The last time Cheng Ruian returned to the base, Lu Chengzhou asked him to bring a letter to Li Xiangxue.
Lu Chengzhou proposed a plan to ask his superiors to send people to infiltrate the Haigu Anti-Japanese Brigade of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.
Although this anti-Japanese brigade has not yet been formally established, it has the equipment of a battalion.
These equipments spent the commission earned by Haigu Station from Akiyama Yoshio, and added almost all of Haigu Station's expenses.
If it weren't for the recent sharp rise in grain prices and Fu Qi's trading house continuing to provide funding to Haigu Station, Lu Chengzhou would have had to pay for it himself.
As the British continued to retreat in the face of Japan, Chongqing's channels for providing bonuses to Haigu Station through the China Bank and the Bank of Communications were gradually closed.
"The military commander is preparing to establish the Haigu Anti-Japanese Brigade of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army in Erbu Mountain. Currently, there are only a few people. I want to ask the Haigu City Committee to send a group of people there." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"There happened to be a group of democratic pioneers and team committee members who were about to be transferred. The superiors ordered to select a group of people from among them who are in good health and have certain military qualities to go to Erbu Mountain to join your anti-Japanese brigade." Cheng Ruian introduced.
"We warmly welcome young people from all walks of life who are aspiring to resist Japan to join us," Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
"Do you and I welcome you?" Cheng Ruien said suddenly.
"Not welcome." Lu Chengzhou shook his head and said firmly.
"I have led soldiers before," Cheng Ruian said.
"But you have also registered in the military police unit, and you are still a classmate of Ma Yuzhen and I. All old acquaintances of Ma Yuzhen and I are not allowed to go to Erbu Mountain." Lu Chengzhou reminded.
Cheng Ruien basically knew everyone he knew from Ma Yuzhen.
"Okay." Cheng Ruien said helplessly.
In fact, when he was in the base area, he also made such a request to Li Xiangxue.
Going to the Haigu Anti-Japanese Brigade of the National Salvation Army is much more interesting than working as a traffic officer for ants.
However, Li Xiangxue also clearly opposed it at the time.
Unwilling to give up, he proposed it to Lu Chengzhou again, but was still rejected.
"In the past two days, Zhang Xuanping has had a few hours of free time every day. He promised Kawasaki Hiroshi that he would give an explanation to the military police unit before tomorrow night. Is he waiting for this opportunity?" Lu Chengzhou suddenly asked.
"Maybe. If you have any plans, you can let Gu Sanshi from the Haigu City Committee convey them to you," Cheng Ruien said.
"Didn't he move to Peking?" Lu Chengzhou asked in surprise.
"After he left, no one was responsible for the work in Haigu. He came back, but he no longer lived in the British Concession." Cheng Ruien said.
Gu Sanshi's behavior moved him very much.
Communists, for the sake of organization and work, never worry about their own safety.
"Now that the Haigu City Committee can contact Zhang Xuanping, it will be much easier to handle. In fact, there is no need to contact him in advance. From 3 to 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the Intelligence Room will relax its surveillance on him." Lu Chengzhou said.
"That is to say, between three and five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, is the time for him to leave?" Cheng Ruien said.
"Yes, it's best to go directly from the water to the East Station and leave by train." Lu Chengzhou had already designed such a route.
However, he didn't know what Zhang Xuanping was thinking, nor where he could send Zhang Xuanping.
If Zhang Xuanping was a traitor, there would be no need to go to such trouble, Lu Chengzhou could execute him himself.
The next day, when Lu Chengzhou went to the military police unit, he received a notice from Zhang Guanglin that Kawasaki Hiroshi wanted to see him.
Lu Chengzhou was shocked. Could it be that what happened last night was causing trouble for him?
Kawasaki Hiroshi is a professional intelligence agent and should not dwell on the past.
"Is there any news from Zhu Pumin?" Kawasaki Hiro asked.
Zhu Pumin promised that there would be news about the underground party within three days, and today is the third day.
"There is no news yet, teacher, why should we listen to the CCP?" Lu Chengzhou said, he had already said that he was not optimistic about Zhu Pumin.
"You still don't have confidence in him?" Kawasaki Hiroshi said.
"I suspect that he has no sincerity in cooperating with us at all." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
"He may be hesitant, but if we disclose his identity, there will be no illusions." Terada Kiyozo suddenly walked in and said seriously.
Xi Jianzhong's case is over, and the military police unit has suffered a complete defeat.
At present, the military commander has no clues. Terada Kiyozō really wants to find something to do for himself, so taking over Zhu Pumin's case is the only choice.
"This method is feasible." Lu Chengyi was stunned. If Zhu Pumin was in the newspaper, it would be even more unclear.
"Director Lu, can Zhu Pumin be transferred to the extra-high-level class?" Although Terada Kiyozang used a discussion tone, he was actually giving an order to Lu Chengzhou.
"Of course." Lu Chengzhou did not hesitate this time. Since he had no confidence in Zhu Pumin, he was naturally eager to let Terada Seizang take over.
Lu Chengzhou immediately went through the formalities with Terada Qingzang, and at the same time handed over the records of these two days to Terada Qingzang.
"Zhu Pumin goes out alone at three o'clock every afternoon. Mr. Terada, I suggest that you cancel his preferential treatment and don't be fooled by his sweet words. He can't contact the underground party at all, and he can't help us catch the underground party!"
Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
"His affairs are now handled by me. As for whether to let him go out alone in the afternoon, it is up to me to decide." Terada Kiyozang seemed to be insulted when he heard Lu Chengzhou's suggestion.
"But..." Lu Chengzhou said anxiously.
"Stop being so mean, Director Lu!" Terada Kiyozō said sternly.
He didn't want to listen to Lu Chengzhou's so-called advice, which reminded him of his failure with Xi Jianzhong just now.
"Okay." Lu Chengzhou said helplessly.
He knew that Terada Kiyozō would definitely not listen to others' advice at this time. The more others tried to persuade him, the more he would insist on his own way.
In the morning, Terada Kiyozō took Zhu Pumin to Yongbao, took photos of him, and asked the reporter to write a detailed report, with the title: There is no great virtue in knowing how to return from the lost way.
Sure enough, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Terada Kiyozō still asked Zhu Pumin to go out on his own and contact the underground party alone.
"Teacher, Zhu Pumin has been doing nothing all day. His so-called outing alone in the afternoon was just a pretense. I suspect that he may want to run away." Lu Chengzhou suddenly went to Kawasaki Hiroshi's office at 3:30 and said with a worried look on his face.
.
"Run? Where can he run?" Kawasaki Hiroshi said with a sneer.
Zhu Pumin has no documents and the British Concession is under lockdown. How can he get out?
"He is a traitor to the Communist Party. What if the underground party kidnaps him?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
He did not say that the underground party rescued him, but said "tied", also to mislead Kawasaki Hiroshi.
If the people from the Haigu City Committee had followed the plan, Zhang Xuanping should have arrived at Haigu East Station.
"This..." Kawasaki Hiroshi said hesitantly.
"I want to secretly monitor Zhu Pumin. Squad Leader Terada cooperates with him on the surface, and the Intelligence Room 1 will monitor secretly and walk on two legs." Lu Chengzhou suggested.
