Chapter 157: Confidentiality(1/2)
"Anyone who refuses to listen to dissuasion and attempts to do evil will be shot without mercy!"
Meng Shaoyuan's first group has blocked all the peripheral roads that must be passed from Shanghai to Nanjing.
Loaded with live ammunition.
No one knew what happened, and no one dared to ask.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense.
A car coming out of Nanjing city was stopped.
The driver got out of the car and said that the person in the car was the chairman of Hengyuan Company.
"Can't you understand people?" Zhao Changle now looks like a spy: "I told you, you are not allowed to go out or enter until the curfew is lifted!"
The rear door opened, and the chairman got out of the car, took out a pack of cigarettes and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, my company in Shanghai really has an emergency..."
"Are you really unable to understand people?" Meng Shaoyuan walked over with a sullen face.
"Oh, sir." The chairman's eyesight was good, and he could tell at a glance that Meng Shao was in charge of the command here: "I don't dare to stop official business. We are all our own people. My brother-in-law is in the city hall..."
"boom"!
At night, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
The chairman sat down on the ground.
Oh my god, the other party really shot.
He also punctured the car's tires.
Meng Shaoyuan put away the gun: "Get out!"
Seeing the chairman rolling away with the help of the driver, Meng Shaoyuan directed people to move the car aside.
"Who are we waiting for?" Tian Qi came closer and asked quietly.
Meng Shaoyuan looked to the side: "Madam."
"lady?"
"My wife is entrusted with a special car to return to Nanjing from Shanghai overnight. We are responsible for the safety of this section."
"problem occurs?"
"Stop asking so many questions."
After waiting anxiously for more than an hour, a convoy came far away.
As we drove closer, something suddenly happened.
The car at the front was turned off and motionless.
The road is narrow and only one car can pass.
A large number of armed men with weapons immediately jumped out from the front and behind, closely monitoring the surrounding area.
"Over there, come here!"
A middle-aged man in Chinese tunic suit came out of the stalled car and waved to Meng Shaoyuan: "Call your people to help push the car."
Yes, there is a gendarmerie guard nearby, and they themselves have so many manpower, but they can leave the hard work to agents like themselves?
Meng Shaoyuan did not dare to neglect, and while sending someone to push the cart, he went to drive the car parked not far away.
The car arrived and the stalled car was pushed to the side of the road.
Meng Shaoyuan got out of the car and hurried to the middle-aged man: "Let's drive away in our car."
The middle-aged man glanced at him: "Dai Li's people?"
Good guy, calling Dai Li by his first name is not polite at all.
"yes."
"May I have your name?"
"Meng Shaoyuan."
"I remember you, and I will return the car to you."
The convoy quickly roared away again...
…
In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, at 5 a.m. on December 12, 1936, the "Double Twelve Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries broke out.
Dai Li, who was in charge of intelligence work, did not get the conclusive news from Song Meiling, the wife of the chairman of the National Committee of the Communist Party of China, until that night, which was also the news he feared the most:
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a mutiny, and the Chairman was detained!
Nanjing, the northwest intelligence agencies are in chaos!
That night, Soong Meiling rushed back to Nanjing from Shanghai overnight.
There was also a small detail that happened.
The lead car of Madame's convoy stalled.
A small agent named Meng Shaoyuan from the Lixing Society helped clear away the accident car and then lent his car to the captain of the bodyguard, the wife of the envoy.
This is an insignificant drop of water in the mighty waves.
But no one knows what huge waves this insignificant drop of water will set off in the future with the help of this insignificant thing.
…
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng electrified the whole country:
"Reorganize the Nanjing government to accommodate all parties and factions and jointly take responsibility for saving the country; stop all civil wars; immediately release the patriotic leaders arrested in Shanghai; release all political prisoners across the country; open up the popular patriotic movement; guarantee all political freedoms of people's assembly and association; and truly abide by Premier Sun
Will; convene a national salvation meeting immediately!"
At 23:30 on the night of the 12th, the Nanjing government held a joint meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and the Central Political Conference, and decided to seize Zhang and Yang, who were both responsible for their respective duties, and handed them over to the Military Commission for strict handling.
The meeting finally decided to use both suppression and appeasement. On the one hand, He Yingqin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and on the other hand, Yu Youren was appointed as the ambassador of Xuanfu and Shaanxi-Gansu.
…
1 a.m. on the 13th.
Most of Meng Shaoyuan's subordinates will go to rest, and the rest of the men on duty will only stay in his office.
The office door opened, but there wasn't even a knock on the door.
There is only one person who can do this:
Dai Li!
"Director Dai!" Meng Shaoyuan quickly stood up.
"I saw...the light in your office was on..."
Dai Li's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
This is completely the same person as the Dai Li I saw before.
The calm and cold Dai Yunong disappeared.
Meng Shaoyuan can completely understand.
After all, he and the chairman of the committee are both prosperous and disadvantaged. If something happens to the chairman, Dai Li's power will be suppressed and squeezed out by the CC faction, and it will really be doomed in the future.
Dai Li was facing none other than Zhang Xueliang. What things did Zhang Xueliang dare not do or couldn't do?
But what about him? The person he wants to protect is the chairman of the committee, the number one figure in China, his own life security, and the life security of the Dai family.
There is no denying that Dai Li is indeed extremely powerful, but he is just a subordinate of the Chairman, one responsible for intelligence work.
The Double Twelve Incident was not something that people of his level could solve or participate in. Except for those agents, he could not influence anyone.
"Director Dai, please sit down."
Meng Shaoyuan said respectfully.
Dai Li sat down on Meng Shaoyuan's office chair: "You sit down too, you sit down too. Shaoyuan, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
He also changed the name of "Xiao Meng" to "Shaoyuan".
"Mr. Dai, such a big thing happened. Shao Yuan knew that Mr. Dai would not be able to sleep, so Shao Yuan did not dare to sleep. He waited here for Mr. Dai to call him."
Meng Shaoyuan also changed his title smoothly.
"Director Dai" is the public name in the unit, but the meaning of "Mr. Dai" is different.
In the workplace, different titles can often reveal a person's status in the company.
Lixingshe is essentially a big company.
"You're fine, you're fine."
Dai Li looked particularly tired: "After such a big thing happened, those who should go home to spend time with their wives will be with their wives, those who should be with their little wives will be with their little wives, and there will be no one who is loyal to the country.
You are just a small team leader, but you know how to stick to your post here and share my worries. You are very good, Shao Yuan, I did not misjudge the person."
