Release all political (harmony) prisoners in government prisons within half a month and provide basic life safety guarantees before release.

Jinling allocated certain weapons and ammunition, medicines, military salaries, and communication radio stations to the northwest front.

These are the two conditions proposed by Ban Jun on behalf of the underground party and Zuo Zhong, stating that if the conditions are not met, the underground party will never cooperate with the Guo Party.

Zuo Zhong was not too surprised after hearing this. This is what someone promised to the underground party and the young marshal when they held a pajama party on Lishan Mountain. However, as soon as he escaped from danger and returned to Jinling, he broke his promise again.

This time the underground party took the opportunity to bring up old matters again, which must be said to be a clever move. With the foundation laid by the Chang'an incident and the threat of counterfeit banknotes, it is very likely that the government will agree to these two things.

However, what should be said had to be said. Zuo Zhong frowned and pretended to be angry: "I just said it wrong. Your underground party is not taking advantage of the fire, but taking advantage of others' danger. Isn't your party going too far by threatening the government in this way?

Again, these are not decisions that I, a small colonel, can make. I will go back and convey your conditions to the top. I will meet you at the same time and place the day after tomorrow and give you a reply.

Laoban, as an old friend, I want to remind you that supplies are easy to come by. Allowing members of your party and democratic parties to visit dissidents in prisons and introspection chambers is probably the biggest concession made by the government."

"These two items are non-negotiable."

Ban Jun waved his hands and said categorically: "It's not that we took advantage of others' danger, it's that your leader broke his word. If the head of a country doesn't keep his word, why don't we be allowed to think of our own solutions?

It is useless to talk more. I will wait for your answer tomorrow. I hope Jinling can carefully consider our reasonable requests. In the current national crisis, cooperation to resist Japan is the general trend. Going against the trend will not end well."

Speaking of this, he stopped and stared at the Waibaidu Bridge, raised his chin: "Did you see it? This is the fate of being a slave to the subjugation of the country. If the Japanese cannot be driven away, you and I will be stabbed in the bones by future generations!"

Zuo Zhong followed his gaze and saw Chinese people passing by the Japanese checkpoint in the middle of the bridge and bowing to the Japanese soldiers one after another. Even the so-called "upper-class people" who were riding in cars were no exception.

Not only Waibaidu Bridge, but also since the Japanese occupied Shanghai, sentry posts have been set up at all important traffic intersections. All Chinese who pass by the sentry posts must stand at attention and bow, otherwise they will be shot or arrested and tortured.

After a moment of silence, he looked at the rolling river and answered: "I will try my best to persuade Shangfeng, don't get me wrong, I am not interested in your doctrines and beliefs.

But as a Chinese, I don’t want future generations to live in such humiliation. Our ancestors’ thousands-year-old family legacy cannot be left in the hands of our generation.”

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

After saying that, Ban Jun shook hands again, looked around and left quickly, disappearing into the crowded crowd in a short while.

Zuo Zhong stood on the riverside in a daze for a while, then waved a fishing boat to stop, gave the boatman a big ticket, and asked the boatman to row along the Sucheng River for a distance to the city, and then found a spot on the shore of the public concession.

Place to go ashore.

It is essential to be on guard against others. Ban Jun is worried about him following him, so he is not worried about the underground party following him. The two old friends are on guard against each other, which is exactly the same as the current relationship between the underground party and the fruit party.

After wandering around the streets for a long time, Zuo Zhong returned to the villa where he was hiding his identity, took out his mobile phone and sent a telegram to the bureau headquarters, truthfully reporting the Japanese army's attempt to forge legal currency and the conditions of the underground party.

At the end of the telegram, he told Dai Chunfeng that the Secret Service could clear out underground party strongholds at any time if necessary, and that he would never worry about his personal friendship with Ban Jun.

No matter where he is, there is no room for bargaining on position issues. His attitude must be firm, and his actions and words must be in line with the tough style he has shown in the past.

After sending the telegram, he put his cell phone on the coffee table and waited silently for a reply.

When Lao Dai received the telegram, he would definitely ask for instructions. The current war situation was urgent, and the Japanese were about to capture the national defense line. He didn't know how long it would take to wait for someone to issue an order.

The situation was similar to what he thought. It was not until evening that the anxious Dai Chunfeng saw someone in the Qilu reception room, and immediately whispered the relevant information to the other person.

"Niang Xipi, you are despicable! Shameless!"

As soon as they heard that the Japanese were going to counterfeit French currency, and the underground party took the opportunity to demand release and distribution of supplies, someone immediately poked the carpet with a civilized stick and started spitting out sweet scents. He didn't know who he was scolding.

Thinking of the consequences of the proliferation of counterfeit banknotes, his face became even more ugly. Since the currency reform in the 24th year of the Republic of China, the government once achieved a trade surplus, which shows that the issuance of legal currency was successful.

Because of its success, only about 1.4 billion yuan of legal currency has been issued, and the value of the currency is quite stable. Even if a war breaks out, it has not depreciated much. One hundred legal currency can be enough to buy a farm cow in some places.

If the Japanese put a large amount of counterfeit banknotes into the market, it would be a disaster for the national government, which is already in a fragile financial situation. Without sufficient military spending, there would be no need to fight this war.

Thinking of this, someone suppressed his anger and asked: "Zuo Zhong was classmates with that rebel named Ban Jun. What did he say? Did he suggest that the government agree to the underground party's request?"

Dai Chunfeng was shocked. He understood that the leader suspected that Shen Zhong had colluded with the underground party. If something happened to Shen Zhong, he, the teacher, would be the one to blame, so he quickly shook his head.

"To report to the principal, Zuo Zhong just made a report and did not mention anything else. He also said that if you need it, he will lead people to kill all the underground parties in Shanghai and will never show mercy.

When the Ban army kidnapped prisoners in Jiujiawei, the students were present at the scene. Shen Zhong first tried to persuade the prisoners to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. After being rejected by the traitors, he cut off his robes and severed ties with them, ordering someone to catch him.

If I hadn't stepped on the underground party's landmine, Shen Zhi would have killed this person long ago. There are many people at the scene who can prove that, principal, Shen Zhi is loyal to you and the party and the country, I can guarantee this."

"Yeah~"

Someone nodded with satisfaction, and then his face darkened: "At this time of national crisis, some people not only don't want to deal with the Japanese, but instead try to blackmail the government, which is really hateful.

Chunfeng, you will go to the underground party office later and ask them what they want to do, and try to delay the release of personnel and the delivery of materials as late as possible. Do you understand?

In addition, inform Shen Zhong to investigate the information about the underground party in Shanghai clearly and wait for my order to be ready to arrest people at any time. The government will not compromise with anyone, especially the rebel bandits."

Arrest people and threaten the underground party?

Dai Chunfeng opened his mouth, intending to persuade someone, but in the end he said nothing. Since the leader didn't care about counterfeit money, why bother himself.

He immediately resigned and left Qilu, and rushed by car to the underground party office at No. 66 Fuhougang. After the Chang'an Incident, underground party personnel worked and rested here.

More than an hour later, Dai Chunfeng returned to the Secret Service angrily. At the same time, a telegram was sent from Jinling to Shanghai.

In the dark living room, Zuo Zhong was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. Suddenly, there was a buzzing vibration. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the bright screen, then reached for his phone.

A few minutes later, after using the code book to decode the encrypted message, Zuo Zhong sneered as he looked at the above orders. He pondered for a moment, put on his coat, opened the door, left the residence, and rushed to the Yunke Lai Hotel.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

He called He Yijun to a quiet place and issued action instructions according to the telegram: "Yijun, orders are coming from Jinling, except Song Minghao and Wu Jingzhong who are investigating the whereabouts of counterfeit banknote technical experts.

All operating personnel in Shanghai must use various channels to understand the situation of underground party members and strongholds, and tell the brothers to pay close attention and not to alert others for the time being. The investigation process must be kept as secret as possible.

Then he pretended to be casual and asked the other party: "Who keeps the radio station? The background is unreliable. We are now working in the heart of the enemy, so we must be careful about communication security."

"He's a new person transferred from the Telecommunications Section. He's been here since the days of Ji'exiang. He's from Hangcheng, Zhejiang Province, and was born in Huangpu. He just underwent a background check in the first half of the year and no problems were found. What's wrong, deputy director?"

He Yijun didn't know what happened, so he answered clearly.

"It's okay, you are like this..."

Zuo Zhong came close to her ear and whispered a few words. He Yijun nodded while listening. After the discussion, the two of them dispersed.

The next night, intelligence from all aspects came to Zuo Zhong's hands. According to the investigation by the agents, the underground party in Shanghai is currently very low-key.

Even if the Kuomintang and the underground party cooperated to resist Japan, the other party did not conduct public activities, so the personnel and strongholds could not be traced. For this reason, Zuo Zhong was furious.

They had never seen the deputy director lose his temper like this before. Wu Chunyang and others remained silent, secretly guessing whether the underground party had done something big again and made the other party angry.

But just when they decided to continue their in-depth investigation, another secret telegram was sent from Jinling to Shanghai. The person who sent the telegram was still Lao Dai, but the content was completely different.

"If you agree to the conditions of the underground party, you must destroy the Japanese plan."

Zuo Zhong threw the telegram into the brazier with an expressionless expression. Just as he guessed, the so-called investigation was indeed to test whether he had anything in common with him.

If he had stalled for time yesterday and failed to assign tasks in time, what awaits him today would probably be escorting him to Jinling and waiting for Faluo to be dealt with.

After all, he had risked his life to go to Chang'an to protect him, but to be treated like this, someone's unkindness and unrighteousness were really engraved in his bones.

No wonder more than ten years later, when the son of Chief Du, who had taken the blame for him many times, was short of money for school in the United States, the other party actually gave him thousands of dollars as if he was sending him away to a beggar, and he even paid it in installments.

A king treats his ministers like a piece of grass, and his ministers treat him like a bandit. How come some people don't understand this truth?

"Deputy Director, as you guessed, that person secretly used the radio today. Do you want it?"

He Yijun, who came to deliver the message, slowly made a downward gesture and looked coldly at the side.

"No need. He is also loyal to the party and the country. He is not surrendering to the enemy and treason. You can just keep an eye on him more in the future."

Zuo Chongpi said with a smile: "Besides, something happened to the other party as soon as Jin Ling received the news, which is equivalent to telling the leader that we were the ones responsible.

Don't worry, there will always be opportunities in the future. If there is a day when no one will die in Shanghai, go and call Song Minghao here. I have something to ask him."

"Understood."
