1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

They would never abandon themselves until the moment their organization was destroyed, and Pan Hannian was no exception.

If I kill the wrong person, that would be a real problem. I have to find a way to confirm it...

At this time, a man saw Pan Hannian's dilemma and thoughts and took the initiative to stand up:

"Comrade Xiaokai, let me try it out!"

The person who was speaking was wearing a kind of clothing that is not very popular in Shanghai nowadays and is even considered a "taboo" - Christian priest's clothing, with a cross hanging on his chest.

"Red Pastor"——Dong Jianwu.

This man attended a church school from a young age and later was admitted to St. John's University, founded by the Anglican Church. He was a classmate of T.V. Soong and Weijun Gu. After the "412" incident, he resolutely joined the Chinese Communist Party.

Originally, he should have been serving as the abbot of St. Peter's Church at this time, and at the same time, under the guise of opening the "Datong Kindergarten", he specifically adopted and cared for the children of revolutionary martyrs and party leaders in Shanghai.

However, due to the improvement of the revolutionary situation and the persistence of UMP45 (Mark), many children including Enying and Enqing were taken to their parents or sent to Nanchang, and he returned to his main job - espionage intelligence work.

"...I was escorting Zhang Guotao to the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area with Li Ming. We spent a lot of time together day and night. I was very familiar with his habits and behavior. I would definitely recognize him if I got close."

"...Are you sure?"

"Have."

Dong Jianwu pointed to the clothes on his body:

"I'm more or less a celebrity in Shanghai. Even if he were recognized, he wouldn't dare kill me in the street. As long as he doesn't react immediately, our chances of success are very high."

Not long after, Gu Shunzhang and the spies around him, who were about to place the "secret message of the meeting place" according to the predetermined plan, suddenly found two people walking towards them, talking and laughing.

At first, the spies were quite alert, but after noticing the clothes the other party was wearing and hearing the strings of English that they didn't understand, they relaxed a lot and felt a little contempt in their hearts:

This damn fake foreigner actually dares to preach everywhere!

Weren't you hiding like dogs recently, afraid of having anything to do with Christianity?

Haha, maybe that American woman gave them new courage? What about... the People of God?

The spies didn't care at all, and Gu Shunzhang didn't recognize Dong Jianwu at all at the beginning.

What's there to remember about a guy who only stayed with him for a little over a month and even ran away early because he opposed his magic show in Wuhan?

Moreover, since he betrayed the CCP, Gu Shunzhang had enjoyed the highest level of luxury that he had never enjoyed before. He was served with beautiful women and fine wine every day, and he had already become extremely corrupt.

If it weren't for the determination of "I haven't achieved a high enough position or been valued enough", this person would probably have lost all his original skills as an agent.

But a top agent is a top agent after all. After a brief moment of inattention, Gu Shunzhang quickly found this person from his memory bank.

It turned out to be a guy from the Chinese Communist Party!

What's it called?

Never mind! He's a member of the CCP anyway!

Out of his instinct for betrayal, Gu Shunzhang subconsciously wanted to do as usual, arrest Dong Jianwu or claim credit for the crime from the spies.

But then he thought, he had more important tasks to do, and there was really no need to get into trouble over a small person, so he put the thought aside and decided to pretend he didn't know him.

However, at the moment when the two passed each other, Gu Shunzhang noticed that Dong Jianwu seemed to glance at him casually, and immediately his whole body went cold!

wrong!

That's not the way you look at a stranger! Something's wrong!

not good!

My whereabouts have been revealed!

There's an ambush!

The "old man"'s body suddenly became extremely flexible, and he immediately pounced on Dong Jianwu. The latter also gave a signal at this time, and while throwing his companions, he shouted in Latin:

“It’s him!!”

With a creaking sound, a black car braked to a stop beside them. Several Chicago typewriters extended their black muzzles and opened fire without hesitation.

“Da da da da da da da!!!!”

Gu Shunzhang was caught off guard and enjoyed the same treatment as FBI Director Hoover, and his body was instantly replenished with a lot of heavy metals;

After the volley of bullets was finished, another person jumped out of the black car and fired three more shots at Gu Shunzhang's head and chest.

Instructor Ma once said, if you shoot two bullets at the body and one at the head, even gods would shake their heads! I'm not as good as Instructor Ma, so I'll just double it!

Gu Shunzhang, just as you led us to kill Bai Xin back then, we will kill you now!

You traitor!

The entire operation took no more than 30 seconds. After killing people in the street, they immediately ran away, leaving the Kuomintang spies disguised as passers-by still in a daze. No one resisted.

The action was so swift, it was obviously aimed at Gu Shunzhang, who else could it be but the CCP?

How much money is it to risk your life against the Communist bandits?

Brothers, last month's salary was paid a few days late!

Soon, the CCP announced in the newspapers that they had executed the great traitor Gu Shunzhang and expressed sincere apologies to the pastor Dong who was accidentally injured in the melee.

I won't mention the fury and suspicions that Jiang, Dai, and Xu were feeling, but this incident angered the Shanghai International Settlement's security contractor, Mark & ​​Griffin Security Contracting Company, who immediately announced:

1. We understand the CCP's actions, but we strongly condemn and oppose all acts of violence in and around the contracted area, and we have issued a "wanted order" for those involved in the CCP.

2. In view of the "current severe security situation" and at the request of "the general public in Shanghai", Mark Company will once again launch a severe crackdown in Shanghai.

Before they had time to be happy about the first piece of news, the black and gray forces in Shanghai were almost crying when the second piece of news came out.

Why another crackdown?

Last year's crackdown hasn't even completely passed, and now another round is coming? Are you Americans addicted to crackdowns?

Damn the CCP!

The trouble you caused is now coming back upon us!

At the beginning, some people within the CCP had some concerns and even planned to transfer personnel, but they soon found that their worries were unnecessary.

1. The "Wanted Order" was indeed issued, but the person in the photo cannot be said to have no connection with the perpetrators of the action that day, at least not at all. Furthermore, Pan Hannian, the "mastermind behind the scenes," was not even mentioned.

what?

You say those are not perpetrators? What is your identity?

How do you know that? Come on, come over and explain it to me.

2. Mark Corporation did mobilize a large number of personnel to resume its crackdown, but its primary goal was not to "combat espionage and violent crime" but to take advantage of the opportunity to expand its jurisdiction;

Previously, they only carried out "crackdown on pornography and illegal publications" within and on the edge of the concessions, but now they have directly and blatantly extended their hands into non-concession areas and begun to replace the duties that the Shanghai police should have.

Huh?

In this case, it seems that the ones who suffered the most serious blow were not our Communist Party, but the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau and the Renaissance Society!

After Gu Shunzhang, the CCP issued internal regulations that anyone who dared to get involved in pornography, gambling, drugs, or disobey party discipline and rules would be punished with transfer or even expulsion.

Therefore, in brothels, gambling houses, opium dens and other "places of filth and corruption," the CCP only left a few spies and peripheral personnel, and even if they were arrested and expelled, they would not care.

But the Party Affairs Investigation Section, especially the Renaissance Society, was different. Their members had no religious beliefs and had always associated closely with all sorts of people. Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling were commonplace, so most of them were from that group.

In other words, the Shanghai gangs and the KMT's secret service organizations were ultimately responsible for the consequences of this wave of crackdowns triggered by the CCP's killing of traitors.

The CCP kills traitors and the Kuomintang takes the blame. Perfect.

471 can't be checked, what if something is found?

"What?! Gu Shunzhang was killed by the CCP?!"

When he received this news, Xu Enzeng, head of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, almost broke the tip of his pen by banging it on the table.

Even though he hadn't been working as a spy for very long, he immediately realized that this must be a leak of information!

Otherwise, how could Gu Shunzhang be killed as soon as he arrived in Shanghai? What was the problem?

For a moment, Xu Enzeng suspected "Dusk" who was about to meet with "Dawn", but the next moment he threw this possibility out of the window.

Because Gu Shunzhang was too cautious, he requested that key information such as the meeting place not be confirmed in advance, and that they contact each other after arriving in Shanghai. So theoretically, "Dusk" might not even know "Dawn's" departure route, let alone his identity!

So, after ruling out completely impossible options, the leaker can only be among the other people involved in this operation:

Among them were Xu Enzeng himself, Dai Li, the escort personnel, and those who were previously responsible for guarding Gu Shunzhang.

Of course, that was impossible for him, Mr. Xu. Dai Li's words were possible, but his original intention was to take the opportunity to contact Gu Shunzhang and recruit him into the Renaissance Society, so he probably wouldn't do that.

So, the leaker...

Thinking of this, Xu Enzeng's face turned extremely ugly, and he secretly groaned inwardly. Because, whether it was the escort or the guards, they were all from his Party Affairs Investigation Section!

In other words, the blame for Gu Shunzhang's murder could very well be placed squarely on the shoulders of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, or even Section Chief Xu!

It really comes to whatever you want.

Soon, Dai Li called him and said:

"Section Chief Xu! What's wrong with your Party Affairs Investigation Section? You actually leaked secrets and caused Li Ming to be killed!"

33

Xu Enzeng clenched his fingers and cursed back without any hesitation:

"Director Dai, stop your slander! Everyone in our Party Affairs Investigation Section is loyal and devoted! How could they possibly leak secrets?"

"Haha, loyal?"

Dai Li sneered:

"I heard that your Party Affairs Investigation Department is now fond of hiring CCP traitors? Can these people be called loyal? If you say this to others, will the chairman believe it?"

Xu Enzeng was speechless.

This is the "path dependence" formed after reaping the benefits of Gu Shunzhang's betrayal.

Because Gu Shunzhang's betrayal was so smooth, and he betrayed so many CCP members and destroyed so many CCP organizations, the Party Affairs Investigation Section was able to reap great rewards, and Xu Enzeng naturally increased his use of CCP traitors.

He even planned to set up a "Split and Disintegration Committee" within the Party Affairs Investigation Section, composed mainly of CCP traitors, specifically to infiltrate the CCP and exploit those CCP members with weak wills but high positions for his own use.

It is still unclear what the effect will be, but it is true that the Party Affairs Investigation Section was "rampant with communist bandits" for a while.

(Historically, the Second Bureau of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was once filled with CCP traitors from top to bottom.) Chiang Kai-shek was not very impressed by this. Instead, he felt that these people were not very trustworthy; because in his eyes, since these people could betray the CCP, they could also betray the Kuomintang.

If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal!

Xu Enzeng could only pretend to be unaware of Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts.

If they don't use CCP traitors as the main force, are they going to use new recruits who have no knowledge of the CCP?

Aren't you afraid that they will become CCP members in the process of running the CCP? You can't use a jerk like Qian Zhuangfei, right?

They are loyal enough, but their allegiance is not to the Kuomintang at all.

"Hmph! Director Dai, how I employ people is my business. You don't need to interfere. We still need to investigate what exactly happened!"

Xu Enzeng just habitually said something stubborn, but unexpectedly, Dai Li on the other end of the phone was silent. After a while, he made an unexpected proposal:

"...Section Chief Xu, I think that Gu Shun and Gu Zhang's deaths weren't necessarily caused by a leak."

"Um??"

Xu Enzeng's expression froze, and his eyes narrowed. "Director Dai seems to know something?"

"No, I'm just offering a possibility..." Dai Li coughed lightly.

"Section Chief Xu, do you still remember how Gu Shunzhang was arrested?"

The implication of this statement is too obvious.

Why was he arrested?

He performed magic in public to pick up girls and earn money that he had spent on drinking, drinking, whoring and gambling, so he got recognized!

What Dai Li meant was that Gu Shunzhang was killed this time entirely because he acted too high-profile, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Strange.

Putting aside the grudges between the two departments, after being severely tricked last time, Dai Li must have hated him to the core. Why would he try to help him get away with it?

哎?

wrong.
