1940, the twenty-ninth year of the Republic of China, the Gengchen year of the lunar calendar.
This year, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress delivered a New Year's Day speech, calling on the country's military and civilians to arm themselves and fight to the bitter end without surrendering or surrendering. They must fight to the last man and maintain the dignity of the country!
This is a general mobilization order.
Fight to the last soldier, do not surrender, do not surrender!
On January 2, Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau, formulated the famous "Gengchen Offensive Plan"!
In this plan, he asked all the armed forces of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau to find fighter planes, take the initiative to attack, and use fearless spirit and flexible tactics to launch uninterrupted assaults to disrupt the enemy's rear.
At the same time, it was announced that upon approval, Wu Jingyi would be removed from the position of assistant to the district chief, and she would serve as secretary of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau, deputy commander-in-chief of the Shanghai District Loyalty National Salvation Army, and director of the Secret Service Division of the Military Command Bureau.
This established Wu Jingyi's position as the second-in-command in Shanghai.
It is said that when Meng Shaoyuan applied to the above, Dai Li was still not satisfied. After all, Wu Jingyi also had another identity:
A criminal who has served his crime well!
But in the end Dai Li approved it. After all, after Cheng Yiming left, the position of Shanghai District Secretary has been vacant.
Someone also suggested sending another secretary to Shanghai, but Dai Li delayed it with ambiguity. If Mao Renfeng ever raised this issue, Dai Li sneered:
"Dear Niang Xipi, this little brat is very bad. He is not a person he is satisfied with. Send him a secretary. He can make him go back to Chongqing naked. I won't be angry with him."
I don't know how these words spread. Those who had been dissatisfied with Meng Shaoyuan for a long time seemed to see hope.
Within two days, a secret letter appeared on Dai Li's desk.
The letter said that Meng Shaoyuan formed a party for personal gain and favored nepotism, turning Shanghai into his private empire. It was so difficult for the headquarters to send a secretary to Shanghai, and such behavior should be strictly dealt with.
Dai Li didn't say much. He first asked someone to find the owner of the secret letter, then found an excuse and threw him directly to the front line.
Isn’t this what you feel after eating enough?
After Meng Shaoyuan achieved his goal, he promoted Yu Yanchu to the director of the Shanghai District Electronic Investigation Department, and promoted his student Qi Xuezhen to the assistant district director.
To be honest, this is really a bit of nepotism.
But Master Meng is the only one in Shanghai, so who dares to say no?
On New Year's Day this year, all the spies in Shanghai District, regardless of whether they are on the outside of the register, will receive double pay. I heard that during the New Year, not only fish, meat, rice and oil will be provided, regardless of gender, each person will be given two packs of cigarettes and liquor. One pound.
This treatment is also unique.
Everyone is happy, the only unlucky one is Li Zhifeng.
No wonder this guy was so talkative. After Wu Jingyi's formal appointment letter came out and was announced, Li Zhifeng muttered: "What do you want as a district chief and secretary? You can just work under the same bed."
Meng Shaoyuan happened to hear these words.
Master Meng has a bigger belly now, and he doesn't give Li Zhifeng special shoes to wear.
In about half a month, people at the headquarters saw Li Zhifeng busy in the toilet all day and responsible for cleaning various offices.
"Captain Li, why did you provoke him?" Lu Chengtian said sympathetically.
Li Zhifeng slapped himself: "I won't talk too much in the future. I was raised by my grandson."
…
"Guo Jiezhong, the captain of the Second Armed Forces Squadron, has a woman outside and helped him give birth to a son."
Wu Jingyi encountered such a thing as soon as she took up the position of secretary.
"You handle this matter, but what should I do?"
Meng Shaoyuan said lazily: "I'm just too lazy to care about these things, so I tried my best to recommend you to be this secretary. Just deal with it how you should handle it."
"According to family law, you will be severely punished."
When Wu Jingyi said this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Meng Shaoyuan. When it comes to violating family laws, if you, Master Meng, say you are second, who dares to be ranked first?
Looking for women and playing rogue, you are the best.
Wu Jingyi still said patiently: "However, Guo Jiezhong's situation is a bit special. He is twenty-four years old this year and is the only son of his family. He joined the army the year before last. Before joining the organization, his family arranged a marriage for him. In the countryside , he is not married yet at the age of twenty-two, so he is very old, not to mention he is the only one in the Guo family.
Later, Guo Jiezhong performed well in Shanghai and was promoted to squadron leader. However, the marriage was delayed, and the woman could not afford to delay it. By chance, his father was seriously ill again, and he wanted to see his son get married before his death, so that he could have a grandson. So the two families After all, they simply sent the woman to Shanghai. As for Guo Jiezhong, he didn't dare to say anything and just lived with the woman. "
"This rule set by Mr. Dai is not humane, but it is the most correct approach. When a spy is burdened by his family, it is equivalent to exposing his destiny to the enemy."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "There are many people like Guo Jiezhong in the organization. They shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the country, but their own family has no descendants. To be honest, I can't bear it.
But family law is family law. Once this is started, it will be effective and it will become uncontrollable in the future. Everyone will find themselves a wife and have children, and at least half of them will not have the courage to fight to the death. "
Seeing the contempt on Wu Jingyi's lips, Meng Shaoyuan gave a wry smile and said, "Don't look at me like that. I know I'm nothing. There are a lot of women, and my situation is different from theirs. I'm a district chief after all, right?"
"Strong words."
"Yes, yes, I am using strong words to defend myself, but I have the ability to protect my family. My wife and children are in Chongqing. The spies, police, and brothers in Chongqing are all my bodyguards. I can do it, but they can't. Ah. Hey, I was almost shot by Mr. Dai because of Zhu Yanni’s matter, let alone the others?"
Meng Shaoyuan's head hurt: "I think this matter should not be made public. The fewer people who know about it, the better. Send Guo Jiezhong's wife and children back to his hometown. They are not allowed to have the surname Guo. His surname will be restored after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Guo Jiezhong, the squadron leader He can no longer be used as a soldier, and he won’t be shot. Let’s transfer him to Northern Jiangsu and let him be a machine gunner.”
Wu Jingyi also knew that Meng Shaoyuan was still protecting his subordinates.
It is also difficult for him as the district chief. People behind him are gossiping about him, and many people want to see him fall. In Shanghai, there are so many annoying things waiting for him to deal with every day.
When it comes to intelligence work, he is a good hand, and there is no task that he can't complete, but he really doesn't want to worry about other aspects.
Before, he had helped him handle those chores, but now it was Qi Xuezhen who was inexperienced and didn't know if she would be competent.
"Let Qi Xuezhen get off work one hour late every day." Wu Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "I have to teach him some things step by step."
"Don't work overtime, it's so hard." Meng Shaoyuan regained his playful smile: "Take it home and teach her it's not the same."
Wu Jingyi really wanted to slap him: "I think you really can't change your gangster temper!"
