Dai Li knew that Lu Ming had carried out some secret operations, such as the Hongkou Park bombing that shocked the world. That secret operation brought glory to the Chairman's face, and Lu Ming received a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal for it.
But will Lu Ming monitor the Qinghong Gang and the Cao Gang, especially the Cao Gang? It's almost impossible.
Who doesn't know the relationship between Lu Ming and the Cao Gang? The leader of the gang, Ning Zetao, is his uncle. Director Gao of the Military Law Department once tried to use this method to break through Lu Ming's defense, but obviously failed.
Through hidden lines, Dai Li also knew that Caobang had always been alienated from Lu Ming in the past, but they had this special relationship after all.
This shows that Lu Ming is indeed a very dangerous person. This is Dai Li's inner definition of Lu Ming. This kind of person cannot be dealt with by conventional means.
