Chapter 361 Code of Line 1
Chapter 361 Code of Line
Ye Xiangzhi and his gang of idiots have no idea about the mainland economy.
Five or ten dollars is a huge sum of money right now, okay?
Not to mention the planned economy of grain and cloth coupons.
Print it.
The more you print, the better. It would be great if we could catch them all in one fell swoop.
As soon as he left, Hong Zhiyou started to think about it.
The problem of firewood has been solved.
But the diary is still there, Zhang Wencheng has been arrested again, and although Zhu Yan has left Wan Island, she and Zuo Lan must have met more than once.
In other words, the bun shop is very likely to be targeted by someone.
We need to act quickly.
Thinking of this, Hong Zhiyou picked up the phone and dialed Gu Youniu's landline: "Youniu, get to work."
It has to be said that the destruction brought about by Chai Qian was enormous.
Even if the person is dead.
But the notes he left for Xu Li almost handed over the entire underground organization of Wandao to her.
Next half month.
Gu Zhengwen was frantically arresting people all over the Bay Island.
In order to gain credit in front of the Chairman, Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng intensified the suppression of white terror.
After receiving the Chairman's authorization, many comrades, even many who had had contact with underground members, were also regarded as red tickets.
Among these people are vendors, students, etc.
The interrogation was rough.
Many people were forced to confess under cruel torture.
Once confessed, he was immediately shot.
The sound of gunfire in Machangding continued day and night.
For a time, the whole of the north was in a state of panic.
……
1950 3 Month 1 Day.
The chairman announced his reinstatement.
In the early spring in the Bay Island, the sea breeze is mixed with a hint of chill.
night.
Yu Zecheng was wearing his coat and making tea with Hong Zhiyou in the backyard.
"Is the teacher asleep?" Yu Zecheng asked.
“Slept.
"He doesn't take care of things now, and doesn't want to get promoted or make money. He goes to bed early and gets up early every day. He has much more free time than us." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
“I really admire the teacher.
"He has a very clear view of things. When the officialdom and those hobbies are no longer a possibility, he will just take care of his health.
“There is always a goal.
"Unlike me, I watched comrades being executed in Machangding every day, but I was powerless to do anything and even didn't know what I could do." Yu Zecheng said with a wry smile.
"We have just arrived, Hou Teng has led his troops into Zhuzikeng.
“The armed base set up by Chai Qian is expected to be destroyed in the next two days, and hundreds or even thousands of people will be suppressed.
"Alas, this is the consequence of the wrong way of struggle." Hong Zhiyou said.
"Yes.
“That bastard Chai Qian.
“Every detail is clearly written. From the very beginning, he used the entire Bay North underground organization as a bargaining chip.
"It's so vicious and outrageous."
Yu Zecheng spat and cursed.
“The island is no longer suitable for intelligence operations.
"When we get important intelligence, we'll conduct an internal investigation. In a small place like this, the Bureau of Secret Affairs has a plethora of field agents, so we can find clues by casting a wide net.
“Furthermore, I expect the Seventh Fleet to blockade the strait at any time.
"Before we have a strong sea-based force, we can basically forget about the islands in the Gulf.
"It doesn't make much sense for you and the Deputy Minister to stay."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
This is the reality.
The US military is now a giant, while the mainland is in a state of disrepair.
Similarly, the Kuomintang government did not have the ability or the support of the people to counterattack and could only shout slogans.
Moreover, the white high-pressure policy of the Chiang father and son.
The mainland was once again blocked by the Western world.
The doors of both sides are tightly closed, and they are developing peacefully.
For a long time afterwards, it was difficult to start a war and the only options were verbal battles and artillery bombardments.
Of course, this is Hong Zhiyou's macroscopic vision as a future man.
But for those in power like Yu Zecheng and Deputy Minister Wu, they cannot see that far.
“It makes sense.
"The last time I went to see the deputy minister, he said that the Third Field Army was fighting well, and the Nationalist troops in Zhoushan Islands were being defeated, and the chairman planned to let them evacuate.
“Moreover, MacArthur seemed bent on starting a war on the peninsula.
"It is very likely that the Chairman will launch a counterattack at this time.
"The intelligence at this time may play a decisive role."
Yu Zecheng shook his head.
On the contrary, he felt that once war broke out on the peninsula, the significance of his hiding would be a hundred times more important than when he was in Tianjin.
What a bullshit decisiveness... Hong Zhiyou cursed inwardly.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to fight in the peninsula and dream of invading the Northeast. However, Sun Liren pulled out the 52nd Army three times and made sure they were ready to go, but was rejected by Truman every time.
Until the end of the war, the island of Taiwan was just a depressed spectator watching from the sidelines.
"Okay." Hong Zhiyou took a sip of tea and didn't persuade him.
People think differently.
The situation is turbulent right now. If I were Yu Zecheng, I would not be persuaded to back down with just a few words.
"Lao Yu, are you really not planning to leave Wandao?"
After chatting for a while, Hong Zhiyou Zheng Ran asked.
“Chai Qian destroyed the underground organization on Wandao Island.
“There aren’t many people left here now, so we have to keep some spark alive for the organization.
“Zhiyou, I know you’ve helped me a lot.
"But I still want to stay..."
Yu Zecheng was silent for a moment and then spoke his true feelings.
"All right.
"Then I'll stand guard for you for the last time and then I'll withdraw." Hong Zhiyou said.
He knew that the Peninsular War would begin soon.
It's the perfect time to get away.
Hong Zhiyou didn't want to wait any longer.
As for Lao Yu, everyone has different purposes in life, and Hong Zhi respects his choice.
"Thank you." Yu Zecheng nodded.
"Inspector Hong, Chief Sergeant Wan is here."
As they were chatting, Xiao Qian walked in.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Hong Zhiyou stood up and went outside, where Wanan was standing next to the car with an expressionless face.
"Get in the car, the director is looking for you." Wan An said.
Hong Zhiyou got into the car and Wan'an drove to Bashengyuan.
“Old Wan.
"You said I didn't offend you.
"You've had plenty of girls and good wine in Tokyo, and we've been through life and death together. Do you really have to be so sullen the moment you see me?"
Hong Zhiyou took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.
Wan An curled his lips: "Don't talk to me."
"What do you mean?" Hong Zhiyou asked.
"You are too powerful. Whoever gets close to you will be corrupted by you." Wan An said.
"I didn't give you any money." Hong Zhiyou smiled.
Wanan ignored him.
He admires Hong Zhiyou very much.
Hong Zhi is very human, or to be more precise, he has a unique personal charm.
It's not just about money.
Wan An couldn't tell what it was specifically.
If he were not the captain of the guard, he would be happy to make friends with Hong Zhiyou.
But after staying with Jianfeng for many years, he knew that as Jianfeng matured politically, he became more and more ruthless.
Wan'an was afraid that if he got too close to Hong Zhiyou, he would be soft-hearted when the time came to do something.
This is also what Hong Zhi is worried about.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
He and his teacher also realized that Jianfeng was no longer the same as before, and playing the emotional and loyalty cards was no longer of much use.
Once you make a mistake, you are in danger of being punished at any time.
There is no one in this world who is irreplaceable.
Just look at how much value it has.
While we still have the confidence to negotiate, the sooner we leave, the better.
If we delay it, it will only be more disadvantageous.
Arrived at the Bashengyuan office.
Hong Zhiyou stepped forward and said, "Director, why are you still awake so late?"
"Zhiyou, Mao Renfeng has been very popular recently.
“Now that my father has been reinstated, he intends to set up a General Political Department and have me serve as its director, allowing me to take charge of the intelligence system at the legislative level.
"Madam proposed that Mao Renfeng be appointed as deputy director concurrently, which clearly showed that she wanted to continue to control me. She also proposed to my father that Mao Renfeng be promoted to lieutenant general based on his recent achievements.
“You have to know that when Dai Li was alive, he was only a major general.
"It is an unwritten rule that the rank of intelligence officer cannot exceed major general.
"My father just got reinstated, so it's not easy for him to reject my wife outright, so he just said he'd think about it.
"But he is not very satisfied with my recent performance in managing the data group.
“Zhiyou, you have to open the door for me.
"Try to catch another big one."
Jianfeng raised his index finger and shook it.
"Director, didn't Team Leader Gu already dig it out very cleanly?
“I supervised cases in the Secret Service.
"The underground organizations on Wandao Island have been almost wiped out."
Hong Zhiyou said.
"Do not.
"Currently, all those arrested are red tickets. The government only has a few small fish. This is obviously abnormal. If the upper echelons did not collude with them, would they dare to develop their power so arrogantly and recklessly?
"My intuition tells me that there must be a bigger figure hiding behind this.
“That person may be between you and me.
"It could also be in the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of National Defense, or the upper echelons of the garrison."
Jianfeng glanced at Hong Zhiyou and said in a deep voice.
“It’s possible.
“But Mao Renfeng is very strict. I only have the power of supervision, not the power of action.
"What I can see are what he wants me to see." And there is still no news about Lao Zheng.
“I suspect he was holding it back on purpose.
"I'll use it as my trump card someday."
Hong Zhi nodded in agreement.
"So, we can't just sit and wait.
"Go and persuade Zhang Wencheng.
"Let's see if we can get something useful out of him." Jianfeng said.
"I think Xu Li can be re-examined.
“I’ve investigated and found out that Lao Zheng dotes on this woman to the extreme.
“Maybe she’s hiding something else.
"What I mean is, can we bring her to Bashengyuan for private interrogation?
"I'm afraid Mao Renfeng will really hold Lao Zheng captive. Even if he finds out the truth, it will be easy to mess up the situation."
Hong Zhiyou said after a moment of contemplation.
“You can try.
“This woman is now under the custody of Mao Wanli.
"If you go to pick up the person, they may not give it to you. I will let Wan An go and take the person directly to Basheng Garden.
"Nominally, the Bureau of Secrets is still under the control of the Data Group.
"I don't think Mao Wanli would dare to challenge me openly."
Jianfeng said coldly.
"Go and interrogate Zhang Wencheng first.
"After Xu Li mentions it, interrogate her alone tomorrow." He ordered again.
"Yes, Director." Hong Zhiyou gladly accepted the order.
It was obvious that Jianfeng wanted to arrest someone and interrogate him alone first.
This is something Hong Zhi is very happy about.
It would be great if Xu Li could not bear the beating and handed over Chai Qian's second diary.
So as to avoid arousing suspicion.
Anyway, Gu Youniu has already set up the plan.
Jianfeng went to drill in person, which was exactly what Hong Zhi wanted.
Return to the Secret Service.
Hong Zhiyou asked Yu Zecheng to meet Zhang Wencheng.
In the past half month, this person has been sentenced three times.
Not much more capable than Chen Dakai and the others.
Zhang Wencheng is a man of steel and has refused to confess a single word to this day. Even when he was sitting on the interrogation chair, he still held his head high and his eyes were bright.
Those who can endure three rounds of torture without yielding.
There is no doubt that Zhang Wencheng is a comrade who is truly trustworthy.
"Director Mao, Team Leader Gu, I would like to request a separate interrogation."
Hong Zhiyou said to Mao Renfeng and Gu Zhengwen who were standing beside him.
"This is inappropriate. You are just an inspector and do not have the right to interrogate." Gu Zhengwen pretended to be Mao Renfeng's confidant and said coldly.
"This is what the director meant." Hong Zhiyou said.
"I'm calling the director now!"
Gu Zhengwen snorted coldly and turned to go to the monitoring room next door. Mao Renfeng raised his hand to stop him:
“Team Leader Gu, that’s not necessary.
"Since it is the director's order, you and I will obey.
"Inspector Hong, please take your time in the interrogation."
Mao Renfeng smiled amiably.
"Thank you, Chief." Hong Zhiyou bowed.
Mao Renfeng and Gu Zhengwen quickly walked to the monitoring room next door, picked up the headphones and put them on, sneering:
"Let's see what tricks he can come up with to get Zhang Wencheng to talk."
"What can we do? All we can do is offer 20,000 or 30,000 US dollars, but I don't think Zhang Wencheng will fall for it.
"Don't forget, we also offered a high price of 20,000 US dollars and 50 taels of gold, and promised him an official position, but Mr. Zhang was completely unmoved." Gu Zhengwen said.
"Well, let's listen to it." Mao Renfeng smiled.
He didn't want Hong Zhi to find out the truth.
At present, the results of the vote suppression campaign are almost exclusively enjoyed by his own Bureau of Secrets. Once he is recommended by his wife to be the deputy director of the General Political Department and concurrently the director of the Bureau of Secrets.
The intelligence lines are still firmly in our hands.
It would be difficult for Jianfeng to ride on him.
Once seated.
Hong Zhiyou handed Zhang Wencheng a cigarette and lit it for him:
"Deputy Director Zhang.
"Chai Qian has already given you all away. I hope you can cooperate with us."
"Sorry, I have nothing to say. Come on, I just want to die quickly." Zhang Wencheng sneered.
"Zhang Wencheng, don't be ungrateful.
"This may be your last chance."
Yu Zecheng tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.
He thought about it and decided that if Zhang Wencheng could understand, he could give him a hand, but if he couldn't, he could only leave it to fate.
Zhang Wencheng looked at him and his brows twitched slightly.
Yu Zecheng used a secret code.
Zhang Wencheng also worked on Line 1. This was the most secret emergency contact code for comrades on Line 1.
"I don't need what you call an opportunity."
As he spoke, he paid attention to the signals sent by Yu Zecheng.
I quickly formed the words in my mind:
"Sword light."
This is the terminal code name given by Mr. Li to the core members of Line 1.
Zhang Wencheng nodded slightly.
Hong Zhiyou pretended to get up to pour tea, then turned his back and pretended he saw nothing.
"Kuang Fuchun."
Yu Zecheng quickly wrote three words on a piece of paper, showed it to Zhang Wencheng, and then, pretending to do it behind Hong Zhiyou's back, he gently tore it off, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it with tea.
In this way, even if Zhang Wencheng turns against him again and betrays him in the future, Hong Zhiyou will not be implicated.
Hong Zhiyou poured some tea, returned to the interrogation table, took a sip and continued to interrogate:
"Zhang Wencheng, there is no point in resisting.
"You also know that our government has always valued those of you who have turned from darkness to light.
"Some of the earlier ones include my teacher Wu Jingzhong, Cheng Yiming and others. Some of the more recent ones include Team Leader Gu and others, who are all highly regarded by the Chairman and Director Jianfeng. Some of them have been made generals, enjoying glory and wealth.
"The director promised to promote you to colonel if you ask."
"Who cares about your official positions? I have already put life and death aside when I came out to fight for the revolution. Don't talk nonsense. If you want to kill me, just do it directly." Zhang Wencheng continued to roar with disdain.
“If you don’t want an official position, then let’s get down to business.
"I know Director Mao has always been short of funds.
“You look down upon the twenty or thirty thousand dollars I gave you.
“Well, I’ll give you $100,000.
"Take the money and I can buy you another 50,000 yuan for a house, no matter where you want to go, North America, Europe, Hong Kong, or Singapore.
“In other words, as long as you ask, I will give you 150,000 US dollars.
"You know, this money is enough for you to spend for the rest of your life."
Hong Zhiyou smiled slightly and offered a sky-high price.
Zhang Wencheng fell silent for a moment.
Mao Renfeng next door was also confused:
"He, he said how much in US dollars?"
"It seems to be 150,000!" Gu Zhengwen also swallowed his saliva.
“One hundred and fifty thousand dollars!
“The surname Hong is indeed very wealthy.
“Money can make the world go round.
"See? Zhang has been so arrogant for so many days, but now he has become mute after receiving such a huge fortune."
Mao Renfeng sighed.
He has made a lot of money over the years, especially gold.
But it is still difficult to come up with 150,000 US dollars easily.
"Old Yu!" Hong Zhiyou ordered.
Yu Zecheng got up and went to the office.
He quickly brought back a black box and opened it in front of Zhang Wencheng: "Here are 200,000 US dollars, and I'll give you an extra 50,000. Are you ready to talk?"
As he spoke, he gestured.
Zhang Wencheng understood and stammered, "Are you serious about what you said, two hundred thousand US dollars?"
“You can take the money now.
"Just tell me you want to leave tonight and I can arrange it right away."
Hong Zhi nodded.
"I, I don't trust you. I will only report to Director Jianfeng personally." Zhang Wencheng said.
"it is good!
“As long as you recruit, it’s fine.
"Old Yu, first arrange for Deputy Director Zhang to take a shower and change into clean clothes before going to see the director." Hong Zhi nodded and gave the order.
"Yes."
Yu Zecheng accepted the order.
He immediately called the attendant brought by Bashengyuan and led Zhang Wencheng out of the interrogation room.
"Damn it!" Mao Renfeng from next door threw away his headphones and walked out quickly.
"Congratulations, Inspector Hong." His tone was quite sour.
"Old Yu, take the people away first." Hong Zhiyou turned around and instructed Yu Zecheng.
"it is good."
With Jianfeng's guards present, Mao Renfeng did not dare to stop them by force. He could only watch as the fat fish in his hand was snatched away by Hong Zhiyou, who had the money to buy it.
"You're joking, Chief. This is all thanks to the Director. I'm just a runner and I have some spare money." Hong Zhiyou said with a smile.
“Two hundred thousand dollars is called spare money?
"You can buy three Security Bureau buildings." Gu Zhengwen pretended to be unhappy and cursed.
“Three buildings in exchange for one big fish isn’t a bad deal.
"Working for the Party and the country, I don't care about my own life, let alone money." Hong Zhiyou, holding a cigarette in his mouth and stroking his slicked-back hair, said with a rich smile.
“Brother is still awesome.
"admire.
"But this little money is really nothing to me. I can just pick up some food and sell it."
Mao Renfeng said with a fake smile.
"Well, that's about right." Hong Zhiyou raised his shoulders and smiled without comment.
"Brother, be careful of capsizing in the ditch!"
Mao Renfeng patted his shoulder, gave him a cold reminder, and walked away.
"Commander, if you are sick, you must get treatment. Don't delay." Hong Zhiyou shouted behind him.
"Humph!"
Mao Renfeng's pace quickened, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
This guy has brains, means, and most importantly, he's fucking rich.
It's really unlucky to have such an opponent, who is Jianfeng's loyal dog.
