Although he was an agent secretly trained by the Military Command Bureau, Chen Mingxiang's main task was to deal with the traitors and special high-level courses of Wang's puppet government, rather than sneaking into the base area to work as an undercover agent. Therefore, Pan Qiwu's daily education for him was a bit lacking.
Boss Dai's theory of being highly vigilant about base areas and underground parties did not have a deep impact on him. Therefore, in Chen Mingxiang's heart, now is not the time to engage in internal fighting, but also to help the underground party with permission.
No problem.
However, this matter must be kept to a certain standard and we must not let go. The last thing I said to Lu Kunyu today is the attitude and the solution. It depends on whether the underground party members are smart enough.
"Comrade Zheng Tonghui, you have been working for more than a day or two. Why can't you understand Chen Mingxiang's simple words?" the leader of the purchasing team said with a smile.
"I know what he said must have meant something, but I just couldn't figure out what he was going to say." Zheng Tonghui was also a little embarrassed.
The rules of the game have been set, and I cannot do things beyond this circle. These twenty words are Chen Mingxiang's reply to the underground party.
After Lu Kunyu passed the message back, Zheng Tonghui thought with her that they just couldn't figure out the secret and had no choice but to report it to their superiors.
"What Chen Mingxiang means is that he can't open a transportation channel for me alone. We just have to do what others do. We can't say whether we can do it with proper care," the team leader said.
"I still don't understand the deep meaning of this sentence." Zheng Tonghui felt very depressed.
"Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company conducts private transactions with the Kuomintang-controlled area. This is tacitly approved by the Military Police Headquarters and the Super High School. The so-called rules of the game refer to the Kuomintang-controlled area."
"We can open a company in the Kuomintang-controlled area, come to him openly to discuss business, and then he will help us transport the goods to the designated place, which is of course also the Kuomintang-controlled area. How to disperse the goods to the base area is our business."
"The advantage of this is that even if something goes wrong on our side, for example, if his background is discovered, the Special Education Department will not be able to find him."
"Huatong Trading Company has many businessmen who deal with it. He is not an intelligence agent. It is normal to not know whether it is true or false. But real money and silver cannot be faked. If you have money, it will be easier to explain." The team leader said.
"No wonder he ignored us because of what we did before. This man is really a master. He can get to this level, which shows that there is no real person under his fame." Zheng Tonghui suddenly realized.
Chen Mingxiang is a cautious person. He does not refuse to help the underground party do whatever he can, but he can only take appropriate care of the business and will not mix in other things. He is very mature and sophisticated.
The reason why he didn't agree to Lu Kunyu in the past was because the underground party's method didn't work. They always wanted to use his hands to transport supplies from a base. The risk was too high for him, and if something happened, he himself would be involved.
It is estimated that Lu Kunyu was forced to have no choice but to show his trump card. He had to earn the money he should earn, otherwise he would not be able to make a deal. However, this method can solve the plight of the underground party. Many Japanese soldiers and the Wang Puppet Government strictly
Controlled contraband can be transported to the hands of underground parties, which is nothing more than one more procedure.
"I will immediately report to the organization and follow Chen Mingxiang's request to arrange a dedicated line and personnel from Sichuan Province to Anhui Province. This is a lifeline for the future. At the same time, we must also consider funding issues. Huatong Trading Company does not owe any debts.
I mean, our team doesn’t have enough funds,” the team leader said.
"Comrade Lu Kunyu will soon live with Chen Mingxiang. With her here, we may be able to make an exception for Chen Mingxiang," Zheng Tonghui said.
"Old Zheng, Chen Mingxiang has made it clear that he doesn't want to get too close to us. For him, safety is the first priority. It is not easy to make such a decision."
"We also have to consider him. Comrade Lu Kunyu may be able to help us once or twice in times of emergency. Too many times will not be useful. Who has ever seen a big merchant with nothing but nothing? Then Huatong Trading Company does such a business
Is it still interesting?" the team leader shook his head and said.
"It's a pity that Chen Mingxiang is not our comrade. If that were the case, many problems would not exist, and organizational funding would be very difficult," Zheng Tonghui said.
"Your idea is wrong. Don't pin your work on one person. Our group's transportation line in Shanghai cannot rely on Huatong Trading Company. Even if Chen Mingxiang is his comrade, this model is the most reasonable.
.”
"If you want to turn a blind eye to the special high school, you will have to spend money sooner or later. There are so many material needs in the base area. How much ability does he have to buy materials and bear transportation costs?"
"It's not that Chen Mingxiang can't develop, but he can't be too impatient. He's very wary now. It's not easy to reform a person. Fortunately, we have taken the first step." said the team leader.
There are very few holidays at this time, and the Spring Festival is not included in the holiday time at all, but all fools know that folk customs are a culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it cannot be abolished just because it is abolished.
So, everyone tacitly agreed on this matter, and the Japanese also chose to acquiesce. No one was in the mood to go to work during this period anyway. From the 30th to the first day of the lunar new year, most people at the Secret Service headquarters do not need to go to work, and there are dedicated personnel on duty.
.
"Brother, on your first day at work, you seem to have no energy!" Wu Sibao stood at the door and said with a smile.
"Captain Wu, come in and have a cup of tea. Who wants to go to work before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? I guess those people from the Military Command and Central Command have no intention of causing trouble. Come and show up to report. Go home and go to bed early!"
Chen Mingxiang said with a yawn.
"You are telling the truth. Work when you should work, and rest when you should rest. With the nature of our work, squatting in the office every day feels awkward."
"Next year, Director Li said, Mr. Wang's new government will hold a capital return ceremony soon. Our secret service headquarters is too unorganized and it's not good." Wu Sibao said with a smile.
He is a gangster from the Qing Gang, and the concept of time does not exist for him. Especially during the New Year, his hands are weak when accepting gifts, and he is not in the mood to go to work.
At this moment, Chen Mingxiang heard Wu Sibao snort. He turned around and saw Lin Zhijiang, Wan Lilang, Zhang Jinlu and Lin Huanzhi passing by the door, followed by a group of people, including Su Chengde, Ma Xiaotian, Hu Junhe and others.
Man, it sounds like we are going out for a dinner.
Nothing happened on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Li Shiqun probably didn't have the time to arrange work, so it was the most normal choice to play mahjong and have a meal together.
"There seems to be something wrong. Speaking of which, Captain Wu is the second-in-command at our secret service headquarters. They didn't call you at the party. They went a little too far," Chen Mingxiang said.
