This is a place carefully arranged by Chang Kaishen, and there is a counter-espionage agency in it. Li Guangyuan knew about this situation from Zhan Guoqiang, and of course Zhan Guoqiang should not talk about it. Because a special general order was issued prohibiting party members and soldiers from going there, some naïve rappers thought that it was safest to talk there, but they did not know that every table was equipped with a spy bugging device.

"Thank you so much," Li Guangyuan replied, "Since you have approved, I will designate that place as the meeting place for me and my people in the future, but if there are still people there who are cornering me, I will still ask you for help."

"Come on. I'm always happy to meet you. ”

Li Guangyuan went back with mixed feelings. Generally speaking, he believes that Chang Kaishen is telling the truth, because Chang Kaishen's words are very frank. Isn't it too frank, though? The sense of proportion is the most important thing in any work, and this is especially true for espionage work. Li Guangyuanci feels that sometimes too much frankness is more dangerous than too much suspicion.

Escalate to superiors.

Top secret material, print a copy.

At 19:42 today, the surveillance target called bus BKH441 and instructed the driver to send him to Lao Cai. At this stop he got off the bus. However, he was never found at any other station.

Chang Kaishen put the report in his old folder, where the most secret and important case files were kept, and continued to study the materials about Li Guangyuan. There is a passage in the material that the surveillance subject likes to spend his spare time at the museum, where he often meets with his agents. Chang Kaishen used a red pencil to draw a red line under this paragraph.

The senior captain of the guard handed a letter to Zhan Guoqiang's personal driver.

"If the enemy hits your plane," he said in a soft voice, "wartime is wartime, anything can happen, and before you untie your landing harness, be sure to destroy this letter."

"I can't destroy this letter until I untie the carrier for landing," replied the driver, who was too serious about the matter, "because the wind will drag me on the ground for a while after I land." However, as soon as I unfastened the harness of the parachute, the first thing I did was to destroy the letter"

"Okay," he smiled, "and we're done." And, even if you are knocked down in the sky above your homeland, destroy the letter as well"

His fears were well-founded, if this letter fell into the hands of anyone except Zhan Guoqiang, then he would have to cry out.

Seven hours later, Zhan Guoqiang opened the letter.

Commander of the Guards

Immediately upon my return, I set about making a plan to find a connection with the north, not an organizational plan, but a comprehensive and strategic plan. On the basis of the information I have here, a fundamental conclusion can be drawn: the Confederates, like us, were concerned about the possibility of a communist government in the north. Even if the government was purely symbolic, Moscow, through Tito's Communist Party, would have been given two direct routes to Yan'an with the help of Communist leaders and Maurice Torres. In this way, it was soon possible to build a "Bolshevik strip" from Belgrade through Genoa to Cannay and Paris.

My assistant in this operation was Wu Yuyong, who, by the way, was a Japanese who was a pro-Japanese but anti-war nobleman with very wide connections. But for me, the concepts of "Japan" and "Kuomintang" are inseparable, and besides, the pro-Japanese ideology in his wife is stronger than other emotions; Considering that it is possible for us to use her social connections to do some work appropriately with the Allies, I think it would be appropriate to involve Wu Yuyong in the work of formulating the details of the operation.

As soon as I decided, Wu Yuyong began to provide information to them through external channels, so that he knew that the purpose of the negotiations was to enable the West to control the entire situation there before the Communists became the masters of the north. And I also believe that the initiative to negotiate should not come from us, and I think it would be more appropriate for the Allies to "know" my ideas through their own agents.

Therefore, I authorize Wu Yuyong to carry out the following activities: According to the intelligence of No. 76, an SS lieutenant said more than once in a conversation with some Communists that we have been defeated and that the situation is irretrievable.

Wu Yuyong attended a friendship entertainment party by "chance", and in the early morning, Wu Yuyong drunkenly told others that he was very tired of this hateful, meaningless war.

Through espionage work, it has been ascertained: The day after the incident, Wu Yuyong said in a conversation with the Japanese consul that if anyone talks about the abhorrence of war, it means that most of them think the same way, and the fate of the entire northern part and the entire national army stationed here is in the hands of Zhan Guoqiang. Zhou Huhai used to be the representative of the American company 'Kylvareshin', so his relationship with the United States is widely known here, although he has always supported the Wang puppet regime. At the same time, his father-in-law was a big banker with ties to both the British and French bourgeoisie. Wu Yuyong's conversation enabled the spies to have enough handles. So he invited Wu Yuyong to a secret contact point, and told him the materials he had obtained that slandered the reputation of his opponents, "These materials are enough to send you to the gallows immediately," and he said to Wu Yuyong, "You only have one way to live, and that is to do things honestly for the Japanese." And in this struggle, the diplomatic, the invisible battle is also very important" All in all, Wu Yuyong has agreed to play for us

The next day, Wu Yuyong met the Japanese consul and told him that only Zhan Guoqiang, the head of the Kuomintang guard, could save the north from the communist threat posed by the guerrillas operating in the mountains and cities, and that if he could act in concert with the Allies, things would naturally succeed quickly and with certainty.

Wu Yuyong, who had large revenues in Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Wuhan, listened to the relevant words with great concern, and had already begun to help us establish such contacts with the Western allies. The consul wrote me a report on this conversation, so that the whole operation was insured from this point on, and in the form it was a trick played by the Allies under the supervision of the Guards in the interests of President Wang and the nation.

On February 21, Song Dawen flew to Kunming. There he found an acquaintance, Ma Changsheng. Through Ma Changsheng's help, he got in touch with Zhang Guoguang, a major in the Yunnan reconnaissance agency. Zhang Guoguang agreed to help establish a link between the Guards and the Americans, explaining that he had done so solely for the self-interest of a Chinese citizen, because the problem was: Kunming was primarily a port used by several French companies, and if Yunnan fell under Communist rule, French companies would also suffer. In addition, I have ascertained that he received higher education in Japan and Germany, and attended two universities, Basel and Frankfurt.

Speaking to him, Mr. Song said he should be especially cautious because he was risky in helping to establish contact. He said that such a thing was contrary to a position of neutrality, and that now the position of the Russians was very strong, and that once the secret was leaked, his government had no choice but to express its firm opposition to his approach, and put the whole consequences on him, and that he would personally bear the burden to Major Zhang Guoguang that no one but the Russians and the Communists were interested in leaking the secret. He added: "I believe that none of us are Communists, let alone Russian Communists, so we don't have to worry about leaking information."

According to Mr. Song, the day after Mr. Zhang, he invited Mr. Zhan and his assistant to lunch: "I have two friends who have come up with a very interesting idea," he said, "If you want, I can introduce you to each other," Mr. Song replied, adding that he wanted to meet Mr. Wu's two friends later after his assistant had finished talking with them.

The two held talks. I told you before that this guy is not the son of the man I mentioned before, but the son of a professor of economics at Nankai University. He went to the United States after passing his doctoral dissertation at university. He began working at some international banks in New York, where Song Dawen also worked.

During the meeting, Song Dawen asked a question: "Would you like to meet with the captain of the guard to discuss this and other issues more specifically?" Zhang Guoguang agreed, but according to Wu Yuyong, many people are still a little skeptical of this suggestion and don't believe it; However, intellectuals who come to work in the intelligence services have this characteristic.

I approved Wu Yuyong to go to Switzerland. The spies and spies greeted him at Lake Chiazo. Then they went together to a small restaurant in Lugano, where Méspin said as we had agreed: "We are willing to negotiate with the Western Allies in order to break Moscow's plan to establish a communist government in northern China." This task requires us to put aside past grievances, erase past hatreds, and sit down to consider our tomorrow together. The peace treaty shall be fair and reasonable"

Song Dawen replied that the only possible negotiation was to talk about Japan's unconditional surrender.

"I will never do anything treacherous and treacherous," Song Dawen said, "and no one in China is willing to do such a thing."

However, Wu Yuyong insisted on the idea of "unconditional surrender", but he did not interrupt the talks, although everyone maintained a strong opposition in accordance with the tone set by me and him in advance.

Then, Zhan Guoqiang's assistant interrupted Wu Yuyong's words and also joined in the meeting. It was this person who gave Song Dawen a list of two leaders in the border area, one named Fei Sicong and the other named Ma Yajun. These two men are currently in our prison. None of them were Communists, from which we can conclude that they were; Americans, like us, are worried about the threat of communism. They are in great need of some heroes of the Resistance Communists, who can come out and lead a government loyal to Western ideas if necessary.

"If these two men can be released from prison and sent to Chongqing," said Zhan's representative, "then our meeting can continue"

My assistant came back and reported to me and I think the problem was clear. Negotiations have already begun, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why they made a request for the release of the two Communists. Zhan Guoqiang also speculated that everyone was waiting for me to go to Chongqing. So, I went to our friend and talked to him for five hours, and at last I came to the conclusion that my superiors could agree to a dignified surrender, even though he did not give any direct guarantees, probably because people had always been afraid to speak out in front of the representatives of the security services.

The next day, we visited me at a secret junction on the shore of Suzhou, told me, and invited me to Xiafei Road for a discussion. So, the day after tomorrow I will go to the French Concession. If this is a trap, I will publicly state that it was a hijacking. If this is indeed the beginning of negotiations, I will write to you as soon as I return to the Department to report the details.

The museum was relocated, but Professor Pu was allowed by the authorities to remain in Shanghai as a remnant of the museum.

At this time, Li Guangyuan was looking for him.

Professor Pu was very happy to see him, and led him to the basement and boiled boiling water on a small electric stove.

"You're freezing here, aren't you?"

"I was so cold that my whole body froze. What can be done, you say? I wonder who isn't cold right now? Professor Pu replied.

"It's warm in the basement in 76."

"Of course, you should live in a warm place. Can we compare our concerns with your worries? We are us, everyone thinks only of himself, but he thinks of all the people of the country."

Li Guangyuan carefully looked around the basement, there was not a single ventilation hole in the room, and there was nowhere to install the bugging. So he took a deep breath of his strong cigarette and said:

"Well, teach a mad madman who pushes millions of people out to eat bombs, but he, full of nasty embryos, sits in a safe place and watches movies with his accomplices..."

Professor Pu's face turned pale all of a sudden, and Li Guangyuan regretted that he shouldn't have said this, and even more regretted that he shouldn't have come to this unfortunate old man for his own business.

"But how is this my business?" Li Guangyuan thought about it, "To be more precise, this is their own business, so it is also his business."

"Please answer me," said Li Guangyuan, "do you disagree with what I said?" Hurry up and answer."

The professor remained silent.

"Well," said Li Guangyuan, "your brother, who is also my friend, has helped me. But you never asked me what I did, I was the captain of the Guards and worked in the reconnaissance department."

Hearing this, Professor Pu stretched out his hands and covered his face, as if someone had punched him in the face.
