The Bravest

Since Lin Jie came to this world, he has never had anyone he can trust, including Ye Wulian herself who has concealed something. Ma Laosan and Chen Kai Lin Jie also believed that they were sent by the Military Control Commission to monitor him. When asked about Ye Wulian, she neither denied nor confirmed. So Lin Jie wanted to have someone he could trust before finding the organization, so he could only train himself. As for his beloved female agent of the Military Control Commission, Lin Jie still had a fantasy, which was to change her mind and pull her to our party. Could it be that the Military Control Commission could only use the beauty record, and Lin Jie was not allowed to use the warm-hearted uncle's trick to coax the little girl.

In fact, Lin Jie not only wanted to train these three children, but also had another idea in his mind, which he had been thinking about for a long time. He even made a detailed plan during his recovery period. The reason he never started was that failure was not a big deal. What he feared the most was that if he succeeded, he would be used by the Japanese. Then he would not only be a traitor, but also become a sinner for all eternity.

Yesterday, in order to find these three children, I rode my bicycle for most of the day. The scene I saw touched Lin Jie's heart again. Many little beggars were wandering on the streets begging. But in troubled times, it was already difficult for ordinary people to survive, so who would care about other people's children? The damn Japanese launched a war to make the already impoverished Chinese survive even more. Starving to death is very common in this world. Lin Jie has always wanted to do something for the country, but he has no great ability and is afraid of death. But watching helplessly, he felt uneasy. Finally, he decided to modify the plan and do a small job first, and help as much as possible.

It only took one day for Lin Jie to revise a plan that he was more satisfied with, which he called "the future". After another night of arguing with Ye Wulian, Lin Jie hoped that the Military Control Commission would support him, but Ye Wulian bluntly said that the Military Control Commission would not support Lin Jie's plan that would take an unknown period of time to take effect. The Military Control Commission would not give up the role that Lin Jie was playing now and come up with a plan with an unknown future to distract Lin Jie's attention. In response to Lin Jie's insistence, Ye Wulian promised to report to the superiors and try her best to fight for it.

In fact, Ye Wulian hopes that our party can participate in Lin Jie's plan. Only in this way can we ensure that this dangerous plan will not get out of control in the end. Once it gets out of control, Lin Jie will become a real traitor, and in the eyes of others, he will be more hateful than Li Shiqun.

Two days later, Lin Jie received a reply from the Military Control Commission from Ye Wulian, "Neither support nor opposition." This was the best result they could get. The Military Control Commission hoped that Lin Jie could seek a higher-level position at No. 76, and was even planning the (letter of surrender) plan reported by Xi Shi. The Military Control Commission was afraid that if they pushed Lin Jie too hard, it would be counterproductive if he slacked off, so they made concessions. This was the instruction of Boss Dai, and no further debate was allowed. In order to appease Lin Jie, the Military Control Commission awarded Lin Jie the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. This department kept a secret record.

As for reporting to Yan'an, Ye Wulian was very cautious, because after she sacrificed herself on the line, she could not prove her identity, and Yan'an only knew the code name of Gu Yan. It can be said that Gu Yan was an out-of-control person. According to the security regulations of the special front, she has the possibility of betrayal, even if this possibility is only one in a million. For safety, the intelligence she reported must be verified by many parties and judged by the superiors. Once the intelligence is wrong and causes serious losses to our side, then the superiors will judge that she has betrayed and the information she conveyed is false. This is the cruelty of the special front. And Ye Wulian will not say that she is Gu Yan if she cannot prove it. You must know that this is a special front where you are in me and I am in you. One careless move will lead to eternal damnation. The first element of an agent is to ensure his own safety.

Therefore, Ye Wulian's only solution is to provide real and effective intelligence for a long time to prove that he has not betrayed. Losing the trust of the organization is the reason why Ye Wulian is under too much mental pressure and has stress disorder.

However, Ye Wulian could understand the above approach, which was the normal procedure of the special front. Therefore, the intelligence reported must be accurate to avoid misunderstandings. So Ye Wulian had to wait until Lin Jie's plan began and there was a possibility of success before reporting it.

In fact, the arrangement of Ma Laosan and Chen Kai was also a test of Gu Yan by Yan'an, which was very risky. As a result, Yan'an is still satisfied so far.

Lin Jie's original plan was very ambitious. He wanted to persuade the Japanese through Gangcun, and Lin Jie would come forward to gather the orphans of Shanghai to open a (semi-military) school. The reason was that it could show the kindness of the Japanese and promote the example of Sino-Japanese friendship to the European and American countries and Chinese in the lease. It could also train reserve forces for the Imperial Army. Lin Jie even thought about the source of funds for the Japanese. In the name of charity, he would raise funds from the big traitors and rich people in the Japanese-occupied areas. I believe they would not dare not give it. If he wanted to ask for help from the hypocritical European and American gentlemen, the gentleman's face should also be a point. This idea is perfect and naive. As long as the thoughts of the young people can be controlled, even if they become the Imperial Army, they can revolt on the battlefield. Lin Jie felt that he was crazy. Without the powerful political commissar system of our party, how could he control the army? Besides, are the Japanese so stupid that they will not intervene? .

After thinking it was impossible, Lin Jie modified his plan and decided to build an orphanage with a small scale of about one or two hundred people. He would not need the Japanese to pay for it. He should be able to convince the Japanese with just a banner and they would not take it seriously. If the Military Control Commission was willing to support him, he would still have a chance to control an orphanage and use it as a base for training potential military control personnel. However, even if he succeeded, it would take a long time to be effective. As expected, the Military Control Commission was unwilling to support it. Although they did not object, they were not optimistic that Lin Jie could convince the Japanese.

In order to save even a small number of orphans, Lin Jie was unwilling to give up, and had to discuss with Ye Wulian for a long time before coming up with a plan that was more likely to be realized. Whether it would succeed or not, it would all depend on God's will.

On this day, Lin Jie waited at the entrance of the gendarmerie headquarters for the whole morning, and finally waited for Gangcun to arrive when it was almost lunch time.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you ask Ono-kun for my phone number instead of waiting for me here? Is there something important?" Gangcun still has some good feelings towards his junior.

"Mr. Gangcun, are you free this afternoon? I have something important to ask you, and it's also related to Mr. Gangcun, so of course it's a good thing." Lin Jie pretended to be very anxious.

"Oh, what good news? Can you tell me now?" Gangcun was interested. Could it be that Lin Jie had found a way to make money again and asked him to come forward? In Gangcun's eyes, Lin Jie was a very greedy person, although he was also loyal.

"Mr. Gangcun, I can't explain it right now. This is not the place to talk. I have made a plan. I need to find a quiet place to explain it clearly. Do you have time? I'll treat you. Or if it's convenient, we can go to your place." Gangcun was scared last time. Now that the Military Control Commission and No. 76 are fighting so fiercely, he may not dare to go out alone with Lin Jie. So Lin Jie later suggested going to his house.

"Is that so? Okay. I've just finished my work today and have nothing to do in the afternoon. I'll ask for half a day off. You go back first and bring Miss Ye with you. Come to my house at five o'clock. My wife makes great beef patties. You'll have a treat." Gangcun was also very enthusiastic. His wife came from Japan and didn't have many friends. It was too boring to stay at home all day, which was not good for her health. It was just right to call Miss Ye to make friends. We can go out together in the future and get to know some people. This way, she wouldn't be depressed. She always complained that she was too busy at work recently and had no time to accompany her.

"Then it's settled. I'm leaving first." Lin Jie turned and left. Suddenly, he remembered that Li Shiqun was invited home by a colonel or a major from the Special High Section named Gangcun in 1943, and then he was poisoned to death by eating half a beef patty. No way, it shouldn't be, oh, I think too much, a small person, not even enough to pay for the poison. What are you afraid of?

At 4:50, Lin Jie and Ye Wulian knocked on Gangcun's door carrying gifts.

"I'm here. Who is it?" A voice in Japanese came from inside the door.

Lin Jie replied in Japanese, "Hello, I'm Lin Jie, and I made an appointment with Gangcun-kun."

The door creaked open.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Gangcun's wife, my name is Mei Zi, please come in, Gangcun is waiting for you," Mei Zi greeted in stiff Chinese.

"Hello, Mrs. Gangcun, let me introduce you, this is my wife Ye Wulian, thank you for your welcome."

"Hello, Mrs. Gangcun," Ye Wulian replied politely.

"Mrs. Lin, please come in." Meizi was very welcoming. It might be a rare occasion for someone to come visit.

After entering the living room, they exchanged polite words and had dinner together. Gangcun wanted to get to the point: "Mr. Lin, let's go to the study to talk. Meizi, you show Mrs. Lin around."

……

"Mr. Gangcun, this is the plan I made. Take a look at it first, and then we can discuss the feasibility of the plan." After entering the study and sitting on the sofa, Lin Jie didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

The plan was quite thick, and Gangcun read it very slowly, spending a full twenty minutes reading it before putting it down and slowly making tea. Lin Jie was no longer in a hurry, and it seemed that Gangcun must be interested.

"Mr. Lin, besides you being the chief instructor and me being the chief consultant, do you have any ideas for other instructors and consultants?" Gangcun needed to know the details of the plan.

"Mr. Gangcun, this can only be decided after the scale of the orphanage is determined. The principle I propose is that there will be Chinese instructors, and a small number of gendarmes who can speak Chinese will be arranged to serve as consultants for supervision. The daily life will still be taken care of by the Chinese. After all, it is carried out in the name of charity, not a concentration camp. Surface work is very important. You see, the follow-up arrangement is that if it is effective, the scale will be expanded, and a board of directors will be established at the upper level to increase the intensity of publicity, and even report to the headquarters for promotion in various occupied areas. And we will be a demonstration unit here. Mr. Gangcun, if you can serve as a director of the board of directors, or even the general director, you will not be a simple soldier. It will be your first step into becoming a politician. After all, war will end one day." Lin Jie became more and more excited as he spoke, and picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

"Politician," Gangcun repeated, his eyes becoming eager, "Mr. Lin, can you tell me in detail what this board of directors is about?" Gangcun didn't care about how the orphanage cultivated talents. He cared about how to get involved with politicians.

"Gangcun, our orphanage is under the banner of charity and Sino-Japanese friendship, which is related to diplomacy, strategy and the demonstration effect after success. These have a significant political impact. As a member of the board of directors, do you have political influence? This is not easy even for a general. Especially after the war, will the status of soldiers still be as important as it is now?"

"Well, Mr. Lin is right. By the way, you won't cause trouble for no reason if you don't have any benefit. Tell me what your intention is. If you don't make it clear, I won't agree. Don't even think about me handing the plan to General Doihara for you. To be honest," Gangcun's tone was as if he and Lin Jie were old friends for many years. However, it also proved that although he was persuaded, he had not lost himself because of Lin Jie's big cake. He still had to figure out Lin Jie's purpose. If a person says that he does something without purpose, then be careful, unless that person is a saint. Obviously, Lin Jie is not a saint.

"Mr. Gangcun, didn't Mr. Ono tell you about my current situation?" Lin Jie asked with an annoyed look on his face.

"I heard that. What does this have to do with this plan?"

"This is a big deal, Mr. Gangcun. Please listen to me in detail. You know that I am a little afraid of death and a little greedy for money. I am in a situation now where I have no one to rely on, no one to back me up, and no way to make money. You have been transferred to the gendarmerie headquarters. What should I do? How can I support my wife? I have to find a way out, right?" Lin Jie looked at Gangcun, as if he wanted Gangcun to give him an answer.

"Well, Lin-san's current situation is not very good. So what's the way forward for this plan?"

"Gangcun-kun, at first I wanted to find some help from outside. I mentioned this to Ono-kun, but it's not that easy to find. They are either gangsters or unwilling to enter No. 76 because of its bad reputation. I had no choice but to find three kids. They are very smart. Bring them to Gangcun-kun one day and you'll see. This is not nonsense. As long as those kids have a place to live and enough food to eat, they will work hard for you."

"and then?"

"Then I thought, now that we have people, we need time and place to train them. We can't be like those gangsters in the action team. The situation in Shanghai can't always be the same as it is now. You stab me today and I shoot you tomorrow. Mr. Gangcun, you should understand the headquarters now. So No. 76 must change in the future. How to change it? We still need a professional police station and gendarmerie system. So, I found a way out, which is to open a special training camp for police officers, and then upgrade it to a police academy after it is done. If there are good results and the gendarmerie headquarters is willing to support me, I may be the principal in the future. Mr. Gangcun, you will definitely support me at that time. With the support of you as the general director, the position of principal will belong to me." Lin Jie looked as if he was already the principal.

Seeing that Lin Jie was so obsessed with his plan, Gangcun patted Lin Jie on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Lin, stop getting carried away and let's get down to business. Why an orphanage? Can't it be something else? For example, opening a school."

"It's not possible to run a school. That's the Ministry of Education's business. It's not our turn to intervene. I haven't thought about anything else. And, Mr. Gangcun, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm Chinese after all. It's not easy to see those lonely children. But it's not like this every time a dynasty changes. It was the same during your Japanese Meiji Restoration. I'm not talking nonsense. If it succeeds, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." Lin Jie looked a little depressed. It was Lin Jie's true feelings that made Gangcun believe a little more. Moreover, raising some orphans without the Japanese paying for it and gaining political influence for free, it's hard to see what Lin Jie has any conspiracy. It should be said that Commander Doihara. The most important thing is that this director is determined to win.

"Mr. Lin, I will submit this plan to Commander Doihara for you. It depends on what the commander thinks. You should also be prepared for an audience with the commander. I will speak for you. It's getting late, so go back first. When you have time, let Mrs. Lin come to talk to Mei Zi more."

Lin Jie slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot, Gangcun-kun, here is some advice on how to run the council. Please stay and take a look. I won't bother you anymore. I'll wait for your good news."
