As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Xu Bing immediately intervened: "District Chief, how do you explain it to the headquarters? After all, the information came so timely. There may be informants from the headquarters among the overseas Chinese, and we can't hide it at all."
The headquarters has strictly ordered to sabotage this matter, and even specifically pointed out that if the overseas Chinese cannot be sent to Chongqing, assassination can be carried out.
If the North China District did not take any action, the headquarters would definitely hold them accountable, so Xu Bing was worried that if they stood still, there would be bad consequences.
"There must be informants from the headquarters among the overseas Chinese, and even in Tianjin, there are single-line intelligence agents from the headquarters, otherwise the news would not have been transmitted so quickly."
Li Yunsheng also thought that there were informants in the military command among the overseas Chinese. After all, the news came too fast, and there was even information about several underground parties in the intelligence. This must be information that could only be obtained by informants.
Li Yunsheng had already anticipated this situation. After all, although the current National Government is corrupt and incompetent, it is still the only legitimate government recognized by the international community, and many overseas Chinese also recognize this government.
Therefore, it can be said that it is very easy for the Military Command Bureau to develop informants among overseas Chinese. After all, these overseas wanderers do not know much about the domestic situation.
"District Chief, what should we do? If we really do nothing, when these people get to Shaanxi, the headquarters will definitely blame them."
Xu Bing was really worried, because disobeying orders and being disrespectful was a taboo, and the Military Command Bureau was a military department, so no one dared to blatantly disobey orders.
"Open disobedience will definitely not work. You will send a telegram to the headquarters later to explain the current situation. In particular, you must emphasize that the concession is full of traitors and we cannot use force at all."
Li Yunsheng would not violate taboos, so he would report the situation first and then think of a solution.
After listening to Li Yunsheng's words, Xu Bing frowned and said: "District Chief, the headquarters will not care about the situation. They can only see that we have not taken action, and then it will be difficult to explain."
Xu Bing's words make sense. After all, the situation is dangerous, but this is not a reason to stand still. If we do so, there will be really bad results.
After thinking for a while, Li Yunsheng said: "Well, you'd better send the telegram and say that I will visit these overseas Chinese in person and try to persuade them to go to Chongqing to work for the government and hand over the funds raised to the government for use.
.”
Li Yunsheng was planning to write a letter and publicly meet with these overseas Chinese to persuade them to go to Chongqing.
However, Li Yunsheng is not optimistic about the outcome. After all, most overseas Chinese are well aware of the situation in China. Besides, these overseas Chinese are intellectuals and have their own opinions. Once they make a decision, they may not change it easily.
The most important thing is that there are underground parties around the overseas Chinese, so it is even more difficult to achieve this goal. Even if Li Yunsheng's status is not low and he personally goes out to persuade, it will probably be in vain.
Li Yunsheng made such a decision precisely because he knew that he could not be persuaded. After all, there was a serious lack of funds and talents in Shaanxi, and these overseas Chinese would definitely play an important role after they went there.
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Xu Bing nodded. This was okay. After all, if force could not be used, the only option was to send a letter, so he said: "District Chief, this is feasible, but these returned overseas Chinese are all patriotic.
Intellectuals should be very determined, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince them.”
"We can only do our best and obey fate. We can't engage in internal fighting under the watchful eyes of the Japanese. In that case, no one will gain."
Li Yunsheng's purpose was just to find a suitable excuse to prevent the headquarters from pursuing the matter. He had no intention of convincing these people, so he was not worried at all.
But Xu Bing didn't think so, so he said seriously: "District Chief, this money raised from donations has been placed under the eyes of the underground party. According to my judgment, if we want to get it, there is almost no chance."
Chance.
And the headquarters has issued strict orders, and the government is still watching this money. If we don't achieve anything at all, I'm afraid we won't be able to account for it.
So I suggest that we focus on those overseas Chinese and try to persuade some people to go to Chongqing, so that we can have an explanation."
After hearing Xu Bing's suggestion, Li Yunsheng's eyes lit up, he nodded involuntarily, and said in agreement: "This is a good idea."
The reason why Li Yunsheng agreed was that as long as he persuaded some people, it meant that he did not cope with the errands. Even if the headquarters held him responsible, it would not be too excessive. After all, the situation behind enemy lines was complicated, and no one could guarantee that the task would be completed.
As for those who failed to complete the task and were severely punished, they were all people with no backing. If this were not the case, Tianzi's number one traitor king knelt down and was still alive and well, I am afraid that the first person in the bureau would be questioned by Principal Chang.
As for whether persuading some people to defect to the National Government will affect the development of the party organization, Li Yunsheng is not worried, because people with weak will are still a hidden danger even if they stay in the party organization.
After all, the conditions in Shaanxi are very difficult. There is no telling when such people will defect. It is better to let them go to Chongqing.
Seeing that Li Yunsheng agreed, Xu Bing smiled and continued: "District Chief, you can also ask the overseas Chinese to donate part of the funds raised to the government. This will make it easier to explain."
Regarding this point, Li Yunsheng nodded on his face, but decided in his heart that he would not do this because the National Government was too corrupt, and the money collected from donations would most likely be embezzled.
The situation in Shaanxi is different. Although the conditions there are difficult, once the money arrives, it will all be used for the Anti-Japanese War, and it will have a great effect.
At this time, Zhang Hao on the side suddenly said: "District Chief, when do you plan to go find the underground party?"
"Without further ado, I'll go tonight to avoid another accident."
The reason why Li Yunsheng decided to go tonight was for another purpose, which was to vaguely remind the underground party that there were military commanders among the overseas Chinese.
After all, without an informant, Li Yunsheng would never have come to the door so quickly. And the leaders of the underground party have many years of struggle experience, so they can definitely think of this.
"District Chief, if we come tonight, the underground party will probably guess that there are our insiders among the overseas Chinese. Will this affect our own people?"
Zhang Hao also thought of this, so he asked before.
Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Li Yunsheng thought to himself that he wanted to remind the underground party, so of course he had to go quickly.
However, even if he is a confidant, Zhang Hao is a member of the National Government after all. Naturally, Li Yunsheng cannot tell him clearly, so he sighed and said: "This is the only way to deal with the situation now. Otherwise, if these overseas Chinese leave, we will not be like bamboo baskets."
Fetch water.
As for our eyeliner, let him be exposed, after all, his role is to keep an eye on these overseas Chinese."
Zhang Hao naturally couldn't imagine Li Yunsheng's purpose. Besides, people are selfish. It's not worthwhile to oppose the opinions of his boss for the sake of an inexplicable colleague.
Xu Bing's eyes revealed a bit of surprise. After all, this woman was very shrewd and understood Li Yunsheng very well. It felt like this was not like his usual style.
Although it was a bit unexpected, Xu Bing didn't think much about it. The three of them discussed for a while, and then Li Yunsheng took Zhang Hao out.
The current concession is a bit chaotic. After all, there are too many traitors here, and the concession authorities are very weak and dare not strictly govern it.
Seeing this situation, although Li Yunsheng was angry, he had no choice but to avoid some traitors to avoid getting into trouble.
Ten minutes later, the two people arrived at the entrance of Li Deshun Hotel and walked in.
Looking at the magnificent Li Deshun Hotel, Li Yunsheng thought to himself that no one would have thought that the very poor underground party would live here. Then according to the information from the headquarters, he walked directly up the stairs to the fifth floor.
