Agents of the Republic of China

The time goes back to the winter day in the 26th year of the Republic of China. The embassies of various countries had already retreated before the start of the Battle of Nanjing. Because Hong Chawei had to deal with some confidential documents and personnel arrangements of the embassies, he stayed at the end and waited for him to evacuate. At that time, the Japanese army had already captured the city of Nanjing.

Hong Chawei was surrounded by refugees and ran forward blindly. There were ruins and corpses everywhere. He couldn't tell which street or area it was.Cannonballs are like ghosts everywhere, constantly exploding around them, and each explosion will take away several lives.

Suddenly he found a familiar figure in the crowd, he chased after him, and patted that person on the shoulder, "White, why are you here?"

White is a war correspondent for the New York Herald in the United States. Hong Chawei has met him several times. He is a brave middle-aged man. For more than a year, he has been in every corner of the Sino-Japanese battlefield. Send countless fresh and cruel reports to the United States, so that more people can understand the tragic war that took place in this ancient land.

Holding a briefcase tightly, White was also surprised to see Honchawi, but he was still very happy to meet his compatriots.

"Where's your precious camera?" Hon Chavey asked in surprise.

Hearing such a question, White's eyes darkened, and he said while running, "This is the scariest area I have ever seen, you know? As soon as the Japanese entered the city, organized massacres began, a large number of The defeated soldiers and civilians were systematically killed, and the corpses were destroyed. I took some photos, and in order to escape here as soon as possible, I had to throw away my camera!"

Hong Chawei was startled. Originally, he still had a good chance of escaping Nanjing by virtue of his identity as an American. Even if he was caught by the Japanese, at least for now, they would not embarrass an American citizen, but White It was different, if the film he was carrying was discovered, what awaited the two of them would be an unexplained death.

Hong Chawei's thoughts turned, but at this moment, a desperate cry suddenly sounded from the crowd, "Japanese plane!"

Two Type [-] light bombers with plastered flags swooped down with ear-piercing roars, a series of bombs tilted down, and the flames of the explosion instantly flooded the entire block.

Honchawi cleverly dragged White and jumped into a crater, holding his head in his hands, enduring the constant trembling from the ground, and half of their bodies were buried in the splashing mud.

Soon, the bomber flew away, and Honchawi poked his head out of the mud and pulled Whitera out again.

The two climbed out of the crater with both hands and feet, and there were not many active figures around.The two walked out of the gunpowder smoke with their arms, and few of the corpses that could be seen everywhere were complete.

Not far away, a figure was sitting under a half tree, holding a person in his arms. Hong Chawei tentatively approached, but couldn't help crying out. "Mr. Nie?"

Nie Shangyun turned his head, his gown was already covered with traces of mud and gunpowder smoke, when he saw Hong Chawei, his dull face began to show some expression, "Are you Mr. Hong?"

It was only then that Hong Chawei discovered that there was another corpse not far from him. It was a young man whose chest and abdomen had been hit by shrapnel and he had already lost his breath.And Nie Shangyun was still holding a middle-aged man about 40 years old in his arms. The glasses on the bridge of his nose had long since lost their lenses. Shang Yun's arm, struggling to utter a word, "You should have saved him, without him, we, we can't find anything!"

After speaking, he tilted his head and stopped breathing.

Nie Shangyun slowly closed the man's unclosed eyes, muttering to himself, "This is fate!"

Later, Hong Chawei helped Nie Shangyun hide the two remains of his companion, and then continued on the road together.

But he didn't go far, and he was overtaken by the pursuers behind him.

At this moment, Shen Chang arrived in time with several of his men and rescued the three of them.

……

"This is everything before I met you, and I've told you every detail I can think of!" Honchawi smoked the cigar, recalled it carefully, and then said.

"They seem to be looking for something, and the only clue is broken, so it seems, it seems..." Hong Chawei couldn't think of any words to describe the state of Nie Shangyun and others, "Oh! By the way, it's despair !"

Lin Xiaotang looked at him, but his mind kept thinking about the only two conversations and expressions between Nie Shangyun and his companion described by Hong Chawei.

"Should I save him, who should I save? I can't find it. What do Nie Shangyun and the others want to find? What does this have to do with elder brother?" Originally, Lin Xiaotang hoped to find some useful clues from Hong Chawei, but he never expected , the current state is indeed more chaotic.All the clues he already had were broken, and the information he heard today were all riddles. Such clues only forced Lin Xiaotang to develop more ideas, so the confusion became more and more confusing.

Hong Chawei saw that something was wrong with Lin Xiaotang's expression, and hurriedly explained to him, "Lin, in the words of you Chinese, don't be too persistent, the dead are dead, maybe some things are destined to be drowned in history, you are so poor Searching for the answer with all your heart, it may be a waste of effort, or you may finally get an answer that you can't accept at all!"

Lin Xiaotang rubbed his sore temples, and smiled apologetically at Hong Chawei, "I'm really sorry, I lost my temper. You're right, these things really can't be rushed. Let's change the subject and talk about your mission Bar!"

Hong Chawei was right before that his mission was indeed related to Japan.It is now the 28th year of the Republic of China, and the whole world is shrouded in the cloud of war. Germany in Europe has annexed Austria and Slovakia, and the huge war machine has begun to operate. No one knows what the next target of the millions of elite German troops will be. where is it.Japan and Italy have become staunch allies of Germany, and they are trying to launch a war that will change the world pattern.

On the Asian battlefield, although the Japanese army's offensive has slowed down, it is still aggressive. Although the clamor of "destroying China in three months" has been completely reduced to empty words, the Japanese are no longer limited to the achievements in front of them. They have begun to set their sights on the whole of Asia and even European battlefield.

For a long time, the Japanese military circles have had two strategic decisions, "going north" and "going south", but it is said that until today there has been no conclusion.Hong Chawei's task is to obtain the highest level of Japanese military intelligence at all costs to determine the next strategic offensive direction of the Japanese army.

Lin Xiaotang loosened his shoulders, "Old Hong, this is a difficult situation for you. I am a businessman. At best, I am suitable for the Nanjing government to cooperate in some business and earn some hard money. It will take my boss's effort to get you some general information. A lot of favors and a lot of money were spent. Now you are lucky, the lion opened his mouth and asked me to get their highest-level intelligence, are you kidding me?"

Hong Chawei smiled confidently, "Okay, we are all colleagues, so don't act in front of me! My stationmaster Lin!"

Lin Xiaotang was taken aback, then blushed.

Hong Chawei continued: "You rebuilt the Nanjing Station without any effort, and then returned to Shanghai, and took advantage of the struggle between Li Shiqun and the military commander to control the intelligence organization of the military commander in Shanghai. Who are you looking for?"

Lin Xiaotang gave a thumbs up, "Okay, the news is fast enough!"

Hong Chawei immediately comforted: "Lin, don't worry, I have already reported your information to the country, and our intelligence bureau is also very interested in you. You also know that once Japan sets its strategic direction as southward, we and The British will bear the brunt of their attack. Therefore, we urgently need a reliable and capable partner. Your country's military command and central command would have been a good choice, but their internal fighting is too fierce, plus The Chongqing government is corrupt, and all kinds of spies are mixed in. In order to ensure the confidentiality and security of intelligence, we have selected you as a partner in the enemy-occupied area."

Hong Chawei looked at Lin Xiaotang's expression, and blinked at him, "I also know that you are also very happy to be the general manager of the military command in the enemy-occupied area. This can be seen from your annexation of Shanghai Railway Station. And we will fully support you to achieve this goal, as a return for you to provide us with valuable information, is this condition okay?"

Lin Xiaotang touched his chin. The American intelligence agency behind Hong Chawei found out his background in the military command. This is not unusual. The military command has maintained good cooperation with the United States before. Lin Xiaotang was not shocked by Chongqing's training of spies.But the terms offered by Hon Chavey made his heart skip a beat, because the bait they threw coincided with his and Yugong's plan.

With the secret assistance of the Americans, the dream of controlling the intelligence system of the entire enemy-occupied area will be realized ahead of schedule.The reason is that the Americans will help them resolve the heavy resistance from Dai Li and Chongqing.

Dai Li is not a fool, he has seen Lin Xiaotang's actions, and I believe he has seen Lin Xiaotang's intentions at this time, otherwise, he would not have sent Chen Gongtu to Shanghai in a hurry. Obviously, Dai Li wants to treat Lin Xiaotang Let's do it.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaotang snapped his fingers, "Lao Hong, since we're talking about this, let's open the skylight and ask me to provide information, no problem. Since it's cooperation, you must come up with something practical." Come on, that plan of yours is so empty that there is no real benefit. In a word, you should fully support the funds, equipment, and personnel training. Also, I hope that occasionally, you can reveal to me some of my ideas. Information about the military command that you are interested in!"

Hong Chawei smiled bitterly, "Maybe I really misunderstood you, you are indeed more like a businessman!"

Lin Xiaotang frowned and thought hard, "Also, I hope you can send me some officers who are proficient in special operations. Don't refuse yet, I know you have already started such a plan last year!"

Hong Chawei was dumbfounded, "You are such a devil, this is our top secret, how do you know?"
