Chapter 1843 'Paperweight'
"What's not simple?" Feng Min took a bite of the apple, glanced at Cheng Qianfan and asked.
"That President Wu." Cheng Qianfan said with a chuckle, "An old man in his fifties or sixties, a great talent from the Qing Dynasty, actually taught himself to speak fluent Japanese."
"It really opened my eyes." Feng Min nodded and said with a smile, "I was stunned when I heard President Wu speaking fluent Japanese to Major Toda. I thought President Wu had studied in Japan."
"Who would have thought that I started learning Japanese by myself only after the Tanggu Agreement." Feng Mincai shook his head and said.
"After the Tanggu Agreement was signed, President Wu concluded that Japan would expand the war, and even hired a relative who had studied in Japan to teach himself Japanese." Cheng Qianfan took out a snack box and shared it with Feng Mincai. He took a piece of hawthorn cake, took a bite and said, "If nothing else, President Wu's foresight is extraordinary."
"After Mr. Wang publicly proposed the peaceful national salvation program, it is said that Mr. Wu Shancai also published an article in the newspaper to support it very early." Feng Mincai said, "This old man is not a simple person."
"Indeed, I didn't expect to meet such an impressive old man in this small county in northwest Shandong." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
……
Sun Deli was a bachelor, and most of his salary and money were spent in nightclubs and casinos.
That day, he came to the gambling den on Haydon Road as usual.
"Brother Sun is here." The gambling den clerk saw Sun Deli coming in and hurriedly greeted him, "What are you playing today?"
"I'm so sleepy, let me take a nap in a room." Sun Deli yawned and said, "Ask someone to bring in some food, and then I'll play for money after I wake up."
"I know." The waiter said quickly, and led Sun Deli into the lounge in the back hall.
About ten minutes later, Yan Xiaowu, the groom of the gambling den, came in with a lunch.
"Chief Sun, this is the freshly made braised pork trotter with chili added." Yan Xiaowu said attentively.
Sun Deli is from Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, and can eat spicy food.
"You really know my taste." Sun Deli picked up the chopsticks and praised the pork trotter while chewing it.
Yan Xiaowu poured wine for Sun Deli, "Chief Sun, come and have a drink."
……
"I saw someone." Sun Deli took the wine cup, took a sip, and said in a low voice, "Today, Furuya Yuro from the Military Police brought a group of people to Jessfield Road and asked us to identify him."
"It is said that the Japanese arrested suspicious elements, some of whom were previously arrested in the Maoming Road Teahouse." Sun Deli said, "I saw Mr. Zhuo inside."
"How is the person?" Yan Xiaowu asked immediately.
"It looks like he was tortured and his health is not good." Sun Deli said. He knew what Yan Xiaowu was most concerned about. "This brother is a real man. He should have stood firm and didn't say a word under the torture."
"Are people still on Jisifei Road?" Yan Xiaowu asked.
"No, he has been taken back to the gendarmerie." Sun Deli said, "The Japanese arrested this group of people, and there should be many of them who are like Brother Zhuo, whose identities cannot be confirmed, so they took them to Jessfield Road and asked us to help identify them."
"Has anyone been recognized?" Yan Xiaowu asked.
"Wan Haiyang recognized a member of the Zhabei Action Team," said Sun Deli. "This person is called Zhao Xiaoying, which may be an alias. However, Wan Haiyang said that his nickname is Awang, so his identity can be confirmed through this."
Yan Xiaowu nodded. The name might be fake, but nicknames usually have special meanings.
"Also, Dong Zhengguo and his wife recognized a man named Xi Muqing, who is a distant relative of Dong Zhengguo." Sun Deli said, "The Japanese confirmed that Xi Muqing is from Chongqing, and the Japanese are looking for Xi Muqing's social connections."
He said to Yan Xiaowu, "I just took advantage of the situation and threw dirty water on Dong Zhengguo in front of the Japanese."
"Well done!" Yan Xiaowu said excitedly.
Dong Zhengguo and his wife, Dong Zhengguo is very capable and ruthless, while Feng Man is a beautiful but vicious person. Both of them are die-hard traitors and have long been listed as targets of action by the Shanghai District.
"This is the situation. The information must be sent out as soon as possible." Sun Deli said.
"I understand." Yan Xiaowu handed a pie to Sun Deli, nodded and said.
……
after an hour.
"Confirmed? Is it Zhuo Weili?" Fu Liao received the code word for an emergency meeting from Yan Xiaowu over the phone, and he rushed to meet Yan Xiaowu.
"'Paperweight' said it, yes, it's that Brother Zhuo." Yan Xiaowu said.
He then carefully reported the intelligence sent by Sun Deli to Commander Fu.
Fu Liao's heart sank. As expected, something had happened to Commander Cen and he fell into the hands of the Japanese.
Zhuo Weili is one of Cen Yufeng's aliases. Even though he asked 'Paperweight' to help find and identify someone, Fu Liao did not tell his subordinates Cen Yufeng's real identity and only mentioned the alias Zhuo Weili.
"'Paperweight' said that Brother Zhuo held on?" Fu Liao asked immediately.
"Yes, he said that this brother suffered severe torture but managed to hold on, and he admired him very much," said Yan Xiaowu.
Hearing Yan Xiaowu say this, Fu Liao felt a little relieved.
Cen Yufeng is the secretary of the Shanghai District. If Cen Yufeng betrays the district, it will be a disaster for the Shanghai District.
Although the Shanghai District was urgently evacuated this time, for Chief Cen, who knew countless secrets of the Shanghai District, this level of evacuation would not solve the problem at all.
If Commander Cen betrayed us, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, according to the information Yan Xiaowu got from the "paperweight", Commander Cen was a good man and survived the torture of the Japanese.
……
"By the way, the name that man reported to the Japanese was Shu Jincheng," said Yan Xiaowu.
Hearing this, Fu felt relieved.
Shu Jincheng is one of Chief Cen's aliases, and this alias was obtained with the help of District Chief. The name Shu Jincheng itself is a code word.
This is so that if Commander Cen unfortunately falls into the hands of the enemy, he can use the alias he reports to convey as much intelligence as possible.
The code word for the name Shu Jincheng is that he was captured by the enemy, but the enemy has not confirmed his identity, and his capture was an accident, so everything is still under control.
Therefore, when Fu Liao heard that Commander Cen reported the name Shu Jincheng to the Japanese, he felt relieved.
"I will go back and report to the district chief immediately." Fu Liao instructed Yan Xiaowu, "Stay alert here. If Paperweight sends any information, contact me immediately."
"Yes, Commander Fu," Yan Xiaowu said, "and the matter of Awang in Zhabei..."
"I will also arrange for a review and verification of this matter." Fu Liao nodded.
Although he was also anxious about the fact that his brother named Awang from Zhabei was recognized by the traitor Wan Haiyang, things had their priorities. The most urgent task now was to report Chief Cen's situation to the district chief and find a way to rescue Chief Cen.
……
After listening to Fu Liao's report, Chen Gongshu's anxious heart was relieved a little.
No matter what, it's a good thing that Cen Yufeng's whereabouts have been confirmed.
The worst situation is when people keep going missing, with no one seeing them alive or dead.
Now, although it has been confirmed that Cen Yufeng has fallen into the hands of the gendarmerie, which is a bit bad, but intelligence shows that Cen Yufeng has survived the enemy's torture and his identity has not been exposed, which is already a blessing in disguise.
"Chief District Officer, you have thought of planning ahead and using names to convey information." Fu Liao praised sincerely.
He was amazed that Commander Cen could use the name Shu Jincheng to send out intelligence.
"Brother Yufeng is a hero!" Chen Gongshu said with a serious expression.
Chen Gongshu considered himself a tough guy. If he was caught by the enemy, he believed that he could withstand the enemy's torture. However, he was also very clear about what the torture of the Japanese gendarmerie would mean for the arrested persons.
Therefore, Chen Gongshu was quite impressed that Cen Yufeng was able to withstand the severe torture by the Japanese gendarmerie.
"Commander, Commander Cen has fallen into the hands of the enemy. The best news for us now is that Commander Cen's identity has not been exposed." Fu Liao said, "If we want to save him, we have to do it now."
"You're right." Chen Gongshu nodded. "We couldn't find him before, but now we've confirmed Shu Jincheng's identity."
He said, "Notify everyone and have 'Paperweight' figure out how Shu Jincheng was captured by the Japanese."
Only by clarifying the circumstances of Shu Jincheng's arrest and the identity and background he confessed, can the Shanghai District take targeted measures and find ways to rescue him.
"I see." Fu Liao nodded and said, "District Chief, there is also the matter of Awang in Zhabei."
"I will arrange for Zhabei to conduct an investigation and verification." Chen Gongshu nodded and said.
"Wan Haiyang is a traitor!" He gritted his teeth, "He deserves to die!"
Wan Haiyang's status in the Shanghai District was not actually very high before, he was just a middle-level cadre. However, his betrayal to the enemy brought huge losses to the Shanghai District, and to this day, Wan Haiyang still poses a huge threat to the Shanghai District.
Chen Gongshu has realized that the threat posed by the traitor Wan Haiyang to the Shanghai District is even, to some extent, no less than that posed by Wang Tiemu, the former district mayor of Shanghai.
……
Chongqing, Luojiawan.
Qi Wu received an urgent telegram from the Shanghai District and immediately reported it to Dai Chunfeng.
"It seems that Cen Yufeng was arrested by the Japanese in the teahouse on Maoming Road." Dai Chunfeng said thoughtfully.
"That should be the case." Qi Wu nodded. "The response from the Shanghai District was quite quick, and they were able to find out Cen Yufeng's whereabouts in time."
Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly.
Chen Gongshu confirmed Cen Yufeng's whereabouts, and further learned that although Cen Yufeng was arrested, he remained steadfast and did not expose his identity. This was indeed a good job.
However, when the secretary of the Shanghai district disappeared, it was Chongqing that received the report first, and then inquired about the Shanghai district. However, the Shanghai district reported that everything was peaceful. This incident itself made Dai Chunfeng quite unhappy.
"Now it seems that it was the gunshots near the teahouse that attracted the Japanese to arrest them, which directly led to Cen Yufeng's accidental capture." Qi Wu said.
"Earlier, 'Bluebird' reported that it was 'Shui Lilang' of the Loyal National Salvation Army who opened fire when being questioned, which led to the arrest by the Japanese military police." Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly and said, "Now these clues are connected."
"Yes." Qi Wu nodded and said, "I called Kunshan to find out the identity of 'Shui Lilang'. Kunshan called and confirmed his identity."
"We can now confirm that 'Shui Lilang' went to Shanghai without permission. When we went to Dian Kunshan, we found that we could not contact 'Shui Lilang'." Qi Wu said, "'Shui Lilang' went to Shanghai without permission, was interrogated by the Japanese, fired a gun, and caused Cen Yufeng to be accidentally arrested. Now it seems that this is a chain reaction of a series of unexpected situations."
"Send a telegram to Chen Gongshu and inform him of the situation in detail." Dai Chunfeng thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
The Shanghai District and Chen Gongshu were on the front line and had a grasp of the overall situation, which helped Chen Gongshu to fully understand the situation and help rescue Cen Yufeng.
"Tell Chen Gongshu to try every possible means to rescue Cen Yufeng as soon as possible." Dai Chunfeng said with a serious expression.
Cen Yufeng is his favorite general and nothing can happen to him.
……
"Has Secretary Cheng ever been to the North before?" Feng Mincai asked Cheng Qianfan.
"Does Pengcheng count?" Cheng Qianfan peeled an orange and said, "I went to Pengcheng when I was in the Central Army Officers School, but I haven't been to any further north."
"Hahaha." Feng Mincai laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. For Secretary Cheng, who is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Pengcheng is already quite far north."
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the box.
"Who is it?" Feng Mincai asked.
"Director Feng, it's me, Han Xiaoqing."
Feng Min nodded towards Cheng Qianfan only after recognizing the voice as that of Han Xiaoqing, the secretary of Deputy Minister of Government Affairs Chu Liuyan.
Only then did Cheng Qianfan unbolt the door.
"Secretary Han, come here, have an orange." Cheng Qianfan gave half of the orange to Han Xiaoqing.
"Oh, then I won't be polite." Han Xiaoqing smiled and continued.
He is the secretary of Deputy Minister of Political Affairs Chu Liuyan, and Deputy Minister Chu is the leader of this diplomatic delegation and has the highest status. It is true that Han Xiaoqing also has a good status in the delegation.
However, Cheng Qianfan is the trusted secretary of Minister Chu Mingyu. Just based on this point, Cheng Qianfan's position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is higher than that of Han Xiaoqing. He is very clear about this.
……
"The deputy minister said that we were delayed in Pingyuan yesterday because of a surprise attack by the Red Bandits and the Eighth Route Army," Han Xiaoqing said, "so we have to speed up today and pass through the next two stations without stopping."
"It's my duty, it's my duty." Feng Mincai said, "It's all because of this bunch of red bandits. We have to work harder."
"Brother Feng was also wounded while fighting against the Red Bandits." Cheng Qianfan laughed and teased Feng Mincai, "There are more than ten corpses of the Eighth Route Army. Isn't this the result of Brother Feng's battle?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I held two guns and shot one by one. In total, I killed 58 Eighth Route Army soldiers." Feng Mincai was also a clever man. He said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan and Han Xiaoqing both laughed out loud.
"I've heard that Secretary Cheng has made great achievements in suppressing the Red Bandits in Shanghai." Han Xiaoqing said, "This time the Eighth Route Army only dared to launch a sneak attack. If they had used real weapons, Secretary Cheng could have dealt with them alone."
"That's right." Cheng Qianfan smiled and boasted, "If the Tubalu were in front of me now, I would..."
