Seeing Cheng Qianfan's tired face, Zhang Ping walked behind Cheng Qianfan and helped him massage his head.
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan thanked him softly. He closed his eyes and let himself relax for a while.
He arranged for Li Hao to secretly guide Pete to disturb Lou Hanru's interview with him. His original intention was to draw Pete into the interview, so that he could temporarily "step back" and observe secretly with a hunter's mentality:
Peter is a senior French police officer. Since Lou Hanru wants to interview about the European war, to a certain extent, Peter is the most suitable interviewee. The unexpected arrangement he created is reasonable.
However, he didn't expect that Peter would actually take a photo.
Of course, this unexpected situation is normal and not unacceptable.
He had already known that Lou Hanru was a Japanese spy before. Cheng Qianfan's original plan was to pretend not to know, and pretend to be in conflict with Lou Hanru. He could even go back and discover more Japanese special agents from Lou Hanru.
However, Lou Hanru frequently mentioned Soviet Russia and the color red, which was a strong sense of probing.
This made Cheng Qianfan immediately decide to report his suspicions about this "Shanghai Daily News" reporter to Imamura Hyoutaro.
It was somewhat difficult to make this decision, because once Lou Hanru's situation was reported to the Japanese side, his previous strategy of pretending to be submissive and doing it secretly would have to be abandoned.
However, Cheng Qianfan thought over and over again and decided to report the matter to Hyoutaro Imamura.
Because he was not sure whether Lou Hanru deliberately mentioned red and Soviet Russia to test his attitude towards red, or whether it was a test of this temptation.
In short, Cheng Qianfan did not dare to be careless or take any chances.
The photos taken by Pete can be used just right.
This unexpected photo may seem out of place, but it can help him hide it to a certain extent:
This kind of truly unexpected incident can be quite useful on specific occasions and moments.
Cheng Qianfan really didn't expect that Lou Hanru was actually Chikitaharaji pretending to be, nor did he expect that Imamura Hyoutarou secretly vented his anger on Miyazaki Kentaro by seconding Chikitaharaji, Sanbonjiro's new favorite general, to Mei.
organ.
Regarding Qianbei Genji, Cheng Qianfan gained a rather complicated and even contradictory evaluation impression of this person through these incidents and other aspects:
This person is very smart and cunning, and can be called insidious. He is a highly dangerous person, so you must be extra careful and vigilant.
However, Chikitaharaji is also extremely superstitious about tricks. He is even too obsessed with carefully crafting so-called strategies, which makes the plans he makes too complicated and elaborate——
Such a detailed plan may seem very beautiful, like a work of art. However, if the link-by-link plan is too detailed, once there is an accident in one link, the success will fall short.
Or, this kind of thinking that he has everything under control and that everyone, including his opponents, will obediently act according to the script he designed. This is impossible and can be described as flashy.
In this way, in Cheng Qianfan's mind, Qianbei Yuanji has such a contradictory evaluation.
‘Don’t underestimate the enemy’s carelessness.’ Cheng Qianfan said to himself in his heart.
It is indeed very troublesome to be targeted by a smart person like Chikitaharaji, because smart people can make connections and are better at discovering details that others have not noticed or have not noticed.
…
Cheng Qianfan informed the comrades present at the meeting that the Kuomintang was launching anti-Red actions.
His expression is serious.
His heart was heavy.
Cheng Qianfan feels that he now has a tendency of split personality.
Just now, when Zhang Ping was massaging his head, his thoughts were unfolding as Kentaro Miyazaki, who was suspected by Chikitaharaji. His focus was on Chikitaharaji, and he never even thought about his role in
What Imamura Hyōtaro saw about Yan Baichuan's troops attacking the red armed forces and killing the red party members, so his expression was one of contemplation, calm contemplation.
But now, his thoughts are completely emanating from the identity of Cheng Qianfan, secretary of the special party branch of the French Concession of the Red Party. He is immersed in the great anger and sadness that the comrades of the Red Party were killed and attacked by the Kuomintang reactionaries.
"Comrade Harmonica, please call Comrade Farmer immediately to alert the Red Central Committee." Cheng Qianfan handed Zhang Ping a secret message he had just written.
"Okay." Zhang Ping took the telegram and immediately hurried to generate electricity.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Shuli Zhao and Lu Dazhang, and said with a serious expression, "Comrades, I have a very bad feeling."
He said in a deep voice, "A wave of reactionary climax against red may be coming, or has even come, but we are not aware of it yet."
"This is not surprising." Lu Dazhang nodded and said with a serious expression, "The second cooperation between the National Red Army and the Red Army was originally achieved under the special situation after the Xi'an Incident. The Chairman of the Standing Committee insisted on adhering to the principle of 'resisting foreigners must
Make peace with yourself first'."
He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Our party insists on establishing the anti-Japanese national united front and has won the broadest support from people of all walks of life in China. The eyes of the people are sharp, and people increasingly recognize our party."
and support, which brought about the continuous development and growth of our party in the anti-Japanese struggle. This not only made the Japanese and Japanese realize our strength, but also obviously made the reactionaries of the Kuomintang feel uneasy."
Lu Dazhang's expression was serious and serious, "So, I'm not too surprised that the Kuomintang reactionaries might take action."
"Comrade Feiyu is right. This is exactly the truth." Cheng Qianfan nodded, holding a pencil in his hand and turning it between his fingers. "The problem now is that the Japanese have also realized this."
a little."
He looked at Shuli Zhao and Lu Dazhang and continued, "We can use an analogy. The actions of Yan Baichuan's command are more like a test, not only to test our reaction, but also to test how the Japanese will react.
And now, Japan has keenly caught this change, and they are going to respond."
"It is possible that the Japanese and Chongqing will unite to deal with us." Cheng Qianfan said.
"It's not possible, it's certain." Shuli Zhao said firmly.
Previously, Zheng Weilong of the Secret Service was arrested by the patrol bureau and was jointly interrogated by the Japanese and the patrol bureau. In order to preserve the secrets of the Secret Service, this person did not hesitate to betray the Zhonghua Baodao Headquarters to the Japanese. This incident made Cardinal Zhao very
Angry and very clear about the true face of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
"In the concession, the information I got from Hyōtaro Imamura, or to be more precise, is my judgment." Cheng Qianfan said to Lu Dazhang, "The Japanese may launch a large-scale manhunt against our party.
."
"Only for us?" Lu Dazhang immediately keenly grasped the meaning of Comrade Huo Miao's words.
"That should be the case." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "They should be trying to create an impression on Chongqing."
"Only deal with the impression of the Red Party." Cardinal Zhao said.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said to Lu Dazhang, "The French Concession, especially the Xiafei District, may be the focus of Japanese planning. You should pay attention to the old road."
"I understand." Lu Dazhang nodded.
Cheng Qianfan communicated with Lu Dazhang on the specific arrangements, and then Comrade Feiyu left first.
…
"Old Zhao." Cheng Qianfan looked at Governor Zhao, "After you leave for a while, go to see Comrade Yi Jun immediately and inform the comrades of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee and the Central China Bureau of the latest situation and the possible bad situation we may face."
Yi Jun is not only an important leading comrade of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, but also the deputy director of the Enemy Intelligence Department of the Central China Bureau. This matter is of great importance. Feedback to the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Central China Bureau through the Yanzhou headquarters will take time.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan decided to directly arrange for Cardinal Zhao to report the situation to Comrade Yi Jun.
Cheng Qianfan admired Comrade "Farmer" even more at this moment.
Uncle Li had previously called and instructed Comrade Abacus to secretly contact Comrade Yi Jun on behalf of the French Concession Special Party Branch under the codename Cicada. This in itself was an establishment of relations between Cheng Qianfan's Party branch, the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Central China Bureau.
An emergency contact channel has been established.
And this emergency contact channel reflects its important role at critical moments at this moment.
Obviously, Comrade Xiangwu and Farmer are also keenly aware of the need for this link.
"Okay." Shuli Zhao nodded, "I'll be there in a minute."
Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said, "Comrade Yi Jun, please report the situation you reported to the headquarters immediately."
"I understand." Cardinal Zhao said.
He understood what Comrade Huo Miao meant. This was the best protection for the French Concession Special Party Branch, a secret weapon fighting in the heart of the enemy!
This is also what Comrade "Farmer" specially instructed. One intelligence and two telegrams should be sprouted independently and protected separately.
Cardinal Zhao quickly said goodbye and left.
Here, Zhang Ping also returned after sending the telegram.
Cheng Qianfan was not at ease. He went to Zhang Ping's bedroom in person and saw Zhang Ping burning the telegram manuscript to ashes and mashing the ashes. He nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Ping smiled. She would not be angry, nor would she think it was because Comrade Huo Miao didn't trust her.
On the contrary, she understood Cheng Qianfan very well and felt sorry for the young branch secretary.
Cheng Qianfan wore so many masks on his face, and he was dealing with many insidious and cunning enemy forces. He was surrounded by enemies, and his spirit was always in a state of high tension. No matter how cautious he was, he couldn't be too cautious.
"Is Lao Huang okay?" Zhang Ping asked.
Lao Huang did not come to the party branch meeting, which made Zhang Ping a little worried and couldn't help but ask.
"He's temporarily in trouble." Cheng Qianfan said, "Don't worry, Lao Huang is safe."
He arranged for Haozi to inform Lao Huang that he wanted to eat fish, eat bad braised fish, and that Lao Huang was going out to buy fish, and at the same time, he sent a signal to convene a party branch meeting.
However, Lao Huang could not come to the party branch meeting because without him, he would have to make bad braised fish for Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan knew that this would confuse Hao Zai, but it didn't matter. For the military commander, Lao Huang could only be the image of an old drunkard's patrol room medical officer. An old drunkard who was trusted and favored by him because of his personal relationship could only be
Do what you can, that's all.
…
Dumei Road, at the entrance of a Shikumen residence.
Meng Ketu burped, then his stomach turned, and he threw up while holding on to the wall.
After being drunk and vomiting, I felt much better and my mind was clearer.
He took out the cigarette case, smoked a cigarette and put it into his mouth. He lit a match and took several puffs. However, Meng Ketu choked on the smoke and coughed violently while holding on to the wall.
Then when he raised his head again, it seemed that he was crying because he was choked, and his eyes were actually wet.
With a cigarette in his mouth, he took out the key and opened the door.
Meng Ketu opened the door and entered the house. He pulled the light cord and the incandescent lights in the house came on. He turned around and closed the door, but he saw a person standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.
Meng Ketu was shocked and reached out to touch the short gun at his waist.
"Mr. Meng, please be patient." The man smiled and said, "I don't mean any harm."
As he said that, he raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions. "If I had any ill intentions, I would have just shot him directly in the back. Could Mr. Meng have dodged it?"
Meng Ketu was unmoved. He still took out the short gun from his waist, turned off the safety, and pointed the gun at the visitor, "Who are you?"
"A Chinese with conscience."
"What do you want from me?"
"Come to ferry Mr. Meng."
Meng Ketu pointed his gun, and the man took two steps forward and entered the house. Then he closed the door and bolted it according to Meng Ketu's instructions, then turned around and raised his hands.
Meng Ketu motioned to the man to raise his hands and sit on the bench, while he sat across the table, the black muzzle of the Mauser gun in his hand still pointed at the man.
"Zhongtong?" Meng Ketu asked. Without waiting for the man to answer, he shook his head and said, "No, those half-experienced people from Zhongtong don't have the courage."
He looked at the other party, his eyes scrutinizing, "Red Party?"
Then his expression turned solemn, "Are you a Red Party member?"
"Mr. Meng, there is no need to guess anymore." The man frowned at first, and then smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was a little unhappy because he was guessed to be a red party member. He continued, "Introduce yourself-"
Under Meng Ketu's attention, the man lowered his hands, then clasped his fists, "Lin Yi from the Shanghai Special Situation Team came here to pay a visit to Brother Meng."
"Shanghai special situation team?" Meng Ketu exclaimed, "Xiao Mian's people?"
He really didn't expect that the visitor turned out to be the mysterious Shanghai special case team, so Meng Ketu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that "Jin Yi" announced his family status.
"My team leader Xiao asked me to say hello to Mr. Meng on his behalf." Lin Yi said, "My team leader said that Brother Meng is a good man who understands righteousness and honor and disgrace."
"That's an irony, right?" Meng Ketu was already frightened and sober. He said with a wry smile. He just looked at the other person, and then suddenly said, "The name 'Jin Yi' is fake."
Lin Yi smiled and said nothing.
"What did Xiao Mian send you to do?" Meng Ketu asked again.
"I said I wanted to take Brother Meng a ride." Lin Yi said in a sincere tone.
"Speak humanly." Meng Ketu frowned and said impatiently.
