1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Great achievement!!

Puzzled, Bao Shanfu asked his subordinates to pick up the paper. He saw the telegram that read "9 people from the Central Committee..." After understanding its meaning, he was suddenly shocked. Had the Communist Party's central organization in Shanghai been completely destroyed?

When did this happen?!

Why was our Party Affairs Investigation Department completely unaware of this?! Was it the "Special Agent Group" who did this?

That's not right!

The special agent team also reports to me! Who is that?

The other teams sent by Director Xu?

Do not!

impossible!

There's no way this kind of major matter could possibly bypass me, the "Director of the Shanghai Office"!

There is only one possibility, that is, these bastards are trying to frame me or steal my credit!! No wonder Director Bao came up with this idea the first time.

Everyone in the Nationalist secret service knew that the chairman had been trying to push Dai Li to challenge Director Xu.

"By letting the subordinates fight among themselves and spy on each other, they will be forced to rely on the superiors, and the superiors will know everything about the subordinates." This is the emperor's mindset and tactics. Originally, the people in the Party Affairs Investigation Section didn't have much objection to this. After all, they were just doing their job, and what the superiors said was what they had to do.

Director Xu had even quietly sent word down, asking everyone to be prepared for a deterioration in relations with Dai Li's group, and to act out a scene together to reassure the old man; but damn, these bastards from the Renaissance Society were going too far!

In order to grab the credit, they actually resorted to such means!

They must have heard vaguely about Qian Zhuangfei and Yang Dengying (a righteous man who helped Qian Zhuangfei pass intelligence to the CCP), and they wanted to use this to step on our Investigation Department to gain power! (Note: At this time, the story of Qian Zhuangfei had not yet spread, at least not to Chiang Kai-shek's ears, because Xu Enzeng was afraid of being punished and concealed the news of Qian's "rebellion").

Director Bao didn't know that in addition to the telegram, the members of the Renaissance Society on the other side had received what kind of orders: "All personnel in Nanjing and Shanghai must be mobilized to capture the traitor at the sending point! You are allowed to shoot and kill directly!" This is probably the main meaning of "Dai Li's" telegram order.

So, are they excited?

The first official mission carried out by the Renaissance Society was such a big case. Don’t you think they were arrogant? So, this scene happened today.

If the KMT had been a little more united, if their internal strife hadn't been so intense, if they had had a bit of organizational discipline, this wouldn't have happened. However, there aren't that many "ifs" in this world.

Director Bao roared:

"I don't care who you are! I don't care who you listen to. Without the Chairman's order, no one can search this place today!" "It seems that you, the Party Affairs Investigation Section, are guilty of your crimes... Arrest them all!"

"How dare you!"

The Renaissance Society, eager to make a name for itself, believed that a traitor had emerged from the Party Affairs Investigation Section, and that this was a golden opportunity for them to severely humiliate the other party and simultaneously establish the authority of the new department. The Party Affairs Investigation Section itself was already unhappy about the impending competition and the significant diversion of resources from it, and it also felt somewhat guilty about having several major traitors within the department before.

So, in less than a minute, the atmosphere on the scene escalated to a tense point.

Even though the Japanese invaders were invading Shanghai and fighting the 19th Route Army to the death, it did not prevent the Kuomintang from engaging in internal strife!

At this moment, there was a faint shrill sound from the sky, and it was getting closer and closer.

The Party Affairs Investigation Section and others, lacking actual combat experience, were slow to react, but the members of the Renaissance Society, who were military veterans themselves, reacted immediately, their faces changing dramatically: "Oh no! It's artillery fire!"

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”

A few seconds later, everyone from the Party Affairs Investigation Section and the Renaissance Society were buried in the artillery fire.

Not long after, Yukichi Shiozawa, who was commanding the Japanese Navy's final offensive on the flagship with red eyes, asked his adjutant in confusion: "Isn't the position the Tsushima ship just hit a little wrong?"

"Uh...it seems to be a little off the mark...maybe I accidentally hit it?" "...really..."

Shiozawa Yukichi shook his head and ordered:

"Send a telegram to the Tsushima ship and ask them to strike on time!" "Hey!"

After saying that, the two men put the matter behind them and focused on the attack of the troops on the shore.

The captain of the Tsushima ship was confused when he received the telegram.

I've been given the exact coordinates, how can I be more precise?

Ah... wah-ka-da wah-ka-da...

You must think I didn't hit you hard enough, right?

Just say it straight!

"Pass the order down, aim at the previous position and fire another round!"

"Hi!"

062 The Chairman's spies are experts in civil war

Just as the anxious Major General Yukiichi Shiozawa was gambling his last chance and launching a fierce attack on the 19th Route Army, someone was also launching a "fierce attack" about 500 kilometers away from Shanghai.

"Principal! It must have been done by the traitor hidden in the investigation department!"

Dai Li roared with red eyes:

"My colleagues in the Renaissance Society died tragically!!!"

To be honest, it’s no wonder that Dai Li was so angry.

The elite of the soon-to-be-formed organization went to catch a traitor but was caught in the act. You would be anxious too. After receiving certain intelligence and confirming the transmission point, Dai Li had two reactions:

1. Damn it! Xu has done something like this again!

Last year's capture of Gu Shunzhang had already given the Xu family a huge advantage in front of the old man, and now this year they've even taken down the entire Shanghai CCP leadership! Now, aren't those people in the Party Affairs Investigation Section going to be so proud?

2. Great! There's actually a spy inside the Party Affairs Investigation Section who actually leaked this crucial information! This could allow a large number of Communist Party members to escape! If our "Fuxing Society" can seize this opportunity, we can definitely share some of the credit!

Overjoyed and eager to gain a great reputation in front of the old man so as to secure more resources for the "Special Branch of the Chinese National Renaissance Society" scheduled to be established in March of this year and for himself, Dai Li immediately sent a telegram with the order: "Investigate carefully and make sure to obtain solid evidence!"

Then, "Director Dai" (actually he had not been appointed yet, it was just a name people were calling internally) continued to accompany Chairman Chiang in Xuzhou, waiting for the result calmly.

During this process, when Director Xu from the Party Committee Investigation Section came to see the old man to report on his work, he even praised the Party Affairs Investigation Section from the side, which made the other party very confused. This was certainly not Director Dai's kindness.

Because, the louder you praise it now, the more furious the old man will be when he finds out something big has happened in the Party Affairs Investigation Section, right?

However, Director Dai soon received news that the remaining secret agents at 53 Ji'e Lane in Nanjing and the Shanghai garrison personnel had been taken away by an explosion at a Party Affairs Investigation Section base. Incidentally, although they said they were the entire staff, there were actually less than 30 people in total.

There is no way. Now the "Party Affairs Investigation Section" of the CC faction is the intelligence force that the old man relies on the most, and Dai Li really doesn't have many people available.

However, compared with the Party Affairs Investigation Section which had already shown signs of being "old and frail" and "disobeying orders", his "Fuxing Society" was indeed full of talented people who spoke well. Therefore, the loss was so heavy that even a cold-blooded animal like Dai Li felt extremely heartbroken.

These are all important forces for him to fight for power and profit in the future!

Fuck once and it's gone!!

Damn the Communists, how dare they bury high explosives in a place like that!!

Of course! The most incompetent department has to be the Party Affairs Investigation Department! They actually allowed a traitor to bury explosives in such a place!

At this moment, Dai Li automatically erased the credit of the Party Affairs Investigation Section for successfully destroying the entire Shanghai Communist (pseudo) Central Committee.

By the way, although those shells were fired by the Japanese, how could the Kuomintang know? Even if they knew, how could they find the Japanese to verify it? In the chaos and endless artillery fire, the Japanese themselves were too lazy to investigate where the shells fired by the Tsushima ship went, let alone the Kuomintang.

Therefore, even before a detailed investigation began, Dai Li automatically attributed the explosion to a "traitor detonating explosives and perishing together." Director Xu, who was being criticized, lowered his head and let Director Dai's saliva spray into his face without refutation.

Because he was still in a daze.

what?

The Communist Party (pseudo) Central Committee was actually wiped out in one fell swoop?

The leader, Bo Gu, and the already exposed Li Zhusheng were both arrested? Wow!

Whose general is this, so brave?

Oh, it's mine, then no...wait!

I don't have anyone as capable as this under my command. Even if I did, it would only be me! How could you do this without even reporting to me?!

Anyway, is this true? Is this a conspiracy by Dai?

However, that stronghold was indeed destroyed by high-energy explosives, and many people died. Fortunately, it was only the Wenyan Group's stronghold, otherwise even he would be heartbroken.

Unconvinced that the Communist Party's top leadership could be wiped out in one fell swoop, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek remained calm and asked, "Kejun, tell me what's going on?"

"Committee, I..."

Xu Enzeng was just about to practice some Tai Chi and investigate the matter thoroughly before responding when a guard suddenly scurried in with a stack of intelligence reports: "Chairman! Urgent news from Shanghai! Five members of the Communist Party's pseudo-central government have been arrested, declared their surrender to our Party, and published confessions in the newspapers!"

"What! !"

Chiang Kai-shek suddenly lost his composure, rushed out and grabbed the stack of papers, quickly scanned them for a few minutes, and then burst into laughter as he handed the information to Dai and Xu: "Look! Look! There are still many people who know what's going on among the Communist bandits!!"

The two of them took a closer look and quickly confirmed the authenticity of the information.

Because these five individuals detailed their names, where they had lived, what names they had used, and what positions they had held. Gu Shunzhang had already revealed the real names of Li Zhusheng and Lu Futan, so they were definitely not false. Undoubtedly, these five individuals were high-ranking members of the Communist Party's (pseudo) Central Committee, or members of their so-called "Politburo"!

Not only that, these five people also attacked the Communist Party and praised the Kuomintang. Some of them used such vicious and flattering words that even the two secret service chiefs Dai and Xu were secretly shocked. Are these people really communists?

Or the top brass of the Communist Party?

Isn't he an outstanding cadre lurking in our party? Even I can't say such disgusting words!

After feeling proud enough, Jiang Guangtou suddenly remembered something very important: these five people surrendered, but where are they?

"Kejun! Well done! Bring all of them to Xuzhou immediately! I want to interrogate them personally!"

"Uh..."

Although he still didn't know the details and was still wondering if it was done by someone from their Party Affairs Investigation Section, Director Xu quickly realized one thing: Chairman Chiang had confirmed that this was our achievement.

Then it must be us who did it!!

Look!

The old man himself approved it! What a great opportunity to grab the credit! So...

The good news was that the old man believed that these five people were arrested by his people; the bad news was that his Party Affairs Investigation Department really couldn't hand them over. So there was only one way.

Director Xu glanced at Director Dai and said in a mournful tone:

"Your Excellency, this matter is indeed the result of our Investigation Department's meticulous follow-up investigation. I originally planned to catch the person and give you a surprise, but..." "But what?"

"Commissioner, these five people may have been killed in the explosion, because... our investigation department's base in Shanghai... Director Dai just reported it..." Wuhu!

Dai Li, oh Dai Li, you never expected that?! You were trying to trick me, but now you're done for!

The smile on Chairman Chiang's face gradually faded.

Xu Enzeng's words reminded him of the matter the three of them had originally discussed: Dai Li's "Fuxing Society" members were all killed in a bombing at the Party Affairs Investigation Section's base!

Originally, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was still watching Dai Li's complaint against Xu Enzeng as a kind of spectator show.

Anyway, as long as the internal fighting among his subordinates did not affect the overall situation, he was happy to see it happen. But at this moment, he unconsciously developed a bad feeling towards Dai Li:

Given that there is evidence proving that these five high-ranking Communist Party members were indeed captured by the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau, the explosion was most likely the result of the Renaissance Society trying to steal the credit! Because they were trying to steal the credit, they alerted the remaining Communist Party organizations in Shanghai, and then, in order to silence them, they simply killed them all!

Although it was a little different from the Communist bandits' previous style, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek judged others by his own experience and felt that if it were him, he would also choose to kill and silence them! After all, they were all high-ranking Communist bandits who knew too many secrets! How could he not kill them!

Gu Shunzhang was even publicly wanted by the Communist Party!

Under Jiang Guangtou's own imagination, Director Xu's unfinished words achieved a very good effect. Seeing the change in his master's expression, Dai Li immediately became anxious and argued:

"Chairman, you're right! This must be because the Communists themselves discovered that the five people had been arrested, and that's why they detonated the bomb! Otherwise, why would that telegram be sent from the Investigation Division's base?"

yes!

No matter what, the plaintext telegram was sent by the radio station of the Party Affairs Investigation Section. Even Xu Enzeng did not deny this! Chairman Jiang looked at Director Xu again, and the other party smiled faintly:

"Chairman, I will send someone to Shanghai to investigate what happened to those five people." He only said half of the words, and left the rest for the old man to figure out.

The implication is that even if there really was a traitor among my men, the fact that we captured five high-ranking CCP officials, and they were top leaders, must be true, right? But what about his Dai Li?

The "Fuxing Society" was not caught, and there is also a serious suspicion that it caused the death or escape of high-ranking Communist bandits. In this case, Chairman, please take a look, who has the greater merit and who has the greater responsibility?

Dai Li was suddenly speechless.

No matter how powerful Director Dai will be in the future, his palace fighting skills are still a bit immature at this time, not as proficient as Director Xu. He was beaten hard when he got the chance.

Obviously, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied with his favorite general after hearing this. He only held back because he thought about his favorite general's loyal protection during his retirement. However, he expressed his displeasure in another way:

Alright! Kejun, send someone to investigate immediately. I want to see the person alive or dead! What support do you want? I will give you any support! When I come back, I will personally commend you for your achievements!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman! I will do my best and will not let you down!"

Dai Li's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

063 There was also a huge quarrel within the Communist Party

"My name is Lu Futan, also known as... I served as... in 1927 and in 1930...
