Kawasaki Hiro originally thought that Lu Chengzhou had many interactions with rickshaw pullers, so asking Zhang Sichang to disguise himself as a rickshaw puller would not only hand over information to Lu Chengzhou, but also take the opportunity to infiltrate the group of rickshaw pullers.
However, Lu Chengzhou has a bicycle, so he can't ride a rickshaw every day, right?
Moreover, pulling a rickshaw is a hard job, but it is okay to take cover occasionally.
But to regard this as a career, I am afraid Zhang Sichang cannot do it.
There is a saying that goes, beggars don’t get up early, because beggars who get up early can’t be beggars.
There are not many Chinese intelligence agents who can endure hardship. They are all greedy and lazy. Let them work as coolies for three to five days, but over time, something will happen.
Kawasaki Hiroshi also knew that it was simply impossible for someone like Zhang Sichang to break into the group of rickshaw pullers.
Letting Zhang Sichang open a grocery store will indeed give them better friendship and intelligence.
Lu Chengzhou buys cigarettes every day and puts information in his money. Who can tell?
In fact, Lu Chengzhou had another suggestion, which could completely satisfy Kawasaki Hiroshi's request. He asked Zhang Sichang to open a teahouse for rickshaw pullers to rest.
As long as the price is cheap and food is provided, won't it attract all the rickshaw pullers from the British Concession?
However, he didn't want to say this suggestion, so he just pretended that he hadn't thought of it.
In the future, if there is an opportunity, let the party organization set up a teahouse like this, and Lu Chengzhou can also go to drink tea from time to time.
Lu Chengzhou was very happy after taking Kawasaki Hiroshi's money and receiving verbal praise.
No matter what Kawasaki Hiroshi thinks, at least he can meet with him, which shows that he still attaches great importance to the intelligence of the British Concession.
After meeting with Kawasaki Hiroshi, Lu Chengzhou went to the French Concession and put another copy of "The Northwest Corner of China", together with the latest information, into the military commander's dead mailbox.
Lu Chengzhou came up with an idea to fund Zhang Baotou or Zhu Biao to set up a teahouse specifically to serve rickshaw pullers to better collect their intelligence.
Lu Chengzhou and Liu Youjun have not seen each other for a while, and he and Li Xiangxue have met even less frequently.
Lu Chengzhou was under surveillance by the military commander. At the same time, there was a liaison officer from the Japanese secret service in the British Concession. Who knows if Zhang Sichang might also be secretly monitoring him?
During this period, the less often Lu Chengzhou and Li Xiangxue meet, the better.
But the more this happened, the more Lu Chengzhou was eager to meet Li Xiangxue.
Meeting Li Xiangxue was not only to report work to the organization, but also to relieve the pressure in my heart.
Lu Chengzhou seemed to be living a peaceful life, but his nerves were tense all day long.
He always worries that one day his nerves will snap.
Meeting Li Xiangxue, even if he just exchanged a few words about home affairs, made Lu Chengzhou feel particularly comfortable.
In front of Li Xiangxue, Lu Chengzhou could completely relax, even if it was only for a few minutes, it made him long for it.
Lu Chengzhou also brought a copy of this book "The Northwest Corner of China" to Li Xiangxue.
Lu Chengzhou read this book that promoted the Red Army's Long March every day. He had long been familiar with the contents of the book.
Some articles can even be memorized backwards and forwards.
During the Long March, the Red Army was blocked in front and pursued behind. Facing the Kuomintang's pursuit and interception, the Red Army climbed mountains and waded all the way. It not only repelled the Kuomintang's attacks, but also won many victories.
After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, party organizations in various places finally restored contact with the central government.
"I also saw this book in the bookstore and was thinking about buying it in a few days." Li Xiangxue said with a smile after getting Lu Chengzhou's book.
It's not that he doesn't want to buy it, but he is short of money.
"I can memorize this book word for word. I still have a copy in my hand. I can take it over if needed," Lu Chengzhou said.
"Let's talk about it then. Your work has been going very well recently. The organization already knows about your secret support for the rickshaw driver." Li Xiangxue said slowly.
"I did not report this matter to the organization in time and request punishment." Lu Chengzhou said with shame.
The student movement and labor movement have always been the strengths of our party.
But the situation at the time did not allow him to communicate with the organization, not least because he was under military surveillance.
If the military commander or the Japanese secret service knew that the CCP was involved in the rickshaw strike, their impression of him would naturally be greatly reduced.
In the eyes of the military command and the Japanese secret service, there are obvious traces of a strike organized by the CCP.
"The organization was really angry at the time, but after reading your report, I pointed out to my superiors that your handling was correct." Li Xiangxue said slowly.
If the rickshaw pullers in the British Concession went on strike under the leadership of a party organization, they would definitely achieve greater results and even cause a sensation across the country.
However, if the British Concession Industry Bureau learned that the Communist Party was involved in the rickshaw strike, would its attitude towards the Communist Party change?
Many organizations of the Communist Party were active in the British Concession.
But in the British Concession, these organizations tried not to develop power, at least, not to affect the British Concession.
There are also military commanders and Japanese secret services. Once they know that the rickshaw strike is involving the CCP, will Lu Chengzhou have a question mark in their minds?
As long as you have doubts about some things, you will never trust them again for the rest of your life.
"I hope that the organization can send people to communicate with the rickshaw pullers in the British Concession. Some of them are very patriotic. If we can win over them, it will also be conducive to the activities of the party organization in the British Concession." Lu Chengzhou suggested.
"I will report it to the organization." Li Xiangxue said.
When Lu Chengzhou met with Zhang Baotou the next day, he told him about the manpower rest.
"We put the car on the street so we can rest at any time," Zhang Baotou said with a smile.
"Have you never thought about which teahouse to go to for a cup of tea or snacks?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"How much money can you make from pulling a cart in a day? How dare you go to drink tea? As for eating snacks, it is even more unthinkable." Zhang Baotou shook his head.
Only then did Lu Chengzhou realize that his thoughts were sometimes naive.
Rickshaw drivers don't make much money every day, so every penny must be put to practical use.
Even if a cup of tea only costs a penny, they may not be willing to part with it.
Lu Chengzhou originally wanted to sponsor Zhang Baotou to open a teahouse specifically to serve rickshaw pullers, but after hearing this, he didn't mention it again.
At noon, when Lu Chengzhou went to Gordon Hall, he met Wen Xiufeng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
This so-called detective changed his previous decadence and became as energetic as a victorious rooster, standing proudly when he saw everyone.
Lu Chengzhou was very surprised, and he didn't want to ask him face to face. He made some inquiries and found out that a theft case had been solved.
Lu Chengzhou was very disapproving at the time. Wasn't it just a theft case? Is it necessary to be so public?
When Lu Chengzhou met Ruan Jiangong, he found that Ruan Jiangong had a gloomy face, and thought to himself, the case that Wen Xiufeng solved was not related to Ruan Jiangong, right?
