It's simple: Zhan Guoqiang will ask the teacher.

"I want him to stay in his cell here," he would say, "not out of prison."

"It's not appropriate from the point of view of dealing with the problem," I would reply to him.

"We can maintain good contact with the outside world through liaison officers in Yan'an, so that we can have various ways of talks"

Now it's 12 points away. There is still some time before the bell rings, should we cut off all contact? Don't do all the self-comforting nonsense to yourself, it's stupid and dishonest. Zhan Guoqiang: They are not logical people, like all the people in the stinking puppet government, he is an impulsive person. The devils who desperately get hold of the power are not bound by anything when it comes to deciding what to do, and at the same time there is no oversight of any of their actions, you can neither re-elect them nor remove them according to the needs of the cause, they will be doomed with the state institutions. After the abominable cat had run past, I stopped the car and stayed in the middle of the road for five minutes, and it worked in my favor: only a man with a heart and an honest mind would do that. Because according to Chang Kaishen's opinion, no reconnaissance officer is willing to attract people's eyes and ears. Okay, Li Guangyuan, you really have you, did I come up with the idea of "using cats as an excuse" at the beginning, or did I suddenly think of it now? I can't tell myself, it's a way of self-deprecation. Whether it is Chang Kaishen or Zhan Guoqiang, I should not answer their questions, I should force them to ask questions There is only one way to achieve this goal: "I should go to see Wu Sibao first." What's wrong with handing him the tape of their meeting that the teacher got him? Do you want to be like me? Divide and conquer them. Besides, Wu Sibao can't call the outside world from my home, why should I think like that? If Chang Kaishen had already installed his confidants there, would they let me talk to the outside world from there? ”

He stepped on the gas pedal and, purely unconsciously, looked in the mirror to spot a child running down the sidewalk with a dog on his head. He tucked his head between his arms and ran in fear, as if waiting for someone to attack; His cheeks were shriveled and wrinkled like the face of an old man on the verge of death, and his ears had become disproportionately large, and his lobes drooped and grayish, sallow.

Li Guangyuan slowly shifted gears, braked slightly, smiled approvingly at the child, and then turned and drove towards the city center. There are also several telephones available in the vicinity of the station. In a tavern on the high street, it is definitely possible to call outside. There was no benefit in making phone calls elsewhere, where any conversation was recorded by the district secret police, and the others were always on guard. According to a law promulgated on June 7, 1934, the owners of every hotel, inn, bar, café and dance hall are obliged to cooperate with the authorities and to report any suspicious guests to the authorities. If the guest who goes there is neither shaved nor sloppy in his clothes, or, on the contrary, dressed too elaborately, especially in a foreign style, if the guest weeps or laughs obligently, in short, if he is slightly different from the general crowd, he should immediately report it to the secret police. Since the administration of restaurants, cafes and inns was strictly enforced, because they were people who should be disciplined, and the workers' leaders and striking students who had been expelled from the rental industry after the outbreak of war also patronized public places, it was only natural that the decree of total surveillance fell on the leaders who moved to call "the pillars of the state", who were imprisoned in the huge concentration camps of the so-called "Great National Government", Wishful thinking propaganda agencies are constantly repeating that "every citizen has all the freedoms and equal rights ......."

After stopping for a while, Li Guangyuan circled around his dusty "Horikh" car, thinking to himself that he should wash the car immediately, otherwise the police would have to report it to the authorities.

Li Guangyuan threw two coins into the telephone, and he secretly thought that if he called Wu Sibao first, he would immediately offend Chang Kaishen. He once said to me, "You see, I had no trouble getting you back again, and it only took ten minutes to get everything done." "Look at that smugness. I can't help but be wary of him. In my current situation, he is the "number one" person. I should have called his secretary first and asked him to report that I had returned, and that I should make an appointment for a meeting, because I had a very important newspaper to report in person, and then I could call Wu Sibao. Well, Li Guangyuan, you made a very important correction in time. It is often said that the sum of the sum of the addition is unchanged. Don't be delusional, things will change, but anyway, I've finally gotten rid of the pesky question that has been giving me a headache since the young man in the bar gave me the order to return to Nanking. Yes, of course Luo, this is not an order, apparently a request. I didn't dare to ask myself, "Why am I coming back?" "Maybe it's because even though I'm reading our newspaper in Yan'an, I still can't understand why the people in my family know so much more about what's going on inside than I sit here. Why? What's going on?

Just like the last time Wu Sibao met him, it was still in his car near the Natural History Museum, and Li Guangyuan more or less understood why his return was beneficial to Yan'an.

Yes, that's why I really doubt you.

"Hello, Li Guangyuan, I am very happy to see you, please take a seat." Chang Kaishen said, because he squeezed his eyebrows from time to time, his left cheek twitched, "Do you want to drink a little bit of my Yanghe Daqu?" ”

"Okay"

"Want to taste the real salted duck of northern Jiangsu?"

"That's even better."

Chang Kaishen took out a bottle of sprinkle from the cabinet in the middle of the large bookshelf, a small wooden plate of thinly cut pink saltwater duck and a canned American cow; After placing these on the small table in the lounge, he said, "If you have to smoke, then listen to it." ”

"Thank you......" Li Guangyuan said with a smile.

Chang Kaishen glanced at him quickly, "Why are you laughing?" ”

"I'm laughing at my memory. I once read an interesting quote from a writer's book: "'If it's impossible, but you want to do it, then you might as well do it.'" ”

"Wonderful," Chang Kaishen said, raising his goblet, "for your smooth return, for you to perform your duties brilliantly, and at the same time for your language talent." ”

Li Guangyuan drank a cup and ate two mouthfuls of salted duck, this dish is indeed extraordinary, and he didn't ask, "Why do you say 'language talent'?" ”

"Because I know that we have published books with everyone's names on them. The writer you're talking about is one of them. Only a publishing house in Shanghai has ever published his book."

"Not bad. There is also a bookstore in Hangzhou that has also published his works three times. ”

"Let this so-called literati, I have no objection to finding a communist party among my relatives now, it won't be long before the communist party pours in from the border area, this will work, and then those leading figures will also send their men to be his governor, you still talk about the conversation with Wu Sibao, didn't you take notes?"

"No, I don't plan to do that in the future."

"Why?"

"Because since my first meeting with him, his attitude towards you has completely changed. Did you not go to him until I had told him about your faithfulness? ”

"Did he tell you about it?"

Li Guangyuan shrugged: "Who else can tell me?" ”

"For example, your boss, my friend Zhan Guoqiang?"

"It seems that my superior, your friend Zhan Guoqiang, is going to hand me over to the people's court for trial, because I helped those teachers negotiate with Britain and the United States to betray the country?"

"What do those people represent? Could it be that he still has a backer behind him? Is he related to us? Or what does he have to do with the party? He was a traitor, and he is still a traitor. Zhan Guoqiang knew who to send over there. In any case, Zhan Guoqiang has not asked me to treat you as an "accomplice of the enemy" until now. ”

"He'll let you do it"

"Have you told Wu Sibao about this?"

"Of course I did."

"How did he react?"

He said he needed to think about it. But I think you have discussed this possibility with him beforehand. ”

Chang Kaishen poured wine into the two wine glasses respectively, looked at his own glasses in the light, and shook his head: "Li Guangyuan, why should we get involved in politics?" ”

"What kind of politicians are we? It's just a spy."

"The real statesmen in today's world are precisely spies: they know both sides of things, that is, they know the absolute truth, and the politicians bend around like snakes, always trying to cast the eagle and the word into one plane, which is impossible, you will agree."

"That's why their work is needed in all times, and in the end it's still an illusion, but people tend to be interested in it."

"Wu Sibao did ask me to guarantee your safety, you guessed right, did you sleep well when you were there?"

"It's the same as here."

"But there was no bombing there, it was quiet."

"I've never been concerned about bombing."

"Are you a fatalist?"

"You can say whatever you want," Li Guangyuan sighed.

"That's right, we'll all do it," Chang Kaishen agreed gently but kindly. "Okay, frankly, what did he say?"

He said that it seems that Zhan Guoqiang is still continuing his own career over there, and he is also preparing to make a new performance in the northwest.

"As an expert in sabotaging negotiations, were you instructed to participate in this plot of Zhan Guoqiang?"

"Yes"

"Neither Wu Sibao nor you know what to do?"

"Exactly."

"So the secret policeman Chang Kaishen, should the kind-hearted old man help you?"

"Should be ......"

"How will he accomplish this? What's wrong with him, isn't he extremely smart.2 I don't know how to approach your boss. I've been using my brain for more than a day, but I still can't think of a solution. Li Guangyuan, you should be honest and tell us your opinion, you are both smart and clever when you think of something, so boldly come out with the plate, and I will make corrections."

"Captain, if you don't even know what to do, then no matter how cunning I am, it won't help."

"Li Guangyuan, I don't like twisting and twisting. I don't think you're in a position to be a man, and you're more than enough to be smart for this kind of work. Tell me a little bit more about the activities over there. From the beginning, the analogy used by the British in court trials is not unreasonable, and I will hear from you now. ”

Li Guangyuan understood in his heart; The review is about to begin. "He wanted to hear my opinion on the whole situation, and then re-examine it on the basis of the report of the newspaper and the interpretation of my telephone conversation, as well as the report of the surveillance station. It was time for him to get up and walk to the cabinet with the recording button or something. But he wouldn't have dared to sit across from me and press the button of the tape recorder hidden in his clothes. He is a very expert professional spy, and he often has a good idea of his opponents. ”

However, Chang Kaishen did not stand up from the circle chair, but just pulled the vertical platform on the table to himself, pressed the button again, and said: "I'll record what you said, and then let's listen to it together, if there is anything wrong with it clearly, let's go back and re-analyze." Do you agree? ”

"Of course I agree," said Mr. Li, who had been in this situation many times, and who was now once again amazed at this man and his very unique logic. "In this way, I was given the task of using the teacher to carry out activities, and it seems that Zhan Guoqiang had already thought of him, and once the negotiations with that side failed, or the news of the negotiations reached the ears of the superiors, he would use him to cover me to work with his subordinates. It's still interesting: this is a man of prestige, both independent and fearless, who would rather go to the ground if his people were at peace as soon as possible. He had a wide range of contacts in the pacifist movement, and he was also quite well-known in neutral areas, and he was an old friend of the former minister. According to rumors, since he has named a series of prominent figures involved in the peace talks, he should have made contact with him, because, in the words of his own espionage, he does not have the backing of a real force on his side that can maintain stability and prevent the country from being completely slaughtered in accordance with the agreement. He had received information from his own channels that negotiations had begun with the captain. But that's not all: the most important thing, that is, the original intention of me coming to you, I haven't talked about this matter to Wu Sibao, so please comment on my loyalty. It is estimated that the masterminds of the operation were not only your friends and my superiors, but also a number of very important figures in the General Staff and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"What about the facts?" Chang Kaishen coughed violently and asked.

Li Guangyuan knew in his heart that he was deliberately coughing loudly, because he did not want to leave his voice on the tape, and coughing could make his voice unrecognizable, but Li Guangyuan found that the incident he accidentally said about the officials of the General Staff and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was of interest to Chang Kaishen, so Chang Kaishen asked him to immediately cite the facts. "It's nothing, I can give you the facts, it's not good that I haven't talked to the teacher about my thoughts, I think they'll go to him quietly right away. I should do everything possible to let Chang Kaishen, that is, let Chang Kaishen himself appoint me to go over there. I should have acted in this way during the interrogation, in order to conceal some of the circumstances that Chang Kaishen was anxious to obtain. What is needed now is a fishing hook; Don't rush it, as long as I can lead him away, as long as I can make this tired man think about it. But how can you get him into the wrong? We should know what we want to gain, and we should know what we want to do for our own gain. He is a smart man, but he is nothing more than a hostage of the puppet government. All of them were hostages, manics with muddy hair. A group of cowardly and humble hostages in their hands is really pathetic. Why is this so? As the saying goes, 'Don't make yourself an idol of worship.'" They had thought that this idol would surely make them dominate the whole world and trample all mankind under their feet. Lack of cultural attainment, lack of insight, often only produces such principles, and not all people are willing to learn, but they sometimes force children to read history and pick out foreign languages. The nationalist doctrine is propagated by slackers and people who are most fond of sports games, radio and amusement festivals, and a glass of liquor in the evening after work. ”

"These facts are so bizarre," Mr. Li said. "Although the other party is far from revealing everything to me, he still wants to keep a lot of things for trading. Even so, his logical structure is impeccable. The gist of it is this: why was at the end of last year his own removed from the post of chief of staff of the chief of staff of the chief of the personal staff of the commander-in-chief? Could this be a downfall and a demotion, isn't it? ”

Li Guangyuan glanced at Chang Kaishen with his eyes, waiting for his answer; But he was silent. Chang Kaishen clearly imagined the slow and rustling of the tape, and asked mockingly: "Squad leader, don't you want your voice and mine to be recorded on one tape?" ”

Chang Kaishen nodded silently.

"Okay, I see. The word 'squad leader' that I just mentioned can be easily cut out, and the American tape seems to bond well, and there is no tape breakage when listening to the recording. I went on to say that the so-called 'demotion' was the first step planned in this building in Nanjing. The second step was to open up the relationship between the General Staff, which had to agree to appoint him deputy commander-in-chief of the group army. The military signed and agreed to do so. It is customary for the record that the arrival of people from there in the interior should be agreed in advance with the Government through diplomatic channels. The correspondence on this subject is preserved in the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They cleverly changed our eye-catching uniform into a green uniform, and shook it into a soldier; Becoming a factional figure in the army, it is common in all times for the generals of the opposing armies to sit down at the negotiating table. Besides, all this happened on the eve of our offensive against the Communists in the northern part of the Soviet Union. It can be seen that it was indeed premeditated, right? In addition, they believe that the Admiral may have provided him with some personal relations that would ensure their safe contact when Zhan Guoqiang arrested them without the presence of private witnesses. If it hadn't been for me, for example, you and I had done the work on the teacher, the negotiation would have been a success. If you ask me to tell the facts, I will tell you the teacher's logical thinking structure. If you're willing to listen, that's the way it is. But it needs to be carefully examined: who exactly drafts the orders about the bad guys at the Defence Command?

Zhan Guoqiang must have done his work through personal connections, and probably through the most trusted newspaper in the military. The closest to that is the village of Dingmo. His work is linked to Zhan Guoqiang's second place. Maybe it's him? ”

Chang Kaishen turned off the tape recorder, approached Li Guangyuan and asked, "Did you mention the name of Dingmo Village over there?" ”

"Nope."

"On what basis do you think Ding Mocun is a close friend of Zhan Guoqiang?"

"There's no evidence, just speculation."

"You're playing tricks, aren't you?"

"I'm as straightforward as a child......"

Chang Kaishen suddenly became frightened, his panic came really suddenly, this has been many times. He found that he had an idea, as if Li Guangyuan knew his thoughts well, and he also secretly mastered all his actions, as if he knew in advance what he was planning to hide from others. In the past, before he learned that Li Guangyuan's secret agencies were probably connected to the Communist Party, I would never have been as frightened as I had just now."

No, he said to himself, "You don't have the right to do that." Li Guangyuan is a trump card in your hand, and you can play this card to capture any card.
