Chapter 582: Turning the Tide
At two o'clock in the afternoon of 16 August, British Ambassador Xu Gesen's motorcade was bombed by a heavy bomb dropped by the Japanese near Wuxi, and Xu Gesen was seriously injured on the spot.
On the evening of the 15th, Chiang Kai-shek quietly came to Shanghai by car, and when Xu Gesen was bombed, he was at the Songhu Garrison Headquarters to listen to the reports of Chen Xi, Zhang Wenbai, and others.
When Han Lin's subordinates called from Wuxi for the first time, Jiang Weizuo was also a little afraid when he heard the news, if he hadn't changed his mind after getting Han Lin's report, it would have been unpredictable at this time, so Han Lin had once again improved his status in his heart.
"The consequences of this incident are chilling to think about, this time thanks to my brother's intelligence, it is still as accurate as ever, which is equivalent to turning the tide and saving the leader in danger, which is an absolute great credit! If it weren't for your information, I would have sat in Ambassador Xu Gesen's car, and I feel cold in my heart when I think about it! Chief of the guard Qian Dajun said.
Han Lin will definitely be firmly remembered by the commission because of the great credit of this escort, in a short period of time, Han Lin may not have obvious changes, he is already a lieutenant colonel of the military police at a young age, and he still wears many hats, according to the character of the commission, it is impossible to express it immediately.
But with the passage of time, Han Lin's future in the Jinling government is limitless, as long as there is the trust of the commission, the opportunity will never be absent.
"The chief of the guard is wrongly praised, and the lowly duty is only the fulfillment of his duty, and as the chief of police of the gendarmerie headquarters and the head of the guard of the official residence of the commission, the lowly duty is responsible for protecting the safety of the commission. The proud and stubborn British, the Japanese, with their bloody facts, taught them a lesson that the so-called British Empire, the face was not as big as they thought. Han Lin said with a smile.
"We told Xu Gesen last night not to come to Shanghai today, but he just didn't listen, thinking that the Japanese would not dare to bomb the cars of the British Empire, as long as they hung the British flag, there would be no problem, and as a result, he almost died! It can be seen that the Japanese who have become crazy do not even give face to the British. Qian Dajun said mockingly.
After receiving Han Lin's information, in view of the accuracy of his long-term information, Jiang immediately decided to set off that night and rushed to Shanghai at night, and specially ordered someone to call Xu Gesen, asking him to visit the British expatriates in Shanghai a day later, but Xu Gesen did not listen at all.
"The Japanese are fearless, and the British government's current attention is focused on Europe, with the main targets being France and Germany, and they want to use the rise of Germany to contain France's growing influence in Europe, but they are not at ease with Hitler's government, and they have little energy to care about the Eastern theater." Han Lin said with a smile.
"The top-secret news that the commission came to Shanghai to inspect was actually betrayed to the Japanese by a traitor, you must dig him out as soon as possible, this person is our henchman. It was only the day before yesterday that the committee made a decision, and those who knew about this matter were all military and political officials in Jinling, and I believe they would not leak secrets. ”
"Huang Jun's traitor gang was arrested by you the night before yesterday, and he didn't know about it, the more I think about it, the more terrible I feel, is there any high-level important member who has also been bought by the Japanese to become an internal ghost?" Qian Dajun said with a frown.
Although this leak did not bring danger to Chiang's commission, it was definitely a great event, and he had been a little suspicious since yesterday, and he had carefully thought about every military and political member who had attended the high-level meeting and knew about Chiang's itinerary, and he did not analyze who would be the leaker.
"Chief of Guard, I feel that your thinking has entered a misunderstanding, the leaker is not necessarily the participant himself, there will be no second Huang Jun in the central body, my judgment is that the participant inadvertently leaked the news, and he may not know it yet."
"Before I came, I had already arranged for the police department of the gendarmerie headquarters to carry out the investigation, and the next key reconnaissance targets were the secretaries of these participants, the service personnel or the maids and servants at home, mainly secretaries." Han Lin said.
"Yes, yes, what you said is very reasonable, I have some rumors now, and when Huang Jun is out of this matter, I think everyone feels like an inner ghost. By the way, do you know that various government departments are going to relocate to the mountain city? Qian Dajun asked with a smile.
That's right, how can there be so many Huang Jun as internal ghosts, and one of them is scary enough! But the people around these military and political officials may have access to these secrets.
"I've heard of it!" Han Lin said.
"Send someone to the mountain city as soon as possible to find a place to live, with the relocation of government agencies, soon the housing prices in the mountain city will skyrocket, and money may not necessarily buy a good place." Qian Dajun said.
His reminder was indeed out of good intentions, Han Lin was respectful to him, and he was also deeply valued by Jiang's commission, and more importantly, he had a lot of generous gifts during the New Year's holidays.
"Thank you for the care of the chief of the guard, if you don't find any good place in the mountain city, you can go to my family's property to live temporarily, my family has a real estate company in the mountain city, and last year a number of residences were built in Zaozi Lanya, which is reasonable, and when the time comes, you will be given a set to live in, and you will not be charged." Han Lin said with a smile.
From the start of real estate development in Shancheng until now, in fact, the real estate construction work has not stopped for a day, especially after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Gao Ruian and Yue Yingfeng, the two goods came to the spirit, and successively invested in two high-end residential areas.
They admired Han Lin's foresight indescribably, and worked hard to build the house, and when the news of the relocation was confirmed, smoke came out of their throats, at this time they were not afraid of many houses in their hands in the mountain city, and they were afraid that no matter how many they were, they would not be able to meet the demand.
"A year in advance, he engaged in real estate in the mountain city, and the Han family really deserves to be a famous businessman in our Jinling government, and I have to admire this vision and strategy. Okay, then thank you brother for your kindness, if there is a need, I will open up to you. Qian Dajun was a little dumbfounded.
A year ago, the Han family took into account the changes in the war and made the most accurate judgment, needless to say, this must be what Han Lin meant.
Han Lin may not have known that the Jinling government would definitely move to Shancheng, but with his control of the current situation and the comparison of the strength of the entire enemy and the enemy, he concluded that the Jinling government would not be able to withstand the Japanese attack in the early stage of the launch, and would adopt the strategy of exchanging space for time and gradually retreat to the southwest.
The most suitable city in the southwest region is naturally the mountain city, which has a steep terrain and can offset the attack of the Japanese mechanized corps, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountain city has developed shipping, and there is a certain industrial base on both sides of the strait.
Originally, Rongcheng, the capital of Sichuan Province, was richer and more populous, but it lacked the advantages of a mountain city, and the terrain was somewhat flat compared to a mountain city.
Thank you for the tips from foreign Tang monk friends, thank you!
