One after another, things happened one after another, which not only made the Zhongtong side anxious, but also caused their senior officials to be reprimanded in person by the chairman of the committee, because these things were reported to the Eighth Route Army office. The current situation is excellent, but seeing that the Japanese army cannot survive, the Chairman is planning to use the support of the United States and Britain to complete his long-cherished idea of unifying the country. But the recent events in the city not only made Zhongtong tired of coping, but also made him lose face in front of foreigners.
Because of the chairman's rebuke, the Zhongtong side felt great pressure, but they had no clue about what had happened recently. Tang Cheng always attacked at night, and his face was covered. Even if Zhongtong set a trap in the city, he still couldn't catch the slightest clue. But tonight, Tang Cheng did not go out to trouble Zhongtong, because he was going to see an old friend tonight, Xu Huanshan came to Chongqing again! After the last separation, Tang Cheng had not seen Xu Huanshan for a long time. Unexpectedly, this guy came to Chongqing, so he contacted him directly.
The place Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan agreed upon was in a teahouse in the south of the city. Based on Tang Cheng's understanding of Xu Huanshan, he guessed that this teahouse must be a stronghold of the underground party organization. After nightfall, Tang Cheng came out of his backyard as usual and rushed towards the teahouse he had agreed on. In Chongqing, there are not many teahouses open after dark, and they do not include the teahouse Xu Huanshan mentioned. Tang Cheng, who walked through the main entrance, didn't see any lights coming out of the teahouse, so he went directly to the back alley of the teahouse.
Sure enough, Xu Huanshan, whom he had not seen for a long time, was waiting in the backyard of the teahouse. When he saw Tang Cheng sticking his head out from the wall, he immediately waved. Seeing Xu Huanshan's Tang Cheng, he didn't say anything, but immediately climbed over the wall and entered the backyard of the teahouse. "How long can you stay this time?" Since Xu Huanshan is sitting here, it means that it is safe here, so Tang Cheng did not look around to observe the situation, but sat down opposite Xu Huanshan.
Xu Huanshan came to Chongqing this time without a specific mission. He was anxious to see Tangcheng. He just heard that there were not many people left in the action team and even the military camp had been turned into a black market. Xu Huanshan wanted to know what happened. When Xu Huanshan asked Tang Cheng the reason, he did not hide it and directly informed Xu Huanshan of the current situation in the city. "When the Central Commander sees the trouble, he always drags the military commander along with him! You said, even the military commander can hardly hold on. Is it possible that a small role like the action team is still involved in the middle?"
"The best way to deal with the current situation is to stay out of it. Although the action team has ceased to exist in name only, and 99% of the manpower has been transferred, the name of the action team is still there. In other words, I, Tangcheng, are still taking action now. Although the captain of the team does not receive a salary, the position of deputy director of the branch has not been removed. I think this kind of life is not bad now, just take it one day at a time!" Tang Cheng answered with great satisfaction, but Xu Huanshan heard that In his ears, he felt that this was a sign that Tang Cheng was not doing business.
When Tang Cheng spoke, he seemed to be careless, but in fact he was secretly paying attention to Xu Huanshan's expression. Seeing the expression on Xu Huanshan's face at this moment, Tang Cheng lit a cigarette and whispered. "The current situation is changing day by day, and the situation in the city is chaotic. A small role like me should stay at home before big trouble occurs. As the old saying goes, if you jump high, you will die quickly. Those are the unlucky ones who don’t have eyesight. We have known each other for such a long time, do you think I look like an unlucky person?"
When Tang Cheng said these words, he was obviously joking, but Xu Huanshan felt something different. Xu Huanshan frowned slightly and looked at Tang Cheng. He suddenly felt that what Tang Cheng said just now seemed to be reminding him. "Stop guessing!" Tang Cheng, who saw Xu Huanshan's unsteady expression, grinned, "Didn't you contact the Chongqing underground party people first when you came to Chongqing? They didn't tell you about the current situation in Chongqing. ?”
Xu Huanshan has been in Chongqing for several days. The reason why he called to meet with Tangcheng today was because he made a decision after careful consideration. The last time Tangcheng asked him for technicians, Xu Huanshan contacted Yan'an immediately, but there was no reply from Yan'an. Xu Huanshan came to Chongqing this time not only because he had a mission, but also because of the technicians Tangcheng needed. How could Xu Huanshan not know the current situation in Chongqing? He just didn't understand how difficult the situation in Tangcheng was.
Tang Cheng threw the half-smoked cigarette in his hand on the ground, and then said in a deep voice, "I don't know what happened to the Zhongtong side. They have been trying to bite the bureau. They can't find a handle on the bureau, so they Targeting me. Some time ago, my sister was almost taken away by their plainclothes officers when she went shopping. The person living in the South Bank Villa didn’t know if he was possessed by evil spirits, but he was obsessed with Zhongtong. Bian, I have been warned several times."
"Lao Xu, don't say I'm timid. What would you do if it were you? Don't forget, my family is all here in Chongqing. I can't just be quick and ignore my family! " Tang Cheng understood what Xu Huanshan looked at him, so he laughed and teased him, while explaining the pressure and situation he was facing now. Tang Cheng's words made Xu Huanshan speechless, but at the same time he also understood the pressure that Tang Cheng had to bear. If it were him, he might choose to be like Tang Cheng and only be a bystander.
"I guess you must be aware of some of the things that have happened to the Central Government recently! The Central Government is incompetent and can't find anyone to deal with them, so they want to attack me again! At first, they planned to go through the South Bank Villa They put pressure on me to force me to do things for them and find out who was going to deal with them. Later, due to some things, their plan failed, so they sent people to follow me and monitor me, trying to arrest me. Use them as leverage, and then force me to submit."
"I rarely go out now. Even if I go out, I only sit in a teahouse near my home at most. You know, I know many pao brothers in the city, and people from Zhongtong don't dare to cause trouble in their place. I am telling you this just to let you know that the situation in Chongqing is very troublesome and delicate. The Central Command is not only thinking about how to deal with your underground party, but also frees up energy for internal fighting. The Military Command has become their confidant. A serious problem. I see the current performance of the Central Military Commission, and there are many people who want to replace the military commander, and there are many people who secretly support their idea."
"Oh? The Central Commander wants to replace the Military Commander? Tell me carefully!" Tang Cheng said so much in one breath. Xu Huanshan just thought that these were Tang Cheng's complaints. Then the last sentence of what he just said really aroused Xu Huanshan's attention. Xu Huanshan's mission to Chongqing this time happened to be related to the Central Unification. He contacted Tangcheng originally because he wanted to use Tangcheng's channels and relationships to inquire about news related to the Central Unification. Xu Huanshan's reaction and attitude at this moment made Tang Cheng, who had been trying to deal with him, immediately understand that Xu Huanshan's appearance in Chongqing this time was for Zhongtong!
"The Central Commander-in-Chief and the Military Commander-in-Chief have always been at odds with each other. This is something that many people know! But to say that the Central Commander-in-Chief wants to replace the Military Commander is just a guess on my part. I have no definite evidence to prove this. However, since a month ago, the military commanders have successively handed over some of the prisoners they secretly detained to the Zhongtong. Given the incompatible relationship between the Zhongtong and the military commanders over the years, do you think this is normal? " Knowing that Xu Huanshan came to Chongqing this time for Zhongtong, Tangcheng deliberately revealed a piece of news to Xu Huanshan.
However, when Tang Cheng deliberately revealed the news, he did not forget to secretly pay attention to Xu Huanshan's reaction. Sure enough, when he heard Tang Cheng say that the military commander handed over the prisoners to the central commander, Tang Cheng noticed that Xu Huanshan's brows frowned slightly. Although Xu Huanshan's expression immediately returned to normal, Tang Cheng, who was familiar with the other party, knew that Xu Huanshan was very concerned about the news he had just deliberately revealed. "The telecommunications department that the Americans helped to establish has also begun to have frequent contact with the Chinese Communist Party. This is also very abnormal!"
Xu Huanshan naturally knew that the telecommunications department that Tang Cheng mentioned with the help of Americans was referring to the famous black room. If the Zhongtong side starts to contact the black room, it means that Tang Cheng's speculation may not be true, because such key departments are definitely not accessible to just any department, especially if there are Americans involved. Tang Cheng has revealed two big news in a row. Xu Huanshan, who was shocked, was already looking forward to more big news revealed by Tang Cheng.
"And the Nanjing side, maybe because they saw that the Japanese were about to fall, the Nanjing side began to send people to Chongqing frequently, trying to persuade some people to find a way out for them. Originally, the national government was determined not to cooperate with Nanjing. Afterwards, I don’t know what the Central Government did. As far as I know, Nanjing has sent three groups of people to Chongqing in succession, and they have secretly contacted some powerful figures in the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. "
"The military commander was originally planning to attack these people, but the people from Nanjing were protected by the central commander. If the military commander wanted to deal with these people from Nanjing, he would definitely have a conflict with the central commander, and this would completely Offending those people in the Military and Political Department. Do you think these things are normal?" Tang Cheng paused and looked at Xu Huanshan, only to find that the latter had fallen into deep thought.
The things Tang Cheng told Xu Huanshan at this moment are not actually secrets. As long as you find the right person and spend money to inquire in the city, you can get a lot of information like this, many of which are quite explosive. "Old Xu, you haven't said yet, what is your mission in Chongqing this time? Although the action team has been put on hold, I still have some connections in the city. If I need help, just tell me."
