Agents of the Republic of China

In the middle of the night, the lights in the Yunyou Building of the Huangshan official residence were still on. Chiang Kai-shek slowly closed the documents in his hands, stood up, walked to the window, and subconsciously wrapped his coat around his body.

The city of Chongqing, which was once brightly lit in the distance, is already pitch black. In order to avoid the nighttime air raids of the Japanese army, Chongqing has implemented a blackout at night for a period of time. Seeing the former bustling city become what it is today, Chiang Kai-shek could not help but sigh softly. .

Chiang Kai-shek was very clear about the intention of Jiang Jingguo's words in the morning. After Jiang Jingguo said so much, the focus was actually on that young man named Lin Xiaotang.Because of this, as soon as Chiang Kai-shek returned to the official residence, he ordered someone to find Lin Xiaotang's files.

The whole night, Chiang Kai-shek was flipping through the information about Lin Xiaotang.In fact, there is not much information, many of which are top-secret, including Lin Xiaotang's special training class in Linli and his dispatch to Shanghai after that, and the information after that is all recorded by the military, but it is obviously general and simple Records, and not much of value.

Chiang Kai-shek had heard of Lin Xiaotang.In just two years, this person has changed from an ordinary student in a special training class to the person in charge of intelligence work in Shanghai and even the enemy-occupied areas. On the one hand, it is due to the current situation, but most of it is because this person is exceptionally outstanding. ability, and his rather good luck.

But Chiang Kai-shek didn't feel very good about this Lin Xiaotang.He is also very clear about the contradictions and struggles between Dai Li and Lin Xiaotang, including this National Military Reunification Conference that came into being. Chiang Kai-shek is very clear that one of Dai Li's most important targets is this Lin Xiaotang. The reason is also very simple, because of power.

From this point of view, Lin Xiaotang's impression of Chiang Kai-shek is only a few words: arrogant and ambitious.Dai Li has followed him for many years, at least Chiang Kai-shek can feel his loyalty. Although Chiang Kai-shek has been carefully controlling the balance, including hitting Dai Li from time to time, between Dai Li and Lin Xiaotang, he will choose Dai Li without hesitation.

"A person who takes credit and is proud of himself and has no superiors in his eyes must not be reused." Chiang Kai-shek thought to himself.

Chiang Kai-shek pressed the bell, and Shen Kaiyue pushed the door in. "Seat, what's your order?"

"When is the National Working Conference on Military Reunification scheduled?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

Shen Kaiyue replied: "The report committee, the specific time has not yet been determined. The military command work is formulated according to the content of the military meeting in the base camp, so it must be after the military meeting is held. In addition, some remote areas of the military command are responsible People will not be able to arrive until after the year, so the fastest convening time will be one month later."

Chiang Kai-shek walked slowly to a huge military map hanging on the wall of the office, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly had a plan in his mind.

"This unstable factor should be resolved as soon as possible. Ability is not the most important thing. Loyalty should still come first!"

……

"How should this be done! Zhiji, how can I explain this to Youzhong! It's really done behind closed doors, and the disaster comes from the sky. How can I appoint such a position properly? I heard that Youzhong had already asked Dai Yunong He expressed his position and was willing to give in a step. Why did such a thing happen suddenly? Could it be that he, Dai Yunong, didn't look at Youzhong's achievements in these years, and only wanted to push him to death?" Xiao Shanling's face was ashen, and the words in his mouth were a little bit Nor did he save face for Wang Sheng, or even Jiang Jingguo who was behind him.

Because of his resentment, Xiao Shan was trembling all over with anger, walking around the room like a trapped animal.The situation Lin Xiaotang encounters now is almost the same as the predicament he was in Nanjing back then. He can almost imagine the result of Lin Xiaotang, just like himself, being abandoned and abandoned. The feeling of powerlessness is simply hell.

Wang Sheng's expression was also extremely unnatural. This time, when Chiang Ching-kuo had an audience with Chiang Kai-shek, he tried to attract Chiang Kai-shek's attention to Lin Xiaotang, hoping to break Dai Li's containment of Lin Xiaotang, and to maintain his own faction in intelligence work. share.But unexpectedly, it was self-defeating. Instead, I don't know what caused Chiang Kai-shek's aversion to Lin Xiaotang, and it turned out to be the current situation.Moreover, this idea of ​​persuasion was proposed by Wang Sheng to Jiang Jingguo. Before he came to see Xiao Shanling, Wang Sheng had already been severely reprimanded by Jiang Jingguo.

Of course, Wang Sheng didn't dare to tell Xiao Shanling about this matter. He and Xiao Shanling have a good personal relationship, but he is more aware of Xiao Shanling's hot temper. Old boxing is strange.

"What are you talking about? Is it possible to save it now? After all, the official order has not been issued yet. If you have no choice, I will go to the committee myself. I can't just watch Youzhong in danger. If you fight, I will This worthless old face should also be persuaded to take it back." Xiao Shanling's face turned red.

Wang Sheng hurriedly held him down, "Brother Tie Nong, don't be impulsive. This matter has been notified to the military command, and the base camp and the military command department have been filed. Going to the chairman is not asking for trouble. Don't forget, your application to be transferred to the combat unit has just been loosened. At this time, you must not do such an unwise move."

"Ah!" The expression on Xiao Shanling's face changed, and he sat down on the chair after a while, and slapped his right hand heavily on the table.

……

At this time, Dai Li was also caught off guard. After receiving Mao Renfeng's report, he froze on the spot for a moment. The group of people in the room who were asking for instructions saw that the momentum was not right, and they didn't dare to speak anymore, and silently retreated from the room. .Only Shen Zui's heart moved, quietly stayed behind, and gently closed the door.

"The news is true?" Dai Li didn't seem to have heard Mao Renfeng's whispered report very clearly. He didn't ask Mao Renfeng until he saw that everyone had retreated.

Mao Renfeng looked back and saw Shen Zui standing not far away, with an expression on his face that was calm, but when he turned around, there was a hint of complicated meaning between his brows. "It can be confirmed that the base camp and the military command office have received the order from the attendant's room, with the signature of the chairman, and we estimate that we will receive the order soon."

"Are you sure the order came first?" Dai Li asked.

Mao Renfeng nodded affirmatively.

Dai Li was dumbfounded, "What does the chairman mean? Why didn't the people who mobilized the military command directly greet us, but instead issued orders through the military command office. It's so unusual here!"

Mao Renfeng showed embarrassment, "But this way, you are in a dilemma, Director. Lin Xiaotang is very clear about where his weakness is, and he has already agreed to the conditions you proposed. But at this time, the chairman issued this order, which made things worse. hat we can't run away!"

Dai Li rolled his eyes to look at Mao Renfeng.He didn't know the situation Mao Renfeng said, but now it's hard to get off the horse. The old man cooked the raw rice into cooked rice. What else can he do now besides resolutely implement it.The point is, why did the old man think of such a thing at this time, how did he suddenly become interested in Lin Xiaotang, and the old man actually did such a terrific thing, directly pushing Lin Xiaotang to that place.

Everyone knows that the Japanese are already ready to move. In order to cooperate with the southern army's triumphant advance, the Japanese garrison troops are already planning to launch a new Hunan campaign. The goal is to conquer Changsha and form a siege of Chongqing. Go to that place to execute at this time task like that.Dai Li thought, this is driving people to a dead end!

Dai Li gritted his teeth. The old man had already helped him choose a position when the matter came to an end, so he couldn't help him to pick and choose. Even if Lin Xiaotang wanted to kill him, he could only take the scapegoat and infamy.

Dai Li let out a long sigh, and looked extremely desolate, "As soon as the order arrives, send it to Lin Xiaotang. Qi Wu, you should go there yourself and explain it carefully. Even if Lin Xiaotang and his subordinates get angry, don't take it to heart. .On the contrary, you have to find out what they need, and try to prepare for them as much as possible. If you are going to die, just treat it as our best effort!"

Mao Renfeng's face remained calm, and he nodded in agreement.

……

"Where are you going?" The big head seemed to have been stabbed in the ass, jumped up from the chair, ran to Mao Renfeng, and stared at Mao Renfeng with two angry eyes.

Mao Renfeng's men wanted to stop him, but Mao Renfeng blocked it with his hand.

Mao Renfeng looked at the big head calmly, and read the order again, "Lieutenant General Lin Xiaotang of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission is hereby appointed as the supervisory commissioner of the Commander's Headquarters of the Ninth War Zone, to patrol and station at the front line of Changde, and to supervise the bravery of the Changde defenders. In combat, anyone who misses the battle opportunity or flees from the battle can perform his duties and punish them severely... ".

Lin Xiaotang brought Mao Renfeng closer to the living room, but he never expected to receive such an order.Lin Xiaotang had already sat back in the teacher's chair, looking at Mao Renfeng with a livid face, his fists were creaking.

Chang Huan, Guo Zhui and others also turned pale, and unconsciously reached for the pistol at their waist.

Mao Renfeng's tone was very slow and clear. After reading it for the second time without much effort, he looked at Datou coldly, "Deputy Station Master Cai, did you hear clearly? If not, I can still Read it again."

The big head yelled and scolded, but was called back by Lin Xiaotang, and the big head stamped his feet resentfully, and walked out of the room.

Lin Xiaotang winked at Jiao Da, and Jiao Da hurried out of the living room to look for Datou.

Lin Xiaotang took a deep breath, stood up, walked in front of Mao Renfeng, made a gesture of invitation, and ordered his subordinates to serve tea.

After taking his seat, Lin Xiaotang asked Mao Renfeng directly, "Director Mao, is Director Dai still refusing to let me go?"
