Chapter 195: The Secret Front Section 4: A Lesson from Blood
At that time, the Central Special Branch was led by Xiang Zhongfa, Zhou Enlai, and Gu Shunzhang, in fact, Zhou Enlai was the positive, and Gu Shunzhang was the deputy. Later, Gu Shunzhang defected, and the special department work was no longer possible. Hong Yangsheng, the head of the first section of the Special Branch, was still alive in Shanghai in the 80s, rebelled in the thirties, and was given a bowl of rice to eat after liberation.
The second subject is Chen Geng. The special department is also divided into four sections, one is the general affairs, responsible for the daily activities of the Party Central Committee, how to rent a house and the like, and the financial expenses are all managed by one section. The second section is intelligence, the third section is operations, killing traitors, and the fourth section is communications, liaison with various cities, radio stations, and the like. In addition, at that time, the work of the special branch was mainly taught by Chen Geng, Gu Shunzhang and others, who had studied "GPU" in the Soviet Union, which was first called Cheka, and later called "GPU" by the General Administration of Political Security, and changed to "National Security Council" in 1953, referred to as "KGB".
The earliest intelligence agency established by the Chinese Communist Party learned from the experience of the Soviet Union's "GPU", and Zhou Enlai set the tasks according to Chinese characteristics, that is, three major tasks and one prohibition. The three major tasks are intelligence, punishment of traitors, and special missions. First, it is not allowed to spy on each other within the party, and this is of great significance. In the following years, the basic health of the life of the party within the party was ensured, and the line of separation from terrorism was also drawn. Mao Zedong later adhered to the principle that reconnaissance methods can only be used against the enemy, not within the party, and this is the most basic human rights guarantee.
It's the same in the United States, the federal government requires all phone calls in the country to be intercepted, isn't this a serious violation of human rights, then what privacy is there? Are you sure that this person is a terrorist, a suspect, and you can listen to him, but how can ordinary people listen to him? Isn't that the whole serious spy politics? The worst part of the USSR is also here. In addition, Zhou Enlai stipulated that it was not possible to obtain information by means of money and beauty as the reactionary class did. Rather, it is necessary to rely on political beliefs to develop intelligence organizations.
As soon as last year's Snowden incident came out. The whole world was in an uproar. This proves how skillfully the US Government has used this secret reconnaissance method!
What is particularly bad about the Kuomintang is that the League will begin, and Sun Yat-sen said that one of the three major tasks of the League is assassination. Going to Beijing to assassinate the regent was still regarded as a feat. Assassination is firmly opposed by Marxism, and to carry out a revolution is to overthrow a class, not to exterminate an individual.
At that time, Liu Yazi, a leftist of the Kuomintang, saw that Chiang Kai-shek was in Guangzhou, and when he was in danger, he found Mao Zedong and Yun Daiying to speak. Spend a lot of money to hire gunmen to kill him, Mao Zedong said that he can't do this, Marxism is against doing this, you kill Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Kai-shek, Lee Kai-shek, assassination is not okay.
The Kuomintang was willing to do one thing, and Chiang Kai-shek engaged in military unification, central unification, and military police, and often engaged in assassinations. He is even more unpopular for assassination, you are the ruler of the country, you dare not openly judge those who oppose you, and send people to kill them secretly. Isn't that even worse? Isn't this state terrorism? This caused a lot of alienation within the Kuomintang.
For what the Kuomintang divided into so many factions, and Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied. One of the most important is spy politics. Later, the Kuomintang spies themselves made a stink, and when they heard about the spies, everyone hated them, and the key was the difference in means. Li Zongren is Chiang Kai-shek's second-in-command, and he scolds the spies every day, because the positions around him are all spies sent by Chiang Kai-shek, and he reports to Chiang Kai-shek every day, and he is of course unpopular with the people around him who are engaged in this kind of thing.
The Cheka in the Soviet Union was also very bad later, Lenin was only external, Stalin later turned it internal, and finally used it to spy on other leaders, which led to the later terror purge. Soviet intelligence agency, the GPU belonged only to the individual leader. The GPU in Leningrad City, the General Directorate of Political Security, and the Leningrad City Committee are not in control, and he also monitors the Leningrad City Party Committee, and he only reports to Stalin personally, and the GPU foreign agencies he sent are not under the control of the local government, but only belong to the individual leaders, not to the secret agencies, just like the "East Factory" and "West Factory" of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Enlai forbade the party to engage in reconnaissance, but Mao Zedong later affirmed that intelligence organizations have never been involved in intra-party struggles, and this article is still adhered to.
Who were the main defenders in the party back then? It's all those who are going to be betrayed with the party's secrets, and you can't do it if you don't destroy these people. Here is talking about He Jiaxing and He Zhihua, He Zhihua is Zhu De's ex-wife, because she later told Zhu De that she felt that she couldn't enjoy the glory and wealth, so she quit.
Following a big man of He Jiaxing, after these two people came back from studying in Germany and the Soviet Union, they were accustomed to living in the West, and at that time, the underground staff paid him 30 yuan a month for living expenses, which was not enough to enjoy all day, and the two of them were responsible for the reception of the Party Central Committee, and they secretly wrote down the address of whoever received them, and before the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, they were going to arrange for delegates to go to the Soviet Union for a meeting, and they wrote down the addresses of hundreds of people at once, and the addresses of the leaders of the Party Central Committee were almost all recorded.
Then I got the patrol house and started selling it, and the patrol house didn't believe it at all, you two people can grasp the addresses of hundreds of leaders? He said okay, first give you the address of Luo Yinong, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, you can try it, and then we will talk. As soon as I caught it, I was immediately shot.
But if he went to sell, there was an inside line in the patrol room, and he immediately reported it, a husband and wife, who spoke very fluent German, were the two of them, and the red team immediately went to beat He Jiaxing to death, He Zhihua was seriously injured, and the list was also searched, which is necessary, otherwise the Party Central Committee will not even survive.
Another is Bai Xin, the secretary of the Military Commission that year, he secretly reported when the Military Commission held a meeting, fortunately Zhou Enlai did not go that day, otherwise Zhou Enlai would have been finished, the famous peasant movement leader Peng Pai and the secretary of the Party and Military Commission were all arrested and then killed. Zhou En said that Bai Xin must be killed, and he betrayed the party too much. The place where Bai Xin was killed was in Hopefang, as soon as he came out, the red team swarmed up, and more than a dozen people in the red team had four pistols, which really killed him on the spot, and all the newspapers in Shanghai were headlines, and the traitor spies were frightened, and later stopped doing public activities, which played a deterrent role.
The main activity of the Party Central Committee at that time was to mobilize the masses, carry out cultural campaigns, propagate revolutionary ideas, and win over the masses, which was the most important activity, as well as literary creation and the like. In addition, Mao Zedong no longer engaged in underground activities, but went to Jinggangshan and engaged in the armed division of workers and peasants. The main struggle at that time was in the countryside. The agrarian revolution was solved and the masses were mobilized. The three core issues of building up the army and establishing base areas, but the party's secret work should logically serve the armed struggle.
At this time, it is not clear how to serve. Liu Shaoqi was in charge of the workers' movement in the white areas, and to establish a trade union. According to the instructions of the Soviet Union, because the Kuomintang regime also established trade unions in factories, which were called "yellow trade unions" at that time, according to the instructions of the Soviet Union, you should establish a "red trade union", Liu Shaoqi said that it was impossible to do it at all, and the establishment of the red trade union was immediately arrested. Only members of the red trade unions can join the yellow trade unions, use their legal status to make friends, win over the masses, and when the conditions are ripe, the yellow trade unions can be transformed into red trade unions. Liu Shaoqi said that the formation of struggle should be decentralized and legal, and the organizational form should be concealed and underground, so as to avoid destruction. The strategy of struggle is to engage in small struggles, not major struggles.
But for a while, Zhou Enlai was not there. Li Lisan organized the work of the Central Committee because Xiang Zhongfa was incompetent. In 1930, the big cities of various provinces and cities used Chiang Feng and Yan to fight in a melee, and when Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang were fighting each other, the cities organized riots, and there was not much armed force at that time, so how could they organize riots?
There were only 50 underground party members in Wuhan at that time, and these people were also allowed to organize riots, and as soon as they bought guns, they were immediately exposed, and people were caught in a net. At that time, there were already quite a few underground party members in the country, 190,000 people, and Li Lisan lost 80,000 in the first three months of taking office, exposing himself and losing a large number of cadres.
At that time, under the leadership of Zhou Enlai, the intelligence protection work was still relatively good, and the development of intelligence relations within the enemy was the most outstanding. The Kuomintang intelligence apparatus was established later than the Communists, and Chiang Kai-shek's investigation department, which only established the Central Party Department in 1928, was later known as the Central Union.
The worst thing about the intelligence agencies established by the Kuomintang was that they relied on the relationship between the villagers, and the leaders of the Kuomintang's intelligence system were all Zhejiangese, because Chiang Kai-shek was a Zhejiangite, and the people he trusted were Zhejiang. The people of Zhejiang themselves are all from Zhejiang, and they are also divided into various factions, and when they go to the Kuomintang military command, the office language is Zhejiang. He pulled all the fellow villagers, and he was looking for a group of his own henchmen, and he didn't have any political trial, he just relied on relationships, knew people, and didn't talk about any political beliefs, so it was easy to get in.
Qian Zhuangfei himself is from Zhejiang, after Li Kenong and Hu Di entered, Qian Zhuangfei was Xu Enzeng's secretary again, Xu Enzeng went in and out of unhealthy places, with a code book in his suit, and hung it outside, after being taken out by Qian Zhuangfei, Li Kenong got the camera outside, there was no photocopier at that time, and it was taken down immediately, and then the core secrets of the Kuomintang could be deciphered, which is of great significance.
In 1931, Gu Shunzhang was arrested in Wuhan and immediately defected, saying that Chiang Kai-shek saw me and guaranteed my life. Gu Shunzhang still has a hand, and he can only say after meeting Chiang Kai-shek, he is a spy who knows the Tao, and after the spy gets his things, it is my credit after killing and destroying the mouth, he must see Chiang Kai-shek himself, and Chiang Kai-shek guarantees the safety of his life. It was precisely because he sent such a telegram that he sent six telegrams in a row, all of which were translated by Qian Zhuangfei, saving the Party Central Committee at a critical juncture.
The story of the three heroes of Longtan will be known by everyone at a glance, so there is no need to talk about this in detail. In the middle of the birth of the agrarian revolution, the Chinese underground party and the Red Army provided support for the armed struggle with personnel, materials and communication equipment. The underground party obtained the Kuomintang cipher and played a major role in the Red Army war. The Long March was never ambushed, because the Kuomintang telegraph code was 100 percent deciphered. Peng Dehuai said that the victory of the Long March was based on two points: the first was the loyalty and courage of the Red Army, and the second was the outstanding reconnaissance work.
In those days, the underground party was completely destroyed, mainly because of the wrong guiding ideology. The goal of the work is not to win over the masses for a long time, to be blind to insurrection, to take the form of "flying rallies" in action, to suddenly drop leaflets wherever you go, shout a slogan and leave. Organize the establishment of a large and out-of-life institution. At that time, the Central Propaganda Department or dozens of people were doing in a small building, what were they doing? Isn't it easy to expose the complete absence of professional cover, in the case of underground, the creation of a huge institution?
In addition, your slogans, blindly following the instructions of the Comintern, are divorced from the reality of your own country and lose the support of the majority of the masses. In 1933, the Provisional Central Committee could not survive in Shanghai and had to move to Jiangxi. After 1934, the entire organizational structure was disrupted throughout the country, and a few party organizations and party members existed. There is nothing left.
In 1935 there was a further Japanese invasion. At this time, the underground party in Beiping lost contact with the central government. Gu Jingsheng and Li Changqing led the instigation of students to launch anti-Japanese demonstrations, and Liu Shaoqi said that at this time, the central government sent him to lead, and after connecting with the relationship, the occurrence of this movement marked a fundamental change in the party's underground work in the white area.
After Liu Shaoqi arrived in North China, he immediately changed his slogan and policy, and shouted that the Soviets and the Red Trade Unions had become Soviet leaders, and the common people could not accept them. It was changed to resist Japan to save the country and national liberation, and the people could accept it. In this way, most of the people in the upper class, plus those in the lower class, support you and stand under the anti-Japanese national united front. In the year since Liu Shaoqi arrived in North China, the number of party members in Beiping has increased nearly tenfold, and the number of party members in North China has also grown to more than 5,000, accounting for more than half of the number of party members in the country's white areas.
At that time, the Central Special Branch was led by Xiang Zhongfa, Zhou Enlai, and Gu Shunzhang, in fact, Zhou Enlai was the positive, and Gu Shunzhang was the deputy. Later, Gu Shunzhang defected, and the special department work was no longer possible. Hong Yangsheng, chief of the first section of the special department. In the 80s he was alive in Shanghai, and in the thirties he rebelled. After liberation, he was given a bowl of rice to eat.
The second subject is Chen Geng. The special department is also divided into four sections, one is the general affairs, responsible for the daily activities of the Party Central Committee, how to rent a house and the like, and the financial expenses are all managed by one section.

The worst part of the USSR is also here. In addition, Zhou Enlai stipulated that it was not possible to rely on money and beauty to lure people to obtain information like the reactionary class, but to rely on political beliefs to develop intelligence organizations.
As soon as last year's Snowden incident came out, the whole world was in an uproar, which proved how skillfully the US Government used this secret reconnaissance method!
What is particularly bad about the Kuomintang is that the League will begin, and Sun Yat-sen said that one of the three major tasks of the League is assassination.

Assassination is firmly opposed by Marxism, and to carry out a revolution is to overthrow a class, not to exterminate an individual.
At that time, Liu Yazi, a leftist of the Kuomintang, saw that Chiang Kai-shek was in Guangzhou, and when he saw it, he was arrogant and dangerous, and he found Mao Zedong and Yun Daiying and spent a lot of money to hire gunmen to kill him, Mao Zedong said that he could not do this, Marxism was opposed to doing this, and if you kill Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Kai-shek and Lee Kai-shek, assassination will not work.
The Kuomintang was willing to do one thing, and Chiang Kai-shek engaged in military unification, central unification, and military police, and often engaged in assassinations.

The GPU of the city of Leningrad, the Main Directorate of Political Protection, the Leningrad city party committee were not in charge, he also monitored the Leningrad city party committee, and he only reported to Stalin personally. The GPU diplomatic mission he sent. The local government can't control it. It only belongs to the individual leader, not to the secret service, and is the same as the "East Factory" and "West Factory" of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Enlai forbade the party to engage in reconnaissance, but Mao Zedong later affirmed that intelligence organizations have never been involved in intra-party struggles, and this article is still adhered to.

Then I got it and started selling it, but I didn't believe it at all. Can you two hold the addresses of hundreds of leaders? He said okay, first give you the address of Luo Yinong, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, you can try it, and then we will talk. As soon as I caught it, I was immediately shot.
But if he went to sell, there was an inside line in the patrol room, and he immediately reported it, a husband and wife, who spoke very fluent German, were the two of them, and the red team immediately went to beat He Jiaxing to death, He Zhihua was seriously injured, and the list was also searched, which is necessary, otherwise the Party Central Committee will not even survive.
