Chapter 975
Zuo Zhong's worries didn't come true. Mr. Zhu Jiang was currently serving as the commander-in-chief of the mountain city garrison, and he held an important position in the defense escort capital, so he definitely didn't have time to cooperate with the military commander's mission.

Moreover, it is indeed biased to describe him as a "Huangpu pig general". At least before the Chang'an incident, the opponent had the reputation of "ever victorious general" during the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition.

But after that, he had no more impressive records, and even failed and ran away on the battlefield, changing from the prestigious "ever victorious general" to "long-legged general".

If you want to blame, you can only blame Minister He for being so harmful. The pig will be Minister He's old subordinate. The reason why he won the battle in the early years is that he dared to oppose micromanagement, all thanks to Minister He's support.

Therefore, after Minister He formed the "Rebellion Army" against someone, Zhu will serve as the front-line commander of the Rebel Army and become the number two figure in the crusade faction.

But he never expected that the matter of Chang'an was finally resolved with Ping, and a certain person returned to Jinling with his whole body intact, and now he, the second head of the He faction, became extremely embarrassed.

Afterwards, the pig general really entered someone's blacklist. In order to preserve his glory and wealth, he obeyed and praised someone, and never dared to oppose micromanagement in the military.

In this way, relying on almost unconditional obedience to someone, the pig will keep its position under the P stock, and the price it pays is to become a human mouse┴ without being marginalized.

Someone's micro-manipulation level is obvious to all. A pig who fully performs micro-management will naturally lose every battle. What makes people speechless is that the more the opponent loses, the higher the official position is, which is really strange.

But no matter how strange things were, it would be no surprise in the government. Zuo Zhong sighed helplessly and closed his eyes when he thought of this. The military command will be very busy with work in the next few days, so he has to hurry up and rest.

three days later.

Gucci's No. [-] Division submitted the screening reports of those involved in the operation. The investigation showed that, except for some people who had financial problems, there was no abnormality in other aspects.

The military command is not the Overwatch Council, and has no interest in anti-corruption. As long as these people have no problem with their position, Zuo Zhong dares to use them. He immediately asked the spies to transfer them with a transfer order given by someone.

At the same time, Lao Dai finally found a suitable office in the eastern suburbs of the mountain city, which was originally a secret camp of the garrison with complete fortifications and living facilities.

These two points are very important. Strategic deception is of great importance. To prevent Japan and Red Russia from inquiring about information, confidentiality is the top priority. It is naturally much safer to have fortifications.

In addition, there are more than [-] foreign transfer personnel and military special agents involved in the operation. If there is no stable water, electricity and logistics supply, everyone may not be able to last for a few days.

What's even better is that there is a large air-raid shelter in the camp. As long as you guard the entrance of the cave, no one will be able to get out after entering. It perfectly meets Zuo Zhong's requirements for the office location.

Working in the air-raid shelter is convenient to control the flow of personnel, and secondly, it is safe. Even if the Japanese hear the wind and bomb it, it will not help. It can be seen that Lao Dai put his heart into it.

After receiving the news from Dai Chunfeng, Zuo Zhong immediately drove to the secret camp with Wu Jingzhong, king of golden sentences, to investigate on the spot to determine whether it was suitable for operatives to station there.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Teacher Cheap, it's that this matter is too important to make a mistake, and if he makes a mistake, the Republic of China will completely lose its key strategic initiative.

On the same day, after confirming that everything was as described by Lao Dai, Zuo Zhong handed over the daily duties to Wu Chunyang and Gu Qi, and asked them to be temporarily responsible for the intelligence work of the military command.

He himself took Wu Jingzhong, Song Minghao, Gui Youguang and the special operations team into the secret camp to inspect and rearrange the internal buildings and communication equipment of the camp.

In order to ensure that the news is not leaked, all the original telephones in the camp were dismantled, leaving only one field telephone line, and all calls will be monitored 24 hours a day.

Anyone who wants to contact the outside world must get Zuo Zhong's approval, including Wu Jingzhong and others. There are no rules, and if you don't obey the discipline yourself, how can you let others obey.

As for the electric circuit and drinking water, Wu Jingzhong, who is careful, put forward two suggestions: setting up a backup diesel generator and sending people to protect the water source, and Zuo Zhong readily agreed.

After the secret agents had dealt with these details, more than a dozen trucks and two cars slowly drove into the secret camp, and the selected staff officers, radio operators, underground party traitors, and senior officers arrived.

Zuo Zhong quickly straightened his clothes, strode to the side of the first car that had just stopped, and stretched out his hand to open the door on the right side of the back row, only to see an acquaintance sitting in the car.

The opponent was Zhang Wenbai, the former Ninth Army commander who had cooperated with the Secret Service during the Battle of Shanghai, and he immediately stood up straight and saluted: "I have a lowly position, I have met Zhang Zhang."

"It turned out to be Major General Zuo."

Officer Zhang, who got out of the car, smiled faintly. Compared with the high-spirited and high-spirited man who was in charge of tens of thousands of troops two years ago, the other party's expression at this time was a bit more desolate.

It is no wonder that at the end of last year, the opponent who had made great contributions in Shanghai served as the supreme military commander of Hunan Province. At the time of the Battle of Shacheng, someone secretly ordered the city to be destroyed and set fire to implement the "scorched earth policy."

As a result, due to the wrong delivery of the order, some Guodang officers in the city panicked and mistook the "Xinqianghe" which was [-] miles away from Shacheng by the Japanese army as the "Xinhe" which was [-] kilometers away from the city.

These cowardly fellows didn't even check the verification, and started setting fires everywhere before seeing the shadow of the Japanese army. The thousand-year-old city of Shacheng was suddenly engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Because the rhyme of the telegram on that day was "Wen", and because the fire broke out in the middle of the night, the fire was called "Wenxi Fire".

The fire lasted for five days and nights, and most of the houses in the city were burned down. More than 2 residents were burned to death, numerous property losses were caused, and public opinion was uproarious.

"People of insight" believed that the military's strategic mistakes and the humiliation of the military and government authorities in Hunan Province were the direct cause of the catastrophe, but they didn't mention someone's order.

As the military and political leader of Hunan Province at that time, Chief Zhang couldn't absolve himself of the blame. He was dismissed by the government.

Zuo Zhong knew that the other party was depressed, but he also knew that the other party had just suffered an unreasonable disaster and would be activated sooner or later, so he didn't dare to show any disrespect in his attitude, so he replied respectfully,

"It's been a few years since we left in Shanghai, and Chief Zhang still has the same demeanor. I'm overjoyed to be able to take orders under the command of the old chief again. If you don't dislike me, just ask me to die carefully in the future.

This operation is under your command, and it will surely succeed immediately. Your subordinates have prepared a room in the camp. You go in first and take a rest. I will report to you after the operation personnel are arranged. "

When China and Japan first started the war, the Secret Service cooperated with the Ninth Army to complete many tasks. The two sides had a certain relationship, and there was nothing wrong with Zuo Zhong calling the other side the old sir.

If you want to get involved in the officialdom, the most important thing is to build relationships, leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, no way out, standing outside the circle, you can't find the temple gate even if you carry a pig's head, if you want to be promoted, go ahead and dream.

Everyone likes to listen to good words, and Chief Zhang is no exception. He who has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships recently heard Zuo Zhong's compliments, a smile appeared on his blunt face and he waved his hands.

"At the end of the day, you don't need to rest. Before you leave, the commissioner told me about your plan. It's very good. It's rare that you intelligence people are so strategic. Let's talk about business first.

By the way, let me introduce to you, this is the commander of the army, Mr. Guo Yizhi, who just came back from the front line. This time, the committee ordered the two of us to come to cooperate with your military commander's actions. "

As he spoke, he waved to a fat middle-aged man who got out of the second car and was wearing the uniform of a general in the Guo Party. Seeing this, the other party stepped up and walked to the two of them.

"Hi, Mr. Guo, I've heard about the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it's really extraordinary."

Zuo Zhong saluted, and warmly greeted the Guo Yizhi that Chief Zhang was talking about, secretly wondering what kind of plan someone was planning and why he was sent here.

He thought so, not because Guo Yizhi fought and failed repeatedly like a pig general, in fact, Guo Yizhi fought bravely and strategically, and fought the Japanese back and forth in southern Anhui.

The reason why Zuo Zhong felt strange was that the other party had a special identity and was an important surveillance target of the military command. There were special agents to investigate closely at all times, and every move was under surveillance.

As for why, Xiao He was also successful and Xiao He was defeated. Guo Yizhi was able to win the battle in southern Anhui because of his close coordination with the new fourth army of the underground party and the joint resistance.

What is even more commendable is that the other party ignored the secret order of the high-level government to engage in friction┴, and also gave a lot of help to the new Fourth Army. This kind of person naturally became an outlier in someone's eyes.

He was treated differently, so Guo Yizhi was quickly dismissed. Zuo Zhong glanced at the adjutant next to him calmly, and shook hands with Guo Yizhi.

Guo Yizhi used to serve in the local government and the army, he had heard of Zuo Zhong's name, but he was not familiar with it, he just shook his hand lightly to Zuo Zhong's enthusiasm, and didn't say much.

Zuo Zhong didn't mind either. It's better to have less contact with such a sensitive person. After withdrawing his hand, he brought the two officers and other personnel involved in the operation to the air-raid shelter.

Everyone walked down the long stairs to the cave, and saw that the air-raid shelter that had been cleaned was divided into two halves by a screen, with some tables, chairs, benches and blackboards on each side.

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Zuo Zhong walked up to the crowd and nodded to Chief Zhang. After getting the other party's permission, he turned his head to look at many staff officers, radio operators, and underground party traitors.

"My name is Zuo Zhong. I think you have heard of this name. I won't say anything superfluous. In the days to come, we will work together for a long time, and we will have time to get to know each other slowly.

Everyone has read their respective transfer orders. There is a very important and extremely confidential task that needs to be completed to bring you here. I named this task "Project Mirage."

After saying the name he gave the strategic deception operation, he sneered and warned the people present: "Someone will tell you the details of the plan later, remember, this is top secret information.

So you must keep your mouth shut. Once the news is leaked, you all have to go to the interrogation room of our military command. At that time, life or death depends on luck. Did you hear that? "

Everyone responded quickly when they heard the threat, and the deafening cries resounded through the air-raid shelter. Then, under the guidance of the little spy, they sat down on both sides of the screen according to the division of labor, waiting for further instructions.
