The room on the second floor of Shikumen was lit with sun lamps, two cups of tea on the table, and an ashtray full of cigarette butts.

The two figures sat opposite each other.

Pu Su wiped a foreign fire and burned the notes he had written and painted to ashes.

Gu Ji is about the same height as him, both of them are 178, but they look weak and thin. Dressed in civilian clothes, he looks like an ordinary clerk, and people will not think that he is the flower of the Chinese police circle in the French Concession.

In a sense, of all the Chinese living here, he is the only one who has broken the ceiling in the French-dominated concession.

No Chinese sat in his position before him, and it is unlikely that there will be any one after him.

Opportunity does matter. The other is his fluency in French and his education in France. The French want to believe that this intelligent and brave Chinese is largely influenced by their French culture, which is why they are so good.

……

Both of them were smoking in silence at the moment.

Gu Ji naturally had a bunch of things he needed to consider, and Pu Su was also digesting the information that Gu Ji had conveyed to him before.

This senior has only been in business in Shanghai for seven years, but he has left him with a large family foundation.

The White Russian nest and the military workshop where Lao Ren took him to meet Alyosha in the morning are only the two most important departments that urgently need him to contact, in fact, their family background is far more than that.

Gu Ji was not a member of the party before, so his layout in Shanghai was completely independent at the beginning. At that time, the original intention was that he had to take care of his brothers and friends, and there were some things that had to be done.

Lao Ren and Lao Hong, who is now in the northeast, are his subordinates. There is also the elder sister of the Wang sisters, who used to be the English translator of his political department.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the two sisters had already joined the organization, and after organizational consideration, the elder sister was finally recommended by Gu Ji to the Nanjing National Government to lurk.

And the White Russians who got tanks and armored vehicles, named Molokov, and Alyosha have a deep relationship with him. He has an obligation to take care of them, at least so that they can live a stable life in Shanghai.

Originally, there was a miasma of smoke in the concession, and various forces were mixed. After organizing the White Russians, they expelled the Green Gangs that had been in the concession in one fell swoop.

Now the order of the entire French Concession is very stable, and it can almost be said that there is no road left on the street.

Gu Ji didn't talk about many things in depth, and he just explained it a little. Pu Su can imagine that there must be a lot of stories, and those people must have experienced a lot with him.

"Alyosha deserves your trust. He was just like that, and he had that attitude towards me. ”

"He's a real soldier. Loyal, obedient, and sacrificial. ”

This is Gu Ji's original words when he talked about Alyosha, and his expression was very serious.

"It's better not to trust anyone here except them!"

"I have only trusted one person before, and he died, and he died for me."

Before ending the conversation, this was the last sentence he said. The tone was very heavy, and the expressions seemed to be a little hideous under the light.

The attitude of the seniors is very clear. Emphasizing Lao Ren, as well as Alyosha, they can be fully trusted.

Others, on the other hand, need to be more careful.

Others here are obviously referring to people within the organization.

Because he was just sent to Shanghai yesterday, what happened before must have nothing to do with him. And when many things happened, he was abroad, and Gu Ji was generally clear about Pu Su's past resume.

In addition, the two met in France when they were teenagers, and Pu Su's consistent personality and political attitude Gu Ji also knew very well. So now that the above has arranged for him to come to Shanghai, Gu Ji is also willing to cooperate with the handover, after all, he can't take it away no matter what.

……

Gu Ji's belief is, of course, pure and firm, there is no doubt about it.

Over the past few years, no less than dozens of patriotic anti-Japanese people have been rescued from the French Concession through his channel, and the value of the important information transmitted to the organization is immeasurable. There is also an irregular shipment of arms and medicines, which are strategic goods that are in short supply in the border areas.

All this is enough to prove that he has an extremely strong faith.

It's just that he should have concerns about the Shanghai branch.

Since the death of his liaison, Gu Ji has always been in direct contact with the superior leaders in the border area.

"Do you have a target of suspicion? Even if it's just a feeling. ”

Pu Su wanted to ask Gu Ji what he thought.

"I've been in one-way contact with him before, otherwise I would have been exposed."

"Maybe Lao Guangdong has a suspicious target, but he doesn't have a chance to speak."

Gu Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Old Guangdong should have a premonition before the accident."

Gu Ji continued.

"After the accident that day, he told me that if he couldn't go back, I would send someone directly to the border area to contact me in the future. Don't contact anyone here, no one can be trusted. ”

"And then I never saw him again."

Speaking of this, Gu Ji fell into a certain emotion, and Pu Su could only silently refill him with a cup of tea when he saw this.

Gu Ji's speculation is not unfounded.

Before leaving, the superior showed Pu Su the previous action report.

Gu Ji's contact person code name is "Old Guangdong", and he is also his introduction to the party, which can be said to be the guide who single-handedly developed Gu Ji to join the organization, and the two have a very deep relationship.

At that time, it was suspected that they had been betrayed, and when the two met, they were surrounded by agents of the Central Union. At the time of the incident, they could break through and rush out together, but once they broke through head-on, Gu Ji's identity was bound to be exposed.

At the critical moment, Lao Guangdong asked Gu Ji to go first, and he came to cover to attract firepower. At first, Gu Ji couldn't bear to leave alone, but Lao Guangdong forced him to go first with self-defeat, and in the end, he was surrounded on all sides and committed suicide by swallowing a gun.

A few months later, Gu Ji sent his subordinate Lao Hong to find the border area, and since then it has been a one-way contact, and it has been maintained until now.

Judging from Lao Guangdong's resume, he was previously the captain of the Red Team Action Group. In 1932, after Shanghai Tek suffered major damage, it was transferred from the Xiangjiang Detachment to Shanghai, and he had very rich experience in fighting the enemy.

Otherwise, if he was a little careless, Gu Ji's identity would have been exposed long ago.

Pu Su looked at a roster. Before leaving, his superiors handed it to him, and after reading and remembering it, he destroyed it on the spot. The roster recorded several underground intelligence agents who had contacts with the old Guangdong at that time and comrades who are still in Shanghai.

In the past few years, although the underground organization in Shanghai has not been systematically damaged, it is only that several key figures have had strange accidents one after another, and the losses can be said to be very serious.

In particular, after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, the original opponents, the Central and Military Commands, shifted most of their forces to sabotage and treachery against Japan.

Last month, three comrades of the Ganzhou branch went to the Soviet zone via Shanghai to attend a meeting, but as a result, the sampan where they were hiding was stopped by the Japanese army as soon as it left Wusongkou. After a short shootout, all three comrades died heroically.

Thinking of this, Gu Ji broke the silence again, and he asked, "Ziyan, you just went to the workshop, what do you think of the layout inside?" ”

Hearing this, Pu Su was interested.

Although he admired the idea of progressive protection and concealment over there, he also raised his own concerns.

Pu Su mainly felt that the terrain was a backwater, and if he had two armor vehicles, he still needed to break through, which meant that the enemy's firepower could at least pose a threat to the tanks and armor.

In that case, it doesn't make much sense to stand out, but mobility is limited from the start. The two armoured fireloads with high-speed maneuverability were ultimately used as stationary batteries.

Hearing Pu Su's worries, Gu Ji's eyes lit up instead, and the previous haze seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"And what do you think should be done?"

He asked himself with a smile.

"Senior, did you learn the layout over there in Huangpu?"

Pu Su asked him a little curiously.

At that time, Huangpu moved from the seventh phase to Nanjing, and only after it was converted to a three-year system. Ashkenazi training was adopted, and since then all training subjects have been modeled after the German Army, and the advisers at the military academy are Germans.

And this senior is the fifth phase of Whampoa, and the layout of the workshop even the Germans do not have this style.

"I put forward some ideas, mainly designed by Old Man Xia. And Molokov...... Forget it. ”

"You should take a look at the drawings designed by the old man next time, I have been using the guy he modified."

After speaking, Gu Ji pulled out a Colt M1911 from his clothes, which he almost didn't recognize.

Pu Su saw that the pistol was equipped with the front grip and brake of the Thomson M1928 submachine gun, and used a 30-round magazine produced in Spain.

"In fact, there are also butts that can be added, and it is inconvenient to take them out."

Gu Ji said as he proudly let Pu Su study his love gun.

This gun has been modified in such a way that it is an automatic submachine gun in a burst state. Pu Su was amazed after reading it.

"According to your thinking, how should it be deployed over there?"

waited until Pu Su reluctantly returned the gun, and Gu Ji stuffed it into his clothes before continuing to ask.

"Actually, I think the terrain conditions over there are congenitally insufficient, but it is impossible to transfer now. If it's me...... It will distance the two armor vehicles and cross each other with the workshop as the center. ”

"Of course, it still doesn't solve the fundamental problem. If you can't even solve it with tanks, the result will be the same anyway, but the firing range is much fuller. ”

Pu Su said as he casually drew the topographical map of the workshop on paper.

Gu Ji looked at the distribution of firepower he rearranged, especially the surrounding terrain and the outline of the house, and admired this junior in his heart.

"That's right, it looks like you're setting up the most favorable for the existing conditions."

"It's just ......"

Gu Ji sold a pass.

Without waiting for Pu Su to urge, he quickly continued:

"I don't say you wouldn't have imagined that the dock would actually move!"
