At this time, the task pressure on Du Ziyuan's shoulders was huge, and the doubts in his heart were also huge. A common occupational disease among intelligence personnel is that they are always suspicious. Although they have been trained to hide their suspicions very deeply, even unfathomably
.But suspicion is always like air, floating around them.
Du Ziyuan would never dare to rely on the local public security department in Wuhan. He even did not dare to rely on the power of the Hubei Investigation Bureau. The reason is extremely simple. These units have one thing in common, they must report their recent work to their superiors at any time. The content of these reports
Du Ziyuan could not imagine where it would end up. He was worried that these contents might fall into the ears of "water hyacinth".
Chu Bolin also understood Du Ziyuan's doubts. He finally made a suggestion, "Old Du, can you find out about the situation of the local garrison. If possible, we may be able to use the power of the army to participate in our secret investigation."
Du Ziyuan strongly agrees with this suggestion. There is no doubt that the military and intelligence systems, as well as the local public security system, are completely different systems. "Water Hyacinth" may not be able to reach into the military. He can consider using it.
After thinking for a moment, Du Ziyuan immediately called the current Chief of Staff Wei of the Wuhan Military Region, the deputy chief of staff of the Sixth Column Wei who announced the reorganization order to Wu Fengying in Luofengling. The result of the inquiry surprised him. The commander of the Hubei Provincial Military Region
The officer turned out to be Li Yunlin, the former deputy commander of the guerrilla column on the Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi border.
When Du Ziyuan put down the phone, he knew that he had finally found someone he could trust.
The next day, after Lao Luo made some careful arrangements, Du Ziyuan and Qin Donghai boarded the train to Harbin in the evening. Their public mission for this trip was to investigate the foreign espionage case that had just occurred in Harbin.
When the train passed through Tianjin, it stopped for six minutes. Du Ziyuan and Qin Donghai took this opportunity to walk around the platform and stretch their bodies. They also bought a bag of "Eighteen Street" cannabis flowers from the sales cart on the platform and took them back.
In the carriage, at night, at around eleven o'clock, they quietly got off the train in Tangshan.
A jeep from the Tianjin Security Area took them to Tangshan Airport. A military transport plane was waiting for them.
When Du Ziyuan boarded the plane, the surroundings were dark. Only a few small lights on the wings outlined the beast-like fuselage. Du Ziyuan looked at the plane and couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable trance in his heart.
This is a DC-3 passenger aircraft designed and produced by the American Douglas Company in 1936. It has two 1,200-horsepower "Pratt & Whitney R-1830" engines, with a maximum speed of 368 kilometers per hour, and the cabin door is located at
The left side of the tail. From today's perspective, it can only be regarded as a small passenger plane at most, because it can only carry 28 passengers. However, it has a rather exaggerated name: "Sky Train".
During World War II, the U.S. military requisitioned a large number of such aircraft and converted them into military transport aircraft. Its military model was C-47. It was this kind of aircraft that flew on the famous "Hump" route. It transported cargo for China's Anti-Japanese War
A large amount of military supplies. It is also recognized as one of the most successful military transport aircraft.
Du Ziyuan looked at this plane and couldn't help but think of another plane. It was also a DC-3 model with twin engines, and it was a transport aircraft temporarily converted into a passenger plane. It was an aircraft belonging to the Indian Air Force. 1955
In April this year, it conducted a secret flight in China.
Du Ziyuan's heart trembled as he thought of the top-secret "Star" plan. That secret flight was an important part of the "Star" plan. That "Star" plan was also painful in his heart!
At noon on April 11, 1955, what Du Ziyuan sent Huang Zuozhu, the director of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, to board was not this kind of plane, but another one that was more luxurious and magnificent, produced by Lockheed Martin.
L-749a passenger plane. He watched Huang Zuozhu calmly board the plane. Du Ziyuan could see from his face that he knew it would be a disaster. However, with a smile on his face, he said to
Du Ziyuan stood under the plane and waved.
At that time, Huang Zuozhu's wife was already six months pregnant. The last words he said to his wife before leaving were: "If you want revolution, there will be sacrifices. You have to take care of yourself." Huang Zuozhu was arrested for "Kashmir Princess"
" died in the explosion. There were ten other comrades on the plane with him.
At this time, when the military transport plane Du Ziyuan and Qin Donghai were riding roared into the sky from Tangshan Airport, the long past flooded Du Ziyuan like clouds and mist, making his heart tremble and unable to suppress it.
It was the end of February 1955, and the "Zheng Yuanshan case" unexpectedly ended in "failure". Du Ziyuan was depressed and distressed by this, and could hardly extricate himself. At this time, he received a telegram from "Xiangbu" and only four
One word: "Stand where you are!"
For more than ten days in a row, he never received any further instructions from the "director". He could only wait in Hong Kong.
During this period, he, Chu Bolin, and Feng Dun worked together to sort out the details of Taiwan's intelligence systems in Hong Kong. Feng Dun had some accumulation of these situations, and with this detailed investigation, he
It has almost all information about Taiwan's spies, including detailed addresses and lists, as well as the intelligence agencies to which they belong.
Du Ziyuan was really surprised when he looked at these addresses and lists. He did not expect that Taiwanese spies had penetrated into every level of Hong Kong. In the Hong Kong government, in the police, prisons, judicial system, all the way to schools and churches, there are many
There are Taiwanese spies in companies or social groups. It can almost be said that on the surface it is the British Hong Kong Governor's Office that rules Hong Kong, but it is Taiwan's secret service that actually controls Hong Kong.
Soon, Du Ziyuan sent this detailed list and address back to Beijing through a secret messenger.
Only three days later, Du Ziyuan received a secret message from the "Ministry of Xiang", ordering him to return to Beijing immediately. The message was: "You must return to Beijing as soon as possible." Du Ziyuan understood that this meant that he was asked to return to Beijing alone. Chu Bolin and others
, and will continue to wait in Hong Kong.
On the day Du Ziyuan arrived in Beijing, he participated in the only top-secret meeting involving the "Star" project.
The meeting place was in "Xiang Bu"'s office. There were only three people attending the meeting: Du Ziyuan, "Xiang Bu", and Director Chen, whose office is located in Zhongnanhai.
The meeting was not long. Director Chen stared at Du Ziyuan with stern eyes as always.
Du Ziyuan was terrified, worried that he would be held accountable at this meeting because of the failure of the "Zheng Yuanshan Case". However, "Xiangbu" and Director Chen did not mention the "Zheng Yuanshan Case" at all.
Director Chen took out a document from his wallet, threw it in front of Du Ziyuan, and said, "This is what you sent back!"
Du Ziyuan took a look and saw that it was the secret documents he had sent back to Beijing three days ago. All of them contained lists of institutions, strongholds and personnel of Taiwan's secret service in Hong Kong.
He whispered: "Yes." But he was very confused in his heart.
Director Chen still stared at him and said sternly: "The Kuomintang agents have so much power in Hong Kong. How will we carry out our work in the future? Have you ever thought about this problem? What do you want to do! How to solve it!"
Du Ziyuan was stunned. The Taiwanese spies lurking in Hong Kong were not within the scope of his work at all. Director Chen blamed him for this, as if he had caused such serious consequences.
But he didn't dare to answer, let alone refute. He could only sit silently and look at him with a stiff expression.
The office was very quiet. The sun outside the window was shining brightly, but Du Ziyuan's heart was filled with darkness.
Director Chen continued to scold: "One day, we will take back Hong Kong! However, there are so many Kuomintang agents in Hong Kong who are always making trouble for us. Can we take it back smoothly? After taking it back, can we be stable? Have you ever thought about it?
Think about these questions!”
Du Ziyuan felt even more distressed. He still did not dare to speak.
Xiangbu finally made a move. He patted Director Chen's arm first, as if to signal him not to be impatient.
After that, he slowly turned to Du Ziyuan and said softly: "Comrade Ziyuan, Hong Kong is almost completely controlled by Taiwanese spies. This problem is very serious. As Director Chen said, sooner or later, we will take back Hong Kong. But then
It is a matter of the future. But now, it is almost our only export and import. This situation is very unfavorable to us. Therefore, this problem must be solved! It may not be easy to solve, but we must take measures step by step.
Gradually expand our power in Hong Kong and reduce the space for Taiwan's spies to operate."
Du Ziyuan later learned that the last two sentences of "Xiangbu" were actually the core of the "Star" plan.
In front of such two high-level officials, Du Ziyuan actually had no room to speak. He could only listen.
"Xiangbu" continued: "Now there is an opportunity. Therefore, Director Chen formulated a plan called the 'Star' Plan. This plan is only known to the three of us, and it is up to you to implement it."
After he finished speaking, he stared at Du Ziyuan with sharp eyes. He obviously wanted to confirm whether Du Ziyuan understood what he meant. After that, he nodded to Director Chen.
Director Chen took out a dossier from his wallet, pushed it towards the department, and said, "Take a look!"
Du Ziyuan carefully picked up the file. On the cover of the file, there were only two cursive characters written in pencil: "星星".
There is no establishment date, no approval number, no classification level, and no explanation on the dossier. There are only two shocking pencil characters: "星星".
Du Ziyuan had a vague feeling that such a dossier might have more weight.
He slowly opened the file and was even more surprised. The document in this file was so short, it actually only had two pages, and it was handwritten. It was obviously Director Chen's handwriting.
