Chapter 75 The Clever of the War of Resistance (III)

With the peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang personally sent Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, and soon all the detained central officials were released. However, Chen Xiude and his superiors, the director of the first room, Qian Dajun, were seriously injured in the conflict with the Northeast Army on the day of the incident and were admitted to the Nanjing Army General Hospital. Fortunately, they were not in danger of their lives. After learning the news, Chen Xiuwen, who had been worried about life for the past period of time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain, I'm useless." Peng Hui stood in front of Shen Xiuwen with a shame. Peng Hui and Shen Yi and the others brought a squad of spies to Xi'an the day after the Xi'an Incident. Due to the martial law in Xi'an City, Peng Hui and others had not even found out the whereabouts of the detained Central officials. They were almost searched by the Northeast Army. It was not until the Xi'an Incident was peacefully resolved and the martial law was lifted that they learned from the radio that the injured attendant director of the first room and the leader of the second group of Shen Xiude had returned to Nanjing and transferred to the Army General Hospital for treatment. Then they led their subordinates back to Shanghai from Xi'an in shame.

"Captain, in fact, we can't blame Peng Hui and the others. After we arrived in Xi'an, the whole city was full of Northeast Army. Just because of our people, who are not familiar with the place, we can't find out the eldest young master at all. Oh no, it's news about Chief Chen. In fact, it would be good that Peng Hui could bring all his brothers back this time." Chen Yi hurriedly helped Peng Hui defend Chen Xiuwen.

Chen Xiuwen nodded. In fact, since the incident, he regretted the act of sending Peng Hui's team to Xi'an to rescue his elder brother Chen Xiude. He thought too naively that he could rescue his elder brother or protect his safety with a small army of more than a dozen people. Not to mention that the chairman's guards were all elite troops in the army, Zhang Xueliang must have made sufficient preparations to launch a mutiny. In addition, there are tens of thousands of Northeast Army stationed in the entire Xi'an city, and the dozen people led by Peng Hui were unintentionally shaking the tree. As Chen Yi said, it was already quite good for Peng Hui to bring all his brothers back.

"Peng Hui, you can bring all your brothers back because you have made merit. Don't blame yourself anymore. This time I was negligent. In fact, you shouldn't be sent. Take all your brothers down and have a good rest. Brothers have worked hard and you are rewarded with fifty dollars a day." Chen Xiuwen patted Peng Hui's shoulder and said apologetically.

Peng Hui's eyes were full of gratitude, and he stood attentively and saluted: "On behalf of my brothers, I would like to thank the group for the reward."

After Peng Hui went out, Chen Yi licked his lips and asked, "Tuanzou, isn't it important for the eldest young master to be injured?"

"I was injured in the chest and was shot. Fortunately, I didn't get the heart. I had surgery in Xi'an and am now recuperating at the Nanjing Army General Hospital. It should be fine." Chen Xiuwen sighed. After Chen Xiude returned to Nanjing, his sister-in-law He Zhenru and his sister Chen Xiuping rushed to Nanjing that day.

"Second Young Master, after the martial law in Xi'an was lifted, I found out that the eldest young master lived with the chairman in Huaqingchi, Lintong. At that time, the one who attacked Huaqingchi was Zhang Xueliang's guard battalion, and the ones led the team were Ying Detian and Sun Mingjiu. They led the people to injure the eldest young master and Chief Qian of the attendant's room, and arrested the chairman."

Chen Xiuwen unexpectedly looked at Chen Yi, the name Sun Mingjiu, who had heard of later generations, because Chiang Kai-shek, who was captured in the Xi'an Incident, was also called the hero of capturing Chiang, and said, "How did you find out?"

Chen Yi chuckled and replied: "When we were in Xi'an, we heard the radio that during the mutiny, Shao Yuanchong was killed, and Chief Qian and the eldest son were injured, so I was careful. Later, after the martial law was lifted, I bribed a Northeast army officer and pulled it out of his mouth. I went to Xi'an and did not save the eldest son. Why did I have to find out the enemy clearly?"

Chen Xiuwen smiled and beat Chen Yi's chest and said, "If you have grudges, you will get revenge. Chen Yi, you are a good boy."

After signaling Chen Yi to go out, Chen Xiuwen did it in front of his desk, picked up the pen and wrote down the words Ying Detian and Sun Mingjiu. After writing, he threw the pen to the side, looked at the two names and sneered: "Ying Detian and Sun Mingjiu, remember it for me, sooner or later, this account will be settled with you."

After the Xi'an Incident, Chiang Kai-shek fulfilled his promise, reorganized the National Government, released the detained political prisoners, stopped the policy of suppressing the Communist Party, and negotiated with the GCD to discuss the joint Red Army's anti-Japanese war and establish a united front against Japan. In addition to the three northeastern provinces occupied by Japan, there was no gunfire on China's land, and the whole country was filled with anti-Japanese voices. At the same time, Chairman Chiang's reputation reached its peak, and unanimously recognized him as the leader who led the Chinese anti-Japanese war.

Of course, the Japanese were the ones who were most uncomfortable at this time. In the Iwai Mansion, Iwai Hideichima, wearing a kimono, and Jiro Oshima, were drinking while watching the performance of Japanese geisha.

"Your Excellency, as you said at the beginning, China's opposition to the empire is becoming increasingly strong. If this continues, it will definitely threaten the empire's interests in North China and Northeast China." Jiro Oshima said with a worried look on his face.

Eiichi Iwai took a sip and said slowly: "Now the empire has occupied the northeast of China, where there are coal, steel and other resources that the empire needs the most. Originally, as long as we operated well for twenty years, we turned the northeast into the second North Korea. The empire will surely become a first-class power. But at present, the guys from the military are clamoring to the north to Mongolia and the Soviet Union all day long. After the Xi'an Incident, they wanted to launch a comprehensive military operation against China, which was too hasty."

"So the military headquarters intends to launch a comprehensive military operation in China?" Jiro Oshima seemed very excited when he heard the news. He was also a militant. Since he started to be responsible for China affairs in Iwai Mansion, he has always wanted to wash away the shame of the last time. Once the war between China and Japan begins, it will be a great development platform for him.

Iwai Hidei looked at Jiro Oshima. Since the February 26th Incident, Hirota Hirota's cabinet came to power, and the power of the military has been infinitely magnified. Whether it is the upper and grassroots officers of the military, most of them are like Jiro Oshima in front of you, and they always don't want to conquer the entire Chinese country. But can China be conquered? Iwai Hidei, who is familiar with the history of China and claims to be the first Huaguotong of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sighed helplessly. After a while of silence, he turned the topic to the current work of the mansion and asked: "Oshima, how has the work of the Third Security Regiment of Shanghai?"

Jiro Oshima immediately said with a shame: "There is no obvious progress so far, please punish me."

Eiichi Iwai shook his head gently and said, "I have seen the information summary you sent. They have been very strict in their defenses and there is no progress. However, for Chen Xiuwen, I hope you can make arrangements for him in advance."

Jiro Oshima was slightly stunned. The arrangement in Iwai Hide's mouth means that since its establishment, Iwai Mansion has been deploying undercover agents around the political, military and important figures in the military. There is a self-reliance college in Iwai Mansion that specializes in learning Chinese and the living habits of Chinese people. In fact, this is a specialized school for training specialists for China. The students who graduate from here are basically the same as those of Chinese people. Their task is to collect political, military, and economic information of China, and most of them are active around the political and military people.

Jiro Oshima didn't expect that Eiichi Iwai actually attached so much importance to Shen Xiuwen. He asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, is this necessary for Shen Xiuwen?"

Iwai Hideichi looked at Jiro Oshima with some displeasure, and his tone gradually became stern and said: "I told you last time that Shen Xiuwen is just a lieutenant colonel security commander. With his background and ability, he will sooner or later be a shining star in the Chinese national community, not to mention that he has an extraordinary relationship with James of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in the United States. On the issue of penicillin, the empire has no way to import a penicillin so far. Therefore, it is very necessary to arrange Shen Xiuwen in advance. And for this arrangement, don't rush to produce results, and look far away. There will be a war between China and Japan sooner or later, and wait for the war to take effect."

Iwai's last words were very stern. Jiro Oshima suddenly looked solemn. He knelt straight on the tatami, held his knees with both hands, and lowered his head and said, "Hayi."

Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, since the National Government stopped the policy of suppressing the Communist Party, the atmosphere in Yan'an has become much more peaceful. The Xintianyou of the Sheep on the loess high slope, and the female soldier who had just withdrawn from the front line to rest on the Yan River was washing clothes and humming the tune. This small town in northern Shaanxi was full of vitality.

If a small courtyard is not very eye-catching, if there are no large guard posts in front of the door and behind the house, it is just a typical courtyard of a middle-aged family in northern Shaanxi. However, people who are familiar with it are full of awe of this courtyard, because it is the Central Political Security Bureau.

"Now, the two parties are negotiating the second national cooperation to establish a united front against Japan. Therefore, the central government clearly instructed us to stop the internal rebellion of the Kuomintang army in the future, so as to avoid misunderstandings and directly affect the cooperation negotiations. However, we cannot relax our vigilance against the Kuomintang. For the needs of future struggles, these comrades must still stay in their current position. In the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war, they can do something for the Kuomintang, but they must never expose their identity." In a room at the easternmost end of the courtyard, Chen Geng, director of the Political Security Bureau, was conveying the latest spirit of the Central Committee's instructions to the comrades of the enemy's Ministry of Works.

After the meeting, Chen Geng called Li Kenong, deputy director and director of the enemy's work department, and asked with a smile: "Comrade Kenong, is there any situation with my life-savior Chen Xiuwen recently?"

Li Kenong recalled carefully and replied: "There is no recent report on Chen Xiuwen. According to previous information, Chen Xiuwen is now in charge of the defense areas of the two airports of Shanghai Hongqiao and Longhua." As he said, Li Kenong smiled and approached Chen Geng and whispered: "We arranged for the past comrades to have officially contacted Shen Xiuwen. But according to the latest instructions, we have to give up the rebellion against Chen Xiuwen. Don't you feel sorry?"
