"Except for those Nanyang relatives, he doesn't believe anyone. Sister what should I do now? Will I be locked up like this forever?"
Weiyuan is not a big place to begin with, and more than 40 soldiers from the guard platoon change their posts every two hours to guard the outside tightly. Daily necessities are purchased by Azhu, a girl who is loyal to the Chen family, and Liu Ma and A Bing, the elders of the Chen family, are responsible for purchasing firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. They have thought of everything they can think of, and they can't even find an excuse to go out.
Although you can move around freely in the garden, Director Xie, who is crueler than a snake and scorpion, lives next door, and her every move cannot escape her eyes and ears. It makes people shudder to think about it. After walking around inside and outside, Ding Shuping was completely despairing. She sat on the corridor beside the fish pavilion, unable to show any interest in the exquisitely laid out and fascinating scenery in front of her.
Zheng Pingru didn't seem to hear anything, and her attention was still focused on the "Five Bats and Longevity" picture made of exquisite broken porcelain pieces at her feet. Ding Shuping became anxious and shook her arm vigorously, "Sister, you should think of a way. Yeah! If I don¡¯t give any news to my family, my father and mother will definitely die of panic.¡±
"What's the use of just being anxious?"
Zheng Pingru raised her head and stroked her little hand, "Shu Ping, you are right to listen to my sister. Stop acting like a young lady. As for your father and your mother, there is no need to worry at all. You must know that they are deeply devoted to you, and they love you as much as they love you. There will definitely be arrangements.¡±
Whenever she mentioned Young Master Chen¡¯s wishful thinking towards her, Ding Shuping would become very conflicted. She hated him to the core. She hated him for being a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. He shamelessly claimed to be interested in her and took advantage of others' danger to force her to marry him. She hated him for abandoning the nation's justice and was determined to be a traitor. She hated him for being selfish. , doing everything possible to avoid being implicated.
But it feels sweet to think that the reason why he did that was indeed for his own safety. After all, the country has fallen, the world is in decline, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. If you think about it, it is indeed not easy for him to achieve this step. At least one hundred times, one thousand times, ten thousand times better than that Dingmo Village.
What¡¯s even more commendable is that so far he has been able to stick to his promise and has not faked anything.
Seeing that her pretty face suddenly turned red, how could Zheng Pingru not understand what she was thinking, so she struck the iron while the iron was hot and said, "Shu Ping, so far, we have managed to get things right. Still remember his words, 'If I promise you now, then I will Is he still a traitor in essence? The implication is very clear, he doesn¡¯t want to be a traitor at all.¡±
Although Ding Shuping wanted to believe that this was true, she still pouted her lips and muttered: "Wang Jingwei also said that he saved the country through curves. Which traitor wouldn't say that?"
"But not only did he say it, he also did it!"
Zheng Pingru lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "If he is really what you think, why would he save me, an unrelated person? After all, from the moment you walked into Jiangwan Military Camp, he was I have already become suspicious. If he really devoted his life to the Japanese and Wang Jingwei, not only would he not save me, let alone save Chen Baohua's life, but he would have taken credit for it. "
"Maybe he wanted to leave a way out for himself."
"It is possible, but it is not an opportunity for us. It is precisely because of this that I say that we are doing something wrong. It is a foregone conclusion that Wang Ni will establish another government, which will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the war of resistance. Shuping, what do you think? Think about it, at this critical moment, if we can successfully instigate Wang Gongguan¡¯s young cousin, member of the Central Committee of the Puppet Kuomintang, and member of the Military Commission, how much help will it have in boosting the morale of the resistance? "
Ding Shuping understood this truth better than anyone else, but thinking of Master Chen's attitude of refusing to stay away from a thousand miles away, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Sister, don't forget how his father died? It's not easy to instigate him. What's more, he and his people The subordinates are all overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia, and they are not even real Chinese. Telling him these big principles is like playing the piano to an ox. "
"Shu Ping, the more difficulties we encounter, the less we must lose confidence. Sitting here and blaming others will not serve the country. Only by doing can we have hope of success. I believe in his feelings for you, and I believe that you can take this piece of work A hundred times of steel turned into softness around the fingers.¡±
"I¡¡?"
Having been rejected once, Ding Shuping seemed to lack confidence. Zheng Pingru didn't want to put too much pressure on her, so she joked: "My silly sister, he looks like a talented person, he also loves others, and he cares about both public and private matters. Where can I find such a good thing?"
Ding Shuping smiled and said, "Sister, since it's so good, you can go and make this piece of steel."
"You think I don't want to, but your husband doesn't like me."
While talking, Young Master Chen, who had just finished the banquet, walked over from a distance. Zheng Pingru pinched her arm quickly and said, "Beauty, it's up to you. Use your special skills to charm him."?After that, he turned around and walked to his room.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Young Master Chen greeted him softly as usual. Ding Shuping was stunned for a moment, then realized, "I just finished eating, where have you been? You smell like alcohol and you're dead."
Compared with those national righteousness and intrigues, Master Chen is more willing to chat with her about trivial matters. I thought that the old master had gone to the Changzhou branch of Jishitang Pharmacy and would have to wait a while before coming back. Zhang Xiaoguo, Chen Shangwen, Mr. Qian and others also had to wait for a while to arrive, so they simply sat down and said with a smile on their faces: "I went to the Continental Hotel to socialize, but I didn't drink too much."
"Continental Hotel?"
"Well," Mr. Chen nodded and said with a smile, "This is the place where the love of life and death between Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo began. The big star Zhou Xuan also lives there every time he returns to Changzhou to perform. I will take you to see it when I have time."
Ding Shuping pursed her lips and listened with a faint smile, and suddenly said: "I thought you would never let me go out."
"Don't say those stupid things, isn't this a temporary measure?"
Young Master Chen seemed to have remembered something, "By the way, before I left, I asked Director Zhang Qingxi from the left-behind office to visit your home. I just received a reply today, saying that my uncle didn't welcome him very much and even threw away the gifts. My aunt also Okay, I asked him about your current situation and asked him to bring you a few boxes of winter clothes."
Speaking of her parents, Ding Shuping shed tears. Looking at her grief-stricken look, Master Chen sighed softly, "Shuping, be strong, everything will be fine. Again, I won't I will take advantage of others' danger, and I will not let you suffer unjust injustice. When I find the right opportunity, I will not only let you go, but I will also explain everything and let you live your life openly. "
Ding Shuping was convinced of this. As for where the confidence came from, even she couldn't tell clearly, so she wiped her tears and asked cautiously: "What about my cousin?"
"She is more troublesome, I can't just let her go."
Just as he was talking, guard platoon leader Chen Changshou walked over quickly, "Regiment leader, Deputy Commander Wang, Deputy Commander Chen, Staff Officer Zhang, Staff Officer Wei and Director Chen are all here and are waiting for you in Siyi Hall."
Now is not the time for flirting. Young Master Chen stood up immediately and said, "Shu Ping, go and call Director Xie for me. There are women living there, so it's not convenient for us to go." Although Ding Shuping was a hundred 200,000 was extremely unhappy, but thinking that this was also an opportunity to "serve the country", he reluctantly nodded.
Five minutes later, under the auspices of Young Master Chen, the chief officer of the "Corpse Collection Corps" officially held the first meeting since arriving in Wujin.
To everyone¡¯s surprise, Ding Shuping came uninvited and served tea and water as the ¡°Madam of the Group¡±. When she picked up the cup in front of Xie Xiulan, she snorted provocatively. Young Master Chen turned a deaf ear, and it was hard for others to say anything. The meeting went on in this weird atmosphere.
"The second batch of Nanyang brothers has arrived. Except for the 23 telecommunications personnel who have been directly incorporated into the army and the Shanghai Stay Office, the other 116 brothers have all entered the officer training corps. As before, there are still senior officers there. Brother Cai is in charge. In order to maintain smooth communication, General Manager Yang of the company also sent people to set up a radio station in Hong Kong. The commissioning has been completed and the first telegram will be received tonight."
As expected, Britain declared war on Germany!
This made the directors of the five major companies in Penang realize the weight of the information provided by Master Chen. It is precisely because of this that the support for Young Master Chen has been further increased. Not only have more than a hundred people been sent, but more will continue to be sent to the country in the future.
In addition to the Japanese and Wang Jingwei, there were also overseas Chinese in Nanyang who supported Liang Weihua. While he was thinking hard about what Master Chen wanted, the old master continued: "Ten percent of the procurement tasks of the distinguished brothers have been completed. Let's continue." The main task is safe transportation. Considering that the airport is not that safe, I suggest launching military operations as soon as possible in the name of maintaining law and order to actually control several towns in Wubei or Chengxi. "
Chen Liang took over the conversation, pointed at the map and said: "Let's start with Zhang Shaohua's department. This has been explained by the group. But I think we should also do the work of the 'Dadi Sword Society' at the same time. After all, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. As long as we can If we show enough sincerity, we should be able to bring the 'Big Sword Society' to our side."
Young Master Chen weighed it up and said categorically: "If we can succeed in fighting one by one, the situation in Wubei will be greatly improved, and this is what Murakami and Morita would like to see. In view of the location of the material storage It needs to be solved urgently, so the action can only be carried out in advance and not delayed. Deputy Commander Chen is responsible for collecting intelligence, and Staff Officers Zhang and Wei will formulate a combat plan and strive to eliminate Zhang Shaohua's department without leaving any future troubles. "
"There is no problem with the information," Chen Liang said confidently. "At six o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the latest, I will be able to grasp the specific location of Zhang's headquarters and the general defensive measures. If there is more time, I can even bribe or break into a group of people. Two insiders have a more accurate grasp of Zhang Shaohua¡¯s whereabouts.¡±
"Consultant Zhang, what do you think?"
"Regiment, the troops need to rest and recuperate. It will take two days at the earliest before they can move."
Zhang Xiaoguo and Liang Weihua looked at each other, and then said: "In addition, according to the information provided by Deputy Commander Chen, Zhang was originally a river bandit before being incorporated, and the areas where they operate are all along the river. If you are not careful, you can He escaped, so we can¡¯t act in a hurry, so we must make more preparations for a rainy day.¡±
Young Master Chen stared into Liang Weihua's eyes, "Counsel Wei, do you have any objections?"
Liang Weihua did not have any psychological burden to fight Zhang Shaohua, who was worse than the Japanese. He said without hesitation: "Reporting to the group, our arrival is not a secret. It must have been spread outside. For those armed forces who only use the banner of anti-Japanese For me, we are always a threat, so I think it¡¯s better to be quick and catch them off guard than to let them be prepared.¡±
This is the difference between the deputy brigade commander of a major general and the deputy battalion commander of a major. Sure enough, they are one step ahead.
Thinking of going to negotiate with Murakami and Morita tomorrow morning, Master Chen realized that this might be a bargaining chip, and immediately turned back and asked: "Deputy Commander Chen, can you find out the whereabouts of Zhang Shaohua's department before one o'clock in the morning?"
Success or failure depended on this. Chen Liang did not dare to agree easily. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "The approximate location is Shizhuang, but I don't know which village it is in."
Seeing that Young Master Chen was determined to fight this battle, Zhang Xiaoguo gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Regiment, there are still eleven hours until one o'clock in the morning, so the search team can take the radio station and set off at the same time as the brothers from the intelligence department. Once confirmed, the army will set off immediately, trying to launch the attack before dawn and resolve the battle before 12 noon tomorrow. "
Young Master Chen is full of confidence whether he can defeat the rabble that can't even defeat the "Big Sword Club".
Thinking that the worst result would be for him to escape, Mr. Chen slammed the table with a bang, "That's it! Deputy Commander Chen, you immediately take your brothers from the intelligence department to the airport to join the search team; Chen Director, go back and prepare ammunition and logistics supplies. Staff Zhang and Staff Wei, you go back and formulate a battle plan. The two of you will serve as the commander and deputy commander of the entire operation. Before the army sets off, I will go with Deputy Commander Wang to mobilize before the battle. "
