Chapter 1374: Special Operations Comrades Meet Without Recognizing Each Other
Facade!
Although what Liu Xia said was a little obscure, Cheng Qianfan understood it immediately.
He nodded, fell into deep thought, but did not say anything more.
Liu Xia did not continue to delve into this topic.
She also didn't need Cheng Qianfan to express his opinion now.
Her task was to communicate with Cheng Qianfan "privately" so that he could be mentally prepared. As for what decision Cheng Qianfan would make, that was Cheng Qianfan's business.
However, when arriving at Wang's residence and about to get off the car, Liu Xia couldn't help but say: "Brother Fan, although Shanghai is safe, Nanjing is a royal place!"
Cheng Qianfan nodded deeply and took Liu Xia's small handbag.
……
Chen Chunpu is very busy.
Liu Xia and Cheng Qianfan were led to Chen Chunpu's office. Chen Chunpu pointed to the reception sofa and motioned for them to sit down for a while.
Soon a staff member poured tea.
A man in a Zhongshan suit led several people in and placed documents and bags of archival materials on the desk.
The man nodded to Liu Xia, then saw Cheng Qianfan. He was stunned at first, then he also smiled and nodded.
Cheng Qianfan stood up slightly, nodded in greeting, and then sat down.
He had a slight impression of this person. When he accompanied Chu Mingyu to meet Wang Tianhai, Wang Tianhai's personal Japanese translator Mi Wenqin came in to report on his work. This person seemed to be Mi Wenqin's entourage. He stood at the door waiting obediently and did not enter.
……
Pei Zhicun sorted the documents and placed them on Chen Chunpu's desk.
I was secretly pondering in my heart.
This 'Mr. Cheng' from the French Concession and Chu Mingyu's trusted assistant Liu Xia, the two of them came to visit him one after another, which could not help but attract his attention.
"Director, Su Wenxi from Dadao City Government called and wanted to visit you." Pei Zhicun said.
"Call me back and tell me I'm not available these two days."
"Yes." Pei Zhicun kept it in mind secretly.
Chen Chunpu said that he was not free these two days, but he did not say that he would not be free in the future, nor did he say that he would be free in the future. As for whether he is free or not, it depends on whether Secretary-General Su knows about the matter.
"Secretary Pei, the budget for the Spring Festival Peace Conference is too high. These people don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. The country is in a difficult situation and all industries are booming. Write it down and reduce it by 20% based on the total amount."
"Yes!" Pei Zhicun said. He took out a document from the third layer of the pile and handed it to Chen Chunpu. "Director, this is the manuscript for tomorrow's speech."
"We must fully understand the important speech made by the gentleman in his New Year's message." Chen Chunpu took a quick glance and said.
"I understand." Pei Zhicun said.
He understood that this meant that more quotes from Mr. Wang's important speeches should be included in the speech.
Chen Chunpu picked up another document and glanced at it, muttering to himself, "Spring Festival dinner invitation? Whose? The secret service headquarters?"
He frowned and looked at Pei Zhicun inquiringly, "Number 76 invites me to the Spring Festival dinner?"
"The invitation was sent by Zhang Lu, deputy director Li Cuiqun's bodyguard," Pei Zhicun said. "The message from the other side is that they hope the director will be available to visit."
"I won't go." Chen Chunpu shook his head. "Then you go there and represent me."
"I understand." Pei Zhicun nodded.
……
Cheng Qianfan saw that Chen Chunpu had been busy for a long time. Secretary Pei led the others away, and Chen Chunpu finally had the time to drink a few sips of tea.
"Oh, you must be impatient waiting." Chen Chunpu said with a smile, shaking his head and sighing, "I'm so busy every day."
"Director Chen, you are busy with all kinds of things and work hard for state affairs every day. Your hard work really makes a young man like me who is greedy for pleasure ashamed." Cheng Qianfan said.
"That's different." Chen Chunpu waved his hand. "Young people should be cool when it's time to be cool."
He smiled and said, “I was also a young man, so I can understand.”
Then he seemed to suddenly realize something, pointed at Cheng Qianfan and said to Liu Xia, "Liu Xia, look, this kid is very cunning."
Chen Chunpu laughed and said, "He said that on purpose. He wanted me to praise him for his hard work, but I didn't do what he wanted."
"He is indeed a sneaky guy." Liu Xia said with a smile, "Fortunately, Director Chen has a keen eye."
Cheng Qianfan showed a look of injustice.
After Chen Chunpu took the initiative to condescend and said a few words, the atmosphere in the office became very good.
He took the budget list handed over by Liu Xia and listened to Liu Xia's report.
"A gap of 15,000?" Chen Chunpu frowned slightly.
"This batch of weapons and ammunition was obtained from the Japanese. They are currently preparing for a rural cleanup operation," said Liu Xia.
Chen Chunpu was a little puzzled and looked at Cheng Qianfan.
"We followed the Shanghai Military Police Command. Because of the war, the supplies in the arsenal are not abundant," Cheng Qianfan explained.
"This is not just a matter of a shortage of 15,000." Chen Chunpu said, his expression serious, and his gaze towards Cheng Qianfan was also a little more admiring. "Last time you said you would find a way from the Japanese, but you never thought that you would get weapons and ammunition from the Military Police Headquarters."
Chen Chunpu said, "And with weapons and ammunition in short supply, this cannot be achieved simply by spending money."
He nodded, "Qianfan did a good job."
"Qianfan relies on the will of the people, and it is true that the cause has many supporters." Cheng Qianfan said, "Japanese friends know that it is contributing to the great cause of peaceful nation-building, and they are also willing to support it."
"A just cause will bring many supporters. That's a good saying." Chen Chunpu was very happy. He picked up the pen and signed quickly. "Mr. Wang's great cause of building the country peacefully has the support of 400 million Chinese people, the help of Japanese friends, and the sympathy and support of the international community. There is a bright future ahead."
He handed the signed document to Liu Xia and said, "I have some official business to attend to, so I won't keep you here any longer."
"I won't bother Director Chen anymore."
"Director Chen, you are busy."
After leaving Chen Chunpu's office, Liu Xia handed it to Cheng Qianfan to see.
Cheng Qianfan pursed his lips and smiled.
Chen Chunpu did not make up the difference of 15,000 yuan, but was approved to pay 18,000 yuan.
"These three thousand are your reward," Liu Xia said.
"Wrong, wrong, Sister Xia." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "It's us."
"Who gave you two?" Liu Xia smiled.
……
"That Secretary Pei..." Cheng Qianfan asked Liu Xia on the way back in the car.
"Pei Zhicun, he used to be a secretary in the secretary office of Dadao City Government." Liu Xia said, "A month ago, he was recommended to Director Chen as a secretary. Now it seems that Director Chen trusts him."
"The last time I accompanied the Secretary-General to visit Mr. Wang, this person seemed to be following Translator Mi." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"Pei Zhicun's mother is Japanese. I have met that lady. She is very elegant. Because she is proficient in Chinese and Japanese, she was hired as an interpreter by Ruan Guanying, the director of the Education Bureau of Dadao City Government." Liu Xia is very familiar with these complicated interpersonal relationships. She said, "Ruan Guanying and Mi Wenqin are from the same hometown."
"Now that Sister Xia mentioned that, I have some impression of this person." Cheng Qianfan said.
His father is Chinese, his mother is Japanese, and they work for the puppet regime. There are very few people with such an identity background, even in the whole of Shanghai. When Liu Xia said this, Cheng Qianfan knew this person.
Pei Zhicun was from Suzhou and came from a scholarly family. He was said to have been born in Tokyo, Japan. His father was Chinese and a top student in the law department of Meiji University in Japan; his mother was Japanese and a top student in the Tokyo College of Fine Arts.
The Pei family was a prominent family in Suzhou. Pei Zhicun's uncle once served as the governor of Zhili in the Qing Dynasty and later as the minister to Austria.
Such a talented person who came from a family of scholars and officials was willing to become a traitor. Cheng Qianfan sneered in his heart.
However, thinking of some rumors he had heard about this person, he was not surprised.
Pei Zhicun lost his father at a young age, and his mother raised him in Shanghai. Due to financial difficulties, her mother sent the young Pei Zhicun to study in Japan.
Having received education in Japan and having a Japanese mother, it seems not surprising that this kind of person is crooked at heart and is willing to become a traitor.
"Mi Wenqin is highly trusted by Mr. Wang. I heard the Secretary-General mention that after the new regime is established, Mi will most likely work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Liu Xia said, "Pei Zhicun has Mi Wenqin's help and is now appreciated by Director Chen. His future is limitless."
"Brother Fan." She said to Cheng Qianfan, "Although you are not bad, it is always good to make more friends."
"That's what Sister Xia taught me." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said with a smile, "I have always treated my friends with sincerity."
He agreed with Liu Xia's words. Pei Zhicun would be valued in the Wang Puppet Regime in the future, especially since Mi Wenqin was Wang's most trusted translator and Chen Chunpu was Mrs. Wang's absolute confidant. With these two people behind him, Pei Zhicun would indeed have a "bright future."
This person is indeed worth making friends with.
He would like to find out more about this. Although Pei Zhicun came from a family of scholars and officials, he was quite embarrassed in his youth. He hoped that this man would value money more.
……
Pei Zhicun brought in a thermos and first helped Chen Chunpu pour out the tea in the cup, and then made new tea.
Then, he helped Chen Chunpu tidy up the documents on the desk.
Then, a list of supplies caught his attention.
The firepower of the four reinforced platoons is as follows:
200 Japanese Type 38 rifles;
Forty Japanese-made Nambu-style short rifles;
forty boxes of Japanese-made hand grenades;
Two base quantities of ammunition;
There are also some medical supplies such as medical alcohol, cotton wool, hemostatic bandages, etc.
The list was signed by Cheng Qianfan and Liu Xia, with the seal of Chu Mingyu and finally the seal of Chen Chunpu.
Pei Zhicun's heart moved. These were the weapons and equipment of four reinforced platoons with full Japanese firepower, not to mention the medical supplies.
These are obviously the military supplies that the traitor Cheng Qianfan obtained for the Wang Puppet Regime. The question is what is the purpose of these supplies?
Pei Zhicun quickly cleaned up his desk, hoping to find other intelligence information in other documents and lists, but he found nothing else.
Chen Chunpu was writing at his desk. He looked up at Pei Zhicun and suddenly something occurred to him, "Secretary Pei, I remember you are from Gusu."
"Yes, Director, I am from Panmeijiaqiao, Wu County." Pei Zhicun said.
"What is your impression of Li Mingzan?" Chen Chunpu asked, "I remember that he once went to Gusu."
"Commander Li Mingzan of the First Nanjing Pacification Division?" Pei Zhicun asked.
"Exactly this person."
"I've heard about what the director said from my family. At that time, Division Commander Li was the head of a regiment under the direct warlord Sun Kewei and was stationed in Gusu." Pei Zhicun said, "I heard from my family that the soldiers led by Division Commander Li were quite brave in battle."
Chen Chunpu nodded slightly. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of Li Mingzan's troops, the comment of "dare to fight" already made him quite satisfied.
"It seems like this deal isn't a bad one," Chen Chunpu said, stroking his chin.
Pei Zhicun's heart moved.
However, he didn't need to ponder or think about it any further.
Chen Chunpu took out the list from the documents he had sorted out. He pointed at the list and said to Pei Zhicun, "Cheng Qianfan and Li Mingzan have a long history. This is a New Year gift from Cheng Qianfan to Li Mingzan."
"The First Pacification Division has already..." Pei Zhicun's face lit up with joy and he asked in a low voice.
"Not yet." Chen Chunpu shook his head slightly, "It's just a way to win over others."
He looked at Pei Zhicun, "After the New Year, I hope this matter will be spread quietly and 'accidentally'."
"I understand." Pei Zhicun nodded.
……
That afternoon.
No. 64, Shenchengli, Xiaixiansi Road, the secret base of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee.
As soon as Comrade Yi Jun returned home, the housekeeper Lan Xiaohu handed him a note.
Comrade Yi Jun's expression changed slightly when he saw the secret mark on the note.
He immediately went upstairs and took out a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms from the bookshelf.
Soon, he turned to the chapter number with that sentence:
Zhuge Liang disguises himself as a god when he leaves Longshan, and Zhang He falls into a trap when he rushes to Jiange - Chapter 101.
After one hundred, subtract fifteen, and before one hundred, add fifteen... Urgent warning!
……
An hour later, Comrade Yi Jun appeared at Zhou Hexuan Teahouse at No. 86 Yabo Road.
He was holding a walking stick in his hand and had a warm smile on his face. He glanced at the tea drinkers and went straight up to the second floor.
Room No. 3, Qianzi.
Comrade Yi Jun waited for about three minutes, and then there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Sir, the Lu'an Guapian you requested."
Comrade Yi Jun opened the door and said with a smile, "Well, you finally remembered to pay me back the melon slices you owed me last time."
The two looked at each other, entered the room, and closed the door behind them.
The visitor handed the bamboo jar to Comrade Yi Jun, "Liu'an Guapian."
Since you said to bring Lu'an Guapian, you must bring it.
Sometimes you can make up a secret code at random, but sometimes you need to pay special attention to it, especially this kind of secret code for contact.
"The way you old comrades from the Special Operations Department do things is reassuring." Comrade Yi Jun nodded and said.
Compared with the young people who joined the organization after the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, each of these "old comrades" who came through the Special Operations Group period is a "smart person".
This is not a derogatory term. Only those who can survive such a difficult and cruel struggle environment have the opportunity to become "human elite".
"How is your new job going?" asked Comrade Yi Jun.
This is his biggest concern.
"Thanks to Mi Wenqin, Chen Chunpu treated me well." The man smiled and said, "Of course, my work ability is also OK."
