The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 431: Brother is Here
Compared with many people who gave up their personal interests for their ideals and beliefs, Cheng Mo felt that he was not pure enough. There were many underground workers like him.

I never thought about having children while doing underground work.

Children are the weak spot, and the enemy is inhumane...

"Send it."

When the time came, Cheng Mo asked Su Moer to send the message. He waited for half an hour, but there was no call back.

Generally in this situation, the call will not be returned immediately. You can't keep waiting, as this is enemy territory.

Therefore, after a certain period of time, the radio must be put away, and the message will naturally come when it is turned on for contact next time.

Anyway, this is not a particularly urgent matter and does not require a decision to be made immediately.

Cheng Mo still needs to report and communicate with Senior Brother Wen Qiu, and he needs to obtain the organization's consent before he can proceed to the next step.

Christmas is coming soon.

In the secret negotiations, the Japanese are unlikely to make any more concessions, and the Wang Puppet regime will also agree.

Whether this traitorous agreement should be signed or not, there must be a unified result before the end of the year.

Despite this, the Wang Puppet regime still showed no sense of urgency and lived a life of debauchery and drunkenness every day.

Their handsome figures can always be seen in dance halls and gambling dens in the west of Shanghai.

"Give it to them. This is the information about Tan Shaoliang, which is useful to them." Cheng Mo handed a copy of the information to Shen Mo.

"Did the team leader make any cuts?"

"Of course, the information we have is too comprehensive. Giving it all to them would be disadvantageous to us," Cheng Mo said.

Some of the information is completely top secret. There are many capable people in the Military Control Commission. They may be able to infer the location of the insiders lurking in the police station from the information they obtain. Therefore, they have to remove the information that may expose the identity, or use the Spring and Autumn style of writing to gloss over it.

Shen Mo took a look and saw that it was standard Song font. It was impossible to tell who wrote it just from the handwriting. This was also a form of protection.

But we cannot absolutely trust the other party just because he is one of our own. You have to know that the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District has made many mistakes. If it weren't for me, Wang Tianmu would have been arrested long ago, and so was Cao Lijun before. If it weren't for him, how could the Shanghai District be like this now?
As for the North China region, it is still safe and sound, avoiding the situation of being wiped out by the Japanese, and it is all because Wang Tianmu was not captured by No. 76.

The losses of the Military Intelligence Bureau were much smaller than in history, but the losses of the Central Intelligence Bureau seemed to be even more tragic than in history. Basically, not many people survived in the capital area, SH City and party headquarters.

It can be said that this made Boss Xu lose in the competition with Dai Yunong in Chongqing and he couldn't hold his head up.

If it weren't for Er Chen behind the scenes, Boss Xu would have been dismissed and investigated by the old man long ago. He is so incompetent.

……

Regarding writing the article, Cheng Mo had to talk to Wen Qiu in person. It was impossible to explain the matter clearly by relying on someone to pass the message. Tang Tao was also very busy now and was no longer an unknown person.

It was also troublesome for Cheng Mo to meet Wen Qiu.

One is time, and the other is to avoid being discovered.

Even with the protection of Comrade Chen Yougui, it would not be easy for him to meet Wen Qiu. Therefore, Cheng Mo asked Wen Qiu to help him openly, not for his own selfish reasons.

But most of the time, he has too much work to do and needs someone to help him share the burden.

In fact, the Southern Bureau has approved Wen Qiu to go to Cheng Mo to assist him in his work. The problem is how to do it without any flaws or traces.

Wen Qiu needed a proper reason to leave the foreign company where she worked, and she couldn't just go to Cheng Mo all at once. The reason for leaving the foreign company was easy to come up with.

The performance of the foreign bank is not very good. It's the end of the year and they need to lay off some employees and streamline some staff. Wen Qiu mainly does administrative work. As for foreigners and Chinese, naturally they have to keep the foreigners' jobs first, so there is no problem in firing the Chinese.

But Wen Qiu did an excellent job, and foreigners doing business in China naturally needed Chinese people like him who understood the Chinese conditions.

In fact, the German company had never thought of dismissing Wen Qiu, but during this staff reduction, almost all the people laid off were Chinese, including many of Wen Qiu's capable subordinates. This way, Wen Qiu had a reason to quit.

You've laid me off and left me alone, so what's the point of keeping me around? Aren't you forcing me to resign?

So, I just quit my job.

Cheng Mo didn't know this at the time. When he met Wen Qiu, he found out that Wen Qiu had quit her job at the foreign company three days ago.

The Germans gave some symbolic compensation, paying an extra month's salary, which was considered good.

As for other Chinese people who were fired, the most they received was just this month’s salary.

It's the end of the year already, and unemployment is really a huge blow to these people. No money, no job, how can they spend the new year?
However, this is a good thing for Cheng Mo.

The security and car rental companies under his name are short of staff, especially management. Senior Brother Wen Qiu can completely bring these people to join his own company.

With connections in hand, Wen Qiu could start from the middle level. In this way, it would be natural for him to come into contact with Wen Qiu.

"Taxi company, I don't quite understand this?"

"Brother, it's enough if you know management. When you come, you can recruit some knowledgeable people from other taxi companies for me. As for the drivers, we won't compete with others. What we have now is enough." Cheng Mo said.

"Would it be too abrupt for me to suddenly change jobs and careers?"

"It's nothing. Taxis are nothing more than fleet management and fare calculation and collection. Just follow the existing rules. We have fewer cars and fewer people, so it's easier to manage. We can just accumulate experience slowly." Cheng Mo said.

"But how did I get this job, making it look so natural?"

"Brother, do you have any friends who are related to me in Shanghai?" Cheng Mo asked.

"This……"

"If there is, you can recommend it to me through this person. Isn't that natural?" Cheng Mo smiled.

"I'll give it a try. I don't know if it will work." Wen Qiu nodded and agreed.

Senior Brother Wen Qiu’s intention to come over has basically been decided, and the next thing is that the Japanese will ask Cheng Mo to submit a “letter of allegiance”.

Wen Qiu was not surprised after hearing this.

The Japanese action was not surprising. Given Cheng Mo's position, it was unrealistic and impossible for the Japanese to let him go directly there, and it was not in their interests.

The conflict between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Army was simply about power and who would lead and supervise the Wang Puppet Regime.

The Army Ministry also wanted to do this, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs certainly wouldn't allow it. Otherwise, why would Iwai Eiichi go to so much trouble to set up an agency focused on collecting intelligence?
This intelligence agency may even have the power to arrest and interrogate in the future.

Iwai Eiichi even hoped to build this agency into the same existence as No. 76, and to support a secret agency that could compete with No. 76, similar to the two unifications in Chongqing.
