"I have something to report." Xue Sangen sat down and said.
"Say." Qian Zhiliang, director of the Eighth Route Army's Shancheng Office, said.
Xue Sangen immediately explained the current information clearly.
"Who did you say came from the Intelligence Department?"
"Zhu Yue, Song Shutang." Xue Sangen was a little strange. The focus of the whole matter was not on the people coming from the Intelligence Department. Why did Qian Zhiliang pay attention to this issue in the first place.
Qian Zhiliang paused for a moment and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
Xue Sangen understood Qian Zhiliang and naturally understood that there was something wrong with the pause. He asked: "Zhu Yue, is there anything wrong with Song Shutang?"
"nothing."
"I understand." Xue Sangen said with a look of understanding.
Qian Zhiliang couldn't help but said: "It's really nothing."
"What about your reaction?" Xue Sangeng was confused.
"It involves some other things, so I can't say more now."
"Okay, as for this matter, my opinion is that the Intelligence Division did not lie to us."
"Cooperate with them?"
"Of course the director knew that." Xue Sangen was now sure that the Intelligence Division was investigating the Japanese espionage incident, but he did not think it was appropriate to provide photos of all members.
Qian Zhiliang said: "How can we conduct screening without providing photos?"
As for the inadvisability of internal investigation, not to mention the panic caused by it, being able to work for the "Xinhua Daily" means that you are clean, and the time-consuming and thankless self-examination is far less fast and efficient than letting Japanese spies conduct identification.
"This is not for discussion with the director." Xue Sangen said with a smile.
"The people from the Intelligence Department haven't left yet?"
"It seems like today I won't leave if I don't get an answer."
"Then there are only two ways at the moment."
"The director made it clear."
"The first way is to have the Japanese spies captured by the Intelligence Division come to the office for screening, so that the photos will not fall into the hands of the Intelligence Division."
"Can they agree?" Xue Sangen found it difficult to get the other party to agree.
"The second method is to mix in the photos many photos of unrelated people, especially those close to the Kuomintang or secretly close, as well as some people who have friction with us, so that the Intelligence Section cannot immediately infer that the people in the photos are related to us.
Relationship."
Two ways!
Xue Sangen felt very reluctant.
"Director, no matter which method is used, if there is a spy among us, it will definitely fall into the hands of the military commander. At that time, the spy will not only provide information about the Japanese, but also our intelligence.
.”
This is indeed a problem.
Qian Zhiliang said: "The military commander's attitude is firm. Mo Jian only sent two team leaders, but his intention is clear. If we really have a stalemate with them, it will be detrimental to us in terms of making the matter a big public opinion."
The military commander wanted to get hold of the office information for no reason, which was inconsistent with the situation and made the noise known to everyone. The people would criticize the Kuomintang for taking the initiative to cause friction, which was not conducive to unity in the war of resistance.
But now the situation is that the military commander is really investigating the Japanese spies. When things get agitated, everyone's hatred for the Japanese spies will be transferred to the office to stall the investigation, and public opinion will be at a disadvantage.
It is difficult for people to consider some issues from the perspective of the office.
Instead, get used to being straightforward.
"In that case, let them investigate. It will also help us eliminate Japanese spies." Xue Sangeng said.
"Try to use the first method as a compromise, and the loss will be smaller." Qian Zhiliang also knows that the first method is more difficult, but more controllable.
"Okay, I'll go talk to them." Xue Sangen planned to go back to see Zhu Yue and Song Shutang.
"If the military commander refuses to let go, let's fight with them first. Besides, the spy may not be among us at all." Qian Zhiliang knows the staff of "Xinhua Daily" and does not think that anyone may be a spy.
.
But now he doesn't take it for granted, he should rule it out anyway.
After Xue Sangen left, Qian Zhiliang also went out.
Go find the person in charge of the Southern Bureau.
After listening to Qian Zhiliang's report, the head of the Southern Bureau thought there was nothing wrong with his decision.
There are many restrictions on working in mountain cities, so it is not suitable for conflicts and it is not suitable to cause negative impact on public opinion.
Furthermore, the Intelligence Section is indeed here to capture Japanese spies, so facing a common enemy, they must act in unison to the outside world.
"Secretary, one of the visitors from the Intelligence Department this time is Song Shutang." Qian Zhiliang said finally.
"The Song Shutang that Comrade Ksitigarbha reported to before?" Secretary Zhou asked.
"It's him."
"What do you think of Comrade Ksitigarbha's suggestion?"
"'Ksitigarbha' is an old comrade. Since he made such a suggestion, he must have his reasons. However, the current situation is very complicated, and the words of 'Ksitigarbha' are speculation without clear evidence. In my opinion, there is no need to worry."
"No need to worry?"
"yes."
"Then ignore it for now."
"clear."
After the report was over, Qian Zhiliang returned from Secretary Zhou's office to his own office.
He didn't pay too much attention to the issue of Song Shutang, just as he said he was not in a hurry.
At this moment, in Xue Sangen's office, Zhu Yue and him were already at war with each other.
Why?
Xue Sangeng was tactful but resolute, asking Du Changhai, the "spear ant", to come to the office for photo identification.
How could Zhu Yue agree to this?
"Director Xue doesn't want to cooperate?" Zhu Yue asked seriously.
"What Team Leader Zhu said is wrong. This move is just for full cooperation. Team Leader Zhu might as well think about it. If I order "Xinhua Daily" to provide photos again, will Guike believe that the photos provided are all?
I'm afraid there will still be doubts in the mind that the photos are incomplete. After the screening fails, this doubt will be difficult to explain. Then Guike will hold on to it and ask again and again to provide photos. Where did "Xinhua Daily" provide them?
?
It would be better to let the Japanese spies come here to identify, not because we have any concerns, but to dispel your concerns and make Team Leader Zhu think that we have nothing to hide. If there is no discovery in this case, we can also explain it is not the case." Xue San
What he said is clear and logical.
It does make sense at first glance.
But to put it bluntly, they just don’t want the Intelligence Department to have access to their personnel information.
Xue Sangen's move is tantamount to admitting that Xinhua Daily concealed photos of its staff, but everyone is well aware of this and there is no need to engage in a verbal dispute.
"Team Leader Zhu, why don't you call Chief Shen and ask what he wants." After Xue Sangen finished speaking, he suggested asking Shen Lushui for his opinion.
It was also reminding Zhu Yue.
It's difficult to make this decision based on your identity.
At Zhu Yue's signal, Song Shutang stood up and picked up the phone in Xue Sangen's office.
Zhu Yue used an excuse to ask Xue Sangen to go out with him to give Song Shutang an independent space.
"Section Chief, I am Song Shutang."
"Director Xue of the Eighth Route Army Office in Shancheng made a suggestion..."
After listening to Song Shutang's report on the phone, Shen Lushui sneered and said: "These red party members are all accountants, and their abacus is making a clatter."
"Are we going to agree?"
"I can agree."
"Aren't you going to force them to continue to provide photos?" Song Shutang believed that it was an indisputable fact that the office was weak in the mountain city. Now that they had righteousness at hand, the other party would inevitably give in under pressure.
Shen Lushui said: "If you force them to provide photos, I'm afraid they will be messed up photos. If the investigation is not good, it will have consequences. At the same time, Director Xue is right when he says that if Japanese spies go to the office to screen the photos, they will not If you know how to hide something, if you have it, you have it, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. We can also be aware of it, so as not to have doubts at the end of the investigation."
"I understand, section chief."
In fact, Shen Lushui had a very clear idea in his mind.
The most important thing now is to capture the 'killer bees' and uproot the Six-legged Group.
Asking "Xinhua Daily" to provide photos again and handing them over to Du Changhai for identification has failed. I'm afraid you still have to wonder whether "Xinhua Daily" still failed to provide all the photos, which will greatly affect the pace and direction of your investigation.
Send Du Changhai to identify them and arrest them if they are found; if not, change directions and continue the investigation.
At least it won't delay things.
The investigation pursues efficiency, and the six-legged team is more important to Shen Lushui. Wasting time is likely to miss the opportunity, which will lead to regrets.
