As for the question of the form of communication between the regional groups in the future, it has to do with the question of the headquarters that you are talking about. I think I have to lead the command. If you can approve it, I will be appointed as the special assistant for guard affairs of Wu Sibao in my previous post, so that I will be able to add weight to the cause I am engaged in, and I will be able to do the necessary work in the shortest possible time after taking office. Of course, this kind of position," Chang Kaishen smiled slightly, "at least it is not suitable to load documents now."

"You have forgotten the name of my friend Zhan Guoqiang, and no one has removed him from his position as the head of the party."

"Those who will be removed should be removed," Chang Kaishen said quietly, "You understand that the unwelcome situation of the captain makes it impossible for him to go underground and add ......"

"What?"

Chang Kaishen shrugged and sighed.

"Please finish your words," Wu Sibao said angrily, "It's rude to say half a sentence and stop talking." ”

"He's your enemy, why should the vice president consider him? He should be excluded. ”

"How's Dingmo Village?" Wu Sibao asked contemplatively. "Why can't he be the head of the organization, and you be the chief of staff and deputy of his headquarters?"

"Because I don't trust the guy surnamed Ding."

"What basis do you have?"

"Yes"

"Please talk"

Chang Kaishen shook his head, "I can't say, please understand, and I can't do it either." I've never been a whistleblower, don't be embarrassed, and only after you've done your own research on Dingmo Village will you understand that my words are credible. ”

"How will it be tested?" Wu Sibao asked seriously.

"You can ask him to do the work over there."

Wu Sibao couldn't help but wonder, "Why did you let him do the work over there?" ”

Chang Kaishen replied bluntly, "I think what I should say has been said, vice president." ”

Wu Sibao shrugged his shoulders, stood up and walked around the office, and said, "What name do you plan to give us, the secret organization of the Guards officers?" ”

"According to the first set of letters, it is called black one. Thank you so much if you could take Black One as the name of our organization. ”

"Boss, let it go. Think about it and let's start with the Presidential Palace here in Nanjing. Hurry up and equip several of the team's spare bases in Nanjing, because street fighting is about to begin, yes, yes, that's exactly what it is. The frontal battlefield and all the underground lines of communication, everything should be familiar to you, so that you can find your way through this labyrinth, just like a monk would chant sutras. ”

"Why don't you shoot a bullet in your forehead? Captain. Zhan Guoqiang put his soft and delicate hand on Li Guangyuan's shoulder and asked, "I promise to hold a grand funeral for you." ”

"I am a logician," replied Li Guangyuan, "and a man like me is afraid of speeding up the course of events too much and falling to the ground with a thud, and only after an hour does he realize that the living still need you." ”

"But it's in my best interest that you're dead."

"So, someone bears the responsibility for the failure of the negotiations?"

Zhan Guoqiang sighed, "Of course." Okay, frankly, what did you talk about with Chang Kaishen? ”

"Activities in Yan'an."

"Honestly, how did he subdue you?"

"With knowledge. He knows more than I know, he knows everything......"

"If he had known, you'd be hanged on the torture rack, and I'd be locked up with the people over there. He just knows what he should know. Now I need your people again. There is also a person through whom he can report lies to your new patron Chang Kaishen. It should be interesting to you that even though you've done things badly, why can I talk to you openly and honestly? ”

"I didn't do it!"

"And who is it?"

"We, we guys. First of all, your men. ”

"Have you ever thought about what you said?"

"I've thought about it a lot, and I've often wondered why you're still being so upfront with me despite making things worse?"

"Because you already know that it is irrational to tie yourself and Chang Kaishen firmly. Our spies will be able to get out in the future. He's a secret policeman, doomed to drown, have you really been to him? ”

"Yes."

"Did he call you? Still carrying me? ”

"You already know all this, captain, I think that when I sent my people over near the blockade line, our officer at the 'window' had been bribed by Chang Kaishen. In any case, this 'window' is your private and has not been filed in the materials of the secret police. Chang Kaishen found out about my people through this officer. They put 'tails' on the old man's back. Because the positions of the Northeast guerrillas in the north are still very strong, according to my plan and yours, the target of my men is the leader over there. He connected his men to the men over there; It's just that I'm too young, I've just started to do espionage work, and I still lack experience, so I'm exposed. Because he is a person under my name, Chang Kaishen retreated me to the point where there is no way out. He told me less than a percent of what he knew, but he knew everything, and I had to report our conversation to him. These laws of the jungle are abominable, but this is not my business after all......"

"I didn't drive it, either. What would you like to tell them about our conversation? ”

"The part you have given permission for."

"Chang Kaishen is working for Minister Wu Sibao, you know this very well."

"There is no shadow of Wu Sibao at this stage, captain."

"Because of his contempt for the people around him, poor Wu Sibao's heart is broken, Lao Li, he continues to live with a broken heart."

"It's some kind of conspiracy to manipulate me." Li Guangyuan said in his heart. "They all know about it, and I can't figure it out. They're teasing me, and if I don't understand the weight of each move, then my time of death is clearly near. Whether it's Chang Kaishen or Mei Sipin, why are they all playing their own tricks? They exchanged views? It seems that this is the case, they are too similar in their conversation on certain issues, and there is no difference in the slightest. Still, it's good for me. A fanatical force brought them together, each of them clear about his role, and their conversation was bound to stammer, repeat each other. ”

"Where," Li Guangyuan finally spoke again, "If the liver, kidneys, and brain function normally, you can cope with it with a broken heart and live for a while." If a person's heart is broken by arrogant contempt, and he has something in his head that others do not expect, then he can survive"

"Well, you are a smart person, so I forgive you, if it were someone else, no matter who it is, I will not forgive. That said, there is no need for me to hide anything from you. If I confirmed your rebellion, you know what I would do, we are not students, and we have to use empty words to intimidate each other before fighting. That's it, if you know what my boss and I are thinking, what the heirs of the party are thinking, and what those who matter so big are talking about in the office, then neither I nor you can understand Wu Sibao's mind. He's thinking very specifically about what he's going to do in the near future, and you don't notice? ”

"I think you're mistaken, he and Mr. Wang are inseparable."

"Lao Li, you don't need it. He was inseparable from Mr. Wang's assistant, but betrayed him. He had a close relationship with his former idol Chen Dakuan, but participated in the execution of him. Any idea why I talked to you so frankly? You know, we've never disclosed the essence of the problem so clearly, you know? ”

"I don't understand!"

"The communist army is about to attack Nanjing, Lao Li, this is the end. Although we can delay their actions in the northern highlands of Jiangsu. Last night the captain of the guard reported to the top that there were more troops than we were. Yes, that's it. I heard it with my own ears. Are you going to die under the rubble of your mansion? I didn't want to, so I reached out to you, and if you catch it and swear that you're only working for my cause, then we'll both get out of here, maybe the three of us. ”

"Who is the third party?"

Zhan Guoqiang didn't speak out for a long time: "What if it's Chang Kaishen?" ”

"You had a good relationship in my absence?"

"You won't have a good relationship with him, but you can have a working relationship. His career is his life, so he is ready to put his life on the line. ”

"But don't you think Chang Kaishen is the magic code that caused you to fall into a catastrophe?"

"It's for us," Mr. Zhan corrected. "We, Li Guangyuan, shouldn't go it alone, shouldn't." Chang Kaishen has information that we can't think of. He dealt with the case on 'top secret documents', and I only participated in foreign operations. He investigated alone in Nanjing, he kept a hand, and he would never tear down all the bridges. I am convinced that he left some kind of support point, waiting for the new guests from Yan'an. ”

"Maybe the radio operator who broke into the interior is also waiting for a guest?" Li Guangyuan thought to himself, "Why not? Maybe the first guest was me. ”

Zhan Guoqiang lit a "Lao Dao" brand cigarette, watched the waxed matches burn out seriously, and then threw the match stalk into the ashtray with his right hand like an orchestra conductor. He went on to say, "He had dealings with the secret cell of the spy agency over there, and I went there at the end of 1938, and you probably remember the work. ”

"Of course I do," Li replied.

(How can you not remember?) The failure of the team almost cost him his head, and an underground worker, unable to withstand the torture and betrayal, gave a testimony that, fortunately, he never took over him, and his connector jumped out of the window of the inspector's office. )

"He's in charge of the case, and he knows there's someone in the team who is lurking. Since he was in charge of the case, I will not mention the participants in the 20th of July conspiracy, many of whom are well known. There are people on the Japanese side who want to spy on the secrets of our spy agency in Nanjing, and they are not very interested in the above situation, and this interest will become greedy and unstoppable in the future. ”

"They are now concerned about everything related to the general's conspiracy, captain," Li Guangyuan noted. "He needs a myth, and he's interested in the case, and you don't believe it. You're right, now their minds are full of communist intelligence networks within the empire. Do you think that if Chang Kaishen had taken our case file with him, he would not have been hanged? ”

"If he was captured immediately after the defeat, they might have hanged him in a hurry. But know that there is an important premise in the conditions of our mission not to be arrested, especially in the first months. In the future, it will not be so cute, people's hot heads will calm down, and after the mood is stable, they will need to do things, do serious things. ”

"Do you think Chang Kaishen also knows how to escape?"

"There is no doubt about it. He's better prepared than anyone."

"Is there a fact?"

"There are facts. I know these family histories, Lao Li, and I have already hinted at him. He is valuing all kinds of forces, and he has valuing mine. His knowledge of the Communist Party issues makes our coalition particularly valuable, and we will become some kind of consulting firm, which will be paid in cash after the project is completed, and the money will be remitted to a neutral area, and we will guarantee the quality. In order for my idea to become a reality, we need two people, one of whom must be very fluent in English. My guy has an excellent set of cards. He had to get these cards. Before that, send him to participate in an operation. ”

"What kind of action is it?"

"You sent him abroad. I'll talk about what he's doing in there, and I'll give him the name of the person he's looking for. What purpose? I want to save the prisoners who are destined to be executed in prison. ”

"First of all, I don't know who I'm dealing with at the moment, captain; Secondly, I can't imagine what I'm going to ask this person to do, and we don't pretend that anyone is a useful person. ”

Zhan Guoqiang lit another cigarette, didn't seem to hear Li Guangyuan's question, and then went down to his own words, "The first person is codenamed Dagger." Zhan Guoqiang pushed a case file on the table in front of Li Guangyuan, "You can take a look in Riji's office, and you will return it to me when it is over." This is an incredible woman, first of all she is beautiful, and secondly she is very capable. Her mother was Russian. You must have her contact within two or three days and be sent to Stockholm, no later than that. There, she disguised herself as a doctor of literature and an expert on ancient Scandinavian culture. What she had to do was to find a count, not stay in the library and delve into what Chinese and European cultures had in common. Do you understand? I'm going to start this round of waltz with the earl, Li Guangyuan. Chang Kaishen hinted that Wu Sibao already knows your name, and you have met with the captain in charge of secret work in Yan'an, isn't that so? Wu Sibao is obviously interested in you, so you are protected. For a period of time, he avoided all kinds of accidents from Ding Mo Village or Chang Kaishen. However, if Wu Sibao's knowledge over there jeopardizes my career, I will personally execute you, right in this office. Do you see what I mean? ”

"I understand I'm being squeezed into the corner, Captain. I think my every step will be watched, and I feel like someone is looking for falsehoods in every word I say. Why, it's even more interesting than survival? But executing me, and it's not appropriate to be in this office, will give you a terrible retort that will be difficult to remedy. Can I go? ”

Zhan Guoqiang's eyes were straight, and he showed a sickly expression in the daylight, and asked in a sarcastic but generous tone, "Are you crazy?" ”

"I'm going to die like everyone else, but not because of insanity"

"Excuse me, what do you mean by intimidating me?"

"No, I won't tell you"

"How dare you, Lao Li!"

"I dare!" Li Guangyuan interrupted Zhan Guoqiang's words and stood up, "It's all over, captain, everything." There are no superiors, no subordinates. There are wise people and fools, learned people and ignorant people. With failure, society is divided, beauty and savagery are exposed, and there is no forgiveness but truth. People who have heads on their shoulders and can recognize and remember will live. So now you are in no way inferior to me in my interest in you. If not, may the Bodhisattva bless you. I'm not afraid of death. Because I secretly prayed, even though Mr. Wang forbade it. ”

Zhan Guoqiang stood up from the table and paced the room with his hands behind his back weakly, and then he stood in front of the dense glass and pasted the word "rice" with a strip of paper, which was used to prevent the glass from being broken by the explosion and splashing fragments everywhere. He sighed and said bitterly, "I like you more, Li Guangyuan, a good villain." All in all, everything is true, we, the upper strata lost the country. You have the right to have your own opinions, and everyone has their own rights. Go and find out for me there a smart, unfortunate and already hopeless man. He must liaise with your men at the appointed location and make contact with the upper echelons of Yan'an as my personal representative. After you report to me, 'He is ready to act, and if he betrays us, I will kill myself,' I will tell you what deal he is going to make and what price he is making. What do you think about going around such a bend? ”

Li Guangyuan stood up and said lazily, "I don't have an idea, obey the order!" ”

……

Chang Kaishen stared at Li Guangyuan sluggishly, his face full of gloom.

"Yes," he finally spoke, "you have correctly seen every move of mine. I have indeed started to act. Yes, I did have an agreement with that side to coordinate certain steps. Yes, I do have a dossier that I can do with their people in the near future. Yes, my subordinates do have to report your every move to me, but more importantly, he must not be picked up by Zhan Guoqiang while you do what Zhan Guoqiang commands. So don't worry, Shi Li Guangyuan, don't be in a hurry and don't want to expose yourself in front of Wu Sibao, like in front of me. Ahem, Zhan Guoqiang and I have to judge what others think. Wu Sibao does not have this ability because he has never done actual work. It's easy to give orders, but it's hard to execute them. ”

Chang Kaishen stood up, walked to the safe, unscrewed the thick cabinet door, took out a dossier, and put it in front of Li Guangyuan.

"This is the case file of Dingmo Village. Don't worry about the confusion. This unfortunate man is an incorrigible eccentric. But what is gathered here will explain why I hope to be saved. I'm referring to the fight between the Americans and the Russians. Only then will it be possible for us to continue to exist. Look at it, I believe you like I believe in myself, look at it, you should know something about it."

"Intelligence sources close to the White House informed me that back in the summer of 19 years ago. President Roosevelt ordered the formation of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau. This is an organization responsible for gathering political intelligence and conducting counter-propaganda. “

"The agency was staffed by fifty-eight-year-old Bill; Joseph. Dunovan is in charge. As Roosevelt originally envisioned, the Strategic Intelligence Bureau was subordinate to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Dunovan eventually separated the Strategic Intelligence Agency from the military.

The presiding officer of the affair was Hoover, a Republican who was systematically called a "barbarian", that is, the admirer of the "iron fist" figure, the fifty-eight-year-old Dunovan; He was an open opponent of the ruling Roosevelt Democrats, an Irishman by character who denied any authority, including his own, of course. He is a millionaire and the owner of a law firm that works for the uncrowned kings of Wall Street. Immediately after being appointed director of the Strategy Bureau, "Bill the Barbarian" came into conflict with one of Roosevelt's close confidants, the dramatist Robert Sherwood, who was the draftsman of all the president's priorities, and was therefore the first person to be sent to the "bureau."

Any proposition is carried out in practice under the influence of those who are in charge of the day-to-day affairs, and often the people who revise even the best plan are not the ones who put forward the ideas, but the very ones who are responsible for turning them into reality.

According to Roosevelt's initial thought, the Strategy Bureau should be subordinate to the land and sea. However, as a veteran of the United States' three highest awards and participated in World War I, the Joint Staff of the Air Force, Dunovan, was able to dissociate the Strategic Bureau from the Army and Navy.

Dunovan was a brilliant tactician, and he was adept at playing with the bowl, and he recruited many cadres and soldiers who came from West Point and were considered to be in the Army system to the Strategic Bureau. This practice stabilized the generals; Then the "Barbarian Bill" opened the door of the Strategy Bureau to the "clerical staff", who represented the interests of the guilds and the banks. Because it has long been a practice in the United States that the financial support of schools usually comes not from the state, but from guilds, and that schools must repay this funding with the results of scientific research, famous professors from the most prestigious universities and leaders of industry and finance participate in the strategic bureau.

When Duovan gathered a staff of loyal people around him, initially famous figures included Louis Ream, the representative of the "American Steel Corporation", the multi-millionaire of Hawaiian capital, Agerton Richards, the professor at Harvard University, James Clarton Rogers, the New York banker, and the director of the Strategy Bureau

"Friends, if you want to do anything, you should figure out what outcome we want to see. If we look into the eyes of the State Department bureaucrats, we will not move forward.
