Chapter 20 Looking Ahead
After gastric lavage, Li Shiqun was fine, and his heart was a little settled, but after two days, he suddenly vomited and diarrhea, and was in pain.
When he swallowed his breath, Li Shiqun's body had shrunk very little, his face and skin were wrinkled and shriveled like an octogenarian old man, and he explained to his subordinates in a weak voice that he wanted to avenge himself, and then whimpered for his life.
Later, I learned that the amoeba virus secretly developed by the Japanese in Li Shiqun was highly toxic cultivated from the feces of rats suffering from cholera, and after poisoning, no symptoms appeared immediately, but the bacteria multiplied rapidly, and after 36 hours, they began to vomit and diarrhea, exhausted the water of the whole body and died, and the death process was extremely painful.
Li Shiqun, the head of the No. 76 secret service who was the commander of the 76th agent and made the Shanghai citizens frightened, was killed by the Japanese in this way, and he was only 38 years old when he died.
Wu Sibao died at the hands of Li Shiqun, and Li Shiqun was poisoned by Luo Junqiang and the Japanese, since then the scenery of No. 76 is no longer there, and it is gradually declining, Wang Jingwei knows that love will be killed by the Japanese, so he has to accept the reality, send a representative to condole, and allocate another 50,000 pensions, and now the currency is depreciating, a pair of glass stockings cost 200,000, and 50,000 can only buy a few wreaths.
Li Shiqun died, it can be said that everyone is happy, whether it is the puppet government, the Japanese, or Chongqing and the New Fourth Army, they have all gone to a thorn in the flesh, everyone continues to be busy making money, the situation is as tight as a day, the Pacific Theater is a sea of corpses and blood, well-informed sources revealed that the elite of the Kwantung Army, which was originally on guard, has been transferred to Nanyang, which shows the huge gap in troops.
All kinds of resources in Shanghai are scarce, the most nervous is coal and gasoline, the power plant is short of coal, can only pull the gate and limit the electricity, but the strange thing is that those casinos and dance halls with a backstage are lit up all night, and there are no scruples about using electricity, the car class can not buy gasoline, can only modify the car, and install a charcoal-burning black iron boiler in the back, and then even charcoal can not be bought, can only be parked in the garage, and those nouveau riche who are attached to the Japanese pseudo-Japanese are changing luxury cars one after another, God knows where they got the new cars and gasoline.
At Hongqiao Airport, a transport plane without any logo landed down, the staff of the imperial organ waited here early, and a new Buick brand car was unloaded on the plane, the paint was shiny, the wheels were brand new and with burrs, this was a smuggled goods from Chongqing, although there was still a war, but this kind of secret transaction had been carried out for a long time, and the smuggled planes went back and forth between Chongqing and Shanghai, and the fighters on both sides turned a blind eye and went all the way.
After the unloading was completed, the pilot was invited to come to the Shili Ocean, first went to the Xinya Hotel for a big meal, and then the Paramount dance, the casino served at night, won his own, lost the second chief of Yan, and finally arranged a dancer to accompany him, the next morning, the pilot carried a bulging tip, with a box of antique jade celebrity calligraphy and paintings as payment back to Chongqing.
……
At a high-level salon in Chongqing, some dignitaries from political and academic circles and American friends gathered together to talk about political forms, and Chen Zikun, who had returned from the war zone, was among them.
Lin Wenlong is also here, he is a teacher of the Southwest Associated University, a member of the Democratic League, often publishes current political comments in the newspaper, and is a celebrity in the cultural circles of Chongqing, he said: "Today's China is divided into three, one is the puppet China under the rule of the Japanese, one is the feudal China in the Kuomintang ruling area, and the other is the **** in the *** ruling area. ”
Someone said: "Mr. Lin, do you mean that China's hope lies in ***?" ”
Lin Wenlong said: "I didn't say that, I just think that only ** can save China." ”
Ruan Mingchuan of Xinhua News Agency crossed Erlang's legs and said: "It's a pity, the most important place is surrounded by a large army, the troops of the national army surrounding northern Shaanxi have increased from 14 divisions to 21 divisions, and the elite army does not go to the front line to fight Japan, and sharpen knives against their own families, which is really ridiculous, ridiculous, lamentable, and sad." ”
Lin Wenlong said: "Isn't it, if it weren't for the face of American friends, Jiang would have done it a long time ago." As he spoke, he looked at Davis, the secretary of the U.S. Embassy, who was chatting and laughing with Chen Zikun not far away.
Davis is Stilwell's political adviser, and Zhou Enlai has a good relationship, once suggested to Washington to set up a consulate general in northern Shaanxi and send a military observation mission, and distribute U.S. aid materials to the *** army, he is not the only one who holds this view, the longer he lives in the Kuomintang area, the more he has such an idea, the Kuomintang is corrupt, the morale of the army is low, the commanders are corrupt, the political factions are strife, there is no intention to resist Japan, just want to sit back and enjoy the success, waiting for the United States to defeat Japan, such a regime is rotten, and vigorous *** In comparison, it's like a dying old man.
Chen Zikun worked in Washington for a period of time, mastered a lot of political and military professional vocabulary, and talked with Davis very speculatively, talking about Yan'an has expanded the airport and waiting for the US military delegation to arrive, suddenly someone broke in and shouted: "Good news! Italy has surrendered! ”
There was a silence for a while, and Chen Zikun was the first to react: "Is the news true?" ”
"It's true, the BBC broadcast, Italy officially announced its surrender." The visitor replied excitedly.
There was jubilation, and Lin Wenlong shouted: "Open beer, I'm invited!" ”
Chen Zikun smiled: "It's not your turn yet, I'll pay today." He took a bottle of beer and drank with Davis, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, the surrender of Italy is not necessarily a good thing." ”
"Oh, General Chen's opinion is very peculiar, can you explain it?" Davis Road.
Chen Zikun said: "If it weren't for the Italian Navy's lack of morale, it has not been able to destroy the British detachment in Malta, and the army has dragged down in North Africa, how could Rommel lose to Montgomery, and now that he has surrendered, he will have to declare war on the Axis powers after a while, so that Germany has one less burden, but the allies have one more pig-like teammate, how can it be a good thing." ”
Davis laughed, "It's funny, but it's worth a toast." ”
At the end of the party, many people were drunk, Chen Zikun put the drunk Lin Wenlong into his car, and when he drove home, he found that there was a car behind him unhurriedly, and immediately stopped at the roadside store to borrow a phone call, and continued to get in the car for a distance, and simply got out of the car and walked over to question, the other party politely showed the documents of the Chongqing Coordination Office of the Central Union, and asked him: "Is there a problem?" ”
Chen Zikun sneered: "What do you follow me for?" ”
"General Chen, the road to Chongqing is not your family's." A middle-aged spy with a mouth full of yellow teeth replied with no yin or yang.
Chen Zikun said: "Okay, if you want to follow, continue to follow, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
Suddenly the headlights were bright, there was a piercing sound of brakes, and the four Willys jeeps blocked the military commander's car in front and back, and a group of air force guys wearing boat-shaped hats jumped out of the car.
The two spies got up from the ground, patted the dirt on their bodies, wiped the blood on their faces, but fortunately the other party was measured and did not hurt the bones.
"Look at it, look at it again, and pick out your eyeballs!" The Yellow Tooth spy scolded the patrol policeman, sizzling and gasping for air: "Ge Laozi, the front teeth are loose, these melon babies, even the Central Command Bureau dares to fight." ”
His partner said: "It's the Flying Tigers, there's no place to be reasonable, admit it." ”
……
When Chen Zikun returned home, his five-year-old daughter Chen Jiao ran over and called her father in a milky voice, but when she saw her father moving her uncle out of the car, she hurriedly ran back to find her mother, and everyone carried Lin Wenlong into the guest room to rest.
"How do you drink like this?" Lin Wenjing blamed.
When Chen Zikun told the good news of Italy's surrender, everyone was overjoyed, but when Chen Zikun said that he was being targeted by the agents of the Central Union, everyone was worried.
"Presumably, it was you who advocated arming the Eighth Route Army and annoyed the supreme authorities, so you instructed the Central Commander to keep an eye on you." Lin Wenjing said.
Chen Zikun said: "No, I do these things above board, I don't need to be secretly watched, besides, my identity is here, no one dares to touch me, the Central Union spy is Chong Wenlong, and the articles he published in the newspaper during this time are very radical, I'm afraid I'm on the blacklist." ”
Lin Wenjing said sadly: "What can I do, Wenlong was keen on politics when he was in college in Beiping, and he was upright, and he hurt himself sooner or later." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Military and politics are men's eternal hobbies, Wenlong reads a lot of books, thinks a lot, there is nothing bad about being keen on politics, it is better than being greedy for money and sex, the world is impermanent, who can guarantee that the situation of the Kuomintang ** dominance can be maintained for a few years." ”
Lin Wenjing said: "This is what I say, and I don't dare to talk nonsense outside." ”
Chan laughed it off.
It was still early, Chen Zikun went to the study to read the newspaper, turned on the radio, lit a small cigarette pouch and swallowed the clouds, Lin Wenjing came in and stood silently behind him, helping him beat his shoulder.
"What did you mean when you said that the big picture would change?" Lin Wenjing asked.
"Japan's defeat is a matter of time, and then China will face two choices, one is to implement **, and the other is to fight a civil war." Chan said.
"Vested interests will never give up power, so they have the highest likelihood of facing civil war." Although Lin Wenjing is a woman, she is also an intellectual who has participated in the student movement, and her grasp of the political situation is very accurate.
Chen Zikun turned around and held her hand: "This is the reason why I strongly agree with the arming of the Eighth Route Army with US aid, the stronger they are, the more Chiang Kai-shek will not dare to start a civil war, I believe that under the coordination of the United States, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can lay down their arms and decide the winner with votes." ”
