"Thank you, Commander, let's break up here."
The car stopped, Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette, and then took out a suitcase from the trunk and handed it to Xie Jinyuan: "There are six hundred taels of gold in it. This is the property of a big traitor named Ji Yunqing." . Manager Xu will put you on the ship to Hong Kong. After arriving in Hong Kong, don’t stay long and go to the United States.”
"You want me to take off my uniform?"
Xie Jinyuan understood immediately.
"Yes, Commander Xie." Meng Shaoyuan said in a serious tone: "Your rescue involved too many people and things. Another point is that you are a hero of the party and the country, but you met many workers and peasants in the Gujun Camp. An important figure in the Communist Party of China, the Workers' and Peasants' Party speaks highly of you and even sets you up as a model of anti-war hero in the National Army. If you are imprisoned for a lifetime or even die, you will always be a hero of both the Kuomintang and the Workers' and Peasants' Party, but once you are released …”
Xie Jinyuan showed a trace of sadness on his face.
The former hero, once released, faced something he could never imagine...
"Let's go, Commander Xie." Meng Shaoyuan took a few puffs of cigarette: "In this world, there are some things we can control, and some things we cannot control at all. Are you unwilling? But you have to endure it. If you die, the concession and The Japanese will relax their guard over the lone camp, and your brothers will have a better chance of being saved."
"I die?"
"The Japanese have wanted to get rid of you for a long time, and you know it."
"What about the brother who takes my place?"
Meng Shaoyuan did not speak.
But the meaning is already very clear.
"Let's go, Commander Xie." Meng Shaoyuan threw away the cigarette: "From now on, your name is Luo Guoxiang. Once you take this step, you can never look back."
"Thank you, Mr. Meng!"
Although Xie Jinyuan was not wearing a military uniform, he still gave a military salute in an upright manner.
Meng Shaoyuan responded with a salute: "Take care, thank you, Commander!"
Xie Jinyuan smiled sadly: "You forgot, my name is Luo Guoxiang now!"
…
At 5 o'clock in the morning on April 24, 1941, Xie Jinyuan was assassinated by the traitor Senior Private Hao Dingcheng and others bribed by the Japanese in Gujun Camp. He was only 37 years old.
The whole battalion officers and soldiers cried bitterly.
When Shangguan Zhibiao stepped forward to capture the murderer, he was also stabbed.
After that, Shangguan Zhibiao was successfully rescued in the hospital.
When he received the news of Xie Jinyuan's death, he was not sad, just silent for a long time.
Then, he murmured in a low voice:
"Thank you, Mr. Meng!"
…
In 1942, Xie Jinyuan’s family went to the United States...
…
"This time, it's fine."
Dai Li's words still contained praise: "You asked Li Shiqun to fight the Japanese and also killed the Takamatsu Group. Is it worth it if I cooperate with you and serve as your bait?"
"Thank you, Mr. Dai. As long as you plan well, everything will fall into place."
"Don't brag to me." Dai Li smiled and suddenly asked: "Where is Xie Jinyuan?"
"Xie Jinyuan?" Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "He's in Gujun Camp."
"Still in Lone Army Camp?"
"Yes, he's still here. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Mr. Dai to see him. It's too dangerous."
"You, what makes you so courageous?" Dai Li said slowly: "You chose the location of the attack on Jiaozhou Road. The nearby Xingjiapo Road is the Gujun Camp. Do you really have no idea about Xie Jinyuan?"
"No, absolutely not!" Meng Shaoyuan stood at attention: "I also want to save Commander Xie, but the foreigners are guarding me very tightly, and there is no chance at all!"
"No, no." Dai Li smiled: "Shaoyuan, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you are brave and resourceful. As for you, you also have a lot of tricks and some secrets. It's best to keep them secret for the rest of your life. It’s rotten in the stomach!”
"clear!"
No secret can really be hidden forever.
Dai Li had already guessed what was going on.
But he didn't say it.
He also has his difficulties.
The successful rescue of Xie Jinyuan was indeed the credit of the military commander.
But the problem is that some merits not only have no merit, but may also cause trouble.
Xie Jinyuan is a hero, but this man is too sensitive.
The military commander had formulated several rescue plans, but none of them were implemented.
No one from above came to urge me.
Locked up in a solitary military camp, Xie Jinyuan was the spiritual totem of the nation.
If he comes out...
Just pretend to be confused, let's all pretend to be confused.
It's rare to be confused.
Dai Li stopped asking about the matter: "Shaoyuan, this time Yingzuo Zhenzhao suffered a big loss again. I'm afraid you have to beware of their stormy revenge."
"Shaoyuan understands." Meng Shaoyuan said, "I'm not afraid at the moment. Although the Japanese's influence on the public settlement is getting bigger day by day, after all, they can't do whatever they want. What I'm worried about is what will happen after the public settlement falls."
"What did you say?" Dai Li was stunned for a moment: "You said the Japanese dare to occupy the public concession?"
"Sooner or later." Meng Shaoyuan said with certainty. He sorted out the situation in Europe and the world, and tried his best to express his views without shocking the world.
"Alarmist."
Dai Li was still dubious: "If the situation you mentioned occurs, what are you going to do?"
"I'm already arranging things after the worst-case scenario occurs." Meng Shaoyuan immediately replied: "The city of Shanghai is too important. Even if the Japanese occupy the public concession, it will just restore the name of Shanghai Latent Zone. Only But my days in the future will not be so carefree."
"Oh, after the fall of the public concession, are you still planning to stay in Shanghai?" Dai Li really didn't expect: "Now you rely on the support of the public concession and the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau to move forward and retreat freely, but what about the future? You are the sworn enemy of the Japanese special organization. He is Li Shiqun's mortal enemy. If he falls into their hands..."
"Mr. Dai, after all, I am the district chief of Shanghai District." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I can't live in good times, and then throw away my brothers when hard times come? Mr. Dai, I said To put it bluntly, no one in the entire military system knows Shanghai better than me. I was there when luxury and corruption came, and I ran away first when the storm came. No matter who Mr. Dai arranges to take my place in the future, there will be gossip that is unfavorable to him. "
Dai Li suddenly felt a little moved.
This little bastard is bold, lawless, and dares to do anything outrageous, but he is truly loyal to the organization and himself.
Ability may be lacking, but loyalty must not be lacking!
It's not in vain that I treat him like that.
"Mr. Dai."
Meng Shaoyuan raised his voice slightly: "In order to ensure that we can continue to fight behind enemy lines in the most difficult period, I need greater rights."
"What rights do you need?"
"I need to be able to directly mobilize organizations in Jiangsu and other places!"
"I can't give you this right." Dai Li pondered for a moment and said: "After all, there are leaders in various places, but I can give you another right. In these extraordinary times, you have the right not to discuss the use of local resources with local leaders. !”
