"After the Battle of Changsha, the Japanese army suspended its offensive and launched a large-scale sweep in various places in an attempt to consolidate its rule."
In the morning, during a regular meeting, Qi Xuezhen, the newly appointed assistant to the Shanghai District Director of the Military Unification Bureau, reported:
"In order to strengthen the struggle behind enemy lines, Chongqing jointly established 12 supervision groups in November last year by the Judicial Yuan, the Supervisory Yuan, the Ministry of Finance, etc. to inspect and guide the work of various enemy-occupied areas, verify the use of funds, and listen to the next steps of the work report."
"Enough support."
Um?
As soon as this sentence was said, everyone looked at the speaker.
Meng Shaoyuan!
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Meng Shaoyuan snorted coldly: "Inspection and guidance work? How to inspect and guide? These gentlemen are all staying in the rear. How much do they know about what is happening on the front line? Guidance? They even know where the Japanese are, and they still Check everything. Use of funds? Working behind enemy lines, many accounts cannot be explained clearly.
If you want to instigate a target, you will definitely need to treat guests to dinner, and there will also be a lot of bribes. Do you want others to give you a receipt? Damn it, you bought a batch of weapons and medicine from the enemy, and you told the other party, hey, you have to write me a note, otherwise it will be difficult for me to pay the bill when I get back. You say, isn’t this water in your head? "
Everyone had a knowing smile on their faces.
I am afraid that only he, Master Meng, can say this openly.
"How complicated is the situation in the enemy-occupied areas? Who are you going to supervise, the military command, the Central Command, the civilian resistance organizations, the Fourth Route Army, and the 18th Group Army? If you go to the Fourth Route Army and the 18th Group Army, they will You are a piece of shit. After all, why don't you still check our military and central commanders? These people think they have no sense of existence unless they do something."
Meng Shaoyuan became angrier as he talked: "We have just launched our winter offensive, and they are here to supervise us? Wu Jingyi!"
"arrive!"
"You are the secretary. If they come to Shanghai, you compensate them. Damn it, you don't have to look good on them."
"yes!"
"The supervision team cannot come to Shanghai for the time being." Qi Xuezhen said suddenly.
"Oh?" Meng Shaoyuan was startled, and then he smiled brightly: "You know that my Shanghai is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and you know that I, Meng Shaoyuan, will guard Shanghai with all safety and security. Don't you know what's going on?"
When will District Chief Meng’s habit of bragging get rid of him?
Qi Xuezhen gave a bitter smile: "There are eight people in the Southeast Supervision Team, led by Qu Hualiang, a deputy director of the Executive Yuan. This Qu Hualiang is from Suzhou. After becoming the leader of the supervision team, he did not follow the predetermined regulations. The route set off, so the responder failed to pick him up. Later we learned that he had temporarily changed his route and went to his hometown of Suzhou."
Meng Shaoyuan frowned upon hearing this.
No matter who Chongqing sends to the enemy-occupied areas, the enemy-occupied areas will be carefully arranged, with specific routes, how many times a day, and accurate response times.
Once an accident occurs, it can easily go wrong.
Sure enough, Qi Xuezhen's subsequent report confirmed his worries:
"After the supervision team entered Suzhou, they were received by an old friend of Qu Hualiang's past. This person's name was Sun Jinru, who was from the Central Government. However, Sun Jinru had already rebelled. After settling them in his home, he immediately reported it to the Japanese side. Fortunately, Fortunately, a maid from Sun Jinru's family was still patriotic and notified the supervision team in time.
The supervision team hurriedly moved and retreated, almost escaping before the Japanese arrived. They carried a radio with them and reported the emergency situation to Chongqing. After that, in order to avoid being captured by the Japanese, they hid in Tibet. However, because the Japanese blocked Suzhou, they were unable to leave and were trapped in Suzhou. "
"Let me save you, there's no way!"
Meng Shaoyuan shouted: "Damn it, are you asking me to save people?"
"Yes." Qi Xuezhen couldn't laugh or cry: "There was a call from the headquarters, ordering me in Shanghai District to find ways to rescue the supervision team."
"I don't have time!" Meng Shaoyuan said with an angry look on his face: "You are full, but I am still hungry. Today there will be a supervision team, and tomorrow there will be an inspection team. I don't want to do anything anymore and just hang around them all day?"
He said, his anger still lingering:
"Return the call. The Ministry of Commerce is locked in a bitter battle with the Japanese and has suffered heavy losses. The situation in Suzhou is complicated and we cannot advance lightly. However, the Ministry of Commerce must try every means to rescue us."
"etc."
Wu Jingyi said: "The meeting is here for the time being, everyone should follow the meeting arrangements."
"yes."
Everyone stood up and left.
"Don't persuade me."
As soon as these people left, Meng Shaoyuan immediately said: "I won't save them, I don't have time."
"Shao Yuan, I know you have grievances, and I also have grievances." Wu Jingyi said softly: "But you think about a deputy director of the Executive Yuan. Kong Xiangxi is the president of the Executive Yuan. How can you not save his people?" ? Something happened to a supervision group in Suzhou. If you don't do anything, we will definitely be caught by those with ulterior motives in the rear. They don't understand the situation at all.
Why didn't Kong Xiangxi call you? Because he knows it's difficult for you too, so he simply lets you decide on your own. In the past two years, Kong Xiangxi has been very good to us. He always protects us and looks at the Buddha rather than the monk. Others are not sensible. Don't you have any idea? No matter who it is for, this time, you are saved. "
The only person in Shanghai who can persuade Meng Shaoyuan is probably Wu Jingyi.
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a while: "Where is Mr. Dai's telegram?"
"Didn't Qi Xuezhen read it just now?"
"My sister Jingyi." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "What Qi Xuezhen read was a call from the headquarters. Normally, for such tasks, Mr. Dai would send me a telegram directly. You really think I'm stupid."
"You are smart, there is no one smarter than you."
Wu Jingyi smiled brightly: "Director Dai called, the supervision team includes not only people from the Executive Yuan, but also from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture. Although Qu Hualiang acted absurdly and had no organizational discipline, the matter was so important that he had to be rescued."
At this point, he lowered his voice: "The secret message also said that if you can save it, save it. If you can't save it, you must not let it fall into the hands of the Japanese."
Meng Shaoyuan's brows knitted together tightly.
The meaning of this telegram couldn't be more obvious. There is really no way to rescue them from Suzhou and kill them!
"Sometimes, I really don't want to do it." Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "The head of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau is so majestic, but I am tired, really tired as hell. Many times, my own people are on my hands. of blood.”
"You can do it, you will definitely do it." Wu Jingyi held Meng Shaoyuan's hand: "Although you are shameless and like to brag, in my heart, you are an indomitable hero. My man will never admit defeat. .”
My man will never give up.
"Save, I'll save, but you have to agree to one of my conditions." Meng Shaoyuan leaned into Wu Jingyi's ear: "Tonight..."
Wu Jingyi's face suddenly turned red, and then she whispered, "Can you do it after so long?"
