Chapter 36: Showdown (2)

At this moment, Zhang Jianghe could hardly believe his eyes, these photos were taken very clearly, especially the face on the first photo, Zhang Jianghe still remembers it vividly, he came to Shanghai on the first day, he saw this face from the enemy intelligence file at Shanghai Station. In the next few photos, the rank mark on the corpse's uniform made Zhang Jianghe's eyes faintly red, and he had never been able to kill so many Japanese officers at one time.

Tang Cheng, who was standing in front of Zhang Jianghe, didn't say anything to disturb the latter, he just stood silently, and then silently looked at Zhang Jianghe, who had been looking down at the photo. After about a cigarette, Zhang Jianghe could be regarded as having read all the photos, but before he could ask Tang Cheng, the latter immediately told him another news. "Nanjing already knows about this matter, and the captain Wang in the hospital used money to buy the opportunity to invite merit to Nanjing, but your director knows that I did it."

"No why? I just don't want to be so famous, I can kill the Japanese to avenge you, and I have the money to get it, which is in line with my style. When asked by Zhang Jianghe why he did this, Tang Cheng gave such an answer, which made Zhang Jianghe's eyes widen again.

"Uncle Zhang, who are we? It's just a duckweed without roots, an obscure little person. What a good thing it is to be able to kill someone, not be targeted by the Japanese, and be able to take the money! If you think about it carefully, in this matter, the most advantageous person may be me, but I am really the one who has fallen into the favor. Zhang Jianghe didn't understand what Tang Cheng meant by selling his credit to others, but he understood Tang Cheng's words at the moment.

"What's so good about being famous! My mother didn't want me to enter the intelligence department like my father, so that credit was a burden and trouble for me. It's great to be able to exchange Japanese heads for money now, and I wish I could come more often. Tang Cheng ignored Zhang Jianghe, who was glaring at him, but instead showed a complacent face, and Zhang Jianghe, who was watching, finally couldn't help but scold.

Seeing Tang Cheng dodge to avoid the lighter he threw out, Zhang Jianghe, who was angry, immediately reached out and grabbed the ashtray on the table, perhaps because he felt that the ashtray seemed to be too heavy, in case he smashed Tang Cheng into a bad one, Zhang Jianghe had to put down the ashtray that he had already grabbed in his hand with a gloomy face, and instead grabbed a chess piece in the chessboard and smashed it at Tang Cheng. Seeing that Zhang Jianghe was reluctant to hit himself with an ashtray, Tang Cheng knew that Zhang Jianghe was not really angry, so he stood in place and reached out to catch the chess piece that Zhang Jianghe threw at him.

"Uncle, you said that you are so old, why are you still so angry!" Tang Cheng came to Zhang Jianghe's side with a smile, first put the chess pieces in his hand back into place, and then helped Zhang Jianghe pour a cup of tea. "I'm right! My main task now is to take care of my family. I also understand what you think, I'm not helping you to catch Japanese spies all the time, this can be regarded as a contribution to the country, right? ”

"You didn't even think about actually joining the Intelligence Service?" Zhang Jianghe, who had calmed down, squinted at Tang Cheng, "You yourself just said that it is better to rely on others than on yourself, if the forces of Brother Pao in Chongqing are really like you said, you might as well join the intelligence department directly to be more reliable." ”

Zhang Jianghe's words made Tang Cheng stunned for a moment, and after glancing at Zhang Jianghe's expression at the moment, Tang Cheng couldn't tell whether Zhang Jianghe really wanted to pull himself into the intelligence department, preparing to develop himself into his downline in the future, or a joke to test himself. Although he didn't know why Zhang Jianghe, who was born in Huangpu, lurked in the intelligence department as a lone son, Tang Cheng knew that the new China in the future would be built by a large number of people like Zhang Jianghe who were willing to sacrifice everything.

It's just that Tang Cheng in this life doesn't have the kind of idea of being able to give up everything in his heart, not to mention that Tang Cheng himself has been doing things that are beneficial to the country and the nation. The thought in his mind flashed, and Tang Cheng still looked at Zhang Jianghe happily, "That's not necessary, as long as Uncle Zhang and you are still in the intelligence department, I don't have to worry, because you are my backer." That's why I promised you before, as long as you go to Chongqing, I promise to help you catch the Japanese spies more carefully. ”

Tang Cheng's explanation was very direct and realistic, but Zhang Jianghe couldn't accept it for a while, he couldn't accept that he was only separated from Tang Cheng for more than 3 months, and the young man in front of him had become such a philistine. "Uncle Zhang, if you feel that you still can't make a decision now, it doesn't matter, we still have time, as long as you give me a letter of approval before we leave Shanghai." Tang Cheng, who knew Zhang Jianghe well, knew that he couldn't force the other party too much at this time, so his attitude eased and finally gave Zhang Jianghe time to think.

Although the topic just now is no longer mentioned, Zhang Jianghe did not end this conversation with Tang Cheng, "What are you busy with these days, when you go out early and return late these days?" "Since living in this bungalow, Zhang Jianghe and Tang Cheng have basically spent time at night, this problem has actually been bothering Zhang Jianghe for several days, and it is just right to divert the topic just now.

Zhang Jianghe's question made Tang Cheng frown, he couldn't tell Zhang Jianghe the truth about his whereabouts these days, but he didn't dare to make up lies to prevaricate the other party temporarily. "Uncle Zhang, don't ask so much, anyway, I didn't go out to do bad things." Tang Cheng refused to answer this question, but Zhang Jianghe felt more and more that Tang Cheng had something to hide from him, and this matter would definitely not be small. Zhang Jianghe's hunch was absolutely correct, but he underestimated Tang Cheng's persistence, no matter how he pressed him, Tang Cheng turned over and over just the sentence.

"Uncle Zhang, don't interrupt, let's think about my previous proposal! I don't think your recovery from your injuries is slow, and I think it's not far off for us to return to Nanjing. "Being anxious by Zhang Jianghe's question, Tang Cheng had to re-engage the topic back to the previous incident, which finally made Zhang Jianghe stop asking questions." Uncle Zhang, you have to think about it, there is a radish and a pit at the Nanjing headquarters, you have been away for more than three months, and even if you go back, it is impossible for the intelligence department to arrange any better positions for you. ”

"Instead of staying in Nanjing and being angry and being looked down upon, it is better to go south to Chongqing and start anew, as long as we do a solid job in Chongqing, it is impossible for you to not see it." Tang Cheng, who knew that Zhang Jianghe was hiding his identity, could only find another way to persuade Zhang Jianghe from other aspects at this moment, but looking at Zhang Jianghe's expression, he seemed to be still hesitating.

"Uncle Zhang, don't you think that if you leave the Nanjing headquarters, you will be excluded from the center of the intelligence department, right?" Tang Cheng's eyes rolled, and then he accentuated the tone of his speech. "If you want me to say, you're just worried, your director doesn't look like a stubborn man. At present, the situation is tense, and if there is a war between China and Japan, whoever can help your chief to grow a face in front of the chairman will be his confidant. Uncle Zhang, don't forget, I'm very good at catching Japanese spies!"

How could Zhang Jianghe not know what kind of person the director was, before leaving Nanjing and coming to Shanghai, he was just the captain of the operation himself, but he was summoned by the director alone several times. This time I came to Shanghai, if it weren't for this damn ambush, as long as I returned to Nanjing smoothly, the position of head of the Operations Section would definitely be my own. Tang Cheng's last two sentences reminded Zhang Jianghe that as long as he was still like when he was in Nanjing, he could capture Japanese spies in a row, even if he went to Chongqing, he would still be appreciated by the director, and maybe he would be able to get more confidential information because of this.

Tang Cheng had been paying attention to the changes in Zhang Jianghe's expression, and seeing Zhang Jianghe's tightly knit brows slightly relaxed, Tang Cheng knew that there was a drama this time. "Uncle Zhang, take out some guts, and if you go to Chongqing, then you will be the deputy stationmaster, several levels higher than you are now! Such a good thing, if it was the white captain in Nanjing, I am afraid that he would have been in a hurry to shout the wisdom of the seat. It's just you, you don't know how to take advantage of it, and you're still hesitating here. ”

"Is it really that good over there in Chongqing?" After a while, Zhang Jianghe, who had a pensive face, raised his eyes to look at Tang Cheng. "Sichuan has always been at odds with the central government, and the intelligence department may not be able to gain a firm foothold in Chongqing. Without the cooperation of the locals, even if we go to Chongqing, we may not be able to have the same smooth sailing as in Nanjing. As a former celebrity next to the director, Zhang Jianghe also knew a lot about the foreign sub-stations of the intelligence department when he was at the Nanjing headquarters, and the life of the Chongqing station was actually not very good.

"Uncle Zhang, I don't agree with what you say. The Sichuan army reported to the regiment again, Sichuan is also China's territory, and once a war breaks out between China and Japan, it is certain that the central government will withdraw to the rear of the southwest. The intelligence department is an intelligence agency directly under the central government, and even if it is regarded as an outsider in the southwest, the nature of the intelligence department itself has already determined that it will not be subject to local constraints. What's more, the Intelligence Department is a knife in the hands of the chairman, and if it is aimed at the intelligence department, it is aimed at the chairman, and they dare not. ”

Zhang Jianghe had to agree that Tang Cheng's analysis was not unreasonable, the intelligence department was a privileged unit, and even in Nanjing, which was full of powerful people, the intelligence department was not afraid of anyone's targeting. "Give me one night to think about and I'll give you the answer tomorrow morning." Zhang Jianghe, who was secretly a little tempted, stopped the discussion with Tang Cheng, but before returning to the room, Zhang Jianghe finally gave Tang Cheng an answer.

Tang Cheng sent Zhang Jianghe back to the room to rest, and the moment he walked out of the room, Tang Cheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhang Jianghe agrees to go to Chongqing to take up a post, he and his family will be guaranteed in Chongqing, and now it seems that Zhang Jianghe has obviously been moved by his own words, Zhang Jianghe said that he needs to think about it for a night, and he is obviously thinking about other things.
