Chapter 355: Big Bad (asking for double monthly votes)
Cheng Qianfan made a gesture to signal Sheng Shuyu not to say anything.
Turn around, walk to the door, and open the door.
"Brother Fan." Hao Zai came over.
"Be alert." Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
"Yes!" Hao Zai nodded, feeling nervous. The team leader once again told him to be more vigilant. It must mean something happened, so be extra careful.
Cheng Qianfan returned to the room and saw Sheng Shuyu staring at him.
"You know what I'm capable of. I'm sure no one is following me." Sheng Shuyu said.
"Of course I believe it." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "But for safety's sake, it's better to be careful."
Sheng Shuyu took a deep look at Cheng Qianfan and said nothing. He could understand that Cheng Qianfan only believed in himself in their line of work.
However, understanding is still understanding, but it is always uncomfortable.
"The contact between Chongqing and the first column of the Loyalty and Salvation Army has been interrupted," Sheng Shuyu said.
"The first column?" Cheng Qianfan thought, "Why build a general's headquarters?"
"Exactly." Sheng Shuyu nodded, "The headquarters ordered the Shanghai Railway Station to send someone to contact us, but there was no news from the traffic officer sent out."
"Why is Brother Sheng in Shanghai at this time?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Sheng Shuyu, smiled, and asked seemingly casually.
"Peel." Sheng Shuyu did not answer Cheng Qianfan's question, but said one word.
"What pelican?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Pelican's pelican." Sheng Shuyu looked a little unhappy and glared at Cheng Qianfan, "The director is indeed right, you are a suspicious guy."
"It's the director who knows me." Cheng Qianfan smiled faintly. Pelican's name was the secret message between him and Dai Chunfeng. It was a secret that only he and Dai Chunfeng knew. The fact that Sheng Shuyu could tell this secret was enough to prove that Sheng Shuyu
There is no problem.
This is not to blame for his testing, it is because Sheng Shuyu came too suddenly and strangely.
…
"The bureau chief sent me to Shanghai on business, and it happened to be a meeting." Sheng Shuyu then explained, "I have called the Chongqing bureau chief about this matter, and the bureau chief ordered me to come and see you immediately."
Cheng Qianfan nodded. If he calls Chongqing, he can send a report at any time. There are staff on duty there 24 hours a day. However, if Chongqing takes the initiative to send a message to this side, there will be
Scheduled time.
According to the agreed time, Zhou Ru would not turn on the radio to receive calls from Chongqing until early tomorrow morning. Therefore, when Sheng Shuyu couldn't wait any longer, Dai Chunfeng urgently informed Sheng Shuyu of the code word "Pel" in order to get the letter and ask him to come for an urgent meeting.
"Has the Shanghai Station sent anyone to contact the Ministry again?" Cheng Qianfan asked in a deep voice.
"Sent." Sheng Shuyu nodded, "Wang Tiemu sent his most capable general Lu Xingge and a few brothers to contact Deputy Commander He, but there is still no news."
Brother!
Cheng Qianfan's heart sank, "How many days have Lu Xingge and his party been there?"
"Four days." Sheng Shuyu said, "If there is no unexpected situation, there should be news coming by now. It's a pity that so far, not even a word has been heard."
"Something must have happened." Cheng Qianfan suppressed the worry in his heart and said in a deep voice, "With Lu Xingge's ability, unless he encounters big trouble, he will definitely have news back within four days."
"Brother Cheng seems to be very familiar with this Lu Xingge?" Sheng Shuyu asked tentatively.
"Lu Xingge is my sworn brother." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Sheng Shuyu and said, "His abilities are far better than mine."
Sheng Shuyu nodded, he knew Cheng Qianfan's abilities.
Even though he is as arrogant as he is, he also admires Cheng Qianfan quite a lot. Cheng Qianfan said that Lu Xingge's ability is far better than his. This may mean "self-effacing and praising his brother", but it also shows that this Lu Xingge
Ge has some abilities.
Well, as Cheng Qianfan said, the stronger Lu Xingge's ability is, the more bad the situation is.
…
"I will find a way to find out about the situation in the He Department." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "However, I'm afraid we have to be mentally prepared for the worst."
Sheng Shuyu also nodded with a serious expression.
The first column of the Loyalty and Salvation Army under He Xingjian's headquarters, with tens of thousands of troops, cannot disappear all at once, and there is no news that the Japanese army has recently attacked the Loyalty and Salvation Army on a large scale. Moreover, the scale of He Xingjian's headquarters is
, although it is not impossible that the Japanese army wants to eat it in one bite, it is impossible that the news will not spread.
Therefore, when He Xingjian's headquarters lost contact with the Chongqing headquarters, the most likely reason was that there was an internal problem within the team.
"Brother Cheng, what do you think is the possibility of He Ministry's rebellious behavior?" Sheng Shuyu asked with a solemn expression.
Sheng Shuyu was restless.
If He Xianjian's troops really dare to risk the disapproval of the world and surrender to the enemy, he will be the first senior general of the national army to lead his troops to surrender to the enemy since the Anti-Japanese War.
The most important thing is that the Loyalty and Salvation Army is an armed force belonging only to the military commander. He Xingjian's move will have a profound negative impact on the military commander.
In addition, He Xingjian knew too much about military control of Shanghai. If this person defected to the enemy, it would be another devastating blow to the Shanghai Station, which had experienced Ruan Zhiyuan's surrender and Zheng Weilong's arrest a year ago.
…
"It's hard to say." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
He was thinking quickly in his mind, analyzing the information about He Xingjian.
He Xingjian was born in Huangpu and also had a Green Gang background.
After the Second Battle of Songhu broke out, Dai Chunfeng arrived in Shanghai in person and presided over the establishment of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee Task Force.
Five brigades and a special agent brigade were established by borrowing from the Youth Gang and recruiting from the society.
He Xingjian is the captain of the First Brigade, which is mainly composed of members of the Youth Gang.
When the Rangers were first established, their members covered almost all walks of life in Shanghai at that time.
There are dung diggers, factory workers, rickshaw pullers, and progressive young students. There are also many of them, including the three-handers and thugs who are usually the most annoying, and even the gangsters who cheat and kidnap.
As the saying goes, in extraordinary times, everyone, regardless of high or low, will fight for the national calamity together.
Although the members were complex, the Rangers fought bravely against Japan and refused to retreat to the death. Among them, the fighting will of a special brigade controlled by the Red Party was particularly outstanding.
The Rangers were even deployed as backup to cover the large-scale retreat of the national army, resulting in heavy casualties.
After the Battle of Songhu, the Rangers, which suffered heavy losses, moved to fight behind enemy lines and were officially renamed the "Loyalty and National Salvation Army" in January last year.
This is the first and only large-scale armed force under the direct control of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, so it is highly valued.
Cheng Qianfan had no contact with He Xingjian, but before Song Fuguo came to Shanghai, Cheng Qianfan had a secret meeting with the old officer. From Song Fuguo, Cheng Qianfan learned some inside information.
As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Loyalty and Salvation Army, He Xingjian had a rather tense relationship with the commander-in-chief Yang Hu. Yang Hu even secretly informed Chongqing about He Xingjian's exclusive power.
…
"Brother Sheng, I am deep in the Shanghai front line. I have never had the honor to serve under Commander He, and I don't know much about some situations." Cheng Qianfan thought for a long time, offered Sheng Shuyu a cigarette, and asked, "This Commander He...
…”
"Sir He is very independent," Sheng Shuyu said, squinting his eyes and smiling.
understood.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, with a serious expression, "Brother Sheng, a heavy rain is coming."
Sheng Shuyu had a sullen face and nodded.
Yang Hu's secret report to Dai Chunfeng on He Xingjian's exclusive power was not a false accusation.
In fact, He Xingjian had always been dissatisfied with Dai Bureau's reorganization and reorganization of the Loyalty and Salvation Army. In particular, he had repeatedly had conflicts with personnel sent from Chongqing, and even fought passively and refused to obey orders.
If He Xianjian really rebelled against the country and surrendered to the enemy, it would be a shock and inexplicable, but there are not all clues that can be traced.
In fact, Dai Chunfeng has been trying to 'save' and win over He Xingjian.
As a close and trusted subordinate of Dai Chunfeng, Sheng Shuyu once personally recorded the telegram dictated by Dai Chunfeng and sent it to He Xingjian.
Sheng Shuyu still remembers this telegram:
"Xiang Jianxiongxunjian:
My younger brother came to Shaanxi from Chongqing on the 6th and will stay here for about a week.
I received a call from Chongqing shortly, saying that I am glad to hear that the message has arrived in Shanghai. I am very relieved!
All our work in Shanghai has been severely affected by the Shanghai Incident. The main reason for the pushback is that the three Tao brothers are all to blame for the internal and external affairs.
Therefore, for the future command and rectification of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, I would like to ask my brother to establish a Songhu headquarters in the name of the commander stationed in Shanghai to plan and command.
Brother, please organize a simple and strict headquarters. All personnel should be among the original Shanghai office personnel. Those who can gain a foothold in Shanghai and travel along the Beijing-Shanghai route will be considered.
Those who have been exposed in Shanghai should be transferred to the Tunxi headquarters immediately or be dismissed with pay.
Brother!
The success or failure of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army is the success or failure of our entire cause.
As the founding father of our army, my brother is going to Shanghai this time and has an arduous task. Please use all possible means to encourage the responsible comrades to always stand on the Three People's Principles of saving the country and the people, adhere to the leader's will, resolutely resist the enemy, and love the people.
If there are any personnel sent by the Shanghai office to various detachments who do not know how to care for themselves and do not know the general situation, they should be investigated immediately and dealt with without any scruples or tolerance.
Brother Lingkowt."
"The bureau chief has always had high expectations for Chief He, and he relies heavily on him." Sheng Shuyu sighed and said, "I just hope that Chief He will not make a mistake."
"I need a few suspicious persons." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Okay." Sheng Shuyu nodded.
…
"There are so many people here. I took advantage of the chaos during the day to sneak in. Nothing happened for a short time. If I stay for a long time, something will happen." Sheng Shuyu said, "I will leave secretly in the middle of the night..."
Then he saw Cheng Qianfan's happy expression and couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Can't you just pretend to be reluctant to let go?"
"I feel relieved when you leave, and you feel relieved too." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
Sheng Shuyu pointed at Cheng Qianfan and finally just smiled without saying anything else.
As Cheng Qianfan said, regardless of the importance of Cheng Qianfan's latent identity or his identity as Sheng Shuyu, it is okay for the two to have brief secret contact, but it must not last too long.
Sheng Shuyu was born in the third year of the Republic of China and is about to turn twenty-five; Cheng Qianfan was born in the fourth year of the Republic of China and is about to turn twenty-four.
Both of them have now achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel. They are the leaders among the youngest generation in the Military Command Bureau, and can even be ranked as the top two young men.
If anything happens to either of these two people, it will be a huge loss to the Military Command.
…
The night is already deep.
"Brother Fan, Chief Sheng has left." Haozi came over to report.
Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, his expression calm.
"Brother Fan, do you want someone to keep an eye on me?" Hao Zai asked.
"What are you talking about? That's the bureau's favorite general." Cheng Qianfan was furious and scolded Hao Zi.
"Hao Zai only knows that being loyal to the team leader means being loyal to the bureau and the party and the country." Hao Zai said.
"You kid." Cheng Qianfan pointed at Haozi and shook his head, "This guy is suspicious by nature, that's all, so that his good intentions won't be misunderstood."
"Yes!" Hao Zai nodded, and at the same time, he remembered that he would use the word "protect" in the future.
"If the notice continues, I'm afraid the situation will change drastically. All brothers should be careful in their words and deeds and prepare for contingency." Cheng Qianfan said.
"clear."
…
The next day.
A patrolman reported the discovery of suspicious elements to Lu Hu, deputy inspector of the third patrol. Datou Lu did not dare to neglect and immediately reported to Chief Xiao Cheng.
In the afternoon.
Cheng Qianfan secretly went to the Hongkou District Super High School and reported to Section Chief Sanbenjilang.
"Search, you are very considerate." Cheng Qianfan first thanked Sanbonjiro.
Sesame's Full Moon Wine, Sanbonjiro also sent a congratulatory gift in private.
"Miyazaki-kun." Sanbonjiro said with a smile, "The whole of Shanghai is talking about yesterday's grand event."
"The world doesn't know Cheng Qianfan's true identity. Under such circumstances, Cheng Qianfan can have the power he has today. Everyone in Shanghai regards it as a grand event to befriend Cheng Qianfan. This is precisely because Cheng Qianfan is friendly with the empire." Cheng Qianfan said.
, "The grand events yesterday were the result of the long-lasting light of the empire's military fortunes, and my subordinates have been blessed with the glory of the empire."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan gently placed a beautifully wrapped gift box on the desk.
"Miyazaki-kun, what are you doing?" Sanbonjiro asked in a deep voice.
"Professor, this is a return gift." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"That being the case, it doesn't matter, it's hard to refuse such kindness." Sanbonjiro nodded, put the gift box away, and placed it behind the curtain behind the desk.
Regarding the rumors that 'Mr. Little Cheng' held a grand banquet, the guests gathered, and the gifts received by the Cheng family needed to be stored in a special warehouse. Naturally, Sanbonjiro heard about it, and wanted to give Kentaro Miyazaki a beating to stop him from thinking about it all the time.
When making money, don't always think about family matters. However, if you think about it carefully, Miyazaki-kun has been lurking in Shanghai for a long time for the sake of the empire. He has worked extremely hard. Now that he is happy with Lin'er, it is only natural for him to relax a little.
Araki Harima watched from the side and was filled with emotion in his heart.
Among other things, there is one thing about Kentaro Miyazaki that Araki admires the most. There is no gift that his friend cannot give, and he can always make the other party accept the gift with confidence.
The kind that won’t work if you don’t collect it.
…
"Section Chief, my subordinates are here to report something important." Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Sanbonjiro was in a good mood and motioned for Kentaro Miyazaki to sit down and talk.
Cheng Qianfan not only did not sit down, but stood up straighter and said respectfully, "The patrol room found many strange faces coming and going, and my superiors ordered them to investigate secretly, and indeed they made important discoveries."
"Oh!" After hearing this, Sanbonjiro immediately became interested and asked, "What discovery?"
"These people behave in a military-like manner," Cheng Qianfan said. "After investigation, it was found that some of them were former members of the Qing Gang and later disappeared. It is rumored that they joined Dai Chunfeng's Rangers."
