Chapter 170: Dark Clouds
The reason why Kawasaki Hiroshi praised Lu Chengzhou was not only because of Lu Chengzhou's surveillance of Nozaki and resolutely fought back.
The most important thing is that he reports the truth to himself as soon as possible.
If Lu Chengzhou didn't say it, he would instruct someone to rob Zhang Sichang, although Kawasaki Hiroshi wouldn't mind, there would always be a thorn in his heart.
Lu Chengzhou took the initiative to report, which made him very pleased.
This shows that Lu Chengzhou is very sincere in front of him, whether in the past or now.
This is especially rare for an intelligence officer.
The reason why Kawasaki Hiroshi admires Lu Chengzhou is also because of this.
"Kawasaki-sensei, I'll go back first." Lu Chengzhou said respectfully.
"Okay, in the future, Zhang Sichang's side will only pass on general information. If you have important information, you still have to go through the dead letter. Hiroshi Kawasaki said suddenly.
asked Zhang Sichang to be a liaison to Lu Chengzhou because Lu Chengzhou was under the supervision of the military commander, and if he wanted to pass on daily information, he had to throw off the tail behind him.
The military commander revoked the surveillance of Lu Chengzhou, and Zhang Sichang's role as a liaison became dispensable.
This time, Zhang Sichang monitored Lu Chengzhou and did not report to Kawasaki Hiroshi in time, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing goods, Zhang Sichang's approach made Kawasaki Hong's impression of him greatly discounted.
"Hey." Lu Chengzhou bowed and said solemnly.
Kawasaki Hong's arrangement let Lu Chengzhou know that Zhang Sichang will definitely stand aside in his own line in the future.
As for Nozaki, let him spy on Zhang Sichang, Lu Chengzhou didn't take it to heart.
Nozaki did this more to eliminate the anger in his heart.
Zhang Sichang monitored Lu Chengzhou, and after being discovered by Lu Chengzhou, he may have broken Lu Chengzhou's heart.
Now, letting Lu Chengzhou spy on Zhang Sichang in turn is also to calm Lu Chengzhou's anger.
It's just that Lu Chengzhou saw through Nozaki's mind at a glance.
Nozaki's mission, Lu Chengzhou will remember, but he will not carry it out now.
Lu Chengzhou left the back gate of No. 22 Comber South Road, turned around, and went around to the main street.
As a patrol officer, it is reasonable for Lu Chengzhou to appear in his jurisdiction whenever he appears.
"Patrol, why are you here again?" Wang Siguang had sharp eyes, and he saw Lu Chengzhou wearing a bicycle from a distance.
"Why, don't you want me, or don't you dare to let me come?" Lu Chengzhou parked the bicycle in front of Wang Siguang, supported the ground with one foot, took out a cigarette, and threw one over.
After Lu Chengzhou came into contact with Zhang Baotou and others, he found that smoke may not be good for the body, but it is greatly beneficial to communication.
Wang Siguang stretched out his hands with a smile and accurately received Lu Chengzhou's cigarette.
He didn't want to smoke this cigarette, but he took a fancy to the relationship between this cigarette and the transmission.
What does the boss mean when he takes the initiative to smoke?
Moreover, Lu Chengzhou's movements were still so casual, with ridicule in his tone, which made Wang Siguang feel that the position of the deputy inspector seemed to be beckoning to him.
"If the patrol comes every day, I can't wait for it." Wang Siguang said with a smile.
In the evening, Lu Chengzhou was at home and waited for Li Xiangxue as promised.
"A few days ago, the Japanese arranged for Zhang Sichang to spy on me." Lu Chengzhou led Li Xiangxue to the room on the second floor, closed the curtains, and looked down from the side, and only after finding no other abnormalities did he tighten the curtains.
"What? Are you suspected by the Japanese? Li Xiangxue was taken aback.
"Not really, it's just their routine inspection. It is even possible that it was Nozaki's private behavior. Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
reported in detail about Zhang Sichang's surveillance.
"You still have to be careful." Li Xiangxue reminded.
At the same time, he also told himself that Lu Chengzhou's most important identity was a spy of the Japanese secret service.
The joint of the residence of Lu Chengzhou is really a little inappropriate.
"I'll take notice." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
In the afternoon, he met with Nozaki, and although Nozaki said it sincerely, he also admitted that he had sent Zhang Sichang to spy on him.
However, Lu Chengzhou felt that Nozaki would not give up.
He taught Zhang Sichang a lesson, although he was angry, would Nozaki think that this was a lack of heart?
Japanese people are very stubborn, or they are all paranoid, and it is difficult to change their minds about things that they believe.
If you find out that Nozaki still has small movements, you have to change the way.
"I'm here today to tell you one thing, the Northern Bureau has been safely evacuated to Beiping." Li Xiangxue suddenly held Lu Chengzhou's hand tightly and said with a smile.
The Northern Bureau was in the British Concession and was discovered by the military commander twice, but both times there was no danger.
If it weren't for Lu Chengzhou's accurate information, the Northern Bureau would probably not have escaped its fate.
"Great." Lu Chengzhou said happily, and at the same time, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"The head of the Northern Bureau, let me convey my thanks to you. At the same time, praise you again. Li Xiangxue said with a smile.
"It is my mission to work for the party." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
"Coming to you, there is another thing, the Northern Bureau and the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, although they have moved away. But the city council remains in the British Concession and needs you to cover in secret. Li Xiangxue said slowly.
This is the real intention of him to find Lu Chengzhou, the Haigu Municipal Party Committee has changed a lot during this time, and the main responsible persons of the Municipal Party Committee have changed several times.
This is not only because the struggle is cruel and the situation is complicated, but also because some comrades in the party are not firm in their will.
"This is my duty and obligation." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
To protect the party's organs, there is no need for Li Xiangxue to emphasize, Lu Chengzhou will also use his life to maintain it.
"No. 3 along Twenty-Six Road, there will be a couple." Li Xiangxue said slowly.
The city party committee has carefully studied where to set up the organs of the city party committee.
In the end, it is still the provincial party committee that makes the decision, and it must be arranged in the jurisdiction of Lu Chengzhou.
Only in this way can the security of the organs of the municipal party committee be most effectively guaranteed.
"Twenty-six?" Lu Chengzhou frowned.
"No. 3 along No. 26 Road, which was originally an intelligence station of our party, has now been upgraded to an organ of the municipal party committee. If you don't think it's appropriate, it's too late to change places. Li Xiangxue said.
"Since it's the organization's decision, I don't have any opinion." Lu Chengzhou thought for a while and said.
In fact, he felt that the municipal party committee office was more suitable to be arranged on No. 24 Road, No. 51 Road, or Comber South Road.
Even to Road 25, it is stronger than Road 26.
After all, the governor of Road 25 is Deng Zehua, and Road 26 is Jia Ming's territory.
Of course, Lu Chengzhou didn't want to complain to the organization, let alone put forward any conditions, and if there were any problems, he would find a way to solve them.
"Although you know the organs of the municipal party committee, you cannot have any contact with the municipal party committee without permission." Li Xiangxue admonished.
"I still know the organizing principles." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
The fact that the municipal party committee organ put it on No. 26 Road is the organization's absolute trust in him.
However, Lu Chengzhou can only protect secretly.
In order to protect the absolute safety of the municipal party committee organs, Lu Chengzhou made a lot of preparations.
No matter what accidents occur, the municipal party committee must not have accidents.
"There is another thing, the municipal party committee decided to open a bookstore next to the National Hotel in the French Concession." Li Xiangxue said slowly.
"What do you need me to do?" Lu Cheng was stunned and asked immediately.
The matter of the French Concession has nothing to do with him, but since Li Xiangxue talked about it, it must have something to do with him.
"You also know that the funds of the party organization have not been sufficient." Li Xiangxue glanced at Lu Chengzhou and said with some embarrassment.
The entire Haigu underground organization has lived a relatively hard life.
Only Lu Chengzhou can not only receive subsidies from the Japanese secret services and military commanders, but also the salary of the police force.
At the same time, he also does some business in private, which is really rich.
"It's an HSBC cheque, two thousand yuan." Lu Chengzhou did not hesitate, turned around and took out a check from the book in the drawer and handed it to Li Xiangxue.
"Two thousand won?" Li Xiangxue was taken aback.
Organizational funding has always been tight, but bookstores must be opened, not only as a liaison station, but also as a window for CCP propaganda.
"Not enough? I'll have to let go for a few more days. Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Enough, enough. I think you're a rich man. Li Xiangxue said with a smile.
"The money of the military commanders and the Japanese secret services is not earned in vain." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
"I'll report this money to the organization and give you an IOU at that time." Li Xiangxue said.
"This is my party fee, what IOU do I want to make?" Lu Chengzhou's eyes widened, and he pretended to be dissatisfied.
After entering 1937, Lu Chengzhou clearly felt that the atmosphere of war had shrouded the sky over the entire north of China.
From February 15 to 21, 1937, the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang was held in Nanjing, and the declaration adopted by the plenary session affirmed the principles of peaceful reunification, expanding democracy, and opening up speech in domestic policy.
After the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, he accepted the CCP's proposal of uniting to resist insults and "stopping the civil war and unanimously resisting Japan".
During this time, Lu Chengzhou listened to the radio every day, read the newspaper, and always paid attention to the content of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee.
Japan, on the other hand, is also actively preparing.
In the past few days, Lu Chengzhou has to report to Kawasaki Hiroshi every day that he has collected intelligence.
At the same time, listen to Hiroshi Kawasaki and convey new instructions.
At the beginning, they also met at No. 22 South Comber Road, and later, Kawasaki Hiroshi gave way to Chengzhou, and took time to go to Haiguang Temple every day to report to the staff headquarters of the North China Garrison Army.
In order to undermine China's anti-Japanese national united front and achieve its actual goal of occupying North China, the Japanese side clearly stipulates that under the new situation, measures will be taken against the Nanjing regime so that the regime will essentially recognize the special status of North China.
At the same time, Japan has stepped up its economic, political, and military preparations for North China.
For example, economically, the plundering of North China's resources has been intensified.
The specific measures were: rushing to build the Jinshi Railway, monopolizing the cotton industry in North China, restoring the Longyan Iron Mine, and buying the Yanshan Coal Mine.
Politically, the pace of specialization in North China should be strengthened.
Lu Chengzhou often contacted Chen Deming and others, and divided the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the 38th Division, and was one of them.
As for the military front, the Japanese army has long been fully prepared and has frequently held exercises.
All this shows that the dark clouds of war have hung over North China, and war is about to break out.
