Five hundred and thirtieth chapters each take a step back
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold. Not only did several underground party members look ugly, but even Wang Chunsheng frowned.
Wang Chunsheng was originally dissatisfied with the incompetent National Government, so he chose to go to Shaanxi when he returned to China this time.
However, Li Yunsheng's attitude completely disappointed this overseas Chinese leader, so he said unhurriedly: "District Chief Li, I am free to go wherever I go, and I don't have to worry about the government."
Wang Chunsheng's words were surprising, but Zhao Wentian, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that as long as this overseas Chinese leader cooperates, no matter how big the difficulty is, he can still find a way to solve it.
"Mr. Wang, the Japanese are looking for you now. Without the protection of the military commander, it will be difficult for you to leave Tianjin."
Li Yunsheng's tone was very cold, with a hint of threat, which made the atmosphere in the room even colder.
Just as Wang Chunsheng was about to speak, Zhao Chengde on the side spoke first: "District Chief Li, as I said, our party has the ability to ensure the safety of our guests. You don't need to worry about this."
Hearing Zhao Chengde's words, Li Yunsheng's face became even uglier, and he said coldly: "What do you call me, your Excellency? Is this how your party talks to Shangfeng?"
In order to be more realistic, Li Yunsheng looked for trouble elsewhere and wanted to suppress Zhao Chengde and see this person's ability.
"My surname is Zhao, you can call me Lao Zhao. As for what District Chief Li said, Zhao doesn't agree. After all, I'm not a soldier, and you and I don't belong to each other, so how can we go to the top to talk about it."
Zhao Chengde is an experienced old party member. He has been fighting against the National Government for many years, so he is naturally experienced, so he has no problem in dealing with it, and Li Yunsheng has no clues to catch him.
Seeing that Zhao Chengde dealt with it well, Li Yunsheng thought to himself that these people are really difficult to deal with. It seems that they can only be a little barbaric, so he said meaningfully: "Mr. Zhao's eloquence is very good, but if Japan
If someone finds you here, I don’t know if you can still deal with it.”
Of course, these words were just for show. The purpose of Li Yunsheng's move was to show his informants, lest the headquarters think that he was not careful.
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, several other underground party members couldn't help but put their hands on their weapons, including Wang Chunsheng's bodyguard.
But Zhao Chengde narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "District Chief Li, we are a united front now. I don't think you will do anything that will hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy."
Li Yunsheng didn't pay attention to the small actions of several people, and then said to Zhao Chengde: "Mr. Zhao, of course I won't do anything. I'm just reminding you that you may not be able to protect these overseas Chinese."
Faced with Li Yunsheng's threat, Zhao Chengde also had some difficulties, because if the Japanese really found this place, both the underground party and the overseas Chinese would probably be wiped out.
Although Zhao Chengde believed that Li Yunsheng would not betray them, the military commanders were always ruthless and would use any means to achieve their goals, and they might also use the Japanese to deal with them.
At this time, Wang Chunsheng said: "District Chief Li, your performance is so disappointing. Wang will not be threatened by you."
Hearing that Li Yunsheng actually threatened the Japanese, the overseas Chinese leader was completely angry. After all, this behavior was shameless and made this highly educated elite very dissatisfied.
"Mr. Wang, I'm just telling the truth. Besides, Mr. Li's purpose is just to escort you to Chongqing."
Li Yunsheng was no longer nagging, and acted very savagely, as if he would never give up until he achieved his goal.
After hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Wang Chun was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Zhao Chengde, who was on the side, glanced at Zhao Wentian, and with the gesture from his eyes, he spoke again: "District Chief Li, can we talk in private?"
The two have been partners for many years, and they can tell what the other is thinking just by looking at each other, so Zhao Wentian simply nodded and left everything to Zhao Chengde.
The reason for this is that Zhao Wentian understands Zhao Chengde and knows that his ability to adapt to circumstances is not as good as his opponent's, so he made this decision.
Zhao Chengde's words hit Li Yunsheng's fancy. After all, it was not convenient to say some words in front of overseas Chinese, so he nodded.
The two of them went to the suite inside, and Zhao Chengde then said: "District Chief Li, I have heard about you and know that you have made many contributions to the Anti-Japanese War. I think you will never sell us to the Japanese.
Bar."
Li Yunsheng smiled and replied: "Mr. Zhao, I don't want to do this either, but the headquarters has issued a death order asking me to send these overseas Chinese to Chongqing. If these overseas Chinese don't go, you can..."
At this point, Li Yunsheng stopped talking, but the meaning behind his words was obvious.
This result did not surprise Zhao Chengde. After all, he knew the style of the National Government very well. However, Li Yunsheng's attitude made him unsure, so he asked tentatively: "If these overseas Chinese are not willing to go to Chongqing, how could District Chief Li
Really know how to take action."
"Li is a soldier, and military orders are difficult. If I really can't persuade these people, if there is no other way, maybe..."
Li Yunsheng still said half of the words, the purpose was to make Zhao Chengde nervous and facilitate the negotiation for a while.
"District Chief Li, if you do this, you will be a national sinner. After all, these overseas Chinese came to Shaanxi to contribute to the Anti-Japanese War."
Zhao Chengde wanted to persuade Li Yunsheng. After all, he knew that the person in front of him was a difficult character, and the military command was very powerful in Tianjin, which was not something that the underground party could handle.
Especially in the current situation, the underground party is protecting overseas Chinese. If Li Yunsheng is really ruthless, he can use the hands of the Japanese to kill them all without any consequences.
Therefore, Zhao Chengde could only use the overall situation of the war of resistance to oppress Li Yunsheng, hoping that the other party would not be impulsive.
As soon as Zhao Chengde finished speaking, Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "Even if I want to take the overall situation into consideration, I still have to give an explanation to the headquarters."
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Zhao Chengde breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little calmer, and then continued to ask: "District Chief Li, what do you really want."
Zhao Chengde had already seen that Li Yunsheng would not betray the underground party or the returned overseas Chinese. His previous behavior was probably just a test to see how much benefit he could get.
Guessing Li Yunsheng's purpose, Zhao Chengde went straight to the point. After all, the current situation was not good for the underground party, and the underground party had to deal with the Japanese and really had no time to fight against the military.
After listening to Zhao Chengde's words, Li Yunsheng knew that his goal should be achieved, so he smiled and said: "I know that your party will not agree to my bringing people to Chongqing, and we have great differences, so I propose that both parties
Everyone take a step back."
"How to take a step back."
Feeling that Li Yunsheng was not as strong as before, Zhao Chengde calmed down more and knew it was time to bargain.
"It's very simple. Your party will gather all the overseas Chinese together, and then I will persuade them to go to Chongqing. If you are willing to go, your party cannot stop them."
Li Yunsheng stopped probing and simply stated his purpose, then looked at Zhao Chengde with confident eyes.
Li Yunsheng's request was not excessive, and the current situation was very unfavorable to the underground party, so the old party member immediately made a decision: "Yes, I agree to your conditions, but District Chief Li can only persuade and cannot use other means.
"
"How could I use any means to meet you right under your noses?"
Li Yunsheng's tone was very casual and he looked confident, and he looked at Zhao Chengde with a bit of confidence.
"Okay, let's go out now."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Chengde wanted to go out, when Li Yunsheng spoke again: "Wait a minute, I have one more thing to say."
Zhao Chengde stopped and asked calmly: "Is there anything else?"
"This time the overseas Chinese returned home and brought back a large amount of funds raised from donations. This money was used to fight the war and must be handed over to the government."
Although Li Yunsheng had decided not to take advantage of the money, he still wanted to mention it for show.
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Zhao Chengde smiled and said with a hint of complacency: "This money was raised by overseas Chinese and is not something our party can decide. How to use it is naturally up to Mr. Wang."
After a pause, he continued: "If District Chief Li really wants to find money, he can make this request to Mr. Wang later."
Zhao Chengde was a good person. From Wang Chunsheng's attitude, he knew that this overseas Chinese leader had a bad impression of the National Government, so he practiced Tai Chi.
After hearing Zhao Chengde's words and seeing the other person's confident look, Li Yunsheng guessed that the money would definitely fall into the hands of the underground party, and the National Government would not be able to get a penny.
But this was Li Yunsheng's purpose, so he nodded and said seriously: "Okay, let's go out and talk."
After that, the two people left the suite. Zhao Chengde took people out to inform the overseas Chinese, and took the opportunity of informing the overseas Chinese to report the matter to Zhao Wentian.
Zhao Wentian agreed very much with Zhao Chengde's handling method. After all, he also knew that the Japanese were eyeing the situation eagerly, and the current situation could not be challenged by military commanders.
However, Zhao Wentian was not sure about the psychology of overseas Chinese. He didn't know how many people would go to Chongqing, so he sighed and said, "I really don't know how many people will be persuaded by Li Yunsheng."
The underground party did not arrange everything well, so the returned overseas Chinese were trapped in the concession and faced some risks. Naturally, the person in charge of the underground party was a little worried.
"Comrade Wen Tian, you don't have to worry. These overseas Chinese are all disappointed with the National Government, otherwise they wouldn't go to Shaanxi. Even if they face danger, I guess not many of them will go to Chongqing."
Zhao Chengde was very confident. After all, the Nationalist government was very corrupt and knowledgeable people could see this, so he believed that few people would go to Chongqing.
Hearing what Zhao Chengde said, Zhao Wentian also felt relieved, and then the two of them began to notify the overseas Chinese in other rooms.
