An Wan always remembers what Comrade Wu Zhiwen of the Central Special Branch, whom she called "Uncle", said to her.
That was the only meeting between her and Wu Zhiwen.
"Uncle" told her the basic principles of the party's secret intelligence work:
For example, the first thing is to strictly observe the secrets!
Abide by discipline!
Unless the liaison officer appointed by the leader and directly go online and offline, no matter what is related to secret work, you will be told to anyone.
In addition, always keep the revolution in mind, but do not expose progressive ideas. On the surface, you should say things that support the National Party and do what the National Party should do.
Even if you see with your own eyes, hear the death of a revolutionary comrade or related sad news, you must hold back and smile as usual, and not have any abnormalities!
This is the iron discipline of a "lurker".
...
After dinner, An Wan returned to the Central Party Committee and happened to meet Chu Jiaxian taking a walk in the yard to digest food.
"The chairman is taking a walk." An Wan greeted the old commander Chu Jiaxian.
The two of them chatted while walking.
"Xiao An, what did Mingxin go to Bashang a few days ago?" Chu Jiaxian suddenly asked.
An Wan's heart tightened. Her husband Huai Mingxin went to Ba Shang, but in fact he was secretly connecting with the organization to convey a very secret information.
Fortunately, she was wise in a hurry and was not panicked at all. "I met a few days ago, a few days ago. You know the current situation. Everyone lives a tight life. Mingxin later heard me talk about this and thought that he would help me."
"Yes, the country is in danger, and everyone's life is not easy." Chu Jiaxian nodded and said with relief, "You couple can think of helping the countryside, do the right thing and do well."
As he said that, he took out his wallet from his pocket and handed all the money in it to An Wan, "There is not much money, and you, Xiao An, have helped you with righteousness. Of course, I, as the chairman, can't watch it."
He stuffed the banknotes into An Wan's hand and sighed, "My hometown is falling and the people are drifting. I, the provincial chairman, feel ashamed."
"Chairman." An Wan quickly comforted her, "In fact, everyone is very grateful to you, and they all say that you saved Hangzhou at a critical moment."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaxian felt a little relieved, but then sighed, "Is it safe? However... I finally fell under the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders, and I feel ashamed of my fellow villagers."
As he said that, he shook his head and left with his hands behind his back.
...
An Wan looked at Chu Jiaxian's back as she left, and felt relieved. Fortunately, she was quick to change Chu Jiaxian's attention. Otherwise, if Chu Jiaxian broke the casserole and asked the whole thing, it would be troublesome.
In fact, the reason An Wan found in an emergency is amazing!
Not only did she find an excuse for her husband Huai Mingxin to go to Ba, she also successfully extended and developed new topics, successfully diverting Chu Jiaxian's attention.
All of this is naturally attributed to An Wan's understanding of Chu Jiaxianzhi very much.
A year and a half ago, the Kuomintang army withdrew from Jiaxing.
The Japanese army approached.
Hangzhou is in chaos.
The staff of the Central Committee, China, Transportation, and the four banks of farmers left three to four million silver dollars unattended and all fled.
Chu Jiaxian was furious when he heard the news and ordered the four banks to return to Hangzhou for a retreat. He immediately prepared transportation for the four banks' retreat and sent police to escort them.
In this way, the four banks' reserves were fully withdrawn from Hangzhou.
After that, the Ministry of Military Affairs sent two tons of explosives to order the Qiantang River Bridge to blow up.
Qiantang River Bridge is the main channel for evacuating materials and personnel. Once it is blown up, the objects and people's lives and property that have not been evacuated will suffer serious losses.
Chu Jiaxian said to the visitor: "When this bridge was built, it was indeed a place where explosives were installed, and it could be blown up at any time.
I have no objection to blowing up the bridge, but now this is the main channel for evacuating materials and personnel. You cannot blow up the bridge until the last moment. All responsibilities are to be taken by me, the chairman."
Chu Jiaxian then telegraphed the Ministry of Military Affairs, demanding that the bridge bombing be delayed.
In this way, the Qiantang River Bridge was only blown up after the military and civilians in Hangzhou had completed their retreat. In a few days, many more supplies and people were transported out, and the soldiers were injured.
...
On the eve of the Japanese occupying Hangzhou, the commander-in-chief ordered the preparations for the burning of Hangzhou to carry out the "scorched earth war of resistance".
For this reason, Chu Jiaxian strongly opposed and fought against it.
Later, Hangzhou gentleman Jin Runquan and others reported to Chu Jiaxian that someone had already marked the area mark on Hangzhou Street, labeled it, prepared arson materials such as tinder oil and wood, and prepared to burn Hangzhou.
Chu Jiaxian immediately arranged personnel to inspect the city, and labeled the prepared arson materials such as kerosene and wood in the areas designated by the Rangers, and strictly controlled them.
He also repeatedly strictly stopped the arson of the Rangers as the chairman of Zhejiang Province and the commander of security.
In the end, under Chu Jiaxian's strong opposition and protest, the Rangers did not set fire to the fire, and Hangzhou City was finally preserved intact.
Hangzhou citizens are grateful to Chu Jiaxian for these things.
However, Chu Jiaxian, who was responsible for defending the territory, was unable to organize the retreat in Hangzhou well.
Before the Japanese army captured Hangzhou, important personnel from all departments of the province and city gave up their duties and became in chaos. Some people even contacted Shanghai traitors and committed acts to surrender to the enemy in order to protect their wealth, and the political situation in Zhejiang was in chaos.
This also led to Chu Jiaxian's final resignation from the position of Chairman of Zhejiang Province.
Before leaving office, the members and directors of the Zhejiang Provincial Government made a resolution: to give Chu Jiaxian 50,000 yuan in political expenses.
It is said that the past chairman has left office, but in the end it was rejected by Chu Jiaxian.
Chu Jiaxian said that after all, Hangzhou lost his hands, and in the face of national crisis, he publicly charged 50,000 yuan of "resignation fee", which wouldn't it be a laughing at the world?
In fact, Chu Jiaxian felt that he had no face to take the money.
An Wan knows all this well, and she knows very well Chairman Chu’s complex emotions about the elders in Hangzhou:
Not only was he relieved of the fire that saved Hangzhou from the fire, but he had to be responsible for the bad and chaotic situation before the fall of Hangzhou.
Therefore, An Wan cleverly said that when she met the wandering Hangzhou villagers who came to Yucheng to take refuge and were displaced, this would inevitably arouse Chu Jiaxian's feelings and be able to successfully change the topic.
At the same time, although he felt guilty about the villagers in Hangzhou, Chu Jiaxian had no choice but to do anything about this situation.
With An Wan's understanding of him, Chu Jiaxian would probably take out a sum of money "within his ability" and would not ask about it again, which also prevented Chu Jiaxian from asking about it again in the future. To put it bluntly, Chairman Chu's actions-
This is just 'just be at peace'!
...
The roundup came very suddenly.
After many days of interrogation, the "Big Officer" finally spoke. He explained to the Japanese military police headquarters a secret transportation station in the French Concession in Shanghai.
The Japanese army proposed very harsh negotiations to the French Concession.
The Japanese army on Baidu Bridge suddenly pointed the muzzle at the concession.
The French Concession authorities once again admitted their defeat in the face of Japanese bullying.
Umezuzuzu, the upper left of the military police headquarters, led a team of Japanese military police to enter the French Concession with great power.
The French Concession authorities ordered the Central Police Station to cooperate with the Japanese military police to launch an arrest operation.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ took the initiative to ask him to lead the team and cooperate with the Japanese.
Jin Kemu refused, and General Jin decided to lead the operation himself.
Cheng Qianfan understood that Jin Kemu was "not at ease" and was extremely close to the Japanese. Mr. Jin was hoping to have the opportunity to save one or two people for legitimate reasons.
Of course, all of this is within Cheng Qianfan's calculations. He volunteered because of his identity as "Kentaro Miyazaki". He calculated that the more he was like this, the more Jin Kemu would stand up. Some things that were inconvenient for him to do, Jin Kemu could find a way to do.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan did not think that the arrest operation on the upper left could be rewarding.
It has been a few days since the "first mate" was arrested. Unless the Central Commission for Discipline is a fool, all traffic points and personnel related to the "first mate" should have been transferred long ago.
...
However, soon Cheng Qianfan realized that he was wrong.
He did not understand the specific situation of the Zhongtong transportation station explained by the "Big Officer", and he did not understand why the Zhongtong party did not arrange for the emergency evacuation of the traffic station. The actual situation was:
When the Japanese military police and police officers came to arrest him, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the traffic station was caught in a jar.
Gunshots rang out.
