Chapter 572: A Call from My Hometown
After seeing Chen Mu, Chen Miao didn't go home immediately, tonight, he had to go to see another person, this person was Lao Fan.
It's not him who made an appointment to meet Lao Fan, it's Lao Fan who made an appointment with him.
It was almost early nine o'clock before Chen Miao rushed to the place where he had an appointment with Lao Fan, and he also got out of the car in advance and walked a long way.
"This place is rented by Xiaozhuang, and it is an alternate dispatch location." Lao Fan opened the door and welcomed him in.
"Hmm."
"My relationship with Xiaozhuang is that of a distant cousin, so even if someone sees it, it doesn't matter." Lao Fan explained again.
"Hmm." Chen Miao nodded, he had seen Xiaozhuang a few times, it was in the pharmacy opened by "Lin" Ji, and the shopkeeper of Gray Falcon's brother Qiao Hai.
This prescription can also be regarded as a secret traffic station of theirs, which is considered a backup, and is not usually activated.
"This is a telegram from my hometown, you can take a look." Lao Fan took out a telegraph from his pocket and handed it to Chen Miao, who was sitting down.
The telegram was an instruction sent by the Central Committee to the Southeast Bureau and the New Fourth Army, and although it had nothing to do with Chen Miao's latent group, the intention of sending such an instruction to their latent intelligence group was obvious, and the situation in the country was very dangerous, especially for the New Fourth Army.
"Old Fan, what do you need me to do?"
"You are in this position too critical, and you have mastered a certain channel for smuggling materials, and the central government has let the New Fourth Army expand its armaments and warfare at any time, so as to be ready to resist the stubborn opposition of the Kuomintang at any time. Communists provoke and attack, but the most important thing in the expansion of the army is that we need weapons. Lao Fan took out a cigarette, twisted it, lit it, and took a puff.
"How much do you need?"
"The more the merrier."
"I may not be able to provide so much, but I can provide some information about the puppet army garrison, our troops may not be able to fight the Japanese army, but it shouldn't be a big problem to fight these puppet troops, right?" Chen Miao thought for a moment and said.
"You mean, by fighting these puppet armies to capture and replenish soldiers?" Old Fan said.
"Yes, also, don't fight these puppet soldiers to the death, if you win, just capture the weapons, in addition, don't the officers, take away those soldiers who have no evil deeds, most of these people are from poor backgrounds, and some are even pulled into strong men, and they are soldiers just for a bite to eat, and when they come to us, as long as they are educated a little, they can become our people, and they have a little military skills, and they can quickly form combat effectiveness......"
"Why don't you want officers?"
"What kind of people are the officers in the puppet army, ruffians. Hooligans, no longer traitors and lackeys, the most heinous traitors can be suppressed, but some puppet army officers who have no evil deeds, let them go back, and when the time comes, recruit soldiers and distribute weapons, we can ...... again"
After hearing this, Lao Fan's eyes widened, and this idea was also damaged, this is to let the enemy recruit troops and expand his army!
"I'm now under No. 76, I can see most of the information, don't worry, with the information I provide, not to mention the guarantee of 100% victory, there are still seven or eight points of certainty." Chen Miao said.
"Cheng, I'll report your idea to the higher-level chief, but if your method is really good, we can really expand a group of troops in a very short time." Lao Fan nodded, he felt that Chen Miao's method had a certain degree of operability.
The source of intelligence does not necessarily have to be Chen Miao, there are no other hidden comrades within the Japanese puppet, there must be.
And as long as the water is muddyed, Chen Miao's head will not be suspected, because the source of the leak is not Chen Miao alone, and it will be difficult to trace it.
The hometown soon decided to accept Chen Miao's suggestion, and began to specifically pick the puppet army with soft persimmons, and with the cooperation of accurate intelligence, they continuously attacked dozens of strongholds of the puppet army in Jiangbei and Jiangnan.
Weapons, ammunition, and various materials were seized, and thousands of puppet army prisoners joined the New Fourth Army after being educated, greatly expanding the strength of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei.
The head of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei later said that they had a shadow chief of staff, and without this shadow chief of staff, it would not have been possible for the New Fourth Army to develop and grow in a short period of time, and it not only resisted the attack of the stubborn Kuomintang reactionaries, but also became a considerable anti-Japanese force.
"One more thing, I think Lin Shiqun is testing me." Chen Miao told Lao Fan about the "101st Air Raid Chongqing Operational Order" that he called Lin Shiqun to talk about today.
"This intelligence is too important, do you know, if you can know the batch and time of the Japanese bombing in advance, and take precautions in advance, how many sacrifices will be reduced?"
"If Lin Shiqun deliberately leaked this news to me, and then tested my reaction, or this is simply called news, if Chongqing deploys precautions according to this fake news, then I will be completely exposed." It's not that Chen Miao doesn't understand this truth, but just for the sake of this one piece of information, it may be completely exposed, is it worth it?
Of course, this is a little difficult to choose, compared with tens of millions of lives, exposing Chen Miao alone is really nothing, one person's exposure, in exchange for tens of millions of people to survive.
No matter how you calculate this account, you can count it as a win.
And Chen Miao still has the opportunity to retreat from the province, not necessarily at the cost of sacrificing his life.
The question is, what if the intelligence is fake?
All the previous efforts were in vain, and it took so much effort to finally break into No. 76, and to get to the current key position, so I gave it up?
"Lao Fan, I don't know whether this information is true or not, you quickly send it back to your hometown, let the family find other channels to verify, and see if there is a similar source, then even if the news is leaked from me, it may not be suspected of me, because I am not the only source of the leak." Chen Miao, "If there is no other relevant news, it means that this may be a false information, and Lin Shiqun took it out to test me." ”
"Okay, I'll state it in the telegram." Lao Fan nodded and agreed.
"The Japanese are using the drama of exchanging counterfeit money into real money to disrupt the economic and financial order in the occupied areas, although I don't know exactly what kind of plans they have, and I have now used the newspapers to expose them, and they may stop for the time being, but there will definitely be plans for the future, which is a very troublesome thing." Chen Miao said.
"Is it hard to tell if the counterfeit money they print is real or fake?"
"At least ordinary people can't make out of it." Chen Miao said.
"What will be the impact of counterfeit banknotes if they enter circulation?" Lao Fan asked.
"I don't know much about economics, but once counterfeit money becomes popular, it will lead to a depreciation of the real currency, and then inflation."
"In other words, the money is worthless?"
"Yes, but it would be different if the Japanese exchanged counterfeit money for our real money." Chen Miao said, "That means that we have exchanged real money for a pile of waste paper, and if we continue to depreciate the fiat currency, then these wealth will be forcibly seized by the Japanese." ”
"What's in it for them to do that?"
"In addition to collapsing our economic order, there is also plundering our supplies, feeding the war with war, and then taking control of our finances, so that we can completely become a colony, a vassal of Japan." Chen Miao explained.
"It's too vicious."
"Yes, but we don't have a very good way to deal with their vicious behavior, and even if we know they do, if they make the counterfeit money real and we can identify it, then we can't do anything about it." Chen Miao shook her head, "Or, I didn't think of a better way." ”
"You are not omnipotent, you can't think of it, others may not think of it, you don't have to worry about it, but here in Shanghai, you still have to pay attention to it."
"I know, I've done some arrangements, but how to use it, whether it will work, I don't know the bottom yet." Chen Miao said.
"You arranged for the Viper to go to the Righteous Faith Society, wouldn't it be based on this arrangement?" Lao Fan suddenly woke up, although it was a fire snake that needed a place to live, but there were many choices, Chen Miao arranged him into the Yixin Society, this foot organization, behind it is the Green Gang organization, and now it is a traitor organization.
Because Yoshishinsha was founded with the support of the Japanese.
"Sort of." Chen Miao nodded.
"You go back early, if there is news when you get back, I will let Xiao Qi inform you as soon as possible." Lao Fan got up and was about to send off the guest.
"It's curfew outside, you're ...... tonight"
"I'll stay here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning." Old Fan said.
"Okay, then I'll go first." Chen Miao nodded, came out of the house, put on a top hat, observed at the door, and quickly disappeared into the dark alley.
……
"I'm back, I smell of cigarettes, hurry up and take a shower......"
"Why are you so smart now, I used to be like this, you never dislike it." Chen Miao muttered with some dissatisfaction.
"I don't know, I don't feel sick when I smell your smoke right now." Liang Xueqin frowned.
"Is it true that all pregnant women are like this?"
"Probably, I'm going to go to Dr. He's tomorrow." Liang Xueqin said, "Don't go, let the fifth brother drive, and Qiao'er will accompany me." ”
"How can Lao Wu be enough alone, let Ah Hu and Ah Fei follow, and drive an extra car." Chen Miao said.
"Okay." Liang Xueqin's eyes didn't last long before she agreed, she had the experience of being kidnapped, and she still had palpitations when she thought about it, and now that she was pregnant with a child in her belly, she had to be even more cautious.
"Hongyu's voice is good, although it's a little late to learn now, but if you can cooperate with Qiao'er, it would be good to make a double debut."
Chen Miao took a hot shower and came out.
"Where's Lao Gu?"
"Lao Gu is old, and he had a serious illness last year, and now he has been raised, and his spirit is not as good as before, if Hongyu is willing to learn, he can worship Lao Gu as a teacher." Liang Xueqin said.
"Lao Gu has this meaning?"
"I've been wandering for most of my life, and I don't have a successor, so I guess I want to pass on this skill." Liang Xueqin said, "It's this red jade ......"
"Let's try it first, if it doesn't work." Chen Miao walked over and sat down beside his wife, "What do you say?" ”
"Hmm." Liang Xueqin thought for a moment and nodded.
