"Even if he is resettled in the future, there will still be many agents protecting him. If your people want to assassinate him, they will pay the price. Is it worth your sacrifice again for a person who is already worthless and harmless?
?" Lu Ming asked puzzledly.
"This is a matter of principle. There is no need to discuss it anymore. You must do what you want to do. I would like to ask, you said that Hou Liang is worthless and will no longer have any effect on the Fuxing Society. Why do you still spend money?
How much money is there to accommodate him?" An Yi said
"This was a promise made to him in advance, so we must abide by it. This is also a principle," Lu Ming said.
"Will the Kuomintang keep its promise? I'm afraid this is an international joke. Whether you believe it or not, I won't believe it even if I'm beaten to death." An Yi sneered.
Lu Ming was speechless by An Yi, but he really believed that Hou Liang's value had been drained out, and the reason why Dai Li still gave him such generous treatment was to keep his promise.
"An Yi..." Mr. Dong quickly called her to prevent her from speaking so bluntly.
"What's the point? Lu Ming is not a member of the Kuomintang. He is a non-party person and a free-spirited person. What I said is right." An Yi said.
After An Yi finished speaking, he finally forced a smile on his face, as if to comfort Lu Ming.
"Why do you want to kill him? First of all, he is no longer a threat to you. In addition, as a revolutionary, he has tried his best. He betrayed the organization out of helplessness, in order to protect his wife and son. He is a man and cannot be seen.
Do you want your woman and young son to be tortured in front of you?" Lu Ming defended somewhat angrily.
"Why not? A revolutionary should not become a coward. Joining the revolutionary ranks requires courage, fearlessness, dedication and sacrifice. He betrayed the organization and the revolution for his own family. This is unforgivable. The other one
The woman is not his wife, she is a woman he found privately, and the marriage was not approved by the organization at all." An Yi said clearly.
"Do you still need approval from the organization to get married?" Lu Ming asked in confusion.
"Of course, don't you need it?" An Yi asked.
"Of course we don't need it." Lu Ming looked at An Yi in surprise.
Lu Ming thought to himself, when you pretended to be a couple at the beginning, of course you needed the organization's approval. Now that you are an official couple, do you need the organization's approval again?
In fact, Lu Ming didn't know the details. The family members of some important figures in the Kuomintang had been investigated by the Fuxing Society, mainly to investigate whether they were suspected of being communists or suspected of collaborating with the communists.
Of course, such investigations will not be conducted on ordinary Kuomintang members and low-level cadres, because they do not have access to confidential information.
Regardless of the party, the purpose of investigating its own internal personnel and their families is to strengthen confidentiality and prevent the leakage of important intelligence.
Not to mention marriage, Lu Ming's joining of the Fuxing Society was also thoroughly investigated. His family, relatives and even close personal friends were all included in the investigation.
To join the Fuxing Society, you must have a reliable and reliable guarantor. Lu Ming's guarantor is Sheng Youde.
"Actually, very few of our comrades have families. Firstly, they want to put all their energy into their work, and secondly, they don't want to be burdened by family." Mr. Dong said with a wry smile.
"Family is not a burden, but warmth, family affection, and the foundation for a person to settle down and live his life." Lu Ming retorted.
"We Communists have a different concept of family than you do. All Communists form one big family. Everyone is brothers and sisters, living together for a common goal." An.
Yi said.
"You are changing the concept. The nature of the party group and the country is different from that of ordinary families." Lu Ming said.
"What about the ancient tribes? Aren't they also one big family?" An Yi said solemnly.
"This can't be counted. You haven't mentioned walking marriage yet. That's a primitive way of life, not modern civilization." Lu Ming simply started talking.
This sentence caused the three people to laugh in unison.
Lu Ming and Mr. Dong have been getting along for a while, and they have become familiar with each other. They talk to each other like friends, but they are free of hypocrisy and clichés.
"Let's go back to Hou Liang. I think Hou Liang's betrayal is a manifestation of human nature. He himself knows that he is a useless person. Even if he is given more glory and wealth, he will not be able to enjoy it. All he wants is
To save the lives of my lover and son. I think this is understandable and forgivable."
Lu Ming continued to discuss this topic with great interest.
"He is first a revolutionary and a member of the Party, and then a husband and a father. Only when a person understands this issue can he be qualified to join the revolutionary ranks." Mr. Dong immediately corrected Lu Ming's "forgiveness" theory.
.
"Mr. Dong, if one day you have a child, just what if, when you fall into the hands of the enemy, the enemy captures An Yi and the child and threatens you with their lives, can you hold on?" Lu
Call out questions of conscience.
"Of course I can hold on, and I must hold on too. When they die, I will die with them." Mr. Dong replied without hesitation.
"It's easy to talk, but if things really happen to you, your thoughts may change." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"It's not what you think. Many of our comrades have withstood such a test. The enemy captured his parents, his brothers and sisters, and used them as threats. These comrades have withstood the test for the revolutionary cause and faced
My relatives were tortured and killed by the enemy, and I will never confess." An Yi said solemnly.
"Ah, is such a thing really possible?" Lu Ming seemed to have been punched in the chest, and the sound he made was abnormal.
"It's not true, but there are many. If you can't withstand such a test, then you are not a qualified revolutionary, let alone a qualified Communist Party member." An Yi said resolutely.
"Of course, there are many people who cannot stand the test and even betray the revolution for the sake of their own glory and wealth. Such people originally snuck into the revolutionary ranks, and sooner or later they will be eliminated during the revolutionary struggle," Mr. Dong said.
Lu Ming listened and pinched himself hard involuntarily. It hurt so much that he quickly rubbed it.
"You can forgive what you said about Hou Liang. It's based on human nature, but we Communists pay attention to the principle of party spirit, and party spirit is higher than human nature. You should understand this truth." An Yi said.
"If a person loses his humanity, then... how can he survive?" Lu Ming shook his head. He couldn't understand what An Yi said, and even found it incredible.
"The human nature you are talking about is just a general biological state. We Communists also value human nature. That is a higher state, a higher level of human nature, and that is party spirit." An Yi said.
Lu Ming opened his mouth and stammered: "I...can't understand it at the moment, and I can't do it."
"Theoretically it may be difficult to understand. Let me give you an example. If one day you are captured by the Japanese, they will also capture your wife and children and force you to reveal state secrets. These state secrets are related to
The security of Shanghai is related to the safety of many families and many people. If you confess, hundreds of people will die and countless families will be destroyed. What will you do? Will you confess?
?" Mr. Dong asked.
"Well, you're just setting this up. First of all, I'm not that important. I can't possibly hold state secrets. Besides, I won't put my family in danger." Lu Ming said, feeling a little guilty.
, because this is indeed a fatal assumption.
If China and Japan went to full-scale war, would he really have the ability and ability to keep his family and friends in a safe situation?
Hasn't Ning Xiner been kidnapped?
Lu Ming suddenly became nervous, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.
"Well, old Dong, please stop talking. Mr. Lu was educated in the United States. Maybe he has a way to allow his family to evacuate China safely." Out of a woman's mentality, An Yi helped Lu Ming make up for it.
Mr. Dong and An Yi looked at each other and smiled, with determination in their expressions. They knew that Lu Ming was very eloquent, and they might not be able to argue with him in a purely logical debate.
But they will never agree with Lu Ming's views on family and life and death, because those are exactly the petty bourgeois ideas that have been criticized in the revolutionary ranks.
Lu Ming has not experienced the severe test and baptism of the revolutionary melting pot. Mr. Dong and An Yi do not want to continue arguing with him for the time being. It is not that they agree with his views, but they disdain to share his common knowledge.
