Chapter 1291: Infighting
Participating in today's celebration, Wang Qinghai is still a figure, but Shi Dongliang, like Zhu Muyun, is dispensable. After listening to He Peilu's speech, they prepared to withdraw.
He Peilu's speech trumpeted the invincibility of the Japanese army. He also called on all officials in Hubei Province to actively cooperate with the imperial army and realize the common prosperity of Greater East Asia at an early date. Zhu Muyun noticed that He Peilu's speech seemed to be decent, but what he had been emphasizing was Hubei Province, and he did not mention anything about the Nanjing government and Mr. Wang.
He Peilu's Republican Party of the Republic of China has all been dissolved, and all of them have joined the Kuomintang. And He Peilu also served as a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang and a senior official in Hubei.
"The speech of the senior official is from a high position, let's take a closer look at the card table." Zhu Muyun called Shi Dongliang, Sun Minghua, and Yu Guohui over, and said with a smile.
"If you let outsiders hear this, there will be no good fruit to eat." Sun Minghua scolded with a smile, if this kind of words reach the ears of those people above, they will definitely be unhappy.
"We don't have outsiders here, and we play the cards well in order to better cooperate with the imperial army's southward strategy." Shi Dongliang said that these scenes can be used to coax the Japanese and deceive the people, but they have no meaning for them.
"I had the room open upstairs, and the table was already set up. It's too noisy here, so just touch it a few times early, and when it's done here, just come down and show your face. Zhu Muyun said.
He wasn't worried that his words would get out. Even if it gets out, he is not afraid. Didn't you just ridicule a high-ranking official? If it is really a judgment, he is not afraid. In her speech, He Peilu did not mention the Nanjing government at all, let alone Mr. Wang. With this alone, you don't dare to make trouble for yourself.
In the next few days, good news came every day, and the Japanese army marched all the way, attacking the city and plundering the land. On the 9th, the Southern Army invaded Malaysia, landed in the Philippines and attacked Guam on the 10th, broke into Hong Kong on the 19th, and attacked Wake Island on the 23rd.
The Japanese Navy, hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor, bombed Davao City in Mindanao, followed by Clark Airfield and Naval Base Carvit.
On December 9, 1941, Manila was bombed. On December 10, 1941, two days after the Japanese landed at Apari and Vigan in North Luzon, they landed at Legaspi in South Luzon.
The Japanese army in Guxing celebrated all day long, and everyone felt that the whole of Southeast Asia was Japanese. Zhu Muyun also celebrated, during this time, he helped the Japanese, and he really did some real things.
For example, he helped Matsumoto Yunosuke successfully get the Kosei Electric Light Company. The current Guxing Electric Light Company has officially changed its name to Huazhong Hydropower Co., Ltd.
In addition, Aiden's Ford Motor Company was also bought by Baili Automobile and Horse Company. Of course, the boss behind the scenes is still Zhu Muyun. The price is unimaginably low, only two hundred dollars. Even if you sell the auto parts of the foreign company as scrap metal, it is more than this price. However, if Aiden does not sell at this price, not only will he not get a penny, but he will not be able to guarantee his safety.
There is also the villa of Moore, the owner of the Guxing Electric Light Company, and the foreign car in his name. Although it was not directly assigned to Zhu Muyun's name, it also became his private property. The list goes on and on. With the Japanese advancing south, Zhu Muyun really made a windfall.
Especially real estate, which is targeted by the Japanese, he can't do it. But there are many British, American, and Canadian overseas Chinese businessmen in Guxing, and Zhu Muyun still picked up a lot of fish that slipped through the net.
Zhu Muyun doesn't like to rent a house, which is different from the military commander. The military commander is active in Guxing, and he always likes to rent some suitable houses for underground work. The advantage of renting a house is that it is flexible and mobile, and the disadvantages are also obvious, and it is easy to leave traces.
The house you bought only needs to find a suitable person at that time and turn it around a few times, even if something happens in the future, you can't find Zhu Muyun. For example, No. 163 Klemansha Street was originally bought by Zhu Muyun and then resold to the military command for use. After the exposure, the Political Security Bureau did not dwell on the owner of the house. All they had to do was know that the property was owned by the military.
Zhu Muyun is "working for the tiger" every day, and while looting property for the Japanese, he also makes a lot of money. No special attention was paid to the affairs of the military command.
Last time, the Political Security Bureau accurately knew the news that Luo Zeqian was the head of the military commander Guxing and arrived in Guxing. At that time, Zhu Muyun was concerned, and passed the headquarters in time to warn Luo Zeqian. But then, he received a telegram from Deng Xiangtao through his personal relationship: Some things may not be appreciated.
As soon as Zhu Muyun saw it, he knew that he was talking about Luo Zeqian's incident last time. The Political Security Bureau knew Luo Zeqian's news, and of course he couldn't sit idly by. But looking at Deng Xiangtao's telegram, he was obviously dissatisfied with his own approach.
Soon, Zhu Muyun thought it through, Deng Xiangtao should indeed be angry. Luo Zeqian is Deng Xiangtao's successor, and with Deng Xiangtao's character, he may not be willing to be this successor to become famous in Guxinggan. If Luo Zeqian stumbled in Guxing, Deng Xiangtao would be secretly happy in his heart.
Perhaps, in desperation, the Military Command Bureau can only let Deng Xiangtao return to Guxing to preside over the overall situation. The last time he gave a warning, he let Luo Zeqian escape in time, and made Deng Xiangtao happy.
Such a conclusion surprised Zhu Muyun. For the sake of personal interests, can Deng Xiangtao sit back and watch something happen to the military commanders? With Zhu Muyun's understanding of Deng Xiangtao, he can definitely do this kind of thing. Luo Zeqian, the ancient star stationmaster, will inevitably not get the support of Deng Yangchun and Shen Yunhao.
Zhu Muyun felt very sad, fortunately he had joined the Communist Party a long time ago, otherwise, when he figured it out, he would be very sad in his heart.
Although Zhu Muyun figured this out, he couldn't do it if he wanted to sit idly by. No matter how Luo Zeqian is, he is also the Guxing stationmaster sent by the bureau. Once he is really in danger, even if he doesn't make a move in the name of "rooster" and let Yu Xinyu hear some news, he can still do it.
In terms of military reunification, Zhu Muyun also has his own principles. If it weren't for Luo Zeqian's dangerous things, he could turn a blind eye. However, once Luo Zeqian may have an accident, he still has to do it. Deng Xiangtao wanted to fight, but he didn't support it.
Watching the anti-Japanese forces deplete because of infighting is a crime if it is not stopped. Crimes against the state and the nation!
It's just that the information about the ancient star station is suddenly gone. Sun Minghua also borrowed a camera before, and received special funds, which must be for Luo Zeqian. But after such a long time, I didn't come to apply for film, and obviously the camera didn't play a role.
In the afternoon, Zhu Muyun saw the secret letter Xu Wei left for him, and asked to go to No. 12 Siwei Road to meet. Zhu Muyun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed over. During this time, he often shows up outside the office, and others are used to it.
"What's wrong?" After Zhu Muyun saw Xu Zhi, he asked nervously. He and Xu Shi generally don't meet, and once Xu Shi or himself sends a signal asking to meet, something special must have happened.
"The family requested that in the next few days, we should pay close attention to the situation of the Sixth Division in Guchang." Xu Shi said slowly.
"Going to do it?" Zhu Muyun said in surprise that his family had an idea before that he wanted to do something to the Sixth Division and support the Changsha Campaign on the side. But the situation changed at that time, and in the end the attack on Guchang was not launched.
But now, the Japanese army is delusional and wants to continue the third battle of Changsha. This time, the Japanese army did not aim to defeat the Ninth Theater. Rather, it was to contain the Chinese army from moving south to support, because the Japanese army had already captured Hong Kong. At this time, the main forces of the Japanese army in Central China were all concentrated on the Changsha line. If the New Fourth Army suddenly attacked Guchang at this time, the Japanese army would not be able to mobilize troops to support it at all.
"Not bad." Xu Wei nodded, Zhu Muyun was worthy of engaging in intelligence, and he saw the result at a glance.
"Dates?" Zhu Muyun asked.
"This date is not decided by us, but depends on when the Japanese will start in Changsha. Once they start a campaign, in order to cooperate with the frontal battlefield, our troops will fiercely attack the 6th Division. If the time comes, the 6th Division will be eliminated. Xu said that the New Fourth Army has this strength, and it doesn't even need to dispatch all the troops.
"During this time, various organs of the ancient star often held various banquets to celebrate the victory of the Japanese army, and the commanders of the Sixth Division were all invited. The last time I played cards with Shi Dongliang, I didn't hear that they had stepped up their guard recently. Zhu Muyun said.
"Do they still want to celebrate?" Xu Zhi snorted coldly.
"That's a good thing, I feel like they're celebrating for us." Zhu Muyun smiled and said that although the Japanese army won one after another on the southern front, this was only the early stage. Once the United States and Britain come to their senses, it will be time for the Japanese to finish.
"In the near future, if we can let the commander of the Sixth Division often appear in Guxing, it will also be beneficial to our attack." Xu said.
"No problem, I'll try to figure it out. It's a pity that Deng Xiangtao is no longer in Guxing, otherwise the inside line he planted among us can also play a role in confusing the enemy. Zhu Muyun sighed.
"Deng Xiangtao is gone, isn't there a Luo Zeqian? Our people have noticed that the two of them have connected their heads. Xu Wei said that all the intelligence officers in Deng Xiangtao's possession, except for Zhu Muyun, the rest of the personnel and relationships were transferred to Luo Zeqian.
"No wonder Deng Xiangtao hates Luo Ze to the core." Zhu Muyun suddenly realized that everything that Deng Xiangtao had worked hard to manage in Guxing had made a wedding dress for Luo Zeqian, and it was strange that he could be happy in his heart.
"Luo Zeqian is also a staunch anti-communist, so the focus of our offensive will still be on Guyang." Xu said.
"Actually, no matter where we put it, the Japanese army can't send troops to support it." Zhu Muyun said.
"Gu Xing's troops, already tense to this extent?" Xu Shi said in surprise that if the Japanese army could not be dispatched, then the New Fourth Army would have to show its skills.
