What Ye Gongjin held in his hand was a light brown kraft paper dossier. It was thin and the surface of the dossier had some wear and tear. There was a thin string tied between the front and back covers of the dossier. The "Absolute Confidential" seal was printed on the upper right side of the dossier.
People are horrified.
Ye Gongjin gently untied the string and opened the file. There were only a dozen pages in the file. He could see at a glance that the file contained indeed brief information. Each page recorded the basic situation of a latent group. Their
Code name, team leader’s name, lurking location, main personnel, and their tasks.
Ye Gongjin understood that their detailed information must be in the top-secret filing cabinet in the archives room. And this file was prepared for the intelligence agency's top brass to make decisions. He raised his head and glanced at Pan Qiwu, "Is that all?"
Pan Qiwu leaned forward and said, "Director, this is the most important team and it is classified as a first-level secret."
"How wide is its reading range?" Ye Gongjin asked softly.[
"It used to be Director Mao, but now it's you. I'm in charge." Pan Qiwu replied succinctly.
Ye Gongjin nodded and said no more. He lowered his head and read through these brief information one by one. After more than ten minutes, when Ye Gongjin finished reading all these brief information, he couldn't help but smile on his face. Among these dozen people lurking in the mainland
In his group, there were actually two people who were his former subordinates.
One is Zhao Minggui, the leader of the Major General team, who is lurking in Xuzhou.
The past was like smoke, filling Ye Gongjin's mind. All the love affairs in Nanjing flashed before his eyes one by one. This shrewd, cautious, and calm Zhao Minggui must have been able to survive in the harsh environment of the mainland.
His reasons. Ye Gongjin understood in his mind that he trusted this person.
The other one, to Ye Gongjin's surprise, turned out to be You Shaoqing. She was not the team leader. But he immediately saw that You Shaoqing must have an extraordinary role in this team. The team leader was Wei Mingshui. Ye Gongjin
Knowing this person, he was a veteran spy during the military unification period. There was a bracket after his name, which read: You Shaoqing. Ye Gongjin vaguely understood that You Shaoqing's status in this group may be the second in command. Also
There is a possibility that she is the de facto number one.
But Ye Gongjin still pointed at this page and asked: "Qiwu, what is going on with this group?"
Pan Qiwu turned behind him and immediately said: "Director, this group is a bit special. This Wei Mingshui has no political problems and has sufficient qualifications, but his character is a little rough. The reason why this group can survive until now is because of this right young man.
Your role. The director must know this You Shaoqing very well."
Ye Gongjin nodded. He knew in his heart that You Shaoqing and her sister Zuo Shaoqing were the wisest, most astute and most capable agents he had ever seen. He carefully treated the two sisters in his heart.
Comparing and weighing, he felt that the older sister was superior. But after all these years, who can say for sure?
At this time, he noticed that in the upper right corner of this brief information, there were three small words: "To be contacted".
He clicked on these three words, "Qiwu, what's going on?"
Pan Qiwu took a look and sighed, "This group has lost contact with us."
Ye Gongjin frowned, "Loss?"
Pan Qiwu pondered for a moment before saying: "It doesn't seem to be the case. In June last year, the contact between this group and us was suddenly interrupted for unknown reasons. We did think it was a loss at the time. But by October, we suddenly received several groups from this group
The code. The code is incomplete and I don’t know what it says. However, after analysis, the Telecommunications Department believes that this code was indeed sent by Wei Mingshui’s operator, and its characteristics are very obvious. Secondly, judging from the unstable signal, it seems that it is caused by their radio station.
There was a malfunction. This may be why they lost contact."
"Did we take any steps?"
"It was adopted. In November last year, we sent two groups to Wuhan with radio stations, hoping to establish contact with this group. However, there has been no news so far."
Ye Gongjin nodded, "I understand, that means everything is lost. Qiwu, continue to send people to contact this group and try to get in touch."
"Yes, I will arrange someone."
At this time, Ye Gongjin held these two brief information in his hands and fell into a long exam.
"Long test" is originally a Go term. It refers to a chess player thinking about tactics for a long time during the game. There was a chess player who sat motionless in front of the chessboard and took a long test for two or three hours. What he considered and compared
It is often the result of several different game plans after more than ten or even dozens of steps.[
Ye Gongjin was thinking about the result after dozens of steps. He sat there for dozens of minutes.
Pan Qiwu stood behind him, also motionless, waiting silently.
It was already late at night and everything was quiet. There was silence in the office. Ye Gongjin closed his eyes and meditated, only occasionally glancing at the brief information in his hand. Pan Qiwu remained motionless, standing behind him like a wooden sculpture. Pan Qiwu's cautiousness,
This is evident.
An hour later, Ye Gongjin finally raised his head. He glanced around the office and then noticed Pan Qiwu, who had always been standing behind him. He made a gesture, telling him to sit down opposite.
Ye Gongjin presented Zhao Minggui's brief information to Pan Qiwu, "Brother Qiwu, you are in charge of this group personally. All instructions and calls will be kept by you personally. Don't let others get their hands on it."
Pan Qiwu silently took the piece of paper into his hand and said, "Yes, Director, I am personally responsible."
Ye Gongjin then presented You Shaoqing's brief information to Pan Qiwu, "You have to get in touch with this group as soon as possible. Send a few more groups, and there will always be one group that can escape the CCP's pursuit."
"Yes, I will arrange this myself."
"This is best." Ye Gongjin let out a long breath, "Brother Qi Wu, the last thing and the most important thing is that Zuo Shaoqing. You should know her."
"Yes, I know him." Pan Qiwu said calmly.
"I got news that the day before yesterday, Zuo Shaoqing had crossed the border and entered Cambodia after leaving the US military base in Cam Ranh Bay, South Vietnam. You are responsible for organizing our people in Cambodia to intercept her. If she cannot be intercepted, get rid of her! This
This must be done properly, and she must not be allowed to return to the mainland."
"Yes, I will." Pan Qiwu said simply.
"Qiwu, if necessary, you can go there in person and give direct command."
Pan Qiwu understood what this "when necessary" meant, that is, he had to personally supervise the battle, and there was no room for negotiation.
But he did not move, still looking at Ye Gongjin calmly. Ye Gongjin wanted to get rid of Zuo Shaoqing. He could probably guess what happened, and it must be related to the death of Ruan Qibo in South Vietnam. However, he didn't understand why.
Finally, he asked softly: "Director, could you please explain why you must get rid of Zuo Shaoqing?"
Ye Gongjin was silent for a moment and said: "Qiwu, this Zuo Shaoqing may have a film on him. If you see the film, you will understand what it means."
Pan Qiwu looked at Ye Gongjin with his mature, calm eyes. He understood that Ye Gongjin did not tell the whole situation. In Nanjing back then, Zuo Shaoqing was suspected of being a communist. This was a situation that many people knew. He even knew that
, Ye Gongjin’s bigger purpose of keeping Zuo Shaoqing at that time was to catch the big fish behind her.
But, what now? Why must we get rid of Zuo Shaoqing? She has been living in Taipei for seven years, doing the same thing, so what if she is a CCP agent? He still doesn't understand. This Zuo Shaoqing may have a film hidden on her body
, is it extremely important information? It doesn’t seem like it. What important information can be obtained in a place like Cam Ranh Bay? Ye Gongjin said that she might have a film on her body. What does this “possibly” mean?
Pan Qiwu sat motionless, staring at Ye Gongjin silently. Ye Gongjin also stared at him silently. They were actually facing each other, one wanted to ask, the other didn't want to say anything.
Finally, Ye Gongjin smiled. He was not admitting defeat. He knew that if Pan Qiwu understood the truth, he would be better able to complete his mission.
He said softly: "Qi Wu, the life and death of Zuo Shaoqing is closely related to the cause of Ruan Qibo's death."[
Pan Qiwu nodded, "Director, I have already guessed this."
"And Ruan Qibo's death was the result of the United States."
"American?" Pan Qiwu was really surprised, "Why?"
"The death of Ruan Qibo will cause serious conflicts between China and the Soviet Union. The Americans have received information that recently, China and the Soviet Union are negotiating, and the Soviet Union is helping China manufacture atomic weapons."
Pan Qiwu suddenly opened his mouth, he already understood the key point of this matter.
"However," Ye Gongjin continued: "Zuo Shaoqing may have seen the assassination process of the Americans and even took photos! Qi Wu, this is the most fatal thing!"
Pan Qiwu finally understood that the Americans and Ye Gongjin in front of him were both cunning and cunning.
However, Pan Qiwu also understood another thing. Ye Gongjin took the exam for more than an hour, and he must have planned a plan in his mind, or an action plan. He asked himself to carry out the task, but refused to reveal his plan. Pan Qiwu
We can't help but think that Ye Gongjin's wariness and doubts about him have not eased in the slightest.
But, I don't care! This is what Pan Qiwu is thinking at this time. He wants to take a look at what kind of action plan Ye Gongjin plans!
After Pan Qiwu left Ye Gongjin's office until he boarded the plane at five o'clock in the afternoon the next day, he did not stop or rest for a minute, but was doing intense preparation work.
He notified the South Vietnam Station and the Thailand Station through the radio, asking them to immediately dispatch three operators each to carry the necessary equipment and go to Phnom Penh to wait for orders. In addition, he urgently selected three operators and a radio operator from the operations brigade.
Take the radio and set off with him.
He asked the Archives Department to provide some photos of Zuo Shaoqing from various angles. He selected a few of them and asked the Technical Department to develop dozens of them. He asked all operational personnel to accurately identify this person.
At five o'clock in the afternoon the next day, he got on the plane. During the approximately six-hour flight, he had been studying Cambodian maps and traffic maps to prepare for his operation.
