Chapter 498 - Recruiting Intelligence Talents
At about two o'clock in the afternoon of March 28, two planes arrived in Tokyo, and at almost four o'clock, the group rushed to the Allied General Headquarters in the center of the city. Li Junhao naturally wanted to see Dai Li, who came from afar, and as for Masanobu Tsuji, who was still in a daze, he was first locked in the confinement room on the basement floor of the building and went to be a neighbor with that Sejima Ryuzo.
In fact, Li Junhao and Dai Li really met in April 1939, and basically contacted through the radio for the next two years, and then Li Junhao returned to the United States and then went to the Indo-Burma theater, during which they did not meet again at all, which has not been seen for nearly seven years; At this time, Li Junhao was 32 years old, but Dai Li was nearly 50 years old, and he was embarrassed when he saw each other.
At this time, Dai Li's emotion was the deepest, when he and Li Junhao met, the other party was just a major, and now he is still the high-level Kuomintang at the beginning, this gap is too big, and the resentment against the old man in his heart rose, and he immediately went out of control.
Li Junhao didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing that his face was not good, he let him sit down in the reception area, made a pot of new tea for him himself, and said with a smile: "Boss Dai, I don't know what good tea is in Jiangshan, and now in Tokyo, I can only find some last year's Kaihua Longding tea to entertain you, I don't know if it suits your heart?" ”
Civilized dragon top? Dai Li was stunned when he heard this, Kaihua and Jiangshan are two adjacent counties, and the other party was able to think of his hometown, and specially found Kaihua famous tea to entertain him, and this friendship moved him very much...... Hurriedly said: "Very agreeable, thank you Chief Pan Sen!" ”
"Haha!" Li Junhao said, "Don't be so polite, just call me Pan Sen, we're old friends, aren't we?" ”
"yes, we're old friends!" Dai Li held the teacup in both hands and said with emotion.
Li Junhao saw that he was a little nervous, so he said: "Boss Dai, this time it's thanks to your help, otherwise, this Masanobu Tsuji doesn't know when he will be caught, thank you!" ”
"Don't say that!" Dai Kasa put down his teacup, waved his hand, and said, "Speaking of which, this Tsuji Masa letter is still the ...... I brought to the Kuomintang government," and then he explained the facts.
After listening, Li Junhao nodded and said, "I said, this guy disappeared directly from the battlefield, I thought he had great powers, it turned out that Boss Dai made a move!" ”
"Your Excellency, don't call me Boss Dai anymore, I can't afford to be in front of you!" Dai Lian waved his hand and said, "You are the one you want to look up to now!" ”
"Hah!" Li Junhao smiled, "Don't say that, since we are both old friends, then I will call you 'Brother Yunong' in the future, and you will call my name 'Pan Sen', so it is convenient to speak." ”
"Okay, Chief Panson." Dai Li nodded, he felt that he understood the mind of the big man, and he would not fall into such details.
Li Junhao did not force him, and continued: "You said in your telegram yesterday that Chairman Chiang has become suspicious of you and has begun to reduce your power, so you are worried about your safety, right? ”
"Yes, Chief." Dai Li explained the situation he was facing in detail very seriously......
After Li Junhao patiently listened to him, he said: "I don't think it matters if the 'Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army' and the Ministry of Finance are handed over to the formed troops......
"Of course, you should know my point of view, I don't like you to target the underground party again, and if you can do this, I don't mind adding another layer of protection to you - for example, the director of the China branch of the International Criminal Investigation Bureau under the Supreme Military Tribunal for the Allied Far East!"
Hey? Dai Li's eyes lit up immediately, this lofty name was something he didn't expect! So, he immediately asked, "May I ask, what is this sub-chief responsible for?" ”
"This is like this time, the absconding war criminal Masanobu Tsuji was captured and sent to the Far East Tribunal!" Li Junhao said, "This time, you have done a good job, and it can be regarded as the opening of the China Branch of the International Criminal Investigation Bureau!" ”
"Ah, I see!" Dai Li immediately laughed, "I, the sub-director, have already started to work, and I have already made a lot of achievements...... Right, Chief? ”
"Of course, Masanobu Tsuji is not an ordinary person!" Li Junhao, "In the Japanese military circles, this guy is called the 'Showa Three Staff Officers' together with Ishihara Waner and Sejima Ryuzo, both in terms of influence and destructive power to the Allied forces, and now you have captured him, and you have a lot of credit...... Well, I'm going to officially write it to the Kuomintang government, what do you think? ”
Dai Li was a little confused, this kind of unexpected joy was something he didn't dare to think about before.
Since Li Junhao wanted to use Dai Li, he naturally thought more, and then he continued: "If the Kuomintang side does not agree with my proposal, I will transfer you to the side of the Allied Far East General Headquarters, which also happens to lack excellent persons in charge of intelligence agencies......
Speaking of which, he was actually moved in his heart, and he was moved by this idea that just came out - Dai Li's character is not to say, but his ability in intelligence work is definitely one of the best in this era, if he can really use it for himself, it is tantamount to a very powerful arm!
Yes...... I have to say that Dai Li's heart is moved - really heartbeat! In his current mind, Pan Sen's promise is much more reliable than that mean and unkind Chairman Chiang.
Li Junhao continued: "Yu Nong, I can tell you that the allies are extremely short of capable people who can do things, and I think you can ...... What do you think? ”
"Can I really?" Dai Li was really a little excited at this time, and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course!" Li Junhao said, "I have two work directions for you now, one is the director of the China branch of the International Criminal Investigation Bureau mentioned earlier, and the other is to go to the United States with me and take charge of the CIA." ”
Dai Li's face changed, and after a while, he said firmly: "I want to stay in China......"
