Chapter 701: Leadership Is the Solution to the Problem
In the government office building of the Wang Puppet Government, Mingcheng raised his wrist to check the time, stood up, straightened his clothes, opened the door to the office next to him and walked in.
"Brother, it's almost time, let's go."
Minglou behind the desk shook his head: "Wang Yan just called me and said that he had something to do at the last minute and would make an appointment another day."
"Perhaps he is the most leisurely person on the beach. Why is something suddenly happening?" Mingcheng frowned, took a few steps forward to get closer to Minglou, and whispered, "Brother, he went to Iwai Mansion for tea in the morning. , could it be that he knew something and was afraid of getting into trouble, so he didn’t meet with us? "
Minglou didn't say anything, got up and left the office, got into the car with Mingcheng, and then said in a deep voice: "What you just said is similar to what I thought. We have known each other for more than two years and nearly three years, no matter who it is, as long as it is qualified When I asked him to have dinner, he never refused. In this way, after you send me to the hotel, you can quickly go out and find out who Wang Yan had tea with in the morning, and where Wang Yan was at lunch. Who are you eating with?"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Wang Yan's whereabouts are probably the best thing to know about in Shanghai. Anyone who went to Iwai Mansion in the morning would have no difficulty. And Mingcheng is not a fool. Although Minglou is asking about who drank tea with Wang Yan at the Iwai Mansion, there are only so many people who need to pay attention. The one who can affect them is either the Extra High School Course or No. 76...
After having lunch at Minglou, Mingcheng came back in a hurry and drove Minglou back to his office. He talked while driving: "Brother, in the morning, Kitagawa Kosuke went to Iwai Mansion to ask Eiichi Iwai about some work matters. It happened to be Wang Yan made an appointment with Iwai Eiichi for tea in the morning. The three of them probably drank tea together. Afterwards, Wang Yan left the Iwai Mansion and invited Gu Yongcheng and Shi Changxing to have lunch at the Guangde Building in the French Concession. Something happened temporarily, but he didn’t want to see us. Brother, there must be something wrong that made Kosuke Kitagawa focus on us.”
"I think so." Minglou nodded and frowned, "But what we don't know is what went wrong. You should also think about it carefully and see what mistakes we have made in our actions in recent times."
For a moment, the car was quiet, and both of them were thinking hard about what went wrong.
After a long time, Mingcheng let out a long breath: "Brother, I thought about it and found that there was no problem with passing on information and secretly rescuing people. We are both online and offline and it is very safe. Our whereabouts have not been exposed in the past two years. The problem should not be out of the question." Could it be that we were exposed in Mingtai in Beijing?”
"Where's the eldest sister? Has she done anything recently?"
"You know this best, eldest brother, and eldest sister is in business. She sends some supplies to the Soviet area and other base areas to help the organization circulate funds. Other than that, there is nothing else. Now eldest sister also knows that we two If there is any problem or accident, she will definitely tell us as soon as possible."
Minglou was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's ask when we go back in the evening. In addition, we should also ask Wang Yan. He will definitely not see us on the surface, nor will he talk to us too much on the phone. But there are still Yu Manli next to him, please contact her and ask her to go back and ask Wang Yan. No. 76 is useless this time. She must be on guard. Someone must be watching us secretly. You have to be careful. , Don’t expose any flaws, you can’t expose it, and Yu Manli can’t expose it either.”
"Yes, brother, I will make arrangements soon."
"Don't forget to eat. We are not being touched now, and no one is telling us, which means we haven't got any actual evidence about us yet. As long as nothing happens to us, the eldest sister will be safe. So we must take our time and take every step Go steady, go well.”
"Yes, brother, take your time." Mingcheng smiled and said, "I thought about it carefully. Do you think this is Wang Yan's intention to remind us?"
"Maybe there is a reason for this. After all, we are his God of Wealth, but the key is that he doesn't want to cause trouble. If he really knows something, he won't even want to deal with it. He is afraid that something will happen. I can’t tell what happened. Speaking of which, he is quite particular. Otherwise, when the Japanese put their guns on our heads, we wouldn’t know what went wrong.”
"Brother, do you think Yu Manli can get any news out of Wang Yan?"
"We can still reveal something. We are both the military commander and the Shanghai underground party. How could he not give us this face..."
Minglou was right. Even if Wang Yan was not a member of the Red Party, or even if Wang Yan was a player who relied on the Japanese to live his life, he would still have to reveal some information to save face. In this regard, he and Zhou Fuhai are in the same situation.
So when Yu Manli asked about this matter during dinner, Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "I found you so soon?"
Yu Manli blinked and leaned towards the table: "You found me around two o'clock in the afternoon. Can you tell me? If you can't tell me, how will I reply?"
Look, this is how love grows over time. What Yu Manli said was entirely from the perspective of Wang Yan, not the military commander. Of course, she is now a member of the Red Party. Although she does not know whether she has joined the party or whether she is a real party member or an activist, she does not care much about the military commander. She has no affiliation with the military commander, and Wang Tianfeng is the person she fears the most. Still dead, she has no interest in military rule.
"Of course I can say that the military commander's face must be given." Wang Yan said with a smile, "But I can't say much. After all, I can't be sure how many people Kitagawa Kosuke told. I know that temptations are everywhere, and they probably only told me about it, so once the matter leaks out, I probably won’t be able to run away. Check them out, whether they are alive or dead depends on their fate. "
"Then if you said it, doesn't it mean you didn't say it?" Yu Manli rolled her eyes, "You just said it was related to Der Spiegel. What can you find out? At least say a few more words."
"No more, otherwise I will die. Don't look at me like that. If it is exposed, none of us will be able to escape."
Wang Yan really couldn't say any more, because there was no way to determine how much intelligence the Japanese had. If he told everything he heard from Kosuke Kitagawa in the morning, Minglou would go back and arrange the screening of people on Mingjing's line. If there was any mistake, he would be able to alert the snake. . Because no matter how much control the Japanese have, they are in control of the situation. Therefore, there is only one result. If Minglou acts on the front foot, his king will be surrounded on the back foot.
This kind of risk is definitely something he can't bear. The loss is too great. But things had to be done, on the one hand to avoid losses to Shanghai's underground party organization, and more importantly on the other hand, although he had little contact with Ming Jing, he was his ancestor and had to be supported. As a last resort, he was saved even if he was exposed.
The key to this matter is that there must be no problem with Minglou. Because now it seems that the Japanese have determined the issue of Spiegel and can no longer quibble. Only if there is no problem with Minglou, can we keep Mingjing and save Mr. Wang from spending too much energy.
If Ming Lou wanted to prove that he was fine, he had to understand the problems Ming Jing was facing, and he had to determine whether it would eventually involve him and endanger his safety. He wants to find out the truth, break the current situation where the enemy is in darkness and we are clear, and break the Japanese's rhythm of action.
Minglou wants to save himself, but Wang Yan can't help him. Unless future developments require killers to be dispatched again, this will be Minglou's struggle, and the heavy responsibility will fall on Minglou.
That night, after a fierce collision, Yu Manli was arranged to tap her acupuncture points to make her sleep deeper. Wang Yan dressed neatly, sneaked out of the prince's mansion and rushed towards the safe house.
After four years, almost all the safe houses he built before are gone. Only a few of the houses he paid for are still there, but they are not so safe anymore. After all, many people these days don't have anywhere to live. The vacant house, with clothes covered with cloth, needs to be more conspicuous in the eyes of those who inspect the house.
But this is obviously no problem, otherwise he would have gone to a safe house. Before that, he sent another sum of money to Lu Boda and asked the Shanghai underground party organization to help rent houses in various places in Shanghai. He regularly went to get the house catalogues, and still maintained his many cunning holes.
The safe house I went to this time was located in the French Concession. After all, the French Concession has now become an isolated island. In the surrounding Japanese-occupied areas, twenty-four hours a day, No. 76 and the Special High School Telecommunications Office drove their cars to monitor the radio waves, wandering around and destroying the underground infrastructure of all parties. Activity. This has led to the fact that most of the radio stations of various forces are now located in the French Concession. The control here is not so strict and safety can be guaranteed.
Similarly, it was still on the top floor. Wang Yan skillfully unlocked the door and entered the house. He gently closed the door and then, without stopping, he immediately started setting up the radio station, arranging the antenna, and debugging it.
Not long after, he began to contact Chongqing. Following his clicking operations, the intelligence broke through the chaotic radio waves over the French Concession and reached Chongqing.
"I learned today that the Japanese army will carry out large-scale raids in North China with high frequency and large numbers of troops, aiming to destroy our base areas. Be prepared in advance. In addition, the Japanese army captured Luzon yesterday..."
Wang Yan sent all the information about the Japanese war in Southeast Asia and the deployment of troops on the second page he had read. The previous Japanese telegrams had been refined, and he sent them word for word.
"Once again, the Special High School Division has discovered that Minglou's sister is a co-worker... Please secretly find out what happened in the southern Jiangsu base area and confirm whether any of my comrades have defected to the enemy. I can't confirm how many people know about this. Shanghai must be extremely cautious in its actions. I'll cut off the copy. , don’t go back.”
Wang Yan dropped the name 'Pei Min', and a message from the elder was finally sent. As expected, the comrades copying and receiving telegrams over there had their hands cramped. Also because it was too long, translating the message was not an easy task and would take a while, so he packed up the radio and retreated without waiting for a reply.
In fact, there is no need to wait for a reply. As I said before, he can't participate in this matter. It is probably a reply that he knows and then warns him about his safety. His leadership will arrange things clearly.
As far as the party is concerned, he is just a front-line soldier with the power to make decisions on the fly, but in the end he obeys orders and obeys orders. He uses his brain to find out the problem, and his leadership is the one who solves the problem. He does not need to use his brain.
Of course, there was nothing he could do. If he could solve it, he would do it directly and just report back later. But the current situation does not have that condition. If you want to break the situation, it is difficult to solve the situation where Minglou's eyes are darkened at the moment. The only way is to start from the outside.
If there is a problem with Sunan, then investigate Sunan. If there is a problem with Der Spiegel’s upstream and downstream lines, then investigate the upstream and downstream lines. Investigate secretly, find out the truth, and then naturally respond.
But the final result is predictable, that is, the action that the Japanese thought was very sure was accidentally discovered by the Red Party's operation, causing the Japanese to respond hastily. In this process, there will definitely be deaths, more or less. This is to protect Wang Yan and protect his "innocence" on the Japanese side.
Otherwise, why would you have to make such an effort, why would you have to bear such losses, just plan a counterattack, be prepared and fight the Japanese.
The comrades who died "more or less" died for him...
Standing on the wall, Wang Yan looked at the lights in the Ming family's study that were not extinguished, sighed silently, and cleverly climbed into the Wang Mansion and fell asleep...
Ming Lou was very tormented. After returning home from get off work, he reviewed all the recent events with Ming Jing, but the result of the review was that everything was normal and there were no accidents.
But this is obviously wrong. There is no problem with him, and there is no problem with Ming Jing. Why didn't Wang Yan see him? He made an excuse that he had something to do, but ended up eating and drinking with his subordinates. How could this be okay?
That night, Mingjing, Minglou, and Mingcheng did not rest well. They were all studying what went wrong and could not sleep at all. But they all looked very energetic and went out to work.
After a busy morning, Minglou, who was out, returned to the government office building before lunch, and then picked up Minglou to have lunch together.
Minglou smiled and nodded to the people passing by the window. It was not until Mingcheng drove the car on the road and increased the speed that he asked, "How is it? What did Yu Manli say?"
"Wang Yan refused to say more, but just said that the problem was with the eldest sister." Mingcheng sighed helplessly, "But we asked the eldest sister yesterday. Everything is normal recently. There is no problem at all."
"No! It's not that there is no problem, but there has been a problem. We don't know..."
"Brother, do you mean that there is a spy around the eldest sister?"
"Apart from this, is there any other reasonable explanation? What did Wang Yan say?"
"Can I tell Ming Lou, the problem is Ming Jing, let them investigate it themselves, whether they live or die depends on their luck. "
Ming Lou nodded and pondered: "As early as when we had our first meal, Wang Yan said that there was something wrong with the eldest sister, and later I helped her hide it. Then we exposed our identities to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan knew clearly that our Ming family members were all Red Party members. So what he meant was that the eldest sister had been exposed, and the Japanese had already grasped that the eldest sister was a Red Party member, or at least had evidence of collusion with the Communist Party. "
"What? Grasped evidence? In this case, wouldn't the eldest sister be in danger?" Ming Cheng braked and turned back to speak anxiously.
Ming Lou was caught off guard and moved forward by inertia. Fortunately, his reaction was fast. He stretched out his hand to support the passenger seat with his waist and abdomen to stabilize his body.
He glared at Mingcheng unhappily: "Why are you panicking? Drive your car and watch your way. Nothing has happened yet. Things are different now, and Big Sister is not Mingtai anymore. As long as we are fine, Big Sister will be fine."
After Mingcheng got back on the road, he continued: "I think someone around Big Sister must have been captured and instigated by the Japanese, and then released. In this way, step by step, we have found out some of Big Sister's situation, so there is the current crisis."
"Uncle Li has contact with Big Sister, will he be targeted? And who is this spy? Should we report to the organization immediately and carry out identification operations?"
"Uncle Li's side , you go check it out this afternoon, be careful. As for reporting to the organization to carry out the screening operation, it is not necessary for the time being, otherwise it will harm Wang Yan and ruin the organization's big plan, right? But we need to know the situation of those around the eldest sister, and investigate it secretly first. The situation on the Japanese side should also be paid attention to. You go to Liang Zhongchun to see if he knows anything. "
"Yes, big brother, I will ask him to drink tonight."
Minglou let out a long breath, stroked his big back hair with both hands, and leaned back on the chair tiredly...
