106 Arrangement
After the meeting ended, Pu Su and Li Wenjuan returned to their own room next door, and Pu Su asked her to prepare to attend the event with her. Li Wenjuan nodded and said that it was okay anytime and anywhere, and asked about the specifications to arrange the clothes.
The current Li Wenjuan is no longer the embarrassed appearance that Pu Sugang saw when she saw her. Originally, her foundation was excellent, but because of the limited conditions in the border area, and there was no need to maintain and dress up, she looked disgraced at first glance. It's just that after being picked up by Pu Su on Rafeide Road, he took a shower and changed his clothes, and immediately looked different.
Li Wenjuan now wears only one or two pieces of valuable jewelry on her body, all of which Alyosha took out of all the seizures. Some things can't be monetized, but they are suitable for wearing, so they don't change every day. She herself is good at calligraphy and painting, very aesthetic and interesting, and she is not gaudy, but just one or two kinds of wearing, which just rightly highlights her rich and elegant style.
After her rearrangement, this small courtyard is full of life and artistic taste. It was all Ming-style furniture that she and Bai Mantong went to the thrift market to find. Among them, Huanghuali wood is the majority, although the price is not low, but it is much cheaper than the Western furniture of the same period. But after all, it is a real material, and it is a precious wood, where is the vulgar foreign furniture that can be compared?
Now this small courtyard is full of Chinese style for her. Not only the furniture, but also a cat and a dog in the yard, and a tank of goldfish, taking advantage of the right season, also planted wisteria and moon season. Pu Su originally wanted to talk about her, don't just regard Hangzhou as Bianzhou, looking at her posture is quite a bit of a taste of joy. But when I think about my current identity, it turns out that the bare yard is really a bit unusual.
Moreover, the location of the goldfish mud tank and the planting of wisteria was deliberately arranged by her next to the flower bed, covering up the original traces. It is not only the effect of appreciation, but also plays a role of concealment.
When he was about to go back to his room to rest, Li Wenjuan stopped him and discussed with him that Zheng Weizhi should be arranged to live here. Nominally, Zheng Weizhi is now her right-hand man, often going in and out together. White Russian drivers and bodyguards have to pick up and drop off in two places every day, which is really inconvenient.
Of course, Pu Su has no opinion, unlike those team members who have received special training in Belarus, Zheng Weizhi is his serious student, and he is still respectful when he sees him, and he calls him an instructor when no one is around, and he has been reprimanded several times for a while and has not changed.
It's just that Pu Su asked her to tell Zheng Weizhi about the arrangement of the organs at home, so as not to touch the organs by mistake without knowing it, causing a tragedy. The layout of the house is two up and two down, and Zheng Weizhi occupies one downstairs, so the last room has to select the man and driver from the next group of comrades. In addition, an aunt must be selected to live with Zheng Weizhi.
In the future, the downstairs room arrangement is Zheng Weizhi and Aunt Niang, and the other room is the driver and husband.
This kind of staffing was the normal allocation of middle-class and above-class people in Shanghai at that time. Pu Su doesn't need a driver, but with Li Wenjuan's current status, it is not good to go in and out of the house without a driver. In addition, there needs to be an aunt to do laundry and cleaning, and a guy to be responsible for shopping and cooking. Therefore, there were three summons in one courtyard, which was the standard configuration at that time.
Of course, behind closed doors, they are all comrades. Usually, the division of labor is different, and there is no phenomenon of commanding. It is indeed a work need, and the assigned roles are different, and the comrades who have been dispatched can understand it. There is no feeling of being oppressed and oppressed, at least behind closed doors, without outsiders, everyone politely eats at the same table, eats the same thing, and does not need to call the old lady. When there are outsiders, everyone is acting, but the difference is that Pu Su and Li Wenjuan are acting outside every day, and they work harder than them.
Although Li Wenjuan and Pu Su live in their own covered rooms, they sleep on the floor every day. Li Wenjuan didn't understand it at first, but Pu Su told her. To develop this habit behind enemy lines, the position of the bed is the preferred target for assassins at night.
Therefore, in the quilt cupboard in the room of the two people, there is another set of bedding, which is taken out every night before going to bed, and each of them is laid out on the adjacent wall and draws the curtain. In any case, the wall mechanism can be flipped over and transferred to another room after being pressed. And the windows of the two rooms have also been arranged in advance, so they can escape at any time.
The early warning apparatus that has been laid out is not omnipotent. Pu Su is very clear about the fact that there are mountains outside the mountains, and although they are indispensable, he has never relied too much on these means. There are many capable people on the beach in Shanghai, and only the military commanders have received formal training, such as the group of people who came out of the Honggong Ancestral Hall, there are no mediocre hands. What's more, the secret agents and intelligence officers of other factions, he will not underestimate them at all.
In the future, when there are more people in the yard, it will be relatively better, and the two adjacent yards can be arranged to arrange self-defense posts at night. Yu Dabao can arrange a part of the fighters to take turns on duty. Get two more hounds from Alyosha to at least keep them in the dark from being attacked at the door.
The courtyard on Yu Dabao's side can accommodate more than a dozen people, and Pu Su is planning to form a special service class here. The personnel were all selected from the comrades in the border area, and he and Yu Dabao and several other veteran members took turns to conduct training. This team, composed entirely of comrades from the border districts, will henceforth carry out special tasks in secret, that is, they will be responsible for some actions that are not suitable for public contact with the White Russians.
Especially in the future, once he enters No. 76, a lot of information will be transmitted and delivered, contacted, and executed, all of which will be taken over by his own people. There is no longer a need to go through Belarus.
It's not that Pu Su has concerns and fears about Belarus, and his precautions will not be the same as before. At least after a few actions, each other has gained enough trust. Needless to say, those who dare to fight for their lives have no problem in their thinking and consciousness, and betrayal actually requires motivation. In their current closed environment, they cannot reach the outside world, and even if they are tempted, it is difficult to penetrate into the White Russian community.
Even their families are limited to the fortress. Shopping was entirely rationed, and the shops in the fortress were well supplied, and every household spent money with the shopping vouchers issued by the Chamber of Commerce. Each team member will be given different shopping coupons according to their level and contribution. The supplies in the fortress shop were far more abundant than the outside, even including glass stockings and the latest fabrics.
The housewives don't need to travel extra, and the children have good enough teachers to teach them and want to play, and the French park next to it is large enough to be the back garden of the fortress, with a side door leading to the park. And this park, before the Chinese were not allowed to enter, but the White Russians, as Europeans, were not restricted. Therefore, there are few tourists in the park, and the management of the park is also in charge of the White Russians, in fact, this park is like the back garden of the fortress, which meets the needs of the White Russians for recreation and leisure.
White Russia has the innate limitations of White Russia. First of all, the nationalities and races are different, and many things are not suitable for them to do in Shanghai. In addition, in the current situation, Belarus, as an immigrant, will inevitably not look at things from the same perspective as Pusu. The current cooperation is nothing more than a complementarity that each takes what it needs. They need Pu Su's leadership and careful planning, plus Lao Ren's status in the concession to restrain their status, and then lead them into action to obtain additional supplies to meet the living needs of themselves and their families.
And Pu Su needs their strong combat power and cohesion to be remotely controlled through Alyosha for their own use. If it weren't for their presence, the previous battles would not have been possible at all. If Pu Su is alone, he can't even steal the car. No matter how strong a person's ability is, he is also lacking in skills. Two levels need to be solved at the same time, what should he do alone? After going in, he drove out, and someone had to stay outside to prevent the sudden inspection of the shift leader, what should he do alone?
This cooperation can be very close, such as the fortresses and chambers of commerce that have now been formed, have firmly tied them to the chariot. However, once there is a fundamental conflict, Pu Su is confident that these White Russians will never harm their vital interests to cater to themselves. For example, between ethnic groups, between countries, between Belarusian groups and Chinese...... There are some things that there is no way to do, and there is a natural personal inclination that is innate. Let them fight for the people of other countries, except for them who are desperate, normal people will not go to work for other people's affairs.
In other words, these people do dare to fight hard, but they are also fools. If you want these people to fight hard, you need a reasonable motive. For example, robbery or raiding, in short, there must be a similar motive, so that they feel that things should be done this way, and that it is good for them to do it.
Therefore, even if he entered the Japanese-occupied Hongkou District in the future, it was clear that the purpose of the action there was to destroy, and Pu Su had to take everything he could take away in the name of looting, and destroy everything that could not be taken. Otherwise, the case for action seems less convincing.
If you directly tell them that the main purpose is to sabotage, these White Russians will probably be okay once or twice, but after many times, they will definitely have ideas, and thus begin to resist. This sentiment is actually very understandable, and it will be the same in their home country. What does it matter to someone else's family? If you just need to fight for your life if you just help in general, is it worth it? Such a question will probably arise if you change it.
It's not that he didn't think about carrying out some political education for them in the future, and after careful consideration, he felt that it was better to forget it. These White Russians are not small, except for some second generations born in China, the rest of the exiles from Russia back then were at least forty or fifty years old, and those technicians and dukes were even older, basically old people.
If you still want to brainwash them and make them change their understanding, the biggest possibility is not only to do useless work in vain, but also to arouse their resistance, and then the gains outweigh the losses. It's better to maintain the status quo, everyone knows it, and everyone takes what they need. On the contrary, in this state, everyone is comfortable.
Even if they don't have a real financial interest, these Belarusians are willing to participate in actions, such as hospital raids, and they don't complain about all but a few of the needs of their community. But verbally, it is aimed at looting Westerners, everyone can make money, as long as there is such a name, they can accept it.
That's the status quo. Only with this seemingly acceptable excuse can the two nations and races be wonderfully combined, and they can support each other and help each other in this deformed island of Shanghai and this oppressive and turbulent era, and survive together.
What is best to empathize with others, Pu Su himself has experience in the Soviet Union, so he can understand the mentality of these people very well. If he is a political cadre, as soon as he comes to Shanghai, he will change his mind with a roar, and the end will definitely not develop in a good place, and even go to a very negative situation.
Therefore, while the four former team members joined, they could act as instructors for training, and he had to select another group of team members. Tomorrow, Li Wenjuan will send another report to the border region, and send 20 trainees from the trainees he has trained in the past, including at least five women.
His code name is "King Kong". The previous core contact point "lighthouse" only played the role of a hub in Shanghai, that is, a transfer station, and its main role was to upload and distribute. Pu Su is determined to form a collective operation with him, and the hoarding and transportation of intelligence and commercial materials.
It is envisaged that in the future, the entire Shanghai organization will be an organization that can fight and fight, collect intelligence and obtain materials, destroy localities, wear down their strength, and directly carry out targeted killings and assassinations.
In addition to being able to make blood by itself, it is also necessary to continuously transfuse blood to the border area. In order to achieve this, he also needs to secretly transport a large number of personnel to all corners and institutions of Shanghai in the future, starting with patrol houses in various places.
It's hard to get into a place like 76. However, it is much easier to go to police stations and patrol houses in various places. In addition, there is Lao Ren mediating inside, first the French Concession, then the Public Concession, and then infiltrating into the Huajie and Hongkou. Although the patrol seems to be at the bottom, it actually controls the actual affairs of Shanghai Tang. No matter how big the matter is, it must be implemented on those patrols in the end. So, this location is very important.
Taking Lao Ren as an example, his real energy is actually far beyond his position. In the French Concession, there was almost nothing he couldn't do. If Pu Su really made friends with a Frenchman in the public board of directors, he might not have an old appointment. Many things, such as handling various documents, Lao Ren directly did it himself, and finding high-level officials and going around is not only easy to leave behind, but also inefficient.
Then there is the example of asking the owner of the house you like to move out. Lao Ren's identity asked him to send his subordinates to inquire about both soft and hard, and the effect was very good. So far, no gangster tactics have been used. Be reasonable, give enough compensation to others, and let people sell their personal favors, no one originates from offending a character like him. Even if you don't plan to mix in the French Concession in the future, there is no need for that.
In other words, now all of them are on the beach, and the best location is only the French Concession. I won't choose to leave until I have to. And Lao Ren's compensation and replacement plans are available, which is nothing more than moving a place to reiki stoves, the compensation is sufficient, and there will be backers in the concession in the future, and those merchants and residents don't need to fight him.
What good is it to oppose him? Report to the officer? He's an official, looking for a gangster? You don't even have to think about it. Black and white are useless, and there is no harm but good. Who is going to be unhappy?
This is the advantage of patrolling, you can see it and feel it.
