Chapter 1 Mystery (Three Trips)

"I am negligent in my post, so I ask the Chairman to punish me." Hearing the faint complaint in Chiang Kai-shek's words, Mao Renfeng and Ye Xiufeng were shocked and quickly stood up and asked for punishment.

"Sit down, sit down, I'm not complaining about you, and this matter is not blamed on you two." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and ordered the two of them not to be too sensitive. "Since the war started, the Military Commission has sent no one thousand guerrillas behind enemy lines, and there are eight hundred. If you report to me for the movements of each team, I, as the chairman, don't have to do anything else. Just listening to the report every day, will be exhausted to death."

"That's right, that's right, the chairman is busy with everything, and he really doesn't have much time to pay attention to these small things."

"It should be reported early. But Beizhi always wants to make things clearer so as not to waste your time as principal, so he delays it again and again. After Beizhi returns, he re-develops a charter, and the information processing process within the General Bureau of the Military Affairs Bureau will be more standardized. In the future, he will first determine the priorities and then determine the reporting time based on its importance."

Ye Xiufeng and Mao Renfeng, two stones hanging in their throats, finally fell back into their stomachs, smiled and responded loudly, but the focus of the two responded was very different. Ye Xiufeng mainly wanted to clear his responsibilities, but Mao Renfeng was able to learn from one thing, and to deal with the shortcomings in one thing, think of how to improve the intelligence operation process of the entire Military Control Commission.

As Mao Renfeng's principal and fellow Zhejiang, Chiang Kai-shek had a little closeness to this Huangpu student. Seeing that the other party was so clever, he felt more favorable to him. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "That is the matter within your Military Bureau. I will not interfere. I will only look at the result of your adjustment. At present, Gui Yan is so busy that he can't get out of his way. Yunong has focused his main energy on the intelligence war with the Japanese. Within the Military Bureau, You and several other backbones must be brave enough to do things, and don’t be afraid of making mistakes. No one is born a saint. Even a saint cannot guarantee that he will be 100% correct in his work. If he makes trouble, he will be responsible for this big brother Guiyan. If He Guiyan cannot take responsibility, and I, Mr. Jiang, are born to stand up and do things. Don’t learn from some people. The ability to sit down and discuss things is first-class. If he really wants him to do practical things, he will only help you.” (Note 1)

After hearing the principal's heart-wrenching words, Mao Renfeng was so excited that his eyes were sore. He stood up again, saluted Chiang Kai-shek silently, and then returned to the sofa, with his waist straighter than the telephone pole in front of the National Government office building.

Ye Xiufeng felt envious and jealous, but he knew that he was not as good as Mao Renfeng in terms of being foolish and being happy with the chairman. He thought for a moment and whispered beside him: "Bei Zhi has dragged on reporting the news that he has never grasped, and has also accumulated a comprehensive summary so that the chairman can save some time. Now it seems that Bei Zhi's previous thoughts are indeed a bit reckless, but Bei Zhi guarantees that this is the first time. In the future, the Central Commission for Discipline will make major adjustments to the entire operating mechanism and will never let the same mistake happen again."

"It's not a mistake. After all, it's just a small local victory. It shouldn't have involved too much energy." Chiang Kai-shek turned his gaze back from Mao Renfeng and nodded slightly at Ye Xiufeng.

The intelligence work was undertaken by the Military Commission and the Central Commission for Administration respectively. His original intention was to let the two departments compete with each other and promote each other. Judging from the performance of Mao Renfeng and Ye Xiufeng today, this strategy of avoiding one's dominance is still very effective. At least, Mao and Ye felt the pressure brought by their competitors, and were both actively showing off, not giving in to each other, rather than colluding with each other and joining forces to fool him, the manager of the National Government.

He patiently comforted the two rising stars, and Chiang Kai-shek once again brought the topic back to today's topic, "I have never been willing to believe the words in the newspaper. There are too many things that catch the wind and shadows in it, and there are too many things that promote for others with benefits. There are also some so-called reporters who use the guise of freedom of speech to turn black and white, make up for it, and make up for it, just trying to make one word not shocking, which makes me very disgusted. Therefore, compared to the things in the newspaper, I would rather believe the first-hand information I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, although these information may be far less exciting than the ones written in the newspaper."

"The Chairman said it very well." Before Mao Renfeng was accidentally taken over by the top spot, Ye Xiufeng was eager to move back. Before Chiang Kai-shek turned his attention to him, he took the initiative to agree, "The so-called freedom of speech requires all members of society to become mature and rational. If this premise cannot be guaranteed, the result will be rumors flying everywhere. It is better to restrict them to avoid letting the enemy take advantage of loopholes."

This sentence is very consistent with the current actual situation. Even for competitors, Mao Renfeng nodded secretly. Due to the loss of nearly two-thirds of the country in a short period of time, newspapers and magazines distributed throughout the country have now almost all flooded into Sichuan. In order to compete for readers, or to have ulterior motives behind them, these newspapers like to pretend to be amazing, storm and talk nonsense, and even some people simply take the initiative to sing with the Japanese side, saying that China and Japan are friendly and goodwill should be stopped as soon as possible and work together to build East Asia, etc., as if the bloody massacres have never happened in the past year.

To solve the current confusing viewpoints in the newspapers, it is very difficult for the National Government. The punishment is lighter and there is no effect of punishment. The punishment is slightly heavier. Not only will the Communist Party accuse the government of infringing on freedom of speech, but the British and American friends of the government will also jump out and interfere. However, the National Government is still inseparable from the support of the Communists and British and American friends. The former involves the image and credibility of the government. As for the latter, although the supplies imported by British and American friends have never been free lunch, even if several major arsenals were taken away by the Japanese invaders, if the support of British and American friends is lost, the National Revolutionary Army will have to fight the Japanese devils with empty hands.

"Take the resurrection of Heishi Village this time as an example." Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Renfeng and He Yaozu and the other two showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, Ye Xiufeng was secretly proud and took a more proactive attitude towards the topic of the conversation. "In a remote place outside the border, the restoration of a small county, the restoration of a small county, is insignificant compared to the bloody battles that occur in Changsha and Yueyang every day. But the newspapers are so hot that they are endless. It would be strange if there is no one behind them. Bei Zhi sent people to check these days, and the two newspapers that shouted the most were in interest with Hengfa Grain Industry. The major shareholder of Hengfa Grain Industry is also surnamed Peng. He is from the same clan as the young talent who resurrected Heishi Village in our Military Affairs Bureau. Maybe it's a family."

"There are so many people in the world who have surnamed Peng. How do you know that they are a family?" Mao Renfeng instinctively refuted the matter when he heard Ye Xiufeng pull the problem to the Military Bureau. But suddenly thought of the previous sentence that his elder brother He Yaozu reminded him, "The old man asked for a cup of grape brew at noon today." The second half of the sentence immediately became a protection for his brothers under his command. "Even if they are just a family, doing so cannot be considered out of order. After all, Comrade Peng Xuewen made real contributions. As parents, who has seen his own children promising and doesn't like to brag about it in front of others."

In front of the chairman, Ye Xiufeng was reluctant to let Mao Renfeng change his concepts succeed. He immediately sneered and said, "The problem is that his family is just bragging for his children, but they have not considered the impact on the overall situation at all. Many people have begun to attack the government and asked why we did not send more guerrillas to the enemy's back. Some people have concluded that the Japanese invaders are very weak and the previous performance of the National Revolutionary Army was poor because the government's improper selection of generals and lack of logistics support."

Mao Renfeng's impression was that there was no such figure as Peng Xuewen, but in order to safeguard the interests of the Military Affairs Bureau and to show Principal Jiang his attitude towards the restoration of Heishi Village, he stood up indignantly, waved his arms and shouted: "According to what you said, is Peng Xuewen still wrong after winning the battle? He is not allowed to boast about winning the battle. Those who have lost the battle committed suicide by committing suicide by separatism or holding a press conference saying that he is still honored even if he is defeated, those..."

"Qi Wu, the attitude and place of speaking in the phonetic voice." He Yaozu spoke in time and cut off Mao Renfeng's roar.

"I am just dissatisfied with their Central Command's perspective on the problem." Mao Renfeng put down his arm and apologized to the other two with red eyes. "Director, principal, please forgive the subordinates' incompetence. Our Military Control Commission, so many brothers in our Military Control Commission fought desperately behind enemy lines for a year. Most of them died silently without having time to make achievements. Finally, a Peng Xuewen was born, leading the lonely army deep into the enemy's back. A county town was restored without food and grass, and it was also necessary to be brought back from behind..."

Speaking of the emotional part, he couldn't help but think of the grassroots cadres of the Military Control Bureau who were killed in the battlefield behind enemy lines, and tears fell down his cheeks.

Ye Xiufeng never thought that Mao Renfeng could act so well. He cried when he said he could not do any preparation before, but no matter whether the other party was acting or really moved, those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country were not allowed to insult casually. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should continue to be entangled in the issue of the Peng family using public opinion to build momentum for his nephew. He stood on the sofa for a long time before stammering: "I, I'm not what you meant. The Central Commission for the Central Commission for the Central Commission for the Central Commission for the purpose of the Peng family using public opinion. The Central Commission for the Central Commission for the actual situation has been working hard to explore..."

"Okay." Chiang Kai-shek himself was very dissatisfied with Ye Xiufeng's behavior of taking advantage of the issue just now. He frowned and interrupted in a deep voice, "I asked you two to come to understand the situation, not to listen to you two attacks each other. How the Peng family uses the media to build momentum for their own nephews. That is the matter of the Peng family. It cannot be involved in the little guys thousands of miles away. You two are just talking about things. Don't add too much to your subjective judgment. I just want the facts, the cleaner the better."
