In a small French-style Western-style building on Haige Road in the public concession, two bottles of Shaoxing rice wine and several side dishes were placed on the coffee table. Chen Gongshu, Qi Qingbin, Gui Tiaofei and others were serving wine to calm the rescued Liu Yuanshen.
This is the residence of Liu Yuanshen. Except for a few people such as the leaders of the district headquarters, most people in Shanghai District do not know that he lives here. For safety reasons, senior officials live separately. For example, Qi Qingbin lives in the west part of the public concession.
Moru.
The district headquarters of Shanghai District 1 is located on Pushi Road in the French Concession, but except for the First Action Brigade, the other brigades and intelligence teams operate within the public concession.
The scene this morning was so thrilling. If Zhan Sen hadn't suddenly come to his aid, Liu Yuanshen would have almost fallen into the hands of the secret service headquarters.
"Zhan Sen is our ace in Shanghai District 1. If it weren't for that woman's problem, he wouldn't have left Shanghai. Now he is sent to work in another department by Boss Dai. It's really a pity."
"We can also feel from what happened today that this secret agency is very extraordinary. It was actually able to secretly monitor Wan Lilang's whereabouts and thus discovered the existence of the traitor." Chen Gongshu said while blowing out smoke.
Although he didn't know Wan Lilang, he knew this man very well. The traitor in Shanghai District 1 and the sworn enemy of the military commander not only trapped two major generals of the military commander, but also betrayed many comrades. This time he almost arrested Liu Yuanshen
Walk.
Putting aside the hostile relationship, Chen Gongshu admires Wan Lilang's professionalism and scheming methods very much. It is a pity that he went astray, otherwise Shanghai District 1 would have been even more powerful.
Zhan Sen's agency was able to pinpoint the traces of a senior spy. It was not easy for him to remain undiscovered for such a long time.
"Shanghai is the largest financial center in Asia and the leader in industry and commerce in the country. It is not only very important to the mountain city government, but also to the Military Command Bureau. Even Jinling does not have as high a status as the Shanghai Stock Exchange."
"The Japanese also attach great importance to Shanghai. Most of the intelligence agencies are located here, such as the Mei Agency, the Central China Liaison Department of the Koya Institute, the Japanese Army Ministry's Secret Service in Shanghai, the Kodama Agency, etc., and they also support an agent.
Headquarters, and in comparison, Jinling is far behind."
"As a gathering place for Japanese intelligence agencies, and the environment is so complex, the bureau headquarters must have arranged more than one directly affiliated agency. This is normal."
"Our Shanghai District No. 1 was at the forefront and continued to use violent means to carry out activities, attracting the attention of the Japanese and puppet parties and reducing the pressure on other departments."
"I judge that the scale of these departments is not large, with more than a dozen people and as few as a few people. They mainly do intelligence work." Qi Qingbin said.
Shanghai District 1 is the largest division of the Military Command Bureau, with an establishment of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of legal currency every month. This has mobilized all the resources of the Military Command Bureau. It is impossible for Boss Dai to have the power to form a huge organization of the same size.
.
However, Shanghai District 1 also has its own weaknesses. Most of the personnel are transferred from the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. Their military quality is acceptable and their operational capabilities are outstanding. However, their special agent skills are lacking, and their intelligence collection work is somewhat unsatisfactory.
The eight subordinate intelligence groups have not performed well since their establishment and have not obtained any important intelligence. The bureau headquarters is very dissatisfied with this.
"Boss Dai will send a special correspondent to Shanghai in the near future. It is probably related to what happened recently. Since the assassination of Zhang Xiaolin and Fu Xiaoan, we have not made any big moves, and we have not made any achievements in intelligence. Instead, we have
With a traitor like Zhou Xiyuan, Boss Dai is a little worried," Gui Tiaofei said.
He is a direct descendant of Chen Gongshu and serves as the assistant secretary of Shanghai District 1. He is mainly responsible for personnel work and is also one of the core figures.
"There will never be a shortage of traitors at any time. This is a normal thing. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. In addition, the mountain city government is unable to launch an attack on the Japanese army and regain the lost territory. The Wang Puppet Government has also established a foothold in Central China. Those who are not willing to
Determined people are easily influenced." Chen Gongshu disagreed with this.
This is indeed an unavoidable phenomenon. More than half of China's mountains and rivers have fallen, and the mountain city government has shrunk in the southwest and can barely breathe. Even the committee members and Boss Dai do not dare to know how long the war will go on and what the final outcome will be. For ordinary people,
For agents, it will inevitably cause a psychological impact.
The Wang Puppet Government gained a firm foothold and began to recruit a large number of troops from the Shancheng Government. In February this year, Li Changjiang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu-Anhui Guerrilla Column, led his troops to surrender to the enemy. More than 10,000 people joined the puppet army and were organized into the First Group Army.
Yang Zhonghua, commander of the 8th Security Brigade of Jiangsu Province, a local security force affiliated with Han Deqin, publicly surrendered in March this year. He was appointed by the Wang Puppet Government as the Commander-in-Chief of Appeasement in the Jiangsu-Anhui Border Region, and his subordinates were organized into four divisions.
These are just two examples. There are many such behaviors. Even the troops under the Juntong Zhongyi National Salvation Army also surrendered, such as Xie Wenda, who was a disciple of the Emperor and a student of the first phase of Huangpu.
"How is Zhou Xiyuan doing now? Have we taken any measures?" Liu Yuanshen asked.
"The third detachment has received a notice from the district headquarters and been ordered to evacuate the Shanghai market. Wan Lilang will not gain anything," Qi Qingbin said.
"This guy is the branch captain. He knows a lot of our secrets. To be on the safe side, it's best to kill this guy, otherwise there will be trouble." Liu Yuanshen said.
"It is unlikely for the time being. He is under the protection of Wan Lilang and we cannot take action at all. When the situation calms down and he relaxes his vigilance and dares to come out for activities, we will enforce discipline on him." Qi Qingbin said.
"According to the order of the bureau headquarters, when the special commissioner returns, I will also go back to the mountain city to participate in the advanced special training class. The road ahead in Shanghai District 1 is very difficult, and Jiang Anhua's brigade is being targeted by the enemy again. You should be cautious.
Don’t be careless.”
"There are various signs that we may have encountered the most serious crisis. Who knows how many people will waver in their will to resist Japan." Liu Yuanshen raised his glass and said.
The Senior Special Training Class of the Military Command Bureau was established specifically to train senior officers. After graduation, they will take up important positions, either staying at the bureau headquarters, or going to local stations to serve as station chiefs or deputy station chiefs. It can be said that they have a bright future.
.
But Liu Yuanshen was very worried about the situation of Shanghai District 1. After all, they were comrades fighting side by side and getting along like brothers. He really didn't want to see major losses in Shanghai District 1.
"Don't worry, go to the mountain city for training. We can handle this situation, not to mention the support from our brother departments. Shanghai District 1 is not fighting on its own."
"There were traitors in the Third Detachment of the First Brigade and Jiang Anhua's Brigade. We were warned in advance. This also proves that the bureau headquarters mobilized the intelligence power of Shanghai to provide support for Shanghai District 1. Besides, we also have our own secret intelligence sources." Chen Gongshu.
