Lost and Spy

Chapter 833
"Director Meng, the spring breeze is proud."

"Where is it, District Chief Zhou is the one with a red face. Oh, look, Secretary Cheng is here."

On September 1938, 9, the elite Song Xilian of the national army fought fiercely with the Japanese army in the Dabie Mountains.

On the same day, a high-level meeting of the Shanghai Navy was held.

This meeting was to discuss Shanghai's response to the establishment of the Military Control Bureau.

Shanghai is the top priority of the Military Control Bureau, and Dai Li attaches great importance to it. For this reason, he specially sent his secretary Chen Shixian to Shanghai to preside over the meeting.

Those who participated in the meeting were the famous three giants of the Shanghai Navy in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War:

Zhou Weilong, Cheng Yiming, Meng Shaoyuan!

When these three people meet, they should be as affectionate as they are, and as harmonious as they are. You praise me one by one, and I praise you.I said that your Secretary Zhou commanded well, he said that I, Director Meng, acted quickly, and you said that Secretary Cheng was steady and mature.

All in all, there is harmony, and there is no contradiction in it.

But if you really want to be able to see through the truth of what the other party is thinking, they will wish to drive you out of Shanghai immediately and take over the power.

Especially Meng Shaoyuan, who hated these two people to the bone, he thought about the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and only wanted to stabilize the internal situation, so he let them go everywhere.

But these two people are good, and they have to report to Dai Li several times a month for their black complaints.

I fought my life with the Japanese on the front line, but I got stabbed first in the back.

That's fine, since you're not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

wanna play?

Everyone bayonet see red on the chant.

Your young master Meng and I are not afraid of the Japanese, how can we be afraid of you?

This time, Meng Shaoyuan already sensed an opportunity.

"Secretary Chen is here."

The Big Three immediately greeted them.

Just from the position of walking, one can see some clues.

As soon as they saw Chen Shixian coming in, Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming immediately stood up and walked in front.

Chen Shixian is the imperial envoy sent by Director Dai.

Whoever can shake his hand first will be able to prove his status in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan stood up unhurriedly and followed behind them.

Well, Cheng Yiming has changed a lot.

He came from the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and he knew that he had a special status, so he had always been very tolerant. Even if he was demoted to Suzhou at that time, he still had no complaints and no regrets, and worked hard.

In the end, his diligence, hard work, and the help of the forces behind him finally allowed him to return to his post.

However, with Shanghai becoming an isolated island and the further deepening of the Anti-Japanese War, he began to slowly reveal his true face and was no longer satisfied with his current status.

People are like that.

If Shanghai is still in the hands of the Nationalist government, Cheng Yiming will still be the tolerant and dedicated Secretary Cheng.Zhou Weilong is still the District Chief Zhou who, although he is old and arrogant with his qualifications, can still put the overall situation first.

But Shanghai fell, and the national government withdrew to Chongqing. Most of the things were handled by them independently.

Here, I have the final say, and I alone have the final say.

As long as I remain loyal to Mr. Dai, it's no big deal to monopolize the power.

For the four words of "monopolizing power", how many people racked their brains to exclude their colleagues and drive away those who might pose a threat to them?

Since Meng Shaoyuan was born in Shanghai, he has made many military exploits and gained Dai Li's trust more and more, which has seriously threatened the status of Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming.

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan must go!

These are all things that Meng Shaoyuan knows very well.

However, no matter how clever Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming were, they still overlooked one thing. Although Shanghai fell, the military command was still Dai Li's military command.

No one can drive away someone he believes to be trustworthy.

"District Chief Zhou, Secretary Cheng, you have worked hard." Chen Shixian smiled and shook hands with them: "The Military Control Bureau is officially established. On behalf of Director He, Director Dai pays tribute to you heroes who are fighting on the front line."

"Thank you Director He, thank you Director Dai, and thank you Secretary Chen."

Chen Shixian's eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan who was standing behind them, and he smiled meaningfully: "Director Meng, I almost didn't notice you standing behind you."

"Secretary Chen." Meng Shaoyuan stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Shixian: "The work in Shanghai is directed by District Chief Zhou and Secretary Cheng. Of course, I, a little director, can only take the second place."

"I said, when did Director Meng become so polite?" Zhou Weilong looked like an old senior admiring the younger generation: "In Shanghai, who doesn't know Meng Shaoyuan? In the entire Shanghai intelligence agency, who doesn't know the strongest agent on the surface? Besides, You brother Meng is the Chief of the Operations Section of our Military Control Bureau, and we have to ask you for instructions on particularly important operations."

"District Chief Zhou, you are slapping me."

Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "What am I in front of your District Chief Zhou? It's not worth mentioning. Who can compare to your District Chief Zhou in terms of meritorious service and seniority?"

Zhou Weilong didn't know the difference.

Chen Shixian had a smile on his face, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.

What Meng Shaoyuan said just now were all flattery words. It stands to reason that Zhou Weilong should be humble, but he said no at all, but accepted it calmly.

Who can compare to you, District Chief Zhou?
Where's Director Dai?

Before coming here, Director Dai had talked to himself. The general meaning was that Zhou Weilong had made great contributions in the early days of the revolution, and he was also the great benefactor of Director Dai. of.

It's just that in these years, Zhou Weilong took credit for his pride, and the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu didn't pay attention to him.Last time, the funds remitted by the headquarters were a few days late, but Zhou Weilong sent a telegram directly to Dai Li and became furious.

It was not until Dai Li personally ordered the immediate allocation of funds that the matter was settled.

"After the establishment of our Military Control Bureau, the monthly funding of [-] yuan is stretched, and we have to rely on trying to maintain it." Dai Li said that day: "In some places, try to find ways to raise funds on their own, and in some places, They keep reaching out to us, and they don't understand our difficulties at all, but we have to give them the money.

Shanghai is a world of flamboyance, and the cost is high, I can understand all these.There are a total of three people in Shanghai who are in charge. Zhou Weilong’s money can’t be late for a day. How much income his own property can bring him has never been reported or handed over. Of course, I don’t like it when he does this. say what.

As for Cheng Yiming, the funds arrived a few days late, maybe a few days late. There are not many direct complaints, but I heard that he often said to his subordinates, "There is no way, who told us to be raised by stepmothers, so we tightened our belts." Let's live. 'Who is the stepmother?Me, or the headquarters?I treat everyone equally, so how can we divide each other?
The last one is Meng Shaoyuan.Everyone knows that I am partial to him, why?From the point of view of funds alone, I have never allocated funds to him, and he just pretends that there is no such thing as funds. On the contrary, I have to ask him for money every now and then.He worked hard to help me run the company. Where did the profits of those companies go?It is used to supplement various departments of our military command!Otherwise, where will our money be enough?If I don't favor him, all the important officials in those places will starve to death! "

These Chen Shixians all know that under the command of Dai Li, Juntong began to build a smuggling empire, and the first batch of elders of this empire was Meng Shaoyuan:
"Mr. Dai, I've heard that Meng Shaoyuan's life in Shanghai is very luxurious, and I'm afraid he has a lot of money from the company."

"You pretend I don't know about this?" Dai Li said lightly, "A fine BMW horse travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights. You must feed him, right? You want him to help make money, but you also want him to stop Black money can’t do it. Money can’t buy loyalty, but money can make people feel steadfast and motivated to do things for you.”

Being able to be Dai Li's third secretary, ranked only below Zheng Jiemin and Mao Renfeng, Chen Shixian is of course good at understanding Mr. Dai's mind.

His attitude towards the Shanghai Big Three is clear at a glance.

At this time, the Big Three were standing in front of him, and Chen Shixian watched them boasting to each other there: "Okay, everyone, please take a seat."

Once he sat down, Cheng Yiming immediately said: "The battle in Wuhan is in full swing, and Secretary Chen came from Wuhan. It has been a hard journey."

"It's nothing compared to the soldiers on the front line who are fighting bloody battles." Chen Shixian said politely: "Even in Shanghai, District Chief Zhou, Secretary Cheng, and Director Meng are all fighting the Japanese with their heads up. , what else can I count?"

After finishing speaking, his face straightened: "We have finished our polite words, and now we are conveying the order of Director Dai. The battle in Wuhan is a battle for the life and death of the Chinese nation, and no mistakes are allowed. Our military agents all over the country need to act urgently to detect the enemy's intelligence , destroy the enemy's transportation hub, and launch armed struggle behind the enemy, so that the Japanese pirates cannot rest for a day.

In northern Jiangsu, Han Deqin's troops once invaded Xuzhou and provided great help to Wuhan's frontal battlefield.Among them, our military unification staff contributed a lot.In Shanghai, as the focus of our military unification work, Japan established a special committee on China and set up a new spy command organization in Shanghai to control Shanghai. The heart of destroying China is clearly revealed.

Command the military commander Zhou Weilong, secretary Cheng Yiming, and director of the special inspectorate's office Meng Shaoyuan to destroy the so-called Doihara organs at all costs, wipe out the Japanese pirates, and ruthlessly eradicate traitors.And at the same time look for opportunities, take the initiative to attack, and control Shanghai! "

"Yes!"

The three of Meng Shaoyuan stood up at the same time and replied loudly.

"Okay, please sit down, please sit down." Chen Shixian returned to normal: "The above is Director Dai's password, everyone must remember. District Chief Zhou, Secretary Cheng, Director Meng, please start reporting work."

Starting from Zhou Weilong, the three reported to work one by one.

Meng Shaoyuan listened carefully there, but his mind raced rapidly. If he had only conveyed these instructions, Dai Li would not have sent Chen Shixian to risk himself to Shanghai.

I'm afraid, is there something else?
