"Director Dai, are you looking for me?"
Meng Shaoyuan, who stood in front of Dai Li, was as respectful as he could be.
Is this still the same Meng Shaoyuan who was idle and smiling all day long?
Dai Li is really not used to it:
"I called you here so late. Are you asleep?"
"Yes, I slept." Meng Shaoyuan did not deny it.
Dai Li said "Oh": "Today is the first day of the political participation meeting. I am busy with official work, and I have been busy until now."
"Thank you, Director Dai."
"I heard that Eucalyptus was under great tension and successfully locked down Rite's hiding place, but was ambushed?"
"Yes, we also injured a brother." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Unfortunately, by the time reinforcements arrived, they had already run away."
"If you run away, you can catch them again. You have the ability." Dai Li didn't care about this matter at all: "But some people run away, but they can't be caught back."
Of course Meng Shaoyuan knew what Dai Li meant: "Yes, the staff also heard that Wu Jingyi and Li Zhifeng were missing."
Dai Li smiled and only asked: "Where are they?"
"How could the staff know where they are?" Meng Shaoyuan replied calmly.
Dai Li still smiled: "You know, you just refused to say it."
"Director Dai has wronged the staff department." Meng Shaoyuan was not panicked at all: "Although Wu Jingyi and Li Zhifeng were once subordinates of the staff department, they were transferred to Director Dai. Naturally, they must rely on Director Dai to take care of them. .
The staff department has been cooperating with the Operations Department and doing its best to detect the Japanese special cases. We can't go back to rescue them, right? "
"Let's not talk about this for now." Dai Li suddenly said: "I've been so busy that I haven't even had a bite of real food. Can you have a drink with me?"
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.
Dai Li drinks a lot, and I have learned this before. Three Meng Shaoyuans can't drink enough of one Dai Li.
But he suddenly wants to drink?
And now?
"Why, you don't even want to drink with me?" Dai Li asked.
"No, the staff just happened to be a little hungry."
Dai Li took out a package of peanuts, a package of soy sauce beef, and two bottles of Maotai wine that he had prepared a long time ago.
Then he poured wine into the tea cup: "We haven't had a drink together for a long time, come on, let's do it."
"Thank you, Director Dai." Meng Shaoyuan drank it all in one gulp.
"I remember that year, you were still a minor player, and we could still have a good time over wine and chat at Tang Zong's house." Dai Li sighed: "But now, it has become so difficult for us to find opportunities to sit down and have a drink together. "
Meng Shaoyuan said: "Director Dai is busy with official duties, so naturally he has no time."
"Shaoyuan." Dai Li said leisurely: "I'm not at work now, and there are no outsiders. Can we stop talking about these official things?"
Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently.
"Shaoyuan, how did our relationship become like this?" Dai Li said in a daze: "At that time, you were charging on the front line, and I was supporting you from behind. No matter how much trouble you caused, I had to think about it. I'll help you survive.
Sometimes, I am really angry with you and wish I could shoot you. But this anger will dissipate in a short time. You are my best subordinate, and I can be considered a good boss, right? "
"You are the best boss." Meng Shaoyuan's words were not complimentary at all: "I, Meng Shaoyuan, can only work under you. Really, I am not flattering you. Because you trust me and support me unconditionally.
In a different environment and a different boss, there would be no Meng Shaoyuan, and Meng Shaoyuan wouldn't even be alive today. "
Dai Li nodded slightly: "Especially, after I learned that you are Xing Weng's son, I was really happy. After all, you are also my nephew. I always thought that we can work together for many years with this relationship. But tell me, why has it become like this between us now?"
Meng Shaoyuan no longer concealed anything: "Director Dai, in fact, this is not surprising at all. When the country is in danger, many people unite, fight side by side, and help each other.
When the crisis is relieved, everyone's differences in philosophy will turn into conflicts. Especially as a person's status and surrounding environment change, his psychology will naturally change.
For example, Ding Wenrui, how good a soldier was he when he was in the expeditionary force? I fought with him side by side, and I dared to give him my back. But what I regret most is that I brought him into the army.
He suddenly went from a war-torn battlefield to another completely unfamiliar battlefield, and his entire mentality completely changed. Everything was unfamiliar to him, and the concepts between him and me were completely different, so in the end, he and I stood on opposite sides.
Sometimes I also regret it, what if I still let him stay in the army? Although his hand is disabled, there must be a job suitable for him. Then, decades later, when we are all old, we can still sit together and drink tea and recall the past. Unfortunately, we can't start all over again. "
"You mean, you and I also have different ideas?" Dai Li asked.
Seeing that Meng Shaoyuan didn't speak, Dai Li added: "No matter what we say today, it is limited to this. Even if you scold me in front of me, I will never pursue it."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently: "Yes, Director Dai, you are the best boss and the best teacher, but you and I have different ideas. Director Dai, have you thought about the future?"
future?
Dai Li didn't quite understand what he meant.
"The war of resistance will definitely be won." Meng Shaoyuan said firmly, but then he changed the topic: "What about us after the victory? What should we do? Once you enter this door, you will be a lifelong military leader.
Over the years, I have offended too many people, and you have offended too many people too. As I said before, in times of crisis, conflicts will be buried. When there is peace, all conflicts will break out.
When I was in Shanghai, there were constant gossips in the rear area, but after all, I did not directly come into contact with the interests of certain people, so they could tolerate me.
But when I retreated to the rear, even if it was not my intention, I continued to touch the interests of those people, such as Qiaokou Warehouse. Is the eucalyptus in Qiaokou Warehouse broken? It’s broken, but it’s not broken!
You know there are people behind Qiaokou Warehouse, but our abilities are limited and we cannot bring them to justice. These people who are at large, do you think they will spare me?
If I am to be more alarmist, I will be the first one they deal with, and then it will be your turn. Sooner or later we will die in their hands. You and I have no way to save ourselves! "
What Meng Shaoyuan said was very sharp and harsh.
Dai Li knew that everything he said today was from his heart.
He was silent for a while and said, "So, is this the reason why you are planning to escape? Because you are also afraid of death?"
