Huang Ke's heart trembled when he looked at the swaddling baby.

When he came to this world, at the beginning, in order to "save medicine", he was very opposed to the random abuse of those precious medicines brought over.But seeing the weeping and struggling hands of the young and fragile creatures in the orphanage, no matter how hard-hearted he was, he was greatly shocked, so that he spent a lot of time during this period.

Elena touched the baby's face, the baby's eyes could not be opened yet, she whispered: "Tomorrow, I will find a few more nurses, I will pay for the money, and breastfeed these children as much as possible , at least breastmilk and milk powder should be mixed together.”

Pastor Dong nodded, while the nurses from other orphanages were preparing new beds for the new babies.Then Huang Ke walked out, but Pastor Dong followed him.

Pastor Dong said to Huang Ke:

"Miss Elena is a good person. She saved many children, but she couldn't save all the children in China. And there are tens of thousands of such children in China."

Huang Ke's heart moved, and he instantly understood what was going on: Pastor Dong finally couldn't help it, and began to test him and secretly promote revolutionary ideas.

He replied: "Yes, what Elena is doing now is just a small kindness, and she can only save the few children in front of me...In this era, to be precise, in the past thousands of years, drowning babies Infanticide and infanticide are common phenomena, partly because they cannot afford to raise them, and partly because this is an era of exploitation and cannibalism. In this modern industrial civilized society, in fact, the productivity of the whole earth is enough to feed every child born Yes, but due to the cruel and unfair distribution method, there are still some places where rich families stink of wine and meat, and some places just exchange children for food!"

Pastor Dong's body trembled, and the way he looked at Huang Ke changed accordingly.He originally wanted to take the opportunity to test Huang Ke, but Huang Ke's reply to him was simply better than that of an "orthodox revolutionary" who saw the origin of pain.

He tentatively asked again: "Last month, those things about Bank of Communications..."

At this time, Huang Ke no longer wanted to continue the game of pretending not to know who the other party was.

He directly pointed out: "The old Shen who bought vegetables is an underground party..."

"cough......"

Huang Ke's straightforwardness made Pastor Dong almost out of breath.

Huang Ke said with a smile:

"The purchaser is a fat job. During this period of time, he has sold tens of thousands of oceans. The accounts he made are clear, there is no food or card, and they are clean. Elena and I threw the orphanage at full power. If you handle it, your hands and feet are also very clean. In this luxurious Shanghai, probably only people from a certain party who are made of special materials can have such clean hands and feet..."

"..."

Reverend Dong's mind went blank for a moment when he was hit by Huang Ke's combined punches instantly. When he was about to refute and deny it, Huang Ke put away the last bit of indecency on his face, and recited like a memorization:

"Red Pastor Dong Jianwu, joined China TG in 1927, joined the Central Special Branch in Shanghai in 1929, engaged in secret intelligence and liaison work. In 1930, he opened the "Datong Kindergarten" to adopt the children of leaders and orphans of martyrs—for example, the two children of Li Desheng A child! Well, let me think about it, those two children, their aliases at the time, one named Yang Yongfu and the other named Yang Yonggui, should be transferred to your ex-wife by you now..."

Pastor Dong's face turned white in an instant, and he clenched his right hand more habitually. He stared fixedly at Huang Ke with his eyes wide open, and Huang Ke also looked back at him calmly.

What Huang Ke recited was exactly the "Baidu Encyclopedia" information related to Pastor Dong that he found through the Internet before the last "lost contact".Regarding the life of Pastor Dong, another Huang Ke bought a copy of his personal biography "Red Pastor Dong" online at that time. Unfortunately, the contact across time and space was interrupted unexpectedly, and there was no more information.

Huang Ke said:

"Do you think we are agents of the Democratic Party?"

Pastor Dong asked:

"The teachers at Jiaotong University spoke highly of you, and the two of you are really good at curing opium addiction. I think it is impossible for those scum who have ruined the country and the people to find someone like you to be a spy, and neither of you Possibly a spy. But who are you?"

Finally able to speak, Pastor Dong no longer acted, but he was still very careful, asking too many questions but answering too few.

Huang Ke nodded and said:

"Let's talk about Elena first. When you first saw her, she was wearing a priest's robe and an anti-cross—the robe was snatched from a foreign church in Nanxun, Huzhou. Killing, setting fire, The robbery was all done by her. She hates God very much, and she hates missionaries very much. So, she doesn’t like your hidden identity as a pastor. Fortunately, you didn’t preach to her, and she also knows that you are red As a pastor, I know that you are a hypocrite in essence, so I can tolerate you."

Dong Jianwu nodded, but did not speak, he was waiting for Huang Ke to reveal more information.

"Eileen is not Chinese, but her revolutionary nature, as long as she is guided well, her thirst for revolution is not only far superior to mine, but even higher than yours. Mr. Dong, you chose Bolshevism because of you In my long life, I have seen many sufferings of the nation in this country, and I have also seen the best group of people in this country in the past 20 years. In order to find the light, they tried again and again, failed again and again, and constantly Trial and error, failure, repeated reincarnation and filtration, the last remaining, or in other words, the final crystallized road..."

"But Eileen is different. She has seen a beautiful Utopian world. That world looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact, all living beings are just gods high above, and cattle and sheep raised on the ground—on the day of harvest. When it arrived, the seemingly perfect heaven turned into the most terrifying hell in an instant. Eileen had seen and experienced all of this, and was even forced to carry out the "harvest of the gods" herself. She really She has experienced the hell created by the gods! Even though her body has come out now, her soul and thoughts are still trapped in the painful memories of the hell period..."

When Huang Ke and Pastor Dong were talking, they were standing in the open space of the yard outside.There is no light in the yard, but the Dashang Beach is still bright after ten o'clock.The peripheral light of the neon lights in the nearby concession cast over and fell on Huang Ke's face, outlining colorful brilliance.

Huang Ke's words were not very clear, but Pastor Dong was clever enough to hear some of what he meant.

"What happened to Elena, I can't tell you too much detail. I can only tell you that now she is actually still living in the darkness and hell of the past, her heart is full of self-destructive tendencies— - The one who destroys all her hopes is God, God. So, you must not, in front of her, imitate those foreign priests who talk nonsense about gods pitying the world. It is an act of seeking death and actively seeking death. The last one The guy who did it, the corpse has been smelling for a long time...Fortunately, you are a false priest, and you can be regarded as a blasphemer, so you should not make this mistake."

Pastor Dong asked, "Then, are you looking for a new light when you come to me?"

"Looking for the light? Well said, I persuaded her to come to Shanghai, and persuaded her to follow me to hunt down the Zhumao bandits who were being hunted down by Chairman Chang Kaishen Wanli. The reason is: you can find the real light and hope, to bring back what was lost, what was taken away."

Pastor Dong nodded to express his understanding. Although he didn't understand a lot of things in his heart, he knew that the two sides were still in the stage of testing each other. It is not easy to expose more things.

"In a month, Elena and I will leave temporarily. At this time, our plan is to catch up with the "two red bandits" who are being hunted down..."

As he spoke, Huang Ke took out a newspaper from his arms - "Shenbao", on the front page of the newspaper, it read "XXX Army in the

Zhu Mao's bandit army was defeated somewhere in Guizhou, and the leader of the bandit, Li Desheng, was executed.

Huang Ke said with a smile:

"The content in the newspaper is, of course, nonsense. As you know, these two have been killed many times in the past ten years in the newspaper..."

Pastor Dong also laughed in a rare way.

"However, on the banks of the Xiangjiang River a few months ago, the Red Army from Jiangxi did suffer heavy losses. About [-] Red Army soldiers died on both sides of the Xiangjiang River."

The topic suddenly became serious.

"I don't want to procrastinate any longer, and I don't want to waste any more energy. I've been with you for so long, and it's time to reveal some of my trump cards. I hold a transportation line in my hand that can transport hundreds of tons of materials at a time. We are planning to go to northern Sichuan within a month to replenish the urgently needed military supplies for the Red Army. We can get a lot of supplies here in Shanghai, and we have the ability to take them without asking or giving money, just like the last time we robbed the Bank of Communications! But The biggest problem is that we only have one chance to sell, but I don’t know which warehouse the materials we want are in, and when and where to sell them. During this time, I dealt with various bosses in Shanghai Beach, the purpose is to Collect information on this...Mr. Dong, you are the leader here, and you have a lot of information, and I need your help in this area!"

-------------------- Chapter 38 Join forces --------------------

During the days when Chairman Li Desheng's two sons, the "Yang" brothers, lived at Pastor Dong's ex-wife Huang Huiguang's house, the Shanghai underground party suffered more and more serious damage each time.

Beginning in September 1933, in order to deal with the alarm system installed by the Central Special Branch in the military and police spies, the Central Union spies used the method of "cell infiltration" to break into the underground party in Shanghai.The so-called "cell infiltration" means that after the person is caught, he is immediately taken to a nearby hotel for surprise interrogation, quickly goes through the procedure of secretly surrendering himself, and then releases him immediately, so that the traitor will not be discovered, and infiltrates into the CCP organization as an insider cell.From this, the situation becomes more sinister.How sinister is it?

The report of the Central Committee said: "This roundabout secret attack on the Communist Party began in September 1933. By the end of 9, when the results were checked, 1934 Communist Party cadres had been identified, of which 485 had accepted our mission. Therefore, we have returned to the level of keeping abreast of the general activities of the Communist Party in Shanghai.” “During the five months from April to August 183, we had a complete understanding of the content of the Red Team. It had a total of 1934 people, including 4 of our disguised personnel."

In this way, the famous Teko "red team" was broken into and destroyed by the "cells" dispatched by the Central Committee, and all members were captured on the street within a day.After repeated attempts to persuade them to surrender were ineffective, Kuang Hui'an, Meng Huating, Zhao Xuan, and Chen Jieming were executed by hanging.Kuang Hui'an is the captain of the red team.

On June 1934, 6, Li Zhusheng, secretary of the Shanghai Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China, was arrested by special agents, along with Li Dezhao, head of the secretariat, Yuan Mengchao, secretary of the Party League of the ACFTU, Zhao Liren, secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, as well as staff and inspectors. , more than 26 traffic officers.Li Zhusheng confessed the addresses of Sheng Zhongliang and others after the spy persuaded him to surrender.

On October 1934, 10, nine people, including Sheng Zhongliang, the second secretary of the Shanghai Central Bureau, Zhou Xiuzhu, who was in charge of the radio station, and Wang Youcai, the director of the radio station, were arrested successively.

On February 1935, 2, the Shanghai Central Bureau was destroyed for the third time.Thirty-six party members and cadres, including Huang Wenrong, the third secretary (crab), He Chengxiang, head of the Organization Department, Zhu Jingwo, head of the Propaganda Department, Yang Hansheng, secretary of the Cultural Committee, and Xu Dixin, secretary of the Communist Youth League, were arrested.It was during this period that Pastor Dong lost contact with his superiors.

These three major destructions caused almost complete loss of the Shanghai underground party organization, especially the huge loss of personnel. We had to transfer some cadres from various systems in Shanghai to form a temporary team to temporarily assume the leadership of the Shanghai Central Bureau. In late March 1935, the Shanghai Temporary Central Committee was established headed by Liu Zhonghua (cadre of the Central (Crab) Army (Crab) Committee), He Changzhi (cadre of the Central Special Section) and Puhuaren (cadre of the Central Propaganda Department). (Crab) Central Bureau.

However, only four months later, on July 1935, 7, the Shanghai Temporary Central (crab) Central Bureau was severely damaged by Kuomintang agents. More than 22 agencies were searched. 39 people were arrested, including the person in charge of the bureau, Puhuaren.

Under such circumstances, in August 1935, Wang Shiying, the person in charge of the Shanghai Navy Commission and the Central Special Section, decided to cancel the Shanghai Temporary Central Bureau and the Central Special Section based on letters from Wang Ming and Kang Sheng. Some of the remaining party members and cadres were transferred to Tianjin. Some were sent to Hunan, Sichuan, Moscow and other places.

So far, the underground party organization in Shanghai has basically been completely destroyed, and the monthly payment of the Ying brothers on the other side of the organization has been interrupted.To make matters worse, during this period, Dong Jianwu himself was asked by the church to resign as a pastor because of suspicion of being "red" and lost his financial resources. He also had to hide because his party referrer, Puhua, was arrested.When the people in Puhua were arrested, Dong Jianwu hid, and no one cared, Huang Huiguang, as a housewife who was not a party member, brought her four children and two "unknown" Hunan children alone. One can imagine the situation, it must be worrying all day long, life is extremely difficult, and beating and scolding children in a hurry may be unavoidable.Starved and beaten, two stubborn little brothers ran away from home. Historically, the two ran away from home in the autumn of this year, probably from July to August, and then wandered in Shanghai for nearly a year.

The time when Huang Ke and Pastor Dong had a showdown was exactly in mid-June 1935, when the underground party organization in Shanghai suffered the fourth large-scale destruction.

The main reason why Pastor Dong was able to escape three consecutive large-scale destructions was that he worked in a special direction and did not belong to the same line as the group of temporary organizations that were destroyed—to be precise, he lost contact.The newly formed underground party organization that is currently working in Shanghai has just arrived. Due to communication problems and the recovery period after the large-scale destruction, they are temporarily unable to get in touch with the remaining underground workers in Shanghai who are in a state of being out of contact. .

For Pastor Dong, the "lost contact" with his superiors was lucky, allowing him to escape the forthcoming fourth major destruction of underground party organizations.

Regarding this period of history, Huang Ke, who was in 1935, only found the "short narrative" of the above short thousand words through Baidu search in 2010, and more key details, such as: There is a serious lack of information on who the hidden secret agents who broke into the underground party at this time, who the traitors appeared during this period, and what happened in detail.

If the two Huang Ke hadn't "lost contact", the other space-time Huang Ke could search for relevant historical materials, and then arrest traitors and spies according to the list, and help the Shanghai underground party across time and space, but there is no such way now.Pastor Dong, who is in a state of "lost contact" with his superiors, currently has only a few underground party members on his line who can find companions.

Although he knew part of the history, Huang Ke was careful not to disclose this information to Pastor Dong when the key information was unknown. He knew that if he said it, Pastor Dong would probably be desperate Go find the newly established Shanghai Bureau, and then get stuck and die together.It is now June 6th, and there are only more than 20 days before July 7nd.

Huang Ke judged that the "Shanghai Bureau" in this period was internally estimated to have been infiltrated by the Central Command's spies like a sieve. People are in the pit.Without the intelligence support from "Future" to find out the specific situation of the traitors and secret agents, contacting them impulsively will definitely not lead to good results.

——Historically, Pastor Dong has been suspected by the spies during this period, and received a warning letter from the spies, warning him not to take in unidentified children.Because of the secret agent's suspicion and external pressure, he was forced to resign from the church, so his life was in trouble.The reason why the spies only warned rather than arrested was because they couldn’t get any definite evidence. Secondly, Pastor Dong was considered a celebrity in Shanghai. He was a classmate with Song Ziwen. He had been baptized by Feng Yuxiang and had extensive social connections. The spies dare not mess around.

However, because of his "semi-revealed identity", the underground party organization TG rebuilt for the fourth time in Shanghai actively excluded him for the sake of safety and did not contact him for the time being. destroy.

That night, Huang Ke drove the car, drove Pastor Dong into the concession area, entered the concession area, and stopped the car near the Yihe Wharf in Hongkou District.

After getting out of the car and standing on the embankment of the pier, Huang Ke handed Pastor Dong a high-magnification military telescope made in the 21st century.

It is eleven o'clock in the evening, but the dock area of ​​the concession is still brightly lit, and there are long lines of foreign ships docked at the dock, and they are still working overnight to unload their cargo.June is the peak season for shipping, and during the economic crisis of the Great Depression, the United Kingdom and the United States even regarded China as a dumping place for foreign goods to divert domestic crises. Sea-like goods are frantically flowing into China through Shanghai, the largest freight port in the Far East.

"Because the Red Front Army departing from Jiangxi should have crossed Jiashan Mountain and arrived at Dawei, crossed Jiajin Mountain and arrived at Dawei, and joined forces with the Red Fourth Front Army. Jiajin Mountain, Dawei, these two locations may not be clear to you, roughly In the northwestern part of Sichuan, where Tibet and Sichuan meet, the land is sparsely populated and the air is thin, so it is not suitable for a large army to station for a long time."

Huang Ke thought about it, but he didn't tell what was happening at this time, Zhang Guotao took advantage of the army to split himself up. On the one hand, the explanation was unclear, and on the other hand, Pastor Dong's status was not suitable for knowing too many of his secrets.

"The current Red Army is short of medicines, bullets, and almost all supplies. I have a way to send hundreds of tons of supplies within a month."

As Huang Ke spoke, he guided Pastor Dong to point the binoculars in the direction of the dock warehouse.

"There are a lot of supplies stored in the foreigner's warehouse here. I have a way to take away hundreds of tons directly—the supplies I most want to take away at the moment are guns and ammunition, and the second is high-calorie and high-nutrition food. Foreign milk powder and other food supplies, as well as medicines...Pastor Dong, you have a lot of contacts, do you have any friends at the docks, please provide us with information on the stock in the warehouse... "

"In this case, I can't answer you for the time being..."

"Understood. After all, my identity is unknown, and the disciplinary requirements for doing underground intelligence work are very strict... You must discuss it with other comrades. No matter what the result is, you'd better reply me as soon as possible. There is not much time left. Let me share with you another news. In order to get more money, Elena is also preparing to rob the gambling car of the Shanghai Jockey Club with me. This time, she asked Jin Rong's The real purpose of the daughter-in-law's wanting a horse is to put the horse in foster care at the Jockey Club, take the opportunity to get close to it, collect information about the Jockey Club, and facilitate the next step. After all, it is very difficult to feed more and more orphans. It costs money."

Huang Ke took the initiative to further reveal his cards.Speaking of this level, it is almost the same, and the rest depends on Pastor Dong's own reaction.

When returning with Pastor Dong, Huang Ke sighed in his heart:

"With me in another time and space, I don't know when we will resume contact..."

After returning to the residence, Pastor Dong immediately pulled Old Shen to close the door to discuss the current "emergency".

Since losing contact with the higher-ups of the organization, all the members of the underground party on Pastor Dong's line are no more than a dozen people - including family members, there are no more than 20 people.Probing Huang Ke was not a whim by Pastor Dong, but the result of discussions between Lao Shen and him.

"Old Dong, what kind of people do you think they are?"

"Miss Elena, according to my observations during this period of time, she really seems to have been stimulated by something, and she has a strong sense of autism. But when it comes to adopting orphans and abandoned children, the kindness and love she showed when she took care of those children It's completely true...I can see her behavior and words and deeds, she has received a very standardized Western-style education, although I can't tell which country she is from, but the temperament and behavior of her body give me the feeling that she His background is absolutely extraordinary!"

Old Shen said: "I also agree with you on this point, but it's really weird for a foreigner to speak Chinese so well, and still have a bit of Tianjin dialect."

On Pastor Dong's line, Lao Shen's underground party qualifications are even older than him. Not only is he older than him in the party, but he has also participated in the labor movement in Shanghai.Reverend Dong's contacts are mostly in the upper middle class in Shanghai, while Lao Shen has "many friends" in the "lower class".

After Huang Ke came to this era, what he needed most were these "connections".It will be exhausting to be respectful in everything. Finding qualified comrades-in-arms, assistants, and partners is the most important thing.

"Although the newspapers are full of nonsense all day long, in the past year, the domestic revolutionary trend..."

Pastor Dong sighed as he looked at the "bandit suppression" news published in Ta Kung Pao on the table.The fifth anti-encirclement campaign failed, the Red Army was forced to march, the red base areas in various places were shrinking under the encirclement and suppression by the reactionaries, and they were forced to give up, and the underground organizations in various places were constantly being destroyed. Now it is the "great low tide period" of the red revolution. The pastor can't see it.In fact, he is also extremely worried about the safety of the Red Army team that is moving from northwestern Sichuan to Shaanxi and Gansu.

"According to what he said, he needs information on the inventory of materials in the warehouses of various foreign wharves in the Shanghai Concession Area. As long as we provide this information, he will have a way to "take it without buying" to take away the materials, and then support that The Red Army on the side. According to him, after he contacts the Central (Red Army) Central Red Army, he will bring back the contact person from them so that we can get in touch with the organization again.”

Psychologically, Pastor Dong has actually approved Huang Ke's request: Huang Ke's request is just some seemingly ordinary dock warehouse information, and there are not many secrets involved in the organization.The "Old Shen" in front of him was active in the Shanghai workers' circle in his early years, and he has a wide network of contacts in this area.

Old Shen said seriously:

"After April [-], the labor movement organized in Shanghai suffered great damage. Especially in the past two years, there have been a lot of secret agents from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sneaking into the workers. If we want to launch any movement, it is very difficult It’s easy to expose yourself. However, if you just want to obtain information on the dock warehouse, it’s not a big problem.”

"Oh......."

Old Shen said in a deep voice: "The wharf in Shanghai, the coolies at the bottom, those who have influence on them are partly the forces of the Green Gang, partly the remnants of the organization, and the third part is the members of the Axe Gang."

"Wang Yaqiao? His assassination of Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen has been exposed. In the past two years, the secret agents of the Central Committee and the Blue Shirts Society have been hunting him down. It is reported that he has fled to Hong Kong now, and the influence of the Ax Gang in Shanghai has also plummeted." .”

"It has plummeted, but people are still there. The few docks on the Bund, those low-level personnel, are still working there as porters and coolies for a living, loading and unloading goods every day. In fact, they know what is in the warehouse best. He said he has The way to get the goods in the warehouse directly—is it planning to rob the truck like Wang Yaqiao did back then?"

What Lao Shen said about Wang Yaqiao’s robbery of the truck was referring to the [-] Incident a few years ago, when the [-]th Route Army was fighting in Shanghai, and the bald-headed Chang Kaishen’s anti-Japanese troops deliberately stopped sending out firearms and ammunition supplies to slow down the situation. thing.The Nineteenth Route Army, which was fighting against the Japanese invaders back then, could not get supplementary ordnance from the rear. During this period, Chang Kaishen even ordered the Jinling Arsenal in Shanghai to transfer all the firearms that had just been manufactured to the Nineteenth Route Army.

Wang Yaqiao was very angry when he learned of this, and then organized his subordinates to rob the munitions and send them to the [-]th Route Army-there were [-] guns alone at that time.

Wang Yaqiao did many major things in his short life, the most famous ones, such as assassinating Wang Jingwei and severely wounding him, killing Japanese general Shirakawa Yoshinori, and organizing death squads to attack the Japanese ship "Izumo".
