Chapter 469 Calling sister-in-law
Xiang Chu felt that he did not communicate well with Dainong since returning to Chongqing, so he sat next to him.
Song Xi followed her husband's lead and did not mind being the last seat, sitting next to Xiang Chu with confidence.
Minister He said with a smile: "Secretary Song! Why don't you sit closer to the front?"
Song Xi smiled and said, "I am the wife of Lord Chu. I will sit wherever Lord Chu sits."
"what?!"
Everyone in the conference room was stunned.
But they soon adapted to the situation, as it was common to get married without holding a wedding ceremony during these war-torn times.
Xiang Chu took out a brand new pure gold pen and handed it to Dai Nong, saying softly:
"Brother Dai! I forgot to give you the gift I brought back."
Dai Nong took the gold pen and said lovingly, "Thank you! Thank you, brother."
"If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"
Xiang Chu laughed heartily, showing his special relationship with him.
At the beginning of the intelligence discussion meeting, Minister He asked with a smile: "Everyone! The Soviet Union and Japan have recently launched frictions repeatedly in Zhanggufeng, Northeast China. Sir, you have concluded that the Soviet Union and Japan will launch a full-scale war. Please discuss our countermeasures?"
When everyone heard that the gentleman had determined to launch an all-out war, they all proposed forming a Sino-Soviet alliance.
Of course, more people have no idea where Zhanggufeng is or what happened there.
Minister He saw that everyone was talking nonsense, so he called on everyone one by one to express their opinions, but they all spoke nonsense.
Xiang Chu didn't want to waste time on this, so he took the initiative to speak: "Minister! Colleagues! The Russians are greedy and will fight for every inch of land. The Battle of Zhanggufeng will definitely be fought, but it will only be a small-scale battle and will definitely not lead to a full-scale war between the Soviet Union and Japan."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Isn't this a clear opposition to the gentleman's point of view?
Minister He did not speak, so Xiang Chu simply continued: “The Japanese army did not really want to seize the area for Manchukuo, but was testing whether the Soviet army had a large-scale invasion of Manchukuo, eliminating worries and launching a full-scale war against China.
Therefore, our country must reduce its reliance on foreign aid and strengthen its determination to fight the war independently."
Chen Guo sneered, "The master said that there would be an all-out war, but you said that there wouldn't be. That's just nonsense."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "The Soviet Union is carrying out a nationwide purge and is too busy to take care of itself. There will be no major war."
Xu Zeng hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chu! Do you hope that the Soviet army will not launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese?"
Song Xi's pretty face was filled with anger, and she said coldly: "Deputy Director Xu! You want to slander me, don't you?"
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense, and Minister He said hurriedly: "Okay! Let's do this research topic. The Ma'an Fortress was impregnable. It was supposed to be defended for more than a month, but it was lost in two days. Although the defending general neglected his duty, was there a Japanese spy involved? Please speak freely."
Talking about spies in public, Xiang Chu was speechless.
Moreover, he learned from a telegram reported by the head of Shanghai Special High Section, Yingzo Masaaki, seeking credit, that it was because a beautiful Japanese spy named A Xiang seduced the officer named Wang that the defense map of the Ma'an Fortress was obtained.
Everyone was talking nonstop, making wild guesses, and showing off their eloquence, but it was totally useless.
Finally, Minister He asked Xiang Chu with a smile: "Mr. Chu! What do you think?"
Xiang Chu wanted to speak, but Song Xi, who also knew the situation, kicked him lightly. He smiled bitterly and said:
"Without solid evidence, how can Chu make irresponsible comments in public?"
When he said "Chu", everyone except those who knew he was Xiang Chu's man thought his surname was Chu.
At this time, Kong Jie appeared at the door of the conference room and said with a smile:
"Minister He! Please find Secretary Song."
Song Xi whispered to Xiang Chu: "Brother! Don't say anything nonsense."
"understood!"
Xiang Chu nodded.
Song Xi left his seat and walked out of the meeting room.
Needless to say, the Kong family asked her for another plane to transport the goods.
The meeting continued, and the third intelligence study was about the Japanese using poison gas bombs.
This time Xu Zeng took the initiative to speak: "Minister He! According to our intelligence personnel, the Japanese have used poison gas bombs 10 times on the battlefield. The specific time and place are as follows..."
After listening to him, Xiang Chu understood in his heart that this information was given by him to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu provided it to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
He thought to himself, "Hmm! This is very suitable for Comrade Yuan Shu's undercover work."
At this time, Minister He asked with a smile: "Everyone! Do you have anything to add?"
Everyone was silent, so Xiang Chu simply added: "Minister! We also need to mention the incident in which the defenders of Ma'an Fortress were attacked by the Japanese poison gas bombs."
"Okay! Add it."
Minister He said happily.
He took out a sealed file bag, his expression became very serious, and he glanced at Xiang Chu.
Dai Nong quietly handed a note to Xiang Chu, who was shocked when he took it.
He stood up, holding his stomach, and apologized, "Minister! I'm so sorry, I suddenly felt sick and can't attend the next seminar."
Minister He nodded and said, "Okay! You don't have to participate."
Xiang Chu picked up his notebook and pen, quickly left the meeting room, and pretended to run to the bathroom.
He took another careful look at the note written by Dai Nong: "Brother Xiang! The following intelligence research involves Wang Manxue's family, you'd better stay away."
"At the critical moment, Dai Nong still cared about me."
Xiang Chu thought to himself, wet the note, tore it into pieces, and flushed it down the toilet.
He walked out of the bathroom and didn't see Song Xi, so he walked towards Zheng Longzheng's office.
Zheng Longzheng was sitting in his office chair in a daze. When he saw him come in, he excitedly came forward and said happily:
"Brother Xiang! When did you return to Chongqing?"
"I came to see you right after I arrived!"
Xiang Chu smiled and said with concern,
"Old Zheng! I feel like you have something on your mind?"
Zheng Longzheng smiled bitterly and said, "I received a letter from my hometown in Anhui saying that the ancestral hall and the ancestral graves were being ripped up by traitors colluding with the Japanese. My father was so angry that he wanted to take people back to my hometown to fight the traitors. How could I not be worried?"
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Does the traitor who colluded with the devils have a grudge against your family?"
Zheng Longzheng nodded and said, "Of course! The enemy coveted the good feng shui of our Zheng family's ancestral hall and tomb, and has always wanted to occupy it!"
Xiang Chu said disapprovingly: "Move a radio over here, and I'll solve it for you on the spot."
Zheng Longzheng pointed to the corner and said, "There are two new radio stations, but can you really talk to the devils?"
Xiang Chu laughed cheerfully and said, "Who do you care who I tell? But your matter is nothing to me. Hurry up and set up the radio."
"okay!"
Zheng Longzheng hurriedly did as he was told, carried the radio to the coffee table and connected it.
Xiang Chu sent a telegram and received a reply soon: "It has been done. The fake chief Diao Quanfu has been punished. No one dares to demolish the Zheng family ancestral hall or dig up the Zheng family's ancestral graves again."
Xiang Chu showed the telegram to Zheng Longzheng and then burned it.
Zheng Longzheng said excitedly: "Thank you, Brother Xiang! Thank you so much."
"Brother! You're welcome."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said thoughtfully,
"Old Zheng! Are you the one who distributes the equipment and supplies to the Chu Mansion staff?"
Zheng Longzheng nodded and said, "Yes! Secretary Song asked me to equip 300 people with equipment and supplies, but who is Lord Chu? I don't even know where to send the things."
Xiang Chu didn't want to tell him, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry about who Mr. Chu is. Just deliver the equipment and supplies for 300 people to the cargo export warehouse at Coral Dam Airport. I'll do the rest."
Zheng Longzheng asked doubtfully, "Mr. Xiang! Mr. Chu can't be you."
At this time, Song Xi walked in slowly and said with a smile:
"Brother! I guessed it right. You ran to your classmate's place."
Zheng Longzheng said in awe: "Hello, Secretary Song!"
Song Xi smiled and said, "Call me sister-in-law!"
