Pretenders are unattainable

On a sunny afternoon, Minglou and Mingcheng called Mingtai into the study when Manli took a lunch break and Mingjing took Axiang out to prepare for the new year.In the past few nights, Mingtai has been in a difficult mood, tossing and turning, standing in Minglou's study with dark circles under his eyes.When Minglou said slowly: "Comrade Mingtai, I am now talking to you on behalf of the Southern Bureau..." Mingtai's brain had completely collapsed, and the eyes that looked at Minglou and Mingcheng were only confused: "You... …you……"

Minglou had no time to pay attention to the stupid look of his younger brother, and continued to speak: "Comrade Mingtai, I have received your application for joining the party. After inspecting and testing you for a period of time, the organization approves you to officially join China!"

Mingtai was still in a state of confusion, he murmured in disbelief, "Are you the director of the government's economic committee, the deputy director of the special committee?"

Minglou stood upright and replied, "Yes!"

"Are you the person in charge of the Military Command Shanghai Station?"

"Yes!"

"You tell me now that you are a gangster?"

Minglou proudly responded: "Yes!"

Mingtai took three steps back, with his hands on his forehead, he squatted down and sat down on the sofa, growling: "Brother, brother Ah Cheng! You two...you two..."

Minglou originally thought that his little brother would make a big fuss like he discovered his identity as a "poisonous snake" before, but found that Mingtai was silent for a long time, and couldn't help exchanging a hesitant look with Mingcheng. Squatting down, looking at Mingtai at the same level, he explained: "Mingtai, our previous disguise was a last resort. Our identities are complicated, and it affects the overall situation. Therefore, we can't slack in the slightest, sorry."

After this period of precipitation, Mingtai has a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the current situation and the responsibilities he shoulders. If he had faced Wang Tianfeng's hijacking on the plane flying to Hong Kong before, he felt that he could take advantage of this time. Now, especially after experiencing the "death knell mission", he is no longer the young man who thought that he could kill the enemy and save the country with only a single passion. Quickly cleared up the thoughts in his mind, and realized that when he was extremely disappointed in the military command, how could his elder brother and Ah Cheng not see the corruption and decadence within the military command, and how could they not find a new way to save the country and the people? the way.Thinking of this, he looked up at the two elder brothers in front of him. He had already calmed down, and asked firmly, "Yes! I know, and I can understand too! Big Brother, Brother Ah Cheng, tell me if you have any tasks!"

Minglou and Mingcheng exchanged gratified glances. Minglou looked at this younger brother who had grown and matured rapidly in the battle, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in his heart. He said loudly, "Comrade Mingtai, you are welcome to join us!" China□□Shanghai underground working group, code-named 'Dark Owl'. Your team leader is me, and I will be fully responsible for the organizational work you will carry out in Shanghai. You only need to maintain a one-line contact with me, and you don't need to ask anyone else Explain your identity."

Mingtai stood up straight and answered briefly and forcefully: "Yes! Team leader!"

Minglou continued to ask: "Your status in the military command has not changed. Due to the execution of the 'Death Knell Mission', half of the personnel in Group A were killed or injured. Considering the complexity of the underground work and the shortage of manpower, I asked the Chongqing side for instructions. The leader of Team A of the Military Command Shanghai Station, Ah Cheng, you and Yu Manli are the members of Team A. You normally maintain the status of a military command agent at Uncle Li’s side. Your tasks are different. If there is any overlap, you still use the Participate in the task in the form of cooperation between the military commander and our party."

Looking at Mingtai's puzzled eyes, Minglou increased his tone and ordered solemnly: "Remember, you only need to maintain a one-line connection with me, be responsible to me only, and only obey my orders!"

Mingtai realized that the military command and the Communist Party may have different hierarchical structures, and immediately responded: "Yes! I understand!"

After relieving the tense and serious atmosphere, Mingtai cautiously probed: "Brother, is Brother Ah Cheng in our group?"

Minglou looked at this mischievous but cautious little brother, sighed, and explained: "Yes, Ah Cheng's code name is 'Celadon', and he is in charge of intelligence work. After you join, you will be more responsible for information transmission and assassination operations. , so your flour mill, let me run it well! The identity of this flour mill manager can prevent you from being suspected when you travel around."

Mingtai regained his strength and began to regain his vitality. The true identities of his brothers lifted a big stone that weighed on his heart. He asked with a playful smile, "Brother, what about your code name?"

Minglou scowled with a fierce face, "Why are you asking so many questions!"

Mingtai leaned closer and acted like a baby: "Brother, you are my double chief! The code name Viper is quite good, it suits you very well! Your code name in the organization is also snake, right? Huh?"

Mingcheng on the side coughed dryly, held back the smile all over his face, and Mingtai immediately leaned forward: "Brother Ah Cheng, do you know what kind of snake it is? King snake? Cobra?"

Mingcheng coughed and responded in a low voice: "Cobra."

Mingtai turned around, looked at his elder brother from head to toe, and commented mischievously: "Well, it's quite suitable!"

Minglou looked at these two younger brothers who made fun of him as his own responsibility, and became furious, and deliberately scolded: "It's against the sky, you two!"

After the three brothers quarreled, Mingtai put forward an application: "Brother, you heard Manli's decision that day, I can't leave her alone, I want to win her over!"

Minglou nodded and agreed: "I thought of it, this girl can bend and stretch, knows how to change, and can withstand beatings. We need such a talent. But I can't just let her join the organization just because she follows you. I also need Observe and sharpen her."

Mingtai stood still and saluted, and replied sonorously: "Yes! Accept the organization test!!"

Seeing Mingtai leave the study with an expression that turned his face away from the clouds, Minglou was filled with emotion. He said to Mingcheng, "This child has grown up, and the reaction this time is beyond my expectation." Mingcheng agreed and said : "Eldest sister is right, she always said that a good woman is a textbook." Minglou raised his eyebrows, squinted at Mingcheng, Mingcheng looked at him without timidity, and continued to sarcasm: "So the eldest sister has more than once Speaking of Wang Manchun's book, she will never let her fall on your bed for a day." Minglou acted like a rage, pointed at Mingcheng's nose and reprimanded: "If you don't fight for three days, go to the house to expose the tiles!"

The two brothers laughed at each other for a while, but their hearts were actually bright.Ming Louzhi said: "Speaking of Wang Manchun, during this period of time, because of the code book she submitted, there have been frequent reports of success in the third war zone. I plan to go to Fujita Yoshimasa to fuel her fire. It's time to give her a ride!"

Mingcheng also looked solemn: "The deadly plan of the poisonous bee has worked, and we are finally worthy of the sacrificed comrades."

Minglou groaned when he heard the words, and the words that came out were resounding: "The nation is at the point of life and death, and our generation can only be desperate to save it. We are ready to die for the country anytime, anywhere. When that day comes, I can do it openly and honestly." Prove to the world that I, Minglou, am not a traitor, I am an anti-Japanese fighter, and I am an upright Chinese!"

Mingcheng looked at his elder brother's wet eyes, took a step forward, and held Minglou's arm: "Elder brother, and me!"
