Lu Ming wanted to mobilize An Gonggen's troops to guard the building, but he couldn't be too aggressive, otherwise there would be flaws.
Just saying that casually can be regarded as a foreshadowing.
Lu Ming didn't know where the situation would develop, and he didn't know if this would be useful. Anyway, let's just treat it as a foreshadowing.
The two came to the conference room on the second floor, which was already full of people, and they were waiting for Lu Ming.
Seeing him come in, Dai Li came up to him with a happy face and said: "Sir Lu, the incident happened suddenly yesterday. I was worried that the news would be leaked, so I immediately took action to arrest him without having time to ask you for instructions. You won't blame me, right?"
?”
"Yunong, what you said is wrong. Now you are the head of the Fuxing Society. You have the final say on everything. You don't need to ask anyone for instructions." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"No, Shanghai Station is the territory of the road commander. How dare I overstep his authority?" Dai Liyan confessed insincerely.
"Yunong is joking, no matter where you are, it belongs to the party-state, not anyone else's territory. It is our common responsibility to complete the tasks of the party-state." Lu Ming is now talking big words, one after another.
They both sat down while chatting and laughing.
Although Dai Li repeatedly gave in, Lu Ming still asked him to sit down at the front seat. He and Weng Bailing sat on either side of Dai Li.
Dai Li looked at all the cadres of the Shanghai Station of Fuxing Society and said with a smile: "On behalf of the headquarters, I congratulate the Shanghai Station for another new contribution. This time the contribution is not small. It is enough to promote all the cadres to one level. Of course I am talking about the middle-level cadres."
, where will Chief Lu be promoted? I, Dai Yunong, am not qualified to speak."
Everyone laughed and applauded enthusiastically.
It should be said that the cadres at the Shanghai Station of Fuxing Society are basically middle- and low-level officers, and those who have been promoted to lieutenant colonel are already rare.
Huang Yanning was promoted to lieutenant colonel on the recommendation of Sheng Youde because of the battle to defend the garden. Because he was promoted to lieutenant colonel, Lu Ming had the opportunity to recommend him to become the deputy chief of the Shanghai Station of Fuxing Society.
And Zhao Yuanliang is just a major now.
The last time the Fuxing Society made great achievements, only Weng Bailing was promoted from colonel to colonel. This time, he has no hope of promotion.
Lu Ming had just been awarded the rank of major general, so of course he couldn't be promoted to lieutenant general right away. Even if he made the first contribution this time, or even if all the credit was attributed to him alone, he wouldn't be qualified to be promoted to lieutenant general.
"This time we successfully arrested the main leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the Underground Party and completely destroyed this important organ of the underground party. This is also based on the last action taken against the Municipal Working Committee of the Underground Party. Although there was no
We caught one person, but we collected important information by following the clues and laid a good foundation for this operation." Dai Li made an impassioned speech.
"Chief Dai is too modest. I think all the credit goes to Chief Dai. Do you think so?" Weng Bailing interjected. He wanted to take the lead in applauding, but Dai Li stopped him with a look.
"So, I would like to especially thank Commander Lu here today. The last operation was personally directed by Commander Lu." Dai Li ignored Weng Bailing's objection and continued.
"Yunong, you are just embellishing me. Although we made great achievements last time, it cannot be compared with this time. This time the operation was personally directed by Commander Dai. Station Commander Weng was right just now.
All the credit goes to Commander Dai." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Everywhere is the result of everyone's joint efforts, not the credit of any one person." Dai Li said quickly.
No matter which sub-station takes credit, it will ultimately be attributed to Dai Li. Of course, if a major accident occurs at any sub-station, Dai Li will ultimately bear the responsibility. This is what the main leaders should bear.
Of course Dai Li would not say that all the credit this time should go to him. If he really said that, it would chill everyone's hearts.
It's no big deal that Weng Bailing is ignorant and flatters him blindly. But Lu Ming also expressed his stance and adjusted his position even higher. Did he want to trick him?
Dai Li expressed doubts about this, and felt that Lu Ming and he were matched.
In fact, Dai Li wanted to let Lu Ming lead the team to preside over the arrest yesterday and test whether Lu Ming was a Communist. However, this operation was too important and Dai Li did not dare to take the risk.
At the last minute before the big team set off, Dai Li made an inner decision to skip Lu Ming in this arrest operation.
Dai Li then explained the main situation, mainly Hou Liang's defection. He also mentioned the conditions promised to Hou Liang, which required Lu Ming to pay for the expenses.
"Sir Lu, I privately promised to give Hou Liang a one-time settlement allowance, monthly living expenses and security expenses, and a house. It should be fine, right? In order to get Hou Liang to cooperate proactively, I also risked my life and the conditions of the promise.
It's a bit too much." Dai Li asked uneasily.
"Of course there is no problem. The cost is only about 15,000 yuan. I can pay it myself. Living expenses of 300 yuan per month and security expenses of 500 yuan are no problem." Lu Ming agreed.
Lu Ming did not blame Hou Liang for defecting. If someone threatened him with Mingzhu's life, he might agree to cooperate. Hou Liang's ability to withstand torture and insist not to confess has proven his character.
Of course, this is his idea. If he follows the underground party's policies, Hou Liang is a standard traitor, and he is a traitor who has caused heavy losses to the underground party.
Central Special Branch left him only one way, and that was death.
However, Hou Liang also knew that the result would be like this. He would have no way out after all, but the Communist Party would never kill his woman and children because of this.
Lu Ming did not set any obstacles to the conditions promised by Dai Li, because Dai Li had really made great achievements in leading the Shanghai Station this time. If he still resisted at this time, he would be ignorant of current affairs.
More importantly, if Lu Ming's attitude is slightly contradictory, it will not only offend Dai Li, but also the comrades at the Shanghai Station of Fuxing Society will immediately feel disgusted with him.
Everyone is waiting for Dai Li to report the results to Nanjing in excitement and upgrade all comrades to one level. Whoever pours cold water on him at this time will become a drowned rat first.
Lu Ming understands that only by following the trend can he accomplish great things. This is the advice Sheng Youde gave him.
"That's good, a piece of my heartache is finally gone." Dai Li said with relief.
The conditions Dai Li promised were indeed very generous, with a settlement fee of 10,000 yuan, and a residence costing about 4,000 yuan. It was impossible to just buy a private house, it had to be a detached house with security.
Dai Li is not ready to kill the donkey. He needs all kinds of people to serve him, some by designation, some by cooperation, and some even by mutual use.
On the one hand, people like Hou Liang can be more or less useful in the future. As a living specimen, they can instigate rebellion against other underground parties.
On the other hand, it can set an example. Those who are caught in the future may be shaken when they see the huge benefits brought by Hou Liang's rebellion.
"Yunong, did you get any important information from the mouths of these important underground party figures?" Lu Ming asked.
"Not yet. Two people have been recruited, but there is no very important information. The rest of them have not recruited anything other than recognizing their identities and positions. There is no need to worry about this matter. If we catch people, we will always get what we want.
What you want." Dai Li introduced briefly.
Lu Ming couldn't help being shocked. Two people had already confessed. It seemed that Shanghai was going to experience another bloody storm. Mr. Dong and An Yi had to be notified of this matter as soon as possible, and their safety had become a new issue.
"Then we have to strike while the iron is hot and close the net quickly, otherwise all the big fish will run away." Weng Bailing couldn't help but add another sentence. It was as if he had not said it before. No one seemed to listen.
"What strategy did Chief Dai use to pry open their mouths this time? Did they be sentenced?" Lu Ming asked curiously.
"I didn't use torture this time. According to what Chief Lu told me last time, focus on the heart first and talk slowly one by one. If you have something to say, talk it over. Hou Liang is the best example." Dai Li showed a weird smile.
.
Dai Li was really inspired by Lu Ming. After using torture on Hou Liang to no avail, he thought it was better to attack Hou Liang's heart.
What is meant by attacking one's heart is to attack the opponent's weakness.
What is a man's weakness? It is his family, his wife and children, of course it may also be his parents, or his lover, in short, it is the people he cares about.
As long as people have emotions, they will have weaknesses. If you follow this weakness, you will become a weak spot.
Thinking of this, Dai Li suddenly thought of another question: What is Ning Xiner's weakness?
