March 2, 1938, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhou Lin sat alone in the room, and after investigation, he was on annual leave, and the dock was deserted.

"Jingle bell!" The call was from Chang Liang.

"Brother, you celebrate the New Year alone, it's strange, come to me for the New Year!"

Zhou Lin refused: "Forget it!" I didn't go to sleep alone, and when I saw your family lively, I felt even more uncomfortable. ”

Not only Chang Liang was invited, Zhou Chang and others were invited, but Zhou Lin didn't want to touch the scene.

Zhou Lin drove to Smith's house: "Old Shi, go to the dock today and spend the Chinese New Year with me." ”

Smith shook his head: "No, no, no!" I don't like to eat with chopsticks. ”

Zhou Lin was not reluctant: "Old Shi, can the freighter receive the telegram?" ”

Smith: "Yes, but you have to find a high-powered transmitter." Because the distance at this time is very long, it exceeds the range of the wave signal of an ordinary transmitter. ”

"Where is the super-powerful transmitter?" Zhou Lin is happy.

"You're such a stupid bird! High-power transmitters, of course, only telegraph offices have. ”

Before Smith's words were finished, Zhou Lin blew away like a wind.

Zhou Lin came to the newspaper office building, but it was closed.

After knocking on the door for a long time, an old man opened a small window and looked outside vigilantly.

"Stupid, you don't know if you want to celebrate the New Year?" The old man scolded.

"I want to send a telegram!" Zhou Lin patted the door and said.

"It's a holiday! No one sent you a telegram! The old man was dismissive.

Zhou Lin took out a pistol: "Open the door for me!" ”

The old man looked at it, and ouch! Brigand? There are guns!

The old man quickly closed the small window, fearing that the bullet would fly in from the small window.

The old man's actions made Zhou Lin even more angry, and he didn't even give me the right to talk?

"Phew!" Zhou Lin raised his gun and shot at the upper corner of the door.

The crisp sound of gunfire resounded in the sky.

However, during the Chinese New Year, the children in every family kept setting off firecrackers, and those who heard the gunshots took the gunshots as firecrackers, and no one paid attention to them.

But the shouting after the gunshots was heard clearly by people far away.

"Help! The bandits shot and robbed. "The old man's bright voice skills are really good.

As if to cooperate with the shout, Zhou Lin fired two more shots.

After two shots, people from nearby families hurriedly pulled the child into the house and closed the doors and windows. Everyone scolded one after another: Bandits, don't take care of robbery 360 days a year, you can stop and celebrate the New Year.

The police station received a call that someone had shot and robbed at the telegraph office. The police chief scolded his mother for running out of the house, and he didn't care about the couplet, so he led the team to the telegraph office.

At the same time, the Japanese military police headquarters also received a report that Yamada had returned to Japan, and the small forestry department and the military police also rushed to the telegraph office.

When the director of the telegraph bureau received the news, his heart tightened, and there was 15,000 oceans of private money in the office of the telegraph office, but don't rob it.

Zhou Lin, who had fired the gun, walked around outside the telegraph office, trying to find a low place to climb up.

When he found a place that Zhou Lin could reach, he was about to climb up.

More than a dozen voices shouted in unison from behind: "Don't move!" Hands up! ”

Zhou Lin looked back and saw many people he knew, from the police station.

"What the fuck you don't even know me anymore?" Zhou Lin scolded.

When the police saw it, it was this man! Where do you say it's not fun, you just come to the Telegram Bureau to play?

The director saw it and hurriedly stood up from the protection: "You don't have any money to spend?" With us, the brothers still have dozens of oceans, why bother to rob them? ”

When Zhou Lin heard this, he looked at the posture again, and understood, it turned out that he was a robber.

"You're robbing! Your whole family is robbed! Is it okay to say something auspicious about the New Year? Lao Tzu's money can buy ten of these dilapidated buildings, and rob this garbage? Zhou Lin scolded.

"If you don't rob, then why are you running here for the New Year?" The director asked.

"It's my private affair and I don't want to tell you!" Zhou Lin ignores it.

"But I want to know why!" Zhou Lin heard a Japanese voice.

When I looked back, I hurriedly ran over and replied in Japanese, "Kobayashi-kun, why are you here?" ”

"Attracted by the gunshots, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Zhou Lin whispered: "Today's New Year, I want to send a telegram to my parents. As a result, the telegraph office did not let me in, and in a hurry, I shot and scared him. ”

The director of the telegraph bureau knew Japanese, and hurriedly replied: "Today is the Chinese New Year!" ”

Zhou Lin scolded in Mingzhu dialect: "You won't suppress the CCP during the New Year? Don't fight the military during the Chinese New Year? Not on duty during the Chinese New Year? I have people on duty at the dock, why don't you leave someone on duty here? ”

When everyone heard this, they all rolled their eyes collectively: "Can the dock not be on duty?" The people who celebrate the New Year come home from the dock, and you are not on duty to release the people and let them celebrate the New Year on the ship? ”

Xiao Lin didn't know this, and gave Zhou Lin a thumbs up: "The dock is not lazy, it's very good!" The telegraph office is lazy, and it's a big bad! ”

The director of the telegraph bureau wanted to argue, but when he saw Kobayashi's appearance, he didn't dare to say anything.

Xiao Lin kicked the iron door with his foot, frightening the old man to open the door.

"Telegraph office, get to work now! Learn from the docks! ”

After saying that, Kobayashi took the gendarmes and left, leaving behind the director of the telegraph bureau with a sad face.

"Brother! If you want to send a telegram to me directly, you just have to make everyone unable to spend the New Year. The director of the telegraph bureau said to Zhou Lin.

This is a sullen Lord! Wait carefully.

Zhou Lin pointed at the old man: "Who let him go with me!" ”

The director knows the reason, this old man relies on his son to be a squad leader in the operation department, and he doesn't take anyone seriously, so it's okay.

The door of the telegraph office was wide open, and there was only one guest in Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin drafted a telegram, in which he said that everything was fine with him, please don't worry about your parents, and wish your parents a happy new year! It's New Year's greetings to my parents!

The director of the telegraph bureau asked people to send a telegram to Zhou Lin and sent Zhou Lin out.

"Director, who is this person? Awesome boom! The old man asked.

The director of the telegraph said: "He calls the chief of the Yamada office his uncle, and if he is not happy, the son of your squad leader will be in the gendarmerie in a few minutes." ”

When the old man heard this, he sat down on the ground in fright.

In Wuhan, thousands of miles away, Dai Li and Mao Yimin sat in front of the chairman.

Hearing that Dai Li also did not have an advantage in Zhou Lin's hands, the old man smiled.

"Headmaster, you didn't see it, that's what a thug in the Pearl Market looks like. Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. Dai Li explained.

"He didn't have this like this, in Mingzhu, there was no scum that had been eaten for a long time." The old man said with understanding.

"Yes! This time, however, we achieved what we had anticipated. And beyond that, there's another takeaway. Mao Yimin reported.

"Oh! What's the catch? The old man asked.

"It's the passage! Zhou Lin has a suitable candidate in his hands. Dai replied.

"Soon! It seems that today's year is even happier and happier. The old man liked to ask, "Who is available in the hands of the little rabbit?" ”

"Chang Liang, deputy commander of the Japanese puppet security army and commander of the first division."

The old man thought for a moment: "I know this person, he is very greedy. ”

"The principal has a good memory, and it is precisely because of Chang Liang's greed that he gave Zhou Lin a chance. The two of them have done more than one business. Mao Yimin said.

"What business?" The old man was curious.

"Anti-inflammatory drug panedonolin. Zhou Lin took it from the Americans, Chang Liang received the goods, and then Chang Liang put them on the black market. Many drugs ended up in Wuhan at high prices. Dai Li still has a hand, and Zhou Lin and Chang Liang's transactions are clear to him.

"! The Americans didn't give us the goods, so they took them out and doubled them several times before they got into our hands. The old man scolded.

"Now the Americans regard Zhou Lin as the god of wealth, and his parents sent the American freighter to the United States." Dai Lian also knew about the American freighter.

"If you're an American, you're going to give him up." The old man said.

No wonder Zhou Lin said loudly that he had invited dozens of people from the US Marine Corps to be bodyguards for his parents. He also said that he would send Yang Yu's body back. ”

The old man looked at Dai Li: "You must have provoked him." Didn't you say that Yang Yu went to protect his parents? Also, he doesn't care about Yang Yu, he has the money to invite people. But Yang Yu still can't go back, so let her study in the United States for three years. ”

"Yes! I'll let her know when I get back! ”

The old man asked: "Chang Liang resells Pannidonglin, the Japanese don't know?" ”

"Know! Yamada acquiesced to Zhou Lin and Chang Liang doing this, and he both handed over the money to Yamada, as if Yamada was doing something and needed money urgently. Dai Li reported.

"Let Zhou Lin get us a batch of Pannidonglin, now in wartime, Pannidonglin is more expensive than gold." The old man got up.

"I said, he said that a month later, a batch of Pannidonglin arrived at sea, and it was still Chang Liang who took over, 500,000 US dollars." Mao Yimin reported immediately.

"Send someone to contact Changliang's manager, you can't get half of it, you have to get back one-third." The old man commanded.

Next, Dai Li's three non-acceptances of Zhou Lin were told.

The old man smiled: "This is similar to my decision!" Why is it so noisy. ”

Dai Li hurriedly admitted his mistake: "It's my fault, I always want him to contribute more." ”

"I know you want him to get more information, but he needs to save his life. Two people have different points of view, so it is easy to conflict. But have you ever thought about it, he is a small section chief, and he is also a dock checker, and he has no direct contact with military intelligence, how do you let him get information? What we have to do now is to push him up to the position of director and above, so that the information he has access to will be valuable. At that time, are you still worried that he has no information? The old man pointed out sharply.

"Yes, the student's vision is too small, I know that I am wrong!" Dai Li was sweating profusely, and it seemed that the old man had an indescribable affection for Zhou Lin's family.

"You're not wrong! You have different starting points. What are your plans for his arrangement? The old man saw the sweat on Dai Li's head.

"I am going to set up a special team, with Zhou Lin as the leader of the special team, temporarily with the rank of lieutenant colonel. I am the only one who knows and controls the task force. Dai Li will report on the arrangement negotiated with Zhou Lin in Mingzhu.

"He's still young, just give him a major. For the rest, I approve your plans. But there is one thing, his contact must be a person who is not afraid of death, as soon as there is a danger of exposure, he has to kill himself, the future war of resistance will definitely have to fight for a long time, we must make long-term preparations. And this passage must be safe. Only when Zhou Lin is safe, this passage is safe. The old man said cautiously.

"Yes!" Dai Li felt that things were not as easy as he thought.

Eight hours later, in a cave in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, several people gathered around a brazier, roasting a firewood fire.

Sitting inside are the top five people of the Chinese Communist Party.

They were listening to the intelligence from Wuhan reported by the leader of the three.

"According to intelligence, today Dai Li and Mao Yimin went to the man's official residence to report their trip to Mingzhu. Three hours later, the man approved one of Dai Li's plans. ”

"What's the plan?" Number two asked.

"It is a strategic passage plan from Pearl to Wuhan." Number Three took out two plans and said, "These two plans are much the same, the main plan is the same. One was sent back by our comrades in Wuhan, and the other was the information reported to me by Lao Fang. ”

Number Three had the information, and the others didn't ask.

After reading the channel plan, everyone said that it was a good move, and with this channel, China's war of resistance will get a lot of help.

"This butterfly was mastered by Lao Fang himself? Don't expose your identity as Yan'an! As soon as he is exposed, neither the Japanese nor Wuhan will let him go. And Wuhan will take the opportunity to accuse us. Number One asked.

"We have an arrangement! His materials are only recorded in my and Lao Fang's heads, and they are not kept outside. Moreover, he has not yet joined the party, so the relevant departments do not have his materials. Number Three said.

"No! How can a comrade who is so vital to his work not be a party member? "No. 5 is in charge of organizational work, and immediately put forward opinions.

"Because of his particularity, he can't leave his pen outside, so he didn't submit an application to join the party." Three explained.

"It is right not to let him keep his hand, but this does not exclude comrades from the party. Let Lao Fang write the party application on his behalf, and No. 3 will be his introducer to join the party. Number One commanded.

"I'll do it right away. The topic of discussion now is that we are going to send a team to join the Wuhan corridor plan. Of course, the person in Wuhan didn't know, and if he knew, he would definitely scold his mother. No. 3 spoke humorously and made everyone laugh.

"Is there a standard?" Number Five asked.

"Yes, educated, familiar with business processes, and most importantly, loyal Communist Party members who would rather die than give in! They will face pressure from both Japan and Wuhan, and they must be careful and bold. In case of an accident, we must not let the enemy suspect us, and we must be people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, familiar with the topography and geography of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because they must secretly transfer supplies from the eyes of people on both sides at any time. ”

"Then select from the New Fourth Army, they have a lot of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"This group of them will be scattered in Pearl City and become merchants in Pearl City, and most of the people in the New Fourth Army will be known to the enemy." Number Three denied.

No. 1 spoke: "I can only transfer it from Yan'an." First, he is over thirty years old, too young to be like a businessman; Second, people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang can also be people from southeast Anhui; Three, usually unobtrusive. Fourth, they don't know about the passage, they only know that the organization sent them to Mingzhu to do business. ”

"For the safety of both sides, it is best for Die not to know the identity of the person sent, and if there is information to be exchanged, he will transfer from Yan'an or give orders."

"Agreed!" "Agreed!" "Agreed!" "Agreed!" "Agreed!".
