At two o'clock in the afternoon of the 5th, at the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, Mao Renfeng took two telegrams to Dai Li, who had just returned from a meeting at the Huangshan Residence: "Look at these two telegrams, one is from Liu Zezhi, and the other is from Han Deqin. ”

"I already know the content of the telegram, Han Deqin's telegram was first sent to Chief Gu, and Chief Gu also attended the military meeting. Chief Gu praised Liu Zezhi a few words, saying that the Japanese and puppets joined forces to encircle and suppress, and Liu Zezhi actually succeeded in setting up the 'empty city plan', and also said that he agreed to Liu Zezhi's proposal and praised him for knowing the overall situation. He also made a request to me in person: Liu Zezhi was ordered to assist Han Deqin. I agreed. ”

"Despite this, Liu Zezhi did not ask for instructions in advance, acted on his own, and gave up the base area on his own initiative, and this trend cannot last."

"In order to strictly enforce military discipline and family law, I want to give him a punishment, you can watch it. By the way, the principal personally asked about the Flying Eagle Project, and if you urge it, I have made a military order. ”

"Yes, I'll order someone to send a telegram to Liu Zezhi."

Dai Li picked up the telegram sent by Liu Zezhi and looked at it, and said: "There is no mention in the telegram sent by Liu Zezhi, you may not know it yet: Han Deqin sent a telegram to Chief Gu, asking Chief Gu to open his mouth to me and keep Liu Zezhi in his army. ”

"Han Deqin actually dares to rob people with our military commanders? Could it be that Liu Zezhi had a different heart? ”

"Are you careless? It's always a good thing for your subordinates to be appreciated by others. Qi Wu, tomorrow I will leave to inspect the front line in Burma, unless there is an emergency, don't send me a telegram, you are in charge. ”

"Yes, take care."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Deputy Battalion Commander Xu came to Liu Zezhi: "Commissioner Liu, I inquired, the person you said is named Zhang Keqing and was picked up at 10 o'clock this morning." That person was quite mysterious, and he was hospitalized in a military hospital with a pseudonym, so it took a little effort to find out. It is said that the injury is quite serious, and there will be sequelae, but it is not life-threatening. ”

Liu Zezhi replied: "It's hard work, I'm relieved to know that he is okay for the time being." ”

"Commissioner Liu, you can call me Lao Xu, or call my name Xu Songquan."

Liu Zezhi smiled, saw Adjutant Wang coming over, and asked, "Adjutant Wang, are you here to find me?" ”

Adjutant Wang replied, "Chief Han asked you to go and see him, is it convenient for you now?" ”

"The chief summoned you, of course it's convenient, let's go."

Han Deqin politely invited Liu Zezhi to sit down and said: "Chief Gu called back and agreed to our plan, for fear of embarrassing you, Chief Gu specially proposed a plan to ask for your assistance to Boss Dai in person, and Boss Dai agreed." This is a mandate from the Third War Zone, how many people do you need? Although it is brought up. ”

"The number of agents is not the number of people in the competition, please send Deputy Commander Han to me, Adjutant Wang is the person next to you, he can represent you, the two of them can do it, and the military commander has an action group in Nanjing. Warrant? The letter of appointment of the commander of the lieutenant general of the 117th Division, should the Supreme Military Council have the right to sign the letter of appointment? It seems that the General Staff still needs to be countersigned, right? ”

"I have already reported to the Military Commission for an application, and it will take at least half a month to come and go, and the situation is urgent, so I have to follow the authority and make up for it afterwards."

Liu Zezhi got up and said: "I have a sentence that I don't know how to advance or retreat, because of the need to perform other tasks, the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command has a blank letter of appointment in its hand, of course, it is not the appointment of Ren Hengwen, but the Military Commander has a person in Nanjing...... This letter of appointment can be done seamlessly. ”

Han Deqin was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Can you guarantee that there is no difference between it and the real one?" ”

Liu Zezhi smiled and replied: "Chief Han, the matter is noble, this letter of appointment is originally true, as long as the military committee approves it." ”

"Yes, yes, I was confused, of course it's true. Zezhi, what else do you need? What are you doing when you stand up? Sit down and say. Adjutant Wang, how do you treat guests? Hurry up and serve tea. ”

Adjutant Wang brought the freshly brewed hot tea, and Han Deqin ordered: "Inform Xu Songquan that from now on, you and him will be dispatched by Commissioner Liu." ”

Liu Zezhi sat down and replied: "Please give me a handwritten letter, in which you may as well pretend that you have already reported to the Military Commission to promote Ren Hengwen to the commander of the 117th Division, and the letter of appointment was delayed on the road, and you only received it today, but unfortunately Ren Hengwen was ...... yesterday."

"How this letter should be written, I understand. When are you going to go? ”

"Ren Hengwen and some of the officers of the 117th Division mutiny will arrive in Nanjing tomorrow, followed by a three-day short-term reorganization, and return on the 9th. I'm ready to leave at seven o'clock this evening. Chief Han, Director Zhou has not yet arrived, and Deputy Director Zhang is injured, after I leave, please take care of the personnel and the third column transferred to you by the military commander. ”

Han Deqin agreed: "Do you need to talk about this?" It's all on me. After the Japanese sent troops to reinforce Burma, the recovery of the base area was also wrapped up in me. ”

Liu Zezhi got up and replied, "Thank you, Chief Han, for your repeated assistance to the military commanders. If the commander has no other orders, the subordinate will retire. ”

"There is another person, named Ding Wei, who is the quartermaster of the 117th Division, and I also wrote a personal letter to him. Zezhi, thank you for your hard work, I am waiting for your good news. ”

Liu Zezhi ordered Adjutant Wang to prepare for departure, and took Xu Songquan to the hospital to explain a few words to Zhang Chi, Lin Shirong happened to come to Zhang Chi and said, "Commissioner Liu is also there?" I'll look for you again. A telegram from the headquarters of the Bureau. ”

Liu Zezhi translated the message and said with a wry smile: "Lao Zhang, you can also take a look." Lao Lin, don't go, set off with me at seven o'clock and go to Nanjing to carry out the mission. ”

Lin Shirong replied, "Yes." The hospital started selling dinner, so I went to buy food. ”

Xu Songquan didn't know where to find an old coffee table and two maza, and ran out to find cutlery. Zhang Chi took the telegram and saw: ...... The investigation officer was bold and reckless, acted without authorization, and abandoned the base area, and the crime was beyond reproach, and he should have been dealt with seriously. Complete the Eagle Project as soon as possible, otherwise the two crimes will be punished concurrently......

Zhang Chi comforted: "Kissing is strict and sparse is wide, and Mr. Mao also has his difficulties...... I mean, it's for others to see, don't take it personally. ”

Liu Zezhi smiled, saw Lin Shirong and Xu Songquan holding a pot of vegetables and a pot of rice, helping to serve the rice, bypassed the topic, and said: "Lao Xu, you sit on the bed, Lao Lin, you also sit." Lao Xu, I asked you to go to Nanjing with me to carry out the mission, not only because you have cooperated with the military commander for a long time, but also because there is no shortage of field officers here under Chief Han, what is lacking is special agents. If you can get lucky, it will be beneficial for your future promotion. ”

Xu Songquan replied: "I understand, I heard Adjutant Wang say, I am convinced of you, follow you, I am willing." Commissioner Liu, you might as well stay with Chief Han......" Seeing that Zhang Chi and Lin Shirong stopped to look at him at the same time, Xu Songquan hurriedly changed the topic: "I'm joking, eat and eat, today's radish fried is good." ”

After eating, Liu Zezhi ordered: "Lao Xu, drive that truck out, call Adjutant Wang, and set off in half an hour." Lin Shirong took Xu Songquan to go. Liu Zezhi said again: "Lao Zhang, I'll set off in a while, you take care of yourself, I ordered Wang Geng to take care of you and Lao Sun in the hospital, as well as several other wounded soldiers of the military commander." ”

"You can go in peace - Zezhi, I ask you a word, and you tell me the truth."

"Just ask."

"Do you have a lot of slander for Mr. Mao?"

Liu Zezhi smiled and didn't answer. Zhang Chi asked again: "If this happened to Li Shiqun, what would he do?" ”

"He'd let someone else deal with me, and then he would appease me privately."

"Compared to Mr. Mao, do you like Li Shiqun's way of dealing with it better? Forget it, I won't ask. ”

"Between you and me, there's nothing you can't ask. I don't like Li Shiqun's handling either. ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "You can't be careful." ”

"I didn't lie to you, compared to Mr. Mao, Li Shiqun is more cordial and easier to get along with, but I really don't like it - it has nothing to do with the position. I like the way the other person handles it: he will teach me a lesson in private, he will take responsibility for me in front of people, and afterwards he will tell me to do things as well as possible in the future. Lao Zhang, I'm leaving. ”

After Liu Zezhi left, Zhang Chi kept thinking about Liu Zezhi's words: Who is this person, is it......

At nine o'clock in the morning of the 6th, in an inn next to Nanjing Railway Station, Ge Jiapeng in disguise came to see Liu Zezhi: "You can come back, what's wrong with Deputy Director Zhang?" And Sun Dongsheng, is he okay? ”

Liu Zezhi briefly described what happened in the base area, and Ge Jiapeng replied with palpitations: "It's good that you go back, otherwise...... After all, it didn't cause much damage. You're right: people are in the green mountains. ”

"In addition to the Flying Eagle Project when I came back this time, I also accepted another mission, Lin Shirong and the other three assisted me, and I arranged them in another inn, except for you and me, the members who carried out these two tasks did not cross each other. Jiapeng, you are the most important member of this task. ”

"No problem, what do you need me to do?"

Liu Zezhi replied: "I need a letter of appointment issued by the Military Commission and countersigned by the General Staff, and I will need it tomorrow." ”

"We have a blank letter of appointment on hand, and we only need to forge the steel seal and signature, which is not a big problem."

Liu Zezhi boasted: "I knew you could do it." ”

"May I ask? The Flying Eagle Project has not yet been completed, how did you accept a new mission? What is this letter of appointment for? ”

Liu Zezhi said Han Deqin's request. Ge Jiapeng was very dissatisfied: "Ren Heng should kill such a person when he hears this!" He was also formally appointed...... Besides, this is not a matter for the army to control. ”

"Many places in the Shanghai branch rely on Chief Han, not to mention - assisting Chief Han to persuade Ren Hengwen to get lost and get Boss Dai's permission."

"Boss Dai agreed, so what else is there to say? I'll go to the market in a moment to find the tools I need. ”

"You'd better show up less and pull a list for Cui Feng to go. Is there any news from Pan Ganchen? ”

Ge Jiapeng replied: "Yes, last night he sent his confidant and confidant Director Mi to send a letter through the dead mailbox, saying that the order to appoint him as the deputy commander of the provisional Fifth Army has come down, and the military meeting has been held for two and a half days, and it is expected that the battle plan will not come out until the 7th, that is, tomorrow. Whether he will be able to get the full plan, he does not know at the moment. ”

"Then wait until tomorrow. Jia Peng, this is a secret telegram, you ordered Chen Ming to send it. After the power of attorney was forged, you came to me. "He had to get in touch with Zhang Zhan and find out where Ren Hengwen lived in Nanjing.

Ge Jiapeng took a prepared telegram, put on a top hat and goggles, and left the inn.
