Shadow Spy

Chapter 340 Try every means to block the wall of evil

Li Junhao spent five days polishing and perfecting the analysis report before sending it to Ayers in Washington.Two days later, when I received a call back with praise, I also received a report on domestic political trends.

On December 12, after confirming his re-election, President Roosevelt went to the Caribbean region of Latin America for a tour. He received an urgent letter from British Prime Minister Churchill, saying that to deal with German military power, Britain needed a large amount of weapons and equipment, but the British finances could no longer provide it. Weapons and equipment are delivered in cash...

At a press conference on the 6th, Roosevelt did not mention the suggestion that the United States lend money to Britain or directly provide military supplies. Instead, he talked about a metaphor: "I lent the garden hose to a neighbor whose house was on fire to help the neighbor put out the fire. After the fire is extinguished, whether the neighbor returns the water pipe or compensates for the water pipe is easy to discuss."

Subsequently, Roosevelt declared in a fireside chat (evening radio address) to the American people: "We must become the great arsenal of our democracy" and "I ask our people to have absolute confidence that our common cause will achieve great success"... The American public is in favor.

After these briefings, Ayers sought his opinion on whether to use this opportunity to provide military assistance to the Chinese government, because according to his previous reports, the current Kuomintang government was going further and further down the wrong path, and it was getting more Will the military reinforcements be used against the original allies?

Li Junhao considered that the Kuomintang government was now launching a second anti-communist wave. If it increased military assistance to it, it would inevitably not be used in operations against the underground party; but not giving it would not work. He was afraid that it would not be able to withstand it. Japanese attacks in Central, South and Southwest China.This is a contradiction.

After thinking for a long time, he called back and said: It is recommended to increase military aid to the Kuomintang government, but to arrange supervision forces to urge its generals to use it on the anti-Japanese battlefield; at the same time, to strengthen support for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, so that they can While more capable of fighting the Japanese army, it can also withstand sneak attacks from behind...

The telegram was returned, but it’s irritating to think about it. With allies like the Kuomintang, the underground party is really unlucky!

On December 12, Xiaoyu, who was responsible for liaising with special personnel, received a secret call from Chongqing. He used a set of passwords that had never been used after being written, and the signature was C11.

Li Junhao took the message and translated it himself - C03 was his call sign for Wu Gengshu, the military insider.

The content of the message: "On the 10th, Chiang secretly ordered the 32nd Army of the Gu Department of the Third Theater Zone to move towards Anhui, with 7 soldiers from the 8th Division."

The detailed explanation is: Chairman Chiang secretly ordered Gu Zhutong, commander of the Kuomintang's Third War Zone, to arrange for the 32nd Army (Shangguan Yunxiang's Department) to encircle and annihilate the New Fourth Army troops, using 7 divisions and 8 troops.

Depend on!Li Junhao cursed angrily, what a bastard!It happened anyway.

After ordering Li Xiaoyu to forward the contents of the telegram to Yan'an, he immediately contacted Ambassador Johnson in Chongqing, asking him to pay attention to the matter, and ordered Military Attaché Bao Ruide to question the National Government about the movements of the 32nd Army.He didn't know if this move would work, but if he didn't do it, he would feel uncomfortable.In the evening, Li Xiaoyu said that he was very worried about the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan, but everyone understood that in this situation, there was not much they could do, and they could only wait and see how the underground party responded.
-
On the afternoon of the 12th, the Chongqing Embassy's Military Attaché Office sent a telegram stating that the Nationalist Government's Military Commission responded to the inquiry and said: The 32nd Group Army under the jurisdiction of the Third Theater was a normal deployment, with the purpose of guarding against Japanese troops in Anhui Province.

Li Junhao threw the call back on the table, alas!Just know that this is the case. If the thing doesn't happen, there is no evidence to accuse the other party. But once it happens, the consequences are irreversible. This is a contradiction.

After thinking about it, he called the police station and asked Zheng Pingru to arrange it so that the "Concession Gazette" and the major newspapers in the concession began to report on the National Government's recent anti-communist actions against the underground party, striving to create a wave of public opinion, hoping to give support to that Chiang Kai-shek. Chairman, please increase the pressure!

Li Junhao wanted to warn Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang directly, but he knew that these two people were only executing Chairman Chiang's orders. Even if they didn't do this, there would be others. There were many generals in the national army, and he always You can't give them all warnings, and don't say whether they will work or not. Even the US government won't agree to him doing this.
-
When he arrived at the headquarters the next day, Li Junhao suddenly felt something in his heart. He called Xiaohu and told him the information, asking him to find a way to reveal it to the Chinese officers and soldiers of the 327th Regiment—many of whom supported the Nationalist Government. , just to let them know what this government is doing during the all-out war of resistance?
Since it can't be stopped, let's publicize it widely, put the matter in front of the world, let everyone know about it, and see if Chongqing still dares to do it?
-
From that day on, the National Government's actions of constantly creating friction and targeting the forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were widely reported by newspapers in the Shanghai Concession and quickly spread throughout the country and even Asia.

In addition to the Japanese side gloating about the misfortune, all walks of life denounced this behavior, more critical articles were published, and the celebrities of this era spoke out one after another, which really set off a wave of public opinion.

When Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing heard the news, he was so angry that he threw a lot of things. Many big figures in the Kuomintang also asked him whether the current actions were excessive. The Japanese had not been driven away yet. , Most of China's land is still occupied, why be too anxious?

It has to be said that Mrs. Chiang still has many connections among Americans. She soon found out that the person who instigated this trend was the American Pan Sen who was currently in charge of the Shanghai Concession, so she immediately found "Darling" , told him about it.

Chairman Chiang was very angry and clamored to complain to the United States to replace Pan Sen and drive him out of China!
But Mrs. Chiang told him: "Darling, this Pan Sen is not simple! I just learned from my American friends that this Pan Sen was appointed as the chief assistant to the US National Security Adviser at the beginning of the month, and also served as deputy commander of the US Far East Force. Chief of Staff, while still retaining the position of commander of the Shanghai-Shanghai Joint Command, his status is the highest among Americans in Asia!"

"Hmph! Isn't the chief assistant also an assistant? What's the big deal!" Chairman Jiang said angrily.

Mrs. Chiang knew that he didn't understand at all, so she could only explain: "Darling, he is not a simple chief assistant. He is qualified to take over as the national security adviser. In other words, he may become the first military adviser to the President of the United States..."

"what?……"
