Chapter 46 The situation in Beiping
Getting off the bus at Zhengyangmen East Station in Beiping, Zuo Zhong felt that his body was about to rust. It took more than 30 hours from Jinling to Jinmen, and several hours from Jinmen to Peiping. He has forgiven Deputy Director Zheng now. Waiting for the car is really a mother's fragrance.

Zheng Tingbing directed his servants and porters to transport his luggage and goods outside. It seemed that he had already found a market before he came. Several people who looked like businessmen surrounded him and greeted him. Zuo Zhong shook his head and decided to leave him. farther away.

But after a while Zheng Tingbing hadn't come, Zuo Zhong couldn't help walking over and said: "Let's leave quickly, Mr. He is waiting for us."

Only then did Zheng Tingbing realize that there was still business to be done, and he hurriedly talked to the businessman before leaving, but when he learned that only Zuo Zhong and Gui Youguang escorted him to see Minister He, he was immediately angry.

Why did he bring so many people to Peiping, not for safety, but now there are two escorts, this arrangement is unacceptable to him, so Zuo Zhong has to quickly dispatch people.

"Shen Mo, I now have a heavy responsibility. If the Japanese find out that they are coming to assassinate me, can you guarantee my safety? It doesn't matter if I die. It would be bad if the great cause of the party and the country were delayed. At least twenty people are enough. Safety."

Zuo Zhong took a deep breath, he had the urge to beat Zheng Tingbing up.

Impulse is the devil, impulsiveness is the devil, Zuo Zhong said a few times silently, then suppressed his anger, and tried to convince Deputy Director Zheng.

"Director, the Japanese will definitely pay attention when they see you have so many guards. When they know that you are the deputy director of the Secret Service, they will definitely attack you. But there are only two guards, so they won't pay attention. On you, right?"

Zheng Tingbing finally agreed, but Zuo Zhong firmly disagreed, and there was nothing he could do.

Zhengyangmen East Station is adjacent to Dongjiaomin Lane in the north and Qianmen Commercial District in the south, which is the most prosperous area, so there are not only rickshaws but also very fashionable taxis outside the station.

After hailing a taxi, Zuo Zhong asked Deputy Director Zheng's servant to wait at Beiping Station, and he and the others went directly to the Beiping Military Commission.

Deputy Director Zheng was a little unhappy, saying that he didn't have a bath and changed clothes so he couldn't go to see Minister He, Zuo Zhong pretended he didn't hear, and Minister He was not the emperor, seeing that he didn't need to bathe and change clothes.

The three of Zuo Zhong came just in time. He had just arrived at the Military Commission, and Minister He had just returned from a trip. Hearing that people from the Secret Service were coming, he immediately took the time to meet them.

Zheng Tingbing walked in front respectfully, Zuo Zhong stood like a minion and accompanied him in a low-key manner.

Minister He saw Zheng Tingbingle: "It turned out to be Tingbing. I am relieved that the chairman sent you to help me. Dai Chunfeng has introduced the specific situation to you. How do you think about the next step?"

Minister He has so many things to do every day, he has no time to chat, so he directly asked Zheng Tingbing about his work plan, which made Zheng Tingbing dumbfounded.

He was only thinking about selling goods on the way, work plan?I didn't think about it at all, so I had to hesitate.

Minister He frowned. Zheng Tingbing knew that his ability to work was indeed not strong, but you can't have no plans at all, so his face became more and more severe, and he was about to get angry immediately.

Zuo Chong sighed, and stepped forward: "Report to Minister He, the Secret Service has just arrived and doesn't know the situation, we will communicate with Beiping Station first, and then decide on the next step. Deputy Director Zheng has instructed us to Retaliate with fire, but do so quietly."

Zheng Tingbing seemed to have grasped the straw, and quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, that's what I ordered them."

Minister He naturally knew that this young man was lying for his boss, but he couldn't say anything more. After all, Zheng Tingbing was not without roots, but he was curious about the young man in front of him, and he was quick to respond and advanced and retreated. He was a talent.

"who are you?"

Zuo Zhong stood at attention: "Zuo Zhong, Chief of the Intelligence Section of the Secret Service, has an audience with Minister He."

Minister He nodded: "Let's do this first. I'll let someone introduce the specific situation to you. The Japanese are rampant now. You must start working as soon as possible."

After leaving Minister He's office, Zheng Tingbing wiped his cold sweat and said, "Thank you, Shen Mo. Otherwise, Minister He would definitely scold me. You don't know. Don't think that Minister He is like a teacher, throwing a temper to scare people to death."

It’s hard for Zuo Zhong to say anything, you can’t say that you are an old man, let’s serve snacks, we are here to fight the Japanese, what is more terrifying than the pig teammate is that you have a pig boss.

Soon a staff officer came over to introduce the latest situation in North China to Zuo Zhong and the others. In addition to supporting traitors and encroaching on the army, the Japanese also carried out spy activities wantonly, assassinating hawkish officers, patriotic students and gentry, creating an atmosphere of terror.

Many people with weak positions were intimidated by this method and did not dare to publicly support actions against Japan.Minister He even witnessed the assassination by Japanese spies swaggeringly, and then walked away.

After listening to Zuo Zhong, he felt that the Japanese did this not only to intimidate, but also to create trouble. If China counterattacks, they can use this to make trouble.

The current international situation is unfavorable to Japan, but if you pretend to be a victim, you can justifiably carry out military occupation.

Coming out of the Beiping Military Commission, Zuo Chong called Gui Youguang who was waiting outside the door, and the group went to Beiping Station. According to Gui Youguang's introduction, the Secret Service was standing in a courtyard in Peking, and there was no signboard for the public.

As a result, before the car arrived, I saw a group of people standing outside the courtyard from a distance. This was to welcome Deputy Director Zheng. Zheng Tingbing was very satisfied with this, and immediately got off the car to meet Beiping Station.

But Zuo Zhong shook his head. It was a sensitive time, so it was unwise to greet and send him off at the door so blatantly. He took Gui Youguang into the courtyard while everyone was welcoming Deputy Director Zheng.

When Deputy Director Zheng finished his speech at the door, half an hour had passed. Zuo Zhong felt that if there were Japanese spies taking pictures outside the door, it might be enough for Deputy Director Zheng to take pictures.

Deputy Director Zheng went to the prepared room to rest after finishing his speech. Chen Gongshu, the station chief of Beiping, knew the details of the deputy director and who the real executor of this mission was.

"Shen Mo, welcome, I am relieved to have you as an intelligence expert come to Peiping."

Zuo Chong shook hands with him with a smile: "Brother Gong Shu, it's been a long time. How does it feel to be a big official in the frontier?"

It doesn't matter what you said, Chen Gongshu said tearfully: "It's hard to explain it in one word. I didn't know until I arrived at Beiping Station. This is a three-no station. No funds, no talents, and no hope."

Chen Gongshu's words made Zuo Chong amused: "That's why the chief sent you, a general, here. I hope you can open up the situation. Let's get down to business, and you can introduce the situation on the Japanese side."

The information from the Beiping Military Commission was too general, what Zuo Zhong needed was accurate information.At least know who the enemy is, how many people there are, what they are good at, and who the leader is. Knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle.

"It's really hard to say, now the intelligence forces in North China are in a mess, we, the underground party, and the intelligence agencies of warlords everywhere.

The Japanese side is more complicated, mainly including the Aoki Mansion, the special high-level courses of the embassy and consulate, and other intelligence agencies in various parts of the Northeast, navy and army intelligence agencies, and so on. "

When Chen Gongshu said this, he smiled wryly. He is hard to beat with two fists and four hands. The Peking Station of his secret service station is full and there are less than 100 people. In the face of so many forces, all he can do is to sit on the sidelines and get involved rashly. It's history.

Zuo Zhong took a deep breath, the Japanese are going crazy, how much money and resources are spent by so many intelligence agencies every year.He finally knew why the Chinese army was defeated again and again after the war started.Not to mention other things, people have already understood you to the bone marrow, how can you be undefeated.

After being silent for a while, Zuo Zhong said: "Snakes can't do without a head, soldiers can't fight without a leader. No matter how many mountains the Japanese have, they must have a leader."

Chen Gongshu shook his head: "They are all doing their own thing. The Aoki Mansion colluded and ordered a group of frustrated military and political dignitaries and other elites of various religions to openly support the Japanese. The Special High School was responsible for spy operations. The previous assassinations were carried out by the Special High School."

Zuo Zhong was very dissatisfied with the work at Beiping Station. Even if you are weak, you can't do nothing. Such behavior fueled the arrogance of the Japanese and allowed them to carry out spy operations without scruple.

Chen Gongshu is at least half responsible for today's situation, but Chen Gongshu is Dai Chunfeng's confidant, and it's hard to say something serious, so we can only deal with the Japanese first.

Zuo Zhong slapped the table: "They must be beaten so painfully that they are terrified. As long as we make our own voices, no matter how strong or weak they are, they can't treat us like nothing."

Chen Gongshu heard what he meant, and he had nothing to say about it. He also wanted to fight the Japanese, but the operatives under him couldn't explain it. They were either gangsters or gangsters in the past. Let them fight professional intelligence personnel or die. .

But he can't say this to Zuo Zhong. In the final analysis, this is an act of cowardice. Dai Chunfeng can't rub the sand in his eyes, especially for his confidantes. If Dai Chunfeng knows his behavior, I'm afraid. I tried my best to cooperate.

Thinking of this, Chen Gongshu begged: "Shen Mo, you have to help my brother this time. I will try my best to raise the funds and materials needed for your operation. I just hope that after the task is completed, you can say something nice for me in the report."

Zuo Zhong really didn't understand why Chen Gongshu, who used to be aggressive and vigorous, became so bureaucratic and lethargic now. Could it be that the influence of the environment is really so great.

After all, there was some kind of friendship, Zuo Zhong didn't want to see him being dealt with by the military law, he hesitated for a while and finally nodded, hoping that Chen Gongshu could accept this lesson, because the situation would be even worse in a few years.

Chen Gongshu seemed to be amnesty: "Thank you, Shen Mo. I have prepared some cars, thinking that you may need them, and there are still a few safe spots that can be activated at any time."

Zuo nodded emphatically: "Thank you, brother Gongshu, we are short of these, please tell us about the information about the special high school and Aoki mansion, let's act as soon as possible, and teach the Japanese a lesson!"

　Remember the history, don't forget the national humiliation!
