When the delegation left Beiping, in the basement of a building on Hong Kong Island, Liu Huashan deciphered a newly received cipher telegram and handed it to Hou Jun, who was waiting on the side.

Hou Jun quickly looked at it, took out a wick lighter, burned the note, and then said to his subordinates: "I just received a call from Shangfeng, the target has set off from Beiping, and I announce that the 'Cloud Hunting Operation' has officially begun." Border City, Fan Yunyong! ”

"Here!" Two young men about the same age, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, stood up.

"You immediately go to Guangzhou to pick up the 'wild wolf', he and the target are on the same train, train number 103. He will be waiting for you at Exit 3, and you will remember to hold up a sign that says 'Receive Viagra'. After the round with the 'wild wolf', follow the target into the port, figure out the target's address, and then the border city and the 'wild wolf' continue to monitor, and Fan Yunyong comes back to report. ”

"Yes."

"Zhang Xiaosan."

"Here!"

"Now the situation has changed, Song Zheyuan has increased the number of guards by a platoon for the goal, it is a little difficult to complete this task with our current manpower alone, don't you know many gang people, ask them to borrow some manpower."

"It's good."

…… Hou Jun is a new correspondent sent to Hong Kong by Lixing Society. The original job of the Force's secret service team in Hong Kong was to gather intelligence and occasionally carry out shady missions. I don't know if it's a coincidence or because of other reasons, Lixing Club has recently launched the so-called "Cloud Hunting Operation", which is strikingly similar to the name of the Japanese spies' "Cloud Hunting Plan", it seems that they will need to deal with the same person - Ouyang Yun.

"I'll repeat the purpose of this operation at the very end, prioritizing capture alive, but if it's difficult, then—" Hou Jun said, waving his right hand and wiping his neck.

If there was no Ouyang Yun's appearance, history might have developed step by step according to the textbooks described in later generations, and Song Zheyuan would inevitably end up dying of illness in his hometown.

It must be admitted that the efficiency of the secret intelligence organization set up by the Nationalist Government, headed by the Fuxing Society, was still very high, and the "plan for a high degree of autonomy in North China" put together by Tohihara, Tada, and others was only released, and they were able to obtain the specific contents of the plan. Gu Lianyun chose this heavyweight intelligence to reveal it to Ouyang Yun at such an opportunity, it was not for nothing, she was smart and she didn't use the topic to say something, but the underlying meaning was actually very clear, it was nothing more than hoping that Ouyang Yun would throw herself into the arms of the central government. It's a pity that Ouyang Yun became simple-minded after experiencing some kind of strenuous exercise, and he didn't think about it in that way, if it wasn't for the theft of the handheld computer, it is estimated that even if he was sold by a woman, he would still think that she and himself were in the same boat.

As the head of the former Kwantung Army's Shenyang secret service, Tu Feiyuan has long been notorious in North China through the "puppet Manchuria" incident, and was once used by Chinese mothers to scare their crying children.

As soon as the delegation arrived in Xuzhou by train, and almost agreed on the time, Tu Feiyuan personally drove a car from Tianjin to Beiping to see Song Zheyuan. Saying that the request to see is actually false, the bandits have come before, and there has been friction with the guards stationed in the military headquarters of the 29th Army, so Song Zheyuan said: The military headquarters of the 29th Army has no defense against His Excellency Tufeiyuan. Coincidentally, today's guards on duty happened to be the ones from last time, so although he hated this little devil in his heart, he had no choice but to see it as if he didn't see it, and let no one enter in his eyes.

Song Zheyuan in that time and space, when Tu Feiyuan came to threaten him, it happened that Lao Jiang invited him to Lushan to meet, and he went to Shandong to repair the ancestral tomb under the psychological excuse that no one should be offended.

Song Zheyuan in this time and space seems to have changed people, the threat of Tufeiyuan has already been served, and Lao Jiang's invitation has also come, but he did not retreat again, but took the initiative to stand up.

Tu Feiyuan came to the door again with the so-called "North China High Autonomy Plan" to "threaten", and met Song Zheyuan, who was much tougher than the last time. One thing is very interesting, when he found Song Zheyuan, the latter was studying the problem of arranging troops in Tanggu with Zhang Zizhong and Qin Dechun around a sand table.

The sand table was copied from the Staff Department of the Cadet Brigade, Ouyang Yun's idea, the works of the fox pupil and the wolf tooth members, it was very rough, but the proportions were well controlled, and the important areas in North China were taken care of, among which the most refined places were Tanggu, Lugou Bridge and Renqiu.

As soon as Tu Feiyuan pushed the door open, he heard Zhang Zizhong say, "...... Floating batteries, thus forming the first line of defense-" Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and saw Tu Feiyuan, first stunned, then furious, and shouted: "Where are the guards? How did they stand guard?! ”

Song Zheyuan and Qin Dechun were also very surprised to see Tu Feiyuan, the former quickly adjusted, first stopped Zhang Zizhong with his eyes, and then greeted him and said, "How come Mr. Tu Feiyuan is free to come, let's go to my office to talk." As he spoke, he used his body to block some of the arrangements on the sand table.

Seeing the sand table, the corners of Tu Feiyuan's eyes twitched involuntarily. He always thought that the generals of the 29th Army were all dirt buns and did not have professional knowledge of using troops, and now it seems that this judgment needs to be corrected. What are they doing studying the sand table at this time, are they ready to fight the imperial army? That was the second thought that popped into his mind.

Song Zheyuan didn't give him a chance to continue to associate with him, and almost half-dragged him into his office. It is one thing to prepare for war, but it is not appropriate to fall out with the Japanese at the moment. After all, the 29th Army had only just entered Hebei, and it had not yet been able to fully control and digest it. The guns of the 29th Army are still very backward, and most of the infantry are still equipped with Hanyang-made, and even have old sleeves. There are only about three light machine guns in a platoon, and there are only a few heavy machine guns, and as for mortars, mountain artillery, and field artillery, there are no more than 50 of them together.

Tu Feiyuan sat down on the chair under Song Zheyuan's polite invitation, and after the adjutant who delivered the tea withdrew from the house, he looked at Song Zheyuan and asked with a smile: "Commander Song, you were studying the arrangement of troops with your subordinates just now, right?" How? Want to take on our imperial army? ”

"No, just take a look, Mr. Tsuchihara, don't you mean that your country wants to march into Yicha, do you?"

Tu Feiyuan's eyes narrowed, he felt that his understanding of Song Zheyuan was really wrong, such words were not something that a person who only wanted to be a warlord and an emperor of the soil could say, he said in a threatening tone: "It depends on the meaning of your army, our Kwantung Army Commander General Nanji still wants to cooperate with you." As you know, the reason why the imperial army wants to enter the three eastern provinces and assist in the establishment of Manchukuo is the good wish of the Asian family in the world, hoping that the Chinese people can share the benefits of the industrialization of the Great Japanese Empire, hoping to provide a little help for the development of your country and break away from the rule of Lao Chiang. ”

Song Zheyuan secretly scolded Tu Feiyuan in his heart for opening his eyes and talking nonsense, his face was impassive, and he said: "The 29th Army is not a descendant of the Central Army, and it has always been treated unfairly by the central government in terms of military salaries and equipment, Mr. Tu Feiyuan should be clear about this, right?" However, cooperating with your army is not a trivial matter, we must consider it carefully, the 29th Army has only entered Hebei, and it has not yet been able to fully control the place, your proposal last time was good, we are studying ......"

"Research again, you support - do the Chinese like research so much? Commander Song, please take a look at this! Tu Feiyuan said and took out the "North China High Autonomy Plan" written in the form of an ultimatum.

Song Zheyuan took it suspiciously, looked at it, his face gradually changed, and said, "Ten days? It's too rushed! ”

The time limit given in the ultimatum was ten days, and it was stated in the name of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Minami Jiro, that if Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army did not act according to the agreement, the Kwantung Army would send troops to North China with the strength of five divisions.

"This is not a matter of Yicha and the two places, but also Shandong, Shanxi and Suiyuan!"

Tu Feiyuan snorted and said, "The rest of the places will be handed over to us to handle well, what Commander Song needs to do, just correct his attitude." After speaking, he stared at Song Zheyuan, thinking in his heart: Song Zheyuan, the old fox, should be most reluctant to establish an agreement on the establishment of a special economic zone controlled by my country in Renqiu, right? Hmph, the reason why he has become unprecedentedly tough now is probably counting on Ouyang Yun to come back safely from the United States and set up penicillin and the oil factory, but unfortunately, he is destined to not wait for this day. Ten days, where does it take ten days, as long as five days, once the news that Ouyang Yun was bribed or killed by us spreads, this old guy will definitely compromise!

Song Zheyuan's thoughts were racing, thinking to himself that it seems that the Japanese are serious this time, if Nanjiro really invades North China with five Kwantung Army divisions, he will definitely not be an opponent with tens of thousands of horses in his headquarters alone, and will he unite Han Fuqu in Shandong and Yan Xishan in Shanxi? If the three parties advance and retreat together, it will not be a problem to resist for a while. But the crux of the matter is that he has a general friendship with these two people, and these two people have always been used to swaying, listening to Tu Feiyuan's tone, as if there is some tacit understanding between them.

Tu Feiyuan saw that he was silent and did not speak, and said step by step: "Commander Song, let me tell you the truth, this is not our only choice, the 'North China' in our plan includes Shandong, Shanxi, Suiyuan, Yicha, and Pingjin, if you find it difficult, we don't mind letting Yan Xishan protect Han Fuqu to be the leader!" The reason why we chose you is to admire the bravery of the officers and men of the 29th Army and not want them to become cannon fodder for the national government. Commander Song, if you still have illusions about the central government of your country, then I advise you to face up to the reality, maybe you still don't know the way, Mr. Tang Youren, that is, your ambassador to our country has just put forward three principles: to declare that your two countries respect each other's complete independence in international law; The two countries should maintain true friendship; In the future, all incidents between the two countries will be resolved by peaceful (diplomatic) means - Commander Song, it is not difficult to see from this that you have in fact been abandoned by Lao Chiang! ”

Song Zheyuan was silent - what Tu Feiyuan said was the truth, but could he agree to such a request? If he really sits on the throne of this so-called "leader", the next thing can be imagined, and he Song Zheyuan will definitely change from an anti-Japanese general to a traitor in the eyes of the people of the whole country - "Let me think about it, isn't there still ten days?!" He gave this reply at the end of the day.

Tu Feiyuan observed the words and looks, and knew that Lu Dao had achieved the purpose of this trip, so he left satisfied.
