It may be the hottest topic of conversation among people in mountain cities after dinner.
It's no wonder, after all, the "Ta Kung Pao" extra article first reported the entire process of following the inspection team to Xifeng Xingyuan in the tone of an eyewitness, and after clarifying the so-called arrests of protesting students and malicious political persecution, etc.,
Then he suddenly turned his pen and turned everyone's attention to a mysterious old woman named Mrs. Zhou.
Speaking of this old lady Zhou, she is definitely the most special one detained in Xifeng Prison. Not only is her prison cell a separate new building outside the prison, she also has dedicated attendants. In addition,
In addition, you will be given generous living expenses every month and allowed to move freely within a certain range. What is even more bizarre is that in the entire Xifeng Xingyuan, from the director Zhou Yanghao down, all the secret agents, big and small, respectfully call her "Old Mrs. Zhou"
.
Not only that, because Mrs. Zhou was old and sick, Zhou Yanghao would from time to time invite famous doctors from Chongqing, Guiyang and other places to treat her, and all the expenses would be borne by the military commander.
All these things naturally aroused everyone's curiosity, but the author just missed the mark at the end of the extra chapter. Instead of revealing the identity of this person, he instead asked a loud question in a popular tone, "Old Mrs. Zhou.
Who are they?"
Just as the discussions and rumors about "Old Mrs. Zhou" were intensifying, Dai Li, who was already very busy, was called to the Huangshan Villa overnight.
"Principal, are you looking for me?" Although Dai Li was already exhausted at this time, he still had to brace himself and said respectfully in front of his biggest supporter.
However, before he finished speaking, the bald man sitting across from him slammed the extra number in his hand in front of Dai Li and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
After a long silence, Dai Li carefully replied: "...Principal, have you forgotten? That old lady Zhou..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Jiang across from him slammed the table and asked angrily: "Who asked you this? What I'm asking you is, how did this matter reach the Ta Kung Newspaper Office? Is it you and your people?
The subordinates accidentally leaked the news, or..."
"If I go back to the principal, it's... it was deliberately arranged by the students."
"Oh?" After hearing this, Old Jiang's face looked better, but then he narrowed his eyes and continued to ask expressionlessly, "What's the reason?"
Dai Li seemed to have been prepared, and Lao Jiang immediately replied before he finished speaking: "There are three reasons. One is to let Zhou Fohai understand his mother's current situation in this way, and then prompt him to take the initiative to release Wan Molin;
, is to divert the public’s attention from focusing on the violent demonstrations and the so-called political persecution; this third..."
Speaking of this, Dai Li obviously hesitated for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he bravely stepped forward and whispered in a lowered voice.
"What did you say? That Shibayama Kenshiro actually...is the information true?"
Dai Li nodded with a sad face, "I have sent the new Nanjing Station Chief Li Weigong to verify it. The information is true."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Jiang was so shocked that he opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time, but could not say a word. His face was full of distress, but what he was distressed about was not other things, but his own face and his reputation among those allies.
Especially the image and status in the minds of Britain and the United States.
And Dai Li was truly Chiang Kai-shek's number one confidant. You didn't need to guess to know what he was thinking at this moment, so he quickly spoke to comfort him: "Principal, don't worry, as the saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Although we suffered heavy losses this time,
But from the students’ point of view, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
Hearing this, Lao Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately sat up straight, stretched his neck as far as he could, and asked urgently: "How do you say that?"
"According to the intelligence analysis that Zheng Yaoxian desperately brought back, it is not difficult to see that the Japanese plan to attack south is basically finalized. Judging from the reaction of the British and American after learning this intelligence, it seems that they do not think that the Japanese dare to really
Falling out against them, after all, if Japan continues to maintain a state of war, it must import a large amount of resources from them. Falling out is tantamount to suicide. I believe that the reason why the Japanese have still not moved so far is the same in nine cases out of ten.
concerns.”
"Well, the analysis is good, but what does this have to do with that matter?"
"Students met, since we have suffered huge losses this time, it is better to simply take advantage of the situation and exaggerate the actual losses. If necessary, we can even completely stop the intelligence work in the Shanghai-Nanjing area. In this way, it can make the Japanese mistakenly believe that
I have no worries anymore. I can mobilize garrison troops from the Shanghai-Nanjing area to reduce the pressure on the surrounding National Salvation Army. I can also take the opportunity to ask for more assistance from the allies. After all, we have restrained most of the Japanese troops. The allies will never
Just sit back and do nothing."
"Well said!" These words simply spoke to Lao Jiang's heart, and he even couldn't help but clapped his hands, but then he frowned and said worriedly, "If this happens, I'm afraid
It hinders the international view and damages our reputation in the world!"
"Principal, don't worry. After all, we are the victims of this incident. And just before this incident, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department just solved a spy case, which will include Hidemi Ozaki, the advisor and secretary of former Prime Minister Konoe Fumima."
, all members of the Ramza team, secretly led by Sorge, the Red-produced international spy, were arrested, which later led to the 'Chinese-Red Spy Case', which resulted in the Red Party's underground party in Shanghai also being arrested..."
Hearing this, Lao Jiang's brows that had been furrowed just now slowly relaxed, "You mean to pour this basin of dirty water on those underground party members? I'm not talking about you, Yu Nong, you
This move is really destructive! I’m afraid the Red Party won’t swallow this easily, right?”
"That's natural, but even if they don't want to admit it, according to the students' understanding of them, at best they just publish a few articles in newspapers and bicker. In the end, they still have to take the overall situation into consideration and maintain their so-called anti-Japanese national united front.
of."
"Oh, Yunong, no wonder the ancients often said that a gentleman can be bullied. You really figured out the minds of those red party members!"
"Principal, you are very commendable. 'Gather the will and protect the leader' is the original intention of the students to form the military unification. As long as it is beneficial to the party and the country, and to you, principal, no matter how dirty, insidious and despicable methods are, the students will not hesitate to use them and will never
There will be a little bit of hesitation.”
"Well said! Then... let's do it!"
…
After coming out of the Huangshan Villa, the flattery on Dai Li's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a look of pride. Not only did he straighten his back instantly, he even walked with a wind in his eyes.
However, after getting back in the car, Dai Li did not go directly back home, nor did he go to the military headquarters. Instead, he asked the driver to drive directly to the guest house next to Shulu, and swaggeringly knocked on Li Qiang's door.
door.
Li Qiang was naturally surprised by Dai Li's sudden visit, but since he was always concerned about the situation in Shanghai, he put aside other worries for the time being and let Dai Li in respectfully.
Seeing Dai Li come in, Haitang wisely stood up to avoid it, but was stopped by him, so she sat back down again.
After the three of them sat down, Dai Li did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Aqiang, Haitang, I am here this time to tell you two pieces of news, one of which is good news, and the other is bad.
News, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let me tell you the bad news first!" Li Qiang took a deep breath and said slowly.
"After verification by many parties, unfortunately, your worries have come true. Something did happen in Shanghai. The entire Shanghai Station suffered unprecedented damage and we suffered heavy losses."
Although Li Qiang had already prepared for the worst, when Li Qiang heard the news from Dai Li, he still unconsciously felt a severe cramp in his heart, and his chest seemed to be blocked by something.
, it became very difficult to even breathe.
Begonia beside her was also filled with distress, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only gently hold Li Qiang's hand and comfort her.
After a long time, Li Qiang finally calmed down and asked with difficulty: "What happened?"
"Aqiang, I'll tell you the truth. At the end of last month, more than ten people in Shanghai were arrested in a joint manhunt led by Shibayama Kenshiro's right-hand man Fujita Tsuyoshi, the Special High School Division and No. 76. What's even more terrible is that
However, the district accountant was actually among them, resulting in a large number of bills recording relevant actions and personnel of related units falling into the hands of the enemy. Naturally, the Japanese and puppets found a treasure and immediately used it as tracing clues and evidence. At that time, a new round of
A larger-scale arrest operation. Although Lao Chen had been alerted by insiders, he was still on the way to discuss countermeasures with Lao Qi. Unfortunately, he was caught by the agents of No. 76 and accepted the traitor Wan Lilang that night.
interrogation and persuasion to surrender.”
Hearing this, Li Qiang's expression became more solemn, "What happened next?"
However, before he finished speaking, Dai Li's expression suddenly became extremely painful, "I don't know, but with the arrest of Chen and Qi, the liaison station and intelligence network that had been restored with great difficulty were successively destroyed. As a result, the entire
Shanghai’s intelligence work is basically paralyzed now.”
"how so?"
"Obviously, we have a traitor within our ranks." Having said this, Dai Li sighed heavily, and the expression on his face gradually became complicated, and he did not continue to speak.
Li Qiang did not follow him into silence, but bravely continued to ask: "How dare I ask the boss, what is the good news?"
"The good news is that although the entire Shanghai intelligence network has basically been completely paralyzed, there is still a sleeper team that has escaped unscathed and escaped this sudden storm. That is your nominal eldest brother and his poisonous snakes
The team's success has saved some of our strength, and this alone is a great achievement!"
"This..." As soon as these words came out, the cold sweat on Li Qiang's forehead suddenly fell down. This is not good news. It is simply a reminder for Minglou. So many people have been implicated. Why should he?
Can you take care of yourself and escape unscathed? If everything is true as Dai Li said, then Minglou is more appropriate to be said to be the number one suspect than a great hero.
"I think with Big Brother... no, with Viper's abilities and methods, even if he really becomes a convert, he only needs to find a scapegoat to take the blame for himself, and he will definitely not put himself in such embarrassment.
It is the last resort in the situation. So..."
However, before Li Qiang could finish his words, Dai Li immediately ended the conversation, "So, it's either a deliberate act by someone with good intentions, or your eldest brother acts so flawlessly that he can't see any flaws for days. Do you think it will be?"
Which one?"
"As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in this world. There will be flaws in strict plans. The same goes for people. No matter how cautious you are, you can't make it seamless and perfect. Therefore, my subordinates prefer the former, otherwise the former Lao Wen
Chi’s appearance is so unreasonable.”
"Well, it seems that you and I have the same views on this point. If that's the case, will you still return to the enemy camp as planned?"
Li Qiang didn't hesitate at all and replied decisively: "Of course."
"Okay!" With that, Dai Li took out a list and a map from his arms, "Here is a list of people who were lucky enough to successfully evacuate Shanghai. Currently, they are all secretly placed in Wuhan by the new Nanjing District Chief Li Weigong.
In a safe house. I have marked the specific location on the map for you."
"This is..." Li Qiang didn't look at it but luckily saw that what Dai Li took out turned out to be a map of Suzhou, and he was immediately surprised. "You want me to find this traitor among these people?"
"That's right, and I have also obtained the principal's approval. No matter what previous supervisory titles any of these people have, you can review them. If you find anything, you can bypass Room A and report directly to me."
"Yes!" Li Qiang responded without hesitation, took the two things with both hands, and with just a brief glance, he had already memorized the contents of the two things with his amazing memory, making it easy for him.
He threw it to Begonia beside him.
Dai Li was about to say something when he saw this, when he saw Haitang without even looking at him, he took out the matches and burned the two things.
Dai Li then felt relieved and said with a hint of shame: "It seems that I have worried too much. The madman's concept of a life and death partner is somewhat reflected in the two of you."
Faced with Dai Li's outspoken praise, Li Qiang would have deliberately said a few words of modesty under normal circumstances. However, at this time, he no longer had that thought, because he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to figure it out as soon as possible.
