Sheng Muyi did not dance, but retreated to the tea seat in the corner of the hall. In her words, there was not a single man in the room that she liked.
Lu Ming came out of the young marshal's study and came to the hall. Seeing this scene, he felt a little embarrassed and hurried over to chat affectionately with Sheng Muyi.
Lu Ming remembered that Sheng Muyi really didn't like to dance. It seemed that she just danced a few times with him, and she would not participate in ordinary dances at all.
"Well, how are you getting along with Miss Zhao Si?" Lu Ming asked Sheng Muyi on the way back.
"What else can you do? You also know that the social world is full of hypocrisy, exaggeration and extravagance. None of it is real. The so-called social etiquette is just a means to cover up these hypocritical natures. In fact, I envy you. I have always
If I don't get involved in social situations, I don't have this freedom." Sheng Muyi sighed.
"Actually, you can't say that. Social occasions are also a good place for interpersonal communication. If you can see the essence through the hypocrisy, it is not a waste of time." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Why go to all that trouble? Can't you just talk about something? Why do you have to flatter each other in a roundabout way?" Sheng Muyi said proudly.
Lu Ming nodded helplessly. The so-called interpersonal communication is nothing more than establishing new interpersonal relationships. People who want to do this have a purpose. It is nothing more than using interpersonal relationships to open up certain links and do something.
The rich young lady Sheng Muyi doesn't seem to have this need. People usually ask for help from her, so how can she ask for help from others? Since a person has nothing to ask for, why bother to curry favor with others.
In fact, Lu Ming is not used to social situations. He still likes to drink and chat with his friends. Sincere interactions with friends can enrich a person's soul.
A frivolous social occasion may seem lively and lively, but in fact everyone has their own agenda, which makes people feel guilty.
"Let's not talk about that. I just discussed the current situation in North China with Han Qing and his subordinates. They all hope that Han Qing will raise his banner and fight back to North China while the Japanese are doing tricks in North China." Lu Lu.
Ming sighed.
"Han Qing's army is now under the control of Mr. Jiang. Does he have the strength? Are the Japanese really interested in North China?" Sheng Muyi has not seen Guo Songtao recently and cannot get any more information.
"The Japanese will not be willing to stay in the Northeast. They have greater ambitions. You can be sure that they are currently instigating traitors big and small to secretly plan the 'autonomy of the five provinces of North China (Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Chahar, Suiyuan)'"
." Lu Ming's expression became serious, and there was an indescribable tangle between his eyebrows.
"How did you get that information? Is it true or false?" Sheng Muyi was still in doubt.
Early this morning, Mr. Dong called Lu Ming, who lives in the secret service school, and told him that he had received a secret message. Lu Ming knew as soon as he heard it that it was intelligence sent by the Japanese liaison station.
Lu Ming immediately rushed back to Wanguo Apartment and translated the message on the spot. After learning the content of the intelligence, he was stunned. This was a major event.
Without saying a word, Lu Ming immediately went to find Mr. Dong and sent a special call to Mr. Chiang in Nanjing. This was equivalent to two things happening in one incident. The leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would get this information at the same time.
Lu Ming then drove to Sheng Mansion, met with Sheng Youde, and briefly reported the intelligence sent by the Japanese Liaison Station of the Secret Intelligence Service.
Of course Sheng Muyi had a rough idea.
At first, Lu Ming also doubted whether this was a rumor deliberately spread by the Japanese, because the Japanese were keen on doing such things, so-called true and false, false and true, and they never tire of deceit.
If it is false information, the purpose is to try to lead China to misjudge Japan's strategy.
The Northeast Liaison Station sent a piece of information via secret telegram two days ago, clearly telling Lu Ming that this was secret information obtained from the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Even so, Lu Ming did not dare to completely believe it.
Fortunately, the content of the intelligence is currently just a plan and will not be implemented for the time being. There is plenty of time to identify it.
Originally, according to Lu Ming's idea, the agents sent out would not perform any tasks for at least two years after entering the new environment. They would only focus on survival, familiarize themselves with the environment, establish good interpersonal relationships, and completely integrate into the surrounding environment.
However, the situation was so special that agents from the Japanese Liaison Station risked their lives to send a secret telegram to Lu Ming, confirming the authenticity of the Northeast Liaison Station's intelligence.
The reason why the agents at the Japanese liaison station were able to obtain such important information was directly related to one person, and that person was Kenda.
Qiantian somehow knew about the existence of Lu Ming's secret intelligence office and also knew that Lu Ming was training agents.
One time while drinking with Lu Ming, Kenta offered to help Lu Ming's agents enter the government and military institutions in Northeast China and Japan, and help them gain a foothold and even enter some key departments.
Lu Ming asked him how he knew about the secret service school, and Qian Tian laughed.
"Your Republic of China government is like a dilapidated house with air leakage from all sides. Is there anything else that can be kept secret?" Qian Tian said.
"Then why are you willing to help us? This is no small matter?" Lu Ming asked tentatively.
Although the two were good friends, Qiantian's behavior was almost treasonous. It was hard for Lu Ming to believe that Qiantian really wanted to do this.
No matter how much suffering a person suffers, he will always have feelings for his country. A person who betrays his country is equivalent to betraying his ancestors. He would only do this unless he is greedy for profit and loses his reason.
Kenda is obviously not such a person. He has no hatred for his motherland, only deep regret.
"As long as it can prevent a war between China and Japan, I will fight tooth and nail, and of course I will not tolerate so-called traitors," Kenta said.
Lu Ming didn't speak. He had to think carefully about the consequences of doing so. If he really asked Qiantian to help his agents, it would be equivalent to handing over the lives of these people.
"You don't need to doubt me. I and my family hold this view and have been doing our best to prevent the soldiers from expanding their ambitions and brutal behaviors. They seem to be conquering cities and expanding territories for the country, but this is not the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties.
Time has passed, human beings have entered modern civilization, and war can only bring death and hatred, but cannot bring any glory or benefit." Qiantian explained.
"Do you think the Japanese military's war desire and aggressive intentions can be stopped?" Lu Ming asked.
"No matter how crazy they are, they can still see it. The last European war has proved this. There is no winner in a war. No matter the winner or the loser, what they end up facing is the ruins of most of the world. It is exactly what they saw above.
It was only after the tragic scenes of the sub-European war that I became an absolute pacifist." Kenta said eloquently.
Lu Ming was silent. He really couldn't make up his mind right away. Handing over the agents he trained to Qian Tian was not a trivial matter. It had to be done with caution, and he was not the only one who could make the decision.
Lu Ming established the Secret Intelligence Service and trained agents for about two years.
Within the Republic of China government, although the Secret Intelligence Service was a secret agency, there were still many people at the top who knew about it, and these top figures had frequent contacts with the Japanese government and military leaders.
Especially those advocates of the peace movement must have received relevant information from Mr. Wang.
"I can let your people be protected by the Kenta family and place them in various departments. This is to maintain the balance of power. You can use intelligence advantages to make up for the deficiencies in military and national strength. As long as the soldiers of our country realize
If they use force against China, they may lose more than they gain, or there are unpredictable risks, so they may stop," said Kenta.
"But this kind of thing will be exposed sooner or later, and it will implicate yourself and even the Qiantian family. Aren't you afraid?" Lu Ming shook his head.
"Since I dare to say this and my family dares to do this, I am not afraid of any implication. Let me tell you, not everyone in Japan wants a war with China. On the contrary, many people hope that there can be real peace between China and Japan.
Japan's pace of outward expansion must be stopped. These people include writers, artists, and people from the government and diplomatic circles." Kenta said with some excitement.
Lu Ming felt that what Qiantian said was not unreasonable, at least it was sincere.
Afterwards, Lu Ming thought about it alone for several days, but still couldn't decide whether to take this step, so he had to run to discuss it with Sheng Youde.
After hearing Lu Ming's analysis, Sheng Youde immediately said: "We can cooperate with them. The Qiantian family is trustworthy."
"Do you know the Qiantian family?" Lu Ming asked in surprise.
"Of course I understand. The Kenta family is a Chinese ethnic group in Japan, that is, a noble family. They are distant relatives of the emperor. They still have certain influence in Japan. What he said is not empty talk." Sheng Youde said.
"Since the Kenta family is a Japanese aristocracy, they should have a great influence on Japan's foreign policy. Why do they use this method to prevent the war?" Lu Ming has never understood the real purpose of Kenta's doing this.
"You don't know the situation in Japan. Not to mention the Chinese, even the emperor is restricted by the system to a certain extent and cannot completely influence the political situation. It should be the government and cabinet that influence the political situation. But now the government and cabinet are controlled by the military.
Once the country is under control, the military will unscrupulously embark on foreign expansion."
It was precisely for this reason that Sheng Youde was unwilling to have business dealings with the Japanese. He knew that once he had business dealings with the Japanese, sooner or later he would be dragged into the quagmire of "traitors".
