Chapter 1037 Egg Dancer

hours later.

Gui Youguang returned to the hotel, and in addition to reporting Chao Hou's whereabouts, he also brought the latest secret message from the Shancheng headquarters.

As a shipping hub in East Asia, the Hong Kong British government's monitoring of the city's telegrams is obviously much looser than that of Shanghai under the Japanese occupation.

As long as the money is sufficient, any commercial firm that owns a radio station is willing to provide telegram service┴, it doesn't matter what you send.

In order to avoid being eavesdropped, the two came to the rooftop of the hotel and talked quietly while watching the Victoria Bay in the distance.

"Deputy seat, there is information from the inside line of the Second War Zone Commander's Department. That person sent his cousin Yan Yiting to start peace talks with the Japanese army in Hong Kong City."

"Is the news reliable?"

"Really, our people installed monitoring equipment in Yan Yiting's home, and the other party talked about it with his wife personally."

"Hehe, I don't want to dance on the egg anymore, but want to smash the egg."

After listening to Gui Youguang's report, Zuo Zhong lit a cigarette, and said something meaningful in a very calm tone, as if he had expected it.

In fact, as soon as he saw the "Time Magazine" in the room and contacted Hase Ryosuke's telegram, he guessed that that person might have hooked up with the Japanese.

One side is a general with a heavy army in his hand, and the other side is an enemy army. When the two are involved together, there is no other possibility except to make peace.

Gui Youguang had also heard the story about the man dancing with the three eggs, so he nodded immediately, and then roughly talked about the content of the monitoring with resentment on his face.

"Yan Yiting said in the conversation that the person told him that the current situation is very bad, and that the committee wants to annex them in the name of beating the Japanese.

Neither sufficient funds nor supplementary personnel and weapons were provided, discrimination was everywhere, and everything was difficult.

The underground party even attacked them everywhere and won over the common people. If the Japanese did something else, they would have to be wiped out.

If they want to continue to exist, they have to find another way. Existence is the truth. As long as they can exist, they can change in any way in the future.

Deputy seat, what do you think that person thinks, even if the commanding officer of the theater goes down, he can still live a life like a master.

What are you doing wrong? If you insist on being a traitor, your reputation will last forever. I see how that guy has the face to meet the first president┴. "

"Ha ha."

Zuo Zhong laughed lightly, flicked the cigarette ash on the fence, stared at the sailboat passing by on the sea and said indifferently.

"It's understandable, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and they have tasted the taste of power, so how can they be willing to stand aside.

There is a saying that p shares decide the head, and what the other party does seems to you to be confused, but it is in the interests of the other party.

Without the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops, the opponent would become a tiger without fangs, who would be slaughtered dead or alive. "

Commander of the theater, Jin Army.

What the two of them were talking about was Yan Baichuan, the first batch of generals in the government, a man of the Republic of China, and the leader of the Jin army.

This former Juren, who was born in a family of small landlords and small businessmen, has been the actual controller of Jin Province since [-] and served as the governor of Jin Province.

During his tenure, the other side made great achievements in industry, agriculture, economy, and culture, and Jin Province was also called a model province by the outside world.

At the same time, it also put forward a "fairness doctrine", trying to make people believe that justice is the standard for regulating the intricate relationship between people, and it is the medicine for saving the world.

The other party wants people in Jin Province to believe in it instead of believing in the underground party and the Guo party—to "use doctrine against doctrine."

So is this fairness useful? After the Sino-Japanese War, the well-equipped but vulnerable Jin army has already given the answer.

In order to avoid being annexed by the government and resist the Japanese attack, Yan Baichuan cooperated with the underground party and jumped left and right among several forces.

However, as the war became stalemate, the opponent had other ideas and began to be hostile to the underground party, fearing that the underground party would occupy the magpie's nest.

Therefore, Yan Baichuan did not lose his head when cooperating with the Japanese.

He has only one purpose - to maintain his own rule in Jin Province, and to be his King of Jin Province forever and ever.

Gui Youguang scratched his head after hearing this, obviously unable to understand this matter with his political wisdom, so he continued talking.

"Yan Baichuan said that weighing the situation, the only way to keep the Jin army is to temporarily borrow the strength of the Japanese. This is a last resort and the only way out.

Some time ago, the Japanese sent a person to live in the second war zone for a few days. The two sides have met and reached a preliminary consensus.

The devil asked Yan Baichuan to send representatives to Taiyuan City to discuss in detail, but the other party thought that it was not the time to openly send representatives to Taiyuan.

Because going to someone else's site to negotiate is a kind of peace, and the status is inferior to others. Apart from losing face, the most important thing is that you can't ask for more benefits.

So Yan Baichuan and the Japanese agreed to send people to Hong Kong City to meet first. This has another advantage, that is, it can avoid the eyeliner of us and the underground party.

Even if the matter is leaked in the end, no matter whether it is successful or not, and without conclusive evidence, it is not good for Shancheng and Northwest to attack the Jin army directly.

According to the analysis of the recordings, the two sides discussed four main points, namely, the Asian alliance, joint defense against the Red Army, diplomatic consistency, and self-care of internal affairs.

Yan Baichuan told Yan Yiting that the first three points are harmless to the Japanese, and Tokyo also hopes that the Jin army will do so, and will definitely agree.

There may be disputes about the fourth point, but we must strive to achieve it. If the internal affairs cannot be taken care of by themselves, the common people will not believe that he is strict with Baichuan.

Without the support of the common people, the Jin army would have no strength, and without the energy to control Jin Province, the Japanese would not sincerely support the Jin army.

Yan Baichuan even said that the first three points are for him to accommodate the devils, and the last point is that the devils will naturally accommodate him. If he is like Wang, he will definitely not do it. "

"Ha ha ha ha."

Zuo Zhongqi laughed, and Yan Baichuan said so, as if he was not a traitor trying to betray the country, but became a national hero instead.

Deceiving yourself and others, you are talking about the other party.

Is there any essential difference between the establishment of the pseudo-government and the dog of the Japanese?

It also takes care of its own internal affairs, and people slowly infiltrate from politics, military, culture, and economy. There is no need to directly control Jin Province, and the pattern of egg dancers is so big.

After laughing at Yan Baichuan, Zuo Zhong asked Gui Youguang if he had any information about Yan Yiting, whereabouts, and Shancheng's arrangements for this matter.

Yan Baichuan had great influence in the Republic of China, how to deal with it was not up to the deputy chief of military command or even Dai Chunfeng, it had to be arranged by Shangfeng.

Gui Youguang nodded, saying that Yan Yiting was originally a timber merchant. After Taiyuan was occupied by the Japanese, he joined the Japanese and Puppet Secret Service and became a guest of honor of the Japanese.

Due to the tense war in the south, the Japanese have not yet realized the importance of the other party's status as Yan Baichuan's nephew, and they just gave it to the puppet government.

However, with the heavy losses in the battle of Jiangcheng, the Japanese already felt that their strength was stretched, and the Jin army became a piece of chicken rib, which is a pity to discard, and it is easy to lose their teeth if they eat it.

Therefore, Yan Yiting became the key to solving the problem in Jin Province, and the devil immediately sent him back to the area controlled by the Jin army in order to contact Yan Baichuan.

The military commander's agents in the second war zone noticed something was wrong and installed a wiretapping device in the opponent's home, and only then did they discover the matter.

After talking about Yan Yiting's basic situation, the bald head said that Shancheng is sending the other party's detailed files and photos to Gangcheng through secret channels.

But the whereabouts of the target, Shancheng did not mention.

The military command is sure to follow Yan Yiting every step of the way in the Kuomintang-controlled area, but in the occupied area, it is difficult to keep track of the opponent's trajectory at all times, unless the opponent stays in a certain place for a long time.

However, Yan Baichuan set the negotiation venue in Hong Kong City for the sake of face and practical interests, playing the "third place negotiation" routine, and found a neutral place to meet. Yan Yiting will not stay in the occupied area for a long time.

As long as the Japanese are not stupid, they will definitely do a good job in the protection and confidentiality of this person in the controlled area. The military commander's trackers can only take one step at a time.

As for how to deal with this matter, Shancheng did not give instructions, but only asked to find Yan Yiting as soon as possible to find out the specific content of the negotiation between the other party and the Japanese.

Zuo Zhong was not surprised by this at all. The political ecology of the Republic of China was very complicated. Even a certain person could not cover the sky with one hand. To deal with an issue, all opinions must be taken into account.

It would be a pleasure to directly announce this matter and deal with Yan Baichuan publicly, but what would the common people think? If a commander in a war zone can surrender, those people who are already at both ends of the spectrum will be even more ignorant.

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, you must not make a mistake and become eternal hatred."

General Zuo Zhong shook his head and turned it off, leaning on the railing with both hands and muttering to himself, it doesn't really matter whether the opponent and the Jin army surrender or not, what matters is the impact on the morale of the people.

After being silent for a few seconds, he felt that he should wait for Yan Yiting's information to arrive before making any plans. Now that he doesn't even know what the target looks like, it's useless to think about it.

The other party's whereabouts are Hase Ryosuke, the Japanese money-adding brother, there should be no problem, the big deal is that the printing factory needs to work overtime and print more yen.

But this does not mean that they are relaxed. According to the information sent by Hase Ryosuke a week ago, the suspected target of Yan Yiting will arrive in Shanghai in 3 days, and then rush to Hong Kong City.

Given the poor railway and highway conditions in the Republic of China, the opponent would most likely choose the sea route.

It usually takes 2 to 4 days by boat from Shanghai to Hong Kong, that is to say, the fastest is 5 days, and the slowest is 7 days. The other party will arrive in Hong Kong.

During this period of time, he and Gui Youguang must deepen their understanding of the city and become familiar with the language, customs, habits, transportation, and social conditions of the city.

Don't pretend to be exactly the same as the locals, at least you must not be seen as a foreigner at a glance. To achieve this goal, you can only rely on personal experience.

After finalizing the preliminary plan, Zuo Zhong and Gui Youguang went downstairs to rest in their respective rooms. After spending dozens of hours in the seaplane, they were inevitably a little tired.

The next morning.

Chao Hou reappeared and took the two of them on a "tour" on Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula on the opposite bank, walking through the streets and alleys, and getting in touch with all levels of society in Hong Kong City.

Through communicating with the locals, Zuo Zhong and Gui Youguang learned Cantonese in the training middle school, and quickly became proficient in it, and it was not a problem to deal with ordinary conversations.

In addition, they also went to the most famous local public places such as teahouses, restaurants, theaters, etc., to familiarize themselves with the internal terrain, and even walked around every corner.

Chao Hou, who was leading the way, was very puzzled. He didn't understand why the two chiefs from the headquarters would do this. With the assistance of the Gangcheng Station, the other party did not need to participate in the action.

Out of curiosity, he asked this question, Zuo Zhong and Gui Youguang smiled at each other, and finally the big bald head gave an explanation.

"We are all operatives. I would like to give you a piece of advice. No matter how high your official position and military rank are in the future, you must be familiar with the places where the target may appear before you act.

In case of an accident during tracking, you need to fill in the seat. As a result, you don't even know where the toilet is when you come to these places, which can easily arouse the suspicion of the enemy.

Don't underestimate this kind of small omission. All big omissions are made up of small omissions. As the deputy captain of the action team at Hong Kong City Station, you must keep this in mind. "

Chao Hou suddenly realized, and then took the responsibility of leading the way more seriously. The three of them spent two days turning around most of the Hong Kong City.

In the early morning of the third day, the information related to Yan Yiting was transported from Southeast Asia to Hong Kong City by air, and the documents were sent to Zuo Zhong by the Hong Kong City Station immediately.
