The title of this document is four words: "Star Plan". Du Ziyuan read it carefully word for word. As the specific executor, he must remember the key points. However, when he read the plan, his heart was filled with fear.
and questions. He raised his head and looked at Director Chen with fear and questions.
Director Chen stared at him with a stern look, remained silent for a moment, and finally said: "No questions!" He took the file back from Du Ziyuan's hand and said coldly: "You execute it!"
This secret meeting, a top-secret meeting attended by only three people, ended like this.
In fact, in Taipei, another secret meeting related to the "Star" project is also going on.
On February 27, 1955, Guan Jinzhou, the head of the Hong Kong Intelligence Station, received a secret telegram from the Secrecy Bureau headquarters, which read: "Zheng has arrived in Taiwan. Return to Taiwan immediately to report."
Guan Jinzhou and Chen Yintang were stunned when they saw this telegram. How capable is Zheng Yuanshan? He was able to escape from Hong Kong alone and almost flew to Taiwan by himself! They all speculated in their hearts that this operation failed.
, they may all be severely investigated. But fortunately, Zheng Yuanshan has arrived in Taiwan, which gives them some peace of mind.
They first took a flight to Bangkok and then to Taipei. That afternoon, they were immediately sent to a secret conference room on the top floor of the Secrecy Bureau building.
As soon as they entered the conference room, they felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was very serious.
The person presiding over the meeting was not Mao Renfeng, director of the Secrecy Bureau, but Zheng Jiemin, director of the National Security Bureau. In addition to Mao Renfeng, those who attended the meeting also included Xu Renjun, deputy director of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense, Chen Jianzhong, director of the Sixth Group of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang,
Zhang Yanyuan, Deputy Director of the Second Group of the Central Committee (the director is Zheng Jiemin), Ji Yuanpu, Director of the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice and Administration. In addition, sitting at the end of the table is Pan Qiwu, Deputy Director of the Security Bureau and Director of the General Office. At this conference table, the lowest level
Pan Qiwu also had the rank of lieutenant general.
Guan Jinzhou and Chen Yintang entered the conference room, and with caution and uneasiness, followed Pan Qiwu's gesture and sat down next to him. They guessed that today's meeting must be related to Zheng Yuanshan, and they might even be liquidated.
Zheng Jiemin looked at the people at the table and said, "Brother Renfeng, everyone is already here. You can speak first."
Mao Renfeng nodded. He covered his mouth and coughed twice. Recently, his health has not been good and his lung problems have become more and more serious. But today's meeting is really important and he must attend.
He said: "Jinzhou, and Yintang. There are only two topics in today's meeting. The first topic is about the "No. 1" operation. Jinzhou, please introduce the origin of this operation.
Guan Jinzhou breathed a huge sigh of relief. As long as it was not about the "Zheng Yuanshan case", he would feel more relieved.
He leaned forward, put his hands on the table, and said respectfully: "Yes, let me report. In January this year, we received information that from April 6 to 10 this year, a meeting of Asian countries will be held in New Delhi, India.
The meeting was attended by fifteen countries including Myanmar, Ceylon, mainland China, Egypt, India, Japan, Jordan, North Korea, Lebanon, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Syria, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam. We received information that representatives sent by the Chinese Communist Party
The group was led by Guo Moruo. They were taking a flight from Hong Kong to India. So, we thought this was an opportunity. Guo Moruo is a well-known person and a senior government official. If we take decisive action and succeed, there will definitely be a big political stir.
Impact. We therefore proposed this Action No. 1 recommendation."
Mao Renfeng took over the end of his words and said calmly: "Everyone, this was the previous plan. However, the situation has changed now. I have received the latest information. On April 18th this year, a conference will be held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Asian-African Conference. Zhou Enlai of the Communist Party of China will lead a delegation to attend this conference. They also took a flight from Hong Kong and flew directly to Jakarta. I think this is a more important goal than Guo Moruo. If our action is successful, it will be a great success in the world.
The impact and shock will be immeasurable!”
When he said this, his eyes flashed sharply and he looked around at the senior officials around the table.
The senior officials around the table also had strange lights flashing in their eyes and nodded to each other.
Zheng Jiemin remained calm and said calmly: "Brother Renfeng, how can you be sure that Zhou Enlai of the Chinese Communist Party will definitely take a flight in Hong Kong? Don't they have other ways?"
Mao Renfeng stared at Zheng Jiemin. He really didn't bother to answer this question.
In 1946, after Boss Dai died in a plane crash, Zheng Jiemin served as the director of the Secrecy Bureau for a time. He and Zheng Jiemin fought to the death for control of the Secrecy Bureau. Because of the support of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, he also
Because of Mrs. Chiang's support, he finally won and became the director of the Secrecy Bureau. Zheng Jiemin was eventually squeezed out of the Secrecy Bureau.
However, the situation is different now. Zheng Jiemin is now the director of the National Security Bureau, in charge of all intelligence agencies in Taiwan. The most important thing is that Zheng Jiemin now has the support of Mr. Ching Kuo. He cannot but take this into consideration. Thinking of this,
He reached out and tapped Pan Qiwu, indicating that he would answer.
Pan Qiwu saw Director Mao's gesture clearly, coughed lightly, and immediately said: "Report to Director Zheng, the information is very accurate. In addition, we have also done a careful analysis. There are mainly the following situations. First, so far, mainland China has only
An international route leading abroad is the route from Beijing to Irkutsk in the Soviet Union. Irkutsk is located in southern Central Siberia and west of Lake Baikal. Zhou Enlai of the Communist Party of China wanted to go abroad from here to Jakarta. It was completely opposite. We believe that
, this is impossible. Besides, they have no other international routes. If they want to go to Indonesia, they can only go through Hong Kong."
Zheng Jiemin asked: "So, how do you know they are going to take a flight in Hong Kong? Can't they take the sea route?"
Pan Qiwu immediately said: "Director Zheng, we judge that the possibility of the CCP delegation taking the sea route is very small. Because the sea route takes a long time, it will take about six to seven days to reach Indonesia. So, secondly, we have recently obtained further information
According to the intelligence, the Chinese Communist Party has chartered a plane with an international airline in India. The charter agreement specifies: 'Government charter flight'. In addition, the agreement also confirms that the plane will take off from Hong Kong on April 10th.
One day around 12 noon."
Looking on and calmly speaking, not only these astute intelligence officials, but also many subsequent researchers who studied this period of history, did not notice this "take-off time." The Asian-African Conference was held on April 18,
The plane took off from Hong Kong on April 11th. It can almost be said that no government delegation from any country would arrive at the conference venue so early.
Once again, he looked on and said calmly that this "take-off time" was actually a weak point of the "Star" plan. Director Chen also hesitated for a long time. But during the subsequent execution, he was greatly surprised.
Yes, no one noticed this "take-off time".
At this time, Zheng Jiemin nodded after hearing Pan Qiwu's introduction. But he was an extremely cautious person and thought about problems extremely carefully. He asked again: "Have you investigated the situation of this aircraft? Can we?"
Do you... succeed the first time?" He chose his words carefully.
Pan Qiwu looked at Director Mao opposite him and said carefully: "Director Mao also mentioned this issue at the beginning and asked us to take careful and meticulous measures. In order to ensure the success of the operation, we also conducted research on this aircraft. First, we investigated
Air India International was acquired, one of the two largest airlines in India. In 1953, in order to nationalize aviation, the Indian government acquired a total of eight private airlines and established two airlines. This
An Indian international airline specializes in international routes. The plane chartered by the CCP delegation belongs to this company. In addition, the mainland currently has a very friendly relationship with India. If they want to charter an aircraft, they will definitely choose an Indian airline, which is this company.
An Indian international airline. Finally, we also did research on this aircraft. This is the Constellation L-749a aircraft designed and produced by the American Lockheed Martin Company in 1947. It was given to it by Indian Airlines
The name is, 'Kashmir Princess'. This aircraft uses four 18-cylinder engines and can fly long distances. It carries 81 passengers and can fully carry all members of the CCP delegation."
Zheng Jiemin asked: "Are you sure that the CCP delegation and Zhou Enlai will definitely take this plane?"
Pan Qiwu said: "The current situation we have is this. If the CCP delegation travels north or west, it usually rents Soviet aircraft. For example, in April last year, the CCP delegation attended the Geneva Peace Conference and took a
Three IL-14 aircraft from the Soviet Union. But if you travel east or south, you usually leave from Hong Kong and rent an Air India aircraft. We have recently received reliable information that next month, a trade delegation from the CCP will
When visiting Japan, they also rented this "Kashmir Princess" aircraft. The latest news is that the Chinese Communist Party delegation has signed a rental contract with Air India International in order to participate in the Asian-African Conference on April 18, and they also rented this aircraft.
Fly the 'Kashmir Princess'."
Zheng Jiemin nodded, stared at Pan Qiwu with cold eyes, and asked softly: "So, what about the special equipment we use? How about it?"
Pan Qiwu was stunned at first, but he immediately understood what he was referring to. In the customs of the Military Command and Security Bureau, the so-called "special equipment" refers to time bombs. This is something they often use.
