Section 1235 Psychological Control
Mountain city, bronze street.
The warm winter sun spreads to the land of Bayu, and the golden signs on the roadside reflect a hazy halo. Xiang Fang and Gui Youguang walked shoulder to shoulder, strolling on the street full of exotic style.
Since the early 1930s, many foreign banks have been gathered in the area of Datong Street. After the outbreak of the war, more financial institutions moved here, Datong Street has thus become the most important financial center in the war.
Foreign banks and commercial banks brought Baroque style, Western classical architectural style, and new modern architectural style to the mountain city, and young men and women who pursue fashion regarded this place as a date place.
"Captain Zhang, the time of peace is so beautiful."
Xiang Fang, wearing a short fur coat and a small round hat, looked at the bustling crowd and said, with a sincere expression, as if she liked such a scene very much.
Gui Youguang, who was standing beside him, nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's a pity that the Japanese have not been driven away yet. This kind of life is not long, Miss Xiang, are you right?"
He took the opportunity to test Xiang Fang's attitude towards the Japanese. After saying that, he stared at the other party's face and became more vigilant.
Xiang Fang looked excited when she heard this and clenched her fists: "We will definitely drive away the Japanese!"
Gui Youguang could not see the problem from her reaction. He was disappointed and invited Xiang Fang to a coffee shop. The two sat down at the round table on the side of the road, drinking coffee and continuing to chat.
"Miss Xiang, what are your daily entertainment?"
"Read books and attend women's salon."
"Women's salon? What's that place? Can you tell me?"
"A place where you talk, by the way, Captain Zhang, have you ever met the underground party?"
Xiang Fang talked about the Jinlan Club and asked a very sensitive question.
In mountain cities, especially in the mountain cities after the incident in Jiangnan, the three words underground party can easily cause trouble. No one knows the police spies in the police station, so they will find out where the corners will pop up.
Gui Youguang is confused, why should the target raise the dissident? Is their speculation wrong? Will Jin Lan really have something to do with the underground party?
No, the underground party does not have the habit of using female intelligence personnel to obtain intelligence in this way. It is said that this violates the discipline of the Northwest, so their speculation is fine.
But the trouble is that the deputy poster did not prepare this question for his actions. How should he answer it himself? It is impossible to say that he has met an underground party in the interrogation room.
After hesitating for a moment, Gui Youguang replied vaguely based on the combat records of the troops where he was in the fake identity: "I have seen that when I was in the southwest, the 37th Army participated in the encirclement and suppression."
"What kind of people are they?" Xiang Fang asked further.
Gui Youguang's answer to such a fatal question is very cautious: "Disabilities are good at manipulating people's hearts. Miss Xiang should not ask too much, so as not to cause trouble for the family."
Xiang Fang looked a little disappointed, but did not ask any further questions. She smiled and changed the theme of the conversation to what "Zhang Xiuping" saw on the battlefield. The two "talked very happily".
After all, anyone will feel happy if a good-looking daughter holds her chin and looks at you with admiration.
However, Gui Youguang discovered that during the conversation, Xiang Fang tried to inquire about the confidential information of the Ninth War Zone, and the inquiry method was very clever and he was likely to have received professional training.
The other party cleverly hid the issue of obtaining intelligence in seemingly normal conversations, such as she asked how many machine guns the subordinates of "Zhang Xiuping" had, whether the commanders at all levels were close to the front line, whether the sound of cannons sounded loud, whether they could eat meat and vegetables during wartime, etc.
To ordinary people, this is just a cause of curiosity, but in the eyes of professional intelligence personnel, a lot of information can be analyzed through these issues.
For example, the arrangement habits, equipment, supply levels, and logistics transportation efficiency of the command centers at all levels of the 37th Army are all top secret information.
In order to gain Xiang Fang's trust, Gui Youguang answered several of the questions, but avoided the more sensitive parts.
This is in line with the records of the character of "Zhang Xiuping" in the National Government archives - it is bold and meticulous. If it is revealed, it will seem a bit deliberate.
The two chatted like this for a long time. With the help of action guidance and the information collected in advance, Gui Youguang made Xiang Fang smile like a flower, and sometimes made him frown and heartbroken.
At noon, the two went to a Western restaurant for a meal, and then went to the cinema to watch the movie, the standard Little Bourgeois lifestyle.
It is worth mentioning that Xiang Fang paid the bills actively during this period, and someone enjoyed the joy of eating a soft rice and hard meal in advance.
In the evening, Gui Youguang met Zuo Chong at his temporary residence, truthfully reported on his itinerary for the day, and submitted a written action log.
Zuo Chong's face was solemn after watching it. The background of the Jinlan Association may be even more complicated than expected. Now it depends on whether He Yijun can enter the core circle of the Jinlan Association.
He walked to the window and looked at the slowly quiet mountain city through the white screen, with deep eyes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No. 14, Dexingli.
He Yijun sat on the sofa with Miss Kong Er and listened carefully to the speech of Sima Linglong, President of Jinlan Association.
"Dear members, although there was some unhappiness in the government and the underground party, joint anti-Japanese war is a general trend. I want to raise some materials to send them to the northwest, and I would like to donate generously."
When Miss Kong Er frowned when she heard that she wanted to raise funds for the underground party, she frowned, and the other officials and wives also looked embarrassed. Some even felt dissatisfied and thought that Sima Linglong was looking for trouble.
The incident in Jiangnan made the national government very embarrassed. If someone knew that they were delivering supplies to the northwest, their husbands, fathers, and brothers would definitely be in trouble.
The room was in a state of disarray. Just when Sima Linglong was in a dilemma, several people finally raised their hands and expressed their willingness to donate some money to buy supplies.
Among these people are Xiang Fang and Zhong Xiao, who are not old and are just a passionate person. They don’t care whether doing so will cause trouble to themselves and their families.
"Okay, thank you for your support."
A smile appeared on Sima Linglong's face again and she gently clapped her hands. When the other members saw someone as a big shot, they also clapped their hands with great shame.
He Yijun silently wrote down the name of the donor, tilted his head and discussed with Miss Kong Er for a moment, raised his hand and said lightly.
"President Sima, I pledge five thousand oceans."
If you want to integrate into Jinlan Club as soon as possible, you must show your performance. Giving money is the most direct way. No matter where you are, generous people are always easy to make friends.
Moreover, Xiang Fang's behavior was very strange at the last party. Perhaps he could open a breakthrough from donating and figure out what the other party talked about with Sima Linglong.
As He Yijun expected, all members, including Zhong Xiao and Xiang Fang, looked at her, with surprise and admiration in their eyes.
Unlike the soaring fiat currency, five thousand oceans are not a small amount, which is enough to buy more than 10,000 kilograms of rice, five thousand kilograms of pork, or one thousand to two thousand ordinary cotton coats.
After receiving such a large donation, Sima Linglong immediately smiled and solemnly thanked He Yijun for several words. Then he chatted about gossip as usual, and then announced the end of the party.
Before leaving, Sima Linglong pointed out the names of He Yijun and several other donors and invited them to stay and discuss the donation. Everyone nodded and agreed.
He Yijun understood that the opportunity to enter the core of Jinlan Club has come, but she will also face Sima Linglong.
Once she reveals a flaw in this, not only will the task fail, but she will also fall into danger. So she secretly cheered up and prepared to deal with the test.
Sima Linglong sent Miss Kong Er and the members away, asked the maid to change to new refreshments, sat on the main seat with a smile, and expressed his gratitude to He Yijun again.
"Ms. Shao, if it weren't for your support just now, I would be a little unlucky."
Her arm was leaning against the back of the chaise longue, sitting gracefully, holding a handkerchief in her hand and chuckled in front of her face, her expression was very charming.
Zhong Xiao, Xiang Fang and others didn't say anything, picked up the teacup and drank the tea. He Yijun looked around and then returned with a bright smile.
"President Sima is polite. Everyone is just having doubts, not having any objections to you."
Sima Linglong looked at He Yijun and said openly: "Ms. Shao, you grew up in Malaya and don't know much about the situation in China. They participated in the Jinlan Club to establish a relationship with Miss Kong. Naturally, they would not raise funds for the Northwest. I have offended many people by saying so."
When she talked about this, she suddenly paused and asked, "I wonder what Miss Shao thinks about the underground party?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhong Xiao, Xiang Fang and others all read them. He Yijun thought about it and gave an ambiguous answer.
"I have heard the underground party preaching several times in Malaya. Due to the restrictions of the colonial government, most of the contents they talk about are simple, so I am not very clear about their thoughts.
But after returning to China, I read the "New Watson News" in the northwest. Its articles and reports are indeed inspiring, completely different from the dull atmosphere of the mountain city, and it is fascinating."
This answer is not abrupt. In the current Republic of China, any young person who is new to the idea of the underground party will react like this.
Sima Linglong nodded, then adjusted the topic, talked about emotions from thoughts and beliefs, and asked "Shao Ying" if she had a favorite partner. If not, she could introduce young talents on her behalf.
Not only that, Sima Linglong also used herself as an example to teach everyone how to gain the favor of the opposite sex and become a close sister.
She told He Yijun and others that as women, they should "understand" the opposite sex, and they can play roles that are gentle, considerate, or understanding, and create a sense of dependence and emotional need for the other party.
When getting along, don’t rush to give clear promises or definitions in the relationship. You must keep hope and devoted to each other, and bring the relationship closer to the two little by little.
When necessary, you can also use other opposite sexes to exert pressure on their own favor or feelings.
Finally, you should give some small gifts during daily meetings and bear the date fee to prove that they don’t care about money and avoid misunderstandings from the opposite sex.
He Yijun listened attentively, but the more he listened, the more he became, the more he was wrong. This was not a way for men and women to get along with each other. It was clearly a skillful psychological control technique.
Beauty is the guide, emotional manipulation, gifts, and pressure. After these steps, you can completely control the mind of the target to a certain extent.
If Zuo Chong was present, he would understand why he felt familiar when he saw Bian Jichao and Zhong Xiao, Xiang Fang and "Zhang Xiuping" getting along. He is the legendary girl.
The only difference is that some people in later generations used this method to make money, while Sima Linglong used this method to get information.
The power behind Jinlan Society is never simple. If you want to combine psychology and intelligence activities, you need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to study. Generally, countries do not have this strength.
