"I know." Chen Juanyi nodded and said in a low voice, "Before I came, my father also told me that I would persuade my brother to stop being a traitor."
"It's not just that you won't be a traitor anymore," Chen Gongshu said, "It's about making meritorious service and atonement for your sins."
He had a serious expression, "My brother in the early Ming Dynasty is now going astray and has lost his integrity. However, as long as he makes up for his merits, he will still be a good comrade."
"Yes." Chen Juanyi said with red eyes, "My father wrote a letter to his brother and urged him to stop and make meritorious service."
"Where is the letter from home? Can you show me?" Although Chen Gongshu was asking, he actually stretched out his hand directly.
Chen Juanyi did not refuse, took out scissors from her luggage, took out the letter sewn into her clothes and handed it to Chen Gongshu.
"I am admirable to understand the great righteousness." After reading the book, Chen Gong folded the letter and put it back to the envelope, handed it back to Chen Juanyi, and said in a more and more serious manner.
Chen Juanyi didn't say anything, carefully collected the letters, and felt very distressed. Her brother defected to the Japanese and became a traitor. The entire Chen family couldn't raise their heads in her hometown. She had already agreed to a marriage, but the partner knew that Chen Mingchu had become a traitor, so she immediately regretted the marriage and said that she would not seek marriage with the traitor family.
"Contact Chen Mingchu and arrange for Miss Chen to meet him." Chen Gongshu looked at Bi Xiandeng, the leader of the intelligence group, and said.
Bi Xiandeng thought for a while and said, "District, do you think where is the right place to meet?"
"Cangzhou Hotel." Chen Gongshu said.
Cangzhou Hotel has an internal support in Shanghai, which is more convenient and safer to move.
"Yes." Bi Xiandeng nodded. He also felt that Cangzhou Hotel was more suitable, at least he would feel much more at ease in a territory with his own people.
"First send someone to Chen Mingchu to send his boss's handwritten letter and ask him to hand it over to Wang Yingmu." Chen Gongshu said.
"Yes." Bi Xiandun nodded.
The Military Command personnel who escorted Chen Juanyi to Shanghai also brought Dai Chunfeng's handwritten letters to Wang Yanmu, hoping to persuade Wang Yanmu anyway.
...
"Director, what do you think about this?" Chen Mingchu asked Wang Yingmu with a sad expression.
Wang Yingmu didn't say anything, he was still reading the letters in his hand.
He recognized that this was indeed Dai Chunfeng's handwriting.
Dai Chunfeng can be said to be both soft and hard in his letters, and his words are sincere.
"I met you with a simple and honest person. I remember that I have followed each other in times of hardships for several years. I have been favored by everything. People may be unfair. I have never changed my colors, and it seems that I will not let you down. How dare you even betray other things? Where is your heavenly principle? How can you maintain your conscience?"
"If you surrender to the enemy alone, you will be in a temporary situation and have some consent. Later, you will be willing to be a thief and want to cut off your own country."
"I want to ask comrades to eliminate traitors, but I only think about the relationship between you and my brothers..."
"You are now in a high position in the opposite side, and you are also close to Wang Ni. You can take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and plan for me, so you are particularly sure to contact you in Shanghai. If you can do this, not only will you not blame others, but you will also be able to use your achievements to invite you to be rewarded with your achievements and seek merits. This is the time. I hope you will not let me down, but I will be able to achieve my goals from the early Ming Dynasty."
After Wang Yingmu read it, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He leaned against the sofa and said nothing for a long time.
"Director." Chen Mingchu said again.
He called Wang Yingmu after the position established after the reform of the Special Agent Headquarters in early September. At that time, Wang Yingmu was appointed as the director of the First Department of the Special Agent Headquarters.
However, less than two months later, the eight committees and departments established in September were abolished and replaced with four rooms.
Chen Mingchu's current position is the director of the First Division, which is mainly responsible for dealing with the Military Control Commission.
In this reform, Wang Yingmu will not hold an important position at the secret service headquarters for the time being. Wang Yingmu now has only one position as a member of the Central Committee of the Sixth National Congress of the National Party held in Shanghai in August.
"When did they contact you?" Wang Yingmu asked Chen Mingchu.
"Someone came to send a letter. I was shocked when I saw the letter and came to see you in a hurry." Chen Mingchu said.
Wang Yingmu looked at Chen Mingchu. He didn't really believe the "sent-book" statement that Chen Mingchu said, but he did not reveal it. Some things and some statements were just one statement.
"You and my brothers have come to this point, and they are all forced to this point by Zheng Lijun." Wang Yanmu thought about it and said.
"The director means that we can..." Chen Mingchu said with a frown.
Dai Chunfeng told him that he was resistant in his heart anyway, and he was just appointed as the director of the First Department of the Special Agents Headquarters. It was when Chunfeng was proud. Chen Mingchu firmly believed that Japan would sooner or later destroy China, just like the Qing Dynasty that was the Qing Dynasty that was determined to govern China. How could he be willing to return to the small court of Bian'an in Chongqing that would sooner or later be destroyed?
In addition, Dai Chunfeng has been persuading him to help assassinate Wang Baihai, so how stupid he has to agree to this matter.
Therefore, at this time, I felt a little moved when I heard Wang Yingmu's words, and Chen Mingchu's heart was filled with Xiao Jiujiu.
If Wang Yingmu was indeed anyway, I would be sorry. He could betray Wang Yingmu once, and he would not have any psychological burden for the second time.
Even Chen Mingchu vaguely hoped that Wang Yingmu would rebel from No. 76. In this way, he would thank Brother Wang for the heads he gave him repeatedly.
"Although what Dai Chunfeng said is reasonable." Wang Yanmu shook his head, "But I don't believe him very much."
He said to Chen Mingchu, "He asked us to help assassinate Mr. Wang, this kind of thing is too dangerous."
"Then we..." Chen Mingchu said in contemplation.
"Since they have found you, I believe they will continue to contact you later." Wang Yingmu thought for a while and said, "Let's worry about it, let's discuss all the issues slowly."
"In the early Ming Dynasty, everyone was followed by the leader of the eldest brother Wang." Chen Mingchu said with a sigh.
His heart relaxed. Wang Yingmu said this. When he had contact with Chongqing, Wang Yingmu endorsed the letter. If something happened, he would sell Wang Yingmu backhand and there was also a saying:
He was threatened by Wang Yimu and pretended to be with Wang Yimu. He was in contact with Chongqing on the surface, but in fact he was secretly investigating and was ready to fight Wang Yimu and Chongqing at any time.
After Chen Mingchu left, Wang Yingmu picked up Dai Chunfeng's handbook and read it over and over again, sighing from time to time.
He just told Chen Mingchu that he surrendered to the Japanese because he was forced by Zheng Lijun. This was just one reason, and the most direct reason was that Chen Mingchu sold him!
According to his observation of Chen Mingchu's expression just now, Wang Yingmu was alert. He did not trust Chen Mingchu, and he suspected that this guy would sell him again.
Thinking of this in his heart, Wang Yingmu picked up the lighter, fired, and lit Dai Chunfeng's handbook.
Looking at the burning letter, Wang Yingmu was suddenly shocked and hurriedly stepped on the flames.
However, looking at the half-burned letter, Wang Yingmu was stunned for a moment, his face became even more gloomy, so he could only fire again and completely burn the letter to ashes.
...
Recently, the number of private meetings with Mr. Xiao Cheng and his mistress Zhang Ping was a lot. Cheng Qianfan’s subordinates all talked privately that Aunt Zhang has been quite favored recently, and that Aunt Ying has dropped a lot.
He was waiting for Kuang Xiaoqin at Zhang Ping's house, and was reading the newspaper at this moment.
"Shenbao" has become one of the few newspapers in Shanghai that still adheres to a relatively objective attitude and reports on Chongqing news.
"I have heard that prices in Chongqing are rising very quickly." Zhang Ping looked at the newspaper page and said.
In February of the lunar calendar, the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the State Government issued the "Measures for Assessing Prices in Extraordinary Periods and Banning Speculative Manipulation". However, after more than ten months, the measure has been confirmed to have failed and prices in the Kuomintang-controlled area have risen.
To this end, the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the State Government announced the "Measures for the Premium Purchase and Sales of Daily Necessities" a few days ago, trying to stabilize prices.
There is an editorial on "Shen Bao", which is not optimistic about Chongqing's ability to calm prices. The reason is very direct. The Kuomintang army has lost territory one after another recently, and military failure will inevitably lead to the economy becoming more and more chaotic.
In the middle of last month, the Japanese Fifth Division and a mixed brigade landed in Qinzhou Bay, Guangxi, and then marched rapidly. They invaded Fangcheng on the 16th and Qin County on the 17th.
The Military Commission of the Chongqing National Government sent a telegram to Bai Chongxin, the director of the Guilin battalion, and ordered the 16th Army to defend Nanning with two divisions and not to retreat without orders; and ordered Du Guangting's Fifth Army to reinforce Guinan from Hengshan, Hunan, and Fu Yihan's 99th Army moved from Xiangtan and Guiyang, Hunan to Liuzhou, and Yao Du's 36th Army to gather from Chongqing and Dangyang, Hubei to gather to reinforce the 16th Army.
However, the Japanese army was in full force and the national army lost its territory one after another. The Japanese army immediately captured Nanning and continued to march, and invaded the strategic location of Kunlun Pass, threatening China's southwest international transportation line and the strategic rear of the southwest.
"Will Guangxi fall?" Zhang Ping asked.
"Guangxi is the gateway to Chongqing, so it must not be lost." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "If you don't say anything else, Bai Chongxin's troops will definitely fight to the death!"
"The Guangxi wolf soldiers are still very good at fighting." Zhang Ping nodded and said.
"Bai Chongxin's elite troops were mostly damaged in Songhu, so his life is not easy now." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said.
During the Second Battle of Shanghai more than two years ago, Bai Chongxin sent Guangxi wolf soldiers to travel a long distance from Guangxi and came to Shanghai for two or three months. The exhausted Guangxi soldiers went directly to the battlefield, and then large areas were directly bombed by Japanese naval guns. Often when a shell was shot, a whole squad of soldiers were blown away, and the bones were left unsustained. After the war, Shanghai citizens conquered Guangxi wolf soldiers with tears in their eyes. Many of them were not allowed to have their entire corpses. They could only judge that they were the corpses of Guangxi soldiers based on Tony's helmet.
After that, the battle of Xuzhou was held, and the commander of the Chief Li, the three troops of Guangxi wolf soldiers, had countless casualties and injuries, which could be said to have damaged the foundation.
This time Guangxi is in crisis. The Military Committee of the Chongqing National Government ordered the mobilization of the strategic reserve team north of Guilin to fight the battle to defend Guangxi.
Although he said that Guangxi cannot be lost and would not be lost, Cheng Qianfan was inevitably anxious. Guangxi was too important to Chongqing. The Japanese army occupied Nanning and Kunlun Pass, which comprehensively threatened China's southwest international transportation line and the southwest strategic rear. Nanning must be recaptured, otherwise it would be troublesome.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and Zhang Ping's close friend Ms. Kuang Xiaoqin came to visit.
"I have to pay special attention now and remind myself at all times." Zhao Shuli said with a wry smile, "I have pretended to be a woman for a lot of times, and I am always worried that I will behave abnormally without realizing it."
"Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Qianfan didn't laugh, and he said with a serious expression.
"I have made friends with Meng Ketu recently," said Zhao Shuli. "Now I will talk about this person's situation."
He took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Meng Ketu was Wang Yingmu's trusted bodyguard, and he was also Wang Yingmu's capable subordinate when he was in Pingjin."
"Meng Ketu has something to do in his heart and always drinks a lot of wine." Zhao Shuli said, "After I listened to the side attack, I finally figured out something. Meng Ketu was once married and had a wife and children. Later, his wife was killed by a Japanese plane. The child was later sick and disappeared. He recorded all this in the Japanese account."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Is it the time when the Northeast fell?"
He remembered that Zhao Shuli mentioned that Meng Ketu was from Northeast China.
"It should be that Meng Ketu didn't say it, so I can't explore this matter too much." Zhao Shuli said. After all, this topic is still relatively sensitive inside No. 76, and he needs to pay attention.
"This person had said before that Wang Yingmu was killed by Chen Mingchu, and he had a blood feud with the Japanese." Cheng Qianfan thought, "It seems that Meng Ketu has hatred in his heart and his conscience is not gone. You can try to get in touch."
He lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said, "If we can convince Meng Ketu anyway, we will eradicate Wang Yingmu, Chen Mingchu and other traitors will fall on Meng Ketu."
"I think I can give it a try." Zhao Shu thought for a while and said.
Seeing Cheng Qianfan nodding, he did not continue to ask. This was the military commander's anti-traitor operation. Their Red Party secretly participated and had made a contribution to providing such important information. Others were not needed, nor could they be involved, and outsiders could not know that the Red Party was involved in this matter. Otherwise, it would bring safety hazards to Comrade "Scarlett".
"Secretary Cheng, Comrade Luo Yannian successfully escaped from danger. Will this have an impact on your latent lurking in Chongqing?" Zhao Shuli asked with concern.
"It's okay." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. Looking at the whole thing, he had no sign of participation. Even because of Haozi's concealment, he didn't know that Lu Weilin was the Red Party at the beginning.
However, a patch was required for this matter, so Cheng Qianfan decided to find an opportunity to scold Haozi.
...
Cheng Qianfan did not stay at "Aunt Zhang" for the night, and he went home tonight.
The next morning, Haozi came to Cheng Mansion to meet him.
Cheng Qianfan called Li Hao to the study room.
"Notify Taozi, and he will arrange for someone to have a secret contact with Meng Ketu." Cheng Qianfan said, pausing for a moment, and he said with a serious expression, "Let Taozi arrange for Zhou Xiliang to have a secret contact with Meng Ketu and strive to convince Meng Ketu anyway."
He was worried that Taozi would meet Meng Ketu in person, and Taozi was bold and meticulous, so he could do such a thing, so he thought about it and then pointed it out.
"I understand." Li Hao said.
"You must be prepared to respond completely." Cheng Qianfan reminded him.
Although according to the investigation, Meng Ketu was in a state of hatred and hatred, and was actually unwilling to be a traitor. This person may be instigated, but he had to be careful of the people and the face but not the heart.
"Yes." Li Hao said, "There is one thing that Yang Changnian sent a signal to meet."
