Chapter 1290: The Death Knell
Regarding Deng Yangchun's proposal, Luo Zeqian did not agree immediately. Deng Xiangtao and Shen Yunhao are both Deng Xiangtao's people, and for him, the Operations Department and Intelligence Department of Guxing Station are not in his own hands.
"Special times, special treatment. It is neither realistic nor necessary for these people to be sent back to Chongqing. It's up to us to review it ourselves. Luo Zeqian said slowly.
"We review, what if something goes wrong?" Shen Yunhao asked, after he saw Luo Zeqian, he felt a deep hostility.
"I'm in charge of it, how can it go wrong? Besides, isn't there still you? Luo Zeqian said.
The new Guxing stationmaster took office and had nothing to do with Zhu Muyun. He is now an independent intelligence officer in the possession of the headquarters, and there are two ways to receive missions, through the relay of Yu Xinyu, and also to receive specific code information from the radio.
However, Zhu Muyun was in the Political Security Bureau when he suddenly heard a news that Luo Zeqian, the new Guxing stationmaster of the military command, had arrived in Guxing. This surprised him very much, and he only learned about this from Yu Xinyu, why is the news of the Political Security Bureau so well-informed.
Is there a problem with Chongqing, or is there a problem with Guxing? If there is a problem in Chongqing, then it is easy to say. But if something goes wrong with Gu Xing, Luo Zeqian, the newly appointed military commander Gu Xing, is afraid that he will not be able to serve for a long time.
"Mu Yun, can you apply for two cameras and a special fund?" Sun Minghua found Zhu Muyun's office and asked.
Although Zhu Muyun has not yet taken up his post in the General Affairs Office, he is already in charge of the affairs of the General Affairs Office. Even if Zhu Muyun doesn't go to the General Affairs Office, he has to nod his head for everything. The work of the General Affairs Office is money and goods. As long as these two things are involved, he must sign them.
"What do you mean by applying for two cameras? You make a phone call, and I'll have someone send it over, isn't it okay? Zhu Muyun smiled and said that after Song Peng was transferred to the second place, Sun Minghua's mood improved significantly.
"The rules still have to be followed, and it is precisely because we have a good relationship that we can't let others gossip." Sun Minghua said with a smile.
"Deng Xiangtao has fled, the underground party does not dare to move, you adjust two cameras at a time, did you find a big fish?" Zhu Muyun asked casually.
"That's a must." Sun Minghua smiled and didn't say much. He knew that Zhu Muyun was not interested in these things, he was just bored and wanted to find a topic.
Zhu Muyun didn't ask again, when he reported to Li Bangfan in the morning, Li Bangfan said that Luo Zeqian, the new stationmaster of the military command, had arrived in Guxing. Sun Minghua was so cautious, he must have discovered Luo Zeqian's whereabouts.
The matter of Guxing Station originally had nothing to do with Zhu Muyun. However, when it came to Luo Zeqian's safety, he had to inform Yu Xinyu. Luo Zeqian received the telegram forwarded by the headquarters, and was very surprised, he had only arrived in Guxing, why was he discovered by the Political Security Bureau?
"Stationmaster, there's no way we're going to reveal our whereabouts." Xiong Binghou swore that he was Luo Zeqian's secretary and was also responsible for the daily work of Guxing Station.
"As soon as we arrived in Guxing, the Political Security Bureau immediately knew, which was really strange." Luo Zeqian muttered.
"Stationmaster, let's move first, maybe someone is already watching outside." Xiong Binghou reminded.
"Wang Yonghua, you immediately send a report to the bureau to verify this matter." Luo Zeqian said immediately.
Because of the timely information, Luo Zeqian immediately transferred and avoided being arrested by the Political Security Bureau. This matter did not attract Luo Zeqian's attention. He is now focused on controlling Guxing Station and making achievements, so that the Chongqing headquarters knows that after he takes office, his achievements are more outstanding than Deng Xiangtao.
On December 8, 1941, as soon as Zhu Muyun arrived at Li Bangfan's office, he heard him listening attentively to the radio. The loudspeaker in the plane, speaking in Japanese, and the tone was very emotional: the invincible Emperor's army, for the benefit of Greater East Asia, has officially engaged the United States.
On 7 December, the Japanese Navy dispatched about 360 planes and 55 warships, led by Nagumo Tadaichi, to attack US warships and airfields at Pearl Harbor twice in succession, sinking and damaging 19 warships, including 8 battleships, and destroying or damaging more than 260 aircraft.
On the same day, more than 400,000 Japanese Southern Army, commanded by Terauchi Toshiichi, divided its troops into several routes to attack Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Burma. In the early hours of this morning, it officially invaded Thailand and bombed the Philippines.
"Bureau, today is the day of the great victory of the imperial army, is there a celebration party at noon?" Zhu Muyun said happily.
His happiness today is indeed from the bottom of his heart. The Japanese army took the initiative to provoke a war against the United States, and although the United States seemed to be defeated, it was very easy for the United States to recover with its national strength. The current Japanese army is already the last madness.
"Wouldn't it be too hasty at noon?" Li Bangfan said slowly that he was indeed happy and proud of the invincible imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire.
"Then at night, this is a great victory for the imperial army, and it is also the most crucial step to achieve the common prosperity of Greater East Asia. If it's night, not only the people in the bureau should be called, but all the important people in the city should be called. Zhu Muyun said.
"Yes, but in the morning, you have a mission. It is necessary to cooperate with East Asia Shipping Co., Ltd. to receive all the ships, wharves and warehouses of the shipping industry such as Swire, Jardine Matheson, and Sanbei Company in the United Kingdom. and then cooperate with Japan's Mitsubishi Company to confiscate the Hutchison egg factory. Li Bangfan said that this is a plan that has been formulated for a long time.
"It's time for the Guxing Electric Light Company to take over, and at the same time, the enterprises, institutions, consulates of the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and other countries in Guxing should all be confiscated." Zhu Muyun said that he hopes that enterprises in Britain, the United States, Canada and other countries will suffer as much losses as possible.
The more these merchants cried back to Japan after they were driven back, the less merciful they would be to Japan in the future. Moreover, by accepting these enterprises, Zhu Muyun can also reap the benefits. Of course, real estate such as businesses, houses, and automobiles must be handed over to Japanese companies. However, those personal belongings, he is not welcome.
Increasing the losses of these merchants is also Zhu Muyun's task. Neither the military commander nor the underground party would give him such a task. But Zhu Muyun felt that he was also resisting Japan, and he was sounding the death knell for the Japanese in advance. Now the more extortion they have, the more they hate the Japanese. These hatreds will eventually turn into anger against the Japanese, changing planes, artillery and bullets, and pouring anger on the heads of the Japanese soldiers.
"You're right, there's no need to rush the celebration. There will be more good news in the future. Li Bangfan said with a smile.
"We have to celebrate today, and we can celebrate our victories in the future. I think, how about staying at the Dunman Hotel? Zhu Muyun said that it can be said that it is the most upscale hotel in Guxing, and it is the most suitable to hold a celebration. Former dignitaries and foreign correspondents often operate there.
"You go ahead and arrange it." Li Bangfan said.
The news of Japan's southward expansion strategy has long been spread throughout the world through radio stations. Although Japan submitted a war letter to the United States very soon before starting the war. However, the United States still believes that this is a despicable and shameless sneak attack. The United States suffered heavy losses, and finally made them soberly realize that there was no benefit to Japan's appeasement.
Pearl Harbor declared the bankruptcy of U.S. isolationist foreign and defense policy. In order to effectively prevent the Japanese army from continuing to advance southward, the United States on the one hand hoped to use China's abundant manpower and resources to drag down and consume the Japanese army to the greatest extent, and on the other hand, to place the battlefield of counterattack against Japan in the southwest Pacific region.
Of course, the Japanese at this time did not notice that yesterday they had begun to sound the final death knell for themselves by their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
After leaving Li Bangfan's office, Zhu Muyun found that the atmosphere of the Political Security Bureau was a little strange. Many people don't know what impact yesterday's events have on China. However, the Japanese military police of the Political Security Bureau were very excited. They have long been brainwashed, they only know that the imperial army has achieved an unprecedented victory, and even the United States, the number one power in the world, is no match for the imperial army.
In other words, there is nothing in the world that can stop the Japanese army. Not to mention that the whole of East Asia, even the whole world, will be trampled under the feet of the Japanese army.
However, some people of insight see the crisis. Japan is too small, they are like a poisonous snake that wants to eat an elephant, and if they are either trampled to death, they will be strangled.
In Chongqing and Yan'an, after learning about this, some celebrations were held. Everyone believed that the Japanese army was self-defeating. The Japanese army failed to destroy the Nationalist army on the battlefield in China. And to go to war with the United States, isn't it faster to die?
Zhu Muyun was very happy in his heart, and his face was filled with a smile of victory. It's just that his smile of victory is because the Japanese army has won, or because the Japanese army has finally taken a step towards destruction, it is unknown.
In the evening, a grand celebration was held at the Deming Hotel. Originally, the celebration was led by the Political Security Bureau. However, important figures from the provincial government and the military department were present, and in the end, it was the provincial government that went out of their way and organized the celebration.
Although Zhu Muyun is an official of the Political Security Bureau, he is an insignificant little person in front of these bigwigs in the provinces and cities. Even when I participated in the celebration, I was just in the corner, chatting with the colleagues of the Political Security Bureau.
The profession of a spy can't be put on the table after all. Except for Li Bangfan, almost everyone else in the Political Security Bureau was left out in the cold by the participants, huddled in a corner, drinking alone.
"I knew it was so boring, I should have played mahjong." Zhu Muyun and Sun Minghua touched a glass of wine and said boringly.
"It seems that the people from the Sixth Division have also arrived, why don't you arrange it?" Sun Minghua's eyes were sharp, and he saw Wang Qinghai walking over with the people of the Sixth Division, and he saw Shi Dongliang at a glance and said.
"No problem." Zhu Muyun nodded, there were too many bigwigs attending the celebration, and they became dispensable characters.
