Xie Xuan was really confused. How could he lead the underground work in Suzhou when he was lurking in the enemy camp?
Besides, the secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee is Geng Wenzhi. As long as his injury can be healed, he can still lead the underground work in Suzhou.
Xie Xuan is not very familiar with the situation in Suzhou, especially the situation of some party members. If he is asked to lead the Suzhou Municipal Committee, he may be derelict in his duties.
Xie Xuan joined the Communist Party not to become an official. He hoped that the organizational arrangements would put work first.
He felt that with his current status, he had a lot of concurrent posts. The Wang Puppet Government had several posts, and the Shancheng Military Command Bureau also gave him two station chiefs.
In the Wang Puppet Government, he served as deputy director, deputy director, director, and department director, in the Military Command Bureau as a station chief, and now he has to be a minister of the Communist Party. Even if he thinks he has good abilities, he is afraid that he will not be able to do all the tasks.
If there is a position for Wang Puppet or Shancheng, he will definitely take it all, but he is a party member and has to be responsible for the organization.
Gong Bing also felt Xie Xuan's concerns and explained:
"According to the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, all leading members of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China moved to the Huainan base area. The Central China Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China established a work department behind enemy lines. The name in the occupied area was the Urban Work Department, referred to as the Urban Work Department, and was headed by the former Jiangsu Provincial Committee Secretary and Planner. Niu Xiao serves as the minister, and you serve as the special committee member, leading the underground party struggle and united front work in Jiangsu, Shenpu and other enemy-occupied areas. The day before yesterday, the department was officially established in Dawangzhuang, Xuyi County, Huainan base area, and was known as the New Fourth Army Investigation and Research Office. The Suzhou Municipal Party Committee was reformed For the Suzhou Urban Work Branch, you will be the director."
Xie Xuan asked: "Has the organization made a decision?"
"Of course, it's inconvenient for you, so I didn't ask for your opinion first, so I will formally inform you. The organization has also inspected you and recognized your ability. What you are worried about is that it is inconvenient for the comrades who lead the Suzhou underground party. , the organization has also considered it for you. Fang Lin and Gu Jiahan will serve as traffic officers for you, and Yang Zhiyi will set up a liaison station in Suzhou. Then you will be able to lead. By the way, Comrade Xie Xuan, yes Have you ever considered marrying Comrade Gu Jiahan?"
Xie Xuan said: "If possible, I would like to transfer him temporarily."
Gong Bing asked strangely: "Why? Did Gu Jiahan do something wrong? Or do you not like her?"
Xie Xuan said: "That's not true. We cherish each other. If there was no war, I would be willing to spend a lifetime with her. But now, if we are together, I am worried that her happy marriage will affect her underground work."
"You have to believe her."
"It's not that I don't believe in her, it's that I don't believe in human nature. Gu Jiahan is an emotional person. Once she enters a love life, not to mention that she will delay her work, at least her IQ will drop to a certain extent."
Gong Bing advised: "You are at the age when you are talking about getting married. You cannot delay getting married and having children just because you are fighting Japanese invaders. Our revolution is not only for the country, but also for the next generation. If there is no next generation, the meaning of the revolution will not be there." Where is it?"
Xie Xuan said: "Let's wait until she stays with me for a while and others recognize her."
Gong Bing smiled and said: "Okay, this is your business. I just make a suggestion. After a few years, when Little Japan is weaker, I can drink your wedding wine then."
He felt that Xie Xuan was very sensible. If he married the woman he loved and his concealment failed, it would be too much of a loss.
Gong Bing just felt that it was a pity that the two of them were so well matched, worked together, and might even live together, but they couldn't get married, and he was worried around him.
Since he is the director of the Suzhou Urban Engineering Branch, Xie Xuan can directly arrange work.
He obtained all the files of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee from Gong Bing, such as the Brown Rope Shop on Hengjie, which was both Geng Wenzhi's address and the seat of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee's offices.
In addition, Geng Wenzhi's son Geng Sicheng and his future daughter-in-law Zhu Hongmei are both underground party members and members of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee.
Of course, there are also the most important communication codes, as well as the list and residence of underground party members led by the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee.
There is also Xie Xuan’s superior, who is now led by the Central China Bureau’s Urban Industry Department. Gong Bing is in the Confidential Liaison Office and can have direct contact with the central government.
In principle, Xie Xuan will be led by the Ministry of Urban Engineering in the future, but Gong Bing can still contact him directly.
After all, Xie Xuan is registered with the central government.
After Xie Xuan returned home, he said to Gu Jiahan: "Take some time to clean up and return to Suzhou overnight."
Gu Jiahan asked: "Are you in such a hurry?"
Xie Xuan said: "The Suzhou Municipal Party Committee has been abolished and reorganized into the Suzhou Urban Work Branch, with me as the director. You and Yang Zhiyi are both members of the Urban Work Branch. We must get into work quickly."
Gu Jiahan joked: "Oh, then you are Minister Xie now."
Xie Xuan was happy from the bottom of her heart to be promoted with the trust of her superiors.
Xie Xuan joked: "If you want to shout like that, I can answer it, Comrade Xiaogu."
Although he was talking, his hands did not stop and he started to pack up the things in the house, taking away everything that should be taken away.
On the way, Xie Xuancai told her in detail about the Ministry of Urban Engineering.
Gu Jiahan asked: "Both the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee have been cancelled. Does our policy towards the enemy need to be adjusted?"
Xie Xuan said: "Of course, the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee has left Shenpu and arrived at the Huainan base area. This is to conceal and lay in ambush for a long time, accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. After the comrades of the Provincial Party Committee left, our tasks became even heavier. Next, your workload will increase. After all, it is not convenient for me to contact comrades in the urban labor branch, so you have to be my imperial envoy."
"What imperial envoy? What do you think of yourself? At most, he is just your special commissioner."
While Xie Xuan was driving, he took out a piece of information and handed it to Gu Jiahan next to him: "This is the situation of Suzhou party members. You turn on the flashlight and memorize it all before I arrive in Suzhou. You can't make a mistake in a word. In addition, , and the contact code. As for the code book, I'll memorize it for you."
The more responsibilities you have, the greater the responsibility.
Since the organization has put him in charge of Suzhou, he must ensure the safety of all comrades.
These files and materials are the biggest security risks.
No matter where you hide it, it cannot be safe. Only by keeping it in your mind can you absolutely guarantee that it will not be discovered by the enemy.
If they are in a base area, then they only need to protect the safety of the materials.
But they were in enemy-occupied territory and had no ability to ensure the safety of materials.
Gu Jiahan said unconvinced: "Don't think that because you have a good memory, you can underestimate me. Wait until I memorize these materials and then memorize the code book."
Xie Xuan said: "No matter whether you can memorize it or not, all materials must be destroyed before entering Suzhou."
