Chapter 4 Brothers (Three Scores)

In one sentence, Mao Renfeng admired him so much that he admired him.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was secretly called an old man by his subordinates, disciples and juniors, often worked until late at night, but rarely called others to his home to discuss and solve the problem at night, unless he encountered an urgent situation, or if the other party had a very close relationship with his whole family, he was so close that he could push the door and go in.

However, He Guiyan didn't even need to make an appointment, so he could bring Mao Renfeng to visit. It can be seen that his status in the old man's mind is extraordinary. No wonder Deputy Director Dai could have been able to straighten him long ago, but he insisted on pulling him as a tablet. This is a lightning rod and a security cover. Except for the Military Affairs Bureau, no other units can invite him to the company.

With sincere admiration for his general, Mao Renfeng stopped all the work and focused on how to report to the old man at night, what words can be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, what words can't be said, but no matter what, he must be said to himself, it is harmless to the Military Control Bureau, how to avoid good fortune, how to take the opportunity to act, how to attack competitors, all of these are all a great knowledge, and if done well, it will not be difficult to reach the top in the future. If it is not done well, it may be unknown for a lifetime in the future, and even if it is doomed, danger and challenges coexist, opportunities and traps accompany him, and he couldn't help but treat them with one hundred and twenty.

When all the ideas were straightened out and the practice was skillful in the heart, the sky began to turn dark. Mao Renfeng looked up at the wall clock on the wall, packed up his outfit and the documents he had to carry with him tonight, and quickly walked down the office building.

The food was called casually in the cafeteria. After a few chopsticks, he immediately took the guards and drivers to the road. Some time ago, the National Revolutionary Army performed quite well on the battlefield. Although it could not fight like the Taierzhuang victory, it also exhausted the Japanese devils' army. In a furious manner, the devils once again increased the bombing of Chongqing. Therefore, the car headlights at night became an excellent target for the Japanese pilots. Therefore, Mao Renfeng's car had to take advantage of the fact that the sky was not so dark that it could not see the road clearly, and rushed to the old man's Huangshan official residence, and stood in the biting cold wind for an hour or two, and could not lead the devils' bomber to the old man's doorstep.

In order to avoid enemy plane bombing, the inside of the Huangshan official residence was decorated with thick double curtains, and no light was shining outside. Standing at the door of the official residence, the entire building complex opposite looked like an unmanned castle in the fairy tale world. Maybe when a ghost could emerge from the garden!

The murder reached the point where he could be the steward of the Military Control Commission. Mao Renfeng would certainly not be afraid of any ghosts anymore. However, the long waiting process made him feel a little bored. Just as he was thinking about whether to take the guard around and walk around casually, he suddenly heard a sound of engines in his ears. A black iron guy came out from under the mottled tree shadows and braked in front of him with a "crunch". Then, the car door was pushed open from inside, and two spies in suits helped Ye Xiufeng, deputy director of the Central Bureau of Administration, from the back seat.

"Whose belt is not tied tightly, revealing this thing." Mao Renfeng frowned and secretly complained in her stomach.

Ye Xiufeng obviously saw Mao Renfeng, and reached out and gently pushed the golden glasses on the bridge of the nose, and greeted him with smug expression, "Oh, isn't this Deputy Director Mao? Why did you meet you again? The Chairman summoned you? Or do you come to him and ask him if you have something to do,"

"Oh, our director wants to report to the chairman in person and ask me to bring him some documents." Mao Renfeng seemed to have not heard the sub-word spoken in the aggravated voice, and smiled very caringly, and answered neither humble nor arrogantly.

"Ah, that's right, your director is really taking care of you." Ye Xiufeng said sourly after taking a stingy nail. He is also the boss, Director Chen is not as concerned about his subordinates as Director He. Otherwise, the Central Bureau of Administration would not have been as far away as he is now, and he was in all aspects of the Military Bureau.

"Of course, Director He doesn't take care of us subordinates who are working hard, who can we take care of," Mao Renfeng immediately felt a sense of pleasure in his heart. In just a few more than ten seconds, he had already figured out why Ye Xiufeng, the deputy director of the Central Commission for Administration of China, appeared at the door of the presidential residence tonight. The matter of Princess Siqin's attempt to transfer to Chongqing to accept the enthronement of the central government must have been exposed to the old man. The old man was not satisfied with the slow movement of the Military Control Bureau, so he specially called Ye Xiufeng, the deputy director of the Central Commission for Administration of China, to the front of him when he listened to Director He and his two reports on his work. On the one hand, he could use Ye Xiufeng to knock on Director He and himself, and on the other hand, he could also listen to the information of the two departments of the Central Commission for Administration of China and the Military Control Bureau at the same time to avoid being deliberately fooled by any one.

This is a standard imperial technique. No matter how old man trusts Director He, he will not exclude him. With deep sympathy for his own director, Mao Renfeng continued to urge his lips and tongue and began to attack Ye Xiufeng with all his strength: "Deputy Director Ye has a good look recently. It is said that he has been designated as the first successor by Director Chen. This is really not easy. You Central Bureau of the Central Bureau has always been full of talents, and it is difficult for mediocre people to make up for the numbers. Deputy Director Ye must have made a lot of efforts to get to this point."

"It was Director Chen who cultivated it, and it was Director Chen who cultivated it." Ye Xiufeng did not want to deny that he had the opportunity to be upright, nor did he admit that he was just a mess. He only rose to prominence by using evil ways, and responded vaguely with a dark face.

"If you want to say that you Director Chen is working hard, you will never leave any room for the other party when you run into someone. "Not only will you reach this point, thanks to him, even if our Military Affairs Bureau has received a lot of guidance from him back then, it would be great if the Central Bureau and the Military Affairs Bureau merged into one again one day. Whether you Director Chen is in charge of the work or we Director He is in charge of the work, the two departments will be able to operate smoothly. Those sluts will never have the opportunity to create conflicts between the two departments from now on. Deputy Director Ye, do you think this is the case?"

"Yes, yes, Deputy Director Mao said it very well." Deputy Director Ye was obviously sure to win tonight, so he didn't have the heart to focus on unnecessary verbal disputes. Seeing that he could not say anything about Mao Renfeng, he simply started practicing an iron cloth shirt and let Mao Renfeng provoke or run, and no longer fight back.

However, Mao Renfeng couldn't show off his long time. After only a short while, He Guiyan's very distinctive luxury car arrived. The general still drove by himself, neither the driver nor the guard. After jumping out of the car, he looked at Mao Renfeng first, then looked at Ye Xiufeng with a full face, smiled, and walked quickly to the door, "Everyone come in with me, there should be a wave of guests in front of him, and the three of us should be waiting in the small living room last time."

"Yes." Ye Xiufeng was hostile to the Military Control Bureau, and did not dare to express his true feelings in front of He Guiyan. He agreed and followed quickly. Mao Renfeng stood there and thought for a while, and arranged his own guard to protect Director He's special car, so he followed the two of them slowly. He was still the small living room when he was waiting for the meeting last time. The chairman's wife still brought coffee in his hand. The mentality of the three guests on the seat was very different from last time. Their words and deeds also showed their own different styles, either being restrained by tension, being ostentatious because of complacent, or mechanically maintaining superficial politeness because of fatigue.

In order to accompany her husband in Chongqing for many days, she risked being killed by a Japanese plane, Soong Mei-ling's face was full of fatigue. After chatting with He Guiyan for a few casual words, she found an excuse to retreat. The atmosphere in the living room immediately became a little subtle, and there was even a little depression. He Guiyan and Mao Renfeng were both wearing Ye Xiufeng, one left and one right, and refused to speak first. The expression on her face was so interesting.

"Yao, Yao Gong." It was cold, and Ye Xiufeng's back became colder. He slowly bent down and asked He Guiyan with a smile, "Yao Gong is in good health recently. Winter is here. The rain in Chongqing is too bad."

"Yes, the ancients said that when the sun rises in Shu, dogs bark. That's probably what it means," He Guiyan replied very appropriately, with an easy-going smile on his face, which made Ye Xiufeng feel even more embarrassed.

This sentence comes from Liu Zongyuan's "Answer to Wei Zhongli's Book of Teachers and Taoism" by Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty. It is very consistent with the fact that the continuous rainy winter in Chongqing is in a state of continuous winter. However, in Ye Xiufeng, who is known as a master of Chinese and Western learning, it seems to be mocking him for his short-sightedness and screaming at the level that he is not qualified to touch. However, Ye Xiufeng did not have the courage to retort He Guiyan, and he was so tight that he was short of breath and panting.

"Director Ye has a cold." He Guiyan, the general director of the Military Commission, did not intend to get along with the younger generation. Seeing Ye Xiufeng's cheeks were red and his breathing was heavy, he thought there was something wrong with his body, so he frowned and asked with concern.

"Well, well, my nose has been a little blocked lately. You always know that Chongqing's hygiene situation has never been very good." Ye Xiufeng was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he responded with the impulse to fight against He Guiyan.

"Then you have to be careful." He Guiyan smiled slightly and continued, "Drink more boiled water, and rest in bed when you should rest. Don't stick to work while you are sick. Although a cold is not a serious illness, it will still be fatal if it is severe, especially it is easy to cause heart problems. Once it occurs, it will be very troublesome to treat it."

"Deputy Director Ye is a pillar of the party and the country. How dare you lie down and rest? Isn't there an old saying, 'Do your whole life and die until you die'. In my opinion, even if Deputy Director Ye cannot reach it, his level is not much different, haha." Mao Renfeng, deputy secretary of the Military Affairs Bureau, did not have the kind of cultivation like He Guiyan, immediately took over the conversation and sneered and ridiculed him.

The two brothers teased Ye Xiufeng, but they were so anxious that they were in a state of turmoil that they suddenly heard a low cough from the door. Then, the owner, the "old man" in the mouth of his subordinates, Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Military Commission of the Republic of China, walked in with a smile.

"Mr. Jie." "Principal." "Chairman." The three guests immediately packed up their firepower and stood up to say hello to Chiang Kai-shek.

"Sit down, sit down. Since you are here at home, why are you still doing so solemnly?" Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand angrily, ordered the three guests to sit down, then looked at Ye Xiufeng, and asked with a smile: "Why, you are sick? If you had known you were sick, I would have let you rest at home. I shouldn't have to mess with you at night."

"It's okay, it's okay." Ye Xiufeng immediately jumped up from the sofa and explained loudly, "I'm not bad at all, I'm just blown by the cold wind, my nose was a little blocked, it's really okay at all."

"Oh." Chiang Kai-shek nodded, stretched out his hand again, and reached out to Ye Xiufeng's forehead. "I touch it, well, it's not very hot, it shouldn't be a big problem, but don't take it lightly. I'll help you find a suitable doctor, don't delay it."

With these words, Ye Xiufeng felt that even if he died immediately, it would be worth it. He lowered his head and choked up and said, "Thank you for your concern, I am humble. I am humble. I will definitely remember your teachings. I will never delay my work because of illness."

"You can let others do their job first, and people are the most important." Chiang Kai-shek patted his shoulder boldly, and shouted, then quickly turned his eyes to He Guiyan, "What's going on with that Mongolian princess? If it weren't for the Communist Party's struggle too hard, I still don't know that she actually wanted to come to Chongqing."

"This matter is a bit complicated." He Guiyan straightened his body from the sofa and explained with a smile, "Or it was a bit sudden. Our Military Commission originally planned to make a clue first and then report to the Chairman, and say more specifically."

"It's the Military Control Bureau that makes things too complicated." As a subordinate, he must always be aware of taking the blame for his superiors. On this point, Mao Renfeng has always done an authentic job. "On about a week ago, our Military Control Bureau received a request from the newly established Chasui Branch Station. However, Lenovo is of great importance. We are planning to straighten out each step and arrange it safely. Director He will report good news to the principal in person. After all, from Wuyuan to Chongqing, there is a large area of ​​enemy-occupied areas. If any mistakes occur along the way, the safety of the Mongolian princess will be affected, and other Mongolian princes who are wandering and waiting in the Chahar area will misunderstand the sincerity of the central government."

Chiang Kai-shek was not so confused, and he was easily confused by He Guiyan and Mao Renfeng, but he didn't want to let He Guiyan get out of Taiwan in front of his subordinates. He smiled and continued to ask: "I'm too anxious to say so."

"It is her blessing for the principal to take care of Queen Siqin's visit to Chongqing in her busy schedule." Mao Renfeng took the conversation again and made a loud statement.

"Since King De blatantly declared autonomy with the support of the Japanese, she was the first to take the initiative to move closer to the Mongolian nobles to the central government. Therefore, the Military Affairs Bureau should pay more attention to this." Although He Guiyan could not bear to flatter Mao Renfeng, he also knew how to go down the road. He smiled and continued: "After receiving her request from Chongqing, the Military Commission immediately began to coordinate the forces of all parties, and prepared a total of three land passages and an air passage for her. The number of units along the way had basically been coordinated. Only when the Chairman gave the order, he could take unified action."

"Oh." Although he was still a little confused, Chiang Kai-shek had to praise He Guiyan's ability to fill holes. He thought about it and whispered, "Which channel is there, let me listen first."

"Please look, Chairman." He Guiyan was very prepared and took out a thick document from his briefcase and showed it to Chiang Kai-shek page by page. "The first passage is from Wuyuan, passing through Yulin, Xing'an, Hanzhong, and then passing through Chongqing. All the Japanese forces are not yet able to reach. They are relatively safe, but the road conditions are not very good, and they may encounter bandits along the way, and they also need to bear a favor from Yan'an, who are responsible for escorting the sections of roads in Shaanxi."

"The Communist Party is eager to show its existence. You are giving them timely help!" Chiang Kai-shek glanced at He Guiyan and frowned and commented.

"There are also their proposals to send Siqin to Chongqing, so I didn't want to avoid them anymore." He Guiyan thought for a while and added in a low voice, "But if the Chairman felt that this route was too far, the Military Commission had prepared two more, one of which was secretly entering Shanxi from Panguan, and then under the protection of the Jin army, the commander Yan of the Second War Zone had agreed, and General Wei Lihuang had also made relevant preparations."

"Yes." Chiang Kai-shek refused to comment, "Where is the third channel, let's talk about the third one."

"The third article is the most convenient, but it involves more brother units. Basically, it crosses the Yellow River directly from near Suiyuan. Then General Wei Lihuang sent troops to Shuoping to meet him, escorting all the way to Ruzhou, and then from Zhang Zhi's central part to Huangchuan, picking up Siqin and others and escorting him to Changde, and then escorting him into Sichuan by Wang Yao's military unit. Other brother units along the way were also feinted in Zhongtiao Mountain, Taihang Mountain and southern Shanxi, confusing the Japanese army's judgment."

In this plan, except for Zhang Zizhong's troops, all the Central Army were used, which was obviously the best for Chiang Kai-shek's wishes. However, in order to take over a mere Mongolian female princess, it was a bit wasteful to use so many troops and war resources. Moreover, Siqin was only the first Mongolian nobleman to vote. If there are other people who take her as a role model in the future, the central government's response standards are not easy to refer to.

Thinking of long-term investment, Chiang Kai-shek frowned again and asked in a low voice, "Where is the Air Force? Is the Air Force more convenient?"

"The Air Force is indeed much faster." Based on the principle of saving time and effort, He Guiyan is more inclined to call the Air Force, "but it is very likely to be intercepted by Japanese fighter jets on the way. In addition, the north is in late winter recently, and there are often snowstorms, so the safety of the aircraft is difficult to guarantee."

"This is, our air force is too weak right now." Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, his expression on his face was a little desolate, unlike those old guys who didn't know anything about emerging technologies. As early as the early 20th year of the Republic of China, he began to care about the development of the air force and air weapons. Therefore, he knew the danger of sailing in cold weather and also understood the terrible probability of air accidents. Especially the weak Chinese Air Force, whether fighters, transport aircraft, or pilots, there was a certain gap between the international highest level, and the probability of accidents was even greater. It was difficult to ensure that Siqin was sent to Chongqing alive.

"The student has a suggestion." Hearing the regret in Chiang Kai-shek's speech, Mao Renfeng took the initiative to share the worries of his principal. "We can use the Soviet diplomatic plane to send Ms. Siqin from Fu Zuoyi's side. Even if the Japanese air force is rampant, they dare not attack the Soviet diplomats rashly at present."

"Soviet ambassador's plane, has the Soviet ambassador returned to China to report his duties recently?" Chiang Kai-shek was slightly stunned and asked in surprise.

"No, but the Soviets are busy doing domestic construction and do not want Japan to free up their hands from the Chinese battlefield to spy on his Siberian area." After all, they are the stewards of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Mao Renfeng has a wide international vision. In a few words, Chiang Kai-shek's confusion was solved. "If we make a request and send a delegation to the Soviet Union for a friendly visit, they will definitely not refuse. The plane returns from the Soviet Union and pick up a few people on the way to Wuyuan, which should be a matter of raising hands."

"Didn't the Soviets always want us to purchase their rifles and artillery? Although their weapons are not as accurate as those of British and American products, their weapons prices are much cheaper than those of Americans and British, and they can also negotiate more favorable terms in terms of loan conditions." As the general director of the Military Commission, He Guiyan was also well aware of the current internal and diplomatic situation of the National Government. After thinking about it, he whispered to supplement Mao Renfeng.

"The upper class of the Soviet Union is not optimistic about the development of the CCP at present." Mao Renfeng thought for a while and added another one.

"The Soviets want to use weapons trade to expand their influence on neighboring countries and take the opportunity to seize the traditional markets of the United States and Britain. If we take the initiative to talk to them, I believe they dare not take the opportunity to make any excessive demands for the CCP." He Guiyan analyzed in detail the possibility of secret cooperation with the Soviets from another perspective.

The two brothers cooperated tacitly and turned a remedial report into a performance of the Military Affairs Bureau's work ability. This was so anxious that Ye Xiufeng, who was preparing to watch jokes, scrambled for a long time, but didn't know how to interrupt it. He simply made up his mind and said loudly: "Report to Chairman, I am against this proposal."

"Oh." Seeing Ye Xiufeng's anxious face, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly remembered that he wanted to teach the Military Affairs Bureau a lesson tonight. He smiled and said with a bit of encouragement, "Then tell me, what other plans can make the Mongolian princess arrive in Chongqing safely and smoothly."

"I, I" Ye Xiufeng immediately stuttered, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. In terms of sabotage, his ability is indeed not inferior to any of Mao Renfeng and He Guiyan, but he is not his strength in making constructive opinions. After racking his brains, he finally responded loudly before Chiang Kai-shek showed disappointment, "The Soviets' aviation technology is far less than that of the United States, and even worse than that of the United Kingdom. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Bei Zhi suggested that the American diplomatic plane fly to Wuyuan and take Princess Siqin to Chongqing!"

"What is the reason? What reason should I ask for help from Americans or British people?" Chiang Kai-shek forced himself to suppress his disappointment and asked with a smile.

"Please, please try your best to coordinate. It should be able to move them." Ye Xiufeng swallowed hard and spitted, and his voice gradually lowered.

At present, Americans and British people are very dissatisfied with the Japanese's expansion in Asia, but they are far from developing to the point of fighting each other. With the natural profit-seeking personality of Americans and British people, they will not easily offend Japan for China. Although they have always verbally expressed their willingness to uphold justice for China and sell their weapons and products to China in large quantities, (Note 1)

Obviously, He Guiyan and Mao Renfeng, who were present, both knew the United States and Britain's current attitude towards the Sino-Japanese War, so no one took Ye Xiufeng's proposal seriously. Instead, they looked at him with a smile, with sympathy in their eyes. Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek still remembered the purpose of calling Ye Xiufeng to the official residence tonight. He was unwilling to continue watching him show his misfortune. He waved his hand and announced the end of this topic, "Which channel should be used, the Military Commission will decide for themselves. My personal tendency is to use air power, but we must also consider the current weather conditions and our own actual transportation capabilities."

"Yes." He Guiyan, Mao Renfeng and Ye Xiufeng were all relieved and responded loudly.

The power of heaven is unpredictable. This sentence is actually correct. It is an honor and an adventure to be able to enter the presidential residence to report work in person to Chiang Kai-shek. Especially for He Guiyan and Mao Renfeng tonight, it is a difficult and lucky to be able to join forces to turn the old man's attention from the military bureau to the delay of work and how to mobilize all forces to escort Siqin safely. However, before the two of them could have time to wipe the sweat on their faces, they were unwilling to be Ye Xiufeng, who was worried about his competitors, had already attacked again. Jianfeng pointed directly at the Military Control Commission Chasui Branch. "Reporting to the Chairman of the Report, Bei Zhi believes that the scene should not be too grand when the government receives Princess Siqin, because according to the information obtained from the secret front of the Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China, Princess Siqin has always been the biggest behind-the-scenes funder of the local Communist Party guerrillas. The Stationmaster Peng of the Military Control Commission Chasui Branch was too proactive in cooperation with the Communist Party guerrillas in the early stage, which has misled Princess Siqin a lot."
