Chapter 16 The Upper Route

At Dai Li's official residence in Chongqing, the red phone suddenly rang, and Dai Li hurriedly grabbed the phone: "Chairman, I'm Yunong."

Chiang Kai-shek asked: Yu Nong, the current situation is very unfavorable for us, I wonder if you have found something?

Dai Li replied: Please make it clear to the chairman!

Chiang Kai-shek went on to say unhurriedly: The all-people war of resistance, the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the legitimacy of the Communist Party, they now stand up to condemn the government's spy methods against the people, and condemn the Kuomintang for using spy methods against friendly parties. Some political parties and democrats actually responded with one voice. Now the whole country is criticizing us for being a "national party"; However, in our party, there are also many complaints, and some people actually criticize Chiang Kai-shek for "governing the party with spies."

Dai Li sighed: "The Communist Party's attack on the military commander's spies is like this. Every day, every month, every month, after years of poverty, and never tired of propagating it, ordinary people will be psychologically infected by it. At first, the Communists were scolding us alone, and no one else accosted us, and then the people of society hated us, and even the comrades in our camp did not believe us, and we were isolated, and my subordinates felt the same way, and they felt that what they were doing was a 'dishonorable' job. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said angrily: Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have intelligence and security organs, and both have underground intelligence organs, so why don't they scold the Communist Party as "spies," but in turn they scold us Kuomintang "spies," and the notorious "spies" are only on our side?

Dai Li thought for a while and said: That's because we don't have enough propaganda, the Communist Party is good at deceiving and misleading public opinion, but we are not good at it, and our Kuomintang spies are scolded by the Communist Party.

Chiang Kai-shek said unhappily: Our Kuomintang has much more propaganda means, talents, and resources than the Communist Party, so why don't you turn around and scold the Communist Party's spies?

Dai Li couldn't answer for a while, looking very embarrassed

Chiang Kai-shek went on to say: Let me tell you that the Communist Party's spy work does not advocate the use of indiscriminate means, but skillfully combines secret intelligence work with open united front work to make friends! In this respect, the Communist Party is much more clever than we are, and you should learn from their strong points, increase the united front offensive within the party, and turn passive and active.

Dai Li hurriedly said, "Yes! ”

Chiang Kai-shek continued: Do you remember what I said when your military command was formed?

"Uphold the will of the leader, and remember the painstaking work of the leader!" Dai Lian said cautiously.

"Just remember, we are at a clear disadvantage on the frontal battlefield now, and intelligence work is very important, so you must join hands with the Communist Party and actively cooperate with the war against Japan. You have to take the initiative and make some achievements for these people to see, and don't let me wear a hat of "passive resistance" all the time, this "hat" is too heavy and makes me breathless.

"Yes!" Dai Li hurriedly said.

Chiang Kai-shek paused for a moment and continued: "But we must also remember that while cooperating, we must limit each other, we must not forget the principle as soon as we talk about cooperation, and remember that the Communist Party will always be our henchman, and it is not the time to remove this hidden danger, but sooner or later it must be eliminated." ”

"Yes!" Dai Li wanted to put the phone down.

Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I still have something to tell you, the intelligence work on the southeast coast must be stepped up, after the Japanese army invades and occupies Xiamen, it will soon attack Hong Kong, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and other neighboring countries, I need to know the strategic deployment and movements of the Japanese, especially the intelligence on Xiamen Island."

Dai Li was ashamed: "The subordinates are not doing their work well, please punish the chairman!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek comforted again: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, it's not that your work is ineffective, it's that the intelligence agencies and intelligence stations of the Japanese army are too powerful." But the Japanese are not invulnerable, as long as you do 120% of your efforts, there is always a way, I hope you can make achievements as soon as possible! ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Dai Li looked at the microphone, put down the phone, and paced in the luxurious office, thinking about what Chiang Kai-shek had just said.

At this time, a secretary walked in quickly, saluted Dai Li, and reported: "Bureau seat, Zhang Zhongmin, the stationmaster of Minnan Station, is in an emergency." ”

Dai Li took the telegram and looked at it, threw it on the table, and said angrily: "Ke Yiming's case, Ke Yiming's case, there is still no end." At present, the invasion of a strong enemy, and resisting the Japanese army is the first priority of our party-state. You telegraphed Zhang Zhongmin, asking him to make a living from the overall situation, focus on his work, and immediately send people to infiltrate Xiamen Island in order to achieve the theft of Japanese intelligence and the sanction of Japanese puppet personnel. ”

"Yes!" The secretary turned and left.

On the devastated streets of Xiamen Island, a group of people walked in the distance, in front of them were more than a dozen puppet policemen shouting at guns to open the way, and Li Zaixin in the back was chatting and laughing freely and leisurely under the support of a group of traitors.

Hong Licheng, president of the puppet chamber of commerce, lost no time in flattering and said: Although Mayor Li has just taken office, he has governed the entire Xiamen in an orderly manner, and he is many times stronger than the chairman of the maintenance committee.

Li Zaixin said with a smile: "Brother Hong, you have a good reputation, these achievements of mine are not the result of your full support, not you, I, Li Zaixin, am the Monkey King with three heads and six arms, and I can't do such a thing!" ”

Hong Licheng continued to pat the horse and said: "You are too humble, we don't dare to be greedy, these are all your Mayor Li's leadership!" ”

Li Zaixin couldn't help but feel proud when he heard it.

"Mayor Li has high morality and is the mayor of Xiamen, which is expected by everyone. Following Mayor Li, the contemptible man will be the horse before and after the saddle, and the horse will be the first to look forward. ”

The traitor Huang Peiren on the side also hurriedly curryed favor with Li Zaixin, for fear of falling behind.

Li Zaixin hugged his fists and said: Thank you, everyone.

Hong Licheng then touted that he had heard that the Japanese Empire was going to set up the "Xiamen Liaison Branch of the Xingya Academy" in Xiamen soon, and that the head of the office would personally take charge of the general affairs of the army and navy. Hong is not talented, and he will rely on his brother in the future!

Li Zaixin smiled and said: Brother Hong is too modest, now you and I are both subjects of the emperor, and we are jointly committed to the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere", and I believe that the Japanese imperial army will not treat us badly.

"Yes!" Hong Licheng immediately bowed down.

Li Zaixin said to the left and right around him with his hands behind his back: The Japanese are kind to me, and the principle of my life and work is to devote myself to "Sino-Japanese friendship and eternal friendship." My governance in Xiamen Island is to take Japan's rule of Taiwan as an example to learn from, and change Zhongshan Park to Xiamen Park, and Zhongshan Road to Dahan Road.

Huang Peiren asked puzzledly: What does the mayor think, I don't know the reason, I want to hear the high opinion?

Li Zaixin gestured with his hand and said in a lofty manner: Changing Zhongshan Park to Xiamen Park means that the Japanese want to have fun with the people of Xiamen. The Zhongshan Road was changed to Dahan Road, which is to make it known that the Han nationality is a peace-loving nation for thousands of years, and today's army has obtained Xiamen with iron and blood to return our Han nationality, and to drive out the warlords for me.

Hong Licheng blurted out: Change the national system, change the national language, what a good idea!

Li Zaixin continued: "If the situation continues to develop like this, the central government in Chongqing will soon be finished, and the Communist Party's resistance to Japan will be even more vulnerable to a stone, and sooner or later the whole of China will be Japanese." If you don't change, they will change it when the time comes, and it's better to change it later than early to win the initiative. Speaking of this, Li Zaixin paused, and said with emotion: The Imperial Japanese Army treats us well, and we have to show sincerity to do things for them, only in this way can we always be invincible!

The traitors frequently bowed their heads.

The group turned and walked into another street. This is an old commercial street, and there are commercial signboards with the characters "Ying" and "Mei" on both sides of the street.

Li Zaixin stopped and looked at it, and suddenly pointed to the signboards of the shops in front of him and said: "Britain and the United States are the common enemies of China and Japan, and in the future, all stores with the words "Britain" and "American" will not be allowed to use them again. ”

Hong Licheng, president of the puppet Chamber of Commerce, answered: Mayor Li, look at the words on these signboards, why should you change them?

Li Zaixin thought for a while and said: The "Huaying Pharmacy" in front was changed to "Hua'an Pharmacy", the "Tongying Cloth Store" on the left was changed to "Tongxing Cloth Store", and the "Meixing Cafe" on the right was changed to "Meixing Cafe".

The traitor Huang Peiren said worriedly: "Those are all time-honored brands, and the store may not be willing to change them!" ”

Li Zaixin widened his eyes and said, "If you don't want to change, let him close the door and get out!" ”

"Okay, Mayor Li, I'll arrange for the Chamber of Commerce to do it immediately!" Hong Licheng bowed and said.
