Anti-Japanese Ace Agent

Chapter 219
"Station Master, your proposal is considered inappropriate. Now it is the most disturbing operation to eliminate anti-Japanese elements since the fall of Shangjiang City launched by the Japanese and the puppet government. This has been going on for many days. In the Japanese-occupied area of ​​Jiangshi City, checkpoints were set up every three to five streets to strictly check the passing personnel and vehicles. Moreover, I heard that this time the Japanese secretly instructed the spies formed by the Wang puppet government The joint police station secretly arrested many anti-Japanese elements.

"A reporter from our newspaper reported to me that at about eleven o'clock in the morning two days ago, on the street in front of the Church of Santa Maria in the French Concession, anti-Japanese elements shot and killed the vehicles of the Secret Service. I believe that the Secret Service will launch a crazy counterattack in the next few days. If we, the military commander of Shangjiang City, run a private newspaper and distribute it in Shangjiang City at this juncture, it will definitely arouse the anger of the Japanese and the Wang puppet government. Note that at that time, many comrades from the Shangjiang Military Command Station will inevitably be arrested and implicated.

"So, Zhicheng does not recommend that you run a newspaper privately at this time. In Zhicheng's opinion, it is not too late for you to discuss this matter after the news has passed." After Li Boru on the side said that he wanted to publish his own newspaper, now that he is the president of the Wang puppet government newspaper in Shangjiang City, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his hands trembled. The copy of "Shangjiang News" fell on the floor in front of him, he didn't care to bend down to pick it up, and quickly expressed his true opinion to Li Boru frankly.

After listening to Sun Zhicheng's seemingly reasonable words, Li Boru did not refute or express his opinion. Instead, he bent down and picked up the dropped copy of "Shangjiang News" from the floor in front of Sun Zhicheng. Newspaper.After he straightened up, he flicked off a thin layer of dust on the newspaper page with a finger, and gently placed the newspaper on the desk in front of him.

"Zhicheng, you have been working in the newspaper office run by the Wang Puppet Government of Shangjiang City for almost four years. During these four years, as a silent latent personnel, I did not send any of our My own people went to get in touch with you. But today, I sent my housekeeper to call you over to meet me. You should know that I came to you this time because I saw the importance of starting a private newspaper, otherwise, I Will keep you silent forever.

"More than four years ago, when Shangjiang City was first occupied by the Japanese army, the reason why I put you in the newly established Wang Puppet Government of Shangjiang City as the president of this newspaper is that one day in the future, you You can use your professional expertise and your position to help the party-state and the military to re-open a newspaper of our own for extensive publicity.

"However, the underground party has already flourished without any foundation, and it has had a great influence among the people in Shangjiang City, so why can't our military commander not be afraid of it?" How about running a newspaper to promote us by ourselves?" Li Boru turned around, faced Sun Zhicheng who was standing opposite him trembling, and talked about his views in a pleasant manner.

"Station Master, the gang of underground party members lurking in Shangjiang City are all idealists who are not afraid of death. How can we compare with them? Zhicheng thinks that we will start the business after this period of time has passed. Your own newspaper is the best choice. This will not only reduce the risk of being seized by the Japanese Mei Agency and the Wang Puppet Government’s Secret Service, but also reduce the sacrifices of our military control station staff.

"At the same time, we can also take advantage of this opportunity to report to the Wang puppet government the newspapers run by the underground party members privately, so as to attack the power of the underground party members in Shangjiang City. When the time comes, once Japan The people were defeated and the Wang puppet government fell, and the underground party members in Shangjiang City have nothing to fear.” After listening to Li Boru who was standing opposite him, Sun Zhicheng did not change his original thoughts. , Instead, the attention and focus have shifted to how to retaliate against the underground party lurking in Shangjiang City, pretending to be sincere, and said mysteriously.

"Zhicheng, why have you been with the Wang puppet government in Shangjiang City for the past few years? Your courage has become smaller and smaller, and your heart has also become smaller. Your previous courage and courage are all gone. Where did you go? You should know better than me that now is the critical period when the KMT and the Communist Party have established a national united front to jointly resist Japan. How many years it will take to drive the Japanese army out of the country is unknown.

"Right now, the Japanese army headquartered in the East China Military Headquarters in Shangjiang City has been relegated and tens of thousands of people have devoted themselves to a large-scale sweep of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. With the strong cooperation of the Japanese army, the vanguard of the Japanese army has been severely defeated. This disastrous Japanese vanguard was a Japanese university classmate when I was studying in Japan. Therefore, in this critical period, we cannot point the finger at the Japanese army. To the underground party, but to pull together against the Japanese and the Wang puppet government.

"It is precisely because the wind is tight at this time that the Japanese and the Wang puppet government are afraid. I am afraid that there will be chaos in Shangjiang City, which is their rear area, so we have stepped up our guard. Our purpose is to make Shangjiang City The more chaos we have, the better it is for us. Of course, it's not that I haven't considered the safety of our military command station personnel, so I just said that the name of this privately run newspaper is "Shangjiang City News". The newspaper "Shangjiang News" privately run by Jiang City's underground party has only one word difference, which is used to confuse the public and divert the attention of the Japanese and the secret agencies of the Wang puppet government.

"What I said just now, Zhicheng, can you understand?" Li Boru immediately became angry when he saw Sun Zhicheng's expression of having no ambitions and only thinking about surviving.However, he considered that running a private newspaper this time would definitely require a lot of effort from Sun Zhicheng, so he didn't give him a harsh reprimand, but suppressed the anger in his heart, and made some moves against him. At the same time, he confessed his true inner thoughts flatly, and asked in a friendly manner.

"Understand, understand, webmaster, Zhicheng understands what you said just now. What Zhicheng just said was not thoughtful enough and too one-sided. I also ask the webmaster to criticize and give advice to Zhicheng. Zhicheng Willing to follow the instructions and orders of the station master at any time." After seeing Li Boru's counterattack forcefully and rationally to what he said just now, Sun Zhicheng, knowing that he was wrong, hurriedly nodded to Li Boru in agreement.

Seeing that he had finally persuaded Sun Zhicheng, an old subordinate whom he had not seen for many years, after going through a lot of trouble, Li Boru hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity, whispered in his ear, and told him in a soft voice about the preparation of the newspaper.

Sun Zhicheng stayed in Li Boru's study for about half an hour, and at nearly eleven o'clock at night, he left Li's mansion in a panic and returned to his home.
