You have to say in the telegram, I, Chang Kaishen, am ready to cooperate with you. In exchange, I asked for guarantees of immutability. I can help in many, though not all. ”

"Here's an example. In what are some things to help? ”

"For example, give Zhan Guoqiang to them."

"What about Wu Sibao?"

"Let's wait for a reply from your center. What do you think, will they agree? ”

"I don't think so."

"Why?"

"They didn't see me as a contemporary."

That's a great answer. Thank you for your candor. But you're going to write this telegram just in case, aren't you? ”

"If you insist on that."

"Good. Thank you. Now for the second thing: Can you tell me all about your work? All of them, from start to finish. ”

"You can look at my profile, it's all written in there, Squad Leader."

Chang Kaishen smiled and leaned backstage. He really smiled, wiped his eyes with his hands, and shook his head, but then his face became expressionless again:

"Li Guangyuan, if you can't do it, we will record your various indicators in the instrument, I have a very good doctor. And you will speak the language of her sleep, and I will let my people listen to you, who is not only a well-written writer, but also a writer of espionage. He said, judging from the circumstances of your birth, you are from the Northeast. ”

"What do I admit you can get, Captain?"

"I'm thinking about the future, Li Guangyuan. We can't live independently, we can't live without conductors, and our lives are like a band. ”

"When there is an answer to your suggestion, do I have to write everything for you? Or before that? ”

"Don't Delay a Minute"

Li Guangyuan shook his head: "I will die very painfully, and I can't go against my will, don't be angry." ”

"Then you should telegraph."

Li Guangyuan picked up a pencil and wrote down a message: "Center, I have been arrested by Müller. He suggested cooperation. He was ready to help capture Zhan Guoqiang. In exchange, he demanded guarantees of his personal inviolability. ”

Chang Kaishen carefully read the message and asked, "There are no tricks, right?" ”

"What tricks can there be? Everything is as simple as a cow mooing. ”

Wu Sibao knows better than anyone that everything now cannot be decided in a few days, in a matter of hours, maybe a few minutes.

He understood that Wang had not gone to the fort to defeat the plan he had proposed, which he had now confirmed and studied in detail.

So he continued to do everything he could to keep Wang Wei in Nanjing. He looked apprehensively as the chairman asked the short visitor to decide whether he wanted to continue the fight at the base camp for a long time or if it was best to fly to safety.

Wu Sibao knew Wang Wei's personality very well, so he understood that his worsening paranoia was forcing him to make unusual and terrible decisions. Wu Sibao knew when to put forward a candidate, and if he persuaded or the person who was bet on him by Wu Sibao (Wang Wei appreciated him very much) to put forward a negative opinion, then he could do it quickly and firmly in two or three days, and Wang Wei would approve of the mission of the person Wu Sibao favored as usual.

But Wang Wei's sympathy was painful because he was indulging in the contents of the cup. Wang Wei hated him, but at the same time he was interested in pitying him. He believed that since he was a worker and had led the "front", he had to be kept under control. At the same time, he believed that a man would be extraordinarily faithful to himself if he suffered from a stubborn disease punishable by the moral law of the Party. The same is true of his attitude towards others. In recent months, his darling, the most famous architect, the former Ministry of Military Economy, has spoken bluntly to him; The war was lost, and therefore the destruction of bridges and factories would deprive industry of its ability to revive after the war, and even such a revival would have been possible only with the support of Western capital. No matter what kind of friend he is, Wang Wei cannot tolerate this kind of frankness. He smiled strangely as he listened. Wu Sibao sometimes felt that he had a singular ability to be indifferent to what he didn't want to hear. Wang Wei finished talking to him with great difficulty. At this time, everyone present was pale, fearing that he would become a witness to another hysterical episode of Wang Wei, and if he was angry, he would order the execution of his darling. However, Wang Wei suddenly called him to his side, asked him to sit down, and took the drawings of the "museum".

After the drawing paper was spread out on the table, Wang Wei said: "Listen, the more I study your plan, the more difficult it is to transport the statue across the Yellow River. It's a small town after all, so absolute symmetry is essential. What are your thoughts on this? ”

He looked at the Führer in horror. It had already been bombed by the Allies, and it was only a matter of a week to occupy the city. But the man with trembling hands and bulging eyes is talking about the future of museums, what form of symmetry is best and how to transport the statue across the Yellow River.

When he had just returned to the Prime Minister's Office from the front, Wu Sibao came to look for him.

"Listen," Wu Sibao said amicably, hugging the hateful chairman's darling; "I think now people are going to ask you a question: Are we going over there. You also understand that open conflict is something that will happen in a few months, and we will not hold on for long. Their alliance is breaking down. So I ask you to persuade the President to go to the mountains. ”

Wu Sibao was a shrewd man, and he accurately estimated him. When he was alone with him, after asking a question, he gave an answer that he did not expect to be completely different from Wu Sibao's request;

"My teacher, since you have personally asked to fight for every building and every window, then you are obliged to stay in Nanjing, which is under siege."

"Yes. But there are better means of communication over there," Wang said, "and the soldiers think it's easier for me to lead the battle on the battlefield there." ”

"Military men defend the cause of their narrow professions, and you have a strategic responsibility to look at politics." He said desperately. He understood that every word he said must have been recorded on tape by Wu Sibao.

Wang Wei wilted all of a sudden, and sat motionless for a while in front of the drawings of the museum.

"Listen," he said, turning around, "I still find it uneasy what connoisseurs would say of Michelangelo's resemblance to Raphael. Michelangelo was, after all, too flippant, and I think his art was not sound enough from a national point of view. Sometimes I feel that this conscious lack of seriousness is often peculiar to the Istocrats, and that the anthropologists have noticed it but they unanimously affirmed.

After talking to him, Wang Wei drank tea. In order to test Wu Sibao, he said: "That kid thinks it's very suitable for me to go to the mountains. "Worry-free Literature Network

"Not only does he think it's appropriate," Mr. Wu replied, "but he's also prohibiting the chief executives from blowing up bridges and factories." Have you seen it? He was thinking about the future of the nation, as if this could be placed outside of National Socialism. ”

"Don't believe lies." Wang Wei interrupted Wu Sibao's words, "Someone is jealous of him." All talented people are envied, and I had this experience when I was younger. At that time, I was not accepted by the art academy four times. It's understandable there: all opportunities won't give way to me. This is typical for second-rate peoples who should be eliminated. I can't understand that this inferior quality can also arise in us, that it has no right to exist in us. ”

Wang Wei did not suspect that he was involved in the conspiracy, but instead used him as a shield. Wu Sibao almost believed that Wang Wei might announce that he was going to leave for the fortress at any time. Therefore, the time has come to act.

Wu Sibao went to find Wang Wei's doctor. From the beginning of 1931, he began to take care of Wang Wei, supervise his diet, personally give him injections, purchase new medicines, and ask foreign friends to go to the United States to buy medicines, so as to help the body of the great son of the nation avoid adverse factors that affect his mind and sleep."

"Doctor," said Wu Sibao, "tell me frankly about the actual health of the chairman. Honestly, what is the opinion of the party elders about this. ”

The doctor, like everyone else, knew that he could not speak frankly to Wu Sibao, otherwise it would lead to unforeseen consequences.

"Are you interested in a recent diagnosis?" The doctor asked with concern.

"I'm interested in everything." Wu Sibao said, "All of it. ”

"What reason do you have to worry about the health of the chairman?" The doctor retorted, "I can't find a reason to worry,"

"Doctor, I am responsible to the chairman of the party and the nation. So you don't have to hide it from me. Frankly, I think he's walking a little old now, is it possible to make him stronger? It is not uncommon for his left hand to tremble, and you know what you should do about the attitude of our soldiers towards posture, is there no way? ”

"I've done everything I can, Minister."

Wu Sibao understood that it was useless to talk to the doctor. This man will never do anything that is good for him now. If Wu Sibao confessed to him, "If the injection makes Wang Wei lose his will, I want to control him, I want to make Wang Wei a walking corpse, and you have to do it within two or three days." Then the doctor will definitely go to Wang Wei and tell him everything.

"So can I rest assured?" Wu Sibao got up and asked.

"Yes, absolutely reassuring. The President, of course, will be bitter about our temporary defeat, but his spirit is as strong as ever, and the diagnosis does not lead to a disturbing conclusion. ”

"Thank you, dear doctor, you have reassured me, thank you, my friend."

After leaving the doctor, Wu Sibao walked briskly back to his office, dialed Chang Kaishen's phone, and said, "The matter I told you must be acted upon immediately. Do you understand? ”

"Is it a Western solution?" Chang Kaishen asked.

"Yes." Wu Sibao replied, "Tonight, two intelligence sources will send back reports on this matter. ”

Five minutes later, the captain was sent to the doctor's house by Chang Kaishen.

"The doctor is too big," he said, "and pack up quickly, I have been ordered to send you out of the capital without waiting for a large number of people from the families of the other leaders." ”

Seven hours later, the captain settled the woman and the child in a small house in the mountains. There was silence all around, birds chirping, and the musty smell of rotten grass in the air.

Nine hours later, the magistrate called the Prime Minister's Office to report that the doctor's wife and children had received rations and clothing from the Guard's canteen, and that they had been given seven hundred marks, and that they had gone in a hurry, taking nothing with them.

The phone records were handed over to Wu Sibao, who happened to be there with Wang Wei.

After reading it, a dazed and painful look appeared on Wu Sibao's face. Frowning, he asked, "What's unsettling?" ”

"No, no," replied Wu Sibao, "there is nothing remarkable. ”

He crumpled up the phone records and intended to stuff them into his pocket. He knew that the gentleman would let him read it. And so it was.

"I don't tolerate covering up the truth with me." Wang Wei roared, "After all, what do you have to learn to be a man?" Read it. ”

"Teacher," Wu Sibao said by biting his lip, "Doctor, he has violated your order to all the leaders and families to move to the fortress together. Sending my wife and children to the farm, which I can't see about the area that is about to be taken, our doctor will do this vile betrayal. However, I think it was a mistake and I will order it to be verified. ”

"Who signed the phone record?"

"Magistrate."

"Did he sign it himself?"

"Yes."

"I know him and believe him as much as I believe you." Wang Wei struggled to stand up and said, "Where's the doctor?" Bring this scoundrel here. Let him roll on the floor and beg for mercy. But he cannot be forgiven. He was going to be put to death like a unconscious dog, which was despicable and despicable. ”

A few minutes later, the doctor arrived, he smiled at Wang Wei, and said, "My teacher, you can be angry with me, no matter how you refuse, you must undergo a half-hour massage treatment." ”

"Where's your family?" Wang Wei grabbed his right hand with his right hand and asked, "Answer me, you pig, where did you hide your wife?" Well? If you dare to lie, I'm going to shoot you with my own hands. ”

The doctor felt that the blood began to flow rapidly from his face to his abdomen, his temples were burning, his legs were cold, his belt was weak, and it seemed that his joints would spread out with one step, and his limp body would fall to the floor.

"My wife is at home." The doctor said in a strange, completely unfamiliar voice, "I spoke to her in the morning, my teacher,"

"Look," Wu Sibao said lightly, he smiled at Wang Wei, "I'm glad that everything has passed, it's entirely possible that I was mistaken, there are many people who call this name in China." Please use this phone to call home, Captain, please convey my greetings. ”

The doctor answered the number with his stiff fingers, and the earpiece came out with a long bee sound, and then the maid answered the phone: "Hey"
