The Bravest

On the evening of the day that Lao Zhou sent the telegram, Mao Renfeng, the chief secretary of the Military Control Commission, was alone in his office, translating the telegram using a specific code book.

The telegram was very long, containing detailed information about five Americans and five British people. Mao Renfeng checked it repeatedly to confirm that it was correct before he was willing to stretch his body.

This telegram was not intelligence, but it was an important part of the plan that Boss Dai attached great importance to, so Mao Renfeng, who had always been cautious, did not dare to make any omissions.

After converting the secret code into text, Mao Renfeng read it carefully twice, and then found the list originally drawn up by Lin Jie from the safe. After comparing the two lists one by one, he found that there were six people who overlapped. It seems that the work done in advance was not in vain.

Mao Renfeng could already imagine the praise from Boss Dai. The original instructions given to Lin Jie were just to deal with some people who were causing problems for the Military Control Commission. Unexpectedly, Boss Dai took a different approach and changed the unreasonable request of some people to contact the British and Americans in advance and ask the Military Control Commission's undercover personnel to contact the Europeans and Americans detained in concentration camps into a diplomatic means to carry out the operation and obtained the support of the leader.

What Mao Renfeng did not expect was that Lin Jie would act so quickly and had achieved certain results. Handwritten letters and photos from ten British and American people of certain status would soon be sent back to Chongqing.

At that time, Mr. Dai will present these letters and photos to the leader, and show the British and Americans that our military secret agents are doing their best to protect the British and American personnel in the concentration camps, and will even launch rescue operations if necessary in the future. This will be another way for the National Government to convey China's goodwill to Britain and the United States, in addition to sending an expeditionary force, and it will be a good diplomatic bargaining chip.

After reading all the information again, Mao Renfeng began to organize the language to be used in the meeting with Boss Dai tomorrow. He did not dare to say how strong his ability was, but he knew that working in the Military Control Commission required strictness and rigor, whether it was external or internal, and no negligence, even the smallest, could be allowed.

Mao Renfeng didn't sort out everything until four in the morning and memorized it all. There were still a few hours before Boss Dai was to start work, so Mao Renfeng picked up the phone and talked to the secretary on duty before going into the rest room at the back to take a quick rest.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Mao Renfeng was taken to one of Boss Dai's secret offices on time. This was an appointment he had made with Boss Dai an hour in advance.

"Boss, the Xishi team called and the plan has been launched. The first batch of ten people's handwritten letters and photos will be sent back to Chongqing through the evacuation procedure. According to the professor's report, my son-in-law has already made connections and can expand the scale at any time, but there is not enough money at the moment, so we need to wait. This is the specific list and detailed information, and there are six people who overlap with the original report."

Mao Renfeng handed the information to Boss Dai with both hands and gave a brief and concise report.

"Well, let me take a look. Qi Wu, please sit down." Boss Dai took the information calmly and motioned Mao Renfeng to sit down and wait.

"Yes." Mao Renfeng stood at attention for a moment, then sat down and waited patiently.

Boss Dai had a calm expression, but he looked at the documents very seriously and asked Mao Renfeng questions from time to time. Half an hour later, Boss Dai put the documents down.

"Qi Wu, when will the letters and photos arrive in Chongqing?"

"Boss, the professor's report is to start the evacuation procedure set by their team. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be over in 20 days."

"Well, the professor is very politically sensitive and knows that time is running out. Although the cost is a bit high, it is still worth it. If the safe evacuation route is not exposed, it can still be used. As soon as the letter and photos arrive, the diplomatic process can be started immediately, which is beneficial for obtaining more aid. The leader also attaches great importance to it. Qi Wu did a good job this time."

"Boss, this is all thanks to the efforts of my colleagues on the front line. I dare not take credit for it." Mao Renfeng answered seriously. He disdains to do things that would take credit for others' work. Boss Dai would not let anyone do this, otherwise he would not be able to lead the military organization with more than 10,000 people. Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be severely punished. This is Boss Dai's creed.

"Well, the soldiers in the front are fighting hard, and the cooperation in the rear is also very important. Qi Wu doesn't need to underestimate himself!" Boss Dai once again recognized Mao Renfeng's work, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.

"Yes." Mao Renfeng stood up and stood at attention to show respect.

"Sit down and talk. Qi Wu, the follow-up work needs to be kept up, the dedicated channel must be opened as soon as possible as a backup, and the funds must also be delivered as soon as possible." Boss Dai gave further instructions.

"Boss, will the implementation of the rescue plan affect the execution of the original plan? Once something goes wrong, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Please think twice." Mao Renfeng rarely agreed with Boss Dai's opinion.

"Haha, this is the real Qi Wu. It's not what the outside world says. Mao Renfeng is just a yes-man for Dai Li. Those people underestimated you and the elites of our Military Control Commission."

"Hehe, boss, there are no softies in our Military Control Commission. It doesn't matter if you underestimate me, but you must never underestimate our colleagues who are fighting for their lives on the front line." Mao Renfeng's gritting his teeth amused the usually calm Boss Dai.

"Qi Wu, don't bother with those people who only know how to talk. We only need to be responsible to the leader."

"Boss, about the rescue plan..."

"Don't worry. I'm not as eager for quick success as others say. I'm just making a plan just in case. Call the professor back and tell him that the special team from headquarters will arrive soon. There's no need to contact him directly. All actions of the special team should be coordinated with him. Also, tell the professor to tell his son-in-law to stick to a single mission and not to get involved."

"Boss, my son-in-law has a lot of energy. Wouldn't it be a waste to keep him on a single mission?" Mao Renfeng asked tentatively.

"Qi Wu, you have to be more generous. Victory is just around the corner. Your son-in-law's mission will still be useful even after victory. Political influence is far more important than one or two small battles."

"Yes, I understand." After getting Boss Dai's confirmation again, Mao Renfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he couldn't figure it out, but Mao Renfeng was worried that Boss Dai was suspicious.

"Well, I understand. Qi Wu, the lives of our military elites are also very valuable. We should leave the dangerous things to those traitors who are looking for a way out. How can you expect to surrender to us without submitting your credentials? How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

The reason why Boss Dai was so generous and did not exploit Lin Jie's energy was mainly because the balance of the war had tilted, and the Allied counterattacks were victorious. Everyone knew that once Germany fell, the next to be besieged would be the Japanese. Therefore, many traitors of the Wang Puppet Government had taken the initiative to contact the Military Control Commission and began to pave the way for themselves. Boss Dai would of course take the opportunity to use these traitors who wanted to surrender and let them help the Military Control Commission to do things to show their sincerity.

"Boss, I understand. These fence-sitters can really do something."

"Well, we welcome all those who can help us now. As for how to deal with them in the future, we have to wait until the situation stabilizes. You know what I mean." Boss Dai meant that anyone who sincerely surrenders is welcome. The old scores will not be taken into account for the time being, and it will not be too late to settle them after the Japanese are driven away.

"Understood. I will strictly carry it out." Mao Renfeng was secretly excited by Boss Dai's intention to settle the score later. Now a large number of traitors were about to surrender, and Mao Renfeng was also worried that the government would let bygones be bygones. Now it seems that Boss Dai had already made up his mind, and he would definitely not forgive those scums who had betrayed the country and the nation.
