Pan Qiwu looked into Ye Gongjin's eyes and said cautiously: "This may be the reason why they lost contact."
"What happened next?" Ye Gongjin asked succinctly.
Pan Qiwu smiled and said, "We have been working hard to restore contact with Wei Mingshui's group. Wei Mingshui is also trying to restore contact with us. In February 1955, this You Shaoqing even went to Hong Kong in person, and through some unknown means We actually found a person named Gu Shangbin from our Hong Kong intelligence team, and wanted to restore contact with us through him and obtain a new radio station. However, two major events happened at that time. Gu Shangbin retreated hastily and did not keep in touch with You Shaoqing. Stable contact.”
Ye Gongjin raised his head and stared at Pan Qiwu, "What happened at that time?"
Pan Qiwu lowered his voice, "One thing is that a person came from the intelligence agency over there, Zheng Yuanshan. Maybe the director has heard of this person."
Ye Gongjin nodded, "I have heard of this person. He is now..."
Pan Qiwu immediately said: "Now this person is placed in the second group of the Central Committee, Major General Commissioner. That is, the group in charge of Director Shen of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice. It is now under controlled use."
Ye Gongjin nodded to express his understanding, "So, what happened to You Shaoqing?"
A smile appeared on Pan Qiwu's face, "Director, what happened at that time was simply surprising. After Zheng Yuanshan escaped, the government almost went crazy. Their public security and the General Staff Intelligence Department went all out to hunt for this person. Our side We also tried our best to rescue him and finally helped him run to Hong Kong. Later, a different person was replaced at the police station to take charge of the entire pursuit. You also know this person. He is Du Ziyuan."[
Ye Gongjin turned around in surprise and looked at Pan Qiwu, "Du Ziyuan? His identity is..."
"He was the director of the Liaison Department of the General Staff at the time. He was ordered to take over the operation. It is said that the person who was originally responsible for the pursuit was dismissed. Director, something unexpected happened later."
"What is it?"
"At that time, almost half of our forces in Hong Kong were performing this task to protect Zheng Yuanshan. We also used all our forces to do everything possible to help him leave Hong Kong."
"Where is the other half of the power? What are you doing?" Ye Gongjin stared at Pan Qiwu attentively.
Pan Qiwu bent down and almost leaned into Ye Gongjin's ear, "Director, another thing that happened at that time was the crash of the 'Kashmir Princess' plane. This is another operation we are preparing for."
Ye Gongjin immediately nodded to express his understanding. Although he was not in charge at the time, he knew that it was the most significant operation carried out by the Intelligence Bureau in recent years. Although the operation was successful, it did not achieve its goal. That operation was the most important operation in the world. It had a major impact, involving both the British and Americans. In Taiwan, some people were promoted because of it, but some people lost their lives because of it.
Another situation he knew was that after that operation, Director Mao had given a secret instruction, requiring that such operations must be carried out with extreme caution in the future. What he really meant was that such operations should not be carried out in the future.
Ye Gongjin's mind revolved around these situations, thinking about their significance. After a few minutes, his thoughts returned to You Shaoqing. He said: "Qiwu, are these two major actions related to You Shaoqing? "
Pan Qiwu said seriously: "They are all related. But strictly speaking, You Shaoqing has more to do with Zheng Yuanshan in front of him. Because the Japanese side has no regard for anything, just to get rid of Zheng Yuanshan. We have also lost many people because of this.
.But what no one expected was that the person who finally helped Zheng Yuanshan leave Hong Kong was actually You Shaoqing. Director, according to the Hong Kong Intelligence Team's later report, the situation at that time was really intense!"
When Ye Gongjin heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha, this Young Master You is really capable!"
Pan Qiwu continued: "You Shaoqing asked Zheng Yuanshan to tell us that we should contact her. Time was tight at that time, so the words were not made clear and a clear contact address was not left. We did not get in touch with Wei Mingshui's team in Wuhan again."
Ye Gongjin asked with concern, "Have we taken any measures since You Shaoqing returned?"
Pan Qiwu said: "It was adopted. From 1955 to last year, we sent two groups to Wuhan with radio stations and funds, hoping to establish contact with this group. However, these two groups failed."
Hearing Pan Qiwu say this, Ye Gongjin nodded, "I understand, that means these two groups of people have lost their lives. Qiwu, continue to send people to contact this group and try to get in touch." [
"Yes, I will arrange the arrangements." Pan Qiwu said softly.
At this time, Ye Gongjin held these two brief information in his hand, but fell into a long examination.
"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 a dozen 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 wood 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 enemy'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. But why, he
not understand.
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, which was known to many people.
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 an agent of the Communist Party of China? He still doesn't understand. There may be a secret hidden in Zuo Shaoqing.
Is the film an extremely important piece of 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 "maybe" 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.
In the end, it was Ye Gongjin who finally smiled first. He was not admitting defeat. He knew that if Pan Qiwu understood the truth, it would help him complete the task better.
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 immediately opened his mouth. He already understood the crux of this matter, a very serious crux.
"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 the Ye Gongjin in front of him, were both cunning and cunning. In order to sabotage the negotiations between China and the Soviet Union, the Americans adopted an extremely sophisticated and obscure method.
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.
