"How's it going, is your general secretary fat?" Lin Xiuxuan asked.

"Where did you get it?"

Chen Ping put down his reserve and asked eagerly.

"The other day. My people, during an enemy reconnaissance, accidentally photographed, at that time less than 15 meters away from them, my people hid under a tree, you see there are faint branches here. ”

Chen Ping kept nodding, but the doubts on his face did not disappear.

"These people in the photo, I think your general secretary Wright, I don't need to introduce them," Lin Xiuxuan continued while peeking at the observation, "This one in civilian clothes is the head of the Southern Agency: Keiji Suzuki; This lieutenant is Suzuki's subordinate, and this one with the sole of his shoe...... We also know who he is. ”、

"I know this man." Chen Ping said leisurely.

"Oh?"

"This man's name is Haji Matiat, the son of the local elder, who had been trained by the Japanese army on Hainan Island a few years ago. It is the most warlike and cruel native-armed force in Perak, called the Pious Brigade. Wright had asked us to avoid fighting with them, but this force had been attacking us, and in the second half of last year, Mattiat's troops, who had followed the Japanese to Burma, seemed to have been sent back because of a clash with the Burmese puppet army. ”

"Oh, I see." Unexpectedly, Chen Ping was able to make up for some of the missing information

"This man is extremely vicious, and the fighters with whom we have clashed and captured have never been able to exchange them through the mediation of the intermediary, that is, the local moderates. His troops, who were so cruel and unusually cruel that they did not allow them to surrender without taking prisoners, even killed the Japanese sometimes. However, it doesn't matter, what matters is, how did the general secretary fall into the hands of this gang? This is impossible, I also received a telegram from him yesterday, if he had been captured a few days ago, Mattiat would have been executed. ”

"That's how you judge?"

"It's not good, it must be that the general secretary's password has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and the location of this meeting may be exposed. I have to ......"

Chen Ping said and ran to the radio, probably wanting to send a message to warn the others.

"If I told you that it was not your general secretary who was arrested, but who defected to the enemy, would you believe it or not?"

"The general secretary defected to the enemy?" Chen Ping looked at Lin Xiuxuan in confusion, obviously before today, he had never thought of this possibility.

"My men have heard their conversation, and Wright has come from the south to the northern border on the instructions of the Southern Agency, with the aim of taking command of your troops. Think about it, how can it be so fast to get from Johor to here, a large area of Japanese occupation? Did he come by plane or train? ”

"But it doesn't make sense, why take my command? He was the one who appointed me to command the Northern Region in the first place, and I thought it would be difficult for me to do this job, but he did the ideological work himself. ”

"At this time and that time, I asked you to come because you are young and have no qualifications, and you can't create a situation when you come, think about it, are you the most suitable person? Have you integrated the troops here this year? All of this was in his calculations. ”

Although the words are hurtful, the truth can be self-consistent. Lin Xiuxuan held the evidence in his hand, and he made the way to the road, and gradually introduced Chen Ping to the right line of thought.

"So what's tomorrow's meeting? Could it be a trap? ”

"Tomorrow's meeting is a trap, and he will definitely use all despicable means to oust you from power."

"You're in a hurry, you just want to help me?"

"If I help you, I can help myself, as I said, the Japanese hiding north of the battle line is very important, now that the mud cow is in the sea, I am short of manpower, it is difficult for him to dig it out, the only thing he can count on is you. If you were killed by Wright, the guerrillas would be leaderless, and the Japanese would easily slip away. ”

"That's right, it will definitely be so," Chen Ping sneered dismally, "However, you still overestimate me, even if I continue to be this commander-in-chief, there is no leader here, and the men and horses I can command may only be one-third, or less." In the past year, I have achieved nothing, and I have not brought everyone together at all. Wright's vision is right, I'm just a piece of shit. ”

Chen Ping squatted on the ground depressedly, the reality is indeed cruel, Wright actually used his incompetence to achieve sinister purposes, there is nothing more frustrating than insight into this layer.

"No, it's not your fault that the situation hasn't opened up, it's because Wright is behind his back, he's been mixing sand. Think of his rules that tie your hands and feet. ”

"Even so, it is difficult for me to mobilize all my strength, and I am indeed powerless."

"No, tomorrow is the best chance."

"Tomorrow?" Chen Ping looked at Lin Xiuxuan in surprise, "You mean, I knew that it was a Hongmen banquet, and I still wanted to throw myself into the net?" ”

"You have to go. Think about it, how have you ever gathered all the grassroots commanders in the past year? ”

Chen Ping pondered for a moment and nodded: "You're right, in the past year, I have never gathered so many people at one time, and every time I convene a party meeting, half of them always shirk something and don't come." This time, it was because the general secretary came in person that they were gathered. ”

"So, this is a good opportunity for you to clean up people's hearts, as long as you are at the meeting, speak with evidence, and expose Wright's treason. I'm sure the rest will be on your side. ”

"Do you think I can do it?"

"You can do it."

"But Wright, it's likely that some people have been wooed in advance, if I'm not mistaken, it may be Luo Yang, and I only brought ten people, I'm worried about ......"

"My troops will protect you. I have two reinforced companies. Whether it is Luo Yang's hundreds of people or the lurking troops of the Southern Agency, it is not a problem. ”

"If you stand by my side, you will make others think that I have betrayed the party and taken refuge in you."

"What are these words? Can't we stand together as the same nation? Can't we fight the Japanese together? ”

"This ......"

Chen Ping was speechless for a while, and he did a piece of stake to think about it.

Over the years, Wright has instilled too many sinister "political correctness" under the guise of the Comintern, such as any propaganda that emphasizes the identity of Chinese Americans will be labeled as national chauvinism. Within the CPM, there were originally only 1 percent of ethnic minorities, and to some extent, the source of cohesion of the army was national identity, but under Wright's sabotage, the MCP abandoned the most powerful source of power and turned to pursue false and unrealistic internationalism. Wright, to put it mildly, has confused the hearts and minds of tens of thousands of guerrillas, so that the guerrillas have never been twisted into a rope.

Now is indeed the time to liquidate Wright, the viper.

"Good! Let's go and uncover his conspiracy together. He slapped his thigh and agreed.

"Well, tomorrow you go to the meeting as usual, my people are monitoring the movements of Luo Yang's troops, and they will protect the venue at the appropriate time."

"With this photo of yours, I will definitely be able to reveal his true colors." Chen Ping said indignantly.

After all, he was still young, and he thought that he could be a general based on that photo, without fully considering the tricks that an old and spicy opponent like Wright might use. Lin Xiuxuan didn't dare to take it so lightly, but for the time being, he couldn't guess what Wright would do tomorrow.

The two parted, and Lin Xiuxuan returned to his team.

The next day, Chen Ping took care of himself and headed for the meeting place. Lin Xiuxuan led the troops and quietly followed up, Ma Qiang followed Luo Yang's team on the other side, and found that this force did not show any signs of going straight to the venue, it may be used as a last resort, Wright is also afraid of losing his dignity, maybe he thinks that to deal with Chen Ping, he can use his mouth, and the gun is just a last resort.

Chen Ping led the people to the venue, which was an abandoned church school, and his people were left outside on the playground, and some people had gathered around. He walked alone into the prayer hall and shook hands with people he knew. Some were enthusiastic, others were aloof, and a few of them were seeing the commander of the Northern District for the first time today. His youth is indeed a huge obstacle to his work.

There were rows of tables and chairs in the venue, and the early arrivals had already sat down. After Chen Ping sat down, he inquired about the people on the side, and learned that Wright had arrived and was in a classroom in the back, having a small meeting with a few people. He was a little apprehensive, and he didn't know what conspiracy he was planning.

Chen Ping could see that from time to time, there were people who were summoned by Wright, and when they came in from behind, their expressions were a little strange, they looked vigilant and serious, and they peeked at themselves from time to time. Apparently there is a conspiracy against himself.

After waiting for more than three hours, the rest of the people arrived one after another. Wright, who was pretending, came out from behind.

The partisan commanders of the CPM had long been dissatisfied with Chen Ping's conservative line of not allowing friction with the Turks and his military inaction, and they hoped that the general secretary's visit would put things in order and bring about new personnel appointments. As everyone knows, the strange policy of not allowing the destruction of ethnic relations is exactly what Wright meant.

Wright shook hands with the attendees and occasionally exchanged a few words, and he had a good memory, not only remembering everyone's name, but also the last time they met, sometimes going back more than a decade.

Finally arrived at Chen Ping, and he shook hands with Chen Ping vigorously.

"Comrade Chen Ping, I haven't seen you for a year and three months, you have lost weight and become dark. How's that going on, it's a harsh environment here, isn't it? Hehehe, it's not harsh, and the party won't send you here. ”

Chen Ping shook hands with a smile. He already knew the hypocrisy and sinister nature of the man in front of him, but his performance was still confusing, he had always appeared as a loyal elder, Marxist-Leninist theory was impeccable, and he lived an ascetic life that was not close to women, and this mask of a two-faced man was really deceptive.

After shaking hands with everyone, Wright walked to the front and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop applauding.

"It's not easy for me to come this time, comrades, I have passed through the enemy's layers of defense, and I have hung a little color...... Still, it was worth it to meet my dear comrades. ”

Lin Xiuxuan was a kilometer away, remotely controlling a small helicopter. With the help of jungle flights, he quickly found the venue, swept over the heads of a bunch of guards who were smoking outside, and quietly stopped by the broken windowsill. The small helicopter began to monitor the work. Lin Xiuxuan returned to the army, he couldn't leave for too long, after all, as a major, he had been reconnoitring alone for too long, and it was really unorthodox.
