Chang Kaishen bent down and leaned in front of Li Guangyuan to look carefully. He saw Li Guangyuan's pupils dilated, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, mouth, and sideburns. He whispered, "I'm trying to ease your pain, friend. You're my brotherly rival, understand? I appreciate you, but I can't do anything about it. I'm an expert like you, so please forgive me and start answering. Do you hear me? Hey, answer me? Did you hear that? ”

"Yes," Mr. Li said. He painfully suppressed the desire to answer questions frankly, sincerely, quickly: "I heard you. ”

"That's good. Now you say, yours. What is the name of the boss? Who is he connected to in Yan'an? Since when did you start working for them? Who is your father? Where is he? Who is this person? You're willing to tell me all this, aren't you? ”

"Yes," replied Li Guangyuan, "I do." My dad was very tall, skinny and beautiful. Li Guangyuan controlled himself and began to narrate. In the back of his mind, he understood that he had no right to say nothing.

"Don't worry," he begged himself. Suddenly he understood that the worst thing was yet to come. He can think, though he wants to say it in his heart, and he wants to talk without ceasing, to speak of his joy, for the memory of good things is the highest joy left to man. "You know everything, you know very well, he's waiting for you to give it to him, and you want to tell him everything, but you understand for the time being, you can't do that. It's not that scary. He thought, "Man is more powerful than medicine, and if medicine is more powerful than man, then no one will ever die." ”

"Hey, I'll wait." Chang Kaishen urged him.

"Dad loved me so much because I was his only child. He had a birthmark on his face. On the left there is a beautiful gray hair, with whom I often walk in the countryside. It was a small village outside the city where there was a gate, and when it fell, there was a place where the view could be clearly seen, and Paul Trubetsky himself pointed out this place to my father. ”

"What's Daddy's last name?" Chang Kaishen asked impatiently, and he looked at the doctor suspiciously.

The doctor grabbed one of Li Guangyuan's hands, felt the pulse, then shrugged his shoulders, opened his suitcase, took out the syringe, filled it with black potion, and plunged the needle into Li Guangyuan's neck. He said to Chang Kaishen:

"Now he's going to talk faster. But your question is too soft, and you need to use a stronger tone. ”

"What's Daddy's last name?" Chang Kaishen bent down, and a few flats were about to stick to Li Guangyuan's body, and asked, "Answer, I'll wait." ”

"I have a lot of pain," Mr. Li said, "and I want to sleep." ”

He closed his eyes and said to himself, "Hey, hold on, if you're starting to get anxious." It's a shame. You also know who stands before you. Your head will be split. They've probably overdosed you. To take advantage of this. But how do I use it? He was retorting to himself, "You can't do that because I have to answer all the questions." They're asking me, somebody is interested, and he wants me to tell him about my dad, what's wrong with that? ”

Chang Kaishen lifted Li Guangyuan's chin, tilted his head back, and then shouted, "How long can you wait?" Li Guangyuan. ”

"Look," Li Guangyuan said secretly, "this person is in a hurry, and you have to make him wait, but you know, what about this Muller." He wondered, "Chang Kaishen is interested in getting to know your father, and he also has a father." Li Guangyuan heard a distant voice, and this voice penetrated into the depths of his consciousness. Do you know what Agent 76 is? Of course I do. This is the State Secret Police, headed by Chang Kaishen. What I need is him. His face twitched. You're not acting well, know he's waiting. ”

"Daddy likes me and never reprimands me," the two replied dreamily, "but it's not good for you to yell." ”

Chang Kaishen turned to the doctor and said, "This medicine doesn't work for him, give him something." ”

"That would be a coma, squad leader."

"Then why did you promise me he would speak?"

"May I ask him?"

"Just ask. Be quick, my time is almost up."

The doctor bent down to Li Guangyuan, grabbed Li Guangyuan's ear with his cold thick fingers, twisted it vigorously, and then said:

"Name? Name? What about the name? ”

"My name?" Li Guangyuan is pitying himself. The pain in his ear was insulting, and no one had ever pulled his ear, "I hurt," Mr. Li said. The doctor twisted it again, "It's rude, I'm already an adult, why are you pulling my ear?" ”

"Name?" The doctor shouted.

"He knows," Li Guangyuan nodded at Chang Kaishen, "he knows everything about me." He was so smart, I even felt sorry for him, and he had a lot of bitterness in his heart. ”

Chang Kaishen nervously lit a cigarette, his fingers trembled slightly, he turned to the orderly and said, "Follow me." ”

The next room was empty, with sofas, bookcases, and shelves stacked with glassware. There were plenty of bottles of wine and even sprinkles of grapes from Portugal. The wine didn't last long, maybe it was given by a diplomat in Lisbon, but everyone had already left, so how did this bottle come here?

"Well," Chang said, "everything is not going badly. I hope you understand how I hate calling his mom and dad. What is the name of the beloved woman. ”

"But what is all this for?" The orderly asked curiously.

"I need to do it in a different sense entirely. Doctors, injections, interrogations are all in the game that goes on. I will be grateful to you if you can carry the game to the end, and your children and grandchildren will remember you in the best words, what is more precious to you, a medal or twenty-five thousand fiat? Let's be honest, look me in the eye. ”

"Captain, I just don't know what to say."

"Bodhisattva forbid, you don't ask for any medals, which shows that you are a wise person. "All right," he said, pulling out a thick stack of dollars from his pocket, "it's $10,000, and the rest of the $15,000 can be obtained at the secret spot on Main Street, in Unit 2 of Building 7, when you come to tell me that the operation is over." The essence of this operation is you, there are two people who know about this operation: you and I don't, and there is a third person who guessed that he is Minister Wu Sibao. That is, I told you about the super secrets of the state. If you divulge this secret, all your relatives will be put to death. I know how much you love your daughter, so I chose you to complete my operation. You can also ask the doctor to ask for half an hour, don't hinder him, let him do it, but you can't stimulate Li Guangyuan anymore. After Li Guangyuan lost consciousness, he was brought here, put him on the sofa, put his hands in handcuffs, and tied his legs with wire. Let him sleep, and settle the two in the next room. He had to dictate to Mademoiselle the material I had given him without stopping and quickly. It was top-secret material that included a series of documents related to the approach to the new government. You have to pay attention to the time when you take Li Guangyuan to the toilet, you have to make him listen to you, four times a day. The captain nervously read the materials of the military commander too loudly to make Li Guangyuan notice which room he was in. Do you understand? The doctor will come here again, surely tomorrow, but it all depends on how firmly we hold back the Red Army. Let him ask Li Guangyuan's name, password, and so on. I've listed some questions for you. Pretend to be angry and urge him. You can do it, but to make him walk, pay attention to his legs, hands, kidneys, and lungs. What I hand over to you is someone who is completely at the mercy of you. You let him get better and better, but watch out for his eyes, God forbid, if he is blind or too swollen to see, I will radio you of the enemy's advance. When I say that they are not far away, you have to pretend to be panicked, pretend to be on the phone, ask for instructions on what to do with Li Guangyuan, you have to talk to the hypothetical interlocutor tank is only a kilometer away from here, ask for permission to execute Li Guangyuan, or ask for a team to be sent to escort him to a safe place and then my man will come to you, and he will say the code: 'I bring a doctor's letter, please sign it' and he will hand you a suitcase with a mine with a radio device in it. You take your suitcase to your wife's room, and you sit down at the table and write to them: 'In five minutes you must leave here quietly and go downstairs to the reserve quarters.' Write the same note. Don't make too much noise at the door, but go out lightly. My men will signal the mine's radio device that the room will explode, but before the explosion you can take off Li Guangyuan's handcuffs and lock him in the toilet. Do you understand? He had to stay in the toilet. The explosion will not hurt him, it can only make him faint Before taking Li Guangyuan to the toilet in the morning, you have to check that the door of the captain's room is not closed, so that Li Guangyuan can see the open safe, the small box containing the documents, and the typewriter Let him hear the content of the dictated documents Understand the ultimate purpose of the mission? ”

"I don't understand, squad leader."

"You'll understand gradually. When you come to me on the street, I will tell you the hidden nature of this task. Can you move your family out of Berlin in a hurry? ”

"No, Squad Leader"

"Then say goodbye to them on the phone, and I will immediately order them to be evacuated to other areas."

"Thank you, Captain."

"Forget it, friend. Is this kind of ordinary comrade-like mutual care worthy of thanks? ”

By the time he appeared in the chamber, his subordinates had already finished reporting. The radio of the Ministry of Propaganda intercepted the message: the Americans had reached Dolga and seized the Elbe region, so that they occupied a large area of land that was supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Russians according to the agreement.

Wang Wei did not even hear the news of the meeting of the two group armies. He lived exactly according to his own concept, the stereotyped formula he conceived.

"This is a new example for you, proving that victory is on our side: this is the beginning of the Russians' battle with England and America, gentlemen, if I agree to peace today, and tomorrow the enemy's alliance breaks down, then the people will count me guilty, and. Are they right to do so, don't you see a real possibility? Will the Bolsheviks and the Anglo-Americans begin a fierce fight tomorrow, today, an hour later, here, on our land? ”

The new leaders of the "Youth League" were invited to the meeting. He set up a headquarters in the Huangjiang area and stayed at the field headquarters on Main Street to defend the area near the Prime Minister's Office. He took a step forward, a light of fascination flashed in his eyes, and said: "My teacher, the valiant youth of the capital will always be loyal to you, and not a single enemy will storm the chancellery. We fight to the death until the enemy fights each other. If you decide to move the base camp to the fortress, I guarantee that our lads will be able to guarantee a breakthrough, they are ready to sacrifice their lives to protect you. ”

Wang Wei smiled at him warmly, and then looked at Wu Sibao worriedly. Wu Sibao said expressionlessly: "The teacher does not doubt the loyalty of the 'Youth League', but. But let these children live, don't die, their obligation to the nation is; Emerge alive to win. ”

Wang Wei sighed and nodded.

At the next meeting, the exhausted Meth Pin, listlessly reported on the situation in the entire fortified area of the capital, and he enumerated, in a monotonous tone, the names of the streets on which the battles were fought and the numbers of the buildings that were particularly stubbornly defended.

"I hope, my teacher," he said at last, "that you will listen to the commander of the city defense of Nanking, and I do not think that I have the right to refuse him." ”

Commander Wei Delin coughed nervously twice, he didn't look at Wu Sibao and Mei Sipin, his eyes seemed to be on Wang Wei's face, he said:

"Teacher, the battle of Nanking has ended, and the fate of the capital has been decided. It is my duty to keep you out of the encirclement unscathed, and to ensure that you continue to lead the national struggle against the enemy in Alei. It is unrealistic to hope that the general's troops will be brought back. ”

Wang Weiwei's dim gaze only showed an indifferent expression.

"The Battle of Nanjing will serve as a turning point in the struggle and as a miracle in the annals of civilization." He whispered, "That's all, General, thank you. ”

Late at night, Wu Sibao invited Wang Wei's new doctor to his residence for a drink. He spread his hands on his knees and asked, "Excuse me, do you believe that we can win the battle of Nanjing?" Don't be afraid to tell the truth, I'm waiting for the truth. ”

"Minister," replied the doctor, "for many years you have been taught to tell the so-called truth, even if it is the truest lie. It is impossible to change yourself in a day. ”

"I think you are the superior person in our circle, and in this circle we tell each other the truth."

The doctor shook his head:

"You know very well that what we say to each other is only the truth that Wang is not satisfied with, and the truth is only suitable for one entity, the real reality. We are all liars, minister, no, I don't believe that Nanking will be able to keep. ”

"I don't believe it either," Wu Sibao said weakly, "and I am most concerned about the fate of the unfortunate people of Nanjing. Only one person can really help them. That person is you. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean," Wu Sibao said, covering his eyes with his palms, "only you know what kind of injections you give to your teacher to influence his will and thinking from others, including me." ”

"I swore to the Bodhisattva, Minister."

Wu Sibao no longer rubbed his eyes, he sighed: "He will empower you, and now no one wants you to lie." But you're lying, who are you going to blame? It's not Wang Wei, it's not me, and now neither he nor I are forcing you to lie. The teacher should be made receptive to counsel, so that he will fulfill your duty to the unfortunate countrymen. ”

The conversation was difficult, but the doctor finally agreed to add sedatives to the injections. Wu Sibao didn't get an inch. That's enough. ’

He felt uncomfortable in the bunker, the walls oppressive, and the silence made for chance. He seemed to feel that he was destined to die. Let's pick up the book

He went to his assistant on the way, and instructed that in two days a detachment should be prepared to go south and up the mountain. He came to the hall and sat down at the long table. There was a cutlery in front of everyone, two bottles of wine had already been opened, he had stomach problems and drank very little, and today he almost drank a bottle, apparently he wanted to get drunk, but he didn't reach it.

Wu Sibao sat down next to him, and the waiter brought him cutlery and a bottle of wine. Everyone here knows Wu Sibao's tastes. After silently drinking a glass of wine, Wu Sibao wished the generals a good appetite.

The Lijiang Bureau said indignantly: "You are too polite. ”

"What makes you feel bad?" Wu Sibao asked politely.

"Oh, there are so many things that make me unpleasant, Mr. Wu Sibao? Everything has made me unhappy, and it is more accurate to say so, especially since I have been in a bad mood since I sat in the command and tried to bring the army close to the party, and my friends have called me a rebel of the officer class, but I believe, sincerely believe, that my efforts are in the best interests of the country. Now I see that my efforts are not only in vain, but also how stupid and naïve I am. ”

His colleague put his palm on his, but he broke free in anger.

"Leave me, Wang." He cried out, "I cannot help but say something that has been painful for him for a long time in his life, even if it is only once, and it will be too late for another day, but I feel pain, alas, how painful I am." Our young officers go to war, fully convinced that the cause will be won, but what is the reality? Hundreds of thousands of people died. And for what? For the Motherland? For the future? For the greatness of the country? No, empty words, they died on the battlefield for you, Mr. Wu Sibao, so that you could live a luxurious life like a nobleman, even Qin Shi Huang did not have such luxury, and even the feudal lords were jealous of the aristocratic faction, so that you disregarded the interests of the nation, millions of people, for you, the leader of the party, died on the battlefield, but you stuffed gold into your own pockets, and you built many villas for yourself, which were stuffed with stolen paintings and sculptures. You have parasitized the misery of your people, you have destroyed the culture of your country, you have torn our people apart, you have rusted them inside, and there is only one morality for you: to live better than all men, to control all people, to oppress and intimidate all of them, and that you have committed crimes against your nation cannot be compensated for by anything, and the minister will never be able to make amends. ”

Wu Sibao showed a strange smile and raised his wine glass: "Your speech is very representative, even if one of my friends wants to get rich faster. You can't blame me either. ”

"And what about your manor in Lushan?" He went on to say, "What about the forests and land you bought on the outskirts of Shanghai? What about the castle in Wuhan? Where did all this come from for you? ”

"I really didn't know, the army was watching me, too." After Wu Sibao laughed again and drank all the wine, he stood up from the table and finally said, "I wish you a good rest, friends, the busy days are coming, and all the best." ”

Wu Sibao was not surprised that the two ace pilots flew to Nanjing, which was under siege, and the female pilot miraculously landed the plane on the runway controlled by the "Youth League" detachment and the members of the guards. The doctor's injections had already worked: Wang Wei had become unassertive, discouraged, and even sleepy-eyed when talking to his long-cherished lover. Despite the smile on his face. His expression seemed to have been drawn by a brilliant masquerade.

Wu Sibao brought the topic to political testaments three times, but Wang Wei didn't seem to understand what he meant or took his words as a deaf ear. Before the start of Wang Wei's wedding with his lover instructed by Wu Sibao and arranged by Mei Sipin, Wang Wei silently stuffed Wu Sibao with a stack of papers: "If you have any opinions, you can suggest revisions." ”

Wu Sibao apologized, and after receiving permission, he sat down to study the "political testament of the national leader."

"Teacher," Wu Sibao said, picking up his teary eyes, "this document will live on forever." However, there is no list of the new Cabinet in it, and I think it is necessary to list here those whom you have placed in your infinite trust, so that such a legacy can be an effective weapon for us to continue our great struggle. ”

"But I think it would be wise not to include a new cabinet in the will," Wang replied, "and I think that would diminish the meaning of the ideal." ”

"Oh no, my teacher, quite the opposite." Wu Sibao strongly disagreed, "This will prove that you are still leading the battle in this situation, pragmatism will be the embodiment of the greatness of your soul." ”

"Okay." Wang Wei said weakly to agree, "Please write down the person you think you need and tell Miss. Ask her to transcribe the full text. But I refused to fly with the pilots into the fortress. I've been thinking about it, don't you think I'll ever live? ”

Wu Sibao couldn't lift his eyes, that would expose him: his eyes were full of hatred for this trembling, greedy and timid living corpse.

"Chang Kaishen," Wu Sibao said after inviting the detachment leader to his residence, "you must take action so that Yan'an, or the radio station belonging to Yan'an, will clearly broadcast the news about Zhan Guoqiang's negotiations with that side and the proposal of the national leaders of the guard to open the Western Front today, can you do it?" ”

"I can't." Chang Kaishen replied, "This should have been done a week ago, when they were arguing with Dingmo Village, and now it's starting to be chaotic, Minister." ”

"Where is that Li Guangyuan?"

Chang Kaishen looked up at Wu Sibao, his face that he couldn't guess was expressionless. He hesitantly replied, "He's on my mission." ”

"What task?"

"I'm going to use him to put a big mine over there."

Wu Sibao was taken aback: "You plan to send him to the rear of the enemy?" ”

"Yes." Chang Kaishen replied, "But my mine is paper, but it is more terrible than any Tishit."

"It's better to entrust people to him."

"He can't do anything, don't be obsessed."

"I don't like that kind of answer. He won't please you either. We're getting late. ”

"We are late, Minister," replied Chang Kaishen, "and we should leave immediately." You and he will get nothing here. ”

Wu Sibao may be the first time in his life to answer bluntly and unabashedly: "I will achieve my goal, because I know him, Chang Kaishen." If you do what I tell you to do, then I will succeed. ”

"The Red Army will not negotiate with you, minister."

"You misunderstood. My people analyzed the newspapers over there: they were going to exile all the leaders, except me. Do you understand? I was always in the dark, I took one step at a time, I walked in the dark, and I got to the top. News of the betrayal has been learned. It is also understood that Zhan Guoqiang made suggestions to the Allies. Now Wang Wei also wants to know. The army continued to advance eastward, and there was Nanjing. The agreement on the occupied territories has been broken. Why won't you want me to deal with the West? Tempting, Chang Kaishen, very tempting. ”

Chang Kaishen shook his head and sighed: "I may be able to let one of my radio stations change the public frequency to broadcast, why not?" Broadcast news about Zhan Guoqiang's proposal. It is important to have the radio listeners of our Propaganda Department intercept this message in time. My transmitter doesn't have as much power as yours. ”

"Why did you let Zhan Guoqiang's radio station intercept it? We have the most powerful radio center here. ”

"It's more credible to have the message coming from someone else. Isn't it clear? Chang Kaishen sighed, "The greatest charm of a lie is that it comes from the mouth of others. ”

After reading the news brought by Zhan Guoqiang about Mei Sipin's suggestion from the "Swedish Radio", Wang Weiwei's face turned white, and his lips drooped. He shouted in a shrill voice, "Shameless. He's a filthy traitor, a pig, and I can expect the generals to attack from behind. However, he didn't expect it to be him. Where are the people? Bring him and let him tell me to my face that Zhan Guoqiang's betrayal is Mei Sipin's messenger in the base camp and he has hidden his true feelings from me, this despicable fellow, he married my lover's sister in order to get close to me. Bring him in at once. ”

People found him in a secret location. He was preparing to flee to the north. He was not taken to the Bunker. At the suggestion of Wu Sibao, he was executed in the garden of the Prime Minister's Office.

Half an hour later, Wang ordered the two pilots to fly immediately from Nanjing to Hangzhou, where they found Zhan Guoqiang and executed him summarily without trial or investigation.

After that, Wu Sibao came to the radio communication center and sent a sealed telegram to the general, the content of which openly rebuked the betrayal of the supreme leader of the armed forces. The only real force is the command of the army, which is now isolated, shrouded in fear. Apart from him, no one dared to make peace, and there was no negotiation. The generals already knew that Zhan Guoqiang had been arrested, and now they knew that Wang had not ordered the traitor Mei Sipin to be eliminated. Fear is at work. After the trial of the most powerful, fear deepened, and the generals showed their personal insignificance.

Late at night, Wang listlessly dictated his will. Prior to this, Wu Sibao had already made two records. Finally, after enumerating the names of the new ministers, Wang Wei obediently added the last words that Wu Sibao had taught him.

It has been more than 30 years since I volunteered to defend my country from aggression.

During these thirty years I have been filled with love for my people. It is only this love that drives my actions, my thoughts, and my whole life, that the last thirty years of love for the nation and the work done for the good of the nation have led me to give all my strength like a healthy body.

It seems that someone wanted to start a war in 1939, and this is a lie.

Nationalists or those who serve them provoke wars.

I have done a great deal to limit and monitor armaments, so there are attempts to impose on me the guilt of waging war. Since then, I have been a volunteer on the battlefields of the World War. I don't want a new war, either against Britain or against the United States. The years passed, but through the ruins and monuments of our city, we saw the whole truth about the people who had done this wicked deed; This is the true sentiment of the international community and its lackeys.

Three days before the outbreak of the fighting, I had suggested a peaceful settlement. My plan was handed over to the British ambassador in Nanjing, like an international oversight. My plan was rejected without discussion because the British ruling circles needed war, partly for commercial reasons, and partly because they were influenced by the propaganda of the international bloc.

The tragic plight of the people, who have endured this war in the interests of financial capital, is entirely responsible for the enemy. I have done everything I can to save millions of children from starving, millions of men from dying on the battlefield, and hundreds of thousands of women, like babies, from indecent assault and bombing.

Despite all the setbacks suffered during these six years, it will one day go down in history as the most heroic expression of a nation's struggle for survival.

Now, six years later, I can't abandon the nation's capital

Since our army was too cowardly in countering the enemy's attack, and since the county entrusted the organization of the rebellion by those who lacked the proper character, I was determined to live and die with the millions of people who remained in this city.

I will not fall into the hands of the enemy. They just need a good show directed by the enemy to please their hysterical masses.

At a time when I think the presidency and prime minister are no longer viable, I will die for my country. Seeing the incomparable merits and achievements of our peasants and workers, and seeing the younger generation who are completely faithful to me, I will pass away with a smile on my face. I infinitely intimidate them to follow the great ideas and continue their struggle. Death on the battlefield will in the future lead to a glorious rebirth of the idea of National Socialism on the basis of our national unity.

Many men and women have decided to associate their lives with me. I may provoke them to this, but I command them not to share my fate, but to go and continue the fight. I ordered the Army and Air Force Commanders to strengthen the spirit of National Socialism in their troops, explaining to the soldiers that I and the founders of the movement would rather rather surrender.

Before my death, I expelled the former Marshal Mespine from the Party and stripped him of all the powers decided upon him on June 20, 1941 and September 1, 1939. I appoint the Marshal of the Navy as President of the State and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Before I died, I expelled Zhan Guoqiang, the national leader of the Guard and Minister of the Interior, from the party and removed him from all his posts. I appointed General Feng as the National Leader of the Guard, and Huang Weilong as Minister of the Interior.

Zhan Guoqiang and Mei Sipin not only treated me with disloyalty, but also hid from me, negotiated with the enemy against my will, and tried to illegally seize control of the country.

In order to give the country a new government of the best men, I, as head of the nation, name the new cabinet members:

……

As one name after another was announced. Wang Wei rustled under his feet, and he walked up to everyone who had been invited to the conference hall by Wu Sibao, smiling sadly and looking into their eyes. He shook hands with everyone and repeated the same words: "I thank you for your trust, thank you, goodbye." ”

Then he circled around the table where some poison bottles were placed. He smiled as he had done before and handed out the vials to the female secretaries.

Then he looked around and walked with difficulty to the door. This door will bring him peace. He stopped in the doorway, glanced at everyone with a cloudy gaze, shrugged his shoulders sadly, and slowly left the chamber with a crooked turn.
