"Director Meng, the spring breeze is proud."

"Where, where is it, District Mayor Zhou is full of red light. Oh, lo and behold, Secretary Cheng is here. ”

On September 3, 1938, the elite Song Xilian Division fought a fierce battle with the Japanese army in Dabie Mountain.

On the same day, a high-level meeting of the naval command was held.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss Shanghai's response to this after the establishment of the Military Command Bureau.

Shanghai is the most important task of the Military Command Bureau, and Dai Li attaches great importance to it, so 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!

As soon as these three people meet, how affectionate and affectionate they are, how harmonious they want to be with each other, one by one you praise me, and I praise you. I said that your Secretary Zhou commanded properly, he said that I, Director Meng, acted quickly, and you said that he Secretary Cheng was stable and old.

All in all, there is a harmonious atmosphere, and there is no contradiction in it.

But if you really want to be able to see through the truth in the other party's heart, it is a person who wants to drive you out of Shanghai immediately and take over the power.

Especially Meng Shaoyuan, he hated these two people to the bone, and he thought about the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and was bent on stabilizing the internal situation, so he let them go everywhere.

But these two people are good, and they have to tell Dai Li about their black state several times a month.

I played with the Japanese on the front line, and I stabbed someone else in the back of my buttocks.

That's fine, since you're unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Want to play?

Everyone's bayonets are red.

Young Master Meng and I, the Japanese are not afraid, can I still be afraid of you?

This time, Meng Shaoyuan already sensed an opportunity.

"Secretary Chen is here."

The Big Three immediately greeted them.

Just by looking at the position of walking, you can see some clues.

As soon as they saw Chen Shixian coming in, Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming immediately took the lead in standing up and walking in front.

Chen Shixian is a minister sent by Director Dai.

Whoever can shake hands with him first will be able to prove his status in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan stood up unhurriedly and followed behind them.

Well, Cheng Yiming's changes are still relatively large.

He came from the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and he knew that his identity was special, so he had always been very forbearing, and even if he was relegated to Suzhou at that time, he still had no regrets and worked hard.

In the end, his diligence, hard work, and the help of the forces behind him finally reinstated him.

However, as Shanghai became an isolated island and the Anti-Japanese War deepened, he began to slowly reveal his true colors and was no longer satisfied with his current status.

That's what people are.

If Shanghai is still controlled by the Nationalist Government, Cheng Yiming will still be the Secretary Cheng who endures everywhere and does his best. Zhou Weilong is still the same District Chief Zhou who is arrogant and arrogant with his qualifications, but he can still focus on the overall situation.

However, Shanghai fell, the Nationalist Government withdrew to Chongqing, and most of the things were handled by them independently.

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

As long as I remain loyal to Mr. Dai, it is not a big deal for me to take over the power.

For the sake of the four words "monopolizing power", how many people have hollowed out their minds for this, squeezed out their colleagues, and single-mindedly driven away those who may pose a threat to themselves?

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

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan must go!

These are all very clear in Meng Shaoyuan's heart.

However, no matter how smart Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming were, they still ignored one thing, although Shanghai fell, the military commander was still Dai Li's military commander.

No one can get rid of the people he thinks are trustworthy.

"District Mayor Zhou, Secretary Cheng, hard work." Chen Shixian smiled and shook hands with them: "The Military Command Bureau has been officially established, and on behalf of Director He, Director Dai would like to pay 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 gaze fell on Meng Shaoyuan, who was standing behind them, and smiled meaningfully: "Director Meng, you are standing behind, I almost didn't notice you." ”

"Secretary Chen." Meng Shaoyuan stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Shixian: "The work in Shanghai is under the command of District Mayor Zhou and Secretary Cheng, and of course I, a small director, can only be relegated to the back." ”

"I said, when did Director Meng become so polite?" Zhou Weilong looked like an old-timer admiring his juniors: "Full of Shanghai, who doesn't know Meng Shaoyuan?" The entire Shanghai intelligence agency, who does not know the strongest agent on the surface? Besides, your brother Meng is the head of the Operations Section of our Military Command Bureau, and we still have to ask you for instructions for a particularly major operation. ”

"District Chief Zhou, you're slapping me."

Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "What am I in front of your District Chief Zhou?" Nothing. The military command is up and down, when it comes to meritorious service and seniority, who can compare to you as District Chief Zhou? ”

Zhou Weilong didn't even tell 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 flattering words, and it stands to reason that Zhou Weilong should be humble for a few words, but he didn't say anything at all, but accepted it calmly.

Who can compare to your District Chief?

What about Director Dai?

Before he came, Director Dai talked to himself, which roughly means that Zhou Weilong had great contributions in the early days of the revolution, and he was also his great benefactor of Director Dai.

It's just that over the years, Zhou Weilong has been proud of his achievements, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu have not taken it seriously. Last time, the funds allocated by the headquarters were a few days late, and as a result, Zhou Weilong sent a telegram directly to Dai Li, who was furious.

It was not until Dai Li personally ordered the immediate appropriation of funds to settle the matter.

"After the establishment of our Military Command Bureau, the monthly fund is 50,000 yuan, which is overstretched, and we have to rely on trying to maintain it everywhere." On that day, Dai Li said: "Some places are trying to raise their own funds, and some are constantly reaching out to us, without understanding our difficulties, but we can't refuse to give them this money."

Shanghai is a world of flowers, and I can understand the use of a lot. There are a total of three people in Shanghai who are in charge, Zhou Weilong's money can't be late for a day, and how much income his own industry can bring him is never reported or handed over, of course, he does this, and I don't have much to say.

As for Cheng Yiming, the funds will be a few days late, and there are not many direct complaints, but I heard that he often said to his subordinates, 'No way, who let us be raised by our stepmother, tighten our belts and live.'" 'Who is the stepmother?' Me, or headquarters? I don't treat everyone equally, how can I divide each other?

The last one is Meng Shaoyuan. Everybody knows I'm partial to him, why? In terms of funding alone, I have never allocated funds to him, and he only thinks that there is no such thing as no funds, on the contrary, I have to ask him for money every once in a while. He worked hard to help me run the company, where did the profits of those companies go? It's used to supplement the various departments of our military command! Otherwise, where will we have enough money? If I don't favor him, all the dignitaries in those places will starve to death! ”

These Chen Shixian all know that the military commander began to establish a smuggling empire under the command of Dai Li, and the first patriarch of this empire was him Meng Shaoyuan:

"Mr. Dai, I heard that Meng Shaoyuan's life in Shanghai is very luxurious, and the company's money is only afraid that he is not less black."

"These, you don't know about me?" Dai Li said lightly: "A good horse with a good horse, traveling thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night, you can't help but feed him, right?" I want him to help make money, and I want him not to make black money, but he can't do it. Money can't buy loyalty, but money can make people do things for you in a down-to-earth manner, and it can make people motivated to do things for you. ”

can be Dai Li's third secretary, ranking only below Zheng Jiemin and Mao Renfeng, Chen Shixian is of course good at finding out Mr. Dai's mind.

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

At this time, the Big Three stood in front of him, and Chen Shixian looked at them and praised each other: "Okay, everyone please take a seat." ”

As soon as he sat down, Cheng Yiming immediately said: "The Wuhan war is in full swing, and Secretary Chen rushed here from Wuhan, and he has worked hard all the way. ”

"Compared with the soldiers who are fighting bloodily on the front line, it is nothing." Chen Shixian said politely: "Even in Shanghai, District Mayor Zhou, Secretary Cheng, and Director Meng are all playing with the Japanese with their heads, and I am nothing." ”

After speaking, his face was straight: "We've finished our polite words, and now we will convey Director Dai's order." The Battle of Wuhan was a life-and-death battle for the Chinese nation, and there is no room for failure. The agents of our military command throughout the country need to take urgent action to detect the enemy's intelligence, sabotage the enemy's transportation hubs, and launch an armed struggle behind enemy lines, so that the Japanese will not have a day to rest.

On the northern part of Jiangsu, Han Deqin's troops once invaded Xuzhou and provided great help to the frontal battlefield in Wuhan. Among them, the staff of our military command has made a great contribution. With regard to Shanghai, as the focus of our military's reunification work, Japan has set up a special committee for China and a new spy command structure in Shanghai to take control of Shanghai.

He ordered Zhou Weilong, head of the Shanghai Hidden District, Cheng Yiming, secretary, and Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Special Inspectorate Office, to destroy the so-called Tufeiyuan organs at all costs, annihilate the Japanese and traitors, and make it difficult for the Japanese to move an inch in Shanghai. And at the same time, look for opportunities, take the initiative, and take control of Shanghai! ”

"Yes!"

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

"Okay, please take a seat, please take a seat." Chen Shixian returned to normalcy: "The above is Director Dai's password, everyone must remember." District Mayor Zhou, Secretary Cheng, Director Meng, please start reporting work. ”

Starting from Zhou Weilong, the three of them reported their work one by one.

Meng Shaoyuan listened carefully, but his mind was racing rapidly, if he just conveyed these instructions, Dai Li would not have sent Chen Shixian to risk coming to Shanghai in person.

I'm afraid, there's something else going on, right?
