After more than a month of absence, Li Shiqun's hometown has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Starting from Xinkangli in Caojiadu, along Jisi Feier Road to the Qiuyuan area in the east, many scattered vendors suddenly appeared, apparently serving as peripheral sentries to make up for the lack of security. No. 76, the villa of former Shandong Provincial Government Chairman Chen Xuexuan, has been renovated inside and out.
The original two-door Western-style building was replaced by an archway with red pillars and cornices, and the banner above was engraved with four large white characters on a blue background: "The world is for the public". There were actually two machine gun holes built on both sides of the archway. The two machine guns pointed directly at the gate, which was regarded as Li Shiqun's second line of defense.
The three-bay, two-entry Shikumen building at the west end of Gaoyangfang is still under construction in full swing.
Seeing that Mr. Chen, who had come to deliver the invitation, slowed down, his attention seemed to be attracted there. Li Shiqun, who greeted him personally, proudly introduced: "There are only about ten days left for the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee. Time is too urgent. , we can only make use of the patio in the middle of the front and rear zouma buildings, set up a glass shed on it, and then open up the front and back living rooms and wing rooms below, change it into a hall, and then put up a podium, which should be able to accommodate two or three people. More than a hundred people.¡±
The Sixth National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang - This is a major event for Wang Jingwei to create a legal basis for the new government. In the past few days, even Mr. Chen, a "democrat" who is not even a member of the league, has received two circulars from Zhou Fohai and Ding Mocun to attend the meeting, so that Mr. Chen still doesn't know Should I attend in a few days as a representative of Shanghai or as a representative of the Penang branch of the Chinese Kuomintang?
Looking at his triumphant look, Master Chen lost no time in complimenting him: "Director Li, as the main initiator of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, you have made the first contribution to the peace!"
"No matter where I am, I'm just trying my best."
"Humble!" Young Master Chen turned around and said seriously: "Whether the meeting can be held smoothly is directly related to whether the new government can be successfully established. From this perspective, no one can deny your great contributions. Obliterated.¡±
Li Shiqun felt very uncomfortable when he thought that Ding Mocun, with the support of Zhou Fohai, who was also from the CC department, was always pushing him. Not only was he nominated as a member of the Central Standing Committee and Minister of Social Affairs, but he was also appointed as the deputy commander of the "Peaceful Rescue" together with Wang Tianmu some time ago. Feeling the taste, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "If you don't do as well as you can see, what's the use of having great achievements?"
"Did Master Li say this?"
"Master Biao, do you really not know or do you pretend not to know?"
Young Master Chen pretended to think deeply for a moment, then suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Ding Mocun's office, and asked with a half-smile: "You mean the guy next door?"
"I did not say anything."
Although he said so, his expression had betrayed him. Young Master Chen was happy, pretending to be indignant, and said through gritted teeth: "Director Li, you are much better than me in comparison, and you are riding on your head." There are a lot of old bastards in my group who have no abilities and always like to point fingers. No matter the person named Ye, the person named Yang, or even the person named Bao, they are all not good people. It¡¯s not too late, believe it or not, sooner or later I have to give them some color.¡±
"I have been appointed as a member of the Military Commission and Deputy Director of the Aviation Administration. Master Cousin, please don't complain in front of me, the little deputy director of the Ministry of Police."
"What kind of deputy director of the Aviation Administration? I don't have a single plane or a single pilot. I am in name only."
"But you have soldiers!"
Li Shiqun sighed softly and said sourly: "You are in the name of the Air Force, with Mrs. Wang and Director Chen supporting you, how can those old bastards control you? Master Biao, don't think I don't know, you are now It¡¯s a regiment, and in a few days it will be a brigade, and by the time we return to the capital, it will probably be a division.¡±
After all, he is the head of the secret service. Nothing can be hidden from him. Young Master Chen had an idea and suddenly smiled: "Director Li, our brothers can't help with the above matters, but we can still cooperate with the lower ones. For example, sooner or later the secret service headquarters will have to Go out of Shanghai and set up offices in various places like Juntong and Zhongtong. If Director Li thinks highly of my younger brother, we can definitely cooperate in this regard. "
Li Shiqun didn¡¯t think that Young Master Chen would really be interested in spy work, but he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Master Biao, can you be more specific?¡±
"Director Li, with all due respect, regardless of the size, equipment and military quality of your security brigade or operations brigade, it will be difficult for them to adapt to the new situation after the return of the capital. You want the secret service headquarters to play the role of military unification and central unification. We must take precautions to establish a paramilitary force like the 'loyalty and justice rescuers'."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Chen added meaningfully:??"And I can help with that."
In this era where having a gun means you are a grass-headed king, who doesn¡¯t want to own a military force? In fact, Li Shiqun had long wanted to form a decent army. However, he had been closely watched by the Japanese and had nowhere to find funds, so he had to give up.
He never thought that Young Master Chen would actually bring it up. How could Li Shiqun miss this opportunity? Thinking of the business that Young Master Chen had just done with Wu Sibao not long ago, he said without hesitation: "Young Master Biao, you can make an offer. As long as I, Li Shiqun, will never refuse anything I can do.¡±
"I want someone, and I hope you can give her to me as soon as possible."
"who?"
"The woman who made Director Ding so fascinated that he almost lost his life."
"What do you want her to do?"
"She is of no use to you, but she is useful to the new government air force being formed. As for my cousin and cousin-in-law, you don't need to worry. Even Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou won't have any objections."
Pilot! It turned out that they were targeting Zheng Pingru's brother and fianc¨¦. Li Shiqun suddenly realized it. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "The military police are keeping a close eye on this matter. This matter is very troublesome. Master Biao, you should change other conditions."
Young Master Chen didn't think that he really couldn't make the decision. The reason why he said this was completely bargaining, so he simply showed his trump card, "You will appoint a full battalion of officers at all levels, and I will be responsible for all the food, wages, uniforms, weapons and equipment." . As for the soldiers you are the best to recruit them. If you are not afraid of attracting attention, you can do it for me. In short, just put up a sign with me and take them away whenever you want. "
What a generous act! Li Shiqun was shocked and asked again: "In Jiangwan or Wujin?"
"Wujin," Young Master Chen paused and continued: "Since Chenduqiao Airport is too far from Shanghai, Director Li can consider setting up a special agent station in Wujin, and I will negotiate with the 11th Mixed Brigade. In this way, not only can you have public activities, but your camp can also take care of it at the same time."
The army is not a sneaky spy. It not only needs equipment such as rifles, machine guns and mortars, but also requires formal training. The conditions offered by Young Master Chen were too much to refuse. Li Shiqun weighed them again and resolutely agreed: "Since Young Master Biao thinks highly of Li, then Li will not be respectful. I will find a way from the military police. You can take it away at any time.¡±
"Then we have an agreement?"
"It's a deal!"
"Then please ask Director Li to say hello to Captain Lin. I will go and pick up the people now. Officers and soldiers, you should also pay close attention, especially the officers. It is best to finalize it before the Sixth Central Committee Plenary Session, so that I can have a Prepare."
Li Shiqun was even more anxious than he was, and blurted out: "Don't worry, it won't delay your departure. At the same time, I also hope that Master Biao will treat everyone equally and not favor one over the other. After all, everyone is here for 'harmony.'"
" On my territory, eating my food, getting my salary, wearing my uniform, flying my banner Do you really think that if the officer is yours, then the army will listen to you?
Young Master Chen cursed secretly and laughed loudly: "Director Li, we haven't been dealing with each other for more than a day or two. You know how I am. I will do what I say and what I will do. I will never do anything like that." If you are really worried, you can always check it out."
¡°I have to admit that this person in front of me is really a master who keeps his word.
Li Shiqun held his hand tightly and said with a smile: "Master Biao, where did you go? We hit it off at first sight, how can I not trust you?"
It was already dusk when we arrived at the First Operations Brigade, and the agents were eating in the yard. Captain Lin Zhijiang had been waiting at the door. As soon as Master Chen and Ding Shuping got off the car, Lin Zhijiang asked eagerly: "Master Biao, do you know who she is?"
"woman."
"Young Master Biao, she is not an ordinary woman. Shu Zhijiang said bluntly, if you don't want to cause trouble, it's best not to take her away."
Young Master Chen stared into his eyes and said coldly: "Captain Lin, I think Director Li should have made it very clear on the phone. As for whether she will cause trouble to me, there is no need for you to worry about me. . If any lady blames me for this, let them go to Jiangwan Military Camp to find me, or call me directly."
Lin Zhijiang didn't dare to offend the person in front of him. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It's easier for the ladies to talk to you. The key is Director Ding. Master Biao, why don't you call him personally to save us who are doing things trouble?"
He is such a slick guy who doesn¡¯t want to offend anyone. Young Master Chen cursed secretly and whispered in his ear: "Captain Lin, those who understand current affairs are heroes. Listen to my advice."??Don't follow the wrong person or take the wrong path, otherwise you will regret it later. "
As the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China draws closer, the power struggle within No. 76 becomes more and more intense. It is a critical moment for people to clearly distinguish themselves and align themselves with others. Although Ding Mocun was disgraced due to the Zheng Pingru incident, he has won the trust of Zhou Fohai and other senior CC officials. . Although Li Shiqun is the real big boss, his future looks bleak due to insufficient qualifications and insufficient influence.
The words of Wang Mansion¡¯s young cousin undoubtedly represent the attitudes of Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun. Lin Zhijiang reacted and quickly turned around and shouted: "Open the door and let them go!"
"yes!"
"cousin!"
As soon as two sturdy men in black coats opened the iron door, Ding Shuping ran in impatiently. This surprised Zheng Pingru who was in a daze. She quickly stood up and asked: "Shu Ping, why are you here? You were also caught by They give¡¡±
Lin Zhijiang and Young Master Chen looked at each other, then knocked on the door and said with a half-smile: "Miss Zheng, pack your clothes, you can go."
"Let me go?" Zheng Pingru couldn't believe it, with a puzzled expression on her face.
Finally seeing the real Buddha, Master Chen was a little excited. While looking up and down, he smiled meaningfully and said: "To be precise, I will change your place. Shuping, help your cousin clean up. I will wait for you in the car." "
