Chapter 572: A call from my hometown
After meeting Chen Mu, Chen Miao did not go home immediately. Tonight, he would go to see another person, which was Lao Fan.
It wasn't him who made an appointment with Lao Fan, it was Lao Fan who made an appointment with him.
At about nine o'clock, Chen Miao arrived at the place where he made an appointment with Lao Fan. He got off the bus early and walked a long way.
"This place was rented by Xiaozhuang, and it is a backup location for sending the report." Lao Fan opened the door and welcomed him in.
"Um."
"My relationship with Xiaozhuang is my cousin from afar, so it doesn't matter even if you are seen." Lao Fan explained again.
"Yes." Chen Miao nodded. He had seen Xiaozhuang several times. It was the shopkeeper of Hui Fang's brother Qiao Hai in the pharmacy opened by "Lin" Ji.
This prescription can be regarded as a secret transportation station of theirs, and is considered a backup and is not usually used.
"This is a telegram sent from my hometown, please take a look." Lao Fan took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Chen Miao who was sitting down.
The telegram was sent by the Central Committee to the Southeast Bureau and the New Fourth Army. Although it has nothing to do with Chen Miao, the hidden group, the hometown copied such an instruction to their hidden intelligence group. The purpose is very obvious. The domestic situation is very dangerous, especially for the New Fourth Army.
"Old Fan, what do I need to do?"
"You are so critical in this position. You have mastered certain channels for material smuggling. The central government asked the New Fourth Army to let the army expand and prepare for war, so as to be ready to resist the provocation and attack of the stubborn anti-communist elements in the Kuomintang at any time, but the most important thing in expanding the army is that we need weapons." Lao Fan took out a cigarette, twisted it, lit it, and took a sip.
“How much is needed?”
“The more, the better.”
"I may not be able to provide that much, but I can provide some information about the puppet army garrison. Our troops may not be able to fight against the Japanese army, but the puppet army that attacks these fence-bearing puppet troops should not be a big problem, right?" Chen Miao thought for a while and said.
"What do you mean is to capture and replenish soldiers by fighting these puppet troops?" Lao Fan said.
"Yes, also, don't fight these puppet troops to death. If you win, just seize the weapons. In addition, don't, the officers, take away the soldiers who have no evil deeds. Most of these people are from poor backgrounds, and some are even pulled out to be strong men. They join the army just to eat for a meal. When they get to our side, they can become our people with just a little education. They have some military skills and can quickly form combat power..."
"Why don't you have an officer?"
"Who are the officers in the puppet army? They are gangsters, no longer just traitors. The traitors who are guilty of great crimes can be suppressed, but some puppet army officers who have no evil deeds will be let go back. At that time, we can recruit soldiers and distribute weapons again..."
After hearing this, Lao Fan's eyes widened, and his idea was too damaging. He was asking the enemy to recruit troops and expand his army!
"I am now under the 76th. I can see most of the intelligence. Don't worry, with the information I provide, I guarantee that I can win 100% without saying that I can win the battle. I still have 70% to 80% of my confidence." Chen Miao said.
"Sure, I will report your idea to the superior leader, but if you really use this method, we can really expand a batch of troops in a very short time." Lao Fan nodded, thinking that Chen Miao's method has certain operability.
The source of the information may not be Chen Miao. There are no other lurking comrades within the Japanese and puppets, so there must be.
Moreover, as long as the water is muddy, I can't doubt Chen Miao's head, because the source of the leak is not Chen Miao alone. If you want to investigate, it will be difficult.
My hometown soon decided to accept Chen Miao's suggestion and began to attack the puppet army, who specialized in picking soft persimmons. With precise intelligence cooperation, he attacked dozens of puppet army's strongholds in Jiangbei and Jiangnan.
After seizing weapons, ammunition, various materials, and thousands of puppet army prisoners were educated, they joined the New Fourth Army, greatly expanding the New Fourth Army's strength in Jiangbei. This is a later story.
The leaders of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei later said that they had a shadow chief of staff. Without this shadow chief of staff, the New Fourth Army would not be able to grow and grow in a short period of time. Not only did they resist the attacks of the stubborn reactionaries of the Kuomintang, but they also became a considerable anti-Japanese force.
"There is another thing, I think Lin Shiqun is testing me." Chen Miao told Lao Fan about the "101st Air Raid Chongqing Combat Command" he called Lin Shiqun over to talk about today.
"This information is so important. Do you know, if you can know the batch and time of Japanese bombings in advance and prevent them in advance, how much sacrifice will be reduced?"
"If Lin Shiqun deliberately missed this news to me and then tested my reaction, or this was just a message. If Chongqing deployed and prevented according to this fake news, then I would be completely exposed." Chen Miao didn't understand this truth, but just for this information, it might be completely exposed. Is it worth it?
Of course, this is a bit difficult to choose. Compared with tens of millions of lives, it is really nothing to expose Chen Miao alone. The exposure of one person can be exchanged for tens of millions of people to survive.
No matter how you calculate this account, you can win.
Moreover, Chen Miao still has the opportunity to retreat from the whole province, so he doesn’t have to sacrifice his life as a price.
The question is, what if the information is fake?
Then all the previous efforts were in vain. It took so much effort and finally got to No. 76, but reached the critical position now, and gave up like this?
"Old Fan, I don't know whether this information is true or not. You should send it back to your hometown and ask your family to find other channels to verify it. If there is another source of information, even if the information is leaked from me, it may not be suspected to me, because there is more than one source of the leak." Chen Miao, "If there is no other related incidents, it means that this may be false information. Lin Shiqun took it out to test me."
"Okay, I will explain it in the telegram." Lao Fan nodded and agreed.
"The Japanese are using the drama of converting fake banknotes into real banknotes to disrupt the economic and financial order of the occupied areas. Although I don't know what plans they have, I have exposed them in newspapers now. They may stop for the time being, but there will definitely be plans for the future. This is a very troublesome thing." Chen Miao said.
"Is it difficult to tell whether the fake banknotes they printed are true or false?"
"At least ordinary people cannot recognize it." Chen Miao said.
"What impact will the counterfeit banknotes have if they enter circulation?" Lao Fan asked.
"I don't know much about economics, but once fake money becomes popular, it will cause real money to depreciate, and then inflation is inevitable."
“In other words, money is worthless?”
"Yes, but if the Japanese exchanged fake money for our real money, it would be different." Chen Miao said, "that's the same as we exchanged real money for a pile of waste paper. If the fiat currency continues to depreciate, then these wealth will be robbed by the Japanese."
"What are the benefits of them doing this?"
"In addition to collapse our economic order, we also plunder our materials, support our wars, and then control our finances, so that we can completely become Japanese colonies and vassals." Chen Miao explained.
"It's so vicious."
"Yes, but we have a particularly good way to deal with their vicious approach. Even if we know they do this, if they really make fake money and really let us identify it, then we will have no way." Chen Miao shook his head, "or rather, I didn't think of a better way."
"You are not omnipotent. If you can't think of it, others may not think of it. Don't worry about it, but you have to pay attention to it in Shanghai."
"I know, I have made some arrangements, but how to use them and whether they can work, I have no idea yet." Chen Miao said.
"You arranged the poisonous snake to go to the Yixin Society, which was based on this arrangement, right?" Lao Fan suddenly realized that although the fire poisonous snake needed a place to live, there were many choices. Chen Miao arranged him into the Yixin Society. The footwork organization is behind the Qing Gang organization, and now it is a traitor organization.
Because the Yoshinobu Society was backed by the support of the Japanese.
"That's right." Chen Miao nodded.
"You go back early. If you have news back, I will ask Xiaoqi to notify you as soon as possible." Lao Fan stood up and said to see him off.
"There is a curfew outside, you'll be tonight..."
"I'll stay here tonight and leave tomorrow morning." Lao Fan said.
"Okay, then I'll leave first." Chen Miao nodded, came out of the room, put on a top hat, observed at the door, and quickly disappeared into the dark alley.
...
"I'm back, smelling smoke, hurry up and take a shower..."
"Why are you so smart now? I used to be like this, you never dislike me." Chen Miao muttered with some dissatisfaction.
"I don't know either. Now I feel uncomfortable when I smell the smoke on you." Liang Xueqin frowned.
"Are pregnant women like this?"
"Maybe, I plan to go to Dr. He's place tomorrow." Liang Xueqin said, "You don't go, just let Brother Wu drive, Qiaoer will accompany me."
"How can Lao Wu be alone enough? Let Ahu and A Fei follow him and drive another car." Chen Miao said.
"Okay." Liang Xueqin agreed without long enough eyes. She had experience of being kidnapped, and she was still scared when she thought about it. Now that she is pregnant in her belly, she should be even more cautious.
"Hongyu's voice is good. Although it's a little late to study now, it would be great if she can cooperate with Qiaoer and debut in a double stage."
Chen Miao took a hot shower.
"Where is Lao Gu?"
"Lao Gu is old, and he got seriously ill last year. Until now, his energy and spirit are no longer as good as before. If Hongyu is willing to learn, he can be a teacher." Liang Xueqin said.
"Does Lao Gu mean this?"
"I have been wandering for most of my life and have no successor. I guess I want to pass on this skill." Liang Xueqin said, "It's this red jade..."
"Try it first, let's talk about it if you can't." Chen Miao walked over and sat next to his wife, "What do you think?"
