As the young guards around Wu Ming took the order and left, Dai Li was deeply afraid of Wu Ming's omnipotent method. Hearing that his subordinates were arrested and detained, he was rarely angry, and introduced several confidant generals behind him to Wu Ming one by one as if nothing had happened.

Wu Ming, who came from later generations, only knew the names of Mao Renfeng, Chen Gongshu, and even film and television characters Yu Zecheng, and other powerful military commanders. He had no impression of Mao Sen and Hu Guozhen. He acted very dull and just nodded and perfunctory. However, after hearing Wei Daming's name, he seemed very surprised and took the initiative to express his hand to greet him:

"We have been looking back for a long time. Mr. Wei's name is really well-known. The small radio station developed by the research and development of the research team led by Mr. Wei in the past two years is very useful. The cost is nearly one-third cheaper than other radio stations, but the communication efficiency is nearly twice as high... We have obtained two through the military logistics department. It took us half a year to understand the core technology, and then introduced the production process from the United States for mass production. By now, Maoliangwu Electrical Factory has reached the scale of producing fifty radio stations per month. Mr. Wei has worked hard and made great contributions."

At this time, most people did not have the awareness of protecting intellectual property rights. Wei Daming was not very resistant to Wu Ming's use of his own design. Instead, he was flattered by Wu Ming's admiration for him. He smiled modestly when shaking hands, and invisibly developed a lot of favor towards Wu Ming.

"Mr. Wei has any plans to change his job? Our new second division attaches great importance to the construction of radio stations. If Mr. Wei can come, I can appoint Mr. Wei as the director of the Telecommunications Department of our Phoenix Mountain Base."

Wu Ming's public poaching action made Dai Li very annoyed. Fortunately, Wei Daming was more optimistic about his future and future in the secret service, and politely declined Wu Ming's appeal.

At this time, the Secret Service was not as prestigious as the establishment of the Military Affairs Bureau. Although Dai Li performed more important than the general division commander and was more trusted by Chiang Kai-shek, his military rank is now just a mere colonel. There is no better way for Wu Ming, who has been appointed as the official promotion of major general by the Military Commission's General Office, and he has to go directly to the topic:

"Teacher Wu, I won't say much about polite words. I think you know the intention of Dai here... In fact, even if you don't come to the door today, I will send someone to notify you that Dai is going to Maoliangwu to see what is going on with the Kumaling Fluorite Mine worth tens of millions, and check if there are any violations... You can just send a message now and approve it."

"oh?"

Wu Ming looked embarrassed: "In order to prevent Japanese spies and traitors from sabotaging the destruction, dozens of kilometers around Maoliangwu were included in the military restricted area, and Kumaling happened to be included. If the communication certificate issued by our new second division is not allowed to be released..."

Seeing Dai Li's face becoming extremely ugly, Wu Ming smiled and said:

"Of course, what is the relationship between Director Dai and me... If you don't talk about anything else, I have to sell my face to Brother Du in Shanghai no matter what. How many communication certificates do Director Dai need to arrange?"

Dai Li looked straight: "At least our people need one copy... When I was in Nanjing, I heard from the two generals Liangzhen and Baifu that Mao Liangwu has developed well in recent years and is more prosperous than ordinary county towns. This is a good experience."

"Dudu——"

At this time, the sound of a car horn and brakes suddenly sounded outside the hotel. The sound of parking was stopped. Dai Simin, the owner of the hotel who was standing beside Wu Ming, hurriedly accused him of guilt and then went out. Soon, Fang Youchun, director of the Quzhou Administrative Office, and Qi Ke, the supervisor of Quzhou Military Station, appeared at the door of the hall accompanied by Dai Simin and his two senior officials' aides and followers.

Seeing that all local military and political officials were dispatched, Dai Li did not dare to be negligent at all, so he hurriedly joined hands with Wu Ming to welcome him, greeted Fang Youchun and Qi Ke, and then the group went to Piaoxiang Tower for dinner at Wu Ming's kind invitation.

During the meal, the cups and chopsticks were sermoned. Du Yuesheng, who was far away in Shanghai, called himself to make peace for Dai Li and Wu Ming, hoping that the two of them could abandon their past grudges and turn them into jade and silk.

Dai Li didn't know that this was the result of Wu Ming's call to Du Yuesheng beforehand.

Although Wu Ming was determined to slapped Dai Li's spirit and prevented him from doing things in his own territory, he was unwilling to offend this intelligence leader who was powerful in the future, with titles such as "Chang Kai-shek's sword", "China's Gestapo", and "China's Himmler".

The secret service office is much worse than the Party Affairs Investigation Office led by Xu Enzeng. Since there is no CC department as a backing, it is very scarce in terms of personnel allocation and funds, and it does not even have an armed force in its hands, and it is not valued in the army. Dai Li can only play the card in his hands with all his strength and is unwilling to offend local powerful generals.

As the agents from the secret service department, jointly arrested by the New Second Division and the Qu County Police Department, came to Piaoxianglou for dinner, Wu Ming personally toasted and apologized one by one, making people feel like spring breeze. Dai Li, who felt that he saved his face, finally relaxed his defenses. Whether it was true or false, he began to be commensurate with the Wu Ming brothers.

After the banquet was over, Fang Youchun, Qi Ke and others said goodbye, but the people from the secret service were all drunk with Wu Ming's deliberate welcome.

The next morning, Dai Li, who woke up from a hangover, saw that the secret investigation could no longer be carried out. Staying so many people in Quzhou was undoubtedly a huge waste of human resources for the secret service, so he divided the personnel into two batches, one by one to Hangzhou, and then used various means of transportation there to return to his post, while the remaining people followed him to Maoliangwu.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a passenger ship and an inland river patrol boat dispatched by Wu Ming docked at Quzhou North Pier. Dai Li followed Wu Ming to the patrol boat in front. After visiting the simple cabin facilities of the patrol boat, he came to the fore deck and held the railing to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Changshan River.

Two hours later, the fleet berthed at the pier of Zhaoxian Town, waiting for the secret service staff to get on board.

Dai Li stood at the bow of the boat and saw the boat coming and going on the Changshan River like a crucian carp crossing the river. He couldn't help but ask Wu Ming, who was accompanying him, curiously:

"Why is the shipping industry in western Zhejiang so developed? Even on the Yangtze River, there is no grand occasion with sails coming. Can't we say that the industry and commerce in western Zhejiang have reached such a peak?"

"Where is Brother Yunong so exaggerated? Compared with Yangtze River Shipping, our western Zhejiang may not even be able to reach one-thousandth of the transportation volume."

Wu Ming shook his head: "Qianjiang and its tributaries can only be suitable for small-tonnage inland ships to navigate, mainly freighters and sailboats within 200 tons. I wonder if Brother Yunong noticed that most of the ships going west were full of loads, while those returning east were mostly empty? This is because the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce is seizing the last peace time and trying to stockpile steel, fuel, machinery, chemical raw materials and fertilizers. If the war begins and the Japanese send a fleet to block China's offshore, we can only rely on limited inventory to support it."

Dai Li frowned: "Why, now my brother still insists that there will be a war between China and Japan? Late last month, the diplomatic departments of China and Japan signed an agreement at the Huamao Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai. The Chinese government withdrew the security forces deployed at the junction of Zhabei and the East and North Districts of the Public Concession, and set Zhabei as a non-armed area. At the same time, Mr. Huang and Du handed over all the industries under Zhang Xiaolin's name in Hongkou and Yangshupu areas to the Japanese, and the Shanghai issue was successfully resolved."

"It can be said that since the Great Wall crisis, the hidden dangers that are most likely to cause war between China and Japan have been eliminated. It is hard to imagine that there will be a high-risk area that will once again cause war."

Mao Sen, who came out of the cabin, heard the conversation between the two and immediately agreed: "This statement is not a Japanese economic visit to China led by Kenji Koji, the president of the Xuji China Trade Association, and is currently on a visit in North China. The two sides have previously finalized more than ten cooperation projects, and the Japanese investment amount is as high as 10 million yen. No matter how you look, it doesn't look like you are going to fight."

Wu Ming smiled faintly: "Brother Yunong, Brother Mao, as the leader in the intelligence community, have you not noticed the changes in our central government? Wang Chonghui, who was pro-British and the United States, has replaced Zhang Qun, who was pro-Japanese and Japanese, to take charge of the diplomatic power of the Nanjing government. Some pro-Japanese and Japanese governments have left one after another. At the same time, the attitude of the North China authorities towards Japan has become tougher with the central anti-Japanese policy, and has repeatedly refused the Japanese economic support to jointly prevent the Communist Party. Such all these will surely stimulate the Japanese."

"In my opinion, the so-called "equality and foreign policy" toward China advocated by the Japanese Linxian Cabinet is just a cyclical ebb in the Japanese expansionist movement. As the situation of this government becomes worse and worse, collapse is inevitable. Once a new cabinet is formed, the rising wave of aggression and expansion movement will surely rush faster and farther than the previous tide... Let's wait and see."

Dai Li's expression moved: "My dear brother is so familiar with the situation in Japan?"

Wu Ming smiled: "I have a wide range of interests and hobbies. When I was a child, I was trapped in a remote countryside. In recent years, I have been eager to learn all kinds of books. As my horizons and knowledge accumulation becomes more and more abundant, my curiosity about unknown things has become increasingly greater. Now, not only are all well-known newspapers in China, but newspapers and magazines from Britain, the United States, France and Germany also collected as much as possible. Although the timeliness is worse than that in Shanghai, I have a clear and intuitive understanding of the current situation."

"From newspaper news, Japanese politics is now in chaos. With the Japanese Parliament officially passed this year's government budget in April, Lin Xian's cabinet suddenly announced the dissolution of the parliament for general elections... Lin Xian's excuse of dissolution of the parliament was to ask for a sling, but in fact, it was to use this to exclude political parties and establish a cabinet that colluded with the government and the military. However, the result of the election was completely contrary to expectations. In the House of Representatives election, more than 90% of the opposition members were, and the cabinet had a small seat."

"Lin Xianjuro backfired and shot himself in the foot. This is not a sign that a mature politician should have. Now Lin Xian's cabinet is in a turmoil. Once the parliament requires the resignation of the cabinet, Lin Xianjuro can only step down in disgrace. Judging from the development of the situation, this possibility is getting bigger and bigger. This means that the so-called "equality" against China advocated by Lin Xianjuro's cabinet will soon fall into trouble."

Dai Li was silent for a long time and repeatedly pondered Wu Ming's views.

In fact, with the rapid expansion of the secret service, Dai Li has mostly understood the situation in the Japanese archipelago, and even knows more detailed than Wu Ming. Combining all kinds of information, Dai Li has to admit that what Wu Ming said is not false. Japan's political situation has now entered the crossroads, and the next step is very critical.
