Cicada Moving

Chapter 1312 Duel

Not long after Zuo Chong returned to the office, he received a phone call. The caller was also a member of the Central Executive Committee. His surname was Ji. He was the backstage minister of Xiaokai. He was a minister of a certain Qingshui Yamen in the national government. He had some qualifications, but had long been marginalized.

This person had dealt with Zuo Zhong several times, and the two could not be said to be familiar with each other. At most, they were just acquaintances. After all, their positions were very different in terms of power.

While recalling the details of the Inspector, Zuo Zhong guessed the purpose of the call, whether it was to accuse him or to plead for mercy. In the end, he decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes and wait for the Inspector to speak first.

In addition, Wu Jingzhong has not come back to reply to the order, probably because of Xingji's obstruction.

Just as he was thinking about it, a soft laughter sounded from the phone, which made Zuo Zhong frown. This kind of officialdom veteran was the most difficult to deal with.

"Haha, are you Deputy Director Zuo? I'm Laoji."

"Hello, Chief Inspector, is this call due to official business that requires the cooperation of the military commander?"

(If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have something to say, please play it quickly)

"It's not official business. Deputy Director Zuo's reputation is well known here. Ji wants to invite you to dinner in Taiwan tomorrow. Can I give you a favor?"

(You have crossed the line. Can you give me face and expose this matter?)

"I'm really sorry. Brother, I just came back from the appointment. I still have some important business to do tomorrow. I can only have a drink with you next time, brother."

(Who do you think you are? You dare to ask for face from me. This matter is unacceptable, but I am not targeting you.)

After hearing Zuo Zhong's words, the Inspector was silent for a while, as if he was weighing whether it was worth offending Zuo Zhong for a white glove. After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"That being the case, that's all. I heard that the military commander has been short of funds recently. Do you need some support from your brothers?"

(Does your military commander want people or money?)

"Thank you for your concern, brother, but the funds are not needed. Our military commander is a special agency and has its own economic discipline."

(Just leave the person to me, and you take the money)

As soon as he said this, Director Ji's attitude softened, he laughed and said goodbye to Zuo Zhong, and completely gave up rescuing Xiao Kai.

Zuo Zhong hung up the phone and let out a sneer. If you have money, can you do whatever you want? It might be possible in other places, but it doesn't work here.

A mere businessman bared his teeth against a powerful agency. He really didn't know how to live or die. To be a dog, you must have the consciousness to be a dog, otherwise you will die in an ugly way.

Time flew by and it was New Year's Day in 1942.

Everyone in the mountain city was immersed in the joy of the New Year. No one noticed that there was a missing family in the city. Even if they did, it didn't matter. In such a time of war and chaos, anything that happened was normal.

On New Year's Day, representatives of 26 countries including the Republic of China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Red Russia signed the "United Nations Declaration" in Washington. This declaration marked the formal formation of the international anti-Germany-Japanese-Italian alliance.

A few days later, after intense preparations, a hidden location in the mountain city of Gele Mountain, where China-US special technology cooperation is located, was listed.

Dai Chunfeng concurrently serves as the director of the cooperation institute, Zuo Zhong serves as the Chinese deputy director, and the US deputy director is tentatively designated as ONI's senior intelligence officer Mellos.

Yes, just like the King of Golden Phrases: The reason why Americans win wars is because Melos has a family in his heart, but the other party has not yet taken office.

According to the preliminary plan, the Sino-U.S. Cooperation Institute will be divided into six groups: blasting, interpretation, technology, intelligence, communications, and general affairs.

The first to start operating was the meteorological team in the technical group. The United States shipped a large amount of equipment and technical personnel to help the government establish weather stations in mountain towns and several cities.

These weather stations will work with the Air Force and meteorological research institutions of Academia Sinica to form a modern weather observation network to provide support for the military operations of the Korean Army and the US Army.

In order to prevent sabotage by Japanese spies, the Guo army deployed a large number of guards around all weather stations to prohibit irrelevant personnel from entering and exiting.

But whatever you fear, come what may. The first weather station located on the outskirts of the mountain city was put into use less than three days ago. On the eve of Melos's arrival in the mountain city, a group of well-equipped masked men came outside the weather station.

Several patrolling guards were walking on the path at night. One of them suddenly turned his head to look at the roadside. There seemed to be something moving in the dark trees, and there were constant rustling sounds.

The guards looked nervous and aimed their guns in the direction of the sound, with their fingers on the triggers ready to fire.

"Woof woof woof~"

A wild dog jumped out of the bushes and barked twice, then tucked its tail and ran away.

Several guards secretly shouted bad luck, cursed, turned off the safety, and put away their guns. Unexpectedly, a dozen black shadows quietly appeared around them. These black shadows covered the mouths of the guards with one hand and stabbed the daggers with cold light at the target.

Half an hour later.

Accompanied by a burst of gunfire, the weather station, which had cost a lot of money, manpower and material resources to build, exploded violently. Orange fire lit up the sky. The movement was so loud that it could be clearly seen from more than ten miles away.

Five minutes after the explosion, the first rescue forces arrived. Nearby engineering troops braved the raging fire to move several machines out of the scene, but no survivors were found during the process.

In the weather station, more than 30 staff members, including American engineers, were all killed, including five military special agents responsible for internal security.

The fire brigade that arrived later extinguished the fire without forgetting to protect the scene. After several years of bombing, the professional level of the Shancheng fire brigade was second to none in the Kuomintang-controlled area. This has to be said to be a dark humor.

Since the case involved Americans, the matter was quickly reported to the Huangshan official residence. When someone learned about it, he became furious and immediately convened a meeting with relevant personnel.

After the aide-de-camp finished reporting the case, the minister named Ji muttered angrily: "They say the military commanders are the elite of the government, but I think they are just useless trash."

Just at this time, the conference room returned to silence. Everyone heard this sentence. Looking at the Inspector who was pretending to be calm, everyone present gave the other party a thumbs up in their hearts. They had seen some great people today. Even Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong dared to scold him. Chief Ji was really a good man. Who didn’t know that Dai and Zuo, the master and apprentice, had turned against each other and the other had a knife hidden in his smile? Look at the excitement. Here.

Finding that there was a good show to watch, someone lit a cigarette, someone served tea, and Zuo Zhong's old friends Bai Wenzhi and Vice Minister Yang even took out melon seeds.

In the crowd, Xu Enzeng pinched his nose and shouted, no matter who it was, as long as he scolded Juntong and Zuo Zhong, he had to help.

The shouts made Zhu Haoxian, the director of the Central Bureau of Statistics, look displeased. Zuo Zhong was also his student. Xu Enzeng and Ji Ji were too disrespectful to themselves.

As the person involved, Dai Chunfeng still looked like an old god, but Zuo Zhong was offended by Minister Ji's words. He slapped the table in front of him, pointed at him and cursed loudly.

"For those with the surname Ji, I give you face and call you Minister Ji, Executive Committee Member of Ji. If I don't give you face, I call you a bastard. What can you do to Zuo?

Damn it, you are an old guy who was born as a cigarette seller and relied on your seniority to become a minister and alternate executive committee member. How can you have the face to talk about our military commander here?

You might as well speak more clearly. Isn't it just that I killed a young man's family and affected your fortune? If you have the ability, let's go out and practice. "

Just talking was not enough, so Zuo Zhong simply rolled up his sleeves and assumed a duel with the sixty-year-old Inspector. Lao Dai was so shocked that he spit out the tea in his mouth.

boom!

The venue was in an uproar. Although everyone knows some things, isn't it inappropriate for you to point it out like this?

Someone on the stage had a gloomy look on his face, and he also slapped the table hard. The teacup on the table jumped up, and the fallen lid collided with the cup wall and made a clanking sound.

"domineering!"

"presumptuous!"

Someone's angry voice echoed in the conference room. Seeing that his immediate boss was really angry, all the participants sat upright and didn't look away.

Zuo Zhong quickly gave a half-bow to the fellow villager and said with sincerity: "Leader, my ancestors taught me that I must be loyal to superiors and benevolent to subordinates. When encountering injustice, I must deal with it and deal with it to the end."

Then, he explained the conflict between Xiao Kai and the little agent. His position was impartial and he simply stated the facts without adding any extravagance.

After someone understood what had happened, he took a deep look at the Inspector, and made a remark in his mind that he did not know how to advance or retreat. He coughed twice and scolded Zuo Zhong with a sullen face.

"In any case, the Inspector-General is your senior, and there is still a hierarchy of superiority and inferiority. Let's do this. Shen Zhong's credit for your trip to the United States is offset by this matter. Do you have any complaints?"

Zuo Zhong tightened his abdomen and replied loudly: "Shen has just finished Meng Lang's death. I am willing to accept all punishments from the leader for my humble position and will never complain!"

"Okay, I won't do this again. Sit down and don't be impulsive in the future." Someone pressed his hand and replied in a local accent.

The loyalty of the little fellow is commendable. It doesn't hurt to make mistakes occasionally. But if you never make mistakes, it will be worrying. Someone thinks he has seen through everything.

Minister Ji's nose almost turned crooked with anger as he watched the two singing harmoniously, but they have made it clear that they want to favor fellow villagers and confidants, so it's useless no matter how much you say.

Zuo Zhong sat down and stared at the Inspector provocatively, but he was very calm in his heart. The curse was not only to seek justice for the agents who died at the explosion site, but also to dispel the fear of someone and Lao Dai. It was a small mistake deliberately made. .

The superior person has no handle on you and will target your head sooner or later. This is the only rule of survival in the public sector.

Someone's cold gaze swept across the crowd and directly called Dai Chunfeng's name. Old Dai stood up suddenly like a spring. Before he could stand still, he blurted out beautiful words: "I would like to listen to the commission's instructions."

Zuo Zhong, who was standing by, had a face full of admiration. A teacher is a teacher. Looking at his speed and reaction, he looked like a man in his late fifties.

Someone was dumbfounded by Lao Dai's behavior. He shook his head and issued an order. He asked the military commander to detect the weather station sabotage case before Melos arrived in the mountain city.

The lives of the national government are not valuable, but the lives of Americans are. If the murderer cannot be found as soon as possible, the cooperation between the Republic of China and the United States may have twists and turns.

After the meeting, Dai Chunfeng once again acted as the boss and handed over the investigation of the case to Zuo Zhong. Zuo Zhong was the best intelligence expert in the military. Those who can do more work.

Zuo Zhong called Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang to rush to the weather station and met up with Gu Qi and Ling Sanping, who had arrived in advance to investigate the scene and conduct an autopsy.

As soon as the two sides met, Gu Qi stepped forward and reported the preliminary survey results: "Deputy Chairman, three of the five brothers who died for the country were killed by cold weapons, and the remaining two were shot dead.

The former was unprepared and died of excessive bleeding due to an artery puncture, while the latter engaged in a short-term firefight with the enemy.

Thanks to the two brothers at the back who desperately stopped the enemy, the enemy was unable to break into the deepest part of the weather station and could only forcefully blast it, otherwise all the equipment would be burned clean. "

While talking, everyone walked up to a row of corpses covered with white cloth. The arm of one of the corpses was exposed, and the right hand that was burnt black was still holding a pistol firmly.

Zuo Zhong bent down to cover him, and looked back with a frosty face: "Take full control of the scene, investigate the residents within a ten-kilometer radius, look for witnesses, dig out these rats for me, the blood debt can only be repaid with blood! "

"yes!"

Gu Qi and the others left in a murderous manner, and soon hundreds of spies followed the order and launched a visit and investigation around the weather station.
