Chapter 183
Dog-Headed Military Advisor
With a slightly feminine cold shout, a person stepped in. It was Zhang Yaozu, the former pedicurist in the Shanghai Concession and now the leader of the second intelligence team. He had just secretly sneaked back from Tianjin to report on the progress.
At this time, Zhang Yaozu has completely lost the dull and naive attitude he had during last year's trials. Although he still can't change his naturally ugly appearance, there is a lot more shrewdness and cunning in his eyes. All kinds of training and actual combat over the past year have made him completely get rid of it.
After years of living at the bottom, he accumulated cowardice and confusion, but instead used his ancestral abilities to the fullest. He stood out from his brother Zhang Guangzong and made many achievements.
He saluted Zhu Bin with a silly smile on his face, turned around and immediately changed his face, shook a thin piece of paper in his hand, and Zhang Yaozu snorted coldly: "The dignitary of the Consultative Department of the Five-Provincial Allied Forces General Headquarters"
When did the counselor, Cao Han and Cao Ziyang, the senior advisor of Commander Sun Chuanfang's advisory group, become so secretive and pretend to be a Taoist priest to deceive our Commander Zhu?"
The old story was exposed all of a sudden. Taoist Cao was slightly shaken, with a strange look in his eyes. He clapped his hands and praised: "As expected, he is indeed the benefactor chosen by Cao. A strong general has no weak soldiers. He actually found out in a moment."
My identity, good! Good! Cao really didn’t make a mistake!”
"Huh?! He's quite calm!" Zhang Yaozu disliked these dog-headed counselors who came from warlords, and said grimly, "Mr. Cao, you don't have to pretend when you get this job. After all, what on earth are you doing?
Knowing that Commander Zhu is going to cross the river from Jinshanwei and block the way, what do you want to do? Say it happily, it will save us from using violence. After all, you have been in glory, don't you want to end up with nothing?"
Cao Han didn't appreciate his threats at all. He rubbed his neck and said leisurely: "Young people, don't be so sharp. You know, if you are so rough with me now, when I become your superior officer, you have to treat me well."
If you are concocted and concocted, it will be too late to regret by then. Don’t say that you were unforeseen!”
"Be our superior? Just you?" Zhang Yaozu sneered with a puff of air in his nostrils, but he quickly thought of something and his expression slowly changed.
The more Zhu Bin read, the more interesting the Taoist priest became. Looking at the information written on the paper Zhang Yaozu brought, he guessed what this guy was planning.
Cao Han, whose courtesy name is Ziyang, is 33 years old. He is from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He comes from a scholarly family. He once studied in Japan, but soon left for unknown reasons. After traveling around the world for two years, he returned to China and soon joined Sun Chuanfang's Five Provinces Allied Forces General.
General Counsel of the Headquarters
Because of his outstanding knowledge and strategy, and for unknown reasons, he actually joined the advisory group composed of Okamura Neiji as a consultant, Zhang Jian, Zhang Binglin, Jiang Fangzhen, Zhao Hengti, Ding Wenjiang, Fu Xiaoan and others, and enjoyed up to 500 yuan per day.
monthly high salary.
In 1927, the Northern Expedition was successful, Sun Chuanfang was defeated, and the advisory group dispersed. Cao Han did not follow the defeat and retreated outside the customs, so he stayed in the south and never became an official again, preferring to live in seclusion on Tanhu Island. In 1931, Yang Du died of illness in the Shanghai Concession.
He once came to pay homage.
Since settling in Zhoushan, Zhu Bin has ordered the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Internal Security to sift through the situation in the entire area. It is difficult not to pay attention to a strange guy like Cao Han hiding on a small island. Naturally, he must
Check. Zhang Yaozu is a local gangster in Shanghai, and with the support of the Qing Gang, the Ax Gang and other forces, it is not too difficult to check a person's details. What's more, Cao Han was also a famous figure at the time, and he left very few clues.
many.
At that time, we didn't take it seriously, but now that this person has appeared, and the implication is so big, naturally we can't let it go.
Hearing what he said, Zhu Bin found it very funny. In the past two years, he had read a lot of classical books and learned more about Chinese culture. The "Jiang Taigong Fishing" played by Cao Han today clearly declared his intention, but what about "Benefactor"?
Yes, it is similar to the protagonist of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is interesting that there are still people who behave like this these days!
Putting on his airs, Cao Han said: "Actually, it is not as difficult as imagined to determine the whereabouts of Boss Zhu. In view of the fact that the Japanese today hate Mr. Zhu deeply and must get rid of him quickly, people from all walks of life in the country also have their own ideas.
With bad intentions, there are also undercurrents surging in the world. For safety reasons, Mr. Zhu will not easily expose himself and put himself in danger. Therefore, if you want to travel between Shanghai and Zhoushan, there are only two ways to fly or ferry."
"Planes are too conspicuous and require space for takeoff and landing. They are easily intercepted by the Japanese. It is inconvenient to go out of the Huangpu River and into the sea by boat and are easily attacked by Japanese warships. It is most convenient to go south through Hangzhou Bay. Furthermore, Mr.'s army
The ships used are by no means the same as those of other countries in the world today, and they are easy to identify. Cao only needs to ask people to pay more attention to the shore, observe them personally for many days, and stop them in advance, so what's the difficulty?"
Nothing in the world is difficult except for those who are willing! This sentence is fully reflected in Cao Han. As long as he observes carefully, Zhu Bin thinks that his actions are secretive, but he succeeds in "waiting for the rabbit".
"Never underestimate the world's heroes!" Zhu Bin felt deeply in his heart and nodded towards Zhang Yaozu.
Zhang Yaozu reluctantly gave Cao Han a fist and said with a sullen face: "I have learned a lesson! I will seriously review it with the intelligence department!"
Cao Han waved his hand gently, as if he had done something trivial. However, this performance also made Lin Banxian and others look at him with admiration. With his great reputation, he is a true scholar, and someone who can attract the attention of Zhu Bin's subordinates is indeed extraordinary!
Hu Sheng rubbed the razor in dissatisfaction and asked angrily: "Then you pretend to be Jiang Taigong fishing? What if you stop the wrong one? What if you are knocked over by our speedboat? Why don't you just come to the door openly? You can't even shout.
OK!"
Cao Han smiled leisurely: "If Mr. Zhu's subordinates were rampaging like those incompetent guys, Cao would naturally not show up here. If you make a mistake once, you can do it again. If I had just stood on the bow of the boat and yelled at Zhu
Sir, I'm afraid your machine guns have already hit the bay to feed the fish!"
Hu Sheng groaned: "You know what I mean!"
Lin Banxian's eyes flickered and he said sinisterly: "Captain Zhu, don't listen to his nonsense. It sounds like it's true. In fact, he just recognizes our ship! No matter whether you are on it or not, he will stop him today.
.As long as I say that I want to see you, the guards will naturally pay attention to you, and then we can have a chance to meet you. Hehe, what a clever mouth!"
When Zhu Bin thought about it, it was true! Since this guy had made up his mind to come to see him, or even defect to him, he would not be able to get to the Zhoushan base if he was serious, so he would pretend to be a ghost to attract attention, which is a good way! But it also proved that this fake Taoist priest
It’s not a vain reputation, there is a way!
Rubbing his chin, leaning forward with one hand on his knees, Zhu Bin assumed the posture of a copycat boss, stared at Cao Han and said: "Thanks to Mr. Cao's love, since I can enjoy the honor under Marshal Sun, I must have real talent and learning.
But, how do you know that I will definitely accept it?"
You came to the door out of nowhere, who knows what your plans are! Zhu Bin is not a grassroots team leader. For important personnel, it is better to have a shortage than to waste.
Cao Han put his hands behind his back, raised his skinny chest, and said proudly: "I know all the military and political circles in the country very well, and I am very familiar with all kinds of evil tricks. Mr. Zhu has many talents under his command, including all of you who are ordinary people in this world, but there is no one."
An understanding person who can help you see clearly the current affairs of the world and judge political strife and power struggles."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room looked at each other, and many of them had strange expressions on their faces. This statement hit Zhu Bin's most troublesome shortcoming!
For a long time, when it came to marching and fighting, getting rich, constructing and acquiring equipment, Zhu Bin was a good player, and a group of young talents such as Yu Baoguo also had their own strengths. Together, they cooperated seamlessly, so they developed very quickly.
However, in the face of the complicated and changing domestic and international situations, it is extremely difficult to make judgments. Even with Chen Shaokuan, a veteran commander, it is of no use. Without him, Chen is not good at political struggles. He is not good at fighting with the government.
Compared with those old fried dough sticks, they are much worse!
The gap between professional soldiers and professional politicians is as wide as the Pacific Ocean. It takes a long time to grow up, but Zhu Bin lacks this thing the most. But if he wants to find an understanding person to give him advice, he has to take a look in the advisory group.
There are not any of them. There were many heroes who lived in Shanghai in the past, but most of them were short-sighted people who only focused on a few regional interests. If the general of the defeated army rashly invites them, I am afraid it will cause more trouble than contribution!
So every time there was some movement in the government, Zhu Bin had to work hard to figure it out. Before his strength could directly crush him, he had to work hard. But now, Cao Han has made it clear, so his purpose is also
It’s very clear that I have to make up for this shortcoming myself!
"You want to be our dog-headed military and political advisor! It's not impossible, but you have to come up with some real materials to prove your ability." Lin Banxian and Zhu Bin looked at each other, took two steps forward and looked down at each other.
Cao Han.
Cao Han looked at him calmly and calmly, raised his hand and said: "Please ask a question. If Cao's answer does not satisfy you, just throw me into the sea!"
"Haha, you are so confident!" Lin Banxian's eyes widened and he said loudly, "Then let me ask you, recently the Ministry of Military Affairs ordered Commander Zhu to expand the Special Forces Group 1, and also ordered us to build a second naval base at Guzhenkou.
Everyone knows about the conflict between Commander Zhu and Minister He Yingqin, but why do you want to do such a good thing for him?"
Cao Han, with his long and thin neck like a rooster, proudly said: "This is extremely simple! This order was not given by Minister He Yingqin alone! The expansion of the army must have been ordered by Chairman Chiang; the construction of the base north was the hand of Minister He
tail."
Is it so complicated? Zhu Bin straightened his body and said solemnly: "I would like to hear the details!"
He raised his hand and asked Husheng to bring a chair over for him to sit down, and then poured him fragrant hot tea. This was the style of Corporal Li Xian. Cao Han nodded with satisfaction, thanked calmly, took a sip of tea, savored it for a moment, and continued
Said: "For more than a year, Commander Zhu has made countless meritorious deeds, and his contribution to the country can be described as Zhen Gushuo."
Nowadays, he is shining in the annals of history. No amount of awards and praises are exaggerated, and everyone knows it. However, at the same time, he has also offended many high-ranking officials and ministers who want to reap benefits, such as Wang Zhaoming of the Executive Yuan, Chen Gongbo of the Ministry of Industry, and He Yingqin of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
, the Chen brothers of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, it can be said that except for the Song family and the Kong family, they are the enemies of everyone in the world!"
Zhu Bin counted them with his fingers and was shocked: "Have I offended so many people? I don't think so!"
Everyone rolled their eyes. Did you, old man, not take it seriously at all? You don't care, but others do! He chased people away so rudely and arrogantly, just like chasing away flies. Who wouldn't be jealous!
Cao Han chuckled and said: "Captain Zhu has the world in mind, so he doesn't care about these people's tricks. But when you are in the game, you have to deal with them. Just the fact that you have the most wealth in the world is enough for them to deal with you."
You are here. During the Great Wall War against Japan, Commander Zhu and the Special Forces Group 1 fought hard against the Japanese invaders. They made great achievements and must be rewarded. However, they openly refused to give He Yingqin face. With their style, they must retaliate."
"However, this matter has both good and bad consequences. From then on, Commander Zhu and the Special Forces Team became independent and helpless in the political circles. Only then could Chairman Chiang let it go with confidence, so the expansion of the army came into being. He Yingqin was bound to oppose it.
, but absolutely cannot
After passing the Chairman, I will add an additional order, asking you to go to Shandong to open a second base. Shandong is the territory of Han Fuju and Shen Honglie. Building a naval base under their noses is equivalent to laying nails in an open and honest manner. How can they react? "
Zhu Bin suddenly realized: "How else to react! The entrance to the ancient town is not a hundred miles away from Qingdao, and Shen Honglie's third fleet is there. We passed by, and everyone thought it was the Chairman's method. Shen could still negotiate, and Han Fuju
I will definitely fall out!"
Because of the last crackdown on smuggling, Zhu Bin specially asked people to investigate the details of these two big guys and get to know their tendencies and personalities. Shen Honglie is a serious soldier, responsible, moral, practical, and resolute in resisting Japan.
He also had some respect for Chiang Kai-shek. Han Fuju was not the same. This guy's attitude was wavering. It was this guy who sent the Japanese to attack. He also refused to listen to the government's orders and wanted to be the overlord of Shandong.
In the past, Global Defense asked for a small base. In exchange of interests, they accepted it because there were a large group of powers that could not afford to offend. But this time it was a representative task force, wearing Chiang Kai-shek's hat, and it was bound to start.
What a dispute! When the time comes for him, a stupid young man, to fight with two old fritters, both sides will surely suffer losses!
He Yingqin can vent his anger, hehe, what a plan!
Cao Han concluded: "With Commander Zhu's temperament, means, wealth, and strength, we can at least fight an evenly matched opponent this time. The Japanese are deeply rooted in Shandong and have a wide range of influence. They can just deal with you nearby. This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."
.”
Zhu Bin scratched his scalp, feeling a little troubled: "Then, since Chiang Kai-shek wants to win over me, why don't you care? Let He Yingqin do this?"
Cao Han said with a smile: "Old Jiang has a cold nature. He only has himself and his power in his heart. How can he care about the life and death of others? If you defeat Han and Shen, the government will easily take Shandong; if you lose, Han,
Shen Ye will definitely have to pay a heavy price. When the government comes forward to control it in the name of mediation, it will be easy. How can Mr. Chairman refuse such a good thing?"
"Fuck him! No one in politics is good!" Husheng couldn't see such underhanded tactics and cursed loudly.
Zhu Bin didn't get angry. He bared his teeth and sneered: "Okay! I've spent all my energy on this, which is good. But is it so easy to plot against me? I'll make all of you work in vain!"
Cao Han said: "It is because I saw their faces clearly that I could not come out. It is also because I have a detailed understanding of Commander Zhu that we have today's meeting. So, am I satisfied with my answer?"
Zhu Bin clapped and laughed: "I am very satisfied! With Mr. Cao joining us, our task force will definitely be even more powerful!"
This was tantamount to agreeing to accept Cao Han. Wang Ziping and Chen Yining both clapped their hands in congratulations, but Lin Jiangshan suddenly changed his expression and shouted sternly: "Cao Han, what is your relationship with Yang Du?"
Cao Han was shaken, hesitated for a moment, and said calmly: "I am half a disciple of Yang Hugong."
Lin Jiangshan turned around suddenly and said to Zhu Bin: "This person can be killed but not kept!"
Chapter completed!
