The Bravest

After some deception, Lin Jie got Gangcun's approval and started recruiting people.

"Director Huang, let's get together. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Lin Jie called Huang Tianfu, who is now the deputy director of the Shanghai General Police Bureau.

"Director Lin, if you have something to say, just tell me! I'm very busy."

Huang Tianfu did not become the director of the branch bureau, but only held a deputy director of the general bureau in name only. He was always unhappy and thought that he was fooled by Lin Jie.

"Let's talk about it when we meet. Same rules, same place, five o'clock." Lin Jie said and hung up the phone.

In a hotel private room, Huang Tianfu, who was hung up by Lin Jie, showed up on time. Without the support of the French, he really couldn't do anything to Lin Jie.

"Brother Huang, you're late. This is not like you." Lin Jie greeted him with a smile.

"You're here too early. Why can't we talk on the phone? Why do we have to meet in person? This is the private room I booked. It's my money. Director Lin, can't you treat me once?"

Huang Tianfu was very dissatisfied with the stingy Lin Jie. He asked the other party to book a private room when he was meeting him? What kind of person is this?

"Hehe, this is not poverty! Don't care about these details. I have good news for you today!" Lin Jie was thick-skinned and didn't care about Huang Tianfu's complaints at all.

"Go ahead, I want to hear about your good deeds, Director Lin, but I may not be able to help you. After all, I am just an empty shell as the deputy director."

Huang Tianfu still didn't forget to complain. Maybe he really couldn't get along well in the General Administration.

"Old Huang, stop complaining. Seize this opportunity. Maybe you can have real power."

Lin Jie knew that he was resentful, but Kenji Doihara had been transferred away, so what could he do? Huang Tianfu had not been dismissed and was already a member of the Wang Puppet Government, so he gave face to Gangcun.

"What do you mean?" Huang Tianfu immediately became interested.

"I have informed Gangcun that we are going to join forces with a few people to clean up the black market and smuggling gangs in Shanghai. Needless to say, there are benefits! So I want to help you and let you join in."

"Fuck... Lin Jie, can you please stop being like this? I'm going to get angry if you always make me do something that offends others."

Huang Tianfu's face turned black with anger, and he pointed at Lin Jie and started cursing.

"Hey! Old Huang, calm down! Listen to me first. You are not doing this alone. I am working just like you. This is led by the Military Police Headquarters and Gangcun is in charge personally."

"Oh, who else is participating?" Huang Tianfu then sat down again.

"Liu Ziming, including you and me, it's Gangcun's side. The people in the Military Police Headquarters are still unclear. Gangcun will talk to us in person. Don't let the news leak out. If everyone knows, who will we investigate?"

"I understand. We agreed that I won't do it unless Gangcun shows up."

"Okay, if he doesn't show up, I won't dare to do it. Okay, you go first, Liu Ziming will be here soon."

"Lin Jie, do you still have any shame? I ordered the dishes when I came in. Now that we're done, you let me go and use my private room and the dishes I ordered to entertain others?"

"It's just a joke! I'm just a messenger. The next time we have a formal discussion, Gangcun will treat us. Old Liu will be here soon. Please help me say a few words. He's a timid person and I'm afraid he won't want to participate."

"He's timid? He's just scared by you. Let me tell you, if Gangcun doesn't show up, your words won't work."

Half an hour later, Liu Ziming arrived. After being persuaded by Lin Jie and Huang Tianfu, he agreed to participate. The conditions were the same as Huang Tianfu's, that Gangcun had to show up.

……

"Mr. Gangcun, I have made my decision and am waiting for you to show up." The next day, Lin Jie went to Gangcun to report and inquire about his progress.

"Mr. Lin, I understand. My report and plan have been submitted to the commander. Just wait, there will be news soon." Gangcun said confidently.

The expansionists were already worried about the negative attitude of the Wang Puppet Government. Gangcun, one of the earliest Japanese to come to Shanghai, had close relations with the Wang Puppet Government. Gangcun's willingness to take the lead was a gesture of goodwill to them. Regardless of whether it was effective or not, it was a good phenomenon and they were also looking forward to it.

"Then we'll just wait for good news from Gangcun-kun. I've already started the specific plan and intelligence gathering." Lin Jie knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, so after a few casual exchanges, he took the initiative to say goodbye.

While Lin Jie was discussing the plan with Huang Tianfu and Liu Ziming, he also told Liu Qingshan about it, and the two discussed the feasibility of the plan in detail.

"Xiao Jie, won't this offend too many people and make it difficult for you to move forward in the future? Why don't you discuss it with others?" Liu Qingshan paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

"Dad, the Japanese are here, I'm just the executor, and I'm not the only one doing it. Even if I offend them, it won't be a fight to the death. There are already many factions within the Wang Puppet Government, and this kind of sabotage happens every day. It's okay."

Lin Jie tried to sound as light-hearted as possible to reassure Liu Qingshan, but it was of no use. Liu Qingshan was just an old worker.

"Well, let's not talk about this. You have already started. You can only try to reduce your presence. Let the Japanese chew the hard bones. Anyway, it's not your turn to eat the big ones. Just pick the small ones and act quickly. Take the medicines and leave the rest to Gangcun. This way you can report to the task."

"Dad, don't worry, I know what's going on. If I really run into a big fish, I might kill the person to keep it secret. Just don't blame me for being too cruel."

"Okay, I'm not that stubborn. They are all a bunch of traitors. If they die, they die. There's no need to show mercy to them. If I wasn't doing this, I would have been on the battlefield long ago."

Liu Qingshan had been in the guerrillas before, and he was not a scholar who had never been to the battlefield. In addition, considering Haitang's mother's sacrifice, he would not show any mercy to the enemy.

"Dad, the Military Control Commission has actually been issuing orders all along. They are also short of medicines, and they may take action this time. I have always suspected that Liu Ziming from Zhabei is a member of the Military Control Commission. If you deal with him in the future, you must be careful."

"Well, we will pay attention. By the way, Xiaojie, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time. Does Ye Wulian have a chance to fight for it?"

Liu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then told Lin Jie the thoughts that he had kept in his mind for a long time.

"Dad, I know what you're worried about, but I really can't guarantee this. However, I am at least sure that I can keep her neutral and pretend that she knows nothing."

Lin Jie knew that in the future, as long as he could wait until Boss Dai died and the Military Control Commission was abolished and reorganized into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, he would have a chance to free Ye Wulian.

Isn't it just a matter of spending money? As long as Lin Jie is willing to spend money, he will be able to succeed.

"It's good that you have a plan. After driving the Japanese away, you can either establish a coalition government or decide the outcome in one battle. Humph! China will eventually belong to the people, not just a few families."

Lin Jie and Liu Qingshan exchanged some details and benefited a lot from them. Liu Qingshan also supplemented many points that Lin Jie had not considered.

In addition, Lin Jie also shared the general plan with Lao Zhou, but he said that the plan was initiated by Gang Village and did not mention the medicine.
