Zuo Shaoqing closed the door and said quietly: "No."
Ye Gongjin took a step back and waved to the sink and chopping board in front of him, "Okay, come on. Damn it, I have to cook by myself every day when I go home, it's annoying me!"
Zuo Shaoqing walked into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
Half an hour later, she made rice and fried a green vegetable and a bacon and winter melon. They sat at the small dining table in the kitchen and ate in silence.
"Why are you back?" Ye Gongjin asked.
"If there is a convenient boat, I will come back and take a look." Zuo Shaoqing said softly while eating.
"Young Master Zuo, you are not a casual person. You must have something to do when you come back this time, right?"
"Yes. I have some questions now and want to come back and find out." She said quietly.
"What is it?" Ye Gongjin looked at her doubtfully.
"Gong Jin, a few days ago, I drafted a research report on the Asian-African Conference. Have you read it?"
"You're right, I did see it." He nodded.
"I don't understand why such a report is classified as 'confidential'?"
Ye Gongjin chuckled, "When I saw you, the first thing that came to my mind was this research report."
Zuo Shaoqing raised his head and stared at him quietly, "I don't understand why the higher-ups pay attention to this report?"
Ye Gongjin burst out laughing, "That's the report you wrote! You don't know?"
Zuo Shaoqing put down his job, "I'm not joking, I have no idea at all. Can you explain it to me?"
Ye Gongjin sneered and stared at her face, "Young Master Zuo, let me ask first. Have you been in Hong Kong these past few months and have you been in contact with them there?"
"Don't ask such questions! If I get in touch, will I come back today? Think about it!"
"Then, why do you care about that report?" Ye Gongjin's eyes were fixed on her face.
"I just have doubts in my heart. If you have doubts, you have to clarify them. Don't you understand me yet?"
Ye Gongjin put down the rice bowl in his hand and said, "You can continue eating. After we finish eating, we can talk slowly."
Zuo Shaoqing finished eating the rice in the bowl and washed the dishes. There were already a lot of dishes piled up in the sink. She controlled her anxiety, patiently washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. She left the kitchen.
, sat down on the old sofa next to Ye Gongjin, handed him a cigarette, lit it for him, and then looked at him quietly.
Ye Gongjin took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "Young Master Zuo, you haven't contacted that place. To be honest, I don't believe it. The CCP is very powerful in Hong Kong, I know it."
"I really didn't get in touch, and I didn't have a chance at all. The people in the Hong Kong intelligence station are not just for nothing. I know they have doubts about me. I still say the same thing, if I get in touch with them, I will come back and ask.
You?"
Ye Gongjin nodded, "What you said makes sense. So, what do you want to know?"
Zuo Shaoqing thought for a moment and said: "The first question is, why do the higher-ups attach so much importance to my research report?"
Ye Gongjin laughed coldly, "Young Master Zuo, your research report pierced the heart of 'above'. You said at the end of the report: If something unexpected happens to the CCP delegation, it may win the sympathy of other countries.
It is more likely to help the Chinese Communist Party achieve the greatest success. This is what the 'above' is most worried about!"
Zuo Shaoqing's wisdom was unmatched by ordinary people. She immediately heard another meaning from Ye Gongjin's words, which was exactly what she had been guessing these past few days.
She asked calmly: "So, Taiwan is really going to attack the CCP delegation?"
Ye Gongjin also stared at her calmly, "Master Zuo, I hope you can understand. I know who you are, so I won't say too much to you. No matter whether you have contacted the CCP or not, I will
I can't tell you too much. I still have a little sense of confidentiality."
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him calmly and said, "You don't have to think too much. I just want to solve the doubts in my heart, and I don't want to know more. I don't want to stay up at night because of this doubt."
"What do you want to know?" Ye Gongjin looked at her quietly.
"That's what I just asked. Has Taiwan already planned an action?" She stared at Ye Gongjin.
"Yes." Ye Gongjin nodded calmly, "Let me tell you a little more, there is indeed a 'Operation No. 1'. I can only say so much. Because, I guess, the CCP may already know that we have
A 'Number One' takes action."
In fact, Ye Gongjin's words have solved Zuo Shaoqing's doubts. This means that Taiwan must take action against the CCP delegation. "Number 1"? That means that they are going to be ruthless! Damn it!
In fact, there was another thing that Ye Gongjin would never say to Zuo Shaoqing.
It was on the afternoon of this day that an extremely important secret meeting was held in the conference room of the National Security Bureau. The meeting was still chaired by Zheng Jiemin. The people who attended the meeting were all those who attended the meeting in the conference room on the top floor of the National Security Bureau.
In addition, several members of the "National Security Council" were added, and Ye Gongjin was one of them.
This meeting was convened by Zheng Jiemin entrusted by Mr. Jingguo. The core issue of the meeting was: whether the "No. 1" operation will be used by the Chinese Communist Party. This is one of the conclusions reached in Zuo Shaoqing's research report
.
This meeting was actually a "sand table exercise" to predict whether Operation No. 1 would be used by the CCP and what preventive measures, or in other words, countermeasures could be taken.
The first item discussed at this meeting turned out to be the research report on the Asian-African Conference written by Zuo Shaoqing. It was after Mr. Jingguo saw this report that he asked Zheng Jiemin to convene this meeting.
To put it bluntly, these senior officials only knew the importance of the Asian-African Conference from this research report. What made them suspicious were the three conclusions Zuo Shaoqing put forward at the end of the report.
The second item is the situation report sent back by Guan Jinzhou and Chen Yintang from Hong Kong. This report mentioned various situations faced by the "No. 1" operation. But the most important point is whether the CCP's "Star" plan
It has something to do with the Asian-African Conference. Furthermore, does it have something to do with the "No. 1" operation formulated by the Bureau of Secrecy? If the "Star" plan formulated by the CCP used "No. 1" operation, that would be terrible!
The third item is several pieces of intelligence that make them deeply worried. First, the CCP seems to have obtained intelligence that Taiwan will take "special" actions against the CCP delegation. Therefore, Zhou Enlai of the CCP may change his itinerary. Chapter 2
Second, the CCP delegation has set off from Beijing this morning, but its destination is not Hong Kong, but most likely Kunming, Yunnan. This second piece of information has actually proven the accuracy of the first piece of information. Third, the Secret Bureau of India
The station sent back a new piece of information. The content is: a DC-3 passenger transport aircraft of the Indian Air Force has secretly flown to China recently. The destination and mission are unknown. Fourth, according to information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China government, the Prime Minister of India
Nehru and Egyptian President Nasser will visit Myanmar on April 12. Fifth, the Myanmar Intelligence Group of the Security Bureau sent back information that Prime Minister U Nu of the Myanmar government has invited Zhou Enlai of the Chinese Communist Party to visit Myanmar on April 13.
And met with Nehru and Nasser to discuss the policies adopted by all parties at the Asian-African Conference.
Based on the above information, it seems that Zhou Enlai of the Chinese Communist Party will no longer go to Jakarta, Indonesia, via Hong Kong.
Therefore, the fourth item to be discussed at this meeting is: Should Operation No. 1 still be implemented? This is the key issue of today's meeting.
Sitting at the conference table, Ye Gongjin understood his situation very well. Although he was a member of the National Security Council, there was no place for him to speak at today's meeting. He thought that he was just attending. But after listening to various departments, he
The commander's introduction at the meeting made me very worried about Operation "No. 1".
He was not worried about the success of Operation No. 1, but worried about the possible chain reactions after the success of Operation No. 1. He carefully read several materials distributed at the meeting: Zuo Shaoqing’s research
Reports, Guan Jinzhou's report, information about Zhou Enlai's itinerary, etc. He had a feeling that the CCP's "Star" plan was most likely related to Taiwan's "Operation No. 1" against the Asian-African Conference. But he did not want to speak.
Therefore, in this meeting, it was actually Mao Renfeng and Zheng Jiemin who were arguing, although their tone was gentle and calm, and they even maintained the necessary politeness.
Zheng Jiemin said with a smile: "Brother Renfeng, I actually really appreciate the 'No. 1' action you formulated. You have really put in the effort. In the last meeting, I also agreed to implement the 'No. 1' action."
However, the situation has changed now. Now it seems that the CCP leader Zhou will not go to Hong Kong again. So, is our ‘No. 1’ operation still meaningful?”
Mao Renfeng also said gently: "Brother Jiemin's concerns are right. I have actually had such concerns. But after serious consideration, I still think that Operation No. 1 is meaningful."
Zheng Jiemin stretched out his hand to him, "Brother Renfeng, please explain."
Mao Renfeng said: "The main meanings of what I said are as follows. First, you have all read Zuo Shaoqing's report. The report believes that the CCP will use this meeting to expand its influence and compress our diplomatic space. Second, you have read Zuo Shaoqing's report.
, once the 'No. 1' operation is successful, its political impact will be limitless, especially it can show our existence. Third, it can severely blow the CCP's arrogance, make them shrink back, and restrict them to the small circle of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe."
Zheng Jiemin said calmly: "So, do you think the Chinese Communist Party will take advantage of our actions? Zuo's report also mentioned this. The Chinese Communist Party is very good at fighting public opinion wars."
