While Alyosha gathered people and began to choose people, Pu Su quietly left the mansion.

Walking down the street, he hailed a rickshaw and came to the public concession again. Then he sat down at a Jewish-owned café in Jing'an Temple, ordered a cup of coffee, and dialed the contact number again from the phone on the counter before checking out.

Except for the first time in the French Concession, he deliberately contacted the other party in the Public Concession on both occasions. It creates the illusion that he was in the French Concession when he first arrived, and then entered the Public Concession.

Of course, this is a speculation that can only be reached after the other party uses telecommunication means to track you.

This call is a routine call after the task is completed.

Of course, the contact knew in the newspaper that the operation had been successful, and the emotionless voice on the phone brought him a new task assigned by his superiors.

The border area is in urgent need of medicine to treat the wounded, and Gu Ji has not delivered medicine to the border area for some time. The higher authorities instructed Pu Su to look for opportunities in Shanghai to deliver the urgently needed medicines to the border areas.

As for the funding, there was no mention of it, and it was obvious that he had to find a way to solve it himself.

Although Pu Su sent a signal in the newspaper to communicate directly with his superiors, it will take some time to convey it to the border area and then give feedback. Therefore, the instructions issued by the liaison now are the tasks of the superior that must be completed for him.

In the past, the reason why Gu Ji was able to deliver a large number of drugs to the border area could only be said to be a coincidence. After the outbreak of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, many foreigners and compradors who distributed Western medicine rushed to leave Shanghai, a place of right and wrong, and return to their respective countries.

A large number of medicines that were originally imported into Shanghai could not be taken with them. When people leave, it is better to give away the medicine in the warehouse for free, so it is better to sell it at a low price.

It was during this period that Gu Ji and Dr. Bai used the name of [Puji Clinic] to eat a large number of medicines at the lowest price, including hundreds of boxes of quinine (cinchona) and sulfonamides, as well as various precious medicines.

They were kind of a big bargain in that period. If these drugs are kept until now, they may not be able to buy them if their value is ten times higher.

In fact, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, although many families were ruined, there were also many people who became nouveau riche in various inexplicable ways.

After entering the isolated period, the population of the concession increased dramatically, and the population of the concession during this period was well over 4 million.

With such a large population, not only is there a shortage of houses, but the rent is soaring, and the single-family Shikumen where Pu Su lives now cannot be rented without a monthly rent of 300 fiat currency.

After the fall of the country, domestic products were discontinued, and foreign goods were restricted by the Japanese. In particular, all daily necessities are used in small quantities as consumables, and prices are unbelievably soaring.

Not to mention the price of scarce Western medicine, which is comparable to gold. And gold is easy to find, but medicine is hard to find.

In fact, Wang Weiwei of the Nationalist Government once carried out an initiative to abolish traditional Chinese medicine (1929), but this time he had to smash the jobs of so many traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacies, and the interests and national sentiment were too great, and finally ended up without a problem.

As one of the greatest disasters of mankind, this extreme form of war is a good thing in the eyes of a few. They wish that the war would never stop.

These merchants, who have made a fortune in the country, hoarded and raised prices every day to supply only a small amount of goods, raising the prices of goods to an astonishing level.

Rice and grain are even at a price per hour in the later period.

Not to mention imported medicines that treat diseases and save lives?

At that time, there was an extreme shortage of Western medicines on the market, and they were hyped to the point that there was no price in the market, and it could not be solved with money alone.

Therefore, Gu Ji and Doctor Bai are also powerless now.

Even the Puji Clinic is actually in a state of semi-closure. Coupled with the shortage of raw materials in the factory in Lujiabang, they have indeed not delivered materials to the border area for a period of time.

It's really hard for a good woman to cook without rice.

At present, Gu Ji is about to leave Shanghai for Chongqing, and his superiors will naturally not arrange any more tasks for him. And Pu Su, who received the task, would rather go and put a few more bombs at night, and he was not good at preparing materials at all.

He was going to meet Gu Ji in the evening, and he also decided not to talk to him about it.

This is his task, and the seniors are leaving, so there is no need to bother him anymore. On the way back, he had been thinking about it, and the task he received this time made him feel very tricky.

Last night, Gu Ji specially took care of what he was going to wear today, and only said that he would take him to a place.

In a few days he will be on his way to the southwest. Now I also try to take Pu Su to familiarize myself with the Shanghai environment and introduce some of the relationships in my hands to him.

After returning to the Shikumen on Rafeld Road to inspect the layout, Pu Su stood in the courtyard and looked at this mansion with annexes, feeling that it would definitely not be a long-term solution to go on like this.

Fortunately, if nothing else, he should have responded to his superiors' request within a day or two.

He needs someone to look after him when he goes out.

After all, this is not a hotel for temporary accommodation, go out to arrange, come back to lift. Doing this every day is not only tedious, but it can also be easy to make mistakes.

The idea of hiring a servant from outside doesn't need to be considered at all, and it is better to keep it as it is.

It is completely impossible to guard against an outsider at home, and it is inconvenient everywhere.

Moreover, his usual arrangement in the house is not to mention being seen through, even if he is killed and injured after the chaos, it is inevitable that he will be killed. And he couldn't explain to the servant where he could and couldn't move first.

From a psychological point of view, the more you talk to others, the more curious they become.

So he sent a request to his superiors. Send him a middle-aged female comrade with the skills of sending and receiving telegrams to come over and settle here as a servant. On the one hand, he can hide people's eyes and ears, and on the other hand, he can directly establish contact with his superiors as his newspaper operator.

As for the security aspect. If a newspaper operator is sent to him in the past few days, he must be a comrade who has been working in the border area. Otherwise, it would be pointless to arrange one for him from Shanghai. He made it very clear in his secret words - he felt that the Shanghai underground organization was not reliable internally.

Therefore, the incoming comrades have at least nothing to do with the complicated situation in Shanghai.

As is customary, they do not know the specific task until they leave. And after arriving here, it is easy not to come into contact with the outside world, let alone have no reason to contact outsiders.

By that time, he would have a lot easier. At least not like now, entry and exit need to be guarded against.

Fortunately, the security of the French Concession is now very well managed by Gu Ji.

In such a chaotic situation, the phenomenon of burglary in the public concession and Huxi can be said to abound.

If the thief came to break into his empty door, he would either be killed or injured, but he couldn't stay here any longer.

……

I made an appointment with Gu Ji at six o'clock in the evening.

After tidying up the outfits, Pu Su sat down at the table and began to organize the training outline.

He had been in charge of training for a long time, so he was familiar with it. And there are many subjects that are not necessarily taught, mainly tracking assassinations, as well as intelligence transmission and explosive makeup, etc.

The players on Alyosha's side are very strong. If the training is carried out in a targeted manner, it can be achieved quickly in one month at the earliest, and at least some simple tasks can be performed.

Of course, they definitely can't meet experts, but most of the opponents here in Shanghai are actually half-.

Not to mention that there are still many Green Gang hooligans in No. 76. Even many of the spies in the Central and Military Commands were also absorbed from the civilian ruffians.

Although a figure like Chen Gongshu can be regarded as an elite, there are not many in the intelligence organs of the entire national government.

The real trouble must be faced by himself.
