Chapter 3972 Dead Chess
"Wait a moment." The voice from the telephone exchange did not say anything more, but fell silent. After a while, the voice said again: "No."

"Okay, thank you." Fan Keqin hung up the phone. He turned to Hua Zhang and said, "No calls came in, that's good."

Hua Zhang said: "Is that the insider you developed last time?"

"It's not the last development." Fan Keqin said, "There is already an inside line in the telephone bureau." Then he looked out the window and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming in a few months. Let's celebrate it together. You are from the north, and the custom of Chinese New Year is to eat dumplings, right?"

Hua Zhang smiled and said, "Yes. Do you want to have some buns during the Chinese New Year? But I think the government will not have a good time this year. Now the situation ahead is even tighter for the government."

"It's definitely not going to be easy." Fan Keqin said: "From what we know, it's definitely not going to hold out. Chiang Kai-shek is busy building the Yangtze River defense line. He actually doesn't think highly of the Pingjing defense line, or he and Commander Fu are not on the same page at all. It's not surprising to have to prepare for both scenarios."

Hua Zhang said: "The Yangtze River defense line is not easy to break. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to take it down."

Fan Keqin was not worried, and said: "Now Chiang Kai-shek still thinks that the Kuomintang has an advantage. They have the support provided by the Americans and their numbers are greater than those of the Red Army. But he may not have thought that if the Kuomintang fails in the Battle of Pingjin, then his estimate will be completely wrong. Chiang Kai-shek has some strategic vision, but not as good as yours. In another year, the Kuomintang will be completely finished. When the Kuomintang is finished, your mission should be completely over. What do you want to do then?"

"I haven't thought about it that much." Hua Zhang said: "But it's not over yet. We are together for life. We will continue to struggle and serve the people for life. I will naturally obey the organization's arrangements. What about you? Do you want to leave early according to your plan and go to Hong Kong Island?"

"Yes." Fan Keqin said: "I must go to Hong Kong Island, which is a free port, and if I don't go, the previous layout will be useless. By then, everything will be in ruins. I can maintain cooperation with you for a long time. You will definitely need various machine tools, production lines, equipment, drawings, textbooks, medicines, etc., and our cooperation has been very good. You trust me, and I trust you as well. So the conditions for long-term cooperation have been fully met. I hope you can tell your superiors that you need to build a cutting-edge site in Hong Kong Island, so that our long-term cooperation can be smoother and well prepared."

Hua Zhang thought this was okay, but she also knew that the organization must have its own comrades active in Hong Kong Island. It shouldn't be too difficult to establish such a site. So she said, "Okay, I will report this to my superiors."

In the following days, the intelligence community seemed to have fallen into a strange period of calm. Until this day, when Fan Keqin had just arrived at the Security Bureau, he was called to Sun Guoxin's office.

"The Peace Front has completely failed." Sun Guoxin said directly to Fan Keqin as soon as he sat down: "Commander Fu, they have completely turned to the Red side." Fan Keqin nodded and said: "That is to say, one side is gaining while the other side is losing. The other side's power has greatly increased, while the government's power has greatly decreased? How much have we lost?"

"Most of the main force." Sun Guoxin said: "Do you know what this means?"

Fan Keqin said: "It means that the only natural barrier left is the Yangtze River. The old man is quite capable. He had already begun to deploy the Yangtze River defense line before the battle of Pingjin started."

"It's useless." Sun Guoxin said, "The enemy fought vigorously, and won three victories in three battles in a row, namely Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin. We have been defeated repeatedly, and our morale is gone. Do you know what the most ordinary soldiers in the front said? Damn Jiang Jieshi, you run faster than fucking rabbits, can you stop and fight with me, let us rest!! The enemy is chasing us breathlessly, and we are running away breathlessly. Do you think that in this situation, relying solely on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River can really stop the red army with high morale?"

Fan Keqin glanced at the door and said, "Director, don't say such nonsense. I'll really go through it later."

Sun Guoxin said: "That's right. Now in the government, most people mean this. No one dares to talk nonsense. We have to say that we still have a great opportunity, and we must lure the enemy deep into our territory and show them weakness. Then we can use the natural barrier of the Yangtze River to greatly injure the Red Army.

See? They all have this attitude. I don't believe what they say is true. I don't believe they don't know that the losses in Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin are so huge that they are luring the enemy deep into their territory. But they still have to say so verbally, and they can only say so. But I think we have fallen into a dead end. "

At this point, Sun Guoxin took a breath and said, "Keqin, I really don't have enough energy now. Your sister-in-law is also persuading me to quit if it doesn't work out. I really have this idea. If it doesn't work out, I will just quit and leave. But I'm a little unwilling."

Fan Keqin could tell that what Sun Guoxin said seemed to be true, so he said: "Director, this is actually not something you can control. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of some people, we are big shots. But in the eyes of the higher-ups, we are just small shots. I actually agree with your judgment, but now they may not be able to tell the truth, because that way, morale may be even lower. Even, it will end faster.

During this period, when I was on my way to work and when I was going home from get off work, I could see that the number of cars on the road increased significantly, especially those carrying goods. How many of these people were some of the superiors who saw that something was wrong and made plans to move their businesses? I believe there must be quite a few. So, Director, can't they see it? They saw it, but they just couldn't say it. Some people even said this to build up confidence in the old man, so that he could hold out for a while longer, so that they could have more time to move their businesses away. "

At this point, Fan Keqin changed the subject and said, "Also, Director, you should not retire now. After all, you are the Director of the Security Bureau. It will be more convenient for you to do anything than if you retire. How about it? Before the New Year, the Vice President surnamed Wang helped you introduce the steel mill to a buyer who was willing to pay for it, didn't he?"
