Lu Ming and two Soviet bearded men, Andrei and Peter, discussed that the salary of the Soviet experts was one thousand dollars a month, which was a very high salary.
It is precisely because of the attraction of these favorable conditions that those experts are willing to travel thousands of miles to help China train agents.
Of course, there is another reason why the Soviet spy organization actively recommends them to come to China. If there are a group of Soviet students in China's intelligence agencies, they will have a very good foundation to carry out intelligence activities against China in the future.
Or carry out intelligence activities against third countries through China’s intelligence agencies, which means that China’s intelligence agencies will have a lineage of Soviet intelligence work.
Lu Ming opened a bottle of vodka and took out two cans of meat. He and Andre drank slowly while chatting about some precautions for establishing an agent school.
As he was talking, suddenly the phone rang.
Lu Ming picked up the phone and heard Sheng Muyi's breathless voice: "Lu Ming, hurry up. Du Juan has been arrested by them?"
"What? Say it again." Lu Ming suddenly felt his breathing become short of breath.
"People from the security headquarters captured Du Juan. When I heard the news, I hurried over. He has been taken away. You should go and get him." Sheng Muyi's tone was a little panicked.
"Did someone from the security headquarters arrest him?" Lu Ming asked.
"Yes, it was the military police from the garrison headquarters who caught him."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go right away to see what's going on." Lu Ming said.
He put down the phone and apologized to Andre: "Mr. Andre, I'm sorry, I have to go out quickly and can't drink with you anymore."
"Go quickly, your government is so shameful, arresting people indiscriminately on the street without asking any questions." Andre said with a look of contempt.
Lu Ming first called Huang Yanning and asked him to meet him at the security headquarters. Then he went downstairs and drove to the security headquarters.
Lu Ming saw Huang Yanning in front of the gate of the security headquarters.
"Sir Lu, what happened?"
"Did they catch Du Juan?" Lu Ming said.
"Miss Dujuan? How is that possible? Why did they arrest her?" Huang Yanning was stunned.
"I don't know what's going on. I just got the news. Go and save people quickly." Lu Ming said.
The commander of the Songhu Garrison Command has been replaced. It is not the original General Yang Hu, but another confidant of Mr. Chiang.
Because General Yang Hu got the job of commander of the Songhu Garrison Command, he couldn't help but become arrogant and licentious, and he no longer respected Mr. Jiang as before. As a result, he was left idle and assigned a sinecure position in the Ministry of National Defense.
However, everyone in the garrison headquarters knew Huang Yanning. Under his leadership, Lu Ming had a smooth journey to meet the new commander.
Of course this commander knew Lu Ming, they were talking together last night.
"Brother Lu, why are you here?" The commander was very enthusiastic and offered his seat and asked someone to make tea.
"Commander, your men arrested the wrong person. They arrested Commander Lu's girlfriend." Huang Yanning said with a bitter smile.
"Your girlfriend? Who is she?" The commander was surprised.
"Miss Dujuan, the manager of Sheng's Spinning Factory." Lu Ming said.
"Oh, I have no impression. Let me ask." The commander picked up the phone.
There were so many people arrested in the past two days that the commander, of course, couldn't remember who they all arrested. They made an arrest plan based on the lists compiled by the Fuxing Society, the Police Headquarters, and themselves.
So far, thousands of people have been arrested. There is an atmosphere of white terror similar to that of the April 12 Massacre, and there is an overcrowding phenomenon in the cells of the security headquarters.
It can be said that every Shanghai citizen is frightened and everyone is in danger. People without formal jobs are hiding in their houses and do not dare to go out on the streets because there are rumors that the police are patrolling the streets and many people who go out on the streets have been arrested.
The commander called to inquire about the situation, and after checking for a long time, he reported that a man named Du Juan had indeed been arrested, and he was the manager of the spinning mill.
"What was the reason for arresting her?" the commander asked.
"She is an active member of the trade union established by the Communist Party and is suspected of collaborating with the Communist Party." The captain of the special agent brigade officially reported.
The voice coming through the phone was very clear. The commander held the phone and looked at Lu Ming without making a sound.
"Damn, that's complete nonsense." Lu Ming got angry on the spot.
Lu Ming was an important figure in the Fuxing Society and was rumored to be Mr. Jiang's key training target. Of course, he did not need to be as cautious as before in speaking at the garrison headquarters.
"My girlfriend is a cotton mill manager. She may also participate in some trade union activities. This is normal, right? Why is she labeled as a Communist Party activist? Who provided this information?"
The commander also had a headache. He didn't know who provided the arrest list. It was probably reported by informants. This operation did involve too many arrests. Of course he knew that, but since the higher-ups wanted to cause white terror
The atmosphere was such that he could only obey.
"Commander, hurry up and let me go. They must have arrested the wrong person. Miss Du Juan cannot be a communist. This round of arrests is a bit excessive," Huang Yanning said.
"Brother Lu, you are here in person, so I have to give you this face. However, I have the right to arrest people but not the right to release them. This is not to shirk. To release people without trial, I need a warrant from Commander Dai of your Fuxing Society.
Okay." The commander spread his hands and said.
"I'm from the Fuxing Society. Can I issue an order? Do I have to be a commander?" Lu Ming suppressed his anger and said.
"Brother Lu, this is not a rule made by me, but an order personally given by you, Commander He, on behalf of the commission." The commander said helplessly.
"The more you talk, the more mysterious you become. I'll call Chief He now and see what he says." Lu Ming said and anxiously called He Zhonghan.
He Zhonghan answered the phone, and the two of them murmured for a while, talking about what He Zhonghan reported to the committee about the situation in Shanghai after returning, the committee's attitude towards what happened in Shanghai, etc.
Lu Ming couldn't help it anymore and said: "Brother, I'm at the Songhu Security Headquarters now. You know what I'm here for. It's ridiculous. My girlfriend was arrested by the military police. I came to protect her, but it turned out that she was
Without your order, we cannot release him."
"It's ridiculous. Ask them to release him quickly. This is not playing the piano randomly." He Zhonghan laughed.
"Sir He, I can vouch for this, and I will be responsible for any problems found in the future." Lu Ming also gave He Zhonghan a guarantee, which was actually giving him a step down.
"I'm sorry, brother, this really flooded the Dragon King Temple. Maybe the people below got the information wrong. You ask the security commander to answer the phone, and I'll tell him to let him go." He Zhonghan immediately expressed his position.
The commander took the phone, hummed a few times, hung up the phone, and smiled.
"Brother Lu, I heard that you have an unusual relationship with Commander He. I still didn't believe it. Now I believe it. Please take care of me in the future." The commander's attitude immediately became more attentive.
He personally took Lu Ming and Huang Yanning down, and then asked his subordinates to take Du Juan out of the prison.
Seeing Lu Ming, Du Juan was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and said with a smile: "Master Lu, are you here to take me out?"
"Yes, Mu Yi said that you were arrested, so I came over quickly. Come with me."
Lu Ming grabbed Du Juan's hand, held it and walked out, as if he was afraid that she would be caught back.
Lu Ming, Du Juan and Huang Yanning hurried out of the security headquarters. The commander led his entourage all the way to the gate, apologizing again and again.
Lu Ming also said a few polite words, and then agreed to treat the commander to a drink and a show when he was free.
Lu Ming drove Du Juan home. Seeing the situation, Huang Yanning found it inconvenient to be caught in the middle, so he went back by himself.
Halfway through the car, Lu Ming suddenly asked: "Du Juan, are you really joining the Communist Party?"
Lu Ming was really worried. Although many people were arrested indiscriminately in this round of raids, they were all innocent people and outsiders without any foundation.
Du Juan is now the manager of Sheng's Spinning Factory. If the security headquarters doesn't have any evidence, they probably won't arrest her.
"Master Lu, I didn't join the Communist Party. Really, I just participated in some of their activities, which were activities organized by the trade union."
"You didn't write any paper materials for them, did you?" This was what Lu Ming was most worried about.
"They forced me to write. I had nothing to write and I was still hesitating. The trade union activities I participated in were mainly against the dumping of goods by Japanese trading companies in China, and nothing else." Du Juan explained.
"This is serious enough. Fortunately you didn't write it. From now on, you will definitely not admit that you have participated in trade union activities, just say you don't know anything." Lu Ming reminded.
