Chapter 1318 Single Choice
Not long after Zuo Chong returned to the office, he received a call. The caller was also a member of the Central Executive Committee, surnamed Ji, and was the backstage of the Xiaokai. He was the minister of a Qingshui Office in the National Government. He had some qualifications, but he had long been marginalized.
This person had had several dealings with Zuo Zhong, but the two were not familiar with each other. At most, they were nodding. After all, their positions were very different in power.
While recalling Minister Ji's background, Zuo Chong guessed the intention of the other party's call, whether to inquire or to plead for mercy. In the end, he decided to respond to changes in the same way and waited for Minister Ji to speak first.
In addition, Wu Jingzhong has not come back to reply to the order until now, probably because of the obstruction of his surname Ji.
Just as he was thinking, a feminine laughter rang out of the microphone, and Zuo Chong frowned. This kind of old official frivolous guy is the most difficult to deal with.
"Hehe, is it Deputy Director Zuo? I am Lao Ji."
"Hello, Minister Ji, does this call require the cooperation of the Military Commission?"
(Speak quickly if you have something to say, and release quickly if you have P)
"It's not a public service. Deputy Director Zuo's reputation is also well-known here. Ji wants to invite you to have a Taiwanese meal tomorrow. I wonder if I can give you a look?"
(You have crossed the line, can you give face to expose this matter?)
"I'm really sorry, I just came back from the commission. I have some important business tomorrow. I can only drink and have fun with you next time."
(You are nothing, and you dare to ask me for face. You can't get over this matter, but I'm not targeting you)
Hearing Zuo Chong's words, Minister Ji was silent for a while, as if he was weighing whether it was worth offending Zuo Chong for a white glove. After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"Since that's the case, that's all. I heard that the Military Control Commission has insufficient funds recently. Do you need brothers to support one or two?"
(Do your Military Commission want people or money)
"Thank you for your concern, but there is no need for funding. Our Military Commission is a special agency and has its own economic discipline."
(Just give it to me, you can take the money)
As soon as this statement was made, Minister Ji's attitude eased up suddenly. He laughed and said goodbye to Zuo Chong, completely giving up the rescue of Xiaokai.
Zuo Chong hung up the phone and sneered, can he do whatever he wants if he has money? Maybe it can be done elsewhere, but it won't work for him.
A mere businessman and powerful mechanism are really ignorant of life and death. To be a dog, you must have the awareness of being a dog, otherwise it will be ugly to die.
Time flies, and it is New Year's Day in 1942 in a blink of an eye.
The mountain city is immersed in the joy of the New Year. No one has noticed that there is a family missing in the city. Even if it is discovered, it doesn’t matter. It is normal for anything to happen in such chaos.
On New Year's Day, representatives from 26 countries including the Republic of China, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Red and Russian countries signed the "Declaration of United Nations" in Washington, which marked the official formation of the International Anti-Germany, Japan-Italy Alliance.
A few days later, after intense preparations, the Sino-US Special Technical Cooperation Institute was listed in a hidden location in the mountain city of Gele Mountain.
Dai Chunfeng also serves as the director of the cooperation office, and Zuo Chong serves as the deputy director of the Chinese side. The deputy director of the US side is tentatively designated as Melos, senior intelligence officer of ONI.
Yes, it was to tell King Jinju: The reason why Americans win battles is because they have a family in their hearts, but the other party has not yet taken office.
According to the preliminary plan, the Sino-US cooperation institute will be divided into six groups: blasting, reconnaissance, technology, intelligence, communications, and general affairs.
The first thing to start operating was the meteorological team in the technical team. The US side transported a large number of equipment and technical personnel to help the National Government establish meteorological stations in mountain cities and several cities.
These meteorological stations will work with the Air Force and the Meteorological Research Institute of the China Research Institute to form a modern meteorological observation network to provide support for the military operations of the Fruit Army and the US Army.
In order to prevent Japanese spies from sabotage, the Guo army has arranged a large number of guards around all weather stations, prohibiting unrelated personnel from entering and leaving.
But I was afraid of anything I was afraid of. Less than three days after the first meteorological station located outside the mountain city was put into use. On the eve of Melez's arrival in the mountain city, a group of well-equipped masked men touched the outside of the meteorological station.
Several patrol guards were walking on the path under the night sky. One of them suddenly turned to look at the side of the road. It seemed that something was moving in the dark bushes, and there was a constant rustling sound.
The guards looked nervous, raised their guns and aimed at the direction of the sound, and put their fingers on the trigger to shoot.
"Woom wool wool ~"
A wild dog jumped out of the bushes and screamed twice, then clamped its tail and ran towards the distance.
Several guards secretly called out bad luck, cursed and closed their insurance and closed their guns, but they did not expect that more than a dozen black shadows appeared quietly beside them. These black shadows covered the guards' mouths with one hand and stabbed the dagger with the cold light at the target with the other.
Half an hour later.
Accompanied by a burst of gunfire, the weather station built with a lot of money and manpower and material resources exploded violently. The orange-red firelight reflected the sky red, and the noise was so loud that it could be clearly seen more than ten miles away.
In the fifth minute of the explosion, the first group of rescue forces arrived. Nearby engineers carried out several machines from the scene in a raging fire, and no survivors were found during this period.
In the weather station, more than 30 staff members, including US engineers, died, including five military commanders responsible for internal security.
The firefighting team that arrived later put out the fire and did not forget to protect the scene. After several years of bombing, the professional level of the Shancheng Firefighting Team was the best in the Kuomintang-controlled area, which has to be said to be a black humor.
Since the case involved Americans, the matter was quickly reported to the Huangshan official residence. When someone learned about it, he was furious and immediately convened a meeting of relevant personnel.
After the attendant informed the case, the minister surnamed Ji muttered sarcastically: "It is said that the Military Control Commission is an elite of the National Government, and I think it is just a waste of food."
Just now, the conference room was quiet, and everyone heard this. Looking at Minister Ji who was pretending to be calm, everyone present gave the other party a thumbs up in their hearts.
They saw awesome people today. Even Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Chong dared to scold him. Minister Ji is really a hero. Who doesn’t know Dai? Zuo’s master and apprentice, one turned against each other and the other smiled and saw a knife in his smile. Now it’s fun to see.
I found that there was a good show to watch. Someone lit a cigarette and some served tea. Zuo Chong's old friend Bai Wenzhi and Deputy Minister Yang even took out the melon seeds.
In the crowd, Xu Enzeng pinched his nose and shouted, "No matter who it is, as long as he scolds the Military Control Commission and Zuo Chong, he must help the situation."
The shouting made Zhu Yuxian, the director of the Central Administration Bureau, look unhappy. Zuo Chong is also his student, and Xu Enzeng and Ji's surname are too dissatisfied with him.
As the person involved, Dai Chunfeng still looked like an old god, but Zuo Chong was furious by the words of the minister Ji. He slapped the table in front of him and pointed at the other party and cursed.
"I'm the last name of Ji, I'll give you face and call you Minister Ji, Executive Committee Member Ji, if you don't give face, you'll be bastard, what can you do to Zuo?
He is, you are an old person who sells opium and becomes a minister and alternate executive committee member by relying on his seniority. Where did you get the face of us here?
You might as well make it clearer. Isn’t it just that I killed a young master’s family and affected your wealth? If you have the ability, let’s go out and practice.”
It was not enough to just say that, Zuo Chong simply rolled up his sleeves and showed that he was going to fight against Minister Ji in his sixties. Old Dai was so shocked that he sprayed out the tea in his mouth.
boom!
The venue was in an uproar. Although everyone knows some things, is it inappropriate for you to make it clear?
Someone on the stage looked gloomy and slapped the table hard. The teacup on the table jumped up, and the falling lid and the cup wall collided with a sound.
"domineering!"
"presumptuous!"
Someone's angry voice echoed in the conference room. When he saw that his boss was really angry, all the participants sat upright and looked straight.
Zuo Chong quickly bowed half a bow to his fellow villager and said in fear: "Leader, the ancestors of the family taught me that we should be loyal and righteous to our superiors and benevolence to our subordinates. We must be responsible for unfair things, and we must be responsible for them to the end."
Then, he told the conflict between Xiao Kai and the spy, with his position impartial and simply stating the facts without adding fuel to the fire.
After learning about the incident, someone looked at Minister Ji deeply, gave him a comment that he was ignorant of moving forward and backward. He coughed twice and scolded Zuo Chong with a tense face.
"Anyway, Minister Ji is your senior, so you still have to talk about the superiors and inferiors. Let's do this. Be careful to end your trip to the United States and make a difference to this matter. Do you have any complaints?"
Zuo Chong suddenly closed his abdomen and replied loudly: "I just started to be cautious and I am willing to accept all the punishments of the leader, and I will never complain!"
"Okay, let's not take the example, sit down, don't be impulsive in the future." Someone pressed his hands and replied in his local accent.
The loyalty of the young fellow villager is commendable. It is harmless to make mistakes occasionally. If you never make mistakes, it will be worrying. Someone thinks he has seen through everything.
Minister Ji saw the two people singing and reconciling, and his nose was almost pissed, but he clearly wanted to favor his fellow villagers and confidants. No matter how much you say, it would be useless.
After sitting down, Zuo Chong stared at Minister Ji provocatively, but he was very calm inside. The swearing was to seek justice for the spies who died at the explosion site, and to dispel the fear of someone and Lao Dai, and he deliberately made a small mistake.
The superiors have no handle to you, and they will sooner or later look at your head. This is the only rule for public survival.
Someone's cold eyes swept across the crowd at the venue and directly pointed Dai Chunfeng's name. Old Dai stood up like a spring. Before he could stand firm, he blurted out his beautiful words: "Listen to the instructions of the commissioner."
Zuo Zhong, who was beside him, looked full of admiration. The teacher was the teacher. Judging from the speed and reaction, he didn't look like a person who was nearly fifty years old.
Someone was amused by Lao Dai's behavior and shook his head and issued an order, asking the Military Control Commission to solve the sabotage case of the weather station before Melez arrived in the mountain city.
The lives of the people in the government are not worthwhile, but the lives of the Americans are worth. If the murderer cannot be found as soon as possible, the cooperation between the Republic of China and the United States may cause setbacks.
After the meeting, Dai Chunfeng became the boss again and handed over the investigation of the case to Zuo Chong. Who made Zuo Chong the best intelligence expert in the Military Control Commission? How could those who can do it?
Zuo Chong called Wu Chunyang, Gui Youguang rushed to the meteorological station and met with Gu Qi, who came to investigate the site in advance and had an autopsy.
As soon as the two sides met, Guqi stepped forward to report the preliminary investigation results: "Deputy throne, three of the five brothers who died of cold weapons, and the remaining two were shot and killed.
The former was pierced by the artery without any warning and died of excessive blood loss, while the latter had a short-term exchange of fire with the enemy.
Thanks to the two brothers behind him who tried to stop the enemy, the other party could not penetrate into the deepest part of the weather station and could only force the explosion, otherwise all the equipment would be burned clean."
While speaking, everyone walked to a row of corpses covered with white cloth. The arms of one of the corpses were exposed, and the right hand, which was burnt to death, was still firmly grasping a pistol.
Zuo Chong bent down to cover it, and his face was covered with frost when he turned around: "Take all over the scene, check the residents within a radius of ten kilometers, look for witnesses, dig out these mice for me, and the blood debt can only be paid with blood!"
"yes!"
Guqi and his men left with murderous intent, and soon hundreds of small spies followed the order to investigate the surroundings of the weather station.
