The Spy

Chapter 310: An Incident in Xi'an
Tu Yuan told him that as long as he could kill Xu Qingyun, he was allowed to use any means, including assassination.

Unfortunately, in Ishida's eyes, assassination is the lowest level of means, and he disdains to use this method to deal with Xu Qingyun.

Even in secret, he had to capture Xu Qingyun alive and bring him back to the Special High Section.

Ishida has his own pride.

Fu Wenzhen was strolling alone on the streets of Shanghai.

After receiving the transfer order, he contacted his superior Guo Shisheng and told him that his transfer to Shanghai was a big deal and he had to report it to the organization.

Guo Shisheng originally wanted to follow Fu Wenzhen to Shanghai and continue to be his liaison, but was rejected by Secretary Yuan.

They couldn't be sure if anyone had seen the two of them come into contact.

If someone from the Military Intelligence Department had seen them and discovered that the two had been in contact again, they would easily become suspicious of their relationship.

This risk cannot be taken.

Finally, Secretary Yuan reported to Mr. Ke, who praised his arrangement and arranged for comrades in Shanghai to contact Fu Wenzhen to serve as his liaison.

Fu Wenzhen waited for a long time after arriving in Shanghai, and today he finally received the signal from the organization that he had an appointment.

Coming to a new place, Fu Wenzhen was both excited and nervous.

Shanghai is bigger and the work here is more important, especially after he is promoted to the operations team leader, he will be of greater help to the organization.

He wants to do things for the organization, a lot of things.

He was worried because he was afraid that he was not capable enough. It would not be a big deal if he got hurt, but he was afraid that he would hurt other comrades.

If that were the case, he would never forgive himself.

Fu Wenzhen was very careful along the way and went to the mall.

Only after making sure that there was no one tailing him did he dare to go to the meeting place.

This is a simple teahouse, just a shed where people sit and drink tea from big bowls and listen to storytelling.

The storyteller was an old man. Due to his age, he could not speak for too long at a time. Sometimes he even forgot some of the content, and his words were a little inconsistent.

People like him are not wanted in big teahouses, so he can only come to small teahouses like this to continue talking and make a living.

The teahouse owner not only did not give him any money, but also took a cut from his tip money.

In this era, it is very difficult for ordinary people to survive.

Fu Wenzhen found an empty seat, ordered a cup of tea, and listened to the storyteller telling stories about the Tang Dynasty.

In the distance, Yu Licheng was observing his surroundings.

They received an order from their hometown that a very important comrade would meet with him today.

Yu Licheng is the comrade in charge of organizational work in Shanghai, and his identity is very important.

The fact that his superiors asked him to be the liaison shows how important this comrade is.

After making sure there was no danger, Yu Licheng walked towards the teahouse.

He immediately saw Fu Wenzhen holding a newspaper.

During this meeting, his contact will hold a copy of Ta Kung Pao, with the three words "Ta Kung Pao" deliberately visible, and it will be folded so that only these three words are visible.

In order to ensure that they are comrades and avoid mistakes, they need to use the same secret code.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

Yu Licheng came to Fu Wenzheng and asked politely. Fu Wenzheng glanced at him and then shook his head: "No one."

This was not a secret signal for a meeting, but he couldn't chase anyone away.

In places like this, anyone can sit in an empty seat.

Fu Wenzhen is still waiting.

"Is this newspaper of yours old?"

After sitting down for a while, Yu Licheng suddenly asked. Fu Wenzhen's body shook slightly. This was the real code for contact.

When people see someone holding a newspaper and ask, most of them want to borrow the newspaper to read. Few people will directly say that it is an old newspaper.

"What old newspaper? New one, look at the date."

Fu Wenzhen gave the secret code for the meeting and opened the newspaper for Yu Licheng to read.

"It's the old one, February 5th."

Today is the 5th, but it is December 5th. This is according to today's new newspaper. The contact code is intentionally like this. If the contact is on the 4th, the contact person will deliberately say February 4th.

The same goes for other dates. For example, if it was the 28th of last month, the contact person would deliberately choose January 28th.

Moreover, the contact person will only say these eight words and nothing else to avoid misunderstanding.

This is a teahouse, and what they say may be heard by others. This kind of conversation is the most natural and safest.

"My name is Yuan Bing, what's your name?"

Fu Wenzhen suddenly said that Yuan Bing was not his real name, but his code name.

In order to better protect Fu Wenzhen, this time he was given a code name similar to a person's name.

"My name is Huoyan. I'll be at No. 3 Tayuan Hutong later."

Yu Licheng lowered his voice and said that he did not say his own name, but the other party said the code name Yuan Bing, which confirmed that he had not found the wrong person, and the next step was to actually meet and communicate.

There are too many people here to talk.

Yu Licheng spoke in a low voice, and only Fu Wenzhen could hear what he said. After he finished speaking, he stood up, complained that the storyteller was not telling the story well and always forgot the words, and then left.

Fu Wenzhen was very excited, but he suppressed the urge to get up and go back, and continued to drink tea and listen to the book.

Twenty minutes later, he got up and left.

No. 3 Tayuan Hutong is a residence and a safe house belonging to the organization. If Fu Wenzhen needs to make contact in the future, he can come here.

This safe house was specially prepared for Fu Wenzhen.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Fu Wenzhen did not forget to look around.

He is extremely vigilant, and if he finds anything unusual, he will immediately draw his gun and shoot, which is equivalent to telling his comrades that they are in danger and to evacuate immediately.

There was no movement, so Fu Wenzhen came to No. 3 in the alley and knocked on the door.

"Hello, Comrade Yuan Bing."

Yu Licheng opened the door, brought Fu Wenzhen into the living room, and immediately stretched out his hand to shake Fu Wenzhen's.

Regardless of whether they know each other or not, as long as they are comrades in the organization, everyone feels like meeting a brother, and in fact they have a brotherly relationship.

"Hello, Comrade Huoyan. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Fu Wenzheng, and I am currently serving as the operations team leader at the Military Intelligence Department's Shanghai Station..."

Fu Wenzhen held the other person's hand and said excitedly.

"What, you are the operations team leader?"

Yu Licheng was stunned for a moment. He knew that the comrade he was going to meet today was very important, but he did not expect that the other party was actually a spy and held such a high position in the spy department.

The position of action leader is indeed not low, and it is a position that only the webmaster's confidant can hold.

The Military Intelligence Department is not the Party Affairs Investigation Department that targets them everywhere, but the Military Intelligence Department is also a spy agency and will not let go of any opportunity to catch them.

"Yes, I worked at Wuhan Station before. I was the deputy leader of the action team. The station chief of Wuhan Station, Xu Qingyun, was transferred to Shanghai and brought me here. He directly made me the action team leader."

Lu Gaowa did not come with us, but his position as team leader was very stable.

When he was in Wuhan, he was not Xu Qingyun's direct descendant, but it was different when he arrived in Shanghai. After all, he was an old man brought by the stationmaster from other places. Even though his status could not be compared with Dai Jieying and others, in the eyes of people at the Shanghai station, he was definitely a direct descendant of the stationmaster.

"Go on."

Yu Licheng suppressed his excitement and let Fu Wenzhen continue telling the story.

Fu Wenzhen mainly talked about himself and some situations in Wuhan and Shanghai.

"Xu Qingyun is very capable. Fortunately, he is not interested in us. His main focus is to capture Japanese agents. He has captured one or two hundred Japanese agents. With this outstanding military achievement, he became the station chief of Shanghai Station."

"When I was in Wuhan, the secretary told us that we must be careful. Now that I am in Shanghai, I want to say that our comrades in Shanghai should also pay attention to safety."

Fu Wenzhen concluded that if their people were discovered by the Military Intelligence Department, they would take action against them.

The Wuhan Power Plant was an example before.

If the Party Affairs Investigation Department had not suddenly discovered their people, those comrades would definitely have been taken back to the Military Intelligence Department.

"I understand what you said. I will report it to my superiors. Now I will give you three dead mailbox locations for emergency, general, and ordinary situations..."

Fu Wenzhen listened very carefully. This was his way of communicating with the organization, and he must not forget any details.

After Yu Licheng finished speaking, he asked Fu Wenzhen to repeat it three times to make sure he had memorized it.

In addition to the dead mailbox, there are also various signals to deal with different situations. Just like in Wuhan, if the situation is not particularly important, Yu Licheng will not meet with Fu Wenzhen directly.

Fu Wenzhen is very important and he must protect this comrade.

"Comrade Flame, I'm going back first."

"Comrade Yuan Bing, your situation is different from ours, so you must be careful."

When they parted, the two held hands again. From then on, Yu Licheng would only call Fu Wenzhen by his code name and would not easily say his name.

Fu Wenzhen had to explain his situation to the organization, but he could not hide his real name, so he had to report it.

Fu Wenzhen left first. Half an hour later, Yu Licheng made all the arrangements and left.

In the afternoon, Yu Licheng came to another safe house.

"Secretary Yang, I spoke to Comrade Yuan Bing today."

When he met Secretary Yang from Shanghai, Yu Licheng immediately reported.

"How is it?" Secretary Yang asked with a smile. He also didn't know Fu Wenzhen's true identity.

The organization only told him that this was a very important comrade and how to contact him, but did not mention Fu Wenzhen's identity in the telegram.

The less introduction there is, the more protective it is towards gays, especially real names.

Generally, only code names are used in telegrams, not real names.

Even if the telegraph is safe now, if it is cracked in the future and their communication messages are intercepted, it would be easy to find out the situation of their comrades through translation.

"He works for the Military Intelligence Department and is the head of operations..."

When Yu Licheng reported Fu Wenzhen's situation, Secretary Yang was also stunned. He did not expect that this comrade was already a senior member of the Military Intelligence Department.

Fu Wenzhen is inconspicuous at the headquarters, but at the Shanghai station, he is definitely an important figure who ranks at the forefront.

According to his identity and level, he is only behind Yan Ming, Zhao San and Dai Jieying, and Jiang Cheng is not even as good as him.

"Comrade Huoyan, Comrade Yuan Bing's situation is strictly confidential. No one except you and me can know his identity."

After listening to Yu Licheng's report, Secretary Yang said decisively that Fu Wenzhen's identity was too important, and even if he was not from the Party Affairs Investigation Office, he would be of great help to them.

"Secretary Yang, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about his situation. I will be his direct contact from now on."

There are many comrades in the Shanghai organization. In terms of latent forces, no other part of the country can compare with Shanghai, as we have the largest number of organized people.

One is that Shanghai has a large population, and the other is that this place is too important.

Yu Licheng is the Minister of Organization. He has a very high status and is usually very busy, so there are not many people who can ask him to serve as a liaison officer.

"Okay, be careful."

Secretary Yang did not stay long and left soon. His hometown sent them a talented person, Comrade Yuan Bing in the Military Intelligence Department, and they could learn a lot about the spies.

three days later.

"Stationmaster, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on the Shanghai station."

At the Shanghai airport, Yan Ming, who came to see Xu Qingyun off, assured him that the Singapore pharmaceutical factory would officially start production the day after tomorrow, and he must arrive in Singapore in advance.

Just like the last time he went to Singapore, Xu Qingyun chartered a plane and did not bring many people with him.

In addition to Zhao San and Leng Wenxuan, there were only a few operatives, Yan Ming, Zheng Jiming, Fu Wenzhen and others, looking after the house together.

"Okay, report to me anytime if anything happens."

Xu Qingyun always carries a radio with him when he goes out, and is accompanied by people from the communications team, so he can get in touch with the station at any time.

Xu Qingyun led his people onto the plane. After the plane took off, he looked towards the western sky.

A great change was about to happen. The old man had already arrived in Xi'an, and General Zhang persuaded him.

There were voices against civil war in the country, but the old man turned a deaf ear to them.

The saying "pacify the country before fighting foreign enemies" has disappointed countless ordinary people and intellectuals.

As early as last year, students had held a march, hoping to unite all forces to fight against Japan. The Japanese were ambitious and had been encroaching on Chinese territory since they occupied the Northeast.

Driving away the invaders is what the Fruit Party government should do most.

Unfortunately, the old man never agreed.

The plane soon arrived over the sea. Xu Qingyun knew history. This incident would have a great impact on the country. At least they should unite temporarily to resist the Japanese.

It also made advance preparations for the subsequent joint efforts of various armies to fight against the Japanese.

At Singapore Airport, Chen Changcun was already waiting.

Seeing Xu Qingyun getting off the plane, Chen Changcun immediately waved his hand: "Qingyun, this way."

Chen Changcun's car drove directly into the airport. If it were anyone else, it would definitely not be possible, but the Chen family has a high status in Singapore and has the qualifications.

"Brother Changcun."

Xu Qingyun and Chen Changcun were already familiar with each other and shook hands and hugged each other like good friends.

"Let's go home, father is waiting for you."

Chen Changcun took Xu Qingyun into the car, and before the car started, he started talking about the current situation of the pharmaceutical factory.

The pharmaceutical factory's pre-sale had ended long ago, and Chen Changcun strictly followed Mr. Chen's instructions and only sold 30% of the pre-sale, and only for one year.

Before long they had sold out 30% of their annual production.

The price is similar to that in the United States, but considering factors such as shipping costs, their drug prices are actually lower.

Even if they only sold 30%, they would still have made more than $300,000.

The annual output of Singapore's pharmaceutical factories is approximately one million US dollars.

But this is just one factory. If Xu Qingyun’s three factories were added together, the annual revenue would be at least three million.

This is not Xu Qingyun’s goal. As the war has not started yet, he has not expanded the production capacity of the pharmaceutical factory for the time being.

Technology is not that advanced now, and the shelf life of drugs like sulfonamides is not that long. One year is the limit. However, Xu Qingyun has made arrangements for all the factory sites, leaving enough space so that they can be expanded at any time in the future and production can be carried out directly once the production line is put into operation.

The wartime production must reach at least 10 million US dollars per year. 10 million US dollars is the production volume calculated based on the current price of sulfanilamide. If calculated according to the wartime price, it must be at least doubled.

Xu Qingyun has this confidence.

"Uncle Chen."

When they arrived at the Chen family, Chen Changcun directly brought Xu Qingyun into his father's study. From this action, it can be seen that the Chen family did not treat Xu Qingyun as an outsider.

"Qingyun, thank you for your hard work along the way."

Mr. Chen stood up and took them to sit on the sofa.

"It's very comfortable on the plane. I'm not tired."

The speed of airplanes during this period was not as fast as those in later generations. It took ten hours to fly from Shanghai to Singapore, almost twice as long as in later generations.

World War II had not yet begun. After World War II, the speed of airplanes increased, so it can be said that war is the best catalyst for technology.

"Has Changcun told you about the factory situation?"

"I told you."

Xu Qingyun nodded immediately. Chen Changcun told him everything about the situation at the pharmaceutical factory in the car. To describe it in one word, it was fire.

The products are very popular and many people who have paid deposits are waiting for them to start production and then take away their goods.

"Sulfa is really popular. I underestimated the market for sulfa."

Mr. Chen sighed and said that several businessmen had ordered a large amount of sulfa drugs, which obviously exceeded their local usage.

Since these people dare to order so much, they must have their own sales channels.

"The market for life-saving drugs is always hot, unless the production volume is large, there is no need to worry."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded. When penicillin was first introduced, it was also extremely expensive and hard to get a shot. Later, after various antibiotics came out, the popularity gradually subsided.

For a long time in later generations, penicillin remained active in major medical institutions, and the birth of penicillin did save many lives.

"You are right. Thank you for bringing a good fortune to the Chen family."

Mr. Chen took the initiative to thank them. It was Xu Qingyun who brought them the business. At present, Xu Qingyun could ask anyone for such business, and no one would be able to refuse.

Because of their old friendship, Xu Qingyun found him, which was equivalent to letting him take advantage.

In fact, he guessed wrong. The decision to become a partner was made by Xu Qingyun after careful consideration.

Anyone can be approached for this business, but he cannot look for it in the country, especially not those big shots.

Otherwise, the pharmaceutical companies will eventually be eaten up by them without leaving anything behind.

Mr. Chen is his best partner. First of all, Mr. Chen is an upright person. He understands history and can make this judgment.

Secondly, Mr. Chen has great influence abroad and can help him protect this industry.

However, the Chen family is always an external force to him, and he needs to develop his own strength.

The United States' layout is for this purpose. As long as he has enough influence in the United States, after the war, even the old man will have to weigh whether he can bear the consequences of annexing his industry.

Including the current president's campaign, Xu Qingyun provided sponsorship through an American company.

Unfortunately, there was no suspense in this election. At most, he was just icing on the cake and his influence was limited.

What Xu Qingyun wanted was not influence, but to use this opportunity to speak to senior American officials.

The more people he sponsors in the future, the more secure the future of the pharmaceutical company will be.

Xu Qingyun didn't know that he had a senior who was a time traveler. Later, he directly pushed someone and gave him full support, which eventually led to great gains.

For Xu Qingyun, he will not give up any possible external force.

The more external forces there are, the more secure his future will be. Especially after a war breaks out, others will dare not touch his property.

It is no exaggeration to say that after the war, his pharmaceutical factory was a gold mine, and it was impossible that no one was coveting it.

While there is still time, Xu Qingyun should develop his own strength to ensure that no one dares to target the pharmaceutical factory in the future.

"The pharmaceutical factory will open the day after tomorrow. You will be the host then."

Mr. Chen took the initiative to say that the pharmaceutical factory was nominally run by the Chen family, but in fact it belonged to Xu Qingyun.

Their Chen family only holds 15% of the shares.

"No, you should come. I am not suitable to appear in public."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. Mr. Chen immediately understood what he meant. Xu Qingyun was an agent by profession, so it was indeed not convenient for him to show up in public.

"Well, my Chen family owes you a favor for this matter."

Mr. Chen understood that if Xu Qingyun did not reveal his identity, others would think that the pharmaceutical factory belonged to their Chen family. Before the pharmaceutical factory even started production, it had already booked a year's production.

Although he limits the share, if there is no limit, all of them can be sold out.

Rare goods are valuable. If he has something that others want, others will naturally give him face and dare not offend him easily.

A pharmaceutical factory has increased his influence invisibly.

It may even further enhance the Chen family's status in Singapore.

Don't underestimate a factory. In the future, there will be large domestic factories whose words will be more effective than those of local governments.

"Don't say that. I hope the Chen and Xu families will remain close friends forever."

Xu Qingyun is very good at talking and he made Mr. Chen laugh out loud with just one sentence.

"Changcun, take Qingyun to rest. He has been on the plane all day and is very tired."

It was late, so Mr. Chen didn't talk much. Chen Changcun sent Xu Qingyun to the guest room. Although it was a guest room, it was very luxurious and better than Xu Qingyun's dormitory in Shanghai.

After moving to Shanghai, Xu Qingyun lived only inside the station, just like when he was in Wuhan, and not in the official residence outside.

However, the official residence was not vacant, so Xu Qingyun gave it to someone who was more in need. He was not the first person to give his official residence to his subordinates, but he was one of the very few.

The reason for this is because of the confession obtained from Kitazawa last time he was captured.

Xu Qingyun really didn't pay much attention to the official residence, but he didn't expect that Tu Yuan would discover this loophole and use it to frame him.

Now that we allow others to live there, this loophole is equivalent to patching it.

Nothing happened that night, and Xu Qingyun got up early the next day.

Zhao San had been waiting for a long time.

The Chen family villa is very big and has many guest rooms. Xu Qingyun didn't bring many people with him, so there was no problem in settling them.

The Chen family had their own guards and knew they were distinguished guests, so they were very polite to them.

"Stationmaster, Mr. Chen said that you should go to the restaurant after you have packed up so that we can have breakfast together."

"okay, I get it."

Xu Qingyun nodded, washed up simply, and soon arrived at the restaurant. He couldn't refuse the Chen family's invitation as it was their kindness.

There are not many members of the Chen family, so they all eat together.

Mr. Chen has very strict family education. No one else is allowed to speak without his permission. However, since Xu Qingyun was there, Mr. Chen made an exception again and took the initiative to talk to Xu Qingyun.

We weren't talking about work, but some business matters.

Facts have proved that Xu Qingyun is also a genius in business, and it won’t be wrong to learn more from him.

As for Zhao San and his friends, someone will prepare breakfast for them. The breakfast is just as rich and no worse than that in China.

"You mean to sell all the farms in Southeast Asia and move them to Hawaii, Brazil, etc?"

Mr. Chen took the initiative to ask. What they were talking about just now was the Chen family's business. The Chen family has many farms all over Southeast Asia, mainly growing food, rubber, sugarcane and other things, which can bring them hundreds of thousands of dollars in income every year.

In addition, they also have a trading business, which also brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"That's right. The best time is when a civil war breaks out. We need to evacuate immediately."

In fact, it would be best to sell them all and switch to trading business, but Mr. Chen has traditional ideas. No matter how much money he has, he will not feel at ease if he does not have any land.

Unfortunately, the future is the era of money. Without enough money, no matter how many industries you have, it will be useless.

"I need to think about this carefully."

Xu Qingyun was not surprised that Mr. Chen did not agree. How could such a major event concerning the future of the family be changed just by his words?

The Chen family has strong connections in Southeast Asia and is able to keep their farm. But it is different in Hawaii and Brazil, where they are unfamiliar with the place and are easily bullied.

Especially since the United States has the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Fortunately, the Chen family has been away from home for a long time and they are of Chinese descent, but they are still easily discriminated against.

"Uncle Chen, don't be in a hurry, take your time."

Xu Qingyun did not persuade him much. After everyone finished breakfast together, Chen Changcun took Xu Qingyun to inspect the pharmaceutical factory, while Mr. Chen returned to his study to consider Xu Qingyun's suggestions.

According to Xu Qingyun's previous speculation, once a war breaks out in Europe, Britain and the United States will be unable to take care of themselves, and Japan is very likely to attack Southeast Asia.

These lands are likely to fall into Japanese hands.

By that time it would be too late to move them, and we would have to wait for Japan to be defeated and take them back.

But recycling is not that easy. After the war, all countries are eager to replenish their blood. It is very likely that they cannot recover it at all, or it will cost a lot to recover it.

The Chen family started out as a farm owner, especially in rubber farming, and they owned a fairly large business.

Rubber trees do not produce yields as soon as they are planted. The tapping process for rubber trees is very long and they can only be harvested six to eight years after they have been planted.

Ten to fifteen years is the peak production period.

The Chen family’s rubber trees are planted in rotation, and most of them are currently mature, so the harvest is huge.

But if it is moved to another place and replanted, it will take at least six to eight years for the first batch to mature, and then it will take twenty-five years of reincarnation to reach the current scale.

Giving up this place is equivalent to starting over, so it’s no wonder Mr. Chen would think too much.

After much deliberation, Mr. Chen ultimately couldn't make up his mind.

There is no rush now. Let’s wait and see until the situations Xu Qingyun described occur.

On December 10th, the pharmaceutical factory officially opened.

Xu Qingyun was in an inconspicuous corner. He took the initiative to leave when others took pictures. Even so, he disguised himself today to avoid being photographed in his true appearance.

As an agent, photos must not be leaked easily.

Unfortunately, the people in the military intelligence department were too inexperienced, and many of them even liked to report it, so it is not surprising that the photos were leaked.

It's not just China, Japan is the same, it's not much better.

When the business started operation, the happiest people were not Mr. Chen, but those who paid the deposit.

After the production goes into place, it means that they will be able to get their goods soon, and they can make a lot of money by reselling these goods.

It’s a pity that the pharmaceutical factory’s production is limited, otherwise they would like to buy more goods.

After the pharmaceutical factory opened, Xu Qingyun did not leave and remained in Singapore. This time he will stay in Singapore for a few days.

However, the situation in the country was already turbulent, especially in Xi'an. No one knew that something big was about to happen there.

Three days later, Xu Qingyun had just gotten up when Chen Changcun quickly ran into his room.

"Qingyun, something big has happened."

He was holding a newspaper in his hand, a new newspaper delivered today. The front page reported a major event that had just happened in the country.

"General Zhang made a military remonstrance, and the chairman was placed under house arrest. How is that possible?"

Xu Qingyun pretended to be surprised, but Chen Changcun didn't think much about it and immediately said, "Father is contacting people to inquire about this matter, so he asked me to call you."

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

Xu Qingyun left quickly. He knew about this and was sure it was true.

In fact, there is a reason for coming to Singapore at this time.

Mr. Chen was in the telecommunications room at home, where there were two radios, and someone was constantly calling.

"Qingyun is here."

Mr. Chen looked serious. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in his country.

Mr. Chen has always been concerned about the domestic situation. He is an overseas Chinese who cares about the country and the people. He has always hoped that the motherland can prosper and become strong, and end the civil war and warlord fighting.

Develop science and technology and industry like the Western powers and become a truly great and powerful country.

I never expected that something like this would suddenly happen in the country.

The old man was in Xi'an, and General Zhang and General Yang jointly proposed to the old man again to end the civil war and jointly fight against Japan.

Every year the old man invests a lot of money and manpower in dealing with the Red Party. They are all Chinese. Wouldn't it be good to use this money to fight against the Japanese?

Now everyone knows Japan’s wolfish ambitions, and everyone can see that the Japanese are eyeing China covetously and are ready to pounce and take a bite at any time.

Unfortunately, the old man insisted on his own way.

In desperation, the two generals launched a military remonstrance and forced the old man to agree.

"Uncle Chen, how is it going?"

"It is basically certain that it is true. Why has China been suffering all these years? What have we done to make God treat us like this?"

Mr. Chen's face was filled with grief and indignation. Even if the old man had many faults, he at least managed to maintain the country's barely unified state.

At this moment, the people who wanted the old man to die the most were probably the Japanese.

Once the old man is gone, wars will break out among the warlords again, and as everyone wants to ascend to the throne, a civil war is inevitable.

"Uncle Chen, don't worry. Let me ask about the situation first. Maybe things haven't reached that point yet."

Xu Qingyun comforted him and called Zhao San to ask him to send a message to the headquarters to inquire about the current situation.

"Yes, ask quickly."

Mr. Chen kept nodding his head, he was so anxious that he almost forgot that Xu Qingyun was an agent of the Military Intelligence Department.

He is also the station chief of the Shanghai Station, an absolute high-ranking figure in the Military Intelligence Department.

The headquarters called back soon, but it was not from the director.

At this time, the director had already gone to the old man's camp to comfort Ms. Song. He was also worried about such a big thing and could not stay in the office.

The person who called Xu Qingyun back was Xu Zhanjie.

Xu Zhanjie told him that the news published in the newspaper was true. Nanjing was in chaos. Many people in important positions called on General Zhang not to act on impulse. There were also people who were secretly helping and did not want the old man to come back.

The director was not at the headquarters, but he had issued a strict order, asking them to closely monitor public opinion from all walks of life and report immediately any remarks that were unfavorable to the old man.
