Chapter 351 Return! (Please double the monthly ticket)
Cardinal Zhao stepped onto the wooden stairs under the miserable light and shadow.
Perhaps because it was in disrepair for many years, the wooden ladder was quite dilapidated and made a creaking sound when you stepped on it.
Shu Li Zhao glanced at Lu Dazhang and Lao Huang, nodded slightly, and said: Professional!
If you deliberately fail to replace the wooden staircase floor, the creaking sound itself is the best early warning signal.
In fact, under his seemingly calm face, Shuli Zhao still had countless question marks in his heart and was still shocked.
Lao Huang, that drunken old drunkard who drinks all day long, this old guy who always gets close to Cheng Qianfan, that extremely counter-revolutionary bad guy, is actually his comrade?
By the way, this guy even secretly killed his own dog for food!
Yes, among the dogs raised by the owner of the restaurant across the street from the patrol house, Cardinal Zhao had left them there for someone to raise.
And Lu Dazhang.
This person can be regarded as a veteran police officer in the French Concession. He is well-rounded and well-connected. He is especially known for being good at protecting himself and stingy with his life. Moreover, this seemingly good-tempered guy is also good at playing cards.
However, there is not much bad deeds after all.
Thinking of this, Shuli Zhao felt that Lu Dazhang was his comrade, so it was relatively easy to accept him.
Then he thought about Lao Huang. Lao Huang's approach to Cheng Qianfan, a guy who would become a traitor sooner or later, must have been arranged by the organization out of the need to lurk, right?
After going up the stairs, at the corner, there was a round hole in the wall. The round hole was covered by a cover. Governor Zhao lifted the cover directly, and you could see the glass inside, and you could see the outside through the glass.
The night is dark.
You can see that the clouds in the distance are very low, as if they might fall down at any time.
The most important thing is that looking out from this round hole, you can just see the entrance of the alley. If an enemy comes to make a surprise attack, the entrance of the alley will definitely be manned.
Old Huang glanced at Shu Li Zhao and smiled. This guy was indeed capable. He discovered these details at a glance.
…
"Please." Lu Dazhang gently pushed a door, and it opened about two finger widths.
Shuli Zhao glanced at Lu Dazhang, stepped forward and pushed open the door.
There are already people inside.
A man was sitting at the end of a long table, wearing a black top hat, looking down at a newspaper.
Above his head is a dim incandescent lamp.
Cardinal Zhao frowned slightly, although the man lowered his head and couldn't see clearly due to the dim light and shadow.
However, he still felt a strong sense of familiarity with this person.
"Inspector Zhao is here." The man put down the newspaper in his hand and raised his head, revealing his handsome face.
With a faint smile on his face, he looked over.
Side girl!
Cardinal Zhao cursed.
He really cursed, and at the same time, almost subconsciously, his right hand moved to his waist very, very quickly, quickly drew the gun, held the gun with both hands, and pointed it at Cheng Qianfan.
This man turned out to be Cheng Qianfan!
It turned out to be the counter-revolutionary patrol officer Cheng Qianfan who was extremely hostile to the Reds and had personally arrested Red comrades!
Governor Zhao held the gun with both hands, and there was an urge in his heart to kill this evil-ridden 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' with one shot.
However, his reason told him that things would not be that simple.
He looked at Zhang Ping.
At this time, his low trust in Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang felt weakened, and he was still more willing to trust Zhang Ping.
"Old Zhao, what are you doing? Put down the gun!" Zhang Ping said quickly with an eager look on her face.
Cardinal Zhao did not put down his gun.
"This is Comrade Cheng Qianfan, leader of the special party group in the French Concession," Zhang Ping said.
Cheng Qianfan looked at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, and he didn't feel any nervousness. He only had a wry smile in his heart.
"It seems that what I do in my daily life is indeed full of evil and arouses public outrage." Cheng Qianfan said towards Lao Huang and others.
As he spoke, he touched his chin, "So, I should be proud of my successful lurking."
As he said that, Comrade Huo Miao looked at Shu Li Zhao, with a sincere and gentle smile on his young and handsome face, "Comrade Sheng Aihua, Mr. Nan asked me to bring you a message."
"What are you talking about?" The hand holding Browning's gun trembled slightly, which made Old Huang's eyelids jump.
"When will you pay back the half pancake you owe me?" Comrade Huo Miao said with a smile.
"When the red flag of revolution is planted all over the land of Treasure Island." Shuli Zhao said word by word.
At the same time, his eyes widened slightly, and he stared at Cheng Qianfan again and again. His eyes were very sharp, as if he wanted to cut open the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs of the guy in front of him and take a closer look at what color it was.
.
…
Finally, Cardinal Zhao opened the safety and put away the gun.
"I never thought that the famous 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', the person I wish to get rid of as soon as possible, would actually be our comrade." Shu Li said with a wry smile, but there was still a look of disbelief in his eyes.
.
However, he was extremely certain in his heart that the guy in front of him was indeed his comrade.
Mr. Nan was the code name of Liu Zeliang, the section chief of the Special Section at that time, and the direct superior of Councilor Zhao.
The incident about half a pancake happened when Cardinal Zhao just arrived in Shanghai one day and he went to Mr. Nan's place to have a secret meeting for the first time.
Hungry, he looked around for something to eat, and when he found half a pancake that was already moldy, he couldn't care less and ate it all.
'Mr. Nan' later joked, "You owe me half a pancake, when will you pay me back?"
Cardinal Zhao smiled and said, wait until the red flag of revolution is planted all over the land of Baodao.
"You guys, each one is more exaggerated than the other." Cheng Qianfan laughed and said, "Old Huang, the old way."
He pointed at Lao Huang, "The first time they met me, they wanted to stab me to death."
Then he pointed at Zhang Ping and Councilor Zhao, "Comrade Yin Shuyun and Comrade Sheng Aihua, you two are indeed a couple. You both want to kill me with one shot."
"Who asked us to face the 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' who is full of evildoers?" Zhang Ping pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't shoot immediately. I was already very restrained."
Several people laughed.
Of course, this 'several people' did not include Director Zhao, who forced out a smile out of embarrassment.
"Let me formally introduce myself." Cheng Qianfan looked at Councilor Zhao with a serious expression, "Secretary of the French Concession Special Party Branch, Cheng Qianfan, codenamed 'Flame'."
He stretched out his right hand and said, "Comrade Sheng Aihua, welcome home."
Cardinal Zhao did not respond immediately. He took a deep breath, then strode forward, holding his hands tightly, "I'm going home!"
As he said this, he looked around at everyone, his eyes red, "Comrades, I'm going home."
…
Governor Zhao, whose mood was relieved, looked at Cheng Qianfan again and again, shaking his head as he looked.
"What's wrong?"
"I never would have thought that the real identity of the famous 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is..." As he said that, Councilor Zhao also smiled, and he exclaimed, "That's great."
Cheng Qianfan took out the cigarette case from his body, took a cigarette for himself, and signaled others to help themselves.
Shu Li took a glance and saw that Comrade Huo Miao was not smoking Marlboro and Hardman, which were the favorites of Mr. Xiao Cheng, but the Golden Brand cigarettes that Shanghai Tang smoked in large quantities.
"Comrade Huo Miao, I have a question." Cardinal Zhao said.
"What's the question?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"When did the organization screen and verify me?" Cardinal Zhao asked.
If this issue is not clear, he will not feel at ease. He is not afraid of sacrifice, nor is he afraid of being misunderstood by the people, or even being accidentally killed by his comrades, but he is afraid that he is unclear.
Cheng Qianfan smiled when he heard this and looked at Zhang Ping.
…
"As I mentioned last time, a friend wants to transport a batch of goods out of Shanghai." Zhang Ping said with a smile.
Governor Zhao understood instantly.
Zhang Ping came to him before and said that a friend wanted to transport a batch of goods out of Shanghai and asked him for help.
Shuli Zhao naturally knew the identity of Zhang Ping's 'friend'.
A puppet company commander at Donggou Wharf was his brother in contract, so Governor Zhao greeted him, prepared food and wine in advance, got the Japanese soldiers in the bayonet drunk, and transported the goods out without anyone noticing.
Governor Zhao only thought that the organization was doing things through Zhang Ping's "personal relationship" with him, but he did not expect that it was a test for him from the organization.
Cheng Qianfan also smiled.
In fact, even Zhang Ping didn't know what that batch of goods was.
What really needs to be transported is not the goods, but the workers who escort the goods.
This is the third and final batch of anti-Japanese youths transported out of Shanghai. At this point, the Shanghai Red Party's large-scale troop movement to support the Maoshan New Fourth Army was successfully completed.
In addition, this transportation work also fulfilled the test of Governor Zhao.
Previously, Cheng Qianfan gave advice to Cardinal Zhao through Zhang Ping:
It is recommended that Cardinal Zhao accept the olive branch of the extra-high school course.
At the same time, Cheng Qianfan also suggested to Sanbonjiro in a timely manner that he could arrange for Cardinal Zhao to pretend to accept Qiu Xing's solicitation and let him infiltrate the agency.
Sanbonjiro readily agreed.
Mimoto Jiro did not feel any psychological guilt for planting spies within a neighboring unit that was also an imperial spy agency. This kind of thing was simply a common occurrence among Japanese spy agencies.
In this way, Shuli Zhao not only joined the Special High School, but was also arranged by the Special High School to be infiltrated into another mysterious Japanese special agency.
Back to the troop transportation work, although Shuli Zhao did not know what the goods were to be transported, he must know that this was a very important item for the organization.
The "help" organization transported the third batch of anti-Japanese youths to leave Shanghai, which in itself shows the reliability of Governor Zhao.
In addition, if there is a problem with Shu Li Zhao, even though Shu Li Zhao clearly knows the importance of this batch of goods, he still chooses to take the long term to catch the big fish.
In this case, the enemy must be fully aware of this.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan secretly listened to the side attack inside the Super High School and did not hear any news. Then the day before yesterday, when he led people through Liu Bo to attack the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway Bunker, it was confirmed from Sanbenjiro that the Japanese side had always been suspicious.
How the Red Party transported a large number of people out of Shanghai proved from within the enemy that Councilor Zhao was indeed reliable.
In addition, the organization also conducted a secret investigation into the past experiences of Cardinal Zhao over the years, and the investigation showed that there was nothing wrong with Cardinal Zhao.
All verification shows that this is a Bolshevik fighter who has always been loyal to the party.
…
This French Concession Special Party Branch meeting is also the official meeting of the French Concession Special Party Group upgraded to the French Concession Special Party Branch.
It is also the first official ‘appearance’ of Governor Zhao after returning to the organization.
Comrade Huo Miao, secretary of the special party branch of the French Concession, first invited Comrade Zhao Shuli to speak and report his thoughts and work to the organization.
Shu Li Zhao talked about his understanding of the anti-Japanese plan under the current situation, and formally made a systematic report on his work during the period when he lost contact.
Comrade ‘Huo Miao’, together with Comrades ‘Piano’, ‘Feiyu’ and ‘Harmonium’, warmly welcomed Comrade Zhao Shuli home.
Later, Comrade Huo Miao brilliantly discussed the views of "On Protracted War" to all comrades.
It vividly explained the current domestic and international situation and pointed out the bright future for the people to win the war of resistance.
In the end, Comrade Huo Miao firmly said to his comrades: As long as we persist in the war of resistance, persist in the protracted war, and persist in the anti-Japanese national united front, the final victory will definitely belong to our people.
Everyone is excited and full of confidence in the anti-Japanese cause and the red cause.
Later, Comrade "Feiyu" also gave a speech. He praised Comrade Zhao Shuli and Comrade Zhang Ping for their Bolshevik spirit of being loyal to the party and the people and unremittingly searching for the organization during the period of loss of contact.
In addition, Comrade "Lao Huang" also introduced to the comrades present the line, principles and policies of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee that he learned from Comrade "Dandelion".
Of course, Zhao Shuli and Zhang Ping did not know about Comrade "Baozu Gong" and Comrade "Dandelion". Their organizational relationship would fall into the special party branch of the French Concession. Their understanding of Shanghai Red is currently limited to the French Concession. Concession Special Party Branch.
In addition, other important hidden identities of Comrade Huo Miao are also temporarily kept secret from Comrade Zhang Ping and Comrade Zhao Shuli.
The eyes of Zhao Shuli and Zhang Ping seemed to be radiating light. They had been away from the organization for too long. Now they are back in the arms of the organization and can always listen to the latest red spirit. For them, this is the greatest spiritual weapon!
…
"Comrade Shu Li Zhao." Cheng Qianfan looked at Shu Li Zhao with a serious expression, "Comrade 'Farmer' has given you a new code name."
"What is the code name Comrade 'Farmer' gave me?" Cardinal Zhao asked immediately.
"Yes, it is the code name given by Comrade 'Farmer', and Comrade 'Xiang Wu' also knows and approves of it." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"What's the code name?" Zhao Li asked, his eyes gleaming.
"Abacus!" Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
abacus!
Shuli Zhao read the name softly and nodded vigorously, "I like this code name."
"One more thing." Comrade Huo Miao looked at the crowd, "Our special party branch in the French Concession has a total of six comrades, and one comrade was unable to attend the meeting due to some reasons."
The faces of Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang were relatively calm.
Zhang Ping and Zhao Shuli showed expressions of surprise and curiosity, wondering who the comrade who had not shown up was.
"That comrade is Comrade Chen Zhou of the original Red Special Branch Red Team." Cheng Qianfan said with a solemn expression.
