After listening to Lu Ming's story, Sheng Youde asked tangledly: "Then do you think the Qiantian family is patriotic or traitorous? Of course it refers to his country."
"Of course they are patriotic. They can't bear to see China and Japan fall into the flames of war, and they can't bear to see Japan eventually destroy itself in the flames of war. Isn't this patriotism?" Lu Ming was startled, and then replied without hesitation.
"That is indeed the case, but if their behavior is known to the Japanese side, both the Japanese government and the Japanese people will not hesitate to convict them of treason. Therefore, sometimes the boundaries between patriotism and treason are very subtle and can even be confused.
, I can't explain." Sheng Youde nodded to Lu Ming with something in mind.
"Old man, I understand what you mean. You are reminding me that the young marshal cannot be like Qian Tian. Their identities and roles are completely different." Lu Ming argued.
"Let's not talk about Han Qing, let's talk about the pro-Japanese faction in our government. They accept money from the Japanese, help the Japanese expand their influence in the government and the people, and even send intelligence to Japan. They do not think this is treason.
But we are contributing to the peace between China and Japan." Sheng Youde said angrily.
"I think there is a clear line between patriotism and treason. It is one thing to promote Sino-Japanese friendship. That is principled. National sovereignty is the principle. But it is another thing to advocate co-prosperity in Greater East Asia for the Japanese, because that is
It is to give up national sovereignty in order to find peace."
"Needless to say, Northeast China, North China is facing this problem now. The pro-Japanese faction believes that the central government should accept the traitor regime as long as there is no war. They believe that avoiding war is the true patriotism." Sheng Youde blew his beard in anger.
He said with a glare.
"Well, the Qiantian family and the pro-Japanese faction in our country are two different things, right?" Lu Ming said disapprovingly.
"Actually, it's the same thing. They both want to prevent the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war at all costs." Sheng Youde said without doubt.
"It seems to be one thing on the surface, but it is actually two different things. The Kenta family is a true patriot. They used extraordinary means to prevent the war. However, our pro-Japanese faction is not patriotic at all. They want to exchange sovereignty for peace. May I ask, what do you get in exchange?
Come? You definitely can’t get them in exchange, so they are traitors." Lu Ming said firmly.
"Perhaps Europeans are too romantic. An Italian philosopher once said that the most noble patriotic behavior is to betray his motherland. The Qiantian family fits this definition." Sheng Youde suddenly said this.
"The understanding of patriotism between Europeans and us Chinese is so different. When we established the unified dynasty, Europe did not have the concept of a country. In the past hundred years, the collapse, annexation, and reorganization of European countries are simply
It’s commonplace, so their citizens don’t have the same unwavering sense of patriotism as the Chinese.”
Lu Ming has done careful research on European history and has his own views and ideas on these issues.
"The Japanese used to learn from China and now learn from the West. They are eager to learn and are not content with the status quo. This is worth learning from. However, they learn to invade and expand like the West under the banner of peace. We should see through their true nature and never
You cannot tolerate adultery." Sheng Youde said angrily.
"Well, the peace movement wears a patriotic cloak and is engaged in traitorous activities. Of course, there are also some patriots who have been deceived, and their kindness has been taken advantage of by traitors."
Lu Ming believes that participants in the peace movement cannot be generalized, but should be treated differently.
"After all, black and white will not be confused. When it comes to big issues of right and wrong, you must keep your eyes open and see the road clearly, and don't be blinded by temporary gains and losses." Sheng Youde's mood suddenly became much brighter.
"In our China, there is always a clear line between patriotism and traitorousness, so traitors like Qin Hui will always be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. National heroes like Yue Wumu and Yu Qian will always enjoy the glory of future generations.
Admiration and respect." Lu Ming continued.
"Very good, I'm relieved that you have such thoughts. I was really worried that you would accept their bad thoughts after going abroad for a few years. Fortunately, you were not led astray." Sheng Youde smiled happily.
Lu Ming suddenly realized that Sheng Youde was giving him a vaccination, fearing that he would take the wrong path at a critical moment.
The work of the Intelligence Department and the Secret Service School were running smoothly. Lu Ming watched batches of new students come in, and then watched batches of old students graduate and then go everywhere. His heart was full of hope.
As long as he is given another ten years, he will have thousands of agents distributed in Japan, Northeast and North China, penetrating into all places where Japanese activities are frequent. He is even considering that several Japanese spy agencies in Shanghai should also
Send someone in.
Sheng Youde knew that Lu Ming was busy with work recently, so he didn't keep him much longer. He just looked after him and told him immediately as soon as he got the latest news about the situation in North China. He was really worried.
The next morning, Lu Ming was studying a piece of intelligence from the Northeast when he suddenly received a call from Zhang Ziyang.
"Lu Ming, come here quickly, Du Juan has been arrested." Zhang Ziyang said hurriedly on the phone.
"What's going on? What happened to Du Juan?" Lu Ming couldn't believe his ears.
"I just got the news that people from the Third Precinct arrested Du Juan. I have already called them and asked them to wait where they are. I will go over immediately to find out the situation, but I think this matter is not simple. You'd better go there too.
Come on." Zhang Ziyang's voice was very urgent, mixed with anxiety and uneasiness.
"Okay, I'll be there right away. Who is so brave and dares to arrest my people?" Lu Ming now believes that Du Juan is an agent of the Secret Intelligence Service, and all the procedures are complete, so he is not worried.
In Shanghai, how could any police dare to attack agents of the Secret Intelligence Service? I don’t want to live.
Lu Ming ran downstairs and drove straight to the Third Precinct.
When they arrived at the gate of the Third Precinct, Zhang Ziyang's car was parked there. When he saw Lu Ming getting out of the car, Zhang Ziyang came over and said, "Lu Ming, calm down first and listen to me carefully."
It was okay if he didn't say this. Lu Ming could not remain calm after hearing this. Something was obviously wrong.
"What's going on? Did something happen to Du Juan?" Lu Ming shouted loudly.
"Don't get excited, listen to me slowly." Zhang Ziyang pressed his shoulder and said.
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and say it." Lu Ming shook Zi Yang's hand away hard, feeling like he was about to explode.
"That's it. After I made the call, the Third Branch decided to send Du Juan to the main bureau and hand it over to me directly. As a result, he was robbed on the way and now Du Juan is missing." Zhang Ziyang was also sweating profusely.
"What? Got robbed? Are you telling a story or a joke?" The veins in Lu Ming's neck suddenly swelled, and his face turned red.
Zhang Ziyang hurriedly supported him: "Lu Ming, you must stay calm. Du Juan is just missing, so there shouldn't be any danger."
"Everyone has been robbed, and you still say there is no danger? How can there be danger?" Lu Ming shouted in a low voice with his eyes closed.
He didn't dare to open his eyes. Even if he closed his eyes, he could feel the stars dancing in front of his eyes, and the blood all over his body suddenly rushed to his brain, as if his head was about to explode.
"Calm down first. The person who kidnapped Du Juan always has a purpose and will make demands. Of course our police station has ways to rescue her." Zhang Ziyang advised.
Lu Ming leaned on the car and slowly recovered: "Check the movements of the Japanese first. I guess it was mostly them."
He suddenly thought that Kawashima Yoshiko had appeared in Shanghai a few days ago. Could this matter have anything to do with her?
"It's hard to say, but the hijackers were all masked. They stopped the Third Branch's car, forced them at gunpoint to hand over Du Juan, and then drove away from the scene," Zhang Ziyang said.
At this time, many policemen came out of the Third Precinct. They looked at Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang silently, knowing that the bureau had offended these two important figures in Shanghai.
Almost no one among them knew Lu Ming, but they all knew Zhang Ziyang. Inspector Zhang from the General Bureau was a very powerful person to them.
"Master Lu, I'm sorry, my branch has caused such a big mistake, and I apologize to you." The director of the third branch came over and bowed, his face full of apology.
"This is Lao Shao, the director of the Third Branch." Zhang Ziyang introduced.
Lu Ming glared at Director Shao and asked sternly: "Why did you arrest Miss Du Juan? What reason do you have to arrest her?"
Director Shao said with some embarrassment: "We received a report that the Communist Party was giving an anti-Japanese speech on the street, and my two idiots arrested Miss Du Juan. They don't know the relationship between Miss Du Juan and you."
"Who reported it?!" Lu Ming's voice showed murderous intent.
"I don't know, the person who reported the report didn't leave his name." Director Shao was a little panicked.
"Lao Shao, this reporter is probably related to the robbers. You must find out." Zhang Ziyang immediately judged.
Lu Ming's voice trembled with anger and said: "Who reported it, but the police station didn't know. Are your police officers all idiots? I think it's not easy to find such idiots in Shanghai!"
His voice was so loud that all the policemen at the door heard it. Some of them were blushing and ashamed, and some were unconvinced, but they did not dare to speak.
Don't talk about them, even their director is standing there with a respectful attitude, with his belly and chest closed, looking like a sinner.
