Minister Lin took a sip of tea, placed the teacup on the coffee table, and asked, "Dalong, what do you think of the situation of the war?"
Xu Dalong said: "The islanders are crazy and stupid. They rashly launched the Pacific War, which is doomed to their eventual demise. Now they have begun to gradually go downhill. In another year at most, the situation in the Pacific battlefield will be clear, and the Japanese army will be They are forced to switch from strategic offense to strategic defense. Island countries are already short of resources. After they encounter air and sea blockades, their war potential will become less and less, and they will not be able to last for a few years. I conclude that within three years, the island countries will definitely Defeated and surrendered.”
The two discussed the international situation for a while. Minister Lin held a high position and was well-informed, but he found that Xu Dalong had a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the international situation than he did.
He heard that Xu Dalong had just returned from outside the Pass and even went to Lao Maozi's place, so he asked Lao Maozi about the relationship between him and the Kwantung Army.
Xu Dalong knew very well that sooner or later Lao Maozi would declare war on the Japanese army, but he could not go into too much detail now. He said that there is an irreconcilable conflict between Lao Maozi and the islanders over the northern territory, and there will definitely be a war between the two sides in the future. The Kwantung Army is the last strategic group of the Japanese army to stabilize the situation. Once they are eliminated by the Soviet army, the Japanese army will quickly surrender.
Minister Lin agreed with Xu Dalong's view. Although he believed that the Japanese army would not be defeated and surrendered soon, he had begun to have confidence in the future of the war of resistance.
He came to talk to Xu Dalong today, not because he wanted to talk to him in general, but because he wanted to tell him something important. This topic was actually quite sensitive.
Minister Lin pondered for a moment and then said: "What do you think of the post-war situation?"
Xu Dalong knew very well how the domestic situation in China developed after the islanders surrendered. The underground party was the future master of China, and following the underground party was a bright and correct path. He hopes that his father-in-law can join the underground party in the future, but it is too early to say this at this time. Minister Lin now occupies a high position in Guofu, and the strength of Guofu far exceeds the underground party under the current circumstances. It is impossible for Minister Lin to agree with the future outcome.
The reason why Minister Lin wanted to talk about this topic was mainly because he was worried about his son-in-law and daughter. He had also heard about what happened on Xiangyang Street in Chongqing. Not long after it happened, his daughter and son-in-law came back. He was worried that something would happen to them, so he wanted to I would like to remind Xu Dalong to be more careful while in Chongqing.
Minister Lin said: "Chongqing has not been peaceful recently. You are very famous and eye-catching. You also have to guard against Japanese special elements and other people's plots. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will be very careful."
After the two chatted for a while, Xu Dalong said goodbye and left.
He returned to his room, Xueying had not returned from her mother's place. He sat on the bedside and thought silently.
Ever since he entered Chongqing today, Gao Yongjin's words made him feel very bad. He felt an unusual aura and had a premonition that something was going to happen.
Xu Dalong felt that it was necessary to report what he heard to the underground party and his superiors. Thinking of this, he stood up and prepared to go to Monk Wei, who had a radio station with him.
Xu Dalong planned to send a telegram to Li Changshui, asking him to learn about what was happening in Chongqing through the underground party organization.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xu Dalong said, "Please come in."
The door opened and Monk Wei came in.
With a look of grief and anger on his face, he said angrily: "Master Long, look at this." As he said that, he handed over a telegram.
From Wei Dayong's expression, Xu Dalong felt that the content of the telegram was related to what happened in Chongqing. He took it and saw that it was indeed the case.
The telegram was sent by Li Changhe, who forwarded a message from northern Shaanxi. He said that the underground party liaison station working in Chongqing had been sabotaged by spies and that many people had died or disappeared. Xu Dalong was asked to investigate the matter. And launched a rescue operation for underground party personnel staying in Chongqing. The signature at the end of the telegram was the old leader he respected and the former head of the Chongqing office. At the end of the telegram, he also left the contact information with the Chongqing underground party.
Wei Dazhong said angrily: "Master Long, these spies in the Guo Mansion don't fight the Japanese, but only deal with their own people. It's so hateful. We must teach them a lesson."
Xu Dalong's mood was very calm. It wasn't that he didn't hate the behavior of these agents, but he knew very well that this matter was normal. As the Anti-Japanese War comes to an end, there will be more and more such things, and the situation will become more intense.
He nodded and said, "You're right. It's getting late. Let's go and rest first. We will start investigating this matter tomorrow."
While the two were talking, Lin Xueying came back.
Wei Dayong nodded at her and went back to his room to rest.
Lin Xueying saw Wei Dayong's bad expression and asked, "Brother Dalong, what happened?"
Xu Dalong didn't want his wife to worry. He smiled and said, "It's okay. You must be tired after a long day's journey. Go to bed early."
After breakfast the next day, Minister Lin went to work. Xu Dalong came to Wei Dayong's room and said to him: "I will accompany your sister-in-law to go shopping in a while. You come with us." At this point, he handed Wei Dayong over to Wei Dayong. A small note from Dayong.
Wei Dayong took the note. After reading it, he nodded to indicate that he had remembered it. Then he took out a lighter and burned the note. He crushed the ashes into powder with his fingers and threw it into the trash can. .
Xu Dalong returned to his room and saw that Lin Xueying had changed into a light blue suit and skirt and was looking at herself in the mirror.
Xu Dalong came behind her, looked at her pretty face in the mirror, and praised sincerely: "Xueying, you are so beautiful."
Lin Xueying turned around and smiled sweetly. Xu Dalong patted her shoulder lightly and said, "I will go shopping with you right now."
Lin Xueying stood up, but had no intention of walking out. Her expression also became serious, and she said with some concern: "Brother Dalong, what happened?"
Lin Xueying was a military agent and had very keen senses. She had already noticed that Xu Dalong might be hiding something from her.
Xu Dalong knew his wife well and knew that if he kept it from her, it would make her even more worried. And he also needs her help with something.
He held Lin Xueying's hand and pulled her to sit down by the bed. He first told her the content of the telegram sent by the underground party, and then said: "Based on your experience in working in the military command, do you think this matter should be handled from the beginning?" Where to start?”
Lin Xueying thought for a while and shook her head slightly. Although she was from the military command, she was only in the Taiyuan working group far away from the military command headquarters. She was only a grassroots employee.
She said: "I have only heard a few things about military unification and central unification. The in-depth content is not clear yet. You still need to understand it yourself."
The reason why Lin Xueying said this was because she did not want her words to lead to Xu Dalong's wrong judgment.
Xu Dalong nodded and said, "Let's go shopping as usual."
Lin Xueying understood what Xu Dalong meant and knew that he wanted to use his time out to get in touch with the underground party. She couldn't use the home phone to avoid getting her parents into trouble.
Lin Xueying said: "Okay, I haven't gone shopping for a long time. I want to have a good day today."
The three of them drove Lin's car out of the military headquarters compound and onto the street.
Wei Dayong carefully observed the surrounding movements while driving. He saw a car in the rearview mirror and felt a little suspicious. He turned a few corners and saw the car still following behind.
Wei Dayong said: "Master Long, there is a tail behind you."
This was completely expected by Xu Dalong. He smiled slightly and said lightly: "Let them follow if they are willing to follow."
The car circled the street a few more times, many sections of which were repeated. The people in the car being followed were all very shrewd spies. Seeing this situation, they knew that Xu Dalong and the others had discovered that someone was following them, and they were deliberately walking them. But they could only bite the bullet and follow.
The agents saw the car Xu Dalong was riding in stopped next to a public phone booth. A man got out of the car. This man was tall, but he was definitely not Xu Dalong.
The man entered the phone booth for four or five minutes, came out, got into the car and continued walking.
The agents hurriedly followed. They dropped an agent next to the phone booth and continued to follow Xu Dalong's car.
The agent who came down entered the phone booth and quickly called the telephone exchange, notifying the agent there to investigate the call that had just been made from the phone booth.
After some investigation, the agents found that in just a few minutes, six calls were made from the phone booth, to two movie theaters, two restaurants, a hotel, and a department store.
Now the agents were confused. There were so many clues that they needed to investigate. The workload was really too much. But they had to investigate to avoid missing useful clues.
Soon after, Monk Wei made several calls from another public phone booth. The calls involved several units and added a lot of workload to the agents.
This wasn't the end yet. Not long after, Monk Wei made another call. Some of these calls were made to the Military Command, the Security Headquarters, the Zheng Department of CQ City, and even the Central Command Office.
The agents were completely dumbfounded now. How could they investigate?
The really useful phone call among these was the one made to Chongqing Garrison Headquarters, to Zhu Guangming. Zhu Guangzhao then went to find Gao Yongjin according to Wei Dayong's instructions.
Xu Dalong and others first went to the department store to buy a bunch of things, and then went to eat. After the meal, they went to watch a movie. After watching the movie, they went to drink coffee, then went to the mall again, and went to a Photo studio, then went to a Western restaurant, and then went to Chongqing's famous Gosden Ballroom to dance.
In all the places Xu Dalong visited, he made phone calls from inside to outside. Each time he called, there were no less than two addresses.
The agents were completely dumbfounded. There was no way they could find out so much information.
The next day, Xu Dalong accompanied Lin Xueying to continue wandering around Chongqing, going to many different places and making many different phone calls.
The agents knew that Xu Dalong was playing tricks on them, but they believed that Xu Dalong must be using these actions to hide his true motives. According to their guess, they were in contact with the secret organization of the underground party in Chongqing.
Xu Dalong indeed did this on purpose, and he did not get in touch with the underground party. He had to make sure that no spies were watching to carry out this secret work.
On the third day, Xu Dalong went to visit some senior generals of the Guo Army. These people were all friends of General Fu. Xu Dalong brought them gifts and personal letters from General Fu.
Chongqing Police Headquarters.
Xu Dalong and General Wang are old friends and have a very close relationship.
Seeing Xu Dalong, he said happily: "Brother Dalong, Yi Sheng sent me a telegram saying that you are coming. I specially asked someone to get a few bottles of good wine. We brothers should have a few drinks. "
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Brother Wang, we said goodbye last time. We haven't seen each other for a year. I miss you very much. I have wanted to come and see you for a long time. I finally took a leave of absence for a while this time and accompanied your younger siblings to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law. , I stayed with them at home for two days, and the first one came to visit my eldest brother."
General Wang respects and is very close to Xu Dalong, and is also very concerned about his whereabouts.
He said: "I heard that you went to the outside of the Pass and taught the Kwantung Army a lesson. I am very interested in the situation there. Tell me about it in detail."
Xu Dalong recounted how he went outside the customs to fight the Japanese and puppet troops, and how he crossed the border to Lao Maozi.
General Wang was very curious about the situation of the Kwantung Army and Lao Maozi. After all, these were out of his reach. He asked many questions, and Xu Dalong answered them one by one, fully satisfying his curiosity.
General Wang said with some envy: "Brother Dalong, the Kwantung Army is known for its strength. It's not easy for you to be able to lay down such a large base outside the Kwantung. To be honest, I also want to compete with the Japanese. This The garrison headquarters' job is to defend Chongqing, so we don't have that opportunity."
Xu Dalong said with a smile: "Chongqing is the companion capital and the most important place. The garrison headquarters has a great responsibility. Brother Wang's ability to protect the security of Chongqing is far greater than fighting the Japanese invaders on the front line."
General Wang liked hearing this. He laughed and said: "Brother Dalong, if you have anything to do while you are in Chongqing, you can come to me. As long as my brother can handle it, I will never refuse."
Xu Dalong was not polite and said: "Brother, I came to Chongqing just to go shopping with my wife, but there are always annoying people following me. I'm afraid I need to ask my eldest brother for help with this matter."
