After leaving the headquarters, Li Yunsheng immediately caught up with Hao Jinyuan and said seriously: "Instructor, I have something to tell you."
Hao Jinyuan nodded, took Li Yunsheng to a corner, asked the guards to stand aside, and then said softly: "What's the matter?"
When Li Yunsheng saw no one nearby, he simply said: "Instructor, do you think those foreigners are reliable? If you place your hopes on them, wouldn't you be irresponsible to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Shanghai?"
Hao Jinyuan glanced at Li Yunsheng meaningfully, and then sighed and said: "Commander Chen, doesn't he know this? But this is the leader's will, he must obey, and the fight has been going on for so long, it doesn't matter how many days we hold on."
Li Yunsheng said cautiously: "Instructor, changing orders like this day and night is a taboo among military strategists. Now the Japanese threat is imminent. Once the situation changes, I'm afraid it will be a big rout."
Hao Jinyuan said calmly: "It's not that bad. At least behind Shanghai, the government has spent a lot of money to build a defense line. After we retreat, we can continue to resist the Japanese there."
After Li Hearing Hao Jinyuan's words, Li Yunsheng finally understood why the Nationalist Government collapsed thousands of miles after the Battle of Shanghai. It was because the soldiers on the front line thought that there was still a way out as the national defense line, so he said anxiously: "Instructor, the people in the government
Don’t you know how corrupt some officials are? It’s estimated that the defense line is just an empty shell and will have no effect. It can’t stop the Japanese at all.”
Hao Jinyuan said seriously: "You said that the national defense line is an empty shell. Did you send someone to investigate?"
Li Yunsheng immediately explained: "Instructor, you know the virtues of the government people better than I do. You should be able to imagine how much moisture this solid defense line will have, so I advise you to make plans early."
The reason why Li Yunsheng spoke frankly to Hao Jinyuan was because the two had a teacher-student relationship and were considered relatively close people at this time, so they were like this.
Hao Jinyuan thought for a while and immediately asked: "What about your opinion?"
Li Yunsheng said simply: "The commander can't say anything anymore, and we can't change the overall situation, so the instructor should think carefully about how to protect his troops," and then turned and left.
The reason why Li Yunsheng persuaded Hao Jinyuan in this way was because he felt that he was somewhat alone among Chen Xiucheng's group, so he needed an ally, and Hao Jinyuan was very suitable. After all, the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
After returning to the station, Zhang Hao immediately asked: "Section Chief, what is going on."
Li Yunsheng explained the matter, and finally sighed and said: "It seems that there will be a big defeat this time."
Zhang Hao said consolingly: "Section Chief, don't think too much, the situation may not be like this, and even if such a thing does happen, there are still big people above who are worried, and we little people can't do anything about it."
Li Yunsheng nodded helplessly and could only accept this result.
Two days later, Li Yunsheng suddenly received a telegram from the Secret Service headquarters, saying that the director had arrived in Shanghai and asked Li Yunsheng to go to the meeting.
Seeing Virgo arriving at this time, Li Yunsheng was very surprised. Now that Shanghai's defeat was determined, why would he come here? So he immediately drove to downtown Shanghai according to the address on the telegram.
After arriving at the place, Li Yunsheng was led by guards to an office.
When I entered the office, I found that the chief minister was sitting upright in the main seat, and there were more than a dozen people on both sides, all of whom were military commanders of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.
After Li Yunsheng arrived, Virgo said casually: "Let's do it first and wait until everyone is here."
Li Yunsheng followed the chief's instructions, casually found a place to sit down, and waited patiently.
After a while, a few more people came one after another. Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Virgo said: "The situation in Shanghai is very bad now. Since the war started, everyone must have known that we have no more people."
The chances of victory have increased, and this morning, the League of Nations mediation failed, so the Military Commission will soon issue a withdrawal order."
After hearing the news, not only Li Yunsheng was very calm, but the rest of the people were not surprised. It is estimated that except for Principal Chang, few people in China thought that the League of Nations could successfully mediate.
Seeing that these men were acting calmly, Virgo spoke again: "Although we have given up on Shanghai, when we retreat, our Secret Service still has to keep some elite troops and add them to the Shanghai Station so that they can fight behind enemy lines in the future.
.”
As soon as Virgo finished speaking, the people in the office looked at each other with very ugly expressions. Finally, Jiang Yunfeng said: "Virgo, how many people should be transferred to Shanghai Station, and who are they?"
people."
Virgo said seriously: "Shanghai will be the territory of the Japanese in the future, so we need to keep some elite senior intelligence agents." After that, he took out a list and showed it to everyone.
After Li Yunsheng read the list, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, among the people selected by Virgo, there were not a few of his confidants.
After others read the list, they had different expressions, but they didn't say much. After all, the military order was like a mountain, and everyone must obey it.
After issuing the list, the chief minister said again: "It is expected that the Military Commission will issue a retreat order tomorrow, and then all ministries will withdraw to Nanjing in order." Then he announced the adjournment of the meeting, but left Li Yunsheng alone.
After everyone left, Virgo said: "This time you did a good job and made a lot of achievements, and also made me very visible in the Military Commission."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "It's all because Virgos have good leadership, and only then can the subordinates make some achievements."
Virgo sighed and said: "Okay, don't flatter me. Apart from you, no one in the several detachments of the National Salvation Army has done anything decent. This time, the gain is really not worth the loss."
Li Yunsheng smiled awkwardly and said nothing. He knew in his heart what Virgo meant when he said that the gain was not worth the loss. After all, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army formed by selling iron was all maimed, and many of Virgo's confidants also died on the battlefield.
, that’s why I sigh like this.
Seeing that Li Yunsheng was not talking, Virgo asked: "You must be wondering why I left you alone."
Li Yunsheng was indeed very surprised by this. After all, he was about to evacuate Shanghai tomorrow, so what else could happen, so he asked in confusion: "I really don't know, please tell me."
Virgo said softly: "When the Japanese attacked Shanghai, they attacked our Shanghai Central Bank. In addition, when they conquered Hangzhou, they also robbed our bank, causing us huge losses. This is why I kept you here."
The reason for the downfall.”
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Virgin is planning to retaliate in kind and let his subordinates also rob Japanese banks."
Virgo said solemnly: "Not only that, this time the Japanese robbed us of a large amount of gold and legal currency. The loss of legal currency alone was more than one billion yuan, and I received news that the Japanese will rob us in Hangzhou."
All the gold and legal tender that came here were shipped to Shanghai Zhengjin Bank, so your task is to stay in Shanghai and snatch these things back."
Hearing what Virgo said, Li Yunsheng was surprised. If it were an ordinary robbery, it would be okay, but now it is necessary to rob more than one billion French currency and a large amount of gold. This is too difficult, so he said in embarrassment: "Virgo, ten
Putting hundreds of millions of legal coins together, it is estimated that several rooms will be filled. How can my subordinates get it back? The difficulty of this task is too high."
Virgo said calmly: "If it wasn't too difficult, I would just let the people at Shanghai Station do it. Why would I leave it to you?"
Li Yunsheng frowned and thought for a while, and then said carefully: "Virgin, it is too difficult to get back the legal currency. My subordinates even have an idea, which is to blow up the Japanese Zhengjin Bank and destroy all the legal currency.
At that time, we will just ask the central bank to print it again."
Virgo sighed and said: "In order to prevent counterfeiting, the paper used in our legal currency is imported from the United States and cannot be produced domestically. Therefore, if these legal currencies are destroyed, they will not be printed at all for a while, which will be quite troublesome."
After listening to Virgo's words, Li Yunsheng frowned even more. After all, it was too difficult to snatch back so many legal coins, so he could only say: "Virgo, I will do my best, but there is no guarantee that it will be completed.
After all, this task is too difficult."
Virgo thought for a moment and said coldly: "There is really no other way. We can also blow up the Zhengjin Bank. This is better than giving the Japanese money in vain."
Hearing what Virgo said, Li Yunsheng felt a little more relaxed. After all, if it was just to blow up the bank, the task would not be too difficult and the probability of completion was very high. However, he still solemnly guaranteed: "Don't worry Virgo, I will do my best."
If there is a chance, I will snatch these legal coins back. If there is really no other way, I will destroy them."
Virgo nodded, and then said: "After the retreat order is issued, you don't need to care. Just hide with your troops. If necessary, you can contact Shanghai Station, and I will let the people from Shanghai Station cooperate with you.
.”
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "I obey," and then asked some more questions before saying goodbye and leaving.
After returning to the station, Zhang Hao asked: "Section Chief, what do you want to do when you come to Shanghai?"
Li Yunsheng immediately told the story of the meeting, explained the tasks assigned by the director, and then said with emotion: "It seems that we will stay in Shanghai for a while and continue to fight the Japanese."
Zhang Hao asked calmly: "Shanghai is about to fall, and it will be more difficult for us to move by then. What does the section chief plan to do?"
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "There is nothing we can do now, but after the Japanese army takes over Shanghai, their forces will be dispersed, and we will definitely have a chance to take action."
Zhang Hao nodded, and then the two people discussed for a while, and then began to arrange people to lurk.
