Chapter 37: Caught by Mistake
Geng Chaozhong returned to the place where Zou Zheng was recuperating with a smell of alcohol.
"See?"
Seeing Geng Chaozhong come back, Zou Zheng first breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed expectant eyes.
"See, he told you to take care of your injuries and not worry about the mission. When you're healed, I'll arrange for someone to send you back. ”
Geng Chaozhong sat down in front of Zou Zheng's bed as he spoke, carefully observing Zou Zheng's injuries.
I have to say that Xi Yiming, a charlatan, really has a set, and after a few days of recuperation, Zou Zheng's injuries have been mostly healed.
"I don't want to go back, my mission isn't done yet." Zou Zheng shook his head.
"It's not a question of whether you want to or not, it's an order! Besides, you have already shown your face, and if you stay any longer, it will not only be easy to be exposed, but it will also affect me. Do you understand that?! Geng Chaozhong spoke sternly and looked at Zou Zheng with a serious face.
Zou Zheng was silent - the two comrades-in-arms sacrificed their lives for the country without hesitation, but they still survived secretly, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"If you're just staying because you're blaming yourself, you're wrong." Geng Chaozhong observed Zou Zheng's expression and continued:
"Also, you have already assassinated a few Japanese merchants, which is also considered a meritorious service. Going back safely is also a morale boost. You don't want your dead comrades to have no testimony to the merits, do you?! This time, you should tell the organization about their great achievements, and take care of their families, which is what you should do. ”
Zou Zheng raised his head.
Geng Chaozhong's words spoke to his heart.
"Okay, I'll go back."
Zou Zheng finally nodded.
Geng Chaozhong's face softened, and a smile appeared on his face, he nodded and said:
"When you go back this time, if you can meet Mr. Deng from the Fuxing Society, please ask him, a guy surnamed Geng at Jinan Railway Station, I don't know if he still remembers."
Zou Zheng was a little puzzled, he really didn't understand the meaning of Geng Chaozhong's dumb riddle-like instructions. But he nodded and agreed:
"Okay, but Mr. Deng is a celebrity in front of the principal, and I may not be able to see it."
"You can see it, you must see it, you are the first accomplishment of the Fuxing Society, as long as you go back alive, you will definitely be able to see it! Maybe if you're lucky, you'll even be able to meet the principal! ”
Geng Chaozhong smiled and patted Zou Zheng's shoulder.
Headmaster?
Zou Zheng's eyes immediately lit up.
Although he is a student of the fifth phase of Whampoa, he has also seen the principal from afar at the graduation ceremony, and it would be a great honor if he could really see the principal himself!
Zou Zheng looked at Geng Chaozhong gratefully, and thanked him repeatedly.
He is a person who is not good at words, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid - in fact, the Whampoa students who can be selected to carry out tasks in the Northeast are all elites in military academies.
He understood that Geng Chaozhong asked him to go back for his sake-not only saved his life, but also showed his face in front of the chief, which was definitely beneficial and harmless!
In fact, the two are about the same age, but Geng Chaozhong has been trained for a long time, and he looks much more experienced than Zou Zheng, a pure soldier. In addition, this Zou Zheng is simple, and he is also very temperamental to Geng Chaozhong - after all, they are both soldiers, and the congenital two are easy to get along, plus Geng Chaozhong deliberately made friends, and the relationship between the two was closer again, and it can be said that there is nothing to talk about!
Geng Chaozhong understands that Zou Zheng will be rewarded for going back this time, after all, he is the first person to go back alive and make contributions since the establishment of the Fuxing Society, which is of great significance. If this Zou Zheng is lucky and will come again, he will definitely be able to be reused.
So I also put some effort in advance.
Besides, he is a real life-saving grace to Zou Zheng, as long as Zou Zheng goes back and talks about his own affairs simply, the senior management of the Fuxing Society will definitely have a good impression of him.
In this way, you can also dilute the bad image of the party investigation department on yourself.
The two chatted for a while about the story of the Whampoa Military Academy, Geng Chaozhong watched the sky get late, stood up and said:
"Okay, it's still the old rule, I'll bring you food every night, you have to endure it and don't go out, although the Japanese can't openly search for you in Mukden, but you are not happy when you are seen by the Northeast Army. I'll go first, and when the time comes, I'll send someone to send you away. ”
Zou Zheng nodded again and again, now he can be said to have unconditional trust in Geng Chaozhong, what Geng Chaozhong asked him to do, there is absolutely no second word!
Geng Chaozhong walked out of Zou Zheng's safe house and moved his right arm.
Zou Zheng has been recuperating from his injuries, why shouldn't he?!
..........
Lushun Kou Kanto Hall Special High Class.
"Renaissance?"
Masao Sato took the secret letter in his hand, read it carefully a few more times, and then handed it to the adjutant beside him, and ordered:
"Send it to Mr. Tohihara."
As soon as he handed the letter out, Sato changed his mind again, took the letter back, stood up and said:
"I'd better go myself!"
Tu Feiyuan lived in a villa by the sea in Lushunkou.
Since returning to Lushun, Tu Feiyuan has stayed at home and began to write his latest masterpiece:
Recent Situation and the Empire's Strategy for Manchuria-Mongolia
And told a few of his proud disciples not to come to him if there was nothing important.
Sato wasn't sure if the Fuxing Society was a major piece of information, but he still held on to his hopes and drove to Kenji Dohihara's residence.
Tsuchihara met with Masao Sato in a military uniform in a kimono, and after carefully reading the information brought by Sato, the triangular eyes of one big and one small began to shine with "wisdom".
"Sato, looking at Nanjing, it means to re-establish the Kuomintang within the Kuomintang!
This is a very important signal, showing that Jiang Zhongzheng is about to take a big step on the road of centralization, and it also means that after the Central Plains War, the party will fight more violently within the Nanjing government! ”
"A party within a party?" Sato's eyes widened.
"That's right, Jiang Zhongzheng has long been dissatisfied with the situation of factions in the party, but there has been no good way. The reason for this is that his qualifications are seriously insufficient in the party and are completely dependent on his military strength.
And although the military strength is tough, it can only make the political opponent take it orally, but it cannot convince the opponent. Therefore, he now wants to re-establish a strong enough, pure enough Kuomintang to further control power from the inside out.
This new party must set an example in ideology and style of doing things, draw a clear line with the corrupt and sluggish old Kuomintang and hold the banner of nationalism even higher!
Sato, this information of yours is very important! This will make my memora more convincing, and it will also make the civilian government and the military pay more attention to the potential of the Nanking government, and speed up the pace of our annexation of Manchuria! ”
Kenji Dohihara gushed his analysis, in his opinion, the military is for politics, and intelligence is also for politics, some intelligence may seem ordinary, but in fact the effect is more far-reaching!
Sato listened carefully to the teacher's teachings, nodded from time to time, and only after Kenji Dohihara's speech was over, did he ask cautiously:
"Teacher, the Central Plains is in full swing, Jiang Zhongzheng and Yan Xishan are not yet known who will die, why don't we take this opportunity to annex the Northeast, Nanjing must be powerless to stop!"
"How do I not know about this?! It's just that the cowardly civilian officials have been hindering our footsteps and refusing to increase troops in Manchuria, and with only our more than 30,000 troops in Manchuria, how easy is it to defeat the Northeast Army's army of nearly 400,000. ”
Kenji Dohihara shook his head, with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel.
In the Central Plains War, Jiang Zhongzheng and Yan Xishan had no time to take care of other things, it was the best time for the Japanese Empire to annex the Northeast, but those short-sighted civilian governments actually refused to increase troops in Manchuria, and saw the opportunity disappear step by step, which made Tojo Hideki, Tohihara Kenji and the Young Zhuang faction almost want to crush the steel teeth!
"Is there really no chance?"
Sato's heart is also very unwilling - such a large territory in Manchuria is simply a piece of fat, once swallowed, his power is bound to rise, and it is no longer limited to the corner of Dalian Jinzhou Lushun, Sato is also very anxious!
"It's not like there's no chance." There was a faint light in Tu Feiyuan's eyes.
"The last chance is that the Central Plains War is coming to an end, and the Northeast Army is bound to enter the customs to seize the fruits of victory, and at that time, the troops remaining in the Northeast will inevitably be weakened, and our opportunity will come! But that situation is also our only chance, once missed, the great cause of the empire will inevitably be postponed for another twenty years! ”
Kenji Dohihara sighed and turned to look at Sato:
"Sato-kun, the chess piece you have in your hand is not trivial, and you must make good use of it. The Fuxing Society is a mysterious organization, until now our elite intelligence personnel in the Nanjing government know nothing, and you can get relatively detailed information, you must pay attention to it, give this person the greatest support, and strive to let him break into the Fuxing Society, which is very important for the future of our empire, do you understand?! ”
"Hey, student understands!"
Sato nodded excitedly.
Unintentionally inserted into the willows, I didn't expect that the help of Date that I got by accident would have such a great effect!
He decided to go to Mukden in person and meet Date no Suke!
Just as Sato made up his mind and was about to go to Mukden, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Section Chief Sato, there is important information!"
The adjutant's voice came from outside the door.
Sato's face sank - this adjutant of his own has always been very proper, but he didn't expect to be so reckless today, and he dared to come uninvited and disturb his meeting with the teacher!
"Come in!"
Tsuchihara didn't care and made a decision for Sato.
"Yaga! What important information, don't you know that I am visiting my teacher?! ”
Sato was furious and yelled at the adjutant.
"Report to Section Chief Sato, we just received a telegram that we have captured the member of the Fuxing Society who is about to escape in Mukden, and we have a preliminary judgment that the identity of this person is very important!"
The adjutant ignored Sato's roar, but reported the information to Sato word by word - he knew very well that as soon as this information was spoken, Sato would definitely turn his anger into joy!
Sure enough, Sato's face instantly changed from angry to smiling!
"Yaga! What you say is true?! ”
Although Sato's words were still swearing, everyone could hear it, and he was in a very happy mood.
"Yes, Chief Hayakawa Senkichi personally took charge and captured the opponent who was about to move in one fell swoop, and we also found a grenade on his body that was about to go off! Just one step away, the grenade is about to explode! ”
The adjutant continued.
"Hahaha, Emperor bless!" Sato looked at Dochihara with a smile on his face:
"Teacher, do you want to go to Mukden with me?!"
"Oh?"
A smile also appeared on Tohihara's round face.
Yes, he was very interested in this newly established Renaissance Society, and now he actually caught an important member, which is simply a surprise!
"Of course, let's go and see if these new friends of the Fuxing Society have three heads and six arms!"
He didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
.........
Mukden.
In a Japanese merchant's mansion in the Mantetsu annex, a Chinese in a long shirt was tied to a chair with a wide range of flowers, his originally neatly combed hair was messy, the glasses on his face had long since disappeared, and although there were no scars on his face, the dirt and mud all over his body showed that he had gone through a fierce struggle before being captured.
"Say it! Seriously a strict boss, your true identity. ”
Hayakawa Chiyoshi sat across from this man named Serious One, and he couldn't help but have a smug look on his face.
It's been two whole weeks!
Just when he was about to give up, this person sneaked out of the original rented house one night, fortunately, the specially prepared special high school class had set up a stalk on his way in advance, and just when he thought he was safe, he was captured in one fell swoop!
"Can't think of it, right? Mr. Yan, we didn't set any secret posts around you at all, but directly analyzed your escape route, do you think that as long as you escape from the Manchurian Railway, you can sit back and relax? Truth be told, there's our outpost on every route you can leave!
Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, do you know how much manpower we used to catch you?!
A full thirty elites of the extra-high class!
You're proud enough! ”
Serious one, that is, Qu Leheng, still sat there without saying a word.
Nothing to regret.
Since coming to Mukden, he has been mentally prepared to die for his country.
It's just that I'm still too immature!
Although he stayed in the Party Investigation Section for a short time, and although he received a period of training in Nanjing, in the final analysis, he was still just a pure soldier.
Until now, he still can't figure out where he went wrong.
Identity?
No, there are always a few fresh faces of the leather merchants who come to the Northeast every year, and besides, how can the Japanese be so sure of themselves in such a short period of time?
Did someone betray themselves?
Is it Geng Chaozhong?
Shouldn't it? If it was him, why wait so long, wouldn't the meeting between the two that day be the best opportunity?
Maybe I'm just out of luck!
Qu Leheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
