Chapter 4 4-1 Gathering of Storms
4-1
At the beginning of October, the night in Shanghai is a little cooler.
Even if a big man like Tang Kaicheng dies, except for the excitement in the news and newspapers, and a few anecdotes in the streets, after a long time, there will be no more waves, and ordinary people still have to live their lives.
The 8th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even in the oppressive atmosphere of alien rule, the festival must always be celebrated.
Lu Yishan got off work early, knowing that Wu Junyang was coming, so she specially bought a few boxes of Matou brand plum blossom gummies, I don't know if Yu Xiaoshu will be together, although it is unlikely, she still bought two more fresh meat mooncakes from the boss house in the West District.
There was still a street away from home, and she saw Wu Junyang standing at the mouth of the alley with a bag of vegetables, and there was no shadow of Yu Xiaoshu beside her, she breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether she was happy or lost.
"Oh, Mr. Wu, why are you here?" Lu Yishan trotted over quickly.
"It's a holiday, come and see!" Old Wu smiled.
"Come and sit at home." When I got closer, I saw that Lao Wu was still holding a grass carp in his hand, which was very fresh, and the gills of the fish were moving one by one.
"What about Mommy, Ira?"
"It's not as good as the old house, and the neighbors often quarrel and scold each other, and I'm annoyed! I went back to my hometown in Suzhou. ”
Lu Yishan smiled.
The old house of the Lu family in Zhabei was destroyed in the war, and now Lu Yishan lives in the old house of Shikumen rented by the Lawyers Association, which is the temporary dormitory of Han Yeping Company, most of which were vacant before the war, and a large number of refugees poured into the concession area during the war, and the population density increased suddenly.
Liang Xinyi warmly invited Lu Yishan to stay in the Liang Mansion several times, but Lu Yishan politely refused on the grounds of the long distance, and lived in the city, where there were not many local neighbors, and they did not know each other's details, and the concession authorities never checked the population, so they could carry out their work.
chatting with Lao Wu all the way, he walked up to the second floor, and the two rooms around the corner were Lu Yishan's residence. Due to the increase in tenants, in order to facilitate access and access, the landlord also made a new simple staircase on the exterior wall at the other end of the corridor, which can be directly inserted into the Shin Kong Department Store on the back street, which is very suitable for the needs of the secret service.
Lu Yishan's two-entry room has a small kitchen, which is not large, but it is neat and clean.
Wu Junyang came in and found a basin first, put water on it, and carefully put the fish in before returning to the table.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, eat something good and replenish your body."
"Mr. Wu, I bought a few boxes of gummies, and some fresh meat mooncakes, and you can bring back the fish."
Wu Junyang smiled, "You kid, you're too polite!" As for this fish, I won't take it back from left to right, I'll take a little bit of it, you rent a house by yourself now, the burden is heavy, don't prepare it next time. ”
"It's going to be a holiday, it's not worth a few dollars."
Lu Yishan poured tea while greeting.
"Mr. Wu, is there a new task in the organization this time?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Now that the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is grim and the flow of funds is difficult, it seems that the account of Siming Commercial Bank will be settled and transferred in due course. I would like to ask you to handle this matter, and the person who is specifically responsible for the handover is a comrade we have been inspecting for a long time, surnamed Gao, and the Bar Association has business dealings with the bank, so it is more appropriate for you to go. ”
"Okay, I'll do it."
"Also, the situation you provided about Yu Xiaoshu last time was very timely, he and I have already connected with him, Mr. Yan instructed, this is a good time to break into the enemy's interior, and we must make full use of it. However, this line is temporarily contacted by me alone, no matter how close your relationship is, you can't violate work discipline! ”
"Teacher Wu, don't make fun of me, what do I have to do with him."
Lu Yishan blushed.
Lao Wu smiled knowingly, and said, "He is now deep in the enemy's interior, he is a surprise soldier, a spike, we must be more cautious, we must ensure his safety, avoid exposure, and expect him to play a greater role!" Your work is also important, and it is for your own safety that you are not tied to the same line for the time being. ”
"I understand, if there are any instructions from the organization, you can just say it."
"Okay, let me convey the spirit. At present, the Japanese army is constantly expanding its battlefield in Central China, and although the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are persistently fighting behind enemy lines, the Nationalist Government is under relatively great military pressure on the frontal battlefield. This stage is very sensitive, and we must pay special attention to the leading figures in the government and democratic figures, launch a public opinion offensive against vacillating tendencies in a timely manner, smash separatist plots from within, win international support, and wage a resolute struggle against all compromising moves that undermine the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression! ”
"Now the forces of all parties in Shanghai are complicated, although the military commander successfully assassinated Tang Kaicheng, but we must especially know that terror and assassination cannot affect the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and can only inspire people and create chaos at one time and one place, we must be patient, do the work meticulously, and play a greater role, especially you."
"Me?"
"Yes, you have a good relationship with Liang Chengjie's daughter, this Liang Chengjie is the leading figure in Shanghai's financial circles, the Japanese have been eyeing him for a long time, and at present, he seems to have a tendency to waver."
Not long ago, Kenji Dohihara, the intelligence leader of the Japanese army, also came to Shanghai, and before Tang Kaicheng was assassinated, Tohihara also visited in person. However, he probably did not expect Tang Kaicheng to be easily assassinated, which can be said to be a big failure of the Japanese intelligence system. After Tang Kaicheng's death, the only people eligible for the support of the Japanese side in Shanghai were Liang Chengjie and Li Bingshu, vice president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and it was very likely that the Japanese army would choose one of these two people to become the new mayor of Shanghai. ”
"Now supervising the director of the Shanghai Municipal Office? Not Xu Xiangnan? ”
"That's right, but Xu Xiangnan has always been pro-Japanese, his influence is too weak, he is just a transitional figure, and sooner or later he will have to be replaced. However, the influence of Li and Liang is also quite different from that of Tang Kaicheng, so the Japanese side does not want to use them to form a national government, and is now in full swing trying to rebel against a person with high prestige and seniority from Chongqing to act as their agent. If we can get information on the target of the Japanese side as soon as possible, it will be very beneficial for the next step of the work. ”
"I know, in terms of specific implementation, does Mr. Yan have any instructions?"
"There are some judgments for your reference. Liang Chengjie's only son, Liang Liqun, had secretly fallen into the water in Hong Kong and became an intelligence officer of the Gu Heng Mansion of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You have a good relationship with the Liang family, so you can make good use of this, corroborate with the information that Yu Xiaoshu got from the military police headquarters, and find out the target of the Japanese side, the puppet regime, and the preparations of the Shanghai pseudo-intelligence agency, which is the first task you need to complete. At the same time, in the Gu Heng Mansion, there are also our comrades, oh, that's what I just said, Gao Zhucun, who is in charge of the account of Siming Commercial Bank, has always been the one who borrowed the name of the Japanese side to cover our capital exchanges. Connecting with him and using the identity of the lawyers' association to build the secret funding channels of the underground party in Shanghai is the second task you need to deal with. ”
Lu Yishan nodded.
"Neither of these things is easy, but the organization believes that you have the ability! If possible, it would be better to rebel against a core member of the enemy and puppet organization to lay the foundation for future work. ”
"Liang Liqun?"
Wu Junyang shook his head, "It doesn't have to be a specific person, it's good that you think about it in your own heart, no matter how the work is carried out, your own safety always comes first." ”
"Okay, got it."
Lao Wu left, and the fresh fish was still swimming around in the basin.
Lu Yishan looked at the fresh wound on his hand and sighed.
Lao Wu Bacheng didn't know that since he was a child, what he was most afraid of was killing fish.
