The plan was decided, and the officers resigned. Chang Kaishen was about to summon Dai Li to "make a big move" or something, but he was furious by an unexpected letter. It turned out that after Dai Li was beaten and scolded by the chairman of the committee, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he actually handed over his resignation. What's even more amazing is that Boss Dai wrote a 38-page long letter in just one afternoon (this code word speed really makes the mountain people ashamed, what kind of watch do I need if I want this speed, oh no, what do I want to be subsid). Of course, Comrade Chang Kaishen definitely didn't have the heart to appreciate Boss Dai's code speed, but was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

Anyway, what is Boss Dai going to do? It turned out that some time ago, Zhang Chao, deputy head of the Fujian Station of the Military Command, conspired to overthrow Chen Yi, chairman of Fujian Province. Unexpectedly, he was not secret, but was killed by Chen Yi. At that time, Dai Li's success was smooth sailing, and he was a smash hit, and the military command that he had developed single-handedly was also expanding at a high speed, when did he suffer such a big loss? So he angrily ran to Chang Kaishen to sue the royal complaint.

To say that Chen Yi did this thing is indeed inappropriate. Even if Zhang Chao deserves to die, you can't kill people as the provincial chairman? However, he was not only a fellow villager from Zhejiang Province who was the chairman of the committee, but also a senior member of the Department of Political Science (an important faction of the Kuomintang at the time). In addition, Chen Yi made many friends when she studied in Japan, several of which were the leaders of the Japanese army invading China at this time. Chang Kaishen also counted on Chen Yi to rely on his personal connections to ensure that Fujian was not subject to war, and at the same time to provide a barrier for Jiangxi, northern Guangdong, southern Zhejiang, etc., and it was impossible for him to be touched in public or private. So Zhang Chao died in vain, who called him not eye-catching?

Of course. The reason why Dai Li "sought justice" for Zhang Chao regardless of his face was not because he was "such a good comrade", but because Chen Yi's move greatly undermined the prestige of the military commander and Dai Li himself. A Chen Yi jumped out today, and tomorrow others will follow suit, will there still be a place for the military commander? So I'd rather quit than fight to the end.

The chairman of the committee originally had an opinion on Chen Yi, but Dai Li's nonsense also made him very angry, so he slapped the table and scolded: "Niang Xipi, how dare you threaten the leader so much? may have really been dizzy, and even said: "I have never been threatened by others, and I have not been coerced by my mother since I was a child." ”

It's all said and done. Dai Li still twisted his neck and said that he wanted to "avenge the deceased." Seek protection for the living". The chairman thought to himself, you don't understand my suffering, and you dare to persecute the leader like this? So in a fit of rage, he used the hooligan methods he learned from Shanghai Tang. is the scene that Lin Wei saw when he first came back during the day.

Now, as soon as he saw the resignation letter, the chairman of the committee was even more angry. But after all, he is a generation of heroes, and he can afford to put it down. If you think about it carefully, you really can't do without Dai Li. And the Faculty of Political Science is its own help. Aren't the Whampoa family, the Blue Coat Society, and the military commander their descendants? If even a loyal person like Dai Lian left him. Who will be with you in the future?

So he hurriedly sent someone to call Dai Li, and comforted him in a soft voice: "Yu Nong, you can't blackmail the revolutionary leader like this. A person who is in charge of revolutionary work is not allowed to resign casually, and I have asked you to do this, and I have no intention of calling anyone to replace you! ”

Then the conversation changed and further enlightened that Chen Yi's problem is not a Chen Yi, he is a person from the Department of Political Science, including Zhang Qun, Weng Wenhao, Wei Daoming, Zhang Jia, He Lian, the party-state center, Xiong Shihui, Wu Dingchang, Wu Tiecheng, Shen Honglie, and other feudal officials, as well as Jiang Tinghuang, these ambassadors abroad, all of whom have a relationship with Chen Yi. Many of them have contributed greatly to the anti-communist cause of the party-state in the past and have helped me a lot. Today, there are quite a few scholars in politics, and I am about to use them to improve the image of the government and serve the cause of the party-state. Since their leader Yang Yongtai was killed in Wuchang, these people have all been suspicious, trembling, and shocking each other. I am about to comfort them so that they can work with peace of mind. We must not alarm them again and shake the overall situation for the sake of one Zhang Chao. You are a good student of mine, so you must be considerate of my hard work. As for Li Jinde (the executor of Zhang Chao's case and Chen Yi's confidant), I will now order his removal from the post of police chief and continue to examine him. You also go back and think about it, Zhang Chao's matter is not allowed to be mentioned again, and the matter of resignation is not allowed to be mentioned again.

Dai Li was very moved after hearing this, because this was the first time Chang Kaishen communicated with him from the bottom of his heart. He immediately said that he would "uphold the leader's will and understand the leader's painstaking efforts," and after he returned, he told his subordinates that "everything we do is based on these 12 words, the former is the spirit of the revolution, and the latter is the technique of the revolution."

Seeing that Boss Dai finally changed his mind, the chairman of the committee was also "relieved", so he gave him a general explanation of the crisis facing Central China.

Dai Li's mind has been full of Zhang Chao's affairs for the past few days, and he didn't understand it for a while, so he said suspiciously: "Does the commission mean that you want to draw the military strength of the military commander to participate in the war?" ”

Although the military command was only a spy organization, Dai Li's ambitions were extremely great, and he openly and secretly set up a large-scale armed force, the most famous of which was the "Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army" operating in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and later there was also a "traffic police force", which was so powerful that Chang Kaishen stepped sideways. Of course, now that the Anti-Japanese War has just begun, Boss Dai does not have any decent weapons in his hands.

Chang Kaishen waved his hand and said: "The strength of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army is too weak, even if all of them are transferred to Wuhan, I am afraid it will not be useless." If you want to relieve the siege of Central China, you have to send troops from North China. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Dai Li immediately understood, and hurriedly asked, "Commission, where is the focus of our work?" Yan Baichuan, Balu, or Zheng Huzi? ”

Chang Kaishen said: "Of course it's Zheng Huzi, apart from the Japanese army, who else in North China is more powerful than him?" He asked again: "Didn't I ask you to pay more attention to this person some time ago?" How's everything going? ”

Dai Li said with some embarrassment: "We have installed several groups of comrades in the report committee, but no progress has been made in the work. And this person has a very high prestige, and his subordinates are very loyal. There was one thing he was embarrassed to report, that is, several members of the military command actually "turned back" and switched to Zheng Huzi.

Chang Kaishen said: "Isn't Zheng Huzi still married? As the saying goes, when you are a soldier for three years, the sow is a sable cicada. If you send a few beautiful spies from the bureau to Jizhong, I don't believe that he is tempted. Isn't there a guy in your bureau named Xiang Yingxin? I heard that she has a lot of ability, so I thought it would be better to send her. ”

Dai Li said ashamedly: "I've tried it, but it's useless." This Zheng beard is too alert, and he can see through Xiang Yingxin's identity at a glance, which makes us lose face. ”

Xiang Yingxin was once the number one female spy of the military commander, and she made great contributions in dealing with the rest of Yang Huchen, assassinating Yin Rugeng, and cracking down on the CC system. Zheng Huzi happened to see her photo before the crossing, so naturally he would not take the bait. However, for the sake of Xiang Yingxin's suicide to assassinate the traitor alone, he didn't embarrass her.

Chang Kaishen himself was also young, and he didn't want to believe that there were still men in this world who were not moved by beautiful women. Puzzled: "Isn't this Zheng beard humane?" ”

Dai Li smiled. He said, "That's not it." It's just that according to our observations, we found that he only has a crush on female students, and we can't find a spy with a pure temperament and good at grasping the minds of men, and it is not very satisfactory to train a few. If you don't train. I'm afraid it's useless to send it. When the time comes, it will be a laughing stock. ”

Chang Kaishen was speechless when he heard this. After a while, he said helplessly: "Could it be that this Zheng Huzi has already cultivated to the point of having no desires at a young age!" ”

Dai Li explained: "That's not true, it's just that with his current status similar to Yan Baichuan, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a little golden silk woman to impress him." Since it is difficult for us to sell and control Yan Baichuan. Naturally, it will be difficult to deal with this new anti-Japanese general. ”

Chang Kaishen nodded and said, "Well, you're right. In addition to money and beauty, it is a reputation status. You mean to give him another level? "Zheng Huzi is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the theater and the commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army, and he will be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Jicha theater, that is, Lu Zhonglin's position. The commander-in-chief of Lu is currently fighting for territory with the Eighth Route in southern Hebei, but he has no direct troops in his hands, so he can only rely on some miscellaneous forces. These troops can't fight Japan, but they are first-class in harming the common people. The deer ghost didn't fight for much territory, but his reputation was stinky.

Despite this, Dai Li still didn't dare to say much about personnel issues, and hurriedly explained: "This student just said casually, and the specific arrangement has to be decided by the principal himself." ”

Chang Kaishen sighed and said, "As long as Zheng Weiguo is willing to share the worries of the party and the state, why should I cherish an official hat?" I'm afraid that he will have to occupy this position, and it will be even more difficult to govern. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but regret a little, he had known that Lu Dao would not have transferred the 53rd Army and other units to North China.

At the beginning, the chairman of the committee saw the rapid expansion of the Eighth Route Army behind the enemy, so he wanted to use the power of the Northeast Army to stop the development of the Eighth Route Army behind the enemy, but he did not expect Zheng Huzi to take the opportunity to develop. Now Zheng Weiguo's department has more than 100,000 troops, covering an area of more than 70 counties, and has become a force that cannot be ignored in North China. And the few fetters that Chang Kaishen set for Zheng Huzi, if the veterans of the Northeast Army, the officers of the Central Department, and the head of the secret service do not seem to have played a role.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, and the chairman of the committee understands this. In the past, when the warlords were in civil war, the Gui faction and the Northwest Army both posed a great threat to the central government militarily. But some of their generals are greedy for money, some are lustful, and some want to be officials. Therefore, the chairman of the committee specially prepared the ocean, floats, and official hats, as long as he did what he liked, he would be invincible. But now this Zheng beard has made the chairman and Boss Dai helpless.

At this time, Director Kang Zekang, who was far away in southern Hebei, called back and came up with a lot of ideas, which made the chairman and Boss Dai refreshed and applauded. It turned out that Kang Ze had been fighting with the Eighth Road in southern Hebei in the past few months. Although he suffered a lot of losses openly and secretly, his opponent was Deng Gong, and he was not ashamed to lose. And eat a trench, grow a wisdom, and follow the eight roads to learn a few new tricks.

A few days later, "Central Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", "Wen Wei Po", and "Declaration" suddenly published some articles related to Zheng Weiguo or the 41st Group Army. First, he counted the great feats made by the ministry since the Anti-Japanese War, and then turned his pen and asked, where did the famous anti-Japanese general Zheng Weiguo go at this time when Central China was in danger and the country was in danger?

The "Central Daily" was quite polite, but militarily suggested that the armed forces behind enemy lines in North China should take action, and they should not sit idly by and watch the fall of Wuhan, otherwise they would be broken by the Japanese army. Of course, not only Zheng Huzi, but also Balu, Yan Laoxier, Fu Zuoyi, etc., were all shot, and none of them were spared.

"Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po" suspected that Zheng Weiguo was suspected of supporting the army and standing on his own, otherwise why would 30,000 people dare to encircle and annihilate the independent mixed 4th Brigade, and dare to fight with the Tufeiyuan Division, but now with 100,000 troops, they will sit back and watch the success or failure? At the same time, it also knocked other potential forces along the way.

"Declaration" and other newspapers even broke the news, saying that the famous anti-Japanese general Zheng Weiguo is no longer resisting Japan, why what? Because he was talking about marriage with the traitor's sister. When the time comes, Uncle Lang's family can still be expected to fight for the country and the nation? Some tabloids even went so far as to claim that Zheng Weiguo was in peace talks with Japan, and that the anti-Japanese general was about to become a surrendered general.

Of course, the press is not a one-sided "black Zheng," and many newspapers and periodicals are still firmly defending Zheng Weiguo's reputation and reprimanding those newspapers for making trouble for nothing and blackmailing the anti-Japanese heroes. The two sides argued endlessly on this issue, and squeezed the ongoing battle into Wuhan to the second page. Because Zheng Weiguo did not make any major moves during this period except for the Northern Expedition of the 63rd Army to eastern Hebei. As a result, a newspaper that "supported Zheng" boldly speculated that General Zheng was accumulating strength and preparing for a major counteroffensive in North China, and asked the people of the whole country to wait and see if General Zheng was a patriotic anti-Japanese general.
