"Could it be that Brother Yunong wants to disobey the chairman's order?" Lin Xiaotang took out the cigarette box and shook it. Dai Li smiled and made a casual gesture. Lin Xiaotang then lit a cigarette, "As far as I know The actions of Commander Xiao and I have completely angered the Chairman. Many people in Chongqing deliberately kept a certain distance from me, but Brother Yunong persuaded me to leave at this time. What is the purpose of this? Brother Yunong, please speak clearly." Dai Li nodded, "If the Chairman wanted to deal with you a year ago, I would not hesitate to do it, but now, things have changed, and you are not the only one he has to deal with. He wants to deal with the entire military commander. " "I'm afraid you already know about the transfer of Xuan Tiewu, Zheng Jiemin and Tang Zong. You are a smart man and you should be able to feel the chairman's intention." Dai Li said with some pain. Waving his hand, "In the eight years of the war of resistance, the elites of our military command suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the middle-level cadres alone suffered more than 30,000 casualties. They killed the enemy with courage and blood. Even the Americans had to admire it, but even so , and cannot be accepted by the people of the country. The people call us hawks and dogs, and they are determined to get rid of us quickly. Now that the Anti-Japanese War is victorious, the Chairman is determined to dismantle the military." Dai Li pointed at Lin Xiaotang, and then pointed at himself, "Youzhong. Brother, you and I have been fighting for many years, but after all, we are all wearing the hat of military commander. In this difficult time, only by working together can we overcome the difficulties." Lin Xiaotang was not surprised by what Dai Li said. The intelligence obtained can reflect this. Dai Li was Chiang Kai-shek's right-hand man and gave Chiang great help in nearly twenty years of war. Military Tong came into being under such circumstances. For the behemoth of Juntong, Chiang Kai-shek's principle is to be both effective and defensive. All important matters and appointments in the military command must be decided by Chiang Kai-shek himself to prevent him from assuming power and becoming too powerful. Dai Li, for example, has been the leader of the military command for 10 years and is no more than a deputy director. His title was no more than a major general, and it was not as good as Lin Xiao's talk about this short-term lieutenant general. Moreover, it was always an internal appointment. It was not officially announced by the National Government until March this year. This shows that Chiang Kai-shek was on guard against the situation of a single monopoly in the intelligence department. While Lin Xiaotang was wary of Dai Li, he also had to admit that he had extraordinary talents. For more than ten years, Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li had gotten along quite well and harmoniously. Dai Li relied on Chiang to make his fortune and repaid Chiang for his kindness. Chiang Kai-shek absolutely supported and was loyal to Chiang, and he also admired his political acumen, talents, and ability to figure out his own psychology. In addition, Dai Li also understood that with his own qualifications, level, and ability, he could never defeat Chiang Kai-shek. First, he had no such hope of victory, and second, he could not escape Chiang's grasp. Dai Li had seen many heroes who competed with Chiang Kai-shek. Rather than being defeated by Chiang one by one, even if the warlords united collectively, they were still defeated one by one by Chiang. Therefore, Dai Li had already seen through it. His only way out was to gain Chiang's trust, otherwise there would be no way out. Over the years, Dai Li had thoroughly studied and catered to Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, actions, psychology, likes and dislikes, and personality, so he had always been admired by Chiang Kai-shek. Among all the spy organizations, he was the most trusted by Chiang Kai-shek. DaiĄŻs loyalty to Chiang was also impeccable, as evidenced by his risking his life to enter XiĄŻan after the Ą°XiĄŻan IncidentĄ±. Even Chiang Kai-shek did not deny this. But Dai Li did have ambitions. He believed that he had the ability to "govern the country and bring peace to the world." He once planned with Hu Zongnan to succeed Chiang Kai-shek in the future. However, when Chiang Kai-shek was alive, he did not dare to overthrow Chiang. He still had to rely on Chiang Kai-shek. To develop power. Lin Xiaotang's intelligence was very comprehensive. He knew very well that the conflict between Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li intensified after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In order to cater to public opinion and consolidate his rule, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to abolish the spy organization. In this way, the issue of Dai Li's whereabouts became prominent. Intelligence showed that Dai Li first sought the position of Minister of Police for his personal future, but Chiang Kai-shek did not agree. Later, he wanted to be the commander of the Navy, which aroused Chiang Kai-shek's dissatisfaction. Dai Li used personal connections to build relations with the United States, which increased the number of Chiang Kai-shek was suspicious of Dai Li. Chiang Kai-shek was worried that Dai Li would take tough counterattacks, so he struck first. In his view, Dai Li was indeed powerful but ambitious. He controlled important military power and was at war with the United States. It was so hot that Chiang Kai-shek was very worried. Dai Li's power is indeed very powerful. The military commanders and subordinates only listen to "Boss Dai" and not Chiang Kai-shek. No one takes him seriously. The armed forces controlled by the military commanders have reached hundreds of thousands, and they are all American-style equipment. They are invincible. , In addition, Dai Li also controls the political shady affairs among high-level officials of the Nationalist Government. No one in the Nationalist Government can compare with Dai LiĄŻs power to influence the situation, and Dai LiĄŻs relationship with the Americans is even more of a worry for Chiang Kai-shek. For him, In other words, this is a time bomb installed around him. Dai LiĄŻs purpose of coming to Lin Xiaotang this time is alsoIt's simple: he wants to protect himself. News has spread within the government that the army will be abolished. There may be no reason for the groundless rumors. It is impossible for Dai Li to go to Chiang Kai-shek in person to verify the authenticity of the news, because there is no need. The Anti-Japanese War was victorious and Dai Li's army has reached its peak stage. , at this time, Chiang Kai-shek undoubtedly wanted to take a suppressive stance to prevent the further expansion and expansion of the military command, but for Dai Li, this would undoubtedly break his right and left arms alive. Dai Li also understood that once the military unification was abolished and the power was reduced to pieces and transferred to other departments, he would no longer have much capital. Dai Li considered that he would first control the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense and the Police Department of the Ministry of Interior, and then control the military intelligence controlled by the general. , inspection and intelligence staff at all levels of the Kuomintang army were transferred to the second department, the special police were transferred to the Police Department, and the establishment of the Traffic Police General Bureau was accelerated. The corps, the regiments of the Traffic Guard Command and the tax police force, plus the surrendered Wang Puppet Tax Police Regiment and traitor troops, a total of seven divisions, were all organized into 18 traffic police corps and four teaching corps, all equipped with American equipment. The degree of mechanization is also very high. Dai Li attaches great importance to the armed forces controlled by these military commanders, considering them to be the most important capital. After the rebellion broke out in Chongqing, Dai Li began to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to infiltrate his power into the iron-barrel-like Second Office of the Ministry of National Defense, which was previously guarded by Pei Zhongyan. Now, Zheng Jiemin has officially taken over the Second Office, and he is only nominally in charge of the Ministry of National Defense. The Second Hall has always been under the control of Dai Li, and Tang Zong, on the one hand, had the leverage to fall into Dai Li's hands because of Nie Shangyun before, on the other hand, the Police Headquarters was originally a vassal of the military commander, so Tang Zong would only occupy it when he left. Got a name. After eliminating the influence of these two aspects, Dai Li considered the issue of Lin Xiaotang. As we all know, Lin Xiaotang controlled the military command department in the occupied areas and became a self-contained entity. After the Anti-Japanese War, the military commanders would face the situation of entering the occupied areas. According to Dai Li's plan The idea is that if you want to regain control of the occupied area, you must compete with Lin Xiaotang, which requires time and resources. But at this time, Lin Xiaotang staged a good show of disobedience in Japan, which made Dai Li very happy, because he found a good opportunity to integrate the military and realize the unification of military and political orders. For this reason, he immediately rushed to Shanghai, hid from the eyes and ears of Zhongtong, and met Lin Xiaotang secretly. Listening to Dai Li's eloquent talk, Lin Xiaotang's mind was spinning. He quickly understood the purpose of Dai Li's meeting with him. He felt a little funny in his heart. The military forces in the occupied area were currently only empty frames. It was rare for Dai Li to return. He has been thinking about it, and this time he acted out a big drama of giving someone timely help in front of him, which is really difficult for him. After thinking about this, Lin Xiaotang immediately relaxed, "Brother Yunong, you are right. In fact, even if you didn't say it, I have thought about leaving. At this time, the Chairman will not let me go, as a rebellious minister." , This time I came back to Shanghai, I also made such a plan. After all, there are still some industries in Shanghai, especially the subordinates who have been following me for many years. Due to circumstances, I will come back to clean up the mess. " Dai Li's eyes lit up. "Youzhong has such a plan, and I can give you full assistance." Lin Xiaotang smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy. The Central Government has sent people to Shanghai. I heard that Zhuang Chongxian, the former puppet government's military intelligence department, has become the vanguard of the Central Government. , Shanghai has been turned upside down these days, and even a lot of my property has been confiscated" Dai Li chuckled, "I heard about this too, Xuan Tiewu and Zhuang Chongxian teamed up to arrest them in Shanghai. Even Boss Du suffered a lot from his misdeeds in the name of a traitor. No, they all complained to me. DonĄŻt worry, Youzhong. Although I canĄŻt keep your official position, these industries in Shanghai, I I promise not to let anyone get involved." Lin Xiaotang smiled and hugged his fists, and then sighed: "Feng Shui has changed. I, Lin, just want to do something for the country and the nation, but I have no intention of even gaining a foothold on my own land. "I can't find any." Lin Xiaotang patted the table and said, "Brother Yunong, let's make sure people don't tell secrets. In this case, I will immediately order the personnel of each station in the occupied area to consolidate the information and industry. You can send people here. , I promise that my subordinates will fully cooperate, but I will have to stay in Shanghai for a while. I hope Brother Yunong can guarantee the safety of my life and property. I will leave Shanghai immediately after I have settled my property. " Dai Li's face showed joy, and he quickly extended his big hand, "It's a deal." Lin Xiaotang and Dai Li shook hands, and they looked at each other and smiled, but Lin Xiaotang suddenly remembered something, "Brother Yunong, I still have a bad feeling. Please, do you know how Yuan Jianfeng is doing now?" Dai Li frowned, "As soon as Xuan Tiewu arrived in Shanghai, Yuan Jianfeng was arrested. He is unlucky enough to be in charge of No. 76. For one year, I simply took the blame for Li Shiqun.??, since he serves in the puppet government and is in such a sensitive department, it may not be that easy to escape. " Lin Xiaotang nodded, "Brother Yunong, it is not easy for me to come forward at this time. I would like to ask you to work it out to see if you can get Yuan Jianfeng out. He is also an old friend of mine. I can save his life. The best yet. "
