The weather has become a bit cold. Logically speaking, Shanghai would not be like this in late April and early May.
Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of coffee.
For some reason, he couldn't get used to the taste of coffee.
The door to the cafe opens.
A man wearing a trench coat and a top hat walked in.
Well, it has some flavor.
This is very similar to the image of agents that Meng Shaoyuan saw in movies and television in his own time.
As if he was afraid that others would not know that he was an agent.
He came to sit in front of Meng Shaoyuan, lowered his voice and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee.
He didn't take off his hat until the coffee came.
Codename: "Qingcheng"!
Cheng Yiming directly reports to covert agent Chen Rongyang!
Meng Shaoyuan’s classmate!
"The handyman at the consulate is also one of your people?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Rongyang said: "He urgently informed me that you wanted to meet me. If he hadn't accurately told me the secret code for the meeting, I would have thought it was the Japanese testing me."
"I miss you and want to see you."
"You miss me?" Chen Rongyang didn't believe it at all: "I am the person directly commanded by Secretary Cheng. I am in the same system as you, not the same department. Besides, it's not good for you, Master Meng, to be so eager to see me."
"Is my reputation so bad now?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "We are all classmates after all. How is the situation now?"
Chen Rongyang was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly:
"I was transferred to the consulate to supplement the special agent force there. I was mainly responsible for teaching the newly arrived Japanese agents about military command. By the way, I also taught them some Chinese and the local customs of Shanghai.
You know what's so funny? The Japanese already trust me after investigating me, but the Army Intelligence Department believes that my value is not particularly great..."
Meng Shaoyuan also remained silent.
The greatest tragedy for an agent, especially a sleeper agent, is this.
After all the hard work, he completed the lurking and gained the trust of the enemy, but he was evaluated as "of little value".
This has another meaning:
Relegated to limbo.
The core information of Zongyao is completely inaccessible.
There is no way to use all your abilities.
This is sad and ironic.
"Cheng Yiming is a person who has done an excellent job in political work and is also perseverant. Otherwise, he would not have been demoted to Suzhou and returned to his original position in the shortest time."
Meng Shaoyuan was a little helpless: "But the intelligence work on the front line, especially how to lurk, is a little lacking. If it were me, I would promote you to a more important position before you 'rebellion'."
"It's too late to say anything now." Chen Rongyang sighed softly: "I can only use my identity as much as possible to get some information."
"Rong Yang, listen to me." Meng Shaoyuan now wanted Miao Chengfang to be here and tell his classmate what a real latent agent should do:
"Undercover agents, don't try to break open a safe and get a vital piece of information from it, it's almost impossible.
An excellent old agent told me that a truly outstanding lurker must be good at piecing together a piece of intelligence from scattered fragments. "
It's easy to say it, but difficult to actually do it.
"I will try my best." Chen Rongyang didn't seem to care much about this: "Does Secretary Cheng know about our meeting this time?"
"I don't know. I have something I want you to help me with, for the sake of my classmates."
"Tell me, I know that nothing good will happen if Master Meng comes to me."
"I need you to make a phone call for me."
When Meng Shaoyuan said the call he wanted to make and the content of the call, Chen Rongyang frowned.
"How about it? Can it be done?"
"It's not that difficult, but what is your purpose of doing this?"
"I'm on a mission."
Meng Shao's original words are here.
Chen Rongyang silently took a sip of coffee: "Shao Yuan, we graduated from the Hangzhou Police Academy together, but now among the four of us in Shuanglou Club, only you are the best and the fastest promoted.
Now I have become a latent spy who is neither human nor ghost. He Guangtao seems to have offended someone in Wuhan and has been ostracized. Lao Hou, Hou Danliang rebelled. "
"What? Rebellion?"
Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "No way, the Japanese didn't reach Nanchang, why did he rebel?"
"So, if you, Director Meng University, are so proud of your success, why would you care about us past classmates?" Chen Rongyang said with a hint of sarcasm:
"After Lao Hou returned from the police academy, he followed the instructions you taught him to please his superiors. Not to mention, it really worked. His superiors trusted him very much. The power in Lao Hou's hands gradually increased.
As soon as this person has power, he will become evil. Lao Hou raised a girl outside. I heard that his wife had troubles several times, but it was of no use. His boss took advantage of him, turned a blind eye, and finally let it go.
Raising a small child will cost a lot of money, and Lao Hou's little money can't bear the trouble. Later, he set his sights on the mission funds he kept. He had repeatedly misappropriated it, and when the day came to pay the account, Lao Hou began to panic.
It just so happened that there happened to be a "clearance project" in Nanchang. The process of solving the case was very simple. A large amount of stolen money was seized and was temporarily guarded by Lao Hou, who started to think about the money.
He took the money and his mistress and ran away. The thunder above was furious and his bosses were arrested. Last month, Lao Hou ran to Nanjing and officially defected to the Japanese. "
Is there such a thing?
Meng Shaoyuan never thought that Hou Danliang would rebel.
"There is something even more dumbfounding for you." Chen Rongyang glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "Lao Hou told the Japanese that he is your classmate of Meng Shaoyuan and knows you best, so the Japanese still value him."
Meng Shaoyuan was speechless.
Can you still use your own name like this?
He suddenly thought of something: "Rong Yang, why don't you use my brand in front of the Japanese? Maybe the Japanese will also respect you."
"The Japanese have already done an investigation."
Chen Rongyang shook his head and said: "They know that you and I are from two departments, and they don't know much about your situation. Although Lao Hou gained the trust of the Japanese for a while, the secret will soon be exposed."
After saying that, he sighed again: "Shao Yuan, you have the power now. If you have the opportunity, you should pay more attention to these classmates who are related to you. Don't let the time come and you won't be able to see them even if you want to."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently.
"Okay, I can't stay here for too long." Chen Rongyang looked around and said, "I will take care of the things you tell me. For the sake of my classmates, I want to ask you to do something."
"you say."
"If one day I am exposed and sacrificed, remember to help me look after my family. But if I am not dead, find a way to kill me. I don't want to be a real traitor!"
…
Shanghai, Special Office of Military Reunification.
"I understand, I'll get started immediately."
Wu Jingyi recorded all Meng Shaoyuan's requests: "Director Meng, what are you doing?"
"Fun."
"Fun?"
Wu Jingyi shook her head.
Who knows what Director Meng wants to do.
"By the way, a telegram came from Northern Jiangsu. Zhu Yanni and Ye Rong have already set off. Kong Chuanbo and Guo Yongbiao also sent a team to escort them."
"You're trying to flatter me."
When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he smiled: "When Zhu Yanni was here, they had everything they needed to eat and drink. Now that she has returned to Shanghai, they are also worried about whether the supply of supplies will be cut off."
"There is no way, the supplies allocated from above are only so little." Wu Jingyi also felt a little helpless: "Strengthening the armed forces behind enemy lines and attacking the Japanese army's rear areas, the slogans are loud, but the actual performance is not at all.
We are doing pretty well, but I heard that some guerrillas don’t even have food to eat, so they have no choice but to rob the common people. How do the common people scold them in the end? These are not guerrillas, they are more ferocious than the Japanese.
On March 30, the Japanese army attacked Yancheng. Our Yancheng guerrilla column was ordered to harass, but was dispersed. The column commander, Zou Dewei, put on makeup and hid in ordinary people's homes. Guess what happened? The common people tied him up and handed him over to the Japanese. "
"What?" Meng Shaoyuan wondered if he heard wrongly.
The anti-Japanese sentiment in every township and village in Yancheng is also very high. Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be the case?
"This Zou Dewei, before the Japanese arrived, went around grabbing money and food. They had insufficient food and wages, and there was no one to take care of it. As a result, later on, he became more and more courageous, and even developed to rape and dominate women. The status of someone else’s wife.”
Wu Jingyi sighed and said: "The common people hate him so much. They say the Japanese are such a disaster without seeing it with their own eyes, but Zou Dewei is a big disaster.
Those who kidnapped him were his wife's husband and relatives. They placed Zou Dewei on the path that the Japanese army must pass through, and wrote his identity on him.
After doing this, the husband joined the strong men team in the village and prepared to fight the Japanese. No one looked down on him, and no one called him a traitor. They all regarded him as a hero who eliminates harm! "
"It is said that the government forces the people to rebel. This is how our reputation is slowly being ruined."
Meng Shaoyuan said helplessly: "I have tens of thousands of military agents who fought bloody battles and risked their lives to fight the Japanese, but if there are such a few black sheep, how can the common people not hate them with gnashing of teeth?
No one knows our sacrifices. The common people don't know how many major cases we have destroyed and how many Japanese special forces and traitors we have killed. They only know that those black sheep have made them suffer.
You have done a hundred good things, but you only need to do one bad thing. What everyone will remember is the bad thing you did. The whole nation is united to fight the war together. You are fucking harming even your own people. How do you expect others to be of the same mind as you? "
Meng Shaoyuan had no way to solve these things. He had no right to order others what to do. Didn't such black sheep also appear in the teams he commanded?
One rat droppings ruins a pot of porridge, that’s probably what it means!
