Once the general direction was decided, the rest of the matter would be easy to handle. After the meeting, Ouyang Yun asked Mu Jiandie to stay, and the two of them immediately started a long talk in his office.
What exactly Ouyang Yun and Mu Jiandie talked about is unknown to the outside world, but if someone has been paying attention to Kong Lingyi, they will find such an interesting detail, that is, Kong Lingyi disappeared exactly after this conversation between Ouyang Yun and Mu Jiandie. The day after Kong Lingyi disappeared, the "Chiang Assassination Incident" that shocked the world occurred.
The exact time of Chiang Kai-shek's assassination was March 21, 1946. At about nine o'clock in the morning that day, as if it was a warm-up event for Chiang Kai-shek's assassination, a world-shaking event took place in Chongqing, China. General Chen Cheng, deputy commander-in-chief of the General Headquarters, deputy minister of defense of China, and first deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, held a press conference and publicly resigned from all positions.
Chen Cheng, as the undisputed second most powerful person in China's military and political administration, unexpectedly resigned at a sensitive moment when China was about to fall under siege by Western countries. The inside story was so thought-provoking that once the news was announced, no matter whether it was an ally of China or not, Hostile countries immediately expressed great concern. At the same time, the intelligence agencies of various countries in China were also operating at full capacity, hoping to find useful information...
As an ally, they are worried that a political crisis will break out in China, that China will be hit or even be devastated, which will affect the status of allies and their own interests; as an enemy, they hope to find opportunities to add fuel to the fire, so that this country can The incident can become a historic event that changes the current situation in China.
Chen Cheng's resignation caused such a stir not only because he previously held an important position in the Chinese government, but more importantly because of his influence on the current GMD and the former Central Military Commission.
At ten o'clock, as Chen Cheng's resignation incident caused uproar in the city, in a small building at the intersection of two intersections, Price, Yang Puliang and a middle-aged man named Jin Chenggong were arguing fiercely about something.
Here is an introduction to Jin Chenggong’s background. He was originally an agent of the former military command, but now he plays the dual role of the leader of the Chongqing underground intelligence network of the military command and the spokesperson of Kong Lingyi.
"The eldest lady made a special statement before she left. She will find a way to create an opportunity for us. It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity." It was Jin Chenggong who said this.
"Is the opportunity you are referring to Chen Cheng resigning? What kind of opportunity is this? I think this is Director Chen warning us. Maybe people from the CIA already know about our existence." It was Yang Puliang who said this. Regarding Chen Cheng's resignation incident, he was exactly the opposite of Jin Chenggong. After saying that, he looked at Price, hoping to get his approval, and asked: "Mr. Price, what do you think?"
Chen Cheng suddenly resigned, and he held a press conference, which was unexpected by Prius. In the past six months, although he had not had face-to-face contact with Chen Cheng, he had reached some agreements through Yang Puliang and Jin Chenggong. Things have reached a tacit understanding, and according to the latest instructions given to him by Donovan, Chen Cheng will be the best candidate to replace Ouyang Yun.
This thing is so weird, it looks like a conspiracy no matter how you look at it, he thought in his mind, and asked Yang Puliang: "I remember you just met with General Chen three days ago. Did he have any abnormal reaction at that time?"
Yang Puliang shook his head.
After six months of work, with the help of the U.S. Strategic Intelligence Service, Yang Puliang not only successfully activated the Chongqing underground intelligence network before the general reunification, but also trained several capable subordinates. According to Donovan's instructions, the best The opportunity to assassinate the clouds is on May 5th, the Army Day of the Xuebing Army. If the assassination of the clouds fails, another special agent team jointly controlled by Pu Ruisi and Kong Lingyi will launch an assassination of Chiang Kai-shek, which will trigger a stir in the Chinese political arena. earthquake.
Unable to understand the suspicion of Yang Puliang and Prius, Jin Chenggong said dissatisfied: "I told you, this is the opportunity created for us by the eldest lady, but you just don't believe it. This opportunity must not be missed and never come back again. Mr. Prisc, I'm ugly." Let me just say that, even though we have collected your money, if it is clear that you are going to die, we will refuse to execute it."
Jin Chenggong only listened to Kong Lingyi, who had already proven it with actual actions. After hearing what he said, Prius frowned even more tightly, but had to respond: "Team Leader Jin, please don't worry. , we will not let you die innocently, but General Chen’s sudden resignation has disrupted our plans, and we must treat it carefully."
Yang Puliang glared at Jin Chenggong: "You keep saying it was Kong Lingyi's plan, but she has already run away. How can you make us believe that this is her arrangement? What if this is a trap."
"Trap, I think you are afraid of death, but I'm surprised. You don't need to come forward to carry out the assassination mission. What are you afraid of? Even if our assassination fails, you can run away immediately. Laozi Ge, that is Even death is death for me, okay?"
Jin Chenggong's habit broke out and he began to become unreasonable. Yang Puliang was so angry that his face turned red but he couldn't think of words to question him back. He was turning his attention to Prius, hoping that he would persuade Jin Chenggong. Suddenly, someone came out of the house. A blond American woman held a telegram in her hand and said quickly to Price in English: "Director, urgent telegram from headquarters."
"I just received it at this time." Preuss's expression changed.
"Yes, Director." The blond woman said, handing him the message.
Prius took it and looked at it, and the look on his face suddenly became serious. Then, he handed the message to Yang Puliang and said: "I am sure it is Miss Kong's masterpiece. Miss Kong is really a hero among women. I didn't expect that she would actually come up with such a method." Then he said to Jin Chenggong: "Team Leader Jin, I'm sorry, I was so offended by my words just now." After a pause, he said solemnly: "Just as you said. Let’s do it.”
Jin Chenggong: "The telegram was sent by the eldest lady. Can I know the content?"
"No, the telegram was sent by the General Administration. The content is related to General Chen's resignation. The telegram said that there will be a demonstration this afternoon, and this is our best opportunity to stab the clouds."
"Kong Lingyi ran to New Delhi." Yang Puliang asked Pris after reading the telegram.
Price nodded and said, "Our director is also in New Delhi, and they should be together now."
A quarter of an hour later, Yang Puliang and Jin Chenggong left the small building one after another. After confirming their departure, Price walked into the inner room and received another telegram from the blond woman.
Yes, there were two telegrams sent to him by Donovan, and the first one was just to fool Yang Puliang and Jin Chenggong.
"Jiang Jiang, this is really unexpected." After reading the telegram in his hand, Preuss said softly.
