"Sir, there is a gentleman outside who claims to be Wu Hao who wants to see you, and he also brings two retinues and a large box." Luo Ying, who was still wrapped in gauze on his hand, knocked on the door and came in, just as Zhao Zhi had just gotten up and cleaned himself up. All the way from Jiaodong to Chongqing, Zhao Zhi and his mercenaries were very tired, and when they entered the hotel arranged by Dai Li, Zhao Zhi fell asleep at the end, and when Luo Ying came in, Zhao Zhi had slept for more than three hours.

"Wu Hao?" Zhao Zhi, who was washing his face, was a little confused, there seemed to be no such person among the people he knew, and the news of his return to Chongqing was strictly confidential, except for the government and the military commander, no one else seemed to know about it, how did this Wu Hao know about it? "Who is this Wu Hao?" Together with Luo Ying, there is also a liaison officer left by Dai Li, the military commander is the head snake, and Zhao Zhi still has a lot of things to do with the help of the military commander, so he can't refuse Dai Li to leave this female military commander in the hotel, but now it can come in handy. , "CCP, Zhou." The female military commander left by Dai Li gestured to Zhao Zhi and did not speak, but just wrote a few words on the table with her hands dipped in water, and then gestured to Zhao Zhi that someone was eavesdropping. After reading the three words written on the table by the female military commander, Zhao Zhi somewhat understood, no matter how this person surnamed Zhou could call the name Wu Hao, he was a member of the CCP, but what Zhao Zhi didn't understand was why the woman left by Dai Li reminded himself that there was a surveillance? Is she a military commander or a member of the CCP?

Xu saw Zhao Zhi's doubts, and the female military commander who Dai Li stayed in the hotel smiled and took out a pen and paper and a document from her pocket, "Cao Shuyan, a member of the Military Command Special Operations Team, is only responsible for Director Dai, with the rank of major." Cao Shuyan wrote a few lines on the paper fluently, and seeing that Zhao Zhi still shook his head, Cao Shuyan bit his lip and added another line of words to it, "Director Dai is a person who believes in Buddhism, pays attention to karma, the Kuomintang and the CCP are not incompatible, and everything is left to meet in the future." ”

"Oh" Zhao Zhi read these things written by Cao Shuyan with a smile on his face, and now he understands what Dai Li means, this guy wants to settle on both sides, and no one can be offended. Cai Shuyan reminded herself that there was monitoring here, and it was also out of Dai Li's instructions, this guy wanted to please all three parties. "Since that's the case, you go and invite this Mr. Wu Hao in, all the guests come to the door, and our thunder is not unsightly." Zhao Zhi motioned to Luo Ying to invite someone to come in to meet, he was not afraid that a listening device had been installed in the hotel, anyway, he had no deep friendship with the CCP.

"Miss Cao, you go and change into this military uniform, and come to act as my record secretary for the time being, the people of your military commander in the province are suspicious." Zhao Zhi did not ask Chiang Kai-shek for a place, so he was naturally not afraid that the news of his meeting with the CCP would be known to Chiang Kai-shek, and leaving Cao Shuyan was also to reassure Dai Li, so that he would know that there was no shady deal between him and the CCP.

"Should I call you General Zhang or Mr. Zhao?" Wu Hao, who was dressed in a long robe, was attracted by Luo Ying, and when the person who claimed to be Wu Hao stretched out his hand to him, Zhao Zhicai suddenly realized that he got up and greeted him, and he guessed that Wu Hao, who had been in a long time, would actually be the heavyweight of the CCP - Zhou Enlai. Zhao Zhi didn't know that most of the high-level leaders of the CCP had the experience of using pseudonyms, Wu Hao was a pseudonym used by Zhou Enlai, and Zhou Enlai had more than one pseudonym, Feifei, Wu Hao, Shaoshan, and Guansheng were all former names used by Zhou Enlai.

China and the Kuomintang collected information about Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Zhi also used some means to collect a lot of information about the other party, Zhou Enlai has the reputation of a beautiful man and a wise man in the CCP, and Zhao Zhi naturally will not miss him. As soon as he saw Zhou Enlai, Zhao Zhi overlapped the man with a warm smile on his face and the photos in the secret file. "Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you to come, welcome." Stretching out his hand to shake Zhou Enlai, Zhao Zhi, who had a smile in his eyes, did not hide his good impression of Zhou Enlai.

"Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be polite, just call me by my name, the others are all false names, I don't care very much." beckoned Zhou Enlai to sit down, Zhao Zhi asked Luo Ying to bring coffee, Zhou Enlai is a foreigner and is no stranger to coffee. After the two sides put down the coffee cups, Zhao Zhi asked what he meant, "I wonder how Mr. Zhou learned the news that I returned to Chongqing?" What are you here for? ”

"You went back to Chongqing with a flying formation, how could I not know such a big movement, General Zhang's prestige is famous in Chongqing, and it is not difficult to inquire about your whereabouts." It is impossible for Zhou Enlai to tell Zhao Zhi the CCP's intelligence channels, the relationship between Zhao Zhi and Chiang Kai-shek has always been incomprehensible to the CCP.

"No way, there are too many brothers coming back with me, and one or two transport planes are not enough at all." Zhao Zhi seemed to be a little embarrassed and smiled, the plane that came back with him was not all filled with mercenaries, as well as Yan Wudao, and a large number of gold, silver, calligraphy, and painting antiques that they brought out from Jinan. The territory laid down was given to the national army, what is that property, not to mention that Zhao Zhi raised so many troops, the cost is indispensable.

"I have admired General Zhang for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see him, it just so happened that we came to Chongqing this time to talk with the Kuomintang on joint anti-Japanese matters, and I heard that General Zhang returned to Chongqing, so Zhou came uninvited, and asked General Zhang to forgive me if he didn't go there." Zhou Enlai didn't pretend to greet people, and soon mastered the rhythm of the conversation between the two, so that Zhao Zhi's train of thought had to follow his words. "This is the saber of Abe Norihide, the flower of the famous Japanese army killed by the Eighth Route Army in 39 years, as the saying goes, the sword is given to the hero, and Zhou will give this saber to General Zhang on behalf of us, and I hope that General Zhang will make new contributions on the battlefield of resistance against Japan in the future."

Abe Norihide is the commander of the second independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, and was surrounded and suppressed by the Eighth Route Army in the loess slope in 39 years, Abe Norihide has the title of the flower of famous generals in the Japanese army, how can Zhao Zhi not know this person. Receiving the saber handed by Zhou Enlai's entourage, Zhao Zhi did not take out the saber to play with it like ordinary people, but just handed the saber to Luo Ying, who was standing behind him, with a flat expression.

Zhao Zhi was so styled, Zhou Enlai didn't say anything, but the two entourages who came with him were not happy, Abe Guixiu's saber, what a name it was, for this saber, the commanders of several main forces were anxious to fight, and in the end, Chairman Mao Zedong came forward to understand the matter. "Master, is this knife going to be put into the knife storehouse? I saw that this Abe Norihide was just a brigade commander, and the Japanese sabers in our knife store were all sabers of division commanders. Unable to tolerate the hostility of the two guys on the other side towards his husband, Luo Ying, who was carrying a saber, lifted the lid.

The mercenaries cleaned the battlefield as thoroughly as locusts crossing the border, all the things left by the Japanese puppet army, including their military uniforms, were stripped naked and brought back for backup, and the Japanese command knife in Zhao Zhi's hand could fill an entire warehouse. The Thunder mercenaries are well-equipped, and the mercenaries can't look down on those Japanese command knives, a saber belonging to Abe Norihide, and Zhao Zhi can't be interested. "The child is not big or small, let Mr. Zhou smile." Turning around and glaring at Luo Ying, Zhao Zhi smiled and played a round, but he did not say anything to reprimand Luo Ying.

Zhou Enlai's intention was very simple, and after chatting with Zhao Zhi for a few words, Zhao Zhi figured out his intention. "Mr. Zhou, it's not me Zhao Zhi's hypocrisy, although our Thunder is anti-Japanese, but we are only a guest army in China, and we have no right to manage the controlled area. Fighting against the Japanese army is just because we Thunder accepted the employment of the Nationalist Government, and fighting for our employer is the creed of our mercenaries, as for the aftermath, it is not something that we Thunder can control, you should negotiate with the Nationalist Government. ”

Zhou Enlai's intention today is very simple, that is, he hopes that Zhao Zhi can order the troops left in the war zone to take proper care of the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and it is best to open the passage from Shanxi to the outside world, so that the Eighth Route Army can go out of Jin and fight smoothly. Thunder and the 74th Army strongly won the first line of Jinan, Dezhou, Binzhou and the entire Jiaodong, which turned the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in Shandong upside down, but the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi did not borrow to the east, because they did not have access to the outside world.

Wanyan rejected Zhou Enlai's proposal, and continued to greet for a while, Zhao Zhi personally sent Zhou Enlai and others out of the hotel, he had already made it clear that he would not participate in the affairs between the United Nations and the Communist Party, even if the people in the military command saw that he sent Zhou Enlai out of the hotel, it was not a big deal, Zhao Zhi did not believe that the Kuomintang people dared to attack him. "What the hell are they here for, sir? Why did you sit for a while without a head and then leave? After returning to the room, Luo Ying, who didn't know what was going on, couldn't hide the question in his heart and asked it.

Seeing that Cao Shuyan, who had changed into an American-style military uniform, was also inquiring, Zhao Zhi explained to them, and then said with a smile, "Now you know, the CCP's intention is not only for that matter, but also for their rash visit to the door to plant a thorn in the thorn between us and the national government, as long as this thorn takes root and sprouts, it can successfully divide and divide the cooperative relationship between us." ”

"This is still a discordant plan, I knew that this was the case, then I couldn't have called them in just now, just let Eugene beat them out, and it would save us trouble." The angry Luo Ying was like a very anxious little cockfighting cub, and he talked a lot about Balabala in front of Zhao Zhi, making Zhao Zhi and Cao Shuyan laugh.
