Li Wei served as the guide and took Gao Jiu and others for dozens of miles. He was not very familiar with him. The underground party had sent new traffic officers to serve as the guide, so Li Wei said goodbye to Gao Jiu and others.

In just over a day, what Li Wei experienced was even more exciting than everything he experienced in his life.

After saying goodbye to Gao Jiu and others, he walked back and recalled the experience of the day, as if he was dreaming.

When he thought of the seized weapons and equipment, he came to his senses and was anxious to rush back and enjoy the fruits of victory.

After returning to the guerrillas' garrison, Minister Liu was also waiting for him there. Looking at the mountains of weapons and equipment, both of them were very excited and decided to recruit new team members immediately and expand the guerrillas.

During the next trip, Gao Jiu and others did not go through the battle anymore and successfully entered the base of the Binhai Underground Party.

I heard that Gao Jiu has arrived, and the main leaders of the underground party came to greet him in person.

In the conference room, the leaders held a discussion with Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and others.

The leaders expressed their sincere gratitude to Gao Jiu for his help to the underground party over the years, and then talked about the situation of the world's anti-*** war.

The underground party also has their intelligence channels and is optimistic about the development of the world's anti-*** war. However, the Japanese army is still very strong at present, and everyone is ready to persist in the struggle for a long time.

Gao Jiu knew the course of history. The Japanese army will surrender on August 15 next year. With Japan's surrender, the domestic and international situation will undergo major changes, which is very important for the underground party.

Of course, Gao Jiu cannot be a charlatan and cannot be explained too accurately. He deeply analyzed the situation of the world anti-*** war that he learned from from the politics, military and economic aspects of the allies and major countries of the Axis powers. His data is detailed, his analysis is incisive, and he has strong persuasive power.

The leaders were able to conclude from it that the War of Resistance Against Japan could win in a short period of time.

Gao Jiu suggested that the underground party should pay attention to the Northeast and send a large number of underground party members to the Northeast to prepare for receiving the Northeast in advance.

The Northeast was the most economically developed region in the country at that time, especially the region with the best heavy industry foundation. If the underground party could master the Northeast, their strength would be greatly improved.

The leaders of the underground party attached great importance to Gao Jiu's suggestions. After the symposium, they held a special meeting to study and drafted a telegram to report to their superiors.

At the symposium, after everyone talked about the international situation, they began to discuss the situation of the anti-Japanese struggle in the North China region, which focuses on Shandong.

The underground party hopes that Gao Jiu can invest more energy in Shandong and cooperate closely with the underground party to crack down on the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong.

They knew that Gao Jiu had a huge influence on the 41st Corps of the Fruit Army stationed in Henan, and hoped that they could restrain the Japanese army in the Henan area, stick to the Shandong direction, and increase the pressure on the Japanese army in this regard.

Gao Jiu said that before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he would invest more energy in the Shandong region to fight against Japan with the Shandong underground party, and provide weapons, equipment, funds and air force support to the Shandong underground party.

At the symposium, Jiang Xiaomei also made a speech, focusing on Gao Jiu's support for the Southwest Shandong Army Arsenal.

Gao Jiu also said that he would continue to provide financial and technical support to the arsenal in southwestern Shandong.

The underground party invited Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and others to participate in the military meeting. This time they planned to take advantage of the current shortage of Japanese troops to counterattack the Japanese army, narrow the enemy-occupied areas, and expand the anti-Japanese base.

They hope that Gao Jiu can help the underground party in southern Shandong to defend Tai'an City, and at the same time launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops along the railway, restrain the Japanese troops, and cooperate with the counterattack of the underground party in Shandong to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu also agreed one by one.

Gao Jiu spared no effort to help the underground party. The underground party once discussed whether to develop Gao Jiu to join the underground party. They specifically discussed this issue with Jiang Xiaomei.

Jiang Xiaomei directly advised everyone to dispel this idea, saying that Gao Jiu was a big capitalist or a warlord, and his lifestyle was incompatible with the underground party's propositions, and there was no such possibility at all.

The underground party completely cut off this idea. They felt very strange and did not understand why Gao Jiu spared no effort to support the underground party.

In order to find out the answer, the leaders of the underground party held a special meeting to discuss this issue.

Some people suggested that Gao Jiu was for Jiang Xiaomei, but most of the leaders were very skilled. They believed that Gao Jiu's pattern was far beyond that just for personal gain, and there should be deeper reasons.

In order to figure this out, a person in charge of the underground party came to talk to Gao Jiu alone and asked Gao Jiu about his views on the underground party.

Gao Jiu fully affirmed the underground party, saying that the underground party represents China's hope for the future, and that the fragmented China can only be united and reborn.

Gao Jiu said that the reason he would do his best to help the underground party is because the underground party represents China's future. He hopes to see China achieve great national rejuvenation under the leadership of the underground party.

The person in charge of the underground party was very happy to hear this. He admired Gao Jiu very much and felt a little regretful that such talents did not join the underground party.

However, the underground party’s proposition is to unite all forces that can be united, and they still sincerely welcome patriots like Gao Jiu.

After all the things that should be discussed were discussed, Gao Jiu and others said goodbye and prepared to leave.

The enemy minister of the underground party met with Gao Jiu, hoping that Gao Jiu would do the work of the Third Division of the Public Security Army on the way back to Taohua Mountain.

After Gao Jiu's introduction, Zhao Wannian, the commander of the Third Division of the Public Security Army, had established close ties with the underground party. They hoped that the Third Division of the Public Security Army could fight against the Japanese invaders like the Fourth Division and devote themselves to the anti-Japanese cause.

So far, no substantial progress has been made in this matter. The underground party hopes that Gao Jiu will help do his work again.

Gao Jiu also agreed, and the enemy Minister of Works of the underground party followed Gao Jiu and others to Yongcheng to meet Zhao Wannian, the commander of the Third Division of the Public Security Army.

The Third Division of the Public Security Army in Yongcheng, North Shandong.

Gao Jiu once told Zhao Wannian about the end of the Anti-Japanese War. He said that the Japanese army would definitely fail completely and that they must join the underground party before Japan surrenders, otherwise they would be regarded as traitors and punished.

Zhao Wannian also followed Gao Jiu's opinion and established a secret contact with the underground party. Both sides had already talked about the Third Division's uprising and joining the underground party.

However, things changed a little later, and the matter was delayed again.

When Zhao Wannian heard that Gao Jiu had arrived in Yongcheng, he went out to meet Gao Jiu.

After the greetings, Gao Jiu asked, "Brother Zhao, how are your progress with the underground party?"

Zhao Wannian said that there were some things he had not handled yet, and there were differences within the army, so it was possible that the uprising could not be held yet and joined the underground party.

Zhao Wannian's attitude was very positive before, but now he is obviously a bit perfunctory. After Gao Jiu's questioning, Zhao Wannian explained the whole story.

It turned out that at the beginning of the year, he was ready to lead the Third Division to hold an uprising and join the underground party.

However, after serving as the commander of the North China Front Army, Gangcun strengthened the management of the puppet army. He required all units above the puppet army to be stationed with Japanese surveillance troops. These members were composed of the special high school class and the military police. The surveillance of the puppet army was very strict, which caused great trouble to the uprising of the Third Division.

After listening to his words, Gao Jiu thought he was perfunctory.

It has long been normal for the Japanese army to monitor the puppet army, and such a reason is purely an excuse.

He said with some displeasure: "Teacher Zhao, this is probably not the real reason."

Gao Jiu played a crucial role in Zhao Wannian’s existence today. He was very grateful and admired Gao Jiu. Of course, he was also a little afraid.

Seeing that Gao Jiu's attitude changed and even his name changed to "Teacher Zhao", Zhao Wannian became a little panicked. He was very embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gao Jiu guessed the reason and said, "You still can't see the situation clearly and are lucky. If this continues, it will harm you sooner or later."

Seeing Gao Jiu's attitude getting colder, Zhao Wannian told the whole story.

It turned out that not long ago, the Chief of Staff of the 12th Army talked to him and said that he was preparing to be promoted to the acting commander of the First Army of the Public Security Army. After observing for a period of time, he could be officially promoted to the commander of the First Army.

Zhao Wannian was not so well-informed and did not know much about the situation of the world's anti-*** war. In his mind, the Japanese army was still very powerful. Although Gao Jiu told him that the Japanese army was about to fail, he still couldn't see it for the time being.

He did not have any major political debts, and getting promoted and made a fortune was his ideal. He was about to become the commander, and it was difficult for him to resist the huge temptation. In this case, he was very reluctant to let him give up his comfortable and superior life and join the underground party, which has very difficult conditions in all aspects.

Gao Jiu understood his mood and said to him: "Teacher Zhao, if people do not have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. I have pointed out a bright path for you. If you don't believe me, you will have to let you do it. Just don't regret it at that time.

From today on, we are no longer friends. If you are your puppet army, I am my anti-Japanese army, and you will be enemies on the battlefield in the future. Let's leave this today, and I hope you won't meet on the battlefield in the future."

Zhao Wannian was once the chief officer of Wang Zhankui, and Wang Zhankui felt very regretful about Zhao Wannian's choice.

He said: "Old Master, in this world, if you don't even believe the words of Master Jiu, I have nothing to say. The friendship between us will end here. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. Let's leave here."

Gao Jiu and Wang Zhankui no longer paid attention to Zhao Wannian. After leaving the location where they met with Zhao Wannian, they went to find the enemy Minister of Workers who were waiting for news and told him about his meeting with Zhao Wannian, saying that he could not help with this matter. Since Zhao Wannian chose a dead end, the underground party should not waste any more energy on him.

The enemy Minister of Workers involved a lot of energy in this matter, and he felt regretful of this result, but since Gao Jiu had said this to this extent, he had to give up.

The enemy Minister of Workers followed Gao Jiu and others over for this matter. Now that the matter has come to an end, he is ready to say goodbye to Gao Jiu and others and return to the base.

At this moment, Jia Liu received a telegram from Zhao Wannian, saying that he had figured it out and hoped that Gao Jiu could give him another chance. He said that he wanted to become the commander and then contact the underground party, so that he could lead more people to the underground party in the future.

Gao Jiu believed that Zhao Wannian was not sincere. Perhaps he really wanted to be the commander and had more capital to negotiate with the underground party and gain more benefits. Of course, he was more likely to make excuses to shirk. On the one hand, he wanted to continue to be a traitor, and was unwilling to completely cut off his retreat.

The head of the enemy engineering department was not willing to give up on this matter. He believed that Zhao Wannian still had the possibility of fighting for it, so he hoped that Gao Jiu would help create conditions and continue to contact Zhao Wannian.

Gao Jiu despised such people who were untrustworthy and was unwilling to pay attention to Zhao Wannian again, saying that he would no longer participate in the matter.

Gao Jiu and Wang Zhankui bid farewell to the enemy engineering department chief and embarked on the way back to Taohua Mountain.

On the way, Wang Zhankui was a little depressed. He recommended his old commander Zhao Wannian back then, and Gao Jiu helped him become the commander of the Third Division of the Public Security Army. Over the years, the two sides have maintained a good relationship. Zhao Wannian also helped the underground party to do some work. Today, this result made Wang Zhankui very unhappy.

Gao Jiu was right. Zhao Wannian really hoped that he could become the commander and have greater strength, so that he could be valued by the Japanese and also increased the bargaining chips for negotiations in the underground party. He wanted to take two boats and see the situation before talking about it, so he sent Gao Jiu this telegram.

Gao Jiu and others returned to Taohua Mountain. When they passed by Taoyuan Town, someone came to the door.

Gao Jiu was a little surprised when he saw the visitor. Wang Zhankui was very happy because the visitor was Zhao Wannian.

Why did Zhao Wannian suddenly appear here?

It turned out that after Zhao Wannian sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, he did not reply, which made Zhao Wannian uneasy. He knew that from now on, his friendship with Gao Jiu would have been completely cut off.

He has always lived a very comfortable life because he has the backer of Gao Jiu, who knows that he will have a way out in the future no matter what. But now he can only rely on the Japanese invaders wholeheartedly.
