"I think I can cooperate with this Zhao Zhi. What we are only giving is information in Shanxi, and we are not betraying the interests of our Eighth Route Army, maybe Zhao Zhi enters Shanxi, and it will change the offensive strategy of the Japanese army."

After Zhao Zhi secretly met Sun Jin at the hot pot restaurant, Sun Jin, whose stomach was stuffed with hot pot ingredients, informed the person in charge of the office as soon as he returned to the Eighth Route Army office. This matter involved the intelligence system of the Eighth Route Army, and the person in charge of the office could not be the master, so a telegram handed the matter to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. When Peng Dehuai slapped the table and spoke, it was these senior leaders who were discussing this matter, Zhao Zhi can fight and fight, and the senior commanders of the Eighth Route Army all know about it, but the problem is that Zhao Zhi entered Shanxi this time, and he still commanded more than 1,000 national troops under his hands, so they can't afford not to be cautious.

"I agree with the deputy commander's opinion, if you are worried about the national troops under Zhao Zhi, then we can discuss with Zhao Zhi to delineate the scope of activities. I calculated Zhao Zhi's behavior in Shanxi last time, and found that this person did not like to cooperate with other troops, and even if he cooperated, he led the battle as a commander, and in general, this person was very conceited and arrogant" Chief of Staff Ye Jianying did not shy away from his good impression of Zhao Zhi.

"I also think that Zhao Zhi's intelligence sharing can be a try, Zhao Zhi's first two battles, I have sorted it out, this person is indeed a natural soldier, and the battles he commanded are simply traceless, but they can often achieve the greatest benefits and retreat with complete victory" Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan passed on his own summary of the two battles in Zhangwu and Changxin Coal Mine to others, and he was recently compiling a book called "Ambush Tactics", and Zhao Zhi's two battles were also put in the book by him as a guide to tactics.

The debate in the conference room lasted from morning to lunchtime, but Zhu De, as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, did not say a word, he was also in favor of sharing information with Zhao Zhi, but he could not express his attitude rashly, he was still waiting, waiting for the central government in Yan'an to make a decision. After receiving the telegram from Chongqing, Zhu De immediately forwarded the telegram to the Yan'an side, and according to the information collected by the Chongqing underground party, this Zhao Zhi and Chiang Kai-shek were very close, not only going in and out of Chiang Kai-shek's villa on the south bank at will, but also helping Chiang Kai-shek establish the Geyue Mountain training camp and training thousands of elite members of the national army for Chiang Kai-shek.

Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating to resist Japan, but in some areas ruled by the national army, the situation is not very good, so Zhao Zhi, who has thousands of national troops under his command, was naturally classified into the camp of the Kuomintang, and Zhu De did not dare to agree to Zhao Zhi's request immediately, so he had to wait for the Party Central Committee to give instructions. After lunch, the command headquarters was full of smoke, and the debate over Zhao Zhi's intelligence sharing continued, Xu saw the irritability in Zhu De's heart, and the tone of both sides of the argument slowed down, only Peng Dehuai insisted on cooperating with Zhao Zhi, after all, the benefits of cooperating with Zhao Zhi were obvious.

While the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was arguing about Zhao Zhi, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an also had a dispute, and the center of the dispute was also for Zhao Zhi's intelligence sharing. Mao Zedong, who had a cigarette between his fingers, did not say a word, but looked at the argument between Kang Sheng and his supporters with a calm face, Kang Sheng was the head of the intelligence department of the Communist Party of China at the time, and he also had a lot of information about Zhao Zhi in his hands, and he naturally would not agree to share any information with Zhao Zhi, a pro-Chiang faction.

"This Zhao Zhi not only set up a training camp for Chiang Kai-shek to train soldiers, but also freely entered and exited the villa on the south bank, what does this mean, what does it mean" Kang Sheng patted the table in front of him with a sneering face, "This shows that Zhao Zhi has long become Chiang Kai-shek's lackey, otherwise Chiang Kai-shek would not have valued him so much and provided him with so many conveniences." Intelligence sharing, to put it nicely, once they are provided with intelligence, all our intelligence agents lurking in Shanxi will be exposed to their eyes, and if Chiang Kai-shek changes his position, our comrades who are lurking will be in danger of their lives, have you thought about all this? ”

Although Kang Sheng has no good impression of Zhao Zhi, his words also represent the hearts of some people, compared to the materials provided by Zhao Zhi for the Eighth Route Army, it is more important to have his own lives. "Minister Kang, you can't say that, you can't overturn a boatload of people with one rod, Zhao Zhi set up a training camp for Chiang Kai-shek to train soldiers, this is true, but according to the information from the underground party comrades in Chongqing, this Zhao Zhi and Chiang Kai-shek are only cooperation in interests, and there is no relationship between them and subordinates, so we can't say that Zhao Zhi is Chiang Kai-shek's lackey" Li Kenong, deputy minister of the Ministry of Intelligence, obviously disagreed with Kang Sheng's statement.

The intelligence part of the CCP is divided into two parts, Li Kenong is in charge of sitting in Yan'an, and Pan Hannian, who has rich experience behind enemy lines, is active behind enemy lines, and Kang Sheng, who bears the name of intelligence minister, is actually a minister who signs, and almost all the specific work of the intelligence department is completed in Li Kenong's hands. Li Kenong began to pay attention to Zhao Zhi or after Changxin Coal Mine and Ping'an Town, a platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army was tied up by Zhao Zhi's people, and this situation reported level by level aroused Li Kenong's interest, and at this point, Zhao Zhi entered Li Kenong's sight.

From the information from the Chongqing underground party and the Shanghai underground party, Li Kenong can draw a conclusion that Zhao Zhi will not defect to the Kuomintang, and there is only the word profit in this person's creed. It is not difficult to see from Zhao Zhi's past actions that Zhao Zhi is a person who plans and then acts, and once he decides on the goal, he will move forward and never give up until he reaches his goal. Since he set up a mercenary unit in Shanghai, he has been taking dozens of people into Shanxi to fight against the Japanese army, and successively taking Zhangwu County and Ping'an Town, seemingly in order to kill the Japanese army and rescue prisoners of war, but in fact it is to arouse the idea of Chiang Kai-shek and the Eighth Route Army, and now he proposes to share information with the Eighth Route Army, Li Kenong feels that he is becoming more and more unable to see through this Zhao Zhi.

Although Li Kenong couldn't see through Zhao Zhi's style of acting, he was very sure that Zhao Zhi would not be an enemy of the Eighth Route Army, because there was no conflict of interest between the Eighth Route Army and Zhao Zhi at all, on the contrary, the Eighth Route Army got a lot of convenience from Zhao Zhi, at least those weapons picked up for nothing could arm a lot of troops. "My opinion is that we can agree to Zhao Zhi's request, but the information we provide is limited to Shanxi, and we have to send people into Zhao Zhi's troops to control the whereabouts of this information" After pondering for a moment, Li Kenong threw out his thoughts.
