Cicada Moving

Chapter 378 Old K

 “Hello, Comrade Gu He.”

 “Hello, Comrade Shi Ning.”

Jinling Underground Party Secretary Shi Ning enthusiastically shook hands with a person. This person was the strange Fruit Party official Zuo Zhong saw. They were surrounded by Jinling Municipal Party Committee staff who were working with their heads down.

 Obviously, this official residence of the Guo Party Construction Committee is where the Jinling Underground Party Municipal Committee is located. The number one enemy that the secret service headquarters is racking its brains to find is actually hiding beside them.

This place belongs to Lu Province Road, only a few hundred meters away from the National Government, and the secret service headquarters is also located a few kilometers away from Lu Province Road. Even if Xu Enzeng was killed, he would not have expected that he and the underground party were neighbors.

Shi Ning said with a complicated expression: "Finally, I've been waiting for you, Comrade Gu He. You came to Jinling to take charge of the intelligence work of the party organization. Finally, we don't have to look at you in the dark.

 The situation between us and the enemy is very serious now, and the enemy is becoming more and more ferocious. Lao Zhang, alas, an old colleague and old friend for so many years, I really didn’t expect that he would die because of a traitor and a gangster. "

 Speaking of this, even though he is used to seeing life and death, Shi Ning's eyes are still a little red. He and Zhang Anren have been working together since the 16th year of the Republic of China. After getting along for 67 years, their relationship is naturally extraordinary.

“Yes, the enemy is everywhere.”

Although Gu He did not know Zhang Anren, he felt sorry for the sacrifice of this steadfast comrade, and then asked: "Why is the building so quiet? This is not like a Kuomintang organization."

 When he was just walking, he always felt like he was being spied on, but he made several anti-tracking actions and found no stalkers. This made him feel very uneasy and he had to ask about the specific situation.

Shi Ning nodded: "An assassination occurred yesterday in the National Government. A group of dog agents from the Secret Service came in the evening. They said that someone saw the assassin running into the construction committee and wanted to conduct a search."

Gu He frowned and thought for a while, then walked to the window and lifted a corner of the curtain. He scanned the Construction Committee Building with sharp eyes. It looked very normal and nothing suspicious was found.

“Is there a problem, Comrade Gu He?”

Shi Ning couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Since the last time the municipal party committee's headquarters was discovered by the enemy, he used the comrades lurking in the construction committee to set up the municipal committee in a small courtyard next to the enemy's heart.

Relying on the special status of the official residence, he has successfully evaded several enemy searches. Now the municipal party committee has a total of twenty or thirty staff members and a large amount of confidential materials. If something goes wrong, it will be serious.

 Gu He thought for a while and shook his head: "Secretary Shi, I suggest establishing a backup location elsewhere to improve the evacuation channels for the municipal committee's personnel. After all, it is too close to the secret service headquarters.

The black under the lamp just caught the enemy by surprise. If you want to persist in working for a long time, you have to choose another place. The closer you are to the core of the enemy's rule, the higher the vigilance of the military and police officers will be.

Any omissions by comrades who are out will expose the municipal party committee. Of course, I am not saying that we don’t trust comrades, but we cannot risk the party’s cause. Please don’t misunderstand, Secretary Shi. "

He chose to trust his own feelings. This was the instinct of an old intelligence officer. He would rather spend more energy on relocating the municipal committee than take risks. The lives of countless people were at stake.

 After the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the underground party organization in Jinling suffered several losses, and comrades continued to sacrifice their lives. This was not because there was a problem with Shi Ning's leadership, but because the enemy's power in Jinling was too strong.

 Jinling has a population of only about one million, but the Guo Party has as many as 110,000 military and political personnel, and nearly 10,000 police officers are registered. Guo Party officials claim that Jinling is a city like an iron barrel.

 In this context where the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves is very different, no one can be too careful. Only by protecting themselves can they provide more and more valuable intelligence to the party and the organization.

 “Alternate location, evacuation route.”

Shi Ning thought about it and made a decision, and invited Gu He into a small room. He had to introduce many situations to him, and only members of the municipal committee were qualified to know these secrets.

The underground party organization has been able to persist in Jinling until now because of its iron-like discipline. Everyone only knows what they should know and minimizes the risks caused by people being arrested and rebelling.

 “Lao Gu, please sit down.”

Shi Ning first poured a cup of tea for Gu He and then said seriously: "You used to work in Peiping, so you don't know much about many things. The Jinling Municipal Party Committee has very few funding sources and basically relies on allocations from superiors.

I'm not afraid of your jokes. If Lao Zhang hadn't handed over some US dollars, I, the secretary, would have to find a job to raise funds, so the alternate location can be set up, but the scale will definitely not be too large.

As for the retreat channel, it has been prepared for a long time. There is a moat less than a hundred meters away from here. We have hidden several small boats. In an emergency, we can leave by boat and go to the vicinity of the Central Martial Arts Hall.

The security environment and people there are complex, and the enemy cannot conduct a complete blockade. Once there, it will be safe. It is very convenient to go out of the city or into the city. Lao Gu, take a look at this map. "

As he spoke, Shi Ning took out a large-scale map of Jinling, which was filled with the positions of military and police checkpoints. A red line extended from their location to the south to the vicinity of the Guoshu Museum.

This map is not simple.

 Gu He is a good shopper. When he saw the map, he was moved. Large-scale maps are easy to buy, but the various information marked on them cannot be bought with money. This is top secret information. The layout of Jinling Police Department, City Defense Headquarters, Secret Service Headquarters, and Secret Service Division were clearly laid out in front of him. The person who provided the map must be a high-ranking member of the Kuomintang Party.

Gu He asked thoughtfully: "Where did this map come from?"

 “Provided by Lao Zhang.”

Shi Ning sighed again: "In addition to this precious map, there are also the US dollars I just mentioned, and a batch of weapons and ammunition. Without these, the last rescue mission would not have been successful.

Not only this, but also the fact that the address of the Municipal Party Committee was revealed by the traitor and the underground printing factory was exposed. It was Lao Zhang who gave the warning in advance. Otherwise, I would never have had the chance to meet you here today. "

 Gu He knew it well, and it was indeed Qiu Chan who provided it. No wonder before leaving, his superiors repeatedly asked him to establish contact with Qiu Chan. From this map, he can see how important the other party is.

Several critical warnings also indicate that he is at the core of the Fruit Party. Without Qiu Chan, Jinling's organization may have been destroyed by the enemy. From this point of view, Qiu Chan is worthy of trust.

However, the current struggle situation is too complicated to rush to establish formal contact, and there is no room for carelessness in intelligence work. This is also to protect Qiu Chan's safety, and he cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Shi Ning added seriously: "So Lao Gu, you have to restore the intelligence network as soon as possible. We work at the heart of the enemy. We can't do it without accurate intelligence. This is the first task I give you."

Gu He nodded without saying anything. He came to Jinling according to the orders of his superiors and used the code name Lao K to contact Qiu Chan. He could not disclose this matter to anyone except the superior authorities.

 Even if it’s Shi Ning.

The existence of Qiu Chan is not only related to the Jinling underground party, but also related to higher-level intelligence operations. For example, the frontline military intelligence he provided saved the lives of many comrades.

In the words of a superior leader, at a critical moment, one cicada is worth a hundred thousand troops. All information related to the opponent must be kept strictly confidential, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

“Comrade Gu He, if we set up a backup location for the municipal committee, where do you think it would be better to put it? You are an expert in this area. Let’s discuss it together and ensure the safety of the municipal committee.

As for the required funds, there will always be a way. If it doesn’t work, I still have a few acres of farmland at home. After selling it, it will be enough. Anyway, I can feed myself and the whole family will not be hungry. "Shi Ning said cheerfully.

 Gu He felt sour when he heard this. He knew that the other party was speaking easily. He must know that the Shi family was once a well-known large family in the local area. After Shi Ning joined the revolution, he sold out all the fields and shops.

　　Not for personal enjoyment, but to provide funds for the organization. Even if comrades can tighten their belts and work, they can rent houses, purchase weapons, ammunition, and medicines, all of which require money.

As a result, when his parents passed away, he couldn't even afford the money to buy a cemetery, so he organized help to solve the problem. Even so, the young master at that time did not complain at all.

 Gu He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a forced smile: "This time I came to Jinling, the organization asked me to bring you a fund. In addition to reporting to you, I am here today to hand over the fund."

As he spoke, he took off his coat, unbuttoned the washed white shirt, took off a bunch of **** cloth bags around his waist, and placed them gently on the table. There was a metallic collision sound in the cloth bags.

 Gu He introduced the bag while untying it: "Twenty small yellow croakers total twenty taels. I also asked Secretary Shi to weigh them and write a receipt. With these things, I even sleep with one eye open."

"so much."

Shi Ning immediately exclaimed and then blamed himself. The war situation in the southwest is not optimistic now, the base area has suffered unprecedented damage, the tax system exists in name only, and the organization is also very difficult.

It must have been very difficult for the superior to come up with so much gold at once. If he could raise more funds, the gold could have been used to purchase more weapons and destroy more enemies.

 Gu He did not dare to take off the gold even though his skin was worn, which also showed how precious this batch of gold was. He touched the cloth bag that still had body heat and sighed deeply without any joy.

Gu He seemed to have guessed his thoughts, with a smile on his face: "This is what we captured from attacking the enemy's material transfer point. Rather than letting them embezzle it, it is better to use it in a more meaningful place.

This can be regarded as their contribution to the cause of the party. When the revolution wins in the future, we have to thank these people. They have a share of the credit for the victory of the revolution, right? "

“It’s easier for them.” Shi Ning also laughed after saying this.

While the two of them were discussing, Zuo Zhong was still lying by the window sill of the conference room. He didn't know that he had become Zuo Shiwan. His attention was focused on the dead mailbox.

In the dark night, a figure slowly approached the dead mailbox. The other person looked around and bent down to take the information. Then he quickly ran away and disappeared in the busy traffic.

I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, and I can’t seem to lift my spirits. I have a headache when I wake up, and I don’t know what’s wrong, so I go to bed early. If there are any typos, please feel free to catch them. I’ll get up and revise them. I’m sorry, it affects everyone’s reading experience.
