Chapter 652: Willing to be an Eagle Dog - Striking the West

readx;?? "General Ono has been working on this for a long time, and we have to do two things at present: first, to ship the precious metals that have been requisitioned; The second is to continue to requisition. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The first thing that is difficult is how to avoid the US Navy and Air Force, and in the second half of this year, the empire completely lost air and sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean. The second thing that is difficult is that the bid is too high, and the empire's finances are not able to support it; If the bid is too low, the citizens will do everything possible to avoid it, and they are unwilling to exchange the yellow and white things in their hands. ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said the truth, and Ni Xin, who had already had a lot of slander about this matter, said perfunctorily: "What the general said is that if the matter is slow, it will be completed, and this matter must not be urgent." ”

Ono Heiichiro rebuked: "Ni San! We are looking for you in the hope of negotiating a practical solution, rather than listening to your prevarication. ”

Ni Xin had no choice but to reply: "The two generals must have a proper plan, and their subordinates obeyed the order. ”

Kagesa said, "General Ono and I agreed that I would be in charge of the transportation. The collection of precious metals is led by General Ono, you will assist, Zhengjin Bank will take the lead, other banks will participate, and the twelve intelligence stations in the Songhu area will also fully intervene. ”

Ono Heiichiro said again: "Ni Sang, the base camp only gave us two months to requisition precious metals equivalent to three years of tax revenue in the Songhu area. Siwen led the elite of my secret service team to Chongqing, hoping that you will do your best to assist me in completing this task related to the situation of the Imperial Holy War. ”

Ni Xin had to nod in agreement.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao asked, "Ni Sang, you sent someone to monitor Feng Gensheng, how is the progress?" ”

The subordinates deduced that Dong Kang should be Feng Gensheng's assistant, and Asano-kun led the team to monitor this person. Feng Gensheng is a rising star in the military command, and his subordinates sent Qian Mingqi to lead people to track and monitor. As long as one of these two people is in our grasp, there is hope for the arrest of Zhou Chengbin. It's a pity that as of today, Zhou Chengbin has not appeared, and after Matsumoto Min Sanyu was martyred, Feng Gensheng also temporarily stopped his actions. ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao hesitated: "According to Bi Yan's intelligence: Zhou Chengbin was not lightly injured in our second attack on Pujiang County. General Ono and Ni Sang, do you need to arrest Feng Gensheng first? ”

Ni Xin replied: "More than two months have passed since the second attack, Zhou Chengbin should have recovered, and his subordinates suggested waiting a little longer." ”

"It's okay, Ni Sang, you can call the shots." Kagesa Zhenzhao got up and said, "General Ono, I still have something to do, let's go first." ”

"Ying Zuojun go slowly, Ni Sang, let's discuss the work arrangements for the requisition of precious metals."

On August 25, Liu Zezhi and Zhang Chi were on full alert, and a whole day passed, and nothing happened. At six o'clock in the morning of the 26th, Zhang Chi personally brought breakfast: "Zezhi, let's have breakfast, I went out to buy it." ”

Liu Zezhi asked, "Thank you." Lao Zhang, according to the information provided by Zhang: Xie Wei should have launched a surprise attack yesterday, what do you think is the problem? Did Xie Wei see the flaw? Or did it delay the time for action? ”

If Xie Wei sees the flaw, he should ask Zhao Changqing for help as soon as possible, and ask him to order Zhang Ju to find out the location of the real factory. In short, we need to be more vigilant and adapt to all changes. ”

Liu Zezhi said while eating: "Lao Zhang, do you think it is possible that Xie Wei and they found the real factory location by themselves?" Or did he begin to suspect that the spy network that Zhao Changqing was responsible for might not be reliable? ”

"Wouldn't it? Although Xie Wei had been in the military command for a long time, he was not reused, and his military rank was only captain. ”

Liu Zezhi smiled bitterly: "There are many reasons why it is not reused, but it does not mean that there is no ability. ”

"What you said also makes sense, I'll call Ge Jiapeng later and remind him to be vigilant - come in."

Qiao Wenrong came in and reported: "Deputy Director Liu, Mr. Mao's Secretary Han drove to pick you up, saying that he ordered you to go to see Mr. Mao immediately." ”

Liu Zezhi drank the last sip of soy milk, took a fritter, and said to Zhang Chi: "Then I'll go." ”

At seven o'clock, in Mao Renfeng's office, Mao Renfeng smiled and said, "Come, accompany me to breakfast." You've been back for so many days, and I haven't had a chance to talk to you. ”

The elder gave it, but he didn't dare to resign, Liu Zezhi would not say that he had used it too early, and said with a smile: "It's you who have every opportunity, and your subordinates don't dare to disturb." As he spoke, he served a bowl of porridge and sat down.

"Tell me about the past few days."

"My subordinates took time to substitute in the training class during the day, and went to the fake factory at night to be on duty, Zhang Chi was on the day shift, and we both were in the factory yesterday, but the raid didn't happen, Mr. Mao, why do you say it?"

Mao Renfeng replied: "According to Zhang's report: Ni Xin sent a telegram asking about Xie Wei's whereabouts and ordered Zhao Changqing to find it. ”

Liu Zezhi said: "So Xie Wei cut off contact with Ni Xin? Why is that? Mr. Mao, my subordinates don't know Xie Wei, do you think this person has the ability to find out the location of the real counterfeit banknote factory on his own? ”

"It's hard to say, just order Ge Jiapeng to strengthen his vigilance. I have something to explain to you: The military commander was ordered by the highest authority to contact Zhou Fohai privately, and there are only five people who know about this matter, plus me and Boss Dai, and you are one of them. The Japanese drew up a plan two months ago: to scrape three feet of ground in the Songhu area to raise military spending. Of course, the Nanjing Wang puppet clique was unwilling. ”

"But what the Japanese want to do, where can the puppet government of Nanjing Wang be stopped?"

"That's the reason, Nanjing Wang Puppet Group will definitely compromise in the end."

"How can the gold and silver of the Chinese fall into the hands of the invaders and become their military expenses for invading China?"

Mao Renfeng nodded and said, "Boss Dai ordered the Shanghai Branch to try to destroy, preferably robbed." I have sent a telegram to Zhou Chengbin. At present, we have not received any news from the Nanjing government, and the large-scale government action of exchanging precious metals will take time, and you will rush back to Shanghai with some counterfeit banknotes in a few days, and you will not delay participating in the implementation of this plan. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will fully cooperate with Director Zhou."

"I have never worried about the cooperation between you, but I have one sentence to explain: if part or all of this gold and silver fall into the hands of the Shanghai Branch, I don't care what method you use, the specific amount and place of collection can only be fully controlled by you alone."

Liu Zezhi said secretly: This should be the real reason why Mao Renfeng ordered him to rush back to Chongqing from Shanghai. He replied, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

Mao Renfeng smiled: "Don't you ask me why I did this?" ”

"There's no need, your words are an order not to be disobeyed to me."

Liu Zezhi's attitude Mao Renfeng was very satisfied, and asked some more about the situation of the Shanghai Branch, Liu Zezhi made a look of knowing everything, and said in detail. Secretary Han came in and reported: "Mr. Mao, Zhang asked me to tell you: Xie Wei has a whereabouts, Xie Wei sent a telegram to Ni Xin in the early hours of this morning, saying that he found that there was a problem with the counterfeit banknote factory where Zhang Chi and Liu Zezhi were located, so he canceled the operation and returned to Shanghai." Ni Xin telegraphed Zhao Changqing: The operation was cancelled. According to Zhang's report: An hour ago, Zhao Changqing made a special appointment and reprimanded him for incorrect information, so that Xie Wei and others returned from thousands of miles in vain. Zhang also said that Zhao Changqing was also quite dissatisfied with Xie Wei and others, and condemned them for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and when they encountered setbacks, they only cared about self-preservation and easily retreated. ”

Mao Renfeng was a little surprised: "Xie Wei actually has such ability?" Zezhi, is your work not in place? ”

"It's subordinates who are not in a good position. Xie Wei...... The person Ni Xin likes will not be too bad. Mr. Mao, Xie Wei retreated so easily, could there be fraud in it? ”

Mao Renfeng was silent, and Secretary Han interjected: "After Xie Wei was arrested, he couldn't stand the torture and had to take refuge in No. 76, he won't be loyal to his life regardless of his personal safety, right?" ”

Liu Zezhi retorted: "If Xie Wei is not desperate to serve the Japanese, how could Ni Xin send him to lead the team to Chongqing?" ”

"Maybe it's because Xie Wei is more familiar with Chongqing, right? Besides, Ni Xin was not sent to Chongqing by Xie Wei alone, and they could restrain each other. ”

"Mutual constraints? In enemy-occupied areas, if the generals are not in harmony, something big will happen. Xie Wei just left, how to explain to Ni Xin after he went back? ”

Secretary Han said again: "Zezhi, are you thinking too highly of Ni Xin?" What can't be explained? Hasn't the Shanghai Branch also failed to have an order from the headquarters of the Executive Board several times for various reasons? ”

"How can this be compared?"

"How can it not be compared? Moreover, Zhang also reported that he learned from Zhao Changqing that Xie Wei and others did not obtain the necessary weapons for the raid. He said that Zhao Changqing ridiculed the people of No. 76 for being timid and fearful, and that their efforts were in vain. Even if Xie Wei single-handedly figured out the location of the real factory, launching a surprise attack with the guns they carried with them was equivalent to sending them to death. ”

"Do you know that Xie Wei doesn't have the ability to get weapons from elsewhere?"

Secretary Han shook his head and said, "Zezhi, what's wrong with you?" Xie Wei put the weapons prepared by Zhao Changqing and didn't use them, and risked getting weapons from elsewhere? In your mind, Xie Wei will be capable for a while, and stupid for a while......"

"That's it! What are you arguing about? Mao Renfeng: "What Secretary Han said makes sense, Zezhi, you're thinking too much." How is the production progress of Ge Jiapeng? ”

Secretary Han replied: "According to your system, I will report to you at six o'clock in the morning every day, this is just delivered today, please take a look." According to this progress, five days later, that is, on the 30th, the first batch of products will be ready to roll off the production line. With a few more days of post-production, you can get the finished product. ”

Mao Renfeng nodded and said, "No. 30? Can it be in advance? ”

Secretary Han replied: "Yes, my subordinates will go and ask questions." ”

Liu Zezhi asked, "Just make a phone call, right?" The subordinates felt that all personnel should be prohibited from entering and leaving during the production period. ”

"For the sake of secrecy, there is only one radio station in the factory, and there is no telephone. It is impossible to prohibit entry and exit, where the place is too small, what about the supply of raw materials and staff? ”

Liu Zezhi was not at ease and said, "Mr. Mao, my subordinates also went over to take a look." ”

"No need, there are two people I sent to you to bring back to Shanghai, you can see them, and from today onwards, let them follow you."

Liu Zezhi had no choice but to reply: "Yes." Lao Han, when you go, remind Ge Jiapeng: Don't let your guard down. ”

Liu Zezhi, who has a lot of less qualifications, has been promoted repeatedly over the years, and his military rank is higher than his own, so it is impossible for Secretary Han to have no opinions, although he nodded and agreed, he didn't take it too seriously.
