Li Zihan carefully considered the words and said, "Master, I don't know anything else. I only know that Commander Xu has not joined the Communist Party yet."

"Xu Shijiu has not joined the Communist Party. So what about Gao Shenxing, who is very trusted by him? Did Gao Shenxing join the Communist Party?" Gu Zhutong's expression suddenly became cold Jun, and then asked, "Also, why did I hear that Xu Shijiu asked the Communist Party for a lot of party members Gu Yu, who wanted to install political workers in various brigades, regiments, battalions and even companies under the 19th Detachment? Zihan, tell me the truth, is there such a thing?"

"When I go back to the chief executive, that's the case." Li Zihan could only agree with the slightest agreement. Xu Shijiu could not hide the fact that the Communist Party wanted people at all. How could Gu Zhutong, as the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, be aware of it?

Gu Zhutong said: "Before I set out to Longkou County, I thought that Xu Shijiu might have gone far on the road to communism, but I still didn't expect that he had gone so far. It would be a delusion to want him to change his mind, be loyal to the Party and the country, and be loyal to Chairman Jiang."

After pausing, Gu Zhutong continued sinisterly: "This means we can no longer have any fantasies about him."

"Master, what do you mean?" Li Zihan's expression changed slightly.

"I mean, Xu Shijiu can't stay anymore, and must be executed secretly." Gu Zhutong said in a deep voice, "There are also a large number of senior officers loyal to Xu Shijiu or tend to the Communist Party, including Gao Shenxing, Li Shuangqiu, Niu Sigen, etc. who are loyal to Xu Shijiu or tend to the Communist Party. They must also be executed together. Let you be responsible. Zihan, don't let me down."

"Master, this..." Li Zihan's face changed drastically and said in a lost voice, "Xu Shijiu has extremely high prestige in the minds of all the officers and soldiers of the 19th Detachment. Once he has a good fortune, it is very likely to cause a mutiny in the entire 19th Detachment. Even, it is not impossible for the 19th Detachment to be rebellious again to be a small Japanese. You must think twice, but you must think twice before doing anything."

"Zihan, the old saying is good. If you stop, you will suffer from chaos." Gu Zhu, "Xu Shijiu is extremely prestige among the officers and soldiers of the 19th Detachment. You, Li Zihan, are not bad at prestige. Zihan, don't underestimate yourself. I am very optimistic about you."

Li Zihan said in a low voice: "Master, can you let me think about this matter carefully?"

Gu Zhutong nodded and said, "Zihan, you have to hold on, I won't stay in Longkou for too long."

"Go away first." Li Zihan did not dare to stay for a long time, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye and left.

Watching Li Zihan leave, Gu Zhutong called the adjutant again and ordered him to find Wei Guoqiang, the captain of the Military Command's Special Movement Team.

Gu Zhutong originally planned to be the head of the Military Intelligence Station in Longkou, Ye Ruxue, but considering that Ye Ruxue had known Xu Shijiu and the news that the two had an affair, Gu Zhutong did not trust Ye Ruxue very much, and was more willing to find Wei Guoqiang to achieve his goal.

(Split Line)

Late at night that day, a top-secret telegram was submitted to Dai Li's desk by Mao Renfeng.

After reading the telegram, Dai Li frowned for a long time without saying anything, and he weighed the matter in his heart.

The telegram was sent by Wei Guoqiang, the captain of the Longkou Rangers, and it was sent by Ye Ruxue on his back. The reason why he wanted to carry Ye Ruxue on his back was because it involved a large amount of evidence from Xu Shijiu. Some of these evidences were already mastered by Chongqing, but more of them were the first time I heard that, such as Gao Shenxing had secretly joined the Communist Party, and Xu Shijiu had no doubt about his alienation from the National Government.

"Qi Wu, please evaluate it. If you take decisive measures against Xu Shijiu, how sure is there to be a success?" After a long silence, Dai Li finally made up his mind. The old saying goes, if you keep breaking down, you will suffer chaos. If Xu Shijiu is destined to return to the camp of the National Government, if Xu Shijiu is destined to turn to the Communist Party, then it would be a wise choice to resolve it as soon as possible.

Mao Renfeng pondered: "If the Rangers who rely solely on the Gu Guoqiang team will have less than the possibility of success. However, Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, is in Longkou County. In order to protect Gu Zhutong's personal safety, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Third Army has drawn a strengthening battalion from Yi County. In addition, Gu Zhutong's private guards, the three forces combined, and the determination to succeed is still very high."

Dai Li nodded and said, "Then you can evaluate again. If Xu Shijiu is executed, what kind of situation will happen in Longkou? The most important thing is whether there is a mutiny in the 19th branch of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui? He even rebels and surrenders to Japan again."

Mao Renfeng frowned and said, "Minister, this is not easy to judge, but I think it would be possible to execute Gao Shenxing, Li Shuangqiang and Niu, a group of senior officers loyal to Xu Shijiu or tend to the Communist Party, and then use Li Zihan's prestige to control the situation of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and Longkou County in southern Anhui."

"Okay, I understand this." Dai Li said, standing up and preparing to leave for Chairman Jiang's residence

The secret execution of Xu Shijiu was a matter that touched the whole body. No matter what, Xu Shijiu is now a member of the party. The Military Control Commission executed Xu Shijiu without asking for instructions. It would be fine if nothing happened. But in the end, even if Dai Li was Chairman Jiang’s confidant, he would probably not be able to take it.

Dai Li drove to Chairman Jiang's official residence, but Chairman Jiang was not there.

After Dai Li inquired, he found out that Chairman Jiang had gone to Yang Mansion to attend the cocktail party.

After the National Government moved to Chongqing, a large number of government officials, celebrities, wealthy businessmen and senior military officers from the Military Commission also moved to Chongqing.

The arrival of these government officials, celebrities and wealthy businessmen greatly stimulated the consumption level in Chongqing. Especially these government officials, celebrities and wealthy businessmen all like to talk about pomp. Even though the front line is dark, they are still living in the rear. Every night, so a deformed prosperity appears in the rear of Chongqing.

Chairman Jiang is a soldier and has a very self-disciplined lifestyle, but he must attend this cocktail party today.

Because the United States sent an inspection team to specifically investigate China's War of Resistance and see if the US government's economic aid was effectively utilized, the head of the US inspection team was also an old acquaintance of Chairman Chiang. He was the former military officer in China who had just been promoted from colonel to major general, Stilwell.

When Dai Li found Chairman Jiang, Stilwell was roaring at Chairman Jiang. As a pragmatic American, Stilwell always opposed extravagance and waste. Therefore, he was extremely angry at the National Government spending huge sums of money to hold such a welcome party for him, because by saving these funds, he could buy a large amount of weapons and equipment.

This batch of money can even purchase a large number of medicines, which can save thousands of veterans

Chairman Jiang wanted to flatter Stilwell, but he slapped the horse's leg and his face felt a little embarrassed.

Dai Li came here at this time, and Chairman Jiang vented his resentment on Dai Li's head: "Yunnong, what's the matter?"

Dai Li looked at Stilwell and wanted to speak but stopped. It was not a glorious thing to execute Xu Shijiu secretly, so it would be better not to let outsiders know about it.

It happened that Chairman Jiang was angry and asked unhappily: "I was hesitant, what's the matter? Nong Kuaigang."

Because I was really unhappy, Chairman Jiang even spoke slang.

Dai Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "The commissioner is about Xu Shijiu."

"Xu Shijiu?" Before Chairman Jiang could react, Stilwell was already screaming in stiff Chinese.

Stilwell has a very good memory. Until now, he still remembers four years ago when he witnessed the 19th Battalion of the Shanghai Police Corps attacking the Japanese army at the North Railway Station in Shanghai. He was very impressed by the strategy of building a roof ladder that the 19th Battalion came up with, and believed that the commander of the 19th Battalion was a genius tactician. After many inquiries, Stilwell learned that the commander of the 19th Battalion was named Xu Shijiu.

Because in the first stage of the Battle of Shanghai, Xu Shijiu's performance was amazing, and the name Xu Shijiu was really unique, Stilwell remembered it and has never forgotten it until today.

"Why, Stilwell chose to know Xu Shijiu?" Chairman Jiang asked with a gloomy face.
