Chapter five hundred and thirty second meeting for the first time
When Li Yunsheng went upstairs, Zhao Chengde was in the room, discussing with Zhao Wentian and other underground party leaders how to escort the overseas Chinese to leave Tianjin safely.
Also discussing together were the leading overseas Chinese Wang Chunsheng and his wife, as well as several youth representatives.
However, after deliberation for a while, there was no good suggestion. After all, the concession was now blocked, and all the overseas Chinese had just arrived from Nanyang. At this juncture, it was impossible to apply for a good citizen certificate.
Moreover, there are still some differences between the underground party and the returned overseas Chinese, because Zhao Wentian and others want to try to risk leaving, but the returned overseas Chinese's opinion is to give priority to safety, and even suggested that if there is no other way, they can return to Nanyang first
.
Finally, Wang Chunsheng suggested: "This is a concession anyway. As long as we are separated and not found by the Japanese, safety can be guaranteed. Why not live here first and spend it slowly."
Although Wang Chunsheng is patriotic, he has lived abroad for a long time and will give priority to his own safety when encountering problems.
The other overseas Chinese representatives also nodded when they heard what Wang Chunsheng said. After all, they are all people of modest means and are not willing to take too many risks.
After hearing Wang Chunsheng's words, several leaders of the underground party looked at each other, and then Zhao Wentian replied: "Mr. Wang, the area of the concession is not large. Even if it is not Japanese territory, there are still many traitors in it who continue to stay."
The danger here is still very high.”
Zhao Wentian knew that if these overseas Chinese stayed in Tianjin, there would be problems sooner or later. After all, these overseas Chinese had been targeted by the Japanese, and before they were transferred, they had left traces and could easily be found by the Japanese.
The most important thing is that Shaanxi is extremely short of funds and talents. As the person in charge of the underground party, Zhao Wentian naturally wants these overseas Chinese to go to Tianjin as soon as possible.
"Mr. Zhao Wentian, I also know that it is not safe in the concession, but the Japanese have a clear goal. It would be too risky for us to leave."
Wang Chunsheng still planned to stay in the concession. After all, they were just ordinary people. When facing danger, the first thing they thought of was self-protection.
However, intellectuals are different from ordinary people. Even if these people want to protect themselves, they will not be chaotic. This is why they can come to the Li Deshun Hotel in an orderly manner.
After hearing Wang Chunsheng's words, Zhao Wentian smiled and assured: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, you returned overseas Chinese are important guests of our party, and we will definitely ensure your safety."
After a pause, he continued: "You can rest assured that even if we take risks, we will not let you take risks. Moreover, we will not take you away without complete assurance."
Chen Jiahao on the side also said: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, our party has enough power to protect your safety and will not let you fall into the hands of the Japanese."
"But is there any way you can help us leave Tianjin safely?"
After hearing the assurances from the two old party members, Wang Chunsheng felt a little more at ease, and then he asked.
It was Zhao Wentian who answered: "Mr. Wang, we will find a way.
Moreover, our party still has several spare safe houses in the concession, but they have not been taken care of for a long time and need to be tidied up.
So don’t worry, once everything is packed up, we will divide into several groups and hide in new locations so that we won’t attract anyone’s attention.”
Hearing Zhao Wentian's answer, Wang Chunsheng sighed and said softly: "Well, Wang will follow your arrangements."
Seeing Wang Chunsheng's attitude, Zhao Wentian felt relieved. After all, without the cooperation of these overseas Chinese, it would be even more difficult to leave the concession.
However, Zhao Wentian also had a hard time leaving the concession. After all, the current situation could be said to have no solution.
Fortunately, Wang Chunsheng and other overseas Chinese were calmed down, and these overseas Chinese also promised to cooperate with the underground party's actions, so Zhao Wentian felt a little relieved.
When comforting the overseas Chinese, Zhao Chengde did not speak. He had been thinking about how to take the overseas Chinese out of Tianjin. At this time, he already had some ideas, so he said: "Comrade Wen Tian, judging from the current situation, we want to leave the concession.
, I’m afraid it’s impossible to even leave the city and rely on your own strength?”
"Comrade Chengde, what suggestions do you have?"
Zhao Wentian knew his partner well and knew that he would not say useless things, so he asked.
"It's like this. There are many traitors within the puppet government. They secretly purchase in-demand materials in the concession and then resell them for profit. But these things are done behind the back of the Japanese. Can we think of a way to let these traitors help us?
A handful."
This is an idea that Zhao Chengde just thought of. After all, the underground party's intelligence system is very powerful. It knows that some traitors, big and small, often use their power to resell materials in the concession, so this old party member came up with this method.
Hearing Zhao Chengde's words, Zhao Wentian frowned and said softly: "Comrade Chengde, how are you going to operate this matter? Do you have a clear goal?"
There was a hint of lack of confidence in Zhao Chengde's tone. After all, the matter this time was huge, and the Japanese were responsible for the inspection. Ordinary traitors might not be able to take people out.
The two have been partners for many years, and Zhao Chengde is very familiar with any of Zhao Wentian's actions. He immediately heard that the other party was lacking in confidence, so he smiled and said: "Comrade Wentian, it's like this. I mean, since these traitors are reselling in-demand supplies,
, proving that they are not dedicated to working for the Japanese.
This gives us room for maneuver, and we can choose a suitable target and use this leverage to coerce and induce him to cooperate with us in leaving the concession."
Zhao Wentian asked worriedly: "But the people checking at the checkpoint are Japanese military police. Ordinary people can't fool them."
Zhao Chengde spoke confidently: "Comrade Wen Tian, there are many traitors in the concession. There must be some people reselling supplies. If these people want to leave, I am afraid the Japanese will not check carefully."
"You mean to use the traitors who are looking for us to leave."
There was a hint of joy in Zhao Wentian's tone. After all, this plan was feasible.
"Yes, we can find a suitable target among the traitors in the concession, and then ask the overseas Chinese to pretend to be traitors and leave the concession."
This was Zhao Chengde's entire plan, which was to leave in a trick-or-treating way.
After hearing Zhao Chengde's method, Zhao Wentian nodded, and then said: "This method is feasible, but the target must be chosen well to avoid going wrong."
Zhao Chengde also nodded and said cautiously: "We must choose a suitable target. Fortunately, although the overseas Chinese are trapped in the concession, we can still come in and out normally, and the organizational intelligence network can also be used normally, so we should be able to investigate
This matter."
Zhao Chengde naturally knew the difficulty of this matter. After all, it was not easy to choose a suitable target, and the status of this traitor could not be high or low.
If the traitor's status is low and the Japanese are not familiar with it, they may check it carefully. However, traitors with high status are die-hards and are very dangerous.
"Well, I will send someone to investigate this matter now and try to choose a suitable target."
Zhao Wentian is also a decisive person. After having a solution, he immediately decided to try it.
Zhao Chengde did not object and immediately picked up his coat and wanted to go out with Zhao Wentian.
But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which shocked the underground gang members in the room.
Because although these people are distributed in several rooms, for the sake of caution, they cannot easily contact each other.
Especially the knocking on the door, although it was very gentle, there was no pattern and it was not the contact code of the underground party.
As the knocks on the door continued to come, Zhao Chengde glanced at Zhao Wentian, and with the hint in his eyes, he asked: "Who is it?"
After Zhao Chengde asked, he took out his pistol, and several other underground party members also took out their weapons, preparing to deal with unexpected situations.
"I'm from the southwest and want to visit Mr. Wang!"
The reply was not loud enough for people in the room to hear clearly, and then there was no sound.
Hearing these two sentences, Zhao Chengde frowned, glanced at Zhao Wentian, and gestured with his mouth: "It seems to be someone from Chongqing."
Zhao Wentian's expression also changed. After all, this answer was beyond his expectation. Then he thought about it and nodded to Zhao Chengde.
Understanding what Zhao Wentian meant, Zhao Chengde immediately walked to the door and opened the door carefully.
Zhao Wentian also followed with two underground party members. They cooperated very well and all pointed their guns at the door.
When the door opened, I saw two young men standing outside. One of them had an extraordinary bearing, and he looked like he was a high-ranking person.
The people standing outside the door were naturally Li Yunsheng and Zhang Hao. When he saw four guns pointed at the two of them, he couldn't help but smile: "We are all our own people, so there is no need to welcome them in this way!"
Li Yunsheng didn't care about the pistols in front of him. After all, he had just revealed his identity.
What's more, the underground gang in front of them would not shoot easily at all, because if they made a noise, they would soon attract the Japanese.
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Zhao Chengde asked: "Who is your friend? On which road?"
Zhao Chengde knew Li Yunsheng. After all, he was Liu Qing's direct leader, so he had seen Li Yunsheng's photos.
After hearing Zhao Chengde's words and looking at the acquaintance in front of him, Li Yunsheng felt a little emotional. After all, he had met Zhao Chengde more than once, but the other person did not know his identity.
"As I said just now, I am from Chongqing and want to pay a visit to Mr. Wang."
There was no one else in the corridor, but Li Yunsheng's voice was still very low, for fear of attracting others' attention.
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Zhao Chengde frowned. Just as he was about to say something, the other party continued: "My friend, let's go in and talk. After all, the Japanese are looking for you. If anyone really notices this place,
, but it’s dangerous.”
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Zhao Chengde looked into the corridor and found that there was no one else. He felt relieved, then glanced at Zhao Wentian, and then made a gesture to invite him in.
