Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Guofu imprisoned a large number of underground party members, most of whom were sentenced to life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment of varying years. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, thanks to the efforts of the underground party, a small number of them were rescued, but most of the others continued to be imprisoned. With the outbreak of the war, many territories were occupied by the Japanese invaders, and the underground party members imprisoned in prisons fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders. Those underground party members imprisoned in the Guotong District Prison continued to be imprisoned.
In addition, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, some underground party members were arrested and imprisoned for various reasons or excuses. The rescue work of underground party members has been ongoing, and a small number of people are rescued every year. Among these imprisoned persons, many are key personnel of the underground party. Most of these people were arrested, imprisoned, and sentenced through the hands of military commanders.
The underground party knew that Xu Dalong had good connections in Guofu and also had a good relationship with the military commander. Therefore, it is hoped that Xu Dalong can rescue a group of important backbones.
Xu Dalong was really embarrassed because this matter was too sensitive. These connections in his hands are basically useless, and no one is willing to show up on such a sensitive matter. If he really made a request in this regard, he would be considered ignorant and a big trouble, and the connections he had worked so hard to build in the past would disappear in an instant.
Xu Dalong first discussed this matter with Lin Xueying, and she also believed that this matter was basically impossible.
She said: "No one wants to get involved in such a thing. Of course, I used to have a low-level official position in the military command, and I don't know much about the above matters. You can try to inquire about the situation from the military commander first, but there is little hope."
Xu Dalong felt that he was powerless in this matter, but he still had to give his best to the tasks assigned by his superiors.
On this day, Xu Dalong called Lin Zhongmin and asked to meet him alone.
Lin Zhongmin respected Xu Dalong very much and regarded him as his good friend. Following Xu Dalong's invitation, he came to a private room in Bashu Restaurant.
Lin Zhongmin is a smart man, and he guessed that Xu Dalong must have something important to say when he came to him.
After the greetings, Lin Zhongmin said: "Brother Dalong, if you need my help with anything, just ask."
The reason why Xu Dalong came to Lin Zhongmin was because he knew that Lin Zhongmin was a decent man and not as thoughtful as You Yukun, so he trusted Lin Zhongmin more.
He said: "Brother Zhongmin, I have encountered an embarrassing matter. Let me explain first that I will not make this matter difficult for you. I don't need you to do it for me. I just want you to help me come up with an idea."
Lin Zhongmin said: "There is no need to be so polite between us. If you have something to say, just say it. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."
Xu Dalong told Lin Zhongmin about his superior's request. Lin Zhongmin frowned more and more as he listened.
After listening, he shook his head and said: "Brother Dalong, this matter is too sensitive. No one wants to get involved in it. With all due respect, this matter cannot be done. You'd better not talk to anyone." Mention this matter, otherwise, you will offend people completely."
Xu Dalong nodded and said with some expectation: "Brother Zhongmin, I understand what you said. You have a clearer understanding of military affairs. I just hope you can help me come up with an idea."
Lin Zhongmin hesitated for a while, hesitated to speak, then shook his head and remained silent.
Xu Dalong saw a glimmer of hope in his actions. He said: "Brother Zhongmin, I know you just thought of a solution to the problem. Maybe you don't think it is reliable, but you can tell it. It is an idea to solve the problem." .”
Lin Zhongmin said: "Brother Dalong, actually there is no solution to this matter. As long as you can convince our boss, if he agrees, he has many ways to help you solve this problem.
But I have to remind you, if you are not absolutely sure, don’t speak to our boss. "
After Xu Dalong thought about it, he felt that what he said made sense. The only way to solve this matter is to go to Lin Zhongmin and their boss. With their boss's methods, as long as he agrees, it will be done so seamlessly that no one can find fault.
He said happily: "Thank you, Brother Zhongmin, I know what to do."
Then Xu Dalong stopped talking about these things, chatted with Lin Zhongmin, and drank happily.
After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xueying asked: "Brother Dalong, have you thought of a solution to the problem?"
Xu Dalong told Lin Xueying what Lin Zhongmin said.
After hearing this, Lin Xueying shook her head and said: "The boss of Juntong is a shrewd man. He will not help you with sensitive matters. Moreover, he is cruel and ruthless. If you rashly propose to him the matter of rescuing the underground party, it might be the opposite." It will harm those underground parties."
Speaking of this, Lin Xueying hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Brother Dalong, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. Ordinarily, I am also an underground party member now, and I should try my best to fight for organizational matters. But this matter, I suggest you don’t take it upon yourself. You have already made enough contributions to the organization. It’s okay if you don’t do this kind of thing. It might destroy you.”
Xu Dalong understood what his wife meant. To be honest, he really doesn't want to take care of this matter. If he is not careful, he will get into trouble, and if he doesn't, it will really ruin his future.
But this matter was assigned to him by the former head of the Chongqing Underground Party Office. He had great respect for the old leader and he did not want to live up to the old leader's expectations.
In order to appease his wife and prevent her from worrying, Xu Dalong said: "What you said makes sense. Let me think about this matter."
That night, Xu Dalong asked Lin Xueying to rest first. He came to the living room alone, lit a cigarette, and carefully studied the feasibility of the matter and the various consequences caused by it. After repeated weighing, he decided to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors.
The relationship between Xu Dalong and the military boss is very close. The two have common interests and value each other's abilities and strength. To put it bluntly, they both have value for each other. Xu Dalong has every intention of negotiating terms with him. qualifications.
However, Xu Dalong believes that it is not a big problem to ask the boss for help in other matters, but in this sensitive matter, the Israeli military reunification boss is shrewd and may still refuse.
Xu Dalong must give him another special gift to make him believe that Xu Dalong can provide him with more help in the future, so that this thing is possible.
Xu Dalong repeatedly considered various possible surnames and finally made up his mind. He is a decisive person. Once he makes up his mind, he no longer looks back. He calmed down and soon fell asleep after returning to the bedroom.
Its daybreak. Lin Xueying knew that Xu Dalong went to the living room last night because she saw the cigarette butts in the ashtray. He must still be thinking about that matter.
She said with concern: "Brother Dalong, I also thought about this yesterday. I think you should not force yourself and don't do what you can't do. You are an excellent military commander, just like Commander Li and others That way, just fight the good fight.”
Lin Xueying was still a little worried about Xu Dalong and didn't want him to get involved in something too sensitive.
Xu Dalong understood his wife's thoughts. He gently patted the back of his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, I do things in a measured way."
After breakfast, Xu Dalong called Monk Wei and gave him a task.
Monk Wei nodded and called Zhu Guangzhao, asking him to send a squad of people to wait for him outside the gate of the Ninth War Zone. Then he himself went to the Ninth War Zone Headquarters.
Xu Dalong called Adjutant Zhang and asked him to arrange a vehicle to take Wei Dayong and the others to the gold mine in Guanglong County. Adjutant Zhang said that he was about to go there and just let Wei Dayong and the others go find him.
Soon after, Adjutant Zhang drove a car and a truck to pick up Wei Dayong and the special forces team members of that squad and left Chongqing for Guanglong County.
That evening, Monk Wei came back and brought back a rectangular brocade box.
Xu Dalong opened it and took a look before calling the boss of Juntong.
Most of the outside calls in the military commander's office are transferred through the switchboard. There is a confidential phone whose number is known only to a few people. Xu Dalong has this number.
The phone was connected, and the boss's deep Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent came from the receiver: "Who is this?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Hello boss, my name is Xu Dalong."
"Hahaha!" The boss laughed and said: "Brother Dalong, you said that you didn't come to see me when you arrived in Chongqing. This is a bit meaningless. "
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "You are busy, I can't disturb you. I wonder if you are free?"
The boss smiled and said: "You and I don't have to be so polite. We don't have time for others, but I am always available for you. Let's do this. In one hour, I will go back to the mansion. You can go find me there and we brothers can have a good drink. "
An hour later, Xu Dalong arrived at his boss's mansion on time.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Xu Dalong said: "Thank you for taking care of Fenghua Trading Company."
Xu Dalong said this because he was very aware of the help You Yukun and Lin Zhongmin provided him. The boss must know about it. Without the boss's approval, You Yukun and the others would not dare to target the Central Unification Chongqing Inspection Office.
The boss smiled and said: "That's nothing, it's a piece of cake."
Next, the two talked about stocks.
The boss said: "Brother Dalong, you are really a genius. The amount of money you invested has doubled almost ten times, hahaha."
The boss was very satisfied with this matter. He admired Xu Dalong's talents in all aspects and valued and was close to him.
Xu Dalong saw that the atmosphere was good, so he took the long brocade box he brought with him.
The boss had also noticed this brocade box before, and he guessed that it was a gift for himself. However, he felt a little strange, because under normal circumstances, Xu Dalong should give himself a gift as soon as he entered the door. He didn't understand what it meant to take it out at this time?
Therefore, the boss looked at the movements of Xu Dalong's hands curiously.
When Xu Dalong opened the brocade box, the contents in the brocade box cast a cold light under the reflection of the crystal chandelier in the living room.
The boss's eyes narrowed suddenly, then widened again, and he blurted out: "Qianlong's royal sword."
That's right, what Xu Dalong brought was the Qianlong imperial sword obtained from Ma Hansan.
The boss picked up the sword and looked at it carefully. The sword was three feet eight inches long. The blade was covered with diamond-shaped dark patterns and had the word "Qianlong" inscribed in bird seal script. The blade was not straight, and the back bone was clearly defined as a line. Its widest point is about half a foot away from the handle of the sword, and then it retracts in an arc until the sword edge protrudes outwards again and then retracts inward to form a sharp edge. The whole body is covered with green light, making it feel as cold as ice and snow, and as if hair is blowing away. The cutting edge feels sharp.
The boss stretched out his finger and flicked the sword lightly, and it immediately made a clear and sweet sound like a dragon's roar.
He said with emotion: "What a sword, what a good sword! It is indeed the sword used by Emperor Qianlong."
Seeing how much he couldn't put it down, Xu Dalong said, "Brother, if you like it, I will give it to you."
The boss was very happy and said repeatedly: "I like it, this is really a generous gift. I'm not polite, brother." He kept playing with it.
After a long time, he remembered something and asked with some vigilance: "Brother Dalong, what are you doing?"
How did you get this sword? "
Xu Dalong smiled but did not answer. After a moment, he said: "Brother, little brother, I am in a bit of a dilemma, and I hope you can help me."
The boss was in high spirits and said: "Brother Dalong, if you have anything to do, just ask."
Xu Dalong explained the tasks assigned to him by his superiors.
The boss's face darkened as he listened. He frowned, raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak. Xu Dalong couldn't let him say no, so he hurriedly said: "I know you must have a way. I'm really in trouble, so I ask the eldest brother to lend a helping hand. As long as the eldest brother is willing to help. , I will also give you a generous gift."
Hearing what Xu Dalong said, the boss also felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, he admired Xu Dalong very much and knew that Xu Dalong was an amazing person who could provide him with great help. If such a character can be maintained, he will try his best to maintain it.
Xu Dalong has already sent the gift of Qianlong's royal sword. He believes that Xu Dalong said that another gift would be more valuable.
So he didn't refuse, but considered it there.
He thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Dalong, do you have any cigarettes on you?"
Xu Dalong knew that his boss had never smoked. Everyone in the military command knew this, and no one dared to smoke in front of him. Now he actually asked me for a cigarette, which showed that this matter was really embarrassing for him.
Smoking is a good means of socializing, and Xu Dalong will also keep a pack of cigarettes in his pocket. When communicating with others, handing over a cigarette first will make it easier to close the distance between the two people.
