Ma Yuzhen is Ant's traffic officer. It is reasonable for her superiors to send a traffic officer to contact her.
But after arriving at No. 70, No. 7, Ma Yuzhen was surprised to find that it was Cheng Ruien who opened the door.
Ma Yuzhen had known for a long time that Cheng Ruien was already a member of the Communist Party.
But she never expected that the traffic officer sent by her superiors to contact her this time would be Cheng Ruien.
"Yuzhen!" Cheng Ruian blurted out in surprise when he saw Ma Yuzhen.
"Hello, is this Mr. Mu?" Ma Yuzhen ignored Cheng Ruian and said the first code word for a connection.
"There are two Mr. Mu here, which one are you looking for?" Cheng Ruian immediately calmed down and said seriously.
"I'm looking for Mr. Mu from Shuangmu." Ma Yuzhen said in a deep voice.
"I'm Mr. Lin." Cheng Ruien stepped aside and let Ma Yuzhen in.
"You seem to know it's me?" Ma Yuzhen asked curiously after walking into the house.
"Yuzhen, it's so hard for you to hide this from me." Cheng Ruien said helplessly.
"I'm just abiding by organizational discipline." Ma Yuzhen said lightly.
If she and Cheng Ruien were not on the same page, she would never admit her identity.
"You are indeed right to abide by the confidentiality discipline. It was me who was wrong for thinking that you had left the party." Cheng Ruien said with a wry smile.
"You just believe it. If you don't believe it, wouldn't my mission have failed?" Ma Yuzhen smiled, and after waiting for a while, she suddenly asked: "Now that you know me, have you seen ants?"
Since serving as Ant's traffic officer, she has never known Ant's true identity.
She knew that the ants must be lurking somewhere in the British Concession, possibly even under the eyes of the enemy.
However, for such a long time, she has been unable to confirm the identity of Ant.
"Yes." Cheng Ruien nodded and said casually.
"Who is he?" Ma Yuzhen asked in surprise.
"He's an ant." Cheng Ruien suddenly realized that the relationship between Ma Yuzhen and Lu Chengzhou was very special. It was actually a good thing that she didn't know Lu Chengzhou's true identity.
Haigu Station is now in charge of Lu Chengzhou, and he and Ma Yuzhen can be very close.
But what if something unexpected happens?
"Why, you can't tell me?" Ma Yuzhen said angrily.
"This is what Ant means. He is the superior now, so I have to obey, right?" Cheng Ruien said with a smile.
Even though Lu Chengzhou had been participating in the revolution longer than Cheng Ruien, although Lu Chengzhou didn't say it, he was sure that Lu Chengzhou should have joined the Communist Party when he was in the police training center.
"He is a superior now? It seems that you know him, and I should know him too." Ma Yuzhen is no longer the innocent and passionate young man she was before.
Cheng Ruien's words let her know a lot of information.
She believed that only the last layer of window paper was left.
"From now on, under normal circumstances, we can just communicate. I will pass on the instructions and tasks from my superiors to you, and you will still serve as Ant's traffic officer. Only in special circumstances will I contact him directly." Cheng Ruien said.
This may seem troublesome, but for everyone's safety, it's worth the trouble.
Cheng Rui'an communicates directly with Lu Chengzhou, which is fine occasionally. However, if this is done for a long time, problems are likely to arise.
And Lu Chengzhou's identity did not allow him to have any problems.
As an underground party member, it is already great to be able to break into the military command. It would be a miracle to break into the Japanese secret service.
Cheng Ruien contacted Ma Yuzhen first, and then Ma Yuzhen contacted Lu Chengzhou. Although there was an extra step in the middle, it was safer for both Cheng Ruien and Lu Chengzhou.
"You are sent by your superiors now, and you have the final say in everything." Ma Yuzhen said dissatisfied.
She might not use such a tone in front of others, but Cheng Ruien was different. She could speak in any tone in front of him.
Previously, it also included Lu Chengzhou.
"Yuzhen, you should also know the organization's confidentiality rules. If you can't say anything, you absolutely can't say it." Cheng Ruien said sternly.
This is the discipline of underground work, iron discipline.
Organizational secrets rot in the stomach while alive and are carried in the coffin when dead.
"I don't blame you. From now on, this will be your residence, right?" Ma Yuzhen asked.
"Yes, I know there is a batch of arms at Haigu Station, hidden in a warehouse nearby." Cheng Ruien said with a smile.
"Your information is quite good." Ma Yuzhen said in surprise.
"All the weapons from the military warehouses on the Fourth Route were transported to the base area. We also helped transport your weapons." Cheng Ruien said with a smile.
"Tell me about the situation at home." Ma Yuzhen said.
She actually envied Cheng Ruien very much because he could return to the base area at any time and stay with his comrades.
She had encountered this feeling countless times in her dreams.
"Okay." Cheng Ruian understood Ma Yuzhen's feelings very well. When he was with Lu Chengzhou, what Lu Chengzhou asked the most about was about the base area.
After Ma Yuzhen returned to the British Concession, her whole person glowed with a magical color.
Like a dry well, a spring suddenly emerges, and like a dead tree springing up.
In the evening, Ma Yuzhen received a notice that Lu Chengzhou would have a meeting at No. 11 Hongqiang Road to study the next stage of work.
"We have a battalion of weapons in hand, and after receiving orders from the headquarters, we must rebuild the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. In addition, we must take the initiative to contact Yoshio Akiyama of the Garden Military Police and try to get him to work for us." Lu Chengzhou slowly said
say.
He is much better at managing emotions than Ma Yuzhen.
There was no trace of excitement on his face.
"Where will this unit be deployed?" Fang Nansheng asked.
If the Loyalty and Salvation Army is placed in Fengrun County or Baodi County as before, it will still only be controlled by the headquarters.
"We need to have a force nearby, which can not only cooperate with the operations at the station, but also threaten the Japanese army." Lu Chengzhou said.
In fact, he thinks Chongqing's idea is too unrealistic.
The current scale of Haigu Station has been reduced by more than half, and it is difficult to carry out normal activities, let alone the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.
The party-state's army will not be able to fight without stable logistical supplies.
Once the army is established and the banner is raised, it will definitely be met with a crazy counterattack by the Japanese army.
However, the orders from the headquarters must be implemented. This is Lu Chengzhou's operating principle.
Whether orders from the headquarters can be implemented is a matter of ability; whether they are implemented or not is a matter of attitude.
As long as the attitude is present, even if the ability is poor, Shangfeng will not blame it.
"They can be recruited from workers and students, but without training, even if they form an army, they have little fighting power." Fang Nansheng shook his head.
From an ordinary person to a soldier, it takes at least a month, and it must be led by an experienced soldier.
