During this period of turmoil, the operation that was jokingly called rat-catching by the bureau chief finally came to an end. During this period, those people who were taken away for questioning by the military commander were all released by the military commander. As for those who have not been released, everyone knows in their hearts that those who have not come back must be what the military commander calls traitors and traitors. Ordinary people absolutely hate traitors and traitors, but in the eyes of some high-ranking people, as long as it suits their own interests, they don't care about traitors and traitors at all.
However, the Juntong's rat-catching operation was extremely noisy. When the case was concluded, Juntong identified as many as 16 people involved in the case. One operation uncovered 16 traitors and traitors hiding in government departments. Many people were skeptical of the military commander's thorough investigation of the traitors and traitors. Because they did not believe that there were so many traitors around them who were secretly working for the Japanese, and among these traitors and traitors, there were faces they were familiar with.
The case was over, but there were still people secretly using this operation to question the military command, and the bureau chief's originally comfortable mood quickly turned sour. Tang Cheng saw that the situation was not good, so he simply took people to Jiangbei. He made an excuse to go to Jiangbei to search, but in reality he was hiding in Jiangbei, accompanying Hans to find places to fish to kill time. Hans, who was engaged in intelligence work, had already advised Tang Cheng to be careful about changes in the situation in the city. Zhang Jianghe had said the same thing a long time ago, so Tang Cheng hid in Jiangbei early.
"There is a lot of talk about Myanmar in the newspapers these days!" Hans and Tang Cheng sat side by side by the river. They seemed to be fishing, but in fact they were discussing the current situation. It was Hans who was speaking in a low voice at this moment. He was half a master of China, and his understanding of Chinese characters was far better than that of ordinary Chinese. "The war in Myanmar is going well. Your chairman should focus on the domestic situation next. There are rumors in the city that your chairman has begun to send people to monitor the Eighth Route Army office in Zengjiayan. The scale of surveillance is relatively large. It got a lot bigger last year.”
When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, the Eighth Route Army established an office in Zengjiayan. Since then, Tangchengbian has rarely appeared in Zengjiayan and its surrounding areas. Tang Cheng didn't know what Zhang Jianghe would do, but he knew that he must not have a fight with the Eighth Route Army at this stage, otherwise he and his family would be in big trouble. Hans' words at this moment only made Tang Cheng frown slightly, but he did not respond. He just waited for Hans to continue.
After spending a long time with Tang Cheng, Hans had some tacit understanding with Tang Cheng, so Hans immediately continued talking. "It is impossible for a country to allow the existence of two forces that can subvert the country. Therefore, I judge that once the final result of the war in Burma is reached, your chairman will definitely take action against the Eighth Route Army. After all, your chairman long ago At that time, I said that before fighting against the outside world, you must first settle down at home! Especially now, the focus of the Japanese army is moving south. I believe it won’t be long before you will find that most of the Japanese troops left in your country are second- and third-line troops. "
Hans's words actually made it very clear. Once the Japanese army in China shows weakness, both the National Army and the Eighth Route Army will immediately enter a full-scale counterattack. Once the Japanese army is defeated, there will definitely be a more fierce battle between the National Army and the Eighth Route Army. Tang Cheng, who understood what Hans meant, had to give a thumbs up in his heart. He admired Hans' analytical ability very much. Tang Cheng then took out cigarettes and handed one to Hans before speaking.
"What you said is still far away from us. Even if the situation you mentioned happens in the future, it will not be controlled by small characters like us. I personally feel that the most important thing for us living in the present is Take good care of your family first, and then be a qualified spectator, quietly watching the performances of those big figures." There was nothing wrong with Tang Cheng's words, but to Hans's ears, it was something else. He had an idea, so he immediately looked sideways at Tang Cheng, with a hint of contempt on his expression.
"Hide? Where can you hide? You can leave by yourself, but can your family leave? And what about Chief Zhang, who you treat like an uncle? What about his family and my family? ?You are already in this middle, and avoiding is not the best way to deal with it! And when the time comes, even if you want to avoid these troubles, the changes in the situation and the people around you will force you to get involved! Rather than It is better to take the initiative from the beginning than to passively participate in it!”
Hans's words sounded very tempting, but Tang Cheng knew in his heart that if he didn't regard himself as one of his own, Hans would never say these words to him. However, he, who still retains the memory of later generations, is far more aware of the subsequent development of the domestic situation than Hans. At the current position, Tang Cheng only has these dozens of members of the action team, and there are more than a hundred war orphans adopted and trained by Master Ma and the professor. With only this manpower, Tang Cheng is really looking forward to it. There is no chance of winning if you participate in it.
After Tang Cheng was silent for a moment, he spoke, "I told you my plan a long time ago! As soon as the war is over, we will go south to Hong Kong! The land I entrusted you to acquire earlier will be the foundation for our future! I believe it. For me, being a rich man is far more comfortable than participating in politics! What’s more, neither I nor you are a person suitable for participating in politics! Because our hearts are not black enough!"
When Tang Cheng talked about having a dark heart, Hans finally laughed out loud. Hans wanted to persuade Tang Cheng to live at the seaside, but he definitely did not want to persuade Tang Cheng to participate in politics. Tangcheng's advance layout in Hong Kong was entrusted to Hans. Therefore, Hans was the one who was most familiar with Tangcheng's next plan. "Then let's make an agreement to become a rich man in the future!" Hans laughed out loud, and then showed a proud look on his face, because he finally got Tang Cheng's personal admission.
As the actual commander of the action team, Tang Cheng could not stay outside the city for a long time. Three days later, Tang Cheng had to take people back to the military camp after receiving a call from Zhang Jianghe. "You're such a laid-back kid!" Zhang Jianghe started complaining full of complaints as soon as he saw Tang Cheng, causing Tang Cheng to roll his eyes at him. When Tang Cheng went to Jiangbei, it was not that Zhang Jiang and his companions were not invited. It was Zhang Jiang and himself who were willing to stay in the military camp. But now they say it was Tang Cheng's fault. How could Tang Cheng bear this blame for nothing!
Zhang Jianghe called Tang Cheng back, not specifically to quarrel with Tang Cheng. The shopkeeper of a shop in the city sent intelligence from the action team, saying that they had found a suspicious target and needed to send someone from the action team to verify. Zhang Jianghe actually contacted the shopkeeper of the tavern, secretly sent someone to verify the target reported by the shopkeeper, and confirmed that the target had nothing to do with the underground party organization. He then called to recall Tangcheng. Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to Zhang Jianghe's expression, did not see anything unusual in Zhang Jianghe's expression at this moment, so he guessed that this matter had nothing to do with the underground party.
Since it has nothing to do with the underground party, then this matter will be easy to handle! Team members who had been resting for several days were sent out by Tangcheng one after another to monitor and track this new target. This time, Tang Cheng did not intend to personally participate in the specific actions, but simply left the matter to Lao Fu and Zhao Dashan. Tang Cheng acted like he stayed out of the matter, but in private he paid a lot of attention to the situation at the military command headquarters, especially the current situation of the bureau. Since the last time he saw Ju Zuo's expression when he came out of the South Bank Villa, Tang Cheng has been worried, worried that Ju Zuo's end will come early.
As time passed, good news from the Burmese battlefield was spread back to Chongqing one after another. The government's confidence became stronger day by day. Everyone believed that they would be able to defeat the Japanese. The Japanese army was indeed having a hard time, especially after the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, Hebei and other places launched large-scale guerrilla warfare. In the so-called actual control area of the Japanese army, both the Imperial Army and the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses one after another, and even Imperial Army troops began to surrender to the guerrilla forces of the Eighth Route Army in an organized manner.
Under this situation, the Military and Administrative Ministry, which had been undecided, finally restarted their guerrilla warfare plan. After they consulted the chairman of the committee, they began to recruit experienced veterans and officers from the national army and sent them one by one to enemy-occupied areas to conduct so-called guerrilla operations behind enemy lines. The military command's intelligence points in enemy-occupied areas also received attention because without the intelligence support they provided, it would be difficult for the personnel sent by the Military and Political Department to establish a foothold in the enemy-occupied areas.
Tang Chun didn't want to leave Chongqing, especially now that the situation was great, he was more willing to stay with his family. After entering midsummer, the farm received a bumper fruit harvest this year. Tang Cheng simply moved his family to a farm outside the city to live temporarily. Zhang Jiang and Hans' family were naturally brought outside the city. Living on the farm was much more free than living in the city. Towards the end of July, bombshell news came that Wuhan Super High School was planning an assassination operation against the Chairman.
The Japanese, who had already foreseen the outcome of this war, seemed unwilling to accept the outcome of defeat, so they planned to make a desperate move to assassinate the Chairman in an effort to reverse the situation. After Tang Cheng received the call from the bureau chief, he immediately rushed to the military unification headquarters to attend the meeting. When he arrived, Zhang Jianghe happened to drive into the military unification headquarters compound. The two didn't speak, just looked at each other, then went upstairs and entered the conference room.
This is not the first time that Japanese intelligence agencies have carried out an assassination operation against the Chairman of the Standing Committee. As early as the Battle of Songhu, the military commander had foiled more than one assassination attempt against the Chairman. After the government moved south to Chongqing, the Japanese and puppet intelligence agencies also planned and implemented the assassination of the Chairman. Tangcheng even sabotaged a raid on the South Bank villa.
