Chapter 498 Special Investigator (II)

At the moment when Wu Luzhen stepped on the steps in front of the 'door' of the foreign bank. The curtain behind the window on the second floor was quickly lowered, and the man standing behind the window turned around, walked to the coffee table, picked up a 'refined' paper cigarette, stuffed it into his mouth, lit the fire, took a deep breath, and then slowly shuffed out the cigarette.

The man who was smoking in the house was named Gong Qingxiu, of course, this is not his real name, as a person who wanders the world and engages in secret work, the name is not important, the important thing is the responsibility on his shoulders, the intelligence officer must learn to live under the mask, and he must treat this false life as his real life, Gong Qingxiu has long been used to this life, although he is also a little bored, but as long as he is still the "iron bridge" of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Republic of China, then, He had to endure this false life.

Gong Qingxiu is a talented person, when he used to study. His greatest wish was to pass the imperial examination and the subsequent official life, and he never imagined that he would become a spy leader, not only taking huge risks to gather intelligence, but also in extreme cases, he would have to personally 'operate' weapons and carry out the necessary killings.

If you want to ask Gong Qingxiu if he is interested in assassination, I am afraid that even he can't answer this question himself, he only knows that for the interests of this country, even if it is the emperor and the prime minister, he dares to kill, provided that the superior gives a clear order.

Since leaving the Tianjin Intelligence Station, Gong Qingxiu has almost been living and working in the three eastern provinces, and in the past two years, he has lived in several cities, and he has almost become a real northeasterner, and even his accent is now basically inaudible Jiangxi accent.

In the past two years, although the military intelligence bureau has been densely spread in the three eastern provinces, frantically setting up intelligence stations and contact points, but it has not launched any particularly major operations, Gong Qingxiu is also the same as his peers, the life of the past two years has been a little monotonous, but monotony also has monotonous benefits, at least you can really think about how to do business. Now, this "Sihai Trading Company" is also a little famous in the industry, at least, the current North Manchurian intelligence station can ensure that the funds are self-sufficient, and Boss Gong's name has also been on the list of celebrities of the Russian consul in Harbin, every time Mr. Consul has a banquet, it is always inevitable to invite Boss Gong to go to a visit, or contact the 'private' feelings, or to Boss Gong to fight the autumn breeze, and 'hand' over this municipal undertaking to the Chinese businessman to do, so as to increase Mr. Consul's political achievements in the case of limited funds.

Although disgusted with the greed of the Russians, Gong Qingxiu has always been cautious and bold to maintain friendship with Russian dignitaries, the so-called "small hidden in the wilderness, big hidden in the court", the closer to the Russian officials, then the more convenient it is for their own work to be carried out, with the Russian consul as the background, those arms from the 'Gate'g ancient steppe can be transported to the Sino-Korean border smoothly by rail, 'handed' to those guerrillas, used to fight the Japanese colonial army, of course. In this kind of life of dancing with wolves, there are risks, last time at the banquet, Gong Qingxiu almost had a photo with a Japanese guest invited by the Russian consul, the Japanese name is Nishizawa Gongxiong, since Tianjin farewell, Gong Qingxiu has not seen this person, he does not want to meet this Japanese again, hidden front, never welcome familiar faces, it is for this reason that Gong Qingxiu has never stopped in front of the camera, his excuse is "afraid of being sucked away from the soul", although the Russians also ridiculed him for this" a medieval barbarian in a dress", but Gong Qingxiu did not mind what the Russians thought, after all, he was an intelligence officer and had long been used to being misunderstood.

Standing at the coffee table, smoking a cigarette while recalling the conversation with the Russian consul at the banquet last time, Gong Qingxiu was a little distracted, and he didn't come back to his senses until there was a knock on the 'door' from outside.

"Please come in."

Gong Qingxiu put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, pressed it, and then walked a few steps.

The 'door' of the room was pushed open from the outside, Zhang Zongchang walked in, followed by several men dressed in dresses, who were the same people Gong Qingxiu saw behind the window just now, and the leader was Wu Luzhen.

Zhang Zongchang closed the 'door' of the room. Introduce Gong Qingxiu.

"Manager, these are all special investigators sent by the epidemic prevention committee, this is Mr. Wu, and he is the team leader."

Gong Qingxiu smiled and shook hands with the other party, and greeted each other for a moment, this is not the place to speak, so the two sides did not open the skylight to say anything for the time being.

"Zongchang, it's none of your business here, you go down first. By the way, you don't want to go anywhere without my orders, especially not to eat dog meat! Gong Qingxiu said a few words to Zhang Zongchang and took this subordinate away.

"Eating dog 'meat'?" There was something strange about a couple of guests.

Gong Qingxiu closed the 'door' of the room and said with a smile: "The so-called 'eating dog''s meat'''' is a witty phrase in the rivers and lakes, not really eating dog 'meat', but referring to pai gow gambling." This Zhang Zongchang loves gambling the most, so he is called "dog" meat "Zhang", when he was in the green forest in the past, the accumulated money was basically thrown on the gambling table, the so-called "ten bets and nine losses", but he just does not remember "sex". ”

"Such a person, are you at ease?" Wu Luzhen asked.

"Although this person has a lot of 'faults'. However, the righteousness of the rivers and lakes is still spoken, otherwise, he would not have so many friends in the green forest. Our line of work, pay attention to a lot of ears and eyes, the situation in the three eastern provinces is complicated, no more than the Guannei, if you want to gain a firm foothold here, now you can't do without this green forest righteousness. ”

Speaking of this, Gong Qingxiu stopped at the point, then pointed to the middle of the office and said, "How many." It's not convenient to talk here, let's go in and say, there are a few guests in that room, and we have common interests, Mr. Wu may be interested in talking to them. ”

Leading Wu Luzhen and the others into the office, five young men who were sitting there drinking tea hurriedly stood up, one of them stepped forward, and Gong Qingxiu introduced him, at this time, the two sides no longer had to wear masks.

"This is Cho Meng-sun, the leader of the North Korean volunteers, who is now the vice president of the Korean Independence Association, and several of them are his subordinates and translators. As for this, it was a special liaison officer sent by the Central Governor Fǔ, who was also a high-ranking officer of the National Defense Forces, surnamed Wu, Chief Wu. ”

Wu Luzhen said a few words of greeting, and after sitting down, he quickly cut to the point, asked the other party about the situation in the northern part of North Korea, and deliberately pointed out that he wanted to listen to the truth, not listen to people bragging, as a result, Zhao Mengshan's words made him a little surprised.

Although there is the theoretical guidance of the book "Guerrilla Warfare" compiled by Zhao Bei, in the absence of a frontal battlefield as a cover, relying solely on the method of guerrilla warfare is not enough to carry out a long-term confrontation with the Japanese military machine, since the southern part of Korea was re-controlled by the Japanese army last year, the anti-Japanese situation in the northern part of Korea has gradually become difficult to maintain, after more than two years of confrontation between encirclement and suppression, the Japanese army has finally learned how to deal with guerrilla warfare, and the Japanese army's method is very simple, that is, "the strategy of moving villages and merging villages, and imprisoning them." On the one hand, the Korean people are forced to live in designated settlements. On the other hand, they carried out brutal military sweeps against the guerrillas' base areas and base camps, and killed, burned, and robbed all the Korean people who supported the guerrillas, so as to cut off the guerrillas' economic source and shake the Korean people's anti-Japanese determination and confidence.

In the face of such frenzied military encirclement and suppression, the anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare in Korea has been weakened, and if it cannot give strong support immediately, then it will only be a matter of time before the Japanese colonial army exterminates the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Korea.

He had also read the book "Guerrilla Warfare" written by Zhao Bei, and he also greatly appreciated some of the theories in it, but as an officer with a high level of professionalism, he also understood that guerrilla warfare was only a supplement to the frontal battlefield, and if he only relied on guerrilla warfare, he would not be able to achieve a decisive 'sexual' military victory, and unless the enemy had a difficult political situation, the best way to deal with this tactic would be to "act step by step" and trap the guerrillas to death and starve to deathApparently, the Japanese army found this method and is stepping up its implementation.

"In this way, the Japanese colonial army is massacring the unarmed and peaceful population. Do you have any hard evidence for this? If there is evidence, it may be possible to create some trouble for the Japanese government in the international community. ”

Wu Luzhen immediately grasped the key to it, so he asked Zhao Mengshan, and got a positive answer, the other party took out some photos, the scene in the photos was shocking, either piles of corpses, or villages that were razed to the ground, obviously, these people also came prepared.

On the other hand, of course, these North Korean patriots also showed other photographs in which the anti-Japanese guerrillas in North Korea were showing their successes, and if you only looked at these photos, you might mistakenly think that the anti-Japanese guerrillas in North Korea were constantly winning.

Just before leaving Shanhaiguan, Zhao Bei, the president of the Republic of China, sent a telegram to Wu Luzhen, in which the president did not explicitly say, but the president had already 'revealed' the meaning of "seeking tacit understanding and compromise" with the Japanese government on the Korean issue, after all, now the Japanese government is exerting strong foreign 'diplomatic pressure' on the Chinese government, and the US government is also trying to mediate this matter to avoid China and Japan. Therefore, under these pressures, it is understandable that the center should change its position in consideration of the long-term interests of the country, and with China's current national and industrial strength, it is indeed very irrational to have a large-scale war with Japan now.

This is international politics, everything revolves around national interests, at the beginning, the center supported the Korean people's anti-Japanese uprising, this was for China's national interests, and now, the center has decided to put an end to the situation of the Korean Peninsula's soul 'chaos', which is also for China's national interests, as the chess pieces in this competition for interests, the North Korean patriots are indeed not capable of deciding the fate of their own country.

Of course, Wu Luzhen would not tell Zhao Mengshan and others these words in person, and as long as the official order of the center was not issued, the "North Manchurian Passage" for the logistics supply of the Korean anti-Japanese guerrillas must be kept unblocked.

"This time, I will go out of the customs and bring 5,000 old guns of all kinds, and when this batch of munitions comes from the 'Gate' ancient grassland, I can 'hand' them all to you, but I can't do anything about the mountain artillery, for the guerrillas, the mountain artillery is still too cumbersome."

Speaking of this, Wu Luzhen glanced at Gong Qingxiu, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Qingxiu, please find a way to solve this problem of arms transportation and send it to the guerrillas as soon as possible." ”

Gong Qingxiu said: "There is no problem with this, the Russian consul is my friend, please ask him to come forward to approve a few wagons, and no one will check them along the way." However, I have recently heard rumors that the Russian government has decided to conduct a large-scale inventory of Korean nationals living in the North Manchurian region, presumably because it has reached some agreement with the Japanese government, so in my opinion, it is best for the anti-Japanese organizations in Korea to disperse immediately to avoid being brought to the pot, and in addition, Japan has recently successively cracked a number of liaison stations of anti-Japanese organizations set up in the South Manchurian region, which shows that there are likely to be traitors within you, and traitors must be eliminated as soon as possible. ”

Gong Qingxiu's last few words were addressed to Zhao Mengshan: With the intensification of the Japanese colonial army's military sweep of the guerrilla areas, many Korean anti-Japanese elements have been shaken in their thinking, and the current situation is indeed very unfavorable to the Korean independence movement, and moreover, this change in mentality will also have some impact on the military aid policy of the center of the Republic of China.

After a moment of discussion, the meeting ended, Gong Qingxiu personally sent the North Koreans out of the trading company, and Wu Luzhen walked to the window, raised the curtains and looked out into the street.

After the patrolling Russian soldiers walked over, Gong Qingxiu led the North Koreans out, got into the carriage, and drove them away.

Looking at the carriage that traveled far away, and then at the Russian soldiers patrolling with rifles, Wu Luzhen frowned.

When will the sovereignty of the three eastern provinces be recovered?

Two years ago, the commander-in-chief ordered him to compile a popular book on the historical evolution and current situation of the three eastern provinces, which was later distributed to the whole army and used as a textbook for military academies.

However, in the face of the situation in which Russia occupies North Manchuria and Japan occupies South Manchuria, how should we recover all sovereignty over this sacred territory?

Wu Luzhen fell into deep thought.
