"You, as a worker, must not revise the entire history of development, right? Perhaps you still exclude certain periods in the history of the development of your fallacies? Specifically, to exclude that history? ”

"I know how to answer you. Naturally, there have been some humiliations in the history of the nation. However, as far as I can see, the reason why the Chinese people as a nation have declined in modern times is because he has replaced the end with the means.

"I see what you mean. It was usually traitors who were killed.

Rich and poor are equally temporary. Bodhisattvas always persuade people to reconcile, while all heresy Yahwa calls on people to kill each other. Incidentally, evil ideas are often inherent in heretical doctrines, and the purpose of opposing heresy against violence is precisely to prevent violence from entering the moral code."

"Exactly. But in opposing heresies that advocate the use of violence, aren't unions also using violence? ”

"It was used, but it was not considered an end in itself, and it was not considered correct in principle"

"As far as I know, violence has been used against heresy for eight or nine centuries, isn't it? That is to say, for a period of eight or nine hundred years, coercion has been used in order to eradicate violence. And we only came to power in 1933. What can you ask us to do? In five years we have eliminated unemployment, in five years we have fed the whole country, yes, we have used coercion against those who have different views, and you have spoken out against us, and if you are firmly opposed to our system, is it not better for you to rely on material force than on spiritual force? For example, you organize an anti-state group among the workers and do something against us. or distributing leaflets, organizing sabotage, sabotage, and armed attacks on government dignitaries, and so on. Why don't you do that? ”

"No, I will not take this path, not simply because I am afraid of anything, I think it is not acceptable at all, because, if I use your methods against you, then I will involuntarily join you."

"So, if a young worker comes to you and says to you; Leader, I don't agree with this system, I'm going to rise up against it.'"

"I won't stop him"

"He also said to you: 'I want to kill the magistrate'. But there were three girls in the local area: a two-year-old, a five-year-old, and a nine-year-old. And his wife was paralyzed in both legs. What will you do? ”

"I don't know"

"If I were to ask you about this person, wouldn't you tell me anything? Don't you want to save the lives of the three girls and the sick woman? Or will you help me? ”

"No, I will not say anything to you, because saving the lives of some will inevitably destroy the lives of others. Any positive action in this inhumane struggle at present time can only lead to new bloodshed. Under these circumstances, the only way for a trade unionist to behave is to avoid the brutal struggle and never side with the executioner. Unfortunately, this is a negative approach, but any positive approach in the current situation will lead to an increase in bloodshed"

"I'm sure it's going to be hard if we use a third level of interrogation on you, and it's painful that you'll tell us that person's name after all."

"You're saying that if you turn me into an animal that has lost my mind from excruciating pain, I'll do what you need, right? Maybe I'll do it. However, that's not me anymore. In that case, why do you need to talk to me? Whatever you need to do with me, you can use me as if I were an animal or a machine."

"Excuse me, if someone comes to you, some vicious enemy, some megalomaniacal, and they ask you to go abroad, to Great Britain, or Russia, or Sweden, or Switzerland, and ask you to be an intermediary and deliver a letter, will you be able to do this?"

"It's my duty to be a middleman"

"Why?"

"Because it's my job to mediate between people and their superiors. And a person should have a correct attitude towards life, just so that he can feel that he is a real person. Therefore, I do not separate the relationship between people and their lives. In principle, it is the same relationship: a unified relationship. So mediating relationships between people is, in principle, a matter of course for me. In mediating relations between people, I put forward only one condition, and that is that the consequence of this mediation is good, and that good and benevolent means are to be used"

"Even if this mediation is harmful to our country, you agree to do it?"

"You're forcing me to make some generalized comments. You know very well that a country that is based on violence is not something that I, as a trade unionist, can stand for. Of course, I would like people to live differently than they do now, but I don't know how to do that, in principle, I hope that all the people who make up this nationalist state will survive and form a different unity together. I don't want to kill anyone."

"I believe that the betrayal is terrible, but even more terrible is the indifferent and passive bystander attitude towards the betrayal and massacres that are taking place"

"In this case, I can only participate in one job, and that is to end the massacre"

"But you can't do it"

"Yes, I can't help it. Excuse me, what do you mean by betrayal? ”

"Betrayal is passivity"

"No, passivity is not a betrayal"

"It's more terrible than betrayal"

Wu Sibao suddenly felt the building shake, "probably the place where it was bombed is not far away," he thought, "maybe it was a giant bomb that was dropped, and the conversation between these two people was really strange."

He called the officer on duty. The attendant, pale and sweaty, walked into the office.

Wu Sibao asked, "Is this an official recording, or a monitoring recording?" ”

The attendant replied softly, "I'll go and ask for clarification, I'll be back soon"

"It's close to where it was bombed, right?"

"Our building shattered a lot of glass"

"Can't you go to the bomb shelter and hide?"

"No," replied the watchman, "we are not allowed to go to the dugout"

Eisman was about to continue listening, but the attendant came back and reported to him that Li Guangyuan had not recorded the recording. This is recorded in accordance with the instructions of the counterintelligence agency for the purpose of conducting a supervisory review of the staff of the central agency.

"Each of these bombs weighs at least one ton," Wu said.

"Apparently so," Mr. Li agreed.

He was now anxious to leave the office and immediately burn the report in the folder that had been submitted to Zhan Guoqiang on the negotiations between the "traitors in the security department of the Guards" and the West.

"Wu Sibao's trick is not so simple," Li Guangyuan thought to himself, "It seems that the union has interested him from the beginning." At that time, I was going to use the union as a cover figure in the future. And now he's using the union again, which is intentional. And he won't carry Zhan Guoqiang on his back" Li Guangyuan knew that now he had to be unhurried, and discuss all the details of the upcoming operation with Wu Sibao one by one.

"I think the enemy plane is about to fly away," Wu Sibao said as he listened attentively, "Maybe not?" ”

"I'm going to fly away, and then I'm going to load the bomb"

"No, it's time for this group to have fun on the base. They have planes that can bomb us in turns, so you think, if we take the union teacher's sister and three children hostage, the teacher will definitely come back? ”

"Definitely"

"And after coming back, when Chang Kaishen interrogated whether you asked him to go abroad to find a relationship, he would be tight-lipped about it?"

"I'm not sure about that. It depends on who interrogates him."

"I think wouldn't it be better to leave the tape of your conversation with him, and he was in the coffin, so to speak, during the bombing of enemy planes?"

"I'll Think Again"

"Do you want to think about it for a long time?".

"I beg permission to think about this idea"

"How much time are you going to ponder?"

"I try to come up with ideas in the evening"

"Great," Wu Sibao said, "did the enemy plane fly away and want to drink some hot tea?" ”

"I'd love to drink it, but I'll have to wait until I'm done"

"That's good. Li Guangyuan, I am glad that you understand the whole situation so accurately. This is a good lesson for Chang Kaishen. He began to be rude to people, even to the commander, and we took his work from him, and now he was dwarfed. We've done the commander a great favor in this way."

"Does the Commander know about this?"

"I don't know what we say. He didn't know. Got it? Overall, it's been a pleasure working with you."

"Me too"

Wu Sibao sent the co-captain to the door, shook his hand, and said: "If everything goes well, you can go to the mountains to play for four or five days, now it is a good place to rest, the snow is blue, the skin is tanned, oh my God, how beautiful it must be, how many things we forgot during the war"

"First of all, we forgot about ourselves," Shi Li Guangyuan replied, "like forgetting our coat in the locker room after drinking on New Year's Day"

"Yes, yes," Wu Sibao sighed and said, "Just like the coat in the locker room, you don't write poetry anymore?" ”

"I never wrote poetry at all"

Wu Sibao stretched out a finger and made a look to scare him and said, "Li Guangyuan, a trivial lie will cause great distrust."

"I can swear," Li Guangyuan smiled slightly, "I have written everything, but I have never written poems, because I don't know anything about rhyme"

Li Guangyuan destroyed the letter addressed to Zhan Guoqiang, reported to the adjutant of the commander of the guard, that all problems had been solved with Wu Sibao, and then walked out of his residence in Qingpu and strolled towards the Suzhou Creek. The sidewalks were cleaned, although they were still littered with rubble during the night, and now enemy planes bombed them twice, sometimes three times.

"I was on the verge of collapse," Li Guangyuan thought to himself, "when Wu Sibao handed over the union teacher to me for interrogation, it was because the Japanese living in Ruitu now interested him. The social connections that the teacher may have also made him very tempted. So when I told him that the teacher was going to work with us, he readily agreed to release him. He sees farther than I do. He anticipated that the teacher could act as a stand-in in one of their important conspiracies. But how can the teacher participate in the action in Hongkou? What kind of action is this? Why did Wu Sibao turn on the radio when talking about Songjiang's trip to Switzerland? If he did not dare to speak out loud about this, then it meant that the senior captain had accepted full power, and that his rank in the guard was the same as that of Li Yu Dingmo Village or Li Shiqun. Wu Sibao can't help but tell me about the trip to Hongkou, otherwise I will have to ask him: 'How can you prepare for action when you are playing with cards and your eyes are black?' 'Does the West want to sit down and negotiate with the Japanese?'

Generally speaking, Zhan Guoqiang's power is very great, and the Japanese are very clear about this. However, they and Zhan Guoqiang sat at the same table to negotiate, it was really unimaginable, no matter what it was, the teacher could use it as bait and cover, they all planned it this way. However, they probably did not take into account that Mei Sipin still has powerful connections abroad. Then I should guide the teacher and let him use his influence against those who have sent him abroad through my hand. I had intended to use him as an alternate channel of contact, but now it seems likely that he will play a more important role. If I had provided him with not the 'lines' arranged by Wu Sibao, but the statements I had made up, then someone from Nanjing and Chongqing would have come to him. Clear. I ought to prepare for him a set of statements that can arouse great interest in him, but not in other countrymen who have already arrived or are going abroad. Therefore, for me, the top priority is to make up a set of statements for him, and secondly, to consider that he is a representative of some people in China who oppose Wang Wei and Zhan Guoqiang."

Li Guangyuan walked into a tavern, asked for a glass of brandy, thought about it while drinking, and sat for a long time. The place was quiet, and no one disturbed him in his thoughts.

"With a teacher, that's enough, but it's not enough. I need to have a double insurance. Who can? Who? Li Guangyuan pondered.

He lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, put it in the ashtray again, and squeezed the glass full of grog wine, "Where did they get all this wine?" The only ones that are not sold by ticket are liquor and brandy. However, the Japanese can do everything, and the only thing they don't do is that they never drink heavily. Well, right. I need someone who hates this gang of robbers. And this person can be more than just a liaison. I need a character."

Li Guangyuan once had such a candidate. Pu Ding, the attending physician at a hospital named after a senior, had been helping Li Guangyuan since 1939. He was a renegade-hating anti-violent man, brave and calm. Li Guangyuan sometimes felt really incomprehensible how such an outstanding doctor, scholar, and intellectual could silently harbor such a strong hatred for the violent system. When he talked about Wang Wei, his face became like a plaster cast from the face of the deceased. Together with Li Guangyuan, Pu had done several great things: in 1938 they rescued a reconnaissance group from complete destruction; They also obtained top-secret materials about the preparations for the offensive of the Japanese troops stationed in the border area, and Pu was allowed to go abroad to give lectures at a certain university in Kunming, and took the opportunity to transfer these materials to Yan'an. However, he died suddenly half a year ago due to heart palsy. His elder brother, Professor Pu Anding, who had served as the president of the university in the past, was later imprisoned in prison "preventively", and when he was released, he became a taciturn, gentle and obedient man with a tame and obedient smile on his lips. Soon after his arrest, his wife abandoned him, and it was relatives who insisted that she do so, because her brother had already been appointed economic counselor at the embassy in Nanjing. Everyone thought that the young man had a bright future, and that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the party organs appreciated him, so the relatives held a family meeting and proposed two paths for Mrs. Pu to choose: either she would sever ties with her husband and the enemy of the state, or she would still act in her own interests, and then she would be judged by her family, and all relatives would publicly declare in the newspapers that they would sever all ties with her.

Mrs. Pu was ten years younger than the professor, she was just forty-two years old. She loved her husband, and they had traveled abroad several times, where they taught archaeological excavations and often went out with archaeologists at the "Belgamon" museum in Berlin for a summer. At first, Mrs. Pu firmly disagreed with her husband, so many people in her family asked to publicly disown her. But her brother Feng Hucheng has been persuading her relatives not to publicize this scandal, "because if you do so, you will definitely be taken advantage of by our enemies," he explained, "and people's jealousy is very strong, and it will affect me if something like this happens." It is better not to make a noise, it is better to deal with this matter quietly and carefully"

On one occasion he introduced a friend from the speedboat club to Mrs. Pu. This is a beautiful man of thirty years old, named Hu Bicheng. Everyone often jokes about him, saying: "Hu Bicheng is not a straw bag" This person is very beautiful, but he is also very stupid. Feng Hucheng knew that Hu Bicheng was supported by some half-aged. The three of them met in a small restaurant, and Pu Furen observed Hu Bicheng's every move, and felt very sure. Although Hu Bicheng is a fool, his role is played very realistically, and he is completely in accordance with the prescribed play. Hu Bicheng is physically strong and has a withdrawn personality. Silent and silent. He only told one or two jokes in one night. Later, he invited Mrs. Pupu to dance very restrictively. Her brother sat aside, squinting contemptuously and smugly, watching them dance. The elder sister laughed softly, Hu Bicheng hugged her tighter and tighter, and whispered something in her ear.

Two days later, Hu Bicheng moved to the professor's house. He stayed at the professor's house for a week until the police came to check on him. Mrs. Pu went to her brother and cried and said, "Find a way to get him back for me, it's terrible if we don't be together" The next day she submitted a petition for divorce from her husband. This incident hit the professor hard: he thought his wife was his main like-minded person. He was tortured in a concentration camp, but he believed that this would preserve her innocence and allow her to think freely.

Once at night, Hu Bicheng asked her: "Do you feel better with him?" She laughed softly, then put her arms around him and said, "Oh, he just speaks nicely."

After Pu Anding was released, he did not go to Nanjing, he went directly to Shanghai. Through Li Guangyuan's connections, his younger brother helped him find a job at the "Shanghai" Museum. He worked in the Greek Pavilion of the museum.

Li Guangyuan usually met with his agents here, so he often came to see Pu Anding after work. The two of them walked together in the empty halls of the majestic "Belgamon" and "Hakata" museums. Pu Anding knew that Li Guangyuan always had to look at the sculpture "The Boy with Thorns" for a long time every time; Always bypass the black stone statue of Caesar, whose two dull and furious eyes were made of a strangely transparent ore. The professor also always arranged the routes for them to visit the halls so that Li Guangyuan could stay for a while next to the ancient Greek statues of sorrow, laughter, and wisdom.

Of course, the professor would not know that every time Li Guangyuan returned home, he stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and practiced his facial expressions for a long time like an actor. Li Guangyuan believes that a scout should learn to master and control his facial expressions. The ancients mastered this skill to the point of perfection

There is a glass box with a steel statue of Samos Island on display. One day, Li Guangyuan asked the professor to bring the key to open the glass box.

"I think," he said at the time, "that as soon as I touch these sacred treasures, a miracle will immediately occur, and I will become a different person, and the calm wisdom of the ancients will be infused into me."

The professor took the key, and Li Guangyuan took the opportunity to make a key imprint. Later, under the bronze statue of a woman in the box, he placed a secret place to store things.

Li Guangyuan likes to talk to professors about problems.

On one occasion he said: "Greek art is indeed the art of genius, but it is too elegant and harmonious, because there is always a bit of femininity." The works of the Romans were much larger. Probably, because of this they are more similar to the Germans. The Greeks focused on the general outline, while the Romans were logical and rigorous, and therefore had a strong passion for detail. Take the portrait of Marco Aurello, for example. He is a hero, and he is the object of imitation, and children should play him when they play."
