Lost and Spy

Chapter 2541 Two Chiefs
"Captain Qu, who the hell is it? He said on the phone that he couldn't do it, and asked you to come to me."

Lai Gang, Director of the Security Department of Guangxi Province, who was reviewing documents, asked with a strong Cantonese accent.

"Aren't I afraid that I won't be able to explain clearly on the phone?"

Qu Sili closed the door, found a stool and sat down:

"I'm not going to hide it from you, it's not a businessman, but a big man has come to see you."

"I knew it wasn't a businessman." Lai Gang put down his pen, "That's right, why?"

Qu Sili said mysteriously: "This man, Meng Shaoyuan, have you heard of it?"

"Who is that? Meng Shaoyuan?" Lai Gang frowned: "I remember, the military commander?"

"Yes, it's him."

"I'm a big man, just a small spy." Lai Gang dismissed it: "Even they Dai Li, they have to be polite when they see me. What is he?"

"Director Lai, don't worry, just listen to me."

Qu Sili continued: "I don't know if you have heard of it, but Miss Kong has a very close relationship with him."

Lai Gang nodded: "I heard that they knew each other when they were in Nanjing, and they seem to have a good relationship."

Qu Sili got closer and said quietly: "I have some news here. Every time the eldest lady doesn't call Meng Shaoyuan by his name directly, but calls him, this rascal, a stinking rascal."

"really?"

"Exactly!"

Rai was silent.

This rogue, smelly rogue, sounds like a curse, but most of the time it is not.

Especially, when a woman says these words to a man, the meaning is far-reaching.

"Meng Shaoyuan didn't say anything, what would he do when he sees me?" Lai Gang finally asked.

"No, I just said that there is a top-secret situation related to Team Leader Wan. Moreover, he repeatedly told you to keep it secret, and you must not let Team Leader Wan know about it. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will hinder your future."

Hinder your own future?
Lai Gang thought about it for a while: "You go right away and arrange to meet at my house on Yinxiu Road in three hours."

"Yes."

Qu Sili hurriedly got up and left.

The reason why Lai Gang agreed to meet Meng Shaoyuan was because he wanted to know what was going on that would hinder his future.

Secondly, he himself is a sycophant.

The trick of being a sycophant is that you may not have the opportunity to please a certain big shot, but you must not offend this big shot.

Since the relationship between Meng Shaoyuan and the eldest lady is extraordinary, no matter what, since he came to Guilin, he still wanted to meet.

……

Lai Gang owns several properties in Guilin.

Yinxiu Road is just one of them.

Arranging to meet here can not only increase the confidentiality, but also make the two parties appear affectionate.

We all met at home.

This is also what Lai Gang has carefully considered.

When he met Meng Shaoyuan for the first time, although he had some mental preparations, he never thought that this legendary agent of the Military Command Bureau would be so young.

When the two met for the first time, it was nothing more than a polite greeting.

For the sake of the young lady, Lai Gang was quite polite to Meng Shaoyuan.

After chatting for a while, Lai Gang gradually brought the topic to the main topic: "Director Meng came all the way to Guilin, and he is so eager to see me. I guess he has some advice for you."

"In front of Director Lai, how dare you talk about the word "advising?" Meng Shaoyuan said modestly: "Director Lai is the director, and although I am also the director, I am not the same as Director Lai.

You must stop calling me Director Meng, otherwise people will think we are equals.You can call me Xiaomeng or Shaoyuan. "

Being so low-key made Lai Gang very fond of him: "Okay, okay, I'll just stick to it. Calling you Xiaomeng also makes us feel closer."

"That's right, Director Lai." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Since Director Lai asks, I won't go around the bush. Director Lai, do you still remember the Lin Shiliang smuggling case?"

Lai Gang nodded slightly.

This kind of big case happened not long ago, how could he not remember Lai Gang?
Lin Shiliang is Kong Xiangxi's man, he has won the trust of Kong Xiangxi, and holds great power.

This person smuggled wantonly and was finally seized by Dai Li.

Originally, he was only sentenced to life imprisonment, but there was an order from above, the death penalty!

So just a few months ago, Lin Shiliang was executed.

Later, Dai Li was removed from the post of director of the anti-smuggling department, probably because the higher-ups wanted to protect Kong Xiangxi's face.

However, this incident caused a great shock within the Kuomintang.

Even Lin Shiliang was killed, who else can't be killed?

As soon as he heard about Lin Shiliang, Lai Gang immediately paid attention.

"Although Lin Shiliang was executed by shooting, the trend of smuggling has not been restrained at all." Meng Shaoyuan looked solemn:

"It has become a common phenomenon for various group armies and war zones to cover up smuggling and trafficking in Japanese goods. In the northwest, the national army sheltered traitor merchants, bought furs in Yulin and other places and smuggled them to the Japanese army, and got a commission from them.

The Hubei National Army set up checkpoints on both sides of the Yangtze River, called inspections, which actually plucked feathers from smuggled goods: grain smuggled from south to north to the occupied areas was pumped at 3-5 yuan per load, and cotton was 20-30 yuan per load. 50 yuan, [-] yuan per barrel of tung oil.

Japanese goods smuggled from the enemy-occupied areas from the north to the south to the Kuomintang-controlled areas, soap for 15 yuan per box, and cigarettes for 5 yuan per carton. Do you think the government really doesn’t know about these?Are you really blind? "

Lai Gang didn't say anything, he guessed that something serious might happen, he just listened to Meng Shaoyuan's words:
"It's still small, and now in some places, it's almost lawless. The Pacific War broke out, the US military had the upper hand, and there was a serious shortage of Japanese supplies.

A large number of Japanese cargo ships were sunk. In order to make up for the lost tonnage, the Japanese army set up wooden boat manufacturing factories in Shantou, Xiamen, Mount Putuo and other places to build flat-bottomed sailboats on a large scale.

The high-quality wood for making large sailboats is mainly in the rear. The Japanese army decided to take out the stored cotton cloth and use it to barter to lure and buy the wood in the rear.After the U.S. Navy received this information, it asked the government to immediately ban the outflow of timber.

However, our national army chiefs don't follow the Yankees' tricks: cotton cloth is a scarce commodity in the rear, and smuggling it in can make you several times immediately.

The national army began to forcibly requisition or purchase timber in the defense area at a low price, and the local government office handed it over to gangs, sold it to traitor merchants, and the merchants passed on to the Japanese army, who then paid the merchants with cotton cloth.

In this way, the national army, local government offices, gangs, profiteers, and the Japanese army formed a complete closed loop of the industrial chain.

In Jing County, AH, the local garrison smuggled more than 600 large fir trees to the Japanese and puppet troops at one time. In the section of Qingge River and Qinchuan River alone, the garrison smuggled more than 4 large logs within a few months, and these garrisons themselves Even those responsible for the blockade along the river are the only ones who can smuggle large logs in such a big way, guarding against themselves and stealing themselves, of course they are handy. "

Speaking of this, there was a slight pause, and Meng Shaoyuan's tone suddenly became severe:

"What about Guangxi? Director Lai, is the smuggling situation in Guangxi also the same?"
