As a former military agent, Yang Puliang was a bit greedy, but he had a very vicious view of people and things. This was the main reason why he only agreed to provide paid services to Prius but refused to become his downline.
As the largest spy organization in China, although its political status has been completely replaced by the Central Intelligence Agency, the underground intelligence network that the military reunification agents spent several or even more than ten years building still exists, which is precisely because of the This large hidden underground network allowed Dai Li and now Yang Puliang and his like to maintain considerable vitality despite the severe crackdowns by the CIA, and even be able to walk openly in Chongqing and Guangzhou.
In Chongqing, Donovan did only let Preiss go. It was not because the Office of Strategic Services was short of manpower or funds were tight, but because the U.S. Embassy in China refused to provide more "residence certificates" for some reason. Since the secret treaty between the United States and Japan was signed, there has been a lot of opposition in the United States. Among them, the U.S. Embassy in China and some U.S. military officers who are still studying and observing the Chinese army have been particularly fierce in their opposition.
In 1943, in order to promote Sino-US relations, Roosevelt appointed Ouyang Yun's old friend, Leighton Stuart, the former president of Yanjing University in Peking, as the new ambassador to China. Roosevelt's appointment indeed played a role in promoting the relationship between China and the United States for a certain period of time. Because of the deep personal friendship between Leighton Stuart and Ouyang Yun, China and the United States were on the same page on United Nations affairs for a time. At the request of Leighton Stuart, the Chinese government always Will deliberately tilt towards the United States.
It is precisely because of the goodwill of the Chinese government in these matters that the staff of the U.S. Embassy in China generally have a favorable impression of China. At this time, the U.S. government suddenly made a unilateral betrayal of the alliance, which naturally aroused their strong dissatisfaction. For example, Leighton Stuart , once even threatened the White House, saying that if the government did not step back from the cliff on the signing of a treaty between the United States and Japan, he would resign as ambassador to China.
Donovan only let Prius stay in Chongqing, partly because of the restrictions of the "residence permit", but also because of his trust in Prisc's ability. Yang Pu had a sharp eye and was good at recognizing people, and Prisc Why not? Faced with Yang Puliang's public questioning, he did not respond immediately, but just lit up a big knife and sucked it gently.
Thinking that he was trying to avoid the topic, Yang Puliang asked: "Why, I was right."
Preuss smiled and asked, "So what if I go it alone? Or do you think that if you have more people, you have a better chance of winning in this kind of thing?"
He looked calm and relaxed, but Yang Puliang felt at ease. Ignoring the teasing in his tone, Yang Puliang said softly: "Of course the success of this kind of thing has nothing to do with how many people there are, but the problem is Miss Kong." She is not a professional, and as you have seen, her temper is quite stubborn. If she can't show her strength, how can you convince her? If you can't convince her, we won't be able to get close to the old man. So even if we can get rid of Ouyang Yun, there will be no chance of the old man. Support, we may not be able to overthrow the rule of the Xuebing Army. By the way, it seems that I need to help you popularize the relevant knowledge of the Xuebing Army. Although Ouyang Yun has the final say in the Xuebing Army, there are still many people under him. There are many heavyweights, and if these people can be consistent on some things, IMHO, no one in China can compete with them except the old man."
Yang Puliang repeatedly emphasized the importance of the old man out of selfish motives. As Dai Li's capable general, his greatest wish was to be like Dai Li, a master who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. He even believed that Dai Li was superior in terms of status. Although far inferior to Chiang Kai-shek, the former is much happier in life than the latter, "Sir, Chief Dai can sleep wherever he wants. Is it a supreme commander? So I say, you still have to be like Chief Dai..." ..." These words were spoken by Yang Puliang a few years ago when he was discussing life ideals with a "brother". From these words, it is not difficult to see what kind of life Yang Puliang is pursuing.
"Mr. Yang, I heard that your biggest goal in life is to become the next Dai Li." Pris suddenly said.
This was the deepest secret hidden in Yang Puliang's heart. Now that it was suddenly exposed by Prius, he couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows and looked at Prius with his eyes full of vigilance.
Prius saw his reaction in his eyes and sighed in his heart that the information bought with ten thousand US dollars was indeed effective. His face remained calm and calm, and he said: "Mr. Yang, don't be nervous. In my opinion, he is a very healthy person." Pursue, men, who are born to be powerful creatures and are not passionate about power, haha, are they still men?"
For people who like to hide in the darkness and spy on others all year round, having their secrets seen through is like being suddenly exposed to the sun. There is nothing more horrifying for them. Yang Puliang looked at Prius expressionlessly. , wondering in his mind who might have betrayed him to the United States, and reminding himself at the same time: This Prius is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, so be careful when dealing with it.
"Mr. Yang, I have a suggestion. I know you still have a lot of energy in Chongqing, so why not increase your investment? You should know our determination, the determination of the United States, and your strength. I think it will change China." History is not too difficult. Of course, because you have increased your investment, you will naturally get more rewards. Haha, how about half a million dollars plus a new Dai Li? After the achievement is completed, we will not only pay you half a million dollars, And it will also help you become China’s next Dai Li.”
"It seems that I guessed it right, you are the only one."
"Is this important? Even though I am one person, don't forget that the entire United States is standing behind me."
"Ha, you are talking empty words, why should I believe you?"
"No, no, Mr. Yang, you are wrong. You don't need to believe me at all. Oh, sorry, I am certainly worthy of your trust. I mean, as far as I know, if you can change the original By integrating our strengths, you can get what you want, and we are willing to do our best to help you in this matter."
I have to admit that Preuss has a very strong ability to understand people's hearts and his eloquence is also quite good.
After hearing what he said, no matter what Yang Puliang's original plan was, his heart was pounding at this time. Following Preus's words, he couldn't help but think: Yes, if I can reintegrate the previous underground intelligence lines in Chongqing Get up, what a big thing can't be done, if Americans are willing to provide funds, if...
