The two of them drank tea, and Lu Ming talked about a lot of things, nothing but bitter water and saliva. He talked so eloquently that Dai Li fell asleep.
Lu Ming knew that what he said and all his complaints would be passed to Mr. Jiang word for word, so when he spoke to Dai Li now, it was equivalent to speaking directly to Mr. Jiang.
Although Dai Li's endurance has reached its limit, he still has to endure it a little longer. He is trying to catch some kind of turning point in Lu Ming's speech. Once that space appears, he must step in immediately and take down Lu Ming in one fell swoop.
What did you get? Of course, Lu Ming agreed to sign and release the funds.
Lu Ming's attitude was very clear last time. As long as he was not allowed to return to Shanghai, he would never sign and give out a penny.
So what Dai Li had to do was to get Lu Ming to give up this attitude and resolve this conflict in a flexible way: people in Nanjing also agreed to sign.
If a problem cannot be solved directly, it must be solved in circles. Dai Li has rich experience in this area.
The best way is to start by restoring the relationship with Lu Ming, and also talk about the work at the Shanghai station.
Dai Li believes that by entering into confidential conversations between colleagues, he can quickly close the psychological distance between the two.
Dai Li's secret action plan did not include Shanghai, because Shanghai Station already had a Spring Rain action plan, and Dai Li used his brains on this issue.
"Sir Lu, the main reason I came here today is to talk to you about the Spring Rain Action Plan." Dai Li said.
"Operation Spring Rain Plan?" Lu Ming understood immediately.
"Yes, I asked Station Director Weng, and he said that this plan was shelved due to lack of funds, so I would like to discuss with you and simply incorporate the Spring Rain Action Plan into the headquarters' overall action plan. What do you think?"
There is a mystery hidden in Dai Li's words.
"Operation Spring Rain is an action against the Japanese. It is mainly to evacuate the personnel at the Shanghai Station and go underground to fight the Japanese for a long time. Can this plan be consistent with the headquarters' plan?" Lu Ming pretended to be confused.
"Chief Lu, this plan can deal with the Japanese, but with a few adjustments, it can be used to infiltrate the underground organizations of the Communist Party, and can also monitor key departments such as the party, government, and army in Shanghai, and find out the hidden secrets in these key departments.
The underground party in the department." Dai Li said.
"Well, Yunong, what you said makes sense, but the staff at the Shanghai station of the Spring Rain Action Plan are basically aware of it and will all participate in it. Wouldn't it be unsafe if it was incorporated into the headquarters' plan?" Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"Sir Lu, this requires your great help. I definitely can't do it on my own." Dai Li complimented.
"Yunong, this is so hypocritical. You can do it all over the country, but you can't do it in Shanghai? How is that possible?" Lu Ming sneered.
"I really feel a pity. We cannot let this Spring Rain Action Plan run aground, otherwise Shanghai will be left blank." Dai Li was a little anxious.
It would be useless even if he immediately planned a plan to replace the Spring Rain Action Plan, because he still needed financial support from Lu Ming. It was better to directly support the Spring Rain Action Plan. After all, most of this plan was written by Lu Ming.
"There will be a blank space in Shanghai? What does this mean?" Lu Ming understood a little more and asked again.
"That is to say, my secret operation did not include Shanghai." Dai Li said with a bitter smile.
"How could this be? I always thought that all information about Shanghai was under Yunong's control." Lu Ming pretended to be surprised.
"No, that's it. I thought that you and Commander Kang's Operation Spring Rain plan had already been launched, so I didn't need to do anything more. The Shanghai Station is originally an important intelligence network for the headquarters." Dai Li explained.
Lu Ming actually has no objection to the implementation of this plan. After all, he fully understands the content of the plan and can tell Mr. Dong to let his people avoid the operatives in the plan. Even if there is a leak problem and too many people are involved, it may not be possible.
suspected him.
The reason why he obstructed the implementation of this action plan was because Weng Bailing wanted to arrest this action and exclude him.
Lu Ming's idea was that if he could not take the initiative in this action, of course he would not approve this action plan.
Now that Dai Li mentioned this action plan again, he felt that it might not be possible to keep putting it off. In that case, Dai Li would probably have to implement an alternative plan, and he still knew nothing about it.
"In that case, let's find a way to start it after I return to Shanghai. The money problem can always be solved if we find a way." Lu Ming said pretending to be convinced.
"Commander Lu is so refreshing and he really listens to his advice." Dai Li said with great joy.
Dai Li really didn't expect that he could convince Lu Ming so easily, and a lot of the rhetoric he originally prepared was useless.
Since Lu Ming promised to find a way to launch the Spring Rain Action Plan, it must be possible. The so-called funding problem can naturally be solved by Lu Ming.
He recalled his conversation with Dai Li and realized something. Since Dai Li was very satisfied with the Spring Rain Operation Plan, it meant that Dai Li's secret operation plan was probably similar in form to the Spring Rain Operation Plan.
Of course, Dai Li's plan targeted all major central cities across the country, but Shanghai was not included when formulating the plan.
But knowing that this is useless, we must still try to get the specific contents of Dai Li's secret action plan.
Lu Ming didn't want to take risks, so he rejected Dai Li's proposal to reveal the content of the plan to him. This was also because there was a limit to how he could help the underground party, and he could not help indefinitely.
Lu Ming could only choose important things to help when it was convenient for him. After all, he was not a Communist.
If you want to understand Dai Li's action plan without risk, you can only make a fuss about Dai Li's report and carefully analyze the expenditures of specific actions in major central cities.
Then by following the clues, you can also get a lot of information. By summarizing these bits and pieces of information, you can have a basic understanding of Dai Li's actions.
Of course, it is impossible to accurately grasp the contents of the action plan, but the information that can be summarized from the financial statements can already provide great help to the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party.
This requires a person to have very strong ability to integrate and analyze various reports. After all, Lu Ming is not a professional financial person, so he obviously has shortcomings in this aspect.
If you want to achieve the ability to analyze and grasp information by comparing and integrating various reports, you can only rely on Sheng Muyi and Yuan Ziyuan, both of whom are professional accountants.
Of course these two girls will listen to him. The problem is how to get their help without making them suspicious. This requires a certain amount of patience and skills.
Of course Lu Ming didn't know that Sheng Muyi was not only the same as him on this road, but also went further. She was already a peripheral member of the underground party. This was different from him. He only regarded the Communist Party as Jin Jiu.
Potential allies.
On the issue of dealing with external invasion and safeguarding national sovereignty, Lu Ming agreed with the political views of the Communist Party. In other aspects, he really didn't understand it yet.
"Yunong, we real people don't tell lies. Before the Spring Rain Action Plan is implemented, I will make it clear. This plan was originally formulated by Chief Kang and I. Before I leave the Fuxing Society, I will not tell lies."
Leave the plan to others."
Lu Ming knew that Dai Li would definitely not object to what he said at this time, not to mention that his words had good reasons and would not be ignored anywhere.
"Sir Lu, even if you don't make this request, I will arrange it this way. I can tell you now that you are fully responsible for the Spring Rain Operation Plan. Anyone at the Shanghai Station, including Weng Bailing, must carry out this plan here.
At your command."
Dai Li's attitude is very clear, and this is also the way he works in other major central cities.
"It's best to have a clear explanation for this, otherwise it won't be easy for me to explain to Station Master Weng." Lu Ming believed that this kind of matter must be confirmed and cannot be vague.
"Concerning how to implement the Spring Rain Action Plan, the headquarters will issue a document. The document will clarify who is in charge of the plan and will also clarify several regulations for the implementation of the plan. One of the most important ones, as I just said, is that all
People must obey you."
After Dai Li said this, he stood up and took the initiative to extend his hand to say goodbye to Lu Ming. Lu Ming smiled and shook hands with Dai Li to show that the two had reached a consensus.
Dai Li left with satisfaction, and Lu Ming took him to the elevator before returning.
Dai Li was in a cheerful mood at the moment, thinking that today's conversation with Lu Ming was very successful. Although he listened to Lu Ming's ramblings for more than an hour, the result was finally good.
After Dai Li returned, he immediately made a detailed report to Mr. Jiang, repeating exactly what Lu Ming said to him.
Mr. Jiang listened very carefully, but he didn't say much. He just said lightly: "His attitude is quite correct this time. It seems that he has done some self-reflection and needs to have a good talk with him."
"That's right, it doesn't matter if he hangs out all the time." Dai Li said anxiously.
"I know you are worried about funding, but this matter is not urgent. Just wait." Mr. Jiang said meaningfully.
Dai Li stood respectfully, a little confused when he heard this. He didn't know what the commissioner meant by saying this. Could it be that even if Lu Ming was released and returned to Shanghai, the funding issue still couldn't be implemented immediately?
