Lost and Spy

Chapter 771 The King of Shanghai
Dai Li had suspected "Gong Changlin" for a long time, but out of various considerations, he never moved him.

He hoped that Meng Shaoyuan could help him verify the identity of this person.

Dai Li's approach was not wrong from his point of view.

But in this way, the entire military command Shanghai station was almost destroyed.

"I was wrong."

Dai Li admitted his mistake frankly in front of one of his subordinates: "I ignored Gong Changlin's determination, and I also ignored the energy that a person can burst out once he finds an opportunity after being suppressed for so many years. One of my personal mistakes almost caused all of you to die for the country, I should review it carefully."

"Mr. Dai is not wrong." Meng Shaoyuan interjected: "If I were in Mr. Dai's position, I would do the same. Every class has a different way of thinking about problems. What I think about is how to complete the explanation from above. The task, Mr. Dai is different. What he considers is how the entire military should operate. There are so many people in the military command, and if any point is not handled properly, it will cause a chain reaction. This is exactly what Mr. Dai needs to worry about. place."

This was telling the truth, and it helped Dai Li to excuse him calmly.

"You are becoming more and more good at flattering." Dai Li smiled: "In short, I am still responsible. Fortunately, I have not misjudged anyone, you!"

He stared at Meng Shaoyuan: "The situation is so critical. At the critical moment, you were able to resolve the crisis in time and save the military command Shanghai latent area. That's very good. Otherwise, how can I face our comrades. But this Liu Chuan, It's really hateful, have you ever thought about how to deal with him, Shao Yuan?"

"I had a meeting with District Chief Zhou and Secretary Cheng." Meng Shaoyuan immediately reported: "They mean to take revenge immediately, but I think that the most important thing at present is not revenge, but whether they can take advantage of this opportunity Those Soviet pilots were successfully sent out, and now that Mr. Dai is here, I am more determined in this way."

"Oh, it looks like you've already thought about it?"

"Yes, even if we found Liu Chuan's whereabouts immediately, it would not be so easy for us to kill him or capture him alive." Meng Shaoyuan replied calmly: "The most urgent task now is to send those Soviet pilots out immediately. Wuhan urgently needs their participation in the war." .Also, since Mr. Dai is in Shanghai now, I am going to send you away together."

"I just came here, and you are about to leave." Dai Li made a rare joke in front of his subordinates: "Success, you are the King of Shanghai, and I am a guest. You can do as you please. I just cooperate with you."

When he said these words, he also passed through his mind for a while, but he didn't figure out how to connect these two things together.

If you think about it, you don't need to think about it. The methods that Meng Shaoyuan came up with often are unimaginable.

"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment: "Well, what is the king of Shanghai, I have never called myself that."

He also has concerns. He has no objection to calling himself "Japanese public enemy" or "the strongest agent on the surface", but it is not a good thing to call himself "the king of so-and-so".

Those in power can give you great power, but only if it is within his control.

Meng Shaoyuan is a crab in Shanghai and walks sideways, but to tell the truth, he is Dai Li's subordinate, and the Shanghai Navy is still under Dai Li's jurisdiction.

Moreover, there are Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming in Shanghai.

I am an inexplicable "King of Shanghai", I am afraid that I have committed a taboo among my superiors and colleagues.

"Why are you getting less and less courageous." Dai Li saw through his subordinates' minds at a glance: "The Meng Shaoyuan I know has always been lawless, and he is not afraid of being pierced by the sky. He has shot you twice. King of Shanghai? What's wrong with being King of Shanghai? Du Yuesheng is known as the Emperor of Shanghai, so why not call me the King of Shanghai?

Now, in Chongqing and Wuhan, there are quite a few people in the military system who call you that, 'Shanghai King, Master Meng'.There are also some people who, whenever they find an opportunity, say in front of me that your life is corrupt, arrogant and depraved. Do you know how I deal with those who say these words?I have sent them to the front line, wherever the danger is, I will send them there. "

Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to say a word.

Dai Li said indifferently: "Why did you do this? I have an account in my heart. People in the rear are used to being comfortable and never know how dangerous the front line is. Whenever they hear some rumors, they will immediately make a big fuss. Just to solve a shocking case, to show how capable I am, something like this happened to the Enemy Engineering Section of the Military Intelligence Department of the Military Commission a while ago, and it almost caused an uproar."

This happened in February of this year.

Zhao Cunliang, a senior member of the Enemy Engineering Section of the Military Intelligence Department, was ordered to instigate rebellion against a division commander of the puppet army.It has been carried out for about a month, and it has achieved great results. The two sides have specifically talked about the evacuation work after the battlefield and the reorganization issue.

During the contact process, both parties could not avoid eating, asking and gambling. Zhao Cunliang even asked the teacher to find prostitutes several times.

I don't know how this matter was known by a certain important official in Chongqing. This important official was also full of food, saying that the War of Resistance was so difficult, and some people were depraved and corrupt in the name of intelligence, and must be strictly investigated.

As soon as the important official made such a statement, Zhao Cunliang was immediately transferred back to accept the review, after trial and trial, he was punished.

The punishment was minor. The division commander of the puppet army couldn't contact Zhao Cunliang for more than ten days. He became suspicious and refused to negotiate any more. He became a traitor wholeheartedly.

During the Battle of Wuhan, the puppet division cooperated closely with the Japanese army and caused great trouble to the national army.

"Originally, the situation would be different, but all the hard work in the early stage was wasted by this important person. Instead, we added a strong enemy out of thin air. These people don't understand the special nature of intelligence work at all." Dai Li sneered. He said: "That important official bought a luxurious villa as soon as he arrived in Chongqing. He eats delicacies every day and raises a little wife outside. Hehe, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps.

This kind of important person is a kind of person, and there is another kind of person. They are our colleagues. They have been on the front line, but they just hang around all day, not doing business, but like to inquire about gossip and gossip.Whenever you get the chance, say that this is not good, that is not good, that a certain person is full of shortcomings, and he must be reused.

This kind of person is the most detestable. Colleagues are just like husband and wife. They need to help each other and love each other, but he just doesn't. Can't see that you live better than him, can't see that you have more money than him, and women than him, He will be satisfied only if he tries his best to pull you off the horse.As for what benefits he can get?He doesn't care. "

Meng Shaoyuan heard that Dai Li seemed very angry today.

In fact, there is a reason for this.

Before he came to Shanghai, Fujian Provincial Security Director Ye Cheng did not buy Dai Li's account, and used the power of Fujian Provincial Chairman Chen Yi to punish Zhang Chao, the military command station chief Dai Li sent to Fujian.

In order to vent his anger, Dai Li naturally asked Ye Cheng to settle the score.

But Ye Cheng was born in the third phase of Whampoa, he was the chairman's aide-de-camp, and he was also the chairman's confidant. Besides, Chen Yi was hooked, and the chairman was also difficult to settle.

When Dai Li approached the chairman of the committee and demanded that Ye Cheng be punished, the chairman disagreed, so Dai Li knelt down.The chairman of the committee accused him of having no personality and threatening the leader.

After Dai Li quit, he wrote a long resignation report and handed it in the next day.The chairman is not allowed.

Later, seeing that the matter was about to turn into a big mess, Hu Zongnan asked Ye Cheng to go to the Northwest to be a teacher, and that was the end of the matter.It's just that this matter has always worried Dai Li.

But from another point of view, Dai Li knelt down for his subordinates, and his subordinates felt that Dai Li dared to shoulder the burden and were very moved.

Tang Zong also commented: "Who can do kneeling and begging, and who is willing to do it without the spirit of what other people can't do."

It is also difficult for Dai Li, who has to be responsible for the normal operation of such a huge organization as the military command, and also has to deal with the complicated personnel relations in the officialdom, and unexpected situations that no one knows when they will appear.

"You people, especially you, Meng Shaoyuan." Dai Li pointed to Meng Shaoyuan: "Every day, you are a person who is desperately carrying your head. Today, I don't know if I will be alive tomorrow. Eat better and live better. , found a few women, it's not a big deal, let's use you as an example, Meng Shaoyuan.

You young master Meng is living in Shanghai, living a luxurious life and lusting after beauty, do you think I don't know?You have admitted it in front of me, but why do I ignore you?So indulge you?The Yanagawa Incident almost wiped out our army in the Shanghai Latent Area. You saved us by yourself. With this alone, as long as you don’t betray the country, I can tolerate you.

Sometimes, character and ability are not directly proportional.So we have had this saying throughout the ages, that corrupt officials are all capable officials, and cruel officials are all loyal officials.Although this statement is not accurate, there is still some truth to it.You just let go and do things in your private life, as long as you don't go too far, I don't care about you. "

Meng Shaoyuan heard this and said: "Mr. Dai, this time I want to take the opportunity of sending the Soviet pilots to transfer my family to Wuhan and send them to Chongqing."

Dai Li was taken aback, and then asked, "Why, are you sending hostages?"

hostage?Meng Shaoyuan really never thought about this level. He just knew that the Shanghai International Settlement would fall sooner or later, so he just sent his family out as soon as possible to be safer.

Dai Li really misunderstood: "Shao Yuan, I have already seen your loyalty. This is also good, send your family to Chongqing, and tell those people with ulterior motives that your wife has been sent to the rear , your loyalty, Meng Shaoyuan, can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What's the hostage involved?Let's do it, since you think so, Mr. Dai, then let's do it.

"Ah, Shaoyuan." Dai Li said again: "You just need to know about my arrival in Shanghai. There is no need to inform others."
