On the morning of February 20, 1944. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Hong Kong.

As soon as the store opened, a customer arrived. The customer, who speaks English and claims to be Swiss, wants to see the ancient coins. Liao Chengzhi communicated with him in English, and soon, the two of them spoke harmoniously.

Liao Chengzhi said: "Actually, I also buy all kinds of coins here, including paper money. I also accept small varieties of banknotes that people don't collect. ”

The man: "You buy banknotes?" Do you accept Iranian currency? ”

Liao Chengzhi remained silent and said, "Accept it." The price is negotiable. ”

The man took out half a note from his wallet and said, "What about this mutilated banknote?" ”

Liao Chengzhi took it, looked at it, and said, "I seem to have seen this kind of coin." As he spoke, he went to the counter, opened the drawer, and took out half a banknote, two pairs, which happened to be torn apart by one banknote, and the traces were not bad at all.

The man smiled and said, "I've finally found you." Let me introduce myself, my name is John Smith, and I'm an American. This time I'm here specifically to find you. ”

Liao Chengzhi said: "Okay, we know each other." I'll give you an information today, and when you go back and verify the quality of the information, we'll talk about the price. ”

John said, "Do you still need money for your intelligence?" ”

Liao Chengzhi said: "If you don't want money, will you pay attention to it?" If you don't want money, will your leaders value it? You are in the field of intelligence, and your job is not only to engage in intelligence, but also to prove your intelligence. This time, he spoke German.

John said, "Tell me, what was your first piece of information?" ”

Liao Chengzhi said: "Please remember, the intelligence is like this. He lowered his voice and said a few words. In fact, he speaks German, and there is no need to whisper at all, because in Hong Kong, there are less than 20 people who can understand German, especially those foreign bankers. Now they're all locked up.

John remained silent, asked a few words, and said, "Okay, remember." ”

Liao Chengzhi said: "Go back and verify that the British are deceiving you." ”

John is leaving.

Liao Chengzhi said: "Wait a minute, now that we have made contact, we need to establish contact. You'd better get some American supplies and sell them to me, so that you and I can come and go, and it makes sense. ”

John nodded and left.

Later, Liao Chengzhi got acquainted with it and learned that he had come to Hong Kong twice. The first two times because of the relationship between the Japanese, there was no successful contact. This time I came to contact, but the name of the place changed, so there were such twists and turns. The name of the place changed, and it was an accident that the Japanese promoted Japanese culture and changed the name of the place indiscriminately.

Liao Chengzhi didn't understand his role. I couldn't figure it out when I first accepted the assignment. It wasn't until the other party took out Zhou Gong's letter that he agreed to carry out this task. He is an old qualification, with a high social status, and he is not the kind of person who abides by discipline and does not ask questions about the situation, and is dedicated to completing tasks.

Therefore, the cadres in the northeast could not explain him, and even started from the situation in Europe, talked about the central government's prediction of the situation and the thinking of China's position after the war, and only then did they reluctantly convince him.

Originally, when discussing with Zhou Gong about the candidates to come to Hong Kong, Xiaolu was very hesitant, Zhou Gong recommended Liao Chengzhi, Xiaolu was worried that he didn't understand this task, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it, and then he really had no choice, Xiaolu sent Zhang Yongxing to Jiangxi in person, in addition to leading the rescue, there was also to explain the task clearly.

On the morning of February 24, 1944. Hong Kong.

As agreed, John went to a company that sold his nylon socks. At the door, he met Liao Chengzhi. John said, "Your intelligence has been confirmed. The quality is high. My boss agreed that I would live in Hong Kong for a long time and work with you. ”

Liao Chengzhi said: "Do you have the sincerity to cooperate? ”

John said: "We are willing to cooperate. ”

Liao Chengzhi said: "You sent a sum of money to the Swiss account, and the amount was one million US dollars. This is the account number. He handed over a small note.

John said, "A million? So expensive? ”

Liao Chengzhi said: "This is just a reserve. How much is it worth to save Germany from perdition? ”

John said, "Then we need to see how much your information is worth." ”

Liao Chengzhi said: "Let's put it this way. My intelligence can help your Führer make the right decisions. It can make the plans of the second battlefield of the United States and Britain completely fail. How much is this worth? The quality is not high, and I dare not ask for money. In the future, I will continue to ask you for money. ”

John said, "What's your source of information?" ”

"Chongqing has close ties with the United States, and Hong Kong has close ties with the UK. Those American GIs, British gentlemen, want money, and have a bigger appetite than anyone else. Remember, I'm going to buy a lot of information, analyze it, and prove it to be correct, before I sell it to you. ”

John said, "Okay." You can tell me about the information this time, I need to persuade my superiors. ”

Liao Chengzhi took out a note and said, "The information is written here." You guys go back and verify it, it's not difficult to verify, but it's very valuable. ”

John said, "Okay." This is a hundred pairs of socks. Nylon socks. "American nylon socks are a great invention, a pair of socks, to mention a small point, a pack of a hundred pairs of socks, only a briefcase-sized bag.

Liao Chengzhi turned the socks and said, "Okay, the next time we trade socks, I will return the money for this batch of socks to you." ”

On the same day, half of his nylon socks were sold, and he made a fortune.

The next day, John came, and Liao Chengzhi, who went directly to the store to find, looked very embarrassed.

Liao Chengzhi: "Mr. John, is there something?" "Strange, there is no appointment to meet, what's going on? Exposed?

John: "My nylon socks were stolen and I went to catch the thieves and they beat me up and robbed me of my papers. ”

Liao Chengzhi was relieved and said, "It's okay, drink a cup to suppress the shock." It's good that I have guerrillas. I picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said a few words in Cantonese. Then he asked John, "Where were you robbed?" ”

In the evening, John returned to the hotel, and his socks, papers, and wallet were all on the table, a lot of pieces.

February 25, 1944. Tianjin.

On this day, Xiaolu received a telegram from Hong Kong: "The goods have been sold. Please check the accounts. ”

At the same time, Koji received a commercial telegram from Europe, from a bank in neutral Switzerland, stating in secret words that a million dollars had recently been received.

The path was rejoicing, and the Germans were finally connected. At the same time, the connection between Chongqing and Germany can be abandoned. Chongqing has been in contact for a long time, and there will definitely be many people who will smell it.

The account was set up by Chen Dabang for the purpose of dealing with France and for the purchase of machinery and equipment from neutral countries. There are still such accounts in the United States. At the moment, there are still people in Europe who are operating these things. People in Europe are very useful.

Now, the Normandy landings are less than four months away. The British and German espionage war had reached harvest season, and in this battle, Britain undoubtedly had the upper hand, because all 48 German spies in Britain had been turned against him. Now, Germany has managed to effectively control the entire German spy organization hiding in Britain, Abwell.

In providing this information, Koji specifically warned the Germans not to take any action. In addition, Xiaolu asked them to verify the correctness of the information. The Germans had a lot of means, and they immediately verified it, and sure enough, they felt that the information sent back was suspicious, otherwise they would not have accepted the offer of a million dollars.

The most interesting thing is that within a few hours of Xiaolu putting the matter aside, Switzerland called again and said that another million dollars had come in.

Xiaolu immediately sent a telegram to Hong Kong, asking Hong Kong to send a message: First, Britain was planning Operation Overlord, and the content of the operation was to land in Calais or Normandy in France. Second, the conductors were Eisenhower and Montgomery. Thirdly, there was a man in Montgomery's residence, whose name was James, who was an actor before enlisting in the army and drank alcohol. James looks the same as Montgomery. Fourth, Montgomery doesn't drink alcohol.

There is a story behind this intelligence.

The British deceived German intelligence into believing that Montgomery was the commander in chief of the Second Battlefield. Montgomery's arrival in southern Europe showed that the Allies wanted to open a southern European front, not English seafood.

In fact, Montgomery still stayed in England, and it was Montgomery's stand-in who went to the Mediterranean.

This information provided details, and the Germans were sure to verify them.

It is hoped that a few pieces of intelligence will once again change the direction in which the world situation is heading. It's not easy to change the direction of history, but it's important to try.

Now, Baoding, the capital of Hebei Province, has just been recovered. Up to now, all large, medium and small cities in central and northern Hebei have been recovered. At the same time, the liberation movement in southern Hebei and the whole territory of Shandong was also being carried out.

Baoding was defeated by the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong.

Because the Northeast provided a hundred rocket launchers, a thousand rockets, and sent two hundred operators. A thousand rockets fell on the positions east of the city in ten minutes, and all the fortifications, including the ramparts, were razed to the ground. The infantry, led by five newly captured Japanese tanks, stormed Baoding east of the city.

Now, after many successive major victories of the Eighth Route Army, everyone in the Japanese army is afraid of the Eighth Route Army and the advanced weapons of the Eighth Route Army, and their will to fight has been greatly affected. This is one of the reasons for the victory in the battle, that is, after many years of psychological warfare, the effect is gradually visible.

Baoding is the capital of Hebei Province. Since the puppet Hebei provincial government moved from Tianjin to Baoding in 1939, Baoding's position has become more important. Today, Baoding has been restored, and Beiping is even more isolated. The Eighth Route Army occupied Baoding to make the Japanese army in Beiping realize that the southbound road was impassable, and according to our arrangement, go to Shanxi.

In the nearly a month after the recovery of Tianjin, the 400,000 troops of the Northeast Coalition Army and the 200,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army formed a situation of encirclement of Beiping. Tongxian, Shunyi, Huairou, Miyun, Mentougou, Fangshan, Daxing and other places formed several small encirclements.

Only Changping in the northwest does not have eight roads.

More civilians fled the city in Beiping, and the Japanese army built reinforced concrete around the city and was actively preparing for war.

The problem of Peiping should be solved, because the negotiations are still going on and the results are near.
