Chapter 1361: Merits and No Faults
In this telegram, Cheng Qianfan gave a detailed report on the assassination incident of the Zhaofeng Association.
Moreover, the Shanghai Special Affairs Office independently handled this action without regard to the Shanghai District and proactively requested punishment from Chongqing, and gave an explanation at the same time.
First, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department successfully instigated Wang Tiemu's trusted adjutant Meng Ketu to defect, and continued to dig deeper, successfully instigating Wang Tiemu's trusted bodyguards Yu Zhiqiang and Ding Lingjin to defect.
Secondly, those traitors held a Christmas dinner, and Wang Tiemu, Chen Mingchu, He Xingjian and others decided on the spur of the moment to go to the dance hall to play. It was also rumored that Wang Puppet Central Committee members such as Jing Muyun might also attend. So many traitors gathered together, and the other party was indulging in pleasure and lax in their vigilance. The incident happened suddenly and the timing was urgent, so they had no time to contact the Shanghai District.
Thirdly, the reason why the telegram was delayed for many days before sending to Chongqing was because the enemy was fierce and the search was frantic. In order to avoid the enemy's edge, they did not dare to send the telegram. In addition, He Xingjian was seriously injured at the time and his life or death was unknown. So they also considered waiting for accurate news before reporting the victory to Chongqing.
Dai Chunfeng glanced at Qi Wu, because the wording in Cheng Qianfan's telegram was not exactly the same as Qi Wu's justification for the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department's failure to call in time. They were almost like twins.
"This shows that I still understand Qianfan." Qi Wu was not ashamed, but proud, and said happily.
He had just been observing Dai Chunfeng's expression. Although Dai Chunfeng's tone was not without sarcasm and anger, Qi Wu, who knew Dai Chunfeng well, knew that Boss Dai's inner anger had actually disappeared, and could even be described as "slightly proud".
There was no other reason. Every word Cheng Qianfan used in the telegram hit Dai Chunfeng's sore spot.
For example, "The relevant personnel conveyed to the three people the senior's instructions on persuading and ordering those who made mistakes and betrayed to turn back. The three people burst into tears, saying that they were deeply sinful, and were grateful to the senior for his leniency and willing to make meritorious deeds while serving their sentences."
Another example is, 'In this critical moment, although I am very nervous and worried that I will not be able to handle this good opportunity independently, I have to act decisively considering the needs of the party and the country, the teachings of the principal, and the expectations of my seniors. This is the time to sacrifice my life for the country. '
Another example is, "Director Qi came to Shanghai last time and said that when the senior mentioned those treacherous beasts, he was furious and wanted to eat their flesh alive. He repeatedly encouraged us to kill the enemy and serve the country to fulfill the senior's ambition..."
This satisfied Qi Wu.
Another example is "Boss Dai made strategic plans and won the battle thousands of miles away; Director Qi went deep into the tiger's den and gave personal guidance, which enabled our Special Affairs Department to work together and fight hard to achieve this outstanding victory."
Well, this also made Qi Wu very satisfied.
……
"Chen Gongshu is complaining, and we are still discussing how to deal with this matter." Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly, "Look, this kid is still talking about reporting victory."
Qi Wu clearly caught a glimpse of the slightly upturned corners of Dai Chunfeng's mouth when he spoke.
Putting aside other things, just talking about the assassination itself, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department's operation was a brilliant success.
In the telegram, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department reported the results of the battle to Chongqing:
They successfully assassinated traitorous chieftains such as Chen Mingchu, He Xingjian, and Jian Zhiping, eliminated more than a dozen agents of the No. 76 secret service, and killed fifteen Japanese military police officers including the sergeant (corpsman).
Qi Wu secretly speculated that it was a common practice for Kuomintang officers to exaggerate their battle achievements, but Cheng Qianfan was more particular and did not exaggerate much. So, he silently calculated in his mind that, excluding the important figures who were killed, the number of Agent No. 76 who were killed should be around ten, and the number of Japanese military police who were killed should be between six and seven.
Even on the front line, this was equivalent to killing more than a dozen puppet soldiers and six or seven Japanese soldiers, which could be considered a great victory in the battle.
Of course, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department also suffered considerable losses itself.
Cheng Qianfan reported his own losses to Chongqing. Four brothers from the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department died, more than ten were injured, including four seriously injured, and some weapons and ammunition were lost.
This can be said to be a heavy loss, but of course, compared with the results of the battle, it was also a great victory.
"Look, if there's no telegram, he's talking about it. But when there is a telegram, he's just asking for money!" Dai Chunfeng raised the telegram paper in his hand and snorted coldly.
At the end of the telegram, Cheng Qianfan complained bitterly and asked Chongqing for funds to make up for the loss of guns and ammunition in this operation, as well as pensions for the brothers who died in the country, medical expenses for the injured brothers, etc.
Of course, there are also rewards for this successful action achieved under the comprehensive deployment of Senior Dai and the overall guidance of Senior Qi.
"He feels he has made a great contribution, so he dares to ask for money." Qi Wu said with a smile.
"There's no need for you to praise that kid." Dai Chunfeng glared at Qi Wu and said.
As he spoke, he looked thoughtful, "What do you think of Chen Gongshu's complaint now?"
Qi Wu did not answer this question immediately. He thought for a while before saying, "Chen Gongshu judged that Chen Mingchu was sincere. Anyway, I am not on the front line in Shanghai and have no say in this. I still choose to trust the comrades working on the front line."
However, Qi Wu's expression became more serious immediately. "It's just that I have some concerns and doubts about one thing."
"Tell me about it." Dai Chunfeng hooked the string of the teacup with his right index finger and said lightly.
"Chen Mingchu was afraid of death and surrendered without being tortured. He became a traitor and later sold out many people in Shanghai and Nanjing to please the Japanese." Qi Wu said with a serious expression, "Of course, let's not talk about the past. Let's just talk about the present. Even if Chen Mingchu really repents, he really does—"
He looked at Dai Chunfeng, "What I mean is, even if I can believe that Chen Mingchu is truly loyal, I don't think he has the guts to try to assassinate Wang Tianhai."
After saying that, Qi Wu shut up.
Dai Chunfeng pulled the rope of the teacup lid again and again, and the room was filled with the sound of the lid and the rim of the teacup hitting each other.
He understood what Qi Wu meant. The most important part of Chen Gongshu's plan, or Chen Mingchu's greatest role, was to 'assassinate Wang'!
However, Qi Wu didn't think Chen Mingchu had the courage to do this.
Based on this, even if Chen Mingchu is truly rebellious, the role of this person will be greatly weakened.
In this case, even if Chen Mingchu did come to his senses and was indeed killed by Cheng Qianfan's Shanghai Special Affairs Department by mistake, then -
If he's dead, he's dead. We can only say that he had a bad fate, that's all!
Strictly speaking, Chen Mingchu betrayed the party and the country and sold out so many brothers. (As long as they are no longer of value), such a person deserves to be put to death.
"Wang Tiemu was also implicated in this matter and is imprisoned," said Dai Chunfeng.
"Wang Tiemu may have some intention of changing his mind," Qi Wu said thoughtfully, "or maybe he is just hesitant and has no intention of changing his mind."
"Commander, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group is truly sacrificing their lives for the country!" he said.
His meaning was clear and direct: whether Wang Tiemu would rebel or not was unknown. It was not right to measure the bloody battles of the brothers on the front line by the unknown.
Dai Chunfeng knew that Qi Wu had not said one thing:
Just like Chen Mingchu, Wang Tiemu, who once feared death and surrendered to the enemy, would he really have the courage to assassinate Wang Tianhai?
"Draft a telegram." Dai Chunfeng pondered for a moment and said to Qi Wu, "Send a telegram to Chen Gongshu and say -"
"Just say that the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department was ordered to eliminate traitors, and they were not aware of your contact with Chen Mingchu. It's no wonder they didn't know."
"Yes." Qi Wu nodded.
Just at this moment, there was another knock on the office door.
Qi Wu took the secret message from Mao Shun and glanced at it. His expression changed slightly. He waved his hand to signal Mao Shun to leave, then turned to look at Dai Chunfeng, "Urgent message from Bluebird."
Dai Chunfeng was quite surprised. He glanced at the telegram he had just received, and then he couldn't help but worry. Another telegram came. Has something happened?
Qi Wu quickly translated the telegram.
The telegram was not long, just reporting one urgent matter:
In order to prove his innocence, Wang Tiemu said that he had a secret of the Military Control Commission in his hands and wanted to report it to the Japanese.
"brazen!"
"Willing to be a thief!"
"This is to cut oneself off from the people and the Party and the country!"
Dai Chunfeng was furious.
He naturally understood that Wang Tiemu had been hiding this Military Intelligence Bureau secret from the Japanese, not because he still had a conscience. You must know that the direct or indirect result of Wang Tiemu's betrayal was that Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin were all in a bloody storm, and nearly a hundred good men of the Military Intelligence Bureau were arrested, including a top military figure like Che Che, the station chief of Tianjin Station.
The reason why Wang Tiemu hid this "Military Control Commission secret" was actually because he wanted to use it as a bargaining chip at any time.
Just like this time, he planned to use this as a bargaining chip to buy his life from the Japanese!
"Tell 'Bluebird' to find a way to manipulate secretly and try to use No. 76 or the Japanese to get rid of Wang Tiemu--" Dai Chunfeng said.
He paused and said, "This time, the action of the Zhaofeng Association was personally taken by 'Blue Bird'."
"Yes." Qi Wu nodded. "The telegram seemed to say that because the situation was urgent and there was no time to gather people, he had to do it himself."
"Forget it. Tell 'Bluebird' that regarding Wang Tiemu's matter, he can work secretly or take advantage of the internal conflicts of the enemy, but he must not act too hastily. Everything should be done to protect himself." Dai Chunfeng said.
Since Cheng Qianfan has personally participated in the operation, he should be careful, as the saying goes, "A wild goose leaves a sound when it passes by, and footprints leave traces in the snow." He should not continue to get involved in this matter, so as not to arouse too much suspicion.
"Yes." Qi Wu said.
"Regarding what 'Bluebird' said, what do you think the important intelligence Wang Tiemu holds about us is? What is it related to?" Dai Chunfeng asked with a serious expression.
"It's hard to say." Qi Wu also frowned and said with a wry smile, "Whether it's Pingjin or Shanghai, Wang Tiemu has mastered too many secrets before. He even knows some secrets that he shouldn't know. This is also the most worrying thing."
He said to Dai Chunfeng, "Although we have conducted a thorough self-examination and extrication after Wang Tiemu's treason, no one can guarantee that it has been completely dealt with."
"Send telegrams to Peking, Tianjin, and Shanghai, asking all departments to be on high alert and be careful of incidents." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice.
"In addition..." Dai Chunfeng paced, suddenly stopped, and said, "The previous telegram to Chen Gongshu is invalid, and this one is the standard..."
Qi Wu took notes.
"Let's just say that the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department was ordered to eliminate traitors, and they were not aware of your unit's contact with Chen Mingchu. It's no wonder they didn't know. Moreover, He, Jian and others are all stubborn traitors and deserve to be killed. Therefore, Xiao Mian's unit has made some merits but committed minor faults." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice.
Qi Wu recorded the telegram and handed it to Dai Chunfeng with both hands, "Director, do you think it's appropriate?"
Dai Chunfeng took the telegram, looked down at it, nodded first, then frowned.
After thinking for a moment, Dai Chunfeng picked up his pen and started writing.
Then, when the telegram was returned to Qi Wu, it had been slightly modified and the new telegram was as follows:
The Shanghai Special Intelligence Department only knew how to follow orders and eliminate traitors. Chen Mingchu's death was an accident. He, Jian and others were all stubborn traitors and deserved to be killed. They also dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese. Xiao Mian's troops made great contributions and did nothing wrong.
Qi Wu took a look at the final draft of the telegram, nodded, and hurried away to send the telegram to various departments.
……
"Brother Fan, it's done." Li Hao said to Cheng Qianfan.
"Yeah." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
Seeing that Haozi was hesitant to speak, he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Why? Don't you understand?"
"Brother Fan, we are making a lot of money from business, why do we still need..." Li Hao said.
"Why do you still want to forge accounts and take the money of dead people?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Li Hao and said.
Li Hao nodded.
In this operation of the Zhaofeng General Assembly, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department suffered very little casualties, with only three brothers injured and no brothers died for the country.
However, in Brother Fan’s telegram to Chongqing, the losses were exaggerated exponentially, and several brothers were even listed on the list of martyrs.
This made Li Hao quite confused. People always exaggerated the results and minimized the losses, but Brother Fan exaggerated the results while not forgetting to exaggerate the losses.
"No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Besides, it's not a mosquito leg."
He looked at Li Hao and said earnestly, "Haozi, remember this: only the crying child gets the milk."
Seeing Haozi's thoughtful look, Cheng Qianfan said again:
Being able to cry is not just about pretending, you have to really cry.
There was one thing he didn't say to Li Hao, which was:
Being too outstanding is not a good thing, it means you are not sociable.
He suffered a considerable loss, so Senior Dai's anger would subside a lot, and he would feel more distressed. The same goes for Qi Wu. He would let go of some of his grudges and still speak well of him.
……
The 29th year of the Republic of China arrived amidst the snowflakes.
This is the second snow this winter.
The snow in Shanghai was not heavy, but it snowed intermittently for several days, which was rare and very biting.
"I heard that you searched Cui Jingying's home?" Li Cuiqun asked Ma Tianxun.
He ordered Ma Tianxun to solve the assassination case of the Zhaofeng Association.
Ma Tianxun believed that Wang Tiemu's concubine Cui Jingying was a suspect, so he arrested her and took her to No. 76, and then searched her home.
"Yes, Director."
"Have you found out anything?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"Nothing was found." Ma Tianxun said, "However, I sent someone to the Bank of China to search Cui Jingying's safe, and unexpectedly found something unexpected."
"Oh?" Li Cuiqun looked surprised.
He really didn't expect that Cui Jingying would actually have a problem. He always suspected that Ma Tianxun arrested Cui Jingying more out of lust.
"What did you find?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"We stole a gold chain and a golden chicken heart from the safe." Ma Tianxun took out the golden chicken heart from his pocket and handed it to Li Cuiqun, "The secret lies in this golden chicken heart."
Li Cuiqun looked at Ma Tianxun and couldn't help but frown.
It's a good thing that you discovered the problem, but why are you smiling so obscenely, as if you went to a nightclub and unexpectedly found out that the dancer you were hugging was your brother's wife?
