Zheng Wenyou walked around the British Concession and asked many people, but he couldn't find any news.
The reason why Haigu Station was able to survive in the British Concession was not only because of undercover agents like Lu Chengzhou, but more importantly, everyone could abide by the confidentiality system established by Lu Chengzhou.
Haigu Station strictly implements the principle of single-line communication between superiors and subordinates, and no horizontal contact between departments at the same level.
Even if there is a problem in one department, it will not affect the whole.
It was already very late when we returned to the National Hotel.
Zheng Wenyou had only been looking for clues about military commanders. He didn't have time to have dinner. He was already hungry and was going to have something to eat at the National Hotel.
As soon as he walked into the lobby, he suddenly realized that someone was watching him.
Looking back, Zheng Wenyou was surprised to find that the person he had been looking for: Chen Bailu was looking at him with a smile.
"Find a place to chat." Zheng Wenyou's mood suddenly became particularly good.
Chen Bailu originally wanted to talk to Zheng Wenyou in the room upstairs, but Zheng Wenyou was very hungry, so he asked for a private room on the second floor and ordered a few dishes and two kilograms of dumplings.
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Zheng Wenyou waited for the dumplings to arrive, then took one and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about eating.
"I specially waited for you here." Chen Bailu did not move his chopsticks. He took out a cigarette and lit one for himself.
"Did you know I'm here?" Zheng Wenyou was about to pick up dumplings again, but his chopsticks stopped in the air.
"Yeah." Chen Bailu smiled silently when he saw Zheng Wenyou's surprised expression.
"Today's Haigu Station is really different from what it was in the past." Zheng Wenyou said with emotion.
He just arrived in Haigu today, to be precise, he only arrived at the concession in the afternoon.
The military commander came to the door in the evening and sent Chen Bailu to wait in the lobby.
"Let's eat first. If you need anything, go back to your room and talk." Chen Bailu said.
He was also very surprised to learn that Zheng Wenyou had come to Haigu.
Chen Bailu had heard a bit about the situation of the Seventh Route Army.
After all, the Seventh Route Army was just a guerrilla force. Faced with the siege of the Japanese and puppet regular troops, it was quite good that it was not completely wiped out.
"I want to send a report." Zheng Wenyou did not take Chen Bailu to Xie Weihan's room. He followed Chen Bailu to the military commander's room and said the first thing he said.
"We can forward it." Chen Bailu had already guessed what Zheng Wenyou was thinking.
"Can you recommend your deputy stationmaster Huo?" Zheng Wenyou asked.
"Director Zheng, I'm really sorry, it's not convenient for Station Master Huo to meet with people." Chen Bailu shook his head.
He also asked Zeng Zilian about this matter. Zheng Wenyou was also a major general after all, and he was once the military intelligence team leader of Haigu station. Now that he has come to Haigu, Match should meet him.
However, Zeng Zilian told him that Match had already explained this matter and would not meet with the Seventh Route Army people.
"You, the station manager, are so arrogant." Zheng Wenyou was like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on.
The Seventh Route Army was beaten to a pulp by the Japanese and puppets, so he was naturally extremely sensitive.
Is it because the Seventh Route Army lost the battle and Haigu Station looked down upon it?
"Director Zheng is serious. The station commander is still very concerned about the Seventh Route Army. He has arranged a new residence for you and Commander Xie. Here is the address and key." Chen Bailu took out an envelope, which contained a key and
An address, and a wad of money.
Lu Chengzhou didn't know how much money they had with them when they came out, but they would stay at the National Hotel as soon as they arrived in Haigu. I'm afraid that no matter how much money they brought, they wouldn't be able to withstand a few twists and turns.
"I have to discuss this matter with Commander Xie. Please send a report to Chongqing first and report our situation." Zheng Wenyou thought for a moment. He was no longer from Haigu Station. This match needs to be handled.
There was nothing he could do.
The Seventh Route Army was defeated, and as the director of the Political Department, he was already in dire straits, so it was normal for them not to meet him.
Moreover, Chen Bailu revealed the news that Haigu Station already knew that he and Xie Weihan had arrived in Haigu.
Yes, Chen Bailu can wait at the National Hotel. How could he not know that Xie Weihan also lives here?
"I wonder how many people are coming to Haigu this time, Director Zheng? How many troops can be contacted?" Chen Bailu asked.
"Commander Xie and I are here together this time. Please tell me that I need the radio station to contact the headquarters directly." Zheng Wenyou said hesitantly.
He and Xie Weihan were running for their lives, so they didn't have any troops at their disposal.
If they go back to contact them, they may still be able to find some subordinates, but now that they have entered Haigu, they have no plans to go back and suffer in the short term.
"I'll go back and ask the webmaster for instructions." Chen Bailu said noncommittally.
Zheng Wenyou didn't answer the question of how many troops he could contact. Chen Bailu had a question in his mind. His lack of answer was actually an answer.
If Zheng Wenyou still had troops under his command, he probably wouldn't have returned to Haigu with Xie Weihan.
Chen Bailu didn't know whether Match despised Zheng Wenyou, but in his heart, he had some contempt for the Seventh Route Army.
After getting off work, Lu Chengzhou went to No. 26, No. 51 Road, as a match.
This is the headquarters of Haigu Station. As the acting station manager, I will try my best to come here when I have time.
Before Lu Chengzhou came, the call back from the headquarters had arrived.
This is a telegram replied in the name of Dai Li, asking Haigu Station to settle Xie and Zheng, try to meet all their needs, cooperate with them to gather troops, and return to the anti-Japanese battlefield as soon as possible.
"Zheng Wenyou asked me to meet you." Zeng Zilian and Chen Bailu have been waiting for Lu Chengzhou.
"There is no problem in meeting, let's meet tomorrow afternoon. Team leader Chen, what do they want to do when they come to Haigu?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
Xie Weihan and Zheng Wenyou came to Haigu mainly because they wanted to get in touch with the headquarters.
But he didn't know if it had any other purpose.
"He just wants a radio station to communicate with the headquarters alone. He doesn't seem to have any troops at his disposal anymore," Chen Bailu reported.
"Tomorrow morning, send them a radio station. Also, give him our spare code book." Lu Chengzhou said thoughtfully.
He estimated that Zheng Wenyou was in such a hurry that he might not have brought the code book with him.
"Okay." Chen Bailu thought to himself, Match was more thoughtful.
If Zheng Wenyou didn't have the code book, he might not be able to contact the headquarters even if he was given the radio station.
After Chen Bailu left, Zeng Zilian told Lu Chengyi about something. This afternoon, Lin Yi from the police station investigated Huang Wenmai.
"It seems that Lin Yi and Tao Jie got together." Lu Chengzhou murmured.
"I asked Hu Ranwei whether Tao Jie had a close relationship with Lin Yi," Zeng Zilian said immediately.
"What did you ask?" Lu Chengzhou asked. When he chose Shude Primary School as the location, he had already considered this.
It is true that Huang Wenmai is a teacher at Shude Primary School, but the entire training class has nothing to do with Huang Wenmai.
