Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

It's almost a straight line from No. 53 Chicken and Goose Lane to Xiaguan Wharf, and it takes at most half an hour to go back and forth.

Dai Chunfeng had no interest in showing them around anymore; his mind was completely occupied with the radio.

The equipment was the lifeblood of the Secret Service. This batch of equipment had been swindled by the American sales representative. Dai Chunfeng wasn't worried about the money, but rather about losing face for the principal.

Seeing that Dai Chunfeng was already distracted, Chen Jiehua knew he had succeeded.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; all sorts of tempting offers couldn't persuade him to open the air route, so the radio station became the breakthrough point.

This is a double-edged sword. Of course, with Lao Zhou in my hands, I don't need to worry about it causing too much uncertainty for the organization in the future. Moreover, the main focus of the Military Intelligence Bureau's investigations will be the Japanese, while the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong) is the one I hate the most.

"Brother Chunfeng, you don't seem to be in the right state of mind?"

"Oh, Chunfeng is heartbroken. This radio equipment is the lifeblood of the Special Service. It's so shameful that someone tampered with it."

"It seems Brother Chunfeng isn't in the mood to continue the tour with us. How about we go over there to rest for a bit and wait for the radio station to bring us over to take a look?"

Over there, Mio was already chatting with a few girls from the telecommunications department.

Soon, before the car had even come to a complete stop in the small courtyard, Xu Liang, the head of the telecommunications department, excitedly jumped out and carefully carried a radio into the telecommunications department.

"Brother Chunfeng, it's back! Look at the packaging, this batch is definitely better than the last one!"

"How many times have I told you! Call me 'Director,' this isn't our hometown anymore!"

"Brother Qingxuan, you flatter me. I'm just a young fellow from my hometown, and I've never seen the world."

"Haha, Brother Chunfeng, you're too kind. Qingxuan understands."

"Take it apart, put it back together and try it."

In fact, Chen Jiehua knew immediately upon seeing the brand that the batch Dai Chunfeng had purchased was a second-generation product from RCA (Radio Corporation of America), designed by his old friend Hadmond. (For those who don't remember, please refer to Chapter 046)
This is outdated now, and Chen Jiehua doesn't need to care too much about who the sales representative is to Hadmond.

This one is an export product manufactured by Zhou Yongsu's newly established company. It was personally designed by Zhou Yongsu, the Silver Fox, and has excellent performance. To use a popular term, it is the second generation that completely outclasses RCA.

"These data are so much better! The clarity of long-range signals has also improved significantly, and the ability to detect unidentified signals is extremely strong!"

"Brother Qingxuan, name your price."

“The price for one unit departing from the United States is $1000. I can help Brother Chunfeng transport it to the designated port for $1200. Consider this one a gift for Brother Chunfeng.”

"Damn it! That liar, catch him and let's see him..."

"Get lost! How dare you call me 'Motherfucker'!"

In Dai Chunfeng's mind, hundreds of "Damn it"s also floated by.

The difference is huge! It's advanced, cheap, and offers door-to-door delivery. It means that in the future, it will deliver to Tianjin Station, Wuhan Station, and Chongqing Station. As long as you place an order, it will be delivered directly to your door.

"Brother Qingxuan, Chunfeng has made up his mind. Let's cooperate as you say!"

"Good! Brother Chunfeng is straightforward!"

"We'll order 20 of these radio stations first."

"I think the transport fleet will be able to enter the Yangtze River estuary by next week at the latest. There is a batch of the latest American radio equipment on board, but the remaining quantity is not clear. It was originally intended to be sent to the Nanjing and Shancheng offices of the Aoki Agency, but we will give it to you first. You can arrange for people to contact the fleet directly."

The two companies finalized a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Dividing line —
After leaving No. 53 Chicken and Goose Lane, Dai Chunfeng arranged a special car, and Mao Wanli personally drove Chen Jiehua and Fujiwara Mio to the main store of Matai Street Pharmacy.

It has now been confirmed that Qing Teng San has joined the Special Service Department's Telecommunications Section and completed the planned mission. The "Transport Fleet" can now, like the previous First Overseas Expeditionary Fleet, drive straight into the mountain city, making it much easier to do things for the organization in the future. In the secret room of the main store on Matai Street, when Chen Jiehua took out his personal radio, he received a signal from the section chief.

The section chief accidentally injured his knee during the anti-encirclement campaign in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area and needed to go to Shanghai for treatment. Knowing that Chen Jiehua was in Nanjing, he asked if there was a route there.

Chen Jiehua thought to himself, "What a coincidence! We just reached an agreement that would allow my fleet to navigate the Yangtze River freely, and you've already come looking for me."

After arranging the dock and time for boarding, Chen Jiehua called Chen Lanfeng to meet at the dock and board the ship with us to pick up Zhao Yiyue in Shancheng.

The four boarded the fleet flagship. Chen Jiehua sent Watanabe away and took Mio and Chen Lanfeng into the commander-in-chief's private rest cabin, where they were finally able to speak.

This is Mio's older brother. In order to reassure him to work with her, she can and must inform him of her position and identity.

Mio also explained to Chen Lanfeng the whole story of how she learned about her background.

Chen Lanfeng had long heard that his classmate, Qingmu Qingxuan, was very capable and arrogant, but also a bit reckless, having made two embarrassing mistakes with clear-text telegrams. However, he seemed to have exceptionally good luck, climbing the ranks very quickly.

But I never imagined that one day I would actually become his subordinate, and that he would even become my brother-in-law.

Chen Lanfeng frankly said, "On the way to the banquet at Meiling Palace that day, Chen Lifu found me and asked me to join the Party Affairs Investigation Department."

"Chen Lifu? CC Clique? Party Affairs Investigation Department? This bald-headed Chiang is interesting. Is he trying to maintain a balance of power or does he have other motives? Why isn't it someone from the Special Service contacting you?"

"Then I'll make you a spy, infiltrate my ranks?"

"You guessed it all?"

"No need to guess. Bald Jiang deliberately led me to suggest calling you up, so I knew what they were thinking. It's alright, brother-in-law, just agree to their request. I'll give you some of the information they want later."

"Double agent?"

"Haha~~"

The three chatted happily until late at night.

Chen Jiehua calculated the time and realized it was almost time to arrive in Wuhan. "You two should pause for now and come with me to make arrangements to bring the section chief up."

"Ahead to Wuhan, stop the ship, drop anchor, rest and resupply."

"Hi!"

After picking up the section chief and getting him aboard, Watanabe's resupply was still incomplete, and the sailors were busy. Chen Jiehua led Chen Lanfeng and Meixu to the small cabin where the section chief was temporarily housed. The small room was right next to his own private cabin.

"Comrade Lin Meixu, long time no see. Oh, why are your eyes so red? Did you cry again? Is there anyone here who can bully you?"

"Section Chief, I'd like to formally report that Mio's surname is no longer Lin or Fujiwara; it's Chen."

"If she marries you, of course she'll take the surname Chen."

"Section Chief, you're really smart. But what you said this time is both right and wrong: her surname is Chen, because that's what she should have been surnamed Chen."

"Let me introduce you to this man, Chen Lanfeng, an instructor at the Kuomintang Central Military Academy, the older brother of Chen Meixu, and a native of Yilan County, Taiwan Province."

"Huh? What?"

"Section Chief, don't doubt it, it's the one you heard, I am from Yilan, Taiwan Province, and I have found my biological brother!"

This bizarre and convoluted story slowly unfolded once again before the section chief. (End of Chapter)
