In fact, there are several reasons why the big guys in Yan'an finally chose Tao Ping to go to Chongqing to assist Director Ye in his work at this time:
Firstly, Tao Ping was a newly appointed Major General of the Communist Party of China by Chiang Kai-shek. He had won the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun twice and had outstanding military exploits in the war against Japan. He was a serious problem for the Japanese army and the Japanese secret service had always wanted to eliminate him. And Hou Kuai's figure has even more neglected appeal across the country. In addition, with the recent popularity, some people in Chongqing have to worry about this if they want to move Tao Ping's idea. They will take huge political risks;
Secondly, Tao Ping himself was kind to the Jiang family and his son. He saved Xiao Jiang's life. Without his risking his life to save him, Xiao Jiang would not be alive today. After all, Jiang is still "nostalgic for old feelings". People don¡¯t just do things lightly. Tao Ping, the lifesaver who saved his son¡¯s life, from this point of view, Tao Ping can do many things that others can¡¯t do easily. , conducive to carrying out work;
Third, Tao Ping himself has a very deep connection with the current US Ambassador to Chongqing, and has a very good personal relationship with the staff of the US Embassy in China. In terms of external publicity, it is easier for the other party to accept it and he can carry out his work better.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Tao Ping was confirmed as the newly appointed deputy director of the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing. His rank was only lower than Director Ye. This shows that the big guys in Yan'an have high expectations for Tao Ping.
And after Tao Ping was summoned by the big guys, he naturally knew that he had a heavy responsibility in going to Chongqing, so he accepted the task without saying a word.
In order to prop up his appearance and build momentum, Tao Ping had no choice but to go to the Eighth Route Army headquarters again and ask the head of the headquarters to "borrow" a piece of "outfit" that he had sent out for "flattering", which was the Japanese Army Central Command that he had captured. Kazuo Takeuchi's saber "gifted by the Japanese Emperor".
This sword originally belonged to the Japanese Army Lieutenant General Kazuo Takeuchi as a "gift" saber. It was given to Kazuo Takeuchi by the Emperor of Japan in recognition of his bravery in the Russo-Japanese War.
The entire handle and scabbard are made of ivory and 24-karat pure gold. The ivory scabbard is inlaid with the unique 24-karat gold chrysanthemum logo of the Japanese royal family.
What's even more luxurious is that in order to increase the friction of holding the handle during battle, nearly a hundred red and sapphires the size of rice grains are inlaid on the ivory handle. Therefore, when the sun shines, the entire saber sparkles like gold. , colorful, like a work of art.
In fact, Taoping wanted to use Kazuo Takeuchi's "imperial gift" saber from the Japanese Emperor to build momentum. Apart from these, there were other more profound reasons.
Because there are currently only three Japanese Emperor's version of the saber in existence. In addition to the one in Tao Ping's hand, the other two were owned by an imperial uncle in Japan and another navy in Japan. In the hands of the founding father.
Therefore, this kind of saber has always been regarded as the highest symbol of honor in the Japanese army, and Tao Ping wanted to use it to demonstrate to some people with ulterior motives!
Because the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters also knew that Tao Ping had a heavy responsibility in going to Chongqing and would probably never return, so they "contributed" all these "attires" without saying a word.
And just when Tao Ping started to prepare his bags for his trip to Chongqing, far away in the military command headquarters in Chongqing, in the office of Director Dai, who was later known as the "Killing Demon King", Director Dai was preparing for the victory over the action unit. Dong frowned while holding the document in his hand.
Because the Chongqing authorities disregarded national justice and betrayed their faith, they brazenly launched the Wannan Incident and acted behind their own people.
As a result, thousands of New Fourth Army officers and soldiers died innocently and tragically, which greatly undermined the national united resistance front and aroused great indignation among the people across the country. Many people, including students, workers, and businessmen, took to the streets to protest against the Chongqing authorities. Shameless act.
For a time, waves of protests surged across the country, overwhelming the Chongqing authorities. As one of the most important minions of the Chongqing authorities, Juntong was busy "putting out fires everywhere" all day long.
Director Dai threw a twenty-page question directly into the face of Shengdong, the head of the action unit, and cursed at Shengdong:
"Idiots, they are all a group of idiots. You said that catching so many students is of no use! You didn't catch any big fish, so you caught some small shrimps, which is of no use!"
The key is to arrest the leaders and planners of this mass demonstration. If you arrest so many students who don¡¯t understand shit, you will only give them excuses! They accuse us of being a *** anti-Japanese patriotic movement! "
"Please calm down, the bureau chief. I will take this as a warning for my humble position! I will not disappoint the bureau chief next time." Shengdong, the head of the action stock unit, vowed to Director Dai.Tao.
After hearing Shengdong¡¯s sworn assurance, Director Dai let out a long sigh and said:
"These bastards from the Military and Political Department are good at fighting internally and outside fighting outside. What a bunch of fucking losers! They don't even look at the situation or what time it is now. They dare to choose to attack the Communist Party at this time. They will spend all day long. They are showing off to old men and don¡¯t even wipe their own butts when they poop, and they will do whatever they can to ask me to wipe their butts!¡±
¡°That bureau¡ªthese students¡¡± Shengdong asked Director Dai carefully for instructions.
"Let them all go, not a single one will be left alive! We can't tell how many unlucky guys will die of illness one day, and it's unreasonable, and bad luck will follow them!" Director Dai said to Shengdong impatiently.
"Yes, I understand your humble position!" Shengdong immediately stood at attention and said, warning of the substandard military salute. Since Shengdong was wearing casual clothes, this substandard military salute was even more irregular.
"Go ahead and tell those idiot gendarmes and police officers to prepare more high-pressure water cannons and air burst bombs. Don't just let them go and frighten the demonstrators. You can't use high-pressure water cannons to disperse the crowd." It¡¯s okay.
Never shoot at the crowd. The people are in a mood now. There is no need to add fuel to the fire. If someone is really killed, the matter will become a big issue. By then, we will not be able to end it even if we want to. It will only make CC Those bastards are laughing! You have to leave yourself a way out in everything, do you understand? Director Dai then warned Shengdong.
"Yes, I understand my humble position! I'll do it right now." Shengdong said after saluting a less than standard military salute. After saying that, Shengdong turned around and walked out of Director Dai's office.
At this point, I think it is necessary to make a special point. The two spy organizations, the Military Command and the Central Command, are weird in the administrative structure of the National Government. They are not under the jurisdiction of any level agency of the National Government, but they can govern the national government. Any agency in the government is very similar to the eunuchs of Dongchang and Xichang in the Ming Dynasty. Its existence is a very typical feature of Chiang's spies governing the country. They restrained and cooperated with each other.
They are neither under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defense nor the Executive Yuan. They are completely Chiang's personal thugs. They supervise the military and party affairs respectively. They are directly ordered to act under Chiang's orders. It can be said that they can touch whomever they want. You can deal with whoever you want, you haven't figured it out yet!
It is precisely because of this that in the National Government, everyone from the ministers to the legislators must respect the military commander and the central commander, not to mention ordinary police officers.
Therefore, Director Dai, who is not even a general, although he is only a school officer, can find an excuse to shoot a general at the rank of military commander in the *** at any time. This is somewhat ridiculous, but it is This is another indisputable fact. .
In fact, shortly after Shengdong walked out of Director Dai's office, Secretary Mao hurried to Director Dai's office with a document marked "Top Secret".
"Reporting to the Director, this is the secret investigation report about Staff Wang Haipeng and Wang Haipeng handed in by Section Chief Fan!" Secretary Mao said as he presented the document in his hand to Director Dai.
Director Dai looked at Secretary Mao in surprise, then took the report and read it carefully.
Soon a very disdainful expression appeared on Director Dai¡¯s face.
¡°Secretary Mao, what do you think about this matter?¡± Director Dai suddenly smiled and said to Secretary Mao.
Seeing Director Dai starting to question himself, Secretary Mao said to Director Dai uneasily:
"Judging from my subordinates, the reason why Chief Wang Haipeng took sick leave recently was mostly to avoid suspicion, which is not what Fan Wenxiu said at all. The reason why Fan Wenxiu is so troubled is that he has not forgotten the incident when Wang Haipeng investigated his brother-in-law for taking advantage of him. This time, he wants to take advantage of the Wannan incident to fish in troubled waters and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Wang Haipeng for shooting his brother-in-law!"
"It's great that you think so! It's not in vain that you have followed me for so many years. Most of the so-called evidence mentioned by Fan Wenxiu is hearsay and has no solid evidence. It is completely untenable, let alone the current Wang Haipeng. There is no problem, but Wang Haipeng is really, as stated in this report, colluding with Tao Ping and acting as an internal agent of the Communist Party of China. Now is not the time to touch him!" Director Dai said meaningfully.
"What do you mean, Bureau Chief!" Secretary Mao suddenly said to Director Dai with some confusion.
"This Tao Ping was able to pull a group of forty or fifty horse thieves into a team of six or seven thousand people within three years. It is a miracle! How could the old man let such a talent go so easily?" Dai The director suddenly said to Secretary Mao meaningfully.
"Director, you said that the old man still wants to win over Tao Ping!" Secretary Mao immediately said to Director Dai knowingly.
After hearing Secretary Mao¡¯s question, Director Dai said calmly:
"Now not only the old man, but also the Crown Prince also wants to win over and instigate rebellion against Tao Ping. Don't forget that Tao Ping saved the Crown Prince's life. We are really doing what Fan Wenxiu said at this moment. , and locked up Tao Ping's uncle, fearing that he was causing trouble for himself.
If one day, Tao Ping has a bright idea, comes to his senses, and surrenders with his troops, wouldn't we all become ministers in the same palace? By then, with a large number of troops in hand, he will suddenly become a hot shot, and nothing else. Let's just say that the life he saved the prince was unmatched by anyone else. Do you think we should leave a way out for ourselves? "
"The bureau chief is still far-sighted!" Secretary Mao immediately nodded and bowed and said to Director Dai.
So, Director Dai and Secretary Mao couldn't help but smile at each other.
