In Chongqing, the capital of the National Government, there is a large courtyard. This courtyard is located at the end of the road and is surrounded by high walls. However, you can still see many office buildings inside.
Although there are many houses next to this courtyard, no one lives there. This is really strange in Chongqing, which has a large population and a lot of money.
However, those who know the situation in this courtyard will feel that it is very normal, because this place is the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau.
The Anti-Japanese War has been going on for more than a year, and the Military Command Bureau has become more and more powerful. Even many military bosses are very afraid of this department, not to mention ordinary people.
Moreover, after several expansions of the Military Command Bureau, the staff has expanded greatly, so it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed. Many people from all walks of life have become peripheral personnel of the Military Command Bureau. In addition, the Military Command Bureau is very ruthless, so it has a very bad reputation outside, resulting in
When the people heard the words "Military Command Bureau", they all stayed away.
However, at this time, the atmosphere in the Military Command Bureau was very depressing, and in the director's office on the top floor, several senior officials were sitting together, all of them looking very ugly, especially the one sitting in the main seat, whose face was as gloomy as ink.
The reason why this happened is because a major event happened in Chongqing this morning. The second-in-command of the Nationalist Government, Wang Qiubi, suddenly left Chongqing privately and his current whereabouts are unknown. However, the agents of the Military Command Bureau who were watching him did not find him.
Any anomalies are found.
When this happened, the bureau leader was very embarrassed. Not only was he ridiculed by the director of the Bureau of Statistics, but Principal Chang also called him over and scolded him.
After being scolded by Principal Chang, the bureau chief was naturally in a very bad mood. The people in the Military Command Bureau were always well-informed and naturally knew about this matter, so everyone became cautious.
After the authorities returned, they naturally had to consider how to deal with the matter. However, the situation was unclear and Principal Chang had not issued any instructions, so he did not know how to deal with it, so he convened all the senior officials of the Military Command Bureau for discussion.
The senior officials of the Military Command Bureau naturally knew the whole story, so they all looked ugly. However, facing the dark-faced bureau chief, they were all cautious, for fear of getting angry. After all, this matter was really difficult to handle.
Seeing that his subordinates were all silent, the director said angrily: "Why are all of them silent? Are they all mute?"
Seeing the annoyed look of the bureau chief, Mao Renfeng sighed, thinking that this matter was not something that the Military Command Bureau could solve alone. After all, Wang Qiubi was not a small person. If he wanted to touch him, he must be authorized by the leader.
It was not surprising that there was a mistake, so he said: "Director, the top priority now is to find out the whereabouts of Dean Wang, and then make plans."
Although Wang Qiubai has run away now, he has not yet openly committed treason, so Mao Renfeng still has some scruples and dare not say that this person is a traitor.
As soon as Mao Renfeng finished speaking, the bureau chief said coldly: "Since I learned that the man named Wang quietly left Chongqing, I have given orders, but there are no clues yet."
Mao Renfeng continued: "Bureau chief, it is not difficult to find Dean Wang, but how to deal with it still needs to be decided by the leader. I think we should form an elite team to be on standby at any time. Once the whereabouts of Dean Wang are found, we will immediately arrest him.
Send it over."
The director knew what Mao Renfeng said was that once the leader decided to hoe the traitor, the team could take action at any time without wasting time.
After thinking carefully for a while, the director felt that this was the only way to decide how to occupy the time, so he said, "Pick a few people yourself, give them to Qian Benli, and ask him to take these people and form a small team on standby."
Qian Benli is the bureau's personal bodyguard and the guard captain of the Military Command Bureau. He has been with the bureau for many years and is a close confidant. Therefore, when faced with this situation, the bureau's first thought was him.
When he heard that the bureau chief had sent Qian Benli out, Mao Renfeng was surprised at first, but later he thought it was normal. After all, the matter was so big, it was not surprising that the bureau chief asked his personal bodyguard to go out. Anyway, Qian Benli had excellent skills and a very flexible mind.
, there was absolutely no problem in performing the field mission, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, Bureau Chief, I will personally select a few capable people and hand them over to Captain Qian in a moment, so that they can be on call at any time."
The bureau chief nodded and continued: "The person named Wang was able to leave Chongqing without knowing it. Someone must have helped him. We have to investigate this matter now to see who is doing this under our noses."
After saying this, the bureau chief began to look at the senior officials of the Military Command Bureau to see who they wanted to hand over this task to.
Everyone who was caught by the scrutinizing gaze of the bureau chief felt a little frightened. After all, this matter was very difficult. The person who could help Wang kneel down and leave under the nose of the Military Command Bureau was definitely not a small role, and it was not easy to investigate.
After watching for a while, the bureau chief finally made a decision and said, "Qian Zhifei, you are responsible for this matter. Please investigate this matter as soon as possible."
Hearing that he was responsible for this unfortunate errand, Qian Zhifei frowned and was secretly distressed. After all, this matter was not easy to investigate, so he said awkwardly: "Secretary, my subordinates have limited abilities. They are doing some killing.
The work is okay, but I have never done this kind of detailed work before, so I'm afraid I might make a mistake." As he said this, he looked at his backer Wei Yimin with a pleading look.
Seeing Qian Zhifei's eyes pleading for help, Wei Yimin immediately spoke: "Bureau chief, what Qian Zhifei said makes sense. He and the people in the operations department were engaged in killings, and the detailed work of investigation is a bit dry.
If you don’t come, it’s better to let people from the Intelligence Department investigate the matter.”
Neither of these two people are direct descendants of the bureau chief, and they have strong backers behind them, so they dare to bargain with the bureau chief in person, which is still a rare scene in the military today.
As soon as Wei Yimin finished speaking, the bureau chief said without hesitation: "People from the Intelligence Department have to investigate the whereabouts of Wang Qiubai, so they don't have time to do anything else.
But if you think Qian Zhifei is only suitable for fighting and killing, then why not let them form an action team on standby, ready to carry out tasks at any time."
Wei Yimin immediately said: "Secretary, I have thought about it for a while, but you have been thoughtful and asked Qian Zhifei to investigate this matter."
Qian Zhifei, who was in a difficult situation just now, also quickly said: "I obey my orders and will investigate this matter as soon as possible."
Looking at these two people, the bureau chief was very angry. After all, the entire military command bureau was owned by the bureau chief alone. Only these two people did not obey orders very much, and they would even bargain when things happened.
Although the bureau chief was dissatisfied with this situation and wanted to transfer them away, these two people were very cunning and had nothing wrong with them at all. Moreover, there were many big figures behind them, which was really difficult to deal with. So how did the investigation Wang Qiuzhen leave?
Leave it to them.
The bureau chief is very thoughtful, so he naturally knows that there must be something hidden in this matter. If the investigation is clear, these two people will definitely offend others. If the investigation is not clear, the bureau chief will punish Qian Zhifei with the accusation of unfavorable performance.
, after all, this matter is very big, and it is open to the public, so if Qian Zhifei is punished for doing things badly, no one can say anything.
Regarding this situation, Wei Yimin and Qian Zhifei were also helpless. They also knew the consequences, but they could choose the lesser of two evils. After all, the elite team was formed to deal with Wang Qiubai. Compared with directly targeting this veteran of the National Congress Party
, or the former is less harmful.
In fact, even if Wei Yimin and Qian Zhifei really agreed to form an elite team, the bureau chief would not agree. After all, this team was to deal with Wang Qiubai. If they were handed over to others, the bureau chief would not be at ease.
The performance of the two people was not as expected by the bureau chief. After all, the bureau chief knew what they were and ignored them. He then said: "The intelligence department will now go all out to find the whereabouts of Wang Qiubai.
It must be found within two days."
Mao Renfeng is now fully responsible for the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Bureau, so he immediately stated: "Don't worry, Bureau Chief, my subordinates will find the whereabouts of Dean Wang as soon as possible."
The bureau leader nodded, then thought about it for a moment, and felt that everything was almost arranged, so he let everyone leave.
After most of the people had left, Mao Renfeng remained motionless. When only he and the bureau chief were left in the office, he said: "Bureau chief, the people from North China have arrived, and they have brought them with them."
Got a film back."
After finishing speaking, he took out a film from his purse and handed it to the bureau officer respectfully.
This morning, Mao Renfeng received the person sent by Li Yunsheng, and as soon as he arrived at the headquarters, he was called to a meeting by the bureau chief. The reason why he took out the film at this time was because the matter had to be kept confidential. After all, it was not easy.
Too many people know.
Looking at the film in front of him, the director sighed and said, "What's the use of this film now? It's a pity that Li Yunsheng has worked so hard."
The director was not a confused person. He knew that Li Yunsheng and the North China District must have taken a lot of risks for this film. After all, it was not easy to get this thing from the Japanese.
However, Wang Qiubai had already left Chongqing and was likely to openly commit treason next, so this film had no value anymore, so he naturally felt it was a pity in his heart.
But Mao Renfeng had a different opinion, so he said: "Bureau chief, although this film came a little late, Dean Wang has not openly treason now, and the leader is also hesitant, and we have reported it in advance
After passing it, handing over this thing is enough to prove the ability of our military command bureau.
What's more, we have just lost face. I'm afraid it will leave a bad impression in the minds of the leaders. We are in urgent need of some good performance. And handing in this thing means that we are not incompetent. If anyone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, you
There is something to say."
Mao Renfeng's words reminded the bureau chief, so he said: "You are right, this thing is really valuable. I will hand it over now." After that, he made a phone call and left the Military Command Bureau.
