Chapter 141: Promotion
"This is the downline of that Zhukov's development? Looks like he's doing a good job! ”
Outside the door of the Friendship Hall, in a car parked in the dark, old Chelov said to Suslov, who had met Geng Chaozhong.
"He now runs a watch shop, which seems to be prosperous, but in fact he can't make ends meet, and some time ago I tracked him to kidnap Japanese businessmen and extort money to make up for the shortfall." Suslov laughed.
In the darkness, the elder Chelov let out a silent smile, and he watched Geng Chaozhong's car disappear into the night, and his chin was raised, signaling Suslov to follow.
"Hehe, funny guy. By the way, you say that he thinks Chiang will gain an advantage over time? ”
Suslov, starting the car, replied:
"Yes, this was more than half a month ago, but the development of events in the last half month seems to confirm his judgment. We see that Jiang Zhongzheng has stabilized his position after repeated defeats and retreats. Yan Xishan's men had already begun to waver in their military spirits. In particular, Shi Yousan of Jinan, it is said that he has personally gone to Nanjing to explain the situation to Jiang Zhongzheng. ”
"Hehe, this swingman."
Chelov shook his head disdainfully and did not speak again.
Half a month ago, Chelov met with the envoy sent by Yan Xishan and reached some agreement of intent. But unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the situation that was completely favorable to Yan Xishan to take a turn for the worse.
First, Yan Xishan felt distressed because his advisor had promised to give Shi You 300,000 taels of silver, and then refused to pay. In this way, it directly led to Shi You's three major anger turning against the water again, and Jinan gained and lost.
On the other hand, Principal Chang is not as petty as Yan Laoxi. He openly promised that whoever could help him occupy Kaifeng, Luoyang and other territories would be paid 500,000 oceans.
This kind of financial strength, this kind of bearing, and Yan Xishan's performance are like two people.
In addition, Principal Chang directly handed over the control of the island city to Zhang Shaoshuai. As a result, both militarily and politically, President Chang's basic situation was rapidly stabilized. Then a steady stream of Whampoa students went to the battlefield, and under the bloody battles of Xue Yue, Zhang Zhi and others, Yan Laoxi on the battlefield was also defeated and retreated.
In just one month, there is a trend of reversing heaven and earth!
The point is that all this is completely consistent with Geng Chaozhong's judgment half a month ago!
This gave Chelov a rare curiosity, so he planned to meet Geng Chaozhong.
The two cars came to Geng Chaozhong's residence unhurriedly, Xiao Yi had already found someone behind, but it seemed that the other party did not intend to hide his whereabouts.
"Boss, there's someone in the back, but it doesn't look like there's something wrong." Xiao Yi looked behind from time to time.
Geng Chaozhong nodded.
The two stopped the car, and the car behind them honked its horn in a friendly manner, indicating that there was no malicious intent.
After a while, two foreigners wearing top hats and windbreakers got out of the car, and when they came over, Geng Chaozhong knew the identity of the other party.
"Please come in." Geng Chaozhong smiled and opened the door and led the two into his residence.
"This is Comrade Chelov, you can call him Old Chelov."
Suslov introduced Geng Chaozhong warmly, and he could already see that the old Chelov had a very friendly attitude towards this Geng Chaozhong - since the two met and shook hands, the old Chelov has always kept smiling.
It's rare.
"I've heard Suslov talk about you, and it's an honor to meet you. In particular, your view of the situation is impressive, and I have come today to hear your views once again. ”
Old Chelov got straight to the point and said what he meant.
"Ah, I'm a little flattered!"
Geng Chaozhong's face showed a very surprised expression - he had thought of many possibilities, but he really did not expect that Chelov, the senior leader of the Comintern and the Cheka, would come to meet him for this reason.
"I think, you should have asked a lot of experienced comrades, and I, just a young man, I thought, I want to ......."
Geng Chaozhong showed his uneasiness at the right time, he didn't want to make any assertions about the situation, although it wasn't a difficult thing for him.
"It's okay, I'm more than willing to listen to you, whether it's right or wrong."
Chelov's attitude was sincere.
As plenipotentiary envoy for Far Eastern affairs, Chelov had a great responsibility, and he did not want to make a strategic mistake in this matter. But, as a Russian, although he had read a lot of intelligence and asked a very large number of experienced comrades. He even communicated with the CCP leaders in Shanghai, but he still didn't have much confidence.
Because, at this time, the comrades of the CCP gave him the advice that he should press the treasure on Feng Yuxiang's side.
However, Chelov clearly lacked trust in Feng - because the guy's historical credit was very bad.
Geng Chaozhong pondered for a while, and finally spoke:
"In my opinion, although the CCP is more advanced in terms of organizational form and philosophy, for now, there is no doubt that Chiang Zhongzheng is the most powerful person in China.
Whether it is the concept of the Kuomintang, the talents of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the foreign aid of Britain and the United States, Chiang Zhongzheng has an absolute advantage in these three aspects. The current disadvantage on the battlefield is only because Chiang's resources have not yet had time to be transformed into real strength, but once the war begins, the speed of this transformation will be very fast.
As you can see, in just a few months, Chiang's Central Army has become stronger and stronger. His Whampoa students, tempered with iron and blood, had shown a fighting power far superior to that of the old warlords—something that had been proven in the Northern Expedition, and now it was only proven again. ”
...........
Geng Chaozhong spoke eloquently, while Chelov took out a pen and paper and kept jettling Geng's point of view—he acted like a devout Orthodox Christian or a hungry student.
This caused Suslov next to him to have a feeling of extreme absurdity, and Suslov even began to wonder if he had fallen into a strange dream.
He couldn't help but pinch his palm, once again confirming the truth of the matter.
And over there, the conversation between Geng Chaozhong and Chelov has come to an end.
"So, I think at this stage, you should still start to build a good relationship with the Nanjing government, at least with some people. I would like to recommend to you a man who was the special envoy of the Nanking government during the Tongjiang incident last year. ”
Geng Chaozhong began to sell illicit goods.
"You're talking about Cao?"
Chelov had obviously done a lot of work and immediately realized who Geng Chaozhong was talking about.
"That's right, he has been in the Soviet Union and did well in last year's negotiations. If you maintain good relations with him, you will definitely be rewarded later - after all, China and the Soviet Union cannot break off diplomatic relations forever. ”
Geng Chaozhong said.
Chelov's eyes lit up.
Now the internal situation of the CPSU is very complicated, and strictly speaking, it can be said that everyone is in danger. If you can have a reliable candidate within the Nanjing government, then it should also help your own security. Geng Chaozhong's opinion is undoubtedly very favorable to him.
He thought for a moment and said:
"Geng, you are really a very good young man. Zhukov's fat man's vision is indeed good, and I think you should take on a more important task in the island city. I'll report back to the top and appoint you as the head of intelligence for our Cheka in Island City, and again, Suslov will be your deputy, how about it? I've heard that you have a very good relationship. ”
Geng Chaozhong was stunned.
Suslov next to him was even more stunned.
No one expected that between talking and laughing, old Chelov would set such a big event!
"No, no, Comrade Chelov, my qualifications are too shallow for this great responsibility, and besides, I have not made any contributions in the island city, and I will not be rewarded for my merits. Also, I will be transferred to the Northeast by the Party Investigation Section in a while, and I won't be able to stay in the island city for too long. ”
Geng Chaozhong excused himself again and again - what are you kidding, let Suslov stay by his side, then what else can he do?
This old fox nominally gives himself a deputy, but in fact he is not arranging a prison army for himself!
Suslov was also distressed.
He doesn't want to be a subordinate to this Chinese!
It's a shame!
You must know that no matter who the CPSU sends to China, he will be received and even valued by the supreme leader, but he wants to be a deputy to such a young guy, which is outrageous!
However, Chelov's next sentence sent Suslov's heart to the bottom.
"No, no, Geng, your work in Island City is well done. First, you managed to break into the Party Investigation Department, and second, you also established a perfect second layer of disguise. Thirdly, you also got close to Pu Yi, and through him, you also established relations with the Japanese. Don't ask me how I know. These three points are enough to promote you to the intelligence chief of the island city!
I'm sending a telegram, and it won't be long before your brigadier rank and letter of appointment will come down, don't worry!
As for your transfer, don't worry about it, didn't I arrange a deputy for you? In your absence, Suslov will help you with the task. ”
At this moment, Geng Chaozhong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Chelov to investigate himself so clearly.
However, he still asked with a glimmer of hope:
"Comrade Chelov, can I refuse?"
"No, you can't! Otherwise, deal with it according to the regulations! ”
Chelov categorically rejected Geng's request.
Geng Chaozhong finally gave up, and Suslov was also dead.
"Suslov, you must cooperate well with Comrade Geng Chaozhong's work and obey all his orders, from now on, you will stay here and wait for Geng Chaozhong to give you the task, understand?"
Suslov could only nod helplessly.
CTMD!
Geng Chaozhong was furious.
This Chelov clearly did not believe in himself, wasn't this a surprise attack ?!
However, the official position given by this Soviets is really generous, I really didn't expect that it was even more generous than the Party Investigation Section!
Quasi-Colonel!
One more level, it's a major!
All right!
For the sake of the face of this official position, Geng Chaozhong could only reluctantly accept it.
It's just that Suslov's oil bottle is how to deal with it, but Geng Chaozhong is embarrassed.
