By coincidence, Xu Huanshan happened to be passing through Chongqing on business. Because he had just returned from Yan'an two months ago, he became the investigator for his superiors to verify the identity of the tavern owner. The tavern serves as the contact point to maintain direct contact with Zhang Jianghe and is not affiliated with the Chongqing underground party organization. However, in the case of an informant, the tavern owner can only identify himself to the Chongqing underground party organization and agree to Chongqing’s underground party organization. Underground party organizations verify their identities with their superiors.
When Tang Cheng found this place, Xu Huanshan was talking to the tavern owner in the side room in the backyard. When Xu Huanshan learned about the location of the tavern, his first reaction was to think of Tangcheng. Although the tavern did not tell anything about Zhang Jianghe, Xu Huanshan had already noticed the special nature of the tavern. Xu Huanshan had dealt with Tang Cheng many times. Whether in Shanghai or Chongqing, Tang Cheng had helped him more than once. At this moment, Xu Huanshan even began to suspect that the contact person in the tavern might be Tang Cheng.
But Xu Huanshan couldn't tell Tang Cheng's name in front of the tavern owner. Whether it was because of the confidentiality of the mission or other reasons, Xu Huanshan, as an old underground party member, knew the need to keep the mission confidential. At this moment, he didn't know that the person he was thinking of appeared just across the wall from him. Tang Cheng didn't waste much time. What he was thinking about now was to ask the tavern owner to leave Chongqing immediately. It would be best if even Xu Huanshan could leave with him.
Tang Cheng has never been prejudiced against the underground party. He even took the initiative to help Chongqing underground party organizations. In his heart, he firmly believed that only the Communist Party can save China. But Tang Cheng is not alone in this world. He still has his family to take care of. Coupled with his late father's status as a military commander, to a certain extent, Tang Cheng is actually no longer able to get along with the underground party. All he can do now is to be an unknown person and secretly help the underground party organizations as much as possible.
Xu Huanshan was talking in the room when he heard the sound of heavy objects falling in the yard outside. Xu Huanshan, who was startled, immediately took out his pistol and immediately leaned sideways behind the door. The tavern owner's reaction was not slow either. He immediately squatted down and quickly moved under the window with duck steps, and then slowly looked out the window to the yard outside. Xu Huanshan's waiting and the tavern owner's probe found nothing unusual, and the two of them immediately came out of the house.
I saw half a brick on the ground in the yard, and a paper roll rolled next to the turned head. Xu Huanshan frowned. When the tavern owner reminded him to be careful, Xu Huanshan had already strode over, leaned over and picked up the paper roll on the ground. After Xu Huanshan unfolded the scroll, he discovered that the scroll was originally an envelope. There was no writing on the cover and the envelope was not sealed. Xu Huanshan didn't pause at all, and immediately opened the envelope and found that there was only a piece of paper with two lines of small words in it and a pass issued by the City Defense Headquarters.
"The Central Government has taken a big action recently. It is suspected that there is a traitor within Chongqing's underground party organization! The Changxing Street Bistro has been completely exposed, and the relevant people need to leave Chongqing immediately!" After reading the content on the note, Xu Huanshan calmly handed over the note in his hand. To the tavern keeper. If there was only this note in the envelope, Xu Huanshan might still have doubts in his heart, but after seeing the pass, Xu Huanshan immediately chose to believe the contents of the note, because at this moment, he had already guessed who the envelope came from!
Compared with Xu Huanshan, the tavern owner who had read the note and pass was still confused. He wanted to know who sent the envelope, but Xu Huanshan did not disclose the relevant content. "You'd better leave Chongqing immediately. This pass is just what you need." Xu Huanshan just took back the envelope and the note, but handed the pass to the tavern owner. "I will contact the southern Sichuan guerrillas. As long as you leave the city, they will pick you up."
At this time, the tavern owner had come to his senses. He knew that the situation was urgent and did not refuse Xu Huanshan's kindness. However, when he and Xu Huanshan were saying goodbye, Xu Huanshan suddenly asked him. "The tavern is located on Changxing Street. Is it the military commander Zhang Jianghe who keeps in touch with you?" Xu Huanshan asked at this moment, which made the tavern owner very embarrassed. Zhang Jianghe's existence is independent of Chongqing's underground party organization. Without orders from his superiors, he is not allowed to inform others about Zhang Jianghe's situation.
Seeing the reaction of the tavern owner at this moment, Xu Huanshan knew that he had guessed the answer. Now, Xu Huanshan was even more convinced that the person who just sent the envelope was Tang Cheng. Xu Huanshan is not sure whether Tang Cheng knows Zhang Jianghe's hidden identity, but according to the relationship between Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng definitely does not want to see anything happen to Zhang Jianghe. Therefore, after discovering in Tangcheng that the tavern was being targeted by the Central Government, they notified the people in the tavern to evacuate quickly through the underground party members in Chongqing, and sent them passes to encourage the people in the tavern to leave Chongqing.
Just through a tentative question, Xu Huanshan had guessed the truth, because he knew that only if the people in the tavern left Chongqing, nothing would happen to Zhang Jianghe, and this was exactly what Tangcheng wanted to see most. But what Xu Huanshan didn't know was that Tang Cheng had already known Zhang Jianghe's hidden identity, and Tang Cheng had secretly helped Zhang Jianghe deal with more than one crisis. After sending the envelope, Tang Cheng left here immediately. After going around in circles, Tang Cheng returned to the military camp.
Zhang Jianghe was making tea in the office as usual, and Tang Cheng just chatted with Zhang Jianghe for a while before being called away by Zhao Dashan who had returned from the south of the city. After Lao Fu disappeared, Zhao Dashan became the only reliable old man in the action team in Tang Cheng. There were many things that Tang Cheng left to Zhao Dashan. "Captain, we found that Mr. Lu! But this person is very troublesome. I heard that this kid is hanging out with some people from the military commander. He seems to be the spy for the military commander!"
Tang Cheng frowned after hearing Zhao Dashan's report. This Mr. Lu was not an important figure at all. Tang Cheng arranged for Zhao Dashan to find this person just to investigate some matters. After Tang Cheng pondered secretly for a moment, he immediately told Zhao Dashan, "If you are like this, let this Lu Laosi go first! Since he is involved with the military commander, I will just find the people from the second office when I get there! We already have surveillance on hand. Please compile the relevant information, and I plan to catch them in the next two days."
Tang Cheng's words cheered up Zhao Dashan. Only when the action team takes action can everyone get money. These days, almost all of our tasks are monitoring and tracking, and now we are finally waiting for signs of action. Different from Zhao Dashan's faint excitement, although Tang Cheng already had the intention to take action, Tang Cheng had not yet carried out the specific time and plan for the action, and before taking action, he still needed to talk to Zhang Jianghe.
When I got home in the evening, Hans, who had been to Kunming, happened to come back. After dinner, he came to Tang Cheng and handed the supply list to Tang Cheng. "This trip went smoothly. There were no obstacles like Mr. Ma and the others encountered last time, and I have successfully established a relationship with the British." Hans said to Tang Cheng proudly while lowering the sodium content. "But the British are still as greedy as ever. For the supplies I brought back this time, they want 40% of the sales."
What Hans thought was a disadvantage was nothing to Tang Cheng. After hearing Hans' words, Tang Cheng spoke without even raising his head. "Give it to them, let alone 40%, even if it's 50%, I don't have any objection." After reading the list of supplies, Tang Cheng explained to Hans with a smile, "Didn't we already agree! Let's do whatever it takes. The purpose of these military aid supplies is not to make money, but to build relationships with the British!"
"And the most important thing is that as long as we have these military aid materials in our hands, we can build other relationships. The current situation is complicated, and if we are not careful, we may offend people. If there is no relationship behind it, we are in Chongqing We can't stay here, let alone go to Hong Kong to establish ourselves in the future. Therefore, if we give up this small benefit, we will give up. Compared with our future plans, this small amount of money is not worth mentioning! Don't forget, Myanmar There is more than one gold mine in Beike. If we trade a small one for a big one, we will take advantage in the end!"
How could Hans not know what Tang Cheng said? He just didn't want to be taken advantage of by the British. After the two of them in Tangcheng finished talking about Hans' trip to Kunming, Tangcheng took out the newspapers collected by someone during this period and talked to Hans about the changes in the war in Europe. "According to the current situation, Germany's defeat is a foregone conclusion, unless your leader, Mr., can end the two-front war. Then take the initiative to negotiate peace with Britain, the United States and France, and then use the practicality of capitalism to unite Britain, the United States and France to target The Soviet Union, a socialist country.”
The suggestion given by Tang Cheng was only a possibility, but Hans immediately shook his head. "Impossible! The results of World War I have already been deeply ingrained in the bones of the German people. Even if the head of state can agree to peace talks with Britain, the United States and France, the German people will not be willing. The Germans are not afraid of failure, they just don't want to live in humiliation!" Hans, who had done countless war simulations, knew that Germany was very likely to lose, but the pride in the German people's bones did not allow him to bow to Britain, the United States, and France.
Tang Cheng originally didn't want to argue with Hans about this matter. Seeing that there was a layer of moisture in Hans's eyes, Tang Cheng could only forcefully change the topic. "The changes in the war in Europe will inevitably affect Asia. In particular, the size of the Japanese army in China has undergone major changes. The news I got from the military commander yesterday is that there have been large-scale recruits among the Japanese troops in the Japanese-occupied areas. , the Japanese troops on the front line also rotated very frequently."
