Chapter five hundred and seventeen opening for help
After a short period of communication, Shen Huanghe left a good impression on Li Yunsheng. Thinking that this person had just arrived in Peiping and must be in urgent need of establishing a foothold, he asked: "You have just arrived in North China, and you have done something like this before." It’s a big deal, and I’m afraid it’s not easy to gain a foothold in the city.”
Shen Huanghe sighed and replied with some emotion: "Sir, the situation in Peiping is very unstable. The little devils are still very strict about household registration management, and we have no one to take care of us. If we want to gain a foothold in a short time, it is true that not easy.
Even if we can think of a way to get the household registration, what's difficult is how to arrange for our twenty-some brothers to enter the city. After all, it's too irritating for people who are unfamiliar with the place."
Li Yunsheng nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, Beiping City is the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Army. The Japanese control there is indeed very strict. You are new here and there is no one to help you. You want to gain a firm foothold and start anew." Setting up an intelligence network is really not an easy task."
After hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Shen Huanghe immediately said: "Yes, the superior still understands us and knows the difficulties of his subordinates..."
"Stationmaster Shen, with your ability, it is only a matter of time before you gain a firm foothold in Peiping. I think the headquarters will arrange several suitable identities for you, so that the situation can be gradually stabilized.
As for the difficulties, no matter where in the country it is, it’s not difficult, so don’t complain too much.”
Li Yunsheng knew that the Military Command Bureau had good methods and it was not that difficult to arrange several legal identities, so there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Shen Huanghe was originally complaining, but when he saw Li Yunsheng was a little displeased, he immediately stopped complaining and said in a different direction: "Sir, I'm not complaining, I'm just impatient. After all, the headquarters sent me to Peking to start anew." Those who set up an intelligence network cannot take their time."
After saying these words, Shen Huanghe looked at Li Yunsheng with a hesitant expression, and kept paying attention to the surrounding situation from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing Shen Huanghe's gaze, Li Yunsheng shook his head helplessly and said calmly: "If you have any ideas, just tell me."
Li Yunsheng has seen this kind of look from Shen Huanghe many times. After all, this kind of behavior is just waiting for you to ask.
However, the performance of this Peiping stationmaster made Li Yunsheng very satisfied, because this person always pays attention to the surrounding situation and can be said to be a cautious person. Such a person is a qualified agent.
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Shen Huanghe immediately knew that the other party had guessed his thoughts, so he smiled awkwardly and whispered: "Chief Li, we do have many difficulties in Beiping City. We want to..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you have any requests, just ask."
Before Shen Huanghe could finish speaking, Li Yunsheng interrupted him, feeling a little confused as to what the purpose of this Peiping stationmaster was.
In Li Yunsheng's mind, he thought that he and Shen Huanghe were not familiar with each other and did not understand each other, but the other party seemed to trust him and was a bit rude, which was really puzzling.
"Sir, there's nothing wrong. It's just that the funds provided by the headquarters at Beishan were insufficient, and if you want to establish an intelligence network in Beiping, you must have a lot of money.
In addition, these brothers under my command are quite large in number and must prepare several safe houses, which also requires a large amount of money, so..."
Having said this, Shen Huanghe stopped talking and looked at Li Yunsheng expectantly.
As soon as Shen Huanghe finished speaking, Li Yunsheng showed a very surprised expression. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other, and the Peiping Station only accepted his command and was not under his direct management.
Therefore, the personnel and funds of the Beiping Station are directly arranged by the headquarters. Li Yunsheng only has the right to call the Beiping Station when he needs to perform tasks.
Thinking of this, Li Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and asked calmly: "Stationmaster Shen, it seems that the headquarters is responsible for your funds."
Although Li Yunsheng has money, he cannot give it to others for no reason. Besides, whether it is Shen Huanghe or Peking Station, they are not his direct lineage, so how can he give money casually.
"Mr. Li, the headquarters' funds are not sufficient. When I came to Peiping this time, the bureau only approved a fund of 300,000 French currency, but you also know that the current purchasing power of French currency..."
Having said this, Shen Huanghe glanced at Li Yunsheng and me again, and then stopped talking.
"Then why do you ask me for money? I'm not responsible for your expenses."
This is indeed strange to Li Yunsheng, because under normal circumstances, Shen Huanghe would have no reason to ask for money from him.
"Sir, I also heard that the North China District is very wealthy, and before I came here, because the funds were too small, I had already looked for the bureau chief many times, but no matter how I asked, the bureau chief would not provide more funds.
In the end, Deputy Director Mao gave me a suggestion, asking me to contact you after I come to Peking. After all, Peking Station is also under your command."
Shen Huanghe didn't hide it, he directly told the reason. This was also the reason why Li Yunsheng came immediately as soon as he said he wanted to meet.
After hearing Shen Huanghe's words, Li Yunsheng sighed in his heart, thinking that he had been tricked by Mao Renfeng.
However, there was nothing Li Yunsheng could do about this matter. After all, life in the North China District was good, and he was still taking care of some of the orphans of his subordinates, so the headquarters, which was strapped for funds, would definitely have to make his own decisions.
Although I feel a little unhappy, I think that with Peking's affairs arranged, I can save a lot of worry. Moreover, I have a short mouth for eating people and a short hand for taking people. If I take my own money, I will not be able to command the Peking Station easily. few.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yunsheng said: "I have several safe houses in Beiping City, which are very secluded places that I can leave to you.
In addition, I will give you another hundred thousand U.S. dollars in funding, and you can arrange the personnel to enter the city as soon as possible, so that it can be effective."
Li Yunsheng didn't give Shen Huanghe any more help. After all, with money and a safe house, everything else could be easily solved. If the Peiping stationmaster couldn't make arrangements, it would be a waste.
After listening to Li Yunsheng's words, Shen Huanghe's eyes lit up and he said with excitement: "Sir, I won't say anything else. I will never say anything about your orders from now on."
One hundred thousand US dollars is enough to properly resettle the people brought by Shen Huanghe, and the several safe houses provided by Li Yunsheng have also solved a lot of problems.
Before coming back, Shen Huanghe didn't have high hopes. After all, officials during the Republic of China were very greedy and stingy, and few people would give generously. Therefore, the Peiping stationmaster was a little surprised.
Li Yunsheng did not fully believe Shen Huanghe's words. After all, this kind of statement could not prove anything, so he gave a few simple words of encouragement and said again: "You must be careful when looking for traitors. Don't expose yourself because of impatience.
In addition, I will not stand idly by, after all, this traitor is a threat to us."
Because Li Yunsheng provided the funds and was very considerate, Shen Huanghe immediately said that he would not be impatient and his attitude was more respectful.
