Qian Zhuangfei and Hu Di's covert investigation of Xi'an did not achieve much results, but only caught some small fish and shrimp from the peripheral organizations of the Kuomintang secret service agencies, and arrested four special agents along the way.

This is also in Liu Yimin's expectation, thinking that although Dai Li is lustful and has a surname, he is indeed an agent wizard in modern history, where would he not think of the possible revenge? Its core members naturally retreated with one blow, so how could they let the Red Army seize it and then exchange it with him?

In fact, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan judged very accurately, and this incident was indeed planned by Dai Li. However, some changes occurred during the implementation of the law, and this unseemly method had to be adopted.

It turned out that after Chiang Kai-shek asked Dai Li to take erotic action against Liu Yimin, Dai Li hurriedly arranged it. He has already learned about Liu Yimin from various channels, established a special file, and knows that this person is knowledgeable, talented, heroic, and skilled, and the guards around him are very strong. Therefore, after receiving the principal's instruction that he should stop assassinating again, but seize the temptation with female sex, so that [***] no longer trust and reuse Liu Yimin, Dai Li tried his best to formulate three strategies:

The best strategy is to make Liu Yimin completely fall in love with the woman he sent, and finally lead the troops to defect due to love, giving [***] a fatal blow; The middle strategy is to let the female spies he selects attract Liu Yimin's attention, work beside Liu Yimin, master the secrets of the Red Army, lurk for a long time, and fight back at a critical time; The next strategy is to let Liu Yimin fall into the peach-colored trap of the female spy he sent, cause Liu Yimin to be emotionally entangled with the spy, and induce [***] high-level doubts about Liu Yimin's political character, at least cut off his military power, and reduce Liu Yimin's destructive effect on the party-state to a lower level.

Considering that Liu Yimin is young and promising, versatile, and his vision must be extremely high, and it is difficult for ordinary women to enter the eyes of the law, Dai Li made a lot of efforts to find a female student with an innocent background and first-class character from Jinling University, and then instructed the spies to fabricate charges and arrest her parents, so that the female student begged everywhere to save her parents, and finally under the guidance of well-wishers, she naturally begged in front of Dai Li. After some coercion and temptation, the schoolgirl who was eager to save her parents finally gave in. Dai Lian trained her again to master some basic skills. After confirming that everything was ready, Dai Li sent a few henchmen to escort the female student into Xi'an.

In Dai Li's mind, this woman is so educated and good-looking, she is definitely one in a million, and it is impossible for Liu Yimin not to take the bait. Just wait for the good news to come, so that the commission will be rewarded!

Who knew that such a perfect plan could not be implemented, for no other reason, these spies and the woman lived in Xi'an for a long time, and spent a lot of money, but they couldn't see Liu Yimin at all. The spies had no choice, so they thought about taking advantage of the opportunity of the Red Army's expansion of popularity, and let women join the Red Army, so as to get close to Liu Yimin.

The woman did join the Red Army, but because of her culture, she was assigned to the task force, and walked the streets and alleys of Xi'an every day, mobilizing women to get up to read, engage in production, and support the Red Army. After coming and going, the woman didn't listen to the command very much. A few spies watched it as a play, and if they didn't pay attention to the fact that this woman was converted, they might rise up and lead someone to arrest them. In desperation, several spies had no choice but to kidnap the woman and quietly leave the task force, escape from Xi'an, and report back to Nanjing.

Dai Li, seeing the failure of the operation, reflected on it, knowing that since Liu Yimin was assassinated, he was heavily guarded, and if he did not go through the special channels of [***], even if you were a fairy, you would not be trusted, let alone anything else.

Dai Li had no choice but to adopt a method that was not a way to make Liu Yimin stink.

He thought about it, if he wanted to stink Liu Yimin, he didn't need to spend so much effort at all, as long as he had a coincidence, he could succeed with just one move. It just so happened that several newspapers in Shanghai applied to go to Xi'an for interviews, but they were never approved, so Dai Li's slight means made the four newspapers send female reporters. In Dai Li's mind, these female reporters have a high level of education, are generally more radical in their thinking, their style is relatively bold, and they have a strong curiosity hunting mentality.

As for arranging female spies among reporters, Dai Li didn't even think about it, he knew that it would be self-defeating because it would be discovered by the red agents of [***]. But he found a male reporter, Xu Yili, and his task was to see which female reporter was allowed to interview Liu Yimin alone.

As soon as the reporter group set off from Shanghai, Dai Li ordered the spies to take action, fabricate articles in Xi'an, prepare for printing, and distribution, and quickly retreat after completing the task. As for who the heroine in the article is, Dai Li's instructions are very clear, whoever can interview Liu Yimin alone is who.

Things are really as Dai Li estimated, because the identities of these reporters have been verified and there is no complicated background, the interview in Xi'an went very smoothly, and Liu Yimin was also interviewed collectively. Two of the young female reporters became interested in Liu Yimin out of their journalistic sensitivities, and they got another opportunity to interview.

So, the heroine in the article made up by the spies appeared, with a name and a surname, and even her appearance, height, age, education, and place of origin were clear, and she was not afraid that she would not believe it.

Dai Li could not have imagined that he could not even talk about Liu Yimin's understanding of the surface, and this kind of indiscriminate means not only did not achieve the goal, but aroused the vigilance of the Red Army's security department, and raised Liu Yimin's guard level by one level.

However, Dai Li also has a backhand, and he believes that one day he will meet Liu Yimin, and the woman who has been chosen by thousands of people will finally come in handy. Therefore, instead of embarrassing the woman, he told her to go back to her studies and wait for orders at any time.

The handling of this matter was calm: During the interrogation process, the captured special agents were all given a whole life by the special combat team without seeing anyone or dead body, those small fish and shrimp were also taken to repair roads, and the owner of the printing house was also released after explaining the ins and outs of the matter in the newspaper. As for Cai Zhong, Hu Di, and Qian Zhuangfei's proposal to thoroughly rectify the journalism industry in Xi'an and shut down several newspapers and radio stations that were not very progressive, Liu Yimin resolutely rejected them. The reason is very simple, if we want to be a model for safeguarding the people's freedom of speech and freedom of the press, if all newspapers and radio stations are one voice, wouldn't they not even be able to hear different opinions?

The matter was over here, but no one expected that Jingjing would cause trouble for Liu Yimin.

After seeing the newspapers distributed by the spies, Jingjing was so angry that she trembled all over, and she hid under the covers and cried all night.

After crying, Jingjing thought that she complained that she didn't do her job well, and she should have publicized his deeds a long time ago and let the masses know about him. Always thinking that he was unwilling to promote himself, as the deputy editor-in-chief of the Legion Newspaper, he had to carry out his orders, which made the spies take advantage of loopholes, fabricate lies, and deceive the masses. Now these villains are so bad for him and his sweetheart, so that he has lost his prestige in the eyes of the people of Xi'an. If you don't fight back, the deputy editor-in-chief of your own legion newspaper will be in vain!

You must pick up the pen in your hand and tell the people of Xi'an a real Liu Yimin!

So, Jingjing wrote a long newsletter "People's Hero Liu Yimin", writing all the deeds of Liu Yimin, including sending clothes and food to the boatman's family by the Wujiang River, returning the seized industrial and commercial assets in Zhenyuan, writing an inscription for Moutai wine in Moutai Town, drinking tea and listening to opera in a teahouse in Chengdu, the assassination of Wuhou Temple, saving the life of the cooking squad leader in Hanzhong, worshipping the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, the inscription of Hongshixia in Yulin and a party with Mongolian compatriots, being a guest in a farmhouse in Hanzhong, and painting oil paintings for Tang Xingying in northern Shaanxi, etc. wrote Liu Yimin as a model of the times who is brave and loyal, has great military achievements, is handsome, versatile, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, is clean and self-conscious, and there is no shortage in heaven and earth.

In the end, Jingjing's brain was flooded, and she actually wrote: "Comrade Liu Yimin is not only a people's hero and a model of the times, but also the dream of my daughter's family." Although I can't be called a national beauty, I graduated from Peking * University, and my appearance is acceptable, so I can be regarded as a lady. On my terms, it's impossible to ask him to take care of me, where is the turn of those shameless female spies to appear on the stage and dirty people's eyes and ears? It can be seen that the spy trick is nothing more than that! ”

Some of the facts in this article were experienced by Jingjing herself, and some were told to her by her comrades-in-arms, but they are indeed facts. In addition, Jingjing is excited and has profound writing skills, and the writing is well-founded, well-organized, full of voices, and flowers, and there are two full editions, which are extremely heavy. Therefore, Cai Zhong didn't think so much about it when he reviewed it, and he also felt that it was necessary to correct the name of the legion commander. As for what was said in the last paragraph of the article, Jingjing explained that this was to refute the falsehood of the spies' rumors from the side. Because Luo Ronghuan went to Huang Su to check the training of recruits and was not at the corps headquarters, Cai Zhong agreed to publish it.

After the article was published in the "Battle Banner Newspaper", it first caused a sensation among the troops of the Seventh Army Corps, and the newspaper that was given away for free was snatched up and had to be reprinted. Many fighters come up with money for perks and incentives to buy. Then it caused a sensation among the citizens of Xi'an, and all the newspapers in Xi'an reprinted the article, and the sales volume doubled continuously. In the end, even newspapers in Taiyuan, Beiping, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Guilin, which were far away, received telegrams from Xi'an Newspaper and began to forward them in full, continuing to create a sensational effect.

When Chiang Kai-shek saw this article, he called Dai Li and asked him why he had done everything so badly every time.

Dai Li, standing straight, sweat on his forehead, respectfully reported the operation to the principal in detail. However, he defended that this operation should be said to be successful, without this counterattack article, this operation would only disgust Liu Yimin and disgust [***] among the people of Xi'an, and it is very difficult to say whether it can make [***] high-level people suspicious of Liu Yimin. Well, now that this article is available, the [***] high-level will definitely think that Liu Yimin is singing praises for himself and stretching out his hand to ask for official power, and there will inevitably be a rift between them. Especially the stupid girl who wrote this article, openly expressed her crush on Liu Yimin at the end, which will inevitably cause disgust from [***] high-level officials, and even cause great disaster for Liu Yimin. From this point of view, with the cooperation of this stupid girl, our operation can be regarded as complete and successful.

With this explanation, Chiang Kai-shek's face looked good. Because Chiang Kai-shek was well versed in the art of power, he understood what the superior liked, hated, and suspected.

Chiang Kai-shek picked up the pen, approved a bonus slip of 50,000 yuan, handed it to Dai Li, and said earnestly: "Yu Nong, remember what I used to say, to deal with [***] is three points military and seven points political." Liu Yimin is very harmful, and he must be pulled over or removed. Since we can't get rid of him, we must learn from the ancients and solve him with the hand of [***]. Wouldn't it be very successful for us to solve Xu Jishen? We must use our brains more, think of more ways, keep in mind the spirit of Whampoa, and persevere. I have heard that the girl you are looking for is of the first class in character and talent, so don't frighten her or threaten her, but move her so that she will consciously and voluntarily serve our revolution. You can show her this newspaper and let her know that the task given to her is to make such a good person fall in love with her and not disgrace her. If she can make Liu Yimin fall in love with her, we can hold a wedding for them in Nanjing, and my wife and I will go to attend in person. As for Liu Yimin, if he wants to be an official, we can make him the provincial chairman; If you want to lead the troops, the [***] troops are chosen by him; If you want to be idle, you can give him a house and a car in Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Yucheng; If you want to go abroad, you can give him a dollar so that he and the girl can have no worries about food and clothing in the United States. In short, in a word, let the girl pull Liu Yimin over. It's really not good, but also to make Liu Yimin fall in love with her, causing distrust of him within the Communist Party. Do you understand what I say? ”

Dai Li hurriedly stood up to explain the report, and then said cautiously: "Report to the principal, from the information obtained so far, Liu Yimin has not been married for a long time, his wife is very beautiful, and the relationship between husband and wife is very deep. Coupled with this silly girl who writes articles, Liu Yimin should have no shortage of suitors. If you use a female color again, the students are afraid that the effect will not be good, which will affect the overall situation of the principal's planning. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said arbitrarily: "Men are all lustful!" Young talents like Liu Yimin are more likely to be lustful! The key is whether the beauty you are looking for is beautiful or not, and whether it can impress him. As long as that girl is really good, Liu Yimin will definitely be fooled! The ancients said that as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. Can't we revolutionary soldiers even compare with the ancients? ”

When Dai Li saw that the principal said this, he dared to say more, and hurriedly promised that he would follow it, and then left Chiang Kai-shek's office with a bonus of 50,000 yuan.

This article was also seen by Kenji Dohihara, the head of the secret service of the military Mukden. Kenji Dohihara was born on August 8, 1883 in a samurai family in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, where his father, Yoshinaga Dohihara, was a major general in the Army. In October 1904, Kenji Dohihara graduated with honors from the 16th Infantry Department of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, where he was classmates with Okamura Ninji, Itagaki Seishiro, and Yan Xishan. In November 1912, Kenji Tsuchihara graduated from the 24th class of the Army University, entered the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army in January of the following year, and went to China in July to engage in espionage activities, serving as the adjutant of Sakanishi Rihachiro, the military attache in China. This Rihachiro Sakanishi served as an adviser to the seventh president of Beiyang, and was the second-generation head of the special service in China. Kenji Dohihara studied under Banxi for five years and was the most proud disciple of Banxi. Kenji Dohihara can speak fluent Yanjing dialect, can also speak several dialects, familiar with "Water Margin" and "Three Kingdoms", is a famous Chinese expert in the army. In appearance, he is polite and polite, trustworthy, and still promised, and even Ma Zhanshan and Song Zheyuan said that he does not deceive people and counts when he speaks. In fact, this person is extremely cunning and vicious inside, single-handedly planned the "918" incident, supported Pu Yi to establish Manchukuo, and is now planning to implement the autonomy of North China in Tianjin.

Historically, Kenji Tsuchihara was awarded the rank of army general, and after the war, he was sentenced to a Class A war criminal by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and the first to be hanged.

After reading Jingjing's article published in the Tianjin newspaper, a smile flashed on Kenji Dohihara's face that was not easy to detect, and he immediately called the spy in charge of the archives of the Fengtian secret service and asked him to immediately set up a file for Liu Yimin and collect all the information about Liu Yimin.

After the explanation, a thought flashed in Kenji Dohihara's heart, it seems that he has to talk more about the issue of joint defense against communism with Chiang Kai-shek.

When Li Jie and Huang Wei saw the newspaper, they had already returned to Shanghai.

The trip to Xi'an was very fruitful, and both reporters wrote a lot of weighty articles, and the newspaper owner rewarded them.

Before she could spend her winnings, Jingjing's article was reprinted in a Shanghai newspaper. Only then did the two girls realize that they had been used by the spies. Li Jie couldn't rub a fool in his eyes, and immediately sent a telegram to the newspaper office in Xi'an, asking for the original manuscript of the newspaper distributed by the spies.

Both girls are educated in Western style, unlike most female comrades in that era, who would only cry when they were bullied, but to clarify the facts and seek justice. The two of them discussed and discussed, and felt that it would be too bad to say that this breath would be too bad, and decided to jointly hold a press conference to clarify the facts.

Thus, one of the great spectacles in the history of journalism emerged, when two female journalists held a press conference for themselves.

At the meeting, Li Jie and Huang Wei gave a detailed account of what they had seen and heard during their trip to Xi'an, and gave an objective introduction to the Red Army's strict discipline and the benefits of the people of Shaanxi. Then, it is to expose the ulterior motives of some people, using their objective and fair interviews to fabricate lies, slander the Red Army generals, and insult the innocence of the two of them. The two of them recounted the reasons and experiences of their interview with Liu Yimin. In the end, the two female journalists lodged a strong protest with the national political axe, demanding that the political axe guarantee press freedom, guarantee the rights and interests of journalists, and hold the rumor-mongers accountable.

Of course, everyone, including Li Jie and Huang Wei, knew that in that era, the protests were ineffective, and the rumor-mongers could not be held responsible. Because everyone knows who is spreading rumors, but no one can do anything about them.
